Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1520 Moling Pass

  It is three quarters of Yin time, and there is still an hour before dawn, the sky and the earth are pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.

  Wow~cheep, waa~cheep

  A melodious and rapid electronic pigeon whistle pierced the silent night sky. Accompanied by the whistle, a white-feathered gray-headed carrier pigeon pierced the night sky and landed in the pigeon loft at the top of the city. A folded letterhead was tied to the pigeon’s leg.

   "A flying slave is back. It's a gray-headed flying slave. This is a flying slave from Moling Pass. He also has an urgent report. Hurry up and send the urgent report to the adults."

The soldiers who tended the pigeon lofts in Chengtou Pigeon House all the year round heard the whistle of the pigeons and found a pigeon flying back to the loft. When they noticed that it was a gray-headed white-feathered carrier pigeon bred by Molingguan in the south of the city and it was carrying an emergency report, they hurriedly took out a handful of pigeons from their arms. After feeding the japonica rice to the pigeons, they untied the emergency report from the pigeons' legs and shouted loudly.

Moling Pass is just south of Yingtian, and it is one of the gates of Yingtian. The distance between it and Yingtian is similar to the distance between Jiangning Town and Yingtian, except that Jiangning Town is in the southwest of Yingtian, and Moling Pass is in the southeast of Yingtian. square.

  Moling Pass sent an urgent report at this time, it must be extremely important. Therefore, the soldiers who tend the lofts dare not neglect.

   Soon, the messenger soldier on duty in the pigeon loft received the pigeon's emergency report and rushed all the way to the gate tower.

   Zhang Jing, He Gonggong and other officials were resting inside the city gate tower. When the messenger soldiers came to deliver the letter, they had just fallen asleep at their desks. During the day when the Japanese pirates attacked the city, they were very nervous. After the Japanese pirates were beaten away by the Zhejiang army, they were slightly relieved. The reason why they said they were relieved was because they were worried that the withdrawal of the Japanese pirates was an illusion, and that the withdrawal of the Japanese pirates was to confuse Ying Tian. In order to prevent the Japanese pirates from attacking Yingtian again, not only the gates of the city were closed, but even the conscripted people were not dismissed. They were also highly nervous. At night, they were too frightened to sleep, and they dared not sleep, lest the Japanese pirates would fall asleep in front of them. Time strikes. Even when the time came to Zishi, they insisted on staying awake until Yinshi, when they couldn't bear it any longer, they fell asleep at their desks.

   "An urgent report from Fei Slave at Moling Pass? Submit it quickly."

  When Zhang Jing and other officials heard the news that the soldiers had reported the urgent report from Moling Pass, their sleepiness disappeared immediately, and they hurriedly called out.

   "Moling Pass is the southeast gateway of Yingtian, and the urgent report from Moling Pass is probably related to the Japanese pirates in Shangyu." Shi Pengfei, the right servant of the Ministry of War, was the first to express his opinion when he sent the messenger to submit the urgent report.

   "Who is stationed at Moling Pass?" Eunuch He asked.

"Yingtian Mansion promoted Luo Jieqing and commanded Xu Chengzong to lead 1,000 elite soldiers to guard Moling Pass." Shi Pengfei, the right servant of the Ministry of War, replied in response. When he mentioned Luo Jieqing and Xu Chengzong, Shi Pengfei puffed out his belly and coughed to ask for credit, "Luo Jieqing Knowing about military affairs, Yun Wen Yun Wu, is well-known in Yingtian Mansion. Xu Chengzong is a family of generals. He served in Datong in his early years and refused to go south several times. He has rich experience in leading troops. Heck, they are still me Last month, it was recommended to guard Moling Pass, with the two of them there, the Japanese pirates of Shangyu must have been beaten to death at Moling Pass. At this moment, they have sent an urgent report, presumably the triumphant song has been played."

   "As the saying goes, there is Moling first, and then there is Jinling. Moling Pass has been an insurmountable pass since ancient times. There are a thousand elite soldiers guarding Moling Pass. If Japanese pirates want to pass the pass, they have to peel off their skins if they don't die."

