Luo Biao: "If it rains, no matter how big or small, then the vine-armored soldiers will be even more powerful. They are not afraid of rockets and can destroy the city in just an instant."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Zhang Si: "I hope heaven will bless me and it won't rain."
Minister Dormo: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, since we must hold fast, your Majesty might as well go to the city in person tomorrow to supervise the battle to boost morale."
Minister Fan Ergun said: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, if there is no external aid, the city can only be destroyed in a day or night. At the moment, it is best to consider how to mobilize reinforcements."
Minister Kabilu: "It would be great if the prince were here. I don't think Wang Erhao would be so unscrupulous."
Dormo: "The prince is indeed wise and brave, but Xihua Palace only has five thousand soldiers. Even if we come to help, the number of troops that can be mobilized is only a few thousand. To contend with Wang Erhao's army is like throwing an egg against a stone!"
Qiu Yunlong became impatient: "What time has it been? Why are you still arguing here about the prince? Everyone should think about how to escape."
Luo Biao winked at Zhang Si and motioned him to walk towards Ouchi. Zhang Si understood and said, "Everyone, wait a moment. I will discuss with Marshal Luo for a while." After saying this, he pulled Luo Biao into the inner palace.
Qiu Yunlong secretly smiled. After a while, he and his nephew Fanxi ran away.
Luo Biao whispered to Zhang Si for a while.
Zhang Si shook his head: "It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Although the marshal is loyal, he has trapped me in such an unkind and unjust way. How can I be the king of my country in the future?"
Luo Biao fell to the ground and burst into tears: "My family has been favored by the emperor for generations. The life of an old minister is no longer important. If Wang Erhao's anger can be appeased by the old minister's orders, the crisis may turn around. Otherwise, everything will be destroyed, and what's the use of living in this world. . Regarding the safety and security of the country, I hope your Majesty will think twice."
Zhang Si: "No, that's not true. Even if the general is willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and I agree with wearing filial piety to protect the spirit, how can Wang Erhao just give up? What's more, the Imperial Master will never agree."
Luo Biao: "I'll kill him first."
Zhang Si: "General, you must not have such delusions. The Brahmin national master is a human god sent by God to assist us Kshatriyas in building a country and peace of mind. Killing him will only get out of control, and it is not the foundation of a country."
Luo Biao bowed again: "Your Majesty! Do you have to wait until the country is destroyed..."
Zhang Si: "General, there is no need to say more. Even if the country is destroyed, I will not regret it." He helped Luo Biao up, "I have a good plan..."
The two whispered softly.
Luo Biao's eyes lit up.
…
Outside the city gate, the coffin had been neatly arranged and parked safely in the center of the tent. Wang Erhao caressed Ziguan and cried loudly.
Wang Erhao cried so hard: "Son, we were happy and carefree at home, enjoying all the glory and wealth. You are not in good health to begin with, why did you go out hunting with your brother and leave your life there? Wuwu - more later Year, when your uncle abdicates the throne, your father will become the emperor, and then I will go on an expedition for you, wuwu——"
Outside the tent, there are military camps. The wind on the spring night stirs up dust, making me cry and complain.
The torches were lit one by one. Zhang Si was in front, and many civil servants and generals entered one after another with their horses.
Zhang Si signaled them to be silent. He pushed open a door on the wall of the secret room, and a secret passage suddenly appeared.
Zhang Si: "This secret passage was secretly dug by the late emperor. From here you can go out five miles outside the city. It is specially used to escape when the city is breached. Not many people know about it. This shows that the late emperor had foresight in advance."
Zhang Si put his right hand on his left chest, bowed deeply and thanked the late emperor. Everyone was amazed.
Zhang Si: "Today's situation is critical, and everyone's family members have no time to take care of it. I am only willing to die and live together with you. Ministers, I have ordered that all civil servants follow me out of the city first. All generals follow the command of Marshal Luo, Defend the capital and wait for reinforcements. If reinforcements fail, you can leave the city through this road after the city is broken. Remember, no matter whether you leave the city before or after, if you get separated, you must meet up at the Prince's Xihua Palace."
