Chapter Thirty-Four: The Poisonous Smoke of the Kirin, the Battle of the Trapped Beasts
Gu Yunxi opened his eyes faintly, and the frightened cries in his ears continued.
"Sister, sister...... Wake up...... Woohoo......"
It's King Chen!
Physically and mentally shocked, Gu Yunxi stood up.
Lan Xin was lying under the bed, her face was pale, a trace of blood had coagulated at the corner of her mouth, and she was not moving at all.
King Chen sat aside, covering his face and crying.
"Lan Xin!"
Gu Yunxi's heart was horrified, and he jumped barefoot to the ground before he had time to kick up the embroidered shoes and lay down beside Lan Xin.
"Lan Xin, what's wrong with you? Lan Xin—"
What the five fingers touched was a cold and slightly stiff body.
With a "buzz" in his brain, Gu Yunxi's body went soft and sat on the ground, tears rolling down from his stunned eyes.
Lan Xin, dead!
Why?
Before she lay down, the girl was still a happy person, and Mei Zizi went to the front hall with everyone to have a banquet.
How could she wake up, she, she was ......
Gu Yunxi Mumu turned his head, and in the face of King Chen's tears, he grabbed his shoulder violently and shook violently:
"You say, you say! What happened while I was sleeping? Lan Xin, Lan Xin, how could Lan Xin, how could it be! ”
"Woo...... I'm afraid, young lady, I'm so scared—"
After the girl tossed like this, King Chen suddenly cried even more fiercely, and plunged into her arms, as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and his body trembled violently:
"Ghosts, ghosts... Fang Cai ghost rushed into the room and killed Sister Lan Xin, it was him, it was him, it was he who killed Miss Lan Xin...... Woohoo......"
Ghost?
Gu Yunxi finally understood, gritted his teeth and looked at the window sash.
Sure enough, the place was wide open, and you could see straight out of the courtyard from the house.
Gu Yunxi closed his eyes heavily, and tears fell.
"Your Highness, that man... Isn't it wearing a mask......
The man on the opposite side nodded vigorously, his face full of horror, and he replied tremblingly:
"Yes, it's him... It's the ghost who bit me in the Imperial Garden! ”
"Woo, Lan Xin......"
Gu Yunxi trembled and crawled beside the cold corpse, and cried loudly again.
She was still thinking about her son when she just entered the palace, and now she finally found Lan Xin, who died a few days after entering the East Factory. She really didn't know how to explain to Fan Lin when she saw him in the future.
The other side of grief is hatred, hatred all over the sky!
She predicted well, she changed her appearance back on the front foot, and the vicious masked man chased after the back foot to the East Factory.
The purpose of killing Lan Xin and her best friend was just to warn her.
He hated her and hated her betrayal!
The mixed cries of men and women attracted Xiao Shen and his wife.
It turned out that the banquet in front of her was almost finished and Gu Yunxi's shadow was still missing, and the two came over to call her.
The crying and grabbing shouts made the two of them push the door and enter the courtyard to know that the big thing was not good, and they pulled their legs and went straight to Gu Yunxi's house.
Immediately, the people in the front hall were also summoned.
After examination, Lan Xin was shocked by internal force and died of the muscles and veins of his whole body.
Such a conclusion made Gu Yunxi even more convinced that the masked man of the Hidden Mountain had really come back to her.
Gu Yunyao was uneasy, hugged her sister tightly and refused to let go, and said with tears on her cheeks:
"Yunxi, you should go into the palace with the palace and hide for a while. No matter how high that person's martial arts are, the current person is lonely and can't break into the palace and be obedient. ”
Gu Yunxi stubbornly wiped his face, and his eyes were fierce:
"No, I can't trouble my sister anymore. He came to me for something other than revenge. ”
Shui Lingling's gaze turned to Cheng Wanli, the other party's eyebrows moved, and he nodded clearly:
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to watch it."
The tacit thing between Gu Yunxi and Cheng Wanli is the jade flute that can be used as a hidden weapon.
At that time, Dongchang asked Wu Yong for the secret of the flute, and it turned out that this was the key to open the Kunhuang underground palace.
Leng Qingtang understood its preciousness, and immediately handed it over to a special place to take care of it.
The stakes are very high, and at this moment, the two children of Emperor Jingxiao are on the scene, and it is inconvenient for Gu Yunxi and Lord Qianhu to mention it clearly.
