Jun Jiuling - Chapter 778
[Chapter 60]
When the sky was bright, there were loud footsteps on the street, and it seemed that someone was screaming and running.
Hearing this movement, a man in a house immediately lit a torch.
“Master.” A woman cried and took his arm.
This man was wearing an official robe with an official hat and a wat board in his waist. He was well-dressed, and his expression was incomparably majestic, as if he was doing Hajj.
But at this time, there were piles of firewood all around him, and in the circle surrounded by the firewood, besides him and the woman, there were four children, one boy and three girls, the oldest was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest were still wrapped in swaddling clothes. , At this time, the four children were also huddled together. The older one knew what was going to happen, his expression turned pale, and the younger two were still sucking their fingers, seeming to think it was a fun game and giggling.
“Master.” The woman knelt down and cried and couldn’t help herself. “The children are still young…are they really dead?”
“Madam, don’t be confused.” The man said solemnly, “The Jin people have been besieging the city for so long, and the losses have been huge. You don’t know the nature of the Jin people. I know very well. After they enter the city, they will definitely take revenge on the massacre, rather than being killed by them. To die, it is better for us to kill ourselves first, and we have to be decent.”
Stop here again.
“Even if the Jin people do not slaughter the city, as an official of the imperial court, I will never surrender to the Jin people, and would rather die for the country.”
He looked at the weeping woman.
“Huan Niang, the people of the lost city are not as good as pigs and dogs. Rather than being abused by the golden people, it is better to go clean and decent first.”
The woman wept and wiped away her tears.
“Yes, sir,” she cried. “We will go together as a family.”
She said that she had snatched the torch from the man’s hand and was about to throw it at the pyre, when the door was suddenly knocked open.
The man saw that he had dismissed several domestic servants.
“Master, master, you can’t burn, you can’t burn.” The servants stumbled in and rushed in, looking crazy, “The reinforcements are here, the reinforcements are here, and the golden man has retreated.”
The news was so shocking that the woman slipped the torch and fell to the ground.
Oil was poured on the pyre, dripping over, and there was a sudden bang of gas.
The woman screamed in fright, the man hurriedly stomped forward with three feet and two feet, and the domestic servants rushed over to help, causing chaos in the courtyard.
Fortunately, the fire was not too hot and was quickly stomped out. The man’s description was a bit embarrassing, but he didn’t care about his demeanor.
“Are reinforcements coming?” he asked anxiously.
The servants nodded excitedly.
“Come here last night, attacked the golden man while defending the city.”
“The golden men have all retreated to fight, and this morning the golden men have retreated and they have come.”
“The city gate is opening, and everyone is running to see it.”
The domestic servants were talking nonsense, making the man a little dizzy.
“Where did the reinforcements come from?” But it was an official, and he immediately asked the most crucial question.
“It’s the Qingshan Army.” The servants said in unison.
Hearing the Qingshan Army officials’ eyes lit up.
If it is the Qingshan Army, then the capital is really worry-free.
“How many people came?” he asked hastily.
Hearing this, the servants looked at each other.
“Looks like there are thousands,” they said.
How many thousands?
!
The official’s face darkened immediately.
There are tens of thousands of Jin soldiers.
What can these thousands of people do!
Even if the Jin soldiers are forced to retreat for a while, they will inevitably come again.
He sighed and looked at the pyre in the yard.
“Don’t withdraw, just wait and see,” he said.
At this time, most people in the city were not as far as the officials thought, and the threat of the city breaking made them almost desperate. At this time, the soldiers and horses came and retreated the golden soldiers. Even if it was only temporarily settled, they were willing to enjoy the ecstasy.
The front of the city gate was crowded with people who came, wanting to see the hero who rescued them from the sky.
It’s just that the hero in front of him seems to be a little different from what he imagined.
Looking at the pale and bloodless soldiers in front of them, their bodies trembling and their teeth chattering, the people didn’t know how to react for a while.
“The brave ones are probably tired…” A member of the public took the initiative to explain.
Yes, it must be very hard to fight in the middle of the night, and they all have injuries on their bodies, which shows that the battle is tragic and difficult.
The people nodded their heads.
“Golden soldiers retreat?” A soldier asked suddenly, looking at the people in front of him with a dazed expression.
Look, tired and confused, the people sighed in their hearts.
“Yes, you have already entered the city.” They said hurriedly, and just as they were about to say a few words of compliment and thanks, they saw a soldier burst into tears.
“It’s horrible,” he shouted.
The other soldiers also seemed to have exhausted their strength and sat on the ground crying.
“It’s terrible, it’s terrible,” they said repeatedly, hugging each other and crying.
The people were dumbfounded and didn’t know how to react.
“Yes, yes.” Some people were a little more clever and stammered, “It’s quite scary. Although the brave are not afraid of killing the enemy, they are still afraid.”
Yes, this is also true. The people nodded, although some were different from what they had imagined, but in the end it was these soldiers who saved them. Everyone comforted them, poured tea and water, and called the doctors to come and treat them.
The doctors did not rest, they were busy treating the wounded, and the dead were restrained.
The city walls are also being re-arranged. Horses are turned away from rolling wood and stones, and children are running around collecting bows and arrows.
The city gate was busy up and down, but it was completely different from the previous despair, and the atmosphere was as exciting as when the Jin Man was first confronted.
Ning Yan and others recruited the Qingshan Army generals to question them.
