The officialdom of Beiyan has always been known for its mediocrity and decay. If it is really more serious, then whether it is Wang Fang, Cai Xi, or even the royal Zhou family, they will not be able to find a clean body at all; Those real gentlemen were either driven to the deep mountains and old forests to become officials, or died in an inexplicable "accident".

It's just that at the beginning of the Qin Yan war, the Northern Yan side firmly held the initiative on the battlefield; Coupled with reputation problems such as the family and the country, the integrity of the courtiers, etc., there are not many officials who choose to wait and see.

But with the gradual change of the battle situation, the butt of the civil and military officials of Beiyan gradually tilted.

In fact, before Hangu Pass surrendered to the enemy, although the scene was not very good-looking, the Northern Yan side faintly occupied the upper hand of the situation; As long as Zhou Changan and Cai Ning can drag out the war until winter, then the Qin army, which can only win quickly, will inevitably collapse without attacking.

Judging from the perception of others, the territory of Beiyan was indeed encroached upon by the Qin army step by step; In addition, Chen Ziling plundered in Sanjin and Zhongzhou, which made the momentum lively; Those onlookers who don't know what to do naturally have their own little calculations in their hearts.

As a result, Hanguguan rebelled and Luojing City surrendered; And Bashu Zhu Yuntao, who had not avenged the revenge of killing his son, also pressed down his bets before the last gamble was closed......

Judging from the situation, Beiyan is indeed declining, and the general trend has gone......

Xu Li is not Cai Ning, and his heroic spirit and martial arts have long been cleaned up by silver. So he didn't plan to defend the Yu River crossing for Emperor Tianyou at all; He just had the idea of waiting for the price to sell, so as to sell his righteousness and integrity at the best price.

But he ignored the most important point: the goods he planned to sell were not Xu Li himself, but the impregnable Yuhe River crossing-Bishui Pass. The silver that can be used to strengthen the city wall has long been exchanged by him for a beautiful wife and concubine, a big house and a mansion! The fineness of the goods has completely failed to withstand the buyer's inspection......

Providence made people, and the three salvos of the Qin army just happened to hit the weak point of the city wall......

The abruptness of the change in the battlefield caught both sides off guard.

After Xu Li got out from under the table, he didn't bother to wipe the slimy sweat. He rubbed his eyes, looking at the only half of the bedroom in front of him, and the two concubines who were smashed into flesh by stone bullets, only to feel a cool air, rushing from the soles of his feet directly to the top of his head......

"Sir, sir! What's going on...... Didn't you say they couldn't get in...... Woohoo......"

The lady of the main house, who was already old and decrepit, flew up with a foul smell. As if she had committed a chicken claw madness, she waved her arms vigorously, carefully cultivated her nails, and repeatedly scratched Xu Li's sweaty skin; His mouth is still babbling nonsense, babbling nonsense that is useless and annoying......

And Xu Li, who was stunned, neither turned his head nor answered, and let his wife scratch a bloody mark on his body. He just stared at the stone bullet that had destroyed half of his room, and he didn't know what he was thinking......

Outside the ruins of Bishui Pass, the situation of Xiang Qing, the commander of the Qin army, is also very embarrassing.

For him, it was like going into the mountains to hunt a hare, only to run into a dead tiger; Happiness comes too suddenly, and it's also a sweet annoyance.

If you don't look at the broken bricks and stones blocking the way, the current Bishui Xiongguan has completely opened its arms to the Qin army. But now the soldiers who are following Xiang Qing are all civilian men and auxiliaries with extremely low combat effectiveness; And the main force of the Dangkou army is still halfway there. In such a short period of time, it is difficult to assemble a large number of elite soldiers; And he is a typical civilian official, and even horseback riding was just taught by Zhu Yuntao, how can he lead the army into the city and clear the remnants of the defenders of Bishui Pass?

"Dare to ask General Xiang what he hesitated to do, but he couldn't find a candidate to charge into battle?"

Xiang Qing turned his head and saw that one of the deputy generals in charge of the auxiliary team was looking at him with a smile.

"Yes, General Sha of the Pioneer Battalion, he has not yet arrived ......"

"It's a little thing, why do you need Shajiang Army to go out in person? The last general and his auxiliary brothers are willing to invite themselves to be the vanguard of the whole army, and vow to cut off the head of the self-selling and boastful old man and sacrifice it to General Xiang's horse with his own hands! ”

In fact, the reason for this incident is that Xiang Qing, who was born as a civilian official, is not familiar with military affairs. Indeed, every second-rate echelon auxiliary soldier is a "defective product" that does not meet the elite standard; But such a team may not be able to attack fortifications; But once a tailwind battle is fought, the destructive power will not necessarily be inferior to the elite of the main battle!

Now only three salvos have passed, and there is a wailing and crying in the direction of Bishui Pass; And on the walls that have not yet collapsed, even a longbowman and a sword and shield soldier cannot be seen. Such a battle situation is the dream moment of every auxiliary soldier, and it is said that it is a tailwind battle, and they are a little wronged by the siege equipment of the Tianji Workshop!

