readx;

Xue Liu rushed in front of King Yan first, and rushed towards the middle of the encirclement of the southern army in front of him with the word Yan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As Zhu Di expected, the southern army immediately gathered towards them, and instantly surrounded them like a wall, and there was no end in sight. Zhu Gaoxu led the army to attack from the left; How strong the human wall of the southern army is, Rao is King Yan's father and son are brave and fearless, and they can't break through half a step. What made Zhu Di even worse was that the southern army did not show loopholes from behind him as he expected, but it seemed to have guessed his intentions, and came up in all directions, and the more tightly surrounded.

Zhu Di looked up and saw two flags rising in the far encirclement, one Guo and one Ming; He knew that Guo Zi represented Guo Ying's people here, and his uncle had always been polite and polite, and he would definitely not kill him. However, who is under the Ming character, this is not necessarily, if it is Sheng Yong, he also does not have to worry; But if it is Qu Neng or Ping'an who collides, once these two are killed, although they know that the Son of Heaven will not be able to control the brave man with the sword in his hand, it is really difficult to say.

"Your Highness, hurry up and withdraw, I, Lao Qiu, will open the way for you, and no one will try to stop you!" Qiu Fu saw that he couldn't rush out, and said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di shook his head and asked him to continue to kill the enemy and stop talking nonsense.

Xue Liu was anxious: "Your Highness, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Hurry up and follow General Qiu, and your subordinates will cut off the queen for you! ”

Zhu Di was furious: "What do you mean, you want to fight for your two lives alone, and leave all the soldiers here and run away alone?" ”

He drew out the flying sun, split one of the Southern soldiers in half from the shoulders with a single sword, picked up the other, and threw it hard at the flooded Southern army in front.

He said sternly: "Listen, when you are alone, you have already made an oath to live and die with all the Yan soldiers!" Now are you going to be a treacherous villain? ”

"Your Highness!" Qiu Fu and Xue Liu were so anxious that they shed tears, and they were about to kneel down for Zhu Di. "Who are the soldiers for splashing blood on the battlefield? Everyone is willing to die for you, but they don't want to die with you; As long as you are safe, there is hope! Why don't you think about the warriors? ”

Zhu Di looked around, and his fighters were half as small as just now. He let out a long sigh and said:

"Silly boys, sometimes you can't retreat, you know? Call Gao Xue to me. ”

"Here I am, Father!" Zhu Gaoxu's face was covered with blood, and he struggled out of the encirclement of the Southern Army.

"Father, the three of us escort you to break through, it's definitely no problem!"

Zhu Di looked around; Xue Liu and Qiu Fu stood by their side, and together with a few Yan army infantrymen, they closely guarded their father and son. The surviving cavalry of the Yan Army were still rushing to kill in the encirclement, desperately trying to tear open a bloody hole so that their prince and his second highness could escape safely.

Zhu Di looked at his second son and said solemnly:

"Xu'er, you follow Qiu Fu and Xue Liu, and let them protect you to break through. Remember: no matter what happens, just flee back to Beiping and never look back. Tell your eldest brother that the food that his father has hoarded in Beiping over the years is enough for the soldiers and civilians in the whole city of Beiping to eat for ten years, so that he should not have any worries, lock the gate of Beiping wholeheartedly, recuperate, and ask the court to repay the blood debt. The three of you brothers should honor your mother well, and don't make trouble with each other. ”

"Father?!" Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Di looked at the black and oppressive enemy army in front of him, and smiled calmly: "I don't advance, the enemy doesn't retreat, it's just a battle." Qiu Fu, Xue Liu! You escort Xu'er to break through now, and no matter what happens, don't look back! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to react, King Yan roared angrily and rushed towards the heavy formation of the southern army.

The three of them were shocked, and were just about to pounce on the rescue, when suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, swept across the battlefield, but had no intention of stopping, the stronger the blow, and instantly evolved into a violent wind, sweeping and roaring over the entire Baigou River, turning the already dusty sky into a dark sky in an instant; The wind blew fiercely, breaking the banner of the generals standing high, sweeping away the long soldiers in everyone's hands, and knocking hundreds of thousands of horses to the ground; The wind spun violently, and it was like a mad rush, and for a moment no one dared to raise his head, and even lay on the ground and did not dare to move, but bowed his head and guarded his helmet stubbornly, lest the slightest mistake would be smashed by the stones and weapons that swept in the wind - it was no less powerful than artillery.

The wind blew for a long time. It took a long time for the people on the ground to raise their heads slightly to take a look. The wind is still violent; After the looting just now, the sand and dust have been blown clean, and the smoke of artillery fire has long since dissipated. The wind is strong and the sky is clear; Outside the sky in the west, the remnant sun is like blood.

The people whose souls had been blown away by the strong wind began to slowly get up from the ground, straighten their armor, and instinctively look around for their dropped weapons, but they could not find their consciousness for a while.

Shen Ruoyu stood up with a disgraced face, and as soon as he got on the horse, he looked up and saw King Yan standing in front of him, and his heart was shocked.

Zhu Di also saw him, was stunned for a moment, and clenched the Flying Sun Sword in his hand.

Shen Ruoyu panicked; He didn't know what he was supposed to do. He instinctively glanced back, but saw that on the high ground in the distance, the general Li Jinglong had just gotten up from the ground and was holding his helmet; Behind, the towering Li Zi banner has been blown down by the wind and is invisible.

Xue Liu, who was behind King Yan, also got up, and the first thing he did was to immediately lift the big silk that was blown down by the strong wind, and in the still strong long wind, he inserted it high into the blue sky, and the huge Xuan-colored swallow characters on the big silk were prominently reflected in the blood-colored brilliance of the remnant sun for half a day.

