Chapter five hundred and sixty five.
During the fierce siege battle for two or three consecutive days, the Guanning Army suffered astonishing losses, thousands of people were killed and twice as many injured as this number. Another day of battle, the Guanning Army, which suffered heavy casualties, stopped in front of Yongding Gate. The soldiers were so tired that they were not willing to even slap the camp, just like a group of dead bodies lying on the ground.
He also sat on the ground exhausted, but when he saw a fire suddenly lit up in the city gate behind him, a large earth basket fell down, Wu Sangui held on and hurriedly greeted him, bowing heavily to the eunuch supervisor Liu Zhongyi who had just left the earth basket.
"How about father-in-law?"
Originally, the eunuch in charge of the army should have followed the army, but in the past few days, the Guanning Army was like a firefighter. When he ran around and couldn't stop, he could not afford to eat. As early as the first day, he found a way to return to the capital city.
Others are hiding from the eunuchs in the military and trying not to put them in their army. But for the first time, Wu Sangui was extremely looking forward to the eunuchs in the military, but in his eyes full of anticipation, Liu Zhongyi shook his head arrogantly.
"Ping Xibo, the emperor has high hopes for you! Guanning Iron Cavalry is also known as the unparalleled one in the world! Why, I can't waste it in just three days? What's the difference between you and those who deceive the world and steal the reputation?"
"Father-in-law! Just go to the city to rest for a day! No, even if you don't rest, support each sect can allow our army to pass through the city! Father-in-law! He has many soldiers and generals! These days he has seized the opportunity of our army wandering around and constantly fighting our army! If he continues to fight like this, the Guanning army will collapse!"
Wu Sangui bowed solemnly, but who knew that the eunuch's face was cold and yelled in anger.
"Rareless! General Wu is threatening the court? Our Ming Dynasty has produced many talents from all over the world. If General Wu cannot do this Ningyuan General, he will have a large number of generals to take over!"
"This is the ancestral system! The army of the king is not allowed to enter the city to disturb the people! General Wu's request has already made the emperor unhappy! This time, our family is good at the emperor's words for you, but next time I will be in danger! General Wu should think about how to defend the enemy! Stop mentioning those unreasonable requirements!"
"Okay, it's getting late, our family will go back to the palace to report!"
"Oh! Father-in-law!"
Full of anxiety, Wu Sangui wanted to say something, but the eunuch in charge had climbed up the earth basket again. Suddenly, an unprecedented ruthlessness emerged in Wu Sangui's pupils. He ran two steps quickly. He quickly picked up a jade sign from his waist and threw it into the basket. He then stood under the basket and shouted loudly.
"Dadult, the sword in the battle formation has no eyes. I hope that this card will be transferred to my father. Even if the general dies on the battlefield, he will be grateful for his kindness!"
After picking up the sign with some boredom, Liu Zhongyi muttered impatiently: "We know!"
Seeing the torch retreat, the haze completely burst out in Wu Sangui's eyes, full of gloom. He turned around and entered the army without looking back.
"Transpread orders and summon the generals to advance to the tent! Let Li Benshen and Wu Fu come to see me first!"
…………
What should I do if the Guanning Army enters the city and cannot go out? Besides, outside the city, it depends on the face of the Ministry of War. If the Guanning Army enters the city, if the Guanning Army becomes wild and cheats, it will be a big trouble for the eunuchs who are already supervising the army.
Besides, it’s so troublesome to deduct military pay without crossing this wall!
Just because of these two troubles, the internal and external officials locked the most important military force that defended the capital city outside the city without any concern.
Among the military pay that Mao Wenlong had donated all his family property, he should give himself a copy of his pocket without hesitation. Liu Zhongyi was really loyal to the human affairs and visited Wu Xiang's mansion with the jade plaque.
It’s not that he is so kind-hearted, this is a rare opportunity to collect cash! Sure enough, Wu Xiang personally welcomed into the mansion, and then a large plate of silver was presented to him. Looking at the shiny silver and Wu Xiang’s old face that had already smiled like an old chrysanthemum, the eunuch also smiled his eyes into a crack.
"Don't worry, General Wu! These Tianping Xibo is very brave! Our family will definitely report Ping Xibo's military achievements to the court truthfully. When the trespass is defeated, I am afraid that Ping Xibo will change his name to Ping Xihou. Our family will congratulate the veteran general!"
