Mu Qing crouched behind the sheltered grass, concentrating on the two camps.

I saw that under the banner of the wolf's head, the Turkic soldiers were lined up in three formations, the first group was roaring and rushing to the city gate tower, the arrows were like rain, a round rushed through, and most of them fell, but the speed was extremely fast, just when the Sui army on the city tower changed teams to draw bows and arrows, the Turkic soldiers in the latter round had crossed the fallen ones, stepped on the corpses of their companions and then pushed forward, and the big stone flew like a meteor to the city tower.

Among the Turkic soldiers who rushed to the gate at the head, thirty or twenty warriors with strong waists and round bodies suddenly ran out, covered in iron armor, and lined up in two teams under the city gate, each holding a boulder, and threw themselves into the city gate tower with stones. Immediately after that, the second team also ran and slammed into the city gate, and so on.

"The wolf cub is so violent! The siege did not make the battering ram. Rua Liu cursed with a sip.

Ren was the first formation of the attack was more brave and tragic, and the second formation of Turkic soldiers sat upright, but did not move, and the number was obviously less than that of the first and third formations. Looking at the third formation, it is similar to the first formation, it is not equipped with horses, and they are all standing underground, with their backs to the city gate tower and the second formation, showing a semi-encircled trend, which is obviously a defensive resistance formation.

Mu Qing pointed to the second formation and said to Lu Aliu: "Attack in front and defend in the back, the middle formation, there must be no doubt that the main force of the Turks, when the city gate is broken and the iron cavalry pours into the city, then there will be no disaster." If General Yun's reinforcements came from behind, and the third formation happened to resist, Mo said that he wanted to relieve the siege of the city tower, that is, even the main force of the second formation could not get close, and the reinforcements would be lost in vain. ”

Lu Aliu stared at the battle below, touched his nose and thought about her words, and slapped the ground, "That's exactly the truth." Then he turned his head to look at Mu Qing, "Or they all say that Qi Niangsheng came to match Du Alang, and he actually knows these things." So Yanmen is not saved? ”

"It's just on paper." Mu Qing pondered for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed to the second formation in the middle, "Shibi Khan placed the elite soldiers in the middle of this formation, it can be seen that the love is tight, if there are strange soldiers from both sides directly attack his elite soldiers, the main force will be scattered, and the main force of reinforcements will leave the third formation of defense, and directly take the first formation to intercept and attack the city, or be lucky to hold it." ”

Before the words fell, the drums beat loudly, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the huge cloud-shaped banner rushed from behind. Mu Qing and Lu Aliu's hearts sank at the same time, afraid of what would happen. Yun Dingxing personally led a large army to kill from behind, facing the third formation of the Turkic soldiers.

The Turkic soldiers did not hesitate in their movements, and immediately surrounded the iron shield, which was stacked three layers high, impermeable, and the fold was not enough to exhale, and the first round of arrows of the Sui army crackled and hit the iron shield, bouncing far away. The second round of arrow rain was also to no avail.

Taking advantage of the gap between the Sui army's arrows and bows, the Turkic army suddenly opened the iron shield, like a tide breaking through the wall from behind the copper wall, holding a bright scimitar, rushing forward and slashing. The shouts of slaughter and the beating of war drums rang out in one place.

Rua Liuzhong sighed and didn't turn his head away, "Well, that's the end of it. ”

The four hidden in the grass all held disappointment, and each watched the battle in silence. Mu Qing suddenly felt a little strange, and carefully scanned the battle situation below, and said softly: "Why don't you see Erlang?" ”

But she was not allowed to question any more, and there was another urging of drums from the field, and out of nowhere, two cavalry rushed out, thundering, and the lances leaned forward, and suddenly pierced into the elite army of the Turks.

The people who hid on the hillside to watch the battle were caught off guard, not to mention the Turkic soldiers who were staring at the gate tower that was about to be breached, all of them tightened their reins and were about to rush forward to enter the pass, where could they expect a strong cavalry from the flank.

"That's ......" Lu Aliu looked at it with his eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly became excited, "That's the five hundred cavalry that General Yun allocated to Erlang!" ”

Mu Qing hurriedly closed his eyes to look at the past, it was almost afternoon, the sky was not as bright as at noon, the scuffle below was a pile, people turned on their backs, and the soldiers who were vaguely inserted into the formation were covered with fine scale armor, after all, the Turkic soldiers did not bear the reputation of eagle and wolf soldiers in vain, so they quickly came back to their senses and raised their knives to cut back.

But Li Shimin was still missing, and Mu Qing was worried in his heart, could it be that there were some branches in the army? Du Ruhui was still lying in the tent, and there was no way to make any abnormalities.

