Seeing that Zhao Yuan's heart had been decided, Yuan Hong's hundreds of soldiers could only give orders, so in the river valley where the heavy rain was pouring, strings of Bei'an soldiers floated downstream like fish and shrimp holding the river trees in the water.

After Huangfu Chenghao left the Li army, he hurried back to Zhongdu, in order to avoid people's eyes, Huangfu Chenghao arrived at the farmhouse of Prince Yong's mansion as a fugitive, Huangfu Song learned that Huangfu Chenghao was back, and immediately came to meet.

"Dad, the Bei'an army marched south, defeated the Yan army one after another, and has passed the boundary of Yongning County at this moment..."

Hearing the news, Huangfu Song frowned: "What about you?" Where are your men? ”

"On the way back, he was accidentally caught up by the rangers of the Bei'an Army, and because the two sides did not know each other, there was a conflict, and Er's command was defeated..."

Huangfu Chenghao's heart was on fire: "Dad, this Bei'an Army really can't be underestimated..."

Huangfu Song paced back and forth: "If the Bei'an Army really does what you say, it will indeed be a trouble, Zhongdu Nangong Qingyu is in charge of 50,000 forbidden troops, and the defense is absolutely strong, King Yan can't take the city gate in a short time, he will be defeated, in that case, King Yan will lose the foundation of the championship..."

"Dad, there is a way..."Huangfu Chenghao approached and said: "Er met the Li army at the boundary of Dongjun, which is the soldiers and horses of the Zhang family of the Li Cheng Army in Northern Xinjiang, with about 8,000 elite horsemen!" ”

"Why did these local military officers come here with troops? What do they want to do? ”

"Dad, this Zhang Qi is a kind of power meritorious, he appeared in the Zhongdu Tianlei Zhu case two years ago, at that time, this Zhang Qi and King Yan had an intersection, and I wanted to worship his subordinates as a slave!"

"How can the old man not know about this?"

Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and Huangfu Chenghao smiled: "At that time, it was none of our business, we didn't need to mix, but now it's different, since Zhang Qi wants to take advantage of the situation to make meritorious contributions and fight for a position, then why don't we take advantage of it, at least his elite cavalry has good combat power, if it is used in the right place, there will be unexpected results!" ”

"If it makes sense, then this matter will be handled by you!"

After Huangfu Song ordered Huangfu Chenghao to privately contact Zhang Qi, he summoned the generals and private soldiers in the palace to prepare for what was to come.

A day later, the army of King Yan arrived under the city of Zhongdu, looking at the towering city wall, the army of King Yan surrounded the city of three villages, the city of the capital was surrounded to death, although the Yan army was huge, but Nangong Qingyu should not fight at all, he used the high wall sharp weapon, successively repelled the king of Yan three siege temptations, which made the heart of the army of the capital greatly inspired.

"Your Majesty, with Qingshuai stationed, Your Majesty can have no worries!"

Du Ruting reported the battle situation, and Emperor Xia Wu's heart opened slightly: "Pass on Nangong Qingyu, but you can't defend it, I want to see how much time King Yan can delay here!" ”

In the middle camp of the Yan army, King Yan stood on a high platform and looked at the central capital, and his heart was depressed: "This Nangong Qingyu should be like an old turtle, he can't defend it, and he is trying to drag down this king!" ”

"Your Highness, as long as you give an order, the last general will personally lead the dead soldiers to rush to the city, and you will definitely be able to take the city!"

He Qi asked for his life, and King Yan reprimanded him: "This kind of mediocre act of wasting military strength in vain, this king will definitely not do it!" ”

King Yan looked at Han Mingzhen: "Sir, what can you do to break Nangong Qingyu?" ”

Han Mingzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there are ways to break the city, but if you use it more poisonously, I am afraid that it will damage Your Highness's wisdom!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" King Yan raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant.

