"Oh, I didn't expect that my heroic life, Sun Yuanliang, would end up like this when I get old!" Sun Yuanliang looked up at the ceiling of the big bed and sighed, "Is this the retribution of my life?"
"Sir, please don't think so much. Things haven't reached that point yet. It's just that you are in poor health and your heart is unstable." At this point, Zhou Tinggui could only forgive Sun Yuanliang.
"Tinggui, you don't have to cover up for me. I know my situation. I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold on anymore. This Yinchuan Mansion must not let my fourth brother go. I can't let my Sun family have to bear the burden of dozens of people." If you ask me to carry him to the ground for years of treason, I can't do it no matter what!" Although Sun Yuanliang's spirit was weak at this time, his tone of voice was extremely firm, "You find a way to get Li Wufeng's troops stationed as soon as possible. As long as Li Wufeng's troops succeed Once we move in, I believe that Yinchuan Mansion will never fall into the hands of the Sisluo people, and our mission has been completed."
Zhou Tinggui was silent, and only then did he regret that it was a little too late. He hoped that Li Wufeng's army could arrive as soon as possible.
At present, the city is in chaos, and no one can control the situation. Sun Yuanhui has been particularly active since the city guard was in good and bad health two or three years ago and neglected government affairs. Although he is very dedicated, he is mainly assisting. Especially in military affairs, it is difficult to get involved. The First Guard Division has certainly become Sun Yuanhui's exclusive power. Even the Second and Third Guard Divisions have been won over by Sun Yuanhui. Many middle and senior officers have been recruited. Fortunately, he is in Yinchuan Fuzhong. His reputation has always been very good, and he has the support of most government officials. Later, the city guard also noticed the changes in the situation and began to gradually gather power. However, because Sun Yuanhui had vaguely become his brother's ironclad successor, the city guard also hindered him. Yu Qingmian has never made his position clear, which has led to many people who follow the trend to still gather around Sun Yuanhui, forming a considerable force.
At this time, the commander of the Second Guard Division who supported him was assassinated. In fact, the Second Guard Division was in a state of chaos and could not provide strength for himself. The senior officers in the Second Guard Division were divided into Two factions, two captains supported Sun Yuanhui, the other two captains leaned towards their own side, while the remaining captain seemed hesitant and could not make up his mind. The situation of the Third Guard Division is not optimistic either. The division commander who had always made it clear that he would obey the orders of the city guard and support him seemed to have changed his attitude according to reliable information, and his tone became vague. He asked him several times. The special envoy who sent troops to protect Li Wufeng and deal with the Second Guard Division's disobedience to his orders was rejected by the other party on the grounds that his men were not yet ready and his subordinates had strong resistance. It seemed that they were also observing the situation.
The situation is quite unfavorable for our side, and with the current physical condition of the city guard, it is impossible to control the situation. The only hope can only be placed on Li Wufeng's army in the south. But now the situation is changing so fast. In the end, Li Wufeng's Whether the army can enter Yinchuan City before the situation gets out of control has become the key to the ownership of Yinchuan City.
At this time, the Second Guard Division stationed near Beijiaochang in Yinchuan Prefecture lost the pressure of its first commander, and the contradictions exposed below were finally aroused. The First and Fifth Guards in the division were leaning towards Sun Yuanhui. In order to control the important position of the north gate of Yinchuan Prefecture, the alliance first clashed with the second and fourth alliances who supported Zhou Tinggui. Both sides knew that the gain or loss of this gate might determine their own destiny. They were tit for tat and refused to give in to each other. The quarrel soon turned into a confrontation, and eventually evolved into a solution by force. Paoze, who used to live under the same roof, now became enemies on the battlefield. The small-scale fight quickly developed into a large-scale armed conflict. Suddenly, near the north gate of Yinchuan Prefecture, It became a battlefield filled with blood, and the fight between roommates was no less brutal than a confrontation on a real battlefield.
Beads of sweat covered his forehead. The anxious Jin Zecheng walked back and forth in his barracks, constantly yelling at the scouts who came in to report intelligence like running water. The chaotic and unclear situation made him, the Third Guard Division, The division commander of the regiment could not make up his mind. Once he took the wrong position, he might soon become a ghost under the knife. He had to be cautious, so he allowed the messenger sent by Zhou Tinggui to come back several times to ask him to send troops to help immediately. He remained calm as the 2nd and 4th Regiments of the 2nd Guard Division dealt with the other side. Of course, even if the lobbyist sent by Sun Yuanhui asked him to immediately take down Li Wufeng's envoy, he would not implement it. He would still have to wait. Know that the situation has a clear time.
The scout who stumbled into the room was speechless for a long time. The sensitive Jin Zecheng immediately realized that the situation had changed.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly if you have something to say." Jin Zecheng calmed his mind and asked pleasantly.
"Reporting to the division commander, a large army has been spotted ten miles south of the city. It is estimated that they are coming from the south and are traveling very fast." The soldier replied while breathing heavily.
