Chapter 160 The troops are approaching the city?

Chapter [-]
  Early the next morning, Ora's general Asizhiyuan immediately ordered a retreat, and Ora's troops quickly retreated.

The defenders of the city all cheered, especially the defenders of Taiyuan Town. This time they really escaped death.

I originally thought that Wala would definitely be able to break Yanmen Pass this time, but unexpectedly, reinforcements came from the capital. In just a few days, they defeated Wala's [-] elite cavalry, forcing the Wala army outside Yanmen Pass to retreat in full.

Lin Cunde, who was in the capital, didn't know what was happening on the front line. After getting up, he still practiced martial arts with his masters. Wang Zhi also came here early every day and returned before dark.

At noon, after Lin Cunde finished eating, he sat in the study and read. Wang Zhi was also reading next to him.

After watching for a while, Wang Zhi looked up at Lin Cunde and asked: "Brother-in-law, there is news from the front line, do you know?"

"What's the news?" Lin Cunde suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Zhi and asked.

"I only found out last night. I heard that Hequ was attacked by the Wala cavalry. All the defenders died in the battle, and the commander also died in the battle!" Wang Zhi said with a heavy tone, looking at Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde immediately arrived in front of a wall in the tea table compartment. There was a map hanging on it. Lin Cunde drew it by himself based on memory and combined with some current maps. It was not very accurate, but it was much more accurate than the maps used by Ming Dynasty.

"Hequ, here!" Lin Cunde found Hequ, looked at the direction of Yanmen Pass, and then sighed, it was almost three hundred miles away!
  Wang Zhi arrived behind Lin Cunde at this moment and said to Lin Cunde: "They said that once Hequ is defeated by Wala, then Wala's cavalry will rush towards Yanmen Pass as fast as possible and assist Wala outside the city to capture Yanmen Pass. As a result, our Ming Dynasty's defense line of at least three hundred miles is vacant, and Oara's army can enter and exit at any time.

It is estimated that they will come to the capital soon, and the battle to defend the capital is expected to be fought again. Now, some people are already preparing to escape to the south! "

"Just run away?" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Zhi in surprise and asked.

"Yes, they are worried that it will be too late. There are even rumors that Oala's army may be less than [-] miles away from the capital!" Wang Zhi continued.

"Impossible, there are so many defenders along the way, it's impossible for Wala's army to be so fast!" Lin Cunde shook his head and said.

"Brother-in-law!" Wang Zhi called Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde turned to look at Wang Zhi and found that Wang Zhi had stopped talking again.

Lin Cunde understands that Wang Zhi is worried about Wang Ying. In fact, Lin Cunde is also worried. Once something happens to Wang Ying, I am afraid that there will be many changes in the court! Not to mention that he and Wang Zhi may encounter more troubles in the future.

"Don't worry, Shibo is fine. The Third Battalion of the Capital has dispatched [-] people, carrying [-] crossbows, and has been training for more than half a year. Even if they encounter tens of thousands of Wala's cavalry, they will still be able to fight. The outcome is still unknown. Yes!" Lin Cunde immediately comforted Wang Zhi and said, in fact, he himself didn't believe this.

"Hey!" Wang Zhi sighed.

Lin Cunde found that Wang Zhi had been really depressed and worried recently, but Lin Cunde had no better way.

Lin Cunde looked at the map for a while and couldn't understand anything. He just prayed in his heart that Wang Ying could win this battle. If he won this battle and defended Yanmen Pass, it would boost morale and the status of the Ming generals. Also, it will be of great help to Zhu Qiyu in controlling the court. If he loses, there will probably be constant trouble.

Lin Cunde returned to the tea table and had no intention of reading anymore. He couldn't help but start thinking about what to do in the future once Wang Ying was defeated?
  The next day, Lin Cunde practiced martial arts and read as usual.

Lin Cunyi would go out to inquire about outside affairs every day, including some rumors from the front line. Lin Cunyi could also hear them.
  "Xiaowu, Xiaowu!" Lin Cunyi knocked on Lin Cunde's study door outside, and Lin Cunde called out and came in.

Lin Cunyi came in, a little anxious, and said anxiously to Lin Cuunde: "Xiaowu, why don't you take the people back to your hometown first? The capital will be breached soon!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde also stood up: "What's going on?"

"There are rumors outside that Oala's cavalry will arrive at the foot of the capital in the near future. It is estimated that there will be another battle to defend the capital. Xiaowu, it is not safe to have so much cash at home. You are taking people with you, as well as the money at home. Guards, run to our hometown, if you are late, it will be too late!" Lin Cunyi walked in front of Lin Cunde and said to Lin Cunde anxiously.

