Zhao Xian was speechless for a moment, turned his head to look into the distance, and saw by the firelight that in front of a group of silver-armored cavalry, there were old and young, men and women, all dressed as civilians, carrying long ladders, pushing strange things, crossed on all sides, about five zhang high, the top is a platform, the bottom is a larger square platform, two rows of wooden wheels are exposed on the side, and the whole cowhide is hung in front, I can't see the inside, I vaguely see the sword and shield soldiers behind, and the strange thing is swaying forward, It looks like it was used to climb the city.

These brutes! Zhao Xian was angry, but once the city was broken, it would not be as simple as killing a few villagers, he could only say: "My lord, if the chariot is close to the city, we will not be able to defend the city at all, and at this time, we will not be able to make a woman benevolent." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yue Jiheng waited for Zhao Xian in surprise, what this meant was that he didn't care about the surnames of those people, this was too ruthless! But he didn't say anything, after all, most of those people were farmers outside the city, and every year in the Northern Qi Dynasty, they would give them silver to attack the city, and some of them who were greedy for money naturally ran to the front as a human shield.

Yue Jiheng especially wanted to kill them, but he didn't dare to do it at all. If he ignored those civilians and beat them all the time, the history books were afraid that he would have to record his stigma from now on, and he would be scolded for thousands of generations, how could he bear such a crime? Moreover, if the prison army knew about it and impeached him in the court, even if he escaped the butcher's knife of the Northern Qi Dynasty today, I am afraid that the emperor would be guilty.

"Ridiculous!" Ning Mo originally took the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Xian and pretended to be angry, but now he was really angry, and pointed at Zhao Xian and said: "I hope you are still a scholar who has been taught by the saint, how can I, as a soldier in the army, hurt my own people?" If so, what is the difference between it and the rebellious ministers and thieves of the Northern Qi outside the city? If such a rebellious remark is made again, Hugh blames the old man for the military law, and all the archers are ready to shoot those enemy generals who are approaching, so as not to hurt the people. ”

Daliang claims to be orthodox and respects the literati, it is impossible and dare not hurt the people outside, although he will defend the city, but he will lose the hearts of the people of Daliang and a country. Northern Qi was scolded by the scholars as a rebellious rebellious minister and thief, as the saying goes, there are too many lice and it is not itchy, they can be really villains, but Daliang can't be a hypocrite, because the world of Daliang is supported by scholars, if you are ashamed of the people, who will go to spill blood for you?

Zhao Xian was angry for a while when he heard this, those innocent people are human beings, aren't these soldiers who are loyal to the country human beings? He finally understood why Shen Lingshan knew that he was invincible and still had to go out of the city to face the battle, he was forced by these self-proclaimed patriotic and patriotic scholars, Shen Lingshan fought with only 800 people left to fight the enemy army without taking a step back, how tragic that scene was.

"Obedience." Zhao Xian took a few deep breaths, then turned around and ran towards the Black Tiger Camp, and walked into the gate, the four red lanterns at the door were gently swaying in the wind and snow, and at this time the snow was falling more densely, and large snowflakes were fluttering one after another, and the world was vast.

Zhao Xian looked at the people walking around the courtyard in the ice and snow, whipped it on the ground with a whip and made a loud noise, and said loudly: "Everyone gather, wear knives, guns and armor, and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy." ”

"Ahh Everyone in the audience raised their heads in panic, and after reacting, they all knelt on the ground with a blank face, begging for mercy: "My lord, spare me and wait..."

Hu Yidao was holding a plate of just-fried kung pao chicken, which also fell to the ground at this time, he looked at Zhao Xian who was riding on the horse in horror and said: "Brother Xian, are you crazy, what's the difference between letting us go to war and sending us to death?" ”

"I'm going to go out too, do you think I want to?" Zhao Xian was furious, and whipped the ground violently, and then brought a group of people with swords and guns, and rushed towards the north city wall in a big stride.

Huang Tiantian has been following Zhao Xian's side, his face was pale, he pulled Zhao Xian's sleeve, and said hurriedly: "Don't go out, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, if it is ......"

