As the golden soldiers retreated, cheers rang out on the city wall even though Xun Ji was watching.
Many officials came to express their praise and encouragement to the officers, soldiers and peasants.
The city wall became a little noisy, and soon the women and children of the Qingshan Army came to stop it. The officials were not angry because of this, and left with a smile.
There were also women carrying food to the city wall, which was prepared for everyone by the rich merchants in the city. There was a large pot of meat, and there was originally a large bowl of wine, because now it is necessary to send them during the war.
The atmosphere on the city wall was lively, and a group of storytellers in the city were telling the people what happened outside the city just now. The brutality of the Jin soldiers and the tragic death of the people made the people in the city turn pale.
"So the Jin people are brutal, we must defend the city, otherwise it will be the end of the people outside the city."
This reassured the confidence of the people.
The people in the city are united, nervous, sad and indignant but full of fighting spirit.
"Are you scared?"
Miss Jun and King Huai had been staying in a tent on the city wall, and they did not retreat when the golden men and rocks were thrown at them. As King Huai himself said, he would stick to the city gate and never retreat.
Hearing Miss Jun's question, King Huai shook his head.
"Not afraid." He said with a pale face, and then paused for a moment, "It's just sad to see the people being slaughtered."
Miss Jun took a few steps forward and looked out of the city more clearly. There was a mess outside the city gate. More than half of Jin Bing's corpses were taken away by the opponent's people, and most of the rest were the corpses of the people of Dazhou. .
"So you have to remember that these people are the ones who slaughtered the people of our Great Zhou, and you must not bow to them," she said.
King Huai nodded heavily, and although he was very scared, he walked over and looked outside the city gate seriously.
"This king remembers it, and this king will always remember it." He said.
Ning Yan came with a few servants.
"Your Highness, let's eat." He said kindly.
King Huai nodded to Ning Yan, turned around and went in.
Ning Yan did not leave, but stood in front of Miss Jun.
"People's hearts are finally stable, and Miss Jun has contributed a lot," he said.
Miss Jun smiled wryly.
She was able to stabilize people's hearts this time because she relied on the reputation she had accumulated for a long time. She was a miracle doctor, cured acne, promoted vaccines, and led the army in the north to rescue.
But she didn't do it for this moment.
"I don't want to live in this kind of skill," she said.
Ning Yan smiled.
"Yun Zhao is following His Majesty." He paused for a moment and said, regretting a little after he finished speaking. What did he say at this moment
And he said to follow, not to run away.
Everyone knew that the emperor had run away, so those who followed His Majesty also ran away.
"It's a good thing to have him with the emperor," Miss Jun said.
She said this without the slightest hesitation, even more crisply than what she said when she heard the news.
Ning Yan was slightly taken aback, she trusted Yun Zhao a lot, and Yun Zhao didn't treat her like that.
If at first...
Ning Yan was silent for a moment.
"At the time my father broke his promise," he said.
This sudden sentence made Miss Jun stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about the old affairs of Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Jun.
"When a person is impulsive in his life, he will inevitably do wrong things." Miss Jun said, "With Mr. Ning's words, this matter is over."
Ning Yan smiled, the son didn't say anything about his father's fault, so it's not good to say more.
"Miss Jun has dealt with the golden men in the north." He looked outside the city, and he could see the golden men from a distance, and they seemed to have set up camp there, "What do you think the odds are?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Miss Jun looking at him.
He also turned his head and saw that Miss Jun had a strange expression.
"Odds of winning?" Miss Jun said, "My lord, there is no chance of winning."
No chance
Ning Yan looked slightly stunned.
Of course, his Jin soldiers are ferocious, and it is very difficult to defend the city this time, but firstly, the city is united, secondly, the city walls are strong and thick, and thirdly, there are magic weapons of the Qingshan Army, so there is a glimmer of hope, right
Unexpectedly, Miss Jun would say no directly.
"There is one thing I didn't say." Miss Jun looked at him, "There are four cannon carriages, but there are only two stone bullets."
two!
Ning Yan was stunned and then sad.
Two gold soldiers can neither kill the extra gold soldiers nor deter them from retreating, so...
"So what we can do and look forward to now is not the chance of winning, but how long we can persist." Miss Jun said, looking into the distance, "If we can persist until the arrival of reinforcements, it will be considered a victory."
When she said this, she looked at Ning Yan.
"Lord Ning, keep this matter a secret."
Ning Yan smiled wryly. Of course he would keep this matter a secret. When he heard this, his legs couldn't help but soften. If the public knew, the capital would collapse immediately without the golden soldiers attacking the city.
