Chapter 672, Panic

Princess Qionghua sighed, looked at her for a while, and said leisurely: "Since Dali has no choice, it is better to return to the Central Plains Dynasty!" ”

Fan Yong looked at this beautiful and wise princess, and admiration rose in his heart. People always love to criticize others and should focus on the overall situation, but people are always selfish, how many people can really focus on the overall situation? But Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her has done her job of focusing on the overall situation, and this alone is sincerely admirable.

Fan Yong said: "Her Royal Highness the princess will never regret today's choice. Her Royal Highness the princess has seen the prosperity of Daming, and today's prosperity of Daming must be the scene of Dali tomorrow. ”

Princess Qionghua looked at Fan Yong and nodded slightly.

Emperor Dali paced back and forth in the study, looking anxious, worried about the coalition army coming in, and then wondering if the Ming was playing some tricks, emotional ups and downs, gains and losses. A palace maid came in with tea, put it on the bookcase, and pushed it aside. The emperor walked to the bookcase, picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes widened, and he threw the teacup to the ground suddenly, choking, the teacup fell to pieces, and the tea splashed in all directions! The palace maid was startled, and the emperor yelled at the palace maid: "It's so hot, do you want to kill me?" The palace maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The emperor was furious and shouted, "Someone! Several eunuchs immediately entered the study. The emperor pointed to the palace maid who was trembling and kneeling on the ground and shouted: "Drag this cheap maid down and whip fifty lashes fiercely!" Several eunuchs looked at each other, and the palace maid was already so frightened that she kowtowed and begged for mercy. The emperor was unmoved, and shouted at several eunuchs who were hesitating: "Do you want to resist the decree? Several eunuchs were in their hearts, and with the idea that the dead Taoist friends would not die and the poor Dao, they hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the palace maid down. The palace maid begged for mercy, but it was of no use. After a few moments, the screams of the palace maids and the crackling of the whip were heard, and the Emperor's anger subsided slightly.

The maid was whipped and carried back to her lodgings and laid down on her own bed. The palace maid was whipped on her back, and her flesh and blood were blurred, so she lay on the bed, already dying. The other palace maids saw this scene, although they were all shocked, but they were even more gloating, usually that palace maid was liked by His Majesty, and she could be around Your Majesty, which had long made everyone jealous and inexplicable, and now she was beaten half to death, which can really be said to be very happy! Seeing that she was seriously injured, all the palace maids watched coldly, and said sarcastic words, but no one came up to care for her! The palace maid was innocently tortured, and she was already sad in her heart, but at this time, she saw that everyone gloated and had no sympathy, and her grief couldn't help but turn into resentment!

Just then, a man came in. Seeing this, the palace maids hurriedly bowed: "Niangniang! "It turned out that it was Concubine Dao who came in, her surname was Dao, she was the daughter of a patriarch of the Pengyi clan, and the reason why she married the emperor was naturally because of political reasons; However, the sword Baifeng was also a beauty in a thousand, so she was very favored by the emperor at the beginning of entering the palace. However, the appearance is easy to age, with the passage of time, although the knife concubine is still MILF charm, but compared with the young and new concubines who entered the palace, it is much inferior, gradually, the emperor no longer comes to her, she has no children, the years in the palace are lonely, and the resentment slowly takes root in her original pure heart and grows strongly. Now, she has no feelings for that emperor for a long time, and all that remains is endless resentment, dreaming back at midnight, I don't know how many times I dreamed that she killed that man with her own hands, she was really unhappy! However, when I woke up, I found that it was just a dream, and I couldn't help but feel lost.

Dao Guifei said to the palace maids: "You all go out!" Although the sword concubine is already an outdated nobleman, after all, she killed her master, and the palace maids did not dare to disobey her, so she made a promise and retreated. In the room, only the sword concubine and the tortured palace maid were left.

