At the foot of Meishan, the army camped and rested.

It was already dark, but fortunately, a campfire was lit in the camp so that I could see the situation around me clearly.

Gu Yunyan looked at the south with a solemn face.

Gu Yunqian came over and said, "Big brother, it's all settled." ”

Gu Yunyan nodded, glanced at Meishan, which was shadowy in the night, and said, "When we rushed back to Yumen Pass the previous time, we also rested around here......

After a few years, he once again felt what it was to be anxious.

At that time, the city of the north was broken, and their relatives were in trouble, and their group braved the wind and snow to go north, and now, the capital is still holding on, and they can arrive a day early, maybe they can change the situation of the war.

But Gu Yunyan had to suppress the eagerness in his heart, camping when it was time to camp, and resting when it was time to rest.

From the north to the capital, the road is long, and it is said that it is a flat river, but the distance is here, and people can't wait to give birth to wings and fly over.

He also wanted to travel day and night, just marching and fighting, and he had to consider the situation, and it was impossible for the soldiers and horses to run off on the road to face the vicious Xiliang army.

It can only be as soon as possible, to endure the anxiety in my heart.

Gu Yunqian said in a low voice: "I don't know where the fourth brother has been......"

Gu Yunyan didn't speak.

After receiving the holy decree, the Beidi army immediately went south, knowing that the Xiliang soldiers were strong and strong, and Gu Yunyan had most of them except for a few troops left.

The task of guarding the northern border was handed over to Xiang Wei and Gu Yunkang, and Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunxi led the troops to set off together.

Halfway through the journey, he received a message from Jiang Muyuan, Gu Yunxi didn't say a word, ordered a part of the soldiers and horses, turned to the west, and went straight to Pang Deng's hometown.

In order to encircle Wei and save Zhao, it is to shake the Xiliang army.

It's just that such a raid is no less difficult than their rush to the capital.

"At most, in three days," Gu Yunyan took a deep breath, "No, in two days, we must rush to the capital." ”

At present, the battle is fierce, the saint is going south, the capital is besieged, what is the situation of the Beijing division, the news can't be transmitted, they don't know at all.

I'm afraid, I'm a step late, and I'm facing a Jingshi who has broken the city.

When the sky was bright, the army set off from the village and went straight to the capital.

Traveling from the north to the capital, Gu Yunyan has walked this road several times, either quickly or slowly, but this is the first time, and he feels that the villages and towns he passes through are extremely depressed.

The continuous wars in the past few years still have an impact on the people here, even if this area has not experienced war, besides, the Shengshang's departure from the capital to the south has also made the people panic, feeling that they have all been abandoned, once the Xiliang army conquers the capital, the next step is their north.

The closer you get to Gyeonggi, the more pronounced this depression becomes.

The Northland army even encountered a ransacked town, and they rode through the outside of the town, and the town was so quiet as if there were no living people.

Gu Yunyan knew that it was not that there were really no living people, but that the people were afraid, and they couldn't tell whether they were from the north or the Xiliang soldiers, so they hid one after another.

At sunset the next day, they marched to the outskirts of Beijing, and Gu Yunyan ordered to be stationed and sent scouts to inquire about the situation of the capital and the Xiliang army.

Until midnight, the news came back one after another.

The capital is still struggling to hold on, and the northern section of Yong'anmen is half collapsed by trebuchets, just afraid that if there is another offensive, the city wall will not be able to hold it at all.

I heard that before the war, Ning Guogong had a lot of grain and grass in the city, but if the city was really broken, there would be no use for those grains and grasses.

The scouts also found the camp of the Xiliang Army, and watched from a distance, although there were also battle losses, but they were orderly and imposing.

Gu Yunyan and Gu Yunqian's hearts fell by half.

The capital was still guarded, even if it only had its last breath left, it did not let the Xiliang army rush into the city.

They weren't too late.

The scout hurriedly came in, saying that in the camp of the Xiliang army, there was a general who was ordering troops, and he looked like he was going to attack at night, and he even saw three siege engines and eight trebuchets in the camp.

Gu Yunqian gasped.

Gu Yunyan picked up his spear and said sharply, "Prepare to go." ”

More than halfway through the third watch, it's almost the fourth watch.

Cheng Yanzhi stood on the city wall, looking west.

These days, Pomden has become more and more fond of fighting in the middle of the night, and the defenders do not dare to relax at all.

Rao is like this, and the situation of Yong'anmen is not optimistic.

Pang Deng seemed to have made up his mind to break through from Yong'anmen, and under the continuous attack, the city gate was already in danger.

And the garrison in the city is becoming more and more scarce, and Ning Guogong can't transfer all the defenders to Yong'anmen, so they have to prevent Pang Deng from suddenly sneaking up on other places, so the troops are becoming more and more stretched.

If the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army is still there, if the Imperial Forest Army is still there......

Cheng Yanzhi shook his head, he couldn't think like this, the battle situation was like this, there was no if.

Soon, he saw the sparks, and the soldiers on the lookout also saw them, and the trumpet sounded in an instant, and all the soldiers entered a state of imminent battle.

Gu Yunjin followed his sister-in-law and sisters to the city wall, and shot straight down with a crossbow in his hand.

Three siege vehicles slammed into the city gate, and the sound of the collision was like a drum, slamming on everyone's hearts.

They all know that Yong'anmen is already at the end of the crossbow, and it may break in another hour, or even half an hour.

The city gate was wide open, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed into the city, and they faced street fighting.

Ning Guogong was already preparing for the street fight, even if it was really at that time, the chances of winning were extremely small.

The catapult's long arm rose and fell, and this time, instead of a boulder, it was a burning weight, which crossed the walls and fell into the city, setting the house on fire in an instant.

The cries were sandwiched with the crashing of siege vehicles, and their eyes were stung by the flames, but no one stopped their weapons.

The people put out the fire, the soldiers defended the city, and they had to push the Xiliang army back.

With a bang, a huge crack appeared in the city gate.

Jiang Shiyu stood inside the city gate, and made several hooves to stop the horse, and after the hooves, there were ready soldiers, who stared at the city gate, watching the crack get bigger and bigger, and finally fell down after an impact.

The Xiliang army rushed in from outside the city, and in the next moment, a fire rose from behind them.

Jiang Shiyu was stunned when he saw the Xiliang soldiers who were still rushing forward a moment ago, and looked at the fire behind him in disbelief.

The people on the tall walls could see it more clearly.

The flame soared into the sky, like a fiery phoenix flapping its wings.

"In that direction, is the camp of the Xiliang Army?" Gu Yunsi muttered, "Pang Deng's camp is burning, is it because the reinforcements have arrived?" ”

Gu Yunjin's eyes were filled with tears by the firelight, and the spear in his hand struck down the enemy soldiers who climbed the ladder, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be the brothers who are coming, it must be!" ”

Another bright flame exploded in mid-air and scattered like fireworks.

This is used by the Northland to connect, and the Gu family recognizes it.

The Northern Subway Cavalry finally caught up, and took advantage of the Xiliang army's large-scale attack to burn their camp.

Thank you for the reward of looking in the mirror and putting the basket in the book.
