Chapter 981: Human Shield

At the entrance of Baichuan Canyon, Zhu Qingjia was blackened by the fire, and his arm was burned, and pus was oozing out. Because I have been trapped in this canyon for more than a month, I am already skinny at this time, and my eyes are dull.

Yan Dui's first words were: "Qin Fei died." ”

Zhu Qingjia was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "He is dead, and reinforcements will never arrive." ”

"Why did you choose to follow him?" This is what Yan Du has always puzzled.

Zhu Qingjia's answer was very simple, "My father is a close minister of Qin Feishi's father, and I was adopted by Shangguan Xu because of this identity, I have never chosen, I am just doing my loyalty." ”

"Foolish."

"Perhaps, but these brothers behind me, they follow me because they trust me. I will wait for my face to tell Your Highness a word of brotherhood, and I beg you to spare them. Saying that, Zhu Qingjia knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Yan Du lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Qingjia, "They are all soldiers of Darong, do you think this king will kill them?" ”

Zhu Qingjia raised his head and said puzzledly: "Wouldn't it?" ”

After all, the two sides are enemies, and they have fought each other before, and the imperial court has ordered them to be exterminated.

Yan Du shook his head, "It's still the same sentence, they are Darong soldiers, they have shed blood and sweat for Darong, and this king will not kill them." They either join the Zhenbei Army, or go home to reunite with their wives and children, and it's up to them to choose. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qingjia still didn't believe it.

Yan Du laughed, "Based on what you know about me, am I going to lie to you?" ”

No, it is not necessary, if he wants to kill them, he can directly bring troops in, and they are afraid that these wounded soldiers will not be able to withstand it for half an hour.

An hour later, Zhu Qingjia came out of the Baichuan Gorge with the trapped 3,000 soldiers, and Yan Du asked his men to be placed in the military camp outside Yu'an City, and treated their injuries first.

After Xiao Meng cleaned up the battlefield, he came to Yan Dui's side, "They have already begun to attack the city. ”

Yan Du nodded, "Let's go to the rescue!" ”

"Okay, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Meng sighed, "What we are going to fight this time is the imperial army, our Darong soldiers." ”

Yan Du knew, but this battle had to be fought.

"By the way, I just got the news that your wife and son have successfully arrived in Zhenbei and returned to the city." Yan Du said to Xiao Meng.

When Xiao Meng heard the news, his hanging heart finally let go, and his face showed ecstasy.

"It must be the princess, the princess saved them."

Yan Du snorted, "You know how bold she is. ”

"The princess is brave and resourceful, and more importantly, she has a good heart."

"But for now, she is still in Shengjing."

On the same day, Yan Du and Xiao Meng led an army of 30,000 to the outside of Youzhou City, and the imperial army that was still besieging the city could only temporarily stop the siege and turn to deal with them.

The fierce fighting continued into the night, and both sides were tired from fighting and there was a temporary truce.

Xiao Meng sighed, "The big guy is not tired, but he can't bear to see his compatriots fall one by one." ”

What's even more odious is that the King of Xiyue Liang forced the imperial army to fight behind his back, in order to avenge their soldiers, but they were in the rear and did not rush forward at all.

"Now it's our big glory cannibalism, and they're waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Yan Du looked at the soldiers who were depressed, and thought that the other party would be the same, otherwise they would not have died down.

The two sides reached a stalemate, and after half a month, that night, the imperial army suddenly remembered the sound of war drums. The Zhenbei army immediately gathered and picked up spears one after another to prepare for battle.

It's just that the other side only beats drums but does not attack, and this time it is the West Vietnamese Army in front.

"Your Highness, they have captured a lot of people as human shields!" The soldiers on the front line came back to report.

Hearing this, Yan Du frowned. And Xiao Meng took the case and scolded these West Vietnamese soldiers for being brutes.

"And one of them......" the soldier paused, "as if it were...... It's the princess! ”

Yan Dusk stood up suddenly, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"It seems to be the princess."

At that moment, Yan Dusk rode to the front, and the two sides were facing each other, and sure enough, the other side was the West Vietnamese army in front, and they captured a lot of civilians and used them as shields to resist the unicorn cannon.

The woman standing at the front was tied hand and foot, with a rope on her mouth, and her face was not clear in the night, but she looked very much like Liu Yunxiang.

"Your Highness, it's the princess!" Chaumont said hurriedly.

Yan Du clenched his fists and shouted at the person opposite, "Don't you think it's disgusting that the two armies are fighting, but you use the people as shields?" ”

Over there, King Liang of Xiyue sat on a tall horse, and sneered when he heard the words, "On the battlefield, everyone has their own abilities, and the important thing is the result, not the means." King Zhenbei, if you have the ability, lead the troops to fight, and the king will give you a big gift immediately. ”

As he spoke, he took his bow and arrows, drew them, and pointed them at the woman standing in the room.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Meng grabbed Yan Dui, "Don't be impulsive." ”

Yan Du stared at the woman tightly, the spear in her hand getting tighter and tighter, almost breaking.

"Zhenbei was originally a part of Darong, and it was so much of a fight, and the dead and injured were all our Darong soldiers, so it would be better for us to take a step back and be happy."

This one?

Yan Du looked over and saw Lu Chang'an riding out from behind the West Vietnamese Army, he was wearing a suit of armor, he was already a decisive commander on the battlefield.

The moment he saw Lu Changan, Yan Duan breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer looked at the woman in the room, but looked at Lu Changan, and raised his eyebrows: "King Suping, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Lu Changan smiled, "It's been a long time." ”

"I almost didn't even recognize you."

"Oh?"

"How did you become the son-in-law of Xiyue, your appearance has changed, half like Darong and half like Xiyue, but I don't know if your heart is towards Darong or Xiyue?"

Lu Changan's face sank, he only scolded him for being a lackey of Xiyue, and when it came to the strange tone of yin and yang, Yan Du and Liu Yunxiang were really first-class.

"This king is naturally a Darong person!" Lu Chang'an Road.

"We Darong people can't do anything to use our own people as human shields, and the Xiyue soldiers shouldn't use their people as human shields, but they can use our Darong people, tsk, the key King of Suping You actually agreed, right?"

Whether it was Zhenbei or the soldiers of the imperial court, they all looked at him, Lu Changan looked at him for a long time, and asked King Liang to let the people of Darong go.

"King Suping, we are here to win the battle, not to talk about morality!" King Liang didn't do it.

Lu Changan said with deep eyes: "Without these people, we can still win the battle." ”

King Liang pondered these words and looked at the woman standing in the room.

"I heard that King Suping and the princess of Zhenbei have a very good relationship, are you really willing to let me release this arrow?"

As he spoke, he drew his bow and made a gesture to release the arrow.

The corners of Lu Chang'an's mouth twitched, "This king has already brought people here, no matter what, she is a death." ”

"Oh?"

"To deal with Zhenbei, you must not fight hard, not only the imperial court will suffer heavy losses, but also Xiyue, I think King Liang has already learned a lesson."

"Hmph, this king is going to kill this Yan Dusk."

"So, we still have to use some stratagem."
