Chapter 169: The Beginning of the Dawn

The existence of King Qin, to these shadow guards, is like a god high above, and even breathing is an indiscreted existence.

Therefore, Xiao Chen, who is so down-to-earth and empathetic, is really a little surprising, and the night shadow is stunned in place, as if he was frightened.

"Lord, master, what's wrong with the Night Charm?"

"Poof!"

Nan Jinyu couldn't help laughing, sure enough, what kind of master has what kind of subordinates, Xiao Chen has always been cold, so much so that their subordinates think he is an emotionless machine!

"What's wrong with him, you're asking me?"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, his face was a little dark to the naked eye, this guy is really unkind, Fang Cai's concerned appearance, maybe it was his illusion!

"It's the subordinates who have trespassed, the things ordered by His Highness have been done, there were some accidents on the way, and the delay was a little longer, but now it has been resolved, the southwest border army has been surrounded by the Dongchuan New Expeditionary Army, and the general trend of Huainan has been determined, and it can be started."

Nightshade said with a glance, calm and calm despite his confusion, or rather expressionless.

Nan Jinyu silently nodded in her heart, took a cup of tea, sat on the couch in front of the window and sipped it.

The breathing of the night ghost standing outside the door has stabilized, and the pressure in her heart has probably been released these days, but how they will get along afterwards is not a matter for her to consider......

"Why has it been delayed so far?"

Xiao Chen saw that the night shadow was much thinner, his eyes stayed on the shadow outside the door, and said, "Go and change your clothes first, and come back later on official business, everything will go according to the original plan." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Nightshade bowed slightly, and without much thought, she turned and walked out.

Outside the door, the night charm was still standing, and the appearance of breaking down and crying had long since disappeared, and even the bewitching makeup on his face seemed to have been repaired, but a pair of seductive eyes were still red, and he was silent when he came out.

"Gone."

Nightshade thought he was in a daze and tugged down his sleeve.

"What?"

Nightglow pursed her lips and turned her gaze to the other's hand, not slapping his paw away after all.

"Take me back to my room, you're familiar here!"

Night Shadow couldn't help but pull the person in front of him, and the thug stretched out and half-held the Night Charm away, leaving Xiao Chen and Nan Jinyu in the room who were shocked again.

"These two ...... Questions! ”

Xiao Chen was a little amazed, his eyes stayed on Nan Jinyu's extremely meaningful face, and the words were still quite tactful.

After all, they are all teenagers he watched grow up, and he knows very well what his nature is, and he is somewhat embarrassed to say it, I hope they can all be well.

"What does Your Highness think is the problem?"

Nan Jinyu blinked, looking like she didn't understand what you were talking about, but the smile on her face was full of bad intentions.

"Probably a matter of brothers' grudges?"

Xiao Chen saw her smiling like a fox, so he started joking, and the pain and haze of the days disappeared.

"It's really the same as what heroes see......"

Nan Jinyu chuckled and turned her gaze out the window.

The clouds on the horizon gradually dispersed, and the gloomy weather that had lasted for many days showed signs of clearing.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Yebai and Tsing Yi have been guarding the West City Gate for more than ten days, and after the displaced people dispersed, the difficulties of Luoxian County were basically on the control of the epidemic, so they always maintained their vigilance and did not dare to relax at all.

"White Guard, what do you see in the distance? Is the flock so fast? ”

Guarding Zhang held a Western monocular bought by a Persian merchant and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Flock?"

Ye Bai turned his face slightly, his gaze stayed on the smoke-filled horizon, and his complexion changed drastically, "Prepare for war urgently!" Enemies are coming! ”

"Prepare for war!"

Before he could feel the pain, he got up from the ground and ran down the wall stacks, driving the dozing soldiers forward.

Tsing Yi's expression also changed a few times, and he turned around and ordered the shadow guard by the door, "Go back to the city to spread the news, there is an enemy attack, and there are many people!" ”

"Yes!"

The guards flew and disappeared into the city gates, and galloped down the streets of Luoxian on horseback.

What Captain Zhang saw was not a flock of sheep at all, it was the heavily armored cavalry that was flooded with smoke and dust, and there were many people following behind, and there was no end in sight.

