Chapter 905: Riding to Chang'an alone
Tianshan Ryoma has been in Chang'an for too long. For a long time, people have forgotten that it is a rare thousand-mile horse in the world. But in any case, it is still the king of horses, and it has created many miracles.
As one of the famous swords of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Red Fire Sword was also covered with dust. If it had a sword soul, it would make a lonely sound like snow when it roared in the moonlight.
And the person who has written a legend that shocked the world with the sword and the horse, just like this horse and sword, has been hiding the light, and in the red dust of Chang'an, he has taken off his armor and learned to make up, and it has been several years.
For a determined person, such a transformation is tantamount to a new rebirth in life. It takes great courage and even more so the deepest love.
Of course, the unwillingness and nostalgia for the past that occasionally flashed in my heart are inevitable after all. However, the sword that had been sealed away was never unsheathed again.
If you could do it all over again, would you regret it? In many turbulent old times, she also stood in a small building and watched the weather in the sky. In some slightly childish fantasies, the change of clouds often becomes a battle of thousands of troops, and the glow of morning and dusk is the heroism of blood...... Although these are a hundred times inferior to the invincible yellow sand of the year, they are enough to comfort her emotions when she is lonely.
Fortunately, there is also his promise. In her thoughts, no matter how long she waits for twists and turns, as long as she is finally satisfied, she is willing.
From the ten-mile spring breeze to the twilight snow of a thousand mountains, from the lack of a full moon to the starry sky. If he had kept her waiting in this mansion, she would have waited until the snow had fallen and she would have been white-headed.
But today, she didn't want to wait any longer!
The precious rosewood box was split open with one palm, and the sword wrapped in layers finally broke through the shackles, the red fire flowed gold, and the sword flashed, just like that day.
The woman named Bing'er re-bundled her head full of green silk, put the sword behind her back casually, and turned to leave her small building. Someone on the rockery three zhang away on the left sighed and whispered.
"Actually...... Master will be fine. You don't have to travel thousands of miles to ....... ”
It's just that he didn't finish his sentence, so he stopped talking. Because, the most personal guard who came with the emperor, suddenly realized that the woman he should call "senior sister" had a piercing edge and infinite sadness in her eyes.
"You are in the palace, take good care of Yuanfeng. The rest doesn't need to be taken care of! ”
Park Yongyeol, who was dressed in white, lowered his head and responded with a "yes".
Today, this guard of the Son of Heaven from overseas Goryeo County has already become the object of awe and admiration of countless people. Except for a few people who still remember that he was also under Yuanzhao, all the people in the world know is the identity of his first confidant in front of the emperor.
But no matter when it comes, Park Yongyeol will never dare or forget whose fulfillment it is that he has reached today's height.
The white-clothed figure silently watched the man and horse walk out of the backyard, out of the mansion, and out of Chang'an...... He clenched his sword. If he could, he would have wanted to go so spontaneously. However, he is well aware of his responsibility. was selected to guard the eagle on the eaves of Weiyang Palace, and the final choice was involuntarily.
Bing'er, who rode away with a sword alone, left everything here behind when he walked out of Chang'an City. She stopped thinking about what was going on.
What is the emperor's psychology that made a request to Princess Suxi to let Yuan Feng'er enter the palace regularly and be taught by the queen herself. The reason for this is no longer important to Bing'er, who has embarked on the journey desperately.
Perhaps, the only thought in her heart now is to ride this thousand-mile horse and go to that magnificent and fierce battlefield without sleep. No matter what happens, she's going to find him!
When passing by Changle Plateau, the horse's hooves hesitated for a while, and finally paused slightly, and then she saw Cui Hong. The man who was in the same school as her back then had a solemn look on his face. Because he remembered that she had said that she would never touch the sword again.
"I'm going to see what happened...... The house is stable, and it will be handed over to you. ”
Cui Hong, who knew her temperament well, did not persuade or ask more. As soon as he agreed, he picked up his sword and went into Chang'an. What came from afar was just a word of encouragement.
"Thousands of miles of wind and sand, how precious you are! Master will be safe, and may you all return together as soon as possible. ”
In this sentence, there is no more concern. The dragon horse galloped like thunder, and from then on went west. The wind rose in her face, and her ears seemed to be able to hear the fierce battle of the Jin Ge Iron Horse Ten Thousand Army. The sense of foreboding that arose in my heart for unknown reasons was getting ......stronger and stronger.
In fact, there are many people who are as terrible as she is in her imagination about the intensity of the war on the Western continent. In fact, the most crucial battle of the day was much more fierce than imagined.
