The yellow dust was rolling, and the smoke and dust splashed by the horses' hooves on the road were overwhelming, because it was not a horse, it was the sound of countless horses stepping over, riding horses, and rumbling horses on the ground.

You can see a city in front of you from afar, at the forefront of this cavalry team, there is a woman, she saw the city in front, so she reined in the horse's reins, and several of her cronies behind her also reined in the horse, this woman is none other than Ye Lixun, the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom.

"Yanjing City!" Ye Lixun said so. "I, Ye Lixun, have to figure out what's going on!"

As she spoke, the horse she sat down on was still reined in abruptly, and it walked slowly back and forth in small steps.

After saying this, Ye Lixun suddenly shouted to the cronies behind him: "Kill back to Yanjing again with this palace!" ”

"Kill back to Yanjing!!"

"Kill back to Yanjing!!"

"Kill back to Yanjing!!"

Then, Ye Lixun waved the horse's buttocks again with a horsewhip behind him, and with the clear cheer of "driving", the horse galloped forward quickly, and the horse team behind him also galloped towards Yanjing City.

Yanjing City.

At the entrance of Sweet Water Lane, at this time, because the Wuzhen people and other tribes had already left Yanjing, it was naturally impossible for Sweet Water Lane to maintain military dynamics at this time.

At the entrance of the alley, two prisoners in the prison of the original punishment department, at this time these prisoners have changed their clothes and look no longer so dirty, these two prisoners are each holding a spear at this time, guarding the entrance of the alley.

But the reason why Wuzhen and the other grassland tribes are gone, they also seem to be more relaxed.

"This time, the vultures have all withdrawn, what are your plans in the future, junior?" One of the two guards was fatter, and then he said with a smile to the other thin-faced strong man guard.

The thin-faced strong man guarded the "little three", and he was obviously very happy at this time, he was already able to live a good life, he said: "I don't have any big ideals, I just want to guard the hot kang head of my mother-in-law and children, and live a beautiful life, hehe." ”

"Look at your bear-like look?" The fat guard scolded with a smile, "I remember that you haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, and you miss having children?" ”

"Little San" also looked a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he was about to say something, when a herald rode over on horseback.

Liang Hong previously felt that the Wuzhen and other grassland tribes had withdrawn from Yanjing, but Liang Hong was not at ease, on the other hand, he was also waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court, so he had to put a few heralds to watch at the four gates, at least there was something going on outside the city, and the city could quickly find out.

Seeing this herald coming, because it was a herald, and the junior and two people also knew each other, they naturally let him go.

Seeing that the herald rode over directly,—— in order for the herald to deliver the news in time, Liang Hong gave him a horse.

Xiao San and the fat guard were a little surprised at this time, and the fat guard said, "This ...... Could this be another war? ”

Xiao San said: "No, Wu Zhenren just left, maybe it is Dakang's reinforcements coming." ”

The two little guards couldn't guess what was going on.

At this time, in the glass making workshop, because it was almost noon, Liang Hong, Shi Mao and Zhang Tingyan, the three of them were all in Liang Hong's office in the glass workshop, and they were all sitting inside, chatting happily.

After all, as soon as Wuzhen and the other tribes left, they only waited for Dakang's reinforcements to arrive.

At this moment, somehow one of the three made a joke again, and outside the office, the sound of the three people laughing could be heard.

However, at this moment, the voice of the herald suddenly came from outside.

This announcement suddenly disturbed the relaxed atmosphere in the room, Liang Hong, Zhang Tingyan, and Shi Mao stopped laughing, and at this time, the door was also opened from the outside.

"Report, three adults, a large number of cavalry were found at the north city gate, and they were galloping towards the city gate quickly!" The herald immediately fell to one knee and reported.

Zhang Tingyan immediately asked: "Is it that the Wuzhen people have killed again?" ”

The herald said, "It's still far away, I didn't see it clearly, but I saw that they were galloping towards the city gate, and the little one came to report it!" ”

When Shi Mao heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Oh, it must be a vulture, they are here to kill the carbine!"

I should have placed men on the city wall a long time ago,—— now that we are unprepared, they can directly attack the city, and there is no strong city to defend, so won't we become someone else's urn? ”

Liang Hong groaned for a while, frowned and said: "General Shi, don't blame yourself, none of us thought of this, besides, with these people under our hands, guarding the city, and this is a big city like Yanjing City, our manpower is not enough to defend it."

Now the top priority is to gather all the soldiers and guard Sweetwater Lane and its vicinity! ”

Zhang Tingyan immediately agreed: "Even if we defend and die here, we can't just let the Wuzhen people pick up a siege weapon like a trebuchet."

My lord, should we destroy the trebuchet now, or if we can't defend Sweetwater Alley, won't the trebuchet be cheap for nothing? ”

Facing the trebuchet he made with his own hands, Liang Hong was naturally distressed, Shi Mao was a general who fought in the war, and he was the most reluctant among the three, so he immediately said:

"Don't be busy, when we can't hold it anymore, a fire burns it, what if we resist half and our reinforcements arrive?

It's not a shame that it was not ruined in vain! ”

Hearing Shi Mao say this, Liang Hong and Zhang Tingyan naturally didn't have any opinions, but they just couldn't let the Wuzhen people get it.

"Okay, since that's the case, everyone will arrange for troops and the people from the prison of the Criminal Department, and they will all arrange to guard Sweetwater Lane and its vicinity, no matter how fierce the Wuzhen people are, they will definitely hold on until the last moment!" Liang Hong ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tingyan immediately stood up and hugged his fists, because his official position was already smaller than Liang Hong's, so he took the courtesy of his subordinates to his superiors.

And Shi Mao is the chief military officer of the third grade, although Dakang Wenchen controls the generals, but in the end, he is the chief military attache of the third grade, although he also has the heart to tie Liang Hong, after all, if Liang Hong can wait for the reinforcements of Dakang safely this time, with Liang Hong's merits, it will be directly promoted by leapfrogging;

Moreover, Liang Hong is the son-in-law of the deputy assistant of the cabinet of today's Dakang, and this alone is also worthy of Shi Mao.

But at this time, Liang Hong was only at the level of the sixth grade, and Shi Mao was naturally not embarrassed, and the etiquette of the subordinate to the superior official, but said: "Then do it!" In fact, among the three people, Liang Hong is still the leader.

As both of them went to arrange the defensive forces, Liang Hong stood alone in the office room, rubbed his temples, he sighed, and muttered:

"Success or failure is up to you."