"Nangong Qingyu is a veteran of the first emperor, and his ability to fight is not much worse than Qin Yi, if he sticks to it, it will be really difficult for His Highness to take the central capital, so he can only calculate poisonous moves... Take the poor people as a lure, trap and kill its might, and let Nangong Qingyu go out of the city to save it, so that there is a five-point chance of winning! ”

"This..."

King Yan hesitated, and Han Mingzhen knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, those who become big things do not stick to small sections, and you can know from the previous temptation to attack the city, Emperor Xia Wu must order Nangong Qingyu to defend to the death, so that at most, half a month, our army will be short of food, coupled with heavy rain and floods, this place cannot stay for a long time, so the quick attack is the core of His Highness's victory, and the drag war is the foundation of Emperor Xia Wu's defense!" ”

"That's it! It's up to you! ”

Stimulated by the status of imperial power, King Yan was ruthless, and Han Mingzhen immediately began to search for the refugees in Siye, so as to force Nangong Qingyu to fight.

In the evening, the city of Zhongdu was in turmoil, when the guard looked at Hu Zong, he was startled, in front of the city gate, thousands of refugees were crying and wailing, and a hundred steps away, it was the Yan army soldiers who were waiting for the battle.

In front of the Yan army, Pan Jun stood on his horse with a long knife in his hand, looking at the head of the central capital without movement, Pan Jun shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

At the sound of an order, a team of archers threw a rain of arrows at the group of refugees, mixed with the cry of the rain curtain, and more than 1,000 refugees fell to the ground in half, and this scene only spurted blood from Hu Zongqi at the head of the city.

"Swallow thief beast, don't do the butcher's behavior!"

Hu Zong scolded and turned around to go out of the city for a decisive battle, but Nangong Qingyu didn't know when he was already standing behind him.

"Qing Shuai, the Yan thief is really hateful, he actually slaughtered the people of Zhongdu in public... Such a mess is an unforgivable sin! ”

"Shut up!"

Nangong Qingyu screamed, Hu Zong closed his voice, Nangong Qingyu came to the city, and looked at it with big eyes, the hundreds of refugees were pitiful, it was simply unbearable, although Nangong Qingyu also wanted to save it in his heart, but the Yan cavalry who were waiting for the battle would take the opportunity to rush and attack the city, as long as he made a mistake, the outer city of Zhongdu might fall, and at that time Zhongdu was in danger, and he could not afford this responsibility.

"Qing Shuai can be at the head of the city?"

Suddenly, a shout came from under the city, and Hu Zong looked at it, and it was He Qi, the general of the Yan army.

He Qi rode forward alone, without fear, he looked at the head of the city and said: "Qingshuai, His Royal Highness King Yan knows your prestige and fame, if you are willing to surrender to him, His Highness will reward you generously..."

The bowstring of "whoosh" shook, a feather arrow flew out through the rain, He Qi flown into the rung, and the feather arrow broke in mid-air.

"Damn... Almost! ”

Hu Zong shouted pity, Nangong Qingyu stared at the general, his brows were tightly locked, and after a while, Nangong Qingyu ordered to release the arrows, He Qi did not dare to delay, and he would turn the horse, Pan Jun even ordered the soldiers to drive the refugees forward, Nangong Qingyu saw this, and quickly restrained his subordinates, so as not to be the butcher.

He Qi rushed back to the front of the battle, and said to King Yan: "Your Highness, it's done, then Nangong Qingyu is afraid that he will hurt the refugees, so he really didn't force a counterattack!" ”

King Yan nodded, and looked at Han Mingzhen: "Sir, let's see who can survive whom!" ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Xia Wu was disturbed by the soldiers of King Yan in the city, at this time, the clerk of the military council came to report the battle situation, and after listening to it, Emperor Xia Wu said: "Nangong Qingyu sticks to the meritorious service and rewards it!" ”

After the scribe left, Zheng Qian whispered: "Your Majesty, an hour ago, the Yan army forced the refugees to enter the city, and their generals shouted, but Nangong Qingyu did not shoot them, but let the Yan thieves flee back!" ”
