Chapter 364: Fight to the Death
The sun is sinking and the clouds are falling, the sky is swallowed by the dark night, and in the vast night, Mu Wanshang leans in front of the window, looking at the vast dark night.
She was in a messy mood and worried. The news came from Manhu, and the news sent back by the spies lurking in Manhu in the West sent back that Manhu's palace was blown up and Empress Xuanyuan Mingyue was missing.
Mu Bangshang suspected that Xuanyuan had ordered someone to do it, and Xuanyuan's person had been lurking in the barbarians, and in order to achieve victory, he could do whatever it took to win.
She is now afraid that if she fights openly, it is still possible for Manhu to fight Da Yin for a long time.
Now from the news that came back, Manhu is now at a disadvantage, Xuanyuan is extremely despicable and constantly doing tricks, she is afraid that it will not be long before Dayin will win. In this way, Zephan is in danger, and her woman's kindness really puts Geshu in danger.
Unable to sleep all night, a plain cloak draped over her shoulders behind her, and her voice was soft and deep.
"Yan'er, what should I do if I don't sleep so late and stand in front of the window and get cold?"
Mu Bangshang rolled his eyes and stared at him deeply, his warm eyes did not complain from beginning to end, "Your Majesty, let's send troops!" If Xuanyuan takes down the barbarians, he will use troops against Xifan. ”
The opportunity is fleeting, and the most favorable opportunity has been lost, even if they send troops now, they are afraid that there is no chance of reversal.
"I've already ordered someone to prepare for a battle with Da Yin."
Mu Bangshang doesn't like war, and he knows very well that Xifan is fighting for self-preservation. also expects Xuanyuan to have a conscience, and does not want the tragedy of Silla to happen, in his heart, she and the child have no weight at all, and the great cause of the country is what he wants most.
In the territory of Manhu, Xiao Yichen had Ruan Shifan's two children in his hands, and began to deploy, taking advantage of the night to arrange traps, everything was ready, and then he ordered someone to go to the barracks of Manhu with the belongings of the two children and hand them over to Ruan Shifan in person.
Xiao Yichen must send someone with courage to go over, and in a fit of rage, Ruan Shifan will kill the messenger.
It is rare that there is a truce for a few days, both sides are making heavy new deployments, and the news of the imperial city has not rebelled and seized power has come, and Ruan Shifan still has some time to breathe.
In addition to the contest between the two sides on weapons, they are fighting for the physical strength of the army, Ruan Shifan suspects that the number of Dayin is three layers less than them, but the combat effectiveness is much stronger than them, it should be taken drugs, but drugs will always be toxic, and it is impossible to continue to be effective for a period of time, as long as it can be delayed for a while.
Ruan Shifan walked on the school field, looking at the unabated brute soldiers, and was not depressed because of the successive defeats. The barbarian people are all bloody people, and they will not admit defeat easily.
Ruan Shifan walked around outside the camp tent, returned to the camp, handled official business, and in the afternoon, heard outside the camp tent, Wu Yuanbo personally walked into the camp.
Wu Yuanbo sent people to the surrounding areas to temporarily recruit the prime-aged people who were thirteen to forty years old to join the war, "General Wu, how is the recruitment?" ”
The barbarians are a warlike people, and the recruitment is going well, but he met a person outside the camp and handed him something to him, so that he doesn't know whether to hand it over to the emperor, if it is handed over, it will affect the morale of the army.
If it is not handed over, the safety of the two princes is a dereliction of duty by the martial arts, and now it is necessary to determine whether the things sent by the Da Yin people are really the prince's belongings.
Wu Yuanbo took out the Jinpa from his arms and handed it over, he was such a big man, but it was a little shameful to take out the Jinpa.
"General Wu, I ordered you to recruit, why did you come back with a woman's things?"
Wu Yuanbo spread the brocade in his hand, uncovered it little by little, and the foot rings of the two bells appeared in front of him.
Ruan Shifan instantly lost his color and rushed up directly, this thing is two children, Xuanyuan Mingyue personally brought it for the child, it is engraved with the child's name and the birth date, the barbarian Hu people worship the mother of the earth, and the bell is worn on the foot to be grounded, and it is also a symbol of blessing.
"Where did this thing come from? Tell me where are the two children? ”
Seeing this, Wu Yuanbo knelt directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive the Wu family for their dereliction of duty." It was sent by the Dayin people, and the people were arrested and put into the barracks, just outside the camp tent. ”
My sister died, my beloved woman also died, and even my two sons fell into the hands of Xuanyuan, who couldn't protect his wife and children, so what kind of man was he.
Holding the bell tightly in his hand, he rushed out of the tent directly, grabbed the person by the neck, and if he hadn't wanted to ask the whereabouts of the child, he would have broken his neck long ago.
"Say, where is the child?"
When the guard came, he was ready to die, and it was a common thing for men to fight on the battlefield, and he was already very happy to see the wild dogs roaring.
stared at Ruan Shifan without fear, "Your two sons are now in Dayin's barracks, don't cower in the barracks like turtles, and fight to the death with Da Yin if you have a kind." Otherwise, you will receive one of your child's objects every day, and you may not be able to see your child's fingers next time! ”
The angry Ruan Shifan twisted the man's neck, he knew that his sister cut off the woman's finger and sent it to the Dayin military camp, Xuanyuan was taking revenge, thinking of Xuanyuan Mingyue's death, the two children were even more dangerous.
"General Wu, prepare the army, I will fight to the death with Da Yin!"
Wu Yuanbo said: "Your Majesty, Dayin's people are scheming, and they are simply forcing the emperor to send troops. ”
"Do you want me to watch my child die?" Ruan Shifan said angrily.
