Devil’s Advent

Chapter 579: Rivers and Lakes (Part 1)

The imperial capital of a country is often the epitome of the country. The so-called political, economic, and cultural centers in this era, if nothing unexpected happens, start from the imperial capital and spread out in all directions, showing a decreasing trend.

The romance and feelings belonging to the Chu people have reached their peak here.

The word romance does not simply refer to the love between men and women. To be precise, it is just a very small branch of romance.

Just as Chu people like to go retrograde in the wind, and the long hair deliberately left on the temples blows away with the wind, the romance that Chu people love is actually a free and unrestrained attitude towards life and life.

This is not the patent of the nobility,

Only aristocrats, can play the most fancy;

In Meng Shou's works, the glorious and great Chu, the eight-hundred-year-old country and country, under the romance he loves, what nourishes is actually the morale of the people that is hidden under the foundation on weekdays.

Dagan founded the country for more than a hundred years,

When Uncle Zheng went south to attack Gan,

Didn’t you also meet the commander of the general fort who opened the red curtain but still had to walk up to the beacon tower?

Didn't I also meet the old man who went upstream with a gun and his son who could have survived but still shot that arrow;

The army and armaments of Daqian performed very badly in that year, but there were still enough shining points. Some people were willing to dedicate their brilliance to this country that gave birth to themselves.

Da Chu, eight hundred years, how could this be missing?

Don't say that Da Chu is under the nobles, and they are all slaves; while the Dagan, the scholar-bureaucrat class, is prosperous.

to be honest,

It's nothing more than a meat eater changing his name, changing clothes of different colors, doing the same thing as sucking human blood to fatten himself.

The first arrival of the Yan army,

Yingdu shook.

The high-ranking dignitaries were keenly aware of something wrong. The Great Chu Fengchao Internal Guard, who was almost able to compete with the Silver Armor Guard of Qian State, failed to pass this military news back to their capital in advance;

For a moment, they vaguely guessed something, pursed their lips, and found that it was full of bitterness;

The middle-level dignitaries immediately started to run. Whether to run or stay, how to run and how to stay, they had to negotiate a charter quickly.

The dignitaries at the bottom immediately started to contact the dignitaries at the upper level who they usually fawn over, hoping to show them a way, no matter what they do, let's take along with them.

Thanks to the Yan army coming too fast, all the operations of the Great Chu Center are still in place, and it maintains its own inertia.

For example, when several small noble officials from the next department in the Beijing Yamen were discussing in the signing room of their own department that they wanted to move closer to the big nobleman,

A small official under the secretary actually came in and posted on the wall of the study room the issues that had to be discussed today:

Should the sweet-scented osmanthus tree on Mingfengmen's road to the north be cut down?

Several nobles and masters, you look at me, I look at you,

When disaster strikes,

They were actually thinking,

In the end, run away with the family and the family first,

Or do you want to cut down the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and come up with a preliminary regulation?

It can only be said that everyone subconsciously lacks the correct reaction when the enemy soldiers approach the city;

In this regard, Chu people really need to learn from Gan people.

Since the defeat of Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom in the Northern Expedition a hundred years ago, several generations of Qian people have always had a nightmare of the Yan army's cavalry going south from time to time. Moreover, Li Fusheng's troops leaped over the Bianhe River a few years ago, and let the Qian people review on the spot over again;

And Chu people are really inexperienced.

Unlike officials and nobles who are long-term or short-sighted or panic or strong and calm,

Yingdu,

The "river and lake" in the imperial capital of Chu,

It shows the heroism and free and easy that belong to the people of the rivers and lakes.

You could say they're simple-minded,

Because the mind is simple and can't be put on the table, it is often the unanimous impression of the world in the temple;

But when the army of the enemy country has already arrived outside your capital, if you think about it in the long run, it seems that you are really sick in your head.

Where there are many people, there must be rivers and lakes.

Rivers and lakes behave differently in every place.

It is not a place name,

More often than not, it's actually a habit.

People in the Jianghu have the rules of the Jianghu, and those who follow the rules of the Jianghu are often Jianghu people.

in rivers and lakes,

Some people like to set up sects in remote places;

Why remote places?

Because in a densely populated place, there is the largest sect called "Imperial Court".

But there are also people who like to establish their own inheritance in densely populated places. Such people usually have their own semi-official status.