In his thoughts, seeing that the five hundred cavalry were gradually becoming overwhelmed, they were rushing left and right, and they should have cut off the Turkic elite army formation in one go, but now they only rushed to a stop, showing that they were unable to resist the enemy. Those who watched were dejected. Someone asked aloud: "Princess Yicheng has been gone for a long time, why haven't she retreated?" ”

But no one could answer that.

The drums in the battlefield stopped, and the Sui cavalry fought and retreated, and soon the sound of gold sounded, and the cavalry turned their horses' heads and withdrew to the open space on both sides. The soldiers who were guarding the city gate suddenly cooled their hearts and showed their decline, and they broke through the city gate only in an instant.

The Turkic elite is red-eyed, and the murderous aura is together, and it is difficult to stop there. Seeing that the Sui soldiers withdrew their troops on both sides, how could they not chase after Li'er, who was exterminated, and rushed with their horses, and for a while the main force of the Turkic elite soldiers separated from the two roads and scattered to both sides.

The Sui cavalry quickened their horses and retreated with all their strength, and the Turks pursued them closely, running farther and farther, almost to the bottom of the hill where the four of them were hiding.

Lu Ah Liu was anxious, looking around to find a way out, if the real killing will come, he is not afraid, is eager to rise, but this lady is very urgent, since entrusted to him, must protect her. "Feint defeat and lure the enemy!" Mu Qing suddenly woke up, stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Ah Liuyi beside him, signaling him to look down.

Because it is close, the situation below can be seen clearly. But he saw that where the Sui soldiers rode their horses and ran over, a thick iron chain was suddenly pulled up from the ground, more than a foot high from the ground, with iron thorns on it. Unbeknownst to the Turkic soldiers who were chasing after them, the horses that rushed to the front were stumbling on their knees with iron chains, their spikes piercing into the abdomen of their legs, and their front legs were bent to their knees, and they all fell to the ground.

The horses behind them did not have time to restrain, and they followed the habit of rushing to the ground, and for a moment the horses neighed, and the Turkic soldiers all fell under the horses. The Sui soldiers who fled in front of them dismounted at some point, abandoned their long lances, drew their long knives, and the Turkic soldiers who could not fall to the ground climbed up, rushed forward, raised their swords in their hands, and killed them on the spot one by one.

The Turkic cavalry who arrived later saw that the situation was not good, and the leader waved desperately and shouted, and led the soldiers to hurriedly turn their horses and turn back. At this moment, the ground seemed to shake, and rumbling horses' hooves resounded from all sides, and out of nowhere, a cavalry of about 200 men galloped out.

Mu Qing stared at the group of people on the hillside, stunned, and almost missed a few beats of heartbeat. But when he saw the black horse of one color, he immediately covered his body with all his armor, and his hat and helmet were attached to the armor, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he only saw the Mo knife in his hand, which looked like a dark color from a distance, and the speed was so fast that it was like a ghost floating.

Looking at the leading horse, it was Li Shimin who was wearing Xuanjia. This group of men and horses did not shout words, and he did not shout and give orders, but only raised the Mo sword in his hand, and Guo Yi waved at the Turkic soldiers who were about to turn their horses and retreat. All the Xuanjia soldiers lowered their figures, urged them to sit down quickly, and the momentum was like lightning, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and they rushed over without hesitation.

"This is our Xuanjia Army." Lu Aliu rubbed his hands on the side and said: "Look at the itchy hands, if you don't want to protect Qi Niang, you must be going to put on armor and go into battle to kill the enemy together." ”

Only then did Mu Qing recall that when Fang recognized Lu Aliu, he was wearing Xuanjia. She turned her head to look at Li Shimin, who was fighting hard in the battle, he actually secretly trained such a brave wolf army after Honghua returned to the hearts of the people.

I still remember the spirited young man when I first met, but now he is already kingly. Mu Qing unreasonably remembered that on the Qionglong Mountain in Wu County, Yuan Tiangang's words of "breaking the army and turning Lu" into a reflection of today's situation.

The four of them were watching the battle in a daze, and the fierce battle was raging on the hillside over there, and the scattered Turkic soldiers began to run up the hillside. Lu Aliu suddenly woke up and shouted, "Not good! Don't look any further, run fast! ”

Only then did everyone realize that the slaughter had spread to the front, and they hurriedly led their horses down the gentle slope. The road back to the camp was full of desperate soldiers, and they couldn't get through, so they had to turn around and run back, but there were still a few Turkic soldiers who were fleeing and holding scimitars to slash and kill.

