But Wang Xian was scaring himself. At this moment, Wei Wuque was still looking at Pingxingguan in Baishiya and sighing. From years ago to now, he launched more and more violent attacks. But when Liu Zijin returned with supplies
Later, the morale of the defenders soared, causing his attacks to fail again and again, resulting in heavy losses.
As the war becomes more and more unfavorable, Wei Wuque has realized that it is almost impossible to break through Pingxing Pass, although this is difficult for the arrogant Master Wei to accept... Losing Pingxing Pass will not threaten Guangling. After all, there are still many
It has a long depth and enough passes to defend. But it will make his army lose the way to advance.
Guangling County has three passages from east to west, east and west, and it is impossible to face the armies of Xuanfu and Datong respectively without the Ming army releasing water. Only Pingxing Pass in the south can attack his army.
Calm and aggressive. Now that Pingxingguan cannot be recaptured, he becomes extremely passive and can only wait for the situation to change... For example, if the Ming army cannot attack for a long time, Taisun is recalled to the capital and replaced by the King of Han.
In any case, it is too frustrating to only look at other people's faces. It's no wonder that President Wei Wuque spent a long night and had no intention of sleeping. Moreover, there was a rift between him and Yu Gui because of the differences over the attack on Pingxing Pass... Yu Gui led the replacement
The troops who went down returned to Guangling County and never came back, which made Wei Wuque feel a little uneasy. After all, in this one-third-acre land in Guangling, Yu Gui was the boss, and he was his second boss.
'If it really doesn't work, we can only give up this Pingxing Pass.' Wei Wuque sighed. Without Pingxing Pass, Guangling would be like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it would be a pity to abandon it. He thought of returning to Guangling to repair it with Yu Gui, and then reorganize the army.
, to appease the congregation, strengthen the defense, and wait for the opportunity, Wei Wuque became agitated. He wanted to do big things, not sit here in the miserable city and be the king of the mountain.
Thinking of this, he put on his big cloak in annoyance, got up and walked out of the tent. The wind stopped outside and the snow lightened, revealing a grayish-white sky. As depressing as his mood was, Wei Wuque actually felt that it was better to go back. With this thought
, he was shocked. After all, there were more than 40,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of followers. How could such a large force be abandoned?
Taking a look at the direction of Guangling County, Wei Wuque secretly told himself to be patient, be patient, be patient, you can't achieve great things without patience...
But he will soon know that he doesn't need to be patient anymore, because the negligent Guangling garrison didn't even notice that someone touched the top of the city.
The defenders at the head of Guangling City are more lazy than the defenders at the outer passes. In their opinion, any enemy situation will be discovered by the outer passes, and with the dangerous terrain, they can completely resist it. Even if they can't resist it, come
There was no problem in reporting the news. With their infinite trust in their comrades on the periphery, half of the defenders went home to celebrate the New Year... The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year. Staying up late on New Year's Eve and celebrating the new year on the third day of the Lunar New Year are the highlight of this festival.
The most important thing is that all the soldiers wanted to go home to celebrate the New Year, but they had to leave some people to guard the city, so Yu Gui had an idea and ordered half of the soldiers to go home to watch the New Year's Eve, and the other half to stay on duty, and then switch over on the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year. Last night was exactly
It was the third day of the Lunar New Year, so there were only half of the defenders on the city, and they had just returned home from celebrating the New Year.
The rebel army did not have as strict military discipline as the official army. Although they were on duty at the top of the city, they still had to celebrate the New Year. The soldiers joined in, bought wine and food, and drank all night on this windy and snowy night. They were happier than celebrating the New Year at home.
Originally, there were a few unlucky guys who were patrolling outside and showing off. After hearing the people inside shouting and shouting, they also sneaked back to join the party of drinking and making money. By dawn, everyone was drunk.
Tired, I climbed onto the big bunk and fell asleep.
This is also the reason why Wang Xian chose to take action during the Spring Festival, because this is the time when people are most relaxed and want to have fun. When the Ming army touched the barracks of the defenders at the top of the city, they almost fainted from the smell of alcohol inside.
,'Qiu, why are you so virtuous..., Having said that, seeing the enemy army so drunk, the Ming army was naturally overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward without ceremony, raised the knife in his hand, cut leeks, and killed all the defenders in the room before opening it.
Open the city gate and let the army enter the city.
When the Ming army entered Guangling City, it was already bright and the snow had stopped. The believers in the city opened their doors one after another and prepared to go to the street to release the New Year's whip. However, when they saw the army entering the city, they were all stunned and at a loss.
The Ming army ignored these people and went straight to the general's mansion... which was the original Guangling County government office. To capture the thief first, capture the king. This principle is true everywhere, but it is especially true here.
In Guangling County Yamen, Yu Gui was too old to sleep and had the habit of getting up early. At this moment, he was already freshly dressed and eating breakfast. When he saw the soldiers outside the door stumbling in, he frowned in displeasure. His mud legs will always be mud legs.
I can't learn the rules no matter what. "What's the matter?" Yu Gui asked in a deep voice. If the soldier can't say "Dingmao", no matter whether it's the Chinese New Year or not, he will be beaten to establish his authority.
