"Shangjing, I'm coming!" The shouts were like rolling thunder, rolling through the sky and falling into thousands of households in Shangjing City, and naturally also fell into the palace.
The Tai Chi Hall was suddenly silent.
After a while, guards flew over.
"Back to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, General Qin Sheng flew to report that the rebel leader Yun Zhao has arrived at the gate of the capital. His leading troops are more than ten thousand Mongolian cavalry. They are currently running around the city to demonstrate. Our troops are ready to deal with them. Prepare to attack the city!" the guard shouted loudly.
Everyone was silent. The enemy came so quickly. It was no longer realistic to expect Su Can to return to the capital.
In the midst of the silence, Qin Rouniang stood up and said: "The Meng cavalry claims to be unparalleled in the world. Now that the troops are approaching the city, it is necessary to watch. My lords, I am afraid that I have not really seen the Meng cavalry, so I will follow the Ai family." Go up to the city and have a look. I want to see how these roaring cavalry attack my city wall."
Of course the cavalry are not here to attack the city, they are here to demonstrate, Cao Yi said in her heart.
Half an hour later, under the leadership of Qin Rouniang, the civil and military officials from Shangjing appeared on the towering tower of Shangjing. Under the city, cavalry phalanxes stood thickly one after another, with three large flags at the front of the formations buzzing.
Yun Zhao was like a shining pearl in the dark night. Even among the thousands of troops, Qin Rou Niang still saw him at a glance. Twelve years, exactly twelve years, since we parted ways in Qinjia Village , this is the first time we have met in twelve years.
It was a lie to go up to the city to watch the enemy's military formation. Qin Rouniang knew in her heart that she actually wanted to see Yun Zhao. Twelve years ago, we were close to each other. Twelve years later, the swordsmen met each other and fought to the death. This is how nature plays tricks on people.
The two sides were hundreds of meters apart, and she could not clearly see Yun Zhao's face. She could only see a rough outline, but Qin Rouniang knew that she would not be mistaken, that person must be him.
She took two steps forward and held the railing of the tower with both hands. In an instant, her eyes became blurry.
"Yunzhao, look!" Under the city, the red lady pointed to the tower and said to Yunzhao: "Is that Qin Rouniang?"
Yun Zhao suddenly raised his head and looked at the city tower in the distance. There, standing a woman with a phoenix crown and a gorgeous robe, was far different from the Qin Rouniang in his image. He slowly drove his horse forward and drove forward.
"Your Majesty, no!" Wu Fan on the side was startled and reached out to grab the reins of Yun Zhao's war horse, but Pili was very smart. He raised his head and flicked it, avoiding Wu Fan's hand and leading Yun Zhao towards him. Run forward.
The red lady didn't say anything, stirred up the horse, and followed closely. When Wu Fan saw this, he also quickly followed. The guard battalion behind him slowly pressed forward, maintaining a distance of dozens of steps between the three of them. distance.
There were ditches on the ground, and only two or three horses were left to pass side by side. Yun Zhao did not rein in the horses, and Pili continued to move forward slowly. The red lady rode up and stopped Yun Zhao with her whip across the horse, "You can't go any further." If you go forward, you will enter the shooting range of the bed crossbow." She whispered.
Yun Zhao nodded and looked up. From this distance, he could see clearly that the woman was indeed Qin Rouniang, but she was no longer the pure woman she was back then. She was graceful and luxurious, with evil eyes. He looked at Yun Zhao The emotions in Zhao's eyes were extremely complex, including pity, love, hate and resentment.
The two looked at each other, and tens of thousands of people were silent above and below the city.
Qin Sheng quietly took two steps back, then two more steps, and then squatted in front of a bed crossbow. The bed crossbow had already been strung up, and the crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shone with black light, and he slowly adjusted the angle. Qin Sheng kept thinking in his heart, "Amitabha, God bless you, bless what I hit with the crossbow."
The three of them were a little further away, just at the edge of the bed crossbow's range. At this distance, it would take a bit of luck to hit the target.
Are you aiming? You should be aiming! Qin Sheng closed his eyes and pulled the trigger hard. The crossbow let out a scream, and the crossbow arrows came out from the city wall, bringing out a black residual light in the air. Fly towards the location of the three people below the city.
The string in Wu Fan's heart was always tense. This distance was really dangerous. He pressed his hand on the handle of the knife and kept staring at the city wall. Yun Zhao and Lady Hong were looking at Qin Rouniang, but his eyes were The crossbow arrows that shone with cold light never left the walls of the city wall. Although the distance was just at the edge of the crossbow bed, it did not rule out the possibility that the other party could hurt the prince.
Almost at the same time as the scream of the crossbow sounded, Wu Fan already shouted, "Be careful!" The horse moved forward, and the whole war horse blocked him in front of Yun Zhao and Hong Niangzi, the steel knife He took it out of its sheath and stared at the afterimage.
At the same time as the crossbow sounded, Yun Zhao sighed, and the red lady's long riding whip was already in his hand.
