Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 28 Turning Hands into Fire (5)

The gates of Bianliang, the gate army now on duty, are nominally under Xiao Yan's command. However, it was not incorporated into the New Army. The total number of defenders of the gates is only more than a thousand. There are many gates in Bianliang City, scattered to each city gate, and even a hundred people are insufficient.

Originally, the Bianliang City Gate had not been closed for decades. On duty at the gate, there are few things to do. And in and out of the city gate, although pedestrians can't help it, but the merchants always have to check a little, and there are some benefits. Xiao Yan trained the new army, and his mind was focused on cultivating a field army, and he looked at this army very lightly, and he didn't spend much effort to rectify it. It turned out that the people who were born in the forbidden army of Gongwei, but they all competed for the position of the gate army, and after withstanding the dispatch of the old forbidden army of the original Dumen, they have lived a very nourishing life in the past two months.

Xiao Yan is mostly outside the city, and he wants to restrain the military horses that enter the camp. The gate army is here, and basically doesn't care about it. And Bianliang is now damaged by the pivot of the city gate, all kinds of sundries are piled up, the defense facilities such as the iron gate are in vain, the door can not be closed, and the suspension bridge on the moat has become a stone bridge.

These men have been in Bianliang City for a long time, and there are not many people on the upper value, but they can play around in three streets and six cities on the lower value. It is very convenient for the princes of the DPRK and the Central Committee to use the Kaifeng Mansion, a channel to deal with the entire Bianliang, to win over and mobilize the Bianliang army.

There are more than 1,000 soldiers here, and it may come in handy when it is urgent.

But what use they will have in the end, even the people who woo them can't say.

Tonight, after the sky was dark and there were fewer people coming and going. The gate army of the South Smoke Gate. and coaxed the meeting to the east. Everybody pays for it. I made two jars of wine mixed with a little water. Put out five bowls and twelve plates, and the fruits in spring are cheap, and there are a lot of piles. It was lively in the duty rooms at each door.

In fact, it is not only the Nanxun Gate, but also more than ten city gates in Bianliang, half of which are poured every day, and there is such a scene of indulgence in wine at night.

Although the people who defend the forbidden army have endured a lot of hardship, they still have not experienced war for decades, and they have also grown up in the big dye vat of the gate forbidden army. It's just that the door is not as hard as others. Once turned over, in addition to some of them being honest, there are also some smart people who can control themselves, or people who are desperate to serve King Yan and want to win a higher status with a knife and a gun, and be the new minister of the dragon. More people immediately picked up the habit of the old capital's gate control army.

There was too little time left for Xiao Yan to bring this new army to the battlefield and sharpen them with blood and fire. The fate of this army, which has only been established for a long time, can only be eliminated naturally in the great changes of the situation at this time, and see who continues to sink. Let's see who can stand out from the rancidness.

A late drink. After eating for more than an hour, it still hasn't gone. In the room, the military man was still drinking freely. A few of them were too drunk, already drunk, and fell there all over the place, snoring loudly.

One of them was holding a large bowl and boasting in the noise of the crowd: "............ Don't be coaxed, I have the ability to drink this wine, and I will let you only bow down when I come out a little! If it wasn't for the mistake of this wine, it wouldn't have been sent to the Gongwei Forbidden Army! Other doors are exaggerated, there is one who is exhausted by one catty, there is two catties, and even at the water gate, Wang Er is exhausted by six catties! If you want me to say, what is this bird? One bowl in the hand and two bowls on the table, the total is seven catties. Open your bird's eyes wide, I'm dry, and see that there are still people talking here in our Nanxunmen! ”

A group of soldiers took their mouths, but they just looked at it, and the head was really like a long whale sucking water, and they were about to pick up another bowl after bowl, and they drank so much that the mountains were shaking!

When the crowd was full of shock, a military man suddenly rushed in outside, but he went out to relieve himself, and at this time his face was flushed, and he roared: "King Yan's mansion and Taishang are on fire!" ”

With a poof, the head was full of wine and sprinkled a rain of flowers, spraying everyone in the room. Where can all the soldiers take care of this, and they staggered out of the duty room after looking at each other.

The so-called duty room, is in the city gate tower, out of the city wall is on the wall, look at the past, outside the south gate, the palace of King Yan and the Taishang are in, sure enough, the fire is everywhere!

And the barracks outside the south gate, although they are far away, they can also see the flames, rushing out of the camp gate dots by stars, and rising in two places towards the palace of King Yan and Taishang.

Inside and outside the Nanxun Gate, the people were also alarmed, and there was a sound of closing the door. And the pedestrians who are still on the street, holding their heads and running home. No one has the leisure to watch the excitement.

