Chapter 15: The Outer Front of the City

Yu Moyuan brought the man in black back to the Assassin's Mansion, and Yu Shengwei asked, "Moyuan, what's going on?" ”

"Father, the child was attacked by the men in black in Tongcangpo in the north of the city, and the group of men in black was repelled by me and captured a living mouth."

"Who sent it?"

Yu Moyuan told Yu Shengwei what the man in black said, Yu Shengwei was stunned, he didn't believe that Lin Jingxiu could do such a thing.

After a while, Yu Shengwei said: "Mo Yuan, if you had handed over Huangfu Sui earlier, these things would not have happened, tell me the truth to my father, where is Huangfu Sui hiding?" ”

"Father, Lin Tancheng was not killed by Huangfu Sui, the murderer is someone else."

"Someone else? Who is it? ”

Yu Moyuan thought for a while and said, "The child doesn't know for the time being, but I'm sure that the murderer and the master behind him are planning a big conspiracy, and their killing of Lin Tancheng is only the first step, the purpose is to separate the relationship between you and Lin Taishou." ”

Zhang Shiwu said: "Envoy, Lin Jingxiu dared to send someone to attack Gongzi, and his crime should be punished!" Someone should have sent for him immediately. ”

"Shi Wu, you immediately send a personal soldier to ride a fast horse to Ni Ling City, and let Lin Taishou come to assassinate Shi Mansion, I will ask him face to face if the man in black was sent by him."

"No!"

Da Xiyue came to the door of the Taishou Mansion and happened to see Lin Jingxiu coming out of the mansion.

"Lin Taishou, where are you going?" Da Xiyue asked.

Lin Jing said: "Just now, Yu Shengwei's personal soldiers came to give me an order and asked me to go to the Ruizhou Assassin's Mansion. ”

"Lin Taishou, you can't go, you can't come back if you go. The father and son of the Yu family already know that those black-clothed people were sent by you, and they will never let you go. Da Xiyue said.

Lin Jingxiu sighed, frowned, and said, "I don't want to go either, but Yu Shengwei is the assassin of Ruizhou, and it is difficult to disobey his fate!" When he saw that I was late, he would definitely send someone to arrest me. ”

Da Xiyue laughed loudly and said, "Lin Taishou, do you want to be the lord of Ruizhou?" ”

"Mr. Daxi, what do you mean by that?" Lin Jingxiu was taken aback.

"I can help you capture Ruizhou City, get rid of Yu Shengwei, and put you in charge of the eight counties of Ruizhou."

"This..."Lin Jingxiu hesitated.

Da Xiyue said sharply: "Lin Taishou, you have no choice, listen to my words, you can not only save your life, but also avenge Ling Xun!" ”

Lin actually paused and said, "How is Mr. Daxi going to help me?" ”

"Nangong Jian, the fierce general of my Xuan Kingdom, has led an army of 50,000 to the border of Xuan Chu, and we will be able to reach Ni Xuan City within two hours, and we will be able to raise troops to attack Ruizhou City early tomorrow morning."

"Mr. Daxi, you can first let General Nangong lead the army over and station it outside the city. In a few days, we will send troops again. ”

"Lin Taishou, we can't wait any longer, we have to take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill Ruizhou City."

"Well, that's what Mr. says."

Yu Shengwei saw that Lin Jingxiu was late, and said to everyone: "Lin Jingxiu didn't come, it seems that he is a thief, and the man in black who attacked Moyuan must have been sent by him." ”

Chang Zhangye said: "Envoy, you must immediately send someone to arrest Lin Jingxiu." ”

"You don't have to send someone to go, if you go to Nilun City, you can't catch Lin Jingxiu. Lin Jingxiu dared to openly disobey his orders, it seemed that he had other ideas. Zuoqiu said.

