The horses galloped all the way, and when they arrived at the south gate, the rest of the generals had not arrived, and there was only the Liang army at the south gate, and there was no enemy army. Yuanhang breathed a sigh of relief, stopped his horse and prepared to rest and wait for Sun Ke and the others to come and meet.

"Young master, fourth young grandmother......" Tang Ling hit his horse and followed, shouting on the horse, and stretched out his hand to Yilan behind Yuanhang.

Yuanhang hurriedly turned around, Yilan was still holding Yuanhang, but his head was already leaning weakly on his back, and blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Yilan, what's wrong with you, Yilan?" Yuanhang shouted loudly, and hurriedly shouted to Tang Ling: "Help her get off the horse." ”

"Master." Sixin looked carefully behind Tang Ling, and there was a sharp arrow behind Yilan, which was pierced straight into her back, and her little face turned pale with fright, so she hurriedly climbed off the horse and came over to help Yilan.

After the "Yilan ......" sailed off the horse, he saw Yilan being hit by an arrow behind him, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt on the ground, sat on the ground and picked up Yilan and called loudly.

"Four Young Grandmothers ......"

"Master...... Whining. ”

Yilan was shaken by the voyage and became aware of it, and slowly opened her eyes. It's just that his eyes are no longer focused, his face is pale and there is no blood, and he wants to smile at Yuanhang, but he only moves the corners of his mouth weakly.

"Go find Lang Zhong." Yuanhang's eyes were on fire, and he pushed Tang Ling away with one hand. Tang Ling sat down on the ground, got up with his hands and feet, and ran towards the city.

"Xianggong ......" Yilan called weakly, raised his left hand slightly, Yuanhang hurriedly held her hand, and said in a loud voice: "It's okay, it's okay Yilan, Langzhong is coming, hold on." ”

"Xianggong...... Leave me alone, ...... Walk. Yilan said, the corners of her mouth moved, and another stream of blood gushed out, flowing down the corners of her mouth.

"Nope." Yuanhang shed tears, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Yilan's mouth, shook his head and choked and said, "We said that we will not be separated, and we will be together forever." ”

Yilan smiled hard, nodded slightly, shook her head again, and said intermittently: "Xianggong has me in his heart...... Okay, don't think about Yilan ......" Before the words fell, he opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his body writhed in pain.

"No, Yilan, no......" Yuanhang hugged her, pressed his face to hers, and cried loudly.

Yilan tried to raise his right hand, wanting to touch Yuanhang, but he had no strength halfway through. He could only use his last strength in his ear and said, "Xianggong...... Take care, Yilan, go ......" After speaking, his head tilted, and his right hand slipped down.

"Yilan, Yilan ......" Yuanhang kept shaking Yilan's body, trying to wake her up, but to no avail, there was blood spilling out of Yilan's mouth, dyeing her snow-white dress red. Those big beautiful eyes are forever closed, and they will never be opened again.

"Ah......h

The rain is still falling, as if crying for Yilan's death. Yuanhang had no tears in his eyes, sat on the ground stupidly, lowered his head and stroked Yilan's face, and said with a wry smile: "Silly girl, why did you go?" How do you make me miss you, from now on, who can still talk to me about poetry, Yilan, wake up, you promised to give birth to a child for me. ”

The sound of horses' hooves came from the south street, and Liang Jun at the south gate blocked the voyage behind him and put it on guard. It was Sun Ke who led the troops over, and Liang Jun saw that it was his own army, so he separated the two sides and revealed the voyage.

Sun Ke stopped his horse, walked over and saw Yuanhang sitting on the ground, and said in a daze: "My lord, this ......"

Yuanhang glanced up at Sun Ke, looked behind him, and asked, "What about General Qin and General Gu?" ”

"My lord, the other two gates are also fighting and retreating, rushing here."

Yuanhang stretched out his hand behind Yilan, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, hugged Yilan and tried to stand up, and said to Sun Ke: "Prepare to set fire to the south gate, and withdraw from the city first." ”

"Yes, sir." Sun Ke stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "My lord, shall I go find a carriage?" ”

Yuanhang shook his head and said, "No, I'll hold her." ”

The Liang army that came from outside the gate gathered at the south gate, and the voyage did not dare to delay, and ordered people to open the door to break through.

There were not too many merchant troops outside the south gate, the merchant army only wanted to get Jiangzhou, so they deliberately left the south gate, Yuanhang and others broke out without much effort, Sun Ke led the army out of the city at the end, lit a fire at the south gate, and led the troops to catch up with the voyage.

Thirty miles away, there was no merchant army chasing after him, and the voyage ordered the whole army to rest in place. It was already dark, and after resting for a while, Yuanhang was worried about the attack of the merchant army, so he ordered to march overnight, and after walking for another thirty miles, he set up camp and rested.

