MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 23 Killing
In the early morning, when the wind rose suddenly, the thunderbolt tore the sky and dark clouds.
The rain was heavy and the thunder was rolling.
A sudden rainstorm poured down, enveloping the entire Huizhou city in the dimness of day and night.
No one cares how the wind roars, and no one cares about the thunder and thunder.
The wind and rain thundered, and they were drowned by the fierce killing of the city.
Suining Wang's 30,000 strikers grabbed before Tianming, crossed the long river, and killed the shore in the night to storm Luling Pass.
Dozens of building ships with a height of several feet, each carrying a number of ships, are crossed by iron cables, and they are connected to form copper walls and iron walls.
The five-colored flags were displayed, the drums were beeping, the wind was blowing, the waves were breaking, and the mighty were killed from the river.
The horn of war drums tightened once, and again and again, and the shouting and killing sound of Jintian and the impact of gold and iron were indistinguishable. The ladders cascade outside the Luling Pass, flying stones like locusts, and siege soldiers pouring in like a tide.
The torrential rain rushed down, and the rain became more and more rapid. In the wind and rain, it seemed to be wrapped in a light **** gas, which severely washed the Huizhou city walls.
I boarded the highest tower with Xiao Kun, and I got a glimpse of the tragic battles between the river bank and Luling Pass.
A military officer in the uniform was bathing in blood and flying in the rain to report, "Master Ye, the enemy is coming fiercely, and our army has retreated to Luling Pass!"
Xiao Yan turned and sat on the unicorn chair, and asked coldly, "How is the situation on the river?"
"The striker has landed as many as possible, and the main force has begun to cross the river."
"Wait." Xiao Yan's face sank like water, and the waves were not shocked.
After a while, Pegasus came again.
"Master Ye, the enemy has crossed the river."
"Wait a second." Xiao Yan's face remained unchanged, a smile flickered in his eyes, and a strong murderous faint came from him.
I sat beside him, clearly in the early summer season, but as if I was in the middle of the winter, the sky and the earth were filled with the spirit of killing, making everyone feel cold. I took the case and put it on the jug. I poured spirits into a bottle of tiger-sapphire sapphire in front of me.
"Master Ye, the enemy's offensive is fast, the army has landed, and the conscript general has led the people back into Luling Pass!"
Xiao Zheng raised his eyes slightly, and at that moment he was struck by a shock of electricity, splitting the sky, and Ying Liang's cold wins over his eyes.
The comer obeyed the order and rushed away.
Xiao Xing stood up according to his sword. "Substitute orders to support the army, recapture Luling Pass, and kill the soldiers who entered the city!"
"Final command!" A general followed the order
The left and right generals stand by their swords, and the armored swords are cold and snowy.
Xiao Zheng raised his glass and drank it, tossing it to the ground, "Prepare the horse and fight!"
I stood silently in front of the city, and watched Xiao Xiao Feng Feng's figure flew away.
This fierce battle, until the rain stopped and the wind broke, the clouds opened up and the fog dispersed, and the red sun gradually came out ... Until dusk, the sun was like blood.
The left and right wing soldiers and horses ran into a thunderous potential, dived from the hillsides on both sides of the city, and stormed into the army of Suining King who had just landed. Heaven; another 3,000 crossbowmen ambushed on the side, killing the soldiers who steered the oars on the ship, causing the ship to lose control and could n’t turn around. The army crossing the river was in chaos at the beach, and it was impossible to advance and retreat. The large and small warships were connected by iron cables. The crowded breakout caused the warships to collide with each other. In the wild, the blood bleeds, and the river on the shore is stained with scarlet.
The forward soldiers who broke into Lulingguan first were blocked outside the inner city and could not be attacked. The rear reinforcements were cut off again, and they became solitary.
Hu Guanglie, who retired from the border, met with the support army led by Xiao Yan and turned around to kill the border. Hu Guanglie took the lead and led the army to kill the city gate. A long sword whistled, and he repeatedly killed and killed the enemy's former general.
Sui Ning Wang Zhijun for many years, the lower part of the army was brave, seeing the defeat of Zhong Fu, still desperately resist, and refused to give up.
