Nado North City, Anximen,

The rain had stopped for a while, and the remnants of the scorching sun were emerging from the large fragmented clouds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the banner of the Northern Dynasty is planted on the wall, under the gatehouse is a scene of the door opening wide open and undefended.

In addition to the large and chaotic footprints of different shades at the door, you can also see that the corridor inside the doorway has been deposited with silt, and the debris that has rushed over from nowhere, which is piled up with a thick layer.

And the reaction and movement of the city when he saw the approach of the army was also quiet; Whether it was a trap in an ambush or a pure empty city plan, I couldn't help but fall into some deep doubts.

It was only when a few soldiers who were adept at climbing the city by means of ropes and ladders tried to climb the city wall that they confirmed with waving flags that there was indeed no one on it, and the fact that the gatehouse seemed to have been abandoned.

However, I was still not reassured, so I raised the flying boat from the spot for observation from a high altitude and confirmed that there were no traces of human activity in the area behind the gate, which was also submerged in the mud, and on the walls on both sides.

Only then was it ordered to let the first team and the brave soldiers continue to go up the wall, control the key points and commanding heights on both sides of the gatehouse, and the sappers on the other side cleared the passage under the door to facilitate the passage of the brigade.

The first to enter was the car camp led by Zhang Xian, and after a basic defense line was deployed on the spot near the inner side of the city gate, there was a follow-up action. . .

Therefore, when the Chinese army I represented was also able to enter the city, the first thing I saw was the mud piled up on both sides of the road, and the fresh smell of mud and garbage being turned up everywhere, mixed with all kinds of things under the mud, giving off a dizzying and complex smell in the hot weather.

Most of the soldiers who had already entered the city were either clearing the ground of stagnant water and silt, or carrying and searching for various building materials and components, and continued to expand and consolidate their positions on the inner side of the city; Some of the lighter guns were hoisted onto the city walls from the carriages used for transportation. Everywhere it looks, it's a busy scene.

In the distance, the imperial city and the high wall of the east sandwich city, which are already clearly visible in the northwest, are also indifferent or have no response to the movement and noise on our side.

Because the topography and layout of Luodu City are similar to those of the old Chang'an, they all belong to a typical pattern of high in the north and low in the south, and expensive in the west and cheap in the east.

Therefore, standing at the top of the gatehouse, you can see a large area of the city that is still submerged in water, among which the damage is particularly serious in Nanguo on the other side of Luoshui, and the situation in Beiguo, where I am located, is worse in the east than in the west.

On the contrary, Ouchi Miyagi Castle, located on the west side of Beiguo, and its nearby Hanjia Castle, Dongjiacheng and Fang District, have basically not been affected, but have left many traces of tragic battles, large or burned buildings, and corpses that have been piled up under the ruins and have not had time to be cleaned up at all, which is the best portrayal.

One can even imagine how when the flood came, how the two armies that were fighting against each other fought in the flood that quickly submerged under their feet, fighting and fighting to the death, just to fight for a small area of survival near the inner city wall.

And how the soldiers and civilians who fled under the threat and drive of the flood trampled on each other and pushed each other were killed and wounded, and the successive crowds were congested in the gaps between the nearby streets and buildings, and in the panic and earth-shattering cries, they were drowned alive by the rising water.

Although most of the corpses had receded or washed away with the floodwaters, they were dying and struggling at the last moments of their lives, clinging to the scratches and erosions, but they were deeply left on the sturdy bricks and stone walls.

Under the West Tianjin Bridge, which is closest to us, it has been blocked and clogged up by a large area of floating debris pressed by black, and the Luoshui, which was originally quite wide, can hardly see much turbid water surface.

Since this is true on the northwestern side of the city on higher ground, the situation of the army in the middle of the city, where most of the main forces are located in the south and suburbs of the city, is even less optimistic.

I only hope that after they get my warning, they can respond and take measures in a timely manner, so as to protect some more vital forces.

At this time, I sent out along the city walls to search and make contact, and the armed reconnaissance team that may have been left with the remnants of friendly forces in the vicinity has finally recovered and returned home.

。。。。。。。。。。

In a dark room,

In the midst of some kind of sound and movement, Yang Keshi, who was covered in bruises, tried to open his puffy eyelids, and it took a while before he remembered that he was not there

There was an earnest face in front of him, and several corpses had fallen to the ground in pools of blood, and just looking at the clothes, he vaguely remembered that they were all tortured and forced to question him.

