Chapter 8: The Battle of the Battle
After the wedding of the second princess of the Victorian Kingdom, Tingyu and the king of Qiangbei, Taka, it was the third day. On the morning www.biquge.info of this day, Taka set off with Tingyu and led his troops back to the territory of the Qiangbei tribe.
Helian Jialu and Konglin tried to quietly leave the city when there were many people, but found that all the gates, including the east gate where the Qiangbei people passed, were well guarded.
In desperation, Helian Jialu had no choice but to go to the royal court to bid farewell to the emperor according to Konglin's words. Emperor Xian obviously did not want to let Helian Jialu return to Helian Jialu's fiefdom, so he kept her on the grounds that he was still thinking about assigning a marriage to Helian Jialu.
Coincidentally, Helian Jialu left the royal tent with his front foot, and the third prince Ge Sheng and the fifth prince Xun came to see the emperor with their hind feet. Emperor Xian thought that Ge Sheng was here for Helian Jialu, and he couldn't help but be a little funny, so he ordered the two brothers to come in to meet him.
"See your father's father. Ge Sheng and Xun Qi bowed and saluted.
"Did you send Tingyu and Taka out of the city?" Emperor Xianhuang gestured to the seat at hand, motioning for the two to sit down and talk.
"Yes, we sent the imperial sister through the East Gate Building, and then came back. After the two sat down, Ge Sheng replied.
"Your imperial sister's matter is settled, I thought, it's time to make plans for the two of you. "Emperor Xian is not without ideas about Helian Jialu, but he is under the control of the queen, and Helian Jialu is Ge Sheng's sweetheart, so Emperor Xian pushed the boat down the river, thinking that it would be better to accomplish this beautiful thing.
"The father and the queen mother have a tacit understanding in the end, and they all say the same thing. Ge Sheng and Xun Qi glanced at each other and said.
"Not really. Xun Qi smiled and agreed.
"My father is busy with state affairs, and he cares so much about his sons, and his sons are moved in their hearts, and they just want to start a business first and then start a family, in order to repay their father. Ge Sheng couldn't use a set of rhetoric to the queen to dispel the emperor's intention to give marriage, so he could only refuse to say like this.
"Father, son-in-law, and third brother are talking to their father about something important today. Taking advantage of the turn between Ge Sheng's words, Xun Qi immediately changed the topic.
Emperor Xian was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the intention of the two, and immediately restrained his smile and said:
"If you're also here to be lobbyists for Gongyebu, then you don't have to speak. ”
"My father, sons, and fifth brother heard the rumors that the Gongye family had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country on the way back to the royal court, and they were really surprised for a while. ”
"If the Gongye family really dares to do such a thing, the third brother and the sons will naturally not intercede for the sinners, but Mr. Gongye has followed his father for many years and taught the sons and brothers archery skills. ”
"Do you mean that I have listened to and believed and wronged the innocent?"
"The son didn't mean this, so he only asked his father to solve the doubts for the son and tell the Gongye family what the so-called crime of 'collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country' was. Ge Sheng said in a respectful tone, with a persistent look in his eyes.
"There are three crimes. First of all, I have always given the Gongye family financial support, hoping that the bow and arrow family can develop more sophisticated weapons and equipment, but the Gongye family has not met my expectations, which can also be seen in the achievements of the cavalry battalion. ”
"If this is the case, Mr. Gongye has no merit and hard work in his life, why did his father condemn him. ”
"If it was only limited in ability and difficult to break through the bottleneck of weapon development, I would not be too aggressive, but the person I sent to investigate yesterday replied that I found that there were a large number of strange weapons hidden in several weapons workshops of the Gongye family, and I didn't feel anything wrong with them after trying them, and they were all failures, right? Now that the country is at war, and so many weapons are hidden, what is the intention of the Gongye family?"
