The sky was still blazing, the ground was hot, there was not a trace of wind, and the warm blood flowed on the ground before it condensed and dried up, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of sulfur in the sky made people almost suffocate.

Wang Lanping's tens of thousands of troops swooped like crazy towards the defense line of the Gui army, the corpses piled up around the camp, and when a cannonball hit, you could see blood flying in the blink of an eye, and all kinds of stumps and broken bodies flew above the heads of Wang Lanping and others.

The shouting and killing in the mountains became more and more intense, and Cao Dingjiao also risked his life to block the left and right, and put the ambush soldiers on both sides, so that Wang Lanping, who was in the middle of the array, could lead people to concentrate on attacking the Gui army camp.

Perhaps it is Wang Lanping's far-reaching prestige that is inspiring these soldiers who have lost their ability to attack, which will be desperate to follow Wang Lanping and his two hundred personal soldiers to rush behind him, these people's equipment and the Han Wang's personal soldiers can not be compared, almost no armor, completely relying on flesh and blood to hard top the opponent's dense projectiles and arrows, all of this invisibly confirms a sentence, the soldier is a hero, the male is a nest, the Han King personally rushed to the forefront, whose life is more valuable than the Han King.

It was only fifty or sixty steps from the mountain pass to the edge of King Gui's camp, and Wang Lanping, under the cover of the steel shields of the soldiers, relied on the 'flesh wall' made of corpses to advance towards the opposite side step by step.

In front of the frenzied blockade, there were large ambushes on both sides, Wang Lanping understood that his army was completely surrounded by the other party, and the possibility of withdrawing was zero, and only if you died could there be a trace of life.

The sound of killing in the mountains became more and more intense, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the other party ambushed in the mountains, let alone how many people there are in this camp, this battle is so wrong, it's ridiculous to think about it, there will be a scene of more than 100,000 people fighting in a small valley that is not inconspicuous, which Wang Lanping did not expect.

As the Han army approached the opponent's position step by step, the artillery of the Gui army was almost flat, and the shells were fired against the ground, and the two sides were already close to the point that they could not get closer, and the bows and arrows were almost vertically shot above the head, and dozens of soldiers on both sides were killed in every blink of an eye, too close, and a stone could be thrown into the opponent's pile.

The Gui army was also in chaos, musketeers, archers, swords, and artillery were all piled together, and even Wang Lanping could hear the scolding of the other party's own people trampling on their own people.

Wang Lanping gritted his teeth and hid behind the wall stacked with steel shields, and could see the explosion caused by the overheating of the other party's red cannon barrel, and the cast iron cannon barrels thick with buckets were thrown into the sky one after another, and the fire caused by the explosion soon spread to the camp tent of the Gui army, and the fire rose to the sky, and soon the artillery of the Gui army could no longer be fired.

Step after step, and finally less than thirty steps away from the Gui army camp.

At such a close distance, in such a chaotic position, artillery and guns have completely lost their effectiveness.

Wang Lanping looked back at the soldiers who followed one after another, his heart was dripping blood, and there were people dying all the time, just for the tactic that I don't know if it can be realized, whether it works or not, or I have to work hard for it, it depends on who can consume whom, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, the soldiers in the camp here are a bottomless pit.

In the face of this kind of desperate fighting, the Gui army finally couldn't stand it, many people were so frightened that they rushed towards the middle of the camp, Wang Lanping estimated that the defenders here were not 10,000 but also 8,000, and they were consumed until now, how could they have died half of them, you are Zhao Zhishang, a son of Wang Ba, don't you send troops over for reinforcements?

I don't know how many lives were paid, Wang Lanping and his own soldiers finally killed to the edge of the camp, along the camp around is a ravine about one zhang wide, more than one person deep, beyond here is the other party's camp.

As the defenders retreated and fought, Wang Lanping's side had already concentrated all the shield soldiers at the forefront, lined up in a shield wall more than ten zhang long, followed by nearly 10,000 soldiers behind this shield wall, and both sides did not have a close hand-to-hand fight now, and the arrows collided in the air again.

