Yelang's army attacked the city? Yun Shang frowned. He was afraid that they broke into the camp and rescued the two people last night, which angered Cangjue Qingsu. Cangjue Qingsu never liked provocation.
I can't swallow this bad breath.
And Luo Qingyan now has nothing to worry about and will no longer be tied down. This battle will definitely be a fierce battle.
However, the Xia Kingdom currently has only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in the city, while the Yelang Kingdom has nearly 300,000...
Yun Shang thought about this, so she quickly got on her horse and rushed towards Lingxi City. The gate of Lingxi City had been closed for a long time. The soldier who came to report hurriedly showed his token and ordered the gate to be opened.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty asked your Majesty to return to the city to guard the palace. It is not safe outside." Soldiers were everywhere in the city. Yun Shang heard loud shouts of death coming from the north, as well as the sound of war drums and horns.
Yun Shang ignored the soldier and galloped towards the North Tower with the secret guard on horseback.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen." Behind him was the soldier's shout. Yun Shang turned a deaf ear to it, raised his riding whip, and brought it down again: "Drive."
The city gate to the north was also closed tightly. There was a faint roar from outside the city gate. Yun Shang raised his eyes and saw a bright yellow figure faintly visible on the city wall.
Yun Shang reined in his horse, dismounted and ran up the city wall. Then he saw the darkness outside the city wall. In the distance, the banner of Yelang Kingdom stood, and there was a row of hussars at the front. Because they were too far apart,
Yun Shang couldn't see the appearance of the man on the horse, but vaguely felt that the man in the middle must be Cang Jue Qingsu.
On the Xia army's side, Lin Shen led the troops. The army was arranged in a crane-wing formation. Lin Shen stood in the middle and rear, surrounded by heavy troops. The left and right wings were spread out like the wings of a crane. Qian Jun stood on the city wall,
There were several more secret guards guarding him. They held two red flags in their left and right hands and kept waving the flags in their hands. The sound of the war drums changed with the waving of the flags in Qian Jun's hands, and the army below followed the speed of the drums and kept waving them.
Changing formations.
But Yelang's army shouted in unison in very poor Xia dialect: "The Emperor of Xia is a coward! Don't hide in the city, come and fight if you have the guts!"
Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan on the city wall from a distance. Luo Qingyan pursed her lips tightly and her expression was frighteningly cold.
There were several guards standing beside Luo Qingyan. One of them saw Yun Shang and quickly whispered something beside Luo Qingyan. Luo Qingyan turned around and looked at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang saw him frowning and walking towards her, so she hurriedly greeted him, looked at Luo Qing and said: "Your Majesty, everything is in order on Phoenix Mountain. How is the situation here?"
Luo Qingyan looked at Yun Shang steadily for a long time before speaking, with a low voice and a bit of hoarseness: "Go back to the city to guard the mansion."
Yun Shang turned her head and looked at the dark army outside the city. Although her heart was full of worry, she still nodded slightly. Suddenly she saw the man who looked like Cang Jue Qingsu in the front and middle of the enemy army picked up the bow and arrow in his hand.
The bow was fully drawn.
Yun Shang's eyes turned cold, and she quickly grabbed Luo Qingyan's hand and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, look, who does Cang Jue Qingsu want to shoot with an arrow?"
When Luo Qingyan heard the words, he also looked over, but the man seemed to have loosened his bow string. He was too far away, and Yun Shang couldn't see who the arrow was flying towards, but Luo Qingyan beside him had already
He raised his voice and shouted: "Protect General Qian!"
The arrow was getting closer and closer. Yun Shang saw that the arrow was heading straight towards Qian Jun. Several guards in front of Qian Jun quickly drew their swords to block it, but the arrow broke the swords in the guards' hands.
It was broken in half, and a small part of the arrow was still buried in the guard's body.
Yun Shang's eyes widened, but she felt a little frightened in her heart. She had heard that Cang Jue Qingsu was extremely powerful, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful.
Luo Qingyan turned around and walked towards Qian Jun. When he got there, he turned around and waved to Yun Shang, indicating her to come down the tower. Yun Shang didn't want to make herself a target of Cang Jue Qingsu and offend Luo Qingyan.
Qingyan was worried, so he hurriedly got off the tower and rode back to the city guard's mansion.
The gate of the city guard's mansion was also closed. The secret guard pulled up the iron ring on the door and knocked on the door. The door was opened, and inside was the secret guard who had been lying in wait for many years with his sword unsheathed. Seeing that it was one of his own, he
He quickly opened the door and saluted: "Master."
Yun Shang was a little surprised: "What is this? Yelang's army has not yet entered the city."
The secret guard hurriedly said: "Your Majesty gave the order. Your Majesty said that the enemy is attacking, soldiers are mobilizing frequently in the city, and there is some chaos everywhere. It is difficult to guarantee that some spies will take this opportunity to sneak into the city guard's house, intending to do harm to the master and the little prince.
Order our brothers to guard the city and guard the mansion, and no one can be let in."
Hearing the words, Yun Shang nodded and hurried back to the yard. Peilan was wandering back and forth in the yard, with a look of anxiety on his face. When he heard the footsteps, he turned around and saw Yun Shang.
