"If there is no accident? This matter is originally a conspiracy. If there is no accident, I'm afraid it will be difficult..." Yuchi Pingting said, she could vaguely guess who was behind the scenes. If that person did something in the court,
, then the entire Yong'an Pass may not be able to withstand the arrival of reinforcements.
Nangong Feiran seemed to have thought of this, and immediately said: "I will write a letter to my father immediately to let him know the urgency of the matter and to urge the emperor to send troops immediately."
Yuchi Pingting's expression changed drastically when she heard this, but she immediately regained her composure and said calmly: "I don't think Prince Hui should be allowed to report this matter. It would be best for someone who is not related to you to advise the emperor."
." Yuchi Pingting planned to hide the fact that Prince Hui was dead from Nangong Feiran first. Now he had to concentrate on the matter in front of him and didn't want other things to distract him, so he said this.
Nangong Feiran didn't think much about it. He just felt that what Yuchi Pingting said was reasonable. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter to the Eighth Prince to explain the situation."
"Then I'll go prepare it first. You can rest assured that I will deliver the letter." Yi Xiaoyao volunteered.
"I can't rest assured that Yi Jian Xiaoyao will go away. If you see the Eighth Prince, ask him to find a way to get the Emperor to send troops immediately. Tell him that I can last for ten days at most." Nangong Feiran smiled and walked to the case.
Start writing a letter.
Yuchi Pingting turned to Jin Dacheng and asked: "General Jin, how long can the food and grass in the city last?"
"This... only lasts about twelve days." Jin Dacheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. Now that the Liao Army's 100,000 troops were approaching the city, he really couldn't calm down.
Yuchi Pingting frowned. She didn't expect the situation to be so bad and urgent. There was only twelve days of food and grass. She didn't know if it could be postponed to twelve days smoothly. She didn't think the Liao army would just wait outside the city for more than ten days.
Wait until your reinforcements arrive before starting the battle.
Yuchi Pingting originally wanted Feng Qingyu to take Mo Mo back to Luoyang, but both of them refused to leave, and Yuchi Pingting was moved by their words. So Yuchi Pingting asked Feng Qingyu to take Mo Mo there.
The city calmed people's hearts and prevented them from easily going up to the tower.
"Your Majesty, you see that the Liao army has already set up their formation, do you think they will attack that city gate first?" Jin Dacheng asked.
Nangong Feiran walked up to the city tower, carefully looked at the formation of the Liao army, and then said: "I am not afraid of Hua Shaorong who attacks first, I am afraid that he will attack with his 100,000 troops.
If you attack five city gates at the same time, there will be danger." Nangong Feiran said and suddenly said to Jin Dacheng in a cold voice: "Call the five guards over now, I have important things to tell them."
Jin Dacheng quickly went to call him personally, while Nangong Feiran turned around and whispered something to Jin Dacheng's adjutant Gao Jin.
"Sir, this...isn't this good?" Gao Jin panicked after hearing Nangong Feiran's order.
"Gao Jin, you still can't see clearly the current form!" Nangong Feiran shouted, this Gao Jin, Nangong Feiran had a relationship with him once, Gao Jin also admired this God of War, but now he heard his
The order was a little suspicious of the person in front of him. However, he did not dare to disobey Nangong Feiran's order, so he immediately called a few people and walked out depressedly.
Yuchi Pingting was also very curious about Nangong Feiran's move. She didn't know what he said to make Gao Jin, who had admired him so much before, look like that. She also didn't know how he planned to deal with this 100,000-strong army.
After a while, Jin Dacheng came in with the other four guards. Their faces were heavy. They were not sure about this battle, and in their opinion, there was a huge disparity in strength, and the outcome was obvious.
"Generals." Nangong Feiran cleared his throat and said loudly: "You already know the situation outside the city very well, so I won't say more. I won't lie to you. It's a lie to say that reinforcements will arrive soon, but
Not only did I jointly submit a letter with General Jin, but I also personally wrote to the prince of the DPRK. Reinforcements will definitely come, so my request is not high. I just need you to grit your teeth and hold on for fifteen days. Can you do it?"