Wu Yuanbo was much calmer than Ruan Shifan, and sent his men to gather the largest number of troops and go to the war zone in advance to check the enemy's situation and whether there was an ambush.
Ruan Shifan didn't sleep all night, thinking about the death of his sister Ruan Shengnan and the death of Xuanyuan Mingyue, thinking that the child was in the hands of the Dayin people, he was already eager to rush into the enemy camp to save the child.
Xiao Yichen knew that Ruan Shifan would mess with himself, and anyone who wanted to be as calm as the emperor could mess up his mind for Mu Bangshang, not to mention the bloody Ruan Shifan, just one night was enough to wipe out all his sanity.
Before dawn, the spies came to report that at the junction of the two armies, Dayin's people had set up wooden shelves, and the surrounding area was full of firewood, as if they were going to tie people to it.
Wu Yuanbo was shocked and wanted something bad, Da Yin's people wanted to tie the two princes to threaten the emperor.
"Go to the celebrity and destroy the wooden shelf, drag it for as long as you can!"
Ruan Shifan didn't sleep all night, and when he heard the situation outside, he rushed out directly, "What are you waiting for?" Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, hurry up and attack, do you wait for the child to be burned to death? ”
Wu Yuanbo knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the old minister is worried that the other party has a trap. ”
Ruan Shifan was anxious, it was his own flesh and blood, and he pulled out the scimitar on his waist and pressed it against Wu Yuanbo's neck, "I order you to send troops immediately!" ”
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
How Ruan Shifan thought twice, he had endured it all night, could it be that he couldn't gather an army to fight Da Yin overnight.
Ruan Shifan directly let go of the scimitar around his neck and went directly to the high platform, since Wu Yuanbo refused to give the order, he would give the order himself.
"Your Majesty, wait a little longer, even if the prince is gone, as long as the emperor is there, there is still hope for the barbarians! Emperor! ”
On the other side, Xiao Yichen and his soldiers had already set up an ambush and tied the two children to the wooden frame, just to capture Ruan Shifan alive. Before leaving Dayin, it had been discussed that if Ruan Shifan could be captured alive, he would first catch him to weaken the momentum of the barbarians, attack the barbarians while dragging them, and it would not be too late to kill him in Tongwancheng.
If Ruan Shifan is killed, it will only increase the fighting spirit of the barbarian Hu and the enemy, and Tongwancheng can elect a new emperor at any time, and then he will lose the fighter.
His purpose is to use the child to capture Ruan Shifan alive, Ruan Shifan is also a bloody man, I am afraid that he will not be captured, the two children cannot be killed, and the child will be used to contain Ruan Shifan to prevent him from committing suicide.
Everything is according to the emperor's plan, and it is inevitable that Da Yin will destroy the barbarian Hu.
It was already dawn, the child had been burned at the stake, and it was believed that the Manhu spies had also sent the news back to the Manhu barracks. Ruan Shifan's personality is already well understood by the emperor, and he will save the child even if he knows that it is a trap.
Just like back then, knowing that the emperor might be using Princess Manhu, he may not be sincere, but he is still willing to choose to fulfill his sister's happiness and take risks.
Ji Junhao stepped forward with someone, "Da Sima, the enemy army is already coming in the direction of the war zone. ”
It's time to be ashamed, "Okay, get ready to fight!" ”
Ruan Shifan led the soldiers, and from a distance, he saw two children tied to the wooden frame erected, and they were tightly wrapped, and they could still be identified as the children of him and Xuanyuan Mingyue.
The two children did not seal the acupuncture points, and the younger ones were still crying, and their voices were about to cry hoarsely.
The older one saw his father coming from a distance, and the child naturally thought that his father was the bravest and could save the two brothers.
I didn't know that there was a trap under them, "Father! Father! Meng'er is here! Ruan Shifan was even more anxious when he shouted this.
The teams on both sides stopped two hundred zhang away, and Ruan Shifan looked at Xiao Yichen who was sitting on the horse opposite, "I didn't expect the dignified Da Sima to use such indiscriminate means." What do you do with two children? I have the courage to fight to the death. ”
Xiao Yichen sat on the horse, looked at Ruan Shifan with some disdain, and saw that Ruan Shifan's eyes were blood-red, and he should have not rested all night.
"Ruan Shifan, have you forgotten that you used this method to achieve victory back then, and now that your son has been arrested, you have begun to feel distressed. Xiao Yichen can fight with you, but he also wants you to taste what it is like for your relatives to be arrested. Everything today is the bitter fruit of the year, and I will pay tribute to it today, if you have the guts, save your son, if you don't have the guts! Accompany your children to Huangquan Road for a reunion! ”
Xiao Yichen said to the guards: "What are you waiting for? Don't light the fire yet! ”
The guard was about to light a fire with a torch in his hand, when a bow and arrow were fired, and the guard fell to the ground.
The person who raised the arrow was Wu Yuanbo, how could he watch the emperor go forward to die, "Your Majesty, you want to save the prince and let the old minister come." ”
Xiao Yichen didn't expect someone to stop him halfway, and motioned to Ji Junhao to stop Wu Yuanbo, and he had already taken the fire fold from his boots and threw it directly on the dry firewood, and the fire burned instantly.
Ruan Shifan saw that the fire was burning around the child, then you can still scruple about it, and the horse ran directly towards the wooden frame, and before he got close, even the people and horses fell into the trap, and the smoke yarn rushed onto the wooden frame in Jiuxiao and saved the two children.
The two sides fight to the death!