There is no standing army in Luoxian at all, not to mention tens of thousands of Huainan troops, even if there are only a few thousand, the city gate of Luoxian is also vulnerable.

"What is going on here? The Huainan Army arrived earlier than expected. ”

Tsing Yi frowned, facing this battle for the first time, he was somewhat unconfident in his heart.

"The city gate can't be broken, no matter what the other party does, we have to resist ......"

Yebai glanced at her, her tone was not as relaxed as her usual laughter, and she didn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy.

He was singled out of the dark guard camp at the age of ten because of his boldness, and it was not once or twice that he followed His Highness to fight in the north, and it was okay to bluff people in such a battle, but if he really faced the army, he was actually vulnerable.

It's just that he can't say such things to Tsing Yi, because they are isolated at the moment!

"How is this going to ......?"

Tsing Yi pursed his lips, knowing that they had encountered hard bones.

The people behind the scenes let the Huainan army successfully encircle Luoxian so quickly, the purpose is naturally self-evident, I want to take advantage of the ability to fight back here, to strangle them here in one fell swoop, what about the future court, just make up a reason to confuse the past, after all, the law does not blame the public.

"I don't know."

Yebai shook his head, seeing that her face had turned pale, obviously frightened, remembering the first time he saw the battlefield, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

"Hmm."

Tsing Yi glanced at him, reached out and held his hand, as he had done countless times before, holding hands and no longer being afraid, what was facing the wheel.

"First round! Prepare for ......"

Captain Zhang had already run around the city wall, dispatching the few hundred city guards to the front, and the neat bows and arrows had already been set up on the battlements of the city wall.

"Wait!"

Yebai was stunned for a moment, his gaze stayed on the person who came before, and raised his hand slightly.

The archers slowed down, and the horses in front of them had reached fifty meters below the city.

"The Huainan Army is here again! The coach asked, why has the gate of Luoxian County been closed for a long time? Is the Southern Patrol Chin Cha in the city? Please ask His Royal Highness King Qin to come out and explain! ”

The general's voice sounded rough and noisy, and his face was very bluffing, but he just shouted a few words, and he panted, and he was a showman!

"Where do the Huainan military officials belong? What is the name of the teacher? His Royal Highness King Qin, can you see him when you want to see him? If you want to see His Royal Highness the King of Qin, send your commander out, burn incense and bathe and hand over the name post, and see you in the city in three days! ”

Yebai replied cynically, and his neutral voice sounded annoying, and it was also very humiliating.

The other party is just a hairy boy, can he speak on behalf of King Qin? How much does this despise their 30,000 brothers?

"Presumptuous! How did you have the audacity to lie like this? His Royal Highness the King of Qin is obviously infected with the epidemic and his life and death are uncertain, Luo County has closed the city gate for several days since the county order was captured, if it were not for the wisdom of the commander of my Huainan Army, he summoned all the brothers to come to rescue the people of Luo County from fire and water, and other unknown juniors do not know what will happen to Luo County! ”

The people who came forward to shout were really arrogant, relying on the 30,000 troops behind them who surrounded the east and west gates of Luoxian, and did not take Luoxian County, which had been without news for many days, in their eyes.

In the eyes of their Huainan Army, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Qin is terminally ill and is about to die, even if he is still alive and well, in the face of such a tiger and wolf army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the power to return to heaven!

"In the lower official residence from the fourth grade, the guard with a knife in front of the royal guard, I haven't heard of what the Huainan Army is, but your shouting posture reminded me! Anyone who dares to come to Luo County will implicate three generations of the three clans according to the law, Huainan Army, right? If you have the guts, you can come out and slip around! ”

Yebai raised his voice to make sure that the big-headed soldiers behind him could hear clearly.

Most of the soldiers in the mainland have never even been on the real battlefield, let alone cowardly, even if they are bold, there are only a few who do not want to die and do not care about their families.

Sure enough, as soon as Yebai's words came out, he saw that the Huainan army, which was loose and chaotic, broke out again, chaotic like a flock of sheep that had been driven by someone, and retreated in the face of the real tiger wolf.

"Three days ago, there were unscrupulous people who led the troops to come, and found cattle infected with the epidemic in the Huai River, His Royal Highness the King of Qin ordered the city to be closed, and the Huainan Army was not only nameless, but also a group of scattered sand dragons without a leader, rather than tossing around here, it is better to go home quickly, so as not to lose your head and affect your family......"

