"The city is here but the people are there, the city is dead and the people are dead." Someone in the team shouted, and the soldiers responded one after another. The sound was like a violent storm washing the entire battlefield, and like a turbulent wave impacting every inch of the land.
"Marshal, it seems that these Donglin soldiers have no intention of surrendering. Why do you think they are doing this? They have tens of thousands of troops and they have to fight to the death. I really don't know what they are thinking?" Zhao Zijian quietly walked up to them.
In front of Jin Dingguo, he pointed to the opposite side and said
Jin Dingguo sighed: "You don't know something. They are determined to die. To be honest, I feel very strange. Your best emperor can open the city gate and escape, but why is he indifferent? Could it be..."
Having said this, his face looked a little ugly, and he asked suspiciously: "Are you waiting for reinforcements?"
Zhao Zijian was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Marshal, you can rest assured, the general has always been with the Emperor, and has never heard of reinforcements nearby."
Jin Dingguo nodded and said: "In any case, we'd better fight quickly. Mr. Wang told us to capture this place before dark. If we follow the current strategy, it may be difficult to enter the city before dark."
"Let the generals lead the troops to attack the other two gates. The defense there is relatively weak. I believe they can capture it in less than an hour." Zhao Zijian said confidently. Yuan Chang and other generals nodded in agreement.
, they used to be stationed at the North Gate and South Gate, so they are very familiar with the defense situation there.
Jin Dingguo, on the other hand, shook his head and said: "You all underestimate your Emperor Shao. He can dispatch all his troops to guard the east gate, which means that the other two gates are impregnable. We'd better not be distracted. As long as we concentrate our efforts
Only by attacking here can we have a chance of winning.”
"The marshal is still thoughtful. According to the marshal's opinion, what should we do next?" Zhao Zijian asked respectfully.
"At present, several generals of the Donglin Kingdom have been killed, but the morale of the soldiers remains undiminished. As the saying goes, shoot men first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first, capture the king. We must find a way to capture the best emperor. As long as we control him, the others will naturally be captured.
"Jin Dingguo composed himself and added: "Remember, we have to capture Shao Yan alive later. This person is still valuable to us."
"The marshal means to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes." Zhao Zijian said with ill intentions: "As long as we have his trump card, we are not afraid that the Baimei father and daughter and the remaining forces of Donglin will not surrender."
A hint of approval flashed across Jin Dingguo's face, and he smiled slightly and said: "Marshal Zhao and I have thought of going together. Without further ado, I'd like you to take your men to attack a few more times."
"General, I obey." Zhao Zijian quickly led his 10,000 horses towards the city tower step by step. Yuan Chang, Li Guangyou, Zheng Qingyi and other generals led their troops to attack Shaoyan's troops from both sides.
Cheng Yong saw that most of the opponents were Donglin soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel fearful. Although he was known as a brave general, he was asked to kill his own brothers with a sword, not to mention him, even Shao Yan, who had always been fearless.
It was difficult to do. Jin Dingguo’s move undoubtedly posed a big problem for them.
"Your Majesty, how should we respond?" Facing the fierce Donglin surrender, Cheng Yong couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he walked to Shao Yan and asked
Shao Yan thought for a moment and said cheerfully: "If the soldiers come, block it, if the water comes, the earth will cover it. Kill!"
"But -" Cheng Yong hesitated to speak. From his embarrassed expression, it was easy to see that he was very unwilling to attack his brother troops. However, Zhao Zijian and others had long been mad, and how could they still think about the old friendship?
, one by one, they waved their swords wildly, slashing and killing everyone they met.
Shao Yan couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Kill them all, leaving no one behind."
"Get the order!" Cheng Yong led his troops to resist, and the two teams quickly merged together. In an instant, the battlefield was filled with the sound of weapons clashing, roars, fighting sounds, and screams one after another. Jin Dingguo
Then let your troops stay put, with a posture of sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
The former compatriots have become sworn enemies, especially Zhao Zijian, Yuan Chang, Li Guangyou, Zheng Qingyi and others who killed their own people. This is not ambiguous at all. They rushed into the crowd crazily and were extremely vicious.
He swung his sword and slashed hard, hitting the opponent's fatal parts. The soldiers fell into a pool of blood one by one.
Seeing how vicious their methods were, Shao Yan ignored the wounds on his body, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the surrendered soldiers with swords in both hands. Cheng Yong was a little concerned at first, saying that after all, we were all brothers before, and that was all.
, could not kill them all, but those soldiers would not accept his mercy at all, and even went to the extreme to take their lives. Cheng Yong's heart was suddenly broken, and he angrily raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and smashed their heads.
Shao Yan led Yun Yun to retreat while fighting. Zhao Zijian saw that he was injured, so he, Yuan Chang, and Zheng Qingyi quietly touched behind him, preparing to make a surprise attack when he was not prepared. Yun Yun soon discovered that they
With the intention, she propped up her weak body and swung her sword across. Zhao Zijian struck her sword with his sword. Due to the excessive force, Yun Yun's right hand was shocked to the point of numbness, and the sword in his hand also fell to the ground.
