"Report to the general, Zhang Fangyi, the guard of the Liumen (North Gate), led his troops to open the city gate and surrender to the thieves, the Liumen has been lost, please decide as soon as possible." The messenger bowed his head deeply and said.

"Damn, damn thing. Another rebel and thief. Shang Jiabao waved his fist viciously and said, wishing that he could immediately kill the guards who surrendered.

The news of the two messengers overwhelmed the full guards at the head of the city, and hurriedly asked, "General, what should we do?" ”

At this time, the sound of shouting and killing can be vaguely heard.

"If you lose the city, you will die. Surrender, the whole family will die. ”

After weighing it in his heart, Shang Jiabao shouted loudly: "All the soldiers of my Eight Banners on the city wall retreat to the inner city. ”

"Huh..."

The Manchurian Eight Banners of Nanjimen responded in unison.

"Now I can only hope to hold on to the inner city for a few more days, until the reinforcements are lifted." Shang Jiabao secretly said in his heart.

With Shang Jiabao's order, all the Qing troops on the city walls retreated like a tide to the inner city.

Guarding the outer city wall is really a helpless move on the part of Shang Jiabao, after all, the equipment of the outer city wall is far from being comparable to the inner city.

With the retreat of the full camp of the defending city, the outer city wall of the entire Jingzhou City was soon occupied by the bandit army.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and when the Qing soldiers retreated to the inner city, there was no one walking on the streets in the entire outer city. Even the beggars in the city hid in dilapidated houses to prevent being killed.

Those hooligans who thought they could take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune were soon cut down to the ground by the bandit army that followed the Qing army.

Like other big cities, Jingzhou City also has an inner city, and the inside is full of cities.

The inner city walls are slightly lower than the outer city, and there are only two exits from the inner city. As a guarantee for the city, the city of Weng was also set up in the city to strengthen the defense.

Jingzhou City, Yinbin Gate (East Gate)

"Report to the general. The thieves have filled the moat. The Qing soldiers who were observing from the city wall ran to Sun Xizheng, the guard of the Yinbin Gate, and reported loudly.

"Got it, keep watching." At this time, Sun Xizheng, who was hiding on the upper floor, waved his hand.

After the Qing soldiers answered, they quickly retreated.

"Shi Zuoling, it seems that today's war is indispensable." Sun Xizheng looked at him with a serious face, and defended this Yinbin Gate Eight Banners with him. said.

Indeed, it is time to repay the grace of God. Today is a good time for us to make a difference. "Tumen. Shi Dayi said awe-inspiringly, as if the thief never died.

Sun Xizheng looked at Tumen. The excitement of the time seems to have been infected by him.

"Boom..."

I saw Sun Xizheng pull out the matching sword on his waist, raise it, and shout loudly: "I am not a thief, and I vow to live and die with Jingzhou City." ”

Sun Xizheng's sudden move made Tumen. He panicked all of a sudden, thinking what he was going to do. However, I heard Sun Xizheng's shout. Tumen. I immediately understood that this was to be done for others to see.

"How can such a good thing be without me?" Tumen. I can't help but think about it. So, Tumen. Shi Ye pulled out his sword and raised it and shouted loudly:

"Swear to live and die with Jingzhou City."

At this time, the pro-soldiers around them know what to do no matter how stupid they are. They also raised their weapons one after another, and shouted loudly:

"Swear to live and die with Jingzhou City..."

The Qing soldiers on the city wall not far from them listened to the shouts here, and suddenly felt enthusiastic.

Several of them were wondering if they would shout a few times along with it, maybe they would get some benefit from the battle.

At this time

"Newspaper..."

"Newspaper..."

A sharp-beaked monkey gill, thin and wearing a set of wide and unfit Qing soldiers was shouting and running quickly to Sun Xizheng's place.

"Report ,...... Report to... Presentation... My lord. ”

Before the messenger had time to catch his breath, he immediately knelt in front of Sun Xizheng and hurriedly said.

"Monkey Yang, what's so urgent." Sun Xizheng asked at the familiar messenger.

"Huh... Report to the Lord. ”

"Whew!" This monkey Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Retribution... My lord. The Nanji Gate has been lost, so please make plans as soon as possible. Yang, the monkey who reported the news, quickly spit it out after taking a deep breath and said.

"What? Impossible, this Nanji Gate was guarded by General Shang's troops, how could it be lost so quickly. The first two anti-thieves attacked Nanjimen and were defeated by General Shang, did you lie about the military situation and disturb the morale of the army. "After listening to Monkey Yang's intelligence, Tumen. Shi hurriedly jumped up and scolded.

"No, sir. Borrow a hundred small dares, and the small ones dare not lie about the military situation. This Nanji Gate was indeed lost, not attacked by anti-thieves, but directly withdrawn by General Shang. "Monkey Yang listened to Tumen. After the accusation, he kowtowed like garlic and replied.

"Straight out? Will General Shang not defend the city? Who believes what you say, and says that you are not disturbing the morale of the army? "Tumen. There were a few accusations, and the tone was also unquestionable.

"Come on, drag this man who dares to lie about the military situation to be cut down." Tumen. commanded loudly.

"Whew..., the minion takes the order." Follow in Tumen. Two of the pro-soldiers around him immediately knelt on the ground and took the order.

"My lord, my lord, my lord, the little wrong! The little one really didn't lie about the military situation! The adults spare their lives, but the small ones really don't..."

Monkey Yang never thought that he would get such a result by desperately sending military information, and his body dragged by the two Eight Banners soldiers writhed and shouted desperately.

"Two soldiers, please wait a minute." At this time, Sun Xizheng, who was standing on the stairs watching the play, suddenly stopped him.

I saw Sun Xizheng naturally facing the map. Shi hugged his fist and gave a salute, and then said: "Lord Shi, I still have a little question I want to ask this monkey Yang, can you wait until I ask this monkey Yang before killing him?" ”

"What else can you ask him?" Tumen. Shi replied proudly and loudly, but when he saw Sun Xizheng looking at him, he lowered his tone a few times: "Since Lord Sun wants to ask, let's wait for Lord Sun to finish asking!" ”

"Whew, the minion takes orders!"

The two Eight Banner soldiers who were dragging the monkey Yang sent their hands away after receiving the order.

The monkey Yang who was released sat paralyzed on the ground, until he saw Sun Xizheng approaching, and then he panicked and crawled under Sun Xizheng's heels. Holding Sun Xizheng's heels, he cried loudly:

"Master Sun, please, save the little one, the little one really didn't lie about the military situation, even if he borrowed a thousand or ten thousand of the small ones, the little ones didn't dare to lie about the military situation! My lord..."

Sun Xizheng looked at the monkey Yang who was holding his thighs and his face was full of tears, so he gently bent down and touched his head with only one braid, and said softly:

"I'll intercede for you later, tell me first, what's going on!"
