Zhao Liwen fell in the air, and was standing in front of Shu Jiuchai, looking at her panting, her face was pale, and said, "Follow me." ”

Shu Jiuchai and Zhao Liwen are not very familiar with each other, but they also know this person's ability and ability, and they don't dare to ask anything more at the moment, so they are busy keeping up.

I saw that Zhao Liwen's left arm was wrapped around the red python, like a killing god, without forcing it at all, and he walked straight and straight towards the palace.

No enemy along the way could stop Zhao Liwen's blow.

Soon, Zhao Liwen led Shu Jiuchai to the palace.

In the past, the solemn palace was in the palace, but now, there are people lying everywhere who are injured and wailing, and the palace maids and eunuchs are busy with a pot of porridge, running around for treatment, but they are still a little too busy.

Zhao Liwen walked forward, and also saw the doubts on Shu Jiuchai's face, so he said: "Now in the palace, there are about 100,000 people, which is already the limit of what can be accommodated, and the rest of the people, even if they are Your Majesty, can do nothing." ”

Shu Jiuchai sighed and shook his head: "Even if this is the case, it is just a change of cemetery, the current city is already like hell, after the rebels break the city, all the time, you can't hear the cries of the people in the city." ”

Zhao Liwen's steps stopped abruptly, and then he turned his head and said with a wry smile: "I can only do my best, obey the destiny of heaven, Your Majesty has already asked me to send out a few sentry horses to Qingzhou and Yongliang to seek reinforcements respectively." ”

"What about the master? On the master's side, didn't His Majesty send someone? Shu Jiuchai raised his head and asked.

Zhao Liwen shook his head: "Your Majesty said that Wang Shizhong was injured, and it would be good to be able to stabilize the front line, so why bother him." ”

"Then Your Majesty didn't think about what to do if something happened here?"

Zhao Liwen was silent, then raised his head and said, "Isn't this still me?" ”

Shu Jiuchai stopped talking.

Zhao Liwen led Shu Jiuchai into the imperial study.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the empress with a face full of oil mud and red eyes, and looking at her mental state, it was obvious that she hadn't rested for a long time.

"Narcissus, while Hu Hu has not decided to start attacking, seize the time to repair and strengthen the city defense, in addition, all the eunuchs in the palace who can move, all be issued with weapons, let them go to the city for defense."

Narcissus nodded: "Understood." ”

"Also, tell Ma Bang that he will hold out for three days, and within three days, reinforcements will definitely come." The empress gritted her teeth.

Narcissus was surprised: "Your Majesty, are there really any reinforcements?" ”

The empress looked up at Narcissus: "What do you think?" ”

Narcissus stopped talking.

Zhao Liwen walked in, and he arched his hand and shouted Your Majesty.

The empress looked up and saw him and Shu Jiuchai, and hurriedly stood up and beckoned: "Miss Shu is here, come quickly." ”

Shu Jiuchai walked up and saw that the empress hesitated slightly, she listened to the empress just now, and also understood what kind of situation was at this time, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "Your Majesty, there are still 8,000 armed men in Echo Valley, how about sending a distress signal to Echo Valley?" Echo Valley is not far from Daxing City, and it will only be able to reach it in two days. ”

The empress smiled bitterly: "That's what I said, but now that the rebels have broken through the inner city, Daxing City can be called a pure land, only the palace." Even if I send out sentinels for help, but I can't get out of the palace at all, what can I do? ”

Shu Jiuchai said: "I have a way." ”

The empress looked up at Shu Jiuchai.

Shu Jiuchai took a deep breath and slowly said three words: "Kong Ming lantern." ”

After more than ten days of hurrying and hurrying, Wang Xiaolai finally entered the foot of Tongguan in Sizhou, and the general guarding Tongguan saw Wang Xiaolai, and sighed at the moment, and said, "Marshal Wang, why are you back?" Did you win the battle? ”

Wang Xiaolai glanced up at the general named Chen Zhong, stepped forward with a gloomy face, grabbed his collar, and was furious: "You are an idiot, such a big thing happened in Daxing City, and you are still slow here?" ”

Chen Zhong was frightened: "It's not a marshal, what's wrong with Daxing City?" ”

Wang Xiaolai let go of him: "Hu Hu, who is sixth on the heavenly list, stormed Daxing City with 10,000 dead soldiers more than ten days ago, why, didn't you receive any news?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhong raised his hand: "Marshal, the conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't know." ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Now you know, right? ”

Chen Zhong nodded: "Got it." ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Okay, you can order all the soldiers and horses in the pass, and work with me to support Daxing City, can you do it?" ”

Chen Zhong kicked his boots under his feet: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

As the two were talking, they heard a noisy crowd outside, Wang Xiaolai frowned when he heard the sound, turned his head to look, and saw that several soldiers were pointing to the sky and whispering.

