Among the five tiger generals of Nanliang, Longye ranks first.
Even Long Ye couldn't beat the Empress, how could he, Murong Xiao He De, dare to challenge the Empress in a duel.
When he saw the empress, Murong Xiao knew that he had fallen into a trap.
"Try the freshly brewed tea."
The empress picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Murong Xiao forced a smile, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and quickly put the teacup down.
"Linjiang City is my hometown in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is wrong for Shangguan Wei to send troops to invade. It is even more wrong for you to lead troops to occupy Diaoyu City."
The empress spoke slowly, with a smile on her face.
Murong Xiao immediately stood up and bowed: "The general is guilty, the general should leave now!"
After saying that, Murong Xiao turned around and ran away.
call
A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and the empress stood at the door, blocking the way.
"When you come, stay."
The empress smiled faintly, and Murong Xiao tightly held the sword at his waist. He wanted to fight, but he did not dare to do it.
"The Empress forgives me for not knowing that the Empress is in the city. I ask the Empress to show her kindness."
Murong Xiao was frightened and just begged the empress to let him go.
Tao Zhigang and a group of soldiers had long heard that the empress had a high level of cultivation, and today they finally realized it.
The empress was still sitting in the main hall just now, but suddenly she flashed outside the door, and they didn't even see her clearly.
Tao Zhigang felt that his calves were shaking and his hands were a little unruly.
"You invaded my city and killed my soldiers and civilians. Are you saying you are being noble?"
The empress' face suddenly turned cold. Murong Xiao knew that he was doomed, so he simply gave it a try.
choke!
The sword was unsheathed and Murong Xiao attacked the empress with all his strength. Tao Zhigang shouted and followed after him with the sword in hand.
The empress sneered, pulled out the hairpin from her head, and passed through the crowd like a ghost.
呲
Murong Xiao's throat was slit, blood splattered everywhere, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
Tao Zhigang and his soldiers looked blankly at the bodies on the ground, wondering if they should avenge Murong Xiao.
A group of female soldiers rushed out from both sides, pointed their spears at Tao Zhigang, and shouted: "Surrender and avoid death!"
Bang!
The knife in Tao Zhigang's hand fell to the ground and he slowly knelt down on his knees.
Outside the city, Murong Xiao's army was advancing.
Looking at the Nanliang military flag erected on Diaoyu City, the soldiers rushed in one after another.
Half of the army entered the city, and half was still outside the city.
At this time, soldiers from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty suddenly appeared on the city walls and outside the city, shooting random arrows, and the Nanliang army was in chaos.
A melee suddenly broke out inside and outside the city. The army didn't know what was going on. They had clearly occupied Diaoyu City, so why would there be an attack?
Many female soldiers fell at the city gate, all wearing fine armor and holding sharp swords. They quickly recaptured the city gate and closed it.
The Nanliang army was divided into two, and they were fighting inside and outside the city.
"Murong Xiao is dead, yet he still won't surrender!"
On the east gate tower, Wu Jian was holding Murong Xiao's head, and behind him stood Tao Zhigang and his soldiers, all with sharp knives on their necks.
When the Nanliang army looked up, they saw Murong Xiao's bloody head and the controlled Tao Zhigang.
"What's going on? General Murong is dead?"
"Didn't we occupy Diaoyu City? Why is this happening?"
"Are we ambushed? We are being plotted!"
Upon seeing Murong Xiao's head, the Nanliang army immediately became confused.
Wu Jian shouted: "Surrender will avoid death, but those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
The female soldiers wearing fine armor are very fierce. They hold a kind of feather-like knife. When they swing and chop, they make a sound similar to the cry of a phoenix. Corpses are everywhere wherever they go. Although the Nanliang army has a large number of people, they are already dead.
They lost morale and surrendered one after another.
When they saw the head, the Nanliang troops outside the city also began to break up. They fled eastward one after another, scrambling to climb onto the building boats, preparing to evacuate to the south bank and return to Caishi City.
"General, won't you pursue me?"
A female general asked.
There were more than 50 ships docked by the river, and Yingfeng burned more than 40 of them, deliberately leaving a few good ones behind. The soldiers of Nanliang tried their best to climb up, even to the point of killing each other.
