At this moment, the empress was in an unprecedentedly nervous mood.

The battle situation in the city is geometric, she has no idea, whether she can evacuate safely with the Song army and escape from the pursuit of the Yan army, she still has no way of knowing.

The only thing she knows is that the temporary evacuation, the people in Kaifeng City, and all the civil and military generals, this time I am afraid that they will all fall into the hands of the Yan army.

The future is long, the danger is unpredictable, escape from Kaifeng, she has the luck to come back in her lifetime.

For a while, Lin Shuying looked very sad, and in the hurry, he turned his head to look at the towering Kaifeng City in the north.

For thousands of years, Kaifeng City changed hands in the heyday of the Song Kingdom.

Helplessness, humiliation, grief and indignation involuntarily welled up in my heart.

Song Qi rushed to sweat, sweating like rain, and unintentionally, seeing the empress's expression, he was also very emotional.

However, he knew that the Yan army was always pursuing, and at this moment, it was not the time to express his feelings.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, across the Yanghe River, the last general will personally cut off the pontoon bridge and block the Yan army on the north bank." Song Qi panted and said, at the critical moment, he knew that by escaping to the south of Heyang Bridge, Song Jun could be regarded as escaping death and being safe for the time being.

It is only temporarily safe, if the Yan army is determined to pursue, end the battle of Kaifeng City, and rebuild the pontoon bridge, at most one day, the Yan army will definitely continue to move south, and at that time, the Song army will continue to flee to.

When the Yan army crossed the south of the Heyang Bridge and broke into the territory of Heyang City, they were still in a dangerous situation, so they could only continue to hurry south and stay away from the Yan army.

The empress stopped talking, and Song Qi didn't say anything, and both sides consciously conserved their physical strength.

The war horse was killed, the body was weak, and the future was confused, such a tired army, an embarrassed army, while advancing, there were bursts of panting, following the empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye, like fleeing in the southeast direction.

Fortunately, Heyang City is not far from Kaifeng, only more than 20 miles, because of its proximity to the imperial capital, the city is tall, the city is prosperous, there is enough grain storage, water support.

More importantly, the advantage of Heyang City lies in the Heyang Bridge in the north, and the wide stone rain battle Heyang Bridge forms a natural barrier in the north of Heyang City.

Therefore, the empress's words were very encouraging to the exhausted, but eager to steal Song Jun.

Even though the rapid march and the serious physical consumption made the Song army very uncomfortable, vomiting, fainting, and even sudden death, the Song army that was able to hold on was not only still persevering, but also going all out to swing the fastest.

For a while, the ranks of the Song army gradually diverged, and the soldiers who could hold out in front still followed the empress, Song Qi, and Jian Ye, gritting their teeth and insisting. The rear was seriously overdrawn and wanted to insist on evacuating, but the army was weak and gradually differentiated from the rear of the army.

There are soldiers sitting on the ground gasping for breath, and there are also soldiers lying on the ground, recuperating and recovering their bodies, as if they are unwilling to give up.

At the front of the team, Mingyue supported Lin Shuying and struggled to move forward, even though Mingyue's own situation was very bad, but she still did her best to protect the empress, support her, and speed up the pace.

Otherwise, if it weren't for Mingyue's assistance, the empress would be physically weak and would not be able to move forward side by side with Bing Yong.

It's just that Mingyue is in a very bad situation, her breath is unstable, her face is pale, and her eyes are listless.

The empress noticed Mingyue's situation, and was very emotional, and couldn't help but secretly help Mingyue up, and the two supported each other and staggered forward.

The Song army in the rear was panting, sweating, and the advance gradually slowed down, and the empress immediately ordered: "Discard all the armor on your body, carry knives and bows, insist on moving forward, go south and cross the Heyang Bridge, and the whole army is completely safe."

"Your Majesty, it is far away from Heyang Bridge, many soldiers, they will definitely not be able to hold on, if you want to bring the Song army to the south of Heyang Bridge safely, the chance is slim, the last general will protect Your Majesty, and flee to it quickly." Song Qi noticed the situation of the Song army on all sides, and whispered to Lin Shuying.

At least 10,000 Song troops in the rear have broken away from the army and are left behind on the road from Kaifeng to Heyang Bridge.

Around them, the advance of the Song army is also slowing down, and it is unknown how many of them are brave and able to hold on and go to the south.

Therefore, at the beginning, he took Song Jun to escape to the plan, but at this moment, Song Jun thought that he had not thought it through before.

However, all the Yan soldiers who were moving forward, quickly untied their armor and threw them on the ground, only to feel that their bodies were suddenly much lighter.

Although he was sleepy, he heard the empress's orders, and the whole army could only insist on a rapid march.

Gradually, the empress, the number of soldiers around Song Qi decreased sharply, and the Song army could not escape the longer the line, and the more exhausted they were, they couldn't drag their pace forward.

However, at this time, a small number of cavalry traces suddenly appeared in the south, and the empress was galloping, Song Qi, Jian Ye couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, in the direction of Heyang City, why did there be cavalry.

In the battle of Kaifeng City, the Yan army surrounded three and missing one, deliberately leaving the south gate, could it be that there were ambushes hidden near the south gate?

If there are cavalry in front of them, they may be in danger of their lives.

But the empress, Song Qi, and Jian Ye didn't understand why there were only more than 100 cavalry in front, and if the Yan army left ambush soldiers, it should be tens of thousands, so it completely blocked the way for the Song army to escape. Now, more than 100 cavalry are approaching, does Lin Feng really think that the Song army has lost its combat power, and with more than 100 Yan cavalry, it can stop more than 100,000 Song troops?

