After Wang Meng led the forbidden army into the county seat of Anling County, there was an indescribable strangeness in the empty city.

"General."

A low cry from his generals interrupted Wang Meng's thoughts, and he began to look around indiscriminately.

Everything was too quiet and smooth, and the process from Naoli to the county town was unimaginably smooth.

Without waiting for Wang Meng to think more, a pot of clay pots suddenly fell from the city tower, and after falling to the ground and shattering, a strong pungent smell spread.

"Fire oil, there's an ambush."

A forbidden sergeant's oblivious chant instantly shattered the peace of the place.

With the sound of clay pots falling to the ground, the scene gradually became a little riotous.

At this time, even the most stupid person can see that this night siege is only another long-planned trap.

In a panic, Wang Meng shouted to retreat and ordered his officers and generals to return in the direction of the city gate.

But at this time, an earth-shattering noise came out that made everyone's hearts startled, and they unconsciously looked in the direction of the sound coming from the city gate.

The beam that turned out to be the city gate was broken off at the waist for some reason, and the city bricks arranged in a row on the city tower fell to the ground, just blocking the gap in the city gate.

Today's Wang Meng and more than 1,000 forbidden troops who rushed into the city were blocked in the city at this time, and the rebel army in Anling County staged a good show of inviting the king into the urn.

"Wang Meng, you can't escape today, and you won't be captured quickly."

Surrounded by a group of rebel troops, Zhao Qinghe stood on the city tower and looked down at Wang Meng who was trapped in the city, and the sarcasm in his tone was overflowing.

Seeing this, even though Wang Meng was extremely angry in his heart, he could only order his subordinates to look for a way out at this time.

But when they walked out of the city, they found that since they entered the city, obstacles such as horses and wooden thorns had already been installed everywhere in the city.

The streets have long since been cleared of the inhabitants, and even the houses of various heights have been stocked with flammable materials by the rebels.

Without waiting for any movement from the forbidden army under Wang Meng, rockets rained down from the city tower.

Wherever the rocket landed, a large fire burned instantly, and the black smoke emitted from the burning alone rushed straight into the sky like a pillar.

The current Anling City has long been arranged as a slaughterhouse for Wang Meng's forbidden army, and even if he is trapped in the city, it is difficult to fly.

Looking at the forbidden soldiers who were constantly struggling desperately in the sea of fire, Wang Meng slowly crossed two lines of tears on his cheeks.

"Heaven will kill me, I regret not listening to Jiang Tao's words."

Wang Meng muttered quietly in a tone that he could only hear, and the generals around him who followed Wang Meng into the city were also full of panic at this time.

The most pitiful are those forbidden soldiers, who traveled thousands of miles from their hometown in Zhili to Yuzhou, and before they reached their destination, they were buried in the sea of fire.

Whose sons are they? Whose husband is it?

When war strikes, human life always seems so worthless, and the glory of the enemy depends on their flesh and blood.

Although many generals in the forbidden army have long been accustomed to seeing life and death, but now that the robe Ze who is going out to fight together is inevitably a little choked in front of him.

Many of them knelt on the ground in distraction, staring silently at the dark sky, apparently giving up resistance.

At this time, many of the generals around Wang Meng were trying their best to block Wang Meng from retreating in one direction with their bodies, lest he be injured by stray arrows.

Although today's predicament can be said to be a tragedy caused by Wang Meng's single-mindedness, these brave and loyal subordinates in the forbidden army still follow Wang Meng unconditionally.

Wang Meng is not only a high-powered general in the hearts of many people, but also a respected elder.

A general of Wang Meng's level could have been on the front line of the battlefield without fighting, but he always took the lead in the battle and led the troops to attack.

This is also the biggest flaw in Wang Meng's character, just like now, as the supreme commander, he fell into an enemy ambush, and if something goes wrong, the forbidden army outside the city will fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless.

"General, let's go."

A guard beside Wang Meng had tears in his eyes, and he dragged Wang Meng and prepared to run back.

But Wang Meng looked at the guard, waved his arm slightly, and looked at the heads of the people on the city tower with a resolute expression.

"Thief rebel, the eldest husband was born in the world, you must know etiquette, righteousness and shame, my Wang Meng, as the general of the Great Xia Zhuguo, will definitely not be able to do anything to betray the Lord and seek glory.

Today's calamity is caused by me alone, and you only want my head, but these soldiers in the city are not at fault, and I beg you not to kill them all. ”

With that, Wang Meng pulled out the saber at his waist and put it directly on his neck.

The generals of the forbidden army all looked at Wang Meng in fear at this time, and finally shouted that they were about to step forward and grab their swords.

But Wang Meng, who was quick-eyed, didn't give his subordinates time to react, and directly mentioned swiping it towards his neck, and a blood line slowly appeared.

"General."

I don't know who shouted, and countless forbidden soldiers rushed in the direction where Wang Meng fell, crying heartbreakingly.

Even the rebel army on the city tower and Zhao Qinghe, the operator of this plan, couldn't stop being frightened, and sighed that the other party was really loyal.