In the marching camp, Yuanhang put Yilan on the bed, wiped the blood on her face little by little with a sweat towel, and watched Yilan lying motionless on the bed, Yuanhang's shoulders shrugged, he couldn't bear it anymore, and tears fell down crackling.

"Your Excellency." A voice sounded outside the camp, and it was Shadowless chasing after him.

Yuanhang raised his arm, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and said, "Come in." ”

The curtain opened, and Wuying's right arm wrapped around the green cloth, walked in, glanced at Yilan, and knelt on the ground.

Yuanhang looked back at him and was silent.

"My lord, my subordinates are useless, and I couldn't rescue the five young grandmothers......"

Yuanhang's body shook and asked in a trembling voice, "Wen'er...... What's wrong? ”

Wuying bowed his head and replied: "My subordinates are desperate to save each other, but there are many enemy troops, I was hit by an arrow in my right arm, and I wanted to find reinforcements and go back to rescue, but when I returned, I was gone." ”

Yuanhang asked, "Can you see that Wen'er is injured?" ”

Shadowless looked up and said, "I haven't seen it, I only saw a few enemy corpses." ”

Yuanhang's heart tightened again, Yilan was dead, Du Wen was gone, how did he protect them, and if Wanyue and others asked in the future, how should he answer them.

"What about Knife Purple and Meteor?" Yuanhang was worried about Dao Zi again.

Wuying shook his head and replied, "General Qin said that he didn't see them when he retreated. ”

Yuanhang smiled bitterly and said, "You go and rest, let me be quiet." ”

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Wuying didn't dare to say more, so he got up and retreated. Yuanhang walked back to the bedside and sat on the side to guard Yilan until dawn.

In the early morning of the second day, Sun Ke and others came to the tent of the voyage to report that the reinforcements of the Liang State had arrived, less than fifty miles away.

Yuanhang's face was expressionless, and he nodded in understanding. turned around and walked back to the tent, and said to himself to Yilan: "Yilan, the reinforcements are here, and the Xianggong will avenge you." After speaking, he covered Bai Dan for her, stared for a while, turned around and walked out of the tent, the whole army was on standby, and he led several generals to meet the reinforcements.

The army led by Situ Hao set off in the back hall, passed through Jingzhou, and mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 230,000 days and nights to rush to Jiangzhou, but it was still a step late.

Yuanhang waited outside the camp for a while, and Situ Hao led a number of generals over. When Yuanhang saw Situ Hao, he remembered Yilan, and he didn't know how to tell him about Yilan's death, so sadly, Yuanhang knelt down on his knees.

Situ Hao saw Yuanhang's disheveled clothes and haggard face, and knew that he had been fighting hard for a day. Seeing him kneeling, he thought it was to lose Jiangzhou, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped him up.

"Voyage, don't blame yourself, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, now that the army has arrived, we will recapture Jiangzhou." Situ Hao patted his beloved son-in-law on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Father-in-law......" Yuanhang's throat tightened, he couldn't speak, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Okay, the man doesn't flick if he has tears, let's go into the account." Situ Hao walked towards the big tent, and Yuanhang hurriedly took a step back to block his way, wanting to say, but he didn't know what to say.

Situ Hao was a little aware that something was wrong, with his understanding of the voyage, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, how could he lose a city, and he cried. Now there must be a reason for the pushback. He stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yuanhang was silent, thought for a moment, turned around and walked into the tent. Situ Hao glanced at Sun Ke and the others, and several generals lowered their heads and did not speak. Situ Hao followed with doubts.

Yuanhang ordered others to wait outside the tent, and he and Situ Hao entered the tent.

When Situ Hao entered the tent, he didn't notice Yilan who was covered by a white sheet on the bed, but just asked Yuanhang and said, "What happened?" ”

Yuanhang pounced, knelt in front of Situ Hao again, and said in a mournful voice: "Father-in-law, Yuanhang is sorry for you, I failed to protect Yilan. ”

Situ Hao's body trembled after hearing this, he stepped forward and grabbed Yuanhang's arms, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with Yilan?" ”

Yuanhang couldn't answer, and turned his head towards the bed. Situ Hao looked over with the voyage and saw a person lying on the bed, covered with a white sheet, obviously dead. Suddenly, there was an ominous sensation that made his hands tremble slightly.

Situ Hao let go of the voyage and slowly walked to the bed, his trembling hands slowly lifted the list, and a familiar face appeared in front of him, but it was no longer bloody, and it was as pale as the list on his body.

