"I only have people who died in battle in Guanzhou, and there are no people who survived!" Looking at the enemy soldiers staring at the city gate behind him like wolves, Hu Huang felt a burst of compassion in his heart: I'm afraid this city can't be defended!

Swallowing his spit, moistening his chapped throat, he drew his sword and shouted to the other side, "If you want to enter the city, you can do it, but you must step on us!" ”

"Step over us!" Although most of the less than 100 people behind him already needed two or three people to support each other to stand firmly, when they shouted these words, they did not have the decadence of the injured at all, and although their voices were sparse, they all fought with all their strength to hear shockingly!

The generals of the other party were also deeply infected by the pride of these dozens of people in front of them, but his soldiers were not touched at all, and his admiration for expressing respect had not yet been revealed, and those people on the other side were pushed down, trampled, ignored, and captured in a pair of golden eyes.

It was almost a one-sided war, but the victorious side, except for the one who rushed into the city first, did not retain this joy for long. Not long after, when the news spread throughout the army, almost all of them could not raise the slightest sense of pleasure.

All the warships in the city, except for the one that had already gone to sea, the rest of the dozens had all turned into black fragments at this time, some were still flashing with sparks and green smoke, and some were planted in the water, gathering in groups of three or five to pout their buttocks, mockingly towards the people on the shore who were as silent as death.

Although he has been worried about the situation in front of him, when he saw it with his own eyes and confirmed the doubts in his heart, Kong Zhongyi still found it difficult to accept.

However, this sense of frustration only lasted for a few breaths, and he settled down and said to several generals beside him: "Hurry up and rest, collect all the weapons that can be used in the city, and do your best to repair the city gates and city walls!" ”

This command is tantamount to telling the people: We must defend this city to the death!

Although these lieutenants did not say anything to their faces, Kong Zhongyi knew that once Song Changgong's army really poured into the city in an overwhelming manner, these individuals were most likely to become disgruntled and two-hearted.

But right now, there's no way to stop it from happening. Although he was full of hatred for the two Di families in his heart, judging from the situation at this time, he still couldn't help but nod his head and admire: this practice of burning everything that can be burned is indeed the most advantageous way to do it after a desperate gamble, although the profit is not necessarily himself, but the victim must be someone else - and he, Kong Zhongyi, became the "other person" who was killed immediately after entering the city.

Where else is there to collect? All the weapons were destroyed, there was not much food in the first place, and all of them were moved to the ship, as for the people...... This was originally an empty city, but at this time, it has only returned to its original appearance, and it is even more impossible to think of people coming out of thin air.

The soldiers who knew this point were all out of energy, and Kong Zhongyi could even guess that the reason why they continued to spare no effort to search the big and small corners of the city at this time, and the reason why they repaired the city wall and city gate step by step was just because they couldn't twist the long sword with cold light in their general's hand!

In such a situation, the defeat of the heart is worse than the defeat of the army, and he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart. However, at present, it is obvious that there are still many more urgent things than sadness, such as arranging for those who still have combat strength to withdraw from Dingdu City as soon as possible, and return to Raozhou in a roundabout way and disperse to the surrounding cities; For example, sending an envoy to contact Song Changgong was called peace talks, but it was also a move to delay the army out of helplessness; For example, the intention of protecting the whole grandson, try not to affect the relationship between his Confucian family and the royal court; Another example, arranging his own posthumous affairs, two expeditions before and after are unfavorable, if this time he still relies on the protection of the family and does not give an explanation to the people in the state, I am afraid that his Kong family will not be defeated by the Di family on the side, but by his own people......

There are a lot of things, and they have to be the same, so he has a little bit of a mind in his heart, and first gathered all the lieutenant generals, explained the matters one by one, and told them to do it.

Song Changgong was actually not in a hurry to rush to Dingdu City at this time, although he had the slightest intention to kill the enemy that was not weaker than others, but considering some unknown things, he always had to make some appropriate attitudes to conform to his identity.

Although Mofu and Tamiya had already changed their methods to urge three or four times, he still hurried slowly - of course, this "slow and leisurely" was only compared to the rapid march, and if he marched according to the normal situation, his 50,000-horse advance army was already relatively fast.

"Report!"

The voice outside the door was short and powerful, but Song Changgong still heard the unusual tone of the whole army, except for the person named Tian Gong in the whole army, there was really no second person who could still have such a lazy tone when he met the commander of the first army.

However, even Mo Fu has no way to deal with Tian Miya's tone, first of all, his tone is only visible when Mo Fu is not present, and secondly, although the tone is old and improper, but when it comes to handling things, it is impossible to find fault with it. Therefore, although Mo Fu has heard others describe Tian Gong like this a few times, there is actually no difference between saying it and not saying it, it is better to let him go, and let him live a casual life!