Yuchi Pingting listened to Nangong Feiran's arrangement and heard that he had told Yi Xiaoyao that he could only guard the eighth prince for ten days, but now he asked these guards to guard for fifteen days. She felt that he had really good intentions.
Guard generals, you look at me, I see you don’t know how to answer, but you are muttering in your heart, how can such a broken city be defended, the opponent has an army of 100,000, let alone fifteen days, I’m afraid
Even five days is difficult.
Nangong Feiran saw that everyone looked embarrassed and no one answered, so he said again: "I have seen the skills of several of you guards. I believe that as long as you defend with all your life, there will be no city gate that you can't stand." Nangong Feiran said.
As he spoke, his face suddenly became ruthless, and his voice became even colder: "I will establish a military law now. No matter which city gate the Liao army attacks, the soldiers who go out to fight will immediately close the door as soon as they come out. If you want to come in, there are only two requirements.
The first is to repel the enemy, and the second is that you are still alive. Do you all understand what I said? Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy." Nangong Feiran's voice was not loud, but it was cold and scary.
Several of the guards were aggrieved. They knew that the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. If we left the gate, we would die, but they refused to open the door. Isn't it clear that we were facing death?
But Nangong Feiran didn't seem to be finished yet. He smiled slyly and gestured to Gao Jin, who had just walked in. Gao Jin nodded and told his soldiers to bring in a dozen people, all old, young, women and children.
Suddenly, the expressions of the five guards standing among them suddenly changed. It turned out that Gao Jin had been ordered by Feng Nangong Fei Ranzhi to bring the family members of these guards.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Jin Dacheng asked quickly.
"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that with the war going on, the generals have to devote themselves to their respective posts and may not have time to take care of their families. Then I, Nangong Feiran, can take care of me. All you have to do is give me
Just hold on to the pass, and in fifteen days, I will send all your family members back to your house." Nangong Feiran said, as if fire was spitting out of his eyes.
Several guards dared not speak out, and Yuchi Pingting also saw that Nangong Feiran was threatening their family members and asking them to guard the pass with their lives. Of course, those guards understood what Nangong Feiran meant.
I was still skeptical about guarding the border, but now I just want to fight to the death for fifteen days.
"Your Majesty... what if... what if reinforcements have not arrived in fifteen days?" a guard general asked boldly.
"Then you take your family and run away, and I, Nangong Feiran, will marry you off!" Nangong Feiran said firmly.
Yuchi Pingting looked at Nangong Feiran's serious look and felt that he seemed to exude a charming aura, a kind of kingly dignity.
Then Nangong Feiran asked the guards to return to their respective posts and asked Gao Jin to settle the families of the soldiers and then went up to the tower to observe the situation of the Liao army.
"When do you think they will launch an attack?" Yuchi Pingting walked to Nangong Feiran and asked.
"Hua Shaorong is suspicious by nature. He is standing still today. He probably just wants to pry into the reality." Nangong Feiran looked at the hazy sky, and then said: "If this weather continues, it will be beneficial to us, but I think Hua Shaorong
Rong will attack at night."
"Then you go and rest for a while." Yuchi Pingting said with some distress. Since arriving at Yong'an Pass that day, except for a short break when Feng Qingyu treated his wounds, he has been busy comforting the soldiers.
Observing the battlefield and formulating strategies... Considering that it was just noon now, he might as well let Nangong Feiran take a rest. He would definitely not be able to sleep at night.
Nangong Feiran smiled strangely and said that it was not the time to rest yet. He asked Gao to go in and lead his horse, and then he went to change his armor.
When Yuchi Pingting saw this, she knew that he was going to fight, so she didn't stop him. She just stepped forward to help him put on his armor.
Nangong Feiran felt more grateful in his heart. He didn't know how many women tried to dissuade their men before they went to the battlefield, but Yuchi Pingting didn't say anything and just quietly helped her put on her armor.
He felt that Yuchi Pingting was like a confidante who he had known for a long time. Nangong Feiran took back his wandering thoughts in time and said softly to Yuchi Pingting: "Do you remember what I just said? Wait for me.
After leaving the city, I will order the city gate to be closed. Unless I repel the enemy, the door will not be opened." Nangong Feiran's tone was extremely firm and unquestionable.
