The black robe with the bottom of the brocade of Shu is nine pythons with gold thread patterns, the python has four claws, lifelike, and even can see the sharpness between the subtleties of the python's claws, the black gold python robe worn by Xu Xian, the shoulder-length round neck, the right side of the placket, the water foot at the lower end of the python robe has the waves tumbling on the water foot, and there are mountain stone treasures on the water waves, commonly known as "Jiangya seawater".

Seawater is divided into standing water and flat water.

Standing water refers to the tide composed of striped twill at the bottom of the robe;

Pingshui refers to the scaly waves below the river teeth.

The sea means the tide of the sea, and the tide is the same as the morning,

Jiangya, also known as Jiang Ya, ginger bud, that is, the mountain overlaps, like the ginger bud, in addition to indicating auspicious continuity, but also contains the meaning of the eternal solidity of the land, which is the origin of the python robe of the past dynasties.

The breeze is blowing with big sleeves,

The nine giant pythons on the black and gold python robe seem to come to life,

opened his mouth as if he wanted to swallow the mountains and rivers.

"This is Shangjing!"

Ma Youliang looked at the towering city wall and was a little distracted, he followed His Majesty's southern and northern wars and sacrificed his life and death to defend the country for Daqing, but he ended up with the disdain of the court and the suspicion of Emperor Qing, and even the silver in the army has been deducted more than once, and there have been their own group of Qiu Ba soles printed on the faces of those high-spirited princes.

I feel angry in my heart, but I just think about it, what should I do when I wake up, the general of Qingguo has not been humiliated by civil officials, but today it seems that everything I have thought about in the past is close at hand, but it is a pity that the Hubu Shangshu who deducted food and salary in the past has died outside the Taihe Palace, but the upper of his shoe knocked on the face of the military department Shangshu who was in trouble with Liangzhou everywhere.

300,000 Liangzhou iron horsemen surrounded Longcheng, like a cloud.

"Hoo ......"

"It's finally here. ”

Xu Xian only felt a breath of turbid breath in his chest exhale,

The whole mind is clear.

The wall of the city of Shangjing is all rammed with loess, there is bluestone paving outside, there are more than five zhang high, the base is four zhang meters wide, there is a moat around the outside of the city, it is the male city of the world, the end is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But the guards on the city tower looked at the cold iron halberd under the city or inexplicably cold, the news of the Humen break has only been a few days?

The world's first-class elite to the end,

The Book of War, there are words,

"Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and double it will fight!"

It seems that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry has never planned to besiege the city, and it looks more like he wants to capture the city gate with the prosperity of the army.

"Alas!"

The guard of Xuanping Gate slapped the rough palm on the battlements fiercely, faintly bleeding blood, the thick city wall could not give him the slightest comfort, even the bow and crossbow in his hand also looked a little pale and weak, even the rolling wood and stones, and the sharp weapons such as fierce oil and gold juice could not make their hearts settle.

There are only more than 30,000 forbidden troops in the city, even if they have the benefit of fortifying the city,

Can you really get Qi to help?

I hope I can make it to that time,

Even if the sixteen counties of the South are cut off,

Anyway, you can also save the national fortune of Daqing!

......

Looking down from the sky,

The official road of the four directions takes Yongle Long Street as the central axis and leads directly to the main city gate of the four directions.

At this time, there were twelve clouds of smoke and dust rolled up from each city gate, converging on Yongle Long Street and running towards the palace, with a face full of panic.

There is no one to be seen on the huge streets of Shangjing City at this moment, whether it is a high-ranking family or an ordinary person, the door is closed, and through the crack in the door, you can see that there are soldiers lining up on the street from time to time to go to the city gate.

If the capital city a few days ago can be described by the sound of the wind and the grass and trees, then now it can only be appropriate with a quiet cicada, except for the sound of the soles of the soldiers' boots stepping on the bluestone and the ticking sound of the rain falling.

"It's time to come after all!"

Outside the vermilion palace walls,

Qin Qingtang looked at the countless Lingqi running away and sighed, patted the slightly moist futon and leaned in the direction of the palace gate, lifting the futon to cover his old body.

There is no greater decline than the death of the heart.

Qin Qingtang put his hands behind his head and looked at the raindrops falling from the sky a little distracted, the corners of his eyes were a little blurry, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, but he would subconsciously slow down the horse when he passed by, lest he disturb the old man who was about to die.

Outside the Taihe Palace,

Li Yan stood on the long steps and looked at the soldiers running in the city, holding her hands quietly, pale cyan blood vessels looming on the surface of her skin, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.

"Sister Huang, Xian'er is afraid!"

The little emperor Li Xian appeared behind Li Yan at some point, with an unconcealable horror in his tone, although he was very young and did not understand political affairs, he also knew that if Liangzhou Tie rode into the city, he would definitely have no chance of survival.

"Don't be afraid, Xian'er remember, you are the son of Daqing!"

