Chapter 263: The Half-Moon Siege
Hearing Yan Shao's laughter, Nan Xun suddenly felt so embarrassed, she had never experienced such a thing, she was always uneasy, and sometimes she couldn't turn her mind around, and many people who could usually think of problems couldn't figure it out.
As soon as Yan Shao's words came out, Nan Xun had already realized that it was indeed as Yan Shao said, the sound of the crashing car hitting the city gate was announced, and the troops that the eldest prince had planted in the city to raid the city gate had failed.
This should be a good thing for everyone.
Nan Xun said: "Freshman, you go and see how it goes." ”
Yan Shao also said: "Dashun, together, you can take care of each other, don't fly all over the sky this time, so as not to be regarded as a meticulous work, be careful." ”
Although this is said to Da Shun, in fact, it is also an early instruction to the freshman, if they want to fly all over the sky like the first, they will definitely become the target of the archers, after all, at this time, any little wind and grass may cause the vigilance of the soldiers defending the city, not to mention that you are blatantly flying around on people's heads, what is the difference between that and looking for death.
Freshman and Dashun nodded, then pushed open the door and walked out, fortunately this time they didn't rise directly from the ground, but just slowly walked and disappeared into the crowd.
Nan Xun closed the door and continued to chat with Yan Shao, looking at Yan Shao's calm appearance, Nan Xun couldn't help but ask: "I said, do you know any news, otherwise why are you so calm, if you know any news, you should say it quickly, so as not to be afraid of us all the time here."
Yan Shao smiled and said, "I don't have any news, I'm just like a thing." ”
"What's the matter!?" Nami Kaoru asked.
"It's where the general went, at this time, the general shouldn't be there, it stands to reason that it should appear, the emperor can't put such a bargaining chip without it."
"It's not that I've just analyzed it, the general was dragged down by those rogues."
"What is the general, he doesn't have to fight three times to see the intentions of these rogues, how can he be dragged down by such a group of people!"
"That's what I thought before, you see that Mingzong is critically ill. This prince has not yet been established, in case Mingzong suddenly dies, then this throne will definitely be produced among several princes, and the general may not want to participate in these things. Therefore, it happened to take advantage of the matter of the liukou to wait outside until the throne was stable, and then come back to assist the new monarch. ”
"It's not impossible, but I still think so. What's not right, according to the relationship between the emperor and the general, the emperor has been seriously ill for so long and has not come back, which means a little different. ”
Nan Xun shook his head and said: "The relationship is good or bad, it is what people say, whether it is actually good or not, out of each other, no one will know clearly, what we see is just an illusion." Perhaps, in fact, the relationship between the general and the emperor is not as good as people think. ”
"It's not something we can know," Yan Shao sighed and said, "After all, we're just ordinary people, this kind of thing, but we can't know about it, it can only be hearsay, by the way, don't you have a good relationship with the General's Mansion." I haven't heard the general mention it. ”
"No, the general rarely talks about things in the palace in front of others, and usually talks about stories about leading troops to fight. After all, no matter how bold the general is, he knows it. Not everything can be said, especially about the emperor, and he won't mention a word. ”
Several people on the side have been listening to the conversation between Yan Shao and Nan Xun, but they are all silent, because what the two of them said, the others don't know anything. I don't have any opinions, I can only listen.
Xiao Yi may be clever enough to understand, but it's really because he is clever, so he won't interject in, so as not to say the wrong thing when he gets it, after all, Nan Xun's thoughts, Xiao Yi doesn't understand.
A few more people talked for a while, and then they saw the freshman and Dashun push open the door and walk in.
The two said in unison: "The city gate is intact!" ”
"Oh, that's good," Kaoru Nan asked, "What about Nishi City!?" ”
"Just like a tragedy in the world, the Imperial City Guards all came out of the palace and fought directly with the Northwest Army in the West City, which is why the Northwest Army that infiltrated the city did nothing. The two fought in the West Market for a long time, and when I arrived, they were still fighting, with countless casualties, and many ordinary people were also affected, and they were implicated, just like a Shura field, and I couldn't stand it. ”
After the freshman finished speaking, Dashun continued: "Moreover, it is estimated that when they finish fighting, the entire West Market will become like a slaughterhouse, alas,......"
