Yanzhou, Shangjing,

Layers of dark clouds rolled up from the sky, piled up quickly, and quickly covered the entire heaven and earth in everyone's sight. The wind blew the earth and the grass was gone. Whining across this weedy ravine, the winter passed, the temperature began to rise, the warm and humid air flow crossed the north of Yanzhou, which was full of mountains, and rushed down, which was the reason for the rainy season that almost couldn't open people's eyes.

A large area of grassland tents with no end in sight, surround the entire periphery of Yanzhou Shangjing, and the peripheral broken wall that fell a few days ago was washed by the rain with a layer of Yanzhou stone's unique white luster, making everyone's faces more and more ugly.

The grassland people from the northwest of Yanzhou Hural Pass like a tsunami, the number of innumerable, the entire Yanzhou almost one day fell into the tragedy of the beacon fire, stationed in the main force where the barrier is good, those are just sent to Yanzhou to collect the scattered teams of the homeless, the cavalry of the grassland people is a catastrophe, fortunately, the Luzhou army reacted fast enough, plus it was a foot army, the scope of comprehensive dispersal was limited, and immediately ordered the whole army to shrink towards the barrier of Yanzhou Shangjing, so as to stop this southward tide, but how to fight this battle, no one has a bottom in their hearts！

Under the heavy rain, in the Luzhou military camp on the periphery of Yanzhou Shangjing, there was a panicked scene everywhere, this rain came so fiercely, almost flooded the military town of Xiongcheng in the northern plains, the Luzhou army marched north, it was a test of the emperor of Zhongbia, so the military capital carried was very sufficient. Even if it was guarded, it was enough to support more than three months, but the steppe people broke in too quickly. In a hurry, the defense line was contracted, and the military baggage that could not be taken away could only be burned, otherwise it would be left to the grassland people, which would be the capital enemy.

The 60,000 Luzhou troops gathered in Yanzhou and Shangjing in one go, and the heavy armor was guarded, so they could be regarded as stabilizing their positions under the impact of the grassland cavalry. But at the same time, it has also fallen into the dilemma of lack of various logistical materials, and now in the face of this heavy rain, all camps are clanging to strengthen the fence. Intensify and dig deeper the drainage ditches under the camp.

"Hurry up, don't be lazy, you can't dig a drain for drainage, everyone will all have to soak in the water tonight!" Roaring hoarsely against the wind. Let the soldiers work harder, they were almost choked out of the blood in the lungs by the rain, and those who have a place to shelter from the rain are already considered to be the middle and upper officers of the Luzhou army, the Yanzhou barrier was destroyed by the grassland people, Shangjing is the strictest area, for decades, I don't know how many grassland people died on this barrier, if it weren't for the Yanzhou barrier, most of them were solid stones. It takes too much effort to destroy, and I'm afraid that the entire Shangjing will be completely wiped out. The grassland people burned to Beijing, and the fire burned for seven days.

When the Luzhou army entered Beijing, not only did the city wall collapse half, but not even a good house was found in the city, not only the fine weather in the past half month repaired partially, now even the two commanders of the Luzhou army can only hide in the remnants of the half-rain and half-mud

The length and width of the barrier of Shangjing are more than ten miles, although it is broken, but it is enough to place 60,000 Luzhou troops, but when the Luzhou army enters Yanzhou, in order to obtain enough manpower to repair this barrier, they search for Yanzhou displaced people everywhere, and there are seventy or eighty thousand people before and after.

These Yanzhou refugees who survived the catastrophe and barely struggled to survive, usually barely survived by a little army handout, this spring rainstorm poured down, the cold rain poured on the body, and the food in the stomach was also cold, or it was soaked in the rain and the stinky white hair, but even if it was such food, it was not every day, many times, the homeless people could only dig the wild vegetable sprouts that had just sprouted in the spring in the field, and tens of thousands of people squatted in Shangjing, even if there were more wild vegetable sprouts, they would soon run out,

The body is covered with pipa leaves in the field, with half a rotten plank, the whole family is shrunk into a ball, the whole body except for the eyes are green, the skin has been soaked in the rain, the rain in April, in the north of the earth or the cold side of the biting, wet, if there is no fire at night, it is basically a cold miasma, these days, the corpses of the homeless people carried out from the camp hut have exceeded thousands, and there are more people lying in the mud half-dead and half-alive, no one dares to care, no one dares to clean up,

The place where the feet fell was all muddy water mixed with all kinds of excrement, yellow and white floating on the water, like a huge open-air toilet, if someone wanted to walk over and drag a handful of people on the ground, before they reached the edge, they would be immediately killed by the army's people with an arrow.

