On the third day, the Northern Xinjiang Army launched another attack, Qi Yanzhi quickly laid out, and Zhang Dazhong went into battle. With the experience of winning several battles before, the morale is very high, and as soon as they want to fight, they will rush to the battle like they have been beaten.

"Vice General Zhang, I'll be the striker!"

"Vice General Zhang, I'm also a striker!"

"I'd better come and tell the wounded brother to keep the rear."

Several young people volunteered, Zhang Dazhong ordered a child he usually thought was good, and called him a striker, "Don't fight, everyone on the battlefield is equally useful, it's good to keep your duties, let's go, set off with me to fight!" ”

The Northern Xinjiang Army shouted slogans and rushed out of the camp to meet the provocation of the Fanbang Army, but everyone was dumbfounded before the battle, a woman was tied in front of the Northern Xinjiang Army, who was the fourth princess of the emperor who was not that woman?

"Vice General Zhang, they took the fourth princess as a hostage, saying that they wanted the fourth princess to live and unconditionally hand over the remaining territory in northern Xinjiang, otherwise they would kill the princess and hang it at the city gate."

Zhang Dazhong scolded his mother a few times, "It's so fucking despicable and shameless!" ”

The fourth princess is a princess, as long as the emperor didn't say that he wanted her to die, then everyone has to take care of her life, before the Northern Xinjiang Army was most afraid of the Fanbang people to take the life of the fourth princess to threaten, then they could only compromise, before the war has not seen the four princesses, and thought that the conscience of the Fanbang people found that it was not difficult for the princess, who knew that it was met here.

"You go and ask the military advisor to see what he says, you remember the details, and the provincial military advisor doesn't know if you ask."

"Yes!" The soldier was ordered to go to the big tent to find Qi Yanzhi.

Qi Yanzhi was pondering, and when he heard someone come in, he opened his eyes, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Qi, the Northern Xinjiang Army has taken the fourth princess as a hostage and asks us to withdraw our troops." The soldier said succinctly.

Qi Yanzhi nodded, as expected, Yalutu suddenly sent troops at this time, and he must have come prepared, and the only chess pieces that he could use in his hands were the four princesses.

The fourth princess secretly gave birth to a son to Yarutu, and this matter was not announced to the public, but Qi Yanzhi secretly sent someone to check and got the exact news. Not to mention whether this son was born voluntarily, if Yalutu wanted to use the fourth princess as a bargaining chip, he would have taken it out a long time ago, and he would not wait until now, that is to say, this is obviously a ploy.

Yaletu got a lot of convenience from the four princesses, including the preferences and characteristics of the emperor's princes, including the characteristics of the generals, and even the layout of the capital and the palace, otherwise Yaletu would not have mixed into Beijing again and again.

It can be seen that the fourth princess has a grudge against the Celestial Empire, and it is very likely that she helped Yalutu to be a hostage.

"How to fight and how to fight, tell Vice General Zhang not to have any concerns, I will take responsibility if something happens." Qi Yanzhi said in a steady tone.

The soldier did not hesitate and ran out directly.

This is Qi Yanzhi's usual habit for the generals, no matter what you have in your heart, what the main general Jianjun asks you to do must be executed immediately, and you can't waste time by being smart,

The soldier hurriedly returned to the front line and told Zhang Dazhong what Qi Yanzhi meant, Zhang Dazhong was a little hesitant, after all, the sword has no eyes, and if he can't keep it, he will hurt the fourth princess.

It's just that recently they have become accustomed to listening to Qi Yanzhi's orders and convincing him, so Zhang Dazhong gritted his teeth and immediately commanded the soldiers to meet the battle according to the original plan.

"Don't worry, the Fanbang army is cheating, they don't dare to joke with the princess!" Zhang Dazhong shouted, rushed out first, and shot an arrow at the Fanbang soldiers first, which was directed at a general behind the fourth princess, and also opened the way for the soldiers behind.

When the Northern Xinjiang Army saw that Adjutant General Zhang was not lying, they also put their minds at ease, followed by bows and arrows, and took the initiative to attack.

Dumbfounded is the Fanbang army, they are not here to fight today, because there are four princesses as hostages, it is expected that the other party does not dare to act rashly, I thought that it was easy to wait for the Northern Xinjiang Army to retreat, but I didn't expect them to take the lives of the four princesses into account.

