The first watch of the new year is also coming

As one of the eleven gates of Luodu, the Upper East Gate is said to be a gatehouse, but in fact it is more like an independent small city, or a large fortress with a large number of garrisons. In addition to the two wings of the towering city wall, there is a heavy Guozi city inside and outside.

The head of the city is wide enough for horses to run and camp in, and there are also long and wide ramps, with sheltered stairs on both sides, and a pleated road in the middle that can drive horses up and down, so as to facilitate the transportation and transportation up and down the city wall.

As the main body of the gatehouse, the ancillary construction area inside and outside is also much larger than the city gate in the general sense, so even after most of the city walls have fallen, the defenders can still rely on the gatehouse itself to continue to condescend against the attacking enemy.

It's just that any fortress is the easiest to be breached from within, and the defenders of the Upper East Gate are no exception, although they desperately blocked the strong attack from outside the city, but after the Anxi Gate was sacrificed, they easily fell into the hands of an enemy disguised reinforcement.

It is said that there were not many prisoners in this battle, because most of the remaining defenders were tragically jumped to their deaths under the siege from inside and outside. It doesn't matter what the truth is.

Since the Upper East Gate became the command center of the Eastern Road Capital of the Luodu Front, it has also been temporarily arranged and transformed into a private residence for the generals of various armies in the battlefield, and the bags and goods are temporarily stored here.

At the same time, there are also some women they have obtained from various sources. Now these women are gathered in a large hall under the gatehouse.

The so-called three women are comparable to a hundred ducks, and when the hall is full of hundreds of warblers and swallows, I don't know how to describe it.

Even if their faces were pale, pitiful, tear-stained, and the soft whispers or screams of various tones and meanings came to their faces with the smell of fat and flesh, and with the cold wind pouring in behind me, the world inside quickly became pure.

It is said that when they were found, some of them were bound in various ways, or fixed to some strange equipment, and they looked languishing or even dying after a long time, and it was easy to think of words such as secret room, imprisonment, and training that were so popular with the masses of silvermen that they were liked.

In fact, they were all locked in a relatively closed inner room, although it was freezing outside, but these women were wearing beautiful embroidered dresses that were not only good-looking, but basically had no warmth function, and most of them had carefully put on makeup.

Therefore, with a career line that shows snow-white shoulders and a very low mind. People are a little reluctant to look away, supposedly to deny them some means of escaping.

After all, leaving the warmth of the room, let alone the patrols or rebels, the body temperature quickly taken away by the ice and snow alone is enough to kill any hope and attempt.

Although it is a temporary use of battlefield catharsis, but after a rough look at the past, the comprehensive level of general appearance and figure is not bad, although because of the difference in personal taste, there are various types and ages from young to mature.

It is very in line with the needs of harem collection and control under a certain online text.

It's just that their faces don't look very good, and all kinds of frightened, panicked, depressed, ashamed, and helpless expressions flickered on the beautiful faces, and with the movement of my stride, I involuntarily retreated to give way to a large space, and huddled behind the pillars of the hall, shivering like quails in the snow, waiting for some unpredictable fate and end.

Before that, they were collected in the midst of war, and were used as their own private property and exclusive confinement under the tacit rules of the senior generals. In a certain way, their beautiful appearance and posture are either their luck or the source of their misfortune.

Their outstanding looks have allowed them to escape the raging effects of war, and most young women may suffer tragic or tragic ends, and even improve their own environment.

Although it was only temporary, it was enough for them to get a warm room and more than a little more abundant food than others, and the army of the Southern Dynasty was known for its wealth and wide variety of supplies, and as a general, the luxury and enjoyment of the battlefield was also a not uncommon norm.

But it also plunged them into the sad reality of some kind of caged bird, a thing to raise. In order to live better, they can only accept it voluntarily or involuntarily, and they need to use this natural capital to beg for favor to the owner in order to get a longer reality.

And now, the person who can decide their fate is undoubtedly me, although this is just a coincidence, which is inevitably a little embarrassing.

Thinking about it and glancing at these unexpected trophies, the women I saw with my eyes wept and moaned with unknown meanings as if they had been burned by something even hotter, but they could not help but give rise to the desire to ravage and conquer.

After all, it's been a long time since I last tasted Susu's first night. It's just that at this time, some fragments of memories buried deep in my heart also rippled.

The Zhumen Jiadi buried in the ashes and ruins, the cellar that is a little oxygen-deficient because of the turbid air, the sad and helpless faces, the sobbing and cries that are strongly suppressed,

Every time I return to bring food and news, all kinds of ups and downs of complicated feelings and expectant admiration in my eyes......

Finally, from the dream, the eyes erected in the triangle seemed to remind me of something, since I left Liangshan, a certain impulse and faint call that had disappeared for a long time also became gradually distinct, and it seemed to be in this Luodu City.

I even have a vague delusion that I am not too far away from the answer I have sought when I came into this world.

Getting rid of these thoughts, looking at them again, they suddenly became a little bored, and the slight impulse turned into fading appreciation, and just ordered "good life to take care of", and turned away with a dull mind.

After all, I have more important things to do than to put more effort into these women, such as the success or failure of the soldiers who follow me in tens of thousands of ways, which is the direction I need to focus on and care about.

