The second time, this is the second time in two years.

The capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was once again under the enemy's troops. On the city, the Song army blew the horn and beat the war drums. There was a panic at the top of the city. Everyone in the Song Dynasty was in danger, everyone was frightened, and the morale of the army was floating.

Almost all of them had experienced the Ming army's siege before, but they were not necessarily soldiers at that time.

However, the terrifying momentum of the Ming army besieged at that time and the terrifying military formation that could not be seen at first sight were indeed deeply memorable.

There are well railings on all sides, tall chariots like city walls, and various types of collisions, chariots, wooden curtains, etc. The army surrounded the city walls like locusts, and there was no possibility of completely defeating them.

That terrible sense of pressure is still fresh in memory of many people.

And this time, another enemy army came to the city again, the second time in two years, which was ridiculous.

What's even more ridiculous is that the Southern Song Dynasty was originally an attacking party, but it was defeated and pushed to the capital and the core area of ​​the empire by someone. This situation made many people feel that something in their hearts suddenly shattered, disappeared, and disappeared.

Are we really a great country?

Can the Song Dynasty court really persist?

Can we still win?

Ordinary people may not think so, but many scholars, generals, civil servants, who have a little knowledge, really think about this.

How long can the Song Dynasty last?

No one knows.

When Zhao Xing learned that the rebels from Jiangnan West Road had already arrived at the city, he collapsed on the chair powerlessly, looking out of the palace in disbelief, and trembled uncontrollably.

The second time, the second time, this is the second time that the enemy has been attacked by the city!

He has been an emperor for less than two years and was twice under the enemy's army to the imperial capital. What the emperor has done is unprecedented, right?

Zhao Xing even shrank weakly and curled himself on the throne, not accepting anyone's visit, but just shrank alone, feeling endless pain and fear.

It would have been better if he had escaped with Zhao Gou before, than enduring pain and fear in Lin'an City, wouldn't it?

For a moment, this bold idea filled Zhao Xing's mind, making him yearn for and desire.

He didn't want to stay here alone and helpless, and didn't want to endure severe pain here. He wanted to leave here, he wanted to feel safe and had a peaceful sleep.

He suddenly felt that he could understand Zhao Gou.

Why is Zhao Gou so morbidly pursuing security and so pathologically terrified of all threats?

I think it has something to do with some of his early experiences.

Zhao Xing never felt that he would become the same person as Zhao Gou. He felt that he could transcend and rise up strongly, but in the end he was sad to find that he was moving closer to Zhao Gou.

In the previous wave, many officials had already escaped from Lin'an City. After the army reblocked Lin'an City, Zhao Xing learned that the number of officials in the court had decreased by one-fifth, which means that one-fifth had already escaped by himself with quick eyes and quick hands.

The rest of them are not dared to be loyal ministers. Perhaps they are just too slow to escape and catch up with the Lin'an blockade before they can escape.

Zhao Xing was not sure how many people could fight for him to the end, or even die for him, or how many people would eventually abandon him and surrender to Su Yonglin's Ming Dynasty.

He even had a strong sense of déjà vu.

He is going to be the king of the devastated country.

More and more intense panic swept around him, making him feel like a survivor riding a small boat in the surging sea.

Maybe in the next second, you will be swept by the surging sea water, and you will never see the sun again, and you will be suffocated to death.

He didn't know when the army outside the city would launch an attack, nor did he know when the defenders in the city could last. He only knew that as an emperor, his life would be rewritten.

Will he be taken to the cold city of Five Kingdoms like those seniors decades ago and endure the shame brought by the separation of his wife and children and the humiliation?

No, he can't accept it. If that's the case, he'll commit suicide!

I guess so……

Zhao Xing tightened his body more and more, waiting for his ending in panic.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the extreme panic made Zhao Xing feel as if he was being roasted on fire.

However, the news he received in the end was not what he imagined.

"Your Majesty, the thief army retreated..."

The Prime Minister of the Empire, Ye Yiwen, came to the palace with inexplicable emotions and told Zhao Sheng the news.

At first, Zhao Xing thought he had heard it wrong, but it was not until Ye Yi asked repeatedly that he realized that he had heard it wrong.

The joy at that moment made Zhao Xing almost crazy.

But the subsequent development was also beyond his expectations.

That "thief army" was not defeated, but retreated by itself.

They marched around Lin'an City, ran three times, and then raised a flag at the entrance of the west gate of Lin'an City, and the entire army quickly left Lin'an City and headed southwest.

The Song army, who was inexplicably terrified, didn't even dare to see what was going on at first. They thought they would go and fight back with the main force, so they didn't dare to leave the city.

Until the sun set, they saw that there was no movement around them, so they rewarded the brave soldiers with a large sum of money to check the situation.

There were indeed brave men under the heavy reward. After the six "brave" Song army pawns got the money, they took their horses and were put down on the city by ropes. They touched the flag and put away the chess piece.

They didn't recognize words and didn't know what was written on it. They just put it away and then rushed in different directions.

After nightfall, all six people came back. The news they brought back was that within the range they were investigating, there was no trace of a thief army in Lin'an City within a radius of more than ten miles.

The bandits disappeared.

Then one of the soldiers took out the flag that he had put away and handed it to the city lord Yang Ci.

Yang Ci opened the flag and looked at it, and his face suddenly became very strange.

He ordered the soldiers not to relax their vigilance, and ordered money to recruit more warriors to go out of the city to investigate the news.

Then he found Ye Yiwen, who was responsible for coordinating the city's defense, and handed the flag to Ye Yiwen.

After Ye Yi asked, he looked weird.

"There is indeed no thief army outside the city?"

"There is no trace within a radius of more than ten miles. Even further away, I will send someone to investigate. There is no news yet."

"Isn't this a scam?"

"This...if this is a fraud, it would be too..."

Yang Ci couldn't speak.

Ye Yi asked, but couldn't figure out why.

Until the next morning, it was dawn and the "warriors" sent by the Song army came back. They had searched more than twenty miles in a radius and found no trace of the enemy.

The enemy army that had traveled around the city three times disappeared.

Ye Yiwen took out the flag and looked at it again, and his heart gradually became filled with a strange emotion.

He went to the palace to liberate the emperor Zhao Sheng, who was suffering from pain, but then brought him news that made him even more uncomfortable.

Zhao Sheng took the flag and saw that it said [Xu Tong, the commander of the Second Division of the Peasant Army on Jiangnan West Road, and his 4,000 warriors under him came to Lin'an City for a trip, wishing Zhao Guan's family good luck].

Oh, the military horn of that army turned out to be the peasant army.

This is Zhao Xing’s first feeling.

The second division commander Xu Tong and his warriors were 4,000... Oh, there were only 4,000 people coming.

This is Zhao Xing’s second feeling.

Did they come to Lin'an City for a trip?

This is Zhao Xing’s third feeling and a big problem.

Four thousand people came to Lin'an City?

Four thousand people came from Jiangnan West Road to Lin'an City?

They used 4,000 people to penetrate the heart of the Song Dynasty, and then fought all the way to the city of Lin'an?

During this period, all the actions of the Song Dynasty failed to stop them from moving forward?
