This battle made the Yanling sergeant palpitate, these women were really ruthless enough, and every move was aimed at the vital point, and in just a while, the enemy had already killed three and left two disabled. Coupled with the few who were knocked down by Nan Guying and them just now, more than half of them have been killed or injured now. And with the death and wounding of their accomplices, the remaining assassins trembled with terror and fell faster and faster.

During this period, Zhong Liying carried the injured sisters to the tent for treatment, first used a magnet to suck out the steel needles in the body, and then sealed the acupoints with silver needles to detoxify, and soon dealt with those poisoned sisters, their faces also turned from pale to ruddy, and their blue lips also returned to their original colors, and their lives were no longer in danger.

When there were only two or three assassins left in the array, a trumpet sound was heard in the distance. At this time, the spies came to report, saying that King Hong's army had been killed, and he would soon encounter the Yanling army.

Sima Hongyan saw that the soldiers were tired from the repeated battles tonight, so he immediately ordered the army to retreat to the north to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge.

It was the darkest hour of the night, and it wasn't long before dawn came. As long as you hold out until dawn, the enemy has nothing to worry about.

As soon as the order came out, Nan Guying and Guo Zidi immediately commanded the army to retreat, and Xiao Hongying and the female soldiers also stepped up their offensive here, and soon eliminated all the killers, and several seriously injured assassins Xiao Hongying didn't want to go over to make up for them with a sword in their chests without thinking about it.

Everyone cleaned the battlefield and packed up their things as fast as they could, and they didn't even have time for a cup of tea and headed north in the inky night. Although there was not a moment of peace that night, there was no panic when the Yanling army withdrew.

King Hong's army soon arrived, leaving only corpses and blood all that was left on the ground. Looking at the mess on the ground, you can imagine what a terrible battle was fought here just now.

King Hong saw that the casualties on both sides were very heavy, so he immediately ordered the whole army to pursue Sima Hongyan's army, and now the Yanling people must be exhausted and demoralized, and they will be able to win a great victory if they catch up with each other.

Without further ado, King Hong's troops saw the footprints of the Yanling people leaving, and immediately set off to chase after them.

In less than half an hour, the sun will come out, and King Hong has no confidence in winning the confrontation head-on, and he wants to use the darkness before dawn to deal a fatal blow to the Yanling people.

Quickly chased forward, and it didn't take long to see a faint fire ahead. Sima Hongyan was in front, and the firelight was the guiding target, and King Hong was in ecstasy, urging the army to speed up.

Seeing that the distance to the firelight was approaching, King Hong suddenly felt that something seemed wrong. Looking at the light of the fire in front of him, he suddenly realized that the flames had always stayed in place and had not moved.

"It's a trap! Evacuate! King Hong shouted suddenly.

As soon as he shouted, he heard a sharp sound of the wind, followed by a neighing and screaming of the men and horses behind him. In the darkness, I don't know how many arrows flew forward. It was so dark that I couldn't tell where the enemy was except for the sound of the feather arrows breaking through the air.

King Hong was about to follow the sound to find the direction of the enemy soldiers, but he was short under Meng, and his horse was shot by a bow and arrow and fell to the ground. King Hong rolled on the spot in terror and hid behind the horse's corpse. The feathered arrows in the air are still flying, and I don't know how many soldiers have been killed or wounded. The screams continued one after another, and it took a while for a few soldiers to hold their shields and find King Hong lying on the ground. Several shields were shielded in front of him, and then someone lifted King Hong up from the ground.

In the dark, the Yanling people's bows and arrows were actually shot so accurately, King Hong turned his head and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Quick! Go and put out those torches! Only then did his soldiers realize that the torches were the enemy's target designation, and immediately several of them ran over with their shields raised. But the rain of arrows came too densely, and before he could run a few steps, he fell to the ground with an arrow in his leg, and before he could call for help, he was immediately nailed to death by a flying bow and arrow.

There was the sound of bows and arrows flying down, and it seemed that the Yanling people had mobilized all the archers together.

Unexpectedly, the night was originally an advantage that King Hong relied on, but at this time, it turned into an advantage for the Yanling people, it seems that the laws of nature are fair and impartial to anyone.

King Hong hid tightly behind the shield, and at this time despair rose in his heart, thinking about the praying mantis catching cicadas, but he was followed by a yellow finch by his opponent. Sima Hongyan can even run away to give him a trick, and the treacherous change of mind is unguardable, and King Hong has a deep sense of powerlessness about this.

The Dongning soldiers who reacted used anything that could block them, and some even held up the corpses of their dead companions, as long as they could block those deadly bows and arrows, they didn't care about anything.

In the bloody darkness, a beam of light suddenly shot in, King Hong squinted his eyes, and finally the first rays of morning sunlight were revealed behind the horizon.

After the light appeared, the arrow rain of the Yanling people finally stopped, followed by the sound of the galloping of war horses.

King Hong knew that Yanling's cavalry would arrive if he delayed for a while, and he didn't care how many of his men died, so he stood up and ran back, and at the same time said to the soldiers who were guarding him: "Let everyone retreat, and retreat to the city immediately." ”

The soldiers shouted loudly, beckoning their men to retreat, and those who heard the shouts immediately got up from the ground and ran back lifelessly, and when they passed by King Hong, they didn't even look at it, they only had the thought of fleeing for their lives.