"I would have done it if you didn't tell me." Yuchi Pingting said nonchalantly, but she didn't seem to think so in her heart.
After Nangong Feiran got dressed, he ordered three thousand cavalry and went to the Quanmen in the north. He told Zhang De, the guard guarding the Quanmen, to close the door immediately after he left the city. Then he turned around and looked at Yuchi Pingting affectionately before he nodded.
He led a group of soldiers to charge out without looking back.
Yuchi Pingting kept saying in her heart, "You must come back safely", and then rushed to the top of the city to see.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Why is this necessary?" Jin Dacheng was very puzzled. In his opinion, Nangong Feiran was just going to die.
Jin Dacheng didn't understand, but Yuchi Pingting understood what Nangong Feiran meant.
As Nangong Feiran said, Hua Shaorong is experienced, calm and suspicious. He will attack Nangong Feiran when he sees him sending troops, but he will definitely not pursue him. Therefore, Yuchi Pingting guessed that Nangong Feiran's move was just to bring a small surprise to the Liao army.
The small commotion also boosted the morale of our own troops, so he will not be reluctant to fight and will definitely return soon. Of course, if Yuchi Pingting wants to expect Nangong Feiran to return safely, the premise is that Hua Shaorong does not pursue him. Once Hua Shaorong sends troops to pursue him,
, Nangong Feiran has only one way to die, Nangong Feiran is really gambling with his life...
Yuchi Pingting stood on the city tower and saw the three thousand cavalry led by Nangong Feiran attacking the flanks of the Liao army like tigers descending the mountain. None of the Liao army expected that so many cavalry would suddenly rush out of Yong'an Pass.
The cavalry was inherently very mobile, and the distance between the two sides was only thirty feet. The Liao soldiers who were sitting on the ground waiting for orders were missing their heads before they could even react.
The generals at every gate on the city tower could see clearly. They couldn't help but secretly admire Nangong Feiran's courage and courage, but they were all sweating for him in their hearts. But ordinary soldiers, seeing this myth on the battlefield, did not care about their own safety.
The soldiers rushed out first, and their morale was suddenly boosted. With this general, they would defend Yong'an Pass even if they risked their lives.
Yuchi Pingting saw the expressions on the faces of the soldiers. They were all full of anger and gearing up, knowing that Nangong Feiran's goal had been achieved.
In the Liao army, General Hua Shaorong was planning how to deploy with the counselors around him. He never expected that the people in Yong'an Pass would dare to come out. However, when he saw those cavalry overwhelming his right wing, he suddenly felt terrible.
Shocked, he hurriedly ordered several generals to lead people to deal with it.
Hua Shaorong had earlier heard from Yuchi Changxun that the guard of Yong'an Pass was also a member of the Eleventh Prince, and that this person had no great ambitions and was easy to deal with. That's why Hua Shaorong dared to order the army to stay thirty feet away from Yong'an Pass.
The purpose of stationing was to use the momentum of the army to intimidate the defenders of Yong'an Pass and prevent them from leaving the city to surrender on their own, and to capture Yong'an Pass in groups without spending a single soldier.
He made countless assumptions, but no matter which one he imagined, he could not imagine that anyone would dare to come out of Yong'an Pass. Looking at it, the right wing, which had been scattered by Nangong Feiran's cavalry, finally reacted and began to attack under the command of the general.
Fight back.
But although they had reacted, Nangong Feiran had no intention of fighting. He knew that soldiers are very fast, and he just wanted to use this unexpected blow to give the Liao army a disincentive. But he also knew that his blow was extremely powerful.
It may cost him his own life and the lives of the three thousand soldiers around him, but he can't control so much now. As a soldier, he must sacrifice thousands of small egos to achieve the greater self.
Nangong Feiran discovered that the enemy had begun to counterattack, so he summoned his troops to turn their horses and run back.
At this time, the counselors around Hua Shaorong suggested that Hua Shaorong use a large army to intercept, but Hua Shaorong refused after pondering for a while. He just watched Ding Chong, the vanguard on the right wing, chase after him, and did not order others to chase. He wanted to
Use Ding Chong to explore the reality.
