Chapter 319: Why should we have ever met
The Ming army came to the west, and the former king of Annam, Queen Chen, ascended to the gatehouse and stood there watching the situation outside.
Chen wears an ordinary purple silk robe, which is somewhat similar to the Hanfu system of the Central Plains. The waist is tied high, making her figure appear taller and more slender, and the soft silk material shows off her bumpy body silhouette very beautifully.
The setting sun and the afterglow of the setting sun were still dazzling, facing Chen's face, making it impossible for the big eyes in her deep sockets to open completely. Her forehead was flat and smooth, her face was dignified and beautiful, her black sideburns and jade-white skin seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of light in the orange light.
Chen was silent and silent, but his eyes were attracted by the scene outside the wall. Under the banner of "Han", the cavalry of the Han King of the Ming Dynasty wore tiger skins and galloped on the flat field like a group of beasts, with the horse's hooves roaring and magnificent.
She quickly identified who was Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han. Chan had been in the palace for many years, and she understood how a king behaved in the crowd and how the people around him would follow.
The king of Han rode a high, colorful horse, and he seemed to be angry because he rushed the fastest.
Without the slightest hesitation, the King of Han rushed to the cavalry of the Hu clan of the Annan army. In the blink of an eye, before the guards around King Han could catch up, he suddenly knocked down the two Annamite horsemen and rushed straight away from the middle of the five or six horsemen.
Seeing King Han like this, Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Her eyes rolled slightly, and she didn't blink as he thrust left and right. Chen couldn't see how the King of Han killed the enemy, but he could clearly see that no one could stop the King of Han at all, and the cavalry of the Annan Army who approached would be killed and dismounted with one move!
The war horse in the skin of the tiger seemed to have been transformed into a real tiger, larger than the cavalry of the Annan army, and rushed into the herd of men and horses, the "tiger" was like slaughtering a flock of sheep, and it was invincible on a rampage!
After a while, many of the cavalry of the Annam Army turned around and ran away. Wherever the king of Han went, the enemy soldiers scattered one after another, and the Hu people's men and horses could not resist the attack of the Ming army at all.
Chen subconsciously pursed his lips and raised his head slightly.
At this moment, there was a sound of armor behind him, and Chen looked back and saw Li Li pressing his sword and walking to the ladder. Li Li walked up to the gatehouse, glanced in the direction that Chen had been staring at, and saluted: "Queen, we are leaving this place, please go with your ministers." ”
Chen said calmly in Annan: "I am the queen of the Annan Kingdom, and I can't leave the people of the Eastern Capital. Please General Li go first, I will stay to admonish the Ming army and treat my people of Annam well. ”
Li Li's brows furrowed, "Your Majesty's loyalty can be seen, please move the queen!" ”
At this time, a sergeant downstairs ran up and said in a deep voice: "General, go quickly!" The Ming army wants to outflank the manor from the left and right flanks, if you don't leave immediately, I'm afraid it's too late! ”
Li Li was a young man in his early twenties, but he was very calm. He raised his hand to stop the sergeant who came to report it, and continued to persuade: "The Ming people are the generation of jackals, and the king and queen of Han have never known each other; And the subordinates saved the queen in danger, and for the sake of the queen, he did not hesitate to offend the minister of power Hu Yuancheng! Who can be trusted, doesn't the queen know? ”
Chen paused for a moment and said, "General Li's kindness is kind, and I will repay it later." ”
"Please move the Queen!" Li Litie blushed and suddenly walked forward.
Chen's face changed suddenly.
At this moment, Chen Xingwang stood in front of Chen, stretched out his arms to protect Chen, and said, "The queen has said ......."
Before Chen Xingwang could speak, suddenly a sword light flashed, "Bell! With a sudden sound, Li Li pulled out his sword and swept straight towards Chen Xingwang's abdomen at the same time. Ahh
The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and there were still many people standing up and down the gatehouse, all of them motionless.
Chen's face turned pale as paper, she didn't look down, her eyes glanced down at the bloody sword in Li Li's hand. One of the feet in her floor-dragging skirt had been gently raised, and she subconsciously wanted to step back; But the foot finally stepped back into place, and she still stood there, staring at Liley.
Li Li looked at her for a moment, then turned his head to look back, and there were many people up and down the gatehouse looking at it. His face turned very red, and he suddenly returned the sword to the scabbard with a "bell", and said, "Go!" ”
With that, Li Li ran down the stairs in a panic, hurriedly climbed on a horse, whipped the horse with a "snap", and galloped straight east.
Chen immediately squatted down in front of Chen Xingwang, watching a large amount of blood come out from between Chen Xingwang's fingers, she stretched out her jade hand, looking helpless, but finally did not press on Chen Xingwang's blood-stained wound.
"Chen Xingwang!" Chen shouted in Chinese.
Chen Xingwang opened his eyes with difficulty, glanced at Chen, and showed a hint of a smile.
