Chapter 297: Accumulation Change (22)

Ji Tong made up his mind for a long time, and at this time, the sound of killing in the south of the city gradually stopped, and the night of fighting was finally silenced. Ji Tong suddenly felt that the end was coming, and asked in a hurry:

"General Wei, this matter is very important, you are almost sure of it."

"Then it depends on how Master Hou plans."

Ji Tong didn't respond, Bai Liyan's words were equivalent to not saying anything, he kicked him as it was, what else could he say.

"Okay, let's do what General Wei has planned. If he could hold on for a day, Ben Hou thought, why should the Liang army come to besiege the city. ”

Ji Tong thought that Liang Jun didn't react yesterday, how could he come to besiege the city today, but he, the Marquis of Antai, was still in the city. But in fact, what Liang Jun was thinking at this moment was that no one in the rebels dared to touch him, and he was not in a hurry to wait for the Xian army to attack the city first and open the way.

This is the "coalition army", each with its own evil nest, has its own abacus, calculates and calculates, and finally calculates itself.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) walked around the mansion with red eyes, inspecting the casualties. The small 6,000 centaurs mentioned by Dian Kun are just an imaginary number, but in fact there is no one at all.

The casualties of the Liang army alone were as high as more than 300 people, and the defenders of the Prince's Mansion suffered nearly 150 casualties along the way, and the two forces of men and horses could only use 44,500 people, Jiang Jie's young men still had more than 60 people, and Wu Deng's men and horses were less than 150 people.

At the same time, the rebels completely wiped out the remnants of the camp in the south of the city, leaving 1,000 people to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded soldiers, and the remaining 5,000 people were transferred to the embassy in the east of the city as soon as possible.

Gongsun Yue's plan to attack King Xian in the early morning also failed to succeed, the reason was not that the Legation gathered five or six thousand people, but that at dawn today, an unknown force took advantage of the end of the battle and the soldiers were exhausted, and inflicted heavy losses on the rebels attacking the camp in the south of the city from behind, resulting in heavy casualties, and also took advantage of the chaos to rob some of the soldiers of the south camp, and the loss of the camp in the south of the city made Gongsun Yue really unable to draw more soldiers and horses to take the king of Xian in one go, and the attack had to be postponed.

Gongsun Yue was puzzled by this newly emerging force, and it was obvious that the three thousand defenders of the Prince's Mansion had reportedly fled into the Minister's Mansion, and it should not be the attack launched by the defenders of the Prince's Mansion from behind, so who would this force be.

"Shouqian, you can catch it alive." Gongsun Yue asked.

"They were all dressed in plain clothes and armed with hundreds of crossbows, and suddenly they came out from behind, numbering at least two thousand, and those who killed us immediately wrapped up the defenders of the camp in the south of the city and withdrew to the southwest city, and they couldn't catch up at all."

"How can such a group of people not find their traces, it is possible that they have all gone underground!"

"Teacher, there is a secret passage leading to Uncle Guang's house in the south of the city, and it is difficult to guarantee that this group of people and horses have also escaped from the secret passage."

"Shhh...... In this way, it wasn't Uncle Guang who entered the Minister's Mansion last night, it was him! ”

Gongsun Yue was taken aback, and then he remembered Baili Yan, Bai Li Yan's style of acting was very different from that of Uncle Guang.

As far as last night's situation is concerned, the Liang State Legation Mansion should be withdrawn to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible, because the Liang army has a unified command, unlike the Prince's Mansion, the Xian army and the Jin army are mutually contained. But if it's Bailiyan, it's hard to say.

"Oh no, it must be Uncle Guang who attacked our army in the south of the city this morning, and it was Wei Xian who entered the Liang State Embassy's Mansion last night."

"Teacher, why did Uncle Guang come with so many soldiers and horses, could it be that King Xian had already arranged it!"

"No, no. Although it is not clear where Uncle Guang came from these soldiers and horses, it must have been Uncle Guang who made a sneak attack on our army before dawn this morning, and if it was done by Bailiyan, he must have thrown people into our army at night to make trouble.

It's not good, if Baili Yan is in charge of the Liang army, the 5,000 forbidden army in his hands will not lose 20,000 horses in his combat power. Quickly, order all the armies and battalions of the palace to prepare to attack the Zongmiao and the Inner Palace, and Jiang Hai must be killed before Wei Xian makes a decision! ”

"No!"

Gongsun Yue realized a very serious problem at this moment, his army on the books was 40,000, and after last night's fierce battle, even if he did not make repairs today, the number of troops on the books that could be put into battle was 30,000.

But in fact, the county soldiers and civilian troops who held the Simen city wall and participated in the battle last night had to take turns to rest, and they had to continue to hold on to this Chengling City, which was dozens of miles long, and they could not mobilize men and horses to attack and kill King Xian.

Among them, 10,000 forbidden troops and 5,000 black turban troops were used to besiege King Xian, and there were 16,700 people left, of which 9,000 besieged the prince's mansion and the minister's mansion last night, and they also stayed up all night, and the remaining 7,000 people, except for leaving 1,000 people to stay in the camp in the south of the city, the remaining more than 5,000 people had just been withdrawn from the south of the city and transferred to the minister's mansion.

This meant that more than 14,000 people surrounded the legation, and more than 5,000 of them were exhausted from fighting all night. The other 9,000 people stayed up all night, half of them were still civilian troops, and in the face of the 5,000 forbidden army led by Bailiyan, these 14,000 people would definitely not be able to stop Bailiyan's offensive.

