readx;?“ Poof" There was a muffled sound, Mi You stabbed into the body leaning on the city wall, stabbed the Han army Baihu who was not yet dead, and then kicked off the city, looked left and right, in addition to a few places in the distance where the battle was contested, most of the city walls were in the hands of the side, the large group of enemy troops under the city was retreating like a tide, and the defenders still had the strength to cast arrows at the head, in order to finally kill the enemy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Only here did he have time to take care of himself, the armor on his left shoulder had been scattered, and a large hole had been cracked on the leather armor, which was caused by the swing of a long knife, if he hadn't dodged quickly and didn't let this knife be implemented, even if the armor was fine, most of this arm would have to leave his body, Rao was so, his left arm was already a little painful, especially when swinging the knife, no wonder he always felt inconvenient.

He tore off the crumbling shoulder armor with his backhand, threw it to the ground at will, handed the knife in his left hand to his right hand, and handed it to his own soldiers, only to find that they had little left, and the head of his own soldiers, a tall Jiangxi man, fell in today's siege battle, but with the current manpower, it was not even possible to carry their bodies down and bury them, and these people who could still stand behind the city wall, in addition to sorting out the blades at hand a little and collecting some usable arrows, You can only rest your head behind the battlement for a while, and then wait for the next wave of enemy attacks.

"Get some water, find a stone to grind, and go to the south gate to have a look."

So saying, he walked down the tower, mounted his horse, and headed in the direction of the south gate, without a single follower.

Tanzhou City, has been holding out for a month and a half, in the city, in addition to the five thousand Jiangxi soldiers he brought, the more than 1,000 Hengzhou soldiers brought by Yin Gu, nearly three thousand young people volunteered to stay in the city, and even the people are not left, the whole city is empty, and a wild cat runs from time to time, like a dead place.

However, it was these more than 8,000 people who blocked the enemy for a month and a half, from the more than 40,000 people under Li Ting and Zhang Hongfan at the beginning, to the more than 100,000 reinforcements led by Ali Hague himself, they did not shake them in the slightest, but Mi You's heart knew very well that they were about to run out, and now they could barely stand on the city wall, and this number was decreasing rapidly every day.

Under the south gate, the corpses of the dead were placed on both sides of the street, all of them were guards, for the enemy, and the city was densely piled up, if it wasn't for the cold weather, it would have been smelly, and he might be one of them in the next moment? Miyo shook his head, dismounted at the bottom of the castle tower, and hurried up to the top of the castle.

“...... The platform on the left is guarded by a few people, and there are no stone bullets available on the left and right, so dismantle the trebuchet, you go to the treasury with them to find out if there is a curtain, if not, the white cloth will also become, and if the treasury is not, go to various people's houses to find it, maybe there is anything else that can be used, and everything can be moved, cough cough. ”

Mi You slowed down, as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was Yin Gu's voice, a thick Jingnan accent, even if he spoke official to him, he wouldn't understand it if he was too fast, this civil official who took the initiative to stay and guard the city not only helped him share half of the city's guards, but also took the initiative to take on all the logistics affairs, so that he could save a lot.

"Lao Yin, your body is ......" I thought it was just an occasional cold, but I didn't expect that as soon as he walked into the building, he saw that the latter's face was yellow, and his waist was wrapped around a white cloth, and he still couldn't stop the bright red blood stains, and Miyou's heart suddenly sank.

"Don't get in the way, Midutong, quick, sit." Yin Gu smiled at him, but he looked a little awkward because of the pain.

The situation was even more serious than he had imagined, and it was obvious that the other party could no longer stand up, otherwise he would never sit there without moving.

"How's the bandage? What the doctor said. “

Mi You held him up, and then he noticed the pool of bright red liquid under his feet, which looked shocking, his body was not strong in the first place, it was as light as if there was no weight, he was not a doctor, but he knew very well that if there was no good medical condition, I was afraid that it would not last long.

"I've been hit with a tartar, it's not deep, it's still standing, the doctor has already seen it, it's okay." Yin Gu shook his head, not intending to talk to him on this topic.