The deserters of the Song army did not stop the pace, the whole army cheered up, and still moved forward quickly, if the cavalry came from the south, it was Emperor Yan who stayed near Heyang City in advance to ambush the soldiers, today, no matter how much they paid, they would also kill each other and forcibly go south.

However, the two sides continued to get closer, the empress, Song Qi, and Jian Ye gradually appeared, and the cavalry came from the south gate, all wearing the armor of the Song army, which seemed to be the Song army.

In addition to being overjoyed, the three of them and the Song army deserted, but they still didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear of stealing the beams and changing the pillars, and deliberately pretending to be the Song army, but in fact, they wanted to secretly capture the empress.

At this time, Song Qi couldn't help but draw his sword and ordered the three armies around him: "The whole army cheers up, be vigilant against the southern cavalry, if it is a Yan cavalry, immediately pick up the crossbow and shoot it, and protect the emperor to continue to go south."

"Yes!"

The nearby Song army, secretly accepting Song Qi's order, rushed to the gallop, despite the fatigue, still struggled to pick up the crossbow, vigilantly looking at the cavalry coming to the south gate.

At this time, the general of the southern cavalry waved his sword and shouted wildly: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, Hugh wants to shoot, and the last general is Zhang Shide, the defender of Nanyang City."

"The defender of Heyang City, Zhang Shide?"

Hearing the sound, during the rapid journey, the empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye, and all the Song soldiers couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Zhang Shide's words.

They really didn't expect that at the critical moment, Zhang Shide would lead the troops to come to the rescue.

The cavalry in the south was not a Yan cavalry, but on the contrary, the Song State defended the frontier, so things suddenly took a big turn.

Zhang Shide rode his horse closer, quickly dismounted, rode lightly beside him, and hurriedly jumped off the war horse, knelt down on the ground and said: "The last general Zhang Shide knocked to see Your Majesty, and the last general came to eat it, hoping that Your Majesty will suffer."

"Get up!" The empress waved her hand and said softly, "Zhang Shide, why did you get up to save the driver?" You expected that I and the King of Song would lead the troops out of Kaifeng and go to Heyang City."

Zhang Shide got up and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the last general will be stationed in Heyang City, always send secret agents, pay attention to the Kaifeng City moves, hear that the Yan army is attacking the city, and immediately continue to fight horses in Heyang City, hoping to assist Your Majesty and resist the Yan Army, but unfortunately the war horses are lacking, and the army will move forward near the Heyang Bridge, and the last general will see the traces of the Song army in the north, guessing that His Majesty will lead the army out of the city, so he led a small number of cavalry in advance and jumped over the Heyang Bridge to come to the rescue."

Hearing this, the empress couldn't help but sigh and praised: "General Zhang is really a loyal minister of the Song State and a pillar of the country."

"As a courtier of the Song State, the last general failed to resolve the crisis of Kaifeng City, ensure the safety of our emperor, and be the pillar of the country, I dare not be ashamed." Zhang Shide saluted, said ashamedly, and immediately, said coldly to the cavalry beside him: "You give up the war horse to Your Majesty and the prince, Lord Jane, Miss Mingyue, and immediately protect Your Majesty to move to the south of Heyang Bridge."

"Yes!" The guards quickly brought the war horses and sent them to the empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye, Mingyue, and a few middle and senior generals in the army to assist the other party on the horse.

The empress boarded the war horse and turned her head to look at the north gate, watching the traces of the Yan army.

At this time, the south gate still had not seen the trace of the Yan army, and the empress couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and shouted: "The whole army is going south quickly, and while the Yan army has not yet appeared, go south with me."

There is a war horse under the crotch, and the empress's mind is much easier, so she can save her physical strength and go to the south of Heyang Bridge quickly, turning the danger into a disaster.

"The whole army galloped south, fast, fast, fast." Song Qi shouted loudly, grabbed the war knife, and protected the empress.

For a moment, the Song army marched forward quickly.

"Kill, capture the empress alive, kill Song Qi, Jian Ye."

"Kill, capture the empress alive, kill Song Qi, Jian Ye."

"Kill, capture the empress alive, kill Song Qi, Jian Ye."

The Song army had just moved forward, and there was no trace of Yan cavalry at the south gate, but there was a sound of Yan army shouting and killing from the door.

Suddenly, the empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye, and Zhang Shide were all terrified and surprised.

Yan Qi, Yan Qi finally caught up.

Sou couldn't help but turn his head to look north, at this time, there were sporadic swallow horses rushing out of the south gate, gradually, the south gate seemed to be a flood rushing out, and a large number of swallow horses fought outside the south gate.

Looking at it, the empress was extremely surprised, did not dare to hesitate at all, ignored the Song army on all sides, and hurriedly went south.

The distance between the two sides is only seven or eight miles, and now, Yan Qi rushed out and came straight to them, if he didn't go south quickly and went to Heyang Bridge for dozens of miles, how could he escape Yan Cai's desperate pursuit.

"The whole army will quickly retreat south." Song Qi snorted coldly and rode forward.

Yan Jun kept saying that he and Jian Ye wanted to kill him, this time, if he was not captured by Zhan Yan Jun, he and Jian Ye were estimated to be in a catastrophe, and it was not impossible to be killed on the spot by Yan Qi.

Lin Feng rode his horse and rushed out of the south gate, and saw the weak Song army, unconsciously moving forward seven or eight miles, far away from the south gate.

Looking at the opposite direction and fleeing to the southeast of Kaifeng City, he couldn't help but guess the empress's intentions, and immediately said to Cao Aman and Luo Da: "Avoid the Song army in the rear, immediately go straight to the southeast, go to Heyang Bridge, and strive to block the empress."