"So, thank you, my father-in-law! Sanfeng! I bought the fox fur we bought in Tieshan last year. Oh, my father-in-law, you are not right to wear something in this cold day, just put it on!"
"How can this make? The old general is polite, and our family will be disrespectful!"
The silver was also collected and a fox coat was filled. Liu Zhongyi returned from Wu Xiang's mansion with a full load of laughter. However, as soon as he sent the eunuch away and turned around, the smile on Wu Xiang's face became cold quickly. He walked back to the mansion quickly, and then pulled his incompetent eldest son Wu Sanfeng and said hurriedly.
"The disaster is coming! Get your hands on it immediately, and while it's dark, hide under the big locust tree in Ganying Temple at the intersection of our street, so that the young man in the backyard will be ready to run away at any time! Also, take your brother's concubine Chen Yuanyuan, don't lose it! Go quickly!"
"Dad, are you confused?"
I just gave the fox fur, and I was obviously unwilling to do so! Wu Sanfeng, the second-generation military generation who was similar to that of the young master Li Rumei back then, muttered impatiently.
"There are our Guanning Army outside to resist, and there are still more than 100,000 troops in the capital. The situation is getting better! Why is the disaster coming!"
"Oh, you are unfilial son, you are so angry!"
The crutches on his hand were rubbing the ground several times in a row. Wu Xiang was so angry that he raised the blood-red jade sign on his forehead.
"What is this?"
"Isn't this the natal jade plaque that my father gave to our brothers a few?"
Before he understood, Wu Sanfeng still looked in a state of no hurry, but immediately, he yelled and got a hard kick from Wu Xiang and staggered back aside.
He looked at the door carefully again and pushed him into the bedroom. The jade sign was once again held in front of Wu Sanfeng. Wu Xiang was groaning with a serious face.
"Your brother sends this back to you, which means he is already in danger of self-rescue! You have to take action! Tell us that he can no longer be the Wu family at this time, so that we can't be the one who wants to be blessed!"
"As soon as the Guanning Army fell, the capital could be defended by more than 100,000 wastes from the Beijing camp? The trouble is coming, the Ming Dynasty is over! Don't you understand?"
"If you don't prepare earlier, just wait for our Wu family to die!"
Seeing his father and fairy screaming in front of him like that, Wu Sanfeng was so scared that his face was pale.
…………
On the other side, the entire Guanning Army was filled with a dull atmosphere, full of rage. Li Benshen waved his slap hard like a resentful woman.
"Defend the capital! Defend the capital! Do you treat us as your own people? In the past few days, we have not rescued any of the emergency. Guanning's men are dying one after another. They are more strict in our defense than thieves! The thieves attacked and turned around and ran away. We have to go into the city to rest. The muskets and cannons will greet us according to our heads!"
"General, my personal soldiers have been killed in battle these days! Half of the soldiers under my command are gone! If we continue to fight like this, our ancestral shop will be gone!"
"And my Wang family village!"
Following Li Benshen, the various guerrillas and gangs of the Guanning Army also started to complain.
Sitting behind the fire, the flames made Wu Sangui's face darker. Listening to the complaints of the generals, he kept silent until Li Benshen's last signal came.
"General, if we continue to fight like this, our Guanning Army will be over!"
"What do you think?"
Suddenly, Wu Sangui suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Benshen's face.
This is the same routine as Emperor Chongzhen! But Wu Sangui's generals were obviously much more responsible than those of the civil officials in Chongzhen. He swallowed heavily and made up his mind. Li Benshen whispered gloomyly.
"Anyway, it will be a death to defeat him. General, the last general thinks, let's go against him!"
"The Ming Dynasty has no future! I will work hard for those officials and masters, and I feel it's not worth it if I die!"
The voice became more and more sinister. Li Benshen turned his head viciously, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. For a moment, the generals who were complaining just now became silent under his eyes.
But looking at the swaying Wu family soldiers and Wu Sangui's silent expression, the same cruelty gradually emerged in the pupils of these Guanning generals.
"Anyway, our young family is not in the capital, what are we worried about?"
"Damn it, I don't want to work hard for the group of players in Beijing!"
"Reverse! Reverse!"
The trembling voices intersected, and all eyes fell on Wu Sangui's face. Looking at this scene, the corner of his mouth under the shadow couldn't help but slightly curl upwards.
