Chapter 68: Chaos in the Border City

When Gan Sui came back, he happened to see Banxia stepping on a chair and rummaging things in the cabinet. hurriedly walked over and hugged her down, and said disapprovingly: "You are not what you used to be now, how can you still climb high and low, what if you hold the child?" ”

"It's that serious, I'm just going to take a small object." Banxia disagreed, "It's three months later, the fetal image has been stabilized, don't be so anxious......"

Gan Sui didn't speak, just looked at her fixedly, Banxia was most afraid of Gan Sui's eyes, which made people feel guilty for no reason, "Okay, okay, I know, I will definitely not next time." ”

"What are you going to take?

"Just the small piece of cloth next to it, I touched the cloth quite breathable, and I will use it to make diapers for the baby when the time comes."

Gan Sui took off the cloth and put it on the table, sat down and talked to Banxia: "I'll go buy you a little girl tomorrow." ”

"Why, isn't there a mountain gardenia?"

"Shanyu, you don't think it's easy to call, I'll go buy a maid and get some things, it's still reliable."

"I think you're just trying to find someone to keep an eye on me."

"It's good to know, when you are a mother, you can't skin it anymore." Gan Sui tapped her nose slightly.

"I'll tell you, the baby is moving today."

"Really?" Gan Sui put his hand on Banxia's stomach and didn't move for a long time, "Why doesn't he move now?" ”

"He said that your father thinks about work all day long, and he doesn't care about him at all, so he doesn't want to ...... Ouch! The baby moved heavily.

"Let you talk nonsense, the baby knows that you are not right. The baby is only this once, you can't be so fierce to your mother, you have to be obedient in your mother's belly, and your father will buy you a beautiful flower skirt when the time comes. "My stomach didn't stop.

The second day coincided with Xiu Mu, and the stomach moved more in the morning, and Banxia got up with difficulty, "The baby must be a boy, I heard you say that you want to buy a flower skirt and toss me in a different way." ”

Gan Sui gently put his hand on Banxia's belly, "Baby, be well-behaved, don't make too much noise." "The baby seemed to be able to hear him talking, and slowly quieted down." Let me tell you a story. Gan Sui picked up a book with the words "The Law of the Great Liang" written on it.

Banxia looked frightened, "Are you sure you want to tell this to the baby?" ”

Gan Sui smiled embarrassedly, took the wrong one, and picked up the "Disciple Rules" next to him and began to read.

"I'm really worried that the baby will be born a little nerd."

"How is it possible, the baby must be a knowledgeable little lady." With a silly dad look, Banxia couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"I really want to be like this all the time, there is no political affairs, no troubles, only our family lives quietly." Gan Sui lay on Banxia's lap, his face against her stomach.

But the dull and beautiful days did not last long, and ten days later, the entire Liangzhou City was in chaos.

Banxia felt that he might never forget that day in his life, the sunset was like blood, and the fiery red clouds seemed to burn out his last rays of light, when suddenly a large flock of birds swept through the air in a panic, and a bloody soldier hurriedly rode into the city and rushed to the general's mansion. Dawan and Kohler joined forces, entangled tens of thousands of soldiers, and now they have broken through Dingxian, "Saying that, he fell straight and never woke up again."

The peaceful atmosphere of the previous moment was quickly torn apart, and the general with a fat brain panicked, he has been here for three years, and every time the Kohler people are petty fights, where have they seen such a scene. Before the war started, he said cowardly, "What to do, what to do...... There are tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the soldiers defending the city in Liangzhou are only a few thousand, how can the enemy be able to meet them. ”

"Why don't we run away, general?" The lady on the right suddenly said, "Now the situation is critical, it is impossible to defend the city, the lord can't put his life on the line, we take advantage of the night tonight no one is paying attention, hurry up and run back to the capital, when the time comes, there will be a father to intercede, Your Majesty will not dare to do anything to us." ”

"Madame Wise, let's pack our bags."

Determined to flee but not to let people see the flaws, the general's lieutenant general went to the Liangzhou Mansion to discuss the countermeasures: "Now that the army is pressing the city, our strength is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, why don't we take ......refuge for the time being."