"Fill the ditch with corpses" Wang Lanping's face was covered in blood, he didn't know if he was injured or not, anyway, when the battle came to this, as long as he lived, he could only attack.

A corpse was pushed into the ravine, and some people fell into it with one foot, and before he could get up, he was buried in the corpse in a blink of an eye, and the materials for filling the ditch were within reach, and several 'solid bridges' were filled in in a moment.

After paying such a large number of casualties, only by attacking the opponent's camp can he really hurt him.

Wang Lanping pushed away the group of soldiers around him, threw away the steel gun, picked up a long knife from the ground casually, and pulled a steel shield from the hand of a personal soldier, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, there is no turning back, either wait here to die, or rush over to die, kill one enough, everyone hold on to Huangquan Road, kill!" ”

This may be the most frustrating order he shouted since he led the troops, but the effect is surprisingly good, as Wang Lanping stepped on the corpse across the ravine, the shield wall behind him also spread out, and everyone followed like crazy, there were too many dead people, numb, blood pooled into a trickle, one foot stepped on, blood splashed, this kind of battle may be the most tragic these people have ever seen in their lives.

Thousands of madmen under the leadership of a red-eyed Han king like no one, more than a hundred Han king's personal soldiers divided into three layers to protect Wang Lanping's surroundings, rushed into the camp, cut people when they saw them, and surrendered to the people kneeling on the ground did not let go, in an instant, the camp defense position on the right side of the Gui army collapsed, and the defeated army retreated like a tide.

**

"Report! King Gui, Governor Zhao, the right flank can't stand it" A general with an arrow in his chest rolled off his horse and plunged headlong into King Gui's tent of the Chinese army.

"What!" Zhu Youlang and Zhao Zhishang were drinking, this shout startled the two of them, and King Gui was so shocked that even the wine glass fell to the ground.

"How is it possible, I have 20,000 people there" Zhao Zhishang ran over and grabbed the bloody man on the ground, and said angrily.

The bloody man spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, Xu Wei couldn't live long, and said with difficulty: "Crazy, all crazy, the enemy army has concentrated all the forces on the right side, the brothers can't stop it, Wang Lanping himself has led people to kill the Chinese army."

"How much rushed in"

"The enemy and the enemy are staggered, and there are endless teams behind the enemy"

"Ahh

King Gui was stunned when he heard the words and squirmed into the chair, his lips squirmed again and again, but he didn't say a word, just now Zhao Zhishang also told him that Wang Lanping had been surrounded in this small mountain, and he couldn't fly out even if he had wings, why did he kill the Chinese army after just a few glasses of wine.

Before Zhao Zhishang could punish him, the bloody man had died of exhaustion, Zhao Zhishang threw down the body and ran out of the tent to look at the right, but he couldn't see anything, the right side was nearly two miles away from this, and at a glance there were white marching tents, only the shouting and killing sound that was getting closer and closer proved the fact, and the right side really collapsed.

Zhao Zhishang clenched his fists and beat him in the chest, no, he must be blocked, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses occupy the right time and place, how can he fight like this, could it be that Wang Lanping is Nezha.

King Gui's intermittent voice came from the tent: "Escort...... Escort ......, this king, this king wants to go back, I don't want to die"

Zhao Zhishang gritted his teeth and scolded secretly: Waste of money.

"Someone, have you found out about the enemy?" Zhao Zhishang is also a veteran, and he is a bit of a fire when he is not in danger, and the enemy's main generals have personally appeared in the fight, what does that mean, it shows that Wang Lanping has been cornered, and he went straight to the Chinese army, which is nothing more than wanting to disrupt his Chinese army with limited troops, according to this view, Wang Lanping's main force should be by his side and block him.

A general arched his hand and said: "I have been watching, except for the right flank, there is no enemy in the rest of the camp four miles away."

Who said no, Song Dali's five thousand elite cavalry were ambushed five miles away from their left flank, and the distance of four miles was a blink of an eye for the cavalry.

