Chapter 257: The Battle of Justice
"Open the gates and let our soldiers fight back at the enemy head-on!" The queen ordered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The city gate opened, and countless soldiers wearing armor and holding swords rushed out, shouting and killing to the sky, the two sides fought fiercely, the sound of blades colliding, the neighing of war horses, the sound of weapons breaking through the air, the muffled snort of soldiers who were slashed by swords, and the trembling sound of the earth...... All the sounds are intertwined and diffused, interpreting the callousness and permanent trauma of war.
The 5,000 iron cavalry led by Cheng Yanjin rushed in front, followed by the infantry that followed. The enemy is strong and not as easy to deal with as expected. Due to the long journey, the battle began before a good rest, and the infantry suffered heavy casualties.
The enemy was exhausted by the enemy on his belly and back, and suffered heavy casualties. The situation is getting worse and worse for them, and if they don't break through, they may be wiped out.
Suddenly, a drum sounded, and then a man responded to the sound of the drum. In an instant, the sky was dark, and countless wild wolves surrounded them from all directions, biting people when they saw them. The Imperial Army, which had been superior, gained the upper hand for a while. The soldiers fought the wolves with their weapons and waited for an opportunity to escape. The wolves are gathering more and more, but they are specifically attacking the Imperial army. The Imperial army was exhausted by the wolves, giving the enemy a respite.
At first, the daughter-in-law army was optimistic, thinking that it would not be long before the war would end, and then they set up a banquet to celebrate their success. This unexpected situation took them by surprise. The joy of victory disappeared in an instant, and the clouds of war loomed over everyone's hearts again.
The wolves began to move in this direction, and the female soldiers had to abandon the enemy army to deal with the wolves, and the enemy soldiers took the opportunity to kill many female soldiers.
"Where are those wolves?" Cheng Yanjin sat on his horse and yelled at the soldiers next to him.
"I don't know, I just heard the beating of drums, and then the wolves appeared." The soldier replied while using the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand to pick an enemy weapon.
"Pounce", a wolf pounced, Cheng Biting Jin's horse was startled, and stood up all of a sudden, Cheng Biting Jin almost fell off the horse. Cheng Biting Jin desperately grabbed the reins of the horse before he could control the horse.
Just as Cheng Biting Jin was about to restrain his mind and prepare to give the wolf just now two axes, he only heard a gust of wind in his ears, and an eight-point snake spear spear was stabbing at Cheng Biting Jin's eyebrows, Cheng Biting Jin chuckled in his heart, and said secretly, "It's not good, my life is over." ”
At this moment, an iron fan flew in, and with a loud sound, the sound of the snake spear and spear was flicked back.
Cheng Yanjin was shocked into a cold sweat. When he looked back, Fang found Qing Xuan standing not far from him in a black tights.
There was no time to speak, and wolves kept attacking, and everyone was nervous to deal with it. Seeing that the Imperial soldiers were killed and wounded more and more, and the cavalry team was also scattered by the wolves, the army had lost its original combat effectiveness.
The addition of the Cheng Mansion guards did not turn the situation around much. Everyone was tired of dealing with the wolves, and the wolves died in waves and waves.
"It seems that I did not die at the hands of the enemy, I am afraid that I will die in this group of wolves." Cheng Yanjin thought to himself. Although he dealt with wolves a lot when he was in Wagangzhai, he knew that it was okay to deal with one or two wolves, but it was not so easy to deal with a pack of wolves. As the saying goes, "A lone tiger can't stand a pack of wolves." "And these flesh-and-blood human beings.
The enemy soldiers became arrogant again, and with the cooperation of the wolf army, they took the opportunity to regain a lot of lost ground, and the situation began to turn in their favor.
At some point, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning struck through the clouds, and then, thunder rolled from the sky, "boom......
It looks like it's going to rain. If the battle does not end before nightfall, it will be quite detrimental to both the Imperial army and the army of the daughter country. Because wolves can fight in the dark, but people cannot. If people don't have lights, most of their combat effectiveness will be damaged, and when the time comes, they can only wait for the wolves to eat.
"Click-" A loud thunder fell overhead. A wolf howled and fled, smoke rising above its head.
Then, another thunderclap fell, and another wolf was struck by lightning.
At first, Cheng Biting Jin didn't care, but then he found out that something was wrong, why more and more lightning struck the wolf, which didn't seem to happen occasionally.
Qing Xuan was covered in blood and fought with the wolves, while protecting Cheng Biting Jin's safety. When he discovers that the wolves are afraid of thunder, he suddenly realizes something.
Bing Yu descended from the sky with dozens of heavenly soldiers, and the heavenly soldiers laid a net to catch the wolves, and Lei Gong released a lightning strike in the clouds, and the rampant wild wolves had nowhere to escape, and they were caught by the heavenly soldiers.
It turned out that Bingyu was fertilizing the roses in the flower garden at home, and suddenly the housekeeper rushed over and said, "A fellow villager of mine who works in Cheng's mansion told me that the young master went to the southern women's country, saying that it was to protect Master Cheng. What can you do? Will the young master be in danger? ”
Bing Yu listened to the housekeeper's words, didn't say a word, picked up the weapon and chased after him. She knew that Qing Xuan would definitely be in danger this time, and she couldn't watch him in danger and ignore it.
When they chase down the daughter country, they find that the wolves are attacking the Empire's army. She was about to make a move, only to find that the wolves had attacked the army under the impetus of the enemy, and a wizard-like figure stood on a high place, waving a talisman paper in his hand and muttering words in his mouth. And wherever his rune paper pointed, the wolves attacked. In order to recover the huge wolf pack, the only thing Bing Yu could think of was to ask Lei Gong and the Heavenly Soldiers for help.
