Chapter 136: The Siege

The second prince returned to the tent with a grim face.

Soon, it was time for the second prince to lead his troops to raid the Tatar army, but he did not move, and the deputy general below came to urge him for some reason.

"General, the army is ready and ready to go."

The second prince's expression was gloomy, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Order the troops, go." His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had made a great deal of determination.

The lieutenant didn't think much of it, turned around and walked out.

On the other side, Jiang Qingyue and Liu Min led their troops, and they calculated the route of the Tatar army's march and waited in advance on the road that the Tatar army must pass.

The road needed to pass through a long valley, which was supposed to protect the Tatar army, but many years ago, this valley was blown up by the King of Jin, and the Tatars also suffered heavy losses.

Jiang Qingyue and Liu Min stayed outside the valley, waiting for the Tatar army to arrive and plan to act.

The army was hidden around it, holding its breath only to the sound of the wind.

Liu Min always paid attention not to when the Tatar army would come, but to Jiang Qingyue beside him.

Liu Min couldn't help but glance at Jiang Qingyue, and said puzzledly: "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

Jiang Qingyue raised his eyebrows: "Why did you say this?" ”

"Your expression is not right," Liu Min pointed at Jiang Qingyue and said: "At the beginning, the Tatar army broke the city gate, and you didn't look like this, but now it's not right, like a little disappointed, like a little lost, and a little sad." ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he deserved to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and his ability to figure out people's hearts was really a must.

Of course Liu Min is keen, he feels that there is only one possibility that a woman will show so many complex emotions, and that is for the sake of men, he has to take a good look at Jiang Qingyue, don't let her cuckold the emperor!

Liu Min asked vigilantly: "The emperor has a deep affection for you, can't you be sorry for him!" ”

Jiang Qingyue: "??? ”

Even if Jiang Qingyue has always been smart, she can't guess Liu Min's thoughts at this time, she said lightly: "You think too much, I don't have anything to hide from you." ”

Liu Min snorted coldly: "You don't think that I, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, am vegetarian, right?" After a pause, he continued: "From the moment you insisted on joining, I found out that this is not right! ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, and suddenly, the vanguard in charge of Wangfeng sent a signal that the Tatar army had arrived!

Jiang Qingyue and Liu Min were both in the same place, and they couldn't care about anything else, and began to prepare for battle.

Suddenly, hearing a gallop of horses' hooves in front of him, Jiang Qingyue frowned, and Liu Min on the side had already asked, "Are there so many people escorting grain and grass?" What did we say earlier? ”

Jiang Qingyue frowned faintly, and suddenly saw the soldier who looked at the wind sent another prompt: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

The flag was fought quickly and urgently, but it was too late, Jiang Qingyue and the others had already seen the rushing Tatar army!

Where are these guards who escort grain and grass, this is clearly a well-disciplined combat force!

"Not good! Fooled! Liu Min shouted: "Protect the son!" ”

Jiang Qingyue also reacted, "Retreat!" Launched! All retreat! ”

They desperately retreated in the direction of return, but the sound of horses' hooves also came from the direction behind, and Jiang Qingyue was stunned.

There were Tatar troops in front and behind, but on both sides there were other valleys blocking the way out, so to speak, they were surrounded by Tatar troops in front and back!

It's ridiculous to say, this was originally their way of dealing with the Tatar army, flanking back and forth, not letting them end up and not caring about each other, but now it has become themselves!

"We've been tricked!" Liu Min said with an ugly face, he looked at Jiang Qingyue, and asked angrily, "Did you already know that there was fraud this time?" ”

Jiang Qingyue took out her spear and prepared for battle, she said coldly: "I know that there is fraud and I still come with you?" ”

Liu Min thought about it, in the end, he was used to licking blood from the tip of the knife, Liu Min quickly calmed down, and was in the mood to joke: "That's right, you can't be so stupid!" ”

Jiang Qingyue raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "You are wrong, I am really so stupid!" After a pause, she shouted, "Brothers! Fight with them! ”

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, he rushed out first, the sound of fighting echoed in the valley, Jiang Qingyue was the object of attention, many people hoped to capture Jiang Qingyue alive and go back to receive the reward, almost all of her were Tatar soldiers, but she was not afraid, one person and one gun, majestic, and untouchable.

Liu Min didn't have time to appreciate these, he didn't even have time to think about how Zhou Ruian would punish Jiang Qingyue if something happened to him.

Everything doesn't matter now, what they have to do is to try to survive, and if they kill one more enemy, maybe they will have more hope of survival.