When Ge Sheng heard this, he already knew a little in his heart, but he was afraid that this was all prepared by Gongyebu out of selfishness for the fifth prince Xun Qi who supported him. Even if Gongyebu did not have the intention of collaborating with the enemy, just trying to manipulate the dispute between the princes was already a taboo for the emperor. Yu Guang glanced at Xun Qi, who bowed his head and was silent because of the same thought, Ge Sheng sighed in his heart, and just said:
"That's what my father said. ”
"The second point is that the Gongye family did not stop trading goods with other countries during the war. ”
"Dealings with countries other than belligerents are not excessive, according to law. Xun Qi couldn't help but say.
"We have established an alliance relationship with Yi Guo. Emperor Xian looked at Xun Qi and said with a sharp look in his eyes, "But I heard that when Hengguo Belvedere was attacked by unknown people, some people from the Gongye family died in a foreign land because they sold weapons in Belvedere as usual. ”
"Trading on the land of Hengguo does not necessarily mean selling weapons to the people of Hengguo. Forget it, there is no proof of death anyway. Xun Qi said to himself.
"I know that you have been with Gongyebu for a long time, but don't forget that as a prince, you are responsible for the courtiers and the people, and you must first be responsible for your own judgment. Subjective partiality is the least possible. ”
"Erchen is not partial. I just think that there is no evidence at the moment, and the old ministers of the two dynasties cannot be easily convicted. ”
"Then the third point, the commander of the archery battalion is crazy to fight with the lonely country Yinchen Xuan halfway on the battlefield, and took the initiative to abandon the battle without seeing defeat, and then openly praised the enemy generals in front of his own soldiers. What is it that such acts of helping the enemy army delay time and undermining the morale of our army are not covert collaborators with the enemy?"
"Didn't my father praise him a few days ago for his superb martial arts and proficiency in the art of war, and decided that he and General Bi Yao could go straight to the lonely capital?"
"At that time, I didn't think that one day his superb martial arts might defect, and the art of war he mastered would be used to directly attack the Weidu!"
Therefore, my father blamed Gongyebu for all the madness, blaming him for having no way to follow, and even arsoning with the rebellion. Xun Qi mourned his misfortune and said, "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." ”
"Presumptuous, do you want to follow suit?" Emperor Xian was furious when he heard this, and his voice suddenly doubled.
Xun Qi immediately stood up and was about to argue further with Emperor Xian, when Ge Sheng stepped forward, stopped Xun Qi, and bowed to Emperor Xian, which is rarely used by Uyghurs, and then said:
"My father was angry. The fifth brother is just grateful for the master-apprentice friendship with Mr. Gongye for many years, and regards him as an amiable and respectable elder, and is worried that the Gongye family will be framed this time, so he will not choose to say anything for a while. The number of times Erchen and Mr. Gongye practice archery is not much compared to that of the fifth brother, but after contact, they also have a general understanding of Mr. Gongye's personality. The sons and daughters were brave and tried their best to ensure that the Gongye family would never do anything to secretly cooperate with the enemy country, and asked his father to investigate it in detail, so as not to make the important ministers of the country wronged. ”
"I just sent people to surround the courtyard of Gongye's house to prevent the exchange of news between inside and outside, and I didn't do anything about his Gongye, so you reacted like this. If I ask Gongye Bu about the crime, do you want to condemn me?" Emperor Xian was angry, looked at Ge Sheng and Xun Qi and said loudly.
"Erchen only hopes that his father will give the Gongye family another chance to prove his innocence. If you make your father angry because of this, it is the son who is guilty. Ge Sheng said, and kowtowed to Emperor Xian again.
"You stand up for me. Seeing this, the emperor became even more angry and ordered Ge Sheng.
The father did not agree to the request of the son, and the son did not dare to get up. ”
"Father, the retainers know that you are the most taboo about the betrayal of the courtiers, but the father is a wise monarch, and he will definitely see everything. Xun Qi knew in his heart that Ge Sheng stopped him to let him avoid suspicion, but seeing that the emperor's anger was directed at Ge Sheng, Xun Qi still couldn't help but speak. However, this is nothing less than adding fuel to the fire of the current situation.
