On the second day, the whole army arrived at Pengcheng, and when it approached, it released the liaison flower battle, and the city gate gradually opened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Street fighting was in full swing, and the red, gold, and black soldiers who rushed into the city set off waves of fighting.

The artillery fire and gunsmoke stained Pengcheng in the setting sun into a blood-colored wall under a fog-colored veil. Qin Qiong and I had already decided on the ship, and when the secret decree was announced, the ship would be launched, and the purple gold wheel fire spear in hand would rush in first, shouting "Fight the enemy".

"At the city gate, the sky covers sixteen formations, the outer square and the inner circle, the four are the wind, its image is the sky, the lord of the array, the first of the soldiers, make good use of the three armies, its shape is not biased," Qin Qiong shouted,

"The Heavenly Covering Array is the Qianwei in the Twenty-Four Formations, the six formations guarding the Jingmen, the northwest is the dry land, and the Qiandi is the Heavenly Array. And Jingmen is also the only Jimen among the eight gates except for opening, resting, and living.

"Tiger wing formation, surprise forward, mandarin duck formation, encircle and annihilate the enemy" I also followed Qin Qiong and shouted, the soldiers heard that they were in place, and gradually appeared fighters,

"The wind is in array, the western army, the wind has no shape, attached to the sky, changed into a snake, its meaning is gradually mysterious, the wind can drum things, everything surrounds, and the snake can be around,"

While Qin Qiong rushed to kill, he said to the deputy general next to him, and the deputy general ordered him to rush away.

"The clouds hang down the formation, the Northeast Army, the clouds are attached to the ground, the beginning is invisible, it becomes a bird, its shape is formed, the bird can stand out, the cloud can be obscure, ever-changing, the voice of the golden leather," I called to the commander beside me and instructed.

"The rest of the people, follow me to the ground and carry the battle, and help the Lord!" Qin Qiong said.

I also shouted, "The twelve formations, its shape is square, the four corners of the cloud lord, it is difficult to charge the enemy, its body is unpredictable, it is infinitely useful, it cannot be independent, and it is matched with the yang," the whole army transformed into a phalanx, and rushed away horizontally.

The arquebus roared fiercely, and the sound of bayonets and wolf slammed against the rattan armor on the doors of the houses in the streets, alleys, and the cries inside the doors and the sounds of fighting outside the doors fell into the heads of the soldiers in front of them with the last red light of the setting sun in the dense smoke of gunfire.

I stopped abruptly and watched my arms and legs tremble rapidly for a long time in front of me, while my head was completely still, and an arquebus pierced his skull, and I could do nothing but put him down and continue to command to keep the formation forward, approaching the military office and the harem.

There seemed to be reinforcements entering outside the city, and the peasant army in the city was also in a hurry, and the city head and the drawbridge were killing and fighting:

With the footsteps of the night, you can hear axes chopping wheels, even whips and mallets beating each other, and in the impermeable arrows, the axles of the axles hanging, the sound of tripping ropes and bayonets, the congestion is overwhelming, and the howling on all sides, it is difficult to advance and retreat.

I didn't care about that anymore, I only pressed Qin Qiong's back against each other, and my fists were around me directing the battle array to rush forward.

Taking advantage of the surprise of the two armies, a peasant army climbed to the side and used a dead chicken wrapped in ammonium nitrate and sulfur and various incendiary materials to ignite and throw into the battle array.

Then, a rushing peasant army brandished a sickle and cut down the surrounding soldiers in the gap and a pool of blood, only to see Qin Qiong's bow to shoot, and the archers around him drew their bows one after another, knocking down the peasant army rushing from the opposite side one by one.

I fired my musket and arquebus, and shot out under the cover of the reorganized formation of the soldiers next to me, and I couldn't ignite and explode all the items together like the peasant army, so I had to shoot them one by one for fear of hurting my own soldiers.

The archers and wolf warriors next to them also shot arrows one after another, and gradually formed a battle formation again, pushing the battle line forward.

