Chapter 53: Jade Capital City

At dusk, in Yujing City, the autumn rain is getting heavier and heavier, the raindrops hit the stone floor, splashing countless splashes, the air is so dull that people are breathless, every household closes the door and closes the windows, especially those big families, princes and nobles, originally at this time, there are many families outside the door to clean up the courtyard and clean the leaves that were swept down by the autumn rain, but now there is no one.

There were almost no human figures on the originally bustling streets, and even a few pedestrians were in a hurry, with trance-like faces.

Since the report that the Qingzhikou Pass was broken by the Western Regions and Yunmeng armies seven days ago, the entire Yujing City has always been like this, everyone has a kind of catastrophe coming, and the rich families in the city have packed up their soft and fled south early, so that Yujing, which originally gathered most of the essence of the world, lost more than thirty percent of its popularity in an instant.

It stands to reason that more than 20 years ago, the Yunmeng army also broke through the Qing Killing, and then the soldiers pointed directly at Yujing City, this has only gone through a generation, people should not be so flustered, at least the current Daqian is more than a step stronger than more than 20 years ago, and it was able to resist the Yunmeng soldiers before, and this time it should be okay.

However, this is only for the ordinary people below, and for those high-level people who are really well-informed, these two times are completely different, because Emperor Qiandi Yang Pan has already run away.

On the day that the Qingzhikou Mansion reported that he arrived in Beijing, Yang Pan made a plan to move the capital to avoid the edge temporarily, and took the most elite Imperial Forest Army under his command to the south without any hesitation, intending to open up a new situation in the southern provinces and resist the coalition forces of the Western Regions and Yunmeng.

Some people are puzzled, in the past, Emperor Qiandi Yang Pan had just succeeded to the throne, and Qing Kill was defeated, but he still defended the Yujing City, and millions of soldiers and civilians worked together to drag Yuwen Mu, the commander of the Yunmeng army, to the Dream God Machine to kill the commander of the Yunmeng army, and finally turned defeat into victory, so it is obvious that this person is not a cowardly person, why is he a shrinking turtle this time, and he ran away without daring to fight?

Many families and wealthy families have specifically analyzed this point, and finally have to admit that Yang Pan is still as cunning as ever, but this time he has taken a wonderful move.

Abandoning the city and running away is of course a great blow to the reputation of the Daqian royal family, but this avoids the loss of strength, with the current strength of the royal family, the defense is not impossible to hold, although the Western Regions, Yunmeng coalition army is known as a million, but relying on the strong city, more than a dozen of the most elite forbidden troops of the Daqian are enough to resist the governors of the provinces to raise troops to the king, and then repeat the war situation of the year. It's just that in this way, the family that was torn apart by Yang Pan's spread into acres and the inventory of hidden households will definitely take advantage of the fact that after the war, when the royal family is weak, they will counterattack and pick up a ready-made bargain, so that Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, the two monarchs and ministers, can no longer suppress the court. After all, because of the distance, grain and grass, the foreign army will definitely not be able to reach the south, if the northern family does not want to surrender to the enemy, then they can only go up by themselves, but the family can descend, as the living saint Hong Yi can fall? If he can't fight the righteous death, his reputation as a sub-saint will be ruined, and he will no longer have the confidence to lead the literary world.

"Bastard! Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, you traitors, abandon millions of soldiers and civilians for your own selfishness, you are simply cold-blooded scum! ”

At the head of Yujing City, Hong Yi listened to the report of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the capital, his eyes were red with anger, and he slapped on the battlements with a slap.

Although he had been prepared in his heart for a long time, but after learning the true situation of Yujing City, Hong Yi still felt that he thought too kindly to Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, the monarch and minister, and when they left, they really took everything they could take away, and now the huge Beijing Division, there are less than 50,000 soldiers who can fight, among them are either the old, weak, sick and disabled, or those who are mixed and waiting for death, and the grain and grass are less than one million quintals, and it is enough for all soldiers and civilians to eat for five or six days, and even less than thirty percent of the usual reserves, it can be said that if you can't retreat from the enemy in a short time, you don't need the Western Regions, The Yunmeng army made a move, and the people in Yujing City had to starve themselves to death.

"Ya, Yasheng, what are we going to do? Without soldiers and food, this jade capital city can't be defended at all! ”

The commander of the Terracotta Division asked with a sad face, it's not that he doesn't want to run for his life like everyone else, it's a pity that his duty is to guard the Jade Capital City, if he leaves for no reason, then it is a death to escape, it is better to simply stay here and fight for a name!