"Alright, alright." Zhao Xian shook off her hand and said in a deep voice: "You go back and stay well, I can't disobey the military order." ”

Huang Tiantian didn't lose his temper because of Zhao Xian's impatient attitude this time, but looked anxious, and asked Zhao Xian to take these hundreds of men to fight, there was definitely no life or death, what would she do if something happened to Zhao Xian.

Huang Tiantian looked left and right, an idea flashed in his heart, and he leaned in front of Zhao Xian and whispered: "If we don't go, everyone is in the north of the city at this time, and no one will pay attention if we leave secretly." ”

"Nonsense." Although Zhao Xian said this, Huang Tiantian's concern still warmed his heart, and he looked at the soldiers behind him who were wearing tattered armor and holding a notched blade, he couldn't do anything to escape from the battle, so he had to say lightly: "After I left, I was found to be still unable to escape death, instead of being a deserter, it is better to take them to the battlefield to fight, and it is better to die, and besides, I can't die easily, you go back." ”

After speaking, Zhao Xian took off Huang Tiantian's big knife of more than 40 catties, shaved her little face, and hung it on the horse and galloped away.

are dying and still heroes, Huang Tiantian is angry and anxious but doesn't know what to do, what can her daughter's family do, stay in place and don't know what to do.

On the north gate, nearly a hundred officials were looking nervously at the city. This gate is facing the gate of the north, the east and west gates have to go around a long way, even if they come to attack, it is difficult to mobilize a large group of cavalry to attack the east and west gates, which is relatively safe, and the most dangerous is this city wall, outside the city is the main battlefield.

Most of Yue Jiheng's 3,000 men had already gathered, and when he saw Zhao Xian bringing people here, he drove his horse over and said solemnly: "Zhao Dutong, your people stay in the rear and are responsible for picking up and transporting the wounded, don't let me down." ”

Yue Jiheng's soldiers and horses, seeing that Zhao Xian was behind some soldiers in tattered clothes, some of them were limping and even difficult to walk, his face couldn't help but reveal a trace of strangeness and regret, and he shook his head and stopped looking.

Responsible for transporting the wounded, these people are estimated to be able to do this, Zhao Xian nodded, hugged his fists and said: "Obey orders." ”

Zhao Xian looked at Yue Jiheng carefully, his expression was extremely fierce, before he raised the lance and the soldiers, he seemed to care about the enemy army in Northern Qi, and he still looked like a general, Zhao Xian couldn't help nodding secretly, the impact on Yue Jiheng of the lance had changed a lot.

"Squeak!" As the gates of the city were slowly opened, it was pitch black outside, with countless torches flowing around, bursts of roars coming from afar, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.

"Sons! The front is the enemy, the back is the girder, we have countless backings behind us, but behind them there is only the rolling Yangtze River. Yue Jiheng raised the horse lance in his hand, pointed to the fire in the distance, and drank: "Kill me!" ”

"Wow!" There was a loud shout in unison, and the heavy horseshoe stepped on the snow-covered ground, and the muffled sound of it and the hearts of the officers and soldiers on the city walls were trembling.

More than 20 torches suddenly gathered on the city wall, reflecting the shadows of several people, and they rushed over from afar, it was Chen Qing, the commander of the Jinling capital.

He hurriedly watched on the city wall for a while, and when he saw that the Northern Qi had not yet reached the front of the city wall, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the distance and estimated, and said, "Do more than 4,000 people want to capture Jinling?" ”

Ning Mo pointed to the north and said, "Lord Chen, one of the scouts sent out just now was shot dead, and the one who escaped back reported that there were still boats on the riverside, and this is probably only the first wave." ”

Chen Qing's heart tightened slightly, he chose too tricky at this time, and he suddenly attacked during the Chinese New Year. He walked in place a few times, and sighed: "I am afraid that the army is not well prepared and hastily dispatched troops to stop the Northern Qi, and the reinforcements from the surrounding cities may only feel it early tomorrow morning, this night is difficult." ”

"All of them!" A burst of war drums sounded, the city gate was opened with a creak under the city tower, the Daliang army rushed out, rushing over the suspension bridge of the moat, Yue Jiheng and his three subordinates all led the officers and soldiers to rush out of the city, and hundreds of soldiers armed with bows and arrows were on standby on the battlements.

