Chapter 16: The Arrow

The spear aimed at Tang Chaoren was pitch black, and Xue Chongxun and the others all widened their eyes, and their breathing almost stopped. Tang Chaoren's left arm was chopped off, bleeding profusely, and he was almost fainting, and the horizontal knife he was holding in his right hand was trembling, making a "buzzing" sound, and he couldn't make any resistance.

The spear head glowed with a cold sheen, and it was already flying over. At this moment, Xue Chongxun's mind was blank, his hearing was lost in an instant, and the wailing between heaven and earth suddenly quieted down...... But after a moment, a noise of "coaxing" came back to his ears, and he finally came to his senses, and immediately threw the horizontal knife in his hand at the cavalryman, and hit the cuirass with a "bang", but it had no effect.

"Poof!" Tang Chaoren's chest was suddenly pierced by a spear, and he immediately dismounted.

A childhood friend, a brother-like friend, Tang Tuanlian died like this? Xue Chongxun felt a sharp pain in his heart.

At this time, Xue Chongxun suddenly felt the danger, the cold light flashed, he didn't think much about it, he dodged to the side, a Mo knife swept his armor, and the strange sound of metal rubbing made people's teeth ache.

Suddenly, his body was unbalanced, Xue Chongxun didn't sit still, and fell off the horse. Between the lightning and flint, he saw two black shadows in the air roaring down at his head, which were the iron hooves of the war horse!

"Xue Lang!"

Xue Chongxun hurriedly rolled, and at the same time pulled out another horizontal knife from his arms, and stabbed the horse above in the belly with one sword. "Shhh The immediate wail made the eardrums tickle. He was covered in blood, and rolled out from under the horse's belly, and just as he wanted to get up, suddenly there was a loud "bang" on the helmet, and something hit the iron helmet, and the helmet flew away. He only felt that there was a white expanse in front of him, and there was a "buzzing ......" earthquake in his ears.

"Huo!" With a burst of shouts, a vague black shadow flew in front of him, where are the people, where are the attacking weapons? Xue Chongxun was dazed for a while, and he couldn't see clearly.

He staggered there, and in a trance, his childhood hometown appeared in front of his eyes again...... Is it possible to travel back? Got home......

Suddenly, his face was hot, and a sticky thing was pouring down, which woke him up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe it on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the right-wing Wu Erlang was rushing over obliquely, and the Mo knife swept the place, and no one could stop him from turning over on his back.

"Brother! Are you okay? ”

Xue Chongxun was like a beggar, and he turned his head and shouted, "Zhang Wulang! I can't rush it, and if I don't do it now, I won't have a chance! ”

…… Zhang Wulang visually inspected the retreating team of Li Longji in front, they were gradually moving away, and the distance was at least one hundred and twenty steps at this time! Distance is still secondary, the key is that there are many armies around, and there are too many obstacles!

"Protect me!" Zhang Wulang shouted.

Wu Chongxing swept back and forth on the right flank with a Mo sword, and the enemy could not get close even half a step; Xue Chongxun carried a knife on foot, slashed horizontally and vertically, and fought hard to support. Fortunately, the second wave of the Flying Tiger Regiment's stormtroop formation and the soldiers of the Chinese Brigade are getting closer and closer, and it is only in an instant that they can come over.

Zhang Wulang pulled another arrow from himself, and suddenly jumped, and jumped on the horse's back with both feet. The mount was moving back and forth unsteadily, and he took a deep breath, his body swaying as his mount swayed, trying to maintain his balance and gradually standing up.

At this moment, the fighting seems to be gone, Zhang Wulang's angular face is as calm as a practicing monk, the prosperity is gone, and the hustle and bustle is gone...... He stared ahead, put the arrow in his right hand to his mouth and kissed it, and wound the arrow, pulling the bow like a full moon!

The sun had already set, and the last of the brilliance of the horizon was leaking out of the clouds, gorgeous and wonderful. Zhang Wulang's standing body is like an ancient statue in an instant, interpreting the artistic meaning of power.

At this moment, he is not a feudal marquis, let alone wealth. It's just that the friends who fought side by side paid for their blood and lives, so go all out and don't live up to today's comrades!

"Bang!" With a sound of a string, an arrow full of hope and death broke through the air. In the blink of an eye, Li Longji, who was dressed in yellow, fell off his horse, and the hundred ironclad guards failed to protect him.

"Hit!" Zhang Wulang was distracted, his body had already pounced, and he shouted in the air.

At this moment, the middle brigade of the Flying Tiger Regiment received the enemy, and the killing sound shook the sky, and the force besieging Xue Chongxun and others was immediately defeated.

"Are you dead?" Xue Chongxun grabbed Zhang Wulang.

Zhang Wulang didn't know. He said: "I saw a large number of people coming from the direction of the Lizheng Gate. ”

At this time, the Donggong guards who were blocking the middle brigade of the Flying Tiger Regiment were defeated and were fleeing towards the Wude Palace. Xue Chongxun shouted: "Stop the pursuit and retreat to Chengtianmen!" ”

He shouted and left Zhang Wulang, who had fallen into a mess, and ran to Tang Chaoren again. I saw that Tang Chaoren's face was covered with blood, his eyes were still open, and he was a little moved, and he was not dead yet......