Nan Xun calculated in his heart, so to speak, the strength of the Imperial City Guards should not be underestimated, but who filmed the Imperial City Guards, now, no one is in control of the Imperial Palace, wouldn't it be even worse.
No, Nan Xun thought about it, if the Imperial City Guards were not sent out at this time, then, in case the city gate was breached, and the Northwest Iron Cavalry outside the city drove straight in, these thousands of Imperial City Guards would not be able to carry out effective defense at all, so it was better to send them out at this time and directly exterminate this group of Northwest Army who infiltrated the city, lest they cause more trouble in the city.
Yan Shao asked: "What is the city gate like!?" ”
"I guess," Dashun said, "the commander of the Northwest Army drove straight in, day and night, and did not bring any effective siege equipment at all, and it is estimated that the one who hit the door is not a siege vehicle, otherwise, no matter how strong the defense of Dingdingmen is, it will not last so long." ”
"I also thought of it," Yan Shao nodded and said, "The Northwest Army is good at cavalry and raids, so it will definitely not bring heavy weapons here, which is why I can sit here so peacefully, as long as I hold on to tonight, and wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the general should be able to rush back day and night, and at that time, it is time for victory." ”
"What if the general is determined not to come back!?" Nan Kaoru asked, although he knew that it was impossible for the general not to come back, but he still wanted to hear what Yan Shao would say.
"No," Yan Shao said, "Before, it was just a secret fight, and the general could pretend not to know, but now, the prince led the troops to attack the city and rebelled, and you didn't come back to save the general, and his crime was equivalent to rebellion." I believe that the general can figure out this truth and will not care about his reputation. ”
Nan Kaoru nodded. Yan Shao's analysis is not much different from what she thought, so she can only wait until the general comes back, and I don't know if the prince has any other back-ups, in case he is making some kind of heavenly divine soldiers. When the general came back, he could only sigh with joy, so Nan Xun asked: "I don't know, the eldest prince still has any back-ups." ”
"Who knows, maybe there is. Maybe not, of course, Mingzong's side, don't feel that you are exhausted, maybe there are other forces that have not been used, Luoyang City is lively now, this game, good, fun. ”
"You are a person, the life is miserable, and the people are not happy, in your eyes it is actually fun. Do you still have a conscience? Nan Xun glanced at Yan Shao dissatisfied, and found that Yan Shao had become out of character again, and began to play hip-hop.
It's really sad, this temper with few words is really difficult to control.
The shouting and killing sound on the side of the West Market did not gradually subside until dawn, and at the city gate, there was no longer a knocking sound, it seems that Luoyang City was safe and sound this night.
It is a pity that the people of Xicheng have suffered from the seedlings.
Though. Mingzong had just ordered that all those who lost their loved ones would be compensated, and there were quite a few of them.
But no amount of money can make up for the pain of losing a family.
People on the street cursed the eldest prince one after another. And he has a deep grudge against him.
Nan Xun suddenly felt that this was deliberately designed by Mingzong, he may have known that there was a military character in the northwest here, but he deliberately didn't catch it, so let the Northwest Army fight with the Imperial City Guards in the West City. After the infamy of the eldest prince, if Mingzong ordered the people to help defend the city, would these people still be unwilling to come.
Calculations, calculations, calculations, all calculations, Nan Xun sighed in his heart, but these are all his conjectures, and there is no actual evidence to prove that his speculation is right.
After dawn, Nan Xun let everyone rest, after all, they hadn't slept all night, and it wasn't like that to stay up like this.
After everyone rested, Nan Kaoru also returned to her boudoir, waiting for the night to fall, because she still couldn't sleep, and she didn't want others to worry, so she stayed in the house by herself.