The ground was littered with the corpses of soldiers and horses, and it was also pierced with feathered arrows, and at first glance, it looked like the ground was covered with black weeds.

Fortunately, a group of Dongning soldiers who followed behind survived, it turned out that they immediately turned around and ran after realizing that the front was wrong, and the number of bows and arrows shot at them was not large, so they luckily avoided the rain of arrows. At this time, the rain of arrows stopped, and they rushed to the rescue.

Seeing the embarrassed King Hong, a soldier immediately handed over a horse, King Hong jumped on the horse and fled towards the city gate, this time King Hong's army was really like a lost dog in a hurry, everyone was afraid of running slow and falling behind.

The sound of the hooves of the Yanling cavalry was always chasing behind, and the rapid and shocking sound was like a talisman, which made the surviving people in Dongning tremble, and they only hated that they had lost two legs.

Fortunately, they ran fast and were not overtaken by their pursuers when they reached the city gate. When King Hong arrived, there was already a group of defeated soldiers banging on the city gates and shouting and screaming. King Hong didn't expect that he would come on horseback all the way, and he was not as fast as these people to escape back.

When he arrived at his own city gate, King Hong was terrified. There were defenders in the city, and the Yanling pursuers did not dare to move forward. King Hong tidied up his clothes and armor a little, raised his head and shouted at the city wall: "Who is the city guard?" Come out and speak! Hearing King Hong speak, the noisy deserters immediately fell silent.

After a while, a guard on the city wall showed his head and asked, "Who is under the city?" If you dare to trespass on the city gates, you will release arrows if you don't leave me. ”

King Hong was slightly angry, and said in his heart: "We are all wearing Dongning clothes and armor and ask us who we are!" However, he also knew that this was the defender of the city, and he was afraid that someone would pretend to replace him, so he shouted to the above: "This king is the emperor's royal brother Lan Shengwu, who fought with the enemy soldiers of Yanling all night last night, and at this time he wants to enter the city to rest, and ask this general to open the door for us." As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his bosom, held it high above the top and said to the guard: "This is the king's talisman, and please see it clearly to the brothers who defend the city." ”

The distance was far, but the man in the city actually saw it clearly, and he exclaimed: "It turns out that it is really His Royal Highness King Hong." He also asked King Hong to forgive his sins, and his subordinates went to open the city gate. With that, he turned around and ran.

After not waiting for a long time, I heard a piercing "creaking" sound from the tall and heavy city gate, and the gate slowly opened.

This fate was saved, and King Hong's heart was completely settled. Although he suffered a big loss last night, he also dealt a heavy blow to Sima Hongyan. As long as his life is still there, there are still hundreds of thousands of defenders in the capital, and he can compete with Sima Hongyan again.

King Hong was still a little proud of this, he was able to escape unharmed in such a dangerous situation last night, which shows that God also thinks that his life should not be extinguished.

"This is the so-called catastrophe and immortality, there will be a blessing, it seems that the people of Yanling are destined to be defeated under the hands of this king!" King Hong thought with some excitement.

Knowing that the city gate was about to be opened, those embarrassed soldiers immediately rearranged their formation, followed King Hong and entered the city gate with a strong spirit, and now they finally have a little joy for the rest of their lives.

There will be wins and losses in wars, and there will be casualties in wars, these King Hong are not worried, as long as he is alive, everything will not be over.

King Hong marched into the city first, and the defenders on both sides stood solemnly and orderly. King Hong thought in his heart: "The defenders in the capital are much more orderly than before, and it seems that Wen Haizheng is still very good at leading troops." This group of elite soldiers made King Hong very happy, and he had already begun to secretly think that if such soldiers came into his hands, he would be more sure to deal with the Yanling army.

Just as King Hong was secretly thinking in his heart, several defenders came up under the leadership of a small general. King Hong saw that the general was vaguely the person who was talking to him at the head of the city just now, and the general hugged his fists and said, "King Hong is hard! We've been waiting for a long time! ”

Without waiting for King Hong to answer, suddenly the guards around the general suddenly rushed up and immediately knocked down the soldiers around King Hong, and King Hong was furious and immediately drew his sword. Before his hand could touch the hilt of his sword, he was knocked off his horse by the guards who pounced on him. As soon as he landed, five or six more people pounced, held down King Hong's hands and feet, and took advantage of the situation to tie King Hong up with a rope.

As soon as this side moved, the defenders guarding both sides of the road aimed their weapons at the same time at the subordinates of King Hong, who had just entered the city, and many soldiers jumped out of the shadows, all of them drew their bows and arrows to aim at the remnants of King Hong, as long as anyone dared to move a little, ten thousand arrows were fired immediately.

The soldiers of King Hong were stunned by this sudden turn of events, and they did not understand what was going on, but they knew that there was no chance of resistance now.

A few smart people immediately threw down the weapons in their hands, and nervously said: "It's all your own people, don't be impulsive!" The rest of the soldiers threw their weapons and raised their hands in embarrassment.

King Hong angrily scolded and shouted, "Bold! Do you dare to commit an offence against this king, and do you know the consequences of offending this king? ”

The soldiers ignored him and dragged him off the ground, and one of the soldiers groped around him, taking off his sword and self-defense dagger.