"No, once the Liangzhou fortress is lost, the army will drive straight in, and there will be no troops that can stop it in front of Minzhou, and the people of these states will definitely be destroyed."

"What does Lord Igan see now?"

"At present, Xia Ling County has not lost the ability to send additional troops, one can lay a trap based on the high mountains of Ling County to strangle the enemy, and the other can delay the enemy's forward offensive and build a Liangzhou defense line."

"It is worthy of being the champion of my dynasty, and what Lord Gan said is very reasonable. The old man has a shallow time in learning, and now he urgently needs to study the military book in order to seek a strategy to break the enemy, Deputy General Yu, Deputy General Tian, you will temporarily obey the dispatch of Lord Gan, and we will discuss it tomorrow. ”

Vice General Yu and Vice General Tian glanced at each other, then nodded and said, "Please ask Lord Gan to command." ”

"Don't dare to take orders, let's take a look at the current strength first."

"Then the three of you will discuss it first, and I'll go back to the house first." General Mu returned home, and the remaining three only thought that he was timid and afraid, so he had to take it slowly first, and he didn't care too much. instructed the messenger to say a word to Banxia, and took Lu Ying to the barracks.

The four of them rode fast horses to the barracks, and saw the silver battle flag on a black background fluttering in the wind from a distance, and the big "beam" character was engraved in the meantime, and the gate of the barracks slowly opened when the three people dismounted, and the atmosphere in the camp was tense, and groups of soldiers wearing armor were patrolling the camp.

"The appearance of this army is really extraordinary."

"The general doesn't come to the camp very much, here on weekdays, I and Vice General Tian are co-directors, we are rough people, we don't understand anything else, we just practice as when General Lin was still there."

"You were soldiers led by Lin Tianyu before?"

"Your Excellency knows him?"

"I saw it when he surrounded and suppressed pirates in Qiongyun Prefecture, and he was a good general who stood up to the sky and served the country and the people."

"What's the use of that, the good guy didn't report it, and the general doesn't know where he was assigned now, but it's a pity that Lao Yu and I couldn't go with them back then, otherwise I wouldn't have nested under this old man to make a living, and I don't know if I can see the general again in my lifetime."

"Surely, maybe soon." Gan Sui said mysteriously, "Okay, let the spies talk about the current situation first." ”

"Report, now the enemy army is taking Dingxian as a base to loot grain, set up camp, and tomorrow will storm the county seat of Lingxian." The spies talk back.

"What is the situation in Dingxian?"

"The enemy army attacked the city in the afternoon today, everyone was at home, first attacked the city with rockets, and then used trebuchets to smash open the city gate to chop melons and vegetables, but it took more than an hour to occupy Dingxian. After the great looting and slaughter in the city, he set up camp in Dingxian, and now the people of Dingxian have died nine times out of ten. ”

"It means that the enemy army has been resting for more than an hour?" Gan Sui asked.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"The enemy army is resting, it must be to seek a bigger goal, Dingxian is richer than Lingxian, and once it is captured, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that the enemy army will choose to sneak attack at night and quickly take Lingxian."

"Vice General Yu, please quickly transfer the five hundred vanguard army, go to Lingxian County to defend the city tower, evacuate the people, you must be fast, except for the young and strong who can be used to build the city wall, let the rest of the people move to a safe place here before dark. It is important to remember that as long as the people are sure to move, there must be no fighting, and hopefully there will be no casualties. ”

"Yes."

Vice Admiral Yu went quickly. When he arrived in Lingxian, he went to find Wang Xianling, who was in a hurry, and when he heard that Gan Sui sent someone down, he was reassured at once, and asked the servants to quickly beat gongs and drums to inform people to transfer.

Most people didn't want to leave, so they experienced the snow disaster, lived in a house that did not leak wind and snow, and now they were forced to leave again, Wang Xian Ling followed the messengers to do the work one by one, and when the smoke rose, everyone had already gathered outside the city and began to be escorted away by dozens of soldiers.

