Like a big dream, Ye Ji woke up with his eyes open, in the shaky and dim carriage, there was the sound of ruts and horses' hooves trampling outside the car, he could understand that it was on the way to flee from the abandoned capital, he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know what had happened before the abandonment of the capital, so he could only open his mouth to ask the haggard and pitiful Jade Concubine.

Concubine Yu didn't dare to tell him the cruel facts, the news of the destruction of the Dengzhou Navy Division and the tearing of the sea defense line came, so the emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma, I really don't know how the emperor would be stimulated if the two battles of Jinhai and Fenghe were miserable and had to withdraw from Yanjing, so he only said: "It's messy, the slave concubine doesn't understand very well, the emperor is unconscious, first the queen mother is in charge, and the three princes came from Jinan and led a group of princes and ministers to preside over the overall situation." At this time, I am going south, listen to the meaning of the princes, if I can't go to Taiyuan, I will borrow the road from Jinnan to Guanzhong......"

Hearing that Ye Ji Duodi was presiding over the situation, Ye Zier relaxed a little, thinking that the situation was not so bad, and wanted to ask a few more things, but he felt short of breath and short of heart, with his physical condition that he had just woken up, he really couldn't think about military politics anymore......

Concubine Yu was afraid that the emperor would fall ill again, so in addition to asking the imperial doctor to come over to check Yezier's pulse, she only let the forbidden camp all Tan Daocheng get in the car to see him; Ye Zier was not exhausted, and he didn't ask Tan Daocheng much about anything, but just asked him to send someone to summon Ye Jiduodi.

Under the pressure of the Huaidong Army, thirty or forty thousand people want to flee south from Yanjing City, it is impossible, they can only be dispersed into several batches of emergency southward escape, and the five thousand elite horsemen who escort Ye Jier and Yufei to flee south are almost one of the few elites that Dayan can master in Yan Ji, and Ye Ji Duodi himself led more than 10,000 horses to the rear of the army to delay the pursuit of the Huaidong Army.

At the corner of the day, probably when the convoy entered the territory of Luan County from the north, Ye Jiduodi caught up from behind. The convoy here couldn't stop, and Ye Jiduodi didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so he got into the car directly, and Concubine Yu just curled up in the corner of the carriage.

The curtain of the car was lifted, the light in the carriage was not bad, and the jade concubine saw that the left half of Ye Jiduodi's clothes and armor were stained with blood, and the left shoulder was still wrapped in a wound, she was shocked, and thought: Have the people and horses behind the palace already fought with the Huaidong army?

Ye Zier didn't understand the situation anymore, but when he saw Duo Dysprosium coming with a shoulder injury, and he also knew that the situation was unimaginably bad, he didn't ask anything, and he felt that his heart and blood were surging, and he was almost suffocated......

Ye Jiduodi hurriedly called the imperial doctor to squeeze into the car, Ye Zier shook his head, and said angrily: "How bad is the situation, don't hide it from me anymore......"

Before nightfall, Zhang Gou, the left wing commander of the Huaidong Army, led his troops to cross the Weihe River in Weihejin, and he led the soldiers and horses behind the palace to intercept desperately. Although it temporarily repelled the intention of the Huaidong army to cross the river from Weihejin, the entire palace soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, in addition, the Huaidong horse infantry army had already occupied Yanjing, and a cavalry chased south along the west bank of the Weihe River.

At this time, there seemed to be no movement on the road ahead, and it was very quiet, but the quieter it was, the more Ye Ji Duodi felt that the road ahead was hiding a danger that they could not predict at this time.

Before the war, the Western Temple Supervisor discovered that the Huaidong faction had a large number of people infiltrating the Taihang Mountain, which should be to contact and organize the resistance forces in the Taihang Mountain. Although the resistance forces of Taihang Mountain were weak, it was impossible for them to make no moves at all when Dayan's thistle situation collapsed. There is always extra silence before the storm, and Ye Jiduodi can't help but wonder at this time: Is it wrong for him to choose to flee south?

Ye Jiduodi told Ye Zier about all the things that had happened in the past month since the destruction of the Dengzhou Naval Division-Ye Zier only heard the cunning pain in his heart for a while, and he was drenched in hot sweat, and when he knew that he had dragged it until the Fenghe fiasco, he abandoned the capital and fled south, Ye Zier couldn't help it anymore after all, and spewed out a mouthful of blood from his feet, dyeing the corner of the bedding red and dazzling......

