mountain and river oath

The next day Zhao Jing set up an army formation under Yangguan City and ordered soldiers to attack the city.Archers stand in front of the formation and shoot arrows. Under the cover of the archers, soldiers who are good at climbing climb up the city wall with ladders. Rouran soldiers throw stones down from the top of the city. Continuing to climb, someone climbed up, and the Rouran soldiers guarding the city immediately swarmed up, and the two sides fought, the soldiers were outnumbered and fell on the city.

"Kill!" Zhao Jing roared.

The war drums roared, and the dense drumbeats were deafening, resounding through the entire desert, and there was a chill between the sky and the earth, and the smell of fresh blood came from the wind.

"Kill, kill" roared again and again, and the soldiers climbed up the ladder desperately, were thrown down by stones, and then rushed up again. The Yangguan city wall was covered with dense crowds, one after another under the city. The dead bodies were piled up like a hill.

Zhao Jing drew his bow and aimed at the top of the city. He let go of his hand, and an arrow pierced through the air and shot towards the top of the city. A soldier fell from the top of the city in response.

"Okay, Your Highness Yingwu!" The people behind immediately cheered.

Zhao Jing took out an arrow, continued to aim, and hit the enemy with one arrow.

"The people of Rouran want to shoot arrows, Your Highness, be careful." The military general behind him saw the general of Rouran at the top of the city draw his bow and aimed at Zhao Jing, and reminded Zhao Jing worriedly.

"It's okay," Zhao Jing said, he drew the bowstring fully, and an arrow shot out through the air, followed by general Rouran's arrow, the two arrows met in the air, Zhao Jing's arrow hit general Rouran's arrow, and the two arrows It fell softly to the ground.

"Good" generals began to cheer.

With a smile on Zhao Jing's mouth, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, which passed through the brim of General Rouran's hat. My heart was chilly, and I felt scared, so I didn't dare to stay at the top of the city, and secretly hid in a hidden place to command.

"Haha, the barbarians are scared," the general behind Zhao Jing laughed.

"Soldiers of the Great Wei, charge forward and take back our land," Zhao Jing said loudly.

"rush"

"rush"

With the sound of shouts and the sound of drums shaking the sky, everyone was furious and moved forward bravely.One person climbed to the top of the city, two people climbed to the top of the city, more and more people climbed up, Rouran soldiers were overwhelmed.

Zhao Jing saw it clearly from the bottom of the city, and was very happy in his heart. It seemed that he could conquer Yangguan today.

"Your Highness, it's not good," the orderly said as he stumbled over, his face full of panic.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jing asked uneasy.

"Rouran's reinforcements have arrived," the messenger said.

"So fast" Zhao Jing couldn't believe it, he turned to look at Shu Zilan, his face was full of surprise.

"Withdraw" Zhao Jing roared.

"withdraw"

"Withdraw" everyone roared.

The soldiers of Rouran saw Zhao Jing ordering to retreat and immediately attacked. The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty suffered countless losses. Zhao Jing led the troops to retreat. , ran over quickly, Zhao Jing waved his hand to stop the retreat, and said, "Arrange to defend against the enemy"

The standard-bearer flipped the flag and commanded the soldiers to line up to resist the enemy in place.

Rouran rode a horse and rushed over madly

"Soldiers of the Great Wei, follow me and kill!" Zhao Jing roared.

Riding on a horse to meet the enemy, he drew out the sword that he carried with him, and when he met a horse, cut a horse and cut a person, he turned his back on his horse and cut a path beside him. Zhao Jing rode out and saw a thin and luxurious man not far The man was riding on a tall horse surrounded by many people. Zhao Jing guessed that this person must be of extraordinary status. He looked back at Shu Zilan. Shu Zilan nodded slightly and said, "Go and capture that person, I will protect you."

"Okay," Zhao Jing said with a smile.

