43. Riding a bull into the customs (A)
"Adjust the Veterinary Guards, strictly arm, martial law in Nancheng, and find out who started the fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yan Mu's mind flashed with the look of shock when the Son of Heaven saw the paperwork, and he knew that the shock was reasonable.
Because the letter was not sealed, there were only sixteen words in it, and the words were stained red with blood, but they were extremely true.
Datong, Jizhou, and Liaocheng have been broken! Kou to the former place, trapped in the mountain customs!
Before the Northern Expedition started, the convenience was already like a bamboo, breaking through the northern barrier.
After that, as long as the last line of defense is broken through the Shanhai Pass, the secluded army can reach the capital of Xuandu.
The opponent's 20,000 cavalry, but how did they break through the hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern towns! And so quickly!
This makes it impossible not to panic today.
And the strange abruptness of the firelight and cannon roar came so suddenly that even he, a veteran of the military, was flustered when he heard it.
Could it be that Yu Yan is really already in the city?
Yan Mu hurriedly ran out of the colosseum, turned on his horse, ordered a few sergeants, and was about to lead the team to inspect the place where the fire came from, but at this time, there was a sudden explosion in the east and west, and the sound came from the fire.
Yan Mu was startled and reined in his horse, but he heard the horses guarding around him suddenly roar in unison. Yan Mu looked around and looked from afar, but saw a flash of fire in the jungle on the southeast side of the colosseum, and faint smoke rising. At this time, I suddenly heard a "report". But he saw a herald hurrying forward, kneeling in front of his horse, the sergeant's armor did not seem to fit well, and the helmet on his head was a little crooked. At this time, seeing that the herald's armor was not in order, and he was worried at this time, he was angry for a while and whipped on the soldier's helmet, but when he saw that the soldier was knocked to the ground, he instantly turned over and got up, still kneeling on the ground, and shouted "report"!
Seeing this, Yan Mu forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, but saw that this soldier was quite young, so the anger in his heart dissipated a little, and the horsewhip sounded in the air, and shouted: "Come on! ”
The soldier had just been wronged, but at this moment he was extremely calm, and reported: "Report to the commander, at the northern foot of the South Mountain, it was found that there were ambushes of the enemy, and it seemed that there were thousands of people. There are three places that have just set fires, and in addition to Nanshan, there are Nancheng Pig Street and Xishi Jiaofang Division. At this moment, there were suddenly several explosions in the jungle on the side of Nanshan.
Yan Mu had the idea of the enemy's soldiers coming in his heart, and he knew that in the past few days, Shi Xin, the general of the Zhuguo, and Mu Yun, the Duke of Anguo, had been idle because of the "assassination of Qin", and His Majesty was angry, so he did not use the military strength of the two major armies of the Qishan Battalion and the Three Battalions. In addition to leaving a small number of three battalions to maintain law and order in Gyeonggi, the rest of the defense of the Colosseum was undertaken by the Gyeongzhao Guard.
If the enemy army has arrived at this time, it is not impossible to lay an ambush on the South Mountain, according to Gao!
Thinking of this, Yan Mu trembled in his heart, whipped his horse, ordered five hundred guards and rushed to the southeast jungle. The jungle on the southeast side was three miles away, and it was difficult to reach it in a hurry, Yan Mu looked at the faint firelight, and his heart was anxious. But after only running a few steps, Yan Mu suddenly felt a pang in his heart, reined in the horse's head, and asked the guards to call the six guards and the crazy eight lang, and asked the two of them to take the five hundred people to explore the South Mountain.
The old six poisons, the old eight crazy, in short, are all deadly characters, now that things are strange, let them explore the way first, and their risks will be smaller!
Yan Mu arranged it properly, and took a monocular with his hand, and looked in the direction of the five hundred people, only to see that in the jungle, the fire faintly seemed to be shining with armor light, he was surprised in his heart, and felt bad in his heart, so he saw a dazzling burst of fire in the telescope, and then the earth and stones flew over, and faintly heard the sound of people shouting and neighing, he suddenly felt bad in his heart, and was hesitating, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in the north market, and at the same time there was a pillar of fire shooting up.
Yan Mu was anxious, and at this time, a sharp voice next to him suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Commander Yan, this capital is ...... But the thief ...... The thieves have captured it? ”
Yan Mu turned around, but saw that the person who came was Wei Huan's henchman eunuch Qian Ning, it turned out that Qian Ning had been instructed by Wei Huan, and was about to go to inform An Guogong to transfer the Qishan battalion to change the defense of Gyeonggi, but he didn't expect to get the entrance of the competition field, but saw a rather chaotic situation, so he didn't dare to go to report the news, so he had to ask Yan Mu for help here.
Yan Mu asked the reason, he knew that the matter of the transmission of the holy decree was quite important, and at this time, the market seemed to be quite chaotic, if the words of the messenger were followed, then there would inevitably be disturbance along the way to Qian Ning. A defensive force in this colosseum was originally 3,000 Jingzhao guards, but there were 1,000 guards who maintained order in the field, and now that Nanshan went to 500, there were only 1,000 and 5 soldiers available, Yan Mu thought in his heart at this time, secretly thinking that this Qian Ning is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if only a small force is deployed to escort Qian Ning at this time, it is difficult to say that it cannot be solved when encountering an enemy ambush, and secondly, the holy decree cannot be transmitted, so it is good to say that it angers Wei Huan, if it angers His Majesty...... As soon as he was in his heart, he ordered a team of 1,000 people, leaving 500 people to guard the entrance of the Colosseum, and carefully instructed the divine power of the sword guard to hold the sledgehammer and prevent the enemy from attacking.