Li Yan turned around and held Li Xian's young shoulders with her white hands, and said in a deep voice, her palms were a little cold, and blood was seeping out of the broken flesh of her palms, staining the sides of the dragon robe with a touch of bright red.

"Outside the city has been fortified and cleared, the anti-thief soldiers and horses rushed to Beijing with light equipment, and did not bring enough grain and grass baggage, when the reinforcements of Qi arrived, there was no possibility of attacking for a long time, and there was no other way than to retreat to Humen!"

"Although I Daqing has lost some land, what I have lost will be taken back in the end, as long as the thief retreats, I will unite with the Wei State to fight against the thief in Eli!"

Li Yan's eyes were full of hysterical madness, it was the people in the royal family who naturally knew the truth of the false Dao, and they knew very well what would happen if they really let the army of Great Qi and Great Wei set foot on the land of Qingguo, but at the moment they couldn't care so much, or they didn't want to think about that.

Above the Taihe Palace,

There is a pale little Taoist priest wearing a peachwood sword at his waist,

Looking at the huge capital city.

Looking at the eyes of the little Taoist, with Yongle Long Street as the central axis, it began to spread along the four avenues, and there were countless runes looming in the bluestone, and there was also light and shadow flowing on the wooden beams of the critical shops.

But the little Taoist priest was inexplicably sad in his heart,

When you go down the mountain, there are thousands of Taoist priests in Zhenwu Mountain,

Now there are only a hundred and ten left,

Every rune in this street and alley falls,

It is accompanied by the blood of the Taoist priest of Zhenwu Mountain,

In just one or two days, all the heritage of Zhenwu Mountain has been hollowed out.

Only then was this great array completed.

"Your Highness, the formation in the upper capital has been completed. ”

The little Taoist stepped forward and fell lightly to Li Yan, there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, he didn't have any pursuit of power, but his uncle had already made a decision for Zhenwu Mountain, what could he do except go down?

"Thank you, national teacher!"

Li Yan came back to her senses, bowed, and looked at the Taoist priest in front of her, her eyes were quite complicated, the fact that the forbidden army in the city was all waste, and she already knew it very clearly when the details of the first battle of Muyeyuan came back, so at the moment, in addition to relying on the benefits of Shangjing Jiancheng, the only one who could rely on was this very high-ranking Zhenwu Mountain Taoist in front of him.

"Dare to ask the national teacher, how long can this formation last?"

"In this formation, the trail is the eye of the formation. ”

"As long as the trail doesn't die, this formation won't break!"

"The rebellious army naturally can't enter the palace gate, Your Majesty and Your Highness are naturally safe and sound, this is Zhenwu Mountain's promise to Your Highness, even if the formation is broken, Xiaodao will definitely die in front of Your Highness. ”

The little Taoist priest accepted this salute calmly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was indeed extremely bitter, for this sentence of national teacher, a national religion, I don't know how much I really paid for Wushan, is it really worth it?

"In this way, then there will be Lao Guoshi!"

"Your Highness, do it yourself!"

The little Taoist sighed lightly and didn't say much, and walked towards the outside of the palace, every time he fell the next step, the little Taoist felt worried, because it seemed that the long street without seeing the edge was full of the qi and blood of the Taoist priest of Zhenwu Mountain, and this large array could be said to be exchanged for the lives of nearly a thousand Taoist priests of the same sect.

......

Outside the capital,

"Your Highness, use that city gate as a breach?"

Ma Youliang looked at the towering city wall and was not carried away, this trip to the north did not bring too many siege equipment, if it was a direct all-out siege of the city, I was afraid of heavy casualties, not to mention, I could not capture this giant city.

It is even more nonsense to use local materials, when I came, I had already explored the surrounding areas of the capital city and had already been fortified, not to mention building siege equipment, and the ladder that could be built to climb the city in a hurry had reached the limit.

But if you really let Tie Rider dismount as a foot pawn, hold a ladder across the moat and then stand on top of the rolling stones, the strong oil and gold juice will inevitably force the city to kill and suffer heavy casualties, as for letting His Highness pick up the stars next to him is even more nonsense, this is not a small city like Wangnan City, countless bows and crossbows on the battlements fall down I am afraid that I will lose my life before I get close to the city wall.

Shangjing has a population of more than one million and twelve city gates.

From north to south,

The east wall is Xuanping Gate, Qingming Gate, Bacheng Gate,

The west wall is Yongmen, Zhicheng Gate, Zhangcheng Gate,

From east to west,

The north wall is the Los Angeles City Gate, the Kitchen City Gate, and the Heng Gate.

The south wall is covered with Angmen, Anmen, Xi'an Gate,

Twelve heavy gates were shut,

Xu Xian took a step forward, his hand had already subconsciously grasped the stunning sword at his waist, but he couldn't stop him again when he looked at the looming runes coming out of the city gate.

