Under the gate of Yanzhou City, Huan Xuan immediately looked at the thunderous Jingguo Army opposite.

The golden drum rang loudly, and countless Nanren soldiers shouted together: "Sandalwood is handsome!" Sandalwood is handsome! ”

At the far end of the procession, a four-wheeled car slowly drove up, with an umbrella cover on the roof and a green veil hanging down, and it was impossible to see what the people sitting in it looked like, but wherever the car went, the dense army automatically gave way to a line and let the car pass. Huan Xuan squinted slightly, Sandalwood was handsome. The mysterious strategist who hid behind and commanded the entire war, he came.

Today, we met on a narrow road, and he had been looking for him for many days. Huan Xuan clenched the knife in his hand, urging Wu Qi to rush towards the Jingguo army, the answer he had been looking for for a long time was in front of him, this time he wanted to uncover the fog with his own hands, and see clearly who was hiding behind.

The sound of the golden drum on the opposite side stopped abruptly at this time, and then there was a sharp sound of gold, Huan Xuan looked up, and vaguely saw the man in the four-wheeled vehicle stretching out a hand with slender fingerbones and waving it.

Sandalwood Shuai is going to collect troops. Huan Xuan didn't wait for the other party to change teams, and immediately yelled: "Pursuit!" ”

When withdrawing troops, it is most likely to mess up, and if you don't kill at this time, you will wait for when. The black cavalry has followed him for many years, and he understands the coach's intentions best, and he has changed the formation in a moment, two teams of men and horses are outflanked from the flanks, one team attacks from the front, Huan Xuan urges the horse to rush to the front, and a pair of eyes are firmly staring at the light moon white umbrella cover in the opposite team, Sandalwood Shuai did not go, and is still firmly in the army. And at this time, it is the opportunity for them to face each other.

Boom, the heavy city gate opened behind him, and the defenders of Daiguo in the city rushed out, wanting to attack the opponent with reinforcements, Huan Xuan looked back, and suddenly remembered the scene under the city of Yanzhou.

At that time, his soldiers were killed and wounded, and he was stabbed in the chest by Mu Wan, and escaped at the last moment, urging his horse to go down to the city gate. The city gate was closed, the flags fluttered on the city tower, and countless bows and crossbows were facing the city, which was to prevent the northerners from taking the opportunity to attack the city. In front of him is a moat several zhang wide, behind him are countless northerners waiting to take his life, he looked at the riverside, and saw familiar faces at the battlements, there were former comrades, there were subordinates of the state capital, and on the steps of the middle pavilion stood Xie Zhan's father Xie Rin, so many people, but Xie Zhan was not seen.

At that time, he thought that would be the last time he saw Yanzhou City.

Huan Xuan turned his head, the sound of Ming Jin shrill whistling in his ears, the formation of the Jing Guojun on the opposite side also changed, the front team changed into the rear team and retreated while fighting, the crossbowmen quickly assembled, scattered to all sides to suppress the formation, and then the bowstring was pulled, and a dense array of arrows like a torrential rain roared and shot towards the pursuing black cavalry.

While! Huan Xuan waved his knife away from an arrow, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was so familiar, he followed Xie Rin to learn the art of war, and the method of suppressing the formation and changing the team during the withdrawal was the first to learn, Xie Rin often said that it was difficult to attack, and it was even more difficult to retreat, and the slightest carelessness when withdrawing the army was the annihilation of the whole army.

At this time, Jing Guojun's retreat while calmly fighting back really coincided with Xie Rin's teaching.

The black cavalry was taught by him, and when he saw this battle, he immediately changed his team, and the shield bearer quickly filled the position around to block the rain of arrows for his comrades, but the defenders who chased out of Yanzhou City were defenseless, and many people were hit by arrows in the shouting, and they pounced! One by one, they kept falling headlong into the moat.

Huan Xuan glanced at it again, remembering that he was standing by the moat several zhang wide, and he was trying to fight

With his last breath, when he killed a few more northerners, there was a boom, the city gate opened, and the drawbridge over the river was lowered, and he turned back in shock and saw Xie Zhan taking the lead and leading dozens of people to rush out.