There were also hundreds of young men who volunteered to stay behind to strengthen the barrier of the city wall.

"Won't Wang Xianling go with them?"

"My wife passed away five years ago, and my son went to Dingxian to visit my daughter yesterday...... It's not the same where I'm going now, I'm more familiar with it, and I can help you when I stay. ”

Vice General Yu did not persuade Ding Qi to protect the safety of Wang County. ”

"Yes."

The enemy army came faster than they expected, and as they were carrying tung oil to the city gate, they heard the sound of horses' hooves drifting from far outside the city: "The enemy is coming, the archers are ready!" ”

The black-pressed enemy army came slowly, like a dark cloud covering the last rays of sunlight.

"One hundred and fifty steps...... One hundred steps...... Fifty steps...... Shoot the arrows! "Dense arrows flew outward. Someone fell from an arrow, and quickly behind him and someone moved forward, and in a short time the men and horses were already under the city.

"Listen, the people of the city, if you surrender now and kneel to welcome us into the city, you can spare your life, if you stubbornly resist, then don't blame our men for being ruthless." The person who shouted had a beard on his face, and his muscles were full of muscles as if he were about to break through his armor.

"The people of my Liang Kingdom are all men who stand up to the sky, how can they wait for mongrels."

The bearded face turned gloomy, and he turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Warriors, follow me and use the blood of these Liang dogs to give me a sacrifice flag." Offensive! "The strong trumpet blows, and the black oppressive army presses up.

"Tung oil, pour!" Dozens of barrels of tung oil fell rapidly, and a deep ditch had already been dug at the gate of the city, and the torch quickly burned into a fire dragon.

"Retreat!" Vice General Yu shouted, and everyone went down to the city tower and began to retreat to Liangzhou.

Half an hour later, before the blood of the gates had yet to curd, and soldiers had been wounded or killed in a fire, and the smell of charred flesh filled the city, and the Kohlers stepped into the city with their charred corpses. "I didn't expect this group of people to be on guard, and there was no one in the city. General Namu can rest in the city for the night tonight, right? The bearded man who had just shouted asked.

"Of course, but we are used to living in tents for our grassland children, and the beds of this Liang country are probably not used to it, so let's set up camp in the city."

"General Namu really doesn't know how to enjoy it, I don't want to live in a tent anymore, I'm going to sleep in the county mansion for one night, I can't forget the feeling of a high bed and a warm pillow yesterday."

"Whatever you want, don't forget to leave on time tomorrow."

"Brothers, who wants to live in the big courtyard with me?"

"I do...... I'm willing to ......" There are dozens of people who want to go to live in the prefectural government.

"A group of shallow-eyed fools, the county government is happy to be like this. I'm going to live ...... But the Imperial Palace in Beijing. ”

"The general is ambitious, and you will follow him to the death."

Deputy General Yu and his party rode across the border of Lingxian County, found that the enemy was not chasing, stopped their horses and began to count the number of people, most of the brothers were fine, but a small number were slightly injured.

"What about the Wang County Order, who saw the Wang County Order?"

"Didn't see ......"

"He said he was going back to the county government to get something, let's go first."

"No, how can he be left alone as a powerless scholar, I have to go to the city to see."

"General...... The city is now full of enemies, how can you go? ”

"But Wang Xianling is a good person, no, I'm going to take a look. I knew there was a trail in the back mountain. Rest assured, I will be back......"

The people around him knocked him out directly.

Chachai and others entered the county office.

"My lord, how do I feel the smell of tung oil?"

Cha Chai, sniffed, "No, you're afraid that your kid was burned by the fire just now." ”

"Brothers, go find your own place to stay, sleep in whichever room you want......" Suddenly I heard a bang, and a huge stone slammed into the front of the gate, and the gate was blocked.

"Dog mongrel, give my son a burial......"

Wang Xian Ling threw the torch on the house, and the house was all drenched with tung oil.

"Old Pifu ......" Chachai directly cut off Wang Xianling's head with a knife.

The fire was out of control, and soon the entire prefectural government was in flames.
