Coming and going, joys and sorrows, more ups and downs from here.

All of them are not empty, and Shun is buried until now.

"Title Wuguan"

Tang Dynasty: Li She

- I'm the dividing line -

The earth-shattering battle in Wuguan City was still in full swing, but there was no sign of changing hands; Because the enemy who kept rushing in along the open gate, and the Taiping soldiers who reacted, they were still in a dog-tooth scuffle.

And Du Guangting, who was still in the gate, could only huddle in a corner by the gable wall tremblingly, covering himself with an overturned trolley, just hoping that no one would notice him.

Although Du Guangting had already made up his mind to stay out of the situation and escape from this dangerous place immediately; But in the face of the concern and greetings of these colleagues who have been with him for a long time, he still couldn't bear it, and picked up a stone and smashed the bronze bell of the warning in the high place with all his might.

Then what he feared happened without incident. As the four sides were alarmed, the defenders who came out on guard came one after another; The escort guards who had already entered the customs also changed color, cutting off the reins of the animals, pushing down the vehicles, and plugging the inside of the gate that had not yet been closed.

Then they rushed and fought against the nearby points, and with the cooperation of their accomplices who also broke out outside the gate, they attacked the head of the wall and destroyed the hinges that controlled the portal.

However, after the soldiers of the peace who had already come down from the riverside wagons and boats also spontaneously entered the battle as a new force, this momentum of retreat was suddenly stopped and contained. However, the enemies who had already poured in had also gathered a considerable number, and they were unable to hold each other for a while in the staggered melee in various parts of the castle.

In the rain of swords and arrows, Du Guangting could only walk along the root of the wall, hiding in the corner of the backer that was most far away from the bloody rain, and there were also some other merchants and civilians who tried to curl up and crawl behind the bushes and stones and fences to hide.

However, to Du Guangting's surprise, most of the servants and homeless people who were stranded in Guancheng actively or passively participated in assisting the defenders in their resistance.

Even though they were obviously lacking in training and equipment, they could not directly engage in battle, but they also used various tools and under the command of some veterans to collect materials, help transport the wounded, and use trucks and timber to build several uneven new fronts on the spot in the limited depth of the pass.

then cooperate with those vehicles and ships moored by the Wuguan River, rushing to load and unload more personnel and materials; And some ballast objects that could not help were even pushed off the boat by their hands, and stranded in bundles and half-sinking and half-floating in the river beach, and became more temporary passages and support points.

Therefore, with the passage of time after the fierce battles back and forth, the enemy troops who were firmly resisted between the cargo yard and the wall finally showed a certain decline and fatigue. At this time, several thunderous roars suddenly sounded on the vehicles and ships docking.

The enemy troops who occupied the base of the wall suddenly flew one after another with flesh and blood; With the cracked patches of earth and stones that burst from the root of the wall, they fell among the enemy's followers, and suddenly smashed into a jagged scream and exclamation.

But this was not enough, and more than a dozen fireworks flew out of thin air from behind the bunkers piled up on the shore, with a long and crooked smoke trail planted near the gate, crowded in one place in the enemy array.

In an instant, the flames and smoke that burst open and burst into flames flowed wantonly among the screaming enemy soldiers, and ignited one after another struggling figures in the dodge, crowding, trampling. But it caused a greater blow and results than any previous means.

Because they were quickly blocked on the edge of the doorway, the carts that were used as temporary shelters and shelters, along with the goods on them, were also ignited, burning into a fire that covered the sky and the sun, and also cut off the enemy's continuous influx of backups, separating them into two parts, inside and outside the gate.

The soldiers of the defending army who saw this scene couldn't help but be greatly boosted, and they were encouraged and inspired; began to dig out the jars with "handle with care, keep sealed" from the goods piled up in the rear;

Under the cover of swords and spears, they threw one after another at the enemy's approach; Suddenly, in the terrible exclamations and screams of the enemy's formation, accompanied by the diffuse aroma of wine and the burnt smell of roasted meat, more scenes were created that caused fire to rage.

