Chapter 555: Victory! The King of England has not returned
The next battle in Hansha City was from the second watch to the dawn, and from the dawn to the twilight.
The north wind passed, the snow was vast, the desert border soil was cracked, and the neighing of the war horse was depressed.
The remnants of the North were finally defeated by the wind and the British army on both sides, and the first general led the team to retreat north.
Du Wei saw it really well from the city tower, and couldn't help but say: "It would be nice if I could ambush a team in advance in the north." ”
Wuxin leaned over and looked at the city, shook his head and said: "No, there is a way to be poor and not chase, the Northern Army can return to its territory from the north, if it is cut off, I am afraid that it will be a battle of trapped beasts." ”
Du Wei looked north, but saw the outline of the peaks faintly exposed in the wind and snow.
She was looking out when she heard the sound of gold chirping in the city.
At the head of the city, all the soldiers raised their arms and cheered in unison, and a team of Xuantie light cavalry took the lead through the battlefield and came straight to Hansha City.
The gate of Hansha City was wide open, and the team of light horsemen was like a sharp blade, driving straight in, with flags flying behind them, and the handsome characters of Dou Da were clearly visible.
Du Wei couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in her heart, turned around and ran towards the city.
But she had stood in the city for so long that her whole body stiffened, and she had barely fallen down the stone steps after taking two steps.
"Miss!"
"Miss beware!"
Unintentionally, his hands were quick and quick, he took a step ahead of them, and reached out to support Du Wei's body.
"Don't be reckless."
Du Wei couldn't care about anything else, "Quick, help me down!" She urged.
When the boss entered the city, King Kang Le personally led people to greet him, and everyone bowed their hands to salute, and the surrounding soldiers knelt on the ground.
When Du Wei stumbled down from the city, Feng Duhan had already dismounted, and Tsing Yi pulled the war horse to the side.
Feng Duhan and King Kang Le greeted each other in a low voice, and the two didn't know what to say, only to see that the soldiers around them all stood respectfully with their heads bowed, not daring to make the slightest transgression.
A trace of cold light flashed under Feng Duhan's eyes, because he had just gone through a fight, so his body was full of Xiao Killing, and his sharp gaze made people dare not look directly.
Du Wei was about to walk down the last few stone steps, when she suddenly felt unintentionally holding her hand for a moment.
Raising his head, he glanced at the cold cast by Feng Dusk not far away, with some warning, like an invisible sword, shooting straight over.
Unintentionally smiled bitterly and let go of the hand holding Du Wei.
At this moment, a war horse suddenly ran from outside the city, and the herald turned down from the horse, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "General Qiqi, His Royal Highness has returned to the city, but His Royal Highness has not returned......
In an instant, the entire Cold Sand City seemed to fall into a terrifying dead silence.
Du Wei had never seen him so angry since she knew Feng Duhan.
"Go and find the lieutenant general next to the king!" King Kang Le shouted loudly.
If something happens to the king, even if the battle is won today, the emperor will be punished.
Seeing this scene, Du Wei involuntarily stopped.
The fact that the King had not returned to the city was a trivial matter, and she could not disturb his decision at this time.
Feng Dusk Han's sword eyebrows frowned, his phoenix eyes exuded a burst of coldness, and he forced his gaze to take his eyes off Du Wei's body.
The lieutenant general who followed the king of England was called.
"Did you see the King when you got back to the city?" King Kang Le asked sharply.
The deputy general was stunned, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the King didn't come back?" ”
King Kang Le snorted coldly, and the deputy general looked at the faces of the generals around him, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, "Not good!" The king of England must be chasing the leader of the enemy army in the north! ”
King Kang was taken aback, "What's the matter?" Didn't he hear the signal from Mingjin in the city to withdraw his troops? ”
The adjutant general explained: "Originally, the last general would retreat with His Royal Highness, but halfway through, I saw the remnants of the North going north, and one of them seemed to be their first general, and the King wanted to chase them, but was dissuaded...... Afterward...... Later, his subordinates led their troops into the city, and they did not notice whether His Royal Highness had entered the city at that time......"
Feng Duhan clenched one hand into a fist, and under the Xuantie battle armor, there were faint water stains of Yin Hong oozing out, but because of the cold weather, it froze into ice ballast before it could flow out.
"Prince ......," King Kang Le hesitated, "It is very likely that the King of England will really go after the head of the North Fan." ”
"Hmm." Feng Duhan's face was cold, as if he hadn't heard what the other party said, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head and ordered Tsing Yi: "You go and transfer 5,000 light cavalry troops over." ”
Tsing Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the light cavalry was the guards around Feng Duhan, even if it was on the official battlefield, they mostly followed Feng Duhan's side to protect his safety, and would not obey the dispatch of other generals.
After a day and a night of scuffle, all the soldiers were sleepy and lacking at this time, and they could only use the light cavalry.
The atmosphere in Cold Sand City suddenly became tense.
Five thousand light horsemen assembled at the city gates, their horses neighing, and from time to time they kicked the frozen ground, and they were about to go into battle again before they could get rest, so they were inevitably a little restless and impatient.
Feng Dusk Hanfu instructed his lieutenant general: "Pass on my military order, all battalions of men and horses will be transferred to King Kangle, and all parts of the city will be strictly defended in case the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the rest of the soldiers will rest and stand by, there must be no mistakes!" ”
"Yes!" The lieutenants responded in unison.
A few generals on the side stepped forward and said, "Prince Shi, let's go find His Royal Highness." ”
Twilight glanced at them coldly, "If you find the English King, are you sure you can persuade him back?" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all deflated.
Feng Duhan is right, even if they can bring reinforcements, but when it comes to who can forcibly bring the king back to the city, the only one in front of them is the mighty general.
The British king has a noble status, how can he listen to the words of ordinary people, plus he is eager for meritorious service, and he wants to capture the head of the north, how can he easily return to the city.
"So it seems...... There can only be you, General Law. ”
"How's it going up north?" Twilight asked.
"There may be an enemy ambush in the mountains to the north, but the number will not be too large, and it was originally set up to prevent our army from crossing the mountains to transmit news." Recreation King's Road.
"Who knows how many men and horses the King has with him?" The wind and twilight looked around.
For a while, no one answered.
The lieutenant generals who had followed the king hesitated: "Xu is bringing about a thousand people......
Whether the King is killed or captured by the enemy, it is an extremely difficult matter for them.
King Kang Le's expression was gloomy, and he muttered: "If the King of England really falls into their hands, I am afraid that he will become a hostage, and Beifan will use this to coerce us into surrendering Kaicheng......"
The wind and twilight cold didn't know that this matter was very important, the cold light of the phoenix eyes was even stronger, and the broken snow whipped on the Xuantie battle armor, adding to the coldness.
The gates of Cold Sand City were opened, and five thousand light cavalry rushed out like a sharp arrow, galloping towards the north.
Du Wei quietly stared at the familiar figure and rode out of the city gate, turning around and glancing at it, there seemed to be a thousand words, but he finally walked away with the five thousand light cavalry......
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Wuxin said lightly, and his tone was slightly consoling.
Du Wei raised her head, and the snow fell in the dark sky, which made her face even more resolute.
"I know." She curled the corners of her lips and paused them.
Wuxin's lips twitched a few times, and finally swallowed back the last words that he didn't ask.
He wanted to ask her what would happen to her if he didn't come back one day.
