On the back of the galloping horse, Xi Yan saw the skyrocketing fire in Anding City from a distance, and the horsewhip in his hand was thrown down fiercely, and Sa Luzi accelerated again, rushing towards the city gate at the fastest speed.

The gates were wide open, and there were no defenders on the city, only scattered corpses.

A burst of despair suddenly surged in Xi Yan's heart, the city has been broken, is it too late?

"Childe! South Gate! ”

The scout shouted quickly, "Da Zhao's rear army is concentrated at the south gate, and the front army has entered the city!" ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Xi Yan's general order was quickly conveyed, and the originally mixed Tong Fei Army and the Southwest Army were instantly divided into two groups, and the black iron armor of the Yu Fei Army rushed into the city, and the Southwest Army turned its horse and ran towards the south gate.

Xi Yan's arm rotated, the sword was out of its sheath, and the blade of the sword flashed a cold glow under the firelight, and his heart was very anxious, and he only hated that the war horse could not be faster...... I also hated myself, why did I only let more than 20,000 people stay in peace......

Anding City has been stained with blood, and the lanterns in front of the Yinshan Gambling House have been splashed with blood, and they are about to approach the north of the city, when Xi Yan sees the crowd in the scuffle.

The long sword fell, and a cavity of blood splashed high, but there were too many enemy troops blocking in front of him, and on the streets of the city, the cavalry could no longer set up a position, and the lieutenant general shouted loudly, and many sergeants immediately jumped off their horses and changed horse combat to foot combat.

Only Xi Yan still rushed forward on horseback, and it was not until he saw that the crumbling gate of Xi Mansion and Thorn Shi Mansion had not been breached, and he slowed down his pace and fought with the two enemy soldiers who were entangled in him.

Two more blood spurted out, and the soldiers finally rushed to Xi Yan's side. The team of dozens of people was like a sharp arrow, shuttling through the rain of bullets and arrows, and the waves of people with the enemy army.

More than ten zhang away, Xi Yan saw that in the open space in front of the gate of Xi's mansion, nearly a hundred enemy soldiers surrounded more than a dozen defenders dressed in guard clothes, these people leaned against the gate with their backs, and kept blocking the sharp blades in the hands of the attackers with weapons in their hands.

Xi Yan drove his horse and rushed over, the sword light and silver flashed suddenly, there were no fancy moves, all of them were the most powerful and direct swordsmanship, those Da Zhao officers and soldiers were quickly cut down by the Fei Army, more and more reinforcements came, and the enemy army ...... Finally, they were blocked out of the last door.

The east had already revealed a trace of gray, and the shouting and killing in the city gradually weakened, and finally disappeared...... On this night, the originally prosperous stability was stained with tragic injuries, and those blood-stained ruins and ruined walls, as well as the wolf smoke like cranes soaring into the sky, were telling everyone how cruel this night was.

Almost no one of the officers and soldiers of Dazhao who rushed into the city was spared, nearly 50,000 people, all of whom were turned into dead souls under the iron hooves of the defenders and the Fei Army in the city...... To death, they didn't believe it, how could Xi Yan come back!

He Fangping roared even more frantically: "How can this be!? Xi Yan is nearly a thousand miles away from Daqing Pass, how can he return to help stability!? ”

"General!" A herald rushed forward in horror, "Tens of thousands of southwestern troops have surrounded them!" His Royal Highness the King of Liao ordered you to lead the army to retreat to the mouth of the Qujiang River, and this time the campaign was stable...... Fail! ”

He Fangping almost gritted his teeth, and what made him most sad and angry was that he could have captured Anding!

"Pass me the order!" He Fangping roared, "After the descript camp is broken, the rest of the troops will form their own formations and retreat to the mouth of the Qujiang River. ”

As soon as the general was issued, the remaining Da Zhao soldiers fled to the Qujiang River in an orderly manner, trampling and trampling several people along the way.

"What about the people in the city?"

The herald seemed to be a little incredulous that General He, who had always been lenient and benevolent, would say such a military order.

He Fangping almost kicked the herald to the ground, "Xi Yan's men and horses have all arrived at the south gate, do the people in the city still have a way to live!?" ”

The herald was stunned for a moment, but then understood that the siege of the city must have been lifted......

Looking at the Zhao soldiers who retreated like a tide, the soldiers of the Southwest Army waved their banners, and 50,000 horses chased after them, and the remnants of the Great Zhao army that fled in a hurry fled to the mouth of the Qujiang River after He Fangping was lost in his hometown several times.

Xi Yan pursed his lips, which had turned white, and settled this ancient city, which was put to death in the past few days, and then struggled to survive......

On this night, the Fei Fei army almost created a miracle, seven consecutive days and nights of rapid marching, eating, drinking and sleeping on horseback, at most only resting in the wilderness for half an hour, and then getting on the horse and marching again.

