"Brother! All the people are together! I didn't think we were really in! He Yu tried to keep his voice low, but he still seemed extremely excited.

"Yes, eleven years ago, when I led my troops to attack the Chen State, there were 400 people, and today it is still 400 people. It's just that this time, the former comrade-in-arms has become an enemy......" Zhang Xun sighed, and he didn't have time to sigh more, he immediately organized his soldiers and prepared to secretly advance in the direction of the city gate.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps ahead, and then a large group of people appeared in front of them, sealing the entire street. Bright fires also lit on the houses on both sides, and two rows of archers leaned out, pulled their bowstrings and aimed them at Zhang Xun and the others.

"Oops! We are in ambush! He Yu hurriedly drew his sword and blocked it in front of Zhang Xun.

Four hundred men were besieged on cramped street corners, leaving only a narrow tunnel behind them to escape. Seeing that there was no way to survive, Zhang Xun regretted it, and he blamed himself in his heart, he really shouldn't be so blind. After all, Ji Zheng knew that he had used this trick, and how similar the situation was to eleven years ago this time, with Ji Zheng's understanding of him, it was really normal to take precautions against this trick.

However, the matter has come to this point, he must come forward, only to see Zhang Xun put aside Heyu, stepped forward and asked, "Where is Ji Zheng?!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a person from the Vietnamese army walked out.

The fire was dazzling, Zhang Xun couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, and could only see from the outline that the man was carrying a pair of double knives on his back.

That person was Qingmen, Qingmen stepped forward, saluted Zhang Xun respectfully, and said, "General Zhang! I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Zhang Xun sneered: "What about Ji Zheng? Didn't wait for me? ”

"The general can't bear to see his brothers killing each other, so he ordered him to come down to greet the general."

"Haha, I can't bear to see my brothers kill each other, did he hesitate for a moment when he killed his brother?"

Qingmen no longer answered, but saluted again: "The general has an order, please General Zhang is captured, if General Zhang has a heart, the general is willing to regain the old relationship with the general and work together with Mingjun." ”

Zhang Xun smiled contemptuously, he glanced back at the brothers behind him, and then said to Qingmen: "There is no mercy between me and Ji Zheng, only you live and die. As long as I don't die for a day, the balance between us will not be settled! ”

"General Zhang, you have no way to retreat, and resisting is just a senseless death, please also ask General Zhang to recognize the situation and not want to kill in vain."

"Hehe, it's useless to talk too much, come on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xun suddenly pulled out a crossbow from his waist and turned around to shoot at an archer on the roof next to him. Before the archer could react, he fell from the roof. Immediately afterwards, the dead soldiers of Wu Guo shot at the roof one after another, and the archers on the roof immediately returned fire, and there were hundreds of casualties in an instant.

Then, Qingmen led his troops to kill, and Yu also waved his sword to greet him, and the two sides fought fiercely.

He Yu and Qingmen fought more than ten hands, and immediately realized that the other party's kung fu was far above him, and He Yu knew in his heart that if he wanted to defeat this person, it would be difficult to reach the sky. Moreover, there are only 400 people on his side, but the opponent's troops are endless, and all he can do at the moment is to cover Zhang Xun's retreat to the tunnel.

He Yu took advantage of the chaos to grab a Vietnamese soldier, pushed hard at Qingmen, and then covered Zhang Xun and ran back, "Brother! Evacuate! ”

Zhang Xun nodded, and then retreated to the tunnel entrance under the cover of the brothers. Qingmen saw that Zhang Xun was about to flee, and immediately chased forward, but Wu Bing desperately blocked in front of Qingmen, Qingmen was furious, and his murderous intent suddenly rose, only to see him with two knives out horizontally, slashing left and right as if entering a no-man's land, and killing countless people in an instant.

Zhang Xun hurriedly jumped into the tunnel and fled out in a hurry.

He Yu guarded the entrance of the cave, raised his arms and shouted: "Quick! Evacuate! ”

However, the Wu soldiers were unmoved, and no one had any intention of retreating. Seeing that there are more and more Vietnamese soldiers, and the Wu soldiers have already been killed and wounded. At this moment, a centurion grabbed Kazuyu and pushed him into the hole. He Yugang stood firm in the cave and turned around to pull the centurion back, but saw that the centurion was holding on to the entrance of the cave, and his chest was full of holes.

He Yu was resentful, but he could only quickly withdraw from the tunnel.

