The cold wind pierces the bones, and the moon shadow is miserable. Lu Ziyu rode his horse on the northern wasteland with a tiger's head gun on his back, and there were bursts of stinging pain all over his body.

"Is it cold or not?" Lu Ziyu turned his face sideways and asked with a smile.

"It's not cold, it's our honor to have the opportunity to accompany His Royal Highness." The entourage laughed.

"Okay, this place is desolate, let's find a place to rest after dawn." Lu Ziyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes."

For some reason, Lu Ziyu always felt that Xiao Ping was weird, and His Majesty's holy decree made him feel even more inexplicable.

In fact, the place he wants to go to the most at the moment is the Rinfeng Pass, and the person who wants to see the person who is closest to him most for the rest of his life after the catastrophe is often the person closest to him.

But who would have thought that the killing intent in the territory was even more direct than that from the border gates.

Several arrows flew towards you, "Be careful! Lu Zi hurriedly used a tiger head gun to block the arrow, and when he came back to his senses, the entourage had all been hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and none of them survived.

"Come out! Come out for me! Lu Ziyu, who was furious, roared towards the empty field.

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and a dense row of cavalry blocked Lu Ziyu's way, they turned out to be ...... The Guards.

At that moment, in addition to disbelief, it was incredulous.

"Shizi is so skilled, I didn't expect it...... will also defect from the battle. One of the generals at the head opened his mouth, and his cold words were full of murderous intent.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why release arrows! Lu Ziyu asked angrily.

The general ignored him, he raised his voice and said coldly: "Lu Ziyu escaped from the battle, causing Qinzhou to fall, Your Majesty has a will, correct the law on the spot!" ”

The neighing of the horses pierced the night sky, and the oncoming Royal Forest Army killed every move, and if Lu Ziyu just blindly dodged, he would soon die under the indiscriminate gun.

"Ahh Nameless anger ignited in his chest, and the tiger head gun in his hand pierced the chest of a royal forester, and the whole person was picked up in the air by Lu Ziyu.

Soon, one by one, the Imperial Forest Army fell from their horses, and Lu Ziyu's eyes were extremely red, and the feeling of desperate with his own people was too bad.

But Lu Ziyu was seriously injured after all, and he was bound to not last long if he continued like this, when he was exhausted, he struck left and right to pick up one silver spear after another, and a spear stabbed at his back was about to pierce Lu Ziyu's heart.

It was too late, but it was too soon, and the spear that flew out of nowhere pierced the man directly through the horse's back and nailed him to the ground

When he saw Lu Ziyu turn around and see Shangguan Xunyi rushing in with a team of men and horses, his Adam's apple choked up.

It's worth it to have such a brother in this life.

Shangguan Xunyi and the Beiping army who rushed to the rescue protected Lu Ziyu to the death, no matter who dared to hurt their prince, it would be against the entire Beiping army.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ziyu shouted towards Shangguan Xunyi while facing the enemy.

"Lord Shizi, Qinzhou City...... Lost. Shangguan Xunyi shouted angrily, "When the last general left, he kept an eye on it, and left a few scouts in Qinzhou, but he didn't expect that the last general had just walked halfway, and he received the news that the Imperial Forest Army had retreated and Qinzhou had fallen. ”

"What!" The continuous impact made Lu Ziyu a little in a trance, it seems that there are also spies at the top of the Royal Forest Army, and this person does not hesitate to do things such as false transmission of holy decrees and framing and framing in order to kill himself.

"You dare to go against the Imperial Guards, you are rebellious! It's a rebellion! Kill them all for me, and leave not one behind! The general of the Imperial Forest Army rebuked angrily.

"Quick, you escort the prince to retreat, and you must send the prince back to the wind pass safely!" Shangguan Xunyi shouted.

"I am the Supreme Command! When it's your turn to call the shots! Lu Ziyu said angrily, "The Beiping Army listens to the order, and today it is only allowed to fight to the death, and it is not allowed to retreat!" ”

"Hehe, Shizi Ye, the deputy general who has been sitting by your side for so many years, ...... today Let the last general call the orders once! Shangguan Xunyi smiled at Lu Ziyu.

