The defender of Nankang in Yanjing City is Lin Zhishan, the commander of the guard of the infantry team of the volcano battalion, although he already knows that the Northwest Army is coming to the city, but the Northwest Army is gathered under the city of Xipingen, until now, he has not even seen the shadow of the Northwest Army in the city of Nankangen.

Just like most people, on such a cold night, everyone's Jing spirit is relatively relaxed, and even the defending army is a little cold and can't stand it, not to mention that the Northwest Army will attack the city at such a time.

Moreover, the main siege direction of the Northwest Army was Xipingen, and Nankangen had not felt any pressure until now.

Lin Zhishan is already old.

He was over fifty years old, and the bags under his eyes were a little thick, perhaps because he had been worried all these days, and he had been guarding the city day and night, and had not rested well.

As a veteran, he is a standard soldier, strict with orders from above, and serious and kind to his subordinates.

As the leader of the Volcano Battalion and the prince's descendant, Lin Zhishan has always been loyal to the prince, but the second prince also trusts him extremely and respects him very much.

This time the mutiny, the prince did not say too much to him, just asked him to cooperate with Tang Mingwu's action, although he felt that it was very strange, but as a standard soldier, the prince did not say much, he did not ask much, just strictly followed the prince's instructions, cooperated with Tang Mingwu, and launched a mutiny on that day, and he personally guarded Nankang en here.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't look for too much information, and from the moment the Volcano Battalion took over the defense of Jiuen and took control of Dongcheng, he knew very well that what the prince was planning was a big thing.

Lin Zhishan, who has gone through too many things, only had one sentence in his heart at that time: "If you succeed, you will be king, and if you fail, you will be a villain!" ”

……

Although he felt that it was impossible for the Northwest Army to launch an attack on such a cold night, and it was unlikely that Nankang would be the focus of the attack, Lin Zhishan still came to the city in armor in the middle of the night.

The Imperial Forest Army is the top of the Yan Kingdom in terms of weapons and equipment, with warm cotton clothes inside and double armor outside, which can withstand the wind and cold.

It's just that the cold wind is fierce, and almost all the faces of the soldiers at the head of the city are blown into xa mouths by the cold wind.

Lin Zhishan, accompanied by two generals, walked along the city wall for a while, and suddenly, the old man's eyes showed a strange light, stopped, turned his head, and looked out of the city.

Under the pitch-black sky, there seemed to be no movement.

But the veteran who has been through countless battles has a strong vigilance, a strange feeling used in his heart, he closed his eyes, listened attentively, the wind was gusting, but he heard a strange sound from the wind.

Lin Zhishan's hand couldn't help but grasp the hilt of the knife at his waist, slowly walked to the battlements, and looked out of the city with a solemn face.

Seeing this, the generals behind him looked at each other, all of them were quite strange, and they followed behind, also following Lin Zhishan's gaze, looking out of the city.

Soon, they saw a scene of astonishment, and saw a burst of fire suddenly light up in the distance, and the light of the fire moved rapidly, and was coming in the direction of the city.

"Enemy attack!" One of the generals gasped.

Lin Zhishan frowned, he did not show horror, but was extremely calm, and with a wave of his hand, the general next to him immediately ordered the soldiers next to him to blow the horn, which was an early warning horn.

The soldiers at the head of the city of Nankang were immediately blown away from sleep by the sound of the horn, and instantly woke up, and immediately acted, the archers took their bows, and the soldiers of the crossbow tower were also ready to meet the enemy.

The light of the fire was approaching, and the soldiers at the head of the city could see clearly that the people who came were only a few dozen cavalry, and there were not many formations.

Seeing the dozens of cavalry approaching the edge of the city, the archers had already bent their bows and arrows at the comers.

Lin Zhishan didn't give the order to release the arrows, just pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, put the other hand on the battlement, and stared at a silver-armored general in the middle of the cavalry.

The cavalry finally stopped, and there was silence for a while, and after a while, the defenders of the city heard a clear voice from the city: "Is the head of the city General Lin?" ”

Lin Zhishan is only a commander of the army, and he has not been awarded the title of general, and the other party calls him "General Lin", which is naturally a respectful title.

Lin Zhishan said in a deep voice: "It's the general, who are you?" ”

But he saw the silver-armored general in the team urging the horse to take a few steps forward, and then heard him say in a loud voice: "Senior Han Mo, I have seen General Lin!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a stir in the city, and many people were shocked.

Han Mo led the Northwest Army to the city, and almost all the defenders knew that in the middle of the night at this time, Han Mo led dozens of horsemen to come to the city in person, which was really surprising.

Lin Zhishan was obviously a little surprised, but he instantly regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "Han Mo, you led your army to the city, intending to rebel, how can you be worthy of the Holy Grace**?" If you still have a loyal heart and ask for sin, I will intercede with the Holy One. Young people are occasionally impulsive, not unforgivable, but not unforgiving! ”

Han Mo shook his head, looked at Lin Zhishan at the head of the city, and said loudly: "Old General Lin, Han Mo has heard of your character, you are a loyal and righteous veteran, although there are many rights and wrongs in this world It is difficult to tell, but this time who is right and wrong, I don't think it is difficult to see." Whether I, Han Mo, am a rebel and a thief or a loyal minister of King Qin, there is no need to argue, the old general has a scale in his heart. ”

Lin Zhishan frowned, but did not speak.

