Chapter 45: The Twelve Prefectures of Youyun
The world has no chance to see the grand occasion of the fire attack on Youyun City, but the historian records that the battle of Youyun Twelve Prefectures continued to fight for more than a month, and the two sides invested a total of 30 and 50,000 troops before and after, killing the sun and the moon without light, and the sky and earth were discolored.
In a sentence in the history books, there is a mass grave behind it......
"Losing my Cloud City will make my six animals restless;"
"The loss of my twelve states will make my wife colorless."
The nursery rhyme of Shuijing sang the voice of the monarchs and people of the Beihu Empire, if the twelve states of Youyun are lost, there will be no barrier, and the royal capital will inevitably be unprotected, and the grassland tribes that have been suppressed by the bullet will take advantage of the situation to make chaos, and the empire will collapse in an instant.
Huan Tan led the ghost cowardly army non-stop, and the closer he got to the royal capital, the more panicked he became, since his debut, there has been no such situation. I think that since he entered the hall for martial arts cultivation, he has always been calm and relaxed, and Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his face.
Master Liuxi Xiaozhu replied that the matter of Wang Du had been taken care of, why was he even more anxious?
It wasn't until he met with Mu Lao Gu Lord fifty miles away from the royal capital that the two of them instantly understood that the reason for their panic was Youyun City, and Huan Tan would be restless under the induction of qi.
"Little fox, don't have an accident, otherwise I'll let Jialong be buried with him." Huan Tan's cold eyes rarely revealed an anxious look.
"The little fox is supposed to say that her fate should not be extinguished, her uncle and ancestor once criticized a hexagram, fire and thunder devour, devouring skin and nose, and taking advantage of the gang." Although Mu Laogu's face was indifferent, he was also worried about this youngest disciple in his heart, although his uncle had always been a god and a god, but at this moment, he hoped that he would be more accurate, Xiao Yanran was the apprentice who understood him best, how could he be willing to let her suffer.
"There should be such a catastrophe in life, you can't hide it, you and I, the master and apprentice, will go to meet this Shenguang Emperor who is obscure for a while." Although the old valley lord Mu was haggard, he was relieved to see Huan Tan's achievements today.
Mu Laogu Lord did not believe in ghosts and gods in this life, but he invited a hexagram for the two apprentices, in fact, at that time, the uncle had a lot of hexagrams, and also criticized the eldest apprentice Huan Tan, "He Xiao kills his ears and is fierce." ”
But at this time, he won't say it, the little fox's life is hard, Huan Tan's life is good, and he is Baoding for this pair of apprentices.
Therefore, the old valley lord persuaded the old queen mother to personally lead the army after taking over the king's tent dragon horse, and took the king to drive the expedition in person, killing the twelve states of Youyun, and the emperor star was in the account, and he wanted to borrow a chance to fight with the divine light dragon qi.
It is said that the ghost cowardly army and the king's tent dragoon quickly joined forces, both of which were elite divisions, and swept away the royal capital within a radius of hundreds of miles overnight with the momentum of the wind and clouds, and the frightened Luomazhou side was waiting for it.
Then with Huan Tan as the vanguard, more than 100,000 troops slaughtered the twelve states of Youyun with great momentum.
Huan Tan saw all the remnants of the 12 states along the way, most of them were large and large groups of flowing troops after being dispersed, and the owners of Mu Laogu did not refuse to be all incorporated into them, and they were transformed while marching.
After Huan Tan led the vanguard battalion of the Ghost Cowardly Army to run into Benlei City, he heard and understood that the front of Liuluan City and the north were full of Shenguang army, especially the Shenguang Euphorbia Warrior's combat power was unparalleled, after breaking through Youyun City, it was like a bamboo, and it was said that the fire in Youyun City alone burned for three days and three nights......
"Where is Murong Yanran, the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition?" Huan Tan interrupted him impatiently, and the remnant who was kneeling on the ground was so frightened that he trembled, he was already broken by the Divine Light Euphorbia, and now when he saw the demon god Huan Tan, he was even more incoherent, stammering, and couldn't get to the point.
"Let me ask you, where is Murong Yanran?" Huan Tan stepped forward and grabbed his collar and shouted angrily, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"The general listened to him first, don't frighten him." Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to grab Huan Tan, for fear that he would slap this person to death in anger.
"My subordinates don't know." Seeing Huan Tan's angry eyes, the remnant added tremblingly.
"When my subordinates heard about it, I just heard from others that she was assassinated, Generalissimo, Generalissimo."
