Chapter Seventy-Six: Fengyang Earth Movement Six

Zhang Xuan rushed into the city gate in fear.

There were no enemies in the first urn city, and there seemed to be no rain of arrows or artillery bolts above the city. It's like no man's land.

Only the wolf soldiers who had fled into the city before, they either hid in the corners or fled, and none of them dared to turn back and fight.

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Maybe it's a bait." ”

But after breaking into the second city gate, Zhang Xuan could hardly believe his eyes.

The empty street in front of him seemed like an illusion to Zhang Xuan.

There is no second urn city, and there are no soldiers to block it.

In this way, the gates of the city were occupied.

"My lord, what are we going to do?" He Hutou said.

Zhang Xuan suddenly came to his senses, although he was ready for a fierce battle, but now that the progress exceeded expectations, he couldn't hesitate.

"Immediately occupy the gates of the city, order all the troops under the city, abandon the current enemy, and enter the city." Zhang Xuan said loudly.

Immediately, under his personal leadership, Zhang Xuan and He Hutou divided into two teams and broke into the city.

On the top of the city, although there are still some soldiers, they are all scattered by the guerrillas. Before the brigade, it was not worth mentioning at all, but after a while, the city was cleared.

It's just that the rain is pouring down, and the visibility is very low, even if Zhang Xuan is standing on the top of the city, he can only look beyond the moat, and he can't see it farther.

By this time, it seemed that the aftershocks had subsided.

Although Zhang Xuan still felt the things around him shaking from time to time, and in the city tower, dust was sprinkled on his head from time to time like rain, but the violent vibration that made people untenable just now was gone.

The earthquake is gone, but the rain is coming.

In such a heavy rain, Zhang Xuan also lost control over the army outside, although he sent many soldiers to report the news, but the situation was not under his own control.

After Deng He received Zhang Xuan's order, he didn't say a word, and immediately reorganized his men and horses to prepare to enter the city.

It's just that when the earthquake occurred, Deng He's troops were most entangled with the waves, and Zhang Xuan passed through Deng He's army, and many soldiers followed Zhang Xuan, and in the heavy rain, it was quite difficult to assemble soldiers, he just brought more than a thousand soldiers and followed into the city.

Wang Jincai scolded secretly, and he didn't dare not carry out Zhang Xuan's order, but first the earthquake, then the heavy rain, the team was not easy to control. Even if there are some people around them, not all of them, just more than a thousand of them, hundreds of them, one after another to the north gate.

Zhang Xuan counted and gathered about 3,000 people.

At this time, Zhang Xuan was relieved. secretly said in his heart: "With these 3,000 people, even if the official army counterattacks, I can stop it."

lived. ”

This time, Zhang Xuan firmly nailed a nail in the north gate of Fengyang, although there is still an imperial city in Fengyang City, but the fall is just around the corner, at most it will only be three or five days.

Zhang Xuan only felt happy.

As soon as Zhang Xuan relaxed, he felt the pain of the distance transmitted from his ankle to his brain.

That kind of pain almost cut off Zhang Xuan's entire foot, and although he couldn't find Lang Zhong for a while, he also found two old pawns to come over. These old soldiers can't do anything else, but this kind of bruise is not necessarily much worse than some famous doctors.

In a moment, I came to the conclusion that I needed to recuperate for a while.

Zhang Xuan just listened, how could he have time to cultivate at this critical time.

In the imperial city, Ma Shiying sat in a chair, and also thought of what Ma Luan thought of, and said secretly: "Isn't it the will of heaven?" ”

The impact of this earthquake on Ma Shiying was quite large.

He had to speculate on this.

If there is no earthquake, even if there is a defeat outside the city, it is possible to gather people and horses to defend the city, but now that the city is defeated, the thieves actually take advantage of the situation to attack the city. The inner city is lost, and this imperial city may not be able to hold on for much time.

The inner city of Fengyang and the imperial city, to some extent, were not originally used as city walls, there are reliefs outside the city wall, and the situation of the imperial city is more obvious, and the Forbidden City can be directly compared to the Forbidden City, although the Forbidden City is also a city wall, but the role of etiquette has to be played over the role of the military.

