It is much easier to fight Qingyang than to defend Qingyang, the moat was filled to death, the four gates were all scrapped, and the arrow battlements at the head of the city were also destroyed. i

And the key to making the war so smooth is ...... Before the army attacked the city, Song Yang stretched out his hand and pointed to Yanziping, and shouted to his soldiers: "The fire is still there!" Before it is extinguished, I want to celebrate you with wine in the city!

Qingyang and Fengyi are only three days apart, and the billowing smoke from the Yanziping fire soars into the sky, which is clearly visible in Qingyang City, and all the fans in the city know what happened, even if the chief can't hide it.

The marshal was burned to the ground, and the magnificent army was gone. This blow was so heavy on the soldiers, their morale was gone, everyone was terrified, and they had completely lost their numerical advantage, how could they resist the crazy revenge of the Nanli people.

It only took two days for the Tibetan defenders to rout, Song Yang regained Qingyang, which had been extinguished twice The red beacon smoke was re-ignited, and the red smoke stood like a pillar on the top of the sky, echoing the smoke rising from the fiefdom. The last big city in Nanli's western Xinjiang, the last position of the Hongbo Mansion of the King of Zhenxi, finally returned to the hands of the Nanli people, not only that, but it also became a turning point from defense to offense, and the place where the battle to drive out Fangou was launched.

Including the fire of Yanziping, a series of bitter battles around Qingyang finally became the most glorious victory in the history of Nanli since the founding of the country, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out here, and the inconspicuous small country of Middle-earth raised a fluttering slap, and in the incredible eyes of everyone, the fangs of the fierce mastiff of the plateau were slapped hard.

With the great loss of Tibet's vitality, the balance of Middle-earth has been completely broken. A year ago, just a year ago, who could have believed that Nanli, the weakest small country, had become the biggest promoter of the arrival of the troubled times in Middle-earth......

Qingyang has long been turned into a scorched earth, but the former city that was burned down by Fanzi has now been given a new meaning by Song Yang, turning into a landmark, a symbol, and a totem for Nanli to turn things around.

The army did not delay in Qingyang for too long, and after a while, it continued to wave westward, 'it is advisable to chase the poor man with the remaining bravery', the truth that applies to the past life, this life, eternity, and the future, five days later, the huge blade in Song Yang's hand pointed at the Fanzi Wang Banner at the head of the Tang Lou City, the air was dull and heavy rain was brewing, and the Fanzi banner was depressed......

There is a door in the Tang Building, and it is more difficult to fight than Qingyang, so it took two more days, four days to attack, the east gate was broken, and the army was defeated again and fled.

Cheng Ye did not follow Song Yang and the army, after the Yanziping fire, everything at home was indispensable, and it was up to her to manage; The opportunity for the situation to change is fleeting, and the army must take advantage of the current morale to go in to the greatest extent to grab the results of victory, but in the end, Song Yang has only 50,000 soldiers around him, which is enough at the moment, but it is difficult to hold on for too long, whether it is the source of troops or supplies, the support of the rear is needed, Cheng Ye is responsible for this matter, contact Hongbo Mansion, Zuo Prime Minister, and find the imperial court to ask for soldiers and money.

In addition, there is an extremely important matter that must be implemented from the imperial court, and the burden on Chengye's shoulders is not light.

Ren Xiaoyu stayed by Song Yang's side. For the same reason as the red beacon smoke of Qingyang, there are still many Nanli soldiers scattered in the western frontier, who have the heart to serve the country, but it is difficult for the dragons to condense into effective combat power without a leader. On Song Yang's side, if he wants to maintain the strength of the army behind him, he has to keep absorbing new forces and replenishing them with the battle, and it takes a long time to wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements.

Counting up, the scattered armies in the western Xinjiang are all under the command of the king of Zhenxi, and Song Yang wants to collect them, but the identity of the son-in-law of Hongbo Mansion is still a little thin, and the princess will be more justified if she follows her.

The banner of the handsome in the west, the flag of the king of Zhenxi, and the banner of the Marquis of Ivy Chun, the three big flags are held together, and the west out of the tenement building is majestic.

……

Chen Ning was extremely happy, even though he was on a dangerous mission, he couldn't help but smile on his face. He was not the only one, the brothers around him were all the same as him, maybe their faces were expressionless, but their eyes were smiling.