Emperor Xian stared at the two brothers who knelt and stood for a moment, and also refused to back down, and dropped a sentence, "You can kneel as long as you want, I can't stop you, avoid the head office", and then left the big tent with his sleeves.
"Third brother, my father is angry, and he can't listen to anything. I will kneel here with you. Xun Qi said as he made a move.
"Don't be impulsive. Ge Sheng once again stopped Xun Qidao, "I believe that my father is right about things and not people, and he doesn't really want to put the Gongye family to death, as long as the Gongye family can contribute to the society and eliminate the doubts of the father, there is still room for things to turn around." ”
"If He Qi can defeat the people of Yin Chenxuan, things may take a turn for the better. ”
"I'll delay a little bit here, and you can send someone to send a message to you as soon as possible. ”
"Yu has a few good horses there, so I'll go over to him, and by the way, we'll discuss it again to see if there are any other countermeasures. Hard work third brother. ”
"Out of the way, you go. ”
Xun Qi walked out of the royal court, rode his horse and went straight to the camp tent of Zuoqiu Yu, the little prince of Zuoqiu, and learned from the guards that Zuoqiu Yu was in the tent of his mother Princess Mo, so he tossed and turned again before meeting Zuoqiu Yu and briefly explaining what happened.
"Horses can be brought at any time, no problem. But now that all the city gates have been set up with access controls, how can the messenger get out of the city gates?" Zuo Qiu Yu responded.
"Doesn't the Fourth Emperor Gu have to go to the temple on the outskirts of the city every month to make incense? With the token specially issued by the father, even in this special period, it should be unimpeded. Is it feasible to let the messenger mix in with the attendants of the Four Emperor Aunts?" Xun Qi said.
"Well, I see, I'll arrange the carriage and horses. Write a letter to what a madman you are. ”
~~~
After the messenger sent by Xun Qi followed Princess Mo's car out of the city, he quietly turned around on the way, and arrived at the military camp of Yu Champion Yu at two o'clock in the middle of the year, and presented the letter to He Qimad.
He read the letter so wildly that the right hand holding the letter unconsciously clenched up, and the edge of the letter folded. Seeing this, Gongye Huanhuan, who was sitting opposite He Qifang, asked out loud:
"Senior brother, is it my father's letter?"
He Qifang didn't answer, just shook his head, handed the letter to Gongye Huanhuan, and then got up and rushed out of the big tent.
Gongye Huanhuan wanted to catch up with He Qi Qi on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was concerned about the content of the letter, and he hesitated, and when he walked out of the big tent, he was no longer crazy. Gongye Huanhuan had no choice but to flatten the letter and hurriedly browse the text on the letter, and the next moment, she immediately showed a panicked and worried expression.
In the center of the battlefield ahead, Champion Yu and Wu Mian were fighting fiercely. has fought many times, and the two have a lot of experience in how to do enough and be real on the premise of not hurting each other, so that the scene of the two people learning martial arts with a leisurely attitude fell into the eyes of a group of soldiers, and it turned out to be a desperate posture.
Seeing that it took a lot of time, according to the position of the sun, it was already past two quarters of the Shen hour, and it would not be long before it was dark and had to withdraw the troops, and the black crown was no longer "entangled" with Yu Guanguan, but turned back to the gate tower of the lonely country when he saw it. When the crown retreated into the city, the gates fell.
"Escaping before the battle, what kind of ability. General Ben is waiting here, you come out and fight again!" Yu Guanguan shouted in the direction of the gate of the Lonely Country.
"I'm in a bad mood today, so I won't play with you. Do you want to fight again, okay, do you have the ability to come up?" At this time, the black crown had already ascended the city gate, and looked down at Champion Yu from the top of the city wall, and said with a mocking face.
When Champion Yu heard this, he didn't say a word, only took out three feather arrows from the horse's back, and simply bent his bow and arrows, and saw that the three arrows were fired at once, and the arrows pierced the void and shot straight towards the city. Yu Guanguan's arrow really used enough strength, but due to the range of the arrow, the feather arrows fell down before they reached the city wall.
