Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 193 Troops from all directions come to help
  The spy's words were like a thunderbolt falling on the heads of Yang Minggui and Xu Mu. Their expressions changed suddenly, and Xu Mu's reaction was even greater than that of Yang Minggui. The powerful innate spiritual energy came out of the body and was lifted up from the air. Reporting to the soldier's collar, he said angrily: "What did you say?!"

The reporting soldier was trembling with fear, but he still said bravely: "The east gate of the city has been lost, and thieves have entered the city."

"Crack."

The feather fan's bone handle was directly crushed by Xu Mu, but his face quickly calmed down, he put down the reporting soldier, cupped his hand to Yang Minggui, and said: "Commander Qu, something bad is going on. The Heavenly King's Palace may be damaged by thieves. , and also asked Commander Qu to quickly mobilize troops to return reinforcements."

Hearing this, Yang Minggui looked panicked. Except for leaving some people to guard the group of civilians, he hurriedly led people to help the city.

But it was still too late, because the place where the thick smoke rose was in the direction of the Heavenly King's Palace.

In an instant, Yang Minggui's eyes turned blood red, because he knew that a fire would probably waste his efforts, and he roared: "Fight the fire, put out the fire quickly."

However, the city was full of murderous civilians. Spy Yi led these civilians to set fires everywhere. Yang Minggui's people were also stopped, and the two sides started a shopping spree.

"Die!" Yang Minggui could be said to be furious. The billowing smoke seemed to have swallowed up his sanity and made him go crazy. He directly crushed the head of a civilian husband with his bare hands, and the bright red blood And white things are splashing everywhere.

"Kill me." Xu Mu led [-] Heavenly Master Army soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding spears to form a battle formation and advance towards the Heavenly King's Palace.

Cui Shuang knew that Tianwang Palace was Qu Shuai's rival, so he didn't dare to show any signs of neglect. He swung the big sword in his hand so fast that the civilians in front of him fell down one after another like wheat.

The peasants were no better than a mob, and they were all so hungry that they could not even lift a pickaxe.

Watching fellow villagers and companions fall one after another, I couldn't help but feel panic in my heart.

At this time, the Tianshi Army's military formation had already collided with them. The violent impact caused a devastating blow to the civilians in the front row. The civilians in the first three rows were almost wiped out.

With just one attack, the group of civilians were defeated and fled in all directions.

The arrows fell, and they fell into a pool of blood one after another.

Xu Mu did not stop and led his soldiers towards the Heavenly King's Palace.

However, it was already too late. Almost half of Nuoda's Heavenly King's Palace was submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

Yang Minggui, who arrived later, saw this scene and his heart was bleeding, but he still ordered the people below to put out the fire.

However, the fire was so strong that the water poured over it was only a drop in the bucket.

It was a hot autumn day, the weather was dry, and the fire spread too quickly. If it continued like this, the entire Heavenly King Palace would be burned to the ground in less than half an hour.

"Tick."

At this moment, a drop of water fell on Yang Minggui's head.

He looked up, and another drop of water quickly fell into his eyes, causing him to close his eyes.

Soon, there were more and more water drops, no, raindrops.

"It's raining, Qu Shuai, it's raining." Cui Shuang raised his hand to catch the raindrops.

The sky, which had been gloomy for a long time, began to rain down at this moment.

The rain fell harder and harder, gradually extinguishing the huge fire.

But there was no smile on the faces of Yang Minggui and Xu Mu.

Because according to the construction period, the Tianwang Hall should be completed years ago, but now more than half of it has been burned down. After cleaning up and re-construction, it is estimated that it will not be completed by the end of next spring.

"Kill, kill for me, kill them all." The anger in Yang Minggui's heart needed blood to wash away.

Cui Shuang knew that Yang Minggui was angry and didn't dare to stop him. He glanced at Xu Mu next to him and saw that Xu Mu didn't say anything, so he took his people and followed suit.

"Boom"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

A bloody massacre unfolded in Xia Lin City.

The wails and screams were not even covered by the thunder in the sky.

Even the heavy rain could not wash away the red blood poured on the ground.

Xu Mu's whole body was soaked by the rain. He reacted and dissuaded Yang Minggui, saying: "Shuai Qu, we can't kill anymore. If we continue to kill, we will have to let our own people build the Palace of the Heavenly King."

It is also a blessing in misfortune.

The granary in the city was heavily guarded. Even if troops were deployed to set up an ambush in the barracks, the soldiers in the granary were not evacuated, so the granary was not burned.

……

October [-]th.

A night of rain washed Guangming County into a new look.

After the rain, the sky clears, and the sunshine is so beautiful.

On the school grounds, Chen Mo held the roll call in his hand and looked around at the soldiers who were guarding the formation. He then lowered his head and looked at the roll roll and said: "Military discipline inspection, Colonel Zhao came out and recited Article [-] of the military discipline."

Hearing Chen Mo's words, a soldier in the trapped camp took a step forward and recited: "When facing the enemy in battle, if a private retreats and kills the private, if the leader retreats, only the leader will be killed. If the leader does not retreat and the private retreats, he will be killed." , resulting in the death of the team leader and the execution of all the soldiers.

If the whole team retreats, only the captain will be killed. If the captain refuses to retreat and the soldiers in the team retreat first, resulting in the death of the captain, the entire team leader will be killed. "

"Article [-] of military regulations." Chen Mo said.

