Dream Hua Embers Records

5. The beacon fire shines on the front hall all night

Zhu'er stared at the past, where the eyes were concentrated, everything around her was blurred, and the words on the emperor's list became clear, as if those eyes were a pair of arrows, which shot directly in front of the emperor's board and froze in mid-air.

The imperial list looked half-dried, as if it had just been posted, and the content was to mobilize the people to report those who spread rumors, and once verified, they would be executed and rewarded heavily.

Those people around in front of the imperial list were pointing and whispering, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

Zhu'er secretly sneered in her heart, she had clairvoyant eyes but no good ears, she wondered what these common people would think and say when they saw such an imperial list.Is it greedy for rewards and active reporting?Or keep quiet and keep your mouth shut about state affairs?Zhu Er couldn't figure it out, she didn't know whether posting such a reward at this time would extinguish the rumors or cause even greater turmoil. There are too good effects.

"Miss, what have you seen, tell me." Zi Xiao stood on tiptoe and looked around, but couldn't see anything clearly.

Zhu'er laughed and said, "Your eyesight is bad, so what's the use of standing on tiptoe?"

"It's useless, but it just happened before I knew it." Zi Xiao also laughed.

"It's nothing, it's just that the emperor posted the imperial list to let the people report the rumormongers..." Zhu'er said, pointing to the Nanxun Gate, she suddenly raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw black smoke behind the Longmen Gate on the north wall Soaring into the sky, among the noisy and low-pitched noise, a burst of noise suddenly mixed in, sharp, dull, eager... From time to time, there were muffled explosions, which seemed to be accompanied by slight earthquakes.Looking at the past, there are also fireworks rising from the Xisong Gate and Qingcao Gate on the east wall.

"Miss..." Zi Xiao also saw it, and her body involuntarily leaned over, trembling slightly.

Zhu'er looked around the market, and saw that the people on the street had obviously seen the fireworks, and they all stopped suddenly, only looking up at the place where the smoke burst out of the fire.It was as if an invisible hand had stopped time, turning the entire Daliang City into stone statues, maintaining the posture of the previous moment, motionless.That scene was terrifyingly weird.Looking back at Gen Yuan, I saw that people came out of various palaces one after another, and they were also looking around. Many people had already walked towards the foot of Long Live Mountain.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering drum sounded.Like thunder.

The sound of the drum was like the hands that unraveled the spell. Hearing the sound of the drum, the people in the market made a loud noise and hurriedly ran away.I saw a group of people running from west to east, colliding with another group of people running from east to west, hesitated for a moment, then followed that group and turned around and ran again.I don't know the purpose, I don't know the direction, I just run blindly like a swarm of headless flies.

They don't go home, maybe because their home can no longer give them a safe place to rely on, and they don't know who can protect them, they just blindly hang out with other people, it seems that this is how they feel safe.In the end, they flocked to Nanxun's gate. The king is the father, and the people are the sons. It seems that only the emperor's list with the seal can make them feel the protection of the father.Gradually, in front of Nanxun Gate, the inner three floors and the outer three floors were filled with people.

Startled by this sight, Pearl opened her mouth half-opened, and just stared blankly.

"Miss..." Seeing that Zhu'er was motionless, Zi Xiao waved her hand twice in front of her eyes.

Only then did Zhuer come back to her senses, and turned her head to look at the north and east walls of the city, and saw groups of soldiers gathering towards the city, with bright armor and neat ranks, compared with those ordinary people, they were A different scene, it looks like a large group of insects and ants, wriggling.

Zhu'er couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, closed her eyes, calmed herself down slightly, and said softly, "Let's go down..."

It was getting dark, and the lights of Wanjia in Daliang City were lit one after another. The twilight gradually covered up those panicked, restless, and frightened figures, covering up all the panic into tranquility.

The two masters and servants walked down the Long Live Mountain step by step against the flow of people going up the mountain.

Everyone oncoming had expressions of panic on their faces.Usually in this Gen Garden, the princess, prince, prince, son-in-law... are all so calm and elegant, even if they salute, they are afraid to be slow for a while, and make a half-step wrong, which will make people laugh.But at this time, I have completely ignored these things. I just pay attention and nod my head, and I have the right to salute, and then I pass by.

