The messenger was silent for a moment and then said, "Sir, I'm afraid that if these words are spread among my subordinates, it will be difficult to calm people's hearts."
When Yun Shang heard this, she moved her fingers slightly. She was afraid that she had been disturbed by the news about Prince Jing. She had not even considered the things that a messenger could think of. I was afraid that this plan was also Liu Yinfeng's.
The plan was specifically aimed at him. As soon as such rumors came out, he must have thought that he was the only one who could stabilize the morale of the army, because she was not only Princess Jing, but also Princess Ningguo.
Liu Yinfeng wanted to hold him back from leading troops to rescue Prince Jing. Now that the other generals had dispersed, he had no one available at all...
"Qianyin." Yun Shang turned to look at Qianyin, "You lead the troops..." Before she could finish her words, Yun Shang stopped again, not to mention that Qianyin was just a maid and could not be summoned at all.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, Liu Yinfeng was good at using formations, but Qianyin knew nothing about formations. If he mistakenly fell into Liu Yinfeng's killing formation, he would be dead.
"Princess..." Qianyin looked at Yun Shang with a bit of confusion in her eyes.
That's all, Yun Shang gritted his teeth, got on his horse, turned the horse's head, and said in a loud voice, "All soldiers rest and wait here, I will be back soon." After saying that, he rode his horse down the mountain.
In the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, a large group of soldiers stood in a stalemate.
"The enemy is going to use this method to confuse the soldiers. If you act like this, wouldn't you fall into the trap?" Wang Chong was a little worried.
The lieutenant general nodded, "But, general, that rumor has indeed shaken the morale of the Xia army. Thousands of people in the Xia army are shouting everywhere that Prince Jing is the eldest prince of the Xia Kingdom. If this is true, then wouldn't our...work be in vain?
Yet?"
"I'm confused, how could Prince Jing be the prince of Xia Kingdom?" Wang Chong paced back and forth on the spot.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and Wang Chong stood up quickly, "The whole army is on alert."
People sitting or standing in groups behind them all stood up, took out their spears and looked towards the place where the sound came from. They saw a man and a horse riding out of the forest. They were brown horses. The people on the horses were wearing crescent-white clothes.
, wearing a white cloak, with a charming face.
"It's your lord!" Wang Chong hurriedly greeted him in three or two steps, feeling as if a stone had fallen to the ground in his heart. Since the lord is here, there must be something he can do.
Yun Shang waved her hand towards Wang Chong, rode her horse to the middle of the team and said, "Do you know who I am?"
The soldiers didn't know why Yun Shang asked, and looked at each other. After a while, someone whispered, "It's the supervisor."
Yun Shang nodded, with a faint smile on his face, but his voice suddenly became louder, with a hint of feminine softness, "It's just that I am not only the Supervisor of the Army, but I also have other identities.
Prince Jing’s princess is Princess Huiguo of Ningguo!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the discussion suddenly started, which seemed a bit noisy.
Yun Shang just put away her smile and raised her voice a little higher, "Many people know that I am Lord Supervisor of the Army, but they don't know that I am still Princess Jing or Princess Huiguo. Many people have asked me, I am a
Women, why do you appear on this dangerous battlefield? Then let me ask you, why do you appear on this battlefield when you could have been living your own small lives?"
"Why are we attacking the enemy?" "To expel the Xia army from Ningguo." "To protect our family and country."...
There are various answers.
Yun Shang smiled again, "My answer is the same as yours. The Xia Kingdom is our enemy, at least for now. They have invaded our land. If we don't come to this battlefield, maybe one day our home will be destroyed."
We will be invaded by the Xia soldiers, and our family will be insulted by the Xia army. I am the princess of Huiguo. When I was eight years old, there was a severe drought in Ningguo. I prayed for the people and asked for the rain. For this reason, I later
I was punished by God in seven or eight years, and I have been lingering on my sickbed. Now, despite the advice of others, I gave up my comfortable life in the imperial city and came to the border. Like you, I wanted to protect my family and country, and to expel the Xia army from the country. I
My husband is Prince Jing, whom you regard as the God of War. He has been guarding a pure land for the people at the border all these years. You should know the dangers on the battlefield better than anyone else. He has risked his life and death for you. Isn’t he worth it?
