Ma Bin, Sun Dayong, and the remaining Forbidden Army soldiers stood in the square holding long knives, panting and laughing. Each of them had at least a dozen wounds on their bodies. Their whole bodies seemed to have been washed with blood, and their whole bodies were covered with blood.
Red. They were already unsteady on their feet at this moment, and the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss had already made their bodies sway, but their mood was extremely joyful. They did it, the south city gate was still open, and the suspension bridge was still open. At the city gate
The fire has been extinguished and the two city gates have been burned to ashes. They completed the impossible task and opened the door to capture Yingtian Mansion. Of course, at the critical moment, the people of Yingtian Mansion played a huge role
.Without them, everything would be hard to say.
"Listen, Brother Sun, have you heard it? The sound of the cavalry's horseshoes. The sound of the cavalry's horseshoes." Ma Bin tilted his ears to listen to the sound and shouted loudly.
Sun Dayong listened carefully, and he heard a thunderous sound, which was the sound of the cavalry's hooves. The ground was still shaking, and the cavalry was already very close.
"Yes, the cavalry has arrived and everything should be over. Congratulations, Mr. Ma, you did it." Sun Dayong gasped.
Ma Bin laughed and said: "Congratulations to you too. Without Brother Sun, I would have failed this time. I want to ask the court for credit. You have made a great contribution this time."
Sun Dayong laughed and said: "There's no need to ask for credit. I'm not a court official, not even a member of the imperial army. I'm just a nurse in Mr. Lin's family. The credit belongs to Mr. Ma and these brothers. From now on, Mr. Ma
Just treat me to a few more drinks. Say goodbye to Mr. Ma, it’s time for me to go."
"What? You want to leave, where are you going?" Ma Bin said in shock.
Sun Dayong smiled and said: "This is not my duty. My duty is to protect the safety of the people in the Grand Theater. When the army enters the city, the army is in chaos. I have to go back to take care of them. Mr. Ma, please help me find the bodies of my two brothers."
Concentrate and send back to the capital, but I can't do that now. Let's say goodbye and see you later."
Sun Dayong dragged the long knife and turned around and staggered away. Ma Bin opened his mouth to scream, but closed his mouth again. Sun Dayong came to fulfill the Lin family's duty to protect the home, and he had to protect Zheng Nuanyu and the others. And Sun Dayong
He is not the kind of person who wants to be an official. Otherwise, as the captain of the royal guard, he could join the army and become a minor official. What I said just now was asking for credit for him was actually inappropriate. He didn't care about anything.
Credit.
People like Sun Dayong still have the charlatanism in them, and they don't care about official positions in the court. He will wholeheartedly make friends with the right people and don't care about anything else. Shen Tan is actually this kind of person.
"Look, what is a man? This is a man. I am determined to make this friend." Ma Bin reached out and raised his thumb towards Sun Dayong's back.
The rumble of horseshoes rolled like thunder. Huai Wang Guo Xu took the lead and galloped from the suspension bridge, passing through the steaming city gate and rushing into the city unobstructed. Behind him, a torrent of four thousand cavalry rolled in, and in the south city
It began to spread in the streets and alleys.
Finally, in the early morning of the fifth day, Guo Xu succeeded in attacking Yingtian Mansion.
Half an hour ago, Guo Xu led his cavalry around Nancheng. His movements were clearly seen by Hai Dongqing and others at the top of the city. Haidongqing, Song Xian and others all understood that the news must have been that Nancheng was occupied.
It spread to the officers and soldiers.
Because Qian Dezhang had already been sent to retake Nancheng, Hai Dongqing was not too panicked. He knew that it would take at least half an hour for the opponent's cavalry to arrive at the gate of Nancheng, and Qian Dezhang had already set off before a stick of incense.
, it is not a problem for 800 men to recapture Nancheng. As long as the city gate is recaptured, Guo Xu can only look at the city and sigh. And now is not the time for him to be distracted. The last 5,000 officers and soldiers have already rushed up, and it seems that they are going to
We are fighting to the death in the West City, so we cannot relax here at all. If there is a slight movement, the South City is not broken, but the West City is broken first. That is really a joke.
But out of caution, Hai Dongqing still sent two guardians and five hundred skitarii to reinforce. Firstly, it was to prevent Qian Dezhang from being unable to recapture the city gate in time. Secondly, it was to prevent the opponent's cavalry from arriving after recapturing the city gate.
If we attack on the spot, our own troops will not be able to mobilize enough to cause danger. The 500 Skitarii and Qian Dezhang's men sent can temporarily resist the opponent's attack, and we can also have time to send reinforcements.
Just when Hai Dongqing thought everything was safe, less than half an hour later, the two guardians rushed back with hundreds of security guards and reported a piece of news that made Hai Dongqing heartbroken. Nancheng was completely lost, and Nancheng's
All the people rebelled. The two guardians and their soldiers rushed to the long street on the east side of Nanhu, and were attacked by a large group of people. In the entanglement, people from all directions came to attack, and the two guardians had to lead their men.
Quickly retreat. At the same time, they also learned what happened in Nancheng. Qian Dezhang was killed by the people, the city gate was in the hands of officers and soldiers, and the people in the entire Nancheng were rebelling. Everything was out of control. Several hundred of their people simply
There is no way to send reinforcements.
Hai Dongqing was shocked and speechless, and his whole body was cold. The situation was out of control. At this moment, it was too late to send troops and horses to rescue. Less than half an hour had passed, and the opponent's cavalry should have arrived soon. Once the southern city was broken, the general situation was over. With the help of
The walls of the city are strong enough so that you can defend Yingtian Mansion. Once the city is broken, the skitarii will not be enough for the officers and soldiers. Ordinary believers and people will not be able to organize themselves at all. Everything is over.
