"I'm afraid your plan won't work." Xu Miaojin finally said.

"But Niangniang, according to the minister's strategy, at least it is possible, if you don't follow the minister's strategy, once the city is broken, how to deal with it?" Qu Feng knelt on the ground, listening to the uneasy gasp that came from the screen after Xu Miaojin finished speaking, and said.

After the city was broken, Commander Qu led the remnants of the army to withdraw to the Suwang Mansion and continue to hold on. The walls of Suwangfu are high and thick, and the area is not large; The bandits who invaded the city would divide their forces to plunder the treasury and hold out for another two or three hours. Reinforcements may arrive in two or three hours. Xu Miaojin said.

"But Niangniang, if no reinforcements arrive after two or three hours, or the reinforcements who arrive are also defeated by bandits, then ...... then" Qu Feng's words were not finished, but everyone understood what he meant.

"When the time comes, the palace and Princess Su and the eldest princess of Huainan will commit suicide, and they will never disgrace the royal family!" Xu Miaojin said categorically.

Hearing Xu Miaojin's words, there were bursts of low sobbing from behind the screen, but no one spoke, and they all acquiesced to Xu Miaojin's decision.

"As for Zhi and the others," Xu Miaojin continued, "The palace has already hidden them with the people who are in order with Princess Su, and has found a few children of the same age. Once the Su Wangfu was captured, the palace raised a fire ** and burned these searched children to death, and it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the corpses. They were able to see the bodies of several of us again, and most of them believed that they would not search for them among the people. So Zhi and the others survived. ”

"This," Qu Feng was stunned. Although there are a lot of people in this era who are afraid that the corpse will be humiliated after death, she can say this so firmly, which still surprises him.

"That's it!" Xu Miaojin commanded a few more words, and finally said: "Commander Qu, this is the case, you go and rest quickly, and tomorrow you will command the soldiers to defend the city." Even if the loss of the city is inevitable, hold on for as long as possible. ”

"Yes, sis. The minister retired. Qu Feng glanced at the place where Xu Miaojin's voice came out, kowtowed again, and stepped back.

Immediately after that, a voice came from behind the screen: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be like this, when the time comes, let a palace maid raise a fire**, put them together, let them together, and die, you don't have to make such a big sacrifice yourself." ”

"A few of us committed suicide with a white practice, and then let the palace maid burn the corpse to ashes, only a few children**? How could the leaders of the bandits, Ma Buxiang and Soraha, believe it if they didn't see the real corpse? In order to convince them, I had to **, i.e., so that they could not humiliate the corpses, but they still had to see the human form. Fourteenth aunt," Xu Miaojin said to Princess Su again: "You have to be with me." ”

"This, but," Princess Su didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Xu Miaojin: "There is nothing!" You must join me**. But there is your son who will live! ”

Princess Su was obviously unwilling, and she was still thinking about saying no**, but when she heard Xu Miaojin's words, she was stunned for a moment, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

"What about me? Sister-in-law? The voice that spoke before said again, a little apprehensive.

"You don't have to," behind the screen, Xu Miaojin reached out and stroked Yun Zhi's face, and said with a smile: "If the bandits attack the Suwang Mansion, won't you go into battle with the bandits in person tomorrow?" You just go and fight the bandits, don't worry about anything else. ”

"Just remember, you must not be captured, and if you can't get out, you will kill yourself! I will arrange for the guards to follow you, and if you cannot escape, you will be cut into several pieces so that you will not be humiliated. ”

"Got it, sister-in-law." Yun Zhi also said with tears in her eyes at the end.

……

……

On the second day, on the first day of the ninth month, before dawn, Ma Buxiang commanded his men to start attacking the city. He cheered up all the leaders and said, "The garrison in the city has been depleted, and the guards have also suffered heavy losses. ”

"Although we died more, but with the help of pulling heads along the way, and searching for young people everywhere during the siege to attack the city, not many of your subordinates died, and most of the deaths were brought in heads."

"So our strength loss is not large, on the contrary, because we have experience in siege warfare, our combat power is even stronger than six days ago. So today's decision is to break through Ganzhou City in one fell swoop! ”

"There are countless grains and treasures in the city of Ganzhou. Think about it, if a prince is stationed in the city of Ganzhou, how many treasures will he use? What's more, he still has concubines, children, and even palace maids, how many jewelry are these people wearing? Coupled with the treasured things, everyone can get rich! ”

Seeing that all the leaders were aroused by his words, and some people even couldn't help but swallow their breath and spit at the foam, Ma Buxiang smiled with satisfaction and continued: "At that time, the grain will naturally be distributed equally, but the treasures will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. ”

"In addition, there is also one of the concubines of the current emperor of the Ming Kingdom in the city, and the concubine of King Su, a princess. These are all women that everyone can't come into contact with on a daily basis. If you can take them captive, give them to the brethren and be happy! ”

"There are also maids from the Su Palace, princesses, and palace maids brought by princesses and princesses in the city. Although these palace ladies were not as noble as them, they were all middle-looking women, and if they could be taken prisoner, they would be distributed among the brothers below. ”

"Damn, if you can the princess and princess once in this life, it's worth it even if you die!" One of the leaders below said loudly.

