After a rush of attack, Xing Feng's camp tent appeared in everyone's field of vision, and Lin Tianyi signaled the army to rest for a while, make a slight adjustment, and wait for the other two soldiers and horses to be in place. Yuan Rui came to Lin Tianyi's side, and the two of them looked at Xing Feng's camp from afar, and they both had an uncontrollable excitement in their hearts. "Your Highness, after today, you and I must have been on the way back to Luoyang, it seems that Your Highness has no chance to lead the troops alone on this expedition!" Lin Tianyi said proudly.

Yuan Rui did not have the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, his eyebrows were soothed, and he showed a heartfelt smile: "Stopping the war is martial arts, the real martial arts are not about how many enemy heads are killed, but whether you can calm the dispute at the lowest cost and return the world to peace." The general destroyed the enemy in one battle, and that couldn't be better. ”

Lin Tianyi was slightly stunned, and his old face flushed: "Your Royal Highness has the world in mind, and does not care about your own gains and losses. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw a large flock of flying birds fluttering up from Xing Feng's tent, circling back and forth several times above before flapping their wings and leaving. Lin Tianyi and Yuan Rui glanced at each other, their faces changed greatly, and they didn't care about greeting the left and right, and directly killed Xing Feng's camp.

As expected, when Lin Tianyi led the army to kill, he found that what was standing in front of them was only an empty camp, and there were still a few straw men standing in a suspicious formation between the tents. "Bastard!" Lin Tianyi drew his sword and cut down a straw man and vented, "The enemy army has withdrawn, and the Yangxia defenders are unaware, this general wants to ask Deng Xian, how did he become a Yangxia Taishou?" ”

When Lin Tianyi led a group of Yulin generals to break into Yangxia City angrily, Taishou Deng Xian was already standing on the side of the road, and he was sincerely afraid and didn't dare to say a word. Lin Tianyi squinted at this Yangxia Taishou who was haggard because of defending the city, and the anger that was already ready to be launched was a little unbearable to attack him at this time, and he complained in his voice: "Deng Taishou, you are inevitably too timid, Xing Feng has been withdrawn for a long time, leaving an empty camp, you are still afraid to cower in the city and dare not come out!" ”

Deng Xian bowed deeply: "General Hui, it is precisely because the subordinate officials are timid that they dare not go out of the city to keep this Yangxia City, right?" ”

I have to say that after thinking about it, Deng Xian's words are quite reasonable. With Xing Feng's small number of troops, if he wants to fight a siege battle, he will definitely pay a heavy price. For them, luring the defenders outside the city to annihilate them was the best strategy. Lin Tianyi smiled helplessly: "Although you can protect yourself with such a style of play, you can't annihilate the enemy, are you waiting for Xing Feng's conscience to find out that he has withdrawn to Nanliang?" If General Ben hadn't arrived, how could he have retreated? ”

Deng Xian replied respectfully: "Ren Qian, the captain of the horse, has been fighting horses for half his life, and his battlefield experience is ten times that of his subordinates, but he sacrificed his life for the country in just one battle with the enemy. The subordinate asked himself that he was definitely not Xing Feng's opponent on the battlefield, and the reason why he couldn't defend it was because he was waiting for the general to lead the heavenly soldiers to come over and sweep away the thieves. ”

Deng Xian is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, and in just a few words, Lin Tianyi's anger disappeared, and he was no longer held accountable for his negligence.

But Shangguan Qian couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but tease: "Our General Lin originally liked to listen to this kind of talk, no wonder our Highness ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Rui hurriedly stopped: "Senior Shangguan, don't make trouble!" ”

Although Shangguan Qian obeyed the order and said no more, he still looked at Lin Tianyi with disdain. Lin Tianyi didn't care about him, pretended not to see it, and arranged for the army to enter the city to rest, while continuing to send scouts to investigate Xing Feng's movements, so as to intercept and kill him before he fled back to Nanliang.

It's strange to say, this Xing Feng seems to have disappeared, the scouts went all the way south to the border with Nanliang, and still did not find a single trace of Liang soldiers, could it be that Xing Feng had already withdrawn to Nanliang with his entire army? But Xing Feng was not alone, but led an army, how to avoid all the eyes and ears along the way and retreat to Nanliang, Yuan Rui and the others were puzzled.

It happened that Deng Xian was beside him, and Yuan Rui asked casually: "Deng Fujun, what kind of person is this Xing Feng, why can he capture so many counties of my Great Wei with a mere 10,000 Liang troops?" ”

Deng Xian was silent for a while: "Your Highness, bring someone to see Your Highness, he has met Xing Feng twice on the battlefield, and it must be more appropriate for him to tell His Highness that it is better to come than His Highness." ”

Lin Tianyi was also interested when he heard this: "Are there still such people in your Yangxia City?" Hurry up! The tone was obviously a mockery of the rest of the people, who were afraid of the enemy.