A rumor to sow discord?"
Yun Shang's gaze faintly swept over the soldiers who lowered their heads, and his eyes gradually became colder, "Since I am the princess of Ning State, my life naturally belongs to Ning State. If Ning State destroys me, I will perish. Today, I want to ask you a question.
, the Xia army invaded our land and killed our people, should we fight?"
"It's time! It's time! It's time!" Three loud shouts rang out in unison.
Yun Shang nodded and said, "Since everyone thinks it's time to fight, we should not let the enemy try to alienate us and win this battle properly. Xia Jun's slander of our God of War is unforgivable! If
Who in the army is spreading rumors, the warlords will deal with it! Do you have any opinions?"
"No!"
Yun Shang nodded, turned to look at Wang Chong, "General Wang, I leave everything to you."
After saying that, Yun Shang turned around and walked towards the other groups of troops. He said some encouraging words in the same way. Almost an hour and a half had passed. Yun Shang felt that his voice was already a little hoarse, but he felt a little hoarse in his heart.
He was extremely anxious. For an hour and a half, Prince Jing didn't know what to do.
After hurriedly returning to the cave, Qianyin came up to greet her, "Princess, the secret guard heard the sound of fighting deep in the mountain."
Yun Shang frowned, not even taking a sip of water, and quickly led the army towards the depths of Yunjin Mountain.
Following the marks left by the secret guards, he walked all the way. There were corpses all along the way, including Xia Jun and Ning Jun. Yun Shang had no intention of distinguishing which side had more dead people, and only asked the soldiers behind him to speed up their pace.
The further they walked into the mountains, the colder they felt. Yun Shang closed her cloak and frowned a little. She had been traveling for nearly an hour, and she only saw corpses along the way, but she didn't even hear the sound of fighting.
"Princess!" Yun Shang heard Qianyin's voice coming from the front. She was leading hundreds of people to explore the road. Yun Shang looked at her pale face and her heart tightened suddenly, "Why?
Already?"
"Princess, this servant saw... the body of a secret guard beside the prince." Qianyin said softly.
Yun Shang secretly clenched her fists. She couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. Fortunately, it was not Luo Qingyan's body. However, the secret guards around King Jing were well hidden and rarely appeared. If they did, it must be because
Prince Jing is in danger. The secret guard is dead... This means that not only is Prince Jing in danger, but his life is also in danger.
"Keep moving forward!" Yun Shang said loudly, then rode out of the team and walked towards the front of the team. No matter what, she wanted to be the first to see Prince Jing, whether alive... or dead...
…
The number of corpses gradually decreased, but Yun Shang's heart did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, it became increasingly heavy. I was afraid that there were not many people around Prince Jing anymore.
After walking forward for about a quarter of an hour, she heard a faint sound. Yun Chang quickly turned her head and asked, "Qianyin, did you hear that? Did you hear the sound of fighting?"
Qianyin listened for a moment, but all she could hear was the sound of the armor scraping as the soldiers behind her walked. She shook her head, "I never heard that."
Yun Shang did not give up, and walked forward for a while, and the sound of fighting gradually became louder.
"Princess, I heard it, I heard it." Qianyin said loudly.
Yun Shang nodded, unable to contain the excitement in her heart, she raised her whip and walked forward faster.
"Princess, wait for the army." Qianyin's voice came from behind, but Yun Chang could no longer hear it.
The sound of fighting gradually became clearer, and it seemed that it was not far ahead. There were many grass and trees in the mountains. Even though the sound was close in front of you, you still couldn't see it. After walking for a while, a figure suddenly flew out from behind the grass on the side.
Shang hurriedly avoided it, walked around the bushes, and saw many people fighting in front of him.
Yun Shang took out a dagger, stepped forward and killed the Xia soldier closest to him, then raised his head and asked the Ning soldier who was facing the Xia soldier, "Where is Prince Jing?"
The Ningguo soldier's face was covered with blood, and his eyes were red with blood. He was about to stab Yun Shang with his gun, but suddenly he was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"
"The reinforcements have arrived. Take me to find Prince Jing quickly." Yun Shang said in a loud voice.
