Chapter 154
On the day General Su returned to Luoyang, Yingning did not go back with him. A few days later, the Xiongnu came to declare war. Everything should have a result, everyone was nervous, only Yingning was more excited than ever. She is gearing up and wholeheartedly trying to make meritorious contributions. In her selfish heart, only if she has made military merits, can she better stand by my side, and others will not make irresponsible remarks, and she is more confident. As for the high emperor, if he wants to oppose it, he must think it carefully. Although she and I don't care about these, but the world is watching, she can't hold me back, she wants to be his princess in a dignified manner.
The leader of the Huns on the opposite side, Hudun Shan Yu, sat on a black horse. He was born with a heroic appearance, his face was brownish-red, and he looked like he was often exposed to the wind and the sun. He looked at Wu Qi coldly, snorted loudly, and said, "His Royal Highness King Jing actually cheated to death, it is really a good means." It turns out that you are also afraid of death, and you don't have the pride of our Huns at all. ”
Wu Qi also snorted: "If this king does not cheat death, how can he tempt you to bring about your own destruction?" This king has never been afraid of death, but he does not want to die in your indiscriminate methods. If a good man wants to die, he will die on the battlefield, and naturally he can't learn the means you don't enter. Assassination and sneak attack, such a shameless method, can only be done by you Huns. ”
Hutun was so choked by my words that he couldn't speak for a long time. His brown-red face turned black, and he gasped for breath for a long time before he said, "Then let's have a good try." ”
The drums of war beat and the trumpets blow. There was not a hint of wind in the sky, the sun was blazing, and the air was dull. I was riding on a tall white horse, wearing a silver armor, with a solemn face. He held the reins in one hand and drew his dragon-patterned sword with the other, the blade slightly raised. All the soldiers stared at the shining sword, waiting for it to be raised into the air, and then at the sound of my order, they would not hesitate to rush towards the Huns and fight them.
Ying Ning was at the back of Wu Period, she looked at his generous and majestic back, her fingers moved slightly, and for a moment she wanted to set up an enchantment for him to protect him from any harm. It's a pity that she can't, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he is a hero in everyone's eyes, he will not hide in a shell, in exchange for stability, that is humiliation for him.
The sound of war drums sounded in my ears, and another loud trumpet sounded. The sword of my period was finally raised high, and the bright sword body pointed straight to the sky, and the army behind followed it, and the black armor was like a mountain forest all over the field, and the momentum was majestic and amazing. It was about the time before me, and they were full of faith.
The Huns' position does not seem to be lost, and it seems that they are somewhat evenly matched. However, the styles are very different, they are all armed with spears and swords, and the Huns are meniscus war knives, a rough barbarian attitude.
Suddenly, like a gust of wind, the cavalry roared up, raising the loess in the sky. The battle flag hunts in the wind. The cavalry led by me was the first to move, and the soldiers in the rear moved forward steadily, shouting loudly: "Kill, kill, kill." The deafening voice resounded in the sky, like the tide sweeping across the sky.
Finally, the two armies collided head-on, like a mountain overwhelming the sea, if the rumbling thunder resounded through the valley, and like thousands of angry waves crashing against the mountains. Long swords and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears whistled and flitted, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
Iron men struck, dead and unwhirling, hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, and smoke and dust, and the whole mountain was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic aura of this primitive fight.....
The smoke rising from the raging flames of war billowed and filled the entire mountain. The banner that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant. Dead bodies were lying on the ground everywhere, bleeding non-stop, but no one stepped forward to clean up, and the thick smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other, filling the air, pungent and unpleasant.
The loud screams and screams are touching. The sturdy figures of the soldiers rose and fell like waves, and their mouths let out a cry that shook the heavens and the earth. This kind of shouting, infecting each other, motivating each other, and dissipating many inexplicable fears in my heart. Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging a long rain of arrows through the clear sky like locusts crossing the border, only to see the soldiers falling from the arrows one after another.
Ying Ning had experienced such a killing, and she was not afraid. She is full of eyes that she is single to Huton, and the thief captures the king first, and only when Huton is dead, everything can end early.
I have always believed that it is more effective to outwit the Xiongnu than to attack. But he probably didn't come up with any way, and now he can only fight hard.
I don't know when my body has been stained with blood, Yingning's heart is clenched, I don't know if he is injured, I don't know how long their war will last?
The war was in a stalemate for a while, and at some point, thousands of soldiers were suddenly killed in the rear of the Huns. Ying Ning looked at it and saw that it was General Su who had gone to Luoyang in name. They actually copied the rear of the Huns in the past few days and killed them by surprise. It turned out that I didn't want to fight hard, it turned out to be to cut off the back road of the Huns.
Hutun was also taken aback, and after a moment someone beside him didn't know what to say. He fiercely raised his knife and slashed at the soldier on the side, his face darkened. I took advantage of Huton's defenselessness, took the bow and arrow on his back, drew the bow, and shot at Huton very indifferently.
The arrow winded through the crowd and was shooting at Huton's shoulder. When the Huns saw that their leader was wounded, they took advantage of the chaos to kill a bloody way and escaped in a wild direction.
