The huge sound of the inner city collapsing could be clearly felt even by Li Danqing and others who were wandering outside the city.
That huge sound seemed to press the pause button on the world.
Both the attacking Blackwater Army and the pursuing Youyun Army stopped at this moment and turned their heads to look in the direction from which the roaring sound came.
There, the towering city wall suddenly collapsed, and dust flew everywhere, making the scene that was already difficult to see clearly in the night become increasingly blurry and uncertain.
"The city is broken." Ning Xiu clenched the halberd in her hand, looking nervous.
So far, they have attracted at least 50,000 to 60,000 defenders. They do not know how many people the main force of Youyun's army has this time, but the Blackwater Army of 5,000 people can involve such a large number of defenders.
The army has almost reached their limit.
It can be said that at this point, their plan has been carried out extremely smoothly, and as soon as the inner city is broken, the Youyun army rushes into the city and they will inevitably find that the Qingyun army has no chance of responding. At that time, their plan is almost the same.
Having been exposed, their mission has been completed, and the next step is to look at the Qingyun Army themselves.
Although they have done their best at this moment and the only way left is to obey fate, Ning Xiu and others are still nervous about the safety of their father.
"Get ready to retreat." Li Danqing's calm voice interrupted everyone's thoughts, and everyone came to their senses at this time.
Everyone looked at each other. Although they were still a little worried, they also understood that if they delayed any longer, not only would they not be able to help the Qingyun Army at all, but they would also be at risk of being surrounded and annihilated by more and more incoming troops.
Thinking of this, everyone nodded, then they all put away their swords, slapped their horses, and the army galloped towards the rear, preparing to completely get rid of the pursuers behind them.
The army behind them did not pursue them. It seemed that they had received news from the front and knew the plans of Li Danqing and others.
The Blackwater Army ran a mile away like this, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Prince Li! Farewell to Yangshan. You are well."
The moment Li Danqing heard the sound, he suddenly pulled on the reins. His body trembled a little at that moment, but he quickly stabilized his body and then turned his head to look there.
I saw Youyun's army stopped in the distance, and there were several very familiar figures of Li Danqing standing in front of the formation.
The dean of Qiujing College, Bai Sushui!
Ran Ling, the tiger-toothed girl from the Fu Jian royal family who inherited the ancient bloodline!
besides……
And the former guardian of Dafeng Yuan, Wang Juetong!
"Sure enough, it's you." Li Danqing clenched the Chaoge Sword in his hand and whispered in a cold voice.
From the very beginning, he vaguely guessed that the leader of Youyun's army this time would be Longtuo Yanya...
But the sudden meeting at this moment still made the anger in Li Danqing's heart surge and explode, even...
In an instant, his eyes turned red!
…
Prince Li is not a person who likes to talk about love and hate.
But not saying it doesn't mean that you don't remember or don't care.
In fact, in many cases, Li Danqing cares more than anyone else and remembers it more than anyone else.
He remembered the woman who helped him block the sharp claws of the apostles of the Eternal Life Palace, remembered her unhappy childhood, remembered the dark time she told about in the Eternal Life Palace, remembered her tears, and remembered her slowly dispersing in the snow.
The temperature was so warm, and I even remember that brief kiss at Yuerlou.
He also remembered the frustrated mountain master, who showed his heart a few times, and showed sympathy for each other who had fallen from the world. He remembered what he said about the true meaning of Yangshan, and he also remembered the determination and compassion on his face the night he left.
He still remembers Zhang Yu and Zhao Quan, their perseverance, their going in opposite directions, and finally reaching the same destination through different paths.
And Wang Xiaoxiao! He is still missing!
And all of these, good or bad, came to naught because of the man in front of him, because of his palace of eternal life and his so-called ambitions.
How could Li Danqing not be angry?
angry!
He suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at the man in the distance.
"It seems that Prince Li doesn't really want to see me." The man said with a smile, a leisurely look on his face.
"Where's Xiaoxiao?" Li Danqing asked in a deep voice.
"He is my son, and it is not Prince Li's turn to worry about it. What's more, should Prince Li be more worried about his own safety than him?" Long Tuo Yan Ya asked in return.
Li Danqing's heart trembled, and everyone in the Dafeng Courtyard and the Blackwater Army beside him also felt the threat of the man, and they all prepared themselves to prepare.
But the man waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to take Prince Li's life today. I'm just here to reminisce and chat..."
The man's words were sincere, but it was obvious that no one present was willing to risk their lives on the man's credit. The guarded look on their faces did not diminish at all, but instead they became more solemn.
Li Danqing was also silent, just staring at him with cold eyes.
Long Tuo Yan Ya secretly felt bored, waved his hand and said, "Okay, how about I tell you Prince Li what Sun Yu was saying before he died?"
"Or do you want to hear Zhao Quan's last words more?"