The battle was soon over, and the narrow alleys were in shambles, blood, and wailing. The Vietnamese soldiers immediately cleaned up the battlefield, and when the Vietnamese soldiers cleared the tunnel, Zhang Xun and He Yu had already disappeared without a trace.

At this time, a person came from the back street, and Qingmen immediately stepped forward to salute, "Report to the general, his subordinates were derelict in their duties and failed to capture Zhang Xun." ”

Ji Zheng didn't say anything, just stepped on the corpses all over the ground and came to the big vat, and coldly ordered: "Immediately gather troops to go out of the city to surround the Wu army camp, no one is allowed to take the initiative to attack without my order." Qingmen, you lead 500 people to maneuver to prevent the Wu army from breaking through! ”

"Whoa!"

"In addition, all the wounded of the Wu army here will be executed, not a single one will be left, and this place will be cleaned up before dawn."

"Whoa!"

Zhang Xun and He Yu had just fled to the camp, and before the other officers and soldiers could figure out the situation, Zhang Xun immediately ordered: "All officers and soldiers obey the order, and the whole army will retreat immediately!" ”

However, before the Wu army could withdraw from the camp, they saw that the gate of Huiji City was wide open, and 3,000 Yue soldiers poured out of the city, and the remaining Wu soldiers were surrounded in an instant.

Zhang Xun hurriedly organized troops to break through, but the Vietnamese army was strictly defended, and even a mobile team could always appear in time where Zhang Xun tried to break through.

After trying all night, the Wu army was never able to break out of the encirclement. In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright, and the Wu army was hungry and poor, and there was no way to survive.

Zhang Xun saw that the Vietnamese army was besieging but not attacking, and knew in his heart that Ji Zheng was carrying out the final attrition. Therefore, Zhang Xun ordered the soldiers to retreat to the heart of the city, take turns to rest, and prepare to launch a final breakthrough in the evening.

Soon, a day passed, and night fell again, Zhang Xun's soldiers ate the last rations, and took advantage of the night to launch a final breakthrough to the periphery. However, what awaited them was a tighter defensive line, and the breakthrough was repeatedly blocked, and the Wu army suffered heavy casualties.

Ji Zheng stood on the city wall, looking at the Wu soldiers who were desperately breaking through below, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

Qingmen pointed to the encirclement and said, "General, there are less than a thousand Wu soldiers left, and it is only a matter of time before they are annihilated. ”

"Hmm." Ji Zheng couldn't help but yawn.

Qingmen saluted and said, "General, you haven't slept for two nights in a row. Please go back and rest, there is no suspense in the next battle. ”

Ji Zheng didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and then turned around and walked towards the city.

At this time, the general's mansion.

Frost was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, she grabbed the butler's sleeve and asked in a panic, "Butler, what's going on outside?" Were the Wu people defeated? ”

"Princess, I just asked people to go and see it, saying that when it was dark, the people of Wu broke through again, but our general was wise and powerful, and trapped them to death, as long as the encirclement was blocked, not a single Wu soldier could escape!"

"That'...... Do they mean to surrender?! ”

"I don't know, but they'd better not surrender. Hum! The people of Wu deserve to die! ”

Frost Tu clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, her heart fluttering, she closed her eyes, praying that Zhang Xun would be safe. Restlessness filled her heart, she pondered hard, but she couldn't think of any way to help Zhang Xun, and finally all the troubles turned into weak tears, rolling out of her eyes.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the house, and the butler hurriedly greeted him and said, "General, you are back!" ”

Frost didn't want to see Ji Zheng, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears and turned around and walked towards the room. Pushing open the door, Ina was gently shaking the child in her arms, humming a beautiful tune in her mouth, and the child had fallen asleep peacefully.

"Sister."

"Well, give me the baby, you can rest for a while." Frost walked up to Ina and took the child.

Ina saw that Frost's eyes were red, so she asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Ji Zheng appeared outside the door.

"General!" Ina excitedly stepped forward to greet her.

Shuang Di didn't look back at Ji Zheng at all, but just took care of the child.

Ji Zheng didn't say anything, he glanced at Ina and turned to leave.

Ina understood and prepared to go back to her room to sleep with Ji Zheng. Before going out, she picked up the mandarin duck embroidered pillow she had just made and asked Shuang Tu to say goodbye: "Sister, what ...... Then I'm gone......"

"Hmm...... Go ahead. Frost nodded gloomily.

