A dozen or so carts of watermelons were parked horizontally and vertically on the crossings by the city gate, which looked extremely crowded, and the leading officer frowned, strode forward, and went straight to the first car with the so-called broken axle to check. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This is a fairly ordinary cargo truck, which can be seen everywhere in the East Continent, four-wheeled and four-horse, high compartment and low canopy, the rear carriage baffle can be put down and dragged all the way to the surface, which is convenient for porters or porters to get on and off the goods, the left front of the cargo compartment has been crooked and sunken, dozens of large watermelons have rolled to the ground, a few have cracked, and bright red juice and melon pulp splashed all over the ground, attracting countless mosquitoes and flies. The spokes of the wheels were twisted and damaged, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.

However, because he had already had suspicions, the leading officer did not intend to stop there, he bent down to carefully check the cause of the fracture of the axle, and what caught his eye was a thick axle, when the traces of the new sawing on the axle suddenly appeared in front of him, the leading officer was shocked in his heart, and he suddenly turned over and wanted to stand up, but a sharp pain came from his waist, and he turned back in shock, and the hideous smile of the melon seller was slowly disappearing from his face, and the fountain-like plasma suddenly gushed out, splashing the other party's body," I'm sorry, you shouldn't be so serious. ”

The throat seemed to be pinched by the other party all of a sudden, and the strength of the whole body disappeared at once, and he leaned softly against the wheel and paralyzed, pointing at the other party with all his last strength: "You ;;;;;;"

"Yes, we are from Lujiang!" grinned, and the melon seller who took the lead shook his head regretfully, and wanted to leave.

Gritting his teeth, he wanted to use his last strength to call for help and warning, but it seemed that something was blocked in his throat, and it was pitch black in front of him, and his body softened, and he suddenly fell into endless darkness.

"It's a man, it's a pity that he was born in the wrong place!" shook his head regretfully, and took the lead in the melon dealer to look back and signal, a few wolf-like melon dealers and the idle man who had been watching the excitement immediately pounced on the other patrol soldiers who didn't know that something had happened here and were still tasting watermelons in a big way.

After a few muffled grunts, the patrol team ended its mission before it had time to react, and the melon dealers and idlers who had freed up rushed towards the sentry tower at the head of the wall, and the remaining melon dealers had already controlled the city gate, and a bell arrow with a terrible whistle shot straight into the woods on the hill in the distance. The soldiers in tan suits soon roared out of the hills and woods, and the Taiping soldiers who fought and killed the Lin family agents who attacked the sentry tower suddenly felt powerless, no wonder the caravan had been much smaller in the past two days, and it turned out that the enemy had long been ready for a sneak attack.

The garrison soldiers who received the alarm and the Lin family's army that swooped in from outside the city rushed to the open city gate almost at the same time, there were no extra words, and there were no other fancy, some were just red-eyed and fighting for their lives, exchanging their lives for their lives, everyone knew the important surname of the city gate, whoever controlled the city gate would win the final victory!

The originally spacious city gate suddenly seemed so crowded, the Taiping army in white clothes and red jin and the Sanjiang army in brown clothes and armor looked distinct, and all the formations here were useless, whoever could let the other party fall down first would have the upper hand. The clash of gold and iron, the dull sound, the shouting and wailing, the shouting of the golden drum, and the heavy sounds are intertwined, forming an incomparably cheap auction house of life here.

The battle has been in a stalemate, until the hoplites wearing heavy armor and holding halberds appeared in a neat formation at the other end of the fortress, and the Taiping army, which had been gritting its teeth and persevering, finally lost its fighting spirit, and the whole line collapsed.

On July 26, 696 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the First Army of Sanjiang suddenly sent troops to Xin'anshan, an important town in the south of Jincheng Prefecture, and the Taiping Army's 5,000-strong troops stationed in Xin'anshan were annihilated, and Xin'anshan changed hands. On July 29, the Sanjiang Army marched west non-stop and swept the southern border of Jincheng, and on July 31, it captured the southwest fortress of Jincheng - Baima Pass, and continued to advance northward, forming an encirclement posture for Jincheng Fucheng, which was hundreds of miles away, and Jincheng was in an emergency.

In the face of the aggressive and severe situation, Qiu Zicheng, the defender of the Taiping Army on the eastern front of Jincheng, was forced to abandon the dangerous terrain of the eastern front and retreat on the whole line under the threat from the south and the great pressure of Feng Qi, the governor of Hanzhong, who presided over the overall situation of Kansai, and retreated on all fronts.

"Lord Qiu, we gave up the dangerous position but ran here, the city wall of Jincheng Mansion is low and dilapidated, and it is located in a flat place, there is no precipitous place to rely on, if we let the Sanjiang army and the emperor [***] team form an encirclement, I am afraid that our only way out will be broken!" The worried lieutenant couldn't help but remind the haggard face of the commander.

"But if we retreat without even fighting a battle, how can we explain to Bo Xiang and Lord Feng? Military law is ruthless, I'm afraid that we won't be able to pass this hurdle. The voice was low, Qiu Zicheng looked a little tired, and he no longer had the heroic posture of Hanzhong Mansion, strolling on the city wall of Jincheng Mansion.

