781 New Year's gifts

All the cold winter is expected to end after the Spring Festival. The so-called inverted spring cold does not exist in Chang'an this year.

This means that the snow will melt away soon, and Chang'an City will lose the last layer of natural barrier. Since the emperor fled, even God did not bless this abandoned capital.

The Spring Festival should be the most lively festival of the year, but for most people in Chang'an City, this year is really a bit cold.

Inviting the Liyuan Gang to sing during the Chinese New Year was a common measure used by large families to buy people's hearts, but because of the drug corpse incident, many families went bankrupt, and this year this measure is almost unpopular.

For the small people in the market, it is a great fortune to be able to survive in this troubled world, and what to talk about the New Year.

As far as the eye can see, there are not even a few households in Chang'an City, where firecrackers are set off, and many liquor shops are in a state of semi-bankruptcy.

Pedestrians on the street have a lot of vegetables on their faces, and they are swaying weakly on the road. Occasionally, a few medicinal corpses rushed out of the corner, and these people were so frightened that they suddenly had strength out of nowhere and ran wildly to escape.

For the hungry, there are a few soup kitchens on the street of the dead, and the people behind these shops are all in charge of the sword.

But the porridge distributed by these porridge shops is mixed with dirt and sand, and only the most hungry people go there to ask for food.

Perhaps the only purpose of these porridge shops was to give the hungry people something to eat and not to start a riot.

Compared with the coldness inside Chang'an City, Chang'an City is very lively outside. The camp of the rebels was full of smoke, and the convoy carrying heavy grain and grass stretched for miles, as far as the eye could see.

Countless vehicles were crushing through the dirt, and the snow on the ground had already melted, and it was a brown muddy wetland.

Hundreds of huge fire and thunder vehicles were scattered in the camp of the rebel army, and each fire and mine car was guarded by more than 100 selected wrestlers, and there were several military camps around to guard them.

The muzzles of the black holes of the fire and thunder cars are all aimed at the gate of Chang'an City, and each of the muzzles seems to be hiding a black abyss, which wants to bury Chang'an City deeply.

The Tang army guards on the upper floor of Chang'an City were thinly clothed, and compared with the well-fed soldiers of the righteous army outside the city, their patience was obviously close to the extreme.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, only sporadic firecrackers sounded in Chang'an City, almost inaudible, but the city wall was full of glory.

It turned out that the rebels were testing the cannon on the Chang'an city wall!

One after another, fire and thunder bullets shot out from the abyss-like pitch-black cannon mouth, rushing towards the Chang'an city wall with the tail of fire, and after hitting the city wall, there was a violent explosion, and the roar was endless.

Under the cover of artillery fire, in the camp of the rebel army, many martial arts people took advantage of the chaos to touch the city wall under the leadership of Jin Yi, the head of the Lingnan Sword Sect. On this night alone, the Tang army lost at least 4,000 people.

This was really a heavy blow to the Tang Army, which only had tens of thousands of people.

Fortunately, those martial arts people were afraid that no one would respond, so they didn't dare to go deeper, and they retreated outside the city after a big killing. And those fire and thunder wagons also became quiet after roaring for half an hour, otherwise the losses of the Tang army might have been even greater.

This is the New Year's gift from the Huangchao army to the Zhangjian Gate.

The next day, Liu Yu climbed the city wall that had been shattered by artillery fire, and the corpses on the city tower were strewn all over the field, but these corpses basically belonged to the Tang army.

These Tang soldiers died extremely miserably, and they were all disemboweled, which shows that the enemy had a playful mentality while slaughtering them.

Liu Yu was accompanied by the Masters of the Sword Gate, and there was such a big battle on Chinese New Year's Eve, and no one dared to continue to celebrate the festival at home.

He Weigui checked the wounds on the deceased's body one by one, his eyebrows were full of indignation, "Head of Qiqi, most of these people should have been killed by the Lingnan Sword Sect, only their swordsmanship would be so vicious!"