After arriving at Anding, Xi Yan did not have a moment to rest, and immediately led the army into battle, blocking the originally aggressive Dazhao army in front of the last gate.

The sword was sheathed, and at this time, the first rays of dawn were ushered in on the horizon.

The gate of Xi's Mansion was pushed open from the inside, and Xi Yan saw at first glance that An Ruofei was standing on the stone steps with her hands down to herself, except for being a little haggard, she was no different.

When the figure that had been thinking about Luo Tuo appeared outside the door, An Ruofei saw him smile at him, and then he almost closed his eyes tiredly.

Xi Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, no matter what, he didn't live up to her.

……

There was a smell of medicine in the room, An Ruofei leaned on the edge of the bed, and Xi Yan was sleeping soundly on the wide and soft bed.

For seven days and nights, almost sleeplessly, and as soon as he returned to the reinforcements, he began to fight again, and he was so tired that he fell asleep in the bath even while bathing.

The sleeping man's brows were still furrowed, and his slightly rough slender fingers tightly held her wrist, for fear that he would let go of it accidentally, everything after the war was temporarily arranged by Liu Peiqi, no matter what, he finally got a moment of peace.

The doctor has already come to see it, except for overwork and some minor injuries, Xi Yan is not a big problem.

It wasn't until the moon outside the window began to sink in the west again that he woke up.

An Ruofei had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed, her wrist was still pinched by him, and even because of the slightly greater force, there were already a few reddened fingerprints on her white wrist.

Xi Yan opened it easily, but it alarmed her who was still nervous in her sleep.

I opened my eyes in confusion, but met his eyes that were as deep as the sea.

"Why don't you come up to sleep?"

Holding her with both arms, he gently hugged her into his arms, "For nearly ten hours, you have been guarding me like this?" ”

An Ruofei smiled, but his face was still a little tired, and he was about to get up after tidying up the corners of his clothes: "Are you hungry?" I've got you some food, and you'll be hungry when you wake up......"

Before the words were finished, the whole person was hugged by him from behind, "Since you know that the Great Zhao army is coming to attack the city, why don't you run?" ”

Although it was a reproachful word, the man's tone was still gentle.

"I'm afraid...... You come back, but I'm not at home. Knowing you're coming back, I'll always be waiting for you. ”

Xi Yan frowned, and reprimanded: "You can be fine, as for this mansion, it is just a few houses, and it is nothing." You're the one I care about the most, don't you understand? ”

An Ruofei put his face close to his chest and said softly, "I'm just worried...... You won't be able to see me when you come back. ”

"What should I say about you," Xi Yan rubbed her green silk, and her tone immediately became serious, "What I care about is your safety, as long as you are thorough, even if it makes me worry in vain...... It's worth it, too. ”

"Hmm!" An Ruofei nodded, gently broke free from his embrace, took the food box to the table in front of the bed, Xi Yan looked at her with a smile, then got up and got out of bed, and put the food box back on the round table in the hall.

"If I had to eat by the bedside, wouldn't I be so uncomfortable?"

An Ruofei pursed his lips and smiled, and the lid was lifted, and the aroma of warm food came to his nose.

This food box is extremely elegant, the bottom layer is hot charcoal, the middle layer holds water, the charcoal fire boils the water, and the dishes are always steamed, even if it is a long time, the top layer of the meal will not become cold, when An Ruofei uncovers the food box, the food is still steaming.

"It's all light dishes you love to eat, bamboo shoots and fern wontons or Xinghuazhai, although you don't like to drink this ginseng black chicken soup, but you should eat some to replenish your body, it's been so many days...... You don't feel sorry for yourself, but I feel sorry for you. ”

"Okay," Xi Yan agreed with a light smile and drank the bowl full of chicken soup in one bite.

Earlier, when he was in Chongdu, Xi Yan didn't like to eat medicinal food the most, and he always felt that it was too bitter, but today he still endured the bitterness and swallowed it, just to live up to her wishes.

An Ruofei was full of joy, and even smiled sweetly, took a piece of deer breast and put it in his bowl, and said softly: "Make up for it again...... You're probably exhausted. ”

"Okay," his gentle and mellow voice fell straight into her heart, "you should eat more, I haven't seen you for more than two months, how do I think you seem to be thinner." ”

"Isn't it good to lose weight?" An Ruofei served him another bowl of porridge, "People say that women should be weak and graceful." ”

"What kind of bastard is this," Xi Yan forcibly picked all the meat slices into her bowl, "Huan Fei Yan has its own merits, and if you diet too much, it will hurt your body." Other women want to be skinny, but as for you...... Anything. ”

An Ruofei smiled softly, the red candle was about to burn out, and there was a glimmer of light outside the window.