The whole process is not a secret thing, with the guard's colorful description,

It wasn't long before most people learned of this and the result, and some of the guerrilla troops couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and each showed a relieved expression.

After so many things, it is not that no one is aware of the breathtaking ambition and opportunity behind this qiē. Therefore, there is now this small collective that has just seen its embryonic form, and has the opportunity to faintly test its mind.

It can also be regarded as a kind of natural resentment and apprehension of the old subordinates who think they are following the deepening of the day, and a kind of natural suspicion and apprehension about letting the girls in the rear take full power.

For others, it is also a matter of whether the lord is worth their further follow, such as the special proposition of changing from a trustworthy and dedicated official to a lord who entrusts loyalty and ideals, and finally came to a more satisfactory conclusion.

At least this temptation is not something that the vast majority of people can resist and ignore, and a leader worth following certainly needs a woman of sufficient good blood to give birth to an heir for him, so as to ensure the basic inheritance and continuity of the common cause and future direction.

But a leader who is easily attracted to women and lightly influenced by them is also worrying and unsettling, which means that there are more uncertainties and variables in the decision-making of the way forward, as well as the possibility of success or failure depending on the person.

But at least this one is selective and measured. Whether this lord has a special taste, especially prefers young women, or is more discerning and doesn't look down on these postures at all, they can rest assured for the time being.

Although the information obtained from those routs was confusing and full of all kinds of exaggerations and speculations, after accumulating a sufficient amount, it was still possible to obtain some clues and truths from them.

"What's going on......"

I headed towards the adjutant general Xin Jiaxuan, the senator Lu Wuguan, and the Marquis of Duyu Zhao Long. grumbled.

"Isn't there still tens of thousands of troops in the city, why did it suddenly collapse......

"Even if tens of thousands of pigs are tied up there, they won't be able to cut them all for a while......

According to the information collected by Yao Pingzhong, as well as the analysis and speculation of Wuping, some specific things can be basically restored.

However, not long ago, in order to obtain the support of the Middle Route Army, Wang Song, the commander of the Eastern Front, had taken the initiative to lead the team to the Middle Road Formation near the East Tianjin Bridge to discuss the next step of joint operations.

As a result, before he could reach the halfway point, the defenders in the imperial city suddenly launched a large-scale counteroffensive, and the soldiers and horses on the front line of the siege were crushed and out of control, and several enemy troops broke through the blockade and re-entered Beiguo.

One of them was so good that he ran head-on into Wang Song's team, and as a result, at least two battalions of guards were caught off guard, and were scattered by these enemies who appeared on the flanks and in the rear.

As a result, these news suddenly led to a larger-scale upheaval. Although the troops of the Eastern Front who remained in the city were numerous, they had no available reinforcements, and they had no food to hold on for a long time, and because they had lost their backbone again, there was a certain fierce disagreement.

Due to the successive losses of the upper echelons, there were no candidates who could convince the public in the rank of substitute commanders, and eventually it turned into a drama in which the leaders of the large and small armies abandoned their friends and neighbors, and each went his own way and rushed to leave.

In fact, the moment my troops entered the city, they had already abandoned their camps and control districts, and rushed towards Anximen and Jianchunmen in the east.

As a result, most of the remaining numbers in the city, with the exception of a battalion of the Left Guard near the Upper East Gate, have been scattered or washed out without any information.

As a result, the combined forces under my command have actually become the largest formed armed force in Beiguo City.

This result makes people feel a little embarrassed and a little alarming. If my troops had come earlier, or if their arguments and decisions had been postponed a little longer, it might have been a different story.

The momentum of the Northern Expedition, the triumphant Central Plains War, the ups and downs of the Dujian Raider, and the arduous Luodu attack and defense. Countless soldiers sacrificed their lives and fought bloodily to get to this last step that was only a stone's throw away from the overall victory, and finally it turned into such an uncontrollable situation.

In the end, it is surprising, but I don't feel that there is much abnormality, after all, many things are accumulated over time, and finally the quantity becomes qualitative.

From the ever-lengthening supply lines, the increasingly vast control areas, the lack of efficient and flexible means of occupation, the increasingly chaotic logistics dispatch of the organization, to the gradual lack of transportation capacity, to the intrigue and prevarication in personnel.

All kinds of crises and worries that have occurred deeply, or in other words, have accompanied the Northern Expedition from the beginning, but they have been covered up and ignored by the smooth victory and the balance of forces under the great advantage.

Now, obviously, it has finally reached the critical point of the mutation of "the end of the strong crossbow is difficult to penetrate", and the consequences seem to be extremely tragic and heavy.

In fact, even I, who had already felt some of the signs, could not have predicted the end of such a total collapse. According to my expectations, no matter how bad the situation at the front is, it is still on the offensive initiative, and the worst result will not be that after a local defeat, it is necessary to defend itself and fall into a long-term stalemate.

But no matter how much my subordinates and I reflect on and summarize these on the spot, and write written materials that can be recorded and circulated, we still have to face the mess of reality that is difficult to clean up.

For example, friendly forces that have grazed sheep all over the city, and enemy counterattacks whose strength is still unknown in the city. As for the horses in the south, they bore the brunt of the breaking through the battle line, and let the enemy troops come to the rear, so they must have to plan for the worst-case scenario.
