Yan Wuxian watched as the short arrow he shot while waiting for an opportunity and exhausted his efforts did not hit Kong Zhongyi, who was sitting under the tea shed, and sighed in his heart: It's not time for the young man to turn around!

But sighing to sighing, at this time he couldn't continue to be annoyed - according to the original plan, it should be time to "open the door and give gifts"!

At this time, he still remembered how Liu Ke, who was famous for defending the city, had a certain death mentality and talked to them about how to "abandon the city".

"Are you afraid of death?" Just as the eight of them were about to go out to set up military affairs, he asked with a sneer.

Afraid? This is simply an insult to the eighth lieutenant! In Yan Wufang's opinion, even if he doubted, it was unforgivable, he was about to throw off his arms and fight with Liu Ke after hearing it, but fortunately, the oldest lieutenant among the eight people next to him, Kuai Tong, stopped him and said, "This is not usual!" ”

Yes, this time is different from usual, in less than a day, the Guan Rao rebel army will break through the city and kill all the people in the city, the top priority is not to worry about whether to die or not, but as Liu Ke said, we should consider "how to bite off a bite of meat before dying".

"Yan Wufang, the captain of the shooting voice, in just a few years in the army, he has achieved the position of the eighth captain of the capital city from a soldier, which is really amazing, making a precise 'eyebrow arrow', it is said that this arrow is only two eyebrows long, but the power is amazing, especially your magic skills of piercing Yang in a hundred steps, and there is no false hair, many times to save the emperor in danger, Liu Kexin yearns for it." Liu Ke was not in a hurry, stood up and looked at the eight people one by one.

"Kuaitong, the veteran of the eighth captain, the lieutenant of the middle base, if I remember correctly, you should be retiring next year, right? The emperor praised you for being upright in your mind and capable of commanding the three armies......"

"Xiang Liangce, haha, called 'Liangce', is actually just a reckless man, invincible in the rush to kill and plunder, Captain Huben."

"Lord Lin, Captain Tuncai......"

……

Listening to him pass everyone one by one, everyone didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, and they were stunned for a while.

"General Liu, if you have something to say directly, we are all under the grace of the former emperor, and we will donate seven feet of body!" Kuaitong knew that Liu Ke must have already made a plan when he said this at this time, so he asked at the moment.

"You might as well say it clearly," Taking a deep breath, Liu Ke looked at the few people in front of him, and said: "The first emperor was assassinated overnight, and the reputation of the eighth lieutenant was ruined, even if I don't say it, you know that now is the day of blood and shame, and the first thing I need the cooperation of the generals is ......"

As he spoke, he pointed to several Shangshu adults present: "Kill them!" ”

Kill them? Liu Ke must be crazy!

Yan Wufang and a few people were about to scold on the spot when they heard this, but they didn't expect that the calmest people at this time were the ministers headed by Dou Shuting, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"General Liu has decided to do this?" Dou Shuting didn't have the slightest fear and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Dou!" Hearing this, Liu Ke felt a slight pain in his heart, but still insisted: "My lord doesn't know how cruel the soldiers are, at this time, if everyone is martyred here, it's okay to say, if it falls into the hands of the other party - I'm afraid that all the adults won't be able to stand it, and they will say what they shouldn't say and do what they shouldn't do...... Thank you for your cooperation! As he spoke, he knelt with his fists clenched, but his face was no longer strong to rise again.

"General Liu is also afraid that our group of old men will spread the news that the enemy army will arrive within a day when they come out of this gate, and make the people's hearts unstable, right?" Master Huo of the Criminal Department was also surprisingly calm, turned his head and whispered to several old ministers next to him for a while, and when he turned around, his face was full of determination.

"It is also a way to sacrifice one's life for the country, the generals have their own ways of sacrificing their lives, and several of us also have ways to sacrifice our lives as civilian officials...... I am not afraid of death. As he spoke, he motioned for Dou Shuting to continue.

"The sage has a saying, the parents of the body and the skin, today we will die if we defend the city, we are already disloyal people, I implore all the generals to fulfill our filial piety and give us a decent way to die!" When Dou Shuting said this, he seemed to be talking about the death of others, not only in a calm tone, but also with a ball of kindness on his face.

"Liu Ke knows that it will be difficult to avoid the difficulties of the capital today, so in today's battle, the defense of the city is false, and the head of the owl is real! If any of the people present here today survive, they will bring the heads of the thieves to the graves and offer a bowl of wine, please be relieved!! After choking up, he stood up and ordered Lord Lin to lead Jiujo and one zhang white silk to send the adults on the road, and then left the palace without looking back, and went straight to the city.

Although Liu Ke left, "defending the city is false, and the head of the owl is real" also made these people's eyes shine. That's what he intended, how could he bite off a piece of meat from the rebels? Defending a city gate with thousands of men can only withstand a few impacts, and the more realistic question remains: why did the people in the city stay in the city even if they knew that they would die without leaving the city? It's just that they want to fall with this city and perish with this country!

The so-called can drag on for a while, joke! At this time, who can still care about the capital city? Isn't no one already planning a way out after the fall of the capital - is it to support the Song clan or to support the army? Is it to be a loyal minister of Hou Shu or to be the next one, maybe the lord of a country in the Wei Dynasty, the Guan Dynasty, and the Xi Dynasty? No one will come to the rescue!

