A few days later, the moon and stars became sparse.

A large army of tens of thousands of people marched quickly and silently, with their horses and men holding their heads.

Hundreds of scouts in the front were looking out for the army, and all villages they encountered were bypassed.

If they can't get around it, all the merchants and porters they meet will be detained and accompanied by the army.

At the front of the army, a short armored general sat on a tall horse, looking majestic.

This is Doulaoliu, one of the early Qingniu disciples and a rising star beyond the Great Wall.

Because his troops dared to take the initiative to attack Di Lu, they gained the support of many elite border troops who had a blood feud with Di Lu. There were not many ten thousand people, but they were extremely capable.

More importantly, Doulaoliu promoted the belief in the Qingniu Immortal in the army. Wherever the army's flag went, the Qingniu Immortal would "walk in the temple" to accompany him.

Therefore, this army has also received the care of the Great Immortal Qingniu, and has received many Dharma and preachers.

This is why Doulao Liu dared to take the initiative to attack Di Lu and won more than he lost.

This is a strange army, and it is also the result of Qin He deliberately planting flowers but not blooming, but unintentionally planting willows to create shade.

Suddenly, they heard that the Qingniu Immortal Temple in the capital was burned, and the entire Dou Army was filled with indignation. Dou Laoliu raised his arms and entered the pass at starry night.

They stayed day and night and spent several days advancing all the way to the western suburbs.

At this time, a scout stepped forward and made a few gestures.

Doulaoliu quickly raised his hand, and upon seeing this, the army passed the gestures one after another and slowly stopped.

After a pause, Doulao Liu cradled the horse's belly and headed forward, accompanied by dozens of personal guards.

Their horses' hooves were all wrapped in thick straw bags, and they only made a slight muffled sound when they stepped on the ground.

After walking a few hundred steps, we passed through a forest.

Ahead, it suddenly becomes clear.

A huge city lies on the horizon in the distance, and the dots of firelight on the top of the city depict its magnificent outline.

Like a giant beast and an abyss.

In front of it, even if Dou Laoliu held ten thousand soldiers, he could not help but feel weak.

This was the capital of the Rong and Li dynasties for nearly five hundred years.

It is the heart of the dynasty and even the east.

Doulaoliu is a descendant of the Qi family army, and he has heard the elders mention the sanctity and prosperity of the capital countless times.

He also made meritorious service in the Lu region and went to Beijing to receive a title, so he had seen it with his own eyes.

But Doulaoliu never expected that it would be less than two years since he left the capital.

Tonight, he will decide the fate of this city.

There are fifty thousand soldiers and horses in the city, but he only has ten thousand.

This is a huge gamble.

It’s done, and it will be famous throughout history.

If you lose, the nine tribes will be implicated.

The only belief in his heart is the Great Immortal Qingniu.

In this battle, he will fight for the loyalty of the Qi family army and also for his own beliefs.

Taking a deep breath, Doulaoliu waved his hand forward silently, and dozens of scouts received the order and quickly disappeared into the darkness ahead.

Doulaoliu turned around and sneaked into the woods behind, waiting for the opportunity.

…

"It's the middle of the night, the sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about fire and candles, and protect yourself from moisture and frost~"

In Xicheng, an old man who had been unemployed for more than a month banged his bamboo banger again and started patrolling the streets again.

A few days ago, Emperor Shun left Beijing in person. Prime Minister Li Yan issued an order to rebuild the government offices in the capital, appease the people of Li, and restore order in the city.

Order is something that is easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild, but it must make the people feel different.

Therefore, the government offices at the grassroots level that directly faced the people were the first to be restored.

For example, take the watch room of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

There are only a dozen or so people in the entire capital to serve the morning bells, evening drums, and night watch. With a small number of people, recovery is quick, and the people in the whole city can hear it, so the effect is immediate.

Ever since, the old Bamboo Clapper, who had been unemployed for more than a month, once again took up Dashun's iron rice bowl, and asked his nephew to play lanterns. It was the same as before. The only change was that it was a pity that the old Bamboo Clapper was gone.

"Boom~~"

At this moment, a dull muffled sound suddenly floated into Lao Bangzi's ears.

The old Bangzi paused in his tapping action. This sound was not unfamiliar to him, on the contrary, it was very familiar.

That was the sound of two thousand-pound iron gates, one outside and one inside the city gate, rising at the same time.

In the past, it would only rise after dawn.

And now, it's midnight.

No matter who is the master of the capital, two iron laws will be passed down from generation to generation.

After the city gate is closed, anyone who opens the city gate without authorization, regardless of master or subordinate, will be dealt with carefully and executed.

If the inner and outer city gates are opened at the same time, the three Yi tribes will be punished as rebellion.

In a word, any gate in the capital, even if there is a token, only one gate will be opened at night. If both gates are fully open, it will lead directly to the inside and outside of the city. If there are enemy troops lurking outside, there will be floods.

The city is in danger.

Instinctively, Lao Bangzi walked a few steps and came to the intersection.

