At three o’clock in the morning, there are still a few hours before dawn, the world is a dark, and I can not see my fingers.
Wow~Ze’er, wow~Ze’er ……
A melodious and rapid as if the electric sound of the pigeon whistle broke through the silent night sky, accompanied by the sound of the pigeon whistle, a white feathered grey-headed carrier pigeon broke through the night sky and landed in the pigeon loft at the head of the city, with a folded letterhead tied to the pigeon’s leg.
“A flying slave has returned, it’s a grey headed flying slave, it’s a flying slave from Moling Pass, it also carries an urgent report, quick, quickly send the urgent report to the adults.”
City head pigeon loft perennial care pigeon loft soldiers heard pigeon whistle, found a pigeon flying back to the pigeon loft, when noticed is the south of the city Moling pass cultivated grey head white feather pigeons and also carries the urgent report, panicked from the bosom of a handful of round-grained rice to feed to pigeons, pigeons legs on the urgent report to take down, shouted loudly.
Moling Pass is in the south of Yingtian, one of the portals of Yingtian, the distance between it and Yingtian is about the same as the distance between Jiangning Town and Yingtian, except that Jiangning Town is in the south-west of Yingtian, and Moling Pass is in the south-east of Yingtian.
If Moling Pass sends an urgent report at this time, it must be of great importance. Therefore, the soldiers guarding the dovecote did not dare to be slow.
Soon, the messenger soldier guarding the dovecote received the urgent report from the flying pigeon and dashed all the way to the city gate building.
Zhang Jing, Eunuch He and other officials were resting inside the city gate building, and when the messenger soldier came to deliver the message, they were just sleeping. During the daytime when the Japanese invaders attacked the city, they were highly tensed, but after the Japanese invaders were fought away by the Zhejian army, they were only slightly relieved. The reason why they said they were half relieved was because they were worried that the withdrawal of the Japanese invaders was an illusion, and they were worried that the Japanese invaders retreated in order to confuse Yingtian, so that when Yingtian was relaxed, they could make a comeback and attack the city all of a sudden. In order to prevent the Japanese from attacking Yingtian again, not only were the city gates tightly closed, but even the conscripted people were not disbanded, and they were also highly nervous, and after nightfall, they could not sleep for fear, and did not dare to go to sleep, lest the Japanese attacked when they were asleep. That is the time to Zi Hour, they are also strong not to sleep, until to Yin Hour, they really can not hold out before the case of false sleep.
“Moling Pass’s Feinu emergency report? Quickly present it.”
When Zhang Jing and other officials heard the messenger soldier report the emergency report from Moling Pass, their sleepiness dissipated and they hurriedly called out.
“Moling Pass is the southeastern gateway to Yingtian, the urgent report from Moling Pass, in all likelihood, is related to the Japanese invaders in Shangyu.”Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to comment when the messenger soldier presented the urgent report.
“Who is stationed at Moling Pass?”Eunuch He asked.
“Yingtian Prefect Luo Jieqing and Commander Xu Chengzong are guarding Moling Pass with 1,000 elite soldiers.”Ministry of war right minister Shi Pengfei answered back, mentioned Luo Jieqing and Xu Chengzong, Shi Pengfei straightened his belly, coughed and took credit, “Luo Jieqing know military affairs, allow Wen Yunwu, in the Yingtian Fu has a reputation, Xu Chengzong is a family of military generals, served in Datong in the early years, a number of times to reject the Hu Riders to the south, the leader of the army combat experience. Ahem, the two of them or I recommended last month to the Moling Pass town guards, with the two of them in, Shangyu of the Japanese invaders will certainly be in the Moling Pass touching the head of the blood. At this moment, they sent an urgent report, I think it must be a triumphant song has been played.”
“As the saying goes, Moling came first, then Jinling. Moling Pass has been an insurmountable pass since ancient times, and with a thousand elite soldiers guarding Moling Pass, if the Japanese want to cross the pass, they will have to take off a layer of skin even if they don’t die ……”
“I’ve also heard of the name of Magistrate Luo, whose love of reading military books and knowledge of military affairs has led troops to fight bandits many times. Servant Shi recommended Magistrate Luo to guard Moling Pass, which can be said to know people and make good use of them. Servant Shi said that the triumphal song has been played, I think it is not false.”
