In addition to the capital, the most promising place to survive is the place in the northeast that is about two counties and seven or eight counties, and the country is small, and their land of one county naturally cannot be compared with the land of one county in Daning, but seven or eight counties also have a population of four or five hundred thousand, and the mountains in that place are continuous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is really the emperor Ruan Tengyuan who is surrounded by the emperor and runs over there, it may be carried for a while.

The east dynasty mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountain is steep, even if the local people are very few people go deep into the mountains, there are many tigers and leopards, there are fierce crocodiles, ordinary people naturally dare not walk around.

Now there are still 20,000 or 30,000 remnants of soldiers who have returned from all over the city, plus Ruan Tengyuan's guards, and the guards of the princes' homes, it is naturally not difficult to put together a team of tens of thousands of people.

Ruan Tengyuan sat on his throne and looked at the grief and sorrow courtiers below, and the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became.

But now he is not in the mood to lose his temper again, the country is not a country, he, the emperor, has to rely on these people in front of him in the end, if even the hearts of the last group of people are scattered, the outcome can be imagined, if it is the same as the country, it will be fine, but in the end it will depend on them.

So even the courtiers felt uncomfortable, an emperor who would not lose his temper, an emperor who spoke softly.

Once upon a time, who dared to look into Ruan Tengyuan's eyes?

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Ruan Tengyuan was silent for a moment and then said, "I know that now some voices in the court are biased towards surrendering to the Ning people, and some people feel that the current situation is turbulent and the mansion is about to fall, so they have begun to plan for themselves. ”

Everyone's hearts were hanging, if in the past, the next time was when Ruan Tengyuan went on a killing spree, how could it be that everyone was not in danger.

But Ruan Tengyuan changed his words.

"I know that you are afraid in your hearts, and it is human nature to be afraid...... I have also heard that some people say that Ruan Tengyuan is the emperor and uses people as officials, is it possible that Ning people don't need people to be officials when they sit in this world? After all, the Ning people can't manage such a big place, so in the end, they can still ask the people to govern the people, if they surrender now, in the future, the Ning people will enter the city, and they can also find an official and a half position, and even more, Ruan Tengyuan will naturally not surrender, and the emperor will no longer be the emperor if he surrenders, but the minister surrenders, and it is possible that he is still a minister. ”

Everyone lowered their heads, and their faces turned pale.

Ruan Tengyuan said: "Think about it carefully, these words are not bad, but have you ever thought that now the Ning general Zhuang Yong is going to die, once he dies, the day the Ning army breaks the city, which of you can escape the massacre of the Ning people's revenge?" ”

The courtiers looked at each other, and some people were stunned, no wonder His Majesty had personally gone to the city wall to supervise the battle a while ago, and he never made a move, until he saw where Zhuang Yong was a few months ago before he fired an arrow.

How Ruan Tengyuan sat on the throne and sought the throne, decades have passed, and everyone seems to have forgotten it.

The bow horse is skillful, and there is the courage of ten thousand people.

He deliberately wanted to kill Zhuang Yong, and only by killing Zhuang Yong could the remaining courtiers have no way out.

"You all know the Ning people's way of acting, if Zhuang Yong dies, I am afraid that the day the city is broken, this capital will be slaughtered by the Ning army."

Ruan Tengyuan stepped down from the throne and walked among the courtiers: "But you don't need to worry too much, I have a way to break out...... Early this morning, someone reported to me that the camp of the Ning army began to be arranged, and from the distance on the city wall, it can be seen that the Ning army is replacing the white armor, that is to say, Zhuang Yong is really dead, and I should have killed him with that arrow, but he held on for several months. ”

Ruan Tengyuan glanced at the ministers: "If the Ning army mourns for Zhuang Yong, this is an opportunity, exhaust all the troops in the capital, open the north gate, and break through in the direction of the east mountain, I have prepared tens of thousands of elites on the side of the east mountain, but I was stopped outside by the Ning army for a while and could not be rescued, if I meet with the tens of thousands of horses and horses, enter the east mountain and operate for a few years, I am confident that I will take you back to kill." ”

Ruan Tengyuan said: "It is impossible for the Ning people to keep more than 100,000 elite soldiers here, and when most of the soldiers withdraw, you will fight the country back with me, at that time, you will be like the founding ministers, how can I treat you badly." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to talk first.