The soldier was a little startled, but didn't seem to believe it. He ran behind Yun Shang to take a look, but did not see the shadow of the reinforcements. He just faintly heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps. He felt happy and quickly turned around and laughed.
Said, "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, we survived!"
There was a cheer, and Yun Shang hurriedly grabbed the soldier and asked again, "Where is Prince Jing?"
Only then did the soldier react and said quickly, "Prince Jing has gone inside, and Xia's military advisor Liu Yinfeng has led his men to chase him. However, in Prince Jing's hands, there are probably less than 500 people left. Xia Jun
There are more than 20,000 people left."
Yun Shang was startled when she heard Qian Yin's voice coming over, breathing heavily, "Princess, please slow down."
Yun Shang turned her head and saw Qian Yin and the army coming over. Perhaps because they were marching too fast, the soldiers were a little embarrassed and even the flag was a little tilted.
"Leave two thousand people here to deal with the enemy here. The rest of you can quickly follow me." Yun Shang hurriedly got on his horse and walked inside again.
Five hundred people versus twenty thousand people, five hundred people versus twenty thousand people...
These words echoed back and forth in Yun Shang's mind. Every time he thought about it, the knife across his heart cut him.
Not far from Yunshang, there is a small tree house in the forest. It should be a temporary resting place for hunters who go hunting in the mountains. The tree house is now full of people. Sitting in the crowd is a man in black with a hand on his arm.
The clothes were torn open and blood was leaking out.
"Your Majesty, please bandage your wound." The man beside him bent down and said softly.
The man in black on the hand is none other than Prince Jing, and he is sitting on the stone at the moment, holding a branch and writing and drawing on the ground.
After writing for a long time, Prince Jing raised his head, glanced at the sky, and said calmly, "Let's hold on for a while longer. Xiaojiu is more familiar with the terrain in the mountains, so he should be able to hold on until dark. As long as it gets dark, it will be easier."
A lot."
The secret guard beside Prince Jing was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, there are spies from the Xia Kingdom among us. Along the way, my subordinates took the Prince around many places that were not easy to find, but it didn't take long for him to be found.
Xia Jun caught up with us. I'm afraid someone marked us behind us, but my subordinates also walked quietly at the end to take a look, but they never found anything strange. Your Majesty, why don't you act separately with us, and we can lure Xia Jun away?
Army, the prince is highly skilled in martial arts and will definitely be able to escape the spies’ pursuit.”
When King Jing heard this, he smiled and shook his head, "We will escape successfully. You are all my personal guards trained by me. How can I leave you alone?"
As soon as Prince Jing finished speaking, the soldiers in front of him knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I will leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood. I hope that your Majesty will live well for the sake of the people of Ningguo."
"The people of Ningguo..." King Jing murmured to himself, but the corner of his mouth raised a somewhat mocking smile.
He also always thought that he could protect the people of Ningguo for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that fate played a big joke on him. He was not from Ningguo at all...
What an irony, his blood relatives tried every means to kill him, but it was the people of Ning who kept protecting him.
Ha! How would they react if the soldiers who died to protect him today knew that the person they risked their lives to protect was actually the prince of Xia Kingdom?
When King Jing thought of this, he quietly lowered his eyes, "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."
"Your Majesty, Xia Jun is catching up." A secret guard flew over and reported.
Prince Jing stood up and nodded, his voice hoarse, "Let's go, after resting for a while, we have to speed up our pace. The Xia army is more numerous than us, and they have been chasing us, even more than us."
If they are tired, we have to make them unbearably tired before we have a chance."
"Leave? Prince Jing, I'm afraid you have no chance to leave now." A soft but murderous voice came over.
Everyone was shocked when they saw a man in green clothes riding a horse walking out of the bushes next to the small tree house, accompanied by many soldiers. Everyone quickly turned around, only to see that they had been surrounded at some point behind them.
.
Prince Jing gave a bitter smile. Perhaps it was because he was too tired, or perhaps because he was injured, but he didn't even notice that there were so many people nearby.
After a moment of silence, Prince Jing raised his head and looked at the man in green, "Commander Liu, long time no see."