Because this Jincheng Mansion is located in the hinterland of Kansai, close to Wuhu County in the east, there has been no war for hundreds of years, and the city defense facilities have long been deserted, and the successive local political axes have not paid much attention to the city defense facilities, most of them are perfunctory, do superficial things, there is no moat, and most of the regular sentry towers and hidden forts on the city wall are also unusable, if there is a big battle, they cannot bear the responsibility of defense at all, Qiu Zicheng also knows this, and his heart is extremely heavy.

When the Sanjiang army raided the south of Jincheng, Qiu Zicheng was keenly aware of the secret collusion between the empire and the Lin family and the camouflage made on the surface, and concluded that the empire would definitely launch an offensive on the eastern front of Jincheng, and although the two families had a secret agreement, but the two sides looked like they were separated, and it was impossible to cooperate so closely. The team couldn't cross the thunder pond for half a step, and after a while, the Sanjiang army would consider whether its Lujiang base area would be attacked by the imperial army and withdraw. However, Feng Qi, who was in charge of the overall situation, ignored the changes in the situation, blindly let himself retreat and stick to Jincheng Fucheng, and was unwilling to send troops to Jincheng, which made him in a dilemma, and finally ended up in such a situation.

"But my lord, if you think about it, the two elite divisions of Sanjiang have already been flanked, and now an army of more than 100,000 troops in the empire is pressing over from the east with an overwhelming momentum, and with a mere Jincheng Mansion and our less than 50,000 troops, it is purely an egg to hit a stone, do we have to end up with a total annihilation in order to fulfill Feng Qi's intentions?" The adjutant general's words were full of indignation.

"Presumptuous! Drink to stop the prison scratches of his subordinates, Qiu Zicheng's heart is the same as boiling water, this Feng Qi commanded indiscriminately, let himself give up the favorable terrain but come to stick to this useless Jincheng City, now this Jincheng trend has gone but repeatedly ordered himself to stick to Jincheng, otherwise he will have to engage in military law, obviously to borrow a knife to kill, let himself bear the crime of the unfavorable situation in Jincheng, but he has no way to resolve it, is it really so tricky, he has some knowledge and ambition but wants to end up in such a dismal endFor a while, many past events came back to me in my mind, and my heart was like numbness.

"My lord, you have to make up your mind early, our tens of thousands of brothers have all followed you out of their hometowns, people don't take us seriously, we have to cherish ourselves. Seeing that the coach seemed to be a little moved, the deputy general relied on the special relationship between the two and had the courage to speak.

Fierce eyes swept the other party, Qiu Zicheng did not speak, just silently walked forward, the deputy general shrank and did not dare to say more, he knew that his coach needed to be thoughtful at this time, after all, the worth of tens of thousands of brothers is between this thought, and a little negligence may cause a big disaster.

The twilight is heavy, and the red is gradually westing, but Qiu Zicheng's heart is cold and cold, what should I do? Time waits for no one, and if you want to withdraw, you need to hurry up and act immediately, otherwise once the two armies of the empire and the Lin family form an encirclement, even if you want to run at that time, it will be too late. What should I do if I just evacuate Jincheng? When I went to Hanzhong, I was afraid that Feng Qi only wanted his own head to block the mouths of everyone in the sect and did not want to see himself.

Or just don't do it, Suo surnamed ;;;;;; shook his head, the corners of Qiu Zicheng's mouth showed a wry smile, surrender to the Lin family? I'm afraid that there is no good fruit, the Sanjiang Lin family has always paid attention to blood relations and qualifications, just from the control of the military power of the Sanjiang Lin family, you can know the xenophobic surname of the Sanjiang army, surrender to them, and categorically not get reused, not to mention, the Lin family will hand over their own people to the empire in order to curry favor with the empire; I'm afraid that there will be no good results, the Taiping Sect has become a big problem for the empire, and his surrender is still with tens of thousands of horses, can the empire rest assured?

Fighting, not winning, retreating, no way back, surrendering, not daring to surrender, Qiu Zicheng himself is a little desperate, so what should he and this group of brothers who followed him out of his hometown do?

"My lord, why don't we ;;;;;;" The lieutenant finally couldn't bear it anymore and said again.

"Why don't you do that?" This time Qiu Zicheng didn't interrupt the other party again, but just asked softly.

"If you surrender to the empire, I don't think this Taiping Sect looks like the master of a big thing, and it's not at all the same as what they said when they invited us to join the gang, damn, the bullshit doesn't understand and you have to command blindly there, it's better to dedicate this Jincheng Mansion to the empire, maybe you can get an official and a half position for the brothers." The adjutant finally spoke his inner words.

Qiu Zicheng pondered for a long time and did not open his mouth, his group of brothers who came out of his hometown were not the devout followers of the Taiping Sect in the first place, they occupied the mountains and were at ease, if it were not for the sake of sealing his wife and seeking a rich and noble son, who would have mixed up with the Taiping Sect? At this time, the situation has changed, and if the surrender of the empire can make a good future, then it is no wonder that everyone has different aspirations.