Yao Zizhan once said that the so-called rivers and lakes are nothing more than mixing together black, white, red, and various colors. Jianghu is actually a paste.

But when you eat it, you can't escape the word crisp.

"Bang!"

The door of the Majiadao restaurant was opened from the inside.

Ma Laowu came out carrying his Ma family serial knife, and behind him were his disciples.

Looking at the panic-stricken people in front of him,

Ma Laowu laughed,

The master smiled,

The disciples behind him also laughed together.

People have to find some sense of existence at some point.

For example, the student who likes to make trouble the most in the dormitory often does amazing and weird things to make his classmates laugh. Even if he is hit by the master with a ruler, he is still sweet in his heart.

We are all born as human beings, so we have to find something different for ourselves.

as now,

You rush about in haste,

and we,

But I'm going to go upstream to find that Yangou desperately!

The more flustered the neighbors and local people are, the more they can look like we are a cow now, aren't we?

The Ma Family Knife House has been passed down for five generations. The reason why it can have its own inheritance at the foot of the emperor in Yingdu, with three hundred disciples who started the sword house, and thousands of registered disciples from all over the world, is because the Ma Family Sword has a tradition of serving in the army in all generations.

The knives and axes of the Imperial Guards of Great Chu actually practiced the improved routine of the Ma family sword.

Of course,

It's not that the Ma family gave the sword manual to the imperial court,

It's because the one who founded the Majiadao was born as a centurion in the Chu army in his early years.

Since then, less than half of the successors of the Majiadao in the past have joined the army.

it's tradition,

It is also the foundation of standing.

Ma Laowu brought his disciples to Qianjie, where there was an archway with three characters on it:

Bergamot Cui!

This street is also called Bergamot Street.

One year ago, the Emperor of Chu went out for a tour in Yingdu, and encountered assassins while driving. After leading the crowd to defeat the assassins, a bodyguard surnamed Cui chased them out alone. Three days later, he brought back the heads of the three assassin leaders.

The emperor of Chu asked him what reward he wanted, and he said that he wanted to pass on what he had learned in his life.

Because this guard was good at bergamot, which is a kind of palm technique, after returning to the palace, Emperor Chu's imperial pen named a "Buddha's hand street" in Yingdu, allowing him to open the door and establish a sect.

In this generation, the head of Buddha's hand is also a descendant of that one, and people in the world call him Cui Buddha's hand.

Because the Ma's Knife Shop is also on this street, and they are all Jianghu sects, so there is some disagreement between them.

Majiadao restaurant?

where?

At the end of Bergamot Street!

shame!

shame!

Ma Laowu roared:

"Is the Buddha paying respects to the Buddha?"

"hehe."

A laugh came from the side of the street.

Cui Buddha, who was tall and tall, wore a string of beads around his neck and a string of Bodhi in his hand, leading a group of disciples out.

"I still want to wait and see, to see if you still dare to show this knife to Yangou, yes, but I didn't let someone take it lightly."

"Pooh!"

Ma Laowu spat heavily on the ground,

shouted;

"Blind your dog's eyes, did my Majiadao get scared? What's wrong with his Yangou? No matter how powerful his Yangou is, is it possible that he can continue to be alive and kicking after eating my knife?"

"That's not the case, the Yan people also have sabers."

Yan people's saber is a style of knife;

The sword of Majiadao is the sword technique.

"Mother, the surname is Cui, don't look down on others, let's compete later, if I cut off more Yangou heads, this street will be renamed Majia Street in the future!"

"Hehe, then am I at a loss?"

"Still arguing, the Forbidden Army outside the city has been defeated, and Yangou is about to come in!"

At this time, a man in Taoist robes and holding a long sword spoke, and behind him, followed by a group of people from all corners of the country with various weapons in their hands and different clothes.

In fact, they are not people from the Jianghu, they are members of the Cao Gang, and the Taoist priest at the head is not pure-minded. His surname is Chen, and he is called Chen Lianhua.

In charge of the wharf from Yingdu to Mijiang, there are many people of various teachings and ranks under him.

On weekdays, he also does some human trafficking work, and also lends loan sharks, forcing many people to die, and even helps some dignitaries to do things that they feel dirty, so as to obtain asylum from above.