"Your Highness, looking at this formation, I think it is the handiwork of Zhenwu Mountain. ”

Wang Qingnian, the old Taoist priest on the side, looked at it for a moment and explained aloud, the horror in his heart could not be concealed, the three great Taoist sects in the world naturally have a relationship with each other, and they also have an understanding of the formation laid out in the capital, and they know better what kind of price they need to pay, it is precisely because of this that they never thought that Zhenwu Mountain was really mad to such a point.

"Does the Dao Chief have a means to break the formation?"

"If it's other formations, Lao Dao might be able to try it. ”

"......"

The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly twice, but he was speechless.

"If there is the power of the sword of Dugu's predecessor who broke the mountains and rivers, can he cut it down?"

Xu Xian asked softly.

"This formation has already connected the entire Shangjing City as one, and a sword of the second-grade peak sword cultivation can disrupt the formation, but it is still too difficult to break the formation, after all, it is the foundation of Zhenwu Mountain for hundreds of years. ”

"There is only a way to crack this array internally. ”

"Or ......"

The old Taoist priest sighed, looked at the galloping Liangzhou iron horseman, and stopped talking.

"Save!"

Xu Xian also understood what the old Taoist priest said,

If this city wants to be opened by external forces, then it can only be filled with the lives of the Liangzhou soldiers, but Xu Xian will definitely not choose this way unless it is a last resort, after all, there are still wolves around Daqing, and it will be difficult to continue to break down too much foundation here, and it is really worth the loss.

"Commander Bai, how are your arrangements in the city?"

"Your Highness, there has been no news from the spies in the city in the past two days. ”

Bai Xiaosheng knelt on one knee and smiled bitterly, it is also strange to say, after the news of thousands of Taoist priests on Zhenwu Mountain entering the city came back two days ago, the spies of the Liangzhou Spy Department in the city seemed to have all disappeared, not to mention the useful information that came out that they didn't know the life and death of those people, and as for the saucer installed in the city gate, I am afraid that it would have been cleaned up a long time ago.

"Well, wait!"

Xu Xian's lips opened lightly,

A rough man came to mind that on the day the emperor was assassinated in the imperial garden, it was the man who risked the big deal to let his father and son out of the capital.

......

Inside the city of Shangjing, the north wall, the Los Angeles Gate,

In a small courtyard hundreds of zhang away,

One hundred and ten men were all wearing hats, dressed in black, with the narrow horizontal knives in their hands already in their hands, and the eyes exposed under the masked scarves were faintly bloodshot, panting heavily.

"Yu Wu, do you really want to do this?"

An old man stood outside the gate of the courtyard and looked at Chen Yuwu, who was wiping the knife with a rag in front of the man, and asked in a deep voice, the crutches were very uneasy in his heart, once there was a slight mistake, his Chen family was afraid that it would be a river of blood.

"Dad, now my Chen family has fallen so far. ”

"If you don't give it a fight, then the marquis who came to pay homage to the prime minister?"

Chen Yuwu looked at the old man at the door and smiled bitterly, since the last time the father and son of the Xu family escaped from Shangjing, more than ten guards in Shangjing landed on the ground, and the palace gate guards were directly replaced, and he relied on more than ten corpses of Xu Wu's personal guards and more than half of the Chen family's property to take care of this only one life, but he had already been dismissed and borrowed wine at home all day to drown his sorrows.

When he learned that Chen Wenzhi led the army on the Northern Expedition, he was even more heartbroken.

But things turn around again,

Makinohara's first battle was transmitted back to Shangjing, and he seemed to see hope,

Worship the prime minister!

These four words have been constantly echoing in their minds since the Humen Gate was broken, and now the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry has come to the city, as long as the city gate is opened, it is no longer empty words.

Chen Yuwu tightly wrapped the handle of the knife around his right hand with a black cloth, and the same did with the hundred and ten men behind him.

Different from the forbidden army in the city, these people used to be men who licked blood with knives behind them, and they had worn off some edges and corners after defending the city for several years, but now for this monstrous wealth, how can they give up their own cheap lives?

Twelve gates of Beijing, the defenders are no more than 30,000,

There are only thousands of defenders stationed on the city wall, and there are only a few hundred soldiers near the city gate, not to mention that the Luocheng Gate selected by himself is only an auxiliary gate, and the soldiers near the city gate are only three or two hundred forbidden troops, plus a few old Taoist priests of Zhenwu Mountain, and the one hundred and ten men in the army who lick blood from the knife edge under their own hands may not be able to kill a road to heaven!

Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

"Dad, my son will use the knife in his hand to exchange for a monstrous wealth for my Chen family!"

Chen Yuwu clenched the cold knife in his hand and walked towards the long street,

Behind him, a hundred and ten men followed,

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the clatter of the soles of the boots lifting into the stagnant water again, and the grinding of the hilt of the sword, the black crowd rushed towards the gate of Naluo like a wave.
