Compared to the brutality of the battlefield in the south, the battlefield in the east and west was a little more flat, the two sides were evenly matched, Geng Yan and He Yunke finally controlled the battlefield situation after paying huge casualties, and they began to slowly withdraw their troops towards the north, although there was not much left of the army.

The flow of people on the Taoshui is surging, the people are passing along the ice in an orderly manner, and there are Liang Dynasty soldiers on the opposite bank, above the Taoshui and at the gate of the north city to maintain order.

"General, you should hurry over too!" Shen Yongnian suggested: "Just leave it to me here!" ”

King Yu nodded and said to everyone: "This is left to you, I will go to join Ou Luyang, your responsibility is to protect the people across the river, and the task after the break is borne by Geng Yan." ”

"The last general obeys!"

In order to alleviate the pressure on the ice, King Yu gave up his war horse and walked across the ice on foot, but the section of ice he walked on had silently extended cracks like blood vessels. In fact, not only this section, but also the lower layer of this large area of ice that the people have stepped on is already full of cracks, and under the not thick ice surface is still flowing water.

"This speed is still too slow, Duan Lang, Xing Gang, Xuan Shaoning, the three of you go to expand some space and let more people pass at the same time." Shen Yongnian ordered.

The three of them agreed with Shen Yongnian's military order, but Xuan Shaoning felt that it was a bit risky, so he admonished: "General Shen, getting more people on the ice at the same time can indeed speed up the speed of crossing the river, but at the same time, it will also cause more pressure on the ice surface, and the last will be worried that the ice surface is not enough to support everyone to cross the river." ”

"You're right, but the enemy forces behind us are mainly cavalry, and if they come quickly, the remaining people who have not had time to cross the river will be a living target for the enemy. In this way, the three of you must not only maintain order, but also keep an eye on the ice and report it as soon as it happens! ”

"The last general obeys!"

Shen Yongnian turned to Ling Feiyan and Si Heng and ordered: "You and I are here to escort the people across the river, while waiting for the withdrawal of troops from three sides!" ”

Shen Yongnian They didn't wait too long, the first team that appeared at the north gate was He Yunke's left guard, and when they appeared, basically every soldier was covered in blood. He Yunke had already lost his war horse, and so did the soldiers behind him, and when they appeared, Shen Yongnian had mixed feelings.

The good thing is that there is finally a guard under his command who has successfully returned, and the sad thing is that even this last guard has already lost eight out of ten, and there are only a few hundred people in total.

"General!"

"Don't salute, cross the river at once!"

"General, although the enemy in the west has basically been wiped out by us, the combined forces of Xia Tang and Xiliang have already rushed over to this side, so let the last general stay and break the queen!"

"The mission after the break is not for you, you have other tasks, crossing the water does not mean safety, you also need to continue to ensure the safety of the whole army, and cross the river immediately!"

"The last general obeys!"

When the left guard stepped on the ice, Xuan Shaoning already felt faintly uneasy, and now on the wide river, there were people and troops densely arranged. Xuan Shaoning looked at Duan Lang and asked with his eyes, Duan Lang naturally understood, he lay on the ice regardless of the cold and listened to any noise coming from the ice.

The surroundings were too noisy, all kinds of noises were mixed together, disturbing Duan Lang's judgment, he could only close his eyes and try to restrain his emotions and try his best to calm down, this process was not easy to do, even Duan Lang, who was a master of public opinion, was still lacking in Taoism now.

Xuan Shaoning watched Duan Lang lying on the ice, even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't urge, so he could only wait quietly. At present, the left rank guard has arrived, and there are still Geng Yan's Jin Jiawei and Peng Anze's Tun Lianwei, Xuan Shaoning looked up but never saw them.

Click! Duan Lang heard it, it was the sound of the ice cracking, and his heart began to slowly rise, he continued to listen, and soon the sound of clicking, clicking and clicking was endless. Duan Lang suddenly opened his eyes, no, the ice surface is almost unbearable, and everyone must be reminded immediately!

Duan Lang stood up suddenly, and was about to open his mouth to shout at Xuan Shaoning, but he felt a vibration and crackle on the ice, which was the vibration and sound caused by the horses running across the ice. Needless to say, most people felt the vibration of the ice surface, and with the vibration, cracks on the ice surface began to appear on the surface from below.

