『Chapter error, click here to report』

In the vast dark night, the ground roared, like a flash flood, sweeping the land.

100,000 iron horsemen, with a murderous spirit in their hearts, shuttled across the plains, roaring and shouting, and struggling to move forward!

No matter where the Vietnamese army was, in order to obtain a rich reward, this group of cavalry, who had not rested, still broke out like a torrent of wildness.

All the way to the west, in hot pursuit!

Two hundred miles in front of the cavalry, a long army of infantry marched forward in the darkness of the night.

In front of the army, Qin Qiong led the troops to explore the road, and in the process of moving forward, he encountered Yan cavalry coming from the western front.

In the center of the army, it was Han Rongguang, sitting on horseback, confused and extremely tired. Behind him, there were many heirs and concubines of the royal family of the Yue Kingdom, these people were sitting in the carriage, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind whistling in their ears.

On weekdays, he is pampered in the palace, how can he go on a starry night, sleep in the open and march in a hurry, and go forward for half a day, he has already complained bitterly.

There are even many princes and princesses who want to turn around and return to the imperial city, and would rather die in the imperial city than travel hard.

However, Han Rongguang passed on the prince's order, and anyone who dared to delay the march would be killed.

Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, and Han Shankui, the three generals, are the first to look forward to Han Rongguang, and the prince and concubine who have no military power can only continue to hurry.

In the rear of the members of the royal family, many carts, loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, food and ordnance, part of the Vietnamese army protection, hurried to the front line.

In the rear of the army, Qin Yue and Han Shankui led the troops to break off, and they were always vigilant against Yan cavalry catching up.

Continuing to march rapidly, not daring to delay the slightest, Han Rongguang and the Vietnamese soldiers under his tent were exhausted, but they still did not dare to stop and rest.

"Mother, how long is it until Huangyu Mountain, why does the imperial brother keep hurrying like a demon?" In the carriage near Han Rongguang, a young woman lifted the curtain, looked at the dark night sky outside with a pair of smart eyes, and asked **** in the carriage.

The carriage was close to Han Rongguang, obviously very noble in status.

The questioner is Han Xifan's young daughter, Han Rongguang's mother's sister Han Ningzhi, and the beautiful woman next to her is Li Guifei's mother, Han Rongguang's mother!

Concubine Li Guifei caressed Han Ningzhi's hair lovingly, and whispered: "Hugh should ask more, rest for a while, and at dawn, you will arrive at Huangyu Mountain and join your father!"

"Really?" Han Ningzhi asked, smiling!

"Of course, when did the mother deceive you!" Li Guifei bowed her head and said tiredly.

Han Ningzhi heard the sound, pillowed her head on Concubine Li's shoulder, and closed her eyes slightly.

Like a team of giant serpents scurrying through the ground, bloated and slow!

At midnight, Han Rongguang was tired and unbearable, and the Vietnamese troops who were rushing continuously complained bitterly, and finally, Han Rongguang ordered the army to stop and rest!

The team was stationed, Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, and Han Shankui came from the front and rear respectively and gathered around Han Shankui.

Qin Yue took out the map of the army from the bamboo tube around his waist, put it on the ground and took out the fire fold, and after careful observation, he said to Han Rongguang: "Your Highness, this place is not far from the Huangyu Mountain Pass, according to our marching speed, at dawn, you can enter the mountain, and no longer care about the pursuit of the Vietnamese army!"

"Is it" Han Rongguang grabbed the kettle and drank wildly, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and said with a happy face: "At the beginning, when we evacuated, we should drive the people in the city, bury fire oil in the city and the palace, and burn the imperial city and bury the main force of the Yan army when the Yan army enters the city!"

Hearing the sound, Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, and Han Shankui smiled bitterly, it was already a blessing in misfortune to escape from the Vietnamese army.

If they are deployed in the imperial city and palace, they will be unable to escape with their whole body if they delay time.

At that time, the Vietnamese army may have been buried in the imperial city, and they and the members of the imperial family may have become prisoners of the Yan army.

"Your Highness, we must not underestimate the enemy against the Yan army, if we have a little flaw, it may become our dead end, when the last general is deployed in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, the distance between the Yan army and the Yan army is very far away, and the other party is still quietly deploying in the Tiger Roaring Ridge, severely invading the Yan Hu general, and annihilating the main force under the account of the last general." Han Shankui reminded Han Rongguang that he didn't even want to stop and rest, lest Yan Qi catch up.

"Who would have thought that Emperor Yan would stay in the Yan army to rise from the poor countryside and sweep away the vassal states with the momentum of the wind and clouds!" Han Rongguang said with emotion.

As the words fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and suddenly, Han Shankui took the lead in standing up and looking west.

Han Rongguang, Qin Yue, and Qin Qiong also stood up quickly, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and looked forward with a stunned expression.

As the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, Han Shankui turned to Han Rongguang and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, if you ride alone, it can't be Yan Jun."

However, Han Rongguang, Qin Yue, and Qin Qiong still did not relax their vigilance, and soon, the cavalry in the distance approached and broke into the ranks of the Vietnamese army, and there was a moment of commotion in front of them, and calm returned under the night sky.

"What's going on, why is there a lone cavalry approaching in the west, isn't it that the Yan army on the western front has broken through Yueyun Mountain, and the Wu-Yue coalition army led by Mu Junchen?" Han Rongguang walked back and forth, nervously asking.

Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, and Han Shankui looked at each other, but they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of making a mistake in judgment.

No matter what happens on the Western Front, I believe that there will definitely be generals who will come to report.

Sure enough, soon, soldiers on the Western Front came in a hurry.

I saw two Vietnamese soldiers supporting a wounded messenger, and they didn't come quickly, and the place they passed aroused the vigilance of many members of the royal family in the team.

