Pei Yuxue said: "You don't seem to be overjoyed. ”

This matter is of course full of twists and turns, and there are signs of bright flowers. However, Wang Heng is not a person who thinks too highly of himself, and he can feel Xue Yuxiao's sympathy and care for him...... And pity. Her pity for weakness doesn't stop there.

Wang Heng said: "You don't seem to be so troubled. ”

"Because I don't think she'll agree." Pei Yuxue looked at him and said, "Actually, you think so in your heart, you and I both know that now is a critical moment, if the army triumphs, with great military merits and civil prestige, and then immediately handle the marriage with the Wang family......"

Wang Heng asked: "I understand that once this matter can be completed, the two families will be completely regarded as a great threat by His Majesty, and they will be suspected of rebellion, and the situation will become very terrifying." ”

Pei Yuxue nodded and said, "I heard that Gongzi Heng has been accompanying the prime minister recently, and his actions, sitting and lying are no different from the main book, you understand this truth, and I understand it." So although my mother ordered me to inquire, I probably guessed that my wife would not agree, and the prime minister took this risk to fight for you a chance to come back, and the heart of my son is emotional. ”

He raised his hand and pulled a piece of paper from his sleeve, half written on it.

"I've written about it three or four times, and I don't think it's good." Pei Yuxue said, "You can write one for me." ”

Wang Heng looked at him in a daze, as if he had only known this person since today. He breathed lightly and said softly, "I use your identity to ...... her Writing a letter home? ”

Pei Yuxue turned her head and looked at the wind chimes fluttering under the eaves. In winter, everything withers, even on a sunny day, there is a silent and constant scene, and the faint daylight fills the eaves and falls on the chess game that has recorded hundreds of games by hand.

"Wang Gongzi, this is the best way I can think of." Pei Yingxue rubbed the edge of her sleeves, her eyes seemed to look far away, "Although I don't like you, but people's affection is not divided into high and low, although she and I didn't say it explicitly, but we know each other, and only the other party can be tolerated in our eyes, if their hearts change, I won't tolerate them like the world...... If one day she faces the feelings of others and gives up her feelings for me, it will not be the Xue Yuxiao I know. ”

"The Wang family is dedicated to love, even if they can't obey each other, they won't remarry her." Wang Heng lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers, which was equivalent to a physical signal to restrain his emotions, Pei Yuxue tried his best to calm down, he knew that the other party was not as confident as he appeared, "She is a person who loves the common people and loves the world, am I not one of the people, I am not among the world?" As long as her love and compassion for me is equal to that of the world, and no different from the common people, I am satisfied. The so-called name, righteousness, marriage...... I did think about it before. Now, my mother's long-term illness has not healed, and the family's reputation is in jeopardy, and I can't put my mother's half-life reputation in a position of ruin and capriciousness for my own selfishness. You are willing to let me write this letter, and I am grateful to you. ”

Wang Heng rarely said so much.

Pei Yuxue didn't move, but said: "Return the sword and study ink for Wang Gongzi." ”

Returning the sword kneeling and sitting on the side, he incorporated a heavy treasure ink into the inkstone, grinding out a trickle of black color.

Wang Heng did not refuse. His handwriting is as smooth as water, he does not think too much when he holds the pen, he never re-transcribes the mistakes, his eyes are focused, and he does it in one go. He stopped his pen to dry the ink, raised his hands, and handed them back to Pei Yuxue, there was no friction between the two of them, as if ice and water met, only slow silence and silence remained.

Pei Yuxue put away the letter.

……

Xue Yuxiao, who was far away in Xuzhou, was discussing the strategy when he suddenly sneezed twice and felt goosebumps. She pinched her arm and said to herself, "Who cares about me?" Did Pei Lang speak ill of me behind his back? ”

Li Qingchou on the side quipped: "What's the matter, it's freezing you?" Behold your weak, come and come, and come and put my cloak on thee—"

As she spoke, she pretended to take it off and drape it on her, Xue Yuxiao waved her hand away and said, "Don't bother me, go and add clothes to your family Yuan Xiaolangjun." In the event of an engagement, you must lead the light cavalry to harass the flanks, and you must be extremely careful not to be swept off your horse by the spears of the Iron Float, and if you fall and trample on your horse, you will surely die. ”

Li Qingchou said: "I understand, you have said it three times. I must be careful, the time seems to be coming, the soldiers are ready, is it about to begin? ”

Xue Yuxiao sent someone to ask Huan Chengfeng, and about a moment later, the Chinese army beat the drum.