Hua Shaorong no longer believes what Yuchi Changxun said. Yuchi Changxun said that there are no fierce generals in Yong'an Pass, but in his opinion, the man who led the cavalry on the rampage is a fierce general. Yuchi Changxun also said that there are only a few strong soldiers stationed in Yong'an Pass.
There are more than 20,000 people, but he no longer believes it. He is afraid of an ambush. Maybe this group of cavalry is just a cover, a bait, destroying his formation with lightning speed, and then he can easily send troops to catch up.
, once caught in an ambush, he would suffer heavy losses, and he would not fight an uncertain battle. This was Hua Shaorong's consistent style.
Ding Chong, the vanguard on the right wing, pursued Nangong Feiran closely, because Nangong Feiran had previously given orders not to allow anyone to open the door if there were pursuers, so he had to circle outside the pass.
Seeing this, Hua Shaorong became even more suspicious. He didn't believe that the people in Yong'an Pass would easily give up on this powerful general, so he refused to open the door. Therefore, he became even more convinced that there must be an ambush. There might be tens of thousands of people in the Pass, just waiting.
When he gave the order, the Liao troops rushed forward and poured out from all directions.
But Yuchi Pingting, who was standing on the city tower, was on fire. Seeing that the small commotion in the Liao army had gradually calmed down, the city gate could not be opened due to the pursuers behind it, and Jin Dacheng could not stand it anymore.
He said anxiously to Yuchi Pingting: "Princess, there are still few pursuing troops, why don't I send a team of troops to meet the Crown Prince?"
"Absolutely not." Yuchi Pingting said firmly.
"But Princess, if this continues, the crown prince will be in great danger." Jin Dacheng said worriedly.
Yuchi Pingting didn't know that it was more dangerous than good, but she knew that the city gate was not allowed to be opened. This was a rule set by Nangong Feiran himself. If he opened it like this, even if he came back alive, his face would be tarnished, so for
Jin Dacheng's request was not granted.
Zhui Feng under Nangong Feiran's crotch seemed to be in tune with his master, and he took Ding Chong around as much as possible, while the soldiers he brought out fought with the vanguard officer Ding Chong's men. Nangong Feiran thought, well, even if he died here, as soon as he came
He could set an example for the soldiers in the city, and secondly, his wish to die on the battlefield would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Nangong Feiran suddenly turned the horse's head, drew out the sword from his waist, and rushed towards Ding, who was rushing towards him. Ding Chong only thought that Nangong Feiran was running away, but he did not expect that he would suddenly turn around and draw his sword to stab him.
He came and quickly raised the halberd in his hand to block it. Although he blocked the sword, the tiger's mouth was sore from the shock, and the halberd seemed to be broken.
Ding Feng was shocked. He didn't know who he was fighting with, but he was so brave. In the moment of hesitation, Nangong Feiran's second sword came again. Before Ding Chong could react, the head on his neck had already fallen to the ground.
Suddenly, the soldiers and guards at Yong'an Gate burst into cheers and cheers.
Hua Shaorong was shocked. He knew Ding Chong's bravery, but he didn't expect that he could not survive three moves under this man. He was now filled with hatred and anger, demanding that he go to fight.
The right-wing and left-wing vanguard came in response, waving two steel knives in their hands and rushed towards Nangong Feiran. Nangong Feiran still rode steadily on the horse without moving. He looked at the person rushing towards him with a sneer and said softly, "You don't overestimate your capabilities."
"Then he used the long sword in his hand to pick up Ding Chong's painted halberd on the ground, then hooked the painted halberd to draw a circle in mid-air and threw it in the direction of the incoming person.
When the man saw the painted halberd thrown by Nangong Feiran at him, he quickly raised his knife to block it. However, he was still a little slow. When the steel knife was raised to his chest, the painted halberd had already deeply penetrated his chest.
Hua Shaorong signaled to the lieutenant beside him with a dark face. The lieutenant ordered his horse to gallop towards him. The envoy also came with a long sword. Not only did Nangong Feiran not leave, but he also rushed towards this person with his horse.
The two swords intersected, causing sparks to fly. Nangong Feiran's sword moved like a dragon, and within three moves, Hua Shaorong's lieutenant was knocked to the ground.