"You're just hard-mouthed." Mi You sat down as he said and didn't say anything more, knowing that from the moment they closed the gates, this result would be sooner or later, and he admired the other party's open-mindedness, because all this had nothing to do with it.

Speaking of which, the two have only known each other for such a short month and a half, but they have a kind of friendship that entrusts life and death, and men are like this, if they look at each other, they have nothing to do with their identity, and they have nothing to do with their official rank, and they can live and die together explains everything.

Faced with this literati who looked down on life and death, Mi You didn't know what to say for a while.

"But what's the matter?" In the end, it was the other party who opened his mouth first.

"According to your estimate, did they ever leave Jinghu?" What Yin Gu didn't expect was that what the other party said was not about defending the city.

"It's almost the same, if you move fast, this child should be close to the left side of Jingjiang Mansion." Yin Gu thought about it for a while, nodded affirmatively, and then suddenly thought of something: "Mi Dutong, what are you asking for?" ”

Miyou sighed, turned his head, and through the building, there were countless figures standing on the castle tower, holding bows, arrows, knives and guns, guarding the back of the city.

"What I want to say is that to this day, we have all done our best, I thought ......" He didn't say what it was, but stood up: "Forget it, forgive you and won't be willing, don't say it, you rest, Tartar is coming up, so-and-so is gone." ”

Before he could turn around, his arm was grabbed: "Old Mi, I know what you mean, just ask, what about yourself?" ”

"A certain is a minister, where the duty lies."

"I am a native of Tanzhou, and it is my duty to shirk." Yin Gu pulled out a smile and slanted it, but it made his heart warm.

"Take care!"

Mi You solemnly hugged his fist at him, turned around and walked out of the building, at this moment, a long horn sounded outside the city, and the new offensive of the Yuan people began again, Yin Gu saw his back disappear, and waved his hand to call a few of his subordinates: "Carry this official out." ”

Outside the city of Tanzhou, the camp of the Yuan people is spread all along the coast of Xiangshui, and from a high place, the small city is like an island in the sea, and there is a danger of being submerged at any time.

Ali Hague's big tent was set up on a hillside outside the east gate, he watched quietly from a distance for a while, and knew that this wave of offensive was in vain, the tenacity of the Song people was really beyond his expectations, not only the current Tanzhou City, even the Shashi City, which only had thousands of people, blocked him for several days, and in the last breath, he directly burned the entire city cleanly, which frightened the handsome man of Jiangling Mansion, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone to stick to it like this, and how many people would not be enough to toss.

The hearts of the people, only by winning the hearts of the people, can they finally rule such a vast area, just like what was done in the Northland, the key to this is the squire, they are the only ones worth fighting for, whether it is the slaughter of the city or the leniency, it is to win the hearts of these people.

But the problem is that only some people will have a heart, under the city of Tanzhou, there are not many people, and the Song people run so cleanly, and according to the news from his scouts, the entire territory of Tanzhou, all the way to the neighboring Hengzhou, is the same, and even the state city of Hengzhou is open, and there is no shadow of a guard.

So the question is, where did these people go? You know, there are not hundreds of people, but tens of millions of people, Ali Hague does not believe at all, there will be people who can abandon their homes and land, starve to death, and not be the people under the rule of Dayuan!

In addition to the defenders, there are not many people in Tanzhou City, which also makes the value of this city insignificant, but he still wants to take it, not only to take it, but also to use this city to warn the world that if he is an enemy of the Yuan people, what will happen if he refuses to return.

It is not acceptable to blindly show grace.

At this moment, in addition to a group of generals and colonels under his command, there is also a group of men dressed as ordinary people, most of them are middle-aged or above, and there are also many elderly people, these people are all squires who have not followed Liu Yu to the south, they have families and businesses, they are the owners of those acres of land outside the city, and in fact, they are also the owners of Tanzhou City, everyone is trembling at this moment, for fear of angering these strange rulers.

"You just said, how many people are there in the city? Less than ten thousand, isn't it? Ali Hague suddenly asked, not to his men, but to these squires, but almost all of them lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe, where else would they notice.

It wasn't until they were kicked by a sergeant that the leaders raised their heads, and they speculated about each other's intentions while giving a deliberate answer.

