Chapter 87: Into the City

He didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red, and he was restless in the house. Now what is left in the city are mostly some family private soldiers and unimportant court soldiers and horses. The really formed army has been taken out of the city by Babu and others. How can this little soldier fight against the Song army?

Before the arrival of the Song army, he always felt that the party was not in danger of perishing. As long as it drags on for a while, the Song army will retreat. Suddenly, Baa Bu and several generals retreated to Helan Mountain with a large army, leaving only an empty city, and the danger of destroying the country suddenly came to an eye.

When he arrived at the official hall, he looked at the empty room, and was a little dazed for a while, not knowing what he should do.

A soldier hurriedly came in and said, "Prime Minister, the south gate guard Muqi Wosha has surrendered to the enemy, and the enemy army has entered the city!" ”

Wu Zang Pang was taken aback: "What did you say?" Mu Qi is the pillar of the general country, how to surrender the enemy? ”

The soldier said: "The Song army has entered the city!" Prime Minister of State, it is better to get out of the city quickly and find a way out. Otherwise, when the Song army arrives at the house, there will be only one way to die. The sergeant of the house has begun to flee, and the little one has received the favor of the minister of the state and is willing to send the minister of the state to escape from the city. ”

He waved his hand indiscriminately, and said: "Xingqing Mansion here, the capital of a big country, how can there be Song troops coming in?" You must be talking nonsense, yes and no? Yes and no? Since Babu led the troops out of the city, you just want to see my jokes, and you will definitely not be able to get your wish! ”

Seeing that he had already been talking nonsense, the soldier sighed and turned to the back to find his son. At this time, you must escape from the city immediately, and there may be a way to live. If you continue to stay in Xingqing Mansion and entangle, you can only become a prisoner of the Song Army.

At the south city gate, Xiang Qiang rode on a horse and walked into the city gate. Looking at the party sergeants with different expressions on both sides, he was very vigilant. said that it was to open the city gate and surrender, who knows if there is any fraud in it? The two countries are fighting each other, and all kinds of things are really endless.

Muqi Wosha bowed his hand to Xiang Qiang: "I've seen the general." The 800 sergeants here have already put down their swords and guns to welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city! ”

Xiang Qiang nodded: "The general abandoned the darkness in time and turned to the light, and the credit is in the imperial court." and recruited his subordinates and went outside the city, and the captain had his own orders. ”

Muziwosha did not hesitate and said yes. He recruited his subordinate party soldiers and horses and prepared to leave the city.

Xiang Qiang held the reins of the horse in his left hand, and touched the waist knife in his right hand, not daring to slack off at all. It wasn't until Muqi Wosha led the troops out of the city, and his soldiers and horses occupied the defense of the city tower, that his heart relaxed. As long as the city gate is occupied, Xingqing Mansion will be captured.

Mu Qi Wosha arrived outside the city, asked the soldiers and horses to gather together, and said to the Song army generals who followed: "I don't know what else to order?" ”

The general crossed his hand: "Let the sergeant wait here, the captain over there is invited." ”

Muzi Wosha instructed his subordinates, followed behind the general, and arrived at a handsome tent not far away.

Han Qi and Liu Ji were already waiting in the tent, and when they saw Mu Qi Wosha coming in, they hurriedly got up together and said, "General Mu Qi was able to sacrifice the city gate and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, congratulations!" Wait until you enter the city, you are the first to work! ”

After speaking, he hurriedly asked Mu Qi to sit down, and ordered the soldiers to bring tea.

Muzi Wosha was only a middle-level junior officer of the party, and he was temporarily sent to guard the city gate after Babu led the army out of the city the day before yesterday. Seeing that the commander of the Song army was so polite to him, he hurriedly thanked him.