At this time, a voice sounded not far behind Yu Guanguan:
"General Yu, let me come!"
Yu Guanguan subconsciously looked back, and the people who came were naturally crazy. I saw that while he spoke, he successively took the spears of three soldiers in his left hand, and led the reins with his right hand to urge the horse forward, and soon crossed Yu Guanguan's mount and approached the city wall of the lonely country.
Yu Guanguan looked shocked, not only because of how crazy he suddenly appeared, but also because he saw his solemn expression. Is something wrong?
When Yu Guanguan was distracted, He Qifang's right hand suddenly released the reins and threw the first spear, the tip of which was inserted into the crack in the wall above the city gate about a zhang away from the head of the city wall. Immediately afterwards, the second spear came out of his hand and landed at the first spear diagonally to the right, four or five feet away. The third spear followed, two feet below the head of the wall, in the same longitudinal direction as the first.
When all the spears were shot, the madman had already arrived at the city gate, and then reined in the horse, stood on the saddle with both feet, took the saddle as the horizontal plane, jumped into the air with the tip of his toes, and stepped on the first spear with his right foot, and the man jumped up a few points, and then the left foot borrowed the second spear, and the right foot borrowed the third spear, and with both hands on the wall, the man fell on the city gate tower.
The whole process was only a few blinks of an eye, and the people in the Hidden Dust Pavilion on the city gate tower barely had time to react. Taking advantage of this short opportunity, He Qi pulled out the third spear on the city wall with his backhand, and the spear rotated in a circle with the movement of his hand, and six people fell in front of him in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Wu Mian was the first to react, and immediately shouted:
"Archer!"
Soon, a round of feathered arrows was fired, and how crazy it was that there were spears to resist, and he was unscathed.
Subsequently, Wu Mian and Xun Xuan took a few steps forward, and were about to deal with He Qi, but they were stopped by the blockage of stepping on the city tower when they heard the news:
"Crown, seek destruction, and retreat. ”
"Childe. The two of them then stepped back on each side, so that the rut and the crazy gaze could meet.
"It's not easy for you to get to this point. But the next step can only be difficult to move an inch. He said madly after staring at him, and after a momentary look, he also found a strange look of madness: he seemed to have a desperate determination to destroy the city.
"Last time, there will be a result this time. He said coldly.
"Lord Xiaoxuan, let me solve it. Chen Ou, who came up to the city tower with the block, said loudly.
Chen Ou can be called the three major guards of Yinchen Xuan along with Xue Chi and Shen Luo, and his martial arts are naturally not low, and he is almost between Shen Luo, which is much better than blocking ruts. In other words, Chen Ou fought against He Qiqi, and if he wanted to win, it would be much easier than blocking the rut.
"How good Uncle Lao Ou personally took action. Blocked rut looked at Chen Ou and said.
"I haven't helped much since the war began. It is better to take this opportunity today to establish your prestige by the way. Chen Ou said with a faint smile on his face.
"Well, now that Uncle Gull has opened his mouth, I'll sit on the side and enjoy it. As he spoke, he handed his sword forward.
"It's just a junior to deal with, and you can't use the sword of Lord Xiaoxuan. Although Chen Ou's tone is arrogant, his arrogance is definitely capital.
He Qi was looking at Chen Ou like this on the other side, and he didn't dare to despise it a little, and when he saw Chen Ou just picking up a feather arrow in his hand and walking towards him like a sword, he held his breath and didn't dare to relax at all.
In front of the National Formation, when Gongye Huanhuan arrived, it was this scene that caught her eye.
