"Uncle Master's words make sense. However, as a monk, I cannot be afraid of life and death. This trip is inevitable. Even if I die, I don't care. I will bear in mind Uncle Master's words and say goodbye."
Fa Hai was completely unfazed by the Jingtan messenger's words, and walked out with a calm expression while holding the purple gold alms bowl.
"Fahai, you can't go"
Prince Ma, who had a good relationship with Fa Hai in private, quickly caught up with him.
The messenger of Jingtan stood there with a confused look on his face.
…
At this time, both inside and outside Lin'an City were in chaos. The defenders in the city had not fought in decades. It was okay to scare the unarmed people, but when they met the real ones, they already wished they had an extra leg.
If it weren't for a few bookish civil servants, with the emperor's orders, suppressing the troops on the tower, the army might have collapsed.
There was chaos outside the city because Xu Xian had no one to lead the troops. When they attacked the city, a group of rabble-rousers rushed up in a swarm, carrying a big tree they didn't know where to cut, and came to the city wall. They were all dumbfounded. , can't get up at all.
This is like looking at a mountain and running to death. If you look at it from a distance, it doesn't seem too high. But if you look at it up close, you'll just be dumbfounded.
In fact, it is not to blame this gang of gangsters. Lin'an City has not experienced war for decades, so how could they prepare ladders for siege in the subordinate county warehouse.
Amidst the hysterical shouting, the rabble was defeated by the defenders, who were even more rabble than they expected, with the help of the city wall.
Four to five hundred corpses were left behind, and thousands of mobs retreated like a tide. The morale boosted by the arrival of Canglong suddenly dropped to freezing point.
This is not to blame for the poor effect of Cang Long's coming to the world, but to the fact that the composition of this group of people is too mixed, especially the vendors among them, who are walking in the streets and alleys. They are all smart people and do not have the fighting spirit to risk their lives.
During the siege, the courageous attack of the companions can inspire many people, and the hasty escape of the companions can also infect more people.
The hasty retreat of thousands of people led to more people, and thousands of soldiers as substitutes also ran behind. All of a sudden, it affected all the troops.
Just when the more than 30,000 troops were almost completely collapsed, Xu Xian, who was standing with Chu Feng, moved. With the increased strength brought by taking drugs, he went against the flow of people and rushed to the city wall, picked up the trees on the ground, and fought hard Throw it towards the city wall.
Not to mention, Xu Xian, a pervert, was really good at this, knocking down a group of soldiers defending the city on the spot.
The civil servants who were boosting morale were furious. They had worked hard to boost morale, but too many people gathered on the city wall. They smashed to death and injured dozens of people at once. The remaining people looked terrified.
"What are you waiting for? Where is the archer? Let's shoot this monster to death!"
One of the civil servants came to his senses and shouted angrily.
Under the command of several fat-minded officers, the archers rushed up to the tower and stood behind the battlements to fire arrows.
The archers who had not received normal training performed extremely badly. The bows and arrows they shot were soft and had no force at all, and they did not even damage Xu Xian's hair.
Historically, the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the nomads from the north relied on local armies. The corrupt capital army had no ability to resist.
It is clear that there is a life and death enemy in the north. From top to bottom, everyone in the imperial court seems to be asleep. In the end, the war to destroy the country comes. Everything is irreversible. It is a strange country and a strange nation.
Xu Xian, who was not hit by the bow and arrow, was furious. In essence, he was still a citizen of the Song Dynasty, a scholar, and the blood of serving the Zhao Song royal family flowed in his bones. At this moment, he found that the person he once wanted to be loyal to, so It was so clumsy and ridiculous that I felt I had been fooled.
"This is an important place in the capital, and the defenders are so unbearable. If the barbarians from the north invade, how can we resist it? Why should we continue to flee south? It's okay if you don't want to regain your homeland. You don't even have the ability to protect yourself. The aloof emperor, Gon Lord Gong, what have you done in the past few decades? You have been busy fighting for power and making money."
What Xu Xian didn't know was actually right. In the original history, Xiangyang, which had been defended for a long time, was breached. The Yuan army had no worries, marched straight in, and easily captured Lin'an. The small court fled south in embarrassment, all the way to Yashan. Minister Lu Xiufu took the young emperor to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and staged a scene. After Yashan, there would be no more China.
What is ridiculous is that before the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more than 80 million people and the economic strength was the first in the world. As a result, the entire country was slaughtered like piglets by the Yuan army.
What’s even more ridiculous is that this kind of thing has happened many times in the history of the Chinese nation.
Countries and nations that fall asleep collectively at every turn are very frustrating.
Faced with Xu Xian's thunderous questioning, the civil servants in the city tower immediately found their place of use.
"Xu Xian, I heard that you are a scholar from Qiantang, the master of the Lord of Heaven and Earth. You are the Queen of Heaven and Earth. How could you do such a rebellious thing? The sages' books you read were eaten by dogs."
Although the city tower was very high, Xu Xian, who had been transformed by the elixir, had sharp ears and eyes, and could easily hear the question. If it were before, he might not know how to answer. Now, he had thought clearly and said in a disdainful tone: "Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, I don't know how to answer. After so many dynasties and emperors, the Zhao family's world was still snatched from the hands of the orphans and widowers of the Chai family. If you can't keep what you snatched, you can talk nonsense."
The civil servants on the city tower were trembling with anger. They could say such things as having no king and no father. If they hadn't been concerned about their delicate bodies and noble bodies, they would have rushed out of the city gate and beheaded Xu Xian.
The city guarding officers on the side are almost fainting. There is a war now. What are you talking about?
"Sir, stop talking. The rebels under Xu Xian have gathered again."
Several civil servants who wanted to say something else turned green when they saw more than 30,000 rebels gathered. How come within a short time, the rebels who were about to collapse gathered again.
These few civil servants who only know how to fight for power naturally don't know how important a tiger-like commander is in a fierce war.
Historically, Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao, as representatives of the brave warrior faction, led small armies time and time again to defeat armies many times larger than theirs. The reason for their victory was that the commander was not afraid of death and boosted the morale of the army.
"Break Lin'an and capture the Dog Emperor alive"
"Break Lin'an, grab money and food"
"Arrest all the ministers of the dynasty in prison and rob all their female relatives!"
…
More than 30,000 people were running and shouting.
The city gate opened with a bang.
Xu Xian, who broke open the city gate, waved his hand.
"Going to town"
More than 30,000 mobs roared into Lin'an, the ruling center of the Song Dynasty.