He rushed out on horseback, with Shu Zilan covering behind him, Zhao Jing approached the man gradually as if no one was there, he stepped on the horse's back, and with his strength flew to the man like a big roc, the man seemed not expecting it When Zhao Jing was able to find him among the thousands of troops, he was a little surprised, and immediately fought back. Zhao Jing didn't expect the man's skill to be good. Palm, Zhao Jing defuses the man's palm force and grabs the man's hand, only to feel that his hand is smooth and soft. He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw the man's handsome appearance, with a hint of shyness on his face.

"It's a woman." Zhao Jing suddenly understood.

The woman saw that Zhao Jing had already guessed her identity, and slapped her in anger. Zhao Jing, ignoring the defense of men and women, grabbed the woman's hand,

"Offended," Zhao Jing said, and tapped the woman's acupuncture points, and the woman fell limply into Zhao Jing's arms, her pretty face flushed with a blush, and she looked at Zhao Jing unwillingly.

"Listen, Rouran people, I have captured your people, if you want her to live, get out of the way." Zhao Jing rode on the horse and said loudly, his voice was resounding and spread throughout the mountains.

The guards beside the woman looked at Zhao Jing vigilantly, and Shu Zilan led people to guard Zhao Jing, preventing the woman's attendants from counterattacking.

"Your Highness Six is ​​so handsome!" A voice came from the crowd.

A man came slowly from the crowd, surrounded by a group of burly khans, wearing a hat with a brightly colored feather on the brim, handsome and tall.

When the woman saw the man, her eyes flashed with joy,

"You." The man looked at the woman lovingly.

"Third brother," the woman called the man aggrievedly.

"Let her go, I'll let you go," the man said.

Zhao Jing was surprised, he didn't expect this man to give up the victory for this girl, it seems that there is true love among the Rouran royal family, he said, "I will let her go if I take her to five kilometers away"

"Okay, but I want to follow," the man said.

"Okay" Zhao Jing said.

Zhao Jing led the woman to withdraw slowly, gradually getting away from Rouran's army, and the man followed with his personal guards at a distance. At five kilometers away, Zhao Jing thought that the distance was enough for them to escape. He unlocked the woman's acupuncture points, and carefully put the woman He got off the horse and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

The woman looked at Zhao Jing, and said heartily, "You didn't apologize to me. The two armies have always fought either you or him. I don't blame you. Next time we meet on the battlefield, I will kill you."

"Okay, I'll see you on the battlefield." Zhao Jing said with a smile. Although they had opposing positions, he admired such a straightforward woman.

The woman stopped talking, and quickly got on the horse. The man was waiting for the woman not far away. The woman quickly caught up with the man on the horse, and the two left hand in hand.

Zhao Jing looked at the backs of the two leaving from afar, feeling filled with emotion.

"There is such a person in the Rouran royal family," Shu Zilan said as she watched the two gradually disappear into the desert.

"Who are they?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and asked.

"Princess Tuya, Prince Yeqi, Princess Tuya is a rare female general of the Rouran clan. Prince Yeqi is a corporal who is respectful and compassionate to the people. They have a high reputation in Rouran," Shu Zilan said.

"Are they brothers and sisters?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Yes or no?" Shu Zilan asked.

"How to say?" Zhao Jing asked curiously.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing with rare curiosity, and said with a smile, "Princess Tuya is the daughter of a tribal chief from the eighteen tribes of Rouran. That chief and Rouran Dahan felt like brothers, so he named his daughter Tuya. Princess, as adopted daughters, they probably grew up together and have a deep relationship." Shu Zilan said enviously, he and Zhao Chong grew up together, but in the end they went astray.

"They don't look like ordinary siblings?" Zhao Jing said.

"Are they lovers?" Shu Zilan asked in surprise.

"Well, he is willing to give up the victory he has won for this woman. The relationship between the two must be very deep. What is it not a lover? What's more, the man looked at the woman's eyes. If she wanted the stars in the sky, the man would give her Let's go." Zhao Jing said, Ye Qi looked at Tuya with pampering and pampering eyes, how could he not be familiar with this kind of eyes, Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan in a blink of an eye.

Shu Zilan turned her head to avoid Zhao Jing's scorching gaze.

"Let's go" Zhao Jing whispered.