Snorting, Gu Yunxi lowered his head and sighed:
"Right now, Lan Xin was killed in Dongchang and died for me, it's useless for me, I'm sorry for Brother Fan......"
Cheng Wanli comforted:
"Hey, don't worry about this, I will arrange for someone to bury the girl properly, and I will take care of Fan Lin personally."
Because of a flying disaster, the celebratory banquet was dissolved.
Cheng Wanli instructed the inside and outside of Dongchang and all parts of the capital to strengthen vigilance, and then sent a few groups of fans to be dispatched in casual clothes to escort Concubine Yu and the four princesses back to the palace safely. The medical saint Shantai also sent people to protect him secretly inside and outside the house.
Jiang Huai'an looked at the back of King Chen Hua Nanxin leaving, and a confused fold rolled up between his eyebrows.
"What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Wanli noticed something different and asked.
Jiang Huai'an shook his head slowly, his inquiring gaze still lingering in the direction where the young man had disappeared, and his muttering voice seemed to be muttering to himself:
"It's weird... If that villain holds a grudge against Miss Yun, why did he only attack her maidservants, but let King Chen go? ”
……
Leng Qingtang led the Jinyi Guard into Yunyun on the 13th, and had a smooth round with the soldiers and horses in the central and northwest of Dayi.
After fighting against the Boku army, after more than 20 fierce battles, the Dayi army finally broke through the Yunnan frontier and slaughtered all the way to the south, and successfully recaptured the two cities that had been included in the territory of Dayi.
The Boku army retreated and entered the city of Xuede, while Dayi's soldiers and horses camped thirty miles outside the city.
During the rest and recuperation of the soldiers, Leng Qingtang and several commanders and generals in the army gathered in front of the sand table of the camp tent, carefully studying several combat plans.
Boku has been an important gateway to the Silk Road since ancient times, and as early as thousands of years ago, there were golden-haired and blue-eyed Yi people and horses shuttling back and forth, selling silk, tea and various colors of jade along the way.
The weather on this day is unique, the sky is clear and blue, the hot wind on the plateau is dry, and the climate is always scorching compared to Middle-earth.
The Boku army came to make an appointment.
The drums beat in front of the two armies, and the clouds moved in all directions.
The front wing formation of Dayi led the team by two hussar generals of the Northwest and Middle Route Army.
In the middle wing, Leng Qingtang rode his horse in front of the army in armor, and the phoenix eyes stared coldly at the Boku phalanx in the distance.
On both sides of him, they are the fourth head of the East Factory, the seventh head and the general flag of Jinyiwei.
In this match, a new fierce general of the Boku Army was burly and blue-skinned, and a halberd in his hand killed three generals of the Northwest Army one after another.
The central Qinghu camp sent Ding Lie to meet the enemy.
Ding Lie held a spear in his hand and rushed to the front of the battle.
Immediately, the drums beat to the ground, engulfing the sound of blades clashing.
The scorching sun was obscured by the smoke billowing from the battlefield, and the surging air was filled with the pungent smell of metal friction.
Suddenly, the screams were terrible, and the enemy general was pierced through the breastplate by Ding Lie's shot, and the red light splashed and blood sprayed.
"Good!"
Leng Qingtang could see clearly from behind, a cold light flashed in the phoenix's eyes, and he raised his hand and shouted:
"Drumming!"
Boku's fierce generals were naturally not to be outdone, and endured the pain and brandished the halberd to make ruthless moves. Ding Jie shook the silver spear freely, and his style was sharp.
The two sides fought for more than 100 rounds, and Ding Jie was beaten by the other party
The halberd picks off the horse's pedal and is planted under the horse.
The enemy general, intending to take his head, galloped forward, tearing his face with a sharp sword.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qinghu camp changed horses, and just when Xiao Hua arrived with a knife, Ding Jie's horse was frightened and pulled open its four hooves.
Ding Jie's other foot didn't have time to drag away the horse's pedal, and he was dragged back to the camp by the crazy horse, which can be regarded as picking up half a life.
Before the battle, the halberd fought against the broadsword, and at the moment when the two horses changed positions, the general of Boku was killed by Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua bent down and cut off the opponent's head with a knife in his hand.