Then a hint of joy appeared, and he stepped forward and said hurriedly: "As soon as the empress came out of the city, the enemy troops came to attack the city. But the servants were frightened. They were afraid that something would happen to the empress. After waiting for a long time, they didn't see the empress.
, this slave is so anxious."
When Yun Shang saw tears faintly appearing in Peilan's eyes, she couldn't help laughing, patted Peilan on the shoulder and said: "Look at you, we are in danger everywhere in the palace, and we are frightened every step of the way.
Is that so? I didn’t see you so anxious at that time. I have a lot of secret guards with me, so nothing will happen.”
Peilan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, lowered her head, and said with some embarrassment: "There is no place in the palace as scary as this. I feel panicked just listening to the loud sound outside."
Yun Shang looked at Peilan with a smile and said: "Then you have to adapt early, because we are afraid that we will have to stay on this battlefield for a long time." Yun Shang said, then walked into the main room.
, asked softly: "Where is Bao'er? Are you scared?"
Peilan shook his head. Hearing Yun Shang ask about the little prince, he couldn't help but marveled: "I don't know, my lady. Not only was this slave not frightened, but she was also a little excited when she saw the little prince. She was rolling around on the bed and laughing.
I’m so happy.”
"Heartless." Yun Shang shook her head and murmured. When she entered the room, she saw Bao'er rolling over on the bed and laughing. He seemed to like the outside very much.
of noise.
Seeing that he was having fun by himself, Yun Shang silently left and went to the study.
Since arriving in Lingxi City, Yun Shang has placed maps everywhere. Yun Shang sat down behind the desk, then raised his eyes and told Peilan: "Go and make a cup of tea."
Peilan agreed, and then asked Yun Shang: "Slave, please make a cup of mountain chrysanthemum for your Majesty. It will clear away the heat and improve your eyesight. My Majesty has been reading all day long, and my eyes can't bear it."
Yun Shang didn't care and waved her hand in response.
Peilan retreated, and Yun Shang's eyes fell on the map. Almost all of Yelang's army was outside Lingxi City. There were too few Xia soldiers in Lingxi City. Even against the city wall, I was afraid that
They won't be able to hold on for long. One way is to lead the soldiers of the Yelang Kingdom to Phoenix Mountain, but the Yelang Kingdom army that was just seen from the city tower is extremely powerful, and they may just come to break the city.
Yun Shang frowned slightly. Just now she saw Qian Jun and Lin Shen on the tower, but she didn't seem to see Zhao Yingjie. Where would Zhao Yingjie be if he wasn't on the tower?
Yun Shang's expression moved slightly, her eyes focused on the map, and after pondering for a long time, she quickly took out another map from her sleeve. This map had many red dots marked on it, and the red dots were concentrated on Langya Mountain.
Langya Mountain is located to the east of Lingxi City. The mountains stretch for several miles. The northernmost position...
Yun Shang's finger traced straight across from the northernmost side of Langya Mountain, a few miles outside Lingxi City. If Yun Shang guessed correctly, it should be in the middle and rear of Yelang's army.
Yun Shang's hand paused slightly. Could it be that Zhao Yingjie was on Langya Mountain and wanted to rush down the mountain with the Langya Mountain garrison, creating a situation of outflanking him from the front and back?
Yun Shang was silent for a moment, but the difference in numbers between the two armies was so big that even if they were to outflank each other, they would not have the slightest advantage.
etc.
Yun Shang thought carefully about the formation of Yelang Kingdom that she just saw on the city tower. The shield soldiers were in front, the archers were behind the shield soldiers, and then there were generals riding horses behind. Behind the generals, it seemed...infantry?
If this is the case, then the cavalry ranks last in the Yelang Kingdom?
If he raised an army, wouldn't Zhao Yingjie be asking for trouble if he attacked from behind? At that time, the attack would be facing hundreds of thousands of troops from the Yelang Kingdom. If he retreated, there would be no way he could outrun the Yelang Kingdom's cavalry.
Peilan opened the door and walked in, put the tea in Yun Shang's hand, then backed out and closed the door.
Yun Shang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, but her mind was a little confused. She really couldn't figure out how Luo Qingyan could defeat the Yelang Kingdom army at such a disadvantage.
The sky was getting dark, Yun Shang stood up and lit the oil lamp, but suddenly heard the pattering sound outside. Yun Shang was startled, walked around the desk, and opened the window, but it was already raining outside.
The rain came. The raindrops were a bit heavy, and the banana tree behind the house crackled. A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire sky at once, and then there was a thunder.
Yun Shang frowned, why is it raining at this time? Yun Shang walked to the door and opened it. Peilan, who had been waiting outside the door, quickly turned around and looked at Yun Shang, with a hint of something in his eyes.
Very doubtful.
"Do you know what's going on outside?" Yun Shang asked Peilan softly.
Peilan shook his head: "My servant only heard that there was a battle in the evening, but we were small in number and suffered some losses. Now the army has all withdrawn into the city."
Just as he was talking, he heard a sound, like a crash. (To be continued)