Tuoba just led the Tatar army to guard the valley at this time, admiring the chaos below, he hooked the corners of his lips: "Fight, fight, kill you, and then go to break Liuzhou City!" ”

Liuzhou City, the last time I didn't break through Liuzhou City, it was a big pity for Tuoba Gang, this is Liuzhou City, for many years, the Tatar army has not been able to break through the gate of Liuzhou City, with this merit, the throne of the Tatar King belongs to him!

As soon as Tuoba thought of this, he felt in a good mood, and his tone was contemptuous: "No matter how smart Jiang Qingyue is, in the end, he will still be calculated to death by me!" After a pause, he suddenly thought of the person who came up with this idea, and couldn't help but snort lightly: "I just said that the people in the Central Plains are insidious and cunning, and even their own people are so ruthless,"

As soon as Tuoba finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the moon slave walked up: "Your Highness." ”

"You give the order to go down and send someone to help them, and the left and right are dead, so don't waste time." Tuoba Gang said in a relaxed tone.

The moon slave didn't speak, just lowered his head and looked at the people at the bottom of the valley, and after a moment, he whispered: "Yes!" ”

The corners of Tuoba Gang's lips curled in a happy mood.

Jiang Qingyue was originally prepared, so the people brought out this time were all good at one enemy and one hundred, but there were too many people in the Tatar army, they fought bravely to kill the enemy, and they couldn't stop the flow of physical strength, and there were fewer and fewer brothers around them.

Jiang Qingyue's eyes were red, she hated herself even more at this time, if she wasn't too rigid and self-serving, these people wouldn't have died!

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue let out a loud shout, and a shot stabbed a Tatar soldier in the chest, she used all her strength to rush forward, and the spear head directly broke through the soldier's corpse, until she stabbed another person.

Jiang Qingyue raised his spear, and then threw the corpses of the Tatar soldiers in strings forward!

Liu Min paid attention to Jiang Qingyue's movements while killing the enemy, and when he saw her appearance, he knew that she had red eyes, and secretly screamed in his heart, just about to get closer to her, he heard another sound of horses' hooves, and listening to the sound, there were obviously a lot of them.

Liu Min secretly cursed in his heart, there is no end to it, how many people did this Tatar army send to kill them? When did they become so important?

The sound of fighting was heard in the valley.

The second prince led the army out of the city, and the soldiers who followed the second prince were all excited, they were not going to fight this time, they were not going to fight this time, they were to make meritorious contributions, and they were to defend the country.

Everyone had such an idea, so that the momentum of the Dajing Army was like a rainbow and its morale was high.

No one knew that Jiang Qingyue and the others, who had left one step ahead of them, had already fallen into a bitter battle at this time.

The battle in the valley lasted for two hours, and Jiang Qingyue brought out the elites, who had been strong until now, which made Tuoba Gang feel a little surprised.

"It can't go on like this! We don't have a rescue! Liu Min took advantage of being covered by others and walked to Jiang Qingyue's side, he was covered with blood: "I'll take someone first and escort you out!" ”

There is no rescue, it means that they are dead, their army has been taken away by the second prince, and no one will come to save them at all, at this time, Liu Min only rejoiced in the hope that the main forces that came to besiege them were the main forces of the Tatars, and there were not too many troops left in the Tatar military camp, so that the second prince could also be more relaxed.

Jiang Qingyue stabbed a soldier to death with one shot: "I will not leave my brother behind and run for my life alone!" ”

"Now is not the time to be strong! We all know that there will be no rescuers, you don't understand! Liu Min said angrily: "You can't die!" ”

Liu Min was extremely angry, and his body, which had felt a little tired, suddenly burst out with endless strength, and hacked two Tatar soldiers to death with one move.

"We are all one life, and no one is more noble than the other!" Jiang Qingyue said indifferently: "Even if it's dead, it's just one more corpse, I have a clear conscience!" ”

Liu Min didn't appreciate Jiang Qingyue's spirit of living and dying with them at all, he only felt that his life was hard, he had survived so many hardships, and victory was finally in sight, but he killed Jiang Qingyue all of a sudden!

"Find you and bring you back, this is probably the last task the emperor has given me! I don't want to disappoint him, you don't know no! Liu Min said angrily: "Anyone can die, you can't!" ”

"You found me, I don't want to go back, in fact, you have already completed the task!" Jiang Qingyue said while killing the enemy.

With the passage of time, there are fewer and fewer people around Jiang Qingyue, more and more soldiers have fallen, they are all tired, they can't kill anymore, and what is even more desperate is that they all know that there are no reinforcements, no rescue, no one will come to save them, they are like they have been abandoned, and now they are trying to persevere, but they are just letting death come later, but they are already dead.

