Chapter 15: Step by Step

Linshui is a water town, where the river network is dense, the scenery is beautiful, people often say that the mountain eats the mountain and the water draft, so the aquaculture and planting industry in Linshui is very developed, providing fish products for the whole Dachen, known as the granary of Zhaoyang.

Because of the dense river network, there is also a function of the waterfront, that is, the transportation hub, not only the waterway is convenient, the land route is also very convenient, here is the communication of Linyang, the capital city of Dachen, and the connection between the southern towns and the eastern towns, is an important transportation place.

At this time, Linshui, is staging a big war, after the Tang Dynasty captured Luocheng, all the way north to attack the cities of Dachen, and now it has attacked Linshui. Because of the importance of Linshui, the Tang Dynasty concentrated 200,000 troops to attack Linshui, and has been attacking since last night.

I saw the smoke billowing from the water city wall, and the fire burned down most of the buildings on the city wall, and now the aisle of the city wall is full of soldiers' corpses, bloodstained, weapons scattered everywhere, a scene of hell on earth, the light of dusk shines on the city wall, like welcoming the dead soldiers, full of weirdness.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were still storming, and the heart-rending shouts spread throughout the wilderness below the city. I saw that the Tang soldiers had already attacked the moat and were planning to lower the river bridge. One by one, huge boulders fell from the sky and smashed on the iron chain of the suspension bridge, and the thud made people tremble.

On the city wall near the water, Prime Minister Li Mingguang and the general who protected the city stood there watching the Tang soldiers attacking under the city.

"Li Xiang, the Tang soldiers have already attacked the moat, and they are about to break the city" A gray-faced general rushed from the city to the city wall and said to Li Mingguang and the city protector

Li Mingguang said in a trembling voice, "What about people, what about people, resist me, resist it, where are they all dead?"

"Li Xiang, there is no one left, they are all dead, and they can't hold it anymore," the general said in a trembling voice

"It's all dead, what's the use, a bunch of useless waste" Li Mingguang shouted loudly to the general

"Bang bang" These are two crisp sounds, and the iron chain of the Hucheng River Bridge is broken. Countless Tang soldiers came to the city wall along the bridge that was suddenly lowered, and they carried the city pillar to move towards the city gate.

"Li Xiang, let's withdraw quickly, if we don't withdraw, it will be too late" The general who was standing beside Li Mingguang spoke up, he had long known that they would not be able to resist the Tang Dynasty soldiers at all.

"Withdraw, withdraw," Li Mingguang looked at the dense flow of Tang soldiers, his heart was full of panic, under the cover of the soldiers, Li Mingguang abandoned the city in a hurry and fled, looking at the Linshui City behind him into a fight, the sky was full of fighting and killing, and pieces of fire rushed to the sky, Li Mingguang knew that he was finished this time, the emperor let himself come to negotiate peace, not only did he mess up the peace, but he couldn't even hold the city, and suddenly thought of Su Jingming's figure kneeling in the main battle of Zhaoyang Palace, Li Mingguang burst into tears.

"Newspaper... Lost on the water"

"Newspaper... Guicheng lost"

"Newspaper... Castle Peak Castle Lost"

········

"Smack!" Chen Xuanyuan smashed the fold on the table.

"Get out, get out, get out of here, what's the use of raising you, you can't even hold a city"

The soldier who reported the emergency hurriedly kowtowed and asked for guilt, Chen Xuanyuan knew that it was not his fault, calmed down and said "Get out" The soldier hurriedly got up and withdrew from the Zhaoyang Palace.

"Now that the front is in danger, which Aiqing has the ability to go to the front to assist General Li Hu in resisting the Tang Dynasty," Chen Xuanyuan looked at the Manchu Dynasty and said in a deep voice

Immediately, the ministers in the Zhaoyang Palace bowed their heads one by one and were silent, and Da Chen was sad even after losing the city, but he didn't dare to stand up and take the initiative to ask for help.

Chen Xuanyuan looked at the silent Da Chen below, and suddenly felt that what he was doing as Emperor Da Chen was really useless, and even his ministers were unwilling to defend the land one by one.

"No one, no one, what do I usually raise you for, there is not even a soldier at the critical moment, ah! Yes! Yes! A bunch of waste," Chen Xuanyuan stood up angrily and pointed to the ministers standing below.

"And Li Mingguang, why hasn't he come back yet, I'm going to kill him" Chen Xuanyuan suddenly remembered the culprit Li Mingguang

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is already on his way back, and he will go to the capital if he goes down today," Wang Jin, the secretary of the military department, replied in a low voice

"When I come back, I'll be put in prison, what's the use of him, and I'll ask for his head when I settle the matter."

"No" Wang Jindao

"General Li Hu has rushed to Yangcheng," Chen Xuanyuan looked at Wang Jin and asked in a deep voice

"I've already set off in the morning, and I'll be there in a few days," Wang Jin hurriedly said

Chen Xuanyuan looked at Wang Jin's cautious appearance, and a breath of anger rose from his heart

"Retreat, a bunch of waste" turned his head and walked quickly towards the Heart Pavilion.

The minister in the palace looked at Chen Xuanyuan who was leaving, and sighed with relief at the same time, only retired from the old prime minister, and this court is over.

In a steep canyon path, five men were riding horses, and their horses ran across the sand road, kicking up billowing yellow smoke.

"General Li, I've been on the road for most of the day, do you want to take a break?" said one of them

"No, we have to hurry to Yangcheng, time is running out, speed up for me, hurry to Yangcheng," said the tall gray-haired old man

After receiving the emperor's order, although he was old, he also hurried to Yangcheng, hoping to stop the Tang army's attack, and also wanted to win a glimmer of hope for his daughter who married into the Su family.