The gaze returns to the battlefield of that day. The frenzied Persians launched a fierce attack on the Han army camp outside the royal city. The fight between the two sides has entered a white-hot level from the beginning. Blood splattered and casualties continued.
Su Jian and Li Ling, the direct commanders of the battalion, made the west and south sides the main defensive targets, respectively. The most important military deployments are also focused on these two directions.
The Han army camp is stationed in a unique geographical location. To the north is Luojia Mountain, and to the east is the great river that separates it from the royal city. Such a barrier between mountains and rivers can effectively help strengthen defenses. And the information obtained by the scouts has also shown that the main direction of the Persian attack is to place it in the flat area to the west and south. That's why they made such a strategic decision. There's nothing wrong with that. But there are exceptions to everything, and who would have thought that in this haste, the Persians had already made many unexpected preparations.
Su Jian, who was guarding the western camp, was slightly relieved to see that the Persians' frantic attacks had not achieved much effect. Judging from the news from the south, the soldiers commanded by Li Ling also repelled the attack of the Persians very effectively. From such a distance, they could already hear the shouting of killing due south significantly weakened.
This is a very good start. No matter how fierce and crazy the Persians became, it was extremely difficult to break through the camp in the face of the Han army's tight defensive forces.
Looking at the retreating enemy, all the Han soldiers were in high spirits. Although they were all a little tired, they were still encouraged by the confidence of victory, and they still fought hard to kill the Persian warriors who were injured and fell to the ground and had no time to retreat, so as to avoid future troubles.
The Persians in both directions slowed down, and as if fearing death, they began to retreat, and gradually gathered together, not knowing what they were watching.
General Su Jian had some doubts in his heart. The command position he is in now should have been Gongsun Rongnu's. But the fierce general was wounded and sick in the city, and he didn't know how to live or die. Now the burden of guarding this direction falls on his shoulders, which is naturally very heavy, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"What are the Persians doing on the other side? Knowing that he couldn't attack him, he still attacked again and again...... Do they think that their will and courage can prevail over the Han army? ”
The lieutenant beside him said loudly, puffing out his chest proudly and wiping the blood from the knife. In their opinion, if it weren't for the fear of the severity of the epidemic, they would have taken advantage of the situation to rush out and chop melons and vegetables and kill all the Persians.
"Don't be careless! These Persians have been fighting for a long time, and there may be some other conspiracy ....... ”
Su Jian looked at the mighty Persians opposite, and he couldn't help frowning. Looking at this murderous formation, the Persians would never be defeated easily. He was about to give a loud order to the whole army to be on guard against a surprise attack by the Persians. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise that shook the earth, and then there was an exclamation.
When Su Jian heard the movement coming from the direction of the back camp, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. Just as he was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, the sergeant who was defending there had already come to report in a panic.
"General Su, it's not a good thing! The Persians attacked the rear camp from the top of Luojia Mountain, and they were condescending, armed with huge rolling stones, and a burning fireball! The situation in the direction of the rear camp is critical, and the losses are heavy! ”
In fact, there is no need to listen to what the informant says. In just a few moments, smoke billowed from the direction from which the loud noise came, and a fire began to rise. There is no doubt that this is where the rear camp near Luojia Mountain is stationed.
"The Persians are so cunning! General Guo, immediately divide the troops to support the rear battalion, there must be no mistake. ”
Without much thought, Su Jianjian immediately realized the serious consequences that this might bring. The Han army camp is a whole, and no matter which direction is breached, everyone will not be spared. Therefore, he immediately ordered his subordinates to mobilize men and horses to support the guards.
However, what Su Jian did not expect was that the Persian attack from Luojia Mountain to the northwest of the Han army's camp was a long-prepared killing move.
The Han army camp stationed on the high ground is in the condescending overlook range of Luojia Mountain. I don't know how the Persians did it, but the attack weapon they used this time was a stone ball with flames.
The Persians finally learned to take advantage of the inexhaustible resources of the land. The huge stone ball was sprinkled with a large amount of black fire oil, then lit with lavender and tumbled down the steep mountain. Even on flat ground, it can't stop their huge inertia.
These burning rolling stones, with an unstoppable momentum, directly smashed the wooden fences on the periphery of the camp. Many tents were then set on fire, causing some casualties among the guards and sergeants.
The Persians rolled down nearly twenty large fireballs one after another, and in a moment's effort, there was a mess inside and outside the northern camp. Behind him, the shouts of killing were loud, and the Persian warriors who had been waiting in ambush for a long time stared at the blood-red eyes, and rushed to smoke and burst into flames.