The soldiers gathered under the city of Xuzhou, this is the fourth drum beating in the recent past, the first few Tuoba babies have sent heavy cavalry to meet the battle, the Qi army saw the Tiefutu, afraid of prestige, did not dare to formally hand over, only let the other party send the general out of the duel.

The more he shouted like this, Tuoba Ying made up his mind not to come out again. She had already lost face once, and it was impossible for her to send a general to fight it alone, so she relied on the prestige of the heavy cavalry and delayed her time in the city, hoping to go out of the city again to attack when the Qi Dynasty's grain and grass were exhausted.

Both sides had their own plans, and the first three times were unharmed, and although there was a small friction, they did not cause much damage. And this time, the commander of the heavy cavalry who was ordered to defend the city couldn't hold back the scolding of the Qi army, and muttered fiercely in Xianbei for a long time, to the effect that he looked down on these cowardly soldiers who relied on the martial arts of their own generals, and did not dare to engage in battle, but showed off their might and fought here.

She scolded like this, no one could understand it, but they all knew that it was not a good word. Just when all the sergeants suppressed their anger, but none of them stepped forward without permission, Li Furong suddenly rode out of the queue and swept forward with his own troops, still with a cold face, without saying a word, took the bow and arrow from the guard, and opened the bow to shoot head-on.

Feathered arrows are like meteors, breaking through the wind. The arrow went straight to the front door of the cavalry commander, slamming through the visor and narrowly stabbing in front of the tip of the nose. The leader of the cavalry was furious, raised his arm and drew his arrow, and with a shout, the galloping horse pressed forward, almost shaking the mountain.

On the city wall, Tuoba Ying saw this opportunity and asked urgently: "This person is the lady who fought first a few days ago?" ”

The guard replied: "Exactly! Your Highness, this man has a fierce and ferocious fighting style, is good at changing injuries, and often strikes suddenly, and should be angered by the situation of beating the drum several times without fighting. ”

"Okay." Tuoba Ying said, "Just beating the drum doesn't fight, being pressed here and not daring to move, what does it mean to pass it out?" Reckless and provocative, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, I want to see how these Qi people's formations can grow. ”

Tuoba Ying did not stop it, but walked down the tower, put on his armor and mounted his horse, and stood tall in the rear. The Tiefutu beside her acquiesced, and immediately chased after the small group of pro-troops who rushed out.

Li Furong rode lightly on a fast horse, outpacing them, and immediately turned backwards, but kept looking back and drawing the bow, although the arrow was unsteady in motion, it clanged into the heavy armor like a provocation.

The leader of the cavalry cursed a swear word, and was furious, and the whole line of battle formations hugged each other tightly, and ran wildly, like an earthquake, and the dust was flying. Li Furong slowed down in front of her, and was caught up by her, and immediately turned around to block the tip of the spear with her sword, and dodged again and again because of the limited length.

Her face was cold and cold, and she was chased by the silver spear and stabbed too much to dodge, and a heavy depression was poked in her arm armor. Li Furong's face changed slightly, and she suddenly twisted the reins and withdrew three or five steps, and walked away.

The cavalry commander knew that she could defeat Yulan Yanluo, and he had fought 120,000 points, but now that he saw that such a brave vanguard officer was actually invincible, he turned his head and fled and was defeated, and he was immediately extremely excited, shouted something in his voice, and chased away violently.

The heavy cavalry was like a chariot, dragging out the sound of drums. Li Furong's pro-army instantly penetrated into the Chinese army and joined everyone, while the cavalry commander behind her held his head high, without fear, raised his hand and raised his spear, and the whole team let out a shouting battle sound, tearing the Chinese army through a hole and driving straight in.

