Chapter 377: Xiao Jie
The cavalrymen raised their swords in their hands, gave a resounding response, and rode away.
And Zhao Jue also took out a sword, which was the sword that Wu Guo presented to Zhao Jue at the palace banquet, which he named Han Feng.
Xue Liang's sword body left the scabbard inch by inch, but Zhao Jue's eyes at this time were even brighter than the sword body, did the battlefield arouse his memories, or did avenging Zhao Nianting make him feel the responsibility that belonged to his father?
Maybe it's both, he thought.
Zhao Nianting lowered his eyebrows, pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver he was carrying behind his back, and firmly placed it on the bowstring, aiming at the high city wall.
Zheng De watched Zhao Nianting's movements from a distance, stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and even the Huayang cavalry who rushed to the city wall heard it clearly, Zheng De wiped the tears that came out of laughter, I didn't expect Huayang, the old naΓ―ve, the small one is even more naΓ―ve, this is more than a hundred meters away, and he wants to shoot on the city wall?
Zhao Nianting sneered in his heart, his mind was concentrated, and after pulling the string full, he opened it lightly, and the feather arrow rushed out quickly, as if it was riding the wind and quickly went up.
In the end, it hit an archer in the throat, the arrow pierced halfway, and he almost couldn't survive, Zhao Nianting smiled slightly and lowered the hand holding the bow.
Zheng Deyi was stunned, staring at the bow in Zhao Nianting's hand, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, what the hell was this!
No wonder Zheng De was shocked, even if it was Wu Guo's bow and arrow, the range was only maintained at fifty or sixty meters, and Zhao Nianting's hand could be a hundred meters away, not only Zheng De was frightened, but many archers were also frightened, and directly squatted down with their heads in their hands, borrowing the cover on the city wall to protect themselves.
In this defense battle, the safest thing is the archers on the city wall, and now their lives are threatened, and this battle is still a hammer?
Zhao Jue also smiled, this bow and arrow also benefited from Jiang Youxi, there is a prophet in the empire, who is a military fan in modern times, and after becoming a prophet, he knows about retreat every day, and equips the empire with a high-quality composite bow and explosive gunpowder.
Now the prophet didn't know what he could do, so he could only try to make steel, after all, he couldn't make weapons other than he wanted.
The cavalry had already broken through the layers of encirclement and entered the city, startling the people in the houses not far away, closing the doors and windows tightly, and never daring to watch the play again.
A quarter of an hour later, the Pengcheng soldiers surrendered, Zheng De was beheaded on the spot, Zhao Jue sent two or three soldiers back to report the news, and brought the infantry over to be stationed in Pengcheng, and the next thing was their guard.
When the cavalry brought the news, Qi Lan happened to receive the news, and angrily smashed the inkstone to the ground, splashing countless ink spots.
"Is Zheng De an idiot, the soldiers came to the city and opened the city gate! Tell me again how you were defeated! β
"I don't know, it was calm at first, originally our soldiers and Huayang's soldiers were just about to fight, and suddenly someone in Huayang shot the archers on the city wall a hundred meters away, and then it was all chaos." The soldier was still a little scared when he said it, when did Huayang have such a powerful weapon?
The picture of Fang Cai was constantly replaying in his mind at the moment, and the arrow seemed to come like a cloud, and he estimated that the archer did not react, and died directly.
Qi Lan hammered the mahogany table hard, Zhao Jue! How dare you, where did that weapon come from? Wu? Imperial? It's not important, the top priority is to quickly control Zhao Jue.
He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted, "How did that happen! β
The soldier shook a little, and hurriedly replied: "That woman has always been protected by Prince Huayang, but it seems that her legs and feet are not very good. β
Qi Lan was barely satisfied and nodded.
"Your Majesty, it's a big dealβ" Before Qi Lan's anger was fully suppressed, another person pushed open the door of the study and ran in directly.
Qi Lan only felt that her eyebrows were throbbing, and she said angrily: "What's the matter!" He didn't believe that Zhao Jue could rely on the five thousand cavalry to take another city on the premise that the defending general would not be stupid.
"Princess Qi Min has been captured!" A maid knelt down in a panic, her calves trembling uncontrollably, and she felt that she was going to die today.
Qi Lan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she asked slowly, "What did you say?" The maid seemed to hear the sound of Qi Lan's teeth rubbing, and cried out in fear.
"Princess, I heard that the prince of Huayang was coming, and I wanted to go to Pengcheng to take a look from afar, but I didn't expect Pengcheng to fall too quickly, and the princess couldn't leave, and Emperor Huayang sent me back to report the news."
Qi Lan gritted his teeth fiercely, Zhao Jue! Before he could make a move on Jiang Youxi, he detained Qi Min, okay, he really dared to do it!
"Give the order now, and bring Jiang Youxi to me immediately!" Qi Lan kicked the maid to the wall, and she hung down softly, killing with one kick.
The soldier trembled three times and hurriedly ran out.
There was a storm in Qi Lan's eyes, Zhao Jue, you'd better not do anything to Qi Min, otherwise he would lock up Jiang Youxi.
