Chapter 592
At this moment, it seemed that the air was frozen, and as long as Shi Jian gave an order, Shi Min and the others were afraid of death.
"Your Highness! Look! The subordinate suddenly shouted at Shi Jian.
Shi Jian looked back, and a familiar figure slowly walked towards them.
"Mother!" Shi Jian was quite pleased, and took a few steps forward, but stopped again.
At this moment, Concubine Zheng didn't cry anymore or scream anymore, her heart should be broken. Shi Jian naturally didn't want his mother to lose her life, but his previous choice made him shameless to face Concubine Zheng, so Shi Jian, who was guilty, was a little overwhelmed.
And those who patrolled the battalion, since Shi Jian did not give the order, did not attack, and it seems that they have forgotten what they should do.
"I have worked hard to raise you as an adult, taught you to be kind to others, and did not ask you to be prominent in front of others, but only to live in peace." Concubine Zheng leaned on the palace wall, looked at Shi Jian, and suddenly reprimanded: "You actually killed your compatriot!" He's your brother! ”
"The fifth child's death was not what his son wanted, it was just an accident!" Shi Jian argued.
Concubine Zheng was heartbroken, she shook her head and said, "In today's court, there is a river of blood, all because of your selfishness!" O iniquity! ”
"Mother, how can there be no sacrifice to achieve great things? You have been neglected in the Evergreen Palace for decades, shouldn't your son fight for you for the glory and wealth you deserve? ”
Concubine Zheng knelt on the ground weakly, and Shi Jian was about to step forward to help her, only to hear Concubine Zheng muttering: "My son's sins, let me, a mother, taste them!" ”
After speaking, Concubine Zheng suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it into her chest.
"Mother!" Shi Jian didn't expect his mother to do such a thing at all, he ran up like crazy and knelt in front of Concubine Zheng.
"Mother, why are you doing this!" Shi Jian finally shed tears.
Concubine Zheng was bleeding at the moment, the tears in the corners of her eyes were still there, and she snorted: "The great crime you committed...... For my mother, I understand all ...... today."
"Mother......" Shi Jian cried bitterly.
"Let go of the Xihua Marquis Mansion......" Concubine Zheng grabbed Shi Jian's hand tightly and her eyes widened.
Before Shi Jian could respond, Concubine Zheng suddenly let go of her hand and slowly closed her eyes.
"Mother!" Shi Jian gently shook Concubine Zheng, but did not get any response.
This kind woman passed away in such a very lonely way, perhaps when she was dying, she still had great regret and reluctance, but it was too late.
Shi Jian's eyes were red, anger burned in his heart, he turned his head and looked at Shi Min in the distance, he was ruthless! He hated why Shi Min had drawn his kind mother into a fight that didn't belong to her.
"Shi Min!" Shi Jian roared: "Take your life!" ”
"Shoot the arrows!" Someone decisively gave an order to the forbidden army.
Shi Jian rushed towards Shi Min with a knife, at this moment he had no other thoughts in his heart except to take Shi Min's life, although Concubine Zheng told him before she died that she wanted to let go of the Xihua Marquis Mansion, but anger had made him almost lose his mind.
"Whoosh~" An arrow shot out of the crowd, and it hit Shi Jian's chest coldly, and Shi Jian, who was running, fell to the ground heavily.
"Your Highness!" Shi Jian's men immediately rushed forward.
When they helped Shi Jian up, they found that the arrow just now almost killed him, but fortunately Shi Jian wore armor and was not fatally injured, but it didn't look like it could be ignored.
The siege of the forbidden army caused Shi Min's remaining hundreds of people to suffer heavy casualties, and just when Shi Jian thought that he was sure of victory, the neighing of a war horse resounded in the sky.
"Dada......dada" The sound of horses' hooves was followed by an overwhelming shout of killing.
Shi Jian and everyone were taken aback, and before they could figure out the situation, they saw a well-equipped cavalry in uniform break through the palace gate and go straight for them.
"Not good! It's Shi Min's wolf rider! The third child was the first to recognize it.
"Captain Wolf? Where did they come from! Aren't the gates of Yecheng all closed! The second child asked.
