384. Escape from Binh Duong City
In the waterway, Fu Qingshuang was vigorously holding the iron fence. Suddenly, someone hit him with the rushing water, and Fu Qingshuang followed and slammed into the iron fence. It seems that the water is not good, but the waterway is full of turbulent water, and there is no room to breathe.
Fu Qingshuang became anxious and began to hold his breath. The people behind arrived, but they were blocked by the iron fence. I regret why I refused to practice the so-called Turtle Breath Gong back then.
Another person rushed in, Fu Qingshuang hit the iron rod again, the person behind him seemed to be dying, and his hands unconsciously grabbed Fu Qingshuang's hair and dragged it hard, Fu Qingshuang was in pain and drank again. Is this going to die in the waterway with Pu? Xiao Wan is still waiting, no one knows that they are in the tunnel, aunt should be able to take everyone out, right?
Fu Qingshuang slammed his elbow back, and the person behind him twitched. Regardless of the man's situation, he continued to struggle with the iron. Can't die here! No!
Suddenly a wit, no! It was from here that they entered the waterway, and it was Ah Pu who opened the iron fence. There are locks! If memory serves, the lock was hidden in a hollow railing on the side.
Fu Qingshuang acted quickly, and people behind him collided one after another. The rush of the water, combined with the weight of a man, had made him stick to the iron fence.
Lock! Lock! The locks were rusty and couldn't be opened. Fu Qingshuang's consciousness was already a little blurred, and in the confusion, water frantically poured into his mouth and nose. Not! Be sure to hold on! In the waterway, Fu Qingshuang forced himself to smash the live buckle with all his strength, and his finger joints were in great pain. Live button! Press hard, revealing a small lock.
In less than a moment, more than twenty people rushed out as the pool water gushed out of the waterway. It's just that there are only three or four of them left who are conscious, except for Nangong Pu.
Nangong Pu was in a hurry and pulled people ashore one by one. Fortunately, the sober people are all Qingfeng Hall, and everyone is desperate to save the drowning people.
After a while, Fu Qingshuang finally spit out several mouthfuls of water, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Nangong Pu who was dripping with water, and his face was already panicked. Laughing, he said, half-complaining, half-boasting, "You should have reminded me about the lock, but fortunately I was smart." ”
"You still say! Who knew you would forget?! Alas...... you really killed me. Nangong Pu wiped his face, just now he really thought that Fu Qingshuang was so ......, fortunately! Nangong Pu's eyes were sour, but he smiled slightly, "Okay, you can lie down again." I'm going to see others. ”
More than 20 people came out of the waterway, but two people were still not saved. Nangong Pu blamed himself a little, if he had gone first, there should have been no such thing.
The wet people on the river beach shivered in the drizzle and cold wind. Fu Qingshuang was worried that he would encounter the Tatar army, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and urged Nangong Pu to leave. The group supported each other and headed south.
"Where are you going?" Fu Qingshuang walked to Nangong Pu's side in a few steps and asked softly. I don't know if all the Tatar troops entered the city of Pingyang, at least although the shouting and shouting could be heard here, there was no enemy in sight.
"The Tartars are coming from the north, and we can only go south first, hoping not to run into the enemy." Nangong Pu didn't have an idea in his heart.
"I want to go back to the tunnel, and I don't worry about the people inside." Fu Qingshuang knew that Nangong Pu didn't like to mention Xiaowan by himself, "Where is the other exit?" ”
Nangong Pu didn't say a word, just walked silently, he gave up the official road and chose to walk from the mountain road and the trail, as for where the destination was, he really didn't know.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that Nangong Pu didn't mean to speak, Fu Qing was anxious, "I won't go with you, I'll save them." ”
But Nangong Pu just walked by himself, ignoring his meaning.
"Nangong Pu!" Fu Qingshuang roared hurriedly.
"Do you think I'm not in a hurry? There is my wife and son! Nangong Pu also yelled at him.
The people who followed behind him were all startled, and looked at the two silently, not daring to make a sound. Nangong Pu glanced at them and walked away embarrassedly.
Fu Qingshuang thought about it and followed him. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, he stood behind him, wanting to ask the location of the tunnel entrance, and felt that he should be comforted first.
"One of the two people who drowned was Mother Fu. She is Ah Jin's wet nurse, and I chose her to enter the house in the first place. Nangong Pu's eyes were slightly red, his voice was choked, and he avoided Fu Qingshuang's gaze, "I don't know where Wen Chu is." After the last eldest family got married, I chose him and has been with me for six years. ”
"Pu ......." Fu Qingshuang understood his feelings, but at this time, he was more worried about Xiao Wan's safety.
"I understand what you're trying to say, and I want to save them......." Nangong Pu looked down at the ground, he had to settle these people behind him, otherwise it would be better not to save him in the first place. However, I am afraid that the delay here will cost the lives of my family.
"The eldest son." Behind him, a member of the Qingfeng Hall stepped forward and bowed to Nangong Pushen, "Eldest son, let's go and save Mrs. first." Here, a few of us will protect everyone. ”
Nangong Pu looked back at him. This person was already scarred and half of his hair was burned, and although he knew that he was a breeze, he never knew what his name was.
