Dingjiangshan

Ning Zheng's personal guards are completely different from those defenders in small towns.

From the beginning of this battle, Ning Huaijin knew that this battle could not be won.It's just that when they approached the city, if they turned around and turned back just because they saw Ning Zheng, their morale would be greatly damaged, so even though Ning Huaijin already knew that this battle would be defeated, he still had to bite the bullet and fight this battle .

Luzhou is a big city with high and strong walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Ning Zheng's personal soldiers are well-trained, so after two hours, there is still no sign of Luzhou city being broken.

It won't work like this, the enemy army is waiting for work at ease, if they fight hard, it will be nothing but losses, Ning Huaijin is unwilling in every possible way but has nothing to do, so he can only pull Xie Jue away, wanting to retreat temporarily.

Xie Jue had an old feud with Ning Zheng, but he wasn't really overwhelmed by his few words. He frowned after thinking about it, and had to agree.

——If they don't retreat and lose too much for no reason, the initiative in this battle will be transferred from their hands to Ning Zheng.

At that time, Ning Zheng only needs to open the door to fight, and they will naturally still have to withdraw, so it is better to stop in time now and make a decision later.

It's just that Ning Zheng is different from those generals who are more than cautious in defending the city. Relying on his elites, he is full of confidence and doesn't have to worry too much, so he naturally fights very aggressively. Open the city gate, want to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Ning Huaijin knew from the time of withdrawal that Ning Zheng would not let their main force go so easily, so she was not too surprised.As he had discussed with Xie Jue earlier, he led the left army to retreat as hard as possible, and instead of fighting, he retreated to the south of Luzhou.

Ning Zheng naturally thought that Ning Huaijin was going to withdraw his army, how could he be allowed to leave so easily, so he led his army in hot pursuit, and chased for more than a hundred miles, refusing to stop.

The south side of Luzhou is a plain area, there are no mountains around, only a river blocking the road a hundred miles away, for Ning Huaijin, it is already an excellent terrain to deal with chasing soldiers.

Ning Zheng might not be familiar with the terrain around Luzhou, or maybe he thought he was capable and wanted to give it a go. In short, he chased Ning Huaijin away from the border of Luzhou without any hesitation.

"Don't go." Ning Huaijin stopped his horse, turned to look at Xie Jue, and said, "It's not the same thing to retreat blindly. Your Majesty is still behind. I can't take the risk of leading the enemy back."

Xie Jue reined in his horse and looked back, only to feel that Ning Zheng's army was overwhelmed, at least more than 20.

"...He took out his entire family's money." Xie Jue said.

When they were chasing just now, the two armies had three or four brief frictions. Apart from Ning Zheng, Xie Jue even saw Feng Yuan in the enemy camp.

This at least shows that Ning Zheng either has no one to use, so even Feng Yuan, who even lost the ground, has to stay by his side as a lieutenant general, or he transferred all the guards around him back to Luzhou City, and just waited for him. With this last stand.

Ning Huaijin also took another look at the sound, and said with a sneer: "He is just a grasshopper after autumn, and it is His Majesty's favor to jump up to this day. It doesn't matter if the elites in Ning Zheng's hands come out in full force, the Anqing Mansion has more than enough heritage. He already lacks successors, and after this battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, it will be regarded as a heavy blow to him."

Xie Jue didn't make a sound, but it was obvious that he and Ning Huaijin wanted to go together. He clenched the spear in his hand, ordered the messengers to sound the drums, gathered the formation on the spot, stopped retreating, and made a gesture to meet the enemy. Potential.

In just a cup of tea, Ning Zheng's pursuers caught up and stopped twenty feet away.

"Uncle Xiaohuang is really eccentric." Ning Zheng held a slender saber in his hand, and said with a smile: "In Beijing, he was obedient to Xiaoliu, but when he met me, he avoided it."

Ning Huaijin couldn't bear to engage in such meaningless verbal battles with him, so she just shook off the longbow behind her back and held it in her hand, and touched the arrow basket on the horse's back with her right hand without any trace.

"Ning Huaijin, last time I let you go on Mount Jiuhua, it was my subordinates who were incompetent." Seeing that he didn't take the bait, Ning Zheng lost his patience, and simply raised his voice, "I don't know if you still have something to do today." No such luck."

"Rebellious ministers and thieves have a serious tone." Ning Huaijin sneered and said, "You still want to capture this king alive just because of your mere mob?"

Ning Zheng laughed out loud.

"You can try it." Ning Zheng raised his hand, pointed his saber behind Ning Huaijin, and said, "After this, there will be Pishui for a hundred miles. I want to see where you can retreat."

Ning Zheng said, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he didn't see Xie Jue at the side at all, looked around Ning Huaijin carelessly, and said maliciously: "This king wants to know, in Xiaoliu's heart, Little Emperor Uncle's body is worth a few thousand dollars, worth a few cities."

Before Ning Zheng finished speaking, there was a burst of extremely sharp arrow whistles in the air.Both Ning Zheng and Ning Huaijin thought it was a sneak attack from the enemy's formation, and subconsciously retreated behind the bow and shield soldiers.

The arrow whistle seemed to appear out of thin air, it came abruptly and inexplicably.

Before the generals of the two armies found out the source of the arrow whistle, they heard a burst of laughter from the sides of the two armies.

"Third Brother." The voice was a little imperceptibly joyful, and said easily: "You are wrong, Emperor Uncle Yuzhen, that is worth a thousand dollars--"

Ning Huaijin was startled suddenly, looked around, and saw that Ning Yan seemed to have come out of the ground out of thin air, leading an army of more than [-] people, standing right behind their soldiers and horses, obviously it had been here for a long time .