I don't know that this is the first few nights of gunpowder and death in Pengcheng, the fire is dazzling all night, if it is day, the sky is full of iron pieces of messy roar, both sides are shouting that the other party's master is dead,

to frustrate the morale of the opposing army. Arrows rained down all night, and there were many falling arrows overhead. Until the fire ran out, the city was as black as it had been when a rainstorm had come, and there was endless black ash.

"Scout battalion Lin Ning, Wang Hui, Sima Le, quickly go to the military affairs office and the fortresses to inquire about the situation of the lord and report."

Qin Qiong saw that the other party's arrow rain was a little weak, and hurriedly ordered, "The other people's mandarin duck formations will break through with me." ”

"Yes—" The generals took orders. Suddenly, from the corner of the alley, he saw a column of soldiers in uniform of the Praetorian Guard, who were being strangled by the peasant army that was rushing to attack, Qin Qiong hurriedly said, "Up-" The generals rushed out one after another, and the Praetorian Guards had just a round,

But I heard Qin Qiong say, "Dad-", on weekdays, I have always heard him and Qin Qing both call Qin Yi "father", but I rarely hear such a sincere expression of intimacy, so I hurriedly greeted loudly, "Father-in-law-"

Fortunately, the generals were busy with the war, and no one had time to laugh at me for not forgetting to please my father-in-law at this moment, and everyone only continued to be busy with street fighting, "Dad, how many days have you been fighting in the streets?" ”

"Three days,"

"Day and night, where will the supply of the peasant army come from?"

"The granary in the city, our army and the peasant army are constantly fighting"

"Aren't the granaries and horse mills all under the jurisdiction of the Grand Prince?"

"Do you think there is such a thing as jurisdiction? Whoever grabbed it and secured it, you be careful" As he spoke, Qin Yi picked up the two fire crossbow arrows that were shot at Qin Qiong.

……

"Report-" The voice of Sima Le of the scout camp came from the front, "The lord and the queen mother and others are all on the Suzaku Tower, and there is a fierce battle under the stage, and both sides dare not bombard the Suzaku Terrace, so they have to fight with bayonets and arrows under the stage,"

"Hurry up and help, rush" Qin Qiong waved his gun and pointed forward, his momentum like a rainbow.

"Report—" Wang Hui's voice said, "General Feng Wenqing at the West Gate is here to help." ”

"Revisit—" Qin Qiong said loudly as he rushed to kill.

The weather began to get worse, and the clouds were cloudy, and after a while, heavy rain poured in, and mud everywhere.

The heavens wept and watered the blazing flames of the ground, and the red clouds and rain were dyed with a fantastical and sad color.

The peasant army occupying the Huguo Temple in front of them fired arrows and attacked the strongholds with muskets and arquebuses, the streets were clogged with rubble and corpses, and the priceless monuments and buildings were also depleted, and the dense firepower and arrows made the Janissaries and reinforcements in Beiming pay the price of blood and tears.

When another group of arrows and bloody wind came, the guards on Qin Qiong's side were shot straight at the heavenly spirit by a fire bullet in order to block the stray arrows that shot at Sheng Zheng, and they fell straight down, their eyes wide open.

Sheng Zheng was crazy, picked up the rattan card, took a bunch of people around him, rushed to the roof, and threw incendiary bombs and a large bag of ammonium nitrate and sulfur into the three-story tower of the temple while attacking violently, billowing gunsmoke and pungent explosions and flesh and blood.

, the rest of the soldiers rushed up to fight with the peasant army for the stronghold of the Huguo Temple.

"Newspaper—"

"What's the matter?"

"The eldest princess ordered General Fu Yannian to go to the West Gate, there is something important," Wang Hui said in a loud voice.

I immediately followed him as he protruded outward.

Cover each other all the way, and everywhere you pass, the former restaurant and tea shop, Xuejie Gongyuan, industrial and commercial building, Longjin arch bridge, pawnshop banknote, chess teahouse, hanging pot medical hall, and Shijia Lianyuan are all rubbed by the arms of blood and fire in the hustle and bustle of the war.