Zhang Shouwei's long words were serious, in stark contrast to Yebai's arrogance, but he just spoke to the hearts of many people.

One white-faced and the other red-faced sang wonderfully, Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back and prepared to leave, not wanting a new situation to appear outside the city again. Let's read a book

"My lord said it, don't listen to their nonsense, and directly attack the city and declare war!"

The people behind saw that the first ride was dumbfounded, and then scolded and scolded Ling, Hao Ran was Lord Xu who was cheated once that day!

Three days ago, the King of Qin sent people to burn down their camp, causing them to lose face in the Huainan area, waiting for the supplies from Luo County, and almost starved to death when they fled to the surrounding county seats......

In this way, the new feud and the old hatred that King Qin directly tied up his eldest brother and third brother together can't be solved!

"Declare, declare war?"

The previous guard hesitated, after all, it was a big sin for the three clans.

They thought that His Royal Highness the King of Qin had died, so they took the opportunity to fight the autumn wind, and the silver in the name of disaster relief was sent back in parts, which was enough for them to eat and drink well for a few years, and no one wanted to come and die in a foreign country with their heads!

"If you don't declare war, do you think King Qin will let you go? The Huainan army has no name since its division, if it can't take Luoxian, and wait until the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, how can you explain the situation here? Misunderstanding? ”

Lord Xu squinted, and the big knife in his hand was already arrogantly revealed.

He is not the kind of sycophant who only praises Shangfeng like Lord Zhu, the four of them rely on the big knife in their hands to live, and now they are just returning to their old business, after making this achievement, the eldest brother and the third brother will come back in a good name, and they will continue to be the parents and officials of this county!

"Yes, yes...... Lord Xu goes up first, and then how about giving you your highness? ”

The lieutenant was a little flustered, but when he thought of the commander who was sitting in the back, he simply felt a chord.

This time, I don't want to fly, but I want to get out!

"Rush! For the sake of the people of Luo County, in order to save Luo County from being manipulated by villains, the brothers will give it to me! ”

Lord Xu led the people to rush forward, seemingly chaotic, but the siege vehicle made a rumbling sound, revealing a long-planned plan.

On the city wall, the archers defending the city had already set up the strings, but they did not release the arrows at the first time, but waited for everyone to arrive at the city, and then slowly aimed the arrows at the siege vehicles gathered outside the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Captain Zhang gave an order, and neat arrows flew towards the city, and the soldiers who were looking for a fight for glory all fell down one by one in astonishment, blood splashed everywhere, and instantly stained a large area of the city wall.

"Hiss...... Grandma's Bear Drop! Isn't this old man guarding the city crazy? ”

Some acquaintances hesitated, looked at the colleagues who died tragically in the city, and hesitated.

It was not difficult for the 30,000-strong army to break through the city gate of Luoxian County, but they didn't expect that the people inside would resist, and they still used such fierce and cruel means.

"The Huainan Army will be punished for attacking Luoxian!"

Ye Bai raised his hand slightly, and the second group of archers and the third group of archers had already stepped forward, their faces were so cold that they didn't have any emotion, like a cold killing machine.

"Who are you from?"

Lord Xu knew that he was not an opponent, so he retreated slightly, trying to let others continue to attack the city.

But as long as the city gate is missed, taking Luoxian County is just a matter of an eye, just one or two masters, what are you afraid of!

"Yebai under the command of King Qin, when grandpa fought with the Changsheng army in the north, all of you were still nursing at home!"

Yebai squinted slightly, and his arrogant momentum was very annoying, as if he was provoking the other party to attack the city.

Some of the timid and thoughtful ones could not help but retreat, because the system was loose and there was no formal army discipline, and it was only a formation, and most of them retreated, and even more turned their horses and prepared to run away.

"Night White Boy, Xu Tianming remembers you! When the city gate is broken, Xu Tianming will personally take your head! Rumors confuse the public and dare to deceive the world and steal the name of the King of Qin, and your nine clans will not be able to keep it! ”

Xu Tianming finished speaking triumphantly, and glanced back at the fourth child who followed closely behind him, and with a wave of his big hand, a new siege vehicle stepped forward.

