Chapter 360: Fight Again
Liu Fa is happy to have a noble son, naturally the spring breeze is proud, needless to mention, but some people are happy and some are worried, just after Liu Fa pacified the South Prison with lightning speed, Dali finally felt some pressure, for no other reason, Liu Fa is too strong Long Sleepy Dive, how can it be trapped, according to Liu Fa's strength, pacify the southwest, just around the corner!
Southwest, Yangfu!
In the city lord's mansion, a person is drinking sullenly, and his heart is quite unpleasant, he has been in the southwest for a long time, although he has made some achievements and gained some gains, but compared to what he has lost, he simply does not need to mention it.
"Brother, why is there another person here who is drunk?"
Just when he was full of sorrow, a short figure walked in, none other than his brother. Dali Shizi glanced at his younger brother, smiled slightly, and then waved his hand again, motioning for him to sit down: "Why are you here?" ”
His younger brother glanced at the empty wine jug on the table, sighed slightly in his heart, and then smiled: "Brother, the weather is so good today, why don't you go out hunting, what do you think?" ”
"That's it, that's fine!"
Hearing his younger brother's suggestion, Dali Shizi also shook his spirits a little, then smiled loudly, patted his younger brother's shoulder, and strode out.
Because of the loss of Hongcheng first, and then the loss of the South Prison, it is the trip to Sanshui, which was also disrupted by Liu Fa, the king of Dali is already very dissatisfied with him, and there are brothers in the country who are dissatisfied with him, and now his position in Dali can be regarded as precarious, and in Yangfu, the army has been defeated repeatedly, where is there still the pride and ambition of the year, if it is not for him to subdue the Mu family, at this time he may not even be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince.
"Driving ......"
Left lead Huang, right Qingcang, the pomp of the prince of Dali is still indispensable, Yangfu was originally the foundation of the Cao family, and Cao Tianyu was a disciple of dogs and horses, the hunting place of Yangfu is naturally everything, today's accompaniment, as well as the Mu family, Mu Qingchen, he is also familiar with this Yangfu, so he is also familiar with the road, and the anti-guest mainly took the son of Dali to the hunting ground.
"Well, yes, the people of the Cao family will enjoy it, not bad!"
The prince of Dali rode on a horse, and today he also had some interest, and looked at this place under the mountain, a dense forest, surrounded by a small river to cut the water, as a natural protective zone. Walking into this forest along the stuffy stream, he gradually felt that he was heavily guarded, but after a moment's effort, Mu Qingchen had already seen the three teams of guards patrolling on horseback, all of them were fully armed and ready for battle!
By the side of the forest, a large camp had been set up, as if it were a march in the army, with a large tent of the Chinese army, a chain of barracks, and a large number of guards, and the size of the camp could accommodate at least thousands of people. Obviously, this is the son of the world, and the scene is naturally not small.
said that the Cao family would enjoy it, but he himself was not it, these days in Yangfu decadence, every day is singing and dancing, day after day, today it is easy to come out, Fang feels that his body is weak, and his bones are a little sore.
"Let's go, hunt!"
The prince of Dali shook the whip, and then there was a smile on his face, at this time the people behind him did not disperse, but followed behind the horse of the prince of Dali, because according to the convention, the first arrow that will be hunted must be shot by the prince of Dali himself!
Entering the forest, faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves around in the distance, there were already guards cavalry patrolling back and forth, and there were special riders holding lassoes and other equipment, driving back and forth the beasts raised in the forest, and driving some prey to the vicinity of the prince of Dali himself as much as possible.
This drive is naturally exquisite, and the prey must not be too big and too dangerous, nor too small or inconspicuous. Otherwise, you rashly drove a tiger to the world, and if you hurt the world, it would be a joke.
But if you only chase a few gray-haired free children, even if Your Majesty wins the hunt, a dignified prince only hunts a free child, and there is no glory.
Therefore, in this round, under the drive, I saw several elk jumping in the forest and came to the gap in the bushes far away from the prince of Dali, and several elk looked up at the people in the distance with some panic.
The prince of Dali took a deep breath and beckoned, and a servant next to him handed him a black longbow.
"Whew!"
