Chapter 995: The Frightened Gogur (Part II)
Fear comes from ignorance, and the Goguryeo people who can't understand it every time they think of the black and white shadows flying in the sky, can't sleep every night, hug their quilts in fear, hide themselves deep inside, and silently pray that there will not be too many such soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.
Both the guards and the soldiers were deeply frightened by the demonstrative deterrence of the Tang Dynasty during the day, and the people of Anshi City were even more hesitant, although there was a wartime curfew in the city, but they still could not stop them from contacting each other. Some people tend to jump through the courtyard wall to the neighbor's house, and several families get together to 'discuss' what happened during the day.
Of course, if they can have some insight and enlightenment, and can discuss something meaningful, maybe this kind of discussion is also a good choice. But in fact, these superstitious guys are not discussing in the real sense, but making a lot of incense and candles to worship the sky.
Incense candles, paper money, chickens, ducks and geese, and some things that are usually reluctant to eat are all put on the table, and several men in charge of the house gather together to recite words in their mouths, constantly reciting prayers that no one understands.
They were really frightened, those figures flying in the sky made them completely lose confidence in the city lord, after all, who could stop the heavenly soldiers? Those Tang Dynasty people who can even be invited by the heavenly soldiers and generals, they are so terrible, thinking of those rotten corpses with only bones left, and thinking that they will become like that after they die in the future, countless people of Goguryeo feel as if their hearts are clutched by an invisible hand.
The people were muttering in private, and the soldiers were talking while they were resting.
"Lao Zhang, you say...... Can we hold this city? Underneath the gate tower, two soldiers leaning together to keep warm talked in a whisper.
"If you can keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can't keep it, it's just a death." The man who was called Lao Zhang was a man in his thirties, and a scar swept across his forehead, making an otherwise ordinary face look very hideous.
"There's really no way around it? Won't Your Majesty send some more reinforcements? In the dark, there was a hint of immaturity in the voice that had just asked the question, and it didn't sound very old.
"Reinforcements?" Lao Zhang paused for a moment, and only said after a while: "There will be no reinforcements, the last time the 150,000 troops were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, who else dares to come again?" Moreover, His Majesty always has to leave some people to guard the imperial city, and they are all sent to our side, in case something happens, it will be difficult to deal with it. ”
"Then we're really dead, aren't we?"
"Sanwa, you will follow me when the fight really starts, when the time comes, we will fight for this life, and we will kill a few Tang people if we can, as for the ...... to live, don't count on it."
Similar conversations would ring out from time to time in the dark, and the shock that the Feifeng Army brought to these Goguryeo soldiers during the day was too great, making their original determination to defend the city begin to waver a little.
When facing a wolf, people may have the intention of fighting, but what if they are facing a lion? Or maybe it's a shark? Will there be desperate plans?
Therefore, the defenders of Anshi City are now left with despair in their hearts, and the idea that no matter how hard they try and how desperately they try, they can't stop Datang's progress at all spread in the hearts of everyone.
Soldiers, junior officers, mid-level officers...... Even all the way to the city guard of Anshi City and the city lord of Anshi City, everyone has a feeling that they will lose their lives at any time.
In the middle of the night, somewhere in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, Yu Rongchang's figure appeared in the courtyard and gently knocked on the door of the only room in the small courtyard that was still lit.
"Squeak......" There was a small soft sound, and the door was opened from the inside, revealing Yang Yuxin's delicate little face: "Ah, it turned out to be the city lord, please come in!" Young master, it's the city lord who is here. With a surprised expression on her face, Xiaoyu first brought Yu Rongchang into the house, and then called out to the night charm who was reading.
"Miss Xiaoyu doesn't have to be so polite, it's a little cold this weather, come over and see if you need anything here." Yu Rongchang greeted Yang Yuxin in a very low-key manner, and then walked into the house.
"The lord of the castle is gracious! On behalf of the young master, I thank you for your concern. "Yang Yuxin has been following Li Chengqian's side for a long time, and officials like the city lord of Anshi City can be said to have seen many in Chang'an City, but Goguryeo is called the city lord here, and the Tang Dynasty is called the assassin.
So I didn't really pay much attention to this old guy, and my gratitude was very perfunctory.
Yu Rongchang came to Ye Mei and Yang Yuxin's courtyard, naturally it would not really be to see if they needed anything, this kind of thing would be done by the housekeeper, and it would not be his turn to worry about it as a city lord at all. And the reason why he wants to come is mainly because he still has a concern in his heart that he can't let go, and he plans to come over to talk to the 'horse' son.
Although Yang Yuxin's answer was not very decent, he still smiled and pretended not to hear.
"Lord City Lord, our master and servant have been bothering here for many days, and if it weren't for the city lord to take them in, I'm afraid we would have already been living on the streets, so ......" Night Charm looked at Yu Rongchang who came in, and dealt with it hard, but halfway through the words, I really didn't know how to take it.
After all, Night Charm is just a killer, so it's not a big problem for her to sneak up on killing someone, but when it comes to some official entertainment, she is much worse.
But fortunately, Yu Rongchang didn't let Ye Mei finish her words, and just when Ye Mei didn't know how to continue, the old guy interrupted her with a smile: "Ma Gongzi is too modest, with Gongzi's ability, even if Yu is not there, this Liaodong land can be more than self-preservation." ”
Hypocrisy, really hypocrisy, Yang Yuxin secretly pouted in her heart, and took the opportunity of serving tea to give Ye Mei a look, signaling that she didn't have to be so polite to this old thing, just ask his purpose directly.
After receiving Yang Yuxin's prompt, Ye Mei nodded without a trace, and then asked Yu Rongchang: "City Lord Yu took time out of his busy schedule to come here, it must not be as simple as just seeing if we need it, right?" ”
"This ......" Yu Rongchang hesitated, took a deep breath, and then said: "Ma Gongzi, the so-called Ming people don't say secret words, this time Yu came here for the little girl Yinyin." ”
"Yinyin?" Night Charm's head turned into two in an instant, and it felt like her temples were faintly exploding.
Could it be that this old man is here to propose marriage to his daughter? Want to recruit yourself as his pension son-in-law? Or ......, thinking of Lao Yu's daughter's entanglement with her during this time, Night Charm felt bad all over.