The drumming of the Dayi army became more and more intense, and the soldiers frequently waved flags, which greatly boosted their morale.
The commander of the Boku army was so angry that he screamed "wow", and with an order, thousands of troops rushed to the Dayi camp.
The two armies faced each other, and the brutal hand-to-hand combat officially began. Leng Qingtang rode his horse and stared at the battlefield where the fighting continued, and a strange scarlet light flashed in his eyes.
The Boku Iron Cavalry was well-trained, and compared with the troops from the Central Plains, they were significantly more adapted to the climate and environment of the plateau.
Dayi's army has fought many times since its opening, and its energy has been lost, and it has suffered losses in close combat for a long time, and over time it has shown a tendency to lose.
Seeing this, Wei Cao, the hussar general of the Northwest Army, arched his hand on horseback and asked for instructions:
"Lord Leng, this battle should not be consumed for a long time, Mingjin should withdraw his troops."
Leng Qingtang's eyes were cold, and his face sank:
"General, is this going to admit defeat? Now that the arrow is on the string, there is no turning back, and you must win Xue Decheng today. Wenlong! ”
"The subordinates are here!"
Liu Wenlong, the general banner of Jinyiwei, clenched his fist.
"Order, Jinyi Guard will be dispatched and will be arrayed!"
"Yes!"
Liu Wenlong turned around and got on the horse with the Panlong Tooth Flag in his hand, waved the flag out of a half-arc, and shouted loudly:
"Jinyi Guard prepare, listen to my command, and the nine formations of Jiangtai-"
"Jinyi Guard prepares, and the nine formations of Jiangtai will be formed!"
Jin Yiwei prepares-"
The impassioned shouts continued to be passed on.
Liu Wenlong raised the tooth flag high and shouted:
"Rush—"
As soon as he took the lead, countless red-clothed and copper-armored guards behind him followed, and they all drew out embroidered spring knives, and the earth-shattering friction sound started, bringing the silver rays above the camp to move.
In an instant, the Jinyi guard rushed into the center of the battlefield, following the command of the banner to change different formations.
The soldiers of Boku had never seen such a strange formation, and gradually they were divided into two encirclements, then two became four, and four were divided even more.
The previous large-scale melee had been divided into many skirmishes, with a single camp of brocade guards trapping dozens to hundreds of enemy troops.
The Dayi soldiers were already tired, but now they saw the hope of victory, and they all recovered their spirit and fighting spirit, and fought together with Jinyiwei.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanwei both belong to the management of Leng Qingtang, and Fanwei is familiar with the "Jiangtai Nine Returns", and Jinyiwei naturally has many exercises.
The commander of the Boku army could see clearly on his tall horse, and the howls in every encirclement were terrible.
The Boku soldiers kept falling, and the blood-stained yellow sand was crushed into mud.
The coach finally couldn't sit still anymore and raised his hand violently.
Drums sounded in the rear, and the army began to retreat frantically like a lost dog.
Leng Qingtang raised his long sword: "Chong-"
The Dayi army is in hot pursuit, and they want to strike while the iron is hot, and they are bound to capture the third city today.
Seeing that the enemy army is about to kill under the city of Shed, the sky
Suddenly, clouds obscured the sun.
Bursts of five-colored smoke drifted over, and the headwind slowly spread towards the front flank of the Dayi army.
"Smoke is poisonous!"
I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers immediately fell down layer by layer, like a low tide.
The formation of the square team was in disarray.
The middle and rear flank armies rushed back one after another, and the soldiers who had not had time to run fell down to the city, or vomited, or covered their abdomen with their hands and wailed in pain.
"Toxic smoke, retreat!"
"The army retreats—"
"Withdraw, quick!"
This time, Dayi's army was defeated and retreated to the base camp.
Some of the soldiers who had been rescued by poison smoke were lying in the tents, all with purple faces, rolling on the spot and shouting.
Several military doctors took turns to see them, but they only knew that they were poisoned, but they did not know which medicine to prescribe to restrain the poison.
Leng Qingtang came to the scene to see the wounded soldiers, and he couldn't help but be anxious.
During the war, the people on the border had already been transferred, and it was difficult to find an insider for a while.
It was at the time of the distress that someone entered the camp to report that the 40,000 troops had arrived at the station, and the leader was in a hurry to meet the overseer at this moment.