All the ministers said in unison: "I will obey your Majesty's order."
The generals withdrew one after another.
Civil servants queued up to enter in orderly order.
At this time, Qiu Yunlong's laughter rang out: "Haha! This leader is right. Zhang Si, you really want to abandon the city and flee."
Zhang Si: "Master, where are you hiding? I can't find you anywhere?"
Qiu Yunlong: "Someone wants to sacrifice me to Wang Erhao. If I don't hide, I'm afraid I will become a ghost under the knife."
Zhang Si: "Master, the situation is critical today. Let's get out of the city quickly."
Qiu Yunlong: "Your Majesty, are you willing to take me out of the city with you?"
Zhang Si: "That's natural."
Qiu Yunlong was still arrogant: "It should be."
Everyone holds the torch high and stops three times at a time.
This secret passage is so miraculous that you can always see bottomless black holes.
The bats living in the secret passage were frightened and ran out in groups, flapping their wings and flying around.
Shuo Shu hid in the dark and opened his eyes alertly.
A team of people, dotted with torches. Suddenly I heard a horse neighing and fell into the abyss.
Zhang Si led the way in front of Qiu Yun's dragon head: "National Master, be careful."
Qiu Yunlong walked carefully: "It's so dangerous, what will happen if I make a mistake?"
Zhang Si called a soldier beside him: "Biha, you protect the national division."
Bihar: "Yes, Your Majesty."
A group of people meandered forward.
Everyone walked out of the cave one after another.
Qiu Yunlong rolled and crawled, and it was almost Biha and Fan Xi who pulled him forward and pushed him out of the cave.
Zhang Si rode his horse and ran towards the opposite hill. Looking around, he saw that Nanzhao City was on fire again.
There was a lot of killing and another fierce battle.
Qiu Yunlong rode to Zhang Si's side and looked at the battlefield: "Your Majesty, it seems that Wang Erhao is determined. We will not give up until we are destroyed."
Zhang Si looked at Qiu Yunlong coldly, speechless.
Everyone gathered around him one after another. There are a total of Zhang Si, Qiu Yunlong, Fan Xi, thirty guards and soldiers, and twelve civil servants.
Zhang Si ordered: "Everyone will listen to the order. The civil servants will evacuate first and meet at Xihua Palace."
Dormo: "Your Majesty, you——"
Zhang Si: "I have an insight into the war so that I can make decisions in the future. Wait for the scholar to leave quickly so as not to distract me."
Dormo: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He led all the civil servants to ride away.
Qiu Yunlong: "Your Majesty, this leader?"
Zhang Si: "If the Imperial Master wishes to stay, he will stay; if he wishes to leave, he will leave."
Qiu Yunlong: "Then I'd better stay with Your Majesty and live and die together."
Zhang Si: "Okay." He suddenly became so heroic that he said, "All guards listen to the order: light the cannon and let Wang Erhao chase and kill this king."
Qiu Yunlong was surprised: "Zhang Si. You - you are seeking death." He turned the horse's head and ran away.
Fan Xi shouted: "Biha, Zhang Si ordered you to protect the imperial master."
Biha hesitated for a moment, then galloped after him.
All the soldiers looked solemn. Several soldiers lit the cannon one after another.
Zhang Si stood on the hill with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Under the city, Wang Erlei was directing the siege. When he heard the cannon, he looked around and said "Ah": "No, Zhang Si has run away! Quick, tell your uncle to stop the siege. You, you, you, hurry up and chase after me." Wang Erlei said as he led a group of people to chase towards the hill.
When Zhang Si saw his pursuers approaching, he shouted: "Zhang Si is here, my dear rabbits, please let your horse come over." He patted the horse's head gently, clamped its belly, and the horse neighed and galloped away into the wilderness like an arrow. .
Thirty soldiers then escorted him.
Wang Erlei's pursuers fired arrows like locust springs.
Several of Zhang Si's soldiers fell instantly.
Several soldiers lined up, turned around and fought with Wang Erlei with swords to block the pursuers. After a while, they all died in the line of duty.
The remaining soldiers tried their best to protect Zhang Si and fled to Xihua Palace.