"Sister...... Goodnight...... With that, Ina walked out the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Frost shouting, "Wait a minute! ”

"Sister? What's the matter? ”

Frost hurriedly opened the cabinet and rummaged through it for a while before finding a small wooden box, which she stuffed into Ina's hand, "This is a piece of spice, when you go back later, you will light this up." ”

Ina took the wooden box, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It smells so good! But what is the use of this spice? ”

"Well, this incense is called snake thorn incense, light it and ......" Frost suddenly stopped, and couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth.

"What can be done?" Ina's innocent eyes widened and she looked at Frost with curiosity.

"It's okay to ......" Frost took a deep breath and said ruthlessly, "It can help the fun, if you can conceive the general's child, won't your matter be a matter of course?" ”

"Sister......" Ina grabbed Frost's hand excitedly, "Sister, don't you really dislike your sister?" ”

Frost gently squeezed Ina's head, and then hugged her into her arms, "Sister will make up for this." ”

Although Ina had no idea what Frosty was talking about, she was still very moved, and she reached out and held Frosty tightly in her arms.

The night passed quickly, and the sky was about to dawn, and Qingmen was staring at the battle from the city walls. The Wu army had no chance of breaking through the siege at all, and the remaining more than 800 people were curled up in a pitiful small circle, waiting for their final demise.

Suddenly, an announcement came from the castle tower: "The princess has arrived!" ”

Qingmen hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and saluted: "The minister didn't know that Her Royal Highness the princess had arrived, and she missed the welcome." ”

"Immediately call the generals, I have an order to convey." Frost didn't say anything, but held the city wall with both hands, looking anxiously down the city.

Qingmen didn't know why, but he didn't dare to disobey. Soon, Qingmen gathered all the generals in front of Frost. When Shuang Tu saw that all the generals had arrived, he took out a talisman from his bosom, put it in front of Qingmen and shouted: "The general's soldiers are here, my father ordered me to come and give the order for the general, and the whole army will immediately withdraw to the city!" ”

Qingmen was startled and immediately looked up, although the light was not very bright, he recognized at a glance that what Shuang Tu was holding in his hand was Ji Zheng's Commander Talisman.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the Wu soldiers have nowhere to escape, and now they only need to besiege for a period of time, and the Wu soldiers will inevitably disperse. If the troops are withdrawn at this time, will it not be a return to the mountain? I don't know what the general's order means? Or did the general not mean this? It's the princess you ......."

Qingmen hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Shuang Di's sharp voice, only to see her hold up the talisman high, and scolded: "The general has his own intentions, the commander of the army is here, and this princess was ordered by her father to personally pass the order on behalf of her husband, do you dare to question it?!" ”

Qingmen hurriedly saluted, "Don't dare!" It's just that...... It's just that where is the general now? Why not come and give the order in person? ”

"The general was summoned to the palace overnight by his father to discuss major diplomatic matters. This matter is confidential and cannot be disclosed to you, but the life and death of the generals of Wu under the city is the key to the success or failure of foreign diplomatic affairs. At that time, who of you can afford this responsibility?! ”

The generals suddenly panicked, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

At this moment, the Wu army once again launched a suicidal assault on the periphery, and the Vietnamese army held the encirclement and killed the Wu soldiers who broke through one by one.

Seeing this situation, all the generals went to the city wall to check, for fear that General Wu would unfortunately die at the hands of his own soldiers.

Shuang Di was also flustered, and reprimanded sharply: "Qingmen! Without further ado! If you don't withdraw your troops, you will delay the big event, and I will let my father ask you! ”

"Princess...... Minister...... Ministers or ......"

Frost interrupted Qingmen again, pointing at the other generals and scolding, "You are the same! If Wu will die, you will all be buried with him! ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately panicked and hurriedly persuaded Qingmen to withdraw their troops.

However, Qingmen was stubborn and resolutely refused to agree to withdraw his troops. In the end, Qingmen simply sat down on the ground, not listening, not moving, and not speaking.

Seeing that Wu Bing was dying more and more, a general was anxious, pointed at Qingmen and scolded: "You are just the adjutant of the general, you are only responsible for passing orders and not directly commanding the troops, and you are not responsible for any problems!" We're not the same! If my soldiers kill General Wu, Lao Tzu will have to be buried with him! If you agree or not, Lao Tzu will withdraw his subordinates now! ”

"That's it! It is! Lao Tzu is not willing to win the battle and be executed! ”

When the other generals heard this, they also responded.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Qingmen had to immediately go down to the city, stepped on a horse and galloped towards the General's Mansion.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Frost once again held aloft the talisman and shouted: "Withdraw the troops quickly!" ”

"Whoa!"

All the generals responded in unison.
