A few days later, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
An army of over ten thousand people, with their horses biting their bridles and their men holding their tongues, advanced quickly and silently.
Hundreds of scouts in front were keeping watch for the army, and they would bypass any villages they encountered.
If they cannot find a way around it, all the merchants and porters they encounter will be detained and taken along with the army.
At the front of the army, a short and broad-shouldered general in armor sat on a tall horse, looking very majestic.
This is Dou Laoliu, one of the early disciples of Qingniu and also a rising star general outside the Great Wall.
Because his troops dared to take the initiative to attack the Di Lu, they gained the loyalty of many elite border troops who had a deep hatred for the Di Lu. Although they had a small number of 10,000 men, they were extremely elite and powerful.
More importantly, Dou Laoliu promoted the belief in the Green Ox Immortal in the army. Wherever the army's flag went, there would be a "mobile temple" of the Green Ox Immortal following.
Therefore, this army also received the care of the Great Immortal Qingniu, and many of them received the teachings and preaching.
This is also the reason why Dou Laoliu dared to take the initiative to attack Di Lu and had more victories than defeats.
This is a surprise force, and it is also the result of Qin He's unintentional planting of flowers that did not bloom, but willows that grew into a shade.
Suddenly, they heard that the Qingniu Immortal Temple in the capital had been burned down. The entire Dou army was filled with righteous indignation. Dou Laoliu raised his arm and called for an attack, and then they entered the pass overnight.
They moved at night and hid during the day, spending several days advancing all the way to the western suburbs.
At this time, a waiter came forward and made a few gestures.
Dou Laoliu quickly raised his hand. Seeing this, the army passed on the gesture one by one and slowly stopped.
After a pause, Dou Laoliu kicked his horse's belly and rode forward, accompanied by dozens of personal guards.
Their horses' hooves were all wrapped in thick straw, making only a slight muffled sound when they stepped on the ground.
After walking a few hundred steps, we passed through a forest.
Ahead, it suddenly becomes clear.
A huge city lies on the distant horizon, and the twinkling lights of fire on the city walls outline its magnificent outline.
Like a giant beast, and also like an abyss.
In front of it, even if Dou Laoliu had ten thousand soldiers at his command, he couldn't help but feel a little insecure.
This was the capital of the Rong and Li dynasties for nearly five hundred years.
It is the heart of the dynasty and even the East.
Dou Laoliu is a descendant of the Qi family army. He has heard the older generation mention the sacredness and prosperity of the capital city countless times.
He had also made great achievements in Lu and was awarded a title in Beijing, so he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
But Dou Laoliu never expected that he would be away from the capital for less than two years.
Tonight, he will decide the fate of this city.
There were 50,000 Shun troops in the city, while he only had 10,000.
This is a shocking gamble.
It’s done, and your name will go down in history.
If you lose, your entire clan will be punished.
The only thing he believed in was the Great Immortal Qingniu.
In this battle, he will fight for the loyalty of the Qi family army and for his own beliefs.
Taking a deep breath, Dou Laoliu silently waved his hand forward, and dozens of scouts received the order and quickly disappeared into the darkness ahead.
Dou Laoliu turned around and sneaked into the woods behind, waiting for the opportunity.
……
"It's midnight, the weather is dry, be careful with candles, and avoid moisture and cold."
In Xicheng, the old clapper who had been unemployed for more than a month started beating the bamboo clapper again and began patrolling the streets again.
A few days ago, Emperor Shun personally led the army out of Beijing. Prime Minister Li Yan issued a prime minister's order to rebuild the government offices in the capital, appease the people, and restore order in the city.
Order is easy to destroy and difficult to rebuild, but the people must feel different.
Therefore, the government offices that directly faced the people at the grassroots level were the first to be restored.
For example, the watchtower room of the Wucheng Bingmasi.
There are only a dozen people in the entire capital city to serve the morning bells, evening drums and night watches. The small number of people means the recovery is fast, and the people of the whole city can hear it, so the effect is immediate.
So, Lao Bangzi, who had been unemployed for more than a month, got his iron rice bowl back at Dashun.
"Boom~~"
At this moment, a dull sound suddenly floated into the ears of the old man.
The old gong player paused in striking the gong. The sound was not unfamiliar to him, on the contrary, it was very familiar.
That was the sound of two thousand-jin iron gates, one outside and one inside the city gate, slowly rising at the same time.
In the past, it would only rise after dawn.
And now, it is the middle of the night.
No matter who is the master of the capital, an iron rule is passed down from generation to generation.
After the gates are closed, anyone who opens the city gates without a token will be treated as a spy and executed immediately, regardless of whether they are the leader or the servant.
