The coach yelled at the housekeeper: "Quick, quick! Take your wife, children and my mother, and go behind the commander's mansion, and hurry back to the capital." At the same time, he ordered the housekeeper, "Quick, close the double gate!"
The servant didn't know what happened, but he just followed the commander's order and closed the double door and fastened both bolts.
When they heard that they were going to flee, the family members cried together.
"What happened, sir?" asked the butler.
The coach gave a long sigh: "Pan Meichen has captured Waqiaoguan, and now their people are everywhere in the city. You take my family and pretend to be ordinary people, and follow the refugees to escape, otherwise, Pan Meichen will definitely not let me and I go. My whole family."
"Tiger Pan is here!"
Hearing that Pan Meichen had captured Guancheng, the coach and his family immediately stopped crying, just like a child crying at night without going to sleep, the mother coaxed the child to say that if he cried again, the monster would come, and the child dared not cry after hearing this.
The current situation of the coach's family is similar to putting the children to sleep. Everyone is silent, afraid that if they make any noise, that Tiger Pan will jump in and kill them all.
"Master, won't you come with us?" The coach's wife took him by the hand. She knew that Pan Meichen was powerful, and her husband must not be his opponent.
The coach's eyes were already as cold as gray, and his soft eyes swept over the child and mother, with a sad tone.
"I am deeply entrusted by Empress Rong to guard the important border towns and serve as a barrier for the people of the country. I was careless for a while, and I fell into Pan Meichen's treacherous tricks, and Waqiao Pass was captured. What face do I have when I return to the capital to meet Empress Rong! Today I swear to Guan The city will live and die!"
He really regretted not listening to the staff officer.
The staff officer had noticed Pan Meichen's abnormal movement earlier, so he told him about the general's situation and asked him to take precautions.
He thought that Pan Meichen would not make a comeback within half a year after being defeated by Rong Changan and kicked out of the customs, so he didn't take precautions and allowed the north and south to trade and interrogate laxly. As a result, Pan Meichen's Jianxi often went in and out of the door, peeking at the national conditions of Dajing Kingdom. The fall of Waqiao Pass has a lot to do with him!
Madam couldn't bear to part with her husband, she hugged his arm and didn't let go: "Sir, are you willing to abandon our family and go to die by yourself? I believe Queen Rong is an enlightened person, and she will definitely not blame you. Keep it Qingshan will not worry about running out of firewood, and in the future, the master will lead another army to fight back to Waqiaoguan, drive away Pan Meichen, and avenge the shame of today."
There was a knocking sound outside the door. It was Liu Yiming leading the rebels to hit the door.
The situation is critical and there can be no further delay. The coach ordered the housekeeper to immediately lead the family to escape through the back door.
In the empty courtyard, there were only fifty households left.
The snow was falling hard. In the cold white snow, what the coach saw were more than 50 bloody people.
"Today's matter is nothing more than death. Fortunately, I can have you warriors to fight to the end with me. Brothers, let's drink a bowl of wine, and then fight to the death with the rebels!"
"Swear to live and die with Guancheng!" The heroic and eager voice echoed in the courtyard, trembling with pieces of white snow falling from the sky.
The coach took out a jar of wine and poured fifty-three bowls, each holding a bowl.
At this time, the sound of knocking on the door was endless.
"The door is too strong, it's hard to break open! Master Liu, what should we do?" said a voice from outside.
"Since you can't knock it open, use fire!" Liu Yiming spoke, "Even if the commander's mansion is burned to ashes, the commander cannot be allowed to escape!"
As a result, fireworks rose outside the double gate, and the raging fire quickly engulfed the entire gate, and the gate was burned to the ground.
The coach raised his neck first, held the bowl in his right hand and the sword in his left, and tilted the bowl. Some viscous and yellowish liquid in the bowl rolled into his throat. His Adam's apple moved and gurgled. A bowl of wine was drunk into the stomach. With a bang, the wine bowl shattered into pieces on the Taihu stone.
"Everyone drank this glass of wine!"
So the fifty-two strong men raised their necks one after another and gulped down the wine. As soon as the wine entered their stomachs, they burned with passion. Fifty-two people made fifty-two piles of fire.
The coach picked up the bird painting bow, put on the feather sword, and pointed the arrow at the gate.
The door was burned by the fire and became fragile. Someone pushed hard with a spear, and the door collapsed. One of the rebel generals leapt into the door with a gun and a horse, but only heard the sound of bowstrings in the cold air, followed by a thud, the general fell from the horse with a plop, and his feather arrow passed through his throat. How could there be any life left? !
Fifty-two servants shouted together: "The general is good at archery!"
Liu Yiming was taken aback, and the two were fighting each other, not daring to come in. Waving his arms, he shouted to the cavalry next to him: "Go in, capture the commander alive, and receive the reward!"
At this time, it seemed as if flies saw blood, the rebel cavalry filed in, the zebras rustled, and the courtyard was suddenly enveloped by swords, lights and swords.
"Put down your weapons, and spare your lives!" Liu Yiming rode a horse and stood at the door of Erchong, condescending, with a smug smile on his face.
The coach felt that Liu Yiming's face was familiar, so he pointed to him and asked, "Who are you, why do you look familiar to me?"
Liu Yiming held the reins tightly, fearing that the dismounted horse would jump into the yard and be chopped down by the coach.
"I am Liu Yiming, a former important minister."
The coach nodded, and a look of contempt appeared on his face: "I thought I was so familiar with someone, but it turned out to be Liu Yiming, a treacherous minister of the former dynasty! You ruined the country of the previous dynasty and it was not enough, and now you are here to harm the country of this dynasty. change."
The cavalry from the rebel army kept pouring into the courtyard, and the small courtyard actually accommodated more than a thousand people.
Liu Yiming thought he had the chance to win, and nodded his chin to the coach: "I will give you one more chance. If you kneel and surrender now, I can spare your life. Not only will I spare your life, but I will also praise you in front of the king and let you do it." A vanguard to serve our nascent dynasty!"
"Hahahaha!" The coach laughed mockingly, embarrassing Liu Yiming, "Shoot as much as you want, so much nonsense!"
"Hmph, lifeless thing." Liu Yiming glanced at the cavalry in the courtyard conceitedly, "This is all my people, you can still stand out from the encirclement, it's really naive!"
The coach has already put on a plume arrow again: "Today I have no intention of leaving Waqiao Pass alive, but before I die, I will hold you back!"
With a bang, the sharp arrow pierced through the wind and snow, and went straight to Liu Yiming who was on the horse. Liu Yiming slammed, his face changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his back. The arrow came so suddenly that he had no choice but to jump to the ground.
Just as he was about to pounce off his horse, he suddenly felt the sound of the wind behind him. A man, like a big bird, landed in front of Liu Yiming's horse, stretched out his index and middle fingers, and gently caught the sharp arrow that was flying fast. At the same time, the man He landed lightly under the horse, with a gloomy smile on his face.
The coach was also stunned.
"you… "
