Chapter 822: Slut Hypocrisy, the Beginning of Civil Strife
The person who shouted in surprise was, of course, the titular envoy Cai Ying. Although he also knew very well that he was just a civil servant who was transferred by the official family and his Lao Tzu to receive credit for nothing, but now that the military situation is urgent, it has reached the point of burning his eyebrows, since it involves his own safety and what is the military situation, of course Cai Yan can no longer ignore it.
Especially when Cai Yan witnessed the tragic and cruel scene of the battlefield in front of him, the air was filled with the smell of blood and choking, which made him can't help but vomit. When he heard that his subordinates said that the Xia army was focusing on attacking the city gates on the west and south sides of Linxia City, after all, there were still some horse troops and chariots fighting in the city, and they could still flee out of the city to the east or north, Cai Yan couldn't wait to find Xiao Tang and others, and ordered these reckless men to immediately think about their own safety and quickly protect themselves from this dangerous place!
Xiao Tang also immediately jumped up at this time, and he noticed that as Cai Yan shouted in horror for everyone to abandon Linxia City, several generals in the Bianjing Forbidden Army also looked at each other, and I am afraid that they had already begun to retreat at this time. Xiao Tang scolded Cai Yan in his heart for disturbing the morale of the army, but he could only force himself to hold back the anger in his heart, and said to Cai Yan with a gloomy face: "Now that the enemy army intends to force us to abandon the city and flee, I am afraid that there are also soldiers and horses ambushing along the way, and now there is still a city to cover, Cai Xianggong wants to drive his troops to leave and give up a large amount of grain and grass, isn't it in line with the Xia army's thoughts?" ”
Cai Yan sneered and said, "Xiao Tang! The Japanese officials put the overall situation first, and they don't want to worry about it like you, but don't think I don't know the current situation! The summer thieves wanted to earn a lot of food and grass, so they had to force our army to abandon the walled city. Now that you have the opportunity to escape from the enemy's encirclement, you still have to fight for your merits, and the sect official is here to accompany you in great danger!? ”
Xiao Tang felt the anger in his heart, and the joints of his hands were already crackling: "Cai Xianggong, your life is valuable, and I don't expect you to be of any use here." Since you don't want to defend the city, I will send a hundred light cavalry to escort you from the north gate, as for the future, it has nothing to do with me, whether to find other Song army troops to ask for help or find another military village to hide, you can go wherever your fucking love goes! ”
"Xiao Tang! You've been presumptuous! ”
With Cai Ying's scolding, a few henchmen flashed behind him, but there were those fierce soldiers around Xiao Tang in front of him, and these Cai Mansion's attendants didn't dare to be disrespectful to Xiao Tang at all. But now when it comes to his own life and death, in Cai Ying's mind, since the purpose of the Xia army's surprise attack on Linxia City is to intercept the grain and grass of the Song army, then abandoning all the chariots and fleeing from the north gate is undoubtedly the safest choice, so he no longer has the restrained appearance of the city government as in the past, and pointed to Xiao Tang's nose and scolded: "This official is the main supervising army, and all the soldiers and horses in the city are controlled by this official!" I repeat, I command you to abandon the city and escort the officials out of here at once! ”
Wu Jue saw that Xiao Tang and Cai Yan were getting stiffer and stiffer the more they talked, and he hurriedly stood up to play a round, but before Wu Jue could speak, Cai Ying pointed at his nose and scolded him: "Pickled guy, you silence me!" Didn't you say that Linxia City is impregnable and will not be easily broken by summer thieves? What do you say now!? The official has not yet cured you of the guilt of prevaricating the superior, but do you want to deceive me? ”
At this time, Hua Rong's hanging palm, index finger and middle finger shook involuntarily, and now he really wanted to shoot the arrow of the pickled sour man in front of him who was afraid of death and spared his life! It's just that Hua Rong can still hold it on his own, but Pei Zhong jumped out and pointed at Cai Yan and scolded: "Dog officer! Your life is important, and the soldiers of the border court are all cheap? If this batch of grain and grass falls into the hands of the summer thieves, and the front-line supplies are lacking, do you know how many front-line sons and daughters you will kill!? ”
Cai Yan saw that Pei Zhong was like a mad tiger, he was so shocked that he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then pointed at him and scolded: "The surname is Pei, what are you doing?" Are you going to rebel!? After all, the grain and grass are dead things, and your duty is to protect the official, if you really teach the Xia army to break the city, how can you keep the official well-thought? ”
"Sprinkle the family to protect your mother's legs!"