When one crack after another cracked in front of everyone, the people who had stopped in their tracks who were originally frightened by the shock immediately panicked, and everyone began to panic, no longer moving forward according to order, and ran with their hooves spread, so that the ice cracked more and more.

Worst! Xuan Shaoning shouted to the crowd: "Don't run, everyone, the ice will crack faster!" Don't panic! ”

The result was predictable, his cries had no effect, and no one among the people listened to him at all. At this moment, Geng Yanbu arrived, and their arrival brought bad news - the enemy army was coming.

Ling Scarlet Yan clenched her grip and planned to fight, but Si Heng held her hand and said, "Scarlet Yan, I'm afraid that the ice surface will not be supported for long, you hurry up and cross the river." ”

"Let's go together!"

"Listen to me, you go first, and I'll be there later!"

"Don't you come to bluff me! As long as you don't move, I won't go! ”

Ling Feiyan didn't wait for Si Heng to persuade him again, pushed him away, threw out the fold, and threw him to the ground around the neck of a lower Tang soldier.

The enemy followed too closely, Geng Yan immediately stopped and ordered the golden armor guard to line up to meet the enemy, Ling Tieying was also among them, he was wielding a machete and fighting hard, but after all, he was unable to catch it and was cut on the arm, and the blood could not stop flowing, so he could only retreat step by step.

"Daddy!" Ling Feiyan arrived in time, and only then did Ling Tieying be rescued. "Dad, hurry up and cross the river!"

"What did you say? Is Dad this kind of greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"Of course not, Dad is a big hero in the Xuanjia Army, but my daughter is the only one like you, go away, my daughter will fight for you."

"Nonsense! Dying on the battlefield should be my old bones, you are still young, and you still have more life to experience. ”

"I said, don't push it off, when is this!" Si Heng grabbed a person with one hand, and limped to the ice without saying anything, and Ling Feiyan broke free of Si Heng's hand.

"What are you doing here!"

Si Heng didn't plan to theorize at all at this time, he stepped forward and forcibly kissed Ling Scarlet Yan, no matter how she struggled. Ling Feiyan struggled for a while and slowly gave up, she let Si Heng kiss her affectionately, and the two hugged each other for a long time, as if they were not in a battle at all.

"Scarlet Yan, be obedient, hurry up and take your father across the river, there are many ways to be loyal, unless we have to, we shouldn't choose to sacrifice such a road."

"What about you......."

Si Heng covered Ling Feiyan's mouth with his hand, "Time is really running out, believe me, I will definitely cross the river alive, and I still have to marry you!" ”

Without waiting for Ling Feiyan to say, the ice surface, which had been struggling on the verge of collapse for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore and completely split apart. The first crack was on the road that the people had to run, and the sudden opening of a big mouth caught everyone off guard, and the people who fell into the water had not had time to shout for help, and more and more people who couldn't stop their footsteps behind them were following in their footsteps.

The ice split very quickly, it didn't take long for the cracks to extend in all directions, and the cracks arrived at the place where the cracks followed the breaches, if someone stood at the head of Anzhou City and overlooked, he would definitely see that a big hole broke out in the middle of the water, and spread from the big hole, the ice surface broke one after another, and the holes were more and more and slowly connected, and the ice was about to collapse completely.

"It's too late, let's go!" Si Heng roared at Ling Scarlet Yan with red eyes, but instead of being angry, Ling Scarlet Yan was also red-eyed, she was no longer a warrior at this time, but a wife who did not want to be separated from her husband, how she wanted to hold Si Heng's hand, and the two crossed the river together.

"Let's go!"

With Si Heng's roar, Ling Scarlet Yan and Ling Tieying finally turned around and started running, but before she could run two steps, Si Heng yelled behind her: "Scarlet Yan, I love you!" I love you, I will come back alive, I will carry a sedan chair to marry you! ”

Ling Feiyan didn't look back, her tears couldn't stop flying out, she nodded as she ran, silently thinking in her heart: I believe in you, I believe in you!
