Chapter 240: The Fortune of the Country 20
Chapter 240 20
The battle lasted for seven or eight days, and Li Guojian survived under Song Jiang's powerful offensive. "Words * love * first * hair
After blocking the fierce siege of Liangshan soldiers and horses, the city wall was full of broken potholes, the flowing blood stained the blue bricks on the wall black, and there were arrow scars everywhere, and the whole city seemed to be crumbling.
The two sides fell into a stalemate, and no one could take each other with casualties, but Song Jiang's troop losses far exceeded Wang Xiu's, his army of nearly 30,000 was consumed by seven or eight thousand people, and the corpses outside the city were all over the field and had no time to clean up, piled up into mountains, if it weren't for the cold weather, the ironclad outbreak of the plague, that is, the two sides had to cover their faces with cotton cloths, and the smell of the corpses was too unpleasant, which showed the tragic Cheng dΓΉ of this battle. Wang Xiu did not go home, he has been sticking to the city, he knows that his survival is the reason for everyone to persevere, and there must be no slack at this time.
The soldiers were also inspired by him, their eyes were bloodshot, and they repelled the Liangshan soldiers and horses to attack again and again, everyone continued to fight in turns, and the arrows and soldiers were rapidly consumed, but the reinforcements were delayed.
On the night of the seventh day, he sent Feng Yuan to be neatly clothed, took the three horses to break through to Tokyo to ask for help, and instructed that the urgent document for signing the deposit card must be sent to Tokyo, and it should be transmitted directly to the Xuande Gate, and not handed over to any of the guards.
Of course, if it is possible, it is okay to give Wang Qingjiao, and it must not fall into the hands of the bureaucrats.
He didn't believe in Jingdong's vassals, let alone Yintaisi, Wang Hao and Cai You's power was too great, and they were happy to watch the fall of Li Guojian.
This group of mischievous people even dared to use their hands and feet to rescue soldiers and horses everywhere, so that the guards everywhere threw rat traps, prevaricated and waited and watched for various reasons, and a small gold plaque was handed to them, the consequences were conceivable, and they must not take risks.
Feng Yuan was reluctant to leave, he wanted to protect his safety, but he still set off decisively under Wang Xiuxiao's righteousness.
In order to cover his breakthrough, Wang Xiu launched a counteroffensive from the south gate, creating the illusion of the whole army breaking through and attracting Song Jiang's attention. Sure enough, the Liangshan army went out of the village one after another to intercept the inexplicable enemy and let Feng Yuanshun kill him.
Feng Yuan broke out and unloaded the precious iron armor, and the three horses continued to rotate, intercepting a shop delivery soldier in Feng County, civilizing some situations, and immediately shocked, carrying Wang Xiu's heavy trust with a cold face and heading towards Tokyo. Wang Xiu didn't know how long he could hold on, his plan would last for ten days at most, and the guards from all over the country would be embarrassed to see it even if they watched it, and it was really impossible to say if they didn't come to support him. However, he made a mistake in calculation, and he didn't expect that Song Jiang's division of troops in Pengcheng would reduce the pressure on Liguo, and at the same time give a good excuse to the guards everywhere.
Youqin Mo Yan, as Wang Xiu's wife, once again showed her kind and resolute side, Qin Xianrong also left that layer of gentleness, they went to the silk dress, changed into a thorn cloth dress, and ran around the city with the little lady and the old woman in the dress, either to take care of the wounded or to make meals and send them to the city.
The people in the city were also panicked, and the battle was on fire, and once the city was broken, they would face bloody revenge, and tens of thousands of residents were at a loss. Wang Xiu was good at inducing this uneasiness, coupled with the frequent appearance of Youqin Mo Yan, she and Qin Xianrong were generous, which was easy to accept, and many rich women joined them, which directly drove the attitude of the workshop owner.
They also changed their attitudes, since their own daughters participated, then support it, and mobilize one household at a time, those with copper and iron from copper and iron, and those with craftsmen from craftsmen, and some idle domestic servants were also sent to the army, and the whole city was united as never before, and the old and weak women and children who could not go to the city did what they could to transport supplies.
On the eleventh day, the situation became more and more critical, Wang Xiu ate and guarded with the soldiers day and night, and the soldiers could take turns to rest, but as the supreme commander, he always had to deal with the crisis, and sometimes he was called up before he could sit down, he was really tired and tired, just like finding a place to sleep well.
It is also his persistence that the soldiers see in their eyes and keep in their hearts, and they all maintain strong morale.
Feng Yuan is the official seal of the state supervisor, with a shiny gilt gold medal on his back, no one dares to stop the delay, after reading the urgent war report official Tang Muwen, the post station hurriedly provided meals and horses, all the way to Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion.
The Jinzi brand emergency military intelligence can pass through the Suzaku Gate from the Nanxun Gate, directly arrive at the Xuande Gate, deliver the Guantang to the Banzhi guards guarding the door, and then go directly to Tianting. This is the rule set by the ancestors, and the war gold card Guantang goes straight to the heavens, and there are more than that, there is also a Privy Council screening and sorting, and the Privy Council undertakes to classify and report.
Feng Yuan hit the horse and galloped, becoming a striking scenery in Kaifeng, he jumped off the stagecoach outside the Xuande Gate, fell to the ground, and still took out the Guantang chapter and shouted: "Li Guojian urgently folds, the face is His Majesty, Li Guojian." β
Several days of high-intensity combat, two days and one night of galloping, he could no longer support it, and he couldn't stand up on the finely ground bluestone ground.
Several squad guards came over, helped him up and took him into the duty room inside the door to rest, and came up with tea and pastries, and all the gold cards that returned directly from the battlefield were very likely to be summoned by the Son of Heaven or the prime minister, but there could be no sloppiness.
At this time, just after the Great Dynasty, he summoned the ministers of the two prefectures who were in the Ouchi Hanging Arch Hall to listen to the great policies of the first month, which was the system of the imperial court, and even if he was tired of government affairs, he had to come from Kenyue. Well, Kenyue Shangyang Palace has basically been built, and the scale is even grander than Yanfu Palace, Zhao Ji directly gave up Shangyang Palace to live in, and he had to return to Da Nei to live for two days every month.
Feng Yuan didn't know that his luck was good, and he met the Great Dynasty when he came to Tokyo.
The Northern Expedition was being discussed in the vertical arch hall, and he didn't care about the two civil strife in the territory at all, the gang in Song Jiang was called bandits, and Fang La had not yet developed, although it was not small, it was not taken seriously by the imperial court.
The gold card shop from Li Guojian was directly presented by Xiao Huangmen, and said: "Official, Xuzhou Li Guojian expedited the gold card military affairs shop." β
Zhao Ji was stunned, Guantang had already been taken over by Zhang Di and handed over the yellow chapter inside. Wang Hao's face was very ugly, he never expected that Wang Xiu would be able to send someone to fight his way out of the encirclement and hand the chapter to Zhao Ji, but he took a breath. He is not afraid of revealing the matter of not letting the ministers rescue the country, and there is no letter as evidence, those ministers are not fools, and the reinforcement of Pengcheng is an excuse, even Cai Jing, Cai You and other Cai family members are not easy to speak, the key is that he is afraid that Zhao Ji will strictly order the rescue of the country again. "Oh." Zhao Ji opened the chapter, his brows jumped slightly, looked at Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang, Cai You, Wang An and others, and said slowly: "How are the Jingdong bandits chasing and suppressing?"