"Please return to the Wind Pass quickly, Your Highness the Prince! Please return to the Wind Pass quickly! The Beiping troops present also shouted in unison.

"Let me do such a thing as abandoning my brother, unless I die, no one can ......" Before Lu Ziyu finished speaking, he was beaten by Shangguan Xunyi at the opportunity.

"Take the son of the world out quickly!" Shangguan Xunyi roared.

That night, the Beiping army, who hated the same enemy, tore out a hole with their lives, stepped on the snow and saw the opportunity to make a leap and land on Lu Ziyu's back to rush to the encirclement. Escorted by more than ten horsemen, he disappeared into the night.

But the remaining hundred or so horsemen can no longer go out, Shangguan Xunyi shrugged his shoulders, and a wry smile crossed the corner of his mouth, for him, it is more important than anything else to be able to save the prince, as for this life, when did the man who stepped on the war horse take it to heart.

The sword has no eyes, and the blood moon is like a song. One after another soldiers of the Beiping Army fell from their horses and died tragically under the chaotic hooves of the horses, and more than ten spears stabbed at Shangguan Xunyi together, and the mace in his hand fell heavily to the ground......

Falsely passing on the holy decree and intercepting and killing Lu Ziyu, the people sent by Zheng Guan secretly had already gone around in circles in the north, but Mu Zhice, who had just woken up from his sleep, didn't know anything.

"Palace, have we started to enter the northern realm now?" As soon as the sky was cold, Mu Zhice put on heavy armor and looked at the picture on the table seriously.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, we just left Xianggu Pass yesterday, and we are at the southernmost point of the northern border at this time." Zheng Guan said respectfully.

“…… Ziyu must have fought the front line. Mu Zhice's expression faintly revealed a little worry, "Pass the order down and speed up the march." The army must arrive at the Qinzhou front before dawn tomorrow! ”

"Yes. The old minister then ordered to go down. Just when Zheng Guan turned his head to leave.

A Royal Forest Cadet Captain stormed into the tent, "Advance scout is coming!" Qinzhou fell, Lu Ziyu abandoned the city and fled, and the road was unknown. The army of Yuan Su has entered the north, and the three prefectures of Jiang, Cang, and Ping have also been lost, and the two prefectures of Min and Huai have been ...... Hurry! ”

"What!" The sudden bad news greatly surprised Mu Zhice's expectations, "What about the Beiping Army at the Chilling Wind Pass?" Mu Zhice asked eagerly.

"I don't know, the Yuan army has occupied the state capital along the way, and we have lost contact with Rin Feng Pass"

Lu Ziyu ...... How so? Impossible, it is impossible for Lu Ziyu to do such a thing. He must have gone back to Rin Feng Pass to bring reinforcements," Mu Zhice said with a flustered expression.

He didn't believe that Lu Ziyu would do such a thing, but there was actually a certain basis.

He and Lu Ziyu are the same age, although they didn't grow up together, but they also had a lot of experience playing together, Lu Ziyu often entered Beijing with the King of Beiyang when he was young, and for Mu Zhice at that time, this Lu Ziyu, who came from the north, was well-informed, and had a good skill at a young age was the playmate he wanted to see the most.

Later, although they grew up, the position of the East Palace made Mu Zhice less bound by a lot of unavoidable constraints, and Lu Ziyu's gradually shouldered the burden of the Beiping Army, and the two rarely had the opportunity to laugh together again, but the most sincere smile and trust left to each other when they were young were buried deep in each other's hearts and never forgotten.

"Next year's New Year's Eve...... I probably won't be able to come to the capital. ”

"Why?"

"My father said that I was old enough to go to war."

"But you're still young, shouldn't all adults like the palace marshal on the battlefield?"

