Chapter Fifty-Seven: The City is Filled with Soldiers and Horses
In the Beijing camp, groups of officers and soldiers gathered, and many officers and soldiers were watching blankly.
"Gather immediately, Ankang Mountain rebels, and the capital is under martial law." A general shouted.
The dumbfounded officers and soldiers were taken aback, what?
"Is there an order from the imperial court....." a general asked.
Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by the general of the crow army: "Before the whole sea held Your Majesty hostage, our lord had already made a decision first, and by the time the court ordered, Your Majesty had already been killed by the traitors." ”
What do you mean? The officers and soldiers continued to be stunned, and the soldier waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the top of their heads: "Don't go and assemble yet!" Defend the city! What a court order! Want to die! ”
In addition to the Beijing soldiers in the Beijing camp, there are also soldiers and horses from Henan Province, they were originally opposed, one side followed the whole sea in the palace, and the other side was dispatched by Cui Zheng outside the palace, but they were all killed by the crow army, and now the three parties are gathered in a Beijing camp, which is weird and embarrassing.
And as the survivors of the crow army, when they saw the big knife cut down, the bloody scene of breaking the city and breaking into the palace that day resurfaced, the faces of the officials and generals turned pale instantly, and they had no ideas, and immediately turned around and followed the crow army to run and assemble, Mu Mu's obeyed the command to close the city gate, disperse the people, and gallop outside the city to announce the clear wall, and the people went into the city to take refuge, and those who dared to force the passage were killed, those who dared to shake the hearts of the people were killed, and those who dared to obstruct the military order were killed......
For a time, the people of the capital were in a panic.
And in the twilight, the banquet in Taoyuan has just begun.
High-ranking officials and magnates carry gorgeously dressed ladies through it, the pretty palace ladies serve exquisite dishes, the dancers carry lamps and dance in the blooming peach blossoms, the lights and shadows of the white clothes complement each other, the peach blossoms are flying, looming like a dream, the emperor on the high platform girdles his waist and sleeves hold two drumsticks, and personally beat the drums.
At this moment, his gray hair was neatly tied, his figure was tall and flashing, and he was in good spirits, and with a rain of flowers, Luo Guifei fell lightly from the sky, and the colorful silk ribbon fluttered like a fairy.....
The cheers of the people standing in the courtyard and sitting in the pavilion were thunderous, muffling the sound of chaotic running.
Several eunuchs stumbled and fell to the ground in Taoyuan.
"Oh no! Wu Ya'er has rebelled! ”
"The capital is occupied!"
With a bang, the emperor's drumstick did not fall on the drum surface, but on the ground, and there was silence in the peach garden, and then screams rang out.
"Don't talk nonsense and frighten Your Majesty." Wu Ya'er strode over with soldiers and horses in armor, "It's not me who rebelled!" ”
Previously, he entered the palace to remove his armor, wearing a brocade robe, and then accompanied the emperor to the court to be given a guard uniform, the people in the palace were the first time to see him wearing armor, although the cold and dark armor could not hide his handsome face, but it made people feel cold.
Behind him, the same armored soldiers and horses were like clouds.
These words did not appease the people.
The emperor fell into a stupor again, and was surrounded by Luo Guifei and other women trembling under the drum, as if he was trapped in the hibiscus tent.
Cui Zheng shouted: "Wu Ya'er, what are you doing?" ”
Wu Ya'er said: "Ankang Mountain rebelled and led an army of 150,000 to the capital. ”
The originally quiet crowd was buzzing, surprised and frightened, but without believing it, Luo Guifei jumped up from the emperor's arms: "Impossible!" How could he rebel! ”
How could Ankang Mountain rebel, such a stupid person.
When Cui Zheng heard this, Wu Ya'er, who was facing the armor and swords, was suddenly not so afraid, and smiled faintly: "It turns out that this is the case, the military general misunderstood, Ankang Mountain was brought to Beijing by me, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Wu Ya'er looked at him: "How did Cui Xiangye let Ankang Mountain enter Beijing?" ”
Without waiting for Cui Zheng to answer, he stretched out his hand and pointed outward.
"Take 150,000 soldiers and horses, attack the city and burn the town, kill the officials and harm the people?"
"Also, the name of Luo Shiqing in the whole sea is hung on the banner of Ankang Mountain."
"In the name of retributing these traitors, he ordered the whole world to rise up together."
Cui Zheng was shocked, and several people from the Luo clan who were crowded in the crowd jumped out.
"It can't be!"
"You talk nonsense."
Wu Ya'er stood in the garden where the peach blossoms were in full bloom, letting the noisy shouts and flying petals fall all over her body.
Is it impossible?
Nonsense?
.....
.....
Fireworks rose in the cold winter of the Northlands, or in the desolate or prosperous land, mixed with cries that resounded through the sky.
The cry came from the city, but it could not rush out of the layers of soldiers and horses besieging the city, and the corpses were scattered all over the city, and the soldiers with angry and hideous faces stepped on a corpse wearing official uniforms, and raised the bows and crossbows in their hands to aim at the men, women, old and weak who ran out.
