Chapter 472 Chapter 472: Defeat and Retreat......
Yebei was seriously injured, and Xuanwu hurriedly called Shen Boliang to treat him.
Wang Kui and Wei Huaishan heard the movement and hurriedly walked in from outside the tent.
Seeing this, the two immediately understood something, and hurriedly walked in front of Ye Beicheng to check the injury.
Ye Beicheng was leaning on the bed, his face was completely bloodless because of the unbearable pain.
Wang Kui said: "It's the last general's dereliction of duty, I don't know that this spy from Xiling can also disguise ......."
Yebei Chengqiang endured the pain and said, "It's okay, Xiling is cunning, it's the king's negligence......"
Wei Huaishan said: "With Imperial Doctor Shen here, it will definitely be fine!" ”
Unexpectedly, after Shen Boliang looked at the wound, he gasped.
He searched for the weapon that hurt the assassin and said with a solemn face: "The prince was also injured by this silver worm...... Moreover, the toxicity of this silver worm is even more domineering than that of ordinary silver worms, and I am afraid that it has been specially fed with poisonous blood! ”
"I'm afraid that the people of Xiling have been preparing for this assassination for a long time......"
Wang Kui hurriedly said: "Then what to do now?" "Xiu Shushu
Shen Boliang said: "For today's plan, the lower officials can only use silver needles to force out the poisonous blood first, but this wound cannot be healed, and the prince needs to recuperate for a few days, and he can't use force anymore......"
Wei Huaishan said: "The prince only cares about his body, and everything is with me and Vice General Wang." ”
Ye Beicheng coughed twice in a low voice, swallowed the blood gushing up from his throat, and said coldly: "Tonight, let the soldiers cheer up their spirits, if this king guesses well, Xiling will definitely take this opportunity to sneak attack the camp......"
At the same time, the soldiers standing on the sentry tower were so cold that they stomped their feet.
The wind at the border is strong, especially in the cold winter, the wind is mixed with fine snow, which is so cold that people are so cold that they don't feel sleepy.
The soldier rubbed his hands together and walked back and forth on the sentry post, constantly observing the movements around him.
Suddenly, the sentry's movement suddenly stopped, and he looked intently not far away, as if a dark shadow was rapidly approaching in the direction of the camp.
Because it was dark and he couldn't see it clearly, the sentry hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and in an instant, the black shadow was only a hundred feet away from the camp.
As the distance closed, the dark shadow became clearer, and the sentry couldn't help but be shocked.
It's just because the black shadow is none other than the Xiling people with bows and crossbows!
The sentry was about to blow his horn, but a silver thread pierced through the night and shot straight at him. Suddenly, only to hear a "poof", the silver filament pierced the flesh and blood, piercing the sentry's neck, and the sentry's body fell from the high sentry tower.
The Xiling people attacked the camp at night, but fortunately, Yebeicheng had expected it, so Wang Kui and others could take precautions as soon as possible.
Suddenly, the two armies fought, and the battle shook the sky.
It's just that the weapons of the Xiling people are becoming more and more vicious, they feed the silver worms with poisonous blood, and the toxicity is more domineering, plus Yebei Cheng was seriously injured, and the army was disheartened, which made the Xiling people press forward step by step, and the Great Song soldiers with swords were beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back.
In this battle, the Great Song Dynasty soldiers were defeated and retreated, and the city gate was lost in an instant, and a large number of Xiling people poured into the city, slaughtering the people in the city.
Blood splashed in the air, and the Xiling people were cruel and bloodthirsty, and they captured the women in the city, and the men were all killed, leaving no one behind.
Dawn breaks.
Everywhere you look, there is the smoke of war, and corpses are everywhere.
The news soon reached the imperial court.
Yebei was seriously wounded, and the Great Song Dynasty was defeated for the first time.
The Xiling people attacked vigorously, the border defense line collapsed, and Xiling captured several cities one after another, and was about to break through the last defense line of the Great Song Dynasty.