"Fart, drag this person out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs, bewitching the public and disturbing the morale of the army." Huan Tan smashed the desk in front of him with a palm.
Although Murong Yanran's news was not inquired clearly, the vanguard battalion had already found out the military situation, and Liuluan City, which was hundreds of miles away, had been lost, and most of the mountains and forests outside the city were Divine Light Rangers.
After Huan Tan heard the military situation, he sighed in his heart,
"It's bad, the little junior sister is more auspicious."
"Continue to investigate, the Southern Expeditionary Army has 100,000 iron cavalry, how can it be so unbearable?" Huan Tan was anxious in his heart, urging his subordinates to go out of the city and explore again.
The moon was falling and the sky was full of frost, and the old valley lord Mu took the king into the city in a hurry.
"Huan Tan boy, don't worry, the Green Water Camp has already taken over the little fox, and he will secretly enter the city later, your junior sister has suffered a big disaster this time, you have to be appeased." The old valley lord called Huan Tan to the city guard mansion to explain.
"Senior sister has suffered this time, I will take Jialong's sons to pay for their lives first." Huan Tan gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Now that you are following me to ask the king for guilt, the top priority is to rectify the morale of the army and recapture Youyun City." The lord of Mu Laogu knew that the two of them had no guesses, and their love was as deep as the sea, and at this time they cared about it and were chaotic, so they woke him up with the Tantric Daigo mantra, and kept his mind, don't mess up, otherwise he will be in a hurry, his consciousness will be ignorant, and his spirit will be damaged.
"The disciple also left half of the ghost cowardly army to chase and kill Liu Zhilun and the remnants of Youyin in Yinkui Mountain, presumably it should be over at this time, and ordered them to directly go west to attack Youyun City." What kind of character Huan Tan is, he naturally understands as soon as he points out, the personal feelings of his children are put aside first, and the decisive battle between the two countries is the top priority.
The two played a plea in front of the king, and the young king hurriedly helped the old valley lord Mu to get up, and planned how to fight this once-in-a-century decisive battle that night.
The gears of fate began to turn, and anything that stood in its way would be swept into the mud.
The Shenguang army finally broke the defense line of Youyun City after dispatching the elite heavy armor halberds, and thousands of troops rushed into the city like a carp crossing the river, fighting in the streets, strangling everywhere, and finally completely controlled this century-old town after three days and three nights, and the news was transmitted back to Taikang City, the whole country was boiling, the streets and alleys were shouting the saint of the Son of Heaven, the king was invincible, and the fireworks were brilliant at night, illuminating the night sky above the entire Taikang City.
Once the hundred years of shame were washed away, the court was busy making tables for the saint, the palaces, marquises, local state capitals, salt tea emperors, etc. entered the palace to congratulate, and the queen mother couldn't close her mouth, and the busy queen Xiao was on the heels and back.
Xuegong Fuziyun: "The Holy Prince's army led the king's army to face off against the Beihu Iron Cavalry is a classic battle that can be recorded in history, and this battle will knock the myth of the Beihu Iron Cavalry into the dust. ”
Yunlin Daru also said: "Tricks and tricks can become the battle of Luomazhou, and the battle of Youyun City is dignified, and Yangmou wins with strength." ”
That night, in the northwest corner of Taikang City, nine purple lotus flowers in the Taishi Building were magnificent, the golden light passed through the roof, and the ruins of the bullfighting were rushed, and the people shouted auspicious signs, and God blessed the divine light.
The supervisor personally ran to the building to check, only to see that two of the nine purple lotuses were blooming again, and the rest were also in a budding state, filled with purple gas.
"The omen of great prosperity, the omen of great prosperity, my divine light will prevail."
"Come on, hurry up and draft a book, enter the Queen Mother, a sign of great prosperity, and the divine light will win." Jian Zheng's excitement is beyond measure, such signs have not been seen for a hundred years, even if Taizu established the country, it was only five in full bloom, but now it is six purple lotuses in full bloom, and there is one golden lotus among them.
He was no longer as breezy as usual, and in a panic he tripped over the threshold, got up, patted his buttocks, and trotted away......
The Shenguang Euphorbia was incorporated into the Ranger Army as the main force of the vanguard, carrying Murong Yanran's broken arm, attacking the twelve states, and the other cities were all terrified, so they swept all the way to Liuluan City.
The main force of the Shenguang Chinese army is not rushing to sweep the twelve states, and they are afraid that the military merits they have in hand will be robbed, even the Yao family's border army can't hold it back, sharpening their knives.
