Chapter 491: Injuries
A large number of black-armored soldiers poured into the imperial city, and the city gates were opened wide to welcome the arrival of the invaders.
Xia Jingnian slammed the table, waking up the headless fly-like courtiers below. The prince disappeared, the vassal king seized power, and at this time, the ministers who were spitting lotus flowers on weekdays were silent, and they were waiting for Xia Jingnian to speak.
"There must be a traitor in the palace and a thief from the king of Yanbei, and now I don't have time to find out who this person is. What King Yanbei wants is my position, which has nothing to do with the people of the capital, if he orders the slaughter of the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. General Wang mobilized all the soldiers in Beijing to defend against the enemy. Remember, don't hurt innocent people. ”
General Wang clenched his fists and immediately went down to gather the soldiers.
Outside the city gate, the northern army of Yanbei pressed the city, and some of them had entered the capital to explore the situation. The king of Yanbei stood in front of the army, dressed in armor, since he came today, he didn't think about returning empty-handed, tens of thousands of war horses and horses' hooves collapsed behind him, and he shouted loudly: "The soldiers of Yanbei!" The blade has been unsheathed, and this battle will not be won! ”
Above the court, the generals had already led the troops to leave, and only Xia Jingnian was still sitting alone on the dragon chair. His gaze was far-reaching, and he looked at the half-open palace door for a long time, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
The eunuch who was waiting in front of the palace had been waiting by the side for a long time, and he couldn't wait for Xia Jingnian to come back to his senses, so he reminded thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, the armor has been prepared, General Wang is on standby in front of the palace, and the emperor is asked to go up to the apse to change clothes." ”
Xia Jingnian sighed, but decided to follow the eunuch to the apse to change clothes, and just opened the winter curtain hanging at the door, and saw Ji Qiang waiting behind the door.
"You go down first." Ji Qiang said to the eunuch.
"Yes." The eunuch bowed and retreated, and there were only two people in the hall of the council that was wandering for a while.
"What about Yu Xuan? When the war is over, will he still be alive? Ji Qiang's tone was calm, and she looked straight at Xia Jingnian.
She's gambling, she's waiting, waiting for a result.
"Wait to repel the Yanbei army, I ......"
"I see." Before Xia Jingnian finished speaking, Ji Qiang had already interrupted him. The rest doesn't need to be known, it's all explanations, it's all justification, and it's all excuse yourself.
He chose the throne and did not want a son. This is also understandable, the most ruthless emperor's family, Ji Qiang understands.
"You heard me say that as soon as the war outside the city is over, I will immediately send someone to find ......," Xia Jingnian rubbed his eyebrows and explained.
He looked at Ji Qiang, but he didn't finish his words, it was too late. Ji Qiang lowered her eyes, brushed her sleeves, and left the council hall without looking back. One step at a time, each step is like walking on a drumbeat.
The drumbeat before the war, the war drum that inspires the morale of the army, and the horn before the charge.
"Knock, knock, knock...... Boom...... Boom. ”
Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. The general rode on his horse, the soldier sharpened his halberd, the scimitar of the grassland was buzzing, and the sorrow of the world could not be poured out to the gods.
Xia Jingnian put on the armor of red gold and went out of the city to fight.
Suddenly, a fire burned from Chengtianmen, and the people were in a mess, and suddenly screams began to sound in the city. General Wang had to first calm down the chaotic people's feelings, the child fell to the ground, and the adults did not know where they had gone.
The soldier at the end helped the child up, he patted the dust off the child's body, and was about to ask the child whose name was and where he lived. When he looked up, the battle broke out suddenly.
The soldiers under the city kept bringing water to extinguish the fire, but the fire of Chengtianmen was really strange, and it became more and more prosperous. The wind came from the northwest, blowing a fierce fire, and the wind helped the fire, Xia Jingnian frowned tightly. Good web
Outside the city, King Yanbei looked at the fire, and a figure walked out of the fire.
"Your Majesty, are you still satisfied with my 'burning of red cliffs'?"
Xia Jingnian talked about Neiying in the court, this person has been present, and the king of Yanbei has already contacted him early before this war. According to the news in the palace, the city gate was wide open, and even the Chengtian Gate that is burning now is all done by this person.
King Yanbei smiled and replied: "Naturally satisfied, there is a gentleman to help and this northwest wind to help, now if you don't fight, when will you wait!" ”
He turned back to the young generals beside him and whispered in his ear: "The soldiers who go in first can start." ”
The young general was given the order to enter the city through the corner gate that had just been opened. Before that, a group of soldiers had entered the city, one was to explore the reality of the city; The second is that the inside should be combined with the outside, and the inside and outside should be broken together.
The fire just broke out, the people were in a mess, and the Yanbei soldiers, who had already changed their clothes, took the opportunity to mingle with the ordinary people and hide in the shadows.
"Kill!"
King Yanbei ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to break through the city gate and go straight to the capital.
"Rush!"
General Wang saw that the situation was not right, and Xia Jingnian on the side was in a daze. He didn't care about crossing the line and bullying him, and with an order, the two armies went to war.
The soldier holding the child had just patted the dust off his body, and the next moment, the child in his arms was gone. An arrow crossbow hit the back of the heart, and the young body was pierced in an instant.
Countless black-clothed men appeared from the wind and flames, and countless black shadows surrounded the soldiers in all directions.
The cold light in the hands of the man in black is cold, and the long knife in his hand is sharp, reflecting the white light of the unmelted snow in the city after the Spring Festival, which makes people feel even cooler behind their backs.
The soldiers were concentrating on resisting the attack ahead, and they were caught off guard by being surrounded, and Rao, a battle-hardened warrior, did not have time to react to this sudden change.
General Wang swung his sword to block the attack of the two or three men in black on his side, and his body took a few steps back to distance himself from the two or three men in black, and was about to raise his sword to stab at the flaws of the man in black-
"Dang!"
The sound of Jin Ge's collision, the strength was great, and the blade hummed and whined.
A bow and crossbow came from nowhere in the dark, and went straight to Xia Jingnian's heart. General Wang was fighting with the three or two black-clothed men, and the arrows broke through the air, slashing gold and breaking stones. But in the blink of an eye, it was already close, and the man in black was defeated by the veteran of the battlefield, and he had the upper hand in a few clicks.
He swung his sword to block the arrow crossbow for Xia Jingnian, the war was just, but the emperor was in a daze. General Wang was just about to make a reminder, but the next moment, several arrows were heading towards Xia Jingnian from all directions.
The two of them struggled to block many, countless arrows, mercilessly, until they were fatal. Xia Jingnian had just blocked one of them, and his back was suddenly penetrated, blood gushed out of his chest, and the snow was stained with blood red.
The northwest wind stopped, and suddenly the snow rose flat, and the snowflakes mixed with the strong wind extinguished the fire that had not been extinguished for a long time.
The sky is full of wind and snow, and the ground is red.
The imperial physician who was on the scene hurriedly came to treat him, and first made emergency measures, and the bleeding was stopped. Fortunately, that arrow missed the vital point, and the imperial doctor came in time, and Xia Jingnian's life was finally saved.
