When Tang Xizong, who was awakened overnight, was surrounded by the guards and walked up to the east wall of the Zicheng again, all he saw was the chaotic flames shrouded in the gray and dark Tai (Outer Guo) city.
"Holy Lord... Holy Lord..."
When Tian Lingzi stumbled on the tower later, everyone was in an uproar.
Because I saw his voice as stern as a night owl, and his unkempt and unkempt bruises and hematomas seemed to have suffered a very miserable thing, and people almost couldn't recognize that he lived in a healthy life and kind eyebrows on weekdays. The "big father" of the test.
And behind him was Chen Jingxuan, who was carried by someone, who was dying, and dripped drops of blood on the rack, like a dead fish dried upright, only There was still a weak hum from his mouth.
"Holy Lord, the sky is pitiful, I almost can't see the holy face again and hear the holy words..."
The miserable Tian Lingzi shouted out again in a dumb voice.
"What's the situation..."
His face was already pale, but now Tang Xizong, who was even more sickly like Cangxue, couldn't help but trembling his arm and asked. However, Tian Lingzi's body swayed at this time, and he fell to the side with his eyes glowing in exclamation, and was quickly supported by his entourage.
"Enlighten the Holy Lord, when Tian Dagong and Chen Shushuai were called to come, they were attacked and killed by thieves with strong bows and crossbows at the Zhongdao Street Market. Only when the Koro was desperately guarded were they able to rush out of the ambush, and with all their strength they drove forward Come see the driver and ask for safety..."
A Jiang Bian who was also bloodied on his body hurriedly said.
After a while, he returned to his house.
"Stupid, don't hurry up and pack it up... I have said that it is not too late. The Holy Lord is unaware of it for a while. Do you really treat everyone else as a blind man and a fool..."
Tian Lingzi, who had regained his tolerance and calmness, roared with hatred for iron and steel.
The injuries on his head and face really fell and rolled out, but lying on the rack and groaning like Chen Jingxuan who was about to die in the next moment, it was another matter. Immediately, I saw the blood-stained opponent sitting up with an embarrassed and brilliant face, and then threw away a punctured pouch and said:
"Brother don't want to get angry, I'm not trying to deepen the impression in front of the Holy Lord..."
"Then do something decent for me too. What does it look like with a blood bag stuck to chicken feathers..."
Tian Lingzi hated the voice again.
"Now that the Holy Master’s instructions have been obtained, don’t look forward and look back and feel weak.. This trip should be taken care of in the up and down, inside and outside the city, otherwise the scourge of our waiting will be just around the corner. Up..."
"If it hadn't been for the children of my kindness and righteousness to report secretly, someone would take the opportunity to attack the Holy Lord and try to trap my brother in the Jedi; I am afraid that the place where the Ming Dynasty died without burial is still unknown..."
"Then let them die first..."
Chen Jingxuan no longer gave a humble smile at this moment, but gritted his teeth with a hideous face.
At the same time, Dongchuan Jiedu, who was standing on the gate of Jinqiao that had changed hands, made Yang Shili look at the left and right and shouted with dissatisfaction.
"Why can't you take the Zi (inner) city and the East and West Jiacheng in one go... Only with the holy driver in hand can we talk about peace of mind!! How can the generations rush into the city except for jumping into the front team? I can’t find my own team... Is it possible that I will lead the crowd to attack the city myself."
"Jieshuai, please forgive me, most of the boys come from poor and addictive rural areas; it is inevitable that the black lamp suddenly touched into this Jinguan City, chasing the enemy, and was lost for a while and couldn't find the way."
The generals faced each other for a long time, and then someone reluctantly stood up and said, but it was Zheng Junxiong, the left-wing general who made the move.
"All I have to do is to wait two or three hours for me to keep those children who will be dragged back to take orders..."
Fortunately, Yang Shili didn't mean to continue to study further, and then he said to another old-looking minister:
"Zhang Shian! The other men and horses will get lost in the city. Do you build the team also get lost for a while? Why did I want to attack the inner city equipment, but I haven't been able to send it into the city for a long time."
"The commander must be a good lesson. Although the Jinguan City is a big place, the roads are narrow and winding. All the newly-built equipment has to be disassembled and loaded into the city before it can be transported into the city..."
The veteran named Zhang Shian is also complaining
"However, if you want to use it in the city, you also have to find another suitable and spacious place and spread it out on the spot... The children have already tried their best to..."
"That's not enough! You guys are looking for a place to kill, and what road to detour?"
At this moment, Yang Shili only felt that he was going to be blown up by the dullness and stupidity of these people.
"It's okay to take someone to demolish it all the way from under the gate of the city right away, or set it on fire. It is necessary to clear a smooth way to Zhizi City..."
"You all have understood it to me. Only if we take the Zicheng and Walk in, we are all contemporary heroes who protect the saints and the public; but if we can't take it down, nothing more will be nothing. ."
"What the marshal said is quite true..."
"Follow the teachings..."
The generals changed their colors one after another and raced to get busy. .
However, when the Dongchuan Army managed to suppress most of the city gates and erected the siege stone cannons, crossbows, etc., in a line to jerk and jerk the ladder, it was already pale and unexpected. Variables have also arrived.
"Report, there is the Xichuan Army Banner in the southeast, which is approaching the main formation..."
A sweaty Linlin Xunqifei got off the horse.
"Have you ever seen who's the banner..."
Yang Shili couldn't help but feel tight, but he arrived as if nothing had happened.
"At the festival, it has been proved that it is the general flag of Yang character..."
