The combat readiness in the Xingqing Hall did not last long, and I saw that the square in front of the temple was already getting closer and closer to the sound of whistles and horns, vying to retreat like a turbid current and more defeated troops. They were just like that. At a loss, he bypassed the direction of the Xingqing Temple where he was arranging the resistance, and regardless of history, he sent out the interception and gathered the tooth soldiers, so he fled through all the gaps in the building complex.
Then, behind them, a cyan banner was held high in the air, accompanied by the crowds of cyan-gray armor suits rushing to avoid dust and trembling, and quickly concealed the archway and gate of the palace square in front of them, advocating pavilions and other auxiliary buildings. , Appeared under the towering cloud steps where Xingqing Palace was located, just a stone's throw away. The people chasing at both ends have already bypassed this hall.
"Reinforcements can't be counted on, so step up and get started...otherwise it will be too late..."
Shi Keji couldn't help taking a deep breath, and sternly said to the left and right:
"Lian Shuai... Maybe we can think of something from these women..."
An Yayan general leaned forward to offer his words:
"what?."
Shi Keji couldn't help being shocked: Although he was determined to be martyrdom for the country, it would be another matter if he could survive because of this. Then he said without hesitation:
"If you can get off because of this, you will be the soldier of the German army..."
As a result, the Taiping Army, who was waiting to attack under dozens of cloud steps in front of the hall, suddenly saw the doors of the Xingqing Hall that had been confined, and they were suddenly pushed open from the inside and out, and they couldn't help but blow again. After the warning sounded the team's whistle and shouted one after another:
"It seems that the enemy is about to break through..."
"Beware of enemy counterattacks and assaults..."
"The gun crew will change the projectile immediately..."
"The grenadier is ready to intercept the kerosene bomb..."
"Bunkers and shooting soldiers marched forward, and the spearmen and big-name players were ready to stand by."
However, in response to the sound of the passwords, there was a mess of shrieking and shrill voices, and then suddenly many stumbling figures rushed out from the opening of the temple doors, but these figures were all of them. They are all untidy clothes or simply white flowers and strips of light, which make people look straight.
"Father Aroko... Is this the opening of the Wugou Garden tomorrow?"
Bai Duolu, who had just checked the firing preparations of the front row of several gun groups, couldn't help but slide down the observation ruler in his hand and lost his voice:
"The swordsman made an array interception, but all the others stepped back five steps, be careful to take advantage of chaos and surprise.
However, Gu Liumeng, Captain Xuanfeng, who was in the middle of the command, shouted with a change of face; because this scene reminded him of the time when Yuanshu Annan went to camp, the rudimentary Xiyuan barbarian and Nanzhao tribe liked it Drive the children of the people in front, and ride the chaos to cross the maximum damage range of the frontier army's good use of bows and crossbows, just like this, close fights caused many casualties and losses.
However, his command was only able to be communicated and issued. The front line in an offensive posture was not so easy to switch from below. Instead, as these women who rushed forward in a panic, different degrees of confusion and delay appeared; However, it has become one after another shouting and killing, but the officers and soldiers who are mixed have suddenly killed in the forefront.
And Bai Duolu’s front artillery team also encountered several enemy soldiers who came out silently from among these women running down the steps; I saw that they did not hesitate to overthrow, knock down, and hack and kill anything. He dared to stand in front of his own obstacles, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of the ready-to-fire Kluo gun. A gunner rushed out and swept away with a stabbing stick, but was held back by one of the enemy soldiers swinging a knife, and the other enemy soldier slammed through the sand quickly.
Under the spray of blood, the other two gunners suddenly seemed to lose their courage. On the spot, one turned around and fled without hesitation; the other stumbled and fell on the ground and grabbed a cannon, hurriedly threw it on the foot of the nearest enemy soldier, causing him pain, but he couldn’t stop it. The other enemy soldier stabbed him with a knife, and then suddenly he let go of the knife and fell aside.
But Bai Duolu, who had fought in two battles, had already drew out a three-inch short gun to hit the opponent's chest. The other enemy soldiers took a few steps back in surprise, and picked up a vine card that had been discarded before, and then concealed them again. However, Bai Duolu seemed to wake up completely at this time, picking it up quickly with quick eyes and hands. The ball-head hammer hit hard on the fire door plugged into the cannon body. . .
Suddenly the thunder-like bombing blasted into the crowd, and the several enemy soldiers whose muzzle shrank to the front were also mostly shrouded in gushing fireworks, and the front of the room was blocked. As far as the field of vision was cleared, only a fragmented human body that had burst and scattered nearby was left. Seeing this scene, Bai Duolu was also a little stunned, and could only mutter in silence:
"The emperor Aroke is on the top, and the Great Sovereign of Mouse Moves protects me, so that I can avoid harm, and the swordsman can hardly hurt my life..."