It's still the same as always! The Commander breathed a sigh of relief and became more and more proud.

Even if a famous general comes, these cowardly soldiers will only beg for mercy and flee, retreat backwards, and soon collapse into an army.

The heavy cavalry entered the formation like a fish in water, and there was not a trace of resistance at all. Tuoba Ying, who was watching the overall situation, also smiled, this was the combat power of the Qi army that she was familiar with.

However, although the formation was scattered, there were not many casualties. The Chinese army was ready when Li Furong led the troops to run wildly, and immediately retreated to both sides, like a tide separating to both sides, and the infantry in the middle were all erected with shields, and the two thousand iron cavalry were encircled in the center, mainly for protection.

In the past, wielding a spear on a horse would often harvest a large number of heads, but a single swing of the spear only made a sound on the shield one after another.

Of course, it's not that there are people who immediately want to relapse and run away. But as soon as the soldier turned his head and saw the Xue flag planted in front of him, General Xue Xiao took out his long sword from the sheath and sat on the black horse, his face expressionless, standing silently, and suddenly remembered her ethereal secret weapon. Even if she didn't look at it, she didn't dare to run away blatantly.

The cavalry commander was in a no-man's land, wanting to scatter the crowd directly as before. Some of her subordinates had already sensed that something was wrong and said, "Commander! They all came prepared, with shields. ”

The commander said: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the use of holding a shield, I will trample them into pulp!" ”

The shield could not withstand the charge of the heavy cavalry.

Just as the iron cavalry was about to continue to charge forward, from the shield-holding formation, a light cavalry interspersed and approached from the flank, led by Li Qingchou. She led this thousand pro-army, her movements were agile and nimble, she tossed and turned in the formation, and she changed a long knife in her hand, and her movements were extremely tricky, cutting off the legs of the horses ridden by several heavy cavalrymen.

The Iron Float Slaughter men and horses are all wearing armor, only the legs of the horses are not covered, these thousand light horses are all long knives, long axes as weapons, do not fight with them, cut the legs of the horses, as long as the legs of the horses are broken, the entire heavy horse will roll down and fall to the ground, it is impossible to get up.

As soon as she harassed like this, the iron cavalry formation was chaotic, the two wings were blocked, and the overall charging momentum was blocked, and there was still a distance to break through to Xue Yuxiao. The infantry retreated to the sides, as if to give way to the way, while on the flanks and behind them, there were elusive swords and axes everywhere.

The commander realized that something was wrong and turned back to retreat, but the rear was surrounded by light horses, screaming everywhere. She was about to order everyone to retreat, when suddenly her side was cold, and the subordinate officer next to her left shoulder was hit in the chest by a long knife, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse with her head up.

The commander turned his head and saw Li Qingchou holding a blood-stained long knife in his hand, his eyebrows were cold, and he shook off the blood on the blade.

The two immediately fought and became entangled. Li Qingchou did not use all his strength, deliberately pretended to be evenly matched with her, and after a few blows, he immediately ran away and stepped forward again, so repeatedly, the cavalry commander was beaten to the chest depressed, unable to enjoy himself, she almost heard the voice of the outside world, chased Li Qingchou away, and wanted to cut this vanguard officer off the horse.

Continuously harassed by light cavalry, Tiefutu, who was trying to maintain his formation, could only step forward. The resistance on both sides and in the rear was so great that even the infantry turned to surround themselves behind them, erecting heavy shields on both sides, blocking the rest of the Xianbei troops and cutting off their aid.

The archers fired several volleys, and even the infantry shields could not be broken. Tuoba Ying's face changed more and more, and she realized that the other party must have some plan waiting for her, and immediately said to the herald, "Order them to come back!" Let Da Xi Mengcheng withdraw immediately! ”

The commander of the heavy cavalry is named Da Xi Mengcheng.

The herald went immediately. But at this time, the iron cavalry led by Daxi Mengcheng was already trapped in the enemy formation, and there was no way back, so there was only one way to charge, charge, and charge again. Only by completely separating the formation of the Qi army can we get out - otherwise, if we turn back at this moment, we will inevitably suffer a lot of losses.