Schoolmaster Zhao: "If you don't obey the superiors, if you don't obey the orders, you won't stop prohibiting them. If you don't obey the superiors, you will kill civilians and behead them for taking credit."

"You recited it well. Remember, Colonel Zhao will give you a meal of meat." Chen Mo said.

There will be records written by the accompanying scribes after his death.

Colonel Zhao returned to the queue, and Chen Mo selected a few more people to recite the military regulations. However, most of them could only recite it with difficulty, and some even couldn't remember it at all. So on the school field, these soldiers who did not remember the military discipline began to run in circles.

"It's been a week, and there are still people who can't recite the military regulations. I'll give you three more days. If there are still people who can't recite it, and if one person in a group can't memorize it, the whole group will be punished, and one group in the group will be punished. After a few seconds, the whole team was punished!"

Chen Mo shouted.

Several of these military laws were newly added by Chen Mo, who were inspired by Qi Jiguang's military discipline. Since the Qi family army can do it, it proves that this military discipline is reasonable.

"No." Everyone responded.

In the past half month or so, the trapped camp has been almost reorganized by Chen Mo. Among them, Chen Mo has appointed the soldiers of the Divine Guard to serve as the team leader, deputy captain, captain, and squadron leader in the trapped camp.

"County Magistrate, the military newspaper and the urgent dispatches from above have arrived." At this time, Han Wu hurried over.

Chen Mo looked at the urgent message first. This urgent message came from the main battlefield of Fengzhou and came from the general camp of the Tianshi.

According to the letter, the Heavenly Master dispatched troops from all directions to reinforce Yuzhou.

Among the four armies, there was only one Dafang, and the others were all small, with a total of [-] troops.

Equipped with large baggage, such as catapults, siege engines, and crossbows.

Among the four armies, Lu Yonggang, the commander of Dafangqu, was the commander, and the other three small Fangqumarshals and Yang Minggui were deputy generals, obeying Lu Yonggang's orders.

The four armies are expected to arrive in Yuzhou before October [-]th.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. Judging from this posture, he wanted to completely capture Yuzhou before winter.

Chen Mo ordered Han Wu to notify the squadron leader and squad leader below to come to the military tent to discuss matters.

While waiting, Chen Mo read the military newspaper.

As the name suggests, it is the Di newspaper published internally by the Tianshi Army, which records the major and minor events that occurred in the Tianshi Army during this period.

Compared with the imperial newspaper, it is very different.

Take one of them as an example. The Celestial Master Army’s newspaper all recorded things that were beneficial to the Celestial Master Army. There was not a single bad thing. They were all about winning battles.

The court newspaper will record some bad things after all.

This move of the Heavenly Master Army was entirely to report good news but not bad news.

Chen Mo himself laughed at the things about him.

In total, he annihilated and captured only more than [-] people.

But in the Di newspaper, it doubled.

Kill five thousand enemies and capture six thousand.

Coupled with some words of praise, he was described as a "sixth grade" warrior as an extremely brave god of war.

Better than himself.

In the letter he originally reported to Yang Minggui, he only said that he had captured [-] people.

On October [-], Chen Mo received another letter from Yang Minggui.

The letter stated that Chen Mo should replace him as deputy general and attend the meeting of the four armies. He also specifically confessed that he was ill and had withdrawn from Yuzhou.

The corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly, asking himself to lie for him at this time.

You've never been to Yuzhou, so why did you withdraw from Yuzhou because you were sick?

But Yang Minggui told him this, and he still had to tell this lie.

In the afternoon of the same day, he received a letter from Lu Yonggang. The letter was written to Yang Minggui, inviting Yang Minggui to meet in Quyang Town before October [-]th. He didn't know how Yang Minggui operated it, but the letter was in Chen Mo's hands. .

Chen Mo took out the map and found the location of Quyang Town on it.

To the west of Guangming County, the straight-line distance is less than fifty miles.

However, Yuzhou is very mountainous, and there is a big mountain in the middle. Therefore, if he wants to go to Quyang Town, Chen Mo has to take a detour, which will delay him for a few more days.

But all in all, there is still enough time.

The next morning, it was still dark.

In the wing room in the backyard of Guangming County Yamen.

Chen Mo opened his eyes on time and felt heavy on his body because Xia Zhining lay directly on his chest and slept soundly. He wanted to get up, but found that...

He rubbed his forehead and remembered that he was too tired last night, and Xia Zhining... arrived at the back.
  Morning is when a person is most energetic.

He hugged her tightly and was really reluctant to get up, but it was impossible not to get up. He had to leave for Quyang to meet up today. If he was late, he might miss the time.

Chen Mo took a breath, and then there was the sound of a red wine bottle being opened in the room. Xia Zhining also woke up. After a moment of confusion, she immediately pushed Chen Mo away, her face turning red.

"We are an old married couple, and we are still very shy." Chen Mo kissed Xia Zhining's forehead.

"So-and-so is with an old couple." Xia Zhining said angrily.

She is not even a concubine now, but she is still an old married couple?

Chen Mo had business, so he didn't make trouble with her. After patting the millstone, he got out of bed, dressed and washed.

As soon as they arrived at Chenshi, the three guards set off and left Guangming County.