He heard only a wail, an elk had been shot through the throat, he smirked, looked at the fallen elk, and enjoyed the praise of the attendants behind him.
He shot an arrow, but it was a good start, he cleared his throat, and the hoarse voice of Dali Shizi made a very short statement: "I will hunt today, as usual!" You have worked hard, all young talents, if there is a dazzling performance, I will not hesitate to reward! Go ahead! Show the courage of my Dali boy! ”
The young generals below, including his younger brother, had already been gearing up, and when they heard the prince say this, they all immediately replied, and they all responded violently, and they couldn't wait to immediately have wings on their backs, and immediately leap on their horses to perform well.
With a wave of his big hand, almost everyone rushed out, leaving only Mu Qingchen sitting quietly on the side. It seems to be waiting for the son of this life.
"General Mu, why don't you go?"
Dali Shizi smiled, shook the horsewhip lightly, and then walked to Mu Qingchen's side, Mu Qingchen smiled slightly, then looked at the sky, and said a little complicatedly: "My lord, the weather is just right today, but the last general is a little unhappy in his heart, so he doesn't have any hunting thoughts!" ”
Seeing Mu Qingchen's face, the prince of Dali seemed to know something, just nodded slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and then sighed again, and said in a deep voice: "What you are worried about is exactly what I am worried about!" ”
Mu Qingchen shook his head, picked up a small grass casually, and said with some melancholy: "Liu Fa is now like a bamboo, all the way north, no one can stop him, and now the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, and his attitude is not very clear, but Jingxiang's soldiers and horses are frequently mobilized, which is really difficult to sleep!" ”
When the prince of Dali heard Mu Qingchen talk about it, his relaxed mood also became heavy, just when they were silent, suddenly, a knight rushed over from outside the hunting ground, and saw a bright flag behind the knight, Mu Qingchen and the prince of Dali glanced at each other, their eyes were full of haze.
If it weren't for the emergency military report, it would definitely not appear here, Dali Shizi shook his whip, and then greeted him, and said coldly: "Say, what happened?" ”
"My lord, Liu Fa's army has sent troops to Pingnan, and now, half of the counties have fallen into the hands of Liu Fa!"
The knight jumped down from his horse, bothered to wipe the dust from his face, his face was full of grief and anxiety, his mouth was dry and cracked, and it was evident that he had not drunk water for a long time.
"What?"
Hearing this voice, Mu Qingchen's eyes darkened, and he almost fell over, you know, that Pingnan Mansion is the territory of his Mu family, he really didn't expect that Liu Fa would be so reluctant to attack Pingnan Mansion.
"It's so ruthless, it's so poisonous, it's really ...... Hum! ”
Mu Qingchen hit the ground with a punch, his face was full of haze, and he regretted it even more, when he saw Liu Fa being sandwiched between Dali and Nanjiao, he saw that it was precarious, so he had to find a way out for himself, but he didn't expect that he had taken the wrong road and was blind, Liu Fa pacified Nanjiao in an instant, and now he is even more threatening Pingnan, how can he not make him resentful.
"Okay, Qingchen, I haven't gone to find his trouble yet, I didn't expect him to provoke him first, it's really hateful, let's go home, think about it in the long run!"
While speaking, the prince of Dali no longer ignored the elk on the ground that had not yet died, nor the knight who was still kneeling on the ground, waved his horsewhip, and went straight to the city lord's mansion.
Pingnan Mansion, under the city, there are many swords and guns!
In the military tent of Liu Fazhong, all the generals gathered together, and when they heard that Liu Fa was going to attack Pingnan, the people's fighting spirit was excited, and they went out to ask for battle.
The most belligerent Qing Yunfei naturally did not fall behind, he strode to Liu Fa's handsome case, intervened in the salute, and said: My lord, the last general is willing to marshal 5,000 soldiers to attack the south gate of Pingnan! ”
Since the Chinese army camp of the Southern Prison Army is located in Nanying, the city defense of the south gate of Pingnan is also the strongest, and Qingyunfei should be regarded as the best candidate for the main attack. Liu Fa nodded, thought for a moment, took out an arrow, threw it to Qing Yunfei, and said: Qing Yunfei, I will give you 20,000 soldiers of the Southern Prison Army, mainly attacking the South Gate of Pingnan, be sure to break the city, only succeed, not fail, can you do it? Your Excellency, don't worry!