However, when the drums of the enemy's main ship were heard, the king Ding Ning personally ascended the bow and sounded the drums of the battle. A former Jinjia general waved a huge axe, fierce and incomparable, and killed a **** road, leading the trapped The soldier turned around and broke out, retreating to the shore warship.
For a while, the morale of the enemy soldiers rose, the forces of sorrow and sorrow fought against the death, and there was a great potential for a comeback.
But before Yiqi ushered into battle, the white horse was red, and the silver armor won the snow. It was Song Huai'en Qing's dart gun that swept through thousands of thousands and faced the golden armored general together. The bow and drums shook the clouds, and King Suining rushed into a hurry.
I felt so cold in the city's head. The blood was raining in front of me, and the sound of killing was as if I were in Shura Hell.
Suddenly a low-sounding horn, the gate of the city opened, the flag hunted, and the handsome flag was high in the middle.
Xiao Yan immediately got down from the city, and Yao Yao and Xiang Ning, the prow of the bow, had a sword in his hand, and he went straight to the shore.
At the point pointed by Jian Feng, the angry horse was hissing, and he shouted from side to side. "The king of Yuzhang rebelled against the rebels.
Our army thundered loudly, the halberds held up, and they shouted and shouted.
Yu Zhang and Wang Shuaiqi were recruited, Xiao Xie jumped out of the horse, behind him, the iron riders guarded with heavy shields and armors, followed him to the front. The sound of the boots was uniform, and each step was like an iron wall moving, and the cold light of the halberd passed the gloomy sky in the wind and rain.
The enemy's voice stood weak before the battle, and the snare of King Suining's battle drums was stagnant, and then re-sounded. The bow and crossbowmen on the floor ship battled Qi Qi to the direction of the handsome flag, the arrow rain covered the sky, and hit the heavy iron shield wall suddenly.
I looked down from the city, everything was in full view, and my heart was trembling. I was suspicious, and I was suspected to be in the turbulent waves. With the rise and fall of the battle under the city, I was suddenly thrown into the sky and suddenly fell into the abyss.
I only heard that several teams of soldiers on King Suining's battleship yelled loudly and screamed and scolded Xiao Xiao. Although the enemy forces before the battle steadily retreated, they were still brave and stubborn. At the stalemate, Xiao Yan and the guardian Tieqi have been forced to stand in front of the arrow rain.
Another round of arrow rain took a break, and the next round was about to go unnoticed, and suddenly Xiao Xiao turned his bow and took an arrow.
The arrows were everywhere, winning the continuous sound, instead of shooting at the former coach, it was worth shooting three lanyards from the main ship Qianfan!
There was a loud noise in the exclamation of everyone at the bow--the hundreds of kilograms of the canopy fell down, broke the mast, and fell straight to the bow, smashing the bow of the dragon-painted gold sculpture into pieces and splashing, and couldn't avoid it. The soldiers were either smashed under the mast or fell into the river. The landing of the puffy sail is exactly where King Suining beats his drums.
Seeing that the warship was hit hard by this, the coach was crushed under the broken wooden mast, and the life and death were unknown-the enemy army was frightened and the front was chaotic. The general Jin Jia was fighting hard with Song Huai'en, and was shocked to see this scene. A distraction, Song Huai'en suddenly shot back and stabbed, and immediately fell off the horse.
King Suining has gone, and more than ten warships intact on the river have left the wounded and disabled soldiers, fell off the turn of the ship, and retreated to the south bank.
At this point, the enemy's army broke down and no longer wanted to fight.
Someone dropped the blade and shouted, "I am willing to surrender to King Yuzhang!" A few dozen people immediately responded in front of the battle, taking the road to run. The commander-in-chief did not have time to stop, and more than a hundred people fled the armor and fled.
After this battle, the striker of King Suining was completely exhausted, and more than half of the Centaur surrendered to Xiao Yan, and the recalcitrants were wiped out. Except for the destruction of the main ship, the rest of the hard-built building was captured by our army, and it won't cost you anything to win the warship to cross the river.
However, in the final search of the battlefield, the body of King Suining was not seen.
I was afraid that this person was very old-fashioned, and seeing that the battle was in a critical situation, he had already replaced himself and retreated to the second ship. Seeing that the forward was defeated, he immediately abandoned the remnants and fled.