Zhao Zhishang could only transfer troops from the left flank to save the right flank, and half of the soldiers on the first and last defense lines were transferred to Wang Lanping's rear road for a roundabout encirclement, and there was no way to divide more troops.

Shouting and killing is getting closer and closer to the Chinese army, and if you don't make a decision, it is likely to cause a major collapse on the whole front, and even if Kong Ming is reborn at that time, it will not be able to turn the tide of the battle.

"The governor ordered that the six battalions on the left flank should leave one battalion, and the rest of the men and horses should quickly reinforce the right flank, and Wang Lanping must be driven back to the mountains."

"Yes!"

Zhao Zhishang's army was still the standard configuration of the Ming army, with a battalion of 3,600 men, which was not the same as the battalion reorganized by Wang Lanping (13,000 men in a battalion), and six battalions of men and horses were stationed on the left flank, and Song Dali would never be able to enter it.

With the issuance of Zhao Zhishang's military order, most of the men and horses on the left flank went to the right flank, and at this time they couldn't care whether it was their own deserters or the enemy army that attacked, and the Gui army on the right flank opened the way with 3,000 archers, and the rain of arrows in the sky smashed over Wang Lanping's army.

In the chaos, Wang Lanping rushed with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, but at this time, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, because he heard it, heard the enemy's left flank move.

But at this moment, Wang Lanping only felt a black cloud overhead, and a sharp sound of breaking the sky fell from the sky.

"Arrow array is coming, raise your shield!" Wang Lanping didn't have time to look, he shouted with feeling, but his voice couldn't reach far in this noisy melee.

The black cloud was wrapped in a strong wind and smashed down, Wang Lanping's personal soldiers were also fast-eyed, more than ten shields were raised towards him together, but it was still slow, under the shield, his body was hit out by more than ten arrows inserted in his body, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain like a knife cut all over his body, when he looked down, his chest, shoulders, and stomach had been inserted with seven or eight arrows, at the moment, he only felt that his heart and blood were churning, his throat and eyes surged, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his eyes became more and more hazy, as if his body was floating in the air like a kite, At this moment, he seemed to see the old lady waiting for him to come back from Du Yuanwai's house at the gate of the small courtyard of Huaining's hometown, and there was a girl lying on the low courtyard wall next to him, wasn't that Yun Niang, he stretched out his left hand, wanting to pull their hands.

"Mother......

"Han Wang ......" dozens of personal soldiers rushed over with shields.

**

The night was bleak, and the white moonlight shrouded the city of Chengdu, which had been shrouded in death for two years.

Daxi, Dingbei Palace.

"Ping'er!" An old voice suddenly screamed in the dark room.

In a moment, the candlelight lit up next door, and as the candlelight moved, the two maids carried the candlestick to the room where the sound had just been made.

Before they could knock, the door opened on its own, and a gray-haired woman came out tremblingly holding on to the doorframe, and months of torture in the dungeon had made it almost impossible for her to stand, and her hair was white before she was sixty years old, and her face was wrinkled.

The two maids were busy supporting her left and right, and one said, "Old lady, it's so late, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

The woman burst into tears and murmured, "I, my son, my son is calling me, you listen, he is calling me, he is covered in blood, how much he wants his mother to help him"

The two maids looked at each other, stunned, and really pricked up their ears to listen for a while, and one said: "Hey, old lady, you have nightmares again, what time is this, who is shouting, go back and rest"

"But I really heard it, it's Ping'er, it's him, can you take me to him, I don't want to live here, I miss my son"

"That's not good, the prince has confessed, you are the safest only in this way"

The prince in the maid's mouth is Ai Nengqi, the king of Dingbei in the Great Western Kingdom, and the old woman is none other than Wang Lanping's old lady who has been separated for more than a year, Wang Zhao.

**

Nanjing, Han Wangfu.