"Yilan...... Ilan. Situ Hao called softly, reaching out to caress his beloved daughter's face, wanting to wake her up and coquettish herself.

"Ah......h Situ Hao looked up to the sky and screamed, then clenched his fists, only to feel that his qi and blood were insufficient, his head was dizzy, his eyes were closed, and he fell backwards.

"Father-in-law." Yuanhang stretched out his hand to support Situ Hao's body, and hurriedly shouted outside the tent: "Come on, come on." ”

Sun Ke and Qin Chao ran in, and when they saw the marshal fainting, they ran up to the former one to help Yuanhang hold up his body, and the other reached out to the human acupoint and pressed it hard.

After a while, Situ Hao woke up from his coma, glanced at a few people around him, and tears of sadness came out of his eyes.

Yuanhang was beside him, wiped his tears and said: "Father-in-law, it's useless for me, you hit me, you hit me hard." Yuanhang really blamed himself from the heart, Yilan is Situ Hao's only daughter, married to himself as his wife, but now he is gone, how can he be worthy of him. When he came to the old man Situ, he didn't dare to go to see him. Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to open the bow left and right, and opened his mouth.

Situ Hao was heartbroken, one hand was on the ground, and the other hand was raised and placed on his forehead, and he choked up and said: "Yilan, Yilan, you went alone, how can I explain to your mother." ”

"Father-in-law......

Situ Hao stretched out his hand to stop Yuanhang from speaking, and he tried hard to stand up, but Sun Ke and Qin Chao hurriedly supported him.

Situ Hao stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and after letting out a long breath, he walked to the side of the bed and covered the list for Yilan, turned around and stared at the voyage, and said, "Put it aside in advance, state affairs are important." Let me ask you, what is the current situation in Jiangzhou? ”

Yuanhang also stood up, wiped away his tears, and replied: "Yesterday morning, the merchant army attacked the city, we held it for a day, and in the evening, the city was lost, and our army fought with the enemy in the city. ”

Situ Hao's face was solemn, and he asked, "How many troops do you still have?" ”

Yuanhang looked at Sun Ke, Sun Ke hugged his fists and replied: "Back to Marshal, there are still 40,000 soldiers, excluding the wounded, but no more than 30,000 can be fought." ”

Situ Hao nodded, pondered and said: "We must recapture Jiangzhou as soon as possible, if we wait for the enemy army to set up the city defense, it will be very disadvantageous to our army." ”

Yuanhang stepped forward and said: "When we withdrew from Jiangzhou, we burned the south gate of Jiangzhou, and the enemy army will not complete the repair in a short time. ”

"Oh?" Situ Hao was silent after hearing this, thought for a long time, turned to look at Yilan, and said a few words lightly: "The whole army will attack and recapture Jiangzhou." ”

"Yes." Sun Ke received the order, withdrew from the tent with the Qin Dynasty, and the army was ready to go.

There were only two of them left in the tent, Situ Hao became sad, sighed and asked, "How did Yilan die?" ”

Yuanhang bowed his head and replied: "Yilan can't ride a horse, when we break through, we will ride, the enemy will release arrows, and Yilan will be hit by arrows in the back." ”

"It's for you to block the arrow." Situ Hao snorted, walked to the bed again, and said to Yilan's corpse: "Yilan, you have a good rest and avenge your father." ”

"Father-in-law......

"Needless to say, let Yilan rest here first, and then take Jiangzhou." Situ Hao interrupted Yuantuan's words and continued: "The Qi State has sent troops, and Qi Liang will jointly attack the Shang State, and this time the Shang State will be destroyed. He said that he would not pay attention to the voyage, and turned and walked out of the tent.

Yuanhang looked back at him and went out, walked to the side of the bed and knelt down, and said, "Yilan, you wait for me, and Xianggong will go to avenge you." ”

In Jiangzhou City, the army of the Shang State searched for the soldiers of the Liang army in the city, and throughout the night, there were shouts of killing from time to time in various parts of the city. The marshal belatedly flew into the city at dawn the next day and began to prepare for the city defenses.

"Marshal, the enemy forces in the city have basically been cleared, but the south gate has been burned down." A general rode a horse beside Chi Fei and bowed sideways.

Chi Fei looked sideways, stopped beating the horse, and asked, "Why did the south gate burn down?" ”

"It was set on fire when the enemy retreated, and it will take several days to repair."

"Oh no, if the enemy comes to attack, we have no city to defend. Quickly go to camp outside the south gate and set up a formation, set up the bow and cart...... Chi Fei reacted, the enemy burned the south gate, and it must have left a convenient door for himself to come back from the attack. Before the words fell, on the side pavilion, a cold arrow with a strong wind rushed straight towards Chi Fei's left temple.