Yao Daguan was the first to climb the head of Youyun City, so the army praised General Xiao Yao for being a tiger, and the Yao family border army was suppressed for many years and couldn't raise his head, and now he raised his eyebrows, thinking of taking advantage of the victory to pursue and set foot on the twelve states.
After Emperor Jialong issued a decree to appease the generals, he organized the Mojia organ camp to repair the city, clean up the streets, and the children of the doctors who accompanied the army were also put into the city for treatment, and the streets and alleys were sprinkled with lime powder, but also to prevent the spread of the plague, and it was roughly estimated that there were 100,000 people injured on both sides of the siege battle, and it took three days to clean up the dead bodies in the streets and alleys.
During this time, a soldier found Cui Hanzhang and Lian Haichao when he was cleaning the corpse near Weng City, at first glance it was no different from a dead corpse, but after careful observation, there were still occasional snorts and panting, in line with the idea of not giving up a wounded soldier, he hurriedly called the military doctor to check it, if it wasn't for the timely treatment, I'm afraid the two would really be whining and mourning.
Lian Haichao was unrecognizable, severely burned, one arm was blown off in half, not far away there was a half-cut arm holding a gallium knife, and two severed knives were stuck in the chest, the centrifugal pulse was only half a minute away, and there were many arrows in the back, three points into the flesh, this injury was placed on ordinary people, and they would have died a long time ago.
Cui Hanzhang was pressed under more than a dozen dead corpses, although he did not face the impact of the explosion, but the injury was too serious, two spears passed through his chest, and the military doctor who was looking at the big blood hole shook his head, three ribs were broken, his left wrist was cracked, and more than a dozen feather arrows were inserted in his back, the blood was almost dry, his heart was weakened, accompanied by a high fever, and he had been in a coma for more than ten days since he was rescued back to the general's mansion......
A pair of meteor moving hammers at the head of the Xin stall were found by the cattle and horse fences, and two people were smashed into the city wall more than ten centimeters five miles away, but all the bones of the cattle and horses including the head of the Xin stall were gone. According to statistics, none of the cattle and horses in Youyun City survived, and they all died in the night of the burning of the granary, and the saint ordered the corpses to be collected, and one hundred and eight bodies were gathered and sent back to Jiatong Pass for burial.
On the same day, Emperor Jialong issued a holy decree: "Reward the soldiers of the three armies, crown King Pingkang as King Pingkang Mu, receive five pearls, and King Zekang receive three pearls; Crowned Liu Zhilun Guanwendian University Scholar, led the second grade, promoted Jiang Yunlang to the left squire of the military department, promoted Cui Hanzhang to the general of the rangers, and concurrently served as the Sima of the military department, led the cavalry army with Li Qingshan, promoted to the commander of the Li Qingshan Ranger Army, and was named "General of the Dragon and Tiger"; promoted Lian Haichao to the left lieutenant of the rangers, and directly commanded the Shenguang Euphorbia Tianzi Battalion; The third-level company jumped and promoted Yao Daguan to the deputy commander of the border army, and was named "Flying General"; Treat the family members of the first-class cattle and horses in the Xin stall, reward a thousand taels of silver, and support three generations; The rest of the people were promoted to one level, and those who broke the city first in the twelve states were promoted to another level, and a reward of one hundred taels was given. ”
Won this great victory, and was rewarded by the saint, the Shenguang army up and down the three armies, morale is high, attacking the cities of the twelve states are not fighting bravely, all of them are like fighting chicken blood, a once-in-a-century opportunity, and the wife and shadow are at this time.
When the opportunity comes, if you can't grasp it, it will be disrespectful to God. In fact, in the subsequent fifty years of Shenguang's history, the nouveau riche of the court sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, most of which rose in the Northern Expedition, and even in the next fifty years, they were still the descendants of Fuze, and the military family that lasted for five generations and was cut off, and the iron beat of the military family was particularly hard wherever he went.
Cui Hanzhang and Lian Haichao were seriously injured and dying, and the doctor asserted: "These two people, if they were not tenacious, would have died eight times as ordinary people, but if they continue to stay on the battlefield, I am afraid they will not be able to survive without medical treatment." ”
The two of them, along with the other wounded, were transported back to Jiatong Pass overnight, followed by dozens of carts of booty.
Youyun City is worthy of the first big city in Beihu, the money and jewels are stuffed with dozens of cars, the siege war is in the late stage, the people are panicked, the defenders and the people in the city are fleeing from the road, the ground is mostly scattered gold and silver property, if the people's hearts are not scattered, I am afraid that if you want to break the city, you will have more casualties......
