Chapter 541: The City is Broken
Soon, that night, Gao Qi brought the person in charge of intelligence over, and by the way, he also asked the people who stayed in Kyoto to arrest the person who was said to be on temporary leave.
Under Mo Xuanyin's invisible coercion, that person recruited quickly.
He claimed that he was found by the people of Lanling, and asked him to do something in this information, it was best not to let the above see the news from Yongzhou, and promised to give him a generous reward after the matter was completed.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?"
After the person was also tried, Gao Qi glanced at Cao Xi, who was still standing on the side, and then asked Mo Xuanyin.
"Delaying the warplane, attempting to kill the emperor and queen, collaborating with the enemy and treason. Come according to the law! Mo Xuanyin's voice made people not hear any huge waves, but the more he raised his face like this, the more frightened he became.
He originally thought that according to Mo Xuanyin's character, he might directly kill this traitor with a knife, but he didn't expect him to say the word law so coldly. As far as this matter is concerned, according to the law, the nine clans can be punished.
"Got it!"
Gao Qi's eyes darkened a little, and then he called someone to come over and ask them to guard the prisoner, and wait until they returned to Kyoto to execute with his whole family!
"Weichen is not well supervised, please punish Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the person was taken away, Cao Xi suddenly came out from behind and stood in front of Mo Xuanyin, with panic and guilt on his face.
There was a problem with the people under him, although it was not enough to sit down so much, but he, the immediate boss, still couldn't escape the involvement.
"When we get back to Kyoto, you can go down first!" Mo Xuanyin waved his hand impatiently, and then pinched his eyebrows: "Find out all the news about Yongzhou that has been detained for a period of time, and then work hard in the past few days, as long as you come from the east, you can't be left behind!" ”
After thinking about it, Mo Xuanyin said again.
"Yes!" Cao Xi looked like he was about to be amnesty, took two steps back, and then said hello to Gao Qi and left.
It's just that both of them have something on their minds, and neither of them saw a successful smile on his face when he left.
"Your Majesty, now that the matter has been clarified, you shouldn't worry too much." Gao Qi sighed, and then sat down beside Mo Xuanyin resignedly: "Didn't the secret guard who came back say that Niangniang's life is not in danger, as long as we can pass quickly, there will be no problem." ”
Growing up with Mo Xuanyin since he was a child, plus he has been by his side all these years, how can Gao Qi not know what this man is thinking about now.
"Let's hope we can go faster!" Mo Xuanyin muttered: "If something happens to her, even if the family dies, she won't be able to compensate for it!" I want everyone involved to bury her! ”
The last sentence, like an oath, was spoken loudly.
He had promised to let her go, but now he didn't give her the response she deserved. If something really happened to her, he couldn't forgive himself at all.
"Calm down!" Gao Qi's eyes were red when he looked at him, and he rarely scolded like a friend: "Who is Gu Xiwu, how can she have a problem in such a situation!" But let's go, don't you think the traces of this incident are too obvious? A thing that has been hidden from us for so long has been found out in less than a night? ”
Just when dealing with this matter, Gao Qi had a feeling that something was wrong in his heart. And with the man's acknowledgment, that feeling became even stronger.
It was all going so well, it was like someone had already set it up and was just waiting for them to come along.
"I didn't believe that man could be the mastermind!" Speaking of this, Mo Xuanyin sneered: "Although the person who can achieve this position is already considered a high position, but with his ability, he will not take the initiative to recruit people from Lanling." There must be a big fish among us! ”
The one who was arrested could be regarded as one of the best figures in the whole of Yunnan, but in Kyoto, it was not so important among a bunch of powerful people. The matter of receiving the message was originally assigned immediately, and no one knew that he would be in charge of this part of the matter before this matter, so only the people higher up could do it.
"You know everything, what's the matter?"
Gao Qi thought that he was angry, so he didn't understand the joints, but he didn't expect Mo Xuanyin to see everything in his heart.
"Those two people can't run left and right, don't you let those people behind you rest assured if you deal with it first!" What Mo Xuanyin said was a matter of course.
Rest assured, you won't be able to jump out and jump as a matter of course!
"You just have to know what you know!"
If it weren't for the time and occasion, Gao Qi would give Mo Xuanyin a thumbs up and praise him by the way, high! But now that the enemy is current, no one is in the mood to joke.
"Go and rest, and get there as soon as possible tomorrow morning!"
Mo Xuanyin looked at the sky, it was almost dawn. Ah Wu, you hold on a little longer!
Yongzhou.
Layer by layer of oil poured on the city wall, basically blocking all the ways that the Lanling army intended to invade from above the city wall in a short period of time. So throughout the second half of the night, their battle began to revolve around the ruined city gate.