Liu Yinfeng smiled slightly, "The last time I met Prince Jing must have been five years ago. I drank with Prince Jing that time. I didn't want to see him again and he was already an enemy. However, I admire Prince Jing very much.
Even the late Emperor Ning Guo could not match the ferocity with which he fought the war, as well as his impeccable strategy."
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Military Advisor Liu, but today we are going to fall into the hands of the Military Advisor. After all, the Military Advisor is slightly better." King Jing slowly raised his lips, and his smile gradually widened a little, "I don't know what Liu is doing.
In the minds of the military advisors, who is better between me and the Crown Prince of Xia?"
When Liu Yinfeng heard this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Jing, "Prince Jing asked what the meaning of this sentence is?"
"Good birds choose trees to roost. If Commander Liu feels that I am slightly better than Xia Houyan after all, why not abandon the dark side and join the army of this king? I am willing to conquer the world with Commander Liu."
"." Luo Qingyan looked at Liu Yinfeng with burning eyes, a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
Liu Yinfeng also looked back at Luo Qingyan, his expression paused, and then he said with a smile, "It's just that I, Liu Yinfeng, don't know what a good tree is, but I only know what it means to be faithful to the end and never betray the Lord and forget one's duty.
"
"Oh?" Luo Qingyan had a hint of regret on her face, "That's really a pity."
Liu Yinfeng sneered, "Prince Jing, there is no need to persuade me here to delay time. I have sent your princess away from the mountain to deal with other matters. I'm afraid I won't have time to save you. Before I come after the prince,
He also did something and asked our troops to wave flags and shout at the foot of the mountain, saying that Prince Jing was the eldest prince of the Xia Kingdom and a spy we planted in the Ning Kingdom..."
When King Jing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a little regretful. I originally had something in my heart that I wanted to say to her, but it seems that I can't say it anymore."
"Then let's wait until the prince dies and give the princess a dream. But maybe it won't be necessary. Maybe it won't be long before the princess comes down to accompany you." Liu Yinfeng smiled coldly and said in a loud voice, "In formation!
"
"Liu Military Advisor thinks very highly of me. I only have four to five hundred people around me now. Looking at the military advisor, he should have tens of thousands of people on hand. With such a big difference in numbers, is there still a need to form an array?
"Prince Jing looked at Xia Jun who was everywhere changing positions quickly, and he laughed again.
Liu Yinfeng also laughed along with him, "Of course, Prince Jing is the God of War of Ning Kingdom. The Seventh Prince and Prime Minister Li of your country are both human beings. They have suffered losses at the hands of the prince. Naturally, I should be more cautious."
But in an instant, the formation gradually came into being. Prince Jing turned his eyes and looked at it, knowing in his heart that the formation Liu Yinfeng put up was the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation.
This is a more classic formation and a more commonly used formation. It can be attacked or defended. Once the gate is completely closed, they will be trapped in the middle until they are captured. The formation changes with different situations.
, from the initial state of facing the enemy to the later stage when the enemy was devoured, it was a formation that was guaranteed to be foolproof when there were many versus few. If King Jing had ten thousand people, King Jing would have enough confidence to break this formation, but it would be a pity.
, he only has five hundred people.
The formation was basically closed. Prince Jing lowered his eyes and raised his voice, "Brothers, charge! Today, even if you die, you must die on this battlefield. Don't let them capture you alive."
Everyone responded solemnly, "No."
They all picked up their weapons and rushed outside.
Just as soon as King Jing's men attacked the formation wall, the formation began to change. The Xiumen Gate, the Shengmen Gate, the Shangmen Gate, the Dumen Gate, the Jingmen Gate, the Death Gate, the Jingmen Gate, and the eight open gates kept moving.
The people trapped in the middle died one after another. Prince Jing was already red-eyed and rushed straight towards the Shengmen, and he also suffered a lot of injuries.
Halfway through the rush, someone had already slashed him in the leg with a knife. Prince Jing suddenly fell to the ground, his head suddenly became dizzy, and there was only a buzzing sound around him.
Suddenly a voice came over, "Luo Qingyan, stay alive!"
Prince Jing slightly raised the corners of his lips, he must be dying, but he actually had auditory hallucinations, thinking it was Yun Shang coming... (To be continued)
