On September 11, Ruo Ziyan's army entered Wancheng.

On September 12, there was an encounter with the Nanban in the wild, and after a bloody day, he quelled the rebellion of the Nanban tribe and rushed to the hinterland of Jingman.

On September 16, Ruo Ao Ziyan gathered the garrisons of each city, formed the army of King Qin, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, all the way south, divided into three ways to attack and sweep away the rebellious Ruo Ao vassal country, Qishu ancient country, fierce battle for two days, Miao Benhuang abandoned the city and fled north, the remnants surrendered, beheaded the leaders of Qishu, and pacified the rebellion of Qishu.

On September 20, Ruo Ao Ziyan led 20,000 elite soldiers of the vanguard into Jingmen City overnight, and finally arrived at the nearest city north of Yingdu.

At this moment, under the Jingmen City, which is two hundred miles away from Yingdu, on the edge of the Han River, countless torches reflect each other into a long dragon, illuminating the dim river in front of them.

On the big river, the war horses are neighing, the warriors are not stopping, and hundreds of light boats are carrying groups of soldiers across the Han River to the south.

The night wind was cold and solemn, and a man in armor and blood stained stood on top of the city tower, his back was as tall as a sword, with the bloody aura of the battle, and the cold wind blew his handsome face, carving his profound facial features more awe-inspiring and inviolable like an emperor.

A pair of deep eyes dyed even darker in the night.

It's pitch black.

No one can see through it.

Seeing the man like this, no one dared to believe that the clan he represented was the undefeated myth of Great Chu, and the Ruo Ao clan had just experienced the biggest turmoil in the history of the Chu State not long ago, causing Yin to die, Sima to be seriously ill, Ruo Ao Zike to die in battle, Ruo Ao Yuejiao to usurp power, and the subject country to rebel...... The entire family fell apart in an instant, and even dragged the entire Great Chu into the mud bath of civil war.

The crowd bowed their heads and stood with their hands bowed.

I can't tell the difference in the night.

But even in such a situation, no one dared to despise him in the slightest, just because the Ruo Ao clan was still standing behind him.

At this time, news came one after another from the messengers of the Ruo Ao clan and the courtiers who had escaped from the capital.

Yuejiao set fire to the palace, the king of Chu, so that Yin died in the Chu Palace, the eastern suburbs were burned, all the clan courtiers in the country were requisitioned to store grain, from Yingdu to Jingzhou all to avoid the Qingye, the courtiers who resisted the Yuejiao explosion were chased and killed, the courtiers who escaped from the capital are now gathered here to wait for his return to the north, and the princess was forced to be trapped in the Phoenix Mountain City for more than ten days and could not come out, just waiting for the horse to return to the country to pacify the Yuejiao rebellion and rescue the siege of the princess.

The arraignment soldier of the Ruo Ao clan also knelt on the ground holding aloft the last urgent letter and Zida's token before Ling Yin Zi's death.

If Ao Ziyan didn't raise his head, the arm raised at this moment was stiff, the whole person didn't say a word, the corners of his lips were tense, and he stood for a long time, and finally took the snow-white silk silk that I didn't know whose blood it was, unfolded it quietly, looked at the familiar handwriting of my father on both sides, and then folded it and put it in my arms properly.

I don't know if it's too much force or what, he clenched his big hand on the silk silk, and his muscles were full of muscles, and it took a long time before he said calmly, "Got it, retreat." ”

"Childe, we ......"

Even the soldier delivering the message couldn't believe his reaction at this moment.

Jiang Liu and the others also stepped forward to comfort them when they heard this, but Ruo Ziyan glanced at them coldly: "I said to retreat!"

Qingpu stiffened his neck when he heard this, looked at them with red eyes, and shouted back from everyone and said, "Childe is fine, let's all step down!"

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed and retreated, but the county Yin of Jingmen City stepped forward with an anxious expression, pointed to the beacon smoke burning in the south and said, "Don Ma, the top priority is now, are we going to go back to Beijing for rescue?"

"The princess has been besieged by Yuejiao in Phoenix Mountain for more than ten days, and now she has lit a beacon fire to ask for help from our county, and the situation must be critical!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan narrowed his difficult gaze at this time, his sword eyebrows were as cold as a blade, he slowly raised his head, and quietly looked around the county Yin and the garrisons behind him who followed him all the way, and everywhere he looked, he was silent, and no one dared to betray him Ruo Ao's two hearts.