"I don't want to live early! You are all one by one, you are full of food and support to send people to death, you are so greedy and brainless, and you are not wronged to be a ghost! ”

Yebai shook his head, raised his hand and waved violently, and the second group of archers released their arrows in unison.

Tsing Yi, who was very nervous at the beginning, stood by the city wall with burning eyes at the moment, but did not hold a sword in his hand, but changed to a spear, looking at the heroic posture quite a bit of style.

"We only have three batches of bows and arrows."

"I know......"

Seeing that her tone had softened a lot, Yebai turned his head and smiled at her, with a full innocence on the baby's face, and he was like the arrogant young man before.

"What then? They came prepared, and there must be more than that. ”

Tsing Yi frowned and clenched the spear in his hand.

"Shh......h

Yebai made a silent gesture, and the besieging soldiers under the city died again under the arrows, but the difference was that the splashes of blood glowed and fell on the corpses and horses with a sizzling sound.

"It's ......"

Tsing Yi's face was slightly pale, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the rumored thing that the girl had killed three additional masters with a sword that day.

These people are miserable...... But it is more than innocent!

"Isn't Mr. Hundred Poison here? The poisonous lady also arrived the day before yesterday, and she has no troops to do something about these, and she is not tired of cheating. ”

Yebai patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, but her expression did not change at all.

"Well, it's not a pity that they're dead."

Tsing Yi bowed slightly, and in a short moment, he had already accepted this fact.

If the city is broken, what awaits them is still slaughter, and those who die don't even have a proper name, and they have to bear the black pot for others after death......

"Poisonous!"

"Help......"

"Wow, it's scary!"

Before the distant guards could get closer, they ran back like crazy and ran into the soldiers rushing behind them, and for a while they were on their backs.

"Villain! How dare you poison it? Aren't you afraid of being infamous through the ages? ”

Lord Xu was shocked, after all, the three additional masters they sent out were killed under the strange poison of the Qin King's advisors, if they came prepared, the siege of the city could not be forced.

"Isn't it your Huainan Army with a black heart? There is also a face to say that others are villains! ”

Yebai replied lazily, and with a wave of his big hand, he saw that the third group of archers had stepped forward, and the second batch of archers who pushed down were added behind, and it seemed that there were many people, but there were no bows and arrows.

"Removal ......"

Xu Tianming's expression changed greatly, and he ordered a retreat with palpitations, and the troops from more than ten states and counties came, and it was not always them who took the lead!

"This is withdrawn? Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before leaving? ”

Yebai yawned, arrogantly raised the flag in his hand, and planted it on the top of the city, on which was a huge Qin character.

“……”

Xu Tianming was shocked, knowing that this was a hard stubble, no matter what happened to King Qin's epidemic, it would be impossible for them to enter the city easily, so they also had a plan in their hearts.

"A rabble can't do anything!"

In the big tent of the Huainan Army, there was an angry voice, but it didn't sound very real.

"Your Highness is angry, these people are all gathered, and it is not too late for us to discuss how to attack the city in the long run......"

Lord Zhu accompanied the smiling face, and his eyes turned very quickly.

I thought that the big people behind the scenes would send people here as before, but I didn't want to come in person this time, otherwise they, the local officials, would not dare to come and strangle the god of war, King Qin, after eating the bear's heart and leopard guts!

"Humph! Retreat 500 meters and camp on the spot, ready for a night attack. ”

In the main tent, the man lying in the chair moved slightly, and turned his face with disdain and mockery.

No soldier dares to come to Huainan? Xiao Chen is really stupid if he doesn't fight some days!

"Withdrawn?"

Tsing Yi looked at the Huainan army that was rapidly retreating, but he did not relax at all.

"It's just for the time being, send the message back, and the enemy will most likely attack at night." Ye Bai said, his back was already soaked.

"I don't have to, I know."

A cold voice came from behind him, and a silver figure immediately appeared on the top of the city, followed by a night shadow that had not been seen for many days.

"Your Highness!"

Yebai happily stepped forward and saluted, but was set aside by the night shadow, and a little disgust appeared on Poker's face, "Speak well, don't get started." ”
