Chapter 12 Watching the City Break

At the end of February, the earth had not yet thawed, and there was no movement under an iron pickaxe.

But as long as it is soil, there are gaps, and if one iron pickaxe does not work, two iron pickaxes, three iron pickaxes, and in one moment, the hard soil will break a hole, and the water will rush through.....

Although the opening is small, once it is broken, it cannot stop the flow of water from rushing in, and more and more will soon cover the entire field.

The winter wheat in the field gradually stretched out, and the old farmer squatting in the field smiled, what could be happier than seeing the crops he planted alive?

Especially in this world where there is no happiness at all.

The sound of the horse's hooves made the old farmer smile on his face, and he wanted to jump up and tie himself into the wheat field, resulting in a very strange posture, and a team of soldiers and horses appeared in his sight, shining armor with cold light, all kinds of weapons, and blood on the weapons....

But when he saw the banner behind them, the old peasant was frightened, stood up straight, and took the initiative to shout at the soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses were taken aback, and a few of them drew their weapons, and when they saw the old peasants standing in the fields, they shouted angrily: "What are you doing here!" ”

"While there are not many people, I will pour a stubble of water." The old farmer pointed to the water in the field, and hurriedly asked, "Master Bing, how is the situation?" Did the rebels come? ”

The leader of the army was even more angry: "You still know that there is a war! Now we are fighting on all sides of Xuanwu Road, in the north is Mrs. Chu is fighting in the capital, in the west is Jiannan Province and An Qingzhong are fighting, in the south and east General Xiang Xiao and Jiangnan Province are fighting with An Dezhong.... Everywhere there are strong walls and clear fields, and you actually ran out to water the fields? ”

The old peasant was not afraid that the leader would be angry, and nodded again and again to admit his mistake and praised: "It's a pity that I don't look at the ground and don't water the monster, the rebels haven't come either, and we are idle hiding in the city..... The main thing is that there are soldiers, and if there is danger, they will notify us and protect us....."

The leader didn't want to fight with him, and they weren't so idle when they were nervous, so they threw down a sentence of "You can be vigilant" and walked away.

"These people are getting bolder." A soldier said, "In the past, when I heard about the battle, I saw the officers and soldiers running around in fright, but now there is a mess all around, and they even dare to run out to water the wheat fields..."

When they looked back, they saw that the old peasant did not turn his head and go into the city, but squatted down again to look at the wheat field in a daze.

"This is all what Mrs. Chu is used to." Another soldier said, "General Xiang Xiao collected the soldiers and horses, and Mrs. Chu sent people to rebuild the official mansion, so that these people could eat and drink comfortably, and they all forgot what the world is now." ”

The leader was not interested in mocking the old peasant, and these people did not fight, and did not know the danger of the current situation, and those who did not know were fearless: "I don't know what the latest war situation is?" ”

"Needless to say, Master Xiang, over there in Huainan Road, An Dezhong only robbed two cities, or Master Xiang deliberately released them to lure the enemy deeper." A soldier's eyebrows danced, "Let's Xuanwu Dao is even more powerful here, those soldiers and horses in Jiannan Dao are really fierce, the number is not as large as An Qingzhong, but it is not the slightest ..... to fall behind."

Speaking of this, everyone suddenly came to the spirit.

"This is the first time I've seen the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao, they look inconspicuous, but they are all extraordinary."

"Han Xu should have sent all the most powerful soldiers from Jiannan Dao."

"Nonsense, the most powerful soldiers and horses in Jiannan Province followed that little governor to Linzhou."

"You don't understand this, in fact, that little governor has long been set aside by Han Xu, and Jiannandao is already in his hands, otherwise he can send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Xuanwu Dao with a wave of his hand, and no matter how rich the landlord is, he is not so arrogant."

"Then you say, who does Mrs. Chu prefer? Who is more heart-wrenching Han Xu or Xiang Nan to Mrs. Chu Guo? ”

Listening to the discussion became more and more unlikely, the generals who listened with their ears pricked up drank off.

"Stop talking nonsense!" He shouted, "Don't say that the people are spoiled, you too, when is it now, cheer me up, hurry up and find out the latest news." ”

A soldier stepped forward energetically to report the latest news: "The soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road made An Qingzhong's camp retreat back dozens of miles. ”

The general hummed: "What about the capital?" What happened to Mrs. Chu Guo's side? ”

"It seems that there is still a fight over there, and Mrs. Chu is advancing step by step, so it should be no problem." Xinbing said.

