"The people of Shangyang suffer the most; the less is also bitter, and the old is also bitter. How about the less is bitter and the old is bitter"

As the source of the allusion of Bai Juyi's "Shangyang Baihairen", the famous cold palace and claustrophobic place in the previous dynasties has changed its appearance at this time.

Zhang Shuye stood expressionlessly on the Qibao Pavilion at the highest point of Shangyang Palace, using a large-scale mirror to look at the wilderness outside the city where fireworks were everywhere, and there were scenes of chasing, killing, fighting and fighting everywhere.

As the saying goes, it is a cruel hellish scenery of "wind, snow, swords, guns, arrows, and corpse mountains and sea of ​​blood". But his mood is not as calm as his expression.

As the old general who has been around for a long time, he would not recognize the origin of these felt hats and leather robes.

He even led the pursuit and seized some of the banners, as an accessory to Zhaoyaolubu. He called their chiefs and chiefs away with just one message, and knelt in awe on the mud in the tent, making various humble and surrendering gestures. He also represented the dynasty and personally told and comforted some of the existences.

But now, I can only stay in a corner of Luodu City, watching the capital of the capital, all of which turned into hunting grounds where these Hu horses galloped on the hunting grounds, without doing anything. The number of banners and banners was so numerous that it was dazzling and unpredictable.

Although the Southern Liang army, which was plundering in their hunting and raging, was undoubtedly the one who was the one who was incessantly attacking and plundering, these Southern army obviously lacked the experience and means of fighting against the Hu cavalry outside the Frontier. They were temporarily covered up and killed, and were in a hurry and defeated the army.

Even the tens of thousands of troops who were urgently drawn out of the city to fight and attempted to regain supplies and equipment outside the Shangdongmen failed to go far, and were exhausted by the means of running around and shooting. Even the supporters who were connected to the city were not sent out. Just as the friendly troops on the top of the city watched, they were quickly divided and surrounded and defeated in a blast. Fortunately, there were only a few people who returned.

Although the hostile camp was hit hard, which was undoubtedly a pleasant fact, Zhang Shuye was not happy at all.

But the existence of so many Huma'er itself also means another terrible fact, from Yunzhong, Hedong Road to Hebei Road, how uncontrollable the situation and ending are there.

At least it is conceivable how poison and ravage will be encountered in the areas where these hungry Hu Ma'er who are struggling and tortured in Hu Tian Feixue.

This may be a more terrible and tragic consequence than being captured by the Southern Dynasties. At least what the Southern Dynasties want is the title and righteousness of the unification of the world, and will not slaughter or plunder the occupied territory too much.

Although he had already been mentally prepared for the result of drawing out border troops to defend internally, the cruelty, reality and the worst result still made him, who was so determined, unable to help but be pessimistic and disappointed.

Even if the Southern Dynasties' military horses were killed in the future, there would be no idea where to deal with the beautiful rivers and mountains in the north. This would only be an ending without any winners.

Then he thought of the soldiers in the city who were in Hebei, but they were afraid that they would not be spared. They had already accounted for more than half of the defenders in the city. Once something was leaked, it was likely that the morale and fighting spirit would collapse. He had already made a secret decision in his heart. At least in a short period of time, similar news and guessing signs must be pressed down.

And in the northern capital of Luodu, the temporary camp at the east gate,.

"What's the matter with panic is just a few small frustrations"

Wang Song, the commander-in-chief who had just woken up from the dusk, looked pale and vigorously, facing the remaining military general under the tent.

"Even if we lose the trust outside the city, we still have at least 50,000 armored men in the city..."

"We also have the middle army and horses in the south of the city, which can serve as a support that is close to you..."

"There are still tens of thousands of soldiers far away in Wulao Pass, and you can send support."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause, but he remembered the army that was known as "the best in field combat and defense" and "invincible". If they encountered this situation, how should they keep themselves? They thought about it in their hearts but didn't know how it felt, so they continued to cheer up.

"The Shuaisi of Xuzhou will not let such a situation be ignored..."

"As long as we work together to deal with this difficult situation..."

"From this moment, we will do our best to gather the troops and merge them into five military orders..."

"All materials, armor and equipment are unified, and soldiers are searched for the required uses."

"I don't care what your reasons are. If you can't do it, just change someone to do it..."

"Only in this situation, there is no need for people who are shirking their responsibilities and fearing things..."

"The country has been raising scholars for many years, and now it is time for you to serve the people..."

After saying so many words in one breath, he couldn't help but cough violently, and he almost blew his breath because of these words. This made the generals who were finally a little excited about the military.