A hundred steps away, I saw that the inner and outer gates had indeed been raised, and there were shadows on the city below, all of them men in black clothes, and there were even faintly visible corpses lying there.

"Boom~~"

Immediately afterwards, the slight roar became louder and clearer.

This time it was not the sound of the gate, but the sound of horse hooves, and the gradually lighting up torches like fireflies.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

"kill!"

The next moment, sharp warning sounds and shouts of death sounded almost simultaneously.

Rows of cavalry rushed into the city gate like a tidal wave and charged into the city.

At first, there was a man holding an ax and hammer, like a demon.

"Help!!"

Old Bangzi's eyes were round with shock, he screamed strangely, turned around and ran away.

Something big happened!

The border soldiers captured the city, and Dali came back to fight again!

What they wore was the nine-sided armor of Dali.

The capital, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, once again ushered in a major turmoil.

At this time, when viewed from a high altitude, the Dou Army was as powerful as a rainbow, holding countless torches and pouring into the city like a tide. After entering the city, it quickly divided into three arrows and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the four military camps of the Shun Army in the east, west, north and south.

Everything was planned in advance.

The two closest Shunjun military camps in the southwest were the first to be unlucky. The soldiers were still sleeping when they suddenly heard the sound of killings, causing chaos. Before they could understand the situation, the Doujun army had already broken through like wolves and tigers.

Enter through the camp gate.

"One hundred thousand border troops entered the city to quell the rebellion. Surrender without being killed. Surrender without being killed!"

At the front of the army, dozens of Feiyu warriors wearing bright Feiyu uniforms roared in unison.

"One hundred thousand border troops entered the city to put down the rebellion!"

"Surrender and avoid killing, surrender and avoid killing!"

When the Dou army heard this, they also followed the call.

The Shun army suddenly became more chaotic. Some took up weapons to resist, some surrendered, and some covered their heads and tried to rush out.

Soon the two Shun army camps were filled with dead bodies and blood flowing like rivers.

The remaining people were frightened and gave up their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The Dou army confiscated their weapons, leaving some people to guard the prisoners, and then attacked the two main camps in the east and north.

At this time, the Shun troops in the east and north had taken advantage of this time to react and were coming to support from the southwest.

The two sides met halfway, and a fierce street fight broke out.

The Dou army is capable, but its number is only about 8,000.

The Shun army's combat strength was slightly weaker, but there were still nearly 30,000 soldiers left.

"kill!"

Doulaoliu took the lead and led his bodyguards to charge into the battle and fight.

Seizing a city by sneak attack is all about speed. The longer the delay, the easier it is for the opponent to stabilize their position.

How could the Shun army stop Dou Laoliu? No one could join forces, and they were immediately killed and retreated steadily.

But no matter how brave Dou Laoliu is, he can only kill all the way.

At this moment, the two armies were fighting in all the streets of the capital.

"Flying Fish Guard, kill the enemy!!"

In a certain street and alley, dozens of flying fish guards suddenly appeared from the rooftops, holding powerful crossbows, and aimed at the Shun army, they were covered with a torrential rain of arrows.

The Shun army fell down like wheat.

The Dou Army took advantage of the situation and advanced.

And scenes like this are still happening all over the city.

"Whoosh!"

An Xiu Chun Dao slashed across and beheaded a general of the shun army.

This is Wei Yuanji's move. At the peak of his inner strength, he can almost kill instantly on the battlefield.

But then the revenge of the Shun army came. Guns, hand cannons, bows and arrows were directed at Wei Yuanji's position, and bricks and stones flew everywhere.

Wei Yuanji turned over to avoid it and rushed to the next place.

"The Li army enters the city!"

"The Li army is back!"

"Kill the thieves and drive them out!"

At the same time, as the war raged, many common people who responded also joined the fight against the Shun army.

Some of them are Qingniu disciples, some are retired soldiers, and most of them are ordinary people who have been harmed by the shun army.

They gathered together with friends filled with hatred, and the number grew from a few to a dozen, and then quickly grew to a hundred, led by the Green Ox disciples.

Those who are capable kill the enemy and assist in the battle, while those who are not capable lead the way for the bean army entering the city and outflank the resisting shun army.

As time goes by, as more and more people join, it becomes larger and larger.

An hour later, Shunjun gradually couldn't resist and began to shrink.

The treachery of the Shun army and what they did after the surrender in the capital was deeply resented by everyone from the rich officials to the poor.

If someone is killed by the Bean Army, some bones will be left behind.

If you are killed by the revenge-minded people in the city, even the bones and dregs will be smashed by you.

Soon, the contraction of the Shun army turned into a retreat. When the first Shun army opened the gate of the east city and escaped from the city, the rest of the Shun army collapsed completely and scrambled to escape.

Seeing this, Dou's army gained momentum. Amid the cheers of countless people, they completely drove the Shun army out of the city. The cavalry chased them for dozens of miles before retreating.
Chapter completed!