"Your Highness! What to do? ”
Shi Jian looked carefully at the crowd, Shi Min was still fighting, and he did not die in the chaos. Although he was unwilling, the current situation was obviously beyond his expectations. He didn't know how many men and horses Shi Min had arranged, but with the forbidden army in the palace and the 5,000 patrol battalion outside, it was impossible to stop the wolf cavalry captain like a tiger and wolf.
"Withdraw!" Shi Jian gritted his teeth and said.
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know what the situation is outside, go out first, gather the patrol battalion in the city, and never let Shi Min escape from Yecheng!"
"Your Highness, since the wolf cavalry can enter the palace, it means that Yecheng has been broken, whether to withdraw from Yecheng and send someone to send a message to Wang Luan and ask him to return to escort!"
"It's good! Hurry up and send a message to Wang Luan immediately! Shi Jian commanded.
"Subordinates take orders!"
Taking advantage of the battle between the forbidden army and the wolf cavalry, Shi Jian escaped from the palace with his men and horses, and at this time the entire Yecheng was already in chaos, and chickens and dogs jumped.
At the last moment, the sudden appearance of the wolf rider saved Shi Min and the only remaining hundred or so people around him, but the battle was far from over. There are more than 10,000 people in the patrol battalion of Yecheng, and there are thousands of people in the forbidden army, although Shi Jian escaped from the palace, but at this point, the forbidden army will not surrender, and the patrol battalion is also under the command of Shi Jian, and the soldiers and horses of the Xihua Marquis Mansion are fighting to the death.
After a simple bandage, Shi Jian was not in a hurry to withdraw from Yecheng, because he had basically determined that within Yecheng, there were only three thousand wolf cavalry captains and some of Shi Min's subordinates, and the advantage was still on the side of Ning Wangfu.
At least that's what Shi Jian thinks.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid the forbidden army in the palace won't last long!" The subordinate reminded.
"The entire Yecheng is still under the control of this king, as long as Shi Min has no other reinforcements, the final victory will still be in our hands!" Shi Jian glanced back at his men and horses, and said: "Although the wolf cavalry captain is powerful, but this is Yecheng, not outside the fortress, and his cavalry can't play such a big role!" ”
"What does Your Highness mean?"
Shi Jian calmly commanded his subordinates: "Gather our shield soldiers and archers, and by the way, spearmen!" As long as you don't leave Yecheng, no matter how powerful the wolf cavalry captain is, it will be impossible to break through the shield array! ”
"The last general commands!"
It didn't take long for the forbidden army in the palace to be killed by the wolf cavalry, except for those who were killed, the rest of the people only fled in all directions, and the maidservants and eunuchs also became frightened birds, and the pigeons fled for their lives, and no one paid attention to it, Yongchang Pavilion had become a sea of fire.
After several hours of continuous fighting, Shi Min was exhausted, but he still stepped on his Zhulong horse and rushed out of the palace with the wolf rider.
"General, look!" Zhang Mufeng pointed to the distance and said.
Shi Min saw from a distance that the patrol battalion had formed a shield formation, and the archers had already aimed at them.
"General, the wolf cavalry captain is good at long-distance running, and field night battles, Yecheng is full of alleys, our cavalry can't use the formation at all, I'm afraid they won't be able to take advantage!" Zhu Song stepped forward and said to Shi Min.
Zhang Mufeng nodded and said: "Looking at their posture, Shi Jian is no stranger to arranging troops, general, you see, they obviously don't plan to retreat, they want to block us in Yecheng!" ”
Shi Min looked back at his men and horses, the wolf cavalry captain was slightly killed and wounded, but the elite was still there, and the strength did not have any effect. But Zhu Song and Zhang Mufeng's words were right, if they spent in this Yecheng to fight with Shi Jian's men and horses, the wolf cavalry captain would not be able to take much advantage. At that time, Li Mu lured the Huns into the depression in a similar way, so that his cavalry could not spread the formation, and used the infantry to form a formation, and the Huns did not dare to go south for more than ten years. Although Shi Min realized that the situation was not good, but at this moment, there were no soldiers and horses in his hands that could be mobilized, Shi Min only knew that Shi Jian's martial arts were extraordinary, but he did not expect that he was well versed in the way of arranging troops.