This is because the army has begun to run rampant with cold miasma, cold miasma is actually dysentery, extremely harsh and clammy environment, unclean food, the generation of plague is inevitable, vomiting and diarrhea, the body is dehydrated, although the fastest speed to take isolation, but it has come out, in such an environment, how can it be pressed!

In the past, the displaced people could still see the army people coming to the displaced people to find someone to start working, in the past two days, even the army did not send people to come, the army gave up the displaced people, and tens of thousands of people slowly waited for death, far more cold than the cold rain on the body, watching their wives and children and parents fall one by one and never stand up again, it is not that no one has the courage to break out, trying to find a way to live, but the barrier wall guarded by the army is like a big fence that traps everyone inside,

Within 50 meters of the city wall, there is no military slogan, the bows and arrows on the city wall will shoot down mercilessly like a torrential rain, kneeling in the muddy water and kowtowing to the military master on the city wall, crying is useless, this city gate can not be opened, I saw that there is no outside the city, and the patches of grassland people are waiting to open the city!

Whether the displaced people will all die in Shangjing in the end, Luo Wenyue, the general of the Fengwu Army, does not know, but the Luzhou Army advancing north may be finished, which Luo Wenyue felt when he received an urgent order from the Central Belgian court

The steppe army overwhelmed the city, but it would definitely not attack the city, because until now, the steppe army outside the city had only pieced together a dozen or so chariots, and the target of the attack was only some isolated small barriers on the periphery. Thousands of attacks can be counted with five fingers,

The defense line of more than ten miles of mountains in Shangjing in Yanzhou was originally specifically aimed at the grassland people. The walls are all stones from Lushan Mountain hundreds of miles away, which is extremely strong, and the rammed earth of the base under the city wall is also made of steaming soil that is not easy to shake, not to mention more than a dozen building cars, that is, the number is ten times more, and it is impossible to shake the slightest, and the repair and perfection in a hundred years. All kinds of whimsical ideas, the equipment to defend the city is placed one by one, and the city walls are stacked on top of each other. Like a spider's web, they can also arch each other, and some protruding ramparts are spaced no more than 15 meters between them, and they can be walked through with a quick wide and long plank. Reinforcements can be sent at any time. Whoever crashes into the first line of defense is actually hitting the entire barrier, and without the courage of three to five times the number of defenders, attacking Yanzhou Shangjing is a joke!

It's just that now, this barrier is more like a cage, and in the upper capital, these days, it is quiet. Ever since the order from the Central Belgian court spread, everyone's faces have not looked back. Although it was still daytime at this time, it was already cold under the heavy rain.

In the courtyard where the military headquarters is located, it is as dead and silent as a mourning hall. Occasionally, an officer hurried by, all standing on tiptoe one by one, for fear of making a little extra noise,

In a large room, the rain is like a short bead down along the eaves, the wind and rain are cold, and it is even more pervasive.

The generals of the Luzhou Army sat in two teams, the two military masters of Wutong and Fengwu sat side by side in the first place, Lu Guangyan, the military master of the Wutong Army, had a heavy face, thick eyebrows like a sword, and a cold gaze like a knife.

Forty-one-year-old Lu Guangyan is the most energetic age in his life, most of the southerners are not tall, which can be seen in Lu Guangyan, but people sit there, like a tower, pressing the eight winds around him, it seems that even the wind will slow down in front of him, the Lu family has been rooted in Luzhou for more than 300 years, the Lu family in Luzhou, all generations have been prominent generals, and can squeeze the door into the second-grade door valve with the door, there are definitely no more than five in Zhongbia, not to mention, Lu Guangyan once served as the attendant of the previous emperor, and the current emperor was a friend of his youth, and he was deeply trusted by the royal family,

Since taking charge of the main army of the Luzhou Army, he has suppressed and deterred the southern mountain barbarians, and restored the traditional heavy armor of Luzhou, even against the Song clan in the four major first-class gate lords, he has not bowed his head, as if he is the plenipotentiary representative of the imperial center in the south, and when it comes to the position in the army, that is, it is slightly worse than the southwest Longjia,