At night, the dark clouds dissipated, and a bright moon rose in the northwest sky. During the day, the battlefield with all kinds of sounds was full of corpses and rivers of blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Except for a small number of enemy troops who managed to break through, the rest were completely annihilated by the army of the empire and the daughter country.
In the camp of the daughter country, the imperial army is receiving the warm hospitality of the king of the daughter country. In this battle, the imperial army lost more than half of it, and in order to thank these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, the soldiers of the daughter country specially dug a large cemetery for them and buried all these soldiers in it.
The camp tent was brightly lit, and the soldiers pushed their cups and changed their lamps to congratulate them on the joy of victory.
The next day, the troops returned to the court and reported the details of the expedition to the Tang king. King Tang gave rich rewards to Cheng Yanjin and other generals. And a certain amount of pension was given to the families of the deceased. At the end, Tang Wang said: "I heard that there is a little dragon girl named Long Bingyu who has made great contributions, and announced that she came to meet her." ”
In the Daming Palace, Bingyu bowed to King Tang, and King Tang said: "Are you the little dragon girl who saved the soldiers of the whole army?" ”
Bingyu replied, "Yes." Your Majesty. ”
Seeing that Bingyu didn't get up, King Tang said, "Get up and answer." I forgive you for your innocence. ”
Bing Yu said: "Your Majesty Xie." ”
"You are the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?" Tang Wang asked curiously.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Thinking of the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe, Li Shimin felt a little guilty, how could the matter have come to this, I don't know if the Dragon King of the East China Sea still hates him after all these years. Now, seeing that the old dragon king's daughter saved him as a Tang soldier, the people were very moved, and they felt even more guilty about the old dragon king.
"I am an old friend of your father, since you are here, no matter what, you should also be my niece, and now, you have saved me as a sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and I am ready to reward you." What do you want? ”
"Since I am an old friend of my father, then I can be regarded as doing my best for my father, so I don't need any reward." Bing Yu was born in the Dragon Palace, and he had never seen any rare treasures, so he was not interested in those rewards.
"Since you have made meritorious contributions to my Tang Dynasty, you still want a reward. Look at me, I'm making you an official? What do you still want? By the way, I remember that this year's new champion seems to be called Bingyu, it can't be you, right? Shimin suddenly remembered that this year's new branch and the first place, and the name of the champion he hand-picked by the imperial pen was also Bingyu, so he became more and more curious.
"It's the little woman." Bing Yu cleared her throat.
"Even you, why don't you accept the official job that this king has given you?" Tang Wang leaned forward to see how Bing Yu explained.
"Something happened at that time, so it was time to go back to the pilgrimage."
"Oh. That's right. King Tang nodded, but he guessed in his heart what was the situation that made this kid not return to the court on time. I felt that talking to a little girl for too long seemed inappropriate, so I wanted to end the topic quickly.
"So be it. I named you 'Yilong', rewarded a cart of gold, silver and jade silk, and crowned the three-grade official of the Hanlin Academy, do you think it's okay? ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I see that I have received the name of 'Yilong', and I don't need anything else. Over the years, I have walked the rivers and lakes, unwilling to be bound, and asked His Majesty to fulfill it. "Bing Yu has always regarded money as dung, so all those gold, silver, jade silks and the like have been rejected.
Seeing that she was unwilling to accept official positions or money and rewards, and she was not reluctant, she secretly praised the Dragon King for giving birth to a good daughter.
After retiring from the dynasty, Shimin and Wei Zheng talked about this child, and they always felt that it was a pity not to recruit this child into the palace. Wei Zheng said: "Since Your Majesty likes it, why don't I go and talk to the Dragon King and let him agree with you to take his daughter as a concubine?" ”
"I don't know if the Dragon King agrees? You know, the matter of the Jinghe Dragon King, it is estimated that he still remembers it. Shimin sighed.
"Your Majesty reminded me when he talked about the Jinghe Dragon King, I think that because of this incident, the Dragon King is really enough to agree to your proposal to the Ice Jade Girl. If Your Majesty doesn't give up, the minister is willing to go for Your Majesty, and if the Dragon King Guo resents you because of the Jinghe Dragon King, Your Majesty will also die of this heart. "Wei Zheng has followed Shimin for so many years, and he knows his mind best. And this matter can only be done by him, and no one else is suitable.
Shimin nodded. asked Wei Zheng to prepare a generous gift, and the next day he went to visit the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
In the Crystal Palace, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was a little shocked when he saw Wei Zheng. Because the fairy world has been in contact with the human world, there must be something big about this Wei Cheng's sudden visit.
The Dragon King asked quietly, "Prime Minister, which gust of wind blew you here today?" ”
Wei Zheng said with a spring breeze on his face: "I am here to say good news to the Dragon King." ”
"Daoxi? Where does the joy come from? The Dragon King was stunned, with a clouded expression.
"My monarch has taken a fancy to the ninth princess of your family and wants to take her as a concubine. Look, isn't that a good thing? Wei Zheng deliberately leaned towards the Dragon King.
"This matter, if there is anything else to consider, my family's Yu'er's matter is absolutely impossible." The Dragon King waved his hand.
"What? The dragon king still holds a grudge against the events of the past? Wei Zheng asked tentatively.
"I didn't care about the things back then, it's just that the little girl has already promised to marry someone else, and she can't marry again." The dragon king stroked his beard and said.
"But I don't know which official family you married?"
"Prime Minister, don't ask, just go back and tell him that my daughter already has a mother-in-law, so let him find another family's daughter."
Wei Zheng went back and learned the words of the Dragon King from Li Shimin like this, Shimin felt a lot of regrets in his heart, but he didn't want to destroy the relationship with the Dragon King that had been restored with great difficulty, so he had to endure the pain and cut his love.