The last time the second palace changed in February, it was also a fire outside the city. As a result, tens of thousands of people were in chaos in the city, the emperor abdicated, and the three kings became the new kings. A group of people from the forbidden army's family were cut to the ground.

Today, the fire is on fire again, and the people who are disturbed are no longer those who are already ordinary people, but the Bianliang Shenwu Victorious Army with armor and soldiers!

Not to mention that the times are tense and far more tense than before. Even many people in Bianliang understand in their hearts, who knows what kind of big things will happen once they have an attack!

In this gate, many people know that there will be chaos in the near future, and they are ready to participate in the mutiny, because no matter how you count King Yan, you can't win this game. But there is no news yet, why is there such a familiar one?

The soldiers on the city gate only felt cold and at a loss, and they didn't know what to do. The cowardly and obedient have already anointed the soles of their feet and slipped down the city wall. He who has a home is home. The Bianliang mutiny also had an advantage, they were all local natives, except for the really unlucky, they rarely harassed the people in the city, and they were all bad luck for the big people on the losing side of the battle. If you go home and close your door, you can get through it safely, just wait for the final winner to come out.

At this time, I saw a group of people coming from afar in the city, running out of breath on the street, but they were the people who were in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion. I'm afraid that the first one is still a small election official, and he doesn't run slowly at all with his robe tucked up. These people from afar shouted, "Close the gates!" Close the gates! ”

The head who claimed to be going to drink seven catties of wine in one breath looked at each other. How to close the gates of this bird city, you should try it!

A copper-clad city gate weighs thousands of catties, and the people often use false rumors as jack gates. In fact, the jack gate is just a kind of defense facility in the urn city. This kind of gate is often opened and closed with a winch. The city gate of Bianliang has not been closed for decades, and it has long been rusted to death. The doorway is wide though. Enough for pedestrians and caravans. But on both sides. There are also many clutter piles up. It turned out that the suspension bridge outside the Nanxun Gate has also become a stone bridge. Where do we start to close the gates of this city and cut off internal and external contacts?

The people in the city rushed desperately here, and the sound of carriages and horses sounded outside the city at this time. More than 20 cars were lit with butter torches on the front, and the carriages with the banner of Yanwangfu were rushing towards the door!

In addition to the driver, there is also a man in armor in each car. It was Yan Wangzhi who was straight, holding a long lance, standing next to the driver, the blade was shining cold, just waiting for someone to dare to stop him, he would open a transparent hole for him!

Those with fast eyes can see even more that in the car window, something like a crossbow machine sticks out, and the crossbow arrow has been wound. Just out the window and dare to block this team!

Even without the armor and the crossbow machine sticking out of the window, this convoy is not something that can be stopped by idlers. The carts are all heavy trucks for merchants to travel long distances. The wheels are nailed and clad with iron, and the materials are doubled than ordinary cars, which are unusually strong. The carts were all horses of the gods, and they had already run away at this moment, rolling over like thunder. The iron-clad wooden wheel rubs against the stone ground at high speed, which is the spark splashing all the way!

Between the stunned eyes of everyone, the team of chariots and horses crashed into the Nanxun Gate, and the people who hurried to shout to close the door jumped to the side of the road, for fear that they would be one step slower, either crushed in two, or a hole in their throats, and ventilated at both ends.

The follow-up dozen cars, every time they passed through the city gate, they threw out fire oil bottles, and the last car threw torches. How much debris in the two gates and the city gate cave suddenly burst into flames. The flames rose from the sky and illuminated the Bianliang city wall!

In the blink of an eye, the convoy was over. Go straight to the direction of the Imperial City Forbidden Center!

The junior and junior official of Kaifeng Mansion who hid on the side of the road and didn't dare to come out jumped out again at this time, pointed at the gate army in a daze on the city wall and scolded: "Quickly put out the fire, close the door!" If you don't close the door again, everyone will lose their heads tonight! ”

In the midst of the smoke and flames, a group of soldiers rushed down the city wall, each looking for equipment to extinguish the fire.

The inner walls of the city gate cave are all built with stones, and the inside is steamed rammed earth, and it is impossible for the fire to be extended. But with the help of the oil and oil, the two huge city gates and how many sundries burned like charcoal stoves, and it was difficult to get close, and the water poured on it was a puff of green smoke. If you don't wait for the gates and debris to burn down, where can you stop?

And even if you desperately put out the fire, this city gate still can't be closed by a thief!