Han Mo pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Han Mo came here tonight, just a few words to General Lin. ”

Lin Zhishan took his hand away from the hilt of the knife, put both hands on the battlements, and said, "You say! ”

"The soldiers who mutinied in the city were blinded by some people with ulterior motives. They are all warriors of Dayan, the Northwest Army and the Royal Forest Army, they are brothers in comrades, and they are also where my Dayan's combat power lies. Han Mozheng said: "Old General Lin doesn't want to watch my Dayan's warriors kill each other because of the evil intentions of some people?" In the face of the enemy, they died on the battlefield, and the heroes belonged, but they killed each other in blood and blood, and their comrades fought hard and drained the blood of the warriors, how cruel was it to them? Old General Lin, would you like to see them die under the sword of their own people? ”

Lin Zhishan clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and sighed with emotion, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Han Mo, don't be a fool of yourself." Raise troops to be luan, you are guilty of great crimes, and you dare to talk nonsense here. I, Lin Zhishan, don't take advantage of the danger of others, you retreat, if you want to attack the city, you will wait here! ”

Han Mo shook his head and sighed, and said in a loud voice: "Old General Lin, you are foolish!" ”

"Don't say anything more!" Lin Zhishan said in a deep voice: "Han Mo, if you don't retreat, Hugh will be ruthless!" He took the bow and arrow from a soldier next to him, bent the bow and arrow, and aimed it at Han Mo.

Han Mo smiled bitterly, turned the horse's head, and seemed to leave, but after turning around, he didn't beat the horse and left, but was talking to his subordinates.

A general beside Lin Zhishan hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "My lord, Han Mozhi's words...... It doesn't have to be unreasonable......! ”

Lin Zhishan's face sank, he suddenly looked at him, and said coldly: "What do you want to say?" ”

The general's face showed a slight fear, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I waited for the army, but there was no reinforcement, and now the enemy is in front, there is no way to retreat." If we fight against the Northwest Army, sooner or later we will be breached, and we will not be an opponent, and when the time comes, a large number of brothers will die in a bloody battle, and we will ...... What are we fighting for? ”

Lin Zhishan's face was cold, staring at the general's eyes.

In fact, what the general said was really what many officers and men thought.

Until now, most of the officers and soldiers have only acted on orders, and they have no idea why they are raising swords in Beijing, and many of them are just at a loss.

Although they were ordered to do so, they did not understand what the purpose of the war was.

Naturally, they would not understand that if the prince's plan succeeded, they would be the biggest contributors and the most important move in the entire chess game, but the prince miscalculated one move and lost the whole game.

The Volcano Camp and the Fengxiang Camp were doomed to lose the moment the prince failed, completely losing the role they should have.

Lin Zhishan didn't know that the prince was dead, he only knew that what he was doing now was the prince's order, and it was impossible for him to turn his back on the prince without understanding that the whole game of chess had gone.

He didn't know if his persistence would be able to help the prince, but he would never allow his compromise to ruin the prince's big business.

"On the first day of the camp, the first thing every soldier gets is that he is ordered to do so without any conditions." Lin Zhishan said slowly: "If you disobey military orders, you are not worthy of being called a soldier." You would have just not heard what you said, but if you said it again, no wonder you would have been ruthless! ”

The general sighed and said, "The last general doesn't dare to say much, and is willing to advance and retreat with the adults, and live and die together!" ”

At this moment, I heard several people shouting one after another: "My lord, there is movement over there!" ”

Lin Zhishan turned his head, but saw several soldiers pointing to the city, and immediately stepped forward and looked into the city, only to see that from the darkness, countless soldiers poured out, the speed was extremely fast, and there was no shouting of killing, but it rolled straight towards the city like a sea.

Lin Zhishan's god changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "That's ...... That's the nine-en officers and soldiers? ”

On the long street, thousands of officers and soldiers wielded big swords and rushed wildly.

"Protect the city!" Lin Zhishan said angrily: "The officers and soldiers of Jiuen are reversed, blow the horn, and notify other places!" ”

The horn sounded, and the officers and soldiers of Jiuen under the city finally shouted at this time, and countless voices in the formation shouted: "Capture the city, kill the rebels, brothers, kill!" ”

The reaction of the Imperial Forest Army was also extremely fast, in this southern city, deployed a thousand volcano battalion soldiers, but along the city wall, the two wings extended for a long time, at this time guarding the city, the city above and below, the total is only 400 people.

There are more than 100 Imperial Forest troops in the city, and when they saw the officers and soldiers rushing over, they heard the sound of the horn at the head of the city, and they did not hesitate, they had already dispersed, forming a line in front of the city, protecting the city behind, and there were soldiers on the city who quickly rushed down the city and came to support.

At the head of the city, the bow and arrow were aimed at the archers outside the city, and when they heard the sound of killing in the city, they immediately turned around, stood at the head of the inner city, and the bow and arrow were aimed at the nine en officers and soldiers in the city.

The shouting and killing sound in the city spread outside the city, Han Mo smiled coldly, this time it was really galloping back, and several cavalry beside him took out the horn at the same time, blowing another horn sound together.

Lin Zhishan, who was ordering to meet the nine soldiers at the head of the city, heard the sound of the horn outside the city, and his face changed greatly, extremely ugly, he turned around, quickly ran to the battlements outside, and looked at it, only to see that in the horn outside the city, countless fires suddenly lit up in the darkness, and then he heard the earth-shaking sound, and he quickly judged that it was the sound of war horses galloping on the earth.

Several long dragon-like cavalry formations appeared outside Nankangen, with the firelight as their heads, and swam quickly in the direction of Chengen.

Although the snow prevented the cavalry from sprinting with all their might, the spectacular and astonishing momentum did not diminish in the slightest.

At this moment, Lin Zhishan realized that the Northwest Army was really attacking the city on this cold winter night, and it had a strong internal response, and their target was not Xipingen, but Nankangen.

The Northwest Army outside the city and the nine soldiers inside the city were like two powerful fists, attacking at the same time.

All of a sudden, inside and outside Nankangen, there was a sound of killing!