Qingyunfei grabbed the arrow tightly, for fear that Liu Fa would take it back again. "Ye Luo, Luo Xingtian!"
"The last general!" When Ye Luo and Luo Xingtian heard this, they hurriedly stepped out of the queue and bowed their hands.
Liu Fa nodded, glanced at the two of them, and then said loudly: You two led 40,000 soldiers of the Southern Prison Army to attack the North and South Cities, and when Qingyun flew through the city, you would like to see that you have entered the city, can you do it? ”
"If you can't, come and see you!" Ye Luo and Luo Xingtian agreed in unison.
"Good!" Liu Fa laughed, slapped the table, and said: Nangong is angry! ”
"The last general!" Nangong was angry.
Liu Fa ordered: You lead the soldiers of the Southern Prison Army to attack Pingnan Dongcheng, do not seek to break the city, only need to contain the enemy, whether it is a strong attack or a feint, you depend on the opportunity. Due to the fact that the officers and men of the Southern Prison Army marched all the way south and suffered heavy casualties, Liu Fa did not plan to use the Southern Prison Army as the main attacking force this time, as long as they could contain a part of the enemy army, which would also help the Southern Prison Army to recuperate and recover quickly.
However, his consideration made Nangong Zhi angry quite unhappy, and the latter intervened and said: My lord, when General Qing Yunfei and General Luo break the city in two ways, our Southern Prison Army will also attack the city, and it will never hold our army back!
Hearing him say this, Liu Fa smiled, looked at Nangong Suppressed Anger deeply, and finally nodded, and said, "Okay!" As you say, if you fail to break the city, you will be punished severely. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Nangong was angry and confidently took the military order.
In the end, Liu Fa said: "I led the remaining 40,000 soldiers of the Southern Prison Army to attack Xicheng. After speaking, he looked around at everyone and said with a faint smile: "Hopefully, I am not the last to enter the city......
Hearing this, Ye Luo, Nangong Zhifu, Qing Yunfei, Luo Xingtian and other generals all held back their strength in their hearts, and they all wanted to be the first to break the city.
Southwest Mansion, even if it does not belong to the imperial court, it should not be touched by foreign races, Liu Fan grinned at the corner of his mouth, looked at the Mu family army at the head of the city, full of contempt, and as soon as the arrow fell, the army had moved!
The four-way army arranged by Liu Fa began to assemble in front of Pingnan City. Looking to the south, the flag is unfurled, the soldiers are like a forest, there is a big flag with willow characters in the army, there is also a big flag with the words of the South Prison, the most striking thing is a military flag embroidered with willow characters, dancing with the wind, crackling. There is no need to look at people, just this big banner is enough to shock people's souls and make opponents frightened.
Now Liu Fa's name is known to everyone, and no one knows it, and his banner is a talisman. Looking south, the 40,000 Southern Prison Army lined up in battle, and saw the red tassels on the heads of the soldiers, a piece of red pressing, as if a layer of maple leaves had been spread outside Pingnan City.
The red tassel represents blood, the black armor represents the rigidity, and the red tassel and black armor can best interpret the style of the Southern Prison Army, iron-blooded, fierce, and unstoppable. Before the battle, the murderous aura of the soldiers of the Southern Prison Army had already suppressed the defenders on the head of the city.
The soldiers were high-spirited, full of energy and spirit. The people's eyes widened, and they struck their shields with their spears, and the muffled sound of roaring was incessant, and the sound of shouting and shouting reached into the sky. Looking to the west, it is the most powerful military and the most murderous Liu Fa, this time the 40,000 southern prison army is personally commanded by Liu Fan, the officers and soldiers, all of them have the spirit of 12 points, people put their waists straight, stand there, like nails, do not move, but as soon as a military order comes out, the whole army moves together, it can really be said that it is as quiet as Mount Tai, moving like a rabbit.
Liu Fa rode on a horse, standing at the front of the whole army, on its left and right, there was Han Ju as a protector, there were seven other people behind him, and there were Ye Luo, Qing Yunfei and other generals standing on the side.