When Northern Qi saw the Jinling City Gate open, he immediately let out a long howl, and the people in front quickly scattered and fled to the rear, and rows of cavalry in silver bright light armor pressed over against the backdrop of faint fire and snow.

More than 2,000 people went out of the city to meet these Northern Qi cavalry who rode tall horses and countless numbers? Zhao Xian was a little nervous in his heart, after all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield.

Hu Yidao followed behind, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he ran as fast as everyone else.

However, with Yue Jiheng and other lightly armored cavalry rushing ahead, it would not be dangerous to transport the wounded, and before Zhao Xian could think about it, he heard a bee-like "buzzing" noise in front.

When I looked up, countless long arrows shimmered in the light of the beacon fire, overwhelming the sky like a downpour......

Just when the beacon fire in the city had just been lit, Yijun, who had already packed up his things and was about to turn around and return to Beijing angrily, changed his face slightly.

Beiqi called, as long as she helped Zhao Xian make a small contribution, she could help Zhao Xian get rid of the crime and take him back to the capital, but thinking of what Zhao Xian did last night, as well as the hurtful words, Yijun was aggrieved and angry, and wanted to leave regardless of it, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't take a step under his feet.

After hesitating for a long time in the inn's room, Yijun snorted lightly, stomped his feet angrily and was about to open the door and go out, but at this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Between the corridors at the door, there was a slender man in white, still the same as last time, but today he changed into women's clothes.

Dressed in white and white skirts, with long hair slightly coiled up without powder, he is like a fairy-like person, revealing a sense of arrogance and dust, phoenix eyebrows and light eyes, snowy skin and red lips, flawless cheeks are as crystal as jade, but there is a hint of coldness on the lips, as holy and noble as a fairy above the nine heavens, without a trace of fireworks, as if it is a sin to let people look at it.

"How are you alone?" She was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, but when she saw the door open, she withdrew her hand and strolled into the guest room, glanced at the simply furnished guest room with some confusion, and asked, "Your mother?" ”

When Yijun saw the visitor, his body froze for a moment, and he hurriedly retreated to the house, twisted his fingers and thought about it, and said with a restrained expression: "I, my mother and she went back." ”

"Then why are you still here?" The man in white sat lightly on the couch, raised his eyes and glanced at Yijun gently, his eyes revealing a hint of fierceness.

"I..." Yijun bit his lower lip, thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of an excuse so he could only whisper honestly: "I think the kid I found last time is very similar to An Li'er you talked about, so I stayed alone to investigate." ”

"Like?" The man in white frowned and looked at Yijun, got up and walked slowly in front of her, his face was very unpleasant.

"No, no, no, he is, absolutely." Yijun hurriedly took a step back, nervous: "Master, you have to believe me, he has no father and mother since he was a child, that sister adopted him, he has a long-life lock, but her sister sold it, and he doesn't remember it." ”

After Yijun finished speaking, she looked at her master nervously, biting her lower lip with a serious expression.

The man in white's eyes flashed slightly, thought about it for a moment, and nodded slightly: "It's nothing to lie to me, but if this matter is messed up, you understand the consequences." ”

"I, I understand." Yijun trembled slightly, lowered his head and was silent.

The man in white snorted lightly, and then fluttered out of the inn window like a soul, but at this moment, she suddenly flashed another thought, stopped and turned back and said: "When the army attacks, let that kid also go out of the city, I will give him a beautiful military exploit, his status is too low to do things." ”

Out of town? Yijun was shocked when she heard this, now that the war is raging, Zhao Xian still has her life when she goes out, but she doesn't dare to refute, so she ran out in a hurry.