That night, Xiao Xuan rewarded the three armies and drank with the generals at the Shishi Mansion.
The following 100,000 troops also arrived before midnight. Xiao Yan ordered the three armies to rest for the time being, replenish their forage, and cross the Henan expedition the next day.
As soon as the reward was over, I claimed to be overwhelming and retired from the party, leaving Xiao Yue to join his brothers and brothers together.
Xiao Ye didn't force me to stay, only whispered to me if he didn't like the generals.
I shook my head and smiled--iron and blood, wine and knife, after all, are the world of men.
I said, "I didn't intend to imitate Mulan, I didn't intend to imitate ..." The sentence didn't finish, and the last two words fell into my lips.
Hu Guanglie came up to hold Xiao Yan toasting, and he was drunk. While Xiao Yi was helpless, I was too busy to quit.
Hurrying out of the house, I was thinking for a moment, still in the shock of the talent ... The two words that I wanted to blurt out shocked me, and I don't know when the thought of ghosts and gods would come out. Lu Yi, I almost blurted out, "I have no intention to imitate Mulan, I have no intention to imitate Lu Yi!"
All the way up and down, the car has quietly stopped in front of the hall.
The army is about to march early in the morning tomorrow. This time I leave, I don't know what the future is, and I won't be able to return again.
Slowly lingering in the deep corridors, in the shade of flowers and trees, and being in a place where he had lived alone for three years, he has a sense of passing the world. The little county owner who likes to shed barefoot, drunken flowers, whispers to flowers in his spare time, and cares about rain in his sadness has disappeared.
I went back to my study and thought of Jiner playing chess with me ... I asked the servants of the house and the housekeeper, and only said that after I was robbed, the girl Jiner disappeared. A poisonous hand.
Jiner, that clever smiling and beautiful woman, is it really like this?
Standing in front of the mirror where Jin'er Zeng Qiao hand dressed for me, I was dismayed, reached out and put on the cold mirror, and touched the woman in the mirror-so familiar and so strange eyebrows, where the eyes flow, there is only endless seclusion cold.
On the way to Huizhou, Xiao Min received a Beijing-China secret report, confirming that my mother had returned to Beijing. He gave me the short sword that he had carried with him for many years, and picked out a few loyal and reliable people from the best females, and followed me as a maid. I went to the battlefield, looked at the blood and washed the white blade, the night of a thousand lights, life and death victory and loss are shouldered by two people, no one will leave alone.
Back to the palace, the generals had already dispersed, but saw Pang Gui hurriedly greeted, "The princess went out at night, and the king was very worried."
I smiled slightly, "Is the prince resting?"
Pang Gui said, "After the feast, Wang Ye is slightly drunk and has returned to the room."
"You have worked hard for many days, and take a good rest tonight." I nodded with a smile, trying to move in. Pang Gui suddenly caught up and lowered his voice, "I have something to tell you."
I froze and turned to see him, only listening to Pang Gui whispering, "Under his night tour, he captured a guard with a secret letter and secretly relayed the state of war in Huizhou. He was suspected of being sent by King Suining. Has been detained by his subordinates. "
It is not uncommon for those between the two armies to exchange each other. I frowned and looked at Pang Gui, and said indifferently, "Because he is a guard, he should be given to General Song for disposal. Why do we hold people in private?"
Pang Gui lowered his voice to a very low level, hesitating, "Subordinates found that the secret letter had the emblem of the master of the left."
"What!" I was shocked, looking around, and seeing the servants still far apart, so I calmed down and asked, "Where is this person, what have they confessed to, and who knows this?"
Pang Gui chuckled, "The matter is very important, and his subordinates dare not show it. He has been held alone by others, and no one else knows yet. This man has attempted himself and has not confessed."
I settled under my heart, "Where's the secret?"
Pang Gui took a bamboo tube out of his sleeve and handed it to me. The wax seal has been removed, and a very thin paper roll is hidden in the tube. It is covered with a fly's head in lower case and is written in detail. From Wu Qian's transformation to the state of Huizhou, it is written in great detail. The Zhu Qi emblem at the end of the letter clearly reflected in my eyes-my hand trembled, as if burned by Mars. This is indeed my father's emblem!