Xunqi didn't even raise his head.
"That's the man who Xichuan attacked Yang Maoyan, deputy envoy..."
Yang Shili immediately laughed at the left and right.
"If Gao Renhou had come in person, I would look up to him a bit; but this Yang Maoyan is nothing but an imaginary head-handling style. Come, dare to ask who would lead an army to the camp outside the city. Stop it a little bit..."
"Humble and willing to share the worries for the commander..."
At this time, there is a vanguard general who knows that the soldiers and horses will answer Hao Juan.
"Well, as long as you can use the camp as a bait to hinder him for a while, it will be enough for me to order the former horse team to attack another door, and then break it together with you..."
So after more than half a day, Yang Maoyan, full of regret, surrounded by hundreds of exhausted guards, watched the subordinates who had been divided by the Dongchuan Army on the left and right, were chased and chopped down by the swords and guns of the Dongchuan Army. Down, or knelt down in groups begging for mercy.
This is the elite athlete that he brought back from the Xichuan army on the expedition, relying on personal means and prestige, and forcibly bringing back the driver for the first time. As a result, he was so hungry and exhausted that he collapsed in the Dongchuan camp outside Chengdu.
Afterwards, under the grey sky that was blowing again in the wind and snow, Shi Yang, dressed in fox fur cloak, stood in front of the remnants of them, and General Hao Juan shouted:
"Yang Maoyan, this is the end of the matter. If you don't want to stop, you can give yourself and others a way to survive..."
"Catch it with one's hands."
"Please come down quickly."
The Dongchuan army surrounded by groups all around shouted in unison. However, Yang Maoyan, full of regret and despair, seemed to suddenly cheer up and say to the left and right:
"Someone regretted not listening to Gao's words, and was eager to make contributions. This is what he said. Now he can only fight to death for a while, but it is a pity that these athletes who follow me...
"Wish to follow the deputy envoy to fight for the country..."
The guards in Sakon responded with tragic and vigorous one after another. Then under the leadership of Yang Maoyan, they gathered up their frozen bodies and residual blood, and suddenly rushed towards Yang Shili's place.
However, many of the Zizhou Baibangmen jerk and jerk as if blocked from the tip of a spear, struggling to slay the crossbowmen who were struggling to move forward and were shot with two wings, and put them in a pool of blood one by one.
When the Xingzai and Jieya in the Chengdu sub-city belonged to, in the light blood permeating the air, the sun rose again; and the side of the attacking equipment in the outer Guocheng was hung upside down in the air." The "Xichuan Challenge" military flag, and many bloody heads stuck on the top of the grab.
Suddenly, one after another uproar shouts and exclamations resounded on the wall. Even the defenders couldn't help looking around with panic and dismay, and dropped their crossbows, swords and spears in their hands.
This is another series of shouts coming out of the city:
"Dongchuan guards Yang Shili, please see the dignity of the holy lord..."
"Please see the Lord's Dignity..."
"Please see the Lord's Dignity..."
But beside Tang Xizong in the gatehouse, there was a panic shouting:
"Tian Guiren, where is Tian Guiren?"
"Can't find Chen Jieshuai..."
"Holy Lord is eager to move, how can this be good..."
After such a tossing until the afternoon, Tang Xizong, who had not been able to rest for several consecutive days, walked tremblingly to the observation platform at the highest point of the tower under the persuasion from left and right and tried his best, facing the countless in the field of vision. The Armored Crown Shuosuo and the Dongchuan Army, whose banners are like forests, shouted in a strong spirit:
"What happened to this generation, dare to commit a crime before driving... not afraid of death."
After these words were passed on to and from a sergeant with a loud voice, Yang Shili immediately rode out his horse, and the commander around him responded loudly:
"Sometimes there are treacherous men in the prestige and cruel weights, so they have to do it. Please also ask the Holy Lord to give them a lesson."
—I am the dividing line —
And outside of Jiangling City, the weather is warming up as the snow stops turning; in the intertwined fields, the large and small roads extending in all directions, and the dense cobwebs of rivers and alleys, there are already endless pedestrians, carts and horses. .
And Zhou Huai'an, with Cao Hongyao, is also enjoying the rare pleasure of a short trip out in the winter, watching the folk scenes casually for a while. At least most of the people I have seen here, although they can't help describing the tendency to be thin, they are still quite energetic, and no longer have the obvious dishes or the yellowish skin.
Except for business travelers, most people seem to have old clothes and lots of patches, but they are still clean and tidy from head to toe; working people, including men, women, old and young, feel that the minimum hygiene conditions are well maintained. , The unkempt appearance that was hovering outside the city in groups has basically disappeared.
In fact, with the recovery of productivity and the recuperation of registered residents, the market for basic private entertainment consumption and daily needs in many cities under the Taiping Army is gradually picking up and recovering.
The best portrayal of these shops in the city’s workshops that have not been closed even in the cold winter, as well as the transshipment docks, cattle and horse markets, and shops, as well as the business travelers, vehicles and boats that shuttle between them are the best portrayal.
Therefore, some low-cost, easy-to-use and popular entertainment methods and contents such as tea, storytelling, and card shows under the leadership of the Metropolitan Government; also with the loose atmosphere and rules, they began to quietly appear everywhere and gradually cancelled the military control status. , Or in the city where the management is cancelled.
When I went to this place outside the city, Jingzhou Grand Theater is one of them. This is also among the construction projects of the Taiping Army, there are only a few specially approved entertainment and consumption places not for reproduction and infrastructure. (End of this chapter)