The Imperial City is not at all as strong as the Inner City.

If the inner city is not defended, it is estimated that the imperial city will not be able to hold it.

Ma Shiying didn't think about it, in fact, at the time of the earthquake, the rebel army outside the city was also in a state of chaos, just like he was able to entangle a group of men and horses at that time, and if he fought out, Zhang Xuan was afraid that he would also be defeated.

Ma Shiying tried to cover up this thought and asked, "Have all the people arrived?" ”

Previously, under Ma Luan's suggestion, the troops were divided into four gates for the purpose of suspicious soldiers, plus the normal guards in the city, there were many people and horses in the city, but they were quite scattered.

"The order has been sent to all the ministries." Yang Longwen smiled bitterly and said: "However, two or three thousand people have come, and the rest of the people seem to be waiting. ”

"Damn." Ma Shiying said angrily: "The country raises soldiers, and it is not enough in times of crisis, so what is the use? ”

Yang Longwen didn't know what to say.

This is not a matter of one day or two days, the heads of the various armies are bigger, even the superintendent cannot control it, and it is not just today. Except for Sun Chuanting, who can say that he can control the military leaders below, even Sun Chuanting may not be able to completely control it.

"My lord, without further ado, Fengyang City is no longer defensible." Yang Longwen said: "We are still one step ahead. ”

Ma Shiying has one

Some disheartened said: "Let's go, I have the responsibility to defend the land, and this Fengyang City is my place of death." ”

Ma Shiying is not really afraid of death, but he knows the character of the one in Beijing, and he has lost Fengyang City so much, even if he escapes back, he will have a dead end, and maybe he will also implicate his heirs, so it is really better to die here.

"My lord, Linhuai and General Zheng are here, let's go to Linhuai, gather General Huang, and when the army gathers, there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions, and the people of Donglin have always hated adults because of Ruan Gong, even if they die here, can they save their reputation?" Yang Longwen said: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the eldest prince and the Ma family in Guiyang." ”

When Ma Shiying heard this, his death intent suddenly dissipated a lot.

Ma Shiyingzu was the hereditary commander of Guiyang, although after the collapse of the guard system, the commander of Guiyang was just a false name, but when he arrived in Ma Shiying's area, he had already transformed into a civil official family, and Ma Shiying was not the only one who was an official in the family.

However, Ma Shiying's official rank is higher.

Indeed, this is the case, Ma Shiying no longer thinks about his life and death, but the interests of his family.

It's like he died here to leave a good name. For the benefit of the family, he died, but he thought about the grievances between him and Donglin. He couldn't help but sigh, the clear stream was controlled by Donglin, and he wanted to ask for a good reputation, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In fact, Ma Shiying and Donglin's grievances are not deep, and their grievances come from Ruan Dacheng. Ruan Dacheng was originally from Donglin, and later took refuge in Wei Zhongxian. was beaten into the eunuch party, after Chongzhen came to power, he was greatly suppressed, Ruan Dacheng supported Zhou Yanru as the prime minister, and wanted to seek revenge, but Donglin refused, so Ruan Dacheng led Ma Shiying to replace himself.

Ma Shiying relied on Ruan Dacheng's way to occupy a high position, in Donglin's view, it is Ruan Dacheng's raccoon dog, Ruan Dacheng is a eunuch, and Ma Shiying is naturally a eunuch. It's not a-for-tat confrontation with each other, but it's definitely not friendly either.

Ma Shiying also knows his own situation, he made mistakes again and again, and he fell into Zhongdu, this crime is quite big, even if he dies, it is difficult to get rid of it, coupled with the fall of the Donglin Party, I am afraid that dying in Fengyang is not much different from the result of being questioned by the imperial court.

"Maybe the imperial court can't support it for that long." A thought popped up in Ma Shiying's heart.

Donglin people are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and they may not understand the situation, Ma Shiying, as the supervisor who fought on the front line of the righteous army, he can get a lot of things, he would not have thought like this before, after all, the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty are not fake.

But as soon as the earthquake came today, he had some associations, and combined with various circumstances, he couldn't help but come to a conclusion that the Ming Dynasty might be in danger.

As soon as he thought about this clearly, Ma Shiying didn't want to die.