What's even more fearful is that at this time, except for the four city walls, there are almost no soldiers in the whole city, and the unknown number of men and horses in the hands of Uncle Guang almost come and go freely, casually appearing in the palace or in the minister's palace, the results are disastrous.

Even if Gongsun Yue could finally kill King Xian, it would inevitably end in heavy casualties, and it would even take a few days, and within a few days, Zhao Xun would probably have persuaded the Jin army and the Liang army to come and attack the city.

At that time, Gongsun Yue's achievements will fall short, and the strategic intention of cutting off the Yongxing River and Xianjun grain route will also be completely lost.

At the same time that Gongsun Yue ordered the siege of the temple and the inner palace, King Xian did not sleep all night, and when he heard the news of the killing outside the temple, even Jiang Hai, who had the heart to die, could not sit still.

"Luan Chong, Luan Chong!" Jiang Hai drank hysterically, and he no longer had the demeanor that a king should have.

"King, Luan Chong has already led his troops to the inner palace to suppress the rebels." Ding Yanghou said in despair.

"Where are the widow's reinforcements, where are the reinforcements!"

“…… Maybe it's outside the city, but the city of Chenling is high and deep, dozens of miles long, even if forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses besiege the city, one or two thousand defenders are more than enough to deal with, unless the army arrives, I am afraid that there is no possibility of breaking the city within a day or two. ”

Jiang Hai still has hope at the moment, but hope is not just a beckon, fleeting and fleeting. If you didn't use Gongsun Yue as the prime minister, or kill him, where would you be in danger of destroying the country today.

At this time, hundreds of concubines, palace maids and eunuchs transferred from the inner palace gathered in the temple, both crying and crying and not wanting to die, and those who wanted to cry without tears and were unwilling to die.

She also thought that there were still two thousand elites in the house, and maybe there was a glimmer of life to rush out, she was the princess of the dignified Jin Kingdom, the main room of the prince of Xian, why was she so unlucky that she didn't even sit on the queen, she was going to die under the rebels' knives, maybe it was refreshing to die under the knives, if they were all like other women who became a tool for venting lewd pleasures, what a shame it was.

Xihuan looked at her husband, the prince who is only fifteen years old now, but there was not the slightest fear on his face, which may be gratifying, at least Xihuan just saw this childish and fearless look, and felt somewhat relieved in his heart.

But when he saw the prince's eyes on Qiao Fu'er's face not far away, Xihuan's anger jumped on his face, even though he didn't make a noise, but his face was gloomy to the extreme at the moment, and the eyebrows that had always been raised on weekdays had been lowered, and the coldness and anger in his eyes were beyond reprise at this moment.

Xihuan hated that he couldn't kill this bastard with a knife at this time to relieve the hatred in his heart. When is this, there is still time to cherish the beauty of his cousin.

But in fact, today's prince is not a seedling cultivated by Xihuan over the years.

At this time, the killing outside the temple was screaming, and the rebels tried to climb over the wall to enter, but were quickly repelled by the crossbowmen, and the rebels then brought the pillars, and more than a dozen people in groups rushed against the gate of the temple, trying to reopen the gap and kill into the temple.

The death knell was about to ring, and a clear stream that was rare in the chaos was drowned in the cry, Princess Lan Yuan found a few pieces of white silk and tied them into buttons, the first one was prepared for herself, and when the second one was handed to Xuan Tinghou, Qiao Lian didn't know why:

"Princess, what are you doing?"

"If you don't want to divide the corpse with a knife, you can use Bai Aya to find a beam and hang yourself."

Princess Lan Yuan said stiffly, Qiao Lian cried with a sad face, looking reluctant to die:

"Oh, my princess, the king won't be in such a field, but he still has thousands of family fortunes at home, and it's a pity to die like this."

"Why, I can't bear to die!" Princess Lan Yuan glared angrily with a straight face, and shouted: "Take it!" ”

Qiao Lian's hair stood on end, and he took the white silk and looked at it again and again, only to feel that it was a pity to die like this, and he had to take all the gold, silver and jewelry away.

Princess Lan Yuan walked up to her son Qiao Cheng and daughter Qiao Fu'er, and handed Bai Aya to Qiao Cheng first, Qiao Cheng glanced at it, and two lines of tears immediately fell:

"Mother, the child doesn't want to die."

"If you don't want to die, you have to accept your fate, in the emperor's family, you also enjoy the glory and wealth, do you want to be content!"

"But the child hasn't even touched a woman, and the child is unwilling!"

Princess Lan Yuan was angry when she heard this, and she was busy counting herself:

"With your appearance, how can you be virtuous with your father. If you can't do it yourself, the rebels won't be able to chop you into pulp! ”

The mother threw down a cruel word, turned around and sat next to her daughter, Lord Qiao, like many women, was fragile in her heart, and she was already crying at this moment:

"Mother, I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, these thieves are all evil, if they rush in and see our mother and son alive, they won't be able to die."

"Isn't there still General Wei, will General Wei come back to save us?"

Lord Qiao said this, and Lan Yuan's heart turned upside down:

"Silly boy, how capable he is Wei Xian, can he still fly with wings."

"Then General Wei is dead......

The figure of Baili Yan Wei'an once again floated in front of Lord Qiao's eyes, thinking that he would be able to see him one day.

The sound of killing was getting closer and closer, and the rebels broke through the first gate of Gongzong Temple and quickly fought fiercely with the forbidden army of King Xian. At the same time, the situation of the rebels in the Legation was not so good.

Just as Gongsun Yue himself judged, Bai Liyan commanded the forbidden army to kill the rebels, and he was killed without even taking a face.
