In the slightly dark room, Duan Qilin's eyes were deep and constantly changing.

This is enough to show that he is struggling violently inside.

Based on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides, it is difficult for the 40,000 forbidden troops to stop the more than 20,000 forbidden troops of the Song State by Liu Zhuwen and others.

In other words, staying in the Imperial City is a risky move in the first place. Even he, Duan Qilin, might stay here forever, and he didn't even have a chance to make a comeback.

And to block the Song army......

The Dali forbidden army is afraid that it will inevitably end up being defeated.

"Alas......"

After all, Duan Qilin's eyes dimmed and he sighed softly.

Even if he is an unborn genius in the two palaces of the Guigu Academy Palace and the Broken Army Academy Palace, he feels a little powerless at the moment.

Because even if he was lucky enough to destroy these Song troops led by Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and others, his imperial city troops would inevitably be empty. When the time comes, it will not even be possible to suppress those tribes.

And who would dare to assert that those tribes would not take advantage of the fire?

Their Duan clan has dominated Dali for so long, and those tribal leaders are also ready to move early, wanting to try the taste of this throne.

Duan Qilin stood up and walked out of the room.

On this night, he ordered the commander of the forbidden army in the imperial city to prepare to lead the army to Shuzhong.

And then the night passed.

Only on the morning of the next day, Duan Qilin led many civil and military officials and their families in the imperial city to leave the imperial city of Dali and go to Chengdu Mansion in the northeast.

The crowd flocked to each other.

If you add the people who followed the army, I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 people.

The Duan clan has been in Dali for many years, and naturally there is still some prestige in the imperial city. Many people were willing to follow them away.

In every dynasty, there is no shortage of such people. Unless it's the kind that makes people angry.

Duan Qilin and his mother sat in the dragon bowl, and there were countless forbidden guards beside them. From time to time, he looked back at the palace.

If it weren't for the last resort, he was really reluctant to give up Dali like this.

"Alas......"

The Empress Dowager Dali sighed faintly beside her and said: "This palace has lived in the palace for more than 20 years, and I never thought that I would have to leave one day. ”

Duan Qilin showed a slight look of guilt beside him, "The child is incompetent, please forgive your mother." When he arrives in Shuzhong, the child will build a palace for his mother, and after some time, the child will recapture Dali from the Song Kingdom! Let the mother return to live in this Dali palace. ”

The Queen Mother smiled softly and touched Duan Qilin's face, "None of this is important. This palace only needs you to be safe, me and your father, you are the one who loses the most money in this life. ”

Duan Qilin's eyes were red.

This is probably the softest place in his heart.

He may not care about the life or death of the soldiers, let alone the lives of the soldiers of the rest of the country. Even, even the people in the Guigu Academy Palace and the Broken Army Academy Palace are just pawns to him.

And only his deceased father Duan Xingzhi and his mother who are close in front of him are the people he cares about the most.

He's been resentful before.

But now as the Emperor of Dali, he also understands Duan Xingzhi's helplessness at the beginning. Sending his parents and children to Shuzhong to wander, Duan Xingzhi and the Empress Dowager Dali suffered endless pain in their hearts.

Duan Qilin didn't speak again, but said to himself in his heart: "In my life, I will definitely take the Song Kingdom!" ”

The crowd that stretched so far away that they couldn't even see the end finally left the Imperial City of Dali, and they were getting farther and farther away from the Imperial City.

The originally extremely majestic imperial city, when viewed from a distance, is not so shocking.

Countless soldiers and people in the crowd lingered.

If there is nothing to do, who wants to leave their homeland?

For the people of this era, the homeland is the root. Leaving his hometown, no matter how much wealth and great achievements he has, he can only be rootless.

……

Ezhou, Longxing and Jianning were still in a situation of confrontation between the two armies, and although the Yuan commander Baharal and Zhenjin and others learned of the defeat of Jiangling and Fuzhou, they did not lead the army to retreat. They are obviously waiting, waiting for the news of a complete peace between the two Koreas. If this matter is not settled, the competition between the two dynasties will not really be over.

Only outside Longxing Mansion, after Zhenjin handed over the command to the deputy marshal of the army, he led more than ten worshippers in the army to quietly leave the camp.

He received a letter from the imperial city and learned that Kublai Khan was sick in bed, and he really didn't dare to delay at all.