"King Yan doesn't fall, the sky will die, Li Jinglong-" The thin and dark Jiaodong soldier roared angrily.

On the far slope, the guards behind Li Jinglong were also trying their best to re-erect General Li's banner, but found that the flagpole had been broken and could not stand up again no matter what.

The wind fell suddenly, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Army still did not catch their breath from the horror of the dark storm, but they saw that the wind had swept the banner of General Li, and the great banner of King Yan was still as strong as ever, towering in the huge blood-colored sunset.

The soldiers of the Yan Army immediately felt the subtle changes in the situation, as if they had received a silent order, and immediately shouted in unison with Xue Liu:

"King Yan doesn't fall!! Heaven Dead Li Jinglong!! ”

Before General Li, who had just gotten up, could gain a firm foothold, he was startled by this earth-shattering shout. One of the guards beside him hurriedly helped him. General Li took a breath, and finally found his center of gravity, only to feel frightened, and was just about to get on the horse, but he ran back in a panic when he saw Shen Ruoxiao burning a fire.

"Lord Shen...... You're ......"

"Hurry up and save the camp! - Shen Ruo didn't have time to explain, just shouted such a sentence, and then swept past them like lightning and went straight to the southern army camp behind.

Li Jinglong looked back and suddenly felt that his knees were weak. The flames of the sky had risen in the camp; The long wind of hunting is still fierce; The fire borrowed the wind and quickly engulfed the entire camp of the Southern Army, and in an instant, it stretched for dozens of miles and was flooded into a sea of fire.

Zhu Gaoxu, who succeeded in arson, had already led his men to run out of the sea of fire in a panic, and rushed back to the battlefield, shouting excitedly and hoarsely:

"The camp of the Southern Army is on fire! Heaven is dead Li Jinglong! ――”

Immediately, all the soldiers of the Yan Army seemed to have been collectively infected with a demonic disease, and they raised their arms excitedly, and instantly increased their strength by a hundredfold, picked up all the weapons that they could grab around them, and frantically slashed at the terrified Southern Army soldiers.

If the breaking of the banner only brought them doubts, then at the moment, the fire in the camp completely destroyed all the faith and courage of the hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the Southern Army who were still full of pride and high morale just now. Suddenly, the battlefield with a huge disparity in strength became a hell for the originally overwhelmingly dominant Southern Army: the soldiers of the Southern Army, who had completely collapsed in an instant, threw away their weapons, turned around and scattered in all directions, allowing the Yan soldiers, who were far less than half of their own people, to wantonly kill, but they had no will to resist, just fled lifelessly, and were soon slaughtered by the Yan Army that turned defeat into victory.

A sudden and strange gale rewrote history in a snap of a finger. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, saw that his army, which was about to be wiped out, suddenly had a complete advantage, and the situation on the battlefield had changed completely upside down, and his excitement was better than that of all the Yan soldiers; However, King Yan's city government would not let the excitement of emotions miss the momentary fighter, and immediately ordered Zhu Gaoxu to run to the camp in the rear of the southern army to ride the wind and set fire to the fire at a speed faster than lightning. Thus, accident becomes necessity; The opportunity brought by the gale was actually generously and equally given to both parties at the same time; However, only the persevering and scheming Yan King Zhu Di is worthy of the generosity of providence and the favor of history.

These, whether they were Shen Ruoxiao, the soldiers of the warring parties, or King Yan himself, had no time to realize it at that time. The southern army is trying to flee for their lives, and the Yan army is frantically chasing and killing. Shen Ruoyu took Gao Wei, an old scholar rescued from the camp, on the back of the second-rate son, and took Zhong Kexi, who came over regardless of life or death, and the ten guards, and ran south with the army headlessly. All the people are fleeing, and no one knows where they are going; But the Yan army was in the north, and the imperial court was in the south; As long as the general direction is found, on the endless northern plains, there is no need for any map, and running south with their eyes closed is their way out now.

The fleeing Southern Army was rapidly losing at twice the speed at which it had killed and wounded the enemy before, and tens of thousands of soldiers were smashed like dust and mustard under the butcher's knife of the Yan army's frenzied revenge. Even a strong general like Ping An didn't dare to turn back, so he could only lead his men and horses to run desperately to the imaginary safety in a daze, just like others. Qu Neng, who fell from his horse, could not catch up with the large army and gradually fell behind; Relying on a tiger courage and a good martial arts, he was still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and he slashed many Yan cavalry who were chasing after him. Soon, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, rushed up. This time, Qu Neng saw it clearly, and he didn't dare to stab Zhu Di directly, so he pulled out the long knife behind him and cut at the leg of King Yan's horse, but unexpectedly, the horses equipped by the Yan army were all war horses that King Yan had traded privately with the imperial court and the Hu people in the north. Qu Neng, who fell to the ground, was still struggling to hold his steel lance, Zhu Di had already drawn out the Flying Sun Long Sword, and Thunderbolt slashed off half of Qu Neng's head with a sword. Beside him, Qu Neng's son was fighting side by side with his father, and when he saw his father killed, his angry son swung his knife and pounced on King Yan, wanting to die with King Yan, but was cut in two by Xue Liu, who was following the horse.

Up and down the southern army, no one knew that Qu Neng's father and son had been buried in the chaos at this time; No one knows how many of their brothers and comrades have died, how many are dying, and how many are about to die. As long as it is not oneself - only this one thought remains, and under its inspiration, it is inevitable that a thousand miles will be lost.