The fourth princess was even more dumbfounded, Qi Yanzhi and Zhang Dazhong actually ignored her?

Could it be that the emperor has given up on her, and has he ignored her life or death?

The fourth princess's idea is too naïve, she betrayed the royal family at the beginning, was full of hatred for her father, Yao Guifei, and helped the people of Fanbang everywhere, and provided a lot of information, but now she feels that the royal family will definitely take care of her life, how can it be so reasonable.

Moreover, even if the emperor wants to protect the four princesses, Qi Yanzhi will not show mercy, this is on the battlefield, it is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it is related to the survival of northern Xinjiang, not to mention the four princesses, even Xie Ruqing can also distinguish the overall situation.

Yalutu hated it so much, he didn't expect Qi Yanzhi to be so ruthless, he was simply a madman!

The Northern Frontier Army went all out, and did not take into account the four princesses who were tied up by five flowers before the battle, but everyone was very numerous, and none of the arrows were aimed at the four princesses, the purpose was just to make the Northern Frontier Army give up using the four princesses as bargaining chips, after all, if Yalutu didn't want to kill the four princesses, she would definitely be sent away from the battle.

How do you know that Yalutu didn't, the fourth princess was terrified in the face of the arrows that kept shooting, after all, the sword had no eyes, even if it was not aimed at her, it was inevitable that there would be a mistake, and she was already panicked in her heart.

But this is not the time to give up, she knows that Yalutu is gambling, the two armies are fighting, whoever carries it first will win, the Northern Xinjiang Army thinks that the Fanbang soldiers are cheating, and the Fanbang soldiers think that the Northern Xinjiang Army is making a show, and both sides think that the other party does not dare to really ignore the life of the fourth princess.

It's just that she pity the fourth princess, countless arrows and crossbows flew in front of her, she didn't dare to move, she was almost scared, but the northern army that controlled her kept moving around, and sometimes even hid behind the fourth princess and used her as a shield.

The battle continued to stalemate, the four princesses were still tied to the front of the battle, and the Northern Xinjiang Army became more and more courageous, forcing the Fanbang soldiers to retreat. Yaletu rushed to the front of the battle and fought at close range with a group of Northern Xinjiang troops, these Northern Xinjiang troops are all elite, and they are very difficult to deal with.

Just as he was engaged with all his strength with his two soldiers, an arrow came from diagonally behind, and Yarutu was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged sideways, his body almost parallel to the horse's back. However, after dodging one arrow and several more arrows, Yalutu was not embarrassed.

The subordinates around him were shocked when they saw this, and his savior was so anxious that he dragged the fourth princess, who was a hostage, to the third prince, thinking that the Northern Xinjiang Army would take care of the lives of the four princesses, so they didn't dare to do anything to the third prince.

He put the four princesses on the horse, and commanded the horse to run to Yalutu's side, as long as she interfered, the northern army did not dare to act rashly, how to know the inch, the four princesses resisted more strongly, crying and scolding, she moved around on the horse, the horse was frightened and ran away, so that she could not die and hit an arrow, the fourth princess was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and screamed in pain.

"You deserve death!" She was still scolding the bastard who pushed her out, "You dare to joke with my life, the third prince won't spare you, the Celestial Empire won't spare you, ah, the third prince help, I hurt so much!" ”

She said that all she said was how the third prince cherished her, and it did not mean that she really wanted to take her hostage, and said that the emperor loved her the most, and if someone wanted her life, the emperor would definitely ask him to pay the price.

It turns out that the soldiers are really just cheating!

Yaletu scolded this woman for being stupid in his heart, he saw that she was still of some use, so he reluctantly kept her by his side, as long as she was smart enough to cooperate, it wasn't that she couldn't keep it all the time, who knew that she would be bad for him!

The Northern Frontier Army didn't care about it now, the arrows and crossbows kept coming, and Yalutu was almost hit by an arrow several times, but in a hurry, he directly dragged the fourth princess to himself to help him block the arrows.

The fourth princess soon became a target for arrows, and she looked back at Yalutu in disbelief, this was the man she loved, and he actually used her to block arrows? "Yarutu? You...... You're ......."

