Chapter 58: Life and Death
At dawn, Yanyun Pass was closed, the wall was full of corpses, and two Spirit King Nine Duan masters of Beiqi Wangmen were cleaning the battlefield with a group of brown armor warriors, only to hear one of them suddenly ask: "We are deliberately late, the eldest prince won't blame it, right?"
I heard another person reply: "It's enough to win the moment, and when the time comes, just talk about the function." ”
On the ground, Deputy General Hao Shijie spat out bursts of blood and struggled, even though four big knives were pierced in his body, he still held the Tang knife in his right hand and was ready to fight for the last time.
Hao Shijie raised his knife and was about to slash at the back of the man in front of him, but he saw that the man turned around and slapped him in the air, knocked Hao Shijie out of the city wall, and fell towards the pass under the abyss.

Between the slopes of the camp leading to Yanyang City, the hundreds of Northern Qi warriors left behind are cleaning up the battlefield, a red horse and red armor on the ground, one thousand white dragon volunteers, eight or nine hundred fell motionless in a pool of blood, the Northern Qi warriors were beheaded one by one, the blood that flowed into the river dyed everything on the ground red, next to the corpse of the white dragon warriors, lay the corpses of three or four thousand Northern Qi warriors, God knows how tragic this resistance battle was, the white dragon cavalry heavy rifle cavalry battalion used its own lives to buy enough time for the retreat of 100,000 people in Yanyang City.
In Yanyang City, more than 20,000 Northern Qi warriors poured into the city, and the people in the city and surrounding villages had fled into Yangping Pass under the escort of 4,000 rounds of Hulin's army.
In the Yangping Pass, Taizhongshan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and under the treatment of the military doctor, he was much better, and he was sleeping and recuperating in bed, in the pass, 100,000 people of Yanyang City fled to the cities in the south with their families, and after this Yangping Pass, the southern region is a horse and a flat river, and there is no natural danger to defend.
On the Yangping Pass, the four thousand Lin family troops plus the defenders of Yanyang City and the defenders of Yangping Pass, there are more than 5,000 people, and at this moment these 5,000 people are the last barrier for the south to defend the North Qi, once it is broken, tens of millions of people in the south are in danger.
Time is tight, the task is heavy, the five thousand defenders are reorganizing their armaments, building a series of city fortifications such as guarding the ditch, falling rocks, and ground thorns, on the city wall at the juncture, even the aura in the body of the beacon fire is almost exhausted, and at this moment is leaning on the wooden chair to recuperate, the night frost forest on the side with Lin Dong's military order and rushed all night, and now it is too late to say anything, fortunately, the two false holy decrees and fake military orders have been arranged in advance to send fast horses to Lin Xiangfu, which may be able to help General Lin in the court.
At the end of the avenue in the north of the pass, Lin Zilong fled back with more than fifty remnants, everyone was seriously injured, the white armor, the white horse and the white gun were dyed a piece of blood red, Lin Zilong's left ear was cut off, he was stabbed three times in the abdomen, he was hit by an arrow in his right thigh, and he was still stuck with arrow feathers, and he sat on the horse weakly, relying on horsepower to catch up with Yangping Pass, which was not far in front of him, and there was a dying white dragon volunteer cavalry soldier on the back of the horse in front of him, only to hear him muttered before leaving:
"General. ”
Lin Zilong looked at him tiredly, and just wanted to say something, but he knew that everything was useless, so he just replied, "Yes." ”
"For the brothers...... Stay alive. ”
When the words fell, the soldier closed his eyes and fell into Lin Zilong's arms.
There was no tear in Lin Zilong's eyes, because he was just a little sad in his heart, and blood gushed out more and more from several wounds on his body, and only by suppressing this extreme pain could he have a chance to return to Yangping Pass and strive to live.
Looking at the dozens of cavalry on the side of the avenue from afar, the white and red, Night Frost Lin shouted: "It's Zilong." ”
As soon as this sound fell, he was already flying away, and Lian Fenghuo ran out of the customs with hundreds of soldiers and followed.
As soon as the Night Frost Forest flew to Lin Zilong's side, the white horse seemed to be spiritual, knelt on the ground, and let the Night Frost Forest hold Lin Zilong in his arms, even if dozens of white dragon soldiers around him were seriously injured, Night Frost Lin couldn't take care of so much at the moment, and flew to the Chaoyang Pingguan Military Medical Office with Lin Zilong in his arms.
Lin Zilong's white horse knelt down and could no longer stand up, and the five arrow feathers in the horse's back had already left a bloodstain along the horse's leg and tail, and suddenly fell again, dying on the avenue, motionless.
In mid-air, Lin Zilong still held on to his breath, and muttered to himself in the arms of the Night Frost Forest: "Tell my father, Zilong didn't disappoint him." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Zilong fainted, leaving only the Night Frost Forest to hurry away.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, in the open space in front of the palace hall, hundreds of civil and military officials exchanged heads, and the news that the Lin family army had lost Yanyun Pass and Yanyang City and lost 50,000 soldiers was only one night, and it had spread all over the government and the opposition.
Lin Dong finally received the latest battle report and the two fake holy decrees and fake military reports before entering the court, and walked towards the head of the hundred military generals and officials on the left, hundreds of civil and military officers along the way, no one saluted him and greeted him, and even some officials who occasionally made friends in the past also avoided with their side faces, not wanting to be too involved in this "defeated general" at this moment.
The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, the fluffy phoenix is not as good as a chicken, Lin Dong, the mighty tiger, naturally knows who pulled out his tiger teeth and claws, but now he has to fight with the phoenix, in exchange, maybe the eighteen years of hard work have been lost.
On the main hall of the palace, the eunuch in front of the palace shouted: "The time has passed, the time has come, and hundreds of officials have entered the court." ”
When everyone heard this, they all marched towards the hall together, and the generals and ministers next to Lin Dong were all far away from him as if they were hiding from the plague god.
On the palace hall, after some officialdom of "Chitose" and "Long live", the Queen Mother Zhongda entered and sat on the right side, the emperor Zhao Meng, who had rarely attended the early dynasty, was also unprecedentedly in the early dynasty today, sitting on the left side, everyone looked at each other without saying a word, and everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, knowing that the little emperor Zhao Meng was going to the court today to protect whom.
In the palace, Zhong Yan, the auxiliary minister, is the first of the civil officials, behind him is the right minister Ye Jian, the general Zhong Ze is the first of the military generals, and behind him is the left minister Lin Dong.
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, Yanyun Pass is the first Xiongguan in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, my Great Southern Kingdom has never been lost for thousands of years, and now the Lin Jiajun first lost Yanyun Pass overnight, and then lost Yanyang City, losing 50,000 generals in my southern country, which is really damaging my southern national body, and should be punished according to the crime. ”
As soon as he said this, the hall was silent, and all the officials kept silent, but Lin Dong had already expected it, his expression was not shocked, his face did not change, but he stepped out to the right, and sighed loudly: "Okay!
Lin Dong's voice was as high as thunder, echoing in the empty hall, everyone heard the shock, Zhao Meng was even more frightened and his heart jumped to his throat, but he heard Lin Dong shout again: "However, before you want to punish me Lin Dong, you need to punish two people first!"