Such despair tormented the nerves of the soldiers, they were really tired, so just give up, maybe death, is a relief?

Suddenly, they saw a figure, covered in blood, surrounded by enemy troops, and someone stabbed her, but she was undaunted, and a spear, like a line, swept over the enemy, and immediately fell to the ground.

Many of them have heard the legend of Jiang Qingyue in the army, she single-handedly fought the eight warriors of the Tatars, and the discrimination that swept through thousands of armies created a myth of the military camp.

It turned out that the rumors were true, that person was really as heroic as everyone said, she didn't give up, even in the current situation, she didn't give up, and she had a firm belief in killing the enemy.

Those who want to give up suddenly feel a little ashamed, they are not as brave as that person, and they are not even as firm as her, it is too embarrassing, everyone is a man (??? Why is the gap so wide? Unwillingly! Even if you die, you have to kill a few more Tatars!

With this momentum, the Tatar soldiers were surprised to find that the soldiers, who had just shown their fatigue, suddenly became heroic again, what happened? Why is their momentum completely different? Shouldn't they have been caught sooner rather than later, and then they could have ended the fight sooner?

This battle, another hour, Tuoba Gang lost patience, he thought that he could end the battle a lot, but the people below dragged on for too long, and as a last resort, he decided to send all the soldiers.

Tuoba Gang said expressionlessly: "Everyone is killed, not one is left!" ”

Yuenu was shocked, but he still faithfully conveyed his order, and the soldiers who were about to enter the palace of Liuzhou City all set out, and when they heard the deafening sound, the soldiers of Dajing raised their heads, with an unwavering indifference on their faces.

Finally, it came, death was not so terrible, they were already worthy of their hearts!

Suddenly, there was another sound of galloping horses' hooves, and Liu Min was even a little impatient, how many people are there in this Tatar? Are they all ambushed here? Why do you have to get along with them? Did you use so many troops to kill such a small number of them?

"It's reinforcements! It's our reinforcements! Suddenly, I don't know who shouted.

Liu Min immediately raised his head and looked, and sure enough, he saw Dajing's military flag moving in the wind, it was really their Dajing army!

"There are reinforcements! Hold on a little longer, brothers! Kill! Liu Min immediately roared angrily, and his voice came out, inspiring everyone's hearts.

At this time, Jiang Qingyue, who was originally the most courageous, suddenly became sluggish, if it weren't for Liu Min always noticing her situation and killing a Tatar soldier who was about to sneak attack her, Jiang Qingyue would have been cut down long ago.

Liu Min couldn't help but say angrily: "You cheer me up!" Our reinforcements are coming! ”

Jiang Qingyue's expression was complicated, and he muttered to himself: "Yes, reinforcements are coming, but how can it be......"

How did it come?

"I won the bet." Jiang Qingyue said abruptly, and then the next moment, she saw the second prince in the lead, and she came with a hurried expression.

"Rush!" The second prince shouted in a hissing voice.

A large number of Dajing soldiers joined the battle, and the pressure of Jiang Qingyue and the others eased a lot, and the second prince came to Jiang Qingyue as soon as possible.

"Qingyue! Are you okay? The second prince asked nervously.

Of course Jiang Qingyue has something, she is not very good, the battle just now made her covered in blood, and she also suffered a lot of injuries, even during the battle at the city gate that day, Jiang Qingyue was not so embarrassed.

The second prince had a self-reproachful and distressed expression: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, just looked at him deeply.

Just at a glance, the second prince knew that she knew everything, he lowered his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Jiang Qingyue he knew, the Jiang Qingyue he loved, had always been so smart, how could he think that he could hide it from her?

"Why?" Jiang Qingyue only opened his mouth to ask.

Why? Why is it back? His plan shouldn't have been like this, why did he come back?

The second prince couldn't help but gently hook the corners of his lips, and sighed slightly: "What's the matter, let's go back and talk about it, okay?" ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, just raised his hand, and the spear was given to him, and the second prince didn't move.

Her spear passed him and stabbed one of the Tatar soldiers behind him.

Jiang Qingyue turned around and left, rushing towards the other enemy.

The second prince looked at her back, but his eyes were red, he took a deep breath, turned his head, and raised his weapon with some haste and slashed at a Tatar soldier.

Back then, even if he appeared on the battlefield, he would feel frightened, but now he can fight bravely to kill the enemy without changing his face.

He had changed so much that he had become stranger to himself, but when he faced her, he was still throbbing as before.