However, what can be done after going up?Whether it's the people who went up or those who came down, it was clear in their hearts: the Yuan army has begun a general attack.Daliang City is doomed to have no sleep tonight.

That night, Tongjin Gate, Xisong Gate, and Qingcao Gate on the east wall; Chenzhou Gate, Huimin Gate, and Dailou Gate on the south wall; Xinzheng Gate, Lize Gate, and Wansheng Gate on the west wall; Longmen, Shuntianmen, Jinyaomen.The twelve gates of the outer city were all on fire.The Yuan army attacked from all sides, and the [-] defenders of the capital met the enemy from all sides.Fifteen hundred crossbowmen from Dianqian Sishenarm Battalion, who were in charge of guarding the inner city, also went to the city to help in the battle.

Zhu'er looked over from the window, in Gen Yuan, layers upon layers of lights formed a circle, in the center was the emperor and the prince who were covered in iron armor and walking like flying, surrounded by the crowd, all the way out This forbidden garden, along Tianjie, went straight to the top of the city, and went to the upper city to supervise the battle.

In the city, the armament storehouse, the armory storehouse, the storeroom for foreign objects, the guard storehouse, the cooked medicine bureau... There are also lights in each of them, connected in a line, meandering past, heading straight to the various city heads.Like an endless blood, it poured that blood into the four-walled city wall guarding the girders little by little.

There are dots in the sky, and fine snow particles float up.

"Miss, it's cold, close the window, it's late at night, and it's time to settle down... Even if you look at it like this, it won't be of any help." Zi Xiao comforted.

Pearl nodded, and closed the window as she said, but the fire from the city gate facing the window was still reflected on the window paper, as if it had also been ignited.

"I hope that the snow will fall more heavily, so that it can quench the fire..." Zhu'er murmured.

How can you fall asleep if you say it's rest?Pearl was disturbed, but she still couldn't help putting on her clothes and getting up, and opened the window to watch.

Zizheng has passed, and at this time on weekdays, everything is completely silent, but tonight Daliang City is brightly lit.Every household is lit with lamps. Behind each lamp is a sleepless family, praying for the safety of the country... If you cover your ears and don't listen to the scene like this, The bursts of slaughter are like the lantern festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month every year, and the scene of all people having fun together!The most prosperous time, and the most critical time, are so similar...Pearl just feels like she is dreaming, and when she wakes up from the dream, maybe it is the peaceful scene of winter and moon?

When I woke up the next day, I didn't see the mess of fine jade and broken jade that I expected.The weather was not too cold, the snow was not too heavy, and the ground was dirty and muddy.

The news that came in the next few days was as unpleasant as the mud in this place.

It is said that the arrows of the Sibi Yuan army shot like rain, shooting the city wall like a hedgehog.

It is said that the Yuan army has already destroyed the northwest corner building by using huge boulders as cannons.

I heard that the commander Gao Shi led thousands of elite soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy, and the entire army was wiped out without a cup of tea.

It is said that the Yuan army's siege equipment is well prepared, including ramming poles, goose carts, caves, fire ladders, cloud ladders, weaving bridges, etc., and they are exquisitely designed and solid in texture. Many styles are unknown to Zhao Jun.

I heard that the corpses of the dead and wounded of the two armies have filled the moat, and the flesh and blood have frozen into solid ice.The ladder of the Yuan army was placed on those flesh and blood.

I heard that Taoist priests went to the city to practice the method, but it was useless. Instead, they were hit by the stone cannons of the Yuan army and were beaten into minced meat...

I heard that the defenders in the city frequently had civil strife, and it was often said that the heads of spies were captured and thrown down to the city to be inspected by the Daliang government.

At last.

I heard that the emperor sent a letter to Yuanjun, expressing his intention to send envoys out of the city to discuss peace.

At this point, the Yuan army stopped attacking, and everything settled down for the time being.

Only in those temples in the city, bursts of Sanskrit singing came, saving the loyal souls for the country.
