Chapter 772: Abandon the city and flee

Bang, the teacup hit the ground and shattered.

Rao is Fang La has gone through all kinds of wind and rain, and he has already been mentally prepared, but after learning the news that Wulongling was easily broken by the Song army, he still panicked, shook his hand and dropped the celadon tea bowl that he was used to, and the person stood there in a daze, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Wulongling, where he thought that Xiongguan, which could withstand the strong attack of a million troops and make his foundation last for at least a few more years, was actually broken by the Song army in less than ten days? This is something he can't believe no matter what, even if it is Fang Fei, who he trusts the most, who came to report it. At this time, the only thing he could do was to keep muttering in a low voice: "How is this possible, how is this possible......"

Fang Fei's heart was also full of horror, but he still suppressed his emotions and said urgently: "Your Majesty, you must make plans as soon as possible." The army in front and the soldiers in this Muzhou city are all in disarray, once the Song army is killed, it will be difficult to hold it, we must leave this place and flee to the rear......"

"Run? Where else can we escape? After gently asking such a sentence, Fang La's emotions finally broke out completely: "We still have Huzhou after the fall of Suzhou, and we have Hangzhou without Huzhou...... Even if Hangzhou is lost, you also tell me that there is still Wulongling that can block the offensive of the Song army! But now, no, even the last barrier has been broken by the Song army, Muzhou is in danger, and without all this, where can I escape? Oolong Ridge, isn't Oolong Ridge called a natural danger by you, how did it fall in a short period of time, what is going on? ”

Fang Fei's body also shook suddenly, and then he said bitterly: "According to the reports of the soldiers who fled back, this time the Song army used demon methods...... They were able to resist the wind, crossed hundreds of feet of Wulongling mountains from the sky, and killed behind our army. During this period, the soldiers guarding the pass had completely collapsed, and the main force of the Song army took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, so the gate city was suddenly broken and the whole army collapsed......"

"How is this possible! Why did he, Song Jun, suddenly know the demon law, if they really know the demon law, it would take so much time to fight down the cities before? This must be someone who betrayed me in fear of death, and broke my Oolong Ridge by cooperating with the Song army, isn't it? Yes, it's Fang Bainian, it's because he's greedy for life and afraid of death, so he switched on and off early in the morning to surrender, and then deceives me with such nonsense, isn't it? There is no demon law, where is the demon law in this world? I don't know what the purpose is, Fang La suddenly loudly denied Fang Fei's explanation, almost distorted his face, grabbed the other party's arm and asked pleadingly.

Fang Fei was silent for a while, in fact, when he received this bad news, he couldn't believe such a ridiculous statement. Maybe the fools and fools of the people can easily believe those gods and ghosts, but he never believes in such things, and he doesn't think that he can fly against the wind and break the danger of Wulongling by relying on any demon law.

But the facts are in front of him, and it is difficult for him to explain, the only thing he can say is this: "Your Majesty, the hundred-year-old brother has died in battle on the Wulong Ridge, he is loyal to the Wu State and His Majesty...... And now is not the time to pursue these anymore, let's leave Muzhou quickly, go to Qingxi, and go to help Yuandong...... There are many lofty mountains and dangerous mountains, and the terrain is the most complicated, as long as we hide in them, we are not afraid that the Song army will easily find us. As long as we survive, we have a chance to make a comeback! ”

"Giggle......" A strange laugh came from Fang La's mouth, and his face was full of despair: "Return to Qingxi and help Yuandong?" Do you think we still have a chance to turn over......" He said, staring at each other, as if crying and laughing: "It's impossible, we are already a dead end, so why run to our hometown again and kill all the people in our hometown?" ”

He Fangla is the person who came out of Bangyuan Cave in Qingxi County, Muzhou, and his family background came from there when he first started the incident. Just as the desperate overlord of Western Chu on the edge of the Wujiang River refused to return to Jiangdong alone, he Fangla really had no shame to go back to see the villagers and elders there.

When Fang Fei heard this, the whole person was even more anxious, and he knelt down immediately, and said while kowtowing: "Your Majesty, although we have been defeated, we have not yet reached the end of the road, and you can't just give up." Otherwise, wouldn't those soldiers who were born and died for us and died without regret all give their lives in vain? Ten Buddhas, Ten Thousand Springs, One Hundred Years...... None of them want Your Majesty to accept your fate, even at this time, our courtiers still hope that Your Majesty can save his life and leave hope for my Wu Kingdom...... The monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom have no way, and they have made the people of the world suffer, and my Wu State is the one who saves the people and saves the time, even if he encounters great difficulties, he should grit his teeth and persevere. Although he Sun Tu has the upper hand for a while, as long as he can't kill us, I believe there will be a chance to turn the tables. Your Majesty......"