Everyone understands this.

As a result, the deeper they fell into the enemy's ranks, the stronger the momentum of the Iron Cavalry. Da Xi Mengcheng became more and more courageous the more he fought, and he almost injured Li Qingchou several times, and the two fought and left, almost immediately in front of the supervising team.

After seeing the Xue Clan's flag, Da Xi Mengcheng's chaotic fanatical brain suddenly certain, remembering the various benefits of the three princesses saying that he captured this person alive, he immediately abandoned Li Qingchou and rushed towards Xue Yuxiao with the remnants.

In front of the warlord, it means that the entire formation of the Qi army has been completely separated to both sides, and she goes deep into the enemy's abdomen, as long as she rushes out of a gap from here, the situation will immediately reverse, get rid of the obstacles, and become the side of the big victory!

Xue Yuxiao is still in a white robe and silver armor, and his posture is like a green pine. She was not clean, so she waited here on horseback, and watched the hideous-looking Hu Ren Iron Horse rush forward fiercely—

Da Xi Mengcheng raised his spear, the tip of which was stained with blood, and it flashed scarlet in the sunlight.

Subsequently.

Her horse fell to her crotch and lunged forward—not only her, but also the iron horsemen around her who were holding the formation. As she flipped her gaze, she saw the horse's legs intact, and the thick rope that had tripped them up, and the rope was hanging in front of the Warlords. Anyone who crosses this line on horseback is immediately stumbled.

Her spear took off her hand and landed in front of Xue Yuxiao with a clang. Xue Yuxiao lowered his eyes and glanced at it, and as soon as he raised his hand, the Xue clan soldiers of the war team drew out their spears one after another, and the tip of the spear was loaded with a kind of metal like a barb, and the hook and sickle hooked the helmet and iron mask of the Xianbei people in one fell swoop, and the edge flashed, and the blood stains soared wildly.

From men to horses, from body armor to heads, the heavy cavalry with an impregnable wall of bronze fell to the ground and was slaughtered.

Xue Yuxiao turned her wrist and raised her eyes, the smooth road that the iron horse rushed over was not hindered, her gaze passed over the infantry, and she looked at Tuoba Ying on a horse.

Even though they were far away, she could still feel Tuoba's gaze fall on her. Xue Yuxiao glanced at the iron horsemen who had all fallen in the entire formation, bypassed the rope, and walked along the empty road that had collided with the snow, and the horses' hooves clattered and sounded evenly.

The Xianbei soldiers saw Tiefutu fall in front of her, and although they knew that they had fallen into the trap, they didn't know what had happened. Seeing that the invincible heavy cavalry had been defeated, and then seeing Xue Yuxiao stepping forward indifferently without hurry, they all retreated in horror and fear.

She walked to the front of the formation, and under the order of Tuoba Ying, the Xianbei soldiers retreated backwards and retreated for dozens of zhang.

Thousands of troops avoid white robes (2)

Chapter 75

The cold wind hunts, and the dust and sand are like mist.

Behind her, there was a thick and spreading blood. Tuoba Ying stared at her motionless in the distance, her slightly raised, python-like eyes nailed to her, the whites of her eyes showing a little red bloodshot, she clenched the reins, and her muscles and bones creaked.

The snow-white robe under the armor stirred in the wind, setting off a calm face. Xue Yuxiao's expression was calm, and he said: "The Tiefutu cavalry has been destroyed, and now the attack and defense are changing, changing formations, and killing the enemy." ”

This sentence does not have so much madness and blood, and does not have such a strong sense of bravery, but it is just this light sentence, but it makes the sergeant's blood boil, and the cowardice and cowardice that want to retreat are all trampled under his feet, no matter what kind of fierce general is in front of him, it seems that there is an invisible hand against his back, ordering everyone to move forward.