Even if it continues, it will be torn apart and turned into rubble and purgatory, and those beings in it will not know how to make their lives, and the thought of this makes their hearts very painful.

The eldest princess has sent someone to pick me up to a Luo-style temple on the west side of the White Horse Temple, and I read the handwritten letter of the eldest princess who came to me.

It was understood that Cao Qin had been ensnared along with the carrier pigeon of the Snow Mountain of the Snow Mountain of the Luo Wei Fuji Snow Mountain, which he used to communicate.

quickly entered the side hall, changed into the blood-soaked clothes on his body, washed away his depressed and depressed body, changed into a long shirt again, pulled his Han bun, and ran his hair, before moving to the side hall.

In the side hall is a color of Luo Wei folk style setting, the quaint and lonely Zen silk curtain and the wind and rain outside the window swing together, the couch on the Edono Ni mud gold painting inkstone, both sides of the screen are landscape calligraphy and painting:

On one side is the ancient painting "Hairpin Phoenix" by the new Yue, and on the other side is the "Autumn Wind Crossing" by a snow boat painter in the Fujiwara period.

There are tatami mats and futons on both sides.

On the two small tables are the Okuden made of authentic Tosa tofu, the sormon sushi with bamboo leaf rolls, the thinly sliced crucian carp fillet on ice on the Imari blue camellia porcelain plate, the Japanese seafood salad, the tempura and eel soup are also very mellow, and there is a jar of plum bamboo and Japanese sake.

I glanced at the rosewood incense burner in the four corners, and the fragrance was faintly lingering.

I smiled slightly, "The treatment is really good," I said to myself, and Fang said to the guard next to me, "It's urgent, bring him up." ”

When Cao Qin was brought in, I didn't look at him, but just picked up the wine jug and ate with food, and then I realized that I had not eaten or eaten for a day, but because of the urgency of the war, people often forgot to sleep and eat.

After I was swept away, I picked up a few handkerchiefs and wiped my lips, and then took the wine and sent it to Cao Qin and said, "You can also do it, when you are strong before going on the road, you look at this place, but it is a good dissection territory?" ”

He didn't answer the wine, nor did he answer, and looked at me with a slight mockery on his face as if he were watching a play, and his eyes were very old-fashioned.

I stuffed the jar directly into his arms, sat down on the other side, and continued to say my words, "I've been away from my homeland for many years, and I don't know when I'll see Minatogawa again." ”

Then, I took out a page of red note from a few clicks and read softly: "The liver and gallbladder are fierce, nine lives are silent, and they attack silently, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, and the three lives are worthy of forbearance and bloodshed?" - Kotokusa Hayakawa"

He still didn't say anything, and looked at me with a look of contempt and indifference. I still didn't pay attention to his reaction, and continued, "Speaking of which, General Yasu-su is over fifty years old, and he has won the love of his parents and daughters born to Yodohime, and he regards them as treasures, and he is afraid that there will be no one behind him, so he does not hesitate to kill anyone who can threaten the young master in the daimyo.

The mother of Yodohime is the one whom General Kangxiu has loved all his life but has never obtained, just like if I am the lord of Beiming and cannot be the queen's mother," I continued to him with a resentful look and a strange voice,

"Now that Ido Hime, plus the support of the three bigwigs behind him, such as Ishida and Kuroda, and having a young son, your lord Mrs. Kitamasao is very skillful, but she can't withstand the deep love and parent-child affection,"

As I spoke, I took a big sip of the wine in the bowl in front of me to quench my thirst, and then said, "Of course, Mrs. Hokushosho can naturally wait until after the death of General Yasuhide, and join forces with the big names in the shogunate to fight with Ishida and Yodohime.

It's just that, General Kangxiu, the beloved son, will soon die at the hands of Mrs. Beizhengsu, how will the general treat and dispose of Mrs. Beizhengsu?