The fourth of the Ti Dao Guard is a brave general on the battlefield, and he was promoted and reused because of his military merits, although Ping Suri's small kung fu is not as good as other Ti Dao Guard, but the big opening and closing scene in the battlefield is brave and fearless, and a pair of "Monkey Hammers" really killed many heroes in the green forests of the rivers and lakes. At this time, Yan Mu put the hammer Lao Si here, which was intended to use his bravery.
The arrangements were made quickly, but he heard the shouting in the market getting louder, so Yan Mu did not hesitate any longer, and waved his army to the place where the noise was made. Rushed through the three street entrances, but saw the fire in front of him, black smoke rising, obviously there were neighbors burned, wooden walls and wooden beams collapsed, blocking the way, Yan Mu was awe-inspiring, ordered the team to disperse into four roads, divided into left and right front and back guarded forward, to peel off the burned beam, but suddenly the smell was strong, "purring" gushing out of a group of black pigs, rushing the horses back again and again. But it turned out to be a thunderbolt, and the pig shed of Zheng Guanxi, the pig street tyrant, was burned down inexplicably, so the pigs raised walked around, causing water splashing, scolding, catching pigs, and crying in a mess. There are also people who take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, take advantage of the chaos to grab pigs, so the situation is chaotic, all the soldiers are Jingzhao guards, and they also know the people in the neighborhood on weekdays, and when they see the fire, they don't care about what they say, and they help fight the fire with all hands and feet.
Yan Mu already knew at this time that Fang Cai was too nervous, although he didn't understand how the fire started, but at least the riot here was not what Fang Cai thought he was "shouting to kill". He didn't want to delay here, so he waved his horsewhip and was about to lead the team to withdraw, but then he heard the sound of "hulala" flames around him suddenly, but he didn't know when there were several fires around him that began to spread, and suddenly a burning wooden beam pressed down head-on, and the horse that Yan Mu was sitting on was frightened, jumped and dodged, and was separated from the soldiers. But unexpectedly, at this time, the wall fell and people were in chaos, and the horse had nowhere to stay, so it fell over, and Yan Mu jumped away dangerously. But at this time, a pile of bamboo poles turned down, Yan Mu "sighed" and collapsed, but unexpectedly, the pile of bamboo poles was loose and messy, although he broke a few, but the rest were pressed on him, he was about to shout for help, but he couldn't open his eyes by a burst of smoke.
Yan Mu Duan didn't expect that his clothes had been burned in several places at this time, and his armor was also roasted hot at this time, he struggled outward, but unexpectedly when he fell off the horse, there was a broken wall falling, and he really didn't mean to pick it up, he had already given birth to the idea of dying at this time, but at this time, a thunderclap fell, and the heavy rain poured down, instantly pressing down the surrounding fire, Yan Mu took advantage of the momentum to climb out, but saw that the place where he was should be a courtyard on Pig Street, but at this time it was burned through by fire, and it was full of ruins. At this time, Yan Mu was drenched in heavy rain, and suddenly sobered up a lot, and looked at the sergeants brought by the four places to be scattered by this inexplicable fire, and his heart suddenly sank!
Not good!
Several thoughts flashed through his mind!
That pawn who gave the order was so calm! That's too complete!
At that time, the fire had only just started, and Nanshan was still a few miles away from the Colosseum, how could this pawn know the details so quickly!
If it comes from the north, it seems that it should not be detoured to the south!
So......
Oops!
Yan Mu didn't have time to think about it at this time, so he hurriedly integrated the hundreds of people who were not damaged, and assigned his escort Qian Ning, who had broken his right arm by the chaos just now, to continue to go to the Anguo Mansion, and he took more than ten horsemen and rushed towards the colosseum.
――――――――――――
On the side of the Colosseum, Yan Mu led the team away, and the fourth hammer sat at the entrance of the Colosseum with a chain hammer fixed with a steel cable in his hand. He felt sorry for Ni in his heart, but he only felt that the second brother was too cautious, and he actually let him, a brave pioneer who could cut the head of a general, guard this small entrance!
Thinking about it, he hates it more and more!
He is obviously brave and brave, even if he puts it right, he is confident that it will not be much worse than the second brother's "sighing anger".
I guess it's because I stutter too little on weekdays!
thinks that the second brother is also a child of a rich family, supported by the powerful, and he is from a poor peasant......
Although there is no comparison, I can't swallow this breath.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, and in the midst of this rage, suddenly he heard a bull roar!
He got up angrily, but saw an ox cart rushing in front of him!
A four-seater wide cart is much wider than an ordinary ox cart, and looks quite like a military chariot, and the spokes of the cart are all tied with iron sheets, which seems to be quite solid and stable. The body was covered with a thick tarpaulin, and the cart was pulled by three oxen, with daggers tied to the horns, and seven or eight spears on the spokes, and the spear heads were reddish, as if they had been burned with flames!
This is an ordinary ox cart, it is clearly a fire ox chariot!
And on top of the chariot, a young sergeant dressed as a soldier was struggling to maintain the balance of the three galloping oxen, and he was driving towards the entrance of the Colosseum. I saw that the young man was less than twenty years old, of medium stature, with armor draped obliquely, as if he had stolen it, and although his face was still childish, his eyes were full of fierce color.
But it's not who Xiang Youer is!