"Master of the Dazhai, what should we do? We are working hard here, but no one thought that we would be dug out of our retreat. It's over, it's over." Song Mian was so frightened that he even forgot to call Shenggong, and directly called the island
title.
Hai Dongqing didn't care about the title. His mind was running rapidly, thinking of countermeasures. Originally, he planned to stick to Yingtian Mansion, because it was a barrier against officers and soldiers, and it was also the passage south to Huainan Road. But
At this moment, the barrier is broken. I am afraid that going south is seeking death. The only thing I can do now is to abandon the city and go north. Without Yingtian Mansion, Jingdongxi Road and a large area of prefectures and counties are temporarily my own territory. At least there are still some places in those places.
There is a chance to regroup. If we rush south to Huainan Road at this moment, we will end up with a dead end.
Living or dying with Yingtian Mansion? That is impossible. If the city is broken, then flee. The green hills left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood. This is not the first time that Hai Dongqing has suffered a failure. He has a strong heart. But the problem is, now
Is it too late to escape? You can't escape alone. You must take the Skitarii away. This is the capital of your own recovery. Otherwise, you can only be a lost dog.
"Brother Song, don't be anxious. I estimate that it will take a long time for their cavalry to reach Nancheng. After all, it is so dark. Although they are cavalry, they are not much different from the speed of infantry. For this plan, Nancheng must be recaptured immediately.
The city gate can stabilize the situation. If the people in the city cause chaos, it is not a big deal at all. As long as they suppress it afterwards, the situation can be calmed down." Hai Dongqing said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I will lead people to retake the city gate. If the people dare to block the way, I will fight my way out." Song Mian said hurriedly.
"No, no, no, I have to handle this matter personally. Brother, I have to dispatch a large number of people to go there, so I can only ask you to handle it. You and I are brothers, so I can only entrust you with the important task.
.As long as we get through this difficulty, everything will be fine. Don’t worry, as long as you hold on tonight, you will be the deputy leader tomorrow, and I will grant you the title of sub-sage. From now on, you and I will work together for great things." Hai Dongqing
He patted Song Xian on the shoulder and said.
"How dare this... subordinate do this." Song Xian was filled with anticipation, but his mouth was humble. After following Hai Dongqing for so many years, the relationship between them was just that of superior and subordinate. In today's crisis, the leader of the village was finally willing to give in.
Share the power with yourself.
"You deserve this. You, Meng Xiang, and several other old brothers followed me around and did a lot of great things. I have long regarded you as brothers in my heart. As brothers, we must support each other. Today.
I can only entrust you with the matter. Only you can control the situation here, lest the morale of the army will be shaken after I leave. So I have to leave everything to you. I plan to dispatch 10,000 skitarii to Nancheng and quickly retake Nancheng City.
door, and then lead the army back, what do you think?"
"Ten thousand Skitarii? Do we need so many people? How can we defend this place? We don't have many people left. There are less than 15,000 of the thirty thousand Skitarii left."
Song Mian said in astonishment.
Hai Dongqing smacked his lips and said: "That's right, brother, you need more people to disperse the people and recapture the south city gate immediately. Recapture it quickly so that you can quickly come back to defend the city. Although there are fewer people here, the opponent's offensive has already begun.
At the end of the battle, you can ask all the believers under the city to go up to the city to help defend. Well... Otherwise, I will take eight thousand people away. You have tens of thousands of guards and other troops on hand, which should be able to last half an hour.
I was back half an hour later. Nancheng cannot be broken. If you let them in, you will know the consequences. I know it is difficult, but you can only do it. I said, I can only entrust you with such a heavy responsibility.
.If you think you can’t do it, I can let someone else do it.”
Song Mian frowned and was speechless. Sheng Gong's words made him unable to refuse. If he didn't agree, Sheng Gong would be very unhappy. Then he would be doomed. If he agreed, it would be extremely difficult to defend the city if eight thousand men were taken away. But
No matter what, he had no choice but to agree.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your subordinates will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations. Shenggong... also has to leave and return as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the south gate is recaptured and the west city is lost, then it will be like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. It will be the same as the end." Song Xian said.
"No, no, I will go back as soon as possible. Maybe in just one stick of incense, I will capture Nancheng. I will rush back immediately. Don't I understand this? Brother, I leave everything to you.
I will be grateful to you as a good brother." Hai Dongqing rarely bowed to Song Mian and saluted. Song Mian was startled, and at the same time, there was an impulse in his heart to die for his confidant.
Hai Dongqing immediately dispatched eight thousand skitarii to leave, but he did not go to the south city, but went straight north toward the north gate. When Guo Xu's cavalry rushed into the city, Hai Dongqing had already led the eight thousand guards.
The teaching troops rushed out from the north gate and fled northward overnight.
Song Mian never expected that Hai Dongqing would abandon him at the critical moment, leaving him as cannon fodder. Hai Dongqing asked Song Mian to desperately block the siege troops in Xicheng, so that he could escape without being entangled.
Only Song Mian could temporarily stabilize the situation, so he did not hesitate to sacrifice Song Mian in exchange for his own escape. Song Mian knew that he was being attacked from two sides, and even after the city was breached, he did not wait for the rescue of Sheng Gong. Finally, he learned that Sheng Gong had already left the north city.
After escaping, Song Mian cursed endlessly and jumped to the city to die in regret. Brothers are meant to be betrayed. Hai Dongqing perfectly interpreted this sentence.
On the 12th day of August in the sixth year of Qingfeng, Yingtian Mansion, which had been occupied by the Qingjiao bandits for 14 days, was successfully recovered by King Huai's army.