Lian Haichao really woke up on the third day after careful diagnosis and treatment in Jiatong Pass, and a pair of eyes flashed, seeing that everyone was extremely vigilant and indifferent......
He is also a blessing in disguise, before almost killing the sex, fell into the devil's way, after surviving this catastrophe, the realm of martial arts is thousands of miles a day, has entered the realm of refining gods, speaking of which is already half a step ahead of Li Qingshan, Huan Tan and others, don't underestimate this half step, it may be a lot of people's lives can be finished, but also the half step that all living beings can not take out of their lives, even if they practice day and month like Louyue Mountain, after taking refuge and leaving Xikou, due to fate, with the help of the topography of the eighteen water veins in Xikou, they will also touch the bypass and step into this realm, But he is already dying, and half a hundred people are squeezed into the door.
Thinking that he even Haichao entered the martial arts refining god at a young age, he is destined to shine in the future, if the old monsters who are dormant and hidden do not come out, and they are crisscrossing the north and south, I am afraid it will be difficult to have an opponent. At the beginning, when Lian Haichao was still in his infancy, he first entered the Dalun Temple and attracted the resonance of the Kun and Gong knives, and after more than ten years of life and cultivation, he finally practiced the roundness and resonance of the human knife.
The sparks from the battle between Shenguang and Beihu are not enough to cover his light, maybe the accumulation of a hundred years in the world has given birth to a great year of rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes that have been silent in the past have gradually fluctuated, and the atmospheric transporters have emerged one by one, and there is another fight on the list this day.
Cui Hanzhang was not so lucky, he was unconscious all the time, and the holy hand of the doctor was helpless.
"If he doesn't want to wake up, even the Da Luo Immortal can only stare dryly." The Faun Doctor exhaled a breath of turbidity and plucked the golden needle from his chest and said.
"I'm afraid that the matter of the Cui family's lady will hit him very hard. He is also determined to live and die, and he doesn't want to live anymore. "The shepherd doctor has cured Cui Mingwei's cold poison, and he has witnessed their wedding ceremony, and he knows that this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks is even more accurate now.
Cui Hanzhang was unconscious, looking lethargic, but in fact, his mind had already met with his wife Mingwei in a dream, so he didn't want to wake up.
"Assassinate the embroidered fox Murong Yanran, blow up the granary of Youyun City, presumably at this time, the Holy Lord has already broken through Youyun City, and the twelve states are also like exploring the bag to take things, Yu Jun is in the country, I have no regrets, but I owe you Mingwei you, you and I are miserable, I just want to accompany you here."
"Husband, wake up quickly, your mother-in-law and little sister still need you."
………………
"I'm tired, so tired, I just want to get some sleep."
………………
"Have you forgotten the mouth of the stream? What should you do if your mother-in-law and little sister are gone? I can't feel at ease underground. ”
………………
In Cui Hanzhang's dream, he and his wife Mingwei accompanied each other day and night, traveling in the East China Sea, staying in the sky at dusk, and wandering between heaven and earth like a fairy couple. Then the picture switched to the scene of the six clans meeting together, burning the granary of Wengcheng, Beihu Tie riding a horse and stepping on the Longyuan River, Xikou was damaged by war everywhere, smoke was everywhere, and the people were displaced.
When he suddenly woke up, one of the dreams rolled over and rolled down the bed, tore open the wound, grinned in pain, and tears fell without a fight.
"There was a bang", and the plate in Cui Xiaomei's hand shattered on the ground.
Turn around and run, shouting as you run:
"Mom, brother woke up, brother woke up."
But Lian Haichao, who was stretching his muscles in the courtyard, was the first to enter the house and help him up.
"Tiansha Lone Star, we are both hard-fated people, Lord Yama doesn't accept it, and I have to help you get up. It's better to die than to live, does it feel like being a human being again? Lian Haichao is now very relaxed, and when he was sent back to Doumi City in Taikang City, he became silent, and he was even more reluctant to go out of the house.
Today, I saw Lian Haichao, who was born and died together, woke up, and it was rare to tease him, the two were born and died many times, and the friendship of changing lives was just a wry smile for each other.
"Your arm?" Cui Hanzhang's eyes were very good, and he saw the empty sleeves at first glance, although the face of Lian Haichao in front of him was burned and destroyed by the fire, which was very scary, but he recognized him as Lian Haichao when he heard it.
"Can you pick up a life and come back, be content, look at your two big holes, how much better are you than me?"