In the end, he ordered, "Qingpu, Jiangliu, Shocking Wind, Yang Wei, order all the staff to hurry up and cross the river!"

"Yes, Childe!"

The four of them received the order to convey that in front of them, a hundred boats were carrying tens of thousands of troops behind them to prepare to cross the river.

Ruo Ao Ziyan's gaze swept over the six sons of Ruo Ao who had landed in the distance, and they all turned over and got on their horses, or ran directly with the war horses, soldiers, chariots and horses, rushing endlessly, smoke and dust went straight up to the sky, covering the sky and the moon, and finally disappeared into the mountains and forests on the far other side.

Ruo Ziyan stood with his hands in his hands until he finally boarded the big boat, Su Cong silently twisted his eyebrows and boarded the boat after the county Yin, his eyes slowly penetrated the riverside filled with white mist, looked at the man in the lead, and landed in the distance The smoke billowing up to the nine heavens of the Yingdu Wangcheng.

Originally, they were going to walk for a month, but they squeezed it into half a month, day and night, killing people and sleeping on horses, just to rush back, but they were still one step late.

……

The sky is shining.

Break through all the fog.

The distant sound of golden drums pierced the sky at this moment.

After several days of rain shrouded in Jingman's sky, this day suddenly shined, ten thousand morning rays pierced the clouds, caressing the entire Phoenix Mountain Range, and kept shuttling between the entire mountain forest, like a golden belt, casting the changing clouds on the field as far as the eye could see.

Nineteenth year of King Chumu.

September 22nd.

Early in the morning, south of Phoenix Mountain.

Six drums thundered on the tower.

Four golds in unison.

Twelve drummers stood left and right swinging the drum hammer with the thickness of their arms, and the eight songwriters kept shaking the golden duo, the golden drums rang out in unison, and the brilliant sound was loud, and the calm Daze suddenly seemed to throw countless boulders, smashing all the peace with a bang.

The young man standing on the top of the mountain, wearing a purple bamboo jade crown on his head, wearing a thick purple cloak and a snow-white scarf, the clouds and shadows in the sky poured out on his body, and his form was extinguished, blending with the autumn water and sky.

With a faint gaze, he rode the wind away, and threw himself on the woman under the black phoenix flag among the ten thousand armies under the mountain, and suddenly said to Jing'an behind him, "Jing'an, do you know? Many years ago, I saw this legendary victory in the history books for 2,600 years. ”

"How is that possible?"

Jing An stood behind him in disbelief.

"I don't believe it either. ”

The lips were hooked, and Cheng Jia smiled chicly.

At this moment, his heart fluctuated.

"But today I believe it, because I will witness this moment in history with my own eyes. ”

History is called history.

It's not because it's been documented for a long time and can't be changed.

It's because of the choices of countless people.

In the end, history was made.

……

"Lady, sword!"

On the city tower, the wounded Si Jian knelt on the ground, and his hands presented the domineering Tai'a Wang sword.

"Hmm!"

Take Taiah.

The moment you get it.

The heavy weight made her palm tighten.

Mi Huang knew that this weight was her life, as well as the lives of everyone in the entire Great Chu.

At this moment, she was tightly holding it in her hands.

Looking at the roaring and roaring wolf army gathered outside the mountain city, Mi Huang's heart was surprisingly calm at this time, even though they shouted and sent someone to spread the word and said, "If Ao Ziyan dies because he can't deliver food and is defeated, and the Northern Expedition Chu State loses to the Jin State again, you will be isolated!"

Her mind was still at peace.

This life.

The trough, the high.

Fall, get up, fight.

Countless times, thrilling.

It was just one of her many times.

Either fight on the road.

Either die on the journey.

She knows that there may be many shortcuts in this world, many ways to escape, people and things that borrow strength, once she thought that she could rely on her past memories to obtain such a method, borrow such power, and seek such a shortcut, but people who have really lived once know that some people, you can't play tricks, some roads, you have to go through, and some life and death, you can't get around no matter what......

This is what they have to go through.

People who always think about tricks and avoid evil, they are very smart, they can achieve temporary success, but this success cannot support them to the end.

Because at the most critical time, only by gambling your life can you see victory.

Therefore, she forced all the remnants of Ruoao's six divisions to go out of the city to face the battle, never fleeing, never delaying, not even giving herself and everyone any way to retreat, blocking the city gate, and never allowing herself to turn back.