Pei Zhong hissed and scolded bitterly, if it weren't for the soldiers next to him who pulled him to death, Pei Zhong really couldn't wait to pull out the steel knife on his waist and chop over the noisy ointment in front of him! Killing on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers in the army have to delay tens of millions of dangers, who can guarantee that every war will be won? Who can keep all the walled cities safe? But the sons and daughters in the army still have to throw their heads and spill their blood, which one is like this guy who avoids swords and fears swords!
Cai Yan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he pointed at Pei Zhong and scolded: "Okay! You have all seen that this guy is trying to assassinate his own officer! How can the law of the country tolerate you, a thief with a military background? Come on, take him down for me! ”
Although Cai Yan reprimanded loudly, none of his entourage on his left and right dared to move, because behind Pei Zhong, there were thirty or forty Western soldiers who all half-raised their crossbows in their hands, and their eyes were as sharp as sharp knives, glaring viciously at the officials who came from Beijing.
Seeing this, Cai Yan was even more angry and said: "Okay! The mud-legged people in the barbaric frontier have no king's law, and they are really going to rebel? Several commanders of the former division of the Bianjing Palace, don't hurry up and take down this rebellion for me!! ”
"Enough!" Xiao Tang suddenly let out a tiger roar, and the Bianjing forbidden officers who were in a dilemma were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. And Xu Guanzhong was also busy coming to Cai Yan at this time, and persuaded him: "Cai Xianggong Mingjian, there are still many military villages in Suide Prefecture, such as Kerong, Mizhi, Zhenbian, Qingbian, etc., which are not far from Linxia City. If there is a loss of grain and grass, the imperial court will inevitably investigate Cai Xianggong's guilt Now maybe the reinforcements of other military towns know that the enemy army is attacking, and lead the troops and horses to help, if you abandon the city and flee at this time, it is also the trick of the Xia thief, there is a strong enemy outside, if we wait for the internal gap at this time, the situation will not be more dangerous? ”
"Humph! Does the official still use you to teach? ”
Xu Guanzhong said it reasonably, and Cai Ying couldn't refute it. Although he really wants to get out of danger as soon as possible, Cai Yan also knows very well that Xiao Tang seems to be going to sing against him, and now he can't count on it, if he really takes down Pei Zhong and other generals of the Western Army, and causes a mutiny of the Western Army in the city, I am afraid that his situation will be even more unfavorable, so he had to say angrily: "This official is waiting for some time first, but if you don't say that when other soldiers and horses come to help, the generals of the Bianjing Forbidden Army must listen to my orders, and you all remember to me that it is the will of the official family that is representing the supervising army. If you dare to disobey my orders again, you will be guilty of deception!! ”
Xiao Tang and Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui and other brothers glanced at each other, and began to worry that Cai Yan's attitude had shaken the hearts of the generals of the forbidden army in Bianliang, Tokyo.
After more than half an hour, it was already a moment of time, and suddenly another military health reported that the Xia army seemed to be preparing to attack the city again. Xiao Tang and other generals hurriedly rushed to the city wall to visit, and saw that a road was separated in the formation of the Xia army, and more than ten camels carrying whirlwind cannons were led out by the military man, and the objects in the saddle bags were also thrown out and shot towards the city. Xiao Tang, Pei Zhong and others hurriedly ordered the sergeants under their command to hide behind the city wall, and be careful of the bombardment of the flying stones, but the dozen or so black objects thrown out by the whirlwind cannon came slowly, and after they hit the arrow tower of the Linxia city wall, they rolled down to the feet of the Song soldiers on the city wall.
Xiao Tang and the others looked fixedly, only to find that what was thrown from Xia Junzhong was more than a dozen bloody heads! And after Pei Zhong cleared the appearance of the two heads, he gasped and said hatefully: "Straight lady thief! It's the Shen Dujian of Kerong Village! There is also the royal capital eunuch of Suiping Village! ”
