Chapter 116: Head-to-head showdown
Shangyun City, the Governor's Palace
"General Duanmu, the Jiuchen Army has surrounded me in Shangyun City, our army's backup transport troops are often attacked by small forces of the Jiuchen Army on the road, and most of the grain and grass have been lost, and now the capital no longer dares to send the grain and grass army to support us, and our current form can be described as ...... It's hard to move an inch, and it's at stake. ”
"How long has this been the case?" Duanmu Ling asked.
"It's been five days. ”
"How long will there be enough food and grass in the city now?" Duanmu Ling looked at the officer of the logistics department.
The officer drooped his head and let out a long sigh, "I guess...... It can last for two weeks. ”
"Nie Muchen, this son of a bitch, is really amazing!" a general burst into a foul mouth and slammed his fist on the table.
"What's even more excessive now is that this morning, the Jiuchen Army actually sent people to provoke under the city, insulting our army very unscrupulously, and even ...... Some of the language and terminology are simply unpretentious. Another general was very helpless, "They humiliated our army, saying that our army was weak and unworthy of being their opponent, and that we were ...... I have no one in Beixuan, and I even lost the sixteen counties of the border pass!"
"What!" a hot-tempered general directly threw the bowl on the ground, "I'm so angry with Lao Tzu, don't stop anyone, Lao Tzu wants to go out and fight them to the death!" After speaking, he was about to rush out with a knife.
Duanmu Ling was just about to open his mouth to stop, but someone took the lead.
"Stop. A voice came from outside the door, not loud, but it made everyone in the audience pause. The general who was about to break out with a knife also paused, and everyone stood up in unison and saluted, "Your Highness." ”
"Fight to the death, do you think that with our current numbers and strength, we can compare with the army of 100,000 in Jiuchen?" Lie Beiyao suppressed the angry general in an irresistible tone.
"But Your Highness, this is not the idea of one of your subordinates, you go down and take a look, the brothers have long been impatient, and now there is a fire backlog in their chests, if you hadn't given a death order to prevent us from going out, everyone would have been killed a long time ago. The general muttered dissatisfied.
"Yes, Your Highness, we just won the battle and gave Jiuchen a blow to the head, and now is a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Another general chimed in.
"What do you think if you win a battle? That's just a small itch, for the army of Jiuchen and 100,000, they will take it to heart?" Duanmu Ling retorted for Lie Beiyao.
Several Red Banner Crusader generals all understood that Lie Beiyao's decision was right, and after the others left, they stepped forward one after another, and one of them spoke, with a hint of helplessness, "It's not realistic to stop them from going out to fight like this, sooner or later they will break out." ”
"Although His Highness's decision is right, the Nine Dust Army has been surrounding us, and we have been unable to make any moves, and we are helpless. The other spoke.
"Now that the capital can't draw troops and horses to reinforce us, we can only fight the trapped beasts. Duanmu Ling said to everyone.
"This ......"
"No, since you can't stop it, then fight them head-on!" Lie Beiyao, who had been in deep thought, spoke, very resolutely.
"This is too risky!" Duanmu Ling shook his head repeatedly, "If ......"
The others stepped back first. General Duanmu, you stay for a while, I have something to say to you alone. Lie Beiyao said to Duanmu Ling.
"Yes, Your Highness. The rest of the people retreated one after another, Lie Beiyao got up and said a few words in Duanmu Ling's ear, Duanmu Ling frowned at first, then stretched, and nodded with a happy and happy smile, "Although this plan is risky, I believe that Your Highness will definitely be able to break the Nine Dust Army with this plan." ”
"Hopefully. Lie Beiyao smiled, "Let's go, send someone to blow the rallying horn and assemble the three armies." ”
......
"Commander, Commander!" a Nine Dust soldier ran into the camp out of breath, his face flushed.
"What's wrong, so panicked!" Nie Muchen was sipping tea in his tent. "Commander, we are ambushing around Shangyun City as usual, who expected that Beixuan suddenly gathered three armies, and the men and horses in our ambush were killed without leaving a piece of armor, and the men and horses in other places also urgently withdrew back, we ...... Let's run back and ask the Commander what you think. ”
"Hehe, hehehe!" Nie Muchen put down the teacup and laughed loudly, "Can't bear it so quickly?" ”
"What do you ......mean, Lord Commander," the soldier asked.
"Wait! Lie Beiyao and Duanmu Ling didn't send troops to stop those soldiers who left the city?" Nie Muchen wondered.
"It is the order of Lie Bei Yao to gather the three armies and go out of the city to fight us. The soldier replied.
"It turned out to be her order?!" Nie Muchen exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, the Northern Xuan Army sounded the rallying cry not long ago, and then quickly rushed out of the city to kill our army, and now their morale is high, if we don't withdraw quickly, we will lose a lot. ”
"Heh, I didn't expect her to be far more impetuous and impatient than I thought. It's just a little provocation and stimulation, and it's unbearable? It's the commander who thinks highly of her, and she's really a fledgling girl who doesn't know the world. Nie Muchen sneered, "Okay, since she is so anxious to fight us to the death, then we will fulfill her wish!"