The impulse and desperation to protect her and stand by her side has never changed, just as it did at the beginning.

Maybe the question she asked has already had an answer, Jiangshan is really important, as long as she doesn't compare with her.

The second prince killed a Tatar soldier with a blank face, and his sword never relented.

Tuoba, who was standing at the top of the mountain, had just received the news and hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of troops, he looked at the battlefield under the mountain, and his heart was angry, "Hmph! For the sake of a woman, she actually gave up the good country in her hands! No wonder it can't be a big deal! ”

As soon as Tuoba finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The Tatars withdrew, Jiang Qingyue and others were saved, and those besieged soldiers experienced the joy of the rest of their lives.

"Lao Tzu never knew that life was so good! Hahaha! One of the soldiers laughed loudly and said.

Yes, it's good to be alive, even if they were ready to die heroically, but now after surviving, they realize that it is really good to be alive and just alive.

Jiang Qingyue raised her head and looked over from afar, the second prince had a decent smile on his face, comforting the soldiers beside her, she sighed, she suddenly didn't know whether her plan had succeeded or failed.

For the first time, Jiang Qingyue was a little dazed.

Liu Min walked to Jiang Qingyue's side, followed her eyes, and after a moment, he said lightly: "Did you win the bet, or did you lose the bet?" Did he let you down? ”

Jiang Qingyue turned his head and glanced at Liu Min, who also looked back at her calmly.

Jiang Qingyue was not surprised at all that Liu Min saw the clues, he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he had a keen intuition, if he couldn't see it until now, he wouldn't have to be the leader of the Jinyi Guard.

Jiang Qingyue suddenly felt a little embarrassed, Liu Min is Zhou Rui'an's person, and he is absolutely loyal to Zhou Rui'an, today's matter must not be hidden from Zhou Rui'an, at that time, how will Zhou Rui'an deal with the second prince?

Originally, Zhou Rui'an let go of the second prince, a large part of the reason was for her, at that time, she could still say that the second prince did not do anything to harm Zhou Rui'an, and even he had helped them before, but now it is different.

The second prince has done such a big thing, and with Zhou Rui'an's character, he can't tolerate him.

Jiang Qingyue ordered to return to the city.

In this battle, they won the battle in a vague and unexpected way, but the soldiers were happy that they had won the battle, and as for the catty in it, not many people noticed it, after all, they won in the end.

Only a few generals found out that something was wrong, why did the information they get be fake? Why was the second prince supposed to lead his troops to attack the Tatar barracks, and why did he suddenly change his route?

These are difficult doubts to explain, unless, on purpose, someone told them false information, and unless, someone already knew about the Tatar army's ambush plan.

But no one dared to say such a guess, in addition to no evidence, more of a suspicion, they didn't want to believe that the second prince who fought side by side with them might be a spy, they had doubts in their hearts, but they tacitly did not point it out.

Because, Jiang Qingyue must be able to see it.

returned to the camp and sent away the other generals, leaving only Jiang Qingyue, the second prince and Liu Min, and the three of them sat in the tent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Jiang Qingyue was the most calm, the second prince was also silent, and Liu Min was the first to speak.

Liu Min narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You don't even speak, do you?" But can anyone explain to me what happened today? ”

He said this, but his eyes were fixed on the second prince.

The second prince looked indifferent, and said, "I need to explain to someone, but that person is not you." His tone was cold, revealing a condescending haughty.

This is the real momentum of the second prince, he is a prince, a prince who has been superior since birth.

Liu Min was furious, and the embroidered spring knife was immediately unsheathed and put on the neck of the second prince: "Believe it or not, I can tie you up now!" Just because you left Beijing without permission, no one will say a word about me if I kill you now? ”

"There will be people, and the officers and men of the three armed forces will not agree." The second prince said calmly.

The current second prince is not the gentleman prince who came to rub off on military merits before, he has fought side by side so many times, he has become a part of this army, and no one can deny his efforts and dedication.

Therefore, the soldiers of the three armies will not agree, even if he leaves Beijing without permission, but the soldiers will not admit it, they will say that the merits and demerits are compensated, because the second prince is the one who saved Liuzhou City.

If Liu Min wants to dispose of the second prince, it will be even better, as Zhou Rui'an's henchman, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers will be vented on Zhou Rui'an.

Zhou Ruian has always hoped to incorporate the army and take back the military power, and Liu Min's move is tantamount to letting the soldiers and Zhou Ruian separate.

But in an instant, Liu Min thought of the key to it, and hated it so much!

However, Liu Min is also smart, he looked at Jiang Qingyue, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't say a word?" Just look at it? ”
