Everyone in Nanfeng Palace had illusions at first, but bad news came in one after another.
The garrison north of the city was defeated.
After learning about it, the defenders in the west of the city not only did not come to help resist, but instead collectively abandoned the city head and ran away.
The supervisors were furious and even killed more than ten people, but to no avail.
Many defenders even spoke plausibly while leading their troops to escape.
Saying that the north of the city has been broken, it doesn't make much difference whether the west of the city is defended or not.
Moreover, they had no choice but to abandon the defense.
As the commander-in-chief of the Central Army, General Bai Qiongjingbai has been diligently preparing for war, thinking about the important matter of defending the city and driving away the enemy all the time.
Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work.
As a result, Jin Linwei said "colluding with Yunchui people and betraying the country for glory", so his family was imprisoned. Their life and death are still unknown.
It really chills the hearts of the entire Central Military Army...
If you want them to defend the city, you should first release General Bai and his family, and then destroy the Jinlin Guards.
It would be easy to release Bai Qiongjing, but it would be difficult to destroy the Jinlin Guards.
The bad news continues to sound like a death knell one after another.
"Report, the west side of the city has been breached. The west city defenders went straight to the south gate, intending to open the door and leave the city."
"Report, the street fighting in the north is not going well, and our side suffered heavy casualties. The people even led the way for Yun Chui's soldiers."
"Report! Yun Chui's army is approaching the bell tower!"
The bell tower of Dingcheng in Song Dynasty is also called Wangling Tower. It is located slightly north of the center of the city.
The daily watchmen, announcers, etc. all start here and go to other places in the city to remind people of the time or other official matters.
Arriving at the bell tower is equivalent to arriving at the aristocratic residential area of Nanfeng and the entrance to the palace.
"Come so quickly?"
Everyone in the palace, including the calmest Pei Ruhai, could not help but change their expressions.
The palace city occupies a huge area, and it was still silent outside at this time, but they seemed to hear the deafening killing sounds, as if Yun Chuiren was about to break through the palace gate and break in the next second.
Looking at the time, after breaking through the north of the city, Yun Chui's army clearly seemed to be entering an uninhabited land, heading straight towards the palace without stopping.
The towering outer city couldn't stop the wolf-like and tiger-like Yunchui people, let alone the palace walls.
The ministers did not care about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and gathered around to persuade each other.
"Your Majesty, Yun Chui's target is the palace. The palace is dangerous, let's leave for now."
"But..." King Nan Feng hesitated.
Nan Feng was deeply influenced by Yun Chui. The palace was his ancestral property and could not be abandoned unless absolutely necessary.
"It's nothing. Your Majesty, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
"The Yunchui people are in high spirits at this time. Let's stay away from them for the time being. We will have time to recover the rivers and mountains later."
…
"There is no unstoppable road. Fortunately, the south gate is not blocked by Yun Chui people. The king will go to the south to recuperate for the time being and wait for news from Emperor Changxing."
After much talk, the panicked King Nan Feng was willing to leave.
There is a secret passage in the palace, so you don't have to worry too much about being blocked and having nowhere to escape.
Outside the royal city, Li Hebai, who was covered in blood, glanced disdainfully at the palace wall. Although he came quickly, it was not his responsibility to enter the palace and capture King Nan Feng.
Wow.
Li Hebai shook a thick stack of lists in his hand, and then distributed them to his generals.
"These are the list of Nanfeng's important ministers and the location of their palaces. Find them all for me and raid their homes. If they resist, they will be killed without mercy. But if they don't resist, they are not allowed to be killed at will."
These people were so embarrassed that their hands were stained with the blood of Yunchui people. They had to be taken back to the country to stand trial and give an explanation to the people who died unjustly.
Bang bang!
He tapped the name again.
"Especially this Pei Ruhai, he has to dig deep to capture his entire clan, men, women, and children. He will live and die, and his body will be seen. If there is one missing, you are the only one who can ask."
"Yes!" The generals loudly accepted their orders and dispersed with their subordinates in all directions with murderous intent.
Scenes like this were staged everywhere in Songding City.
Fortunately, the Xingluo Army and Zhennanguan were fine. The two border guards had strict military disciplines and enforced prohibitions. There is no need for the generals to talk too much.
