Second time, this is the second time in two years.
The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was once again attacked by enemy troops. The Song army on the city blew horns and beat war drums. There was a panic at the top of the city. Everyone in the Song soldiers was in danger, everyone was frightened, and the morale of the army was floating.
Almost all of them had experienced the previous Ming army siege, but they were not necessarily soldiers at the time.
But the terrifying momentum of the Ming army's siege and the terrifying military formation that could not be seen to the end are indeed deeply memorable.
There are well gates on all sides, tall city wall-like chariots, and all kinds of chariots, chariots, wooden curtains, etc. The army is like locusts surrounding the city wall on all sides, and there is no possibility of defeating them completely. sex.
That terrible sense of coercion is still fresh in many people's memories.
But this time, another enemy army came to the city again, the second time in two years, which was very ridiculous.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Southern Song Dynasty was originally the attacker, but was defeated like a mountain. They were pushed back to the imperial capital and to the core area of the empire. This situation made many people feel that something in their hearts was suddenly broken. Cracked, gone, gone.
Are we really a big country?
Can the Song Dynasty court really persist?
Can we still win?
Ordinary people may not think that way, but many scholars, generals, and civil servants with a little knowledge really think this way.
How long can the Song Dynasty maintain its state?
no one knows.
When Zhao Hao learned that the rebels from Jiangnan West Road had arrived at the city, he slumped down on his chair and looked at the outside of the palace in disbelief, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
The second time, the second time, this is the second time the enemy has attacked the city!
In less than two years as emperor, he was attacked twice by enemy troops at the imperial capital. What this emperor did was unprecedented and unprecedented, right?
Zhao Xun even shrank up weakly and huddled on the throne. He did not accept anyone's visit and huddled by himself, feeling the boundless pain and fear.
It would have been better if he had escaped with Zhao Gou before. It would have been better than enduring pain and fear in Lin'an City, right?
For a moment, this bold idea filled Zhao Xin's mind, making him yearn and yearn for it strongly.
He doesn't want to stay here and be helpless, and he doesn't want to endure severe pain here. He wants to leave here, he wants to feel safe, and he wants to sleep peacefully.
He suddenly felt that he could understand Zhao Gou.
Why is Zhao Gou so morbidly pursuing safety and so morbidly afraid of all threats?
Come to think of it, it has something to do with some of his early experiences.
Zhao Hao never thought that he would become the same person as Zhao Gou. He thought that he could transcend and rise up, but in the end he sadly found that he was getting closer to Zhao Gou.
Many officials had already escaped from Lin'an City in the previous wave. After the army re-blocked Lin'an City, Zhao Hao learned that the number of officials in the imperial court had decreased by more than one-fifth, which meant that one-fifth of the officials had quick eyesight and quick hands. Already fled for his own life.
The remaining ones can't be said to be loyal ministers. Maybe they just moved too slowly and caught up with the Lin'an blockade before they had time to escape.
Zhao Yan was not sure how many people on his side would fight to the end for him or even die for him, or how many people would eventually abandon him and join Su Yonglin's Ming Dynasty.
He even had a strong sense of déjà vu.
He will be the king of subjugation.
Increasing panic swept around him, making him feel like a survivor in a small boat in the turbulent sea.
Maybe in the next second, he will be swept away by the raging sea water, never see the light of day again, and suffocated to death.
He didn't know when the army outside the city would launch an attack, nor how long the defenders inside the city would be able to hold on. He only knew that as emperor, his life would be rewritten.
Will he, like those predecessors decades ago, be taken to the freezing Five Kingdoms City and endure the humiliation caused by his wife and children being separated and humiliated?
No, he can't accept it. If that's the case, he will commit suicide!
I guess so……
Zhao Yan tightened his body more and more, waiting for his ending in panic.
Time passed by minute by second, and the extreme panic made Zhao Xun feel as if he was being roasted on a fire.
However, the news he finally got was not what he imagined.
"Your Majesty, the bandits have retreated..."
Imperial Prime Minister Ye Yiwen came to the palace with inexplicable emotions and told Zhao Yan the news.
Zhao Hao thought he had heard wrongly at first, but it was not until Ye Yiwen repeated it many times that he realized that he had heard correctly.
The joy at that moment made Zhao Xing almost crazy.
But the next development was also beyond his expectation.
The "thief army" was not repulsed, but retreated on its own.
They marched around Lin'an City three times, and then put up a flag at the main west gate of Lin'an City. The whole army quickly left Lin'an City and headed southwest.
Song Jun, who was frightened and inexplicably distraught, did not even dare to see what was going on at first. He thought they had gone to meet with the main force and would fight back, so they did not dare to leave the city.
Until the sun set, they saw that there was really no movement around them, so they rewarded the brave soldiers with heavy rewards to go out to check the situation.
There are indeed brave men under the heavy reward. After the six "brave" pawns of the Song Army received the money, they were lowered down the city with their horses by ropes. They touched the flag and put away the chess pieces.
They couldn't read and didn't know what was written on it, so they just put it away and sped off in different directions.
After nightfall, all six people came back, and the news they brought back was that within the scope of their investigation, there was no trace of an organized bandit army within more than ten miles of Lin'an City.
The bandit army disappeared.
Then one of the soldiers took out the flag that he had put away and handed it to the city guard general Yang Ci.
When Yang Ci unfolded the flag and took a look, his face suddenly looked very strange.
He strictly ordered the soldiers not to relax their vigilance, and ordered to give money and recruit more warriors to go out of the city to investigate the news.
Then he found Ye Yiwen, who was responsible for coordinating the city's defense, and handed the flag to Ye Yiwen.
Ye Yiwen also looked weird after looking at it.
"Is it true that there are no more rebels outside the city?"
"There is no trace within a radius of more than ten miles. The general has sent people to explore further away. There is no news yet."
"Isn't this a scam?"
"This...if this is a scam, it would be too..."
Yang Ci was speechless.
Ye Yiwen couldn't figure out why.
It was not until dawn the next morning that the "warriors" sent by the Song Army came back. They had explored a radius of more than 20 miles and found no trace of the enemy.
The enemy army that circled the city three times disappeared.
Ye Yiwen took out the flag and looked at it again, and his heart was gradually filled with a strange emotion.
He went to the palace and liberated the emperor Zhao Xun who was suffering from pain, but then he brought him news that made him even more uncomfortable.
Zhao Min took the flag and saw it read "Commander Xu Tong of the Second Division of the Jiangnan West Road Peasant Army and his four thousand warriors came to Ancheng to wish Zhao Guan's family well".
Oh, the bugle of that army turned out to be the Peasant Army.
This was Zhao Min's first feeling.
The commander of the second division, Xu Tong, and his four thousand warriors... Oh, there were only four thousand people coming.
This is Zhao Min's second feeling.
Did they come to Lin'an City for a visit?
This is Zhao Min's third feeling, and a big problem.
Four thousand people came to Lin'an City?
Four thousand people came to Lin'an City from Jiangnan West Road?
They used four thousand men to penetrate the heart of the Song Dynasty, and then fought all the way to Lin'an City?
During this period, all the actions taken by the Song Dynasty failed to stop them from moving forward?