"I don't know...... This silver slingshot with a hundred shots is given to you, and with it, even if I am not by your side in the future, you will not miss the bird. Hey. ”

"Okay, to the battlefield...... Are you going to die? ”

"I don't know, as long as I fight, people will die, but I'm so good...... I don't think I'm going to die. ”

"This is the jade pendant that my father gave me, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, you take it."

"Uh-huh."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince?" Zheng Guan's inquiring words interrupted Mu Zhice's thoughts.

“…… "The palace marshal" Mu Zhice came back to his senses.

"There is a smooth road in the north, and it is the most favorable terrain for the Yuan Qi Iron Cavalry to charge, and the old minister thinks that it is better not to rush forward."

"The palace marshal's words are wrong," Mu Zhice, who was very anxious, became even more angry after hearing Zheng Guan say this, "The situation in the north has become so severe, I waited thousands of miles to go to Rongji, originally to expel the people, but now you want the palace to stagnate, to the rivers and mountains, the land is lost, do you want to trap the palace in a land of injustice, disloyalty and filial piety?!" ”

"The old minister mistook the king...... The old minister is guilty of death. Zheng Guan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

“…… Get up. After a while, Mu Zhice calmed down his emotions. The order was sent down, and the army immediately marched out and quickly relieved the siege of Min and Huai Erzhou. ”

“…… Be. ”

Outside Minzhou City, Yan Changfeng's heart was full of the joy of victory. The day after he broke through Qinzhou, Yan Shanhu's reinforcements arrived, and he originally wanted to ask Yan Shanhu a few words, but when Yan Shanhu told him the news that the King of Beiyang had died in battle, Yan Changfeng didn't say anything more.

The development of the next war was even smoother than Yan Changfeng expected, with the help of Mu Zhixun's Kanyu map, Yuan Su Tieqi almost effortlessly attacked the city in the north of Daning, Jiangzhou was taken by Yan Changfeng in only one hour, and Cang and Ping Erzhou surrendered directly without a fight.

As for Min and Huai Erzhou, it was Yan Changfeng who deliberately surrounded and did not fight, because he was waiting for Prince Daning's army here.

And when Lu Ziyu woke up from the horse, before he came out of the grief of losing his brother, the Su of the Wind Pass completely crushed his heart.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

Lu Ziyu has hardly cried since he was a child, but that day, he fainted several times while crying blood.

After a long time, Lu Ziyu, who had a hoarse voice, wiped the tears on his face and said solemnly: "...... Who did it? ”

"King Yuan Su Zuoxian...... The last general found the banner of King Zuo Xian in the valley where the old prince was attacked. The general of the Beiping Army on the side wiped his tears and said.

At this moment, Lu Ziyu's heart was like a knife, it turned out that his father had sent troops to Qinzhou to save him, but he was actually exchanging his life for his life......

"There is a wrong...... The debtor is the owner. Lu Ziyu stood up slowly, he looked at all the Beiping Army officers and soldiers present with tears in his eyes and said: "When the mother concubine left, she said that Ziyu should honor his father well...... She also said that she must let her father live in retirement...... She didn't want her father to be ...... like her grandfather" Lu Ziyu couldn't control his emotions and choked up several times.

"Brothers, there are traitors in the court, the Imperial Forest Army is no longer reliable, I was framed by the villain, and I was charged with escaping from the battle, and now the northern state capitals are falling one after another, and there is no point in guarding the wind pass, it is better to disperse and have a glimmer of life. The grace of birth and nurturing is greater than the sky, the hatred of killing the father is not the same as the sky, after Ziyu deals with the aftermath of his father, he will go out to seek revenge, and the brothers have relatives in their families, each with a military salary...... Go home. ”

However, after being speechless for a while, the words of the generals made Lu Ziyu tearful again.

"The prince is gone...... Doesn't the world want us? ”

"If the son wants revenge, won't we be allowed to take revenge?"

"Life is a person of the Beiping Army, death is a ghost of the Beiping Army, I will follow the son of the world if I don't go anywhere."