Seeing this formation of the Southern Prison Army, there was no need to fight, and the Mu family army defending the city was already half cold. Mu En, who heard the news, lay on the head of the city and looked out, after looking, the frightened six gods had no owner, his first reaction was to find Mu Qingfeng first, but when he saw Mu Qingfeng, Mu En's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Mu Qingfeng is now both combative and lifeless, his face is full of haggard and sadness, Mu En sighed slightly in his heart, extremely bitter, since the barbarian invasion, the four Cao family in the southwest were wiped out, and the Ye family is also sunset, their Mu family is also helpless, they can only rely on Dali, and survive, at this time his eldest son is not there, the second son is almost the same as the walking dead, such a person, it is difficult to even take care of himself, let alone command the war.
At this moment, he also regretted it very much, he fought geese all day long, but he was pecked blind by the geese, he really regretted it, he knew this, he was like the Ye family, returned to the willow fell, how can there be the current result, now the embarrassment is that he can't descend, and he can't beat it, after all, there is no one to guard, and the eldest son is by the side of the prince of Dali, so when the eyebrows are burned, they can only wait for death!
Outside the West Side. Feeling that the time was almost up, Liu Fa waved his hand and called a guard to order him to step forward and make a final persuasion to the Mu family army in the city.
The guard agreed, urged the horse to come to the place in front of Pingnan City, and then reined in the war horse, and shouted at the head of the city: "Listen to the brothers of the Mu family in the city, my family has the virtue of a good life, after all, they are also the sons of the Han family, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to go out of the city and surrender, our army will never hurt your lives, but if you resist to the end, then you are a mantis arm as a car, and there is only a dead end." Brother Mu Jiajun, go out of the city and surrender! ”
With the persuasion of the guards to surrender, the Mu family army at the head of the city whispered, and the army's heart was shaken, but no one took the lead, even if people wanted to surrender, they didn't have the courage.
At this time, the general of the Mu family's army in charge of Xicheng shouted: "Don't listen to their rhetoric, no matter who it is, if you dare to surrender, I will not forgive!" ”
Hearing this, the Mu Jiajun, who was about to move, suddenly calmed down, and people looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads. They are not regular soldiers, let alone veteran soldiers, and they are very afraid of the generals above and dare not disobey military orders.
Seeing that there was no reply in Pingnan City for a long time, the guard shouted a few more times, then turned his horse back to his camp, and when he came to Liu Fa's approach, he bowed and said: My lord, the enemy army is stubborn and refuses to surrender! Hum! The corners of Liu Fan's mouth were raised, and he said with a sneer: "Heaven is evil, it is still violated, self-inflicted, and you can't live." Since the enemy army is looking for death, it is no wonder that our men are ruthless! ”
As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and shouted, "Beat the drums! Beat the drums! Drumming ......"
The herald conveyed Liu Fa's military orders one by one, and for a while, the drums in the southern prison army thundered and roared, first the drums in the west, then the drums in the north and south, and finally, the war drums in the east also beaten. Drum beating march, this is a common military order in the world. In the sound of war drums, the military formations of the Southern Prison on all sides began to press towards Pingnan City in unison.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
During the march of the army, the soldiers shouted rhythmically and loudly, which was not only to cheer up their own side, but also to deter the enemy psychologically. When the army approached the enemy's range, the shouting stopped, and the whole army charged.
The Southern Prison Army on all sides, with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops, poured towards Pingnan City like a tide from four directions, and the soldiers ran extremely fast, and the soil on the ground also rolled up so high, and the dust was flying, and the sound was terrifying.
Ah! Mu En at the head of the city was simply dumbfounded, and couldn't help but scream in his heart, facing so many wolf-like Southern Prison Army, how could he resist it?
When the Southern Prison Army had entered Pingnan City's normal firing range was more than half, the Mu Army's arrow shooting had just begun, but, even at such a close distance, the Mu Family's arrow shooting still seemed weak and weak, and there was no accuracy at all. The arrows of the Southern Prison Army from the bottom up were much more powerful than the other party, and the Mu family army at the head of the city was obviously unprepared, and was caught off guard by the sudden rain of arrows.