The palace maid struggled to sit up, and the concubine Dao stepped forward, pressed her shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "You are injured, don't move!" Looking at the bloody appearance on the palace maid's back, she couldn't help frowning, "How can that man be so fierce and can do such a vicious attack on a young girl!" "The palace maid had just been tortured, and she had seen the indifference of people's hearts, and she was in a time of sorrow, but now she saw that the concubine Niangniang cared for herself so much, and she couldn't control her emotions, and tears burst out of her eyes.

Concubine Dao carefully untied the palace maid's clothes, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully, and then took out the gold sore medicine and smeared it for the palace maid. The palace maid was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, slave maid, how can the slave maid, how can ......" Saying that, the palace maid's voice choked, and her heart was full of gratitude to this noble concubine.

Dao Guifei smiled and said, "Nothing, lie on your stomach." ”

The palace maid lay down on her stomach according to the words of the concubine, and she couldn't help but feel an impulse in her heart, feeling that the concubine treated herself like this, and she was dying for the concubine, which was also good! ……

The emperor woke up in the middle of the night with a loud scream. When the guards outside the door heard the shouting, they hurried in, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the emperor unharmed and sitting at the head of the bed. They were terrified when they heard the Emperor's shouts just now, and they thought something had happened!

The Emperor recalled the scene in his dream just now, and he was terrified, and he gasped for breath. Then he saw the guards standing at the gate with lanterns, and the nameless fire rushed up and shouted, "What are you doing here?" Who called you in? Get out! Get out! The guards knew that the emperor had been in a bad mood recently, and when they saw that the emperor was angry, who dared to stay, they immediately rushed out and closed the palace gate. , The emperor was still panting, only to feel that there was nowhere to vent his resentment.

Knock knock knock ......, the palace gate rang a few times. The emperor frowned and asked in annoyance, "What's the matter?" ”

The knocking on the door immediately stopped, and then a cautious voice of a eunuch came: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation sent by the Privy Council!" ”

The emperor couldn't help but get nervous, feeling that it must not be a good thing, and his mood couldn't help but get worse. got down from the bed, put on a robe, walked to the door, opened the palace door, and the eunuch outside the palace gate hurriedly bent down. The emperor asked angrily, "Where are the people?" The eunuch hurriedly said, "I'm waiting in the imperial study!" The Emperor walked straight to the Imperial Study.

When I came to the imperial study, I saw the Privy Councillor, and the Privy Councillor hurriedly saluted and said, "Wechen greets Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor took a deep breath and asked angrily, "What's the bad news again?" ”

The privy councillor said with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, good news! 10,000 Ming war horses suddenly appeared under the Longwei Pass and repelled the Tianzhu army! ”

The emperor was stunned, and then an extremely excited expression surged into his face, and he asked urgently, "Really?" ”

The privy councillor nodded and said, "It's an urgent report I just received, please take a look at it!" As he spoke, he handed over an official document with both hands. The emperor hurriedly took the official document, opened it, and read it. His brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "It's just a round of offensive that disintegrates the Tianzhu Army!" I thought the Tianzhu army was repulsed! ”

The Privy Councillor said: "With this 10,000 Ming army entering Longwei Pass, there will definitely be no critical situation in Longwei Pass in the short term." When the Ming army rushed to the front line, it must be able to contain the enemy's offensive. The Emperor nodded, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart, a bit like scratching his boots. I have been looking forward to it, and the support of the Ming Army has finally arrived, but it is like scratching the itch in the boots, and it is not happy at all!

In the big tent of the Tianzhu army outside Longwei Pass, the commander of the Tianzhu army, Kshatriya, was pacing back and forth in the big tent, with a very annoyed face; The generals stood on either side, and all of them looked depressed. Not long ago, the Tianzhu army stormed Longwei Pass like a tide, and saw that the Dali army was about to collapse, and Longwei Pass was about to be taken. But at this critical time, the Ming Army suddenly appeared. This is not something that makes them depressed, they have long received information and know that the Ming army is on the way, so when the army attacked Longwei Pass, it was also ready to deal with the enemy's surprise attack, and 5,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry troops were arranged on each flank.