"Report... report... report... something bad has happened," the soldier turned pale with fright and stammered: "The officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers have entered the city."
"That's nonsense." Yu Gui laughed and said, "The officers and soldiers are still in Taiyuan. Are they going to fly in with their wings?"
"But I really saw it," the soldier said anxiously: "The black people are coming from the street. The brothers have closed the door of the government and went to ring the alarm bell..." Before he finished speaking, the alarm bell rang through the government office, and Yu Gui changed his expression.
, hurriedly went to the front of the house to see, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly put a big cloak on him.
There were Yu Gui's three thousand hard-core troops in the government office. Even when the attack on Pingxingguan was at its fiercest, he did not have to use this capital. At this moment, the army was gathering in a chaotic manner. Some soldiers were not wearing armor, and some officers were not wearing helmets.
Some Yu Jian did not bring weapons, and they were still asking each other what happened. It was not until they saw Yu Gui coming out that they became quieter.
"Why panic? The sky won't fall." Yu Gui snorted coldly: "There should be a small group of troops who have rebelled. I will mobilize the army to crush them to ashes." After hearing what General Pingtian said, all the officers and soldiers were completely
They regained their composure, gathered their equipment, and rushed to their respective positions... After the county government was changed to Pingtian General's Mansion, it went through some renovations. Not only did the courtyard walls be raised, but also an archery tower, a female wall, and the like were added.
The facilities and defense are very complete. Moreover, the food stockpiled is enough for him and three thousand soldiers to feed him for half a year. There is also an independent water source. It can be said that he has taken great pains.
After all, Yu Gui had snatched his position from someone else. He was worried about being taken back day and night, so he naturally spent money to strengthen his tortoise shell. It was precisely with this tortoise shell that he could stay calm and climb the arrow tower.
Looking outside, I couldn't help but gasp. I saw that the people lined up outside the house were not rebels, but people wearing Ming army armor. It turned out that they were actually the official army.
Yu Gui's scalp exploded at that time, and he almost sat down on the ground. He was full of questions, how could it be possible, how could it be possible? How could the Ming army just enter the city and surround him? Is this a dream? Is this possible?
He must have been dreaming. He pinched himself hard, and he let out an exclamation of pain. It was over. He was not dreaming...
Seeing that General Pingtian, who had been calm just now, was actually frightened. A group of subordinates hurriedly helped him up, and the deputy general said anxiously: "General, the top priority is to defend the enemy. I see that the Ming army is not large in number. We just need to hold on."
There is a way"
"That's it." Yu Gui seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, cheering up and saying: "Order the children to hold on with all their strength, and quickly send a signal to the left and right armies, asking them to come to the rescue quickly." After a pause, he said: "By the way, more more
Gather the believers, and Yan will drown the officers and soldiers outside the mansion."
"Yes" the orders were passed on one after another, and the Ming army over there began to attack the general's mansion. In the eyes of the Ming army, so many seemingly insurmountable difficulties before were easily overcome, leaving only the general's mansion, which was not easy to capture.
?But the reality surprised them. They attacked from all sides at the same time, and encountered stubborn resistance on all sides. The enemy troops inside shot at them with bows, arrows and even firecrackers. The Ming army paid a heavy price, but still could not conquer it immediately.
In that room, the Ming Cultists who had come back to their senses and the troops stationed in other places in the county also came back to their senses and started to reinforce the county government office. Seeing the enemy troops coming from all directions, the soldiers in the rear army who were responsible for sniping were all numb.
It seems that a bloody battle is inevitable
Just as the two sides were getting closer and closer, and had begun to shoot each other with bows and crossbows, suddenly a melodious sound of Buddhist music came. The music was ethereal and pure, as if it had a magical effect, and actually made the troops and believers slow down.
Show an expression of surprise.
The Ming army also stopped shooting because the music came from behind them.
Amidst the sound of Buddhist music, a passage was opened in front of the Ming army formation, with ninety-nine men and women in white as guards. Eighteen white-clothed sedan bearers slowly came out carrying a Dharma chariot with a transparent silk curtain hanging on it.
Floating gently in the breeze after the snow, the Spring Festival Saint sitting on it is reflected, looking really like Guanyin.
"Saint, Saint!" The White Lotus believers immediately exploded. Many people knelt down on the spot to greet the returning Saint. "Welcome to the Saint."
But there are also many people who do not believe in the saint, loudly reminding those who are kneeling: "She came from the Ming army. Either she surrendered to the Ming army or she was a spy of the Ming army."
When the believers heard the words, they also looked at the saint in confusion, hoping that she could give an explanation. The saint sitting on the Dharma chariot slowly swept her eyes over the believers, lightly opened her red lips and said: "My teachings, you
Have you forgotten?"
"I don't dare." All the believers shook their heads.
"Then you must remember my parting words." The saint said calmly.
"I have not forgotten." The believers recited loudly: "The saint said that I am in trouble and have to travel far, so you can take care of yourself; and she also said that after I leave, you will still be united and friendly. Please remember that General Tongtian is a subordinate of the Buddha.
No one can replace the person who leads you. You must serve General Tongtian as your master and prevent anyone from usurping his position. And when I return, it will be the day when you will transcend the sea of suffering."