Hearing this news, the Manchao was shocked.
The emperor sat on the throne dejectedly, and suddenly seemed to be dozens of years old.
The emperor threw the fold in front of his ministers and was furious: "How can this be? Didn't I send 50,000 reinforcements to help? Why are they still forced to retreat by the Xiling people? ”
The ministers first looked at each other, and then began to shirk their responsibilities.
As a henchman of the eldest prince, King Ning naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to impeach Ye Beicheng, so he took the lead and said: "It must be Ye Beicheng who is not effective in leading the troops!" Let the Xiling people take advantage of the loophole! ”
"Yebei Cheng has a heavy army, but he is brave and unscrupulous, and he has lost the battle this time, and he has nothing to do with it!"
Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, it's all the incompetence of the night north!" It was only then that the Great Song Dynasty lost a few cities! ”.Ь.
King Ning struck while the iron was hot and said: "The emperor might as well punish him and take away his talisman, so that capable people can go to replace him, and he will definitely beat Xiling to the ground!" ”
At this time, Bai Yutang, who had been silent, finally spoke, and the first sentence was said to King Ning, who had just spoken.
"What King Ning said is extremely true, and Weichen also thinks that Yebei Cheng is brave and unscrupulous."
Seeing that Bai Yutang was all turning against each other, King Ning suddenly felt that he had the chance to win, and this time he would definitely be able to completely pull Ye Beicheng off the high platform!
Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang immediately said: "Weichen thinks that King Ning is brave and strategic, and has excellent ability, so it is better to let King Ning lead his troops to exterminate Xiling, what do you think?" ”
Yu Jishu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "How can this be? King Ning is now very old......"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Bai Yutang said: "Since Lord Yu thinks that King Ning is too old to lead troops to fight, Ben Fu thinks that Lord Yu is young and strong, so it is better to let Lord Yu go to the battlefield instead of King Ning, right?" ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to replace King Ning on the battlefield, Yu Jishu's face changed, and he said, "This ...... How can this work, the lower officials are only shallow in learning, where can they lead troops to fight......"
Bai Yutang sneered: "Since you know that you are a waste, why do you have to make decisions for others here?" ”
In the face of Bai Yutang's coercion, Yu Jishu didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing this, King Ning endured his anger and said, "I have long heard that Lord Bai and the War King Ye Beicheng have a private friendship, but now it seems that it is true. ”
Bai Yutang said: "Benfu just talks about things, unlike King Ning, above the court, in front of the Son of Heaven, he still dares to declare personal vendettas. ”
King Ning's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "You spew blood!" How dare you slander this king in front of the emperor! Aren't you afraid of angering Long Yan? ”
Bai Yutang was naturally not afraid of angering Long Yan, he strode forward to the center of the main hall, and said to the emperor: "King Ning colluded with the eldest prince to embezzle military salaries and forge holy decrees, causing 50,000 reinforcements to be unable to arrive on the battlefield for a long time!" On the battlefield, the soldiers were isolated and stubbornly resisted for months, which was the limit! Now that the city gate is lost, King Ning and the eldest prince are inseparable! I hope the emperor will see it! ”
When the ministers heard this, their faces were full of shock, and the emperor was even more furious, and the anger hit his heart, and the emperor coughed heavily.
"King Ning! Is there such a thing? ”
King Ning pretended to be calm and stepped forward and said, "Bai Yutang's blood mouth is spewing people!" The emperor should not listen to the slander of villains! "Xiu Shu.com
After speaking, King Ning looked at Bai Yutang and said, "Lord Bai, you have to talk about evidence, if you have no evidence, you have committed the crime of bullying the king!" It's going to lose your head! ”
Bai Yutang was not afraid at all, and presented a fold to the emperor without changing his face, and said: "These are all evidence that King Ning and his party embezzled military salaries and smuggled and sold salt!" ”
King Ning's face changed in shock, and he said hesitantly: "This ...... This is perjury......"