"Tangtuan practice......" Xue Chongxun hurriedly grabbed his hand, and saw that he was wearing a long spear on his stomach, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.

Tang Tuanlian's mouth moved, Xue Chongxun hurriedly possessed him, only to hear him say: "What Xue Lang said before...... The little lady in the east of the river in the dream...... What happened to you? ”

It's not a little lady from Hedong...... Right now? Future? She should have been married a long time ago, maybe her children will be able to play soy sauce.

But Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "Still waiting for me, after this busy period, I will go back to marry her and have a lot of children." He burst into tears of laughter.

I haven't had tears for years, but now my tears are for a man.

After hearing this, a smile appeared in Tang Tuanlian's mouth, and he turned his head slightly to look to the left. Xue Chongxun followed his gaze and saw that it was an apricot tree, already full of apricot blossoms, graceful in the breeze.

Tang Tuanlian muttered with a smile, "Very beautiful...... A qiē is very good......"

"Tangtuan practice!" Xue Chongxun knelt on the ground and held him in his arms. The surrounding generals all knelt down with sadness in their eyes. Zhang Wulang looked at the apricot tree in a daze and said, "Tang Tuan Lian used to chat, as if he had a daughter named Xing or something. ”

……

King Qi and King Xue led thousands of cavalry to cross the inner court, seized the political gate and rushed out to the Wude Palace, and were already lined up to prepare for battle.

And Chang Yuankai, the general of Yulin Wei, and others also mobilized the Yulin army out of the camp and marched to the side of Princess Taiping of Chengtianmen to set up a formation. The whole cavalry troops on both sides, the iron armor is like a forest, and the two pieces of men and horses are pressed by the black. The court, no longer a place of singing and drinking, has completely become a battlefield.

In the Chengtianmen Tower, the prime minister, the general and other civil and military ministers are arranged on both sides to participate in the plan. The superior is Princess Taiping, but Xue Chongxun also sits beside her.

"The most important thing now is whether Li Longji is dead!" Dou Huaizhen reviewed the humanity.

Xiao Zhizhong also nodded and said: "If he dies, the Yulin Army can only listen to His Highness, we can still fight, and the chance of victory is very high; If you don't die, you're in danger! ”

Princess Taiping didn't seem to listen to the ministers, and looked at Xue Chongxun, who was covered in blood, and said, "Take off your armor, I'll see your injuries." ”

Xue Chongxun was dirty, indeed a little wolf, his neck was still hot and painful, it was cut by an arrow, and there were also a few arrow wounds in sadness, but fortunately the armor blocked it, the injury was not serious, just a little skin injury. He immediately said, "It doesn't matter, let's get down to business first." ”

Princess Taiping's face was still calm, and she couldn't see any emotion, she said, "You don't listen to me? ”

Xue Chongxun had to take off the armor slowly, the clothes inside were already torn, and a smell of blood and sweat came to his face.

"You have a wound on your back, so you took off your clothes."

Xue Chongxun: "......"

It was really embarrassing to be shirtless in front of so many ministers, he hesitated for a moment, and didn't want to disobey his mother's wishes, so he had to pull off his shirt too, revealing his strong muscles.

At this time, a palace maid came up with water and was about to wash Xue Chongxun's wounds, but Princess Taiping said, "I'll come." ”

Everyone stopped discussing and looked at the mother and son silently, wondering what they were going to do with their current predicament. One of them finally couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, it is not clear whether Li Longji is dead or alive, and ten thousand cavalry are coming to the city and may rush over at any time...... We must not only prepare for war, but also prevent rumors, otherwise there will be chaos before the battle, and if we lose the Yulin Army, we will have no power to return to heaven! ”

Princess Taiping said coldly: "Since they can win by rushing over, why don't they rush over now?" ”

When everyone heard this, they thought about Li Longji's arrow, and suddenly felt that Taiping's words were reasonable. But seeing that she was not in a hurry and calm, it made everyone's hearts settle down a little. Many people admired her again, and it was really everyone's demeanor!

"Does it hurt?" Princess Taiping picked up a towel and gently wiped the wound on Xue Chongxun's back. With a gentle word, it suddenly became amorous in everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes became strange.

If you want to say that in the early years of Taiping, it was really a flower of the Tang Dynasty.

"Mother, I'll do it myself." Xue Chongxun felt very unnatural in front of everyone. Maybe Princess Taiping never cared much about the relationship between her children? In the past, Xue Chongxun didn't get any maternal love from her, but now that it's suddenly like this, he feels unaccustomed.

She finally signaled the palace maid and the imperial doctor to take over, treated Xue Chongxun's wounds, and then put on her clothes.

The night had already begun, and the torches were everywhere outside, illuminating the palace square as bright as day. Taiping turned her head to look outside the tower, as if thinking about something, the night breeze gently stirred her hairline, and in the light, she became more and more beautiful.

Dou Huaizhen said: "What His Highness said is very true, look at this situation, Li Longji is not dead but also seriously injured, they have some concerns, so they are deadlocked." According to the minister's intentions, we might as well take the initiative to attack, before the temptation, and then launch an attack, and decide the situation early! ”

Everyone said: "Seconded!" "Seconded ......"

Xue Chongxun stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Erchen was originally the forerunner and played for his mother on the battlefield. ”G
