The 1,000 soldiers led by He Youjun dragged Si Jiayi's 100,000 army for two hours, and at the same time caused 10,000 casualties on the other side.

As it grew dark, Scarlett did not dare to advance any further, so she ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot. Although it is already May, it is still cool in the north. The morale of the soldiers of the Beicang army has been a little slack. After a fierce battle, after receiving Scarlett's order to rest, many people spread directly on the ground, a cool breeze blew, and the leaves on the side rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound. After taking out dry food and simply filling their stomachs, the soldiers fell asleep on the ground with their cold weapons and armor on their pillows. Every hour, I changed shifts and patrolled back and forth.

Kong Yuan had already arranged people in the palace, and the palace door was easily opened, and as soon as he gave an order, the soldiers behind him poured in like a flood. The guards in the palace couldn't resist such an attack at all, and Kong Yuan would soon attack the atrium. Li Qingcang locked himself in the main hall alone, looking at this empty, resplendent palace, is this country really going to die in my hands? I still remember that in the year when he ascended the throne, he worked hard to govern the country, but in a year or two, he managed the whole country in an orderly manner. At that time, he was also alone in this hall, full of ambition and high spirits.

The sound of killing outside was getting louder and louder, but he was unmoved. He was listening, "Thousands of generations", and the original oath still echoed in this hall.

"The old minister Kong Yuan sees the emperor." Kong Yuan's voice floated in from outside the hall, instantly filling the entire space.

Li Qingcang tidied up his robe slightly, walked to the door solemnly, raised his hand to open the door, but stopped in mid-air. Outside the door, there is a prison, and inside the door, there is a prison.

Through the door, he could vaguely see the outline of Kong Yuan's figure. In my impression, he always shrunk his shoulders, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Chen Qilu." "Memory can deceive people, Kong Yuan at this moment is holding his head high, and he has the chance to win.

The noise outside the door woke him up, his father, it was his son's incompetence.

The noise was getting louder and louder, and Li Qingcang could hear it clearly.

"Prime Minister!"

"Your Excellency!"

……

He looked up, and Kong Yuan's figure outside the door fell.

Twilight's hands were quick, he pulled out the sword in his hand, and took a step forward to cut off Kong Yuan's head. He carried Kong Yuan's head, his eyes were cold, he swept over the people below, and said sonorously: "The Kong thief is dead." Do you still have to resist? If you put down your weapons at this moment, you will not be punished for your crimes, and if you don't obey, you will be connected to the nine clans. ”

Everyone threw down their weapons. The sound of clanging clanged at their hearts. Some soldiers were still unwilling, unwilling to lay down their arms, and still wanted to fight desperately, but they were unable to defeat the twilight crowd and died one after another.

After a commotion, it finally calmed down.

When night fell, a few stars were pitifully embedded in the night, and compared with the sea of corpses and blood in front of the hall, they were even more sparse.

"The last general is late to save the twilight, please ask the emperor to surrender." Twilight knelt in front of the hall, waiting for Li Qingcang to open the temple door.

"Stand down, I'm tired." Li Qingcang did not open the door, but sat slumped at the door.

Twilight had no choice but to give up and arrange for his men to clean up the mess.

Seeing that everyone dispersed, Li Qingcang lay straight on the floor, his eyes staring straight at the ceiling, and a tear crossed the corner of his eye and dripped on the floor. The tears were warm, and when they touched the cold floor, the temperature immediately dissipated.

Tang Qianyi sat in a small pavilion in the courtyard, listening to the sounds outside, but the writing movements of his hands did not stop for a moment. The maid in the courtyard didn't say a word or two as usual, but her eyes became more and more dull. The guards at the door also stood motionless, unaffected.

This day, for Li Qingcang, is a lifetime. For Kong Yuan, it was a moment. For Tang Qianyi, it's just a day.