Yingfeng shook his head and said: "No, let them climb up and make people anxious. Be careful that they fight to the death. These are the elites of Nanliang."
Yingfeng took advantage of the ambush this time, and Murong Xiao was killed, which shook the morale of the Nanliang army.
The number of troops she brought this time was only 3,000. There was a huge difference in numbers. Once the opponent fought to the death, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.
Some soldiers climbed onto the building boats, but many fell into the river and drowned. The building boats hurriedly weighed anchor and took advantage of the wind to leave.
Those who were still on the shore and had not had time to get on the boat were yelling curses.
Yingfeng rode over and shouted: "You have all been abandoned, why don't you surrender!"
The soldiers who were left behind were so angry that they dropped their weapons and surrendered.
When the building boat floated to the middle of the river, black smoke suddenly came out, and the kerosene bombs hidden in the building boat began to burn. The soldiers on the boat were either burned to death or thrown into the river.
When the soldiers on the shore saw the building boat on fire, some actually gloated about the misfortune.
"We deserve it, we won't be allowed to get on the boat."
"I saved my life if I didn't get on the boat."
Yingfeng shook his head and sneered, and escorted all the prisoners back to the city.
Once inside the city, all the prisoners were imprisoned together, with female soldiers guarding them outside.
Yingfeng and Wu Jian entered the general's mansion, where the empress was drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, everything inside and outside the city has been cleared. Nearly 10,000 enemies were killed and more than 30,000 were captured. Some of them died on the ship."
Yingfeng reported the results of the battle.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Go across the river and see how Luo Xi is doing."
Yingfeng received the order and immediately took people across the river by boat.
Wu Jian is still waiting for orders in the hall.
The empress said: "Do you hold any position in the Long Family Army?"
Wu Jian was stunned for a moment, not expecting the empress to ask this.
"The brave cavalry captain leads 3,000 cavalry."
Wu Jian didn't hide anything. Since the empress asked this, she must have known his background.
"You have made a great contribution this time. I will appoint you as the captain of the cavalry school. You will no longer need to be in the cleansing room."
The empress said calmly.
Wu Jian bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The empress nodded, and Wu Jian exited the main hall.
Yingfeng arrived at the dock on the shore, boarded a speedboat, pulled up the sail, and with the help of the wind, it floated towards Linjiang City like an arrow.
Thick black smoke and fierce sounds of fighting came from the city, and Yingfeng frowned.
This was a brutal fight, and both sides had to pay a price, but in the end, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty won the war.
When the clipper arrived at the north, the soldiers on the city drew their bowstrings, pointed at Yingfeng and shouted: "Who is coming!"
The clipper Yingfeng was riding had the flag of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but there was a war going on in Linjiang City, so they did not dare to be careless.
Yingfeng threw a rope out of his hand and hooked it to the top of the city. Then he jumped and flew up the city wall.
"Send your name!"
The soldiers were startled and drew their swords to surround Yingfeng.
Yingfeng said coldly: "Zhongshu Minister Yingfeng."
The soldiers had heard of Yingfeng's name, but they had never seen him in person. It wouldn't matter if they let him go, or if he didn't.
Yingfeng didn't hesitate, found a horse and rushed towards the south gate.
When they arrived at the south gate, Di Luoxi and four others were still besieging Shangguan Wei.
Li Xiannan was hit in the shoulder by a halberd and his shoulder was split open. Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were also injured. Di Luoxi was better.
Shangguan Wei struggled to hold on, waiting for news from Diaoyu City.
Yingfeng rode up to him and shouted: "Murong Xiao is dead, yet he still doesn't surrender!"
This loud shout made everyone stop.
Shangguan Wei stood on the ground with the big halberd in his hand, with his legs spread apart, trying to stabilize his body as much as possible.
Di Luoxi was panting, and her hands had lost all feeling.
Li Xiannan leaned against the wall and took a look at his injuries.
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were already exhausted and could only hold on with one breath.
A veteran is a veteran, and four people attacked him and fought so hard.
Shangguan Wei stared at Yingfeng, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
The appearance of Yingfeng here means that the empress has also arrived.