The three Vietnamese soldiers approached, and many royal heirs were already surrounded.

Glancing at the injured messenger, Han Rongguang vaguely felt a sense of crisis, and asked sharply, "Where did you come from, why are you so embarrassed."

"This is Your Highness, what do you have to say, hurry up and report to Your Highness!" Next to the Vietnamese army to the messenger street.

The messenger looked up at Han Rongguang, and suddenly howled and cried, "Your Highness. Your Highness... The defense of the Western Front was broken by the Yan army, and hundreds of thousands of Wu Yue troops were dispersed and killed by the Yan army, and our army was already crushed!"

Hiss!

Hearing the news, everyone present, including the heirs of the royal family, and the transferred Vietnamese soldiers still couldn't help but gasp!

The defense of the Western Front was defeated, how could the defense of the Western Front be defeated?

Many people muttered secretly, you must know that the Wu-Yue coalition army on the Western Front totaled as many as 300,000, and they held on for two months, but they were broken by the Yan army without warning!

Han Rongguang was so panicked that he couldn't help but step forward and grab the messenger's armor, and shouted: "You don't want to bewitch the people, the defense of the Western Front is strong, the waters are vast, and the Wu-Yue coalition army is in full swing, how can it be defeated by the Yan army!" If you don't tell the truth, don't blame this king for killing you!"

The messenger looked nervous, and did not expect the prince to be so violent, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the Wu-Yue coalition army and the Yan army are facing off in the Ningtai area, and the two sides should be at peace.

With this, Li Xianyang, the defender of the city, was the secret minister of the Yan army who stayed in the Yue country, and when Zhao Hongru led the troops to attack the city, he led his army to mutiny at the head of the city and captured the general Mu.

Ningtai is the core of the defense of the western front, Ningtai is lost, the defense of the western front is cut off from the center by the Yan army, and the Wu-Yue coalition army cannot exchange news, so the Yan army adopts the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain!"

Hearing this, Han Rongguang threw away the messenger and turned to look at Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, and Han Shankui, as if asking about the feasibility of the news for the three of them.

"Your Highness, Ningtai City is indeed garrisoned by General Mu Junchen!" Qin Yue affirmed the spies' words, turned around and asked, "General Yue, General King Wu, where are the remnants of their army?"

"The Western Front collapsed, General Yue collected more than 40,000 Wu and Yue stragglers and deployed in Xiaoxiang City, two hundred miles away from Huangyu Mountain, Wang Zhengwen led the Wu army and hurriedly returned to Wu State, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army will not be able to block the edge of the Yan army, and will no longer unite with the Yue army!" The spy looked gloomy and panted!

Xiaoxiang City?

Han Rongguang was silent, cold sweat flowed on his forehead, Xiaoxiang City gathered the imperial city is already very close, especially from Xiaoxiang City to the imperial city for more than four hundred miles, except for the southern Huangyu Mountain, other places are flat, which is very conducive to Yan cavalry charging.

"Your Highness, Xiaoxiang City is afraid that it will not be able to stop the Yan army, we must hurry quickly and tell the emperor the news!" Qin Qiong clenched the hilt of his sword, his hands covered with cold sweat.

The city of Xiaoxiang is not big, because of its proximity to the imperial city, the city defense is weak, and it has not been strengthened for many years.

What's more, there are more than 40,000 Wu Yue scattered soldiers under Yue Yunshan's tent, and I am afraid that they do not have much combat effectiveness.

"That's right, Your Highness, the messenger is coming from the Western Front, if there is a Yan Cavalry driving straight from the Western Front, I believe it will appear soon, we must rush to the Topaz Mountain Pass as soon as possible!" Qin Yue urged, not daring to delay.

Hearing this, Han Rongguang bowed his head and said weakly: "Hurry, hurry up, so as not to meet Yan Jun on a narrow road!"

"The whole army is open, speed up and move in the direction of Huangyu Mountain!" Qin Yue, Qin Qiong, and Han Shankui jumped on their horses and hurriedly walked in their respective directions.

The ground was crooked, and the Vietnamese army was crying bitterly, just lying down, too late to stretch their bodies, and inexplicably conveying the order to march urgently.

Although the Vietnamese army was reluctant, the generals learned of the battle situation on the Western Front, and were worried that the Yan cavalry would kill at any time, even if everyone was exhausted, they still did not dare to delay and complain, unless they wanted to become the soul of the Yan army's war sword.

For a time, among the Vietnamese troops moving forward, the atmosphere was much duller, especially many Vietnamese troops had learned that the defense of the western front had been defeated, and the Yan army in the territory of Yue was assembling from the east and west, and the Vietnamese army at Huangyu Mountain would sooner or later be surrounded by the Yan army from all directions.

Without the assistance of the Wu army, the Vietnamese army lost half of its main force, and it may be difficult to stop the Yan army from killing!

During the bumpy carriage, Han Ningzhi woke up from her sleep and noticed that Li Guifei was wiping her tears alone, and asked in surprise: "Mother, what's wrong with you, is there anything bad happening?"

Hearing this, Concubine Li wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head slightly, hugged Han Ningzhi, squeezed out a smile on her well-maintained face, and said, "It's nothing, I just think of unhappy things."

Not long ago, Li Guifei learned about the situation on the Western Front from the messenger air, and she couldn't imagine that with the continuous invasion of the Yan army, the hope of victory in the Yue Kingdom became more and more slim.

If the Vietnamese army in Huangyu Mountain is annihilated by the Yan army, her own children will be captured by the Yan country, and they will either be imprisoned, beheaded, or sent to the palace as slaves and maids, and even more likely to become a prostitute, and even she herself will be humiliated by the Vietnamese army.

In the future, I dare not imagine the difficult situation!