This is her battlefield.

The battle of Phoenix Mountain, the battle that decided her life and death.

Or leave alive.

Or leave your life behind.

Playing tricks, naughty play, why don't you try?

In this life-and-death contest, who would be willing to give up their life only once to you, that's a joke.

When the wolf army on the opposite side released the news that "if Ao Ziyan is defeated and killed, the Northern Expedition is defeated, and they have no backup", it is conceivable how much damage has been to many people around her, Qi Da, Yao Jun, Ruo Ao's blow is the worst, and even Taishi Cheng Daxin and others can't help but show a moved look.

Old Situ!

She really looked away at this usually honest important minister of the Three Dynasties.

From the confrontation with the court to the confrontation on the battlefield, things have developed to the point in front of her, and she has faced her military spirit from this ancient old man again and again, and she wants to disarm and surrender, and Lao Situ's move is undoubtedly the last straw that bends the camel's camel for his victory, and constantly increases the magic code of his victory.

Mi Huang looked at the entire Jing Barbarian sky.

Under the clear blue sky, the light from the top of the mountain spread out, as if someone was standing on the top of the mountain to watch her, and the light broke through the mistting on the cloud dream of September, revealing a blue sky and a golden outline.

The vast earth, the golden autumn leaves soothe with the wind, the fragrance of wormwood permeates the air, the smell is incomparably fresh, and there is a strange smell of fragrance mixed with it......

In the city, countless warriors silently moved out of the way, and five hundred guards with the Phoenix Feather put one hand on their chests, kneeling down to meet each other, and the Phoenix strode into the chariot in silence in the crowd.

Under the banner of the black phoenix, the woman's long black hair with a golden ring was high, standing proudly, facing the murderous aura that was churning and plundering between heaven and earth.

At this moment, his eyes lit up.

This is the family and country she wants to protect.

Pointing to the wolf army roaring from the opposite side, Mi Huang said loudly: "See? It was they who burned down the homes of thousands of people in the eastern suburbs with a fire! It was they who caused countless companions in Phoenix Mountain to die in battle, contracted diseases, and their souls could not rest in peace! It was they who dragged my entire Great Chu and your Ruoao clan and all the clans into the abyss!"

"It's all because of them!"

"Their ambition and greed!"

Looking at the eyes that were lost and sad about the future, she just smiled contemptuously and said, "Now these careerists are even preaching everywhere, my husband, if the man you are loyal to Ao Liubu loses and dies in battle, and you will be reduced to history, do you want to admit their nonsense?"

"Don't!"

Countless roars, raising arms and shouting.

Only the same angry voice can dispel those inexplicable fears in their hearts, regain courage and confidence, and hold on to the weapons of battle in their hands.

"Good!"

"Then let's raise our swords together today!"

Holding the king's sword tightly, Mi Huang suddenly drew his sword, and pointed a little sharp point at the wolf-like and violent man in the Chinese army opposite, and let out a phoenix roar, "Use blood!"

"Yue Jiao's blood!"

"Wash everything!"

"Kill!"

The heralds sped past from behind and forward, chanting all the way.

"Open the city gates and go out of the city to fight!"

The originally silent army turned into a golden phoenix born out of fire with this phoenix roar, opened its eyes full of murderous intent, spread its plump wings, and exposed its hideous phoenix claws to attack the 100,000 wolf army, followed the phoenix flag behind the woman in the center, took a hundred cars, took ten thousand troops, and rode back to Yingdu.

The city gates on the southeast and west sides of the Phoenix Mountain "boomed", tens of thousands of cavalry brushed and turned over their horses, thousands of drivers boarded the chariots, countless infantry followed closely before and after, left and right, Qi Da, Yao Jun, Huo Dao, Ouyang Nai four people, led by the two wings of cavalry vanguard and 10,000 infantry from the east and west gates, and the soldiers of the Chinese army to which Mihuang belonged guarded the huge siege car mountain wall from the south gate.

The gates closed slowly behind them on three sides.

Except for their comrades-in-arms who crouched on the tower of the city tower to escort them remotely, they had no way to retreat.

Ten thousand troops stepped on, and the blades of grass flew one after another, raising the yellow water in the sky and rolling the ground, covering the eyes of the warriors, making them squint slightly, and concentrate their eyes on the wolf army that was gathering outside the city.