After asking for tea, Han Qi said, "General, I don't know how many defenders are still in the city?" ”

Mu Qi Wosha said: "The day before yesterday, Captain Babu led a large army out of the city, and there were only some scattered soldiers left in the city, and there should be four or five thousand people. Most of these people were soldiers of the great clan, and there were only more than 2,000 people guarding the city gates. ”

Han Qi looked at Liu Ji and said, "I see." I only heard that Captain Babu led the army out of the city, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses are left in the city, and we are worried. A general dedicated the city gate, and Xingqing Mansion belongs to the imperial court today. ”

Muqi Wosha nodded: "There are thousands of soldiers in the city, how can they be the opponents of the army?" The captain should quickly send a large army into the city, and don't let the princes and nobles in the city escape. The other three gates are not down, and these people have soldiers in the clan, and it is difficult to capture them if they run away. ”

Han Qi said: "Don't worry. When the south gate is guarded, it is not too late for the army to enter the city again. Even if the people of the city want to run, where can they run? Now except for Helan Mountain, the party is only left in Hengshan, and they have no way to go. ”

Muqi Wosha is just offering the city gate to fight for wealth, and he has no interest in knowing about these military affairs.

After understanding the situation in the city, Han Qi asked Mu Qi to lie down to rest, and said to Liu Ji: "In this way, there is really no army in the city. When they occupy the southern gate, they immediately send a large army into the city. The princes and ministers who have taken the party items, and the rest of the places that have not been left will be easy to fight. ”

Liu Jidao: "The families of the generals of the defenders of Helan Mountain are mostly in the city. Occupy Xingqing Mansion, maybe they can surrender without a fight. ”

Han Qi nodded repeatedly: "That's right." If he can return to the imperial court, we will take the forgiveness, and the rest of the party soldiers will not defend it. The first battle to destroy the party did not expect it to end like this. After more than four months of fighting, in the end, it was like this, like a dream. ”

Liu Jidao: "That's true. In this battle, there has been no big war. I thought that it would always be more and more difficult in the future, but I didn't expect it to be easier and easier. Captain Baa Bu led the army out of the city, and this Xingqing Mansion was like a gift to us. I don't know if he will lead the army to surrender after occupying Xingqing Mansion. There are nearly 100,000 people in the Babu Department, and if it is not lowered, it will be troublesome. ”

Han Qi said with a smile: "Xingqing Mansion, if you don't surrender, where can you go?" Not to mention that we are not afraid of him in the field, even if we don't fight, his nearly 100,000 people have no food and grass, and they cannot hold on. led the troops out of the city, but he relied on the strong city in Xingqing Mansion, and his subordinates were unwilling to surrender. ”

After speaking, the two went out of the handsome tent together. At this time, the sun is rising, and ten thousand golden rays are sprinkled down from Helan Mountain, and a round of red sun lies on the top of the mountain. Xingqing Mansion is bathed in golden light, towering, tall and majestic. The Song army had already occupied the southern city gate, and the army was entering the city.

Han Qi stretched and said, "It's a good day." After months of hard work, we finally have today. ”

Remembering that ten years ago, I led the army in the northwest, fought with the party repeatedly, and lost consecutive battles, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. In fact, the party's army is still the army of the past, and it is still its own, but the soldiers under its command are not the soldiers of the past. In those years, when I fought against the party, I won a lot of skirmishes with one or two thousand people. But as long as the main force of more than 10,000 or 20,000 people fights, it will be defeated almost every time. Moreover, it was a loss of the army and humiliation of the generals, and the generals above the management of the army were killed or captured by the party, which is really embarrassing to think about.

Liu Ji pressed the knife on his waist and looked at the south gate of Xingqing Mansion with a serious expression. He trained with Du Zhongxiao in Suizhou for several years, made great contributions in Tanglong Town, and became the commander of the road. But later several battles on Hequ Road had nothing to do with him. This time, he defeated the party and occupied Xingqing Mansion, which can be regarded as making up for the wishes of the previous years. Several of the main generals who trained in Suizhou back then have become independent figures.

Xiang Qiang stood on the tower of the south city gate, looking at the continuous military camps outside the city, full of spirit. I didn't expect that one day, I would be the first to step into the capital of the party. Although it was just to receive it, it was a great achievement. In the future, no matter when you bring it up to someone, it will be a great event.

The Xingqing Mansion behind him has become a mess. Some families urgently packed up and prepared to flee. There are also disdainful people, who make trouble everywhere in groups, which is the most chaotic time.
