Manual of the East Palace Mutual Performance, Section 107

I don't know what the current situation is in Yunfeng City, I hope that when she rushes to his side, it will not be too late.

It has to be in time.

However, at the end of the day, an army of 20,000 people marched from Xingguang, and the vast soup was flooded to Yunfeng.

She had never ridden a horse for so long. Before leaving, Qing Heng knew that he would persuade her not to stay, so he had already prepared the people and horses to escort her back to Xingguang the same way, just waiting for her to be physically exhausted, so that she could send people back.

Unexpectedly, she waited from dawn to night, she was silent, seeing that Yunfeng was approaching, but she never fell half a step.

Qing Heng was inevitably surprised, he had been sent by His Royal Highness to Miss Song for a while, no matter how disdainful he was, he knew something about her.

When he was in the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised people meticulously, and no matter how big or small, he had to personally inquire about it, and even handle it himself to rest assured - it was not good to be hot, not to be freezing, not even to use it less during meals, or to be stuffy in the room for too long without seeing the sun, this is not good.

Over time, Qing Heng inevitably felt that Song Zhichi was like a precious bird only kept in a golden cage, so delicate that he could be poked to death with a finger if he was not careful.

Such a woman is not suitable to stay by His Highness's side for a long time.

In the past few days in Xingguangcheng, he has only changed a little. It's not like she's weak...... It was His Highness who was too careful with her.

Qing Heng went over the patrol generals, drove the horse to catch up with the chichi, and saw that she had already half-tied herself to the horse.

Seeing him coming, the tie loosened the rope and straightened up, "Don't worry, you can hold it." I'm going to Yunfeng soon, and the war is important, so don't worry about me. ”

Fortunately, my legs were numb a long time ago, and no matter how bumpy the horse's back was, I couldn't feel any pain.

Before Qing Heng could say anything, he suddenly heard the scout shouting: "Report - there is a Khitan army outflanking in a wing formation thirty miles outside the city!" ”

Zhichi was stunned for a moment, she had also heard a lot of military information along the way, and knew that the Khitans had begun to attack the city three days ago, and the battle situation was stalemate, where did she come from to run thirty miles away?

She was shocked: "It's reinforcements?!" ”

Qing Heng's expression was grim, and he suddenly pulled the reins and turned around: "If it is reinforcements, why outflank the city before it is broken." It's the third prince. ”

Hu Zeliang hurriedly climbed up the city wall - he had just heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was supposed to be sitting in the rear, had actually climbed the city wall, and he immediately rushed over.

Let's not talk about what the sage's plan is for this person, even if the sage gets tired of this one day, he will be the prince of the Great Zhou for one day. Swords and guns have no eyes, if the prince folds in him, he will not be enough to cut off ten heads!

The moment he saw the prince, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the prince finished talking to the lieutenant general, the latter was ordered to retreat, Hu Zeliang only took half a step forward, he was keenly aware of it, raised his eyes and looked as sharp as an arrow, Hu Zeliang slammed it, and in an instant it seemed to be nailed to the spot.

Ning Xun's silver-white armor had long been darkened by blood, but the blood was obviously not his own. The people were still safe and sound, but their eyes were red - the Khitans attacked urgently, and their movements were especially frequent at night, counting tonight, it had been four nights.

The tip of the sword was still dripping blood, Xu had just finished the killing ring, and the aura on his body was pressing, and the moment he raised his eyes, Hu Zeliang was cold all over his body, and then his pupils shrank suddenly-the long sword in the prince's hand actually came straight to the door in front of him!

He subconsciously crossed the knife to block, but only heard the sound of "dang" on the side of his ear, as if weapons were connected, followed by the movement of sharp blades cutting through armor and flesh, and the blood was sprayed all over his body after a moment of delay.

He turned his head after realizing it, only to see a Khitan corpse on the ground, still spasmodic.

Ning Xun shook the blood beads on the sword, and only glanced at him lightly, "Mr. Hu's martial arts still need to be refined." ”

Then he raised his hand and shouted, "Archer! ”

The walls of the city were filled with the sound of a tooth-aching bowstring tightening, and he shouted "Arrows!" Ten thousand arrows were fired.