And when the roar and fireworks in Wuguan City just now, among the people who stood on the hill outside the gate to watch the battle and give orders, someone immediately spoke:

"General, I said that's enough, let's go. At the beginning, it was said that it was just to intercept the reinforcements from Wuguan, and then wait for the opportunity to disrupt or break through the pass and burn it. Now it has become such a situation that cannot be taken by force, and it is already too much extraneous branches. ”

"It's not enough, it's not enough, as long as you work harder, you can take down the martial arts. Then you will have the credentials. ”

However, it is the general of the right guard of the Great Qi, and the defense envoy of the southwest of Gyeonggi, and the assassin of Huazhou, Shi Huang, who is here to say firmly.

"Isn't it enough that the things you have obtained in Upper Los Angeles, which are the foundation that the families have accumulated for a long time. We have already committed the anger of the public," and the one who tried to persuade him with anxiety was Shi Gu Cunyi, the deputy defense envoy and governor of China, who was also from the old rebel army.

"Then why not go further, there is news that in this martial pass, there is also a large amount of goods and expenses, as long as you can grab it, it will be at least the use of the North Road army for several years. It can also be used to explain that Chang'an is not. ”

At this moment, Huang Cun was like a gambler who had placed a heavy bet.

However, before he finished speaking, he saw that the fireworks behind the gate became bigger and bigger, and even turned into a tragic uproar, and in the smoke billowing aisles, many blackened or burned soldiers rushed to escape.

"How can this be reasonable, do they not hesitate to burn the jade in Guancheng. It's really hateful. Come, put on armor and get on the horse, follow me personally. ”

Huang Cun couldn't help but say in a hurry, the goods in this city were already expected to be within his harvest, otherwise why would he let people rob the caravan and then pretend to deceive the city to seize the city.

It's just that not long after his order was issued, the team on the left had just assembled, but several horsemen rushed over from the ridge aisle in the opposite direction, and after the leader of Ben arrived close to the horse, he couldn't wait to shout hoarsely to Huang Cun:

"General, things have changed, and Shangluo City has already withdrawn from the army without waiting for us to go to contact."

"What, he... He.. How could he do that. ”

Hearing this, Huang Cun was stunned as if he had been hit on the head. He never expected that the people who claimed to be his brothers would abandon him at this time and retreat on their own.

"Mingjin blows the horn, and we also... Retire"

Huang Cun, whose face changed greatly, was still quite unwilling and difficult in the end, and shouted out the last two words. Because this also means that the thousands of men and horses who have already attacked the city first have been completely abandoned.

This is a brave and brave man he specially selected. However, compared to the remaining half of the new force that he was able to save outside the city, it was a painful choice like a choice and a choice of flesh.

So in the sound of trumpets and gold plates rolling over and over again across the valley road; In the faces and eyes of the soldiers who occupied the city and were still fighting hard, they were all kinds of surprise, stunned and desperate, and the cries and cries of the heavens and the earth.

This hastily assembled military horse still took advantage of the opportunity of the fire to seal the door, and slowly but firmly retreated into the distance; Then the disappointed soldiers on the gate and the wall also seemed to have lost their minds and spirits all of a sudden, and they jumped down from the wall one after another.

Most of them fell hard into the shallow muddy moats, and they couldn't get up. But there were still a few people who still tried to climb up with their hands and feet, crying and screaming, just to try to catch up with the footsteps of the formation that had gone away.

And at this moment, even the Taiping soldiers who temporarily extinguished part of the fire with sand filled with carts and recaptured the city no longer fired arrows at them, but just silently watched the few figures staggering away.

Along the natural valley road of Shangluo Road, Huang Cunqin led the remaining people to rush back to the open valley where Shangluo County is located in only half a day. Seeing the low county city wall that had become silent in the distance and the door was open, he only felt very uncomfortable.

Is this the price of not being greedy enough even though you have already succeeded? He was so full of thought that he rode his horse over a board bridge on the Dan water; Suddenly, the bridge shook, and in the exclamation around it, it was torn apart and collapsed with the people and horses above.