"Wang ...... Queen, that night...... Sing, sing......" Chen Xingwang said half a sentence angrily, and his face became whiter and paler.
"Lang Zhong!" Chen stood up and shouted in Annamite.
But no one paid attention to her, and the people on the gatehouse were looking outside, and people were panicking.
Chen Xingwang said: "I can't live ......"
Chen had no choice but to squat down again, and said with a straight face: "You are loyal to me, and I will not forget it." ”
At this moment, suddenly her arms were grabbed and dragged backwards! Chen was pulled down in embarrassment, sat down on the ground, and hurriedly struggled: "What are you doing? ”
She looked left and right, and finally saw a lean man sneering in the middle of five or six people. Chen hurriedly said, "Bold! I am the queen, and you must not be rude! ”
The lean man didn't say much at all, and waved his hand: "Hurry up and take her and go!" ”
Chen Xingwang, who was lying on the ground, struggled to turn his head, watching the queen being pulled away by life, but he couldn't move.
...... "crackling" a row of firearms rang out, and a war horse in front of Zhu Gaoxu screamed and neighed, and the sergeant on the horseback scolded and fell off the horse.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the infantry phalanx that had just finished firing the firearms, waved his knife and shouted, "Kill!" ”
The horsemen kicked their horses and quickened their speed, and before they could rush to the front, the infantry phalanx of the Annan army suddenly scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions. Zhu Gaoxu scolded, kicked the horse and rushed up, swinging a knife to the side, and then heard a miserable scream, and an enemy soldier with a fire gun splashed blood on his back and fell to the ground.
Zhu Gaoxu continued to chase and kill, cutting several people in a row. The soldiers around him shouted and swept past him, and the crowd cried and shouted, and many of the enemy soldiers threw away their weapons and ran away like frightened pigeons.
Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse to the front of the West Gate Tower, looked up, there was no one on it, and he shouted: "Open the door!" The gatehouse didn't move, and no one responded.
At this moment, a horse rushed to the wall, and the sergeant was so dexterous that he gradually stood up on the horse's back, and when he saw that he was about to fall, the man jumped and grasped the head of the wall with both hands.
After a while, the gate opened, and Zhu Gaoxu rushed in with his own soldiers.
He rode into the manor, but saw that it was empty, and there was no one in sight. At this time, a woman's scream suddenly came from the north, and Zhu Gaoxu took his bow and arrow, turned around and ran over.
Rounding a house, he soon saw several people behind the north gate. Several men were standing in the doorway, one of them was looking through the crack in the door, and the other two were holding a woman together.
When they saw the cavalry coming, they turned their heads to look. Suddenly, the woman shouted in Chinese, "King Han save me!" ”
As soon as she shouted, she was immediately covered by a man next to her, and the other man's right shoulder moved, and his hand reached for the hilt of the knife at his waist! Zhu Gaoxu immediately drew his bow and aimed.
"Bang!" There was a string sound, and the arrow was planting the eyebrows of the man who drew the sword at about twenty paces! The man didn't even snort before he fell. Zhu Gaoxu directly abandoned the bow, and when he pulled out the Yanling knife, the war horse had already rushed to him, and he slashed at the head of the person holding the woman with a knife. Blood then splattered, splashing the woman's face. She stood there in horror, stunned.
Zhu Gaoxu and the others swept straight past the woman, and then turned around and rushed through the door. There was a scream, everyone was stabbed one by one, and the rest of the Annan men fell in a pool of blood, and there was no room for resistance at all.
Zhu Gaoxu's war horse couldn't stop immediately after sprinting, and rushed to the side for a while, only then did he restrain his mount. "Woohoo!" He shouted twice and turned the horse's head.
The woman also turned around and looked up at Zhu Gaoxu in a daze.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her twice, and saw that she was wearing a silk robe, with white skin that was rare in Annan, and she looked like a noblewoman. And it could be the queen!
This woman is really beautiful, and at first glance she is no different from the Han people, but her face is exotic, with a flat forehead and deep eye sockets. Her flowery expression made people feel intuitively pitiful, and there was a blood stain on her beautiful face, and there was a bit of weird poignant innocence.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at her while putting the Yanling knife back into its scabbard. She was also looking at Zhu Gaoxu.
"Are you Queen Annam?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
The woman nodded slightly: "Your Excellency is the King of Han in the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists and said: "It is this king." ”
When he heard the answer, he immediately jumped off his horse, threw the reins in his hand, and walked over to the queen. The queen's eyes were bright and bright, looking at Zhu Gaoxu, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and there were a thousand words, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand it.
People who have never met at all, even Zhu Gaoxu can't recognize her when he sees her. But at this moment, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity...... Perhaps, Zhu Gaoxu has been chasing this queen for a long time, and he is always thinking about her, so he has never seen each other, but it is better to know each other.