"Swear to follow His Royal Highness the Prince! Swear to follow His Royal Highness the Prince to the death! "For a while, the mountain call covered the entire Rinfeng Pass.

Now that everyone has said this, what else can Lu Ziyu say.

On the other side, when Mu Zhice's army rushed all the way to the city of Minzhou, the Yuan army was already in full array, and it looked like they had already known that the Ning army was coming.

But before the Ning army could gain a firm foothold, the Yuan Su Iron Cavalry had already begun to charge at them. Shining scimitars swirled in their hands, and the galloping iron knights kicked up a sky of flying dust.

"Palace Marshal, quickly command the soldiers to meet the enemy!" Mu Zhice said urgently.

"The old minister obeys." Zheng Guan slowly walked to the handsome platform, waved the handsome flag and ordered: "The silver spearmen stand in formation to meet the enemy, and the dragon inlay rider outflanks from the left and right wings!" ”

A large number of Imperial Guards armed with huge shields quickly erected a huge shield wall in front of the formation, dense spears interspersed through the gaps in the shields, and a large number of archers behind them were already in place.

However, just when the Yuan Su cavalry was still some distance away from the shield wall of the Imperial Forest Army, huge cobblestones flew from behind them, and the unparalleled momentum directly broke the shield wall, and the Imperial Forest Army suffered countless casualties for a while.

Although a large number of Imperial Forest troops filled in time, the first wave of the Yuanfu cavalry had already arrived in front of the formation, and the two sides started a tragic melee.

At the same time, the dragon inlaid cavalry that was sent to outflank the flanks was inexplicably outflanked by the Yuan Su heavy cavalry, which had been ambushed for a long time. Although these dragon riders were all extremely equestrian, they were helpless when they encountered those heavy cavalry who were armed to the teeth and heavily armoured.

In hand-to-hand combat, heavy cavalry is invincible.

The dragon inlay cavalry has always been the most unruly troops in the Imperial Forest Army, it is said that their selection criteria in addition to martial arts and horsemanship, and even appearance and figure of these two, in Yunjing, these royal street dragon inlaid riders have always been the object of the of the girls in the capital.

But those girls must not have imagined how embarrassed these dragon riders were to be killed under the scimitar of Yuan Su's heavy horse.

The battle before the battle was also not smooth, on the plain, the infantry had a natural disadvantage over the cavalry, but fortunately, Zheng Guan temporarily changed his tactics, and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to hold a big sword and long axe, regardless of life and death, directly towards the horse's legs, and then stabbed to death the Yuan Su soldiers who fell off the horse, which barely stabilized the unfavorable situation.

The fierce battle lasted from noon to sunset, and the Yuan army saw that it was difficult to make a big breakthrough for a while, so they stopped the charge, and Mu Zhice did not order the soldiers to attack again. When the real war was in front of him, this young man, who had been yearning for the bloody frontier since he was a child, was shocked alive.

Everywhere you can see the shocking screams of severed arms and limbs, hellish despair, and even the air is full of choking stench. The purgatory on earth is more than that.

That night, the Imperial Forest Army also set up camp ten miles away from the Yuansu camp outside Minzhou City, and under the dim candlelight, Mu Zhice's expression looked hesitant and weak.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Marshal, in today's battle, 20,000 people were killed and wounded in the Gyeonggi Xiang Army, 15,000 people were killed in the Imperial Forest Army, and the Dragon Mosaic Cavalry suffered heavy losses...... There were less than three thousand horsemen left. From the voice of the Royal Guard, you can hear that the morale is very low at the moment.

"Got it, you stand down." Zheng Guan Dao.

"The marshal...... What are we going to do! At this time, Mu Zhice no longer had the momentum he had when he reprimanded Zheng Guan before, and was replaced by fear and confusion.

"Your Highness, the situation is grim and there is no room for optimism. So far, this is the only way to go, I don't know...... Can it go back to the sky? Zheng Guan pursed his dry lips, he looked hesitant.

"Your Palace, please speak." At this moment, Zheng Guan is the only straw that Mu Zhice can grasp.
