Chapter 640: Urgent
In the city of Tokyo, an idle Liu surnamed Liu went to the Flying Crane Tower that he usually went to, which sounded a little atmospheric, but it was just a small teahouse in the city.
This man surnamed Liu, of course, can't afford to go to those real elegant places, but the consumption of this teahouse can meet his needs, and there will be a few people who sing songs and tell stories in ordinary times.
At a table by the window in the hall of the building, there are a few idle men, who are also acquaintances. After a few polite times, he also sat down.
After sitting down, I heard this man shouting: "Xiao Er, this tea is so light, today Lao Tzu found a few big bucks in the gambling house, put some wine, and cut some good meat." Lao Tzu invited my brothers to have a good drink today. ”
When a few men on the left and right heard this, they thanked them and applauded loudly. This is how the brothers lived. Who has a few spare money, eats meat and drinks wine with each other. If you are depressed for a few days, you can come back again.
It is normal for teahouses to sell alcohol, meat, and other food and sweets, but how can they support this store in Tokyo just by selling tea? But when this little two heard this, he walked a few steps to the end, first made a gesture, and then said: "A few guest officers, it's really unfortunate, there is tea in the shop today, there is still a little wine, and there are some snacks, but there is no meat to sell, please forgive me." ”
When the man heard this, he was not happy, and said: "What kind of business are you doing in Feihelou, you don't even have food, just close the door as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly bowed down again, and said with a smile: "Either there is no meat in the shop, or there are few stores in the entire Tokyo City that sell meat." The king of Yan has been outside the city for three days, and the meat outside the city can't come in, so where can he still eat meat. Forgive me! ”
When the man heard this, he understood, and said left and right: "You said that this King Yan and the court talked about war, but they didn't see any real chapters, and they didn't talk about a famous hall. It's like this, so much so that I don't even have meat to eat. What do you call it? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? I think that the new official family is unwilling to bow his head, and the king of Yan wants to take advantage of it, so it is so deadlocked. It's like fighting with the children on the street. ”
"Haha... This is a good analogy, and it is so, and it is no different from thinking about this state event and the children fighting on the street. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
Xiao Er saw that everyone was laughing, and the opportunity was just right, so he hurriedly said, "A few guest officers, how about some snacks?" Dim sum can also be served with wine, no worse than meat. ”
The man surnamed Liu was generous, and only smiled: "Dim sum is dim sum, come up quickly, let me wait for a few cups." ”
Xiao Er is also good at business, and he knows that people are good at talking when they are happy, so he doesn't stay long, and hurriedly turns back to serve wine.
At this time, suddenly there was a sound of thunder in the sky, which frightened Xiao Er, who had just turned around, and was about to open his mouth to complain a few words about this God, a good sunny day, and he turned his face when he said that he would turn his face.
But then the thunder and thunder rolled endlessly!
Xiao Er was really shocked this time, and hurriedly went out to see, and the guests in the hall also looked out of the doors and windows with puzzled faces.
Even if I know that although it is approaching summer now, there is no such thunder.
In the sky in everyone's eyes, of course, there was not a single dark cloud, let alone lightning and thunder.
That's weird?
The thunder stopped, and everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was happening.
After a while, another series of explosive thunder echoed in the sky several times, and the aftermath was humming.
Everyone was even more puzzled, that is, some people guessed where the fireworks were set off, but how could someone set off fireworks in this daylight, although the fireworks also exploded, they were not so loud. This speculation is self-denying.
In the distance of the street, a few people rushed in, shouting and shouting as they ran.
"It's been a fight, it's finally a fight!! This time it's the real chapter, shouting outside the city, it must be King Yan who wants to use some real means... ”
When the man surnamed Liu heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he also said: "Let's go, brothers, let's go and have a look together, and see what kind of means King Yan has." ”
The men on the left and right also stood up, that is, they wanted to go with them. Even if there are one or two who don't want to go, they can't wipe their face, and they don't want to show their cowardice in front of their buddies.
A few men walked to the door, and the man surnamed Liu threw a string of copper coins on Xiao Er, and said: "The wine and food are all good, I will eat again when I come back in a while, and the table cannot be occupied by others." ”
Xiao Er took the money, so he naturally nodded again and again as a guarantee. Obviously, this man surnamed Liu still wanted to go to see the big war, and he would have to brag about it when he came back later. It is more suitable to accompany wine with boasting than meat.
It was just a few men who ran out not far away, and they felt that the ground was shaking, shaking so badly that the cases on the street were trembling.
When several people saw this scene, they immediately stopped, looked at the shaking ground, looked puzzled, and looked at each other a few times.
A man suddenly realized and said, "Listen, the sound of horses' hooves, is it the sound of horses' hooves?" ”
Boom Boom... It's really faintly the sound of horses' hooves.
A few men stood on the street, a little hesitant, and kept looking back and forth, just to see if anyone had come from the city gate and brought some news.
After a few moments, the news apparently did not come.