The tongue of fire licked the dark night, and also devoured the food of the Beicang army. There was nothing around, and in order to keep the food, the soldiers had to use the water brought by the army to extinguish the fire, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

While everyone was busy fighting the fire, a group of Donglai soldiers suddenly came out on the hillside on the side. They could not take care of both sides and suffered heavy casualties.

Scarlett, who was originally full of confidence, was so hit that she was so angry that she killed the non-commissioned officer in charge of the transport on the spot. Without food and grass, Scarlett didn't dare to delay, so he could set off and head for Dingkang.

When the rooster crowed, Scarlett could already see the skyline of Dingkang. The firelight of last night was still reflected in his mind, and the ruthlessness gradually revealed from his eyes.

The road from Jingyang to Dingkang is not wide, and you can only barely pass a horse-drawn carriage. Scarlett brought about 100,000 people, and the queue was very long. Therefore, by the time Scarlett learned that the rear had been attacked by five hundred people, there were already two thousand dead and wounded.

These five hundred people have a higher fighting quality compared to the previous thousand. Scarlett's army marched through the night, and a fire broke out in the middle of the night, leaving people sleepy and tired. As a result, there were few casualties among the 500 people in Donglai.

However, in the end, these 500 people were wiped out like He Youjun and others. So far, Scarlett still has about 80,000 soldiers.

Finally arrived at the city of Dingkang.

Under the city, there are corpses all over the field. There was a corpse hanging on the city gate, he knew, and it was one of the most proud generals by Kong Yuan's side.

Li Jinyu!

Arrows were suddenly released from the city walls, dense like raindrops, and many soldiers who had no time to defend were shot and fell. The rain of arrows stopped.

Li Jinyu climbed the city tower, took out a dagger he carried with him, cut the rope on the city wall, and the corpse fell quickly, and the last muffled sound was the sound of soil and flesh.

"Scarlett, long time no see."

"Li Jinyu, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

"Only 10,000 people."

Scarlett knew that Li Jinyu would not hide anything from herself. It's just that today, he won't lose to him again like he did a year ago.

Soon, Si Jiayi's subordinates broke open the city gate, Li Jinyu seemed to have arranged it a long time ago, and at the moment when the Beicang people crashed open the city gate, Li Qingcang's soldiers immediately rushed out of the city, not giving Si Jiayi a chance to enter the city at all. On one side of the small city gate, wave after wave of people rushed forward like insects and ants, and the corpses were piled up on the edge of the city gate, creating another city gate.

Scarlett took advantage of the numerical advantage and gradually had a tendency to attack. Li Jinyu immediately ordered, saw the opportunity, and closed the city gate again. And Scarlett, because of the heavy casualties, did not continue to attack.

Jingyang has been occupied, and Scarlett immediately sends people to Jingyang to send reinforcements.

Another wave of attacks, this time, Li Jinyu ordered people to block behind the city gate with many stones, but Si Jiayi did not break through. And Li Jinyu took advantage of the height, commanding archers and throwers to shoot arrows and throw stones below.

As a last resort, Scarlett retreated ten miles.

Tomorrow morning, reinforcements will arrive. Li Jinyu, and you, only half of them, maybe less.

Without any obstacles, the reinforcements dispatched by Scarlett Yi quickly rushed from Jingyang to Dingkang. And Scarlett didn't delay for a moment, and immediately launched the third siege.

"Lord Wang, it's almost unstoppable." The following people will report it.

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it."

"Lord Wang, there are only a few thousand of us left." The man had only come back from the city gate, and his face was covered with blood, and he could not see clearly. He lowered his voice again and said, "There are reinforcements from Beicang's side again." ”

"Want to abandon the city?" Li Jinyu saw the other party's depression, and said sharply: "If you want to abandon the city, it will have to wait until all the soldiers are martyred." ”

"Pass the order, if anyone has the idea of abandoning the city again, there will be no forgiveness for killing, and the corpse will be exposed."