Outside the city, the horn rumbled, behind the black forest, one after another black wolf flags revealed the hideous wolf head, and the rebels who had been waiting for a day and a night followed suit, like wolves rushing forward quickly, "killing" the sound shook the sky, and swept along the golden plain like a black wave.

From the gathering of the most powerful Wang Pawn Tiger Forbidden Army of Great Chu, the huge infantry team of Ruo Ao's six divisions and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the three armies gathered, 100,000 people, for the rich reward given by Yue Jiao, rushed up, determined to capture the Huang and invite the reward.

On the other side, the troops attacking the Huang were closely and neatly arranged, advancing in an orderly manner in silence, but they seemed to suddenly reveal a hideous edge in the silence at any time.

The 100 bed crossbows erected at the head of the Phoenix Mountain City have poked out a sharp cold light from between the wall stacks, and the soldiers have all pulled the strings and put on the arrows, and as long as they pull the trigger in their hands, they can fire ten thousand arrows at once; the new trebuchets on the head of the city have all been loaded with stone bullets; the nest carts are all dragged by oxen and horses, and they are moving forward, and some soldiers climb to the top of the nest carts, waiting for the military horn to sound, and ignite the moxa wool in the wooden trough at the top.

The huge siege weapon strode proudly like a behemoth, unstoppable, and was dragged out of the city by oxen, horses and sappers, revealing its hideous face.

"Elder Li, what are those!"

Zhao Hou, who was in the wolf army, pointed to the two giant siege vehicles that followed the army and asked in a low exclamation.

The ordinary siege vehicle was no more than a foot high, this car was three feet high, almost as high as the city gate of Phoenix Mountain, with eight wheels, up to three floors, equipped with a drummer who commanded, and the outside of the car was covered by thick and hard leather, and from a distance you could only see a little cold light from the inside, aimed at them.

"Could this be the magic weapon that Lu Yi and they said?"

Lu Yi also saw something he had never seen before, and looked at Ruo Ao Yuejiao who was standing proudly on the chariot behind him with a solemn expression, "My lord?"

"You want to win?"

Old Situ was the first to let out a mockery, "Lord Lu, just send him to death!"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao's wolf-like eyes looked at Lao Situ and raised a question, "Oh, then according to Lord Situ's opinion, will we win this battle today?"

"Ling Yin, the battle of the Northern Expedition of the Horses, because there was no food to continue, finally lost in defeat, died on the battlefield, the 160,000 army went north, no one has survived so far, and the remnants of the army left in the city are just a battle of trapped beasts!"

"Good!"

"With Situ's words, what else is there to fear!"

Ruo Yuejiao stood on top of the chariot with a sword, and when he heard this, he smiled and said loudly, "Today, I will kill Ben Ling Yin fiercely! Use the lives of these 70,000 people to lay the foundation of your immortality! From now on, I will give you the status of nobles, so that your children and grandchildren will have inexhaustible land and slaves, and be looked up to by the world!"

"Long live Ling Yin!"

All the wolf army was aroused by the greed and ferocity in their hearts, and excitedly raised their arms and shouted.

Then, if Ao Yuejiao raised his hand and gave an order according to the plan drawn up by Lao Situ, "If someone comes, those who descend will spare their lives;

Lu Yi raised the flag of the word "fire" and shouted: "On the fierce fire oil!"

At a position less than 300 steps away from Phoenix Mountain City, more than a dozen catapults have been loaded with stone bullets, soldiers stand with axes in the posture of guards, and sappers scoop out fierce fire oil from the dingzhong and pour stone bullets, and then stand solemnly waiting for an order, light them with torches in their hands, and launch them.

Zhao Hou looked at Yue Jiao in horror and was going crazy to burn the enemy soldiers coming from the opposite side, and shouted to stop it.

"Don't be cruel to the enemy!"

"It's just cruel to ourselves!"

Old Situ looked at him and said disdainfully.

He was too merciful in the first place, so his son died in the power struggle.

In the rebuke of Zhao Hou shouting "They are crazy people", a trace of crazy laughter finally rose in the eyes of Lao Situ: "Welcome, come to hell!"

Phoenix Mountain is the birthplace of the plague, coupled with the countless casualties in this battle, it will not be long before the creatures within a radius of ten miles will fall into a hell from which they will never recover.
