Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 69 The Old Royal Palace (Please follow up!)

Ying Xuan returned to the army and immediately fired his crossbow arrows.

All the officers and men were dumbfounded, where did Yu Shi go for a turn, and there was such a harvest!
They found that as long as the censor came out, what was missing would surely be multiplied.

This is true for grain, and it is still true for arrows now!

This number of crossbow arrows was handed over to hundreds of strong crossbowmen.

The empty quiver was heavy again.

It seemed like they all had an illusion.

Didn't we fight the siege just now, and everyone just sent troops from the garrison.

This scene once again confirmed the governor's point of view. He kept raising his eyebrows and questioning the county lieutenant with his eyes.

"Look, look! Really?"

"He can do whatever he wants! He has everything he wants!"

The county lieutenant also scratched his head. Is he really the chosen one?
The army continued to advance, and it was already Maoshi, and it would not be long before dawn.

Ying Xuan looked up.

The moon has gradually lowered the mountain, and a thick dark cloud is rushing against the skyline in the distance.

The air is getting humid.

The torches of the soldiers were almost burned out.

Ying Xuan looked to the east, and the dark and deep royal city looked like a huge mouth.

The scouts ahead kept returning.

"Report! The rebels all shrank to two streets outside the old royal city."

"Report! The rebels are setting up defensive positions, with hay piled on both sides. They may set fire to block it!"

"Report! The rebels blocked the civilian men in front, and if they want to defeat the enemy, they will kill all the civilians!"

Not a single good news.

Everyone's mood became heavier.

And what Ying Xuan is most worried about is those people who have disappeared.

There are nearly [-] people in Shouchun City. Even if you subtract those who died in the chaos of these days, and add in the relatives of the refugees captured from the surrounding area, the number will not be much less than before.

But there is no trace of these people now, where did the Yue people hide them?
Ying Xuan frowned.

The outline of the royal city is gradually becoming clearer.

The sky has begun to turn blue.

The soldiers threw away their burned out torches, and there was silence.

Only the sound of orderly and heavy footsteps remained in Shouchun City.

Chang Lin and a group of refugees who were following behind also noticed something was wrong at this moment.

This is about to beat Shouchun down!
But the shadow of your loved ones hasn't been seen yet?

They also started to get a little anxious.

Zhang Wangcai, who was not far behind Ying Xuan, felt more and more panicked as he went east.

Always want to ink twice to stand behind people.

Zhaohan and Zhaoyi clenched their fists nervously, while the other stared ahead and trembled in fear.

The county guard and the county lieutenant frowned and looked at the gradually revealed defense line in front of them in silence.

More than 1 soldiers were divided into arrays and marched neatly through the streets.

Finally came to the enemy.

"Whizzing!"

The crossbow arrows were fired, but the target was not Ying Xuan and others. They had not yet entered the shooting range.

The flaming arrows set fire to the hay in the street and the wagon logs lying across the road.

The flames shot straight up along the walls on both sides.

After a while, houses and streets became a line of fire, dividing the entire Shouchun Equinox into two halves.

At this time, the army could not move forward at all.

The thick smoke brought up by the raging fire blocked the eyes of Ying Xuan and others.

If someone is sent to clear the obstacles on the road, they will break into the opponent's crossbow range and be shot dead on the spot.

If you don't go, you can only wait for the fire to get smaller.

Ying Xuan frowned, the opponent didn't seem to want to fight, but was procrastinating instead.

But is time on their side?

When the Great Qin reinforcements arrived, they didn't even have room to resist.

Unless it's not going well in Sichuan County.

Let the rebels have the strength to return to defense.

But that's impossible!There are only three small towns in total there.

Sichuan County also has the Daze Township Barracks, and the mobilization of all troops will only be more than that of the Huaiyang Army!

No matter what, it is impossible to suppress the rebels in the three small towns!

Ying Xuan was very puzzled when he saw the thick smoke.

It seems that the fire is too big.

The sky, which was about to light up, gradually darkened.

The thick dark cloud finally pressed over everyone's heads.

A strong wind blew, bringing with it some dust that made people squint their eyes.

Zhang Han said softly.

"It's going to rain! Their fire won't last long!"

Zhaohan also made a sound.

"Yes, there are only a few thousand soldiers in the city originally. With the private soldiers mobilized from several surrounding counties and the nobles of the three surnames, the total number of soldiers in Shouchun City is only [-]."

"Looking at the appearance just now, I'm afraid we have lost a lot of people while defending the city."

"Their strength is also stretched! Once the rain falls to suppress the fire, they can easily put down the rebellion!"

Seeing Zhaohan's excited look, Ying Xuan suddenly frowned and asked.

"Since you know their information, let me ask you! Where are the nearly [-] people in Shouchun?"

Unexpectedly, this question made Zhaohan calm down.

He turned around and saluted.

"The people are ahead."

"If the criminals lie to you, the whole family will suffer a terrible death!"

He raised his head and stared at Ying Xuan firmly.

"Please trust me!"

This oath did not even let go of the granddaughter who had left her alone!

After hearing this, Ying Xuan was not relieved, but instead frowned even more.

……

At this moment, on the road from Juyang City to the Huaiyang Army's station in Fengtang, Shaopi'an, a Qin soldier slapped his horse hard.

He saw that there were still people active in the nearby Huaiyang military garrison.

Immediately he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"The imperial decree!"

"Army from all counties! Guard your positions!"

"Huaiyang County and Sichuan County immediately withdraw from Jiujiang to this county! Beware of riots in this county!"

"Huaiyang County Sheriff takes the order!"

Shouts came from far away.

When several soldiers in the camp heard this, they immediately stepped forward and opened the gate of the camp.

The Qin army who sent the order rushed into the camp, only to find that there were only a few people in front of him.

The entire camp is already empty.

he asked anxiously.

"Where are the people? Where are the thirty thousand soldiers?"

Several soldiers who were cooking hurriedly replied.

"The army went to attack Shouchun City last night under the imperial censor's order!"

Suddenly the herald's expression changed drastically.

"Censor? Where did the censor come from? I came all the way from Xianyang and I never knew there was a censor sent from the imperial court!"

As soon as these words came out, several soldiers were immediately panicked.

"It shouldn't be! The censor even helped us raise food and grass!"

The messenger officer was full of anxiety!
"That might be a ruse!"

"Sichuan County is closer, and it has been notified according to the time!"

"Once they retreat and the rebels have the strength to go south, the [-] Huaiyang army will become rootless duckweed!"

"Shouchun City is not so easy to take down. As long as the rebels support the Huaiyang Army, they will be completely defeated. I'm afraid Huaiyang County will also be unstable!"

The herald was angry, it was too late!
Regardless of these, he turned his horse's head and ran towards Shouchun City again.

I only hope that the Huaiyang army can be saved before the army is besieged.

But when he approached Shouchun City, he saw the battlefield outside the south city full of Qin army corpses from a distance.

There was a chill in my heart.

Has the Huaiyang Army been completely defeated by the rebels?

As he approached, the tragic battlefield became clearer.

Just when he was getting more and more disappointed.

Suddenly, it was discovered that Shouchun South City Gate seemed to have been knocked open.

His eyes widened immediately, did the Huaiyang Army really capture this huge city?