Ruan Tengyuan was annoyed in his heart, but he still had to suppress his temperament: "But it's not easy to break through to Dongchao Mountain, if the Ning army is in hot pursuit, their cavalry is powerful, we may not be able to run, so ......"

Ruan Tengyuan glanced at the ministers again: "I need a brave general, when the Ning army is mourning, lead the army to pretend to attack the Ning army's camp, attract the attention of the Ning army, and buy time for others to break out." ”

He asked, "Who wants to do this?" ”

No one wants to, who doesn't know that they are going to die.

General Ruan Huan Lin stepped forward, but saw the emperor quietly waving at him.

Now there are 100,000 soldiers of the Ning army surrounded outside the capital, and they are the soldiers of Daning, and those who have fought know that the soldiers of Daning have no opponent on land.

"I know you don't want to."

Ruan Tengyuan sighed: "In that case, I, the emperor, will do one thing for you." ”

He looked at the general Ruan Huanlin: "I have decided, all the people in the city who can bring soldiers and armor will add up to 50,000, and the weapons and armor will be distributed in the treasury of the Ministry of War, and the team of 50,000 people will be enough for everyone to have armor and weapons, and the team will be divided into two batches, and I will leave 20,000 people." ”

He walked back to the throne and sat down: "General Ruan, you and I will take 20,000 men to attack the camp of the Ning army from the south gate, and the remaining 30,000 troops will protect the others from rushing out from the north gate. ”

"Your Majesty, no."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a dangerous move."

The courtiers began to dissuade, after all, what His Majesty said just now was touching enough.

"I've been too you in the past."

Ruan Tengyuan shook his head: "I have realized that I was wrong, and I will ...... in the future If I can recover the rivers and mountains again, I will never do as much as before, and if I can survive this last battle, you will all be my siblings. ”

He waved his hand: "Disperse the dynasty, go and prepare, if nothing happens, tomorrow the Ning army will mourn for Zhuang Yong, and then I will delay enough time for you, I will live up to your Aiqing, and please don't let me down." ”

A group of people knelt down and kowtowed, and the scene was deeply moving.

Early the next morning, the defenders on the city wall of the capital saw that the camp of the Ning army was already white, and everyone was white, and hurriedly sent people to the palace to report to Ruan Tengyuan, Ruan Tengyuan immediately gathered the ministers, and ordered the forbidden army of 10,000 people, and the 10,000 elites selected by the city defense army to attack as the main attack, he personally led the army, Ruan Huanlin stayed by his side, and others, including the harem concubines and his mother and children, all broke through to the north gate with the team.

Ruan Tengyuan put on the golden armor, stood on a high place and said loudly: "I raised the dragon flag, wore the golden armor, and went out of the south gate of the capital to fight for a glimmer of life for Qing and others. ”

He took a deep breath, got on his horse, and grabbed his long knife: "Forbidden army son, go out with me to break the enemy!" ”

20,000 elites, heading towards the south gate.

On the other side, where did the courtiers still have the heart to see off His Majesty, one by one dragged their families and drove their horses to the north gate, the north gate opened, the team was crowded, men, women and children added up to sixty or seventy thousand people, how to go out conveniently, no way, and opened another city gate like a three-mile, and the people and the team mixed together and poured out.

Inside the south gate, soldiers stood densely on the street.

General Ruan Huanlin looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, why haven't you given the order to leave the city?" ”

"I'm chilling."