Just when everyone was anxious, in the direction of the West Gate, the fire rose into the sky again. Presumably, there was also a detachment of men and horses entering the city, and by the way, the city gate was burned. In Bianliang City, there are people running home in chaos all around, the original lights are not at night, and the lights are extinguished one after another, and the guests rush out of the door. In the screams of exclamation, it will not be long before the city will become as quiet as a ghost, and families will be closed, ready to rescue the clear water and river sand in case of fire. Just to survive tonight, and wait for tomorrow when all parties in the battle between the DPRK and China will decide the winner.

At a time when Bianliang City is a little familiar with dealing with the chaos caused by the night, the noise outside the city is getting louder and stronger!

The Nanxunmen Army, while resisting the urge to run away, was desperately trying to put out the fire under the urging of the superintendent. At this time, outside the city gate, the sound of thunder horses' hooves sounded again!

The soldiers are almost crying, and the mothers are still coming?

A group of military men immediately threw down the fire-fighting equipment in their hands and scattered, and the little officials who were doing public affairs also hid under the roadside porch, staring at a pair of eyes just looking at what kind of person rushed in.

The smoke suddenly parted in both directions, and the neighing of the horses was heard. The first person to break in with smoke and fire turned out to be Xiao Yan, the king of Yan who was covered in armor!

On Xiao Yan's upright figure, there is still a trace of smoke rising. He is dressed in black armor, and the white hair on the sideburns is particularly eye-catching. And in the hand of King Yan, he also carried a black and heavy horse lance, the blade was shining, and the mane of the mount under the crotch was flying.

The soldiers who fled and peeked around fell to the ground as soon as their legs were weak, and none of them dared to raise their heads. When did a few people in Kaifeng Mansion see such a godlike image as King Yan? I just felt that the crotch of my pants was hot, and I peed out.

Dozens of soldiers also crossed the fireworks and went straight into the city. There was a hint of rising white gas on everyone's bodies, and many armorers also buckled up a hideous iron mask, and the black opening was also smoking!

It's like a killing god that suddenly emerges from a group of flames!

It's just that these dozens of horses and Xiao Yan are here, this city that has been soft and rich for more than a hundred years, can't help but tremble!

Xiao Yan's cold and electric eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Go, go to the forbidden middle!" ”

In the shouting, dozens of horsemen shook the reins and galloped away, and the hooves hit the bluestone road, and the same sparks splashed all the way!

For a long time after Xiao Yan went, all kinds of people hiding around didn't dare to move.

Until today, these people have truly understood what kind of sharp and vicious spirit King Yan has!

In a trance, a shout from outside the city faintly came: "The prince has been embraced!" The Western Army is coming to help! Enter Bianliang to punish Xiao thief! ”

The petty official finally reacted, jumped into the middle of the street, raised his hands and shouted like crazy: "Xiao Thief is defeated!" The thief is defeated! The Western Army is coming! The Western Army is coming! ”

He shouted wildly as he ran to the door soldiers who were still prostrate on the ground, and dragged them to their feet with kicks and beatings: "Xiao thief is defeated!" Quickly extinguish the fire and welcome the army into the city! Do you still want this wealth? ”

He kicked and hit the head of the army, and the head slowly raised his head, still maintaining a bowing posture, and slowly shook his head in the excited and crazy shouts of the little official: "You can't win............"

"That's King Yan!"

The little official couldn't pull him, but he was so excited that he was dizzy, and he was already out of control, and he jumped back to the center of the street again, raising his arms and shouting: "Xiao thief is defeated!" Go to the Imperial City to kill the thief! ”

The shouts were heard in the distance, echoing through the long street. Echo the shouts from outside the city. The people in Bianliang gradually heard the sound from near and far clearly.

Many people in the bureau seem to have finally reacted from this sudden overwhelm.

Is the Western Army really coming? Is Xiao Yan really defeated?

I don't know how many people have risen up, it depends on the difference, this is a great wealth. Now that the Great Song Dynasty has set a precedent, Xiao Thief has failed, and the people who have contributed to it have to seal a few more princes! Even if the prince has no share, the position of the high election in the court may not be able to compete?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cai Xiangfuzhong.

Cai Jing sat in the inner study, and there was no one around to wait. Even the beloved maids rushed to the porch outside the house.

All the confidants around him were sent out to spread the news. There is only one content, no matter how Xiao Yan tosses tonight, everyone just doesn't move!

Because the Western Army did not come! Xiao Yan has already prepared!

It's a pity that the news that the Western Army has not arrived came too late. I just received it, and Xiao Yan has already launched it!

Is this number of luck really only fond of this southern-born son?

The shouts from outside faintly came into the room. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Cai Jing's mouth.

Doctors and scholars, won't they be stupid enough to be fooled again? (To be continued......)