A thin letter of paper, the more I pinched, the sweat on my palms.
I immediately brought a few personal servants to the study, and ordered Panggui to bring the person to see me.
At this time, the night was quiet, and the guards outside the study had retreated, only lighting a faint candle. The man was brought personally by Pang Gui, his body was tied tightly, and the cloth strips were lingering in his mouth, and he just looked at me in amazement, with no sound at all.
I stared at it and saw that he was wearing the clothes of Xiao Yan's close guard.
Pang Gui retired silently and covered the door quietly.
I gazed at the man and slowly said, "I'm the master of Shangyang County, the daughter of the left son."
The man's eyes changed.
"If you are a man of the left, you can show your identity to me without worrying." I showed him the secret letter. "I will not give this letter to Wang Ye, and I will not reveal your identity."
The man lowered his head and groaned for a long while, took a deep breath, and finally nodded.
I placed the letter on top of the candlelight, watching it turn to ashes, and asked lightly, "Have you been lurking in close proximity to King Yuzhang, spying on the military situation for my father?"
The man nodded.
"Do you have a companion?" I stared at him.
The man shook his head decisively, his eyes flickered, and he was alert.
I looked at him in silence for a while, this face was still so young ... "You are loyal to your father, and Wang Xie is here to thank you." I lowered my head, yelled at him slightly, and turned to walk out the door.
Pang Gui came up, silent, and just bowed his head and waited for me to show.
I spit out two words from my lips, "Execute."
The night breeze in Huizhou has never felt so cold. I walked down in a daze, my heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, the tighter the pinch, the tighter I couldn't breathe, the faster I walked.
In this world, no one knows my father better than me, Master Zuo Xiang. During his lifetime, the sea was ups and downs, with decades of arbitrary and authoritarian power, the weight of his deliberations, and the depth of the city, it was not what I could imagine. He and Xiao Xun are just two allies of Qi Feng opponents, and the alliance is performed in the name of Weng Xun ... and this so-called ally is only a temporary enemy.
I know that my father never really trusted Xiao Yue, just as Xiao Yue never trusted his father, and he even called him Zuoxiang. He rarely heard him talk about his father-in-law.
The moment I put on my wedding dress and stepped out of the house, what was my father thinking? Whether he hasn't regarded me as the closest and credible daughter since then, but only the wife of his opponent ... Since he married me to Xiao Yue, he has begun guarding this son-in-law with heavy soldiers, not only in him Planting eyes and ears around me even more alienated me.
Although the army was launched in order to support the prince and protect the Wang family, it also allowed Xiao Chen to take advantage of the forces in the general to infiltrate the court. Once we are successful, I am afraid that King Yuzhang will replace the original right-handed and share his father in the court.
My father naturally knew this, but he had no choice but to know that he was bringing a wolf into the room. He could only use the power of Xiao Yao to push the prince to the throne. Once Xiao Kun repels the masters of King Qin, and the crown prince is successfully ascended to the throne, his father will not sit idly by and watch Xiao Xiao's rise.
Xiao Huan's idea is not out of his mind.
His father could plant his eyes and ears among his guards, and he knew the movements of Beijing Central. My father had a dark man, and Xiao Yan had a man in between. I was afraid that the two of them would not be fighting for a day or two.
I did not think about it before, if one day, they will eventually be enemies, and where do I go from here.
On the one hand, there is love, and on the other hand, there is love. No one can measure the importance of it. It is painful to let go of either side!
Until this evening, I saw the secret letter with my own eyes, and saw the man ... Everything finally spread out in front of me, forcing me to make a choice.
Is it letting go, is it killing? Do you pretend to never know it, or do you want to completely wipe it out from anyone?
At that moment, eighteen years of blood was flowing in my bones, pushing me to make instinctual choices.
I don't know which side is right and which side is wrong. I only know that one side is my past and the other is my future.
In my blood, the cruelty and sobriety accumulated through the generations of this family of patriarchs.