The horse jumped off the suspension bridge, and Xie Zhan looked at him with a pair of gentle eyes: "Abandon the slave, I'll pick you up." ”

He reached out and pulled him to jump on his horse.

Sou! Another arrow flew past him, Huan Xuan looked up, the light moon white umbrella cover was no longer visible in the team, and Sandalwood Shuai left. Jing Guojun was still releasing arrows, and the first group of people immediately replaced the second group after they were released, with tacit understanding, there was almost no interval, even his black horseman could not immediately break through this rain of arrows. Huan Xuan patted his horse to follow, Wu Qi deftly dodged the locust-like arrows, Huan Xuan looked at it with his eyes, and caught the last bit of shadow of the moon-white umbrella cover in the gap between countless people, and he had already gone very far, and the main force of Jingguo followed him and had retreated safely.

In the past, he had never fought against the Nanren army, and he had always had the impression that the Nanren were weak and vulnerable, but today's battle broke these perceptions, and the other side was a well-trained and high-morale formidable enemy.

Behind him, the defenders of Yanzhou were still chasing out of the city, Huan Xuan looked up at the darkening sky, and raised his hand: "Collect the troops." ”

The sharp sound of gold resounded through the sky and earth in an instant, and even in the garrison a few miles away, Fu Yunwan could hear it clearly. Ming Jin withdraws his troops, so is this battle won or? How is he?

Looking out the window closely, a man and a horse in the distance came to the front quickly, and Wang Shu brought the latest battle report: "Jingguo has withdrawn its troops, and the Duke of Ming has also ordered the troops to be collected." ”

Fu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, he was fine, God forbid.

The sound of Mingjin is getting longer and longer, the guards at the station of the front Yuan Rim suddenly moved, the queue opened the road in front, and the Zhongming Yunlu car followed by the Yuan Rim also moved, Fu Yunwan hurriedly hid back in the car, and saw the Zhongming Yunlu car walking all the way towards Yanzhou City from the gap in the window, the other soldiers stayed in place and did not pull out, the northerners were rude and unruly, and they could not be quiet when waiting, and they were talking about the battle situation in twos and threes, so Fu Yunwan heard that the three words Sandalwood Shuai appeared in their mouths again and again.

Sandalwood is handsome, the young and handsome, mysterious strategist with the scent of sandalwood. Fu Yunwan couldn't help it anymore, and asked Wang Shu hesitantly: "Wang joins the army, is Sandalwood handsome here?" ”

"Sandalwood Shuai appeared in front of the battle and ordered the withdrawal of troops."

Fu Yunwan's heart jumped: "Sandalwood is handsome, what kind of person is he?" ”

Wang Shu glanced at her: "I don't know." He sat in the car, covered by a light veil, and never showed his true face from beginning to end. ”

Fu Yunwan listened in a daze, his heart turned a thousand times, and he always felt as if something was secretly involved, and there was a heavy premonition, as if something was about to happen.

There was a sudden commotion in the team, and one person and one horse rushed to Wang Shu quickly: "Wang joined the army, the Eastern Army did not obey the general's orders, pursued without authorization, and was dealt with by the general with military law!" ”

Wang Shu's face tightened, and hurriedly patted the horse away, Fu Yunwan's heart was up and down, and he saw that the northerners around him were in a commotion getting worse and worse, and the sound of cursing Huan Xuan sounded one after another, and many people shouted and scolded to come to the car, Huan Xuan left hundreds of black cavalry soldiers to guard her car, and at this moment they all showed their blades and moved closer to the car, Fu Yunwan closed the doors and windows and hid in the car, and heard another sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but it was Yuan Rong who rushed out with people.

Outside the city of Yanzhou.

A shrill sound of gold

In continuing, the black cavalry that was originally chasing Jingguo's army had quickly returned from everywhere and gathered around Huan Xuan, but the Yanzhou defenders, as well as the 20,000 Eastern Army taken from Yuan Rong's hands, turned a deaf ear, whistling and shouting, chasing Jing Guo's team farther and farther, Huan Xuan reined in his horse violently, Wu Hu hissed, his front hooves were raised high, Huan Xuan straightened his horse, and the sound was like thunder: "Collect the troops!" Those who do not obey the order will be killed! ”

Not far away, there were a few laughs, Wei Chong and his subordinates chased out again, and when he passed by, he glanced at Huan Xuan, the provocation was overflowing, Huan Xuan looked over and drew his knife.