But Baihua, Xiyu, Canglan and the Guangxin County garrison who came later were different, and they had suffered greatly from Nanfeng in recent years.
If they don't give a few more warnings and send people to keep an eye on them, they can kill the entire Song Ding city into a river of blood, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.
Nanfeng Palace.
Nanfeng King Pei Ruhai and others hurriedly opened the mechanism and stepped into the secret passage, running forward without looking back, fearing that they would be caught by the Yun Chui soldiers who came in if they were too late, but they did not know that a vigorous figure followed behind.
After escaping from the north of the city, Ren Ning changed his clothes immediately to wash off the smell, stuffed a few things into his mouth to fill his stomach, and then walked into the palace in a familiar way.
At this time, he followed in quietly.
He wasn't worried about the men escaping.
There seemed to be no one outside the southern city, but that was just a superficial phenomenon. The Starfall Legion had already sent people to keep a close eye on it.
The reason why I followed him was to see if there was a secret passage in the palace, and whether there was King Nan Feng's wealth in the secret passage.
Several generations of Nanfeng kings have been running this country for hundreds of years. Apart from the official treasury, Ren Ning doesn't believe that the royal family doesn't have any secret savings.
Red light flashes everywhere in the secret passage under the golden finger, and the values are large and small.
Ren Ning is an expert in this field.
He seizes the opportunity to seize the opportunity, dodge if he can, avoid if he can't, and only release it when he really can't get around.
The ancient mechanisms were not as sophisticated as modern ones, and since the mechanisms did not recognize people, King Nan Feng and his party also had to solve the problem at the same time. He could keep up easily.
Sure enough, after turning a few corners, Ren Ning saw a warehouse.
King Nan Feng didn't know whether he was anxious to escape or whether he believed in the safety of this secret passage. He had no intention of opening a warehouse to withdraw money and continued to escape with his ministers.
After they walked away, Ren Ningsong checked the warehouse door lock, easily broke through several overt and covert traps, and finally opened the lock in a few clicks.
squeak!
There was a soft sound and the warehouse door opened.
After the bad luck dissipated, Ren Ning walked in and soon smiled.
As expected, the warehouse was filled with gold and silver treasures. The gold and silver were so bright that it made people dizzy, and they were stacked neatly, like a hill.
He picked up a few pieces and inspected them carefully. After confirming that they were real gold and silver, he nodded with satisfaction.
Got rich.
However, Ren Ning didn't hesitate, and immediately left the warehouse, ignored him, and continued to pursue him.
The secret passage has several branches, each branch is dark and long, and it is not clear where it leads. Ren Ning would not forgive himself if he lost King Nan Feng and Pei Ruhai.
Along the way, Ren Ning discovered other warehouses.
However, Nanfeng is a small country after all, and the king of Nanfeng does not have much private money. Except for the original warehouse, the other small warehouses are filled with rare calligraphy and paintings.
It is said that you should hide antiques in prosperous times and buy gold in troubled times. These things are useless in Ren Ning's eyes. And after looking at the signatures, many of them said Ruan Tianshou.
Ren Ning was even more speechless. These were paintings by King Nan Feng of all dynasties, so they were even less valuable.
After walking for another half an hour, Ren Ning estimated that they had been out of the city for a long time, and the speed of King Nan Feng and his party in front slowed down.
It looks like the exit is coming.
squeak.
Deep in a bamboo forest somewhere outside the south city, a small piece of land suddenly loosened and revealed a crack.
Buzz.
Countless mosquitoes and ants that were living there suddenly exploded, flying and crawling everywhere.
King Nan Feng and his party in the secret passage suddenly changed their expressions.
In addition to mosquitoes flying around, there was also the sound of war and chaos outside.
"Kill them!"
Even Ren Ning, who was following behind, could hear the familiar voice of Yun Chui. It was Lei Er shouting with great energy.
On the ground, the Nanfeng Central Army collectively abandoned the city and fled. However, before they could run a few miles, they were caught by the Xingluo Army who was waiting for help.
It was originally cavalry vs. infantry, and Yun Chui was very motivated, and Nan Feng was the bereaved dog. Needless to say, the result.
can not go out.
People in the secret passage are in panic all day long.