After this sound fell, there was a hearty laughter from the hussar ranks on one side. Li Qingchou swept the blade in her hand, her body was like a gust of wind, and she said loudly: "Change the formation!" Fight the enemy! ”

Her pro-army is all elite, and she has just experienced a bloody battle with the iron cavalry, and the fighting spirit is not gone, and it is becoming more and more boiling, the whole team is charging forward, and on the other side is Li Furong's vanguard team that has turned around a whole circle.

These two Li women are indeed vanguard generals, and with the boost of morale, they led the pro-army under their command like two sharp blades, violently stirring into the enemy formation and penetrating the opponent's formation. The Xianbei soldiers received the order of the Third Highness and stood in front to resist to the death, and these thousands of people were quickly shattered and collapsed in front of the Qi army, which was several times the number of men.

When the soldiers resisted, the military division and other generals felt that they could not fight, and persuaded Tuoba Ying to withdraw from Xuzhou, not to go against the current, for fear of too much damage.

According to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the Qi army captures Xuzhou.

Tuoba Infant knew that he couldn't be an enemy, but he couldn't swallow this breath. Although she was still young and was fighting for the first time with an army of the size of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, she had fought many times with the Xiongnu and the northern tribes before, and she had never encountered this kind of situation where the generals could not be defeated alone, and the iron cavalry charge could not be defeated - she licked her back molars, felt the blood rushing up from her throat, and said in a cold tone and with half patience: "Withdraw the army." ”

The surrounding staff and military divisions all breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly conveyed the order. Tuoba Infant immediately made a defensive formation to maintain the vital force and move to Gaoping County.

Adjacent to Gaoping County is Zhao County, which is the homeland of the Li family, which has fallen to half.

When she retreated to the high place on the hill behind Xuzhou City, she looked back and saw thousands of infantry left behind lying on the ground, soaked in blood, and although the Qi army also had casualties, they did not turn around and flee as usual because of their high morale.

The white-clothed general still didn't step forward, even if he rushed forward, it was countless military exploits. She still stood behind her like an unchanging boulder. At this moment, the pro-army beside her followed the army forward with the banner and moved the entire battle line forward, and there were not many people left around the general.

Tuoba swallowed a mouthful of fishy breath in his throat, and suddenly looked back and asked, "Where is the bow horse camp?" ”

The Bow Horse Battalion was a unit of archers defending the city, and because they had been helping to shoot arrows on the walls, they were not too damaged. The commander of the bow horse battalion is named Dugu Wuwei, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and asked on the horse: "The bow horse camp has just withdrawn from the city, Your Highness ......"

Before she could finish her words, Tuoba Ying raised her hand and pointed at Xue Yuxiao's back, and said coldly: "Kill her for me!" ”

Dugu Wuwei was stunned: "Isn't this person going to be captured alive as the best policy?" ”

Tuoba Ying repeated, staring at Dugu Wuwei with bloodshot eyes: "Kill her for me!" ”

Dugu Wuwei is the premier marksman in the Xia Kingdom, and he is also the archery horse teacher of Tuoba Baby. She was not tall, with an even dark complexion, and a pair of extremely bright and sharp eyes like those of a falcon. Dugu Wuwei knew that His Royal Highness couldn't listen to the advice at the moment, so he immediately turned his head and glanced at Xue Yuxiao's position, and said, "Bypass from one side, and attack from the rear, maybe you can kill with one arrow!" ”

"Good!"

With that, Tuoba Ying and the others retreated again and arrived at another high slope. Dugu Wuwei led a team of horse archers to outflank him from the flank and turned to the rear of the Qi army. As soon as they entered the range, they themselves would inevitably be exposed and detected by the Qi army.

Dugu Wuwei took the heavy bow, and a pair of calloused arrows pulled the bowstring.

Wei Qingyan didn't rush up with the others, and kept guarding the young master's side, observing the movements in all directions. She was the first to notice something strange when the archers who circled behind her appeared, but the first feathered arrow was swift as the wind, breaking through the air before she could open her mouth to report.

"Young master!" She screamed, her pupils constricted, and without thinking she led her horse forward, the hook and sickle in her hand stepped forward to resist, but the metal head did not block the arrow, but cut off half of the feathers on the arrow.