Wu Qi exerted his strength, and chased Wei Chong in an instant, Wei Chong's face changed, and he saw that the big knife in his hand was close at hand, and he was shocked and angry: "You dare to kill me?" ”

Huan Xuan didn't say a word, the knife in his hand fell, Wei Chong hurriedly pulled out the mace to attack the enemy, and both sides exerted force at the same time, Wei Xuan felt that Huan Xuan's knife was not as heavy as expected, and then looked at the clothes on his chest bulging a large piece, it was clearly the place where he was injured and bandaged yesterday, this bastard must have been injured and weak, who else do you want to kill?

At that moment, Wei Chong's heart was wide, and he used all his strength to smash the mace to death, when, the swords collided, seeing Huan Xuan's face sank, Wei Chong was proud in his heart, and roared again, his subordinates suddenly lightened, and Huan Xuan suddenly withdrew his knife and flashed to the side.

Wei Chong was caught off guard, he didn't expect that he would be able to retract it freely at this critical juncture, and when he hurriedly changed his moves, there was a loud roar in his ears, and Huan Xuan's knife cut down.

There was a sudden pain in his neck, Wei Chong let out a long scream, saw the shadow of Zhongming Yunlu stopping not far away, and saw Yuan Rong urging the horse, rushing forward with billowing smoke and dust, Wei Chong struggled and shouted: "Da Sima save me!" ”

"Stop!" Yuan Rong shouted, not waiting for the spear in front of him to be stabbed out, and grabbed Huan Xuan's big knife, "Are you crazy? ”

Huan Xuan opened with one sword, and the second knife slashed at Wei Chong's neck, Yuan Rong urged the horse to approach, and roared angrily: "He is my person, you dare to kill my person?!" ”

"He is now under my command, and if he does not obey orders, he will be killed." Huan Xuan said lightly.

While! The spear in Yuan Rong's hand came to block again: "If the Nanban dog escapes, you won't chase it, and Wei Chong will kill you after chasing you, what do you mean?" Is it collusion with the Nanban and selling thieves? ”

The sound of gold became more and more urgent, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting in the distance.

After a while, several defeated troops stumbled and ran back, but it was the Yanzhou defenders who had rushed over to pursue the Jingguo army who had not obeyed the order before, shouting as they ran: "There is an ambush, there is an ambush for the southern barbarians!" ”

Yuan Rong's face changed, and only then did he realize that Huan Xuan had already seen through the Jingguo army and set up an ambush on the road, so he stopped the pursuit, and he was a little weak-hearted, but he still said: "Wei Chong broke through the enemy's heart, some sins but not to be cut, for my sake, let him go." ”

"Once the military order has been issued, there will be no broken promise." Huan Xuan's hand raised and fell, Wei Chong's howl stopped abruptly, and with a plop, the corpse fell from the horse's back.

The blood was splashed high, and a large patch of red quickly came out under the horse, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army who came to check around were all gasping, everyone knew that Wei Chong was a fierce general, and Yuan Rong's favorite general, he didn't give Yuan Rong face at all, he said kill and kill, and he was seriously injured, killing Wei Chong was still as effortless as chopping melons and vegetables, you can imagine how brave he was when he was not injured.

For a while, he hated, feared and didn't dare to move, seeing that Huan Xuan's horizontal knife was immediately, blood dripping from the blade, and he said coldly: "After Mingjin, the pursuers who violated the order are all tied up." ”

"Huan Xuan!" Yuan

Rong roared and stabbed with a spear, "Ye Ye cut you first!" ”

Huan Xuan let go to the side, the knife in his hand slashed out, swinging away Yuan Rong, Yuan Rong killed the red eyes and stabbed again, there was a sound of knives behind him, but it was a group of two or three people from the black cavalry, with tacit understanding, the generals of the Eastern Army who had previously violated the order to pursue were taken down one by one, and in an instant they were tied in a row, kicked over, and made them all kneel on the ground.