"What should I do, mother, this door won't last long!"
"Hengchi, retreat with everyone!" Gu Xiwu glanced at the gate that was about to be knocked open, and a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes: "Stationed in the city!" ”
"Niangniang, we just gave up Yongzhou?"
Hengchi originally thought that this time was the last, the time to live and die with Yongzhou, but he didn't expect Gu Xiwu to let him retreat.
"It's just a strategic retreat, if you want to understand it as a retreat!" Gu Xiwu said faintly: "This kind of battle is already doomed, I have no way to watch you go to death!" ”
After speaking, Gu Xiwu looked at the city gate in front of him again.
"Let someone find straw to come and block the city gate, and then pour fire oil on it!"
The method of fire attack has been tried and tested. Although there is no need to burn the city this time, it is also useful to block it for a short time.
"I see!" Hengchi originally wanted to say something to persuade Gu Xiwu, but when he heard that Gu Xiwu had follow-up arrangements, he immediately got up for fear of delaying Gu Xiwu's plan: "It's just that this kind of fire can't stop them for too long!" ”
When the straw is burned and the oil is burned out, the gates of the city will be broken. It was more complete than it is now, and it can even be said that they opened the door directly to each other.
"Fighting in the city is not like a siege battle, the people I brought are suitable for this kind of street fighting, and they can survive this night no matter what." Gu Xiwu glanced at it, and then turned his head without any attachment.
Looking at the time, if everything goes well with those two secret guards, Mo Xuanyin's reinforcements will arrive soon. Perhaps, as long as they survive this night, they will be saved!
When Gu Xiwu left the city gate, Hengchi did not follow. Next, Gu Xiwu heard a noisy sound behind her, she turned around, it turned out that the straw was already in place, and the oil had been splashed.
"You guys go first!"
After thinking about it, he turned around and went back, Gu Xiwu said to Hengchi and Sun Yi who were already standing in front of the straw pile.
"What about you?"
"I'll ignite!" Gu Xiwu naturally took the torch, and then looked at Sun Yi: "Next, once the Lanling army attacks, it will be up to you." ”
Sun Yi nodded, knowing that Gu Xiwu was planning to let the soldiers of the Regent Palace's Mansion be the main force for the next street battle.
"I'll leave two people to protect you!"
Sun Yi paused, and then pointed to two people for Gu Xiwu. Next, he and Hengchi didn't know what to whisper, and the two of them took the only remaining people in Yongzhou to retreat in the direction behind them.
Because the recent standoff has been too tense, or the battle has been too fierce this night. So now everyone in Yongzhou City is desperate, they don't know what kind of ending awaits them after the sun comes out tomorrow.
But even so, they have to keep fighting, because no one wants to wait for death to come.
Brush!
After the team walked away, Gu Xiwu took a few steps back and threw the torch out. The straw was ignited in an instant, and by the way, the dilapidated city gate that was blocked by wood not far away was also burned.
The flames burst out of the old high, and in an instant the light of the flames illuminated the inside and outside of the city gates where the war had begun.
And at the other end of the city gate, the adjutant stood beside Shen Qiong and looked coldly at the flames that rose again in the city, his face was indescribably weird.
"This one is really out of common sense!"
The same trick was used twice, and two cities were burned at once. I really don't know whether to praise her for being improvised, or for her wealth.
If the small county town burns, it will burn, and at such a time, the war will inevitably cause some consequences. But Yongzhou is the junction of three neighboring countries! This place is burning, and Yunnan may be about to lose its vitality!
"She's not going to burn the city!" Shen Qiong glanced at his adjutant, how could he do such a thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred: "She is in the way of us!" It seems that Gu Xiwu is going to give up the city gate! ”
"Abandon the gates?" These four words sounded no different from giving up Yongzhou in the ears of the adjutant: "She gave up Yongzhou so easily?" It seems that this woman is not at all what is rumored to be! ”
I thought that this battle would be difficult to fight this time, but except for a few times during the siege, it was basically not challenging.
"She won't give up Yongzhou!" Shen Qiong glanced at the adjutant again, and didn't know what to scold him for a while, although this tactic looked ugly, but it was not considered to abandon the city and run away, how could she not see anything after following him for so many years: "She is going to hold us to fight in the streets!" ”
Shen Qiong sighed, street fighting has always been the weakest area for officers and soldiers in all dynasties. Not to mention, it's still someone's home field!
It seems that this night is not destined to be peaceful!
"And now are we?"
"Wait!"
Shen Qiong looked at the fire in front of him that was getting stronger and stronger, there was only one place, and he didn't think it would burn for long.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, as the fire gradually extinguished, the gate of Yongzhou City also fell.
Yongzhou, the city is broken!