Early in the morning, Yun Niang came to the back garden, sitting alone in the octagonal pavilion with her hands on her cheeks, leaning against the vermilion column, staring at the goldfish in the lotus pond in a daze, as if she was too engaged, and she didn't even notice that Zheng Jiasi and Du Ningning came behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Du Ningning playfully hugged Yun Niang's shoulders from behind.

Yun Niang looked back, got up and gave Zheng Jiasi a salute, "Yun Niang asked Princess An"

"Sister Yun, don't be polite, it's all a family, you don't have to be so polite every day, look at your bad face, do you have anything on your mind?"

Zheng Jiasi is still so kind, everyone likes to chat with her, especially the fragrance on her body changes every day.

Du Ningning grinned, picked up a blade of grass by the pavilion and threw it into the lotus pond, and said, "Our Mrs. Yun has something on her mind every day, I miss that man."

It has been almost three months since Wang Lanping set out on the expedition, and I don't know if the battle is over.

Yun Niang didn't deny it, she pursed her mouth, turned around, and held her chin to look at the fish in the pool, as if she could see the person she wanted to see from there.

Zheng Jiasi heard Ning Ning talk about him, and his face was also gloomy, why didn't he want to, he was newly married and set out for so long.

Zheng Jiasi picked up the long skirt and sat opposite Yun Niang, took her hand, and was about to comfort a few words, but was a little surprised, "Sister Yun, why are your hands so cold?" ”

Du Ningning also came over, there was no man in the family, and there was no jealousy, and everyone got along better than Wang Lanping before the expedition.

"Are you sick, why don't you call an imperial doctor to take a look" Du Ningning took Yun Niang's hand and was concerned.

Yun Niang's face was a little pale, her head leaned against the pillar and shook gently, as if she was talking to herself: "I'm fine, I had a dream last night, I dreamed of him, he said he missed us, I said then you come back soon, he, he didn't speak, turned his head and left, and then I woke up, but my eyelids kept jumping, I don't know what's going on, I can't sleep, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll never see him again, I'm afraid ......"

While speaking, Yun Niang cried and rested her head on Zheng Jiasi's shoulder.

Zheng Jiasi heard her say this, and her heart couldn't help but pinch up, but what could she do if she was worried, as a woman who was a general in a foreign battle, how could she have a future where she could call the shots, she smiled reluctantly at the moment, gently stroked Yun Niang's back and said: "Sister, don't think nonsense, the prince is a good person, he will definitely be safe, his name is Lan Ping, Lan Ping means that the world is peaceful, he was sent down by God to save the common people, God will not let him have anything to do, rest assured"

Yun Niang puffed out her mouth, Chu Chu was pitiful, and looked up at Zheng Jiasi, "Really?" ”

Du Ningning, who was on the side, interjected at this time: "It's all your fault, it's not good to say something, forget it, I'll go find Concubine Ling, she must know the news of Brother Lan Ping."

Zheng Jiasi said: "Where is she?" ”

"In the palace, the queen summoned her yesterday, and she didn't come back all night, so she was left in the palace by the queen again."

At this time, Yun Niang straightened her waist and wiped her tears and said, "You can't enter the palace, Brother Lan Ping let me watch you when he leaves, and you can't go anywhere until he comes back."

Du Ningning puffed out his mouth and sat down on the side, and said unhappily: "Okay, okay, I'm not going, Ah Xiang, go, go to the kitchen for Miss Ben to bring breakfast, do you know, this delicious food is the best way to forget your sorrows, really"

Zheng Jiasi and Yun Niang both covered their mouths and smiled when they heard this, but unexpectedly, Zheng Jiasi's smile froze at this time, and they were stunned, and they covered their mouths and went outside the pavilion, holding on to the pillar and retching again and again.

Yun Niang and Du Ningning hurriedly walked over and patted her on the back, Du Ningning said, "What's wrong with you?" I haven't eaten it yet."

Zheng Jiasi waved his hand and said, "No, it's nothing, I don't know what's going on lately, I always feel nauseous, maybe I ate something unclean." )