As Shi Pengfei’s words trailed off, two officials followed suit and nodded in agreement.
“So, the Japanese have gone to Moling Pass? Then wouldn’t Yingtian be safe for the time being.”The crowd could not help but be overjoyed.
Zhang Jing received the urgent report delivered by the messenger soldier and couldn’t wait to open it and browse through it.
All the officials also watched with attention.
“I hope it’s good news, so that the miscellaneous family can have a good night’s sleep.”Eunuch He crossed his orchid fingers, looked at Zhang Jing, and said slowly.
“Bastard!”
Zhang Jing had just opened the urgent report and glanced at it when he couldn’t help but burst into a rage, slamming the urgent report on the table and cursing through gritted teeth.
Ah?
Seeing Zhang Jing’s sudden outburst of anger, everyone’s faces immediately changed drastically, realising that something was not right, what was coming from Moling Pass was not a triumphant song, but bad news!
Eunuch He panicked and picked up the urgent report, glancing at it, he also couldn’t help but do the same as Zhang Jing, slapping the urgent report on the table and cursing out in a sharp voice, ”These two killers of a thousand daggers! The Japanese have not even reached the bottom of the Moling Pass, and they have abandoned the pass and run away! I will definitely report to His Majesty and punish them severely!”
After cursing, Eunuch He looked at Shi Pengfei slyly, cocked his orchid finger and said sorrowfully, “Just now, Servant General Shi said that they were recommended by you to guard Moling Pass?”
“I, I ……Can’t say it’s me who recommended them, I just, just nominated them. I ……I was also deceived by them ……”
Shi Pengfei stammered.
The people took turns reading the urgent report, and immediately understood the reason why Zhang Jing and Eunuch He were furious, Luo Jieqing and Xu Chengzong, who were guarding Moling Pass, had abandoned the pass and fled, and they hadn’t even seen the shadows of the Japanese yet.
The pressure was back on the head of Yingtian City.
Luo Jieqing and Xu Chengzong abandoned the Moling Pass before the Japanese even reached it! Now the situation is in the hands of the Japanese, they want to turn back to hit Yingtian to hit Yingtian, want to go out of the Moling Pass to the south to go out of the pass to the south!
Now they can’t sleep!
They were afraid that the next second, the Japanese would appear under Yingtian City!
“Everyone, gather your spirits! Keep your eyes open!”A group of generals received orders from their superiors and had to patrol the city walls over and over again, on high alert to prevent the Japanese from suddenly attacking the city on their return.
Yingtian city is highly tense, no matter whether it is an official or a soldier or a commoner, they have not slept a wink of an eye.
In this way, c time, d time ……Until the last darkness before dawn.
The exhausted soldier who hadn’t slept a wink looked at the dawn slowly brewing in the east and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. In the next second, he vaguely heard footsteps, then he saw movement in the southeast direction, staring wide-eyed and looking carefully, then his pupils sharply shrunk, pulling up his voice with a shout, “Someone, there is a large group of people in the southeast direction coming towards Yingtian.
“What? There is a large group of people coming towards Yingtian from the southeast?!”The city walls immediately tensed up.
“Sure enough, there is a large group of people coming.”
“It couldn’t be that the Japanese invaders are killing back again, right?!”
All of them also saw a team coming towards Yingtian one after another, getting closer and closer, and they suddenly panicked and shouted.
Soon, Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, led several officials with a team of elite soldiers, and came over to look at the situation on Zhang Jing’s orders.
Due to the pre-dawn darkness, the crowd on the city wall could not see the team’s flag too clearly, and could only vaguely see that this group of people was not small, with as many as seven to eight hundred people.
“Who are the comers? Stop walking! If you come any closer, you’ll shoot arrows!”One of the generals on the city wall nervously raised his voice and shouted.