"Go and blow the rallying trumpet, assemble all the troops, reorganize the men and horses, and meet the enemy!"
"Yes. "The soldier said," the little one went to inform His Royal Highness King Qi. ”
"Well, I don't have to. Nie Muchen waved his hand, "His Royal Highness King Qi has been working hard for days, let him rest in the camp, we will just inform him of this matter." ”
"Yes. ”
......
In the tent, Ye Fan gently wiped his sword with a square towel, the tent was lifted, and a gust of wind blew his broken hair.
"Your Highness, Nie Muchen has not informed you, and has gathered three armies to attack the city again. Ding Yi came in and reported to Ye Fan.
"Let him go. Ye Fan said coldly.
"But like this...... Your majesty as a manager is gone. ”
"Originally, Nie Muchen didn't take me seriously. Ye Fan sneered, "But if he loses, then it's hard to say." ”
"In Yichen's opinion, this is unlikely. Ding Yi said.
"I don't think so. Ye Fan smiled, "They all look down on Lie Beiyao's leader, but how bad can the fourth brother be?"
"Yes. Ding Yi bowed, "That subordinate retreated first." ”
......
The wind is sluggish, rolling up bursts of residual sand.
The two armies were in full array, waiting for the commander to give the order to draw their swords.
Nie Muchen rode a brown horse and was at the front, and at this moment he was silently looking at the woman in white opposite.
Lie Beiyao was dressed in white, and her snow-white cloak fluttered in the wind. She rode a white horse and carried a long sword, and it was Duanmu Ling, the Marquis of Yanjing, who stood beside her.
"It's beautiful. Nie Muchen issued a heartfelt approval.
"Huh?" The general beside him was stunned for a moment, and looked at Nie Muchen with a strange gaze.
"It's a pity. Nie Muchen smiled, "Although I don't want to do anything to the beauty." ”
On the other side, Lie Beiyao silently raised his long sword and swung it cleanly. "Kill!" The shouting of killing sounded behind him, and the Beixuan Army rode his horse and whipped the general, Nie Muchen pulled the corners of his mouth, "Fight." ”
The two sides fought. The Northern Xuan Army took the lead - suppressed for a long time, and finally got permission to do a big job, and the Northern Xuan soldiers were pressed with a fire in their hearts, and their combat effectiveness exploded, and one person could be worth ten people.
But after a long time, the Beixuan army gradually became tired, and at this time, the Jiuchen army went against the wind, reversed the wind of the Beixuan army, and relied on the large number of people and excellent weapons, forcing the Beixuan army to retreat, with one dead and wounded.
Nie Muchen didn't care about that, he directly patted the horse to find Lie Beiyao, Lie Beiyao had no intention of escaping, he held his sword to meet the enemy, and the two of them called to get started, and they were evenly matched.
"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to be deep in the deep palace, and her kung fu was much better than those delicate noble ladies. Nie Muchen sneered.
"General Nie has won the award. Lie Beiyao dodged Nie Muchen's sword sideways, "General Nie is also as rumored - brave and good at fighting." ”
"Hahaha!" Nie Muchen laughed, "It's a pity, I didn't want to be an enemy of the princess, and I didn't want to hurt the princess, I only blame you for Beixuan's weakness, blocking my way to dominate the world." ”
"Beixuan has been established for hundreds of years, and Jiuchen is hundreds of years shorter than Beixuan, how dare General Nie boast of such a Haikou?"
"Hahahaha, that's wrong. Nie Muchen laughed wildly, "Even if you stand in Kyushu for a hundred years without falling, so what! My Jiuchen country is prosperous and has strong military strength, so why not break it!"
"General Nie is right, but I heard that whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Emperor Zhaoning provoked wars in various small border countries for many years, laboring the people and losing money, and the people's hearts? At least the hearts of the princes, I'm afraid he won't get it. Lie Beiyao was slightly mocking, but who expected Nie Muchen's face to change, as if he was provoked, he shouted, "You dare to insult me to Your Majesty, looking for death!"
After speaking, he changed his swordsmanship, Lie Beiyao was invincible, a sword was stabbed in the shoulder, Nie Muchen slashed the sword, stained with blood, and he took the opportunity to pick up the sword again, and stabbed it straight into Lie Beiyao's chest.
Lie Beiyao held Nie Muchen's sword into his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. His hand was cut by Nie Muchen's fierce force, and blood kept gushing out.
Nie Muchen's eyes were fierce, the strength in his hand continued to increase, and the sword blade pierced into it gradually deepened......
Suddenly, a white figure quickly shuttled through the crowd, and quickly threw a dart from his hand, just hitting Nie Muchen's sword-holding hand.
Nie Muchen subconsciously let go of his hand, and another dart was thrown over, he dodged sideways, leaned back, and almost fell off the horse, but before he could sit down, another dart was shot, he hurriedly kicked his legs, jumped up, and flew off the horse.
The white figure took this opportunity to quickly jump forward and hug Lie Beiyao's crumbling body, and with a kick of force, he flew away with a light skill.