After just one words, his forehead was cracked and his face was covered with blood, but his kowtowing action did not stop, and he still kowtowed frantically: "Your Majesty, we were able to get up from the ridge a few years ago, as long as we are given the opportunity, I believe that we will be able to rise again one day, and please think twice......

This sentence of persuasion was as straight as a cuckoo crying blood, and the words were like a hammer, constantly bombarding Fang La's heart, which was already desperate and numb, and the expression on his face finally changed slightly. He thought of everything in the past, from his ancestor's family business was almost destroyed by those corrupt officials, to acting in anger, to gaining the support of many brothers, and slowly opening up a foundation and laying down one city after another......

All this is like yesterday for Fang La, thinking of those brothers and subordinates who worked hard for the Wu State, thinking of the conscientious and conscientious work of virtuous ministers like Fang Fei, and all the things that rushed to the front, he was not only emotional, but also unconvinced. He was not convinced, why did the country he had worked so hard to build collapse in a short period of time, he was not convinced by a Sun Tu, he was able to sweep through the south of the Yangtze River with only tens of thousands of soldiers, and drove himself to such a Jedi, he was even more dissatisfied that he was going to fall into the hands of such a court eagle dog, and was finally killed......

Originally disheartened, the fire finally ignited again in his lifeless eyes, he couldn't live up to Fang Fei's hard work, and he couldn't live up to the hearts of those brothers who died in front. Fang La's fists suddenly clenched, and after taking a deep breath, his eyes finally became firm: "Gather everyone, let's withdraw from Muzhou, retreat to Qingxi, and retreat to the mountains we are most familiar with, so that the officials and soldiers will never find us again." In the future, when we have the opportunity, we will kill it again. "Obey the order!" Hearing this, Fang Fei finally relieved his strength, and after kowtowing again, he only felt that his head was dizzy, and the person was about to fall to the ground. The constant kowtowing and begging under the excitement just now has made him hurt a lot, and coupled with the huge pressure these days, he finally can't bear it.

Fortunately, he was supported by Fang La: "From today on, you and I will still be called brothers, and any emperor and prime minister have become a thing of the past." When we get back, we're still ......."

Although he no longer calls himself a king, he no longer has the fear and frustration he had before, and has turned back into the big hero who can quickly raise tens of thousands of rebels in Jiangnan and annex half of Jiangnan in a few years.

"Okay, fourth brother, let's prepare to set off, and while the Song army has not yet arrived, we will quickly leave this place." With the support of the other party, Fang Fei struggled to get up, and after wiping the blood from his cheeks, he cheered up again and hurriedly ran out.

In just half a day, the entire Muzhou was in an unprecedented panic. Hundreds of people, soldiers began to run to deliver news, and some began to pack their luggage. Here, Fang La does have a strong appeal, and if he conveys only one sentence, he will respond like a cloud.

Although many people were still full of incomprehension about this, they felt that Muzhou City could actually be defended, at least for a period of time, but Fang La's determination this time was extremely fast, and he had no intention of discussing with them at all, and he was forced to leave with the army. Because he knew very well that once the Song army, which had already taken so many cities and even Wulongling was easily breached, really came to Muzhou, I was afraid that the defenders here would collapse overnight, and they would not be able to leave if they wanted to.

So one day in late March, Fang La abandoned his last city and retreated to Qingxi with his army and a considerable part of the people, avoiding the mountains where the terrain was more complicated and unfavorable to the Song army. In fact, even he himself never imagined that the people here would live and die with each other so much, and they would not hesitate to give up all their family property and flee to the mountains with him.

Of course he won't know, it's not because of how good he is and how much he has won the hearts of the people, but because compared with him, the original officials of the Great Song Dynasty were even more unpopular with the people, and the people were even more worried that they would be held accountable afterwards. So in their opinion, there is still a chance of life to follow Fang La away, but staying in this Muzhou City is really a dead end.

There were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people, who really couldn't go too far, and didn't want to become a burden to others, so they stayed nervously, waiting for the Song army to kill, and then vented their anger.

On March 23, the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, shortly after the Song army broke through the Wulong Ridge, the last city of Wu was defeated, and the thief leader Fang La and the rest of the people fled into Qingxi again and entered the mountains, and all the state capitals and cities had been recaptured by the Song army.

After another three days, Sun Tu finally led the army to Muzhou City, and after seeing such an empty city standing there, without the slightest defensive strength, and it was impossible to have an imaginary offensive and defensive battle, Sun Tu couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

He knew that the Jiangnan Rebellion was about to be quelled, and now only the last bit of hand was left to clean up.