On the first day, he would ask Zhao Jue to withdraw from the Qi State and send Jiang Youxi a complete hand. The next day, he would ask Zhao Jue to hand over Qi Min and send Jiang Youxi half a leg.
In this way, little by little, on the last day, after sending Jiang Youxi's complete heart and a head, what will Zhao Jue think, will he collapse directly?
You forced me, Zhao Jue, no wonder I.
Hongxia patted the clothes on her body, took a deep breath and pushed open the palace door, and lowered her head as soon as she entered, not daring to look at Yun Qiong's figure.
"Master, Pengcheng of Qi has fallen, and the little princess of Qi has also fallen into the hands of Zhao Jue."
Yun Qiong let out a sound quite naturely: "Oh? β
"This Zhao Jue is not bad, it's not a waste, but then Qi Lan should attack Jiang Youxi, sell her well, so that you can keep Qi Guo and shoot Bai Guo's light horse." Yun Qiong stood up from the side of the bed and suddenly opened the heavy curtains that had been closed for many years.
The light, after a full seven years, shone into this empty hall, illuminating Yun Qiong's face that was completely unpowdered.
At this glance, she turned out to be extremely haggard, as if she had been sick for a long time.
"Has Your Majesty said anything lately?" Yun Qiong rubbed her arms with both hands, and the sunlight made her shiver.
Hongxia shook her head and said, "Your Majesty still hasn't been to any concubine's palace recently, and yesterday he also made a tonic soup with his own hands, but unfortunately it was accidentally broken by Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua is now fined and closed." β
Yun Qiong nodded, without any emotion on her face.
"He's infatuated, but unfortunately, I'm no longer Yunqiong."
"Captured Pengcheng in less than an hour, Qi Lan, what are you still doing in a daze?" Qi Zhan was a little angry, this matter can be said to be provoked by Qi Lan, otherwise how could Huayang waste time and effort to attack him Qi State!
Qi Lan was angry, so naturally he wouldn't be kind enough to appease him, and slammed the table with his right hand, hammering out a crack on the tabletop, and said ruthlessly: "Then what is King Jiankang's plan?" If you can say it, I will spare your life, if you can't say it, then go to the front line and charge for me, how about it? β
Qi Zhan swallowed his saliva, forced himself to calm down, and said: "I, of course I have a way, the woman next to Zhao Jue doesn't know anything but medical skills, are you afraid that Zhao Jue won't retreat if you control her?" β
Qi Lan snorted coldly and said, "I have been ready for this matter a long time ago, if you wait for you to come up with it, the Qi Kingdom will be gone a long time ago!" β
Qi Zhan's face suddenly became ugly, but he also knew that Qi Lan was able to kill several people by himself back then, and finally killed his father to get the throne, whether it was his skill or mentality, he was inferior to Qi Lan, and resisting now was tantamount to death.
"If you are prepared, I will go to Fengcheng to appease the people." Qi Zhan dropped a sentence and walked away.
Qi Lan's eyes became darker and darker, could it be a mistake to keep Zhao Nianting in the first place? It actually made Qi Min fall in love...
On the other side, the Huayang Barracks twenty miles away from Qi Guopeng City.
Jiang Youxi hummed a song slowly, slowly grinding the medicinal powder in her hand, although there would be no big casualties in this battle, she always had to prepare for the future war.
"Read, wrap them up." Jiang Youxi flipped his hand, poured the medicine powder on the paper and pushed it to the opposite side, Zhao Nianzhi sealed it with kindness, and tied a solid knot with hemp rope.
And Cao Yong was sitting at the door, surrounded by two or three of Zhao Jue's personal soldiers, and this camp was also surrounded by more than 20 soldiers, no matter who wanted to come in, it was not so easy.
The two or three cavalry rushed back and conveyed the good news of the front, and everyone roared fiercely, knowing that their emperor of Huayang was the strongest.
This joy also spread to Jiang Youxi's tent, she raised her head with a smile and said, "You go out and see, what kind of happy event can make them so excited." β
Zhao Nianzhi responded, and just as he was about to get up, Cao Yong said, "No need." β
Cao Yong lifted the curtain and looked outside, and said: "Your Majesty has conquered Pengcheng, and you want us to transfer the stronghold, the queen will clean up, no one dares to touch you with us." β
"Not only me, but other military doctors should also pay attention to it, protect the grain and grass at the end point, be vigilant before the large army moves, and order the soldiers on patrol to pay attention to the situation." Jiang Youxi put down the small medicine pestle and tied up the medicinal herbs one by one with hemp rope.
Suddenly, Jiang Youxi's hand paused, the medicinal materials here are so complete, then she will prepare that.
The failed product she had studied in the Qi Palace, as long as she touched it, it would be infected with toxins, but her medicinal powder might be wary of many people, so this time it will be made into a better viscous liquid.
"Nianzhi, you go and pack up, our luggage hasn't been touched much, it's easy to tidy up, I have some things to do." Jiang Youxi accurately picked out the original recipe, pulled out another piece of paper and sat down.