Ruan Tengyuan looked at Ruan Huanlin: "You have also seen that when I said yesterday that I needed a brave man to break off, except for you, no one stepped forward, and you wanted to speak, but I waved my hand to stop you at that time." ”

He sighed: "Of course, there is something wrong with what I have done, but the courtiers and ministers are like this, and I am also sad in my heart...... In fact, you should know that entering the Gongning Army camp with 20,000 troops is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, even if you buy them half a day's time? ”

Ruan Tengyuan shook his head: "To no avail." ”

Ruan Huanlin's face changed greatly: "But Your Majesty, they have already left the city." ”

"Then let them attract the attention of the Ning army for me, I have already explained, after leaving the city, someone will raise my dragon flag, and then the Ning army will think that I am also in the team going north, and the main force of the Ning army will chase after me...... I don't understand, even if Zhuang Yong dies, the morale of the Ning army will not be dissipated, it is the Ning army's soldiers...... It is only now that I understand the horror of the Ning army. ”

He paused for a moment and then continued: "When the war in the north starts, you take 20,000 people out of the west gate with me, all the way to the direction of Anzi Mountain, in fact, there is no force arranged by me on the side of the east mountain, but there are still 20,000 or 30,000 horses of the general Song Mao stationed in Wutong Pass on the side of Anzi Mountain, Anzi Mountain is no different from Dongchao Mountain, the mountain is treacherous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, after converging with Song Mao, with about 50,000 troops, how can it be easy for the Ning army to attack the mountain?" Do you know why I never sent Song Mao's people back to Beijing? It is because there is a granary in Anzi Mountain. ”

Ruan Huanlin's face kept changing, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Ruan Tengyuan said: "If the Ning army wants to win with one blow, it will inevitably release the people out of the northern city for at least twenty or thirty miles before attacking, and they will not let people escape back again, and the twenty or thirty miles are considered ...... It's Ning Jun's slaughterhouse, my mother, wife and children are all in the team, Aiqing, you still don't understand my determination? I've left you alone. ”

Ruan Huanlin had no choice but to bow his head: "Minister, advance and retreat with Your Majesty." ”

His wife and children were naturally also in the team going north.

About an hour later, the scouts came to report, looking north on the city wall, and it could be seen that the Ning army gathered around.

"Let's get out of Simon."

Ruan Tengyuan gave an order, and 20,000 elites escorted him and rushed out from the west gate.

And outside the northern city, it is already the human Shura field.

The Ning army's battle array was like a meat grinder, and the team that rushed out was already panicked and disorderly, and the Ning army suddenly arrived, where could anyone organize an effective resistance, and watched the Ning army kill from one end to the other, and the ten miles of the fight really became a slaughterhouse.

The earth is covered with blood.

The Ning army camp is very quiet.

Zhuang Yong, who drank a small bowl of rice soup, seemed to be in slightly better spirits, after more than two hours of treatment yesterday and night, although he was weaker, the good news was that there might be a possibility of a turnaround.

Standing beside his bed was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with handsome eyebrows, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion.

One dares to think, the other dares to let him do it, this is the decision between him and Zhuang Yong.

"The Shen family's medical skills are worthy of their reputation."

Zhuang Yong looked at the young man: "Thank you." ”

"It's not dangerous yet."

The young man said: "Before the treatment, I told the general, according to my method, nine deaths, if you don't do it, ten deaths, now it seems to be quite smooth, but in the next half a month, if the general's wound is not infected, you can rest assured." ”

Zhuang Yong said weakly: "This is already my luck, catch up with someone from your Shen family who is seeking to stand." ”

The young man's name is Shen Wanyi, the son of Shen Shengsan and the nephew of Mr. Shen.

"Qiu Li is rich in medicinal materials, I also know that the Daning army has almost laid down the entire Qiu Li, so I dare to lead the team to come here to buy, I happened to hear the news of the general's serious injury, so I rushed day and night, but it was still late, the general's wound has deteriorated, only to rip off all the carrion, and then stitch it up, I just hope that it will be safe within half a month, then I will rest assured."

Shen Wanyi took a few steps back and sat down on the chair: "General, let's sleep for a while, after a while, the effect of the hemp smoke powder I created will pass, and the pain will come up, and the general can't sleep even if he wants to." ”

He closed his eyes.

"I'll keep watch here."

Zhuang Yong looked sideways at the young man and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The doctors in the world prescribe medicine according to the prescription, which is a small way.

This person disembowels and sews up the wound, which is a major operation.
