Chapter 455: The Building Will Fall (Part 1)
"Huang Tian is here, please bless Yunxuan! My Yan family has always been a single lineage, so please be sure to bless this time. The kind man Yan Keran kowtowed again and again!" Yan Keran kowtowed to the east sky outside the mansion and kept kowtowing to the sky in the east. This was the moment when the sunset was flying, and the bright red dyed the sky.
Behind Yan Keran stood a group of maids with anxiety on their faces. On the one hand, they were concerned about the situation in the bedroom, and on the other hand, they wanted to speak out and stopped. A more shrill moan came from the bedroom, and each sound stabbed the maids' ears, which hurt so much that Yan Keran's heart.
"Please let me bear any sins in the past. Please bless the mother and son with peace!" Yan Keran did not dare to get up at all. He kowtowed harder than before, and his forehead was bleeding from the bluestone floor. Yun Xuan was giving birth in the bedroom. This was the crystallization of their love, this was the first child of their two children, and this was the most critical moment. It has been nearly an hour since Yun Xuan fell to the point of being in and out. The stable women were busy in and out, but they never heard the baby's cry. Only Yun Xuan's painful moans could hear. How could this not make Yan Keran feel heartbroken?
"Oh my God, have you heard my prayers? When the national crisis comes, Yun Xuan gave birth to a child, it really makes me feel happy and worried. As long as I can protect their mother and son, I am willing to pay any price, even if I am willing to live!
Yan Keran closed his eyes, closed his hands and kept silently reciting. As soon as he finished silently reciting, he heard a loud cry. He suddenly turned around and looked towards the direction of the bedroom. He didn't know if he had heard it wrong for a moment. The first cry followed by the second and third cry, and the cry that could not stop was heard at all began to resound inside and outside the bedroom.
I heard it correctly! I heard it correctly! Yan Keran jumped up from the ground and rushed to the door of the bedroom for a few steps. He happened to meet a woman from Wen. He opened the door and handed the child in his arms to Yan Keran with exhausted joy. He kept congratulating: "Congratulations to the prince consort, congratulations to the prince consort, he is a son!"
Yan Keran hurriedly glanced at the son in his arms, with rosy skin, closed eyes, and cried loudly. He couldn't help but reach out and touched him for a moment. He didn't dare to use his strength, for fear of knocking the little thing down. However, what Yan Keran was even more worried about was Yun Xuan. After seeing his son, he immediately ran to Yun Xuan's bedside and saw Yun Xuan sweating profusely and smiling at him weakly.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Yan Keran held Yun Xuan's hand and took away the wet hair on her forehead. Seeing her bloodless appearance, Yan Keran felt very distressed and even shed tears.
"Look at you, you are the prince consort of the dynasty. There are so many people outside, and it's not appropriate to cry like this." Yun Xuan said weakly, and it made her very troublesome to say this. Yan Keran hurriedly signaled her not to speak anymore, "You have to rest well now and don't say anything. I'm crying of joy. As long as you mother and son are safe, I don't care whether the prince consort is suitable or not!"
"But I care. Foreign enemies siege the city. At this time, I want you to be distracted and take care of you..."
"Yunxuan, don't talk nonsense. I am your husband. I will naturally protect you at such an important moment. If this is the case, how can I talk about couples? Yunxuan, you have worked too hard these days. I have devoted most of my energy to the city defense and ignored you. I will be at home with you today."
"The country is always greater than the family. You are not only my husband, but also Daliang's son-in-law and the commander of the Imperial Guard. You carry this country on your shoulders. The country's power is too tense, so you should go
Well, everything is in the house."
"Yun Xuan!"
Yun Xuan gently placed her hand on Yan Keran's lips, shook her head and pushed him hard. Yan Keran slowly stood up, he stroked Yun Xuan's face again, then turned around and left, and kissed her newborn son before leaving.
Yun Xuan signaled Wenpo to carry his son to her side. She stroked her forehead and tears immediately fell down. Wenpo and his maids were so scared that they knelt down quickly. Yun Xuan ignored them, and she looked at her son's heart.
At this time, the capital was indeed inseparable from Yan Keran. The army of the Lower Tang had surrounded the southeast of the capital, and the remaining west was the army of Xiliang. The capital was besieged by foreign enemies for the third time in less than three years. Some of the people in the capital were still optimistic about this. After all, the first two times were so dangerous. Didn’t they all go through the danger in the end? This time should be no exception.
"Is that so? Can you really escape the disaster of destroying the country like the last two times?" Du Shaoyin asked back.
"At least the people prayed so much, although I was not optimistic." Su Qian said: "How much insider can ordinary people know? All they can do is pray, but we all understand that this battle is not so easy to fight."
"Su Qian, most of the merchants in the capital have transferred their family property after getting the news in advance. You didn't do anything." Shen Ming asked Su Qian. Su Qian opened the folding fan and smiled leisurely without answering immediately. Instead, Du Shaoyin explained: "Senior brother, I asked him this question last time. The Su family is worthy of being the richest businessman in Daliang. Not only is it rich enough to compete with the country, but it is quite willing to serve the country."
