Suspect in Jinling

Land, if the west part of the city is penetrated, then the entire Jinling City will be finished, and the 50 troops will never have time to return to the defense outside the Tongji Gate, and the [-] people in the city will be like fish on an anvil. Yes, in an instant, there will be no pure land on the ground, and there will be no complete tiles on the house!

But Marquis Fengcheng was very firm.He used his strong strategic determination to overcome all opinions, and entrusted him with important city defense tasks as if he was going to use Sha Xiangyue.

At the beginning of Yinshi, the combat meeting began, and at the beginning of Chenshi, when the meeting ended, the bright and strong orange light and shadow of the morning sun just passed the window lattice and shone on the square and tense chin of the old man. The old man in his 60s was dealing with Jinling City all night Even with tedious official duties, talking to them after a night of hard work is still full of energy.

Facing the doubts from other officials, Marquis Fengcheng looked at Sha Xiangyue, without any explanation, but said in a dignified manner: "If something goes wrong, I will take the responsibility."

There are lovers, and then there are thousands of miles.

Blood flowed from Sha Xiangyue's ears——

Finally, he was the only one left in the gap in the city wall.

But he alone is better than a team of armed forces.

The blood-stained young man held a knife in both hands, and with a flash of cold light, a bloody flower passed by!The jade wrench was forced on the handle of the knife, and the jade that had been rubbing against the hot iron gun all night suddenly dinged, and as soon as he let go of his thumb, the jade piece suddenly shattered and scattered among the rubble——

He was not the only one appointed by the old man that day.

Reddish-brown carved beams, red-grass-colored tablecloths, yellow-dandelion curtains, the windows in the garrison yamen are bright and clean, and when the light shines in, the people in the meeting room stand very tightly, and all of them are covered with sandalwood shadows: many of these people did not enter the high-level meeting. Before them, there were more than a dozen officers with more seniority than them, but the Marquis of Fengcheng chose them, and asked his soldiers to wake up these unknown generals from their homes, and directly put their official titles in the command room. Jumped up three levels.

Sha Xiangyue has seen it, they all have a characteristic, they all had a short-lived upswing in the blue sky more than ten years ago, and then fell into a long-term depression, and they were entrusted with important tasks at this time. They were also puzzled, but Marquis Fengcheng was very firm and said to them: "Go, go to your respective posts. What I want is not to follow the steps."

The old man said in a low voice and forcefully: "What I want is to turn the tide."

If you ask Sha Xiangyue when she made up her mind to help the Jinling government, it must be this moment.

The old man was no longer young, his hair was all white, but years of pampering and pampering did not take away his spirit and strength, the red light of the morning sun shone on him, and his gestures still had a sense of heroism.

It was this old man who gave himself indispensable support for those who sternly condemned those who were cowardly, and for those who disturbed the morale of the army. , leading these juniors to charge forward, when the whole city should have been in great confusion and precarious, he forcefully dragged the falling momentum of the city, and resolutely lifted the whole city up.

He said, to attack, don't miss the opportunity to fight, let alone be passively beaten.

He said that we have enough food to last for a year or so, but morale and popular support cannot last for a year or so.

He said that Jinling City will not surrender, nor will it fail, and he will lead everyone to fight until the last moment.

He said that if Jinling fell, my Gongmen should die in the line of duty, and die in battle under the Tongji sect.

The old man woke up the city, and 11 years after Wang Zhen came to power, he kneaded the forces of Jinling City who were doing their own things together,

The several generals of the front army he selected, each of them was humble and light-hearted before August [-], but after they entered the meeting room and heard the appointment, none of them had any hesitation. The burden that many people dare not take is directly placed on their own shoulders.He transferred Kuang Jian out of the city to investigate raids and disturbances, and Bing Masi to guard around the city wall. He pointed out which general can fight a small battle, which general can be the vanguard, and which general must be suppressed. The position was handed over to Kuang Jian, not the more impulsive and brave young general. He said that Xiao Kuang, the headhunter, would break through the front line. Everyone would delay it for a while, but he would not delay it. He let himself guard the west of the city , then patted himself on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "I know you won't back down."

Wang Zhen ruled the government for 11 years.For many people of this generation, from the beginning of their memories, they saw the imperial court dominated by powerful eunuchs, and what they saw was the filthy court hall, but these people in front of them, from the Marquis of Fengcheng to the low-level generals, they have neither For the sake of power and wealth, they are lucky to join forces with others, and have they done evil or heretics? They stick to their positions in obscurity, grope and persist in the dark silently, preferring to be silent, and never bow their knees.

They have almost similar experiences to Kuang Jian, and they have similar resolute faces. Once the country is in crisis, they will stand up without hesitation, cut off all back roads without complaint or regret, and serve the country with their own bodies. The torrent of history engulfs this A generation of people leads a life of ups and downs, pushing them to the brink of imminent national subjugation, and giving them the mission to get out of the desperate situation.