The Xiongnu lost their main general, had no one to command, and immediately fell into chaos. The remaining minions even threw away their armor and collapsed. We took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, and the Xiongnu were defeated again.
Everything seemed to be coming to an end, I collected the bow and arrows, and Mo Yan suddenly panicked and reported: "Hutun has escaped." ”
I looked around, but I really didn't see Huton's figure. He said coldly: "If you escape, you will flee, this place is full of mountains and forests, it is very easy to hide, and it is difficult to find their traces." After this battle, the Xiongnu were already seriously injured, and they could not recover to their original appearance without ten or eight years. It is worth it to give the border people a few years of peace. ”
Mo Yan didn't have the indifferent appearance of my expectations, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly, but his eyes were anxious, and he said: "Hutun is gone, and Miss Yingning is gone." ”
Wu Qi quickly turned his head to look at Mo Yan, reached out and grabbed his robe, and asked sharply, "What do you mean by Yingning disappearing?" How could she not see? ”
Mo Yan lowered her head and said in shock: "Someone saw her chasing her." ”
Wu Qi's eyes turned red, and his voice trembled slightly: "Who saw it?" Where did it go? ”
Mo Yan pointed to Chen Niansheng not far behind him, Chen Niancheng had never seen such a violent prince, he pursed his lips in fright, and it took a long time to say a complete sentence: "I saw Ah Jiu riding a horse with my own eyes, heading in the direction of Huton's escape." I was just worried about him, so I came to report to General Moyan. If he is single-handed, I am afraid that he will be more than lucky. ”
Wu Qi loosened Mo Yan's robe, without a pause, turned over and got on the horse, he glared at Chen Niansheng and asked, "In which direction?" ”
Chen Niansheng pointed to the west, where there is a dense primeval jungle, and it is easy to get lost in this place for those who are not familiar with it. When I was guarding this place, I went to explore the road, and the environment inside was complicated, and there were no locals as guides, so it was easy to get in, and it was almost impossible to get out.
Ying Ning had never been here, how could she escape. What's more, although Hutun was injured, it was not fatal, and there were many soldiers around him. Yingning can't chase Huton, this time it's all nine deaths.
My heart was beating so hard that he could barely bear it. Yingning, his Yingning. He whipped the whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed and galloped forward like a gale.
"Lord Wang!" Mo Yan shouted, he immediately called a team of soldiers and horses, briefly explained to General Su, and chased after me.
They wandered around the forest for a day, but they didn't see a single figure. There is no Huton, and there is no Yingning. It was as if the world had evaporated, and it had disappeared without a trace.
There are some injuries on my body, because they have not been treated in time, and in such a hot dense forest, there are already some suppurations. Mo Yan refused to let me look forward to being here no matter what, he had already sent more soldiers to come, promising that he would definitely find Yingning.
It's just that how could I be willing to go back, his heart seemed to have broken a big hole, and Yingning's disappearance made him restless. Why did she have to make any military merits, and when did he need a woman to make meritorious contributions? If she is gone, what fun will he have in the rest of his life. He had not yet told her that he wanted her to be his princess and the head of his palace. He regretted very much why he hadn't told her earlier, so whether she would be happy and would cherish her life.
Mo Yan took advantage of his unpreparedness and raised his hand to slash at his neck. Wu Qi paused, and then fell on Mo Yan. Mo Yan can't either, even if something happens to Miss Yingning, the prince can't have an accident. He had no choice but to risk being disposed of by military regulations and forcibly bring the prince back to the camp. Otherwise, if something really happens to the prince, none of them can escape responsibility.
The soldiers who remained continued to search in the woods. The prince was sent back to the camp, and the military doctor bandaged the wound and fed the decoction. After a long time, I woke up quietly, he sat up from the bed with his aching neck in his hands, and stared coldly at the weak-hearted Mo Yan on the side.
"Mo Yan, you are so bold, even you dare to do it in this king, I am afraid that the position of this main general will be up to you in the future." I got down from the bed, picked up the shoes by the bed, and put them on.
Mo Yan knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Miss Yingning is very important to you, and the last general is also very worried. It's just that the prince is even more important to these many soldiers. That's why the last general took it upon himself to bring you back. Your injuries are not serious, but they can't be delayed. What's more, Miss Yingning hasn't appeared for so long, I think it's ......"
"Shut up!" I scolded sharply, "Mo Yan, if you dare to talk nonsense again, this king will skin you alive." Yingning won't die, she won't. She knew that the king was waiting for her, and she would definitely come back. ”
Mo Yan lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Lord Wang." Miss Yingning is blessed and will definitely return safely. ”
I gasped heavily, as if I was out of breath. He hastily dressed himself, picked up his sword, and was about to go out. Mo Yan grabbed it and said eagerly: "The prince doesn't have to go in person, the last general has already sent thousands of soldiers to find it, there should be some news, the prince is relieved to wait." ”
Wu Qi glanced at Mo Yan coldly and said, "Mo Yan, if you interfere with this king again, this king will fine you with hundreds of military sticks." ”
Mo Yan gritted his teeth, knelt in front of Wu Qi, and said with a heart: "The prince can be punished no matter what, I just beg the prince not to go to the dense forest again." ”