Ye Zier had run out of oil and lamps, and the needles and medicines were unable to continue his life, so the imperial doctor Ling Ma Fengchun finally made Ye Zier not pass out again, but he could only keep his last sanity. At this time, the carriage and horses stopped, Ye Jiduodi looked at the front of the car suspiciously, and saw the forbidden camp Du Tan Daocheng lift the curtain and walked in, and asked, "Why did it stop, what happened?" ”

"The outpost has found signs of movement in the southwest flank!" Tan Daocheng stood outside the car and said.

Ye Jiduodi knew that what he was worried about had finally come, but he didn't expect the Taihang Mountain Resistance Army to let go of the Queen Mother's carriage and horses that passed by the front team, and only jumped out until now......

Ye Jiduodi frowned, and said to Tan Daocheng: "You assemble the cavalry on the right front flank, if the Taihang bandits jump out to intercept the road, they will be ...... killed."

The 5,000 forbidden cavalry in the middle road is the last elite cavalry of Dayan in the Yanji region, all of whom were born in the early years of the king's tent army; Although the number of Taihang bandits is not too small, they nest in the Taihang Mountains all the year round, and there is a shortage of armor and swords, and they can't wrap their stomachs and cover their bodies with food, so how strong can they be in combat?

In Ye Jiduodi's view, compared to the Taihang bandits who may jump out to block the road, the elite of the Huaidong Army's horse infantry army chasing closely behind is a deadly existence.

Ye Ji Duodi asked Tan Daocheng to prepare for a strong attack in the engagement, and he didn't want to delay much time on the road for this, so that the Huaidong Army pursuers behind him would take the opportunity to shorten the distance.

Tan Daocheng took the order and left, assembled the cavalry on the front flank, and prepared to charge, and the carriages and horses on this side did not stop, but just suppressed the speed and slowed down - after the main elite of the Huaidong Army followed, they could not be allowed to delay time at all.

Yezier asked someone to lift the curtain of the car, leaned weakly on the arms of the jade concubine, looked at the green mountains and green forests outside the car, and soon there was a noisy sound of people and horses in front, and the sound of the horse's hooves speeding up the cavalry was also very clear - as if the more and more rapid rainstorm was coming to cover the face.

The jade concubine asked Ye Zier to lean on her arms, and she leaned against the wall of the carriage, listening to the majesty of the horse team's charge, the earth trembled slightly, and other women would also be frightened by the charge of blood and fire, and she couldn't help but sound in her heart: Dayan's cavalry was so sharp, how could it be so completely defeated?

I heard someone in front of me coming: "The battle is engaged, the Taihang bandits don't know what to do, pull people to the edge of the gallop, and intercept our ...... in the open field."

Before these words fell, she heard a muffled thunder sound coming from the ground one after another-Concubine Yu didn't know what was going on, so she saw Ye Jiduodi frozen there as if she had been hit by thunder, and her muscles and bones seemed to be stiffened the moment she heard the thunder, and she never relaxed!

"This is the Huaidong Fuhuo crossbow?" In a voice that was too weak to be heard, Yezier asked Yezido inquiringly.

Ye Jiduodi nodded desperately, he thought that even if he robbed the Taihang bandits, it was not enough to worry, when he heard a tight shelling, he knew that he was too wrong, but there was no room for him to turn back when he was so wrong.

The Taihang bandits, who were equipped with ambush fire crossbows, were definitely not the miscellaneous soldiers he had imagined......

It seemed that this question had exhausted all his strength, and his head was tilted down, and there was a trace of breath left in his nasal cavity.

*******************

The first to enter the battlefield was the Luo Shoushan Division of the First Brigade of the Taihang Mountain Independent Town Division, which entered a shallow ditch and lined up, forcing this galloping road across Zhending Mansion from the right flank, which was also the main passage for the captives to retreat south from Yanjing. The shallow ditch is waterlogged, but three or five feet deep, not enough to block the impact of the captive horse, but it is better than nothing; In addition, on both sides of the shallow ditch, countless criss-crossing wires were urgently pulled out to cushion the impact of the captive horse.

Later, when the main force of the Huaidong Army was pursuing, the captives who fled south in a hurry did not have enough time to choose a battlefield that was more favorable to them, so they could only break through from the front.

In fact, as long as the Taihang Mountain Independent Town Division can drag the captives fleeing south for half a day and drag the main force of the Huaidong Army behind to catch up, it will be a victory.