"How many people are there?" Jin Zecheng asked quickly.
"I can't see clearly, but there are probably around 20,000."
"It came so fast!" Jin Zecheng murmured to himself, "It seems we have to make a decision. Fourth Master, I have no choice but to apologize."
Turning around suddenly, Jin Zecheng let out a long sigh, then turned around and shouted to the messenger outside the door with all his strength: "Come here! The first, second, third, and fifth regiments immediately follow the instructions Plan to launch an attack and resolve the battle in half an hour, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
Facing the soldiers of the Third Guard Division who were swarming in like wolves and tigers with loaded ammunition, the soldiers of the Second Guard Division who were risking their lives for control of the city gate no matter where they were. Both sides couldn't help but panic. In this case, this powerful new force would definitely not just sit on the wall and watch. Once it joins one side, the outcome of the other side can be predicted without considering it. At that moment, almost everyone paused in the fierce battle and turned their attention to the rapidly advancing troops.
Then the leader roared: "Anyone who disobeys Lord Zhou's orders is considered a traitor and will be killed without mercy! If you put down your weapons now, you can forget about it!"
This sentence immediately showed their attitude. The officers of the 1st and 5th regiments immediately turned pale and the soldiers were in chaos. The soldiers of the 2nd and 4th regiments were ecstatic and their morale soared. , the ending immediately presented a one-sided situation. The soldiers of the 1st and 5th regiments dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender. The soldiers on this side were not concerned about themselves. After all, they were all colleagues in the same division. However, their respective officers just joined different masters for the same purpose.
The Third Guard Division quickly took over the defense of the North City Gate and immediately began to deploy defenses. The experienced Jin Zecheng knew that since he had chosen this side, he had no choice but to stick to it, while Sun Yuanhui's First Guard Division and others followed. Kidman's Heathrow army is definitely not far away. Only by blocking them firmly outside the city gate and letting the reinforcements entering from the south stand to smell their footsteps can he really complete the mission. Otherwise, once the north The enemy troops rushed in, and no one could predict the consequences.
If you can stand above Yinchuan Fucheng and look down, you will see an unforgettable sight. Thirty miles to the north of Fucheng, a densely packed army of nearly 100,000 troops formed a black wedge that was rapidly pressing towards the south. About ten miles to the south of the city, a much smaller but somewhat long arrow also appeared. Advancing rapidly to the north, if you stand higher, you can see that a hundred miles south of the slender arrow, there is a group of troops advancing northward non-stop. The target is naturally Yinchuan Fucheng. The goals of both sides are the same. , what will be the final outcome
When the army with the help of the Third Guard Division finally launched a fatal blow to the rebels of the Second Guard Division, who had been stubbornly resisting to the end, Zhou Tinggui finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The cunning Jin Zecheng finally came to the rescue at the most critical moment. It was time to take action. No matter what, his move was really beautiful. Such a move at the most critical moment was enough to send those who supported Sun Yuanhui to hell.
At this time, Sun Yuanliang seemed to have reached the moment when the oil was exhausted. The original red light had disappeared, replaced by that strange paleness, and the once all-powerful eyes now seemed It was so dim and dull, and his trembling lips seemed to want to say something, but even Zhou Tinggui, who was standing next to him, had difficulty hearing clearly what he was saying vaguely.
"Sir, the Third Guard Division has eliminated the rebellion. You can rest assured and rest in peace." Seeing such a scene, Zhou Tinggui, who felt sad, could only say a few words of comfort.
Seemingly shaking his head slightly, Sun Yuanliang seemed to muster up the last bit of strength, and a pair of hazy eyes seemed to have a glimmer of luster. It seemed like he was begging, but also like hoping. Zhou Tinggui quickly put his head over, hoping to listen. Qing his last words.
"Take me back to my hometown," the intermittent and unclear words seemed to have exhausted all the energy of Sun Yuanliang's life, but when he saw the old tears After Zongheng's loyal subordinates nodded affirmatively, the old man lying in bed showed a satisfied smile on his face and closed his eyes peacefully. The generation of heroes who once proudly roamed the vast northwest of Tanghe Empire for decades finally passed away. In his vicissitudes of life, all that remains is the Yinchuan Fucheng that he once fought for all his life. Now there is an undercurrent surging and a war is imminent.
"grown ups!"
The rising sun quietly casts golden sunlight into the house, heralding the beginning of a new day.
Due to the excessive pursuit of speed, the distance between the regiments of Long's fifth division has become wider and wider, and even the cavalry regiment is exhausted. The regiment captain asked for a short rest several times, but was rejected by Long. He categorically refused, because he knew that this was the most critical moment, and no one thought that whoever could enter Yinchuan Fucheng first would have the opportunity to win.
Seeing that the majestic Yinchuan City was already in sight, it seemed that the enemy troops from the north had not arrived yet. The somewhat exhausted Long Zizi finally showed a rare smile.
"Order the troops to speed up and enter Yinchuan City immediately!"