Su Qian turned the folding fan back, and asked the two with a serious face, "If this battle can be won, it will be a happy thing. What if it is defeated? Once the Tang people go down to the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable. If this is true, what are you going to do?"
Shen Ming did not answer immediately, and Du Shaoyin blurted out without thinking deeply, "I am from Liang. The first priority that Master taught us for seven years in the academy is the responsibility of the family and country, and death in battle is also my glory!"
"Where is Senior Brother Shen?"
"We both said that if we were light, we were ordinary people, and if we were severe, we were wanted criminals in the court. Our lives were not worth much, so what decision did the Su family make?"
Shen Ming threw the problem back to Su Qian, who was still not in a hurry and said slowly: "The changes in dynasties are normal. As long as we act according to the situation, the result will naturally not be too bad. It is getting late, so I have to go home early, and the Su family has to organize their own guards. Everyone has the responsibility to defend their country when the national crisis is approaching!"
"This guy always speaks so foggy. In my opinion, it's just a pretentious and mysterious thing. Fortunately, these two sentences are reasonable, so I won't bother with him." Du Shaoyin looked at Su Qianyuan and said casually.
But Chen Ming didn't think so. He frowned. In Du Shaoyin's opinion, it must be for the current situation of internal and external troubles.
"Internal and external troubles, internal and external troubles!" Zhang Huaiyuan kept chanting these few words. This stall didn't care about the rolling eyes of others. He kept following Dan Tai Wengu and asked, "General Dan Tai, how sure is the God Killing the Cavs?"
Dan Tai Wengu has been busy all these days, so he has carefully divided the 50,000 elite soldiers who have reorganized the 50,000 elite soldiers in the east and south of the capital city, respectively, and handed over to Ou Luyang and
Leading by Huo Qing, Ou Luyang guarded three city gates, and Huo Qing guarded two city gates; the other 10,000 cavalry were commanded by himself to rush back and forth on the east and south sides. According to this triple defensive mode, if reinforcements could arrive on time, he was confident that he could still hold on for a few days.
As for the three city gates in the north, they were handed over to Yan Keran's Imperial Guard. Originally, the responsibility of the Imperial Guard was to defend the imperial city, but the troops in the capital were empty, Yan Keran could only free up most of the troops to garrison the Xiliang army in the north. According to the information obtained before, this time, Xia Tang came out in full swing and sent 200,000 troops to besiege the capital. In comparison, Xiliang was obviously unsatisfactory, with only 30,000 troops, and it seemed that they were just watching the fun.
Facing the 200,000-double Tang army's god-killing cavalry, everyone was so nervous that they couldn't sleep, especially Huo Qing. When he took the Chiyun Armor from Dan Tai Wengu, he felt a little like a different life. Chiyun Armor is a second-class armor, which is not something that everyone can wear. In Daliang, he must at least be the commander of the guard, and Huo Qing is just a small lieutenant.
Huo Qing's trembling take over the Chiyun Armor means that he has taken on this heavy and dangerous responsibility. Without Dan Tai Wengu saying too much, Huo Qing understands that once he is ordered to station in the south, it means directly facing the attack of 200,000 enemy troops, and he has only 20,000 people in his hands. One of the ten is such a huge contrast. This seems to be a battle that will surely die.
The seven-year teaching of Qingshan Academy made Huo Qing never refuse anyway. This is not only a military order, but also a mission as a soldier in Daliang. If the country is in trouble, how can he defend his country if he doesn't even stand up? When Ou Luyang also took over the task of guarding the east, Huo Qing calmed down. He smiled calmly at Ou Luyang in order to give others confidence and courage. However, facing Huo Qing's bright eyes, Ou Luyang looked quite tired, but he just nodded in vain.
"I will bring the last ten thousand troops as your backing! If this battle fails, it will be successful. Please work with me!"
Since that day, Huo Qing has never slept well again. He is no longer the captain of the former school lieutenant. He is the commander and the commander of 20,000 people. This is something Huo Qing has never experienced before. It is said that people's vision increases with his status. After becoming the commander, Huo Qing has become more and more broad-minded in his view of the problem. Facing the enemy ten times that of his own outside the city, Huo Qing made up his mind to guard the situation.
The problem of Fangheng Shao's time when he was studying did not appear in Huo Qing this time. All the knowledge he had learned in his mind was resurrected in just a few days. He accurately used his hands to make several arrangements: the first level was the archers and swords and axes at the top of the outer city. Three teams of archers formed a chain of shooting teams, responsible for shooting continuously; the swords and axes were interspersed among them, each three people were responsible for the ladder and the platform that was leaning up near the female wall. The second level was the hand-to-hand combat elite soldiers in Wengcheng City and the second round of archers at Wengcheng City. Once the enemy attacked Wengcheng, most of the short-term soldiers in the city were killed and they immediately shot and tried to trap the enemy in Wengcheng City. Huo Qing himself stood at Wengcheng City and was responsible for commanding the battle.