Yu Guanguan, who had already retreated to the cavalry camp queue, seemed to look sideways consciously, and found that Gongye Huanhuan's face was slightly pale, and his expression was the same as how crazy he was, so he turned his horse's head and walked towards Gongye Huanhuan, jumped off the horse a few steps away from her, and said:
"What's going on? ”
Gongye Huanhuan's gaze fixed on Yu Guanguan's face for a moment, and she was silent for a while, obviously hindering her political position and hesitating to explain the truth to Yu Guanguan. However, in the panic, it seems that someone needs to talk to him, not to mention that the so-called "each serving his master" is finally a brother and brother, Gongye Huanhuan no longer worries, and said in a low voice:
"My father was wronged and accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the emperor sent troops to surround the entire Gongye family. The senior brother wants to prove the innocence of the bow and arrow family with practical actions. ”
"There was no rumor of such a big thing. When Yu Guanguan heard what Gongye Huanhuan said, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"For the past two days, the gates of the city have been closed, and I am afraid that someone will not pass on the message. It took a lot of effort for the five princes to get the letter delivered. Gongye Huanhuan said as she looked back at the crazy body on the city wall, "Senior brother is in danger of falling into the enemy formation alone?"
"I haven't seen that middle-aged man make a move, but you've seen and heard of Yinchen Xuan's behavior. The owner of the camp will not have to worry about his life. If you want to make a breakthrough in today's battle, the period before sunset is the last chance. Yu Guanguan comforted Gongye Huanhuan and said, and he was already very sure in his heart who would win and who would lose with Chen Ou and How crazy he was, so he sat on the wall and watched.
Chen Ou and He Qifang used weapons that were not commonly used on weekdays, and the scope of the two of them was limited to a small open space on the city wall, so they failed to exert their full strength.
How mad he was holding the spear, and the whistling sound of the sharp blade cutting through the void left behind by the spear could be clearly heard in the place where he stood a few feet away, which showed how much strength he used. However, the spear's attack could not be shown in front of Chen Ou, Chen Ou only relied on the feather arrows in his hand, and resisted all the crazy moves like four or two thousand catties, and suppressed the crazy movements with softness. In just one cup of tea, the strength of the two sides has reached a high level.
Chen Ou quickly exchanged a look with the block, and then said:
"I don't know what made you cut off your back and fight for your life. But I pity that you are a talent, and I don't want to take your life. Go back to your camp. ”
If you stop halfway this time, I'm afraid it will really be treason and collaboration with the enemy. How crazy he thought. Even if you are doomed, you can't back down.
"If you and I are enemies, why should we be soft-hearted? Thinking of this, He Qi said wildly, and at the same time pointed the spear directly at Chen Ou.
Chen Ou smiled indifferently, threw away the feather arrow in his hand, and turned to face the madness with his bare hands.
The two of you come and go on the city wall, and Gongye Huanhuan under the city can only worry about herself. Yu Guanguan always paid attention to the every move of several people, and after seeing clearly the blocking rut and Chen Ou's intentions, he quickly ordered:
"Yu Zhi, Yu Ji, you each take a group of men and horses to go around the city from the side, distract the attention of the enemy, and I will go to rescue the camp master He back. ”
"Yes, General. Yu Zhi and Yu Ji received the order, and then began to act according to Yu Champion's instructions.
"General Yu be careful. Gongye Huanhuan said to Yu Guanguan.
Champion Yu nodded, and then rode out of the camp.
On the one hand, he had the intention to leave wildly, and on the other hand, Yu Champion was very cooperative and went out in person, so except for a few feathered arrows that were sparsely shot, Yu Champion walked almost unimpeded to the bottom of the city tower. Seeing that He Qiqi was still in a stalemate with Chen Ou unmoved, Yu Guanguan couldn't help but scolded He Qifang in his heart for not knowing what to do, and then shouted at him:
"If you die here, who else can save the person you want to save!"
This sentence finally woke up He Qi like a dream, withdrew, and safely entered the queue of the Uyghur cavalry battalion under the response of Yu Guanguan.
At the moment of meeting his gaze, he suddenly picked up the feather arrow thrown away by Chen Ou, and used the arrow as a sword to unintentionally make two moves, and while completing the hand movements, he also made a conversation with Chen Ou, so as not to be suspicious in the U.S. army. Champion Yu immediately memorized the message conveyed by the moves used to block the rut, and then led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to retreat back to the camp.