As soon as the words fell, a scout horse came in and said: "Envoy, Lin Jingxiu sent his eldest son Lin Tansui to lead an army of 8,000 to Ruizhou City, which is seventy or eighty miles away from Ruizhou City at this time. ”

Yu Shengwei was furious and said: "I really didn't expect Lin Jingxiu to send troops to attack Ruizhou City, it's really hateful!" ”

"Don't worry, Lin Jingxiu only has 10,000 soldiers and horses under his account, and he can't set off any storms." Chang Zhangye said.

Yu Moyuan said: "Father, the child is willing to lead the troops out of the city to face the battle!" ”

"Okay, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses first, and then set off with a large army for your father." Yu Shengwei said.

Yu Moyuan led his troops out of the city for forty miles, and encountered Lin Tansui's 8,000 men and horses, and both sides lined up in formation, and both used crossbowmen to suppress the formation, ready to fight.

Shangguan Huang said: "Childe, I see that Lin Tansui's men and horses are like chickens and dogs, and they are not vulnerable at all, I am willing to lead the troops to rush over and take the lead!" ”

"Okay, you bring 800 cavalry in front, and I will lead the infantry army in the rear, and rush over." Yu Moyuan said.

Shangguan shook his spear and jumped on his horse, and rushed over with eight hundred cavalry. Lin Tansui hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen to release the arrows, Shangguan Huang used his spear to pull away the feathered arrows that were fired at him, and the flying horse killed Lin Tansui's military formation.

Lin Tansui held the horse lance and stabbed Shangguan Huang, Shangguan Huang hurriedly dodged sideways, grabbed the lance tightly with his left hand, and stabbed Lin Tansui with his right hand with a gun. Lin Tan then discarded the horse lance, turned the horse's head and ran away with the soldiers, and Shangguan Huang chased after him with the cavalry.

Yu Moyuan said to his junior brother Zong Yanxiao: "It's not good! As soon as the confrontation began, Lin Tan withdrew his troops, which must be a fraud and could not be pursued. ”

"I'll go and get Shangguan Huang back." Zong Yanxiao said.

Zong Yanxiao caught up with Shangguan Huang and said, "Brother Shangguan, the enemy army is deceitful, and you can't chase it!" Childe asked you to go back. ”

"Why can't you chase? Is Childe worried about an ambush? There are not many soldiers and horses in Nilun City, and the prince is too worried. Shangguan Huang did not obey the military order, but continued to chase after him.

Shangguan Huang led the troops to chase for four or five miles, and suddenly saw Lin Tan turn his head and lead the troops to kill back.

"Kill me!" Shangguan Huang led hundreds of cavalry to fight with Lin Tansui.

Da Xiyue stood on a mound in the distance and saw this scene and laughed.

Wei Huyan said: "Sir, the fish has been hooked, it is time for us to attack." ”

Da Xi Yue said: "Amber Yan, you and General Nangong led a large army to kill the past, kill the enemy general, and take Ruizhou City directly!" ”

Wei Huyan and Nangong Jian led 50,000 Xuan troops to kill and surround Shangguan Huang. Shangguan Huang fought to the death with his spear, his armor was covered with blood, and the cavalry around him were all killed.

Wei Huyan shouted loudly: "The thief will listen, quickly dismount and surrender, spare you from death!" ”

Shangguan Huang pointed his spear at Wei Huyan and said, "Piff Hugh is going to be rampant!" Do you think you can trap Grandpa? ”

At this time, Yu Moyuan and Zong Yanxiao led the army to kill them, rescued Shangguan Huang, and retreated to the south, and Wei Huyan led the army to chase after him.

Yu Shengwei took 30,000 horses out of the north gate of Ruizhou City, and just marched ten miles, when he saw Yu Moyuan leading the army back.

"Father, Lin Jingxiu secretly colluded with the people of Xuan Guo. Now the army of Xuan Guo is behind. Yu Moyuan said.

Yu Shengwei ordered: "Array to fight!" ”

The Ruizhou Army and the Xuan Army launched a fierce battle, and the killing sound shook the sky for a while.

