Chapter 3599 Rust Blade Ant Crushes

The sun on the new day looks down at the earth.

Luoyang City is like a piece of malt sugar falling on the ground, attracting countless humans like ants, running around and around.

The sun stared at it for a while, and then felt tired. He turned around and found a cloud, lay down and rested.

Working is a day, not working is a day. In this world, one day can live a day.

For humans, the sun every day is new, but for the sun, the things that humans do every day are old...

『Retreat in the inner city!』

Man Chong's face showed deep despair.

The east gate of Luoyang City was broken!

This is not a small fight at the South Gate, but a real Hussar cavalry rushed in along the open city gate!

The black iron-armored cavalry is like a torrent of steel, unstoppable and unstoppable.

This is no longer what Man Chong’s personal combat power, or the elites under his subordinates can resist. Therefore, seeing that he was powerless to turn the world, Man Chong could only order to take Xu Chaoli and other core Cao’s army soldiers to retreat to the inner city of the palace.

Although the emperor was in Xu County, the original inner city of Kyoto in the Han Dynasty was still solid and reliable.

The main hall inside the palace was damaged, but the city wall that had been built for nearly two hundred years cannot be burned by a fire or two.

The inner city of Luoyang City was originally established to consider if there was any problem, the inner door could be locked to protect the safety of the emperor. Therefore, in the layout of Luoyang City, it also occupied the high places in the city. In addition, the city walls that have been continuously repaired for a hundred years have now become the last shelter for the defeated generals such as Man Chong.

The narrow inner city streets and Man Chong deliberately arranged the wreckage of demolished houses, which led to the inability of Zhang Liao's soldiers to carry out their operations.

Zhang Liao's soldiers could follow the streets and drive the Cao army soldiers who were not sure what was happening like chasing rabbits, but there was no good idea for the Cao army scattered soldiers who retreated into the alleys or hid in the houses.

After all, Luoyang City was the original Kyoto of the Han Dynasty. Although the emperor is now in Xu County, the inner city palace still has certain symbolic significance. If it is forcibly attacked and destroyed, it may cause some trouble.

This put Zhang Liao's attack to a certain extent and made Man Chong rarely win a certain amount of time.

However, there is only one time left...

『Advance the palace wall!』

"Guard that corner tower!"

『Looking platform! Lookout platform!』

"The crossbow cart is in the string!"

"Take a stone gate!"

『Quick! Hurry!』

A chaotic and fragmented order is issued.

Man Chong reluctantly maintained the last little order.

Man Chong's palm tightly clamped the Zhuquemen arrow stack, and the moss in the gaps in the blue bricks were oozing juice between his fingers, mixed with blood, as if indicating something...

Perhaps it was like his last fate in Luoyang City?

The more you want to clench tightly, the more it will pass through your fingers?

He didn't know.

Man Chong listened and watched, the chaos inside and outside Luoyang City was like the deepest nightmare.

Why?

He looked at the wolf smoke coming and going in the outer city, and suddenly found that his armor was trembling slightly, perhaps because of the trembling of fear, or perhaps the palace wall under his feet seemed to be resonating with the war drums outside the city.

"Where is Xu Zheng Lie?!"

After leaving the East Gate, Man Chong asked Xu Zheng to deal with the follow-up matters of the East Gate, but why was the East Gate broken by Zhang Liao?

Xu Zhengli is still there.

A good person does not live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years.

Flies, cockroaches and mice are always the first adapters of the environment, and even nuclear radiation cannot stop them from adapting to the new world.

Xu Qiang Lie knelt in front of Man Chong with dirt on his face and blood stained with blood on his body, "Eunuch! The little one... the little one almost couldn't see the eunuch..."

"Say! What happened at the East Gate?" Man Chong's voice contained anger.

Man Chong slapped the battlements of the palace walls, and his wrist guard armor suddenly collapsed a copper nail and rolled into the cracks of the palace walls.

Man Chong didn't care. Maybe even if he saw it, he wouldn't have any good solutions.

It was like Man Chong was facing people like Xu Chaoli.

Man Chong is a poor family, so he is not like other gentry families. He has a vast family of children, and relatives and friends can use it. Therefore, he can only use people like Xu Chaoli as an extension of Man Chong's own authority and control the tentacles of the troops.

However, for officials like Xu Jiao, the so-called laws or military orders are tools for them to make things difficult for ordinary soldiers and soldiers, to gain their own benefits, and to pretend to be powerful.

So Man Chong doesn't know?

It's like not finding the copper nail on the wrist guard collapsed?