His swordsmanship is superb, and he was a fifth-rank swordsman when he wandered around Yingdu Wharf in the early years. He has made fewer shots in recent years, but his swordsmanship should be more refined.

Chen Lianhua's character and reputation are very bad, but at this time, he can call his brothers from the Cao Gang to come and prepare to help the officers and soldiers fight Yangou, at least, it is not a loss in righteousness.

Ma Laowu and Cui Foshou stopped talking, and led their disciples to the north gate together. During this period, many other knights joined in, and the team size suddenly expanded to a thousand or five.

Yingdu is large enough, has a large enough population, and has enough pond water to raise fish.

It's just that when this group of people came to the south gate, they happened to see the Chu army retreating into the city, followed by the Yan army. Instead of rushing in, they chose to take the first step to control the gate tower.

"Straight mother thief, kill, kill back!"

Ma Laowu roared.

But it was useless, the rout soldiers were only focused on running into the city, and couldn't gather at all.

In fact, half of the Chu army that broke up outside the gate of Yingdu City had a bright mind and didn't even think about running into the city, but broke up outside the city on the spot.

Because they knew in their hearts that they were the last line of defense in Yingdu, and they collapsed. Even if they retreated to Yingdu, who could they expect to protect them?

Therefore, the defeated troops who fled into the city at this moment are basically stupid.

The Yan army came in along the back route of the defeated army and had already occupied the city gate. Ma Laowu led a group of people from the rivers and lakes to rush up, but was blocked by the crossbow arrows of the Yan people.

After all, people in the Jianghu are not a regular army. First, they don't cooperate, second, they don't have bows and crossbows, third, they don't have armor, and fourth, they don't have shields.

At the same time, with more and more Yan troops occupying the gate tower, although they did not choose to rush in all at once, but looking at the increasingly dense black armor on both sides of the gate tower, whether it is Ma Laowu, Cui Buddha's hand or It was Chen Lianhua who gave up the idea of ​​rushing forward and forcibly taking back the city gate with her own strength.

They can break in, but after breaking in, the people behind may not be able to keep up at all, and the end waiting for them is to be trapped and killed among the Yan army.

Just at this time, a middle-aged man in a blue official robe rode over, and behind him was the yamen servant of the patrolling department.

Every country has the position of City Patrol Secretary. In fact, it is equivalent to a local security team, similar to the police station of later generations.

"I, Qin Hai, Lieutenant Officer of the City Patrol Department, please calm down, heroes. My lord has already gone to collect the defeated army. Wait for a while, and I will send troops out together to capture this city gate!"

Qin Hai's Shangguan is Zhaoyuelin, and the Shangfeng Yamen of the City Patrol Division is actually the Ministry of War, and Zhaoyuelin happens to be in charge of this area.

After seeing Yangou coming from the Star Observation Building,

Mrs. Jing immediately went back to Mrs. Jing's mansion in Beijing to find her ancestors.

Zhao Yuelin immediately organized a manpower to support the fight between the Forbidden Army and the Yan people ahead,

However, even Zhao Yuelin didn't expect that the Chu army in front couldn't wait to flee before his support was organized.

But no matter what, you have to do something, right?

Seeing this, Ma Laowu, Cui Foshou and Chen Lianhua could only nod in agreement.

This is actually a very ironic scene.

It doesn't specifically refer to Cui Foshou and others from the rivers and lakes, as well as Qin Hai, the Dianwei officer of the City Patrol Division,

It also refers to the Yan army outside the city.

After easily defeating the Chu army, the Yan army did not enter the city quickly, but just took advantage of the situation to seize the door.

Normally,

Even if you are a young man on the battlefield who can only talk about wars on paper as the coach of the Yan army, you should understand the principle of pursuing victory.

They have already reached the gate of the enemy's capital,

Unless the head of the enemy's monarch and ministers is flooded,

Otherwise, he would never play any fraudulent defeat at the gate of his capital.

It's equivalent to pawning your underpants, why are you still pretending to be a handsome young man here?

But Yan Jun maintained a strong restraint at this time,

Facing this capital that was almost completely open to them,

These wolves-like soldiers of Yandi could only stare and swallow their saliva, but they couldn't go in.

It was a torment, a real torment.