A dense rain of arrows fell, and the Khitan offensive was suspended.

Watching the prince put his sword into the sheath, Hu Zeliang remembered what he had done here: "Your Highness! His Royal Highness is the body of a daughter, and now he is the backbone of the soldiers, the sword and gun have no eyes, and His Royal Highness can sit in the rear......"

Ning Xun interrupted him, "Mr. Hu knows that the third prince has appeared. ”

Hu Zeliang was stunned for a moment, he just heard the news that there were 10,000 reinforcements from the Khitan ten miles away - so he kept persuading the prince to leave here, but he never knew that it was the third prince who had been missing for a long time.

Ning Xun looked at his reaction and understood why there had been no good news in Northern Xinjiang in the past year.

Yunfeng City is difficult to defend and easy to attack, and the third prince appeared at this time, but he made a good calculation.

Among the Khitan troops who are besieging the city, many of them are his old troops, although they have ostensibly returned to the new king, but now that they see the third prince making a comeback, they will respond to every call.

And the defenders in Yunfeng City were exhausted by the previous siege battle, and it was inevitable that their morale would be low due to the reinforcements of the other party, so it was a good opportunity for him to attack the city in one go.

If he captures Yunfeng, he can take Yunfeng City as a basis, enter the Khitan royal court, retreat and continue peace talks with Da Zhou, let Da Zhou help him seize power, as long as he offers enough attractive conditions, cut the city and give away the land, and declare himself a vassal to Da Zhou - both sides are happy, and the emperor has no reason not to be.

Ning Xun didn't want to talk to Hu Zeliang anymore, so he said directly: "After a stick of incense, open the city gate." ”

Hu Zeliang was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness think twice!" ”

Ning Xun sneered, "Okay, then General Hu will wait for Yunfeng to apologize after he loses his position." ”

Although it is dangerous to open the city gate to face the battle, it is also a good opportunity - when the third prince suddenly rushes down, there must be chaos within the Khitan.

When the third prince completely reins in the army's heart, nine times out of ten, Yunfeng will not be able to hold it.

Hu Zeliang slowly figured out the trick, and arched his hand tremblingly: "The last general will not dare, but according to His Highness's orders." ”

Qing Heng discussed with several generals of the accompanying army, since the third prince adopted a wing formation to outflank him, then they would also use the wing formation to catch a praying mantis and catch cicadas and yellow finches behind.

When everything was settled, he realized that Miss Song seemed to be a little uneasy.

He rarely drove forward and took the initiative to comfort: "Girl, don't worry, we have the first opportunity, and we will win this battle." If you can capture the third prince alive, it will still be a great achievement. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Thanks to the girl who transferred 20,000 from General Song, otherwise Yunfeng would have lost this battle." ”

Chichi smiled reluctantly, "With you here, I'm naturally relieved." ”

Qing Heng was only so relieved, and when he heard this, he retreated to check the details.

Looking at Qing Heng's back, the smile on his face quickly faded, showing a little pale.

- Even Qingheng said that if it weren't for their help, Yunfeng City would not be able to hold on. He has been by Ning Xun's side for so many years, and he has also experienced that siege battle back then, so naturally he will not underestimate the strength of the defenders in Yunfeng City.

But she didn't come to Northern Xinjiang in her previous life, and Ning Xun also guarded Yunfeng City - although she was injured, no matter how she said it, it was much lighter than when she only had one breath left.

She thought that being able to transfer troops from Xingguang would make Yunfeng's situation much easier, but she didn't think about it, but it only solved the urgent need.

A very strange thought flashed through her mind.

If she hadn't been able to transfer troops over, would the third prince not have intervened at this time?

The torches hunted against the wind, and the gates were heavy and slowly pushed open.

Ning Xun grabbed the reins and raised his eyes to look at the dark sky outside the city.

Years ago, Yunfeng City was the nightmare he refused to admit.

When he was fourteen years old, he was forced to come to the northern frontier, and everyone rebelled and left, leaving nothing but this position that everyone coveted. Like a lonely boat traveling thousands of miles, he can't trust anyone, even if he slowly envelops the old department in Beijing, and gains a firm foothold in northern Xinjiang, planting his own forces, but he is always like a man's back, and he can't have a moment of peace.