Seeing Wang Xiaolai's expression, Chen Zhong strode forward: "What's wrong, what's wrong!" ”

The soldiers pointed to the night sky and said, "General, you see those stars flying towards us in the sky. ”

Chen Zhong slapped him and fell: "Don't talk nonsense? ”

Several soldiers were particularly aggrieved: "It's not a general, it's true, you see, it's here, it's here." ”

"You still say!" Chen Zhong was about to get angry, Wang Xiaolai had already walked over, frowned and looked, stared for a long time, and suddenly let out an exclamation: "Isn't that Kong Ming lantern?" ”

Chen Zhong was puzzled: "What Kong Ming lantern?" ”

Wang Xiaolai immediately called Ning Xi, pointed to the few Kong Ming lanterns floating in the air, and said, "Shoot it down for me." ”

Ning Xi wondered: "Marshal, how did the stars shoot down?" ”

"If you want to shoot, you'll shoot."

"Uh-oh."

As he spoke, Ning Xi drew his bow and arrows, aimed at the floating stars, and shouted.

With a whoosh, the bow opened the full moon, the arrow went to the meteor, and the Kong Ming lantern fell directly to the ground.

Wang Xiaolai shouted Jingyu, and Xian Jingyu immediately got on his horse and galloped away.

In just a moment, he picked up all the Kong Ming lanterns that were shot down by Ning Xi.

Chen Zhong leaned over and asked, "Marshal, what kind of lamp is this, what is it?" ”

Wang Xiaolai didn't speak, but his face became extremely ugly at this time.

You must know that the production method of this Kong Ming lantern was taught to Shu Jiuchai by Wang Xiaolai before and used for emergency contact, and now that Kong Ming Lantern has appeared, doesn't it mean that the situation in Daxing City is critical?

Moreover, there are still four or five lamps in a row, and each one has a letter asking for help, how not to let Wang Xiaolai be anxious, but behind the anxiety, there is also some laxity.

He clutched the letter tightly, looked at the direction of Daxing City, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Daxing City is still there, Daxing City is still there." ”

Chen Zhong was puzzled, and when he was about to ask, Wang Xiaolai turned around: "Chen Zhong!" ”

Chen Zhong immediately clenched his fists: "Yes." ”

"Now, I will requisition all military horses and chariots in Tongguan, including donkey carts and ox carts."

"All?"

"All!"

"Yes!"

···

On the battlefield of Yuzhou, Zhao Sui, Liu Mianyi and Jin Shichang confronted each other.

At the beginning, because of the lack of troops under Zhao Sui's account, it was difficult for him to take advantage of the frontal battlefield, and he was even suppressed by Jin Shichang and Liu Mianyi.

Within a few days, reinforcements from all over Yangzhou and Bingzhou arrived, and the situation was immediately reversed, and Liu Mianyi and Jin Shichang were separated and trapped in separate ways.

Zhao Sui rode on the tall horse again, and the whole person became energetic, he looked at Yanyang City with a smile, and said to his subordinate general Dong Kuang: "Since Wang Xiaolai joined the battlefield, this battle has become a tug-of-war. Victory, is not an overnight thing, if we want to win, we have to use some means, now, Wang Xiaolai's main force was attracted to support Daxing City, Jin Shichang and Liu Mianyi who stayed in Yuzhou, but two dishes, the order to go down, within ten days, take Xiaoyang, I want to see, in the case of fire on both sides, which one can he Wang Xiaolai save? ”

Dong Kuang nodded.

If you said that there were only 20,000 or 30,000 troops before, and you asked him to take Liu Mianyi's town in three days, Dong Kuang really didn't dare to take it, but now it's different, with a large number of reinforcements to participate in the battle, on the frontal battlefield, it is they who have an absolute advantage, and within ten days, if you can't take the lone army Liu Mianyi, Dong Kuang himself will have no face to live.

At the sound of an order, the regrouped 100,000 rebels launched a general attack on Hinyang with sufficient food and grass, complete armaments, and high fighting spirit.

On the city wall, Liu Mianyi gritted his teeth and looked at the rebels, and then looked back at the soldiers who had become embarrassed in the previous battle to suppress Zhao Sui, opened his mouth and bit off the little thumb of his right hand and spit it out, held the sword in his bloody hand, and roared: "People are in the city!" ”