Her eyes were dilated, and she could no longer say the next words, but her eyes refused to close, as if she was dead.

"Useless stupid woman, do you really think that you are irreplaceable, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death, don't worry, your son I will stay, you can go on the road."

Yaletu blocked the dead four princesses at the point, while ordering the Fanbang army to retreat, the Northern Xinjiang army pursued by victory, beating the water dogs, Zhang Dazhong for a shame, biting the Fanbang soldiers, actually pursued all the way to the valley.

"Why, Vice General Zhang still dares to come?" Yalutu deliberately stimulated Zhang Dazhong, also to scare him and make him retreat, "This valley is a nightmare for you Central Plains people, no one can escape from here, didn't your Nine Emperor Princes die here, you almost saw the king of Hades at the beginning." ”

Zhang Dazhong was not stimulated by him, "Don't give Lao Tzu this set, Lao Tzu can go out from here once and go out countless times, even if you can't get out, you have to ask for your little life first!" ”

This time the situation is different from the last time Yu Ning took risks, these days the Northern Xinjiang Army is not idle, Qi Yanzhi secretly sent troops to survey the route and environment of the valley, they drew a detailed map of the valley, and then Qi Yanzhi customized the defense and attack plan, teaching them how to fight in such a place.

The valley is no longer a nightmare for the Fanbang army, not to mention that this time there are enough men and horses, morale is high, and Zhang Dazhong has full confidence to defeat Yalutu.

Although the Fanbang soldiers are brave, they are not as strong as the Northern Xinjiang Army, they just rely on their understanding of the terrain, and the previous generals are a waste, so they have conquered the city all the way. And the successive victories have made them fluttering, thinking that the Celestial Empire has no generals who can handle it, there are many people but they are not fine, and they are not the same as the excellent Fanbang soldiers.

The light enemy plus attrition, plus the more places occupied, the more scattered troops, so the advantage of the Northern Frontier Army is gradually shrinking.

It is precisely because of this that Yalutu wants to use the side door to win, but now the side door and the left side are not good, so they can only carry it.

Zhang Dazhonghao was merciless, chasing Yale to fight, and even the Fanbang soldiers who were ambushed here in advance were dug out by the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the battle circle gradually shrank, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was like a water dog, leaving only the share of fleeing in a hurry.

Yalutu was very cunning, and used the people around him to block arrows several times, so he escaped under the cover of many people, but he was hit by several arrows, and there were not a few soldiers left, tens of thousands of soldiers went out, and only a few hundred people went back, which was a huge blow to Fanbang.

The Northern Xinjiang Army won a battle, everyone sang war songs in triumph, and after returning to the camp, everyone shouted and drank wine at night to celebrate.

Qi Yanzhi was also relieved to learn that Zhang Dazhong had returned from the victory, as long as he repelled Yalutu, that state would not be a basis.

"It's a pleasure!" Although Zhang Dazhong was injured, he couldn't hide his excitement, "I finally got a breath of bird, but it's a pity for the fourth princess." ”

Qi Yanzhi had already heard that the fourth princess was dead, and he had to explain this matter to the emperor, otherwise if the emperor blamed him, he would probably implicate others.

"You don't have to take this responsibility on yourself." Zhang Dazhong said, "Everyone's eyes can see clearly, it was Yalutu who used her to block arrows regardless of the life and death of the fourth princess, and our people didn't aim at her at all, and the emperor blamed Yalutu if he wanted to blame." ”

That being said, Qi Yanzhi still had to be cautious about this matter.

"After this battle, we can breathe a little sigh of relief, at least we can drive the Fanbang soldiers out of the northern Xinjiang first, they are not strong enough, their living habits are limited, and they are not enough to support such a large territory, in order to reduce losses, they will definitely take the initiative to withdraw." Qi Yanzhi said, "I'm going to pick up someone tomorrow, and if I don't tell you who to pick up, you will definitely have a surprise." ”

"Pick up who?" Zhang Dazhong was really interested, "Is it a woman, oops, we have been in northern Xinjiang for several months, and we haven't seen a woman for a long time." ”

Qi Yanzhi laughed, "Why don't you go with me tomorrow and ask him face to face?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Dazhong slapped his thigh, "I am indispensable for this matter." ”