"Back to Dashuai, there were originally only 5,000 people, all of whom came from Jiangxi on the adjacent road, and then I don't know why, that Yin Gu brought more than 1,000 people from Hengzhou, and requisitioned 3,000 young men in the city, that's so much, against the handsome male tiger division, it is naturally a mantis arm as a car, and it is vulnerable."

"The mantis arm is a car, vulnerable?" Ali Hague read it twice in his mouth and shook his head: "Then do you know how long they have been in the way?" How many men and horses Ben Shuai lost under this city. ”

"This ...... The little ones really don't know. "Just kidding, you can't say it if you know, these people are not stupid.

"It's been almost two months, not counting the injured, Ben Shuai has lost more than 10,000 people, that Mi He and Yin What, there are still some capable, who said that there is no one in the Southern Dynasty?"

No one dared to answer this, and Ali Hague didn't expect them to say anything, if everyone was like these people, this southern expedition would not be interesting, but if they were all like this Tanzhou City? It's not much fun, his favorite is to defeat the Song people's naval army on the river, and completely annihilate the Song people's foot soldiers outside Jiangling Mansion, that is the real battle.

According to his estimates, at least half of the dead and wounded in the city were killed, and there were only 4,000 people left. He was a little unsure whether to continue the attack or send people to persuade him to surrender, because if it dragged on for one more day, the people would run farther, and without people, what was the use of the bare land, and there would be no horses to run and no grazing.

"Has Nogi Tier's guy returned?"

One of his men stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, and Ali Hague's face was furious, and immediately disappeared again, and only those who were very far apart could find that the anger was only hidden by him, and it was all lost in those eyes.

Immediately afterward, he led the people out of here, and without even saying a word of explanation, only a group of generals and squires stood in confusion as they looked at each other.

The big tent was not far away, and when he came to the door of the tent, a tall and arm-long Mongolian man was standing at the door, covered in blood, but his face was indifferent.

"Come in." Ali Hague walked past him and whispered, and the big man followed him into the tent, his face still unchanged.

"You...... What did Ben Shuai say, let you go and hire someone, what did you do. Seeing his expression, Ali Hague became even more angry.

"That old thing doesn't know each other, and he said, 'The academy is heavy, and I am not allowed to wait to enter.'" , and let people stop it, our dignified cowardly Xue, the Great Khan's personal guards, they dare to be so rude, don't give a lesson, how to explain to the Great Khan? ”

The other party's words blocked him almost in his chest, Ali Hague is now not only angry, but also regretful, he should not have sent this hun man to go, now it is good, there is more than enough success and failure, but what can he say? Could it be that the Great Khan's personal soldiers could be blocked out of the door by a Nanban at will?

"Just do it, what's the aftermath?" If he can't do it, he can only admit it, and now he can only hope that things will be cleaner.

"Don't worry, it's not the first time this kind of thing has happened."

The big man smacked his lips indifferently, his face was still unfinished, Ali Hague shook his head, and threw down a sentence: "Go wash and change your clothes." He walked out quickly, he didn't want to stay with this guy for a moment.

Yuelu Mountain, located outside Tanzhou City, is the highest boundary in this area, and the spies who are responsible for the investigation of Tanzhou's left news are lying in ambush in the dangerous places on the mountain, most of them are from Shi Zhong's subordinates, and they have been here for more than two months.

Among the mountains and rocks on the top of the peak, Shi Zhong poked his head out from a high place, the clairvoyant mirror in his hand was firmly attached to his eyes, and he had a panoramic view of the city in the distance.

The Yuanren's military formation was in full swing to prepare, seeing several thousand troops slowly coming out, a new offensive was about to begin, and at this time, the retreating foot soldiers had not completely returned to the rear of the formation, and their urgency could be imagined.

Just as the horn sounded again, one of his men ran up from below, and the sound of hurried footsteps made him turn his head in surprise, and at once he saw that the upper of the man's feet was visibly stained with blood.

"But you've met the enemy?" He didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly got up from among the stones and asked in a deep voice.