After galloping for a while, the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops behind him sounded, and it was extremely urgent. Rua rode his horse and looked back, but the Turkic soldiers behind him left them and ran back. At one time, some Turks shouted loudly, and the one who led the way among the four understood the Turkic dialect and said happily: "The Turks have withdrawn their troops, saying that their royal court is empty and that they have been raided by the Northern Turkic Khan. ”

Mu Qing immediately understood Princess Yicheng's intentions, she lied about the military situation, and led Shibi Khan to open the Yanmen Pass, and led the army back to the royal court to rescue the emergency.

No matter how brave the Xuanjia army was, after all, there were only 500 horsemen, and they not only relieved their sleepiness for a while, but also had no intention of fighting, so they let go of a hole and released them to those Turkic soldiers.

Yanmen Pass, which had been besieged for a month, was actually relieved. The generals who were still resisting to the death above the city tower were a little confused, and suddenly they didn't know what to do.

When Mu Qing returned to the camp, it was already dark. The Xuanjia army did not return to the camp, and together with Lu Aliu and another Xuanjia man who escorted her, they quietly disappeared somewhere, really like ghosts, coming and going without a trace. She followed the 500 elite cavalry team allocated by Yun Dingxing, led by Li Shimin and returned to the camp.

Once in the camp, she returned her horse and went straight to her tent. There was still some way to go from the tent, and in the distance I saw a long figure in a single robe, leaning against the door of the tent. There was a fog in her eyes, and she was afraid that she would not be able to see it really, so she pressed her eyes hard, wiped away the tears pressed out of the eye sockets, and walked forward without stopping, and when she looked at it again, the warm smile that she hadn't seen for a long time was already within reach.

Du Ruhui's shoulder couldn't move, he stretched out his other arm, pulled her closer, leaned over and buried his head in her soft hair, and said in a dumb voice: "I won't teach you to leave me again, even if you die, you can guard in one place." ”

The soldiers in the camp came and went, Mu Qing gently pushed him away, avoiding his gaze, and looked around shyly, "You don't like the sweat and blood stained all over your body......

Before he finished speaking, he had already been taught to pull him into the tent, and before she could react, he had already leaned down, clasped the back of her head with one hand, and the rain suddenly turned her lips and tongue, and the second half of the unfinished sentence was finally blocked by him, and he could not say it again. Mu Qing's mind was surprisingly peaceful, and his consciousness was withdrawn from his body slightly, only the tears on his cheeks fell down his chin and fell to his chest one by one.

At noon the next day, Li Shimin had returned to the camp from Yanmen Pass. Now that the siege has been lifted, Yang Guang was so frightened again, hurriedly passed the reward, and immediately drove back to the Eastern Capital.

He looked at the two people who were still angry a few days ago, at this time, one was back in women's clothes, making a small suit and lowering his eyebrows, and the other showed a warm smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he secretly laughed a few times unconsciously.

He originally wanted to come to discuss the reward with Du Ruhui, but he had not yet said it, he said with a firm smile: "Tang Guogong can grant Taiyuan Taishou this time, Yang Guang's heart, except for your Li family father and son, no one can suppress Shibi Khan." Once the military power is in hand, major events can be raised in the near future. ”

"Brother Du guessed accurately. The father's promotion announcement has not yet come out, and this is right. Li Shimin nodded and replied, then looked at him silently for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "The military power is in hand, and it is difficult to gather military resources." ”

Mu Qinghu laughed softly, raised his hand and pulled out the double-stacked treasure flower golden hairpin from his hair bun, and handed it to Li Shimin, "This golden hairpin is worth tens of millions." ”

Qi Niang laughed. He smiled bitterly: "It has a different meaning from Qi Niang, but if it is worth tens of millions, it is an exaggeration." ”

Mu Qing turned around and took a letter with fire paint from the case, "The letter, together with the golden hairpin, sent to Qiyueju, Jiangdu, will have tens of millions of dollars, I have changed all of them into gold cakes, but now there are bandits everywhere, with such a huge amount of money, there must be little caution and caution on the road." ”

Li Shimin's eyes widened, he looked at Mu Qing in disbelief, and then looked at Du Ruhui, who also smiled on his lips and motioned for him to take it.

He didn't politely push back, but said: "Brother Du and Qi Niang's favor should be repaid in the future." He took it over with a refreshing and sharp face, and on the same day, he selected a hundred from the Xuanjia army, pretended to be ordinary merchants, and went to Jiangdu to transport the seven cents of wealth that Mu Qing had already arranged.

After Li Shimin thanked him and left the account, Du Ruhui asked with a smile: "How much is left of the tens of millions of family property?" ”

Mu Qing pursed his lips and smiled, deliberately not telling him the two points he left, "Together with my marriage beyoke Sutra, it has all been dispersed." Now I have no more to rely on, and if you abandon me again, I will end up hungry, cold, and miserable. ”

He cupped her face, ran his thumb over her lips, and said in a low voice, "Then I will be born with me." ”