In the distance, the screams were screaming, and the Yanzhou defenders who were pursuing in violation of the order were quickly eliminated by the Jingguo ambush soldiers, and the twilight shrouded quickly, and the blood-red sunset on the horizon was like blood all over the battlefield, revealing an ominous brilliance.

"Phew!" Yuan Rong never took advantage of several rushes, gasping and spitting a mouthful of bloody saliva, "Huan Xuan, you wait!" ”

Huan Xuan's expression was faint and he didn't speak, and in the chaos, Zhongming Yunlu car was always parked in the distance not far away, and Yuan Xuan leaned against the wall of the car and watched, without saying a word.

The sky was completely dark, the front army lit torches, illuminated the city as bright as day, the battle in the distance had ended, the Yanzhou defenders who went to pursue only escaped back twenty or thirty, the others were all in the wilderness, the torches in the extreme distance were dotted like the Milky Way, and the Jingguo army was stationed more than ten miles away, facing Yanzhou City in the distance.

Huan Xuan urged the horse to walk slowly and looked at the Yanzhou defenders who were kneeling on the ground in frustration: "You are not my subordinates, go back to your chief officer to confess." Get lost. ”

The Yanzhou army shouted to General Xie to spare his life, and got up with a rolling belt and went to the city in a chaotic manner.

The generals of the Eastern Army kneeling on the ground were in a commotion, and those who knew the opportunity hurriedly softened: "The general spares his life!" The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates don't dare anymore! ”

"Phew!" Yuan Rong's eyes were red with hatred, and he spat at the man viciously, "You dare!" ”

There were a few people who were waiting and watching by him, and the words begging for mercy were swallowed back, and when he was hesitating, Huan Xuan urged the horse to approach, and the knife fell, and the person kneeling in front fell headlong and was silent.

There was silence for a while, the knife light flashed again, and slashed towards the second, the word "spare life" had not yet been spoken, and he had already fallen headlong, and the third could not hold on, even if Yuan Rong was staring at it nearby, he still shouted: "The general spares his life, his subordinates are guilty, and his subordinates don't dare anymore!" ”

Followed by the fourth and fifth, those who knelt for a short time all wailed and begged for mercy, Huan Xuan held the knife, his eyes were calm, and he looked at them one by one: "How do you want me to spare you?" ”

"Just like the general, his subordinates will never dare to say half a word!"

"Spare my life, I won't dare again!"

Everyone pleaded, and there was a soft laugh in the distance, it was Yuan Rong, looking at this side with interest, Yuan Rongzi swelled his face, kicked the horse's stomach viciously, turned around and ran away.

Huan Xuan said lightly: "Nian is that you are a first-time offender, and repent, this life will be left first." Downgrade three levels. Back! ”

The two words of returning to the team raised their voices slightly, and with unquestionable majesty, everyone didn't dare to say a word again, and got up in a gray manner, so they tied up and returned to the team, standing upright.

Huan Xuan controlled the horse and walked slowly, looking at the black team lined up under Yanzhou City: "The military order is like a mountain, and if there are those who disobey my orders, Wei Chong will be the end, have you heard it?" ”

"I heard you!" As soon as everyone spoke, both the black cavalry and the Eastern Army shouted in unison, "Obey the general's orders!" ”

The shouts were as loud as a landslide, even Fu Yunwan in the distance

They all vaguely heard some movements, and were worried, in the dark night, Yuan Rong urged the horse to run back, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army immediately swarmed up to inquire about the situation, Yuan Rong scolded with red eyes: "Useless things, get out, get out of me!" ”

Fu Yunwan hid in the car, and heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, Wang Shu came back: "Fu Niangzi rest assured, Ming An is safe." ”

Fu Yun let out a long breath in the evening, and the weight of his heart that had been hanging for a long time was relieved in an instant, and the torch light in the distance was shaking, and the front of the team was crowded, but it was Yuan Lu who passed down the edict and ordered the main force of the army to enter the city.