You must know that Wang Meng, as the supreme commander of the forbidden army, as long as he surrenders now, he is afraid that the group of loyal subordinates under his hands will also raise their hands to support.

And even if Wang Meng is placed under house arrest by the rebel army, he will not have any worries about his life as a bargaining chip.

But now Wang Meng is directly determined to die, which really makes many rebels drop their jaws.

"This Wang Meng is also a loyal minister, let's bury it."

As Zhao Qinghe's words fell, it could be regarded as the end of the ambush incident in Anling County.

As the fire swept through the city, the forbidden army that attacked the city was considered incapacitated.

It's just surprising that the rebel army, which was originally going to go down and surrender the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army, was met with stubborn resistance.

With Wang Meng's death, most of the forbidden troops under his command were very hostile to the rebels.

They would rather die in the chaos of the rebel army in Anling County than continue to live in the world with hatred.

In desperation, the rebel army in Anling County could only send soldiers to continuously harvest the lives of these forbidden soldiers, and there were not a few prisoners left after a battle.

With Wang Meng being ambushed and killed, the forbidden army outside Anling City can be said to have fallen into a situation where the command system is paralyzed.

The ruined gates of Anling City were like a moat, separating the Shura field inside the city from the forbidden army outside the city.

This time, the dispatch of troops to Yuzhou ended in the fiasco of the forbidden army, and also laid the groundwork for the rebel army in Yuzhou to begin to counterattack the Zhili forbidden army.

Some people say that Wang Meng's single-mindedness killed everyone, but the description of Wang Meng in the history books of later generations does not have many derogatory words.

After the fiasco of the trip to Yuzhou, the leaderless forbidden army chose to withdraw from the territory of Yuzhou and did not stay too long.

And the news of Wang Meng's death also spread to Kyoto with the withdrawal of the forbidden army to the Zhili area.

……

Kyoto, the Imperial City.

Qin Yu sat on the dragon chair, listening to the report of the forbidden army herald with an expressionless face, and all the civil and military generals in the hall shrank their heads at this time and did not dare to make a sound.

Until the messenger said that Wang Meng had killed An Lingcheng, Emperor Qin Yu couldn't sit still anymore and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, before leaving, Wang Meng promised me to garrison troops outside Yuzhou, how could he risk sending troops now?"

Although Qin Yu had acquiesced to the news of Wang Meng's death in his heart, he still couldn't accept the reality and began to roar.

Wang Meng's death is not only the fall of the important ministers of Great Xia, but also everything that Qin Yu planned before will come to naught.

At this time, the forbidden army stationed outside Yuzhou was leaderless, and if there was any mistake, it would undoubtedly open the door to the rebel army to enter Kyoto.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now, and now it's time to think about how to hold the throat from Yuzhou to Kyoto.

Just as Qin Yu was about to order Yun Bi from Anhui Prefecture to return to Zhili to command the remnants of the forbidden army Wang Meng, another herald from the northern Huya Pass rushed straight into the palace hall.

"Report, border military situation."

A eunuch came into Qin Yu's ears from the singing newspaper outside the palace, and Qin Yu, who had a cold face, chuckled in his heart for no reason, but still waved his hand to signal for people outside the palace to come in.

When the herald from the north entered the hall, he knelt down and kowtowed directly to Qin Yu in the center, hurriedly explaining the emergency military situation of Huya Pass.

"Emperor, the Huya Pass Rong clan knocked on the pass, and more than 100,000 troops were stationed outside the pass at this time."

This news made these civil ministers and military generals in the DPRK and China a mess like a thunderbolt from the sky, but you never had any idea of what you said.

At this time, Emperor Qin Yu was already haggard, and licked his lips hard, but he couldn't speak.

The admiral fell, and the Rong clan knocked.

These two pieces of news pierced Qin Yu's chest like a sharp arrow, making his breathing become a little short.

And the high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court are like headless flies at this time, only buzzing and screaming.

The Rong clan gathered such a huge force at this time to suppress Huyaguan, which was obviously planned for a long time.

If Yun Bi is transferred from Wanzhou to Kyoto Zhili at this time, I am afraid that the troops left in Huya Pass will not be able to hold this world's first Xiongguan.

How to choose has become a difficult problem that Qin Yu is unwilling to face.

Due to the financial deficit of Great Xia, the bank in the treasury did not support Qin Yu's large-scale conscription.

With the current forces at hand, it is simply impossible to divide two forces to control the situation at the border pass or in Yuzhou.

Now that the development of things has gradually escaped Qin Yu's control, I don't know how many people of Daxia will be ruined in this chaotic world.

After settling down, Qin Yu sat back on the throne that belonged to him again, and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall also began to fall into an eerie silence after a heated discussion.

Many people all looked at the Lord sitting on the Earth Emperor, but no one considered whether his thin shoulders could bear the weight of the Empire.

"Pass on my will, and order Yun Bi to transfer the counterinsurgency and forbidden army in Anhui Prefecture to send troops to the north, gallop to the aid of Huya Pass, and be sure to keep the Rong people out of the pass so as not to poison the Central Plains."

Qin Yu's hoarse voice came out slowly, revealing a little desolation in his majesty.