They can't be unhappy, the reason is simple, they are all Qingyang soldiers.

Qingyang City has been through the war, and the local soldiers who can survive until now are none other than elite soldiers, Chen Ning and his brothers are no exception, they are the best scout team under Lord Liu, a group of five people, who are ordered by the army to go forward to investigate the enemy's situation and act as an outpost for the army.

The next city west of the tenement building is not a big deal, the walls are low and the doors are thin, and they will definitely not be able to stop the army, but the routine investigation and investigation work must still be done seriously, no matter how happy Chen Ning is in his heart, he will not relax on the task, especially now, although it is still far from the city, but it has been calculated that they have entered the range controlled by the soldiers, and they are more cautious when moving forward.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and a man appeared in Chen Ning's sight in the distance, running wildly.

Nanli people are dressed widely, if the man walks normally, he can't see anything, but when he runs fast, his clothes are close to the wind, and he can see that this person is burly, and he is definitely strong among Nanli people, and he is obviously a fierce person with skills, but he wears a hat on his head, and he can't see his appearance clearly when he presses down the brim of his hat.

Chen Ning waved his hand lightly, and several people immediately dispersed and lurked, setting up a small ambush formation, just waiting for this person to approach and take it down first.

The strong man just lowered his head and hurried away, not noticing the trap in the distance at all, but before he could get closer, suddenly there was another sound of horses' hooves, and a group of ten Fanzi cavalry squads galloped over, shouting and shouting, ordering the man to stop. Instead of stopping, the strong man ran faster.

Only then did Nanli scout realize that the strong man was being hunted down by Fanzi, so he must be his own person... A brother looked at Chen Ning, who shook his head slowly: they are not here for a walk, Chen Ning has a clear distinction between the military affairs of a person and his body. What's more, the number of Fanzi is twice as large as theirs, and they are all cavalry, so it is impossible to succeed in saving people, and they will only take their lives in vain.

The big man ran fast, the fans chased after him, just when the man ran to the vicinity of the scout's lurking place, the enemy cavalry had already chased forward, only more than ten zhang away from him, rushed to the front of the fan bent the bow and arrow, the big man heard the sound of breaking the air and tried his best to bend down to dodge, the arrow came so quickly, he barely avoided the key point but couldn't hide the whole body, an arrow hit the shoulder. i

The big man was extremely brave, and seemed to understand that there was no way to escape, and after being injured, he turned around sharply and wanted to pounce, with a desperate posture, but before he jumped up, another fan shot an arrow, and the big man howled miserably and covered his chest with his hands, and the arrow feathers trembled, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and his body fell down crookedly. And Fanqi was too close to him, and before he could fall down, he was hit by the oncoming horse, flew out diagonally, and fell to the ground with a bang, his body twitched, and he couldn't survive.

The hat fell, but his face was downward, and he still couldn't see his face clearly.

The fans looked at each other and laughed, checked before dismounting, and were hit by two arrows and the galloping war horse, even if it was a King Kong, he couldn't survive, the Tubo soldiers were not too guarded, but what they never dreamed of was that it was this 'dead' person who suddenly turned over and jumped up after they approached, holding a sharp arrow in his hand, and slammed into the eyes of the previous soldier, and at the same time kicked another soldier with a flying kick, and at the same time, he pulled out the enemy's waist knife and slashed the neck of the third soldier.

It was not until this moment that everyone understood that the second arrow of the big man was hit in the chest, but it was held by his hand in time, and the damage was not deep in the flesh, and it was this arrow that became a sharp weapon for him to fight back, and the eye, flying kick, snatching the knife to kill, the action was clean and fast, and it was put to three people in the blink of an eye, not a martial arts move and no routine to follow, the big man used the killing ability that can only be seen on the battlefield.

With a knife in his hand, the big man didn't say a word, just like an angry lion rushing straight to the strong enemy, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Come out and help!" ”

Chen Ning, who had just informed his brother to 'stand still' and had no intention of participating in this battle, had completely changed his appearance at this moment, and jumped out of the grass with a sharp knife in his hand. Chen Ning changed his mind, and the reason was very simple: he saw the face of the big man.