Li Guorui had already met the emperor once, but it was the first time he had met with so many court officials. Although the court officials in front of him were described as disheartened, it was difficult for him to see them in the past.
Li Guorui introduced himself excitedly and with a bit of pride.
“Master Li?” An official was slightly surprised and looked behind him, “Didn’t you say that Miss Zhao is in charge of the Qingshan Army?”
Li Guorui was a little discouraged.
Speaking of him, he was one of the top officers in the Qingshan Army, but in fact it was only because he was a man, and the real master of affairs was Miss Zhao, who could not arrange official positions.
Miss Zhao, she usually has the final say on anything, but he does everything from social events to documents and trivial matters.
But this also shows that Miss Zhao trusts him.
Li Guorui became proud again, automatically ignoring that he couldn’t do things he didn’t trust in the Qingshan Army.
“Miss Zhao has gone to see her family.” He said with a bit of solemnity, “Just ask me if you have anything.”
………
……….
“sister!”
Zhao Hanqing shouted loudly and jumped in front of Miss Jun.
Miss Jun raised her hand to caress her head, tidied up the scattered hair, and wiped the blood on her face. She did this carefully and earnestly without saying a word.
The smile on Zhao Hanqing’s face deepened.
Fang Jinxiu pouted, while King Huai couldn’t help but take a step forward and stick to the other side of Miss Jun.
“Miss Jun, is this Miss Zhao?” he asked.
Miss Jun retracted her hand and nodded to him with a smile.
“This is my sister, Zhao Hanqing,” she said.
Zhao Hanqing looked at King Huai, and King Huai also looked at her.
“Miss Zhao has worked hard.” Wang Huai said first.
Zhao Hanqing snorted and bowed his knees to King Huai. Although he did not speak, his posture was correct.
This is well taught by Mrs. Xiao, and well learned by history. Miss Jun looked at Zhao Hanqing with a smile. She is both civil and military, a child that any parent would be proud of and want to have.
Master Quanxia knows, he must be happy.
The atmosphere here is warm, while the atmosphere here is a little heavy for Li Guorui.
“So, most of the troops will not be able to catch up for the time being?” an official asked, looking nervous.
Li Guorui nodded without any concealment.
“The Jin man is temporarily retreating, and we took the opportunity to rush over.” He said, “The sentry found out that the Jin man has camped at Shimenpo.”
Shimenpo?
It’s not far from the capital.
Comeback anytime.
“What are you afraid of?” Ning Yan said, “We were able to defend the city before, but now there are more reinforcements, are you still afraid that they won’t succeed?”
Yes, what are you afraid of!
Come, let’s fight again.
The atmosphere in the official hall became heated.
The capital was in a state of preparation again, but after waiting for three or four days, there was no golden man coming. Only the sentries from both sides contacted and fought in the field a few times.
In the end is to attack or retreat?
“Of course it’s an attack.” Yu Chihai said numbly, “Although the Qingshan Army broke through, they were also severely damaged.”
A few golden generals in the camp looked hesitant, and still had lingering fears thinking of the tragic battle that night.
“Why haven’t our reinforcements arrived yet?” a Jin general said suddenly.
“It should be coming soon.” Another golden general said, “The Great Emperor has assembled an army of 100,000, and Qing Hebo of the North is fighting with an army of 50,000, and he will definitely not be able to stop it.”
This remark made several golden generals show joy.
“It’s better to wait…” they said.
Yu Chihai on the side smiled sarcastically and angry.
“If you wait any longer, you may not have a chance,” he said.
When his voice fell, he heard a bang, followed by the ground shaking, and there was a lot of noise outside.

“What happened?” the generals shouted and rushed out.
The golden soldiers in the camp were in chaos.
“Zhou Bing is calling.”
“It’s the Qingshan Army here.”
Did you come to attack camp?
However, thousands of soldiers and horses are nothing to be afraid of. General Jin is about to order to fight, but he sees a puff of smoke rising from the sky, and the ground shakes again.
“No, it’s the Qingshan Army with artillery carts here.” The golden soldiers shouted loudly, looking terrified.
The Qingshan Army with artillery vehicles!
The Jin generals turned pale immediately, and Yu Chihai stood outside the tent and closed his eyes.
“No chance,” he murmured.
…………
………….
Watching the rising fireworks and feeling the terrifying ground shaking, the people on the city wall cheered, and this time there was no more worry.
The 30,000-strong Qingshan Army gathered in the capital, and the Jinren army receded like a tide, and the news soon spread.
“It turned out that the siege was really relieved?”
The emperor of Taihu knew it for the first time.
Lu Yunqi replied yes.
“Yes, yes, the 40,000 gold soldiers were scattered and fled in confusion.” Yuan Bao added as always, showing that he knew more information.
The emperor smiled reassuringly.
“Not bad,” he said, frowning again, “Then, I have to rush back as soon as possible to appease the hearts of the people.”
The three people present knew what he meant.
What the emperor asked was, how to win people’s hearts and appease people’s hearts and go back?
“Your Majesty is holy.” Ning Yunzhao took a step forward and said with a sincere expression, “Your Majesty punished himself and the Emperor’s Mausoleum. Now that the Jin soldiers have retired, please return to the court as soon as possible.”
Self-punishing the Emperor Mausoleum, a good idea!
The emperor’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Ning Yunzhao with an approving smile.
On the side, Lu Yunqi glanced at Ning Yunzhao with a blank expression.