"General Tian doesn't have to be polite, just come in." He cleared his throat.

As soon as the words fell, I saw that as soon as the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Tian Gong, who was dressed in silver armor, flashed into the car, and asked first before Song Changgong could speak: "How does the handsome feel this way?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

The reason why Song Changgong is called the marshal is because when Song Changgong decided to come to the capital in person, Mo Fu resolutely returned the commander's handsome seal, and the whole army now knows about it, and Tian Gong's question is just a normal name.

"It's all to blame for the willfulness of this king, not to mention slowing down the march, and letting the soldiers worry, I really regret not being at the beginning! It's really not angry in this body...... Cough! Ahem......" With a look of guilt on his face, he pretended to be uncomfortable and coughed lightly, and simply pretended to be sick to the end.

"It's because we didn't think it through, everyone wants to regain the lost ground quickly, first, we don't understand your same urgent feelings, and second, these people are rough people, and they never know how to take care of people......" Tamiya chuckled, looking closely at his face, it was not difficult to find that although his face was full of smiles at this time, there was no joy in his eyes.

This is the case when I laugh on weekdays, and it is still the case at this time.

"I wonder what General Tian is here for? Could it be that General Mofu has some arrangements? Quietly, Song Changgong asked.

"There is no new arrangement for the arrangement, according to the current speed, at most there will be one hour to reach the outside of the Dingdu City, and then only a strong attack will be required, and it is expected that the people in the city will soon be disunited." Speaking of this, Tian Gong smiled again: "It's just that there is one thing that you still need to decide. ”

"Oh? What's up? With you and General Mo, this march and battle will be all up to you, and there is no need to tell the king...... What the hell is going on? Although the power is handed over to others, Song Changgong is not a material to be a sage and a wise man, and he still hopes that he can say a few words and play a role in some things.

"The city of Dingdu sent people, saying that they wanted to make peace." As expected, he was asked, and Tamiya bowed his head.

"Dingdu City? Did he say which side he represents? Frowning slightly, Song Changgong was secretly glad in his heart that he had asked, otherwise he might have lost important information.

"It is said that it represents the Confucian family in Raozhou...... I want to come to Brother Hua...... Thinking that Mr. Lai Chou's strategy has worked, according to him, as long as Kong Zhongyi allows it to be done in the Dingdu City. There was a slight pause in his tone, and Tamiya smiled.

"Mr. Chou really lives up to the trust, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this person has 100,000 soldiers against me!" With a word of admiration, Song Changgong turned his head again and said, "Where is that messenger now?" ”

"I've gone back." Tamiya's tone froze, and finally he still stubbornly said.

"Back to ...... Went back? Song Changgong was shocked: "Didn't the other party come to talk about peace?" Why haven't you talked about achievements yet? ”

"This ......" Tian Gong smiled bitterly: "The soldiers in the army are very excited at this time, because they have been holding their breath in Zhenzhou for several months, and at this time, they will not be able to fight the battle that is about to be fought because of this statement...... Taking advantage of the general's inattention, he even roared in fright, and had already driven the man back......"

"What!" When Song Changgong heard this, he couldn't help but sit up from the car, but because the car itself was not high, this stop hit his head on the roof of the car. This small episode made Song Changgong's originally anxious feelings calm down, and looking at Tian Gong's helpless look, he held the crown on his head, sat down and was silent.

"Right now, the general is carrying out the punishment, if the commander thinks that the eighty military sticks are inappropriate, Tian Miya will go back and sue sù......"

"No need!" Song Changgong sighed and said: "How is the military law in the army stipulated, then how to deal with it, there is no need to deliberately ...... it" After speaking, he blamed himself: "Although the other party came to sue for peace, but the disaster of slaughtering the city and the shame of seizing the city that day is how much silver he paid, and many small benefits cannot be compensated...... Unexpectedly, even the soldiers in the army knew the king's intentions...... In this way, that person should not be punished, but he needs to be rewarded! ”

"Never!" Tian Gong was slightly flustered after hearing this, and hurriedly objected: "Military law has a set of regulations of military law, even if it is out of good intentions, there is still a set of procedures that need to be implemented, in case everyone makes decisions without authorization, then our hard-trained elite soldiers will become skirmishers fighting on their own, no matter how brave and fierce they are, it is useless...... Please think again! ”

"You have a point." Nodding slightly, Song Changgong said again: "Then I won't pursue it, just forget it after receiving the eighty military sticks!" ”

"Yes!" Tamiya bowed his head in response, turned around and was about to retreat.

"In addition, pass on the order of the commander, go at full speed and go straight to the capital!" When he said this, Song Changgong already had a solemn look, and he was like two people.

Tian Miya's heart moved slightly, but his face was overjoyed: "Order!" “