The facial features are distorted, the muscles and muscles of the face are hideous, and the skin is mottled, as if the wax man has been melted halfway by the high temperature and then solidified again, and it is difficult for Nanli to find a second person in Nanli.

When Qingyang selected talents, this man once appeared on stage with Song Yang and was accused by Changshi of being a thief wanted by the Criminal Department...... Chen Ning was present at the time, knowing that this person was an important figure in Hongbowei, and even Princess Xuanji didn't call him by his name, but called him: Brother Qin.

Ugly Han Qin cone.

It's no wonder that he can resist the blow of the war horse, and no wonder he has such ferocious skills.

As for the ambush of a few scouts, how can they hide it from others, how can they hide it from Qin Cone, who has been a horse for half his life and is well versed in all the tricks of the battlefield.

The cavalry dismounted was not as good as the infantry, the five scouts were all elite, and they were unprepared for a sneak attack on the enemy, the fight ended quickly, and all ten fans died tragically on the spot, Qin Cone showed a hideous smile at Chen Ning, nodded and wanted to say something, but he couldn't make the slightest sound in his throat, and his body suddenly fell to the ground with a weakness.

Qin Cone was injured, not an arrow from Fanzi's back or a horse slammed into it, but an old wound in the abdomen, and the wound had suppurated and emitted a thick stench. If it weren't for that, if he wanted to snipe ten fans on the way to escape with his ability, how could he get help from others!

He is the princess's family, Chang Chunhou's good, what task can be more important than sending him back to the Tang Mansion safely, Chen Ning and his party immediately turned around and escorted Qin Cone back to the rear camp.

The princess was surprised and delighted when she heard the news, and she was even more worried that she couldn't bear it anymore, Qin Cone was originally rushed to the bitter water with the king of Zhenxi, and her father's whereabouts were unknown after the Xiguan was broken, and now Qin Cone is back alone, maybe the answer can be revealed as soon as he wakes up, it may be a great news, or it may be a terrible bad news.

As soon as Qin Cone was sent to the Nanli camp, he immediately received the best care, with Song Yang to treat his injuries and recuperate, the ugly man couldn't die if he was twice as seriously injured, and a day later, Qin Cone slowly woke up, opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on a soft couch, covered with a thin silk quilt, Song Yang, the princess, and even Feng Long were all by his side.

Seeing him wake up, Song Yang smiled and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Qin Cone didn't mention his own affairs at all, and directly gave the most important news: "The handsome man is safe and sound, but he was injured a little, and it was difficult to act for a while." "The king of Zhenxi is the prince and the commander of the Western Army, and during the war, Qin Cone's old subordinates are used to calling him the marshal.

The ugly man's voice was hoarse and ugly, but this short sentence fell in Xiao Zhu's ears, not stingy with the most beautiful fairy music in heaven and earth, and the huge joy exploded from the bottom of his heart in an instant, and countless worries and worries were swept away at this moment, but the surging happiness did not turn into crisp laughter, but turned into a loud cry.

Feng Long laughed, laughed, overjoyed, and his eyes were red.

The white and chubby Li San was full of auspicious words, while pulling the corners of his clothes and constantly wiping his tears......

After everyone's mood stabilized, Qin Cone told the whole story. Kushuiguan has been operating for many years, and the king of Zhenxi has drawn heavy troops from the west to reinforce Xiongguan, although the battle was fierce and hard at the beginning of the war, the front line was completely able to hold on, until the king of Zhenxi was assassinated.

It stands to reason that if you want to sneak into Xiongguan to assassinate the prince, it is impossible for time at all, at least Song Yang can't do it, Luo Guan can't even Yunding. But what if the Assassin was a more ferocious master?

The assassins were two people, both of whom were extremely skilled, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and they had a tacit understanding, apparently carefully planned in advance. Song Yang nodded, and probably had a judgment in his heart, only the national teacher and Hua Xiaofei could do this, and it was difficult to do it alone, so the two of them had to join forces.

However, the manpower is exhausted, even the first and second joint assassinations in the world failed to kill the target, but the prince was also severely injured and fell into a coma. This was enough for the Tubo people, less than an hour after the assassination, a team of 2,000 people in the city suddenly mutinied, and the rebellion also spread the rumors that the king of Zhenxi is dead, but the generals of the Chinese army could not carry the comatose king of Zhenxi to patrol the army to refute the rumors, and the Chinese army in Kushui Pass was restless.