The general shook his head: "The problem is big, the most critical thing in the capital is time, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is, the rebels have a city to follow, and it doesn't matter if they are defeated, but if Ankang Mountain comes back, then Mrs. Chu will be miserable....... Our martial arts will be miserable. ”

They declared that the martial arts would be the first place to be trampled by the iron hooves of the rebels, and the soldiers were also solemn.

"Let's all go and strengthen our defenses." The general said, "There are soldiers and horses fighting all around, and we are already very idle." ”

They are the original Xuanwu Dao soldiers and horses, Xiang Nan didn't take them away when he left, and the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao didn't need them to be the vanguard when they came, only let them be responsible for the security and garrison in the territory, compared to those soldiers and horses who were fighting to the death, they were indeed too idle.

To be grateful and cherish this leisure, the soldiers spread out in front of the city to perform their duties seriously.

Seeing the soldiers and horses disperse, the general pouted: "Who does Mrs. Chu prefer?" Of course, it's the Wudu Governor, and for the Wudu Governor, he is desperately fighting the capital, no matter how fragrant the wildflowers are, or the most important thing is the family flower. ”

The general's emotion was not over, and there were scouts running in dust on the main road in the distance.

“..... Good news! The capital has been breached! ”

Before the people arrived, the voice had already shouted through the sky.

The general jumped up in disbelief, thinking to himself, for the sake of the family flower, Mrs. Chu is really too fierce.

.......

.......

An Qingzhong held the letter in his hand, and his whole body was trembling.

"Impossible!" He let out a wild shout, "How can the capital be breached? ”

A lieutenant general knelt in front of him and hugged his legs: "Lord, the capital was not breached, it was opened from the inside." ”

An Qingzhong kicked him away: "What's the difference?" ”

Open from the outside or from the inside, the capital is broken.

"Lord Wang." The deputy general was not afraid of death and crawled over again, "The capital was opened because there were spies, not because of how powerful Mrs. Chu was." ”

That's right, how could the capital be breached, An Qingzhong tore up the letter paper in his hand, but the result was still the same!

The capital is gone!

"Lord Wang." A scout rushed and shouted, "The soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao are coming again, and they are fierce." ”

The adjutant general shouted: "They must also know that the capital has been breached!" ”

Therefore, the morale was greatly boosted, and we had to take the opportunity to fight fiercely.

"Lord Wang." The lieutenant general jumped up, "The last general is going to kill the enemy!" ”

An Qingzhong kicked him to the ground: "Kill a fart!" Retreat! ”

Fall back? Everyone was puzzled.

"What's the use of breaking through the defense formation to the capital at this time!" An Qingzhong shouted, grabbing the long knife and waving it, "There is no city to follow, and there are traitors in the capital, we should hurry to Your Majesty's side now to protect Your Majesty!" ”

Then you don't have to go through the Xuanwu Dao, and you can pass through it faster from other places.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they should have heard in unison, and ordered the army to pull out the camp.

In wartime, it is easiest to withdraw from the camp and retreat, and looking at the rebels fleeing in front, there is a piece of death from trampling and hitting each other.....

At this time, if you launch an attack, it will be overwhelming.

But the generals of Jiannan Province ordered the attack to be stopped.

"Mrs. Chu broke the capital." "We quickly tightened our defenses to protect ourselves from other rebels near the capital," he said. ”

There was another sentence that was not spoken.

The order given by Mrs. Chu was that in addition to the rebels, other guards were not allowed to approach the capital.

......

.......

After the gates of the capital were opened, the capital was not immediately recovered.

The fierce fighting lasted for three days, until the rebels were fleeing, those with horses on horseback, those without horses galloping with their feet, they had no formation and no fighting spirit, and even killed each other in order to get a chance to escape.....

"Without the city, they would be nothing more than a rabble." Zhong Wu sneered and said, "I have enjoyed happiness in the capital for a long time, and Fan Yangbing is nothing more than that." ”

Although I can't see the scene in the capital with my own eyes, it can be imagined that the four gates are wide open, the big flag of Mrs. Chu is planted in the city, and Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses are checking in the streets and alleys.

The unbelievable opening of the city gate has crushed the morale of the rebels, and the overall situation has been decided.

Zhong Wu turned around and said excitedly: "Madam, please enter the city." ”

The city is now the most chaotic time, and the lady of Chu is needed to appease the people, and it is also the safest to enter the city, the defeated army is vulnerable, but the defeated army is also very easy to go crazy.

Li Minglou was riding on a horse, looking in the direction of the capital, but the horse's hooves hesitated, and her body turned in another direction.

She thought, let's go and fight with Ankang Mountain first.