"It can't be so fast. There are so many troops from the guards along the way. They can also hold back Oala's army. Moreover, there is no movement at the court!" Lin Cunde looked at Lin Cunyi, waved his hand and said in his heart. But I'm a little worried. It's been spread like this. Where did their news come from? Faster than news from the court?
  "Xiao Wu, listen to me. You go to the south first. If nothing happens, you can come back. If the Wa La cavalry comes, it will be too late for you to leave!" Lin Cunyi persuaded Lin Cunde again. "Impossible, impossible!" Lin Cunde sat down at this moment. The Third Battalion of the Capital had personally participated in the supervision and training. He knew their combat effectiveness and fighting will. Even the [-] infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion and the cavalry of Wala Even if the whole army is wiped out, thousands of Oala's cavalry will be killed. If they are defending the city, it is completely impossible for Oala's cavalry to break through the defense line of the third battalion of the capital.

"But I heard that Wala's cavalry has broken through from the meander of the river. Everyone in the capital is fleeing. You will know if you go outside and see that the wealthy families in the capital and the families of officials are starting to make arrangements to escape!" Lin Cunyi advised again, he didn't want anything to happen to Lin Cuunde.

At this time, Lin Cunli also came in and said to Lin Cunde: "Xiao Wu, our two families are fleeing now, and they have all set off!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde turned to look at Lin Cunyi. In his memory, it was impossible for Wala's army to reach the bottom of Beijing again in the near future.

"It's impossible, I don't believe it! Moreover, there are more than [-] troops in the Third Battalion of the Capital. If Wala's cavalry comes and the Third Battalion of the Capital enters the city, it is impossible for Wala's cavalry to break through the city of Beijing. Don't worry!" Lin Cunde said to the two of them, while he walked outside.

He wanted to go outside and see if the people were really fleeing.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw someone driving a carriage on the street in front of my house. There were a lot of things piled on the carriage. There were also many carriages in other places. They were running out of the city, hoping that the cavalry in Wala would arrive. Before, I was able to escape Beijing.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" At this time, Xiaozhi also ran over. Xiaozhi was going out this morning to inquire about news, so he ran over now.

"Brother-in-law, do you want to run? Many people have run away now!" Xiaozhi ran to Lin Cunde and asked Lin Cunde anxiously.

"If you don't run away, I don't believe that even if all the soldiers on the front line are killed, the troops of the third battalion of the capital can still defend the city of Beijing. They have a huge number of cavalry. They don't have the ability to attack the city!" Lin Cunde gritted his teeth! He said, not believing in his heart that Wala could be so powerful.

"Yes!" Xiaozhi looked at Lin Cunde anxiously.

"Go to the palace and find out whether there is any latest news from Hequ, especially from the army around Hequ. Also, is there any news from Yanmen Pass in the past two days? If there is no news, Come on, then, Yanmen Pass is still in the hands of our Ming Dynasty. Although Hequ has been broken through by Wala, our Ming army may not have a chance to take it back. There are so many troops around Hequ, and the court will also send troops there. reinforce.

Don't listen to those gossips, go to the palace and ask someone! If you can't find anyone, ask the Queen! I don’t believe that the military equipment of our Ming Dynasty has been ruined to this extent. The generals of our Ming Dynasty have become so greedy for life and fear of death. The generals of the Ming Dynasty’s border army are all people who can conquer and fight. The border army is now our Ming Dynasty The most elite troops! They can't be defeated so soon! Lin Cunde stood there and said through gritted teeth.

Now they are all rumors. Two days ago, Yanmen Pass announced that Hequ was lost. Some officials passed the news on. The people did not understand what was going on and thought that Wala had come to kill again. Therefore, they wanted to escape. That is normal! But if there is no latest news from the front line, it means that the problem is not big. If it is really a big defeat, Zhu Qiyu will definitely convene the ministers to discuss, and it is time to prepare the defense of the capital. There is no movement in the defense of the capital yet. , that means there is nothing wrong.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Wang Zhi immediately headed to the palace after hearing this.

Lin Cunde frowned, feeling a little unsure inside.

At this moment, at Wang Quan's home, Wang Quan was happy but also began to worry. Now his family is also packing up their things and preparing to flee Beijing. They had no chance to escape last year, and they cannot miss this opportunity this time. Everyone said that Zhu Qiyu was definitely It cannot be defended.

"Dad, there is one more thing to do before escaping!" Wang Xi came to Wang Quan's side and reminded Wang Quan in a low voice.

"What's going on?" Wang Quan looked at Wang Xi in confusion.

"The share of soaps and soap workshops, and even the formula, has been breached in several capitals. Whoever holds the formula can make a lot of money. Then we can cooperate with Lin Cunde to make this soap and soap together!" Wang Xi whispered reminded Wang Quan.

"Here, now that I have to escape, why do I want to do this?" Wang Quan didn't want to go. He had already lost the battle on the front line, so it was better to run away at this time.

"Dad, you are confused. If you don't go, someone will go. Even if we come back to the capital again, this soap and soap will have nothing to do with us. If we don't move now, we will have no chance!" Wang Xi He looked at Wang Quan anxiously and said.

When Wang Quan heard it, it made sense.

"Okay, I'll go to Laosi's mansion in the afternoon!" Wang Quan nodded and said after hearing what Wang Xi said.