On the ground, Yuan Chang struck again with a knife. She had no time to dodge, leaving a deep wound on her shoulder. Blood flowed immediately, and her whole body lay on Shao Yan's back.
"Yunyun!" Shao Yan rushed to an open corner under the cover of several soldiers, and then put Yunyun on his lap. This girl was poisoned and had just been stabbed in the shoulder. She was pale at the moment.
Like paper, her breathing became weaker and weaker. After a while, she opened her eyes slightly, looked at Shao Yan lovingly, and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I'm afraid that I may not be able to survive, you-"
"Don't talk nonsense. You will be fine. I will ask Chang Yixiao to put down the suspension bridge and take you to see the doctor now." After saying that, Shao Yan raised his head and was about to urge Chang Yixiao to open the city gate. Yun Yun hurriedly took his hand and said: "
Your Majesty, please don’t do it. Once the suspension bridge falls, our previous efforts will be in vain. If we lose the city because of my concubine, I will not rest in peace even under the Nine Springs."
In addition to the severe pain from the wounds on Shao Yan's body, his heart felt like needles pricking him. He knew clearly that this girl was seriously ill and even a god would be hard-pressed to save her, but he still refused to face this fact.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, it's so cold. Can you hug me, my concubine?" Yunyun shuddered and said intermittently.
"Yeah" Shao Yan nodded with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but hug her into his arms. Only then did he realize that the temperature on her body was a bit cool, so he quickly pressed his face against her wet cheek.
Yunyun breathed out slowly, smiled with satisfaction, and moved her lips slightly, as if she was saying something. Shao Yan quickly put his ear to her mouth, and only heard a few short words, "...
Be a good emperor." After saying this, she quietly closed her eyes and slowly slid her hands down his thighs.
"So--"
The fighting was continuing. The breeze blew, and the dust and impurities on the ground were swept into a pile. Suddenly they were driven by the wind and floated into the distance. The leaves on the branches swayed with the wind, and finally couldn't help but swayed from side to side and fell to the ground.
The sky has not changed, the clouds have not moved, there is only a pitiful breath in the air
Shao Yan was deeply hit by Yun Yun's departure. His heart ached like a knife. Tears washed down Yun Yun's face like a downpour, flowing through his thighs and dripping to the ground along the horse's back.
Suddenly, a vivid face appeared in his mind. Was it smiling? No, crying? Not even. Sometimes it was blurry, sometimes it was clear, sometimes it made people feel happy, sometimes it made people feel sad. In short, it was a familiar face.
And kind face, yes, that's what she is. Not only is this girl not dead, but she is very close at hand. Shao Yan tried his best to conceal his inner grief and tried to comfort himself with various imaginations. Unfortunately, fantasy is always a dream. When the dream comes,
When I wake up, everything is still the same as before
After a long time, Shao Yan tied Yunyun to his back again. It used to be a warm body, but now it has become so cold. He picked up the long sword and wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands, revealing a pair of extremely cold and murderous eyes.
With his eyes fixed on Zhao Zijian's group, he cursed coldly: "Fuck you!"
It was too late, but it was too late. Before Zhao Zijian and others could recover, Shao Yan had already rushed behind them.
"Your Majesty, the general is here to help you." Seeing this, Cheng Yong hurriedly rode over to cooperate with him. Shao Yan only thought about revenge for Yu Yun, and had long forgotten the severe pain of the wound. He picked up the sword and fiercely pointed at Zhao Zijian and waited for a few seconds.
Zhao Zijian was shocked when he saw how fierce he was. The horse under him was frightened and threw him to the ground. Zhao Zijian got up from the ground and ran away. Shao Yan took advantage of the situation and jumped from the horse.
He rolled down on his back, chased after him, hugged his waist from behind, and pushed him to the ground with all his strength.
Due to Shao Yan's injuries and Zhao Zijian's strong body, it was very difficult to knock him down all at once. Shao Yan put his knee on his lower back and suddenly pushed forward. Zhao Zijian couldn't get down.
Stable, he was immediately pressed to the ground. Shao Yan pinched his neck fiercely, threw away the long sword in his hand, took out the short dagger from his waist, pointed it at his head and stabbed him. Zhao Zijian turned his head to the side,
Then he beat Shao Yan's injured arm hard. Shao Yan was so painful that he dropped the dagger on the ground. Zhao Zijian rushed to pick up the dagger and continued to beat Shao Yan's injured back with one hand, trying to aggravate his injury. Shao Yan was in pain.
Breaking into a cold sweat
Seeing that the dagger was about to pierce his heart, Shao Yan hit his wrist with his elbow, and the dagger flew far away. The two pinched each other and rolled around in a ball. After a while, Shao Yan suddenly
Seeing a big stone next to him, he couldn't help but immediately let go of his hands, picked up the stone and threw it at Zhao Zijian. Zhao Zijian was caught off guard and his whole head was smashed to pieces. Shao Yan hit his head several times with the stone.
It takes ten strokes to relieve the anger
Yuan Chang, Li Guangyou, and Zheng Qingyi were shocked. Seeing that their coach was dead, the three of them quietly took two steps back. Little did they know that Cheng Yong picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and struck him in the middle. Yuan Chang was not paying attention, and his body was instantly injured.