If the inner and outer city gates are opened at the same time, they will be treated as rebels and their entire clan will be exterminated.
In a word, at any gate in the capital, only one gate would be opened at night. If both gates were fully opened, it would lead directly to the outside of the city. If there were enemy troops lurking, there would be a danger of flooding the city.
Instinctively, Lao Bangzi took a few quick steps and arrived at Ximen Street.
A hundred steps away, I saw that the inner and outer gates had indeed been raised. There were shadowy figures below and above the city, all of them were men in black clothes, and you could even see corpses lying there.
"Boom~~"
The slight roar grew louder and clearer.
This time, the sound was not from the gate, but from the sound of horse hooves and torches that gradually lit up like fireflies.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"
"kill!"
The next moment, sharp warning sounds and shouts of killing rang out almost simultaneously.
Several rows of cavalry rushed into the city gate like a tide and charged into the city.
The first one held an axe and hammer, like a demon.
"Help me!!"
The old man's eyes widened with fear, he let out a strange cry, turned around and ran away.
What a big deal!
Border soldiers capture the city!
What they wore were the armors of the nine borders of Dali.
The capital city, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, was once again hit by a major turmoil.
Looking down from the sky, the Dou army was in high spirits, holding countless torches and pouring into the city like a tide. They quickly split into two arrows and attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion and the four military camps of the Shun army in the east, west, south and north.
Everything was premeditated.
The two closest military camps in the southwest were still asleep when they suddenly heard the deafening cry of killing and were thrown into chaos. Before they could figure out the situation, the Bean army rushed in like wolves and tigers.
"One hundred thousand border troops have entered the city to quell the rebellion. Surrender and you will be spared! Surrender and you will be spared!"
At the front of the army, dozens of Feiyu warriors dressed in shiny Feiyu uniforms roared in unison.
"One hundred thousand border troops entered the city to quell the rebellion!"
"Surrender and you will be spared! Surrender and you will be spared!"
When the Dou army heard this, they also followed suit and shouted.
The Shun army was caught off guard and the situation became even more chaotic. Some took up weapons to resist, some lay on the ground and surrendered, and some rushed forward with their heads covered in an attempt to break out.
Soon, the two Shun army camps were littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.
The rest were terrified and dropped their weapons, kneeling down and throwing themselves at him.
The Bean Army confiscated the weapons, left some people to guard the prisoners, and then attacked the two military camps in the east and north.
The other two military camps took advantage of this time to react, organized their troops, and were heading towards the southwest to provide support.
The two sides met halfway and fierce street fighting broke out.
The Dou army is elite, but there are only more than 8,000 of them.
The Shun army's combat effectiveness was slightly weaker, but it still had nearly 30,000 people.
"kill!"
Dou Laoliu took the lead and led his personal guards to fight hard.
When attacking a city by surprise, speed is key. The longer the delay, the easier it is for the enemy to gain a foothold.
The Shun army was no match for Dou Laoliu and was immediately defeated and killed.
But no matter how brave Dou Laoliu is, he can only fight his way through.
At this moment, on all the streets of the capital, the two armies were fighting against each other.
"Flying Fish Guard, kill the enemy!!"
In a certain street, dozens of Feiyu Guards suddenly appeared from the rooftops, holding powerful crossbows, and rained down a torrential downpour of pear-shaped crossbow arrows on the Shun army.
The Shun army suddenly fell down like wheat being harvested.
The bean army took advantage of the situation and advanced.
And such scenes continue to occur throughout the city.
"Whoosh!"
An embroidered spring sword slashed across, beheading a Shun army general.
This is Wei Yuanji taking action. With his internal strength at the peak, he can almost kill with one strike on the battlefield.
But soon the Shun army retaliated, and bird guns, hand cannons, bows and arrows were fired at Wei Yuanji, causing bricks and stones to fly everywhere.
Wei Yuanji rolled over to avoid it and rushed to the next place.
"The Li army is entering the city!"
"The Li army has fought back!"
"Kill the thieves! Drive them out!"
At the same time, as the war intensified, many civilians who had reacted quickly joined the fight against the Shun army.
Some of them were disciples of the Qingniu Sect, some were retired soldiers and generals, and more of them were ordinary people who had been severely harmed by the Shun army.
Carrying hatred, they called on their friends and gathered together, from a few to more than a dozen, and then quickly to a hundred. Among them were many Qingniu disciples who led the way, those with strength killed the enemy, and those with less strength led the way for the Dou army to enter the city and outflank the resisting Shun army.
After a while, more and more people joined in and the group became bigger and bigger.
The actions of the Shun army after their surrender in the capital were deeply hated by everyone, from officials and wealthy families to the poor.
An hour later, the Shun army gradually could not hold out and began to retreat.