In the eyes of Tianzhu people, such an arrangement can be said to be foolproof. However, what made the Tianzhu people unbelievable was that 10,000 Ming cavalry appeared in the northeast direction, and their 5,000 cavalry were actually divided in an instant under the charge of the opponent's cavalry, and then the large array composed of their own 30,000 infantry troops also collapsed in front of the opponent's landslide and tsunami-like charge! The Tianzhu soldiers from Kshatriya and below couldn't believe their eyes, and they didn't believe that 10,000 Ming warriors could defeat their own 35,000 cavalry in an instant!

After a short period of horror, he came back to his senses and immediately ordered all the armies to stop attacking, and at the same time ordered all the war horses to meet him. 10,000 Ming war horses and tens of thousands of Tianzhu war horses were mixed together, killing the sky dark. Seeing that it was difficult to defeat the enemy's cavalry, and the enemy's infantry was rapidly shrinking, and the fighters had died, the Ming army gave up the attack, broke away from the battle with the Tianzhu cavalry, and went straight to Longwei Pass. There was thunder of joy in Longwei Pass, and the Dali soldiers, who were already desperate, now regained their confidence. The Tianzhu army outside the city was demoralized after such a round of impact by the Ming army, so they collected their troops and returned to the camp.

Kshatriya stopped, looked at Singar, the forward general who had been heavily reprimanded by him before, and said, "I blame you wrongly! The Ming army is really like a demon! With only 10,000 horsemen, they have beaten hundreds of thousands of our troops! ”

Singh sighed and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, these Ming troops are indeed too fierce!" He glanced at Kshatriya and said, "Generalissimo, for the Ming Army, we must be vigilant!" Kshatriya nodded solemnly. Seeing everyone's frowning and worried looks, knowing that everyone would be captured by the powerful combat power of the Ming army, they were terrified, and this situation was very unfavorable for the next battle. So Kshatriya said: "It is impossible for the Ming army to be so powerful!" The Ming army we met should be the most elite warriors among them! These warriors are limited in number, but there is nothing to be afraid of! "The generals of Tianzhu feel that what the generalissimo said is very reasonable, the number of such Ming troops is very small, and the vast majority of the Ming army is at most equivalent to their own combat effectiveness. As soon as they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but feel that the haze in their hearts disappeared in an instant.

Kshatriya said, "We still have the 'Blade of the Gods'!" No matter how strong the enemy is, they can't resist the impact of the 'Celestial Blade'! "All the generals' eyes lit up, and they only felt that with the 'Heavenly God Blade', all enemies were not a problem at all!

Kshatriya said: "Today's battle situation actually doesn't mean anything at all. The enemy caught us off guard, and the next time we encounter them, they won't have such good luck! The generals echoed one after another, the mood was raging, and the fighting spirit that was beaten down by today's attack of the Ming army seemed to have fully recovered. A general shouted: "I hope that the Ming army will arrive sooner, and we will annihilate them in one go, so that we can swallow the fat lamb of Dali with peace of mind!" The generals followed and shouted. For a while, it feels like these Tianzhu people don't take the Ming Army in their eyes again? Oh, and they're relying on their 'blades'! They thought that they had the 'Celestial Blade' in their hands, and no matter how powerful the enemy was, no matter how many enemies there were, they would all be wiped out in front of the 'Celestial Blade'!

Early the next morning, the Tianzhu army once again gathered heavy troops to storm Longwei Pass, the battle situation was very fierce, the Dali army was inspired by the Ming army, and resisted with all its might, but the number of enemy troops was too much, wave after wave, like the tide that kept surging up, Longwei Pass was like blocking the embankment of the stormy waves, in the face of the turbulent waves, it made people tremble.

The city gate suddenly opened, and the fierce general Huang Xin led nearly 10,000 cavalry to rush out of the city gate, fiercely crashing into the enemy army that was besieging the city, trampling with iron hooves, slashing with knives and guns, only to see flesh and blood flying, Tianzhu soldiers were terrified, and rolled back like a tide.