This subordinate went down to fetch water and food, and they had to pass through several temples in the mountains, as well as a academy, and only these places were still inhabited, which might cause the Tartars to peep, and if they really couldn't hide their hiding, they had to move immediately, they were spies, not spearheads.

"No...... Be. The subordinates ran in a hurry, gasping for several times before they slowly adjusted their breath, but the words that came out surprised everyone.

"The academy under the mountain was slaughtered by the Tartars, and everyone died, even Ouyang Shanchang and his family."

"A few of you, go with so-and-so, and the others are ready to evacuate at any time." The academy is on the mountainside, which is not far from the top of the mountain, Shi Zhong immediately decided, no matter what, he must go and see it with his own eyes, after all, those old masters in the academy, as well as the old mountain chief Ouyang, are extremely tolerant of them.

Before the great retreat, the students and most of the masters in the academy followed Jiang Cai's cavalry to Guangxi, only Ouyang Shanchang and a few masters left, they thought that the Yuan people might not attack the academy, after all, nominally, the enemy chief who was far away in Dadu was known as the most respected "Confucianism", and often put on a posture of thirst for talent, how could he do such a self-destructive thing in Shilin?

Shi Zhong took a few of his subordinates and walked quietly along the mountain road, bypassing all the mountain people, and slowly sneaked to the vicinity of the academy, until he was sure that there was no trace of the Yuan people, and only then did he leave a person to stare outside, and he and his three subordinates slipped in along the open courtyard gate.

As soon as they entered the gate, they were stunned by what they saw, from behind the gate to the front of the school, there was a small field, which was usually cleaned by people, but at this time, there were many corpses lying on the ground, blood flowed all over the steps, and the outermost one was an old man with a kind face, it was the head of this academy, Mr. Ouyang!

"Old Mountain Chief, Old Mountain Chief!" With a hint of luck, Shi Zhong picked up his head, but the skin at the tentacles had become cold, and there was no snort, he closed the old man's dead eyes, and checked the others, all of whom were masters who stayed behind, and a few were servants in the courtyard, all of whom were killed without exception.

"Shoot ruthlessly, kill with a knife, the killer must be the elite of the army, hurry up and take a look at the back." After coming to this conclusion, Shi Zhong no longer had any luck in his heart, and they would never leave a living mouth and let themselves go for themselves.

There are not many buildings in the academy, and several schools are empty because there are no students, beyond these schools, there are the residences of some ladies, including the family of Ouyang Shanchang, but as soon as they stepped into that compound, their faces couldn't help but change color, their muscles twitched in an uncontrollable rhythm, and the flames of anger seemed to erupt from their eyes, dyeing their eyes red!

There are corpses everywhere, and most of these corpses are women and children, and there are even children who are not satisfied with their age! Rao was accustomed to seeing the tragic scene on the battlefield, they were still so angry by this scene that they couldn't speak, several people divided into several roads, and examined the corpses one by one, hoping to find a lucky person who escaped by luck, but until they reached the door of the house, they were extremely disappointed.

"Ahh When several subordinates saw the situation in the room, they all lowered their heads and retreated, Shi Zhong immediately understood what was happening inside, these beasts would never let go of any woman.

"Gather them all in, stunned, and don't do anything."

This was the only thing they could do, and a few of them carried all the corpses into the house, even the ones in front of the mountain gate. Shi Zhong tore off the bedspread and covered them one by one for the sisters who were not covered, and just as he was covering the innermost inner room in the middle, the eyes of the woman on the bed suddenly blinked, and a big tear flowed out of the corner of her eye.

She's not dead yet! Shi Zhong hurriedly took his hand and probed, there was indeed a faint breath, he unfolded a brocade quilt, wrapped the person in this way, grabbed some clothes from the wardrobe in the room, wrapped them into a large package, and carried the person out of the house with the quilt.

"Burn it, remember today, we will definitely avenge them, and tell all the brothers that we will retreat down the mountain."

The raging fire ignited in the mountains, burning the famous university at home and abroad to ashes, without the protection of the state, everything can only be slaughtered by others, whether it is ordinary people or famous teachers and Confucians, there will be no exceptions.