The cry came from the main road, and the people, regardless of whether they were rich or beggars, ran forward desperately, but they could not outrun the galloping soldiers and horses behind them, and the soldiers and horses shouted, and the long knives in their hands slashed down at will, and a group of people fell down or were frightened, and those who were struck did not get up again, and those who fell did not fall, because the horses' hooves then stepped on them.....
There are also cities without diffuse fireworks, soldiers and horses gathered outside the city, the city gate is wide open, an official holding an official hat and official uniform led a group of officials to come out humbly, kneeling in front of the head of the general, the general waved his hand, the soldiers and horses poured into the city in a disorder, the sound of horses' hooves stepped on the hearts of the people hiding in the houses and courtyards, and the adults bit their mouths to cover the mouths of the children, blocking the crying.
Half of the Northland is in chaos, while there is a hidden surge elsewhere.
Fuzhou, Fujian observation envoy was woken up in the middle of the night, put on his clothes and walked under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the generals who walked in, the generals were with three or four people, holding an urgent report in their hands.
"General Cai, what's the matter? Is there another accident in the capital? He asked, puzzled.
"Your Excellency will find out just by looking at it." The general surnamed Cai had a gloomy face and submitted an urgent report.
The observer took the light under the borrowed corridor and looked at it, and his face was surprised: "Ah, Ankang Mountain is a rebellion!" He ....."
Before he could finish his sentence, a knife stabbed him in the chest.
"He's not rebelling." General Cai corrected, holding the knife in one hand and pressing the observer's shoulder with the other, "Governor Andu is a rebel minister, Qing Jun's side, my lord, you are Luo Shiqing's guest, and you are also a rebel minister." ”
The observer stared at the round eyes, pressed his hand on his chest, and the emergency report he held was instantly dyed red: "You are bold ....."
With a snort, the long knife was drawn, and General Cai pushed his hand hard, observing that he fell to the ground and twitched twice.
The entourage who had just screamed behind him was also hacked to death by General Cai's men.
"Kill all the people here." General Cai gave an order, and footsteps sounded outside the door, and many soldiers and horses rushed in, holding knives and guns and scattered in the courtyard.
In the dark night there were screams, cries, and fights.
General Cai stood under the eaves and inserted the long knife back, stepped on the corpse of the observation envoy and walked into the hall: "Liao Duzhi died of a violent illness, and I will be in charge of all matters in the government and the road instead." ”
There is no difference between night and day, and the abnormal movement is slowly happening on the land of Great Xia, with fierce bright waves and surging dark tides.
When the morning light illuminates Huainan Road on a bright spring day, the soldiers and horses press over like dark clouds.
No matter how vast the dark clouds were, they couldn't cover the entire Huainan Road at once, so they divided into pieces one by one, scattering in all directions, like palms slapping the earth.
One of the fast-moving fingers was stopped by the drink.
"Where are you going?" The general wrapped in armor shouted.
A general who rushed forward was a little puzzled: "Of course it's Dou County." ”
Hearing the word Dou County, the general raised his head from his hat and revealed Qi Dayong's face: "Why did you go to Dou County?" ”
The general was filled with indignation: "My lord, we must repay all of your humiliation in Dou County today." ”
Qi Da twitched with the scar on his face, which was beaten by An Dezhong, and he was lucky to leave a scar without cutting off his head.
"Last time, my lord, you brought few people and horses, and now we will take more people and horses to level Dou County." The general raised his hand and roared.
The soldiers roared in unison, and the horses neighed like thunder.
Qi Dayong grabbed the commotion of the horses: "It's better not to do it." ”
The soldiers around him were stunned, thinking that they had misheard.
"I'm not saying I'm afraid of Dou County." Qi Dayong explained, "I mean to capture other places first, and when the general trend has been achieved, Dou County is not afraid." ”
So you're still afraid?
"I didn't mean I'm afraid of Dou County!" Qi Dayong shouted again, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the capital, "Dou County is the Zhenwu Army after all, although we are not afraid of them, but we must divide more energy to fight, the war has just started, if the loss in a Dou County is too great, it will really affect the morale of the army!" ”
This is also true, the Zhenwu army is indeed more difficult to deal with than other soldiers and horses.....
Qi Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, pulled down his hat, and pulled out his long knife: "No matter how difficult the Zhenwu Army is, it will be difficult to defeat the general trend of the world!" The general trend of the world of the Grand Governor! ”
The generals shouted in unison again, rushing in the direction Qi Dayong pointed.
......
......
As soon as the governor of Gwangju walked up to the city wall tremblingly, he heard several soldiers shouting.
"My lord, look, there are soldiers and horses coming to us!"
"It's not the military flag of Huainan Province!"
"It's from the west of Zhejiang! It's from the west of Zhejiang! ”
The prefect of Gwangju leaned on the city wall with a soft foot, how could he be so unlucky! Why did you come here in the first place?