This is clearly the moment of harvest, and it depends on the present day!

So 2,000 auxiliaries, dressed in thin-skinned armor and armed with inferior weapons, quickly built ten pontoon bridges under the leadership of the adjutant general, who had volunteered to ask for help, and soon rushed through the outer ditch that was enough wide for one man.

As the saying goes, there is a soldier and a nest of bears; Wang Fang, who killed the monks and soldiers of Western Xinjiang in the first place, is indeed known for loving soldiers like sons; But Xu Li only learned how to win the hearts of the army, but he did not learn how to put Wang Fang freely.

The soldiers under him are all ruthless characters who are seven disobedient and eight are resentful, hating themselves for being born at the wrong time and useless; If you talk about private fighting and oppression of the people in the army, the attack is even darker than the other! But now that the enemy is attacking, this group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals didn't even fight a single face, so they scattered one after another......

When the Qin army's auxiliaries crossed the trench and stormed into the city; There were more blades and armor scattered on the ground than even broken bricks and tiles...

Not surprisingly, Xu Li, a veteran general from the Northwest Army, was finally killed in battle. He died in the position that he had guarded for decades - Bishui Pass; He died at the hands of four auxiliaries who tried to insult his wife, and died under the dismemberment of the corpse. However, until he died, he never understood a question:

What the hell are the siege machines in the hands of the enemy?

sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat; The tactics and tactics that the battlefield veteran Xu Li is familiar with have been decades old; And the traditional tactics of the monks and soldiers in Western Xinjiang have long disappeared on the battlefield of Huayu Continent......

Carving a boat for a sword, nothing more than that.

After cleaning up the rubble outside the south gate of Bishui Pass, Xiang Qing led the whole army into the city; And the deputy general who "personally beheaded" Xu Li's head also led his brothers to go out to collect large ferries and local boatmen who were familiar with the water potential of the Yu River.

Taking the Bishui Pass and crossing the Yu River in the north, the pillar of the Southern Heaven of the Northern Yan Dynasty is destined to be a magnificent ending.

At the same time, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding along the official road, just passing Shimen City, heading straight for Yanjing. The man in charge of driving the car was in his twenties and thirties; This person is emaciated, of medium stature, and has extremely mediocre facial features; Only a pair of eyes are shining, and they look very smart......

"Thirsty ......"

A hoarse and dry voice came from the carriage; And the "car boss" looked stunned when he heard this, and then grabbed the reins; Overjoyed, this man used great strength to pull out the horse pulling the cart and pulled it out:

"Brother! You're finally awake! I ......"

As soon as he said half a sentence, a woman's hurried voice came from the carriage:

"Don't stop, keep going! Diverted to Qizhou. ”

"Good!"

The boss of the car looked grim, didn't say anything, raised the whip in his hand, and slapped it hard on the horse's buttocks that had just been unloaded!

With a "snap" of the whip, the wheels rolled forward again......

Li Le'an, who was sitting in the carriage, quickly lifted the placket of the "old man" named thirsty, and quickly connected seven stitches; Then, she twisted the two silver needles in her lower abdomen and chest with both hands, and asked softly:

"How does it feel?"

"Thirsty ......"

Li Le'an raised his chin towards Yan Shu, who was full of pockmarks, and the other party nodded knowingly, and then lowered his head and turned out a gourd:

"Drink slowly...... Don't choke ......"

Although Yan Shuqing's movements were already very gentle, Shen Gui still coughed more than a dozen times after pouring this mouthful of clear water. The dry cough had just stopped, and a "poof" followed:

A large mouthful of black-purple blood sprayed half of the carriage walls......

Yan Shuqing didn't care about the fishy smell that suddenly rose in the carriage, and tears fell down at once; She pinched Li Le'an's arm and said incoherently:

"Look at it, look at it, if this water is poisonous, is he not good......"

Li Le'an frowned in pain, waved his hand away from Yan Shuqing's arm, and replied in a low voice:

"It's all waste blood accumulated in the body, which is a good thing......

Before the words fell, tears were already falling......

Since Li Le'an used the three-eyed eye fire gun to bombard and kill the last Heavenly Spirit Vein in Huayu Continent - Song Xingzhou; Shen Gui, who was seriously injured, fell into a coma. Frankly speaking, Song Xingzhou did have murderous intentions towards him, but before he could kill the killer, he died under Li Le'an's fire. Therefore, Shen Gui's coma has little to do with Song Xingzhou.

The root cause of his coma was because he witnessed Lin Siwei's tragic death.

It doesn't matter if he's faint, but it's really bitter for the two girls. Zhang Qingniu, the immeasurable real person of Xuanyue Dao Palace, did not go north with the three of them because he calculated that Guan Beidou would inevitably return to Nankang and preside over the affairs of Di Ting; And Li Le'an changed the three of them according to what Shen Gui had agreed in advance, and embarked on the road to the north.

Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you!