They are doomed to bear the fate of the country.

They are destined to save the country.

In the 14th year of orthodoxy, under the city of Jinling, the situation has changed.

The thunderous sound of horseshoes broke through the blockade under the Tongji Gate, and rushed towards the west of the city as if rushing into the sea——

Outside the city wall in the west of the city, the [-] defenders composed of civil warriors and Gongmen guards stubbornly held on to the gate for three hours. The Japanese army aimed the last seven-foot-wide iron cannon at the person standing on the city wall, and it exploded!

The sun is like blood.

The weeping wind whimpered low and low, like a thin thread in the wind, affecting the morning sun until it floated to the ground...

The sound of horseshoes came from afar, but no one in the west of the city could greet them with thunderous cheers. The sound of war drums in the gust of wind and rain was on the endless battlefield, and the anger tore apart the enemy from behind!The Japanese army in the west of the city was suddenly attacked by the enemy after attacking the city overnight, and fell apart in an instant!

The sticky land, the endless battlefield, the fighting sound of the whole battlefield gradually subsided, only the crackling sound of the burning fortifications remained, and the long-lasting black smoke was scattered all the way to the sky.The whole city was not broken in the end, but the high city walls had collapsed into three long slopes, which showed how fierce the artillery fire was all night last night and how difficult it was to defend the city.

Zhu Shifu was so desperate that he clutched his stomach and sat paralyzed in a piece of collapsed wooden corrugated gravel. Although he was injured, he was in good spirits. He heard a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and when he looked around, his eyes immediately burst into light!

"Captain Kuang!"

After fighting all night, his knees were so weak that he could only fall to the ground, but he couldn't restrain his excitement when he saw the reinforcements attacking.

The wind is blowing.The piles on the city wall were destroyed, and all the trees were burnt bare. Kuang Jian wore a battle suit around his waist, and the armor was covered with dust. He ran very fast, panting heavily, and the blood on the spear fell drop by drop on the scorched ink. On the soil, seeing a living defender, he immediately asked where their commander was. Zhu Shi knew who he was looking for, and quickly pointed him in a direction. gallop away——

"Xiangyue! Kill Xiangyue—!"

The call shattered the misty and chaotic tranquility of the dawn in an instant. The black horse galloped along the long city wall, and the horseshoe stepped on the sticky soil. Kuang Jian looked up and screamed loudly!The sound echoed layer by layer, passing through the shattered city wall, through the rough traces of fire and blood on the wall, winding as if until the end of the world——

In the rubble of the Japanese pirates' last artillery bombardment, a person who was completely buried in it suddenly moved. There was not a single complete brick in the city wall here. Huishi stood up unsteadily——

The morning light shone on his distressed body——

It's just that Sha Xiangyue didn't know that Kuang Jian's call woke him up, and it also woke up a child.

A black holed handgun was picked up in his hand and aimed steadily at him——

Sha Xiangyue walked to the edge of the city wall step by step. When he dodged just now, the masonry under his knees shattered, and the fragments of the masonry pierced in, but he still walked to the edge of the city wall step by step, and shouted to the bottom , "This... here!" The voice was hoarse and broken, and it was not until the second sentence that he reluctantly shouted, "Kuang Jian—here—!"

On the city wall, the child's expression froze, as if he couldn't believe that the other person was this person, and his hands trembled uncontrollably——

Under the city wall, Kuang Jian felt something in her heart, and immediately turned around——

In the faint light blue dawn, that dark purple familiar figure stood in the sky, as high as if it touched the zenith, the wall where he stood had been blown flat, and there were still forty feet under his feet The tall ruins and black smoke, standing alone on the edge of the city wall, beautiful and far away in the long wind——

Kuang Jian laughed as if relieved from a heavy burden, and immediately patted his horse and galloped over——

The brisk and joyful sound of horseshoes approached quickly, and the child stood right behind Sha Xiangyue, holding the short blunderbuss that had begun to dampen in both hands, shaking his hands, and slowly exerting force towards the trigger——

This shot, he must hit him.

With this shot, he was destined to fall off the city wall and die!

With a bang——

In the quiet morning, a sharp gunshot!While galloping, Kuang Jian was shocked suddenly, and cold sweat rushed out of his pores suddenly!

On the city wall, Sha Xiangyue turned her head in puzzlement. She didn't know who fired a shot into the void, but he looked around and couldn't find the shooter. The city wall on the other side had also collapsed. There was only a small round figure, staggering and slowly supporting the stone, and walking down the broken stone steps.

Sha Xiangyue looked at it thoughtfully for a while, but didn't take the gunshot to heart. She turned her head and waved her hand to Kuang Jian who was already startled under the wall, showing a little light, heartfelt, The smile of the survivors.

At that moment, inside and outside the city, the sun rose high.