Therefore, it is better to concentrate on the opposite direction, and when the enemy is focused on attacking the city, the commander in chief of the various armies can do a good job.

"General, three hundred people is too few, it's better to bring a few more people......" Yan Wuxian glanced at his lieutenant general, that soldier who always called himself a veteran in the army, although he usually fought against himself many times, but everyone knew that he was a straight-tempered person, and there was no way to do it if he looked so good that he hated it - at this time, this person looked at him with a face, full of worry but made Yan Wuxian happy in his heart: "There is not much difference between bringing three hundred people and bringing five hundred people, it is better to leave it to you to guard the city for a while, Watch me lead my brothers to cut off the man's head, and then turn around and invite you to drink!" ”

As he spoke, he ignored what others said, and directly beckoned the people to get ready.

Arrange for Yan Wufang to guard the Gate of Heaven, Liu Ke considered that the important people of the enemy army would definitely not give the fat of the Gate of Heaven to others, as long as he came to get it in person, then with Yan Wufang's eyebrow arrow, it was very likely to kill with one blow!

He was right to think about it this way, but I don't know if God intended to arrange it this way, Kong Zhongyi, who originally didn't plan to go out in person, really chose to come from Tianmen, and although Yan Wufang shot not Kong Zhongyi, but for Guan Rao's anti-army, Kong Xiang, who is still the No. 1 important person - the youngest son of Kong Zhongman in Raozhou!

In order to be able to take care of each other with Yan Wufang, Liu Ke chose to defend the Dimen in person - more precisely, he chose to kill the anti-army generals who came to attack the Dimen.

When Yan Wufang's eyebrow-raising arrow hit the center of Kong Xiang's eyebrows and killed him on the spot, Liu Ke had already put on his battle armor and led more than 300 guards to gather at the city gate.

Suddenly, the heavy city gate made a long sigh-like "squeak" sound, Liu Ke knew that this was the signal that the deputy general of the city had ordered the city gate to open the city gate and attack when the old power was not leaked and the new power was not born between the two groups of sieges.

In an instant, his blood was high, and the ochre-red iron spear in his hand pointed forward, and when the two doors opened a wide gap for horses to sweep out, he shouted angrily, "Kill!" And he rushed out first!

More than 300 iron horsemen behind him came out one after another, calmly and wide-eyed, and slashed and stabbed at the stunned heads like chopping melons.

Unlike Liu Ke's team, the Hongdao Gate guarded by Xiang Liangce had no intention of killing the other party by surprise from the beginning.

Xiang Liangce had already divided the more than 2,000 people he had assigned to him into two before the arrival of the enemy, 500 of them returned to Kuaitong to defend the city, and the remaining 1,500 people followed him to the outside of the city to line up and wait for the enemy to come.

Moreover, the soldiers of the two of them were different from the others, and it stands to reason that if they wanted to charge the enemy's tent, they would never have been able to do it without cavalry—if they had only relied on infantry to charge and kill, they would have been shot into hedgehogs by the enemy before they had saved half the distance.

But Xiang Liangce's 700 heavy infantry is still there! Heavy infantry is often criticized for its poor mobility, fast consumption, passivity, etc., but this is a treasure in Xiang Liangce's eyes. In his opinion, hard-hitting and strong against strong are what hot-blooded men should love, like Yan Wufang's kind of cold arrows in the back, he doesn't like it very much.

It seems that it is the favor of God, and sure enough, he is also looking forward to a team of heavy infantry.

The commander of the enemy was still glad that he brought heavy infantry to attack the city, no matter what, the heavy infantry is familiar with the siege battle, maybe the person who broke the inner city first is himself, and when the time comes, what kind of queue do you need to take care of when you enter the city, and you will grab the fast horse and go straight to the palace of Dashu!

However, to his surprise, under the city gate in front of him, the other party was clearly in a posture of wanting to fight an "encounter"!

"Listen!" Seeing that the army finally came forward, Xiang Liangce shouted: "If you kill us, you can enter the city!" After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and directly forced forward step by step.

At this time, Kuaitong who was guarding the city was not idle, when Xiang Liangce went out of the city, he ordered people not to close the city gate, at this time, seeing the phalanx of more than 1,000 people braving the rain of arrows step by step to approach the phalanx of the other party ten times his own, he couldn't care about the sourness in his heart, and asked coldly: "Is the hot oil boiled?" ”

"General, all the twenty cauldrons have been boiled, and the brothers have specially collected chili peppers, peppercorns and other things, wrapped them into small sacs and thrown them in." One of the people next to him smiled and replied proudly.

"Not bad!" Kuaitong rarely laughed out loud, "If the other party doesn't believe in the rhetoric of the good policy, it's okay, if he really believes that he can still enter the city safely after killing my siblings, then it's not a pity to die!" ”

Saying this, his eyes became dim: he has always disdained to use these small means, so the emperor praised himself for "being upright in his chest", but he didn't expect that the last battle of his life still couldn't survive the unwillingness in his heart, and he also wanted to find ways to pit others and find others' bad luck.

I don't know, is this considered to be "negative grace" again?