Deng Xian's face turned slightly red, and he retreated, and soon brought a middle-aged general in his thirties and forties. The man saluted Lin Tianyi and Yuan Rui: "The last general, Liao Shining, has seen the general, Your Highness!" Then he stood aside.

Lin Tianyi's tone was quite appreciative: "I heard that Deng Taishou said that the general had fought with Xing Feng several times, is there anything wrong?" ”

Liao Shining laughed at himself: "I don't dare to talk about fighting, I'm just chased by him all the way!" ”

Lin Tianyi changed color instantly, and Yuan Rui hurriedly asked Liao Shining before he got angry, "General Liao, can you tell me the specific details?" ”

Liao Shining frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he had returned to that afternoon half a month ago. For more than 100 years, the border between the north and the south has continued to move southward, and the north is strong and the south is weak, which has become the consensus of the world, whether it is the Song Qi before or the Southern Liang today, even if the Great Wei is now mired in civil strife, no Wei people have ever thought that there will be a day when they will be invaded by the Liang State, including Liao Shining.

As the garrison captain of the Great Wei Dynasty, Liao Shining has been stationed at Tianning Pass to defend the Liang army for many years, and has never stepped on a war horse except for actively harassing Liang outside the country a few times. When Ren Qian, the commander of Tianning Pass, urgently transferred his five lieutenants to lead the headquarters to meet the attacking Liang army, Liao Shining even felt a little unbelievable, did these Liang dogs eat leopard gall? Dare to take advantage of the civil strife in my Great Wei to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, have you forgotten the ugly state when we were beaten and fled with our tails between them?

When the five of them saw Ren Qian, they all asked him about the accuracy of the news: "General, is the intelligence reliable?" How dare the Liang people beat us? Isn't their emperor Xiao Yan bent on Buddha, and has long since lost his pride? ”

Ren Qian snorted coldly: "The information is naturally true, and there will be no fakes!" For hundreds of years, there have always been some frivolous Southern Dynasty generals, who have never forgotten to shout about the Northern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, which is nothing new. I heard that there are only 10,000 people in the enemy army this time, and it seems that Xiao Yan has no determination to go on the Northern Expedition, so it is estimated that he is just making a show for those radicals. But now that they're here, we've got to make them understand how serious the consequences of being hot-headed! ”

Everyone laughed, and they all gathered their troops and horses in the pass, waiting for Ren Qian's dispatch at any time.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no shadow of a Liang soldier, and everyone was secretly wondering if there were any enemy troops, and a team of men and horses finally appeared at the end of the sight. The first one was thin and dressed in a white robe, which stood out in the afternoon sun. "Pompous!" Ren Qian spat disdainfully.

"The people of the Southern Dynasties always boast of being famous and romantic, and they clean up these useless things!" Liao Shining also couldn't get used to that person's style.

When the enemy came to pass, Ren Qian and the others vaguely saw that his appearance was quite elegant, and the contempt for him in their hearts became even stronger. "Whoever is coming, report your name!" Ren Qian lazily routinely conducted procedural pre-war interrogations.

Liang General: "The Great Liang North Seeks the Metropolitan Governor, Holding the Festival, Opening the Mansion and the Three Divisions......"

"Name!" Ren Qian interrupted him impatiently.

Liang Jiang: "Xing Feng! ”

Ren Qian: "You don't need to know our name, anyway, you will be a dead man soon!" Kill! With Ren Qian's order, Tianning closed the door wide, and the three captains led the crowd to rush out.

Xing Fengfu was defeated and retreated as soon as he fought, and even the arrows shot from the rear formation were very weak. "Do you still want to go on the Northern Expedition?" Ren Qian was already smiling, "Liao Shining, Xiang Wei!" Go out with General Ben, don't let this Xing ...... Something ran away! ”

The two of them agreed with a bang, leading the remaining soldiers and horses in the pass to pour out, and the Wei army suddenly became imposing. Xing Feng "resisted" for a while, then returned to his horse and retreated, and while running, he and his subordinates turned back and shot arrows from time to time, but the arrows were too weak, although there were several leather armor that hit Ren Qian and others, but they fell to the ground after shaking twice.

"Hahaha!" Ren Qian laughed wildly and chased closer and closer, and saw Xing Feng suddenly stop from a distance, turn around and shoot an arrow at him. Ren Qian also said that this arrow is as weak as before, just wait for it to arrive and flick it gently, no! Maybe it won't get to me at all.

But this time he was wrong, and there is no chance to correct it, life is like this, sometimes one wrong step, there is never a day to turn over, God is not so merciful to always leave a way back for those who make mistakes. The momentum of this arrow was completely different from those weak arrows earlier, Ren Qian had noticed it after a while, but just when he hesitated for a moment, this arrow had already reached his eyes with a strong wind, and the cold light of the arrow quickly expanded. Blood burst out, and sharp arrows pierced the brain from the right eye, penetrating the skull with force that still did not subside, and half of the arrow cluster was drilled out of the back of the head in a daze.