My father gave me all the best things in the world until he pushed me to Xiao Yan with his own hands ... all the good things had fallen into the dust and turned into fly ash. At that time, I was willing and took the road that my father pointed out for me ... without complaining, no regrets, but just deep in my heart, this kind of abandoned despair can never heal.
After many storms, life and death are dangerous, and finally I know how difficult life is. Whom am I to stand by in order to have a clear sky covering the wind and rain? When the former blessing is gone, which place can I choose?
Father, my loyalty is only once.
Three years ago I fulfilled your will faithfully, and this time, I chose to stand by my husband.
A tall figure blocked the way, and the hem of the black dragon-dragon brocade came into view.
My heart was chaotic, and I lowered my head, couldn't stop the rushing pace, and couldn't stop rushing into his arms.
"Where did I go all night?" He had a heavy drink, a low, hoarse voice, and a hint of anger.
I didn't look up, laid my face on his chest, and hugged him tightly, lest I lose this last driftwood again.
He reached out to touch my face and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
I couldn't speak, but I felt so much sorrow in my throat that I couldn't breathe, and my mouth was full of suffocation.
"But I blame me for drinking and didn't accompany you all night?" Xiao Yan laughed with a smile and raised my face.
I closed my eyes tightly and did not want to be saddened by his eyes.
He thought I was angry, chuckled, and hugged me in his arms, striding towards the room.
When he got to the room, the maids backed out. He put me on the couch and stared down at me. "Silly girl, what's wrong?"
I tried to touch a smile, but I couldn't hide the bitterness in my heart.
He gazed at me and narrowed his smile. "You can't laugh when you don't want to laugh ... I won't force you to do anything, and you don't need to perfuse me."
I hid my face suddenly, hid my face in my palm, and hid my ridiculous laughter and tears.
At this moment, I was shocked that my father was different from Xiao Yan. Let me do anything. My father took it for granted and would n’t ask me for reluctance. Xiao Xiao did n’t, but he wanted me to be willing and not allow half. Bare and perfunctory.
Perhaps this time, I finally did nothing wrong, and finally chose a willing path for myself.
Regardless of regret or not, at least this time, I always choose it myself.
Xiao Yan embraced me silently without asking, only to let me cry in his arms.
I was so sad that I couldn't stop crying. My heart gradually became clear, and I finally realized that this time, I really betrayed my father, and since then I lost him. I can never find the time under Huan's knees again ...
"What can make you sad like this?" Xiao Yan sighed heavily, raised my face, his eyes full of pity.
I held his hand and suddenly panicked, "If one day I lose everything and do nothing, will you treat me like I do now, will you stay with me until I grow old?"
He was silent and looked at me deeply without a smile.
I couldn't help laughing, my heart was cold.
He leaned down and sighed slightly, "In my opinion, you are nothing at all, just my woman!"
The next day, the blue sky was like a wash, and the east wind was a masterpiece. The sun shone on the rolling river, like a reckless golden dragon, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
The majestic weather in the heavens and the earth wiped out the **** rain yesterday.
In the sound of the golden drums, the three armies rushed together, and the armor was shining.
The bow was bright and the black handsome flag hunted in the wind.
The building ship raised the huge sail and broke the waves, connected end to end, and crossed the mighty river.
Xiao Yan and I stood at the bow of the boat side by side.
When he raised his hand, he touched his hand. He stared at me with a smile, and reached for his hair.
"If you are a prince, you should marry Jinwu, and marry a wife and you should marry Yin Lihua." He raised his eyebrows and smiled, his mind fluttered infinitely. "When I was a boy, I devoted my entire heart to Yang Guangwu, who had made this aspiration."
The dream of the boy of the past has been firmly held in his hands, Mo Jinzhi, I am afraid that the position of the prince will not hold him back.
I met his glittering eyes, and his heart flickered for a moment, and sighed with a smile, "The Emperor Guanglie was able to follow Emperor Guangwu and not to lose his life for a long time. Imagine the emperor that year, carrying Hongyan, Dingjiangshan, what a hero happily ..."
Xiao Yun laughed loudly, "I will go to battle for thousands of miles, with your long companion side. If Guangwu knows, you should also be jealous of me!"
In front of him, the river is long and the world is vast, but the magnanimity in his eyes makes this magnificent river and mountains eclipse.
