"Ouch!"
The cry of a nurse broke the silence after the shock. Lin Jue asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Who is injured?"
A nurse gasped and said: "It's not that I was injured, I was burned by this thing. Why did this firearm become so hot?"
After everyone heard this, they all stretched out their hands to touch the gun barrel at the front of the tortoise box, and it turned out to be surprisingly hot.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "I forgot to tell you that this thing has such a problem. It will become scalding hot after being fired continuously. This is a big drawback. It is easy to accidentally burn the skin. I haven't thought of a solution yet."
Everyone thought: Is this considered a drawback? This thing is really like thunder and fire. Compared with their power, what is this?
"Brother Lin, do you think they still dare to charge?" Shen Tan looked at the restless cavalry team to the north and asked in a deep voice.
Lin Jue said: "I don't know. If Yang Jun doesn't want to lose face, I don't think he will personally command the cavalry charge anymore. We actually have the convenience of firearms and location. If I were Yang Jun, I would not be here. We have launched an attack. We can definitely look for other opportunities."
Shen Tan understood what Lin Jue was talking about. If Yang Jun launched another ten or a hundred attacks, the outcome would probably be the same. As long as the terrain was like this, and as long as the Lin Family Nursing Home's firearms were still there, attacking would mean death. If he was smart, he would have to find another way. That's it.
"It's time for us to leave. Regardless of whether they attack or not, we can't delay any longer. It's almost dawn. We must leave the city before dawn." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Shen Tan nodded slowly and agreed. Although he established his authority in the first battle, the crisis has not been resolved. It is unknown whether he can leave the city, and whether he can escape after leaving the city. The future is long and confusing, and everything is unknown. But the current goal is It is clear that we need to leave the city quickly.
Lin Jue immediately ordered everyone to mount their horses, turn their horses' heads and chase the convoy a few miles ahead. In front, Guo Bing and others' car, escorted by 300 guards, had arrived at the intersection of Bianhe Street and headed west. Five miles away is the Xishuimen City Gate.
When Lin Jue and others rode away, Yang Jun was still in a daze. He regretted for underestimating the enemy. He said too much before, so he was slapped hard and sent away by the rushing cavalry. It was unbelievable that they were completely naked. The roar of firearms was still echoing in his mind. That thing was simply too terrifying. Lin Jue had such sharp weapons in his hands, and there were even a lot of them. This was the most deadly thing.
For the first time, Yang Jun had an unfathomable sense of awe for Lin Jue. If anyone had said that Yang Jun had awe of Lin Jue before, Yang Jun would have slapped him with a few big mouths and made him satisfied. Because even if Yang Jun admires Lin Jue, it is definitely not awe. In Yang Jun's view, Lin Jue does have some abilities, but it is definitely not something he can admire. The only time Lin Jue admired him was when he discussed the stability of Xixia with him on the wall of Xingren Mansion. What Lin Jue said at the time, Yang Jun did some thinking later, and he thought that if Lin Jue followed practice, or
Xu was much better than the extermination order he had issued. This was one of the reasons why Yang Jun later wanted to win over Lin Jue.
But when Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsun died, and a series of so-called ghosts claimed their lives in the capital, Yang Jun knew that he could not win over Lin Jue. It was obviously Lin Jue's doing, and he
He was also one of the parties responsible for the death of Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengshen. From Lin Jue's point of view, he was probably one of the people he wanted to kill. Therefore, Yang Jun no longer had the slightest love for Lin Jue.
.
After learning that Lin Jue was attacked on Xishan Mountain that day, Yang Jun felt regretful that Lin Jue could escape death. In his heart, he hoped to get rid of Lin Jue. This person gave him the feeling that he was no longer an object that could be attracted and used, but
A great threat.
Today, this threat has truly become an opponent that makes Yang Jun feel in awe. Yang Jun, like Lu Zhongtian, has eaten away at Lin Jue from his initial disdain for Lin Jue to his current fear of Lin Jue.
A lesson learned through great losses. For Yang Jun, today's lesson is indeed not a small one. He is a dignified Privy Councilor who once led an army to conquer all odds. He can be said to be a representative of the older generation of generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Today
Facing Lin Jue, a late comer who had just passed his prime years, he suffered a huge setback and lost all his face.
"Privy Minister Yang, they have withdrawn, shall we... still pursue them?" A general asked an inappropriate question. There was nothing wrong with the question, but to Yang Jun's ears, it sounded like a slap in the face to himself.
So uncomfortable.
"It's a joke, of course we have to chase him. But the firearms in his hands are fierce. We need to find favorable terrain to attack from all sides to make it difficult for him to look at both ends. In addition, do they think they can escape? I have deployed heavy troops at Xishuimen. Not long ago, that Ma Bin
I have sent someone to replace him. This person is very close to Lin Jue. Lin Jue must have used the West Water Gate to leave the city. Little did he know, Ma Bin was no longer at the city gate, but two thousand archers arranged by me were waiting there.