"Defending the city is a battle to the death." Miss Jun said, "Only by fighting to the death can we fight for a chance."
So even if it is a lie, we must stabilize the hearts of the people, so that there will be a battle, and there will be a chance of survival.
Ning Yan nodded.
"Now that the Jin people have come to the city, there is no other choice but to defend the city. Fortunately, our capital is high and thick, and it is not easy to break through. There is enough rice, grain and drinking water in the city. Now everyone in the city is united. Everyone is a soldier. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians guard the city for ten days. Half a month is not a problem."
Miss Jun also nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, just wait until reinforcements arrive," she said.
Yes, if you can hold on and there are reinforcements.
Ning Yan looked out of the city, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he was resolute immediately.
Even... it's just a death.
…
"Prepare the car and prepare the car."
At this time, in Yangcheng Beiliu, Mrs. Ning's cry came from the Ning family's house.
The cry soon subsided, and the person next door who heard the movement also sighed softly and closed the door.
Although the Jin soldiers did not come to Yangcheng, Yangcheng and even the whole of Shanxi were on high alert. All the cities were closed and the houses were locked.
No one dared to run outside, except those who had concerns outside, such as Mrs. Ning from the Ning family.
"Yunzhao is still in the capital, what should we do?" Mrs. Ning had already been helped back into the house by the maid, she was sitting on the bed crying out of breath.
The emperor's escape was locked in the capital with the closure of the gates of the capital. After all, this is not a glorious thing, and the officials of the capital have banned the spread of this news.
Therefore, people outside the capital did not know that the emperor had left the capital, so the Ning family did not know that Ning Yunzhao was no longer in the capital.
"What can I do? What can I do if you go?" Master Ning shouted angrily.
"I can die with him when I go." Mrs. Ning cried.
What can I do but die, Master Ning sat down on the chair.
"This is the way of the world, this is the way of the world." He murmured, tears streaming down silently.
…
The city gates of Yangcheng are also closed. Although there are still people walking around on the streets, they are not as bustling as before.
The Fang family's mansion has been divided into three, and the connecting doorways have been sealed, so Fang Yunxiu came through the main entrance.
"Is the young master there?"
Fang Yunxiu asked first when he entered the door.
Before the servant could answer, Fang Yuxiu's voice sounded from inside.
"You have something to do with my brother?" she asked.
Seeing that she was there, Fang Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief and walked in quickly.
"Is Grandmother okay?" she asked.
Fang Yuxiu took her hand in.
"Very good, I just won a hundred taels of silver." She said.
win? So they are playing cards
Fang Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked inside, he saw that there was a card table. Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Yuan were sitting together talking and joking, and they both still held cards in their hands.
"Eldest sister is here too, come and join us." Yuanshi also greeted.
"Why are you still playing cards?" Fang Yunxiu said with a wry smile, "What happened in the capital..."
"What about the capital city?" Mrs. Fang said indifferently, "Defend the city to the death."
That's true, Fang Yunxiu was silent for a moment.
"Where's little brother?" She asked, Fang Chengyu cared about Miss Jun the most, and Miss Jun was in the capital right now, so he wouldn't be going to the capital too, would he
"Sister, are you looking for me?"
Fang Chengyu's voice came from outside, and people also raised the curtain to come in. After a year, they grew taller, still smiling before saying anything.
"Sister thought you went to the capital." Fang Yuxiu said, "After all, Jun Zhenzhen is trapped in the capital."
Fang Chengyu smiled, but there was no trace of worry.
"Grandmother said, the city is defending the city, and if the city is broken, it's just a death." He said, "It's nothing."
It's okay to die.
Fang Yunxiu was silent.
Yes, people are mortal, and there is nothing wrong with dying.
…
All the cities on Jingdong Road are closed.
The guards on the city looked nervously at the men and horses that appeared in sight.
"There is another group of golden men." The sentinel trembled.
"Shh, don't make any noise." The person next to him hurriedly said in a low voice.
It seems that those golden soldiers will not find that there is a city here.
Already terrified.
"It's not that we are scared, but we are not their opponents at all." Another soldier said in a low voice, with a bit of shame.
There was a silence on the top of the city.
"The golden soldiers have passed." Suddenly a man whispered.
Everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly looked at it, but their expressions turned gloomy immediately.
"Going to the capital again." A soldier murmured, "I don't know what's going on in the capital."
"So what, there are not many soldiers and horses in the capital." Another soldier bowed his head and said, "And it has been so many days, and the golden soldiers are still constantly reinforcing..."
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the direction of the capital.
I'm afraid the capital has already fallen.