Yu Shengwei saw that the battle was fierce and he couldn't hold each other, so he said to Zhang Shiwu: "Shiwu, you take your own soldiers into battle to fight, don't worry about me!" ”

Zhang Shiwu was a little embarrassed, and was about to speak, when Yu Shengwei roared: "Go quickly!" ”

"No!" Zhang Shiwu led hundreds of personal soldiers to kill him.

Nangong Jian saw Yu Shengwei in the midst of the chaos, so he waved a three-pointed two-edged knife and killed him. Yu Shengwei opened his bow and shot at Nangong Jian, Nangong Jian lowered his head and dodged the feather arrow, and killed in front of Yu Shengwei.

Yu Shengwei hurriedly turned the horse's head and ran, Nangong Jian wanted to chase after him, Zong Yanxiao shot and killed him, and the two of them shook their spirits and fought fiercely.

A sudden wind blew on the battlefield, and after a flash of lightning and thunder, a downpour fell from the sky. The soldiers of the two armies had been fighting for a long time, and they were sleepy and tired, so they could only withdraw from the battlefield.

Yu Moyuan returned to the Assassin's Mansion and said to Yu Shengwei: "Father, the Xuan army has retreated to Ni Ling City. ”

Yu Shengwei nodded and said, "No wonder Lin Jingxiu dared to send troops to attack Ruizhou City, it turns out that he colluded with the people of Xuanguo!" Mo Yuan, call your Sanniang! ”

After a while, Yu Moyuan led a middle-aged woman to the front hall.

Yu Shengwei said to the woman: "I treat your brothers and sisters well on weekdays, but your brother Lin Jingxiu actually raised an army to kill me!" What's the use of me keeping you, you pack up and leave Ruizhou City. ”

The woman knelt on her knees and said, "The concubine has no idea what the concubine's brother has done, and she hopes that the concubine will keep the concubine and not drive me away." ”

Yu Moyuan also knelt down and said: "Father, this matter was done by Lin Jingxiu, you can't blame Sanniang, beg your father to let Sanniang stay." ”

Yu Shengwei said: "Get up." ”

At this time, Zuoqiu Hu came in and said to Yu Shengwei: "Envoy, I know who killed Lin Tancheng." ”

"Who is it?"

"It was sent by Da Xiyue to do it, and what happened recently was carefully planned by Da Xiyue, and Lin Jingxiu was used by him."

"Sir's right." Yu Shengwei said.

Zuo Qiu Hu looked at the marching map hanging on the wall, and said: "The Xuan army has retreated to Ni Lan City, they are waiting for reinforcements, and when their strength increases, they will kill them, we must be ready to meet the battle." ”

"Sir, we don't have enough troops, I'm afraid it will be another fierce battle then!" Yu Shengwei said.

Zuoqiu Hu closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Envoy, immediately send someone to the naval battalion outside the city of Yukou, and transfer 15,000 soldiers from there, so that our troops defending the city will be increased by thirty percent, and the chances of victory will be greater." ”

"Good idea, I'll send someone over." Yu Shengwei said.

Yu Mo went out of the Assassin's Mansion, rode to the prison, and said to the jailer: "Which cell is that Xuanguo spy locked in?" Take me there. ”

"The villain will take Childe over." The jailer said with a smile.

Huangfu Sui saw Yu Moyuan, and said aggrievedly: "Big brother, you can be regarded as coming, I have suffocated the second brother these days, I can't stay here anymore, I want to go out." ”

Yu Moyuan smiled and said, "Big brother is here today to take you out, let's call the third brother and go to Shengming Tower to drink." ”

Huangfu Sui said excitedly: "That's really good! Big brother, has the murderer who killed Lin Tancheng caught? ”

Yu Moyuan shook his head and said, "Not yet." That murderer is from Xuan Guo, he should pretend to be you and kill Lin Tancheng. ”

"That's so hateful! I have suffered so much, and when I catch him, I have to whip him hundreds of lashes to relieve my hatred! ”