As for them, let's let him gain power for a while. When he arrives at Xishuimen Square, he will teach him a taste of my methods. Send the order, and the army will follow and attack. Immediately notify the Xishuimen defenders and get ready. As soon as they arrive at the city gate square, we will
Then immediately block the exit and try to catch a turtle in a jar." Yang Jun said coldly.
The cavalry generals were shocked when they heard this, and secretly admired Yang Jun's carefulness. Although the battle before them was a loss and humiliation, all Lin Jue's actions were within the expectations of the Privy Council, and they had no choice but to take action.
There is no escape.
At the intersection of Bianhe Street, Lin Jue and others escorted the carriages and horses of the prince, princess and others to the intersection. To the west is the wide and deserted street of Bianhe Street, and five miles away is the inner city gate of Xishuimen.
Everyone thought that Lin Jue would lead the people onto Bianhe Street heading west. However, Lin Jue issued an order that surprised them.
"Go forward at full speed and cross the Xingguo Temple Bridge. Leave the city through Yiqiu Gate." Lin Jue said.
"What? Brother Lin, didn't you say we want to leave the city through Xishui Gate? How come... we want to leave the city through Yiqiu Gate? Brother Ma is waiting for us at Xishui Gate, but we have to go through Yiqiu Gate instead? Is that possible? It's cheap
Qiumen is a small city gate in the southwest, and it must be guarded by soldiers and horses. The city gate is closed, do we still have to attack the city?" Shen Tan asked in shock.
Lin Jue shouted coldly: "What is imaginary is real, and what is real is imaginary. Whatever we think of, the enemy will definitely be able to think of it too."
.So, we must think more than they do. I have no time to elaborate now. I will tell you about this in detail after leaving the city. Hurry up and get to Yiqiu Gate as quickly as possible. You can’t give the other side the opportunity to dispatch troops. Opportunity. Hurry!”
After crossing the bridge, Shen Tan and the others were soon surprised to find that there seemed to be some arrangement here. There were a lot of logs piled up on both sides of the bridge. Lin Jue seemed to know that these things were piled here. After crossing the bridge, he immediately ordered the logs to be moved and piled up at the bridge. , overturned several carts, poured kerosene brought from unknown places, and started a fire.
What surprised Shen Tan and others was not just that. From time to time, there were fallen trees and various debris around the streets along the way. Lin Jue ordered Sun Dayong and others to drag the trees back and set them up across the street, and then set up the tall archway. Cut it down, knock down the surrounding low walls. In short, use any means that can temporarily block the road.
Lin Jue's efforts were certainly not in vain. The Bianhe River runs east and west of the capital, and there are naturally many bridges on the river. But there are actually only four bridges in the inner city. From east to west, they are Xiangguosi Bridge, Zhou Bridge, Junyi Bridge and Xingguo Temple. Bridges. These four bridges connect the east and west of the Bianhe River. Without these four bridges, the entire southern area of the inner city would be divided into two areas, the north and the south, by the Bianhe River. Although there are docks and ferries connecting them, crossing the river and crossing the bridge are two different concepts. Bridges are the fastest way to cross rivers.
After a fire broke out at the Heungguksa Bridge, the pursuers had to go around three other bridges to cross the river. It was unrealistic to cross the river by boat because it would be too slow unless there was a large-scale organization. In this situation , it is impossible to organize a large number of boats to cross the river.
It takes time to go around other bridges, which gives Lin Jue and others more time. The other party never expected that Lin Jue would go straight to Yiqiu Gate in the southwest corner of the inner city, so there are not many soldiers and horses here. Want to To form an encirclement and suppression force, people must be mobilized immediately. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to set up obstacles along the way. All of this is to rush out of Yiqiumen as quickly as possible. Because Lin Jue understands that once he is blocked, The narrow space under the city gate is extremely dangerous.
Of course, this cannot stop the opponent's encirclement and pursuit. The city is full of forbidden troops, and they will immediately mobilize soldiers and horses from the inner and outer cities to surround them. So in fact, time is the key, and you cannot be surrounded by a large number of soldiers and horses, otherwise it will It's hard to fly with wings.
Yiqiu Gate is a small city gate in the southwest corner of the inner city. This city gate is an ancient city gate. Compared with other city gates, it is neither the exit of the imperial road nor the exit of the Bianhe River waterway, so it appears It is very inconspicuous, even a bit useless. Someone in the court once proposed to seal Yiqiu Gate, because this gate has no need to exist since the opening of four new gates in the inner city. However, due to some considerations, Or perhaps it is out of some nostalgic feelings that this ancient city gate has not been filled in after all. It is also because the outer city outside the city gate is a large and exquisite maple forest. Standing at the top of the city to watch the autumn maple leaves The fiery scenery also became a means of entertainment for the scholar-bureaucrats, so it was preserved.
By the way, the name of the city gate, Yiqiu Gate, is quite elegant, and quite incompatible with the names of other city gates. Because of the beautiful maple leaf scenery in autumn, the former prime minister Tang Runzhi changed the name of the west corner gate to The word "Yi Qiu" means that the forest is dyed in autumn and the scenery is superb. It means that it is best to enjoy the scenery in autumn.