Hua Shaorong was ashamed and annoyed when he saw this. He took off the bow from behind, picked up a flower feather arrow, and aimed at Nangong Feiran.
Nangong Feiran was concentrating on fighting with the deputy general, so how could he notice Hua Shaorong's actions? However, Hua Shaorong's actions could not escape the eyes of Yuchi Pingting who was watching from the tower.
Yuchi Pingting screamed secretly, knowing that Hua Shaorong was going to use a dirty trick, so she quickly took the bow and arrow from an archer on the side and aimed at Hua Shaorong.
Soon after, Hua Shaorong's arrow had just left the string, and Yuchi Pingting also released the arrow that collapsed on the string. The two sharp arrows collided hard together, and then bounced back respectively. Hua Shaorong
Rong saw his arrow bounced back and hurriedly drew out his sword to block it, while another arrow also fell heavily to the ground.
Hua Shaorong looked towards the tower and saw a graceful woman exuding the aura of an infinite venerable, waving the bow in her hand, as if in provocation.
Hua Shaorong was angry. Yuchi Changxun had never told him that there was such a famous person in Yong'an Pass. When he looked towards the open space again, Nangong Feiran had thrust his sword into the deputy general's chest. Hua Shaorong was filled with hatred.
, in this short effort, he lost three generals.
The other deputy general saw this and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Hua Shaorong. He didn't want to engage in such a fight. What he wanted was the city. What he brought was a hundred thousand troops, not a few fierce generals.
Nangong Feiran saw that no one dared to come out to fight, and the soldiers he had brought out had already been killed by Ding Chong's men, leaving nothing behind and gathered at the foot of the pass waiting to enter the city.
Seeing that there were no more pursuers, Nangong Feiran swaggered to the city gate and signaled the guard to open the door.
Jin Dacheng hurriedly asked people to open the door, and at the same time asked the archers to release arrows to cover.
Gao Jin rushed up to take the horse's reins from Nangong Feiran's hand and the helmet he had just taken off. In his heart, he admired this prince greatly.
Nangong Feiran saw that the three thousand people he had brought out had not suffered much loss. At least two thousand sixty-seven came back with him. Although most of them failed, they all felt very glorious.
"Your Majesty, you are truly worthy of being the God of War." Jin Dacheng quickly brought a bowl of tea and said: "Those Liao troops, one hundred thousand strong, no one dared to come out to challenge. Your Majesty, you are really the reincarnation of Guan Yunchang...
"Jin Dacheng was full of praise.
"General Jin, don't you need to guard your gate?" Nangong Feiran said impatiently.
Jin Dacheng walked away embarrassed after hearing Nangong Feiran's words, but he still admired Nangong Feiran highly in his heart.
Nangong Feiran took a sip of the tea handed to him by Jin Dacheng. He looked up and saw Yuchi Pingting standing at the corner of the tower and smiling at him. He suddenly felt happy and satisfied.
"Thank you for your kindness. You blocked Hua Shaorong's arrow for me and allowed me to come back from the gate of hell again." Nangong Feiran said matter-of-factly.
"Just keep it in your mind and pay it back to me slowly in the future." Yuchi Pingting said easily. Then she slowly said, "You can go and rest now."
"Yeah, that's right. I'm going to take a rest. Wake me up immediately if there is any movement." Nangong Feiran said and walked into the back hall. He is not the kind of pedantic and rigid person. He knows that many generals will wake up at this juncture.
He would righteously say that if the soldiers did not rest, how could he rest? That was true, but he understood better that in the face of this war, the commander relied on his brain. He must have a clear and calm mind to command and win a war.
War, and if he wanted to stay awake, he had to have the necessary rest, so he did not refuse at all. The reason why he did not refuse was because he knew that after his little commotion, the Liao army would not have anything for a while.
Action.
The result was just as he expected. Not only did the Liao army make no offensive move, but they even broke camp and retreated thirty feet. Hua Shaorong did not want this to happen again. A team of several thousand people could attack his right wing.
The chickens and dogs were restless, and he even killed three of his generals. Who was that person, and the woman at the top of the city? He must find out who he was.