The man said: "The eldest prince finally saved everyone, and we will never let down the eldest prince's hard work." ”
"Can't stay here, the Tartar is not far away and can be easily spotted." Nangong Jin felt that he was just momentarily angry.
"The subordinates understand. Therefore, the subordinates wanted to take everyone to the southwest and enter Luliang Mountain. My home is in Luliangshan Middle Road Village, about a day's journey from Pingyang City. The eldest prince, in the current situation, it should be the most suitable to enter the mountain. "This man seems to have a rough plan in mind.
"But there are quite a few roads from here to the mountains, what are you going to do?" Nangong Pu asked directly.
"According to the previous method of the eldest prince, we have six or seven people, each with three or four people, separated by a distance of about ten zhang, so that it is convenient to conceal and respond to each other. To the southwest, although there are some detours, it should not take half a day. Now the Tartars are basically in Pingyang City, but it is unlikely that they will encounter enemies outside the city. ”
"What's your name?"
"Wang Dong."
Nangong Pu looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded, "Take everyone to hide and try to take care of everyone." Ten days later, send someone back to the city to check, and if the Tartar is gone, come back immediately. Can it be done? ”
Wang Dong stood up straight and said loudly: "Yes! ”
**********
Binh Duong has fallen for four days. The next day, Nangong Mansion could not withstand the attack of the main Tatar army; The next night, a fire broke out in the Ping An Fang. At dawn, a torrential rain extinguished the fire, but the entire Ping'an Square was scorched earth, with countless casualties. Thus, from the third day, Binh Duong could no longer organize effective resistance and allowed the enemy to ravage.
Altan Khan did not enter the city, and although he liked the spoils of war and the prosperity of the big city, he did not like the wailing of his ears, his eyes full of flesh, and the ruins of the walls in the midst of the war.
"Great Khan, the Pingyang Mansion has been destroyed. However, the Nangong Mansion was preserved, and Pang went to see it, except for a few serious damages, the entire mansion was basically intact. As long as these few places are bulldozed, they can be used as the yamen we stay behind. ”
It was the white-haired Pang Tianshi of the White Lotus Sect who spoke, and Altan Khan often wondered if 'Heavenly Master' should not be his name. This time, after they plundered Shizhou, Altan Khan divided his troops into several routes and attacked Laishui, Jiaocheng, Pingyang, and Jiexiu, but he didn't expect the Ming army to be so cowardly, and he only dared to follow and watch the whole process.
Seeing that Altan Khan seemed to be in a daze, Pang Tianshi asked again: "Great Khan, everyone is very careful this time, the city wall of Pingyang has not been destroyed, only four city gates have been damaged. Why don't you give the order to clean up the city and lead the army into the city? ”
Altan Khan remained silent. It stands to reason that this Pang Tianshi's mission is to keep him safe, but what about the facts? This time to the south, Zhao Quan first said that it was not easy for the Ming army to rescue here, and before arriving in Shizhou, he suddenly proposed to divide the land, he wanted to demarcate most of Shanxi as his Zhao Quan's territory, and also chose Shizhou as the capital of stay.
It's a pity that Shizhou looted for eight days, and there was nothing left. He also thought about Fenzhou, Jiaocheng, and even Pingyang. Of course, he said that these were all territories belonging to Altan Khan, and he Zhao Quan was not in charge. The problem is, I don't want it at all.
The Datong army has always been watching from the sidelines, and several nearby military towns have not been broken. Ming Jun has always liked Mingzhe to protect himself, but it doesn't mean that he won't do it. Moreover, not to mention Pingyang, even Shizhou and Fenzhou are deep in the Ming Dynasty and protected by mountains, not to mention the establishment of any left-behind yamen, it is simply to let the Ming army be a live target. Secession is just borrowing other people's force to build his own regime, and Zhao Quan is too calculating.
However, this battle Altan Khan still came. For himself, he must give the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty a dismount, what he wants is nothing more than a permanent switch, this is a good thing for both parties, Lao Tzu does not understand the truth, and he needs to teach his son well. As for those nobles, they just want to send Zhao Quan to Tumochuan, if they can't come back, it will be even better.
This is a battle that everyone wants to fight, and even the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is waiting for it, so let's fight. It's a pity that no one is stupid.
"Great Khan." Pang Tianshi was in a hurry. If he could, he would have wanted to leave Altan Khan and do it himself. However, no, the 60,000 troops that went south this time were all Altan Khan's army, although there were several troops, and even let Zhao Quan take 10,000, but he also knew that it was not Zhao Quan who really led the troops. There are no soldiers in hand, everything is limited, this is the reality.
In any case, Altan Khan had already reached Pingyang, and the Ming army did not dare to resist. Now, as long as Altan Khan is willing to leave an army of 10,000, he can divide the land. As for Altan Khan, where he comes from and where he goes, it's good for everyone.
Altan Khan looked at the sky without complication, "That's it for today, it's getting late." Wait for those leaders to come back and hear what they have to say. ”
Pang Tianshi was on fire for a while, restrained himself, and nodded, "It's okay." "You can't spoil a big thing because of a momentary emotion. This is what Zhao Quan has repeatedly explained, if Altan Khan really does not want to leave the army in the Central Plains, they still have to return to Tatar, after all, Tumochuan has the foundation of the White Lotus Sect for decades.