Yun Zhao was a master of archery. As soon as the crossbow was fired, he knew with just one glance that it was still several meters away from the three of him, and it was impossible to kill him. But this arrow broke all the arrows. resentment.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With a sound, the bed crossbow was inserted about ten feet away from the three of them. The tail of the crossbow buzzed and shook constantly, like a poisonous snake that chooses people to eat. A cry of surprise was heard all over the city and below at the same time.
There were sighs on the city, but there were sounds of shock and anger below the city. Qin Rouniang turned around and glared at Qin Sheng, but Qin Sheng looked at Qin Rouniang calmly, "It's a pity. If I could hit it with a crossbow, I would be able to relieve the siege of Shangjing." The difficulties of Vietnam can be solved by itself."
Qin Rouniang sighed softly and turned around, only to see that Yun Zhao and the others had already ridden back and were already far away from the range of the bed crossbow.
"My lord, you must never do something like this again!" Wu Fan was still in shock. Fortunately, the opponent did not have a demon-suppressing crossbow. If more than a dozen crossbows were fired together, even at the edge of the range, the consequences would be unpredictable. At this time, His face was still pale and he kept complaining.
Yun Zhao suddenly turned the horse's head and looked at the top of the city wall. Wu Fan was shocked and didn't know what the prince wanted to do. However, he saw Yun Zhao taking down the broken army from the saddle, twisting his right hand, and holding out an arrow. Come, clasp the arrow, pull the string, the bow is like a full moon, the arrows come out of the string with a whooshing sound, and before Wu Fan can react, the second, third, and fourth arrows are already flying continuously. go out.
The second arrow caught up with the first one and hit its tail, knocking the arrow sideways. The third arrow that followed was shot behind the middle of the second one. The two arrows immediately changed their directions after receiving this powerful blow. One was tilted to the left, and the other was vertically downward. The fourth arrow chased after him, and just after hitting the tail of the third arrow, there was a "ding" sound. The sky became vertical, and at that moment, the four arrows formed a large character in the sky.
"It's over!"
The grudges, the feelings, the longings are gone! Everything is gone at this moment. What is left is the sword-to-sword encounter.
The word ÁË lasted for a very short time in the air, just enough for everyone to see clearly that it was the word ÁË, and then they turned around and plunged into the moat under the city. They submerged into the water with a few chirps, and were never seen again.
All the soldiers and ministers in the city were dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone shoot a word in the air with an arrow, but Qin Rouniang felt sour, sweet, bitter, and full of flavors in her heart. Yun Zhao must have thought that this arrow was shot by someone. Yes, forget it, what¡¯s the difference between this and what I ordered to release!
Got it!
Everything is settled!
The tens of thousands of cavalrymen under the city were shocked, but they spontaneously burst into deafening cheers.
"My lord's magical skill!" There are tens of thousands of cavalrymen under the city, all of them are good at riding and shooting. But when Yun Zhao uses his feather arrow to draw a word in the air, his speed, strength and calculation are really unbelievable. Like a god.
While Jamuka was cheering, he couldn't help but feel sad. He almost sweated from holding the starry eyes in his hands. He always thought that Yun Zhao was neglecting the battle, so his archery skills must have deteriorated, and the distance between him and himself must have been shortened. , I saw it today, but it was a big mistake. Now I am being pulled further and further away.
"There is no way I can shoot these arrows."
Yun Zhao galloped back. This time, he did not look back. He went straight back to the cavalry formation, passed through the cavalry array of the Guards Battalion, and ran towards the distance. One team after another of the Guards Battalion rode their horses to follow. In an instant, they retreated into the distance. As Yun Zhao left, Meng Qi began to become active again, galloping around the capital in groups one after another. Gradually, one group after another, they followed Yun Zhao towards the distance. Slowly disappearing from everyone's sight.
The cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army retreated just as quickly as they came. In an instant, they disappeared like an ebbing tide. Only three flags were left, which were blown by the wind and made a hunting sound under the Shangjing City.
"Let's go!" Qin Rou Niang flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked down the city wall. Cao Yi, Wang Jinglue, Qin Sheng and others quickly followed.
The big shots retreated completely in an instant, leaving only the soldiers guarding the city looking at the distance below the city, looking at the three big flags, and then they believed that the scene just now was not a dream, but a real fact. .
Zhu Zhu held the barrel of his gun tightly, retreated to the wall of the city tower, and slowly sat down against the wall. Oh my God, there really is such a person in this family! Is this battle still worth fighting? Is he really capable? Did they run away after the fight? Those cavalrymen all carried bows on their backs. How were they compared to King Zhengbei? Even if Yun Zhao had only one skill, he would probably have to shoot wherever he pointed!
Zhu Zhu's heart was filled with despair. The soldiers around him looked similar to him. Their faces were all pale, and some even had chaff on their legs.
Qin Gan saw all this, but did not say anything to scold him. He knew that it was useless. In fact, like these soldiers, his heart was full of despair, but he hid it deeply in his heart. .
After the cavalry left, the infantry was naturally not far away. In the evening, Qin Gan finally saw a flag reappearing on the horizon. After a while, he walked closer and could see that it was the flag of the Panshi Camp. It was a few meters away from the city. Wherever they go, they open up in a big way.After setting up camp, the patrolling sentries rushed to the foot of Shangjing City. Obviously, they did not pay attention to the soldiers in Shangjing City at all. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it.