The embarrassed monk said angrily: "His grandmother is a bear, if these dog thieves let the Sprinkle family meet them, they will not die!"

Behind him, the Arhats folded their hands and recited the sutras in silence.

These monks usually eat meat and drink wine, and the scriptures are full of mistakes and omissions, but if you talk about ordinary times, I have never seen them so serious.

Some servants of Dali Temple followed them up to the tower, and they carried the bodies of the fallen soldiers down the tower, and washed the ground stained with blood with water. As the weather has gradually warmed up in the past two days, the ground that washed through the water did not freeze quickly.

Just when the heroes of the Sword Gate were full of anger, a group of people from the Huangchao army outside the city burst out and rushed towards the city gate.

After last night and a night, the Tang army was frightened, and many people ran away with their heads in their hands, ignoring Liu Yu's orders, and fled towards the city tower.

Seeing this, Liu Yu sighed softly, and Xiao Heda immediately understood, turned around and walked to the other side of the city tower, and raised his hand to signal.

Luo Jinhu suddenly led his Golden Tiger Gang to appear on the flat ground below the city tower, and as soon as those Tang Army deserters fled from the city tower, they were slashed and killed by the oncoming Golden Tiger Gang brothers.

Seeing this, the rest of the Tang army did not dare to flee, so the situation stabilized slightly.

At the same time, the group of volunteers had already rushed to the city wall of Chang'an, and the person at the head was Jin Yi, the head of the Lingnan Sword Sect.

Behind him were a large number of disciples of the Lingnan Sword Sect.

Behind these disciples were a prisoner cart with a woman with a disheveled hair locked in the cart.

He Weigui recognized who the woman was almost immediately, and he rushed down the city tower as if he was crazy.

The monk hurriedly grabbed him, "You are stupid, there are many of them, if you go out alone, you will die, do you want to save you?"

He Weigui was so anxious that he drew his sword: "No matter what, I have to save people." This woman, whom I know, is the wife of my old friend. My friend was kind to me, but unfortunately he died young, and I can't owe it to his family. ”

Downstairs in the city, Jin Yi laughed, pointed to the woman in the prisoner car and said to He Weigui on the city tower: "Master He, don't come to harm? I pity you for being lonely and panicked during the New Year, and I specially brought your concubine all the way over." ”

He Weigui scolded angrily: "Jin Yi, you are shameless!"

Jin Yi smiled: "Is it me shameless, or you are shameless." As the saying goes, a friend's wife can't be bullied, your friend goes to the soup for you, but you dig his corner behind your back, and you are not ashamed. I've heard that your friend died because he ran into you fooling around with his wife, you're such a good friend, haha!"

What is the noble person who thinks he is upright, what Jin Yi said is a rare pain point in his life. It turned out that he had met the friend's wife at an early age, and he fell in love at first sight. It's a pity that the beauty has a home, and he can only force himself to be enthusiastic.

However, after all, he is a flesh-long heart, and it is inevitable that he will have mortal thoughts. Once, he went to visit the friend, and it happened that the friend was not there, but the friend's wife still cooked a few side dishes for him.

The two of them drank a little wine on the food, and they made a mistake under the wine, and did some unsightly things, and happened to be bumped into by the friend's return.

The friend took into account his feelings and didn't kill him, so the two cut off their robes. It's just that since then, that friend has not touched his family, and he no longer has any past feelings for his wife, and soon died in a bandit suppression activity organized by a fellow martial artist.

He Weigui was ashamed after hearing the news, and regretted it several times.

At the same time, the friend's wife was lonely after the loss of her husband. He Weigui had a sore heart, and it was inconvenient to show his face to take care of it in person, so he entrusted his disciples to arrange it properly.

When he left Lingnan, Ben placed this old friend's wife in the countryside, and ordinary people couldn't find the hiding place, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Jin Yi.