Huang Cun, who fell heavily into the river, was also poured several mouthfuls by the icy and biting water; Fortunately, the river was still shallow at this time, and under the pull of the guards who struggled close to the left, he was quickly rescued from under the mount and saddle where he broke his leg.

It was only when he took a few deep breaths of the precious, fresh and muddy air, and with the help of Zuo Jin's hurried hands, he untied the heavy water-soaked Daqi and brocade robe, and loosened the knots of the two gears of the armor and let him fall into the water, when he heard Zuo Jin's sudden whistle and shouts of killing that resounded throughout the field.

But not far from the withered reeds on the riverbank, there have been many imposing ambushes, led by the general is holding a familiar cyan Kunpeng flag, and in the rain of arrows like locusts, suddenly attacked, because of Huang Cun's march and elongated in the formation.

And at the moment of engagement, the leading enemy troops raised their hands one after another, and in the long line of people stationed in front of them, a lot of smoke and dust exploded, and in the rolling air waves and smoke, Huang Cun's general flag and Daxu were slowly knocked down together.

Then more people took advantage of the situation and shouted in unison:

"Defeated, defeated"

"Huang Cun conferred the head."

"Kill Huang Cun."

And in the midst of this almost one-sided noise, the other teams of men and horses who had not yet engaged in the battle in the distance or hurried to support also seemed to have lost their fighting spirit and courage in an instant, and began to race to turn around and flee on their own.

Wang Xingkong!!! I will not give up with you."

And Huang Cun, who had already climbed back to the opposite bank, could only roar in the air, and then crawled with the support of the left guard, and hurriedly ran away into the distance.

It's just that when he and his party fled to bypass Shangluo County, and ran all the way to break the Qingni Pass, which still set up his own banner, he was about to buckle the gate and call the door to rest for a while; And think about how to deal with the subsequent situation.

Suddenly, several sharp arrows shot from the side mountain forest pierced through Huang Cun's body, who was standing inside the gate and couldn't dodge. Then, in an exclamation, he was snatched into by the guards who hurriedly opened the door, and dragged out a striking long blood line.

In the other route in the distance, Huang Hao and Huang Hao, the general of Zuo Wuwei and the northern envoy who had led the team out of Dachang Pass, also said lightly to the henchmen who had followed him for many years:

"This matter is not something that can be easily provoked by me alone;"

"There are many people who have made a lot of profits from the Taiping army's side and are red-eyed; Not to mention those capable people in the DPRK and the military, who have not tasted the benefits of directly sharing the benefits, are they willing to hold on to the past for a long time? ”

“。。。 Even Concubine Hui, who lives in the big house, doesn't want to cut off my queen's aunt's hopes and plans. ”

"It's because so many people and things have come together that we have jointly launched me, a bird that has never been able to deal with it."

"Therefore, regardless of what is gained in Shangluo City, it doesn't matter whether you take Wuguan or not; As long as enough people die in the meantime, the bigger the stakes involved, the matter will naturally become. ”

"In the future, there will be people who will continue to contribute to the trouble, sharing one or two for us, not to mention my old uncle, I'm afraid that he has already had a knot and care...

- I'm the dividing line -

In Jiangling City, Zhou Huai'an is also playing with the slender legs that my fair lady puts on his knees, while feeling the taste of real legs playing with the New Year to think about things;

Because it is a body that has been specially practiced in dance, whether it is the thighs, lower abdomen, or waist, it looks smooth and smooth, but in fact, with the reaction of touching the sensitive area, you can feel the tight texture and mermaid line.

And in some places on the toes and heels, although they look white and clean, they are much tougher to the touch than elsewhere. I don't know how much she has suffered in private because she was originally from Wuxing's Shen family.

On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, the Metropolitan Governor's Office tried to issue 250,000 taels of Taiping (silver) treasure coins and 680,000 taels of new (copper) coins; Most of them were shipped to the ticket houses of the major cities and Wangyi for the exchange and recovery of the wealth and salt bills;

The remaining part was used to pay for various affairs of the New Year's purchase, and part was distributed to the families of the soldiers and officials as benefits. According to the response of the Scholars Committee and the Social Investigation Department, there has been no rejection or request for a refund.