No, Man Chong knew about these before...

However, Man Chong felt that as long as Xu Chaoli was loyal to him, it would not matter if he made some minor mistakes occasionally.

After all, it is a terrible thing to be a subordinate without a handle.

He also recorded the crimes of corruption, corruption, etc. of Xu Jiali and others. He felt that if the morale of the army was in turmoil and the soldiers mutiny, they could throw these crimes out at any time and use Xu Jiali's head as a bargaining chip to calm down.

Is this method wrong?

But Man Chong never expected that before he could use these preparatory methods, the situation was out of control.

Xu Zheng kowtowed repeatedly.

The carefully maintained crown on Xu Chaoli's head was crooked, as if it was a broken horn.

Xu Qianli and others who put on their long robe and crown did not enter the city and ate the cabbage as they expected, and then they could become superiors, full of the temperament of high-ranking Han and nobles. On the contrary, because they always spent their thoughts on how to please superiors and how to suppress subordinates, Xu Qianli and others devoted almost all their energy to these aspects. As for their academic or legal improvement...

"The East Gate is completely a problem with the Marquis of Cao Jun!" Xu Zheng came up and turned the blame. "According to the young man's later discovery... he and the thief Wang Yun openly discussed at the city gate..."

"Where are you when the city is broken?" Man Chong asked.

Xu Zheng kowtowed, "The little one is extinguishing the fire in the city... The little one is really doing his best, loyal to the emperor..."

With Xu Zheng's bow, the crooked crown on his head was also shaking. After all, like its owner, he could not support the graceful demeanor of the children of the gentry.

Man Chong stared at the crown on Xu Chaoli's head, and suddenly remembered that he was elected as a filial and honest official in the county. On the first day of his tenure, he was soaked in the sudden heavy rain that he had tilted his robe and his head also collapsed. The wet-soaked straight hem of the gauze was pressed against the backbone, just like the current Xu Chaoli. At that time, the gentry surnames in the hall sat high in the hall, wearing brocade silk robes, and gracefully used a golden knife to pick up the case file he presented.

"Man Xiaolian, do you know what "law" is?" The voice of the gentry's children was like cold rain, penetrated from Man Chong's back into his bone marrow. "The law... in our hands, it is just a dog-taught meat jelly..."

Man Chong hated this statement at that time because the gentry's children meant to make Man Chong feel at ease as his dog.

Now, Man Chong looked down at Xu Chaoli, suddenly feeling that the time and space change, he became the child of the gentry he hated, and the new dog was lying on the ground.

"Encourt! Envoy! The cavalry army appeared at the Xique Gate..."

The sudden shouts and shouts disturbed Man Chong's thoughts.

The howling sound of the arrow also made Man Chong realize that it is not the time to care about these things with Xu Zheng.

"Get up!" Man Chong ordered, "Let's not mention the past! If you can't defend the inner city now, you and I will be fond of you!"

"Yes, yes, small..."

Before Xu Zhengli finished speaking, Man Chong ordered, "Go and tear down all the horse-mounted stones in the inner city and block the gate!"

Xu Zheng agreed repeatedly.

『Go quickly!』

Man Chong glanced at Xu Fuli and turned to Xique Gate.

『Vernie!』

Xu Qiangli looked up slightly and saw Man Chong's robe sweeping over the female wall, bringing up some dark debris, perhaps shattered dust, or perhaps solidified blood scabs, like a pen in the dark, falling footbill.

...

...

The sun hangs in the middle of the sky, emitting heat freely, and seems to be applauding for the battle of the imperial city in Luoyang City on the ground.

But Xu Zhengli felt that it was not good at all.

From midnight yesterday to the present, he never closed his eyes. Fear and panic can temporarily save him from the invasion of the Sandman, but it cannot reduce the accumulation of fatigue.

Until Xu Qiang Li stabbed the ring-headed knife in his hand into the corpse for the third time, he finally realized that he was a waste on the battlefield.

Because he didn't dare to stab a living person at all, even the body of his practice was chosen by his fellow Cao Jun.

This cruel official who used to play tricks on torture instruments was now spasming uncontrollably. The cold sweat secreted from his palms made the handle of the knife slippery, and it seemed difficult to even hold it tightly.

"Sir! Go away! Don't block the way!"

The spits of the elite Cao army guarding the city were sprayed on Xu Jiao's face and on his crown.

Xu Zhengyi hurriedly moved aside, but sprained the crack of the brick on the palace wall, causing him to rush to the ground with a grunt.