A day passed, Nan Xun heard the sound of hitting the city gate twice, but did not hear the signs of the Dingding Gate being breached, it seems that the gate of the imperial city is not ordinary, there is no sharp siege equipment, if you want to beat Luoyang City, I don't know how much effort and energy it takes.
I hope the general can come back soon, Nan Kaoru looked forward to it in his heart.
After all, it still disappointed him.
On the third day, the general still didn't come back, and Yan Shao at this time also panicked, sat in the pawnshop, and said: "What's the matter with this general, Hedong is not very far from here, if you travel day and night, you should almost come back." ”
However, complaining is fruitless, and the general does not come back or does not come back.
At this time, there are not many soldiers who can be used in Luoyang City, but the Northwest Army outside, it is said that there are still 30,000 or 40,000 troops lined up outside, ready to attack the city again.
On the fourth day, it was still the same,......
On the fifth day, it was still like this......
……
More than ten days have passed, and finally, Mingzong issued an edict, that is, now it is a critical moment, and there are not many troops defending the city on the city wall, and I hope that the people will stand up and help through this crisis together.
The love that the people had suppressed for many days finally broke out......
"Let's go, go up and hack these things to death......"
"I want to avenge my third brother's daughter-in-law's cousin's sister's child's second uncle!"
“……”
Anyway, this is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, and the people have marched to the city wall one after another, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the city on the city wall seem to have known that this will happen.
They were already waiting for these people under the city walls, and after that, it was time to give them a semicolon team, make a good group, and then arrange what they needed to do.
Most of them were transporting things, and as expected, they were all carrying arrows and rocks.
Nan Xun is naturally among these people, as for why, it started from an hour ago.
At that time, Yan Shao was already disappointed with the fact that the general had returned, and ******** thinking about how to solve the current crisis, just at this time, the notice was posted.
He said: "This is exactly what I want to pay attention to, haha, His Majesty Mingzong is finally willing to give an edict, let's go, let's go and see what the situation is." ”
Generally speaking, soldiers who are not defending the city are not allowed to approach the battlefield, because no one knows whether you are here to help or to help.
Therefore, Yan Shao actually wanted to go to the city wall to see it for a long time, but it was regarded as a fine work, so he never went, and now that Mingzong finally made an order, he planned to climb the Dingding Gate in the bright light and look at the battlefield from afar.
In fact, Nan Xun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed very good, the heroic breath came from the inside, and then he went with him, of course, these two masters are here, can other people not come.
So, this special squad is so in the city, under the leadership of Yan Shao, when they boarded the Dingding Gate to look at the battlefield, Nan Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, a success of ten thousand bones withered, this is not wrong at all, the ground outside the Dingding Gate, scattered with all kinds of things left by the soldiers after their deaths.
More is the blood red in the sky, in the afterglow of the sunset, it looks particularly dazzling, thousands of miles of fertile soil seems to be blooming countless flowers on the other side, you are praying for the dead soldiers to reincarnate in the past.
In the afternoon, it was the time for Mingjin to collect his troops, which was the rule of the battlefield, and it was for people to bring back their dead soldiers and not let the loyal souls bury their bones in the wilderness.
The battlefield is outside, it is the camp of the Northwest Army, Nanxun looks from afar, and a military flag with the word Northwest written on it is waving in the wind.
Yan said: "It's not good, there are so many people in the Northwest Army, and there are too few people on our side." ”
"Aren't there people!"
"It's everyone's help, but the price is too great, three or five to change the opposite Northwest Army for one, this is more than worth the loss, as long as the city is not broken, no one will have this kind of crowd tactics."
"Then Mingzong will have no soldiers available!?"
"Who knows, perhaps, there are still soldiers, but I am reluctant to take it out, and I plan to keep it to see if the eldest prince has any back-ups!"
"It's been more than half a month, if the eldest prince has any back, it should have been revealed a long time ago, and it won't be dragged on like this, after all, a quick battle is what he wants."
"Not necessarily, I always feel that something is wrong!" (To be continued.) )