The so-called sorrow is nothing more than death, he was born in the Yang family for generations of loyalty to the country, just his generation served under the leadership of the regent of the two dynasties, the Yang family has been killed for the king as many as 70 people; As one of the few who survived the two Northern Expeditions, he was injured in dozens of places all over his body, and he was indomitable several times when he was near death and in desperate situations; Serve the army with all your heart.

But in the end, it was because of an order from the Generalissimo's Office that it ended up like this. And the past that he once carried for the bigwigs of the imperial faction, and the deeds of having contact with Yang Si, the secretary of the Ministry of War, finally became ironclad evidence of his fornication and rebellion.

He didn't even have the opportunity to interrogate and defend himself before the court as a general, so he was recruited into Ouchi on the pretext of asking about the military situation, and after removing the sword, he suddenly became difficult to take it, and several of the soldiers who followed him were all killed on the spot, and he appeared in this secret room after being knocked unconscious, subjected to endless torture and urging, just to dig out more comrades from his mouth.

At this time, he vaguely knew that he was afraid that he had been implicated or framed in disguise by the Yang Bing Department, who was quite deep in the city, and he had several contacts and words with him on weekdays, but now that he thought about it, he was afraid that he also had intentions and intentions; But it is difficult for him to admit this charge of holding the Son of Heaven hostage with the intention of rebelling, and then to bite and identify others for no reason, and to involve more people.

Therefore, he suffered almost all the hardships and tortures during this time, and if it were not for those people who always had to spare his life to confess, I am afraid that he would have died in the various torture instruments long ago.

Nevertheless, he was dying of the tortured body, and the men became more and more irritated and unscrupulous; And when he tried to argue and texture the other party for himself, the only formal reply he received was a "no need".

This also made him sad and inexplicably completely dead, and he no longer opened his mouth to argue and begged for death and only waited for the last moment to come.

But what he didn't expect was that in the end, someone would come in to save him; Zhen Wuchen, who should have been arranged by him and escaped and flew away, was trying to open the shackles on his body.

"Yang Shuai, I'll get you out."

Zhen Wuchen, who was honest-looking, pry the lock over and over again, gritted his teeth and said with tears in his eyes.

"It's a shame that these dog thieves are doing this to you."

"I just hate that I can't let them suffer more before I die."

"Hmm..."

Yang Keshi said something to open his mouth, but he vented that his voice was hoarse and difficult and could only make some vague noises.

Zhen Wuchen hurriedly took out a skin bag, poured him a few mouthfuls of water, and dredged the blood clots in his throat and mouth, Yang Keshi felt that his throat was clear.

"Why do you take such a risk for me?"

At this moment, Yang Keshi was not in much of the mood to question or accuse the other party, destroying his principles and position of being loyal to the country and not sparing his life, or his intention to persevere and the hope of fulfilling his family's name and honor.

"Yang Shuai and put your mind at ease"

Zhen Wuchen seemed to be wrong and explained to him.

"It's a mess out there now"

"There aren't many people who can get in the way of getting you out."

"What about my subordinates?"

Yang Keshi suddenly remembered a question and hurriedly asked

"How are they?"

"They... They.. ”

Zhen Wuchen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but still told the truth with some difficulty.

"They... Most of them are gone."

"Those who are caught are caught, those who are killed are killed, and those who flee are fled."

"The rest of the people are panicking, and when the flood comes, no matter the enemy or me, they will be scattered and washed away."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wuchen's expression became sad and indignant.

"Only when I waited for some people who dredged the joints and came in in advance to inquire about the whereabouts of the handsome, I was lucky enough to avoid the disaster."

"Big water...

Yang Keshi couldn't help but notice this key, and was suddenly shocked in his heart.

"Da Shot, he's really come this far."

But the voice became particularly bitter and gloomy, and he fell into this fate, but I am afraid that it has something to do with the original admonition against this method.

"Put everything aside, or please let the envoy follow me out of this filthy land."

After Zhen Wuchen spent a lot of energy, he finally picked the lock, helped Yang Keshi down from the torture instrument, and shouted to the outside world.

"Come in and take a hand,"

After a while, Yang Keshi, who was covered in blood and saw the light of day again, looked at the messy scene in front of him with some embarrassment, only to realize that he was actually still under the palace of the audience.

It's just that in just a few days, it's already a matter of fact.

With Zhen Wuchen's voice, "Yang Yuanjun is here. Suddenly, those figures who were scurrying between the palace rooms like headless flies gathered one after another as if they had found the backbone.

Yang Keshi couldn't help but feel a little clear and sudden in his heart, even if the Generalissimo's Mansion convicted and tortured him, he never made it public.