Let's not talk about whether this has anything to do with filial piety. But if the news of Kublai Khan's illness spreads, and he, the crown prince, is far away on the frontier, it will make the undercurrent in the imperial city surge.

After all, although he is the crown prince, there are still too many people in the imperial city eyeing the supreme throne.

You know, Kublai Khan's sons alone are ten.

Except for the eldest son Duo'er, who only died early, the remaining eight brothers, whether they have the strength or not, may have the idea of snatching him as the real golden prince.

As the real gold of the crown prince, he naturally has to be cautious.

As soon as he left the camp, he led the crowd to worship directly bypassing Panyang Lake at a very fast speed, heading towards the territory of Jiangnan East Road.

He only needed to go directly to Lin'an Mansion, the capital of the original Great Song Dynasty, and he could board the ship directly from Lin'an Mansion to the coastal area of Yuan Daxing Mansion. At that time, it will not take long to get to the central capital.

This is the most time-saving and labor-saving method, and at the same time, it is also the safest method.

Thinking that in the vast sea, even if some people get the news that they want to assassinate his real gold, it will be difficult to hit his ship.

Soon it was late in the evening.

Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen, and Miao Cheng led the army to finally arrive outside the county seat of Deshicheng County.

Although the sun was already setting, less than half of the soldiers began to camp outside the city. The rest of the soldiers were directly pressed towards the county seat of Shicheng County.

And these soldiers who pressed to the front of the city were all holding the dragon gun in their hands.

The three special forces of Tianwei Shenlei, Tianji Tiger, and Tianxian Shending were arranged in front of the formation.

In front of them, there were more than 300 grenadiers facing the eastern wall of Shicheng County. When they came to attack the Song Dynasty, Liu Zhuwen and others did not even carry artillery vehicles in the army.

Because I don't think it's necessary.

The artillery cart was too large to be transported.

In addition to the grenadiers, there are still more than 300 hot air balloons in the air.

The momentum of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army is really like a black cloud crushing the city.

All the officers and soldiers in the army are eyeing this Shicheng County, and the murderous spirit stirs up the storm.

At the head of the city, the county keeper of Shicheng County stood in the middle of the city. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the black-pressed Great Song Forbidden Army, and there were not many waves in his eyes.

Only around him, there were very few defenders of Shicheng County on the city wall.

Duan Qilin waved hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Song Dynasty, which really made the country very empty.

Maybe others don't know, but Bai Zhengxin, who is the county guard of Shicheng County, is naturally very clear. At this time, there were less than two thousand defenders in Shicheng County.

Originally, there were actually 2,000, but I heard that the Song army's more than 20,000 troops were pressed, and many soldiers had already left the army without authorization.

How could this person be able to stop the Great Song Forbidden Army?

It's just that as Liu Zhuwen said, he Bai Zhengxin is an old minister of Dali. Over the years, he has been gradually promoted from an ordinary person to the county guard of Shicheng County by Duan Xingzhi, bearing too much imperial grace.

This kind of imperial grace made Debai Zhengxin willing to die for the Duan family of Dali.

At his age, many things are downplayed, including life. Even if he doesn't die now, he may not live for many years.

Rather than continue to live for a long time, it is better to repay Duan Xingzhi with his life. At least in the future, if people in the world talk about him Bai Zhengxin, they will never say that he is a cowardly person.

"Soldiers!"

The elderly Bai Zhengxin slowly drew the sword at his waist and shouted to the defenders of Shicheng County around him: "Die for the country!" ”

"Die for the country!"

"Die for the country!"

Such voices sounded in the army like a tide.

Over the years in Shicheng County, Bai Zhengxin's political achievements have been quite remarkable, and he still has great prestige in Shicheng County.

At this time, in addition to more than 1,000 defenders on the city, there were even many people standing on the city.

And such a shout was transmitted to the military formation of the Song army outside the city.

Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei were looking at the city with binoculars, and the scene of the old Bai Zhengxin drawing his sword also fell in their eyes.

Liu Zhuwen sighed slowly and said, "Bai Zhengxin is really a loyal minister. It's a pity that he was born in this Dali ......"

He undoubtedly has some admiration for Bai Zhengxin.

It's a pity, but I also know in my heart that it is almost impossible to recruit Bai Zhengxin.