"I have also heard the name of Officer Luo Tui. He loves to read military books, knows military affairs well, and has led troops to suppress bandits many times. Shi Shilang recommended Officer Luo Tui to guard Moling Pass. It can be said that he knows people and makes good use of them. Shi Shilang said that the triumphant song has been played , it’s worthwhile to think about it.”

  After Shi Pengfei finished speaking, two officials nodded in agreement.

   "So, the Japanese pirates have gone to Moling Pass? Isn't Yingtian safe for the time being?" Everyone couldn't help but beam with joy.

  Zhang Jing received the urgent report from the messenger soldier, and couldn't wait to open it to browse.

  All officials are also watching.

   "I hope it's good news, so that the miscellaneous family can sleep well." Eunuch He raised his orchid finger, looked at Zhang Jing, and said slowly.

"asshole!"

  As soon as Zhang Jing opened the emergency report and took a look, he couldn't help being furious. He slapped the emergency report on the table and cursed with gritted teeth.

ah? !

  Seeing that Zhang Jing was furious, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they realized that something was wrong. What came from Moling Pass was not a triumphant song, but bad news!

Eunuch He hurriedly picked up the urgent report, glanced at it, and couldn't help but, like Zhang Jing, slapped the urgent report on the table and scolded sharply, "These two murderers! When they got to Moling Pass, they abandoned it and ran away! Miscellaneous families will definitely tell the Holy Master, and punish them severely!"

  After cursing, Eunuch He looked at Shi Pengfei quietly, pointing at the orchid flower and said pitifully, "Just now, Shi Shilang said that they were recommended by you to guard Moling Pass?"

   "I, I can't say that I recommended it, I just, just nominated it. I, I was also deceived by them."

  Shi Pengfei stammered.

  Everyone took turns to read the emergency report, and immediately understood the reason why Zhang Jing and Eunuch He were furious. Luo Jieqing and Xu Chengzong, who were guarding Moling Pass, abandoned the pass and fled. They didn’t even see the shadow of the Japanese pirates.

  The pressure returned to Ying Tiancheng.

   Before the Japanese pirates reached Moling Pass, Luo Jieqing and Xu Chengzong abandoned the pass and fled! Now the situation is in the hands of the Japanese pirates. If they want to turn around and fight against the sky, they can fight against the sky.

   Now they can't sleep anymore!

   I'm afraid that Japanese pirates will appear under Yingtian City in the next second!

   "Everyone, cheer up! Keep your eyes open!" A group of generals received orders and had to patrol the city wall over and over again, putting on high alert to prevent Japanese pirates from returning their carbines to suddenly attack the city.

  The city of Yingtian was very tense, no matter whether it was an official, a soldier, or a commoner, they stayed up all night.

   In this way, Yinshi, Maoshi... until the last period of darkness before dawn.

  The exhausted soldiers, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as they watched the dawn slowly brewing in the East. In the next second, he vaguely heard footsteps, and then saw movement in the southeast direction. He widened his eyes to look carefully, then his pupils shrank sharply, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Someone, there is a large group of people in the southeast direction to Yingtian. come.

   "What? There is a large group of people coming from the southeast to Yingtian?!" The city wall suddenly became tense.

   "Sure enough, a large group of people came over."

   "Could it be that the Japanese pirates came back again?!"

  Everyone also saw a team approaching Yingtian one after another, getting closer and closer, and suddenly panicked and shouted.

   Soon, Shi Pengfei, the right servant of the Ministry of War, led several officials and a team of elite soldiers, and came to see the situation under the order of Zhang Jing.

  Because of the darkness before dawn, the people on the city wall couldn't see the banners of the team clearly. They could only vaguely see that this team was not small, there were as many as seven or eight hundred people.

   "Who is coming? Stop! If you get closer, you will shoot arrows!" A general on the city wall shouted nervously.
