The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 722
The battle is becoming more and more stalemate, but the situation is gradually tilting towards the defenders of Qingyang City.The defenders, who were already in a weak position, became more and more courageous as they fought, causing the Dongyang Army to collapse frequently.

According to the description of the soldiers who survived climbing the city, behind the defenders of the other side, there was a dense crowd of people, including the elderly, children, and even women.When they saw so many enemy troops, they were frightened and lost their guard, and were quickly beaten back by the defenders.

When Zhu Shengtunyuan heard the words, he couldn't help screaming and cursing, and his determination to massacre the city was further strengthened.These people in the city must die.

After repelling a wave of offensives with difficulty, the city defenders almost collapsed on the city wall from exhaustion.Those young and strong people who had no combat experience before have gradually matured in this battle after battle, and they are no longer panicked like before.

When they were about to take a break, a group of old and weak women and children immediately rushed up from the city and handed them food.Clean up the blood on their bodies and move away the corpses all over the ground.The children built a fire beside them to keep warm, and listened adoringly to the defenders bragging about the battle just now.

When the old man found his son, he took the weapon in his hand and sharpened the blade for them.While listening to the old woman's greetings to her son, a gratified smile appeared on her face.When he was about to leave, he solemnly handed over the weapon to his son, trembling and said, fight hard and go home alive.

The wife leaned in her husband's arms, crying out her fears.At this time, the husband could only comfort his wife, reassuring that he would be fine.Then I hugged my children and touched their faces over and over again, for fear that I would never be able to touch or see them again.

At the same time, there are father and son who are also on the battlefield, snuggling up to each other.The father told his son over and over again what needs to be paid attention to on the battlefield.Pick up his weapon and look through it carefully. If there is any damage, immediately replace your own weapon.If the son refuses, he will definitely be kicked by his father.

However, there were also family members who found their relatives who had died in battle, and immediately wept, and under the comfort of everyone, they silently carried away their relatives' bodies and went home.Not long after, a group of people in plain clothes suddenly appeared in the logistics team.

The brief reunion only lasted for more than an hour, and the Dongyang Army launched an attack again.The defenders hurriedly "drive off" the family members from the city wall and once again stand on the top of the city.

It wasn't until night fell that the Dongyang Army's offensive stopped.

In the early hours of the morning, Ma Wan and Duan Xiao reappeared in Ren Ping's tent.

"General, according to the report from the secret sources lurking in the gentry, at four o'clock tonight, the gentry headed by the Tian family are planning to steal the city gate and support the Dongyang army." Ma Wan said in a calm voice.

"Oh, is the information accurate?" Ren Ping's expression froze and he asked in a deep voice.

"After many verifications, it is absolutely true." Ma Wan raised her head, "General, should we act first?"

"If you want to do something, my blood guard will do my part." Duan Xiao said coldly, "General, I will lead people to raid the Tian family right now."

"No, the other party hasn't gathered yet, and if they act rashly, they will only scare the enemy." Ren Ping thought for a moment, and then flatly refused, "We still have time, we will make some arrangements first, and we will catch them all in one go."

At this moment, a group of people are gathering in Tian Mansion.

Tian Qi, the head of the Tian family, looked at the crowd with a solemn expression, "Everyone, you and I are the dark sons arranged by the Cao family in Qingzhou. Today, an order was sent from the opposite side, asking me to activate the internal response tonight and open the city gate. The time is tonight Four watch, you wait to get ready as soon as possible."

"Patriarch Tian, ​​the city gate is heavily guarded now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make a surprise attack." A Patriarch said in embarrassment.

"Hmph, this old man has already prepared for this matter." Tian Qi sneered, "At that time, the whole city will be in chaos and rumors will spread, so we can take advantage of the chaos."

"Patriarch Tian, ​​now that Tianhua occupies a favorable location and people, it may be possible to defend the city. If we do this, if we make a mistake, we may be burned." Another Patriarch hesitated.

"Oh, what are you worried about? Why don't you tell them all, and let's discuss it together?" Tian Qi smiled and asked in a harmonious voice.

Sure enough, another Patriarch immediately said, "Patriarch Tian, ​​Tianhua is the most powerful in today's world, and may even have the power to dominate the world. I feel that we should probably not get involved in the dispute, so as not to cause disaster for the family."

"Yes, Dongyang is still a foreign race after all. If we open the door and steal, how will we gain a foothold in the Central Plains in the future?" A patriarch said in a deep voice, "To put it bluntly, it is a big mistake for His Majesty to cooperate with Dongyang this time. Wrong."

Everyone expressed their opinions one by one, and after finishing speaking, Tian Qi couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "You guys are right, you really have insight. But..."

At this moment, a group of men in black suddenly poured in from outside the lobby, with big knives in their hands, staring at the Patriarchs coldly.

"Patriarch Tian, ​​you, what do you mean?" Everyone was frightened by the sudden appearance of the man in black, and they all exclaimed.

"Hmph, you Patriarchs, at this moment, dare to be half-hearted and disloyal to His Majesty." Tian Qi snorted coldly, "The matter is of great importance, I have to keep you here, so as not to leak the secret. Wait until you are defeated After Tianhua, the old man will escort you to the capital and leave it to His Majesty to decide."

"You, Tian Qi, how dare you?" The Patriarchs couldn't help shouting, "You are asking for your own death, why bother me?"

"Hey, if the main force of China today is trapped in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the entire Qingzhou army is extremely empty." Tian Qi sneered, "Dongyang's occupation of Qingzhou is a foregone conclusion, and we have to do this for the sake of the family. With its city destroyed and slaughtered, it is still a Why don't you borrow the lives of the people in the city to give my family a way out. Since you are so ignorant of current affairs, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Come, invite these Patriarchs down."

After the rebellious patriarchs were taken down, Tian Qi smiled and said to the rest of the people: "Now, we are all our own people, everyone, tonight four watch, we will..."

After the arrangement was completed and everyone had dispersed, Tian Qi invited a man in black and respectfully said: "My subordinates pay homage to Commander."

The man in black sat on the main seat, raised his head, gave him a cold look, and said in a hissed voice, "You did a good job. Your Majesty will never forget your contribution."

"Your Majesty's grace is great, and this subordinate is just doing his duty." Tian Qi showed a flattering smile.

"Well, very good. Remember, your people are responsible for capturing the city tonight. My officers are responsible for creating civil strife in the city." The man in black said in a deep voice, "The Tianhua army is very vigilant, you must do it." To be cautious and quick, we only have one chance, if we fail, you and I will die, understand?"

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Tian Qi replied solemnly with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

After Tian Qi was waved back, the man in black couldn't help murmuring: "I don't know if the other party's blood shadow guards have already noticed this? If they are noticed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed. No, we will wait." We need to find a way out so we can get out."