As for the surrender, the commander may still think about it in the past, but unfortunately I heard that those people in the north this time don't want to be taken prisoner at all, since the Qing Killing, they have slaughtered several cities, and there is no grass left in the place they pass, so there is no mercy at all.

After seeing Hong Yi, a famous Yasheng in the literary world, the commander regarded it as the last straw, counting on the other party to come up with an idea!

Taking a deep breath, Hong Yi suppressed his hatred for Emperor Qian's ministers and ministers, and said methodically while knocking his fingers on the wall battlements: "Don't worry, I have my own plans for grain and grass, I dare not say that I will persist for ten or eight years, but it is still okay to maintain it for a year and a half, and the most important thing now is the issue of troops!" In this way, you first send someone to contact the families in the city, collect their private soldiers and house slaves, and estimate that you can gather 10,000 or 20,000 horses, most of these people have been trained, and a few have seen blood, and when defending the city, they are no less than the elite of the Imperial Forest Army, and they can act as the backbone, and then post notices in the city, tell the story, recruit the villagers, and the soldiers and civilians of Yujing City are million, how can we also mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 horses, so that plus the troops we have on hand should be more than 100,000, relying on the strong city, it is not without a fight! The armies of the Western Regions and Yunmeng came from afar, the rear was unstable, and the grain and grass were insufficient, as long as we could keep the moon, then things would have taken a turn for the better. ”

Hong Yi's calm appearance seemed to have an amazing magic, and the command gradually calmed down the originally anxious heart, clasped his hands into fists, and then walked down the city wall to arrange.

It's a pity that watching this person leave, Hong Yi's originally confident face was filled with sorrow.

It's simple, but how can it be so easy? With dragon tooth rice, Hong Yi is confident that he can supply the residents of the city with food and grass for more than a year, but the cultivation of dragon tooth rice requires thunder, which means that the king of the artifact on his side, the Eternal Realm, cannot exert his full strength, who will contain Mo Wen's artifact? Collecting the private soldiers and domestic slaves of the wealthy families, isn't this the same as asking for the lives of the other party, for those families, I'm afraid it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as they don't shake their foundation, they don't care if the other party is a big man! It sounds good to say that everyone is united and defends their homeland, but as long as those newly recruited soldiers can have some combat power, how can they be the opponents of the tiger and wolf armies in the Western Regions and Yunmeng? Moreover, it is not in line with one's own wishes to let the people suffer heavy casualties!

Straightening out the train of thought in his heart little by little, no matter how Hong Yi thought about it, he felt that this Jade Capital City could not be defended, as long as Mo Wen really wanted to fight, then he would definitely be able to fight!

"Can I hold it?"

Muttering in a whisper, Hong Yi thought a little distractedly, although his intuition had been telling him that he should be safe before the I Ching was born, but when it came to his overall plan for the future, he was still a little worried.

At this time, a crystal streamer came from the air with the wind and fell to Hong Yi's ears, and some whispers came from it.

"Don't worry, if he wants to kill you, he will do it a long time ago, since he didn't, it means that the situation is not so bad!"

If Mo Wen was here, he would definitely hear that this was the voice of the Taishang Dao Sect Master Dream God Machine, who had a relationship with him, and it was obvious that this one had come to Hong Yi's side since the last time he said goodbye.

Hong Yi frowned and shook his head gently.

"Maybe the guy who was always moody, and no one could tell what was going on in his mind. A few days ago, none of the people in the world could have imagined that he would send troops to kill him when the rear was unstableβ€”"

I was about to say something, but Hong Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes looked straight ahead.

I saw that outside Yujing City, in the dark autumn rain at dusk, in the direction of Xishan, a black line slowly appeared.

The dull sound of footsteps, the faint sound of horses, the sound of weapons and armor rubbing against each other, from small to large, and finally like a crazy wave.

10,000, 20,000, 30,000...... 50,000 ...... Lakh...... 200,000 ......, 300,000 ...... 600,000 ...... Looking at the approaching group of soldiers, cavalry, and Zhan Feng, the soldiers standing on the city wall gasped and clenched their weapons in fear.

Hong Yi shook his head, looked at the army in the distance and sighed bitterly, this was faster than he thought, if he still had three layers of certainty before, then now it is not even one layer.

It's just that he will never give up until the end, and in a few steps he walked to a soldier with a horn hanging from his waist.

"So, what are you waiting for?!"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then reacted, took off his horn, and came out with all his might.

Airplanes! - Buzz! - Buzz!

The muffled sound of a trumpet echoed throughout the city walls in an instant.

"- Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

With a brief moment of panic, the soldiers began to shout, and the sound of long horns came and went, and finally joined together, piercing the silence of the jade capital city like sharp swords.