However, the soldiers and civilians of Chu State in the city continued to wait while facing the knife rest on their necks. This was actually a kind of torment.

Everyone is suffering,

I even hope that this knife can be sharper, and more sharp!

But the one with the knife,

But there has been no order to enter the city.

Inside and outside the imperial city, with so many soldiers and so many people, they can only be anxious because of that person's will.

...

King Jingnan did not give the order to enter the city, even though the city gate was already in hand.

He rode Pixiu and came to his Chinese army.

King Jingnan was the commander of the Chu army;

But everyone in the world knows that the Jingnan Army is the true direct descendant of King Jingnan. King Jingnan took over this army more than ten years ago, and any school lieutenant was personally assessed and promoted by him.

In the Jingnan Army, there was a force of about 10,000 soldiers. During the war, they basically served as the unshakable army closest to King Jingnan's banner.

The Jingnan army is proud of being able to enter there. Although they charge first every time and suffer the most casualties, they are the closest to their prince when they charge.

King Jingnan's gaze swept over the knight in front of him.

"Those who have wives and children at home, come out!"

Some soldiers rode out on horseback.

"The only child in the family, come out!"

Some soldiers rode out on horseback.

"If a father and son are both in the army, the son will go out; if brothers are in the army, the younger brother will go out.

Those who go out stay outside the city,

Those who are not listed get on the horse and listen to my name, and follow the king to enter the city! "

at last,

A total of 3,000 knights were able to follow King Jingnan into the city.

The rest of the knights wanted to go, as long as they could accompany their lord, they were willing to die.

However, the Jingnan Army puts the most emphasis on military discipline and discipline, so the scene of crying and fighting for the ground and I also want to go together did not appear here.

Tian Wujing rides Pixiu,

wrist,

With a slight wave forward,

Three thousand knights lined up and began to rush into the city gate.

The long-delayed Yan army entered the city,

here we go!

………

Zhao Yuelin finally gathered a defeated army, and also brought in a group of soldiers from another yamen.

And this group of Jianghu people who belonged to Yingdu were not idle during this period of time.

The blood faded, and two or three hundred people sneaked away. Well, there was no way to do it, but most of them were still kept, and the door panels on the nearby street were dismantled, intending to make temporary shields.

The yamen servants and soldiers in the rear took out some bows and crossbows,

Anyway,

This impromptu counterattack team took shape under the premise that the Yan people were deliberately slow and did not rush into the city immediately.

Zhaoyue Lin didn't know what he was busy with, because he knew clearly that after the imperial army broke up outside the city, unless the magic soldiers fell from the sky, the huge Yingdu City was actually completely open in the eyes of Yan people, that is, Yan There was a plate of food in front of the people, but Yan people seemed to be too hot for something, so they were not in a hurry to move their chopsticks.

But Zhao Yuelin still thinks that he should do something.

He was too lazy to participate in the conspiracy among the nobles, even if he was one of the nobles himself.

He was riding a horse, surrounded by Qin Hai, holding a knife,

shouted:

"I, together with you, will kill Yangou!"

Thousands of mobs gathered at the south gate, including yamen servants, soldiers, defeated troops, and people from Jianghu sects, immediately raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

then,

They started marching towards the south gate again.

The crossbows and crossbows of the Yan army are ready on the gate tower and the city wall, and the troops below are also ready.

to be honest,

The Great Yan Jingnan Army, which is almost invincible in the world, really doesn't pay attention to the mob in front of them.

And at this moment,

The dull sound of hoofbeats came,

The soldiers of the Yan army who had been in formation at the gate of the city immediately retreated.

A tall figure in gilt armor riding a Pixiu slowly drove out from the gate of the city,

behind him,

Two flag bearers rode their horses to carry the flag,

one side,

It is the Dayan Black Dragon Banner,

one side,

It is the banner of King Jingnan.

for a while,

The mighty Great Chu Rebel Army, which had been aroused by Zhaoyue Forest before,

Haven't really fought yet,

In an instant, most of it collapsed.

In the country of Yan,

Because King Jingnan once destroyed all his families, the folk reputation was not good.

Often used by Yandi parents to frighten disobedient children:

"Cry again, make trouble again, let Lord Nanhou eat you up!"

As everyone knows,

Outside of Yan Kingdom,

The name of King Jingnan,

Enough to distract the enemy.