The only thing that can be thought about is his father who is far away in Beijing. Before the collapse of his mother, the emperor was also a good father, but at that time, he still harbored a trace of delusion about the relationship between father and son of the heavenly family.

He was in northern Xinjiang for four years, and his last battle was in Yunfeng. How many people persuaded him to abandon the city, he didn't retreat, and finally used half his life to defend Yunfeng, but after returning to Beijing, his father, who was almost missed by his heart, wanted to take the other half of his life.

It seems that everyone wants to die and hates his life.

It's a long night, and I don't know when it will dawn.

Ning Xun retracted his gaze, turned around, and looked at the soldiers behind him.

With the prince here, no matter what, morale is still high. The drums of war were beating, and the sound of "this battle must be won" was deafening.

Ning Xun pulled out his sword with a bang, and with his shout, "Kill!" The shouts of killing came one after another, and they rushed out of the city gate!

The drums of war did not stop, floating above the sound of fighting, and the suffocating bloody smell was mixed into the night, and the pool of blood on the ground did not even have time to seep down, and gathered more and more.

No matter how chaotic the Khitan was inside, their numbers were twice as large as the defenders of Yunfeng City, and this battle was extremely difficult.

No one knows how long the time has passed, and they don't know how many people they have killed, only by slashing and slashing again and again, can they ensure that they can stand up in the next moment.

I don't know who was sharp-eyed, I first saw the army rushing down in the distance, and shouted ecstatically: "Song Ziqi!" Song Jiajun rushed to help! It's the rush to help!! ”

This sound implicated the voice, and in the "Song Family Army" that kept shouting, the morale suddenly soared, and they rushed out again.

Ning Xun suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, and the blood that had just been sprayed on his face dripped from his jaw.

The sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, not far away the Song Ziqi hunting unfolded, the burning torches were full of eyes, and the people and horses galloped down, like a fire snake winding.

It's like a thousand lights.

Ning Xun laughed suddenly.

In the eyes of others, it is Song, and in his eyes it is also Song, but it is not the same Song.

It turned out that even though the night was ignorant for a long time, now there is a lamp, and Ken is willing to light it for him.

It's not the lamp, it's the liquor that ignites the fire and spills through the night, and the fire burns.

The pool was guarded directly behind, and it was not until the good news kept coming from the front that he was allowed to follow the men and horses.

——Like a divine soldier descending from the sky, the already chaotic Khitan army was caught off guard and scattered, and was besieged by their people in formation, the hour of fierce battle has passed, and now it is just the end.

Only the third prince didn't know where he fled while he was in chaos, but since he had already controlled the situation, he couldn't run far.

The moment she saw Ning Xun from a distance in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, the heart that had been uneasy seemed to settle suddenly, and she galloped towards him.

Nearer and the horse's hooves slowed down, she was about to turn over and dismount, but instinctively sensing something, she looked behind him—in the darkness of the night, she saw a little chill that was about to leave the string.

Since she died under arrows in her last life, she has been extremely sensitive to arrows, and she is also extremely afraid.

The agility that has been practiced in dance for many years, she is not slow to react, let alone this moment without thinking.

Without thinking, there is no time to be afraid.

Her legs were already stiff, but out of nowhere, she pounced straight down from her horse's back—and then dodged with her skill, completely blocking the direction of the arrow with her back.

The moment the arrow left the string, Ning Xun also felt something—the arrow was coming at him, but the arrow was already in front of him.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and it was too late to block her behind him, so he could only block it with his sword immediately.

But the man fired three arrows at once, and he only had time to block one.

He had heard the sound of sharp weapons piercing soft armor and re-entering the flesh countless times, and many of them were heard from himself.

But never before has it been so harsh.

The sharp pain in his heart was torn apart by the digging of an iron tool, and even made him mistakenly think that he was the one who was hit by the arrow.

In the flash of light, he protected the person behind him, but the hand holding her already felt the warm stickiness.

"Pool!!"

The author has something to say:

The front row distributes a reassuring pill, and if you need it, please take it yourself

The pond is only a little (crossed out, somewhat) injured, and it will get better soon (the old mother is distressed)