"It's a pity, Lao Xin is dead and can't die anymore, there is only a pair of golden hammers left......" Speaking of these words, even Haichao was embarrassed.
"My son......"
Cui's mother rushed into the house in a panic, threw herself on the head of the bed, and gently stroked her son's face with her hand.
"Brother, you're scared me to death, my father and mother have been around your bedside all night, and my father has just fallen ill." Cui Xiaomei laughed while crying, and her mouth was still crying indistinctly.
"It's good to be awake, it's good to be awake." Cui's father was silent, but his wrinkled face was full of smiles.
"My mother's hair has turned a lot grayer." Although Cui Hanzhang woke up, his breath was weak.
Cui Hanzhang's mother couldn't hold back the tears rolling in her eyes anymore, and whimpered softly......
"Okay, okay, don't huddle around, since he has woken up, there is no obstacle for the time being, how can he die so easily if he crawls out of the pile of dead people." The shepherd doctor was also invited from the main hall of the central hall, and Lao Yuan said loudly.
The first time the animal husbandry doctor came over was not to see Cui Hanzhang, but approached Cui's mother, the silver needle flashed, pierced the back of the neck three inches, and Cui's mother fainted leisurely in Cui's father's arms.
"Joy hurts the heart, anger hurts the liver, thoughts hurt the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, fear hurts the kidneys, and frightens the heart. Mrs. Zun has been sad and sad for the past year, and now she is crying with joy, the seven feelings are the most hurtful, and the heart is like a lamp in the wind, and there will be a day when the oil runs out and the lamp will dry up. If you don't diagnose and treat, I'm afraid you won't survive tonight. I just gave her a good night's sleep and recuperated herself. The explanation of the pastoral doctor made people's hearts feel reassured, and Cui's father hurriedly helped his wife back to the room to rest.
"Everyone is gone, leave it to me, this will be the Lord of Yama coming in person, and you have to ask the old decay, and no one can take Cui Hanzhang's soul."
The doctor of the animal husbandry was angry about the failure to treat Cui Mingwei, and said that he couldn't smash his signboard, but in fact, he was thinking about the woman's entrustment, but whenever there was a glimmer of life, he had to save Cui Hanzhang, so he took the initiative to follow a trip back to Taikang and treat him carefully.
"The two of you are hard enough, and you walked around the dead city in a daze and slipped back." After the pastoral doctor called his pulse, he stroked his beard and said.
"You still need to recuperate for three months, remember not to use force, during this period, ginseng supplements are eaten hard, so much blood has been shed, and the vitality is greatly damaged, if you want to make up for it, you have to take a year or two."
…………………………………………………………
It is said that the war in the twelve states of Youyun was frozen in Benlei City, at first the stalemate lasted for half the night, and the second half of the night was counterattacked back, Beihu took the ghost cowardly army as the vanguard, and the king tent dragoon was the main force, regardless of the cost of the counterattack, and even took it down to Liuluan City in one go, the war between the two sides was extremely anxious, at this time the decisive battle on the national fortune was really started, the front Jiatong Pass, Luomazhou, Kuiyin Mountain, even if it was the previous fire attack on Youyun City, it was just a prelude.
The historian who followed the holy driver recalled: "The whole battle was like a meat grinder, both sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops, chariots, tools, swords and crossbows, and the middle was like a hole in hell that was not satisfied, no matter how much was thrown in, it would be exhausted the next day, and the scalp of the last person killed was numb, and he was completely indifferent to the number of battle losses." ”
The emperors of the two countries have spelled out the real fire, personally sitting in the command of the Chinese army's chariots, the two sides take Liuluan City as a stronghold, changing hands several times, repeatedly seesawing, Emperor Jialong listened to the herald kept reporting the consumption loss figures, looking at the people in front of him on their backs and turning over the scene, their hearts became more and more gloomy, in this level of war, the individual is as small as an ant, how easy is it to shake the tree? Only the corps that can play a role in the battle situation is the corps of large-scale operations, but often the time when the heavy armoured corps meets is the moment of victory and defeat.
The king of Beihu on the opposite side regarded his corporal as a mustard, and the casualties were not counted as bloodshed, but he was desperately charging, in fact, Emperor Shengming Rujialong could not guess that the real commander of the army was the lord of Mu Laogu behind the king.
Old man Mu is naturally lonely like dry well water, and his body is as immobile as Mingwang Mountain, anyway, it is the soldiers of the Yelu clan who died, and the country of the Yelu clan is also dead......