Then, someone suddenly remembered that the King of Kings's encouragement and powerful analysis from beginning to end, but there was no saying that if he could not take matters, who should take over the subsequent command order?

There is not even a basic hint or a statement. You should know that under normal circumstances, several people who are qualified to take over the command of the entire army are now all outside the city, and they are likely to fall into the enemy's power and have a life and death unknown. The generals who remained in the city are generally shorter in terms of the order and military rank.

This discovery cannot help but arise in their hearts other different thoughts and thoughts.

The attack at White Horse Temple also entered a certain kind of thrilling climax and critical moment.

As the senior prisoners who were shot in front of the formation seemed to have turned on some kind of crazy killing switch, those manic and furious Hu horses, driven by some inexplicable will and power, finally used their actual absolute number advantage to pile up the suppression order of gun strikes, and directly pushed the battle into the fierce hand-to-hand combat on the outer wall.

The casualties of the defenders also rose sharply. However, as the leader, Zhang Xian was not so nervous and even felt relieved. For him, attracting enemies who were ready to go was a kind of morale and a big threat in his heart.

After doing all your strength, those extra methods and calculations have no room for display. You just need to use all your strength to deal with the enemy in front of you.

A person like him who is usually low-key, calm, cautious, and flexible, has sufficient qualifications, and is willing to study new things more forcefully, the more he is forced by the situation, the more he can squeeze out relatively considerable potential and realize it in adversity.

In contrast, Zhao Liangsi, who is also a veteran in the army, can only serve as a deputy assistant.

Fortunately, they still have thousands of friendly troops in their custody. After a slight reorganization of the hunting cavalry, it is easy to select a group of brave men who "voluntarily" strengthened to the front and work with the soldiers to block the enemy's momentum, so that the relatively precious gunners and artillery teams can retreat slightly to the second line for a little replenishment and preparation, and continue to use gun weapons to cover and kill and injure the enemy.

In conjunction with the hunting cavalry, a local small-scale counter-shock was organized, and a multiple front of point-based support and elastic defense was rebuilt in the gust of enemy tide, which made the Hu Maer who lacked attacking equipment and means more difficult to advance inward.

It is a very reluctant thing to let these athletes who are used to gallop on horseback and do the move to cling to the tough battles. Therefore, when these fishy Hu Qi tribes once again left behind their bodies from the White Horse Temple and returned in vain.

Amid some cheers and inspiration, several huge and extremely large equipment were launched, but they were standard small crossbows. They were said to be small, which was actually compared to those large siege equipment that were several meters long. They also had the size of a large car. Judging from the familiar shape, it was obviously the trophy seized from the Shangqing Palace Camp.

"One, two, three, four, five"

Zhang Xianmo counted and issued another sniper order to the hunting soldiers. Before this, he deliberately kept his finger on the range for the key purpose of this moment.

With several faint and crisp sounds, the effect of this super-boundary shooting was unexpectedly good. The enemy soldiers operating the crossbow on the side suddenly burst out a bloody flower on their body, and the wrong hand was removed and deflected, and shot straight and very close to another crossbow on the side. Suddenly, fragments between the two crossbows splashed, knocking down the people around them, and then hitting the third crossbow in parallel.

It collapsed and rolled to the ground with huge inertia, and it would not be useful in a short time. However, the remaining two crossbows were still fired, and one of the three heavy arrows shot high and empty across the defenders' heads and hit the remains of the tower.

The other group unfortunately hit the upper end of the wall reinforced by the pile of soil. As the soil was splashed, a set of gun groups was overturned on the spot. Several gun soldiers were nailed to the ground with oblique nails.

Zhang Xian sighed. The most difficult time had arrived. He began to greet Zhao Liangsi, preparing to pay a certain price to launch a recoil to destroy these equipment.

Suddenly, they pricked their ears sideways, as if they heard something.

But it was the White Horse Temple camp, something that had been waiting for for a long time, a green flame arrow that roared into the air, and a few sounds of cannons.

At this moment, it seemed that even the wind and snow were shocked and stopped. Then both the offense and defense could feel the trembling of the snow-covered ground, and the vague horizon, large areas of people running and marching with their armor.

After discovering this incident, the Hu Maer, who was besieging, urgently sounded the horn of mobilization, and divided the cavalry out of the brigade to face each other in a mess, trying to quickly form a battle array.

But the first thing that came was more than a dozen scorching iron balls, which fell into the surrounding people and were immediately jumping and running, plowing out many twists and turns of flesh and blood.