Shu Zilan followed behind Zhao Jing, and said for a long time, "Prince Yeqi came to Yangguan by surprise. He has at least 1 troops. In addition to Yangguan's [-] horses, our strength is far from enough."

"Go back and figure out a way." Zhao Jing looked at the long army behind him, all of them looked downcast, a victory that they had won was just lost, if they successfully captured Yangguan, maybe they would be able to return to the capital in a few days.

When the troops returned to the camp, in order to prevent Rouran from attacking the camp, Zhao Jing carefully inspected the situation at night, ordered the generals to take precautions, and sent people to dig trenches and build high walls around the camp to prevent Rouran from attacking.He didn't return to the big tent until the dead of night, and Shu Zilan sat inside, looking at the topographic map of Yangguan by candlelight.

"How is it?" Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan shook her head, "There is no way"

"Chen Youliang's troops are stationed in Qiu County. Qiu County is the border county between Dawei and Rouran. It's close to here and can arrive within two days. We asked him for help," Zhao Jing said.

"Can he come?" Shu Zilan asked.

"We were called to recover Yangguan, how dare he not come to help?" Zhao Jing said.

"Try it," Shu Zilan said.

"To be safe, let me give Chen Youliang a divorce letter." Zhao Jing got up to write the letter. He looked at the handwriting, looked at Shu Zilan and said, "Is it all right?"

"Yeah" Shu Zilan said.

"Come here," Zhao Jing said.

Immediately someone came in and said "Your Highness"

"Hurry up and deliver this letter to Chen Youliang from Qiu County," Zhao Jing said.

The visitor took the letter, turned and walked out.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jing asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I just feel uncertain," Shu Zilan said.

"Chen Youliang won't come?" Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan nodded.

"Why?" Zhao Jing asked puzzled.

"He might be from King Yu, how could he help you?" Shu Zilan said uncertainly.

Zhao Jing felt uneasy, and said, "Let's leave it to fate." He sat beside Shu Zilan, rubbing the center of his eyebrows with one hand, his face was tired.

"However, I wrote back to the capital and asked someone to bring something that might be useful," Shu Zilan said.

"What?" Zhao Jing asked curiously.

"Do you know the Thunderbolt Hall in the capital?" Shu Zilan asked.

"I know, Thunder Martial Hall is a gangster organization that sells fireworks," said Zhao Jing,

"They not only manufacture and sell fireworks, but also..." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said in a low voice.

"□□?" Zhao Jing said in disbelief.

"En." Shu Zilan nodded.

"Creating rape under the capital is a great crime that implicates the nine clans," Zhao Jing said.

"That's why only a few people know about Thunderbolt Hall's manufacture," Shu Zilan said.

"How do you know?" Zhao Jing asked in surprise.

"I am the head of the Shu family," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan. Everyone in the capital knew that the Shu family was rich and honored. After several generations of emperors, some aristocratic families gradually disappeared. Only the Shu family remained standing. Many people only saw the wealth of the Shu family and the management methods of the owner. , often ignore the hidden forces behind the Shu family, maybe Shu Zilan is not just Shu Zilan, he has many secrets, just like him.

"The Thunderbolt Hall is the power of the Shu family?" Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan nodded.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and was moved. Shu Zilan would not have revealed such a secret to him if it was not a last resort. In this war-torn era, mastering the gun technology is the bargaining chip for victory in the war.

"When will it be shipped?" Zhao Jing said excitedly.

"It's coming soon, I guess we will arrive in five days. When I was attacking Liangguan, I wrote a letter and ordered me to come here with me. I didn't expect Liangguan to be breached. Afterwards, we successfully captured Wuguan. I was worried that it would be difficult to attack Yangguan. Sending the letter to Yangguan is a long way, and it will take a few more days," Shu Zilan said.

"In the past few days, we will stay behind closed doors and stick to the top of the mountain," Zhao Jing said happily.

"It's just that Prince Yeqi is not as easy to fool as Prince Mogg, I'm afraid he won't give us time," Shu Zilan worried.

"We try our best to resist and try to delay the time," Zhao Jing said.

"That's the only way," Shu Zilan sighed.

Both of them understood that they didn't know if they could survive Yezi's attack for five days.