It has long been rumored that the emperor had long intended to replace the disastrous Zhangwu army in Zhongbia Dijing with the Luzhou army, not only because it was really declining to flatter the Zhangwu army, but also because Lu Guangyan had the audacity to say that if there were 200,000 Luzhou troops in Zhongbia Dijing, there was no need to fight, and the grassland people themselves would be scared away! Flattering the 300,000 Zhangwu army was not the opponent of Luzhou's 100,000 troops! Since this morning, the grassland army outside the city has begun to show signs of floating, it seems that it is preparing to move to a high place and Anza, if that is the case, there will be a loophole in the blockade outside the city" A young officer looked a little excited and was commenting on the situation outside the city, Shangjing is not Luzhou after all, and there is no need for everyone to throw their lives here, if it were not for the pressure of the grassland people outside the city, the Luzhou army would not have defended Kyoto, but would have returned a long time ago, but it was just a moment of hesitation, and the guide appeared in today's embarrassment" It's not difficult to get out of Beijing, but it's difficult to get out of Shangjing! I still say that this rain is not good for our army, and even more unfavorable for the grassland people, their goal is to go south, not to fight with us and go to Beijing, and it is the most appropriate way to wait and see what happens, don't look at those grassland people wandering leisurely outside the city, I dare to say, that right minister Yelu Hongtai must be in a hurry to get on fire now!' The old man sitting next to Lu Guangyan said in an unkind tone, he was over sixty years old, he was thin, and he looked a little depressed, this kind of weather, this kind of environment, people in the prime of life still can't consume it, not to mention the old man, the blue-red copper armor is pressed on the body, the heavy ones are somewhat collapsed, and the temples are as white as snow, and the eyes that seem to have seen countless landscapes are narrowed into lines, revealing a shuddering sharpness

"That's what I said, but the emperor's order cannot be violated!" a general muttered with an ugly face,

"Those adults in the court didn't know the situation in Yanzhou at all, so they gave the order to evacuate with all their might, and they didn't think at all, how could such an infantry group of our Luzhou Army kill out of the overwhelming grassland cavalry outside the city in this vast mud, even if they really killed, could two legs still outrun four legs?

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, there are some words, others dare not say, he can say, because he is Luo Wenyue, the master of the Fengwu Army, in terms of seniority, he is definitely the first in the Sino-Belgian army, he has served three emperors, participated in the Northern Expedition of the grassland, and has rescued the driver four times, although he is unruly, but he is a great loyal minister in the emperor's heart, he was a famous pungent figure in Luzhou back then, and several generations of prime ministers have reprimanded him, but he still does his own thing, and he has saved the driver four times.

He stood up from his position, tilted his head, and said in a somewhat sluggish tone, "Tens of thousands of Luzhou disciples left Luzhou with a magnificent momentum, and they went back to a few generals alone, so don't you let the saliva of the Luzhou people drown and lose the generals of the army?, if you want to go, I will not be affected by this sin when I am old, I have read few books, but I have also heard of the saying that there are generals outside, and the king's order is not affected!"

Lu Guangyan sat upright and silent, with a slight wry smile on the corner of his mouth, as the emperor's confidant, of course he knows more than Luo Wenyue, old man, you just say one less word, this kind of thing is what you can say, the one here does not have such qualifications as you, the current situation is not the same as before, the emperor failed to seize the western army of the Long family, and had to drive the Luzhou army into Yanzhou as a last resort！

There was a sudden noise outside, Lu Guangyan raised his eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, when he heard that the officer in charge outside the door had already trembled slightly and hurriedly replied, "My lord, the grassland army outside the city has suddenly begun to evacuate!" A noise suddenly sounded in the conference hall

Lu Guangyan waved his hand heavily, and the noise calmed down, Lu Guangyan looked at the officer, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were like electricity, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure that the grassland people are evacuating, not moving the camp?" "We specially sent someone to sneak out to take a look, and it was indeed pulling out the camp and leaving, not moving the camp!" The officer swore and said,

Just when everyone was confused, another officer ran over quickly, knelt down on one knee at the door, and said loudly, "I just received the news, the 100,000 Western Army of the Long Family left Guangling three days ago!" (to be continued......