"Don't talk about the living, even if you get the corpse and it once!" Someone else said.

"Haha! You're such a terrible person, I can't let me fuck the corpse anyway. It's better to a few more living palace maids. Someone else said.

For a while, the leaders below began to talk enthusiastically about this topic.

"It's a mud thing that can't hold up the wall! I even thought about this! Soraha, who was standing beside Ma Buxiang, couldn't help but say.

"If they weren't for the mud, how could we turn them back so easily? Anyway, we don't really want to bring most people back to Samarkand, it's nothing if they're muddy. Ma Buxiang said with a smile.

"By the way, yesterday I saw smoke and dust in the northwest, but today I don't see it, but I don't see the camp where I am stationed. Where the hell did that troop go? No, it's not the soldiers who came to rescue Ganzhou City. Soraha suddenly remembered the incident and said.

"It's easy to say. This is hilly terrain, just find a small hill to hide in the back, we can't see it. But why didn't they attack it? Even if he wasn't a soldier who rescued Ganzhou City at the beginning, he should rush to the rescue when he saw that Ganzhou City was in such a crisis. Why are you hiding? Hearing him mention it, Ma Buxiang himself was puzzled.

"Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom asked them to perform some more important errand?" Soraha guessed.

"What could be more important than rescuing Ganzhou City?" Ma Buxiang asked rhetorically.

Soraha couldn't answer. But because of this, he was even more puzzled: "Could it be that the generals who command the army are greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

"That's not right. Afterwards, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom will definitely investigate, if it is found that they have been near the city of Ganzhou but have not come to the rescue, according to our experience in the Ming Kingdom for many years, such a crime must be beheaded. He simply won't survive. ”

"Why the hell?" Soraha asked again.

"Don't think about it. Anyway, it's only about a thousand people up and down, so there's not much to think about. I'll just have 2,000 men ready at all times. Ma Buxiang finally said.

After a while, when the leaders were quiet, Ma Buxiang continued: "After breaking through the city, the brothers will divide into two routes, one way to attack the Suwang Mansion, and the other to seize the official treasury. The main thing to seize the official treasury is grain, and most of the treasures are also in the Su Wangfu, even if there are some things in the official treasury, they are far inferior to those in the palace, so there is no need to bother to get them. ”

"Brothers who go to seize the official treasury don't have to worry," Ma Buxiang saw that there were several leaders present who were about to speak, and hurriedly continued: "I will personally go to the palace to keep an eye on it, and what should be given to other brothers will definitely not be swallowed." Brothers, do you still believe in my character? ”

Hearing this, the leader who had just spoken shut his mouth again. Ma Buxiang's performance these days is really good, and everyone can only believe in him.

But someone else asked, "What if they burn the grain in the storehouse?" ”

"If the grain is burned, then make the people of the city offer the food, and each man will have three meals. That's enough for us to eat for a month or two. In addition, there are cattle and sheep in the city, and the cattle and sheep cannot be killed for a while. Take all these cattle and sheep away, enough food for the way to Samarkand. ”

Ma Buxiang answered a few more questions, and after seeing that everyone had no questions, he began to order the method and order of the siege. When he had said all this, he cried out, "Brothers, begin the siege!" ”

……

……

"Niangniang, the outer city has been lost, and the minister was ordered to retreat to the Su Wangfu." Qu Feng, who was covered in blood, stood in front of Xu Miaojin and bowed down and said. Before he could finish his salute, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward to support him, and at the same time, Xu Miaojin said: "It's already very good that Commander Qu has been able to hold on to this point, especially since the bandits outside have used such despicable means. Hurry down and rest. Leave it to someone else here. ”

"Niangniang, the minister can still hold on! Let the ministers arrange the defense of the Su Wangfu. Qu Feng said. At the same time, he added in his heart: 'It won't be long before you can rest forever, and you don't need to rest at this time.' ’

Looking at Qu Feng's expression, Xu Miaojin also understood what he was thinking, and said, "Since this is the case, please ask the commander!" But commander, you must not have the idea of breaking the jar and breaking it, and you must hold on for as long as possible! Maybe reinforcements will be able to arrive. Perhaps, there is a turning point. ”

"Follow the orders of the mother." Qufeng shouted loudly.