Ning Huaijin's heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness before spread a thousand times in an instant, making his heart beat a little faster.For a moment, he didn't care that Ning Zheng was still in front of the battle, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, what are you—!"

"Why are you here?" Ning Yan tilted his head, looked at Ning Huaijin with a smile, and said frivolously, "How can I leave you on the front line and ignore you, naturally I came to pick you up."

Ning Huaijin frowned.

— something is wrong, he thought.

Although Ning Yan was used to taking advantage of him with his mouth, most of them were in private, and he never said anything out of line in public, let alone in front of soldiers from the two armies.

The uneasiness in Ning Huaijin's heart became more and more intense, and she wished she could gallop to him immediately and throw him back to the Chinese army camp.

"Why is Your Majesty here!" Xie Jue gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is not good at horse fighting, so it would be too dangerous for the two armies to fight."

Ning Huaijin naturally knew this too. Ning Yan was good at swordsmanship since she was a child. Although she was good at riding and shooting, she had never touched a horse fighting weapon like a spear.

When the two armies were fighting, bows and arrows were not easy to use, and most of them were hacked with sabers, but Ning Huaijin looked around and saw that the sword hanging on Ning Yan's horse was obviously his own, and there was no shadow of a saber.

Ning Huaijin couldn't sit still any longer, she just pressed Xie Jue's shoulder, and then said in a low voice, "I'll go and stop Your Majesty."

Ning Zheng was stunned when Ning Yan showed up. He watched suspiciously for a long time, as if he didn't believe that Ning Yan could really stay behind in a safe place and ran to the front line to seek death.

But Ning Huaijin's eagerness was not fake, and the dragon pattern light armor shining brightly on Ning Yan's body was not something that others could wear casually.In addition, although Ning Zheng hasn't seen Ning Yan for ten years, he can still see traces of familiarity on his face.

"Heaven will help me." Ning Zheng couldn't even care about Ning Huaijin for a while, and stared at Ning Yan, his eyes were both surprised and happy, as if he could spew fire.

"The queen mother said that you are arrogant and forgetful, but I still don't believe it. I feel that you are so scheming that you even lied to the queen mother." Ning Zheng laughed and said: "Now it seems that it is true, and you are so good at fighting on the front line. It's a joke, you deserve to hand over the victory to me!"

"Today, the king will behead you in front of the formation, and will also end the ownership of the world!"

After Ning Zheng finished speaking, he raised his hand and said loudly, "Let's fight—"

Ning Huaijin pulled the reins hard, and turned around to go to Ning Yan.

"His Majesty--"

Ning Huaijin originally wanted to tell him to retreat, but Ning Yan did not retreat but advanced instead, he pulled out his sword, pointed at Feng Yuan beside Ning Zheng and said to Ning Huaijin, "Uncle Emperor, last time I told him to run away in Jiuhua Mountain Now, let's see how I avenge you this time."

It was too late for Ning Huaijin to stop it. When the battle broke out, the surroundings became a mess, and the soldiers of the two armies fought together in just half a stick of incense.

There are murderous intentions everywhere in the war, and once a fight breaks out, no one can save the other, so Ning Huaijin had to cheer up to deal with it.

Ning Huaijin was already quite far away from Ning Yan, but at this moment it was even closer, and she could not move forward any further.

In the melee, she couldn't draw a bow, and the sword was good at stabbing but not good at slashing. It was not as sensitive as a knife in a chaotic army. Ning Huaijin took a quick look and felt that Ning Yan's army was in a dilemma, and it was quite difficult to deal with it. .

But Ning Zheng didn't care about Ning Huaijin since he saw Ning Yan. beyond reach.

Ning Huaijin was so anxious that she didn't care about her side when she was busy with two things, and she got two scratches in a flash.

Xie Jue was obviously also caught off guard by this turn of events, and hastily turned his horse's head, also wanting to follow Ning Yan, but he was stopped by Ning Zheng's infantry in the middle of the journey.

Ning Yan didn't know if he was too aggressive when he first came to the battlefield, or if he really responded to the phrase "revenge", instead of refusing to retreat, he rushed into the opponent's encirclement instead.

For safety's sake, Ning Zheng was at the rear of the line, while Feng Yuan was right in front. Ning Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he didn't care about the dangers around him at all, and simply raised his sword at him.

Feng Yuan subconsciously swung the bow, drew a heavy arrow and put it on the bowstring, without aiming, he pulled it hastily and let go of his hand.

The heavy arrow was extremely powerful, whizzing past with the sound of breaking the wind, Ning Yan raised his sword and landed, and the moment the heavy arrow pierced into the wrist bone, he thrust the long sword in Feng Yuan's chest fiercely.

The heavy arrow pierced through the flesh and blood, and pierced the wrist bone of Ning Yan's right hand with a shattering force. Ning Yan's eyes went dark from the pain, and the long sword fell out of his hand immediately.

Ning Huaijin looked at it not far away, and couldn't care less about what was around her, so she pulled the reins and wanted to go to Ning Yan's side.

Ning Yan's eyes turned black from the pain, but he also gritted his teeth and looked back at Ning Huaijin, gritted his teeth and gestured "back" to him with his blood-stained right hand.

"Ning Yan—" Ning Huaijin was startled and angry, and shouted loudly, "How dare you!""

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yan let go of the rein and rolled off the horse following the direction of the arrow.