As for leaving the lady of the Hokumassho, then the daimyo of 60,000 stones, Wakasa Ohama Castle Lord Hayakawa Katsutoshi

- Ah, that is, Hayakawa Kotokusa's own brother, the weak samurai family that survived by relying on his aunt, Mrs. Kitamasho, where will he go? ”

I looked at him, and there was a look of resentment in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but only picked up the jar in his hand and drank it himself.

I continued, "Speaking of which, there was originally a figure in the generation of the Hayakawa family, the left guard general Hayakawa Ningxi, who must be Brother Ling, I heard that he was very brave, and it was possible to revive the family's foundation, but unfortunately, Wei Yu died in the assassination of the castle,

Speaking of which, this matter is due to Cao Qin's personal planning?

If you hadn't designed to reveal Beiming's warship plan to Luo Wei, and designed Wei Fu's contact and espionage line with the lord of Yushan Island, even if the eldest princess was a genius, she wouldn't have been able to assassinate, divide, sneak attack, and win a few Luo Wei bosses' lives in the name of receiving Wei Fu's good name?

After all, it's Hayakawa that you ruined your family and master. ”

He still didn't speak, a pair of thin lips twitched on his pale face, and his thin body and clothes sang in harmony with the sound of the golden drum and robe outside the window.

However, he had already glanced at me, and did not say a word, but continued to drink.

"I originally wanted to talk to you about the conditions, but I didn't expect that you were a person with the heart of death, and you didn't want to talk to me about anything, in fact, you are so smart, you should know that Beiming is in chaos, and the benefits to Luo Wei may not be so great as to lose the country.

However, if this child is used to stir up civil strife in Luo Wei, first eradicate the wife of the North Political Office, and then tell the truth.

In fact, General Yasuhide has no ability to give birth to an heir at all, and that child was born of Yodohime's fornication with others, and I am afraid that no matter what aspect, the Hayakawa family can not even have powder ashes left. ”

After that, I waved my hand and threw a close-fitting sweat towel in my sleeve and a sachet embroidered with blue grass and cherry blossoms embroidered with Luo Wei small characters to him, "Actually, whether this child is alive or dead, is it from General Kangxiu, and what does it do to my Beiming affairs?"

It's just that someone has already stirred up my Beiming to bleed and drift, if I don't retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, it seems that my Beiming is a servile and weak country, and I can let others bully me. ”

Before I could finish speaking, he stood up sharply and smashed the flask, his handsome face panting, and said word by word, "What do you want".

"It depends on what the gentleman wants," I didn't move, just sat on the tatami with a smile, my fingers wandered around a few cases, and I clicked lightly, and the outsider took the order to bring the snow-capped mountain pigeon, and I put the pigeon on my hand and touched it left and right.

"Sir, do you want us to repay your lord with a palace fight and a bloody rain and a disaster for your family? Or do you want to help me Beiming calm down this chaos as soon as possible, and wait for the righteous people instigated by the queen mother and the eldest prince? ”

He was stunned for a moment, but let out a cold and miserable sneer:

"Do you think I'm just a mediocre genius who guesses people's hearts, causes He Yaolan and Fang Juncheng to be suspicious of each other, and then uses He Yaolan's power to instigate a coup?

With the foundation of the He family and Lao Liangshan, how could it be possible to set off a huge wave of the peasant army? ”

When he laughed even more miserably and loudly, and the fierce and resolute voice made me wonder whether the rosemary that I had already placed in the censer, and the Kagaruga in the jug, could be used together to shake the mind, he wept and continued:

"Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, but are you talking about me? The current situation is that I have taken advantage of the many loopholes in the Beiming Dynasty for many years, the people's hearts are unstable, the army's hearts are different, and the clever guidance of various problems has led to the outbreak with the hands of the eldest prince and the queen's mother, how can I extinguish this flame, and how can I save the family overturn? ”

When I saw his situation, my heart couldn't help but waver, but the moment I looked at his feet, I understood that this was all a deduction,

And he, Cao Qin, will definitely be able to help extinguish the spread of this war. So he gradually remained silent, and only squinted his eyes playfully at him.
