Chapter 268: I can't put it off
"Who are you?" Mo Li felt that the figure was familiar, so he asked.
The footsteps paused, Mo Li chased after him, stood in front of him, a few steps away, the person's face was not clear, but he would feel that he was very good-looking. I couldn't help frowning and asked again: "Who are you?" Do we know each other? ”
"Alas......" just a soft sigh, and the man walked around Mo Li towards a path. Mo Li called him again, but he didn't stop a step, and soon disappeared among the flowers.
Just when Mo Li was puzzled, the scene changed again, and the sky and earth were filled with lightning and thunder, filled with a heavy smell of blood. Wails and sword shadows bloomed in the air, and the stumps and severed arms that could be seen everywhere made people feel chills. A figure in black gold armor was fighting in the crowd, blood staining his battle robe, and the tall figure was like a hell Shura, and everywhere he went, there was a shadow of sword light and blood......
"Miss, the King of Jin has gathered 50,000 horses to besiege the capital." Ruoping told Mo Li about the inquirement, interrupting her thoughts.
"How could it be...... So many people? Mo Li frowned, although she didn't know how many people the imperial court had in the capital, maybe not even half of these.
Ruoping was silent before he said: "Miss, don't worry too much, the walls of the capital are tall and strong, and the moat is wide and deep, so it is not so easy to break." ”
"Having said that, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and even a wheel battle can drag people down." Mo Li didn't know much about the art of war, but she knew that it was not easy to win more with less, "I don't know if the general has a good strategy for retreating." ”
"Miss, Miss, Da Zhuang is back!" Danyu led Xu Dazhuang in, Xu Dazhuang wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Miss, there is a team of people and horses heading in the direction of the capital, and the road they are walking is only a dozen miles away from us. Still is...... Hide. ”
The women and children of the family were taken into the dark room under the flower house, and the Lu family couldn't help frowning, she had been pampered for many years, and she felt aggrieved enough after living in the courtyard for a few days, and now she had to go underground.
"It's so small, how do you live?"
Mo Li ignored her, assigned everyone's room and went back to his room to rest.
Time was in a hurry, there were only six rooms in the secret room for the time being, Mo Li and Duan's mother and son lived in one, Lu occupied one alone, and the two aunts originally wanted to squeeze one room with their daughters, but they were called by Murong Wan by Liu. Murong Rui was supposed to live in one room, but he insisted that Da Zhuang live with him. The remaining two rooms were left to the maids and grandmothers.
Although each room is quite large, the ladies and ladies who are used to living in the courtyard of the deep house are obviously not suitable for this living environment, but in this special period, they can only settle for a while.
"Xi'er, here...... Will it work? It was the first time for Duan to see this kind of secret room, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Mo Li patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, sister-in-law." It's a sturdy place, and there's a flower room on top of it for cover, so even if you do come in, you won't be noticed. In addition, I have a follow-up move. ”
Hearing her say this, Duan's heart was also relieved, coaxing Mo Haoxian, and telling him to be obedient and not to run around.
……
In the capital, the king of Jin has been redeployed, and the soldiers and horses left outside the city in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing have been repulsed. Leading the troops was Murong Chu's lieutenant Sun Han, and the order he received was to make a feint attack on the rebels outside the city.
The thing is clear, he has less than 20,000 people in his hands, how can he fight against the tens of thousands of rebels outside the city? So he can only make a sneak attack from time to time, and when he is discovered, he turns around and runs. has been by General Murong's side for many years, and it is the first time to fight such a bad battle, which makes Sun Han can't help but just want to scold.
The rebels began a new round of attack, and the new emperor personally climbed the city wall, looking at the black oppression below, and couldn't help but be frightened. It's true that the walls of the capital are strong, but they have to be guarded. Now that the city is full of more than 20,000 people, how to deal with the 80,000 rebels outside the city?
The secret letter of moving troops was sent, but it is still a question whether the capital can rely on them to get reinforcements. The new emperor was bitter, he didn't want to be the emperor who reigned for the shortest time in history.
"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace first, it's dangerous here." The palace people around him persuaded with a sharp voice.
Now that the emperor has little time, if the new emperor is ...... I'm afraid that's all over.
The shouting and killing of the city continued, Zhong Hanchi, the king of Jin, sat in the big tent, and he knew the situation in the capital, there were only more than 20,000 people, the city gate had to be guarded, and the inner city could not leave no people, so there would only be 4,000 people at most at each city gate. He now has 80,000 men, and as long as he attacks one place, he can drive straight into the palace and kill him.
The siege and defense of the city were very hard, and the arrows from the towers rained down like drops, and rows of soldiers fell, and the people behind rushed up again. However, the rebels were numerous, and some soldiers would always rush up the city wall under the cover of their companions and engage in close combat with the soldiers defending the city. Over the course of two days, the number of casualties on both sides continued to increase.
"Lord Qiqi, there is movement in the direction of Yuncheng. The Great Prince mobilized his forces and was heading in the direction of the capital. A dusty guard knelt in the center of the tent, his voice hoarse as a saw.
"Got it, let's go down and rest first." King Jin waved his hand and sent the guards down.
Xiao Wentong frowned and said, "Lord Wang, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid things will change." ”
The king of Jin didn't know that he couldn't continue to delay, the eldest prince Zhong Hanqing had been stationed in Yuncheng, with 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus garrisons from all over the surrounding areas, he could make up 100,000 people, to say the least. Yuncheng is not too far from the capital, and if you march in a hurry, you can arrive in a few days.
Wu Huarong, Wang Sheng, Xu Qing, and Zhang Jisheng each led 10,000 horses to attack the four city gates. It's naturally good that the four of you can capture it, and it doesn't matter if you can't capture it, as long as you drag the defenders of the city. King Jin said.
"The last general obeys!" The four of them surrendered their orders and exited the big tent.
King Jin looked at Xiao Wentong and said to a man in black beside him: "Qin Wu, lead the three hundred people under your command to act according to the previous deployment of the prime minister, and set off after dark." ”
"Subordinates obey!" Qin Wu answered, and also went out of the big tent to gather his men.
As the sun sets, the rebels outside the city begin to storm again. On the city wall, Mo Jinyu scolded his mother, this was his first time on the battlefield, but he didn't want to have no chance to confront the enemy on the battlefield at all, so he could only command the soldiers to shoot arrows and throw stones down on the city wall. This was far from his expectations, and his ideal was to rush out of the city with his men and horses, and fight the enemy heartily, fighting to the death.
But his brother-in-law, General Murong, ordered the city gate to be strictly guarded and not allowed to go out of the city to fight. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer soldiers in the city, the city does not know how long it will be defended.
It was getting dark, and the rebels outside the city were repulsed one after another, but the other side didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and continued to rush up.