"Let's keep up, the city is more heavily defended." Wang Shu said.

Fu Yunwan nodded, looking at the blurred black shadow of the city in the distance, Huan Xuan should be waiting for her there at this time, right?

Under the city of Yanzhou.

The city gate was wide open, the drawbridge was all put down, Huan Xuan led the black cavalry to protect at the outermost periphery, so as not to surprise the Jingguo army.

The situation of the past is back in front of us. Xie Zhan pulled him to jump onto the suspension bridge, the city gate opened a small half-door, like a giant beast's half-open mouth, behind him was the sound of horses' hooves like wind and thunder, the northerners swarmed up, wanting to take the opportunity to rush into the city, on the city gate Xie Rin held the bow and arrow at Xie Zhan, the guards under the city gate pushed the door, if the momentum was not right, it would be closed immediately, he turned back in a hurry, and saw the gun that suddenly stabbed Xie Zhan's heart, too late to stop it, he had already heard Xie Zhan snort, blood splattered out, staining half of the horse's body red.

The drawbridge was finally retracted at the last moment, and a few northerners who were chasing after him howled and fell into the moat.

The figure in the distance flickered, it was Wang Shu waving to him, Huan Xuan looked over, Wang Shu followed the car, and she was inside.

The heavy mood suddenly seeped into a hint of sweetness, and Huan Xuan urged the horse to take a few steps closer and watched from afar.

Fu Yunwan also saw him, and didn't dare to say hello, so he pushed the window open a very small gap, and rested his hand there, revealing a little plain sleeve.

It's so inconspicuous, it's so far away, and it's so dark, he probably can't see it, but doing so can make her feel more comforted.

Huan Xuan had already seen it, and for a moment he wanted to run over and hug her and kiss her, but finally held back, and watched the car cross the moat and drive steadily into the city gate under the front and rear escort of the black horseman.

When you look up, the city gate is empty, and everyone has gone down to greet Yuan. I don't see Xie Rin who was holding a strong bow and aiming at Xie Zhan back then.

It wasn't until later that he understood the meaning of that move. Xie Rin was worried that Xie Zhan would be captured and that the northerners would use Xie Zhan to blackmail him, so if Xie Zhan failed to escape, he would shoot him with an arrow.

Xie Zhan risked his life to save him that time. He couldn't come back in time to save Xie Zhan's life.

The night wind was blowing like a blade, and when he turned around, the lights were turned off in the distance, and Jing Guojun hid in the dark night, like a dormant beast. When retreating, using an arrow array to suppress the formation, setting up an ambush in the middle of the road, and annihilating the pursuers, all of which were the key to the art of war that Xie Rin taught him and Xie Zhan back then. Sandalwood is handsome, who is it, why do you learn Xie Zhan everywhere, even the art of war that the Xie family keeps secret?

Fu Yunwan settled in a small courtyard in the city, and it was already three watches after the rough cleaning, and the soldiers outside were walking and patrolling, Wang Shu came not long ago, and Huan Xuan was stationed outside the city to defend, and he would not come back tonight.

The house was quiet, Ah Sui died in the chaos that day, Ah Jin was still recuperating, and he didn't have time to find the female envoy in a hurry on the road, Fu Yunwan packed up the soft clothes in the room alone, picked up the baggage, and suddenly touched a heavy piece inside.

Xie Zhan's spiritual position.

The burden was not opened, and he hesitated in his arms, and his bowels were full of knots for a while. She used to be in the bedroom, but now, it seems that it is no longer suitable.

So, where do you put it?

Raising the eye, there are three rooms, one bright and two dark, the inner room is a bedroom, and the other side of the hall seems to be a study, which may be temporarily changed to a fragrant hall. Fu Yunwan took out the spiritual position and held it in his hand, wiped it again and again with his sleeve, and stroked the familiar name over and over again with his fingertips.

Just put it over there, her current situation is no longer good to put in the bedroom.

My heart suddenly jumped, and I looked up, Huan Xuan didn't know when she came, her eyes were heavy, looking at the spiritual position in her arms.!