Just as the Ming Dynasty cavalry let go of the slaughter, a high wall suddenly appeared in front of him. The Ming Dynasty rode and looked at it, and found that it was a huge military array formed by thousands of huge war elephants, like a group of peaks towering, and the momentum was majestic and breathtaking. This Ming war cavalry has seen the war elephant troops of the Yue Li Dynasty, but the war elephant troops of the Yue Li Dynasty and the war elephant troops of Tianzhu are nothing compared to the war elephant troops, if the war elephants of the Yue Li Dynasty are cats, then the war elephants of Tianzhu are huge leopards, and they cannot be said at all!

The rising Ming war cavalry who was killing didn't care about that much, and with a shout, they actually rushed up against the towering war elephant army array.

A rumbling drum sounded in the Tianzhu army, and thousands of war elephants roared and roared, stepping out of their giant legs and rushing towards the Ming war horse. The scene was really like a mountain surging, a great earthquake trembled, smoke and dust rolled, and the Dali army on the city wall in the distance were all pale and frightened to the extreme, and only the Yan Yun army dared to charge in the face of such an enemy.

The two sides approached, the Ming war cavalry raised their cavalry crossbows to shoot, and the rain of arrows flew away against the rolling dust waves, and saw many Tianzhu soldiers on the back of the elephant screaming and falling down, being submerged by the rolling dust waves, and disappeared in an instant. The driver of a war elephant was shot down, and the hand of the driver was still holding the reins, and as a result, the war elephant was pulled to one side, and hit the belly of the other war elephant hard, and the two war elephants fell to the ground together with a scream, as if two mountains had collapsed, boom! However, the attack of the Ming army basically failed to disrupt the charging momentum of the war elephant troops, and many war elephants rushed forward even more frantically after being shot in the flesh!

The two waves were instantly loaded together, and the Ming war cavalry faced the huge war elephant, frantically wielding the spear and sword, the spear pierced into the belly of the war elephant, and the war knife slashed the giant leg of the war elephant, and the war elephant fell to the ground with a mournful roar, throwing off the Tianzhu soldiers on their backs; The crazy war elephant rushed towards the Ming war horse, the fangs were picked, the Ming war horse was picked up and flew out, the giant leg kicked, the war horse could not stand it, and fell out with a scream, and the knight on horseback flew far away! The scene was full of smoke and dust, and the battle was very fierce!

Huang Xin saw that he could not withstand the fierce attack of the war elephants, and in just a moment, his own war cavalry had already suffered heavy losses, so he immediately issued an order and led the war cavalry to disengage from contact with the Tianzhu war elephant troops and run towards Chengguan. The Tianzhu war elephant troops were able to kill, and they did not spare the pursuit, and the screams of the war elephants resounded in the sky, shocking!

Yan Yun rode under the city gate, turned his horse's head, and saw the enemy's war elephant troops surging like a tide. Huang Xin raised his voice and shouted: "Prepare to blast the sky thunder fire oil tank!" The soldiers immediately took out the thing that started the fire, lit a torch, stuck it on the side of the saddle, and then each took out the thunder or the canister of fire oil from the saddle bag. Huang Xin had already anticipated that he might face the enemy's war elephant troops before leading the war cavalry to attack, so each war horse was equipped with weapons such as thunderbolts, fire oil canisters, etc.

Seeing that his subordinates were ready, Huang Xin immediately raised his long knife and swung it forward, shouting, "Kill!" The Ming war cavalry let out a loud cry, urging the war horses to rush out. The soldiers of the Dali army on the city wall and the Tianzhu soldiers in the distance couldn't help but feel shocked when they saw the Ming war cavalry charging the terrible war elephant army array again, and a feeling of awe couldn't help but come to their hearts! Regardless of whether the Ming War Cavalry wins the war elephant army in the end, their fearless spirit of forgetting life and death alone is awe-inspiring!