What came was the soldiers who crowded the streets, these soldiers wore simple red and black military uniforms, and wore standard military sunshade felt hats, but they were missing the blades in their hands.
"The city is broken, run !!!"
"King Yan's iron cavalry has entered the city...
"The gates have fallen...
"Collapsed, collapsed...
A few men were so stunned on the spot, they could hear the shouts of countless soldiers running over on the other side of the street.
After reacting, several people hurriedly hid in the shop on the street.
In the crowd in front of him, hundreds of knights suddenly crowded, knocked over countless people, and rushed to the front of a few Tokyo idlers, all of whom were iron armor, and rushed through the street at the fastest speed. Heading straight into the city, he didn't pay any attention to the other pedestrians on the road.
The man surnamed Liu was dumbfounded, and said hesitantly: "It was King Yan's iron horse that passed just now??" ”
I only heard a man say uncertainly: "It doesn't seem to be, isn't there a Liu character on the flagpole in front of that head?" King Yan should be Zheng! ”
The man surnamed Liu heard the words and said, "That... That... ”
That's it, that's not going to come for a reason. I wanted to say a lot, "Then what did they say, King Yan Tieqi is coming." But I can't say it.
Because in the distance of the street, there really appeared ironclad cavalry, stretching endlessly, with no end in sight.
The sound that came again was already the sound of shouting and wailing.
It was extremely tragic, and several people turned pale when they heard it. Where is there just to see the lively chic and relaxed.
A few people stood in a store like this, standing up straight, and they didn't dare to stick their heads out to watch, but they heard the wail, like a terrible ghost, and couldn't sleep tonight. The store was packed in a few moments.
King Yan's iron cavalry is really here, different from the iron cavalry that rushed over just now. The iron horsemen who came again, but when they saw the uniformed men of the army in the street, as long as they could not dodge, the spears passed, and they were stabbed in pairs.
The scene is unsightly.
When the spear was drawn, he saw that the man was still crawling on the ground, and before he could climb up, his legs were repeatedly trampled by iron hooves. Under the severe pain, his face turned hideous, blood continued to gush out of his mouth and nose, and his whole body convulsed.
There was also a soldier on the horse shouting: "Don't move this person!" ”
Why is this person not allowed to be moved? Because these horse-back soldiers still have to come to collect the corpses, and collecting the corpses is a proof of military exploits.
Perhaps Zheng Zhi didn't expect these things, the military merit system brought Zheng Zhi's corporal a multiplier of combat power. But it also brings some problems.
Killing too many people, killing people in the hearts of these soldiers, is just a knife in hand, without the slightest mercy. Killing civilians is naturally punishable, even beheaded. But as long as the man was in military uniform, it became an acre of fertile land.
The first to rush into the city was the Han cavalry under Zheng Zhi. Those party members and Dadan people were sent to climb the city wall when the war began, so that Liu Yanqing could not put all the elite soldiers at the city gate.
After the cannons continued to bombard the city gates, the ironclad cavalry swarmed in. And the city was broken.
Everything is as simple as that, a siege battle, there seems to be no trace, except for the city gates that have been bombarded by projectiles, and the dozen or so passages filled in the moat.
Wu Song led people to rush all the way to chase after him, chasing the team of ironclad knights who ran in front of him, and Liu Yanqing and his son were among the knights.
chased until the Anyuan Gate of the inner city, watched Liu Yanqing enter the city gate with the people, and after the city gate was closed, Wu Song stopped the horse's hooves. He turned around and shouted: "Hurry up and report to Your Highness, push the cannons outside the city, the Emperor is in this city!" ”
Liu Yanqing rushed into the inner city, the horse's hooves did not stop at all, and he continued to run wildly along the horse street of the inner city with five hundred ironclad cavalry. Go straight to the Imperial City.
Most of the people living in the inner city are dignitaries, and most of the people walking on the street are the families or subordinates of dignitaries.
The horse's hooves galloped, knocking people on their backs.
Some people angrily pointed to the horse team that hit people, and scolded: "What a big courage, stop quickly, hit my son-in-law, and dare to run away... ”
"Liu Yanqing, this is Liu Yanqing's subordinate, it's this Liu Yanqing who is crazy, this official doesn't want to do it...
There were even servants and the like who dared to go out into the streets, reaching out to pull the reins of those who were still galloping.
The man on horseback was angry, and the horsewhip was raised, and some people even raised their blades in their hands, looking at the people who came to stop the horses' hooves, which meant that if you dare to come up and pull the reins, Lao Tzu will give you a knife.
Liu Yanqing, who was galloping in front of his head, could not care about this, and he would not respond when he heard people's shouts. It is even more struggling to beat the horse and gallop.
After a while, they had already arrived at the gate of the palace city, and the guards outside the palace gate were about to come up to stop them, but it was Liu Yanqing who whipped them. There is no more than the horse's hooves, but the heart knows what it means to be urgent.
rushed all the way into the palace, in the 160th year of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Yanqing was probably the first person to gallop in the palace.