Song Yang sighed, he still remembered that when he ambushed the national division in Yanziping, the other party brought a battalion of Nanli cavalry... Yanding can bring a battalion of Nanli soldiers to fight the town, and naturally he can ambush another team of soldiers in the bitter water.

In the chaos of Kushui Pass, the Fanzi outside the city immediately launched an offensive, and now in retrospect, there should have been the means and design of the national teacher at that time, otherwise even if there was a small mutiny in the city, even if the king of Zhenxi was unconscious, the Kushui Pass would not be broken by the soldiers. But what happened again later, Qin Cone didn't have the heart to understand, he and the other Hongbo guards were all busy guarding the prince, he only knew that that night, before they could transfer the prince to the rear Xiongguan was broken by Fanzi. Hong Bowei had no other way but to protect the king of Zhenxi to break through and escape.

Different from the ordinary cities of Qingyang and Tanglou, there are Great Wall extensions at the north and south ends of Kushui Pass, and there are only two gates in the east and west.

Common sense inferred that Qin Cone and others should go to the east gate and protect the prince to flee to the rear, but at that time, the enemy army poured in, and the bitter water pass was in chaos. In addition, the master assassin did not flee outside the city after seriously injuring the prince, and was likely to wait for an ambush near the east gate.

It was Hongbowei who decided to take the risk of retrograde, and instead of taking the east gate, he took advantage of the chaos to run to the west gate, needless to say, this way was dangerous, in short, this step was right, they fled behind the enemy and ran to the plateau.

Fanzi couldn't find them, but a group of people protected the king of Zhenxi to hide in Tubo, and they couldn't contact the rear, so their whereabouts became unknown.

Later, things were much simpler, King Zhenxi's injuries stabilized, but he couldn't catch it after a long journey, and Qin Cone was ordered to sneak into the pass to deliver the letter. A large area of territory in the western part of the country fell into Fan, and Qin Cone had to cross a large area of enemy-occupied territory without any support and supplies, encountered several dangers, and was also injured when escaping the pursuit of the enemy, but finally successfully completed the mission.

Xiao Yu passed on to the third sister and Hongbo Mansion while shedding tears, and conveyed the good news to his family.

The king of Zhenxi is peaceful, and a stone in everyone's hearts has landed, but it is not easy to save people, the border has been completely blocked by Fanzi in the old days, unless the Nanli army fights all the way and destroys Fanzi's defense, otherwise they can't get back the prince, and Song Yang doesn't have much to do about it, so he can only run to ask Luo Guan for help.

That night, Luo Guan set off to the west overnight, entrusted by Song Yang, according to Qin Cone's guidance, rushed to the plateau to meet the prince, if he could smuggle people back, it would be the best, if there was no chance for the time being, there would be an extra great master by the prince's side, and the safety could also be guaranteed.

Song Yang originally wanted to run a trip in person, firstly, he was the son-in-law of Hongbo Mansion, and secondly, he was fully qualified to take on this errand with his strain and martial arts, but the morale of the army came because of him, and now he is not only a rich and noble marquis, but also the generalissimo of Nanli's expedition to the west, how can he leave at this time, even Qin Cone persuaded him: You are leaving the army and going to the plateau, if the prince knows, you will not be allowed to marry his daughter again......

However, the great master is not alone, he also has three people around him, the first two are seven or eight times, the brothers have good skills and experience, and they can help a lot during the sneaking process; The other person is Li Yifeng, the personal guard of His Majesty the 'First Emperor', who was sent by Feng Long on his own initiative to help.

The team of four people is not worth mentioning, but it is full of elites, as long as they don't provoke the enemy army or the ridiculously strong masters like Yanding and Hua Xiaofei, there is really no danger to stop them......

On the second day when Song Yang and the others learned the good news that the king of Zhenxi was safe and sound, when the army was continuing to advance westward, he received another rumor from Phoenix City that there had recently been another major event and war in Middle-earth:

The Yan State waved its troops north and attacked the dogs.

Just as the porcelain doll and the Great Khan discussed, the Yan State wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Dog Rong and the Uighurs were in a hurry, and they would take advantage of the grassland.