After the twenty light guns were dragged directly into the shallow ditch, and before the muzzles were adjusted, the front wings of the captive cavalry began to charge, and more than a thousand captive cavalry formed a huge cone and pierced straight over, spreading nearly two miles wide. Just as the horse's hooves in front of him stepped into the shallow ditch, the first cannon was ignited and fired, and the lead shot sprayed enveloped the current horsemen, beating them beyond mask, and the war horse was not killed immediately, or fled sideways, or fell into the shallow ditch, splashing muddy water - the rather large war horse, the momentum did not decrease, and suddenly fell to the ground, and the huge force suddenly broke the barbed wire several times......

The rest of the artillery guns were fired after him, forming a barrage like a huge stream of steel, tearing a gap in the front wing of the captive cavalry made of flesh and blood, and the front wing concentrated the bombardment of twenty artillery pieces at such a close distance, and nearly a hundred horsemen and horses were killed or maimed, and the front wing charge line was also broken up in an instant.

Although some captives crossed the shallow ditch from the flank covered by the artillery bombardment, the impact force had been weakened to the extreme, and the number was small, and the generals of the independent town division of Taihang Mountain did not show weakness, and protected the twenty light artillery pieces on the inside with swords, guns, bows and crossbows.

Soon, the 2nd Brigade and 3rd Brigade of the Taihang Mountain Independent Town Division, under the leadership of Wu Jingze, all came out of the mountains and forests ambushed on the flank, crossed the ground more than ten miles deep, and rushed to the battlefield from the right flank, intending to attack the flank of the captives. In the forests at the western foot of the Taihang Mountain, the other two Taihang Mountain Resistance forces of nearly 20,000 people rushed out of the mountain to participate in the interception battle after receiving the notice from Wei Zhonglong and Wu Jingze.

The battle was killed in the afternoon, the Taihang Mountain Resistance Army led by the Independent Town Division, nearly 30,000 horses and horses entered the battlefield north of Yi County, although the soldiers and horses of the palace who fled from the south caught up from Weihejin in the afternoon, but Zhao Bao led the second and third brigades of the first cavalry division to kill from the rear wing, and Zhang Gou had 4,000 elites, and they were also spreading their feet to rush, and the battlefield in the north of Yi County was less than 30 miles......

The Jade Concubine hugged Yezier's already cold and stiff body, and the shouts of the Huaidong Army were so close that you could already hear what they were shouting: "Capture Yezier alive, capture the beautiful Jade Concubine alive......"

Only then did Concubine Yu know that she knew their whereabouts and had already been clear to the ambushed Huaidong Army, otherwise they would not easily let the Queen Mother's convoy pass; She lifted the curtain and saw a group of Huaidong Army generals on the left flank rushing from the diagonal to kill, and the thin cavalry on the left flank was not able to stop for long at all, so it was torn apart and divided into a lone army.

A gust of wind rushed in at the door of the car, and Concubine Yu turned her head sideways to see that it was a bloodied forbidden camp and Tan Daocheng got into the car, she was desperate and didn't want to ask how the battle situation was, so she watched Tan Daocheng carry Ye Zier's body behind her and tie it up with a belt.

"Jade Princess!" Tan Daocheng glanced back and whispered. Concubine Yu's face was so beautiful that he couldn't be ruthless......

"Please General Tan!" Concubine Yu knew that Tan Daocheng and Ye Ji Duodi were scattered to break through, and it was impossible to bring her a burden, and they would not allow themselves to fall into the hands of the Huaidong Army and be humiliated. She straightened her clothes, watched Tan Daocheng pull out the knife, and calmly closed her eyes and waited for him to kill herself.

Maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a long time, but Concubine Yu didn't see the cold blade smearing her neck, but a stream of hot blood splashed on her face first. Concubine Yu opened her eyes, only to see Tan Daocheng turn her head in shock, and a riding spear stabbed him from behind and out of his chest......

***********************

And almost at the same time, a sad cry came from the palace of Jiangning City: "The emperor has died!" ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhang Yan break out of the Qiantai Palace, where Emperor Yongxing was lying down after his illness, and walked around outside the hall with his hair scattered, shouting like crying and laughing as he walked: "The emperor has died!" "The whole person is crazy......

Liu Zhigu, who rushed to hear the news, ignored Zhang Yan, who was crazy, and just ordered the palace attendants to detain Zhang Yan and not let him make trouble, nor did he mean to embarrass the former boss, but went to the palace to see Emperor Yongxing.

Soon, Lin Xuwen, Lin Tingli, Hu Wenmu, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingxuan and others came into the palace and confirmed that Emperor Yongxing had been seriously ill for so long and had not survived today's death......