And the sound of the cannon was like a prelude to the surprise attack and counterattack in this frontier sequence, and it became the sound of more intense fighting and fighting. However, not long after the shield formation in the later sequence of the Taiping Army had taken shape, these officers and soldiers, who were mixed in groups of women who attacked in groups, lost the suddenness and local advantage of the sudden attack, and soon fell into sluggishness and stagnation. Surrounded by it.
In the fierce fighting and shouting in front of the palace, Shi Kechi and several soldiers who had been changed into the clothes of the small envoys of the palace also slowly climbed out from the top of the wart behind the palace. Then, he put a heavy long ladder stored in the cabinet, and built Fen Li Yuekong on the opposite palace wall leading to the Jiaotai Hall; then these soldiers climbed and fixed the opposite one by one after another. He set his feet, and then greeted Shi Kezhi to continue climbing.
However, Shi Kezhi tried to climb more than half of them, and suddenly the soldiers leaning on the foot of the ladder changed their faces and shouted:
"who?.."
"Lian Shuai, come here soon..."
"Lian Shuai be careful..."
"Stop the thief..."
Because, in the perspective that Shi Kezhi tried to look back, there was a ghost-like figure of a woman covered in blood, crouching down on the edge of the long ladder along the top of the wart that they climbed out; even if it was not very at this moment The history of devout belief in ghosts and gods is within reach, and I can’t help but shattered hands and feet and climbed forward with all my strength. While determined in my heart, as long as I can get away at this time, I must invite the water and land dojo of the Buddhist Dao Suppress these resentful souls.
I saw him in the obvious sense of shaking, three times, five times and two, recklessly rushing forward, can hold the arms of the soldiers; suddenly Shi Kezhi was shocked. Lost the focus of the whole body, and could no longer hold the palm of one of the soldiers, he slipped off the palace wall slowly and resolutely, and then crashed into a long ladder and fell heavily to the ground. The world hangs upside down, and the horrible ones can't get up anymore.
"Save Lian Shuai..."
Amid these shouts, three soldiers jumped from the palace wall again, and then they helped Shi Keji up, and put him on top of the wall again, letting him, who was weak and dizzy, on the wall. Reached out and held it; however, at this moment, a crackling sound rang under Shi Kezhi's body. It was the spooky woman on the top of the wart, but with a tragic smile, she threw the covered tile again.
Although he couldn't hit Shi Kezhi because of his lack of strength, he hit one of the two soldiers underneath him on the head, and suddenly groaned and fell over with Shi Kezhi. At this time, the noise of fighting in the distance has also become a figure that is clearly visible in the field of vision, running around the back of the palace.
At this moment, the two soldiers left on the wall seemed to be completely desperate, and they suddenly looked at each other as if they were determined to give up under a certain desire to survive, and then turned without hesitation and turned back to the outer wall along the ridge of the spacious palace wall. He ran away in the direction of the wall, and straightly left Shi Kezhi and the others behind him.
A few hours later, in the imperial city, the tallest and most magnificent building complex—the towering Quelou Lingyan Pavilion next to the Taiji Hall.
"Nan Nei hasn't fallen, and the Tiande army is afraid that they have already been martyred? ... What about the other people and horses, what are the other people and horses nearby
Cui Anqian stood in front of the wall mural of the "Twenty-Four Heroes in Lingyan Pavilion" made by Yan Liben, which occupied a whole wall, and was silent for a while before he said to himself:
"Is there no one going to support and respond?"
"How can things become like this?..."
However, no one can respond to him at this moment, because many of the staff and subordinates of the camp and the festival are all driven out by the rare and popular Cui Anqian, and only the military academy that is routinely outside is left. And messenger.
It seemed that after the "Monk Zhou" first led his troops into the city, the good situation that the officer and army had mastered had begun to take a turn for the worse; could it be that the other party really has a demon method to seize and change the luck and confidence of the enemy and ourselves. At this moment, Cui Anqian, who has always respected the Dharma but is not very pious, couldn't help but have some strange thoughts and thoughts, and asked himself again:
"Could it be that no one can share my worries and resolve doubts with me?"
"Returning to each other, it is because the nearby army is busy packing up their bags and pulling out the camp, but they can't take care of each other for a while..."
Suddenly a voice rang and said:
Cui Anqian couldn't help turning around, only to find that Chen Anping, one of Hedong (Jieya) Confucian Officials, was named Ding E. It was also recommended by another local tribe, the Chen clan, to enter the scene after Qixian Wangmen was banned for interrogation. Child. Because he was born with red lips and white teeth, he was handsome and delicate, and he had a nickname of "Anping Lady" among the many officials, so he had some impression in the eyes of Cui An.