The torrent of Ming war horses rushed towards the enemy war elephant troops rolling like a mountain, and the war elephant seemed to be excited, constantly screaming, resounding between the heavens and the earth, the driver on the back of the war elephant desperately drove away the war elephant, and the soldier in charge of the attack held the weapon and screamed.

As the two sides approached, the Ming cavalry lit the canisters of fire oil or thunder in their hands, and threw them at the oncoming enemy war elephant troops. In an instant, the sound of a violent explosion drowned out the roar of the war elephants, and the smoke and dust billowed and the flames rolled up, and the enemy's war elephant troops seemed to be completely submerged in the smoke and dust of the flames. However, in an instant, countless scarred and completely frantic war elephants actually rushed out of the billowing flames and dust, and rushed towards the Ming War Horse! Huang Xin and the others were taken aback when they saw such a scene, and they didn't care about thinking about what was going on, so they hurriedly waved their blades to meet them. The frantic war elephant howled in the middle of the Ming war cavalry and rushed forward, and the Ming war cavalry turned on his back, unable to resist at all! Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Xin immediately ordered to lead the Ming war cavalry to retreat from the battle into Longwei Pass.

When the Tianzhu soldiers saw that their war elephant troops had defeated the Ming war cavalry, they were inexplicably excited, and they shouted one after another, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Kshatriya immediately ordered the war elephant troops to retreat, and then ordered the assault troops to continue the attack.

The Tianzhu army surged towards Longwei Pass like a tidal wave, and the siege battle began again.

Huang Xin led the war cavalry to retreat into Longwei Pass, immediately counted the number of his subordinates, and found that there were less than 6,000 people left, and he was depressed and annoyed by something, and at the same time he was puzzled, and he didn't understand that the war elephants of the Yue Li Dynasty were even afraid of fire, how the war elephants of the Tianzhu people were not only not afraid of fire, but also not afraid of the loud thunder of the sky! It turns out that the Tianzhu people have always relied on war elephants to fight, in thousands of years, their enemies will naturally think of using fire or loud noises to deal with war elephants, Tianzhu people have suffered a big loss, did not give up the war elephants, but further training the war elephants, using loud noises, fire training war elephants, over time, although the war elephants of the Tianzhu people will go crazy because of the loud fire, but it is still controllable, but the loud fire will make them even more crazy! Therefore, the thunderbolts and canisters of fire oil thrown by Yanyun War Cavalry just now not only failed to scare away the Tianzhu War Elephants, but instead aroused their ferocity, and they could no longer be resisted.

The morale of the Tianzhu soldiers continued to attack, and the Dali soldiers gradually felt that they could not resist, and their morale gradually dissipated. In the afternoon, the Tianzhu army had already torn several gaps in the city wall, and the Dali soldiers began to rout. At this moment, Huang Xin had to lead his war horses to abandon their horses, and go up the city wall on foot to fight, the Tianzhu soldiers were far less powerful than their war elephants, and under the fierce counterattack of the Ming soldiers, they gradually lost control of the city, and the fierce Ming army made them feel very frightened; The Dali soldiers were inspired by the Ming soldiers, mustered up the courage to fight back violently, and finally cooperated with the Ming army to annihilate the Tianzhu army that attacked the city.

The Tianzhu army's offensive paused, and then attacked again. However, because the Ming army helped the Dali army to defend the city, the Tianzhu army was never able to break through the city defense. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Kshatriya saw that his soldiers had exhausted their sharpness, so he had to order a temporary retreat. In the sound of drums, the Tianzhu army receded like a tidal tide at low tide. The soldiers of the defenders at the head of the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the Tianzhu army retreating. The originally noisy and fierce battlefield was quiet in an instant, and the corpses under the city walls were like mountains, and the city was also full of corpses. Although the Tianzhu army suffered heavy losses, the defenders also paid a heavy price. At the head of the city, some Dali soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, and more defenders were sitting there silently.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