"I don't care what they said before they died, as long as I know who killed them, that's enough." Li Danqing responded in a deep voice.
Long Tuo Yan Ya was stunned when he heard this, but the next moment he understood the implication of Li Danqing's words, and he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Interesting! Interesting!"
"Prince Li is a wonderful man!" He laughed loudly, his eyebrows arched, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
After more than ten breaths of time passed, Long Tuo Yanya calmed down and looked at Li Danqing and asked: "Prince Li, what do you think you have the ability to avenge them?"
"Is it your identity as a down-and-out heir apparent, or is it your superb military skills that think you are making an impact in the east and west, but are actually full of flaws?"
Li Danqing's expression changed when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly opened wide. He looked at Long Tuo Yan Ya in disbelief.
Long Tuo Yanya obviously enjoyed the horror on Li Danqing's eyebrows at this moment. He said slowly: "Originally, the Qingyun Army was hiding in the inner city. Even if we broke through the city wall, they could not get out. If we wanted to attack them, the Youyun Army would have to
They suffered a lot of losses. But by chance, they met you, Prince Li, who is a master of military skills, and gave them a clever plan."
As he spoke, Long Tuo Yan Ya paused, looked at the densely packed banners held by the Blackwater Army behind Li Danqing, and then said: "Use thousands of soldiers and horses to create the illusion of a large army pressing down on the situation, trying to make us think that you are preparing to fight with the city.
The Qingyun Army should cooperate with the outside to make a breakthrough from the southwest, draw our main force, and then let the army break out from the southeast. Am I right in this calculation? "
Long Tuo Yan Ya's question did not receive an answer from Li Danqing, but from Li Danqing's livid face, Long Tuo Yan Ya already got the answer...
"It's a pity that this kind of calculation is still too naive. Prince Li's cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness. The main force of our Youyun Army has already deployed in the southeast, and the troops from the Chinese Army Camp have also come out to attack from behind and encircle and suppress them from both sides.
There is no barrier of Ma Tuo City. Outside the city is an endless plain. The 60,000 Qingyun Army has nowhere to hide. In less than an hour, all of them will become the dead souls of my Youyun Army. I have to thank Li for this.
Prince..."
As Long Tuo Yan Ya said this, his eyes fell on Li Danqing again.
At this moment, Li Danqing's face was pale, and his body was swaying on the horse, as if his energy and blood were attacking his heart, and he was about to fall down at any time.
"Go...go..." His body was trembling, and his eyes looking at Long Tuo Yanya were full of fear. He said this, pulled up the reins, and led the Black Water Army to evacuate as if they were about to flee.
Long Tuo Yan Ya looked at Li Danqing, who had lost all his momentum and looked like a bereaved dog. He had a proud expression on his face, but he did not break his promise. He just stood there and watched the Blackwater Army evacuate in embarrassment and said loudly: "Prince Li, please go slower."
, we will meet again in the future."
Li Danqing seemed to be frightened out of his wits. He didn't look back. He just kept holding the riding whip high, as if he wanted to go as fast as possible.
Get away from here.
Watching the Black Water Army leave, Bai Sushui beside the man frowned again: "Your Majesty, just let them go like this? It may not be appropriate to let the tiger return to the mountain..."
"Tiger?" Long Tuo Yan Ya glanced at Bai Sushui and said with a smile: "Looking at Prince Li running for his life, how does he look like a tiger? He's just a dog."
"Let him go. He's just a clown anyway. Kill him and I won't be able to explain Xiaoxiao's side. Keeping him may make Xiaoxiao happier and do some things better."
Long Tuo Yan Ya's attitude was careless. Although Bai Sushui didn't agree with his statement in her heart, she couldn't refute his meaning in front of so many people. She could only frown and look at the direction Li Danqing was leaving, feeling deep down in her heart.
Still anxious.
"Report!" At this moment, a voice came from a distance. A Youyun warrior came here on a fast horse, got off his horse and knelt down beside Long Tuo Yan Ya.
Long Tuo Yan Ya seemed to be still immersed in the wonderful feeling of playing with Li Danqing. He looked at the night in front of him and asked without looking back: "The 60,000 Qingyun Army were eliminated so quickly? Not bad..."
But this inquiry did not receive a response from the soldier. The soldier was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, his body trembling slightly, and his face was pale and he did not dare to make any response.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Long Tuo Yan Ya noticed something strange from the soldier's strange behavior. The light in his eyes dimmed and he lowered his head to look at the soldier.
"Report... report... Your Majesty, Qing... Qingyun Army..." The soldier's voice trembled, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Long Tuo Yan Ya realized that things had changed, his face changed, and he asked loudly: "What happened to the Qingyun Army?! Tell me!!!"
The soldier trembled under the roar of Long Tuo Yan Ya, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Masters Ran Ying and Ran Qiu led the army to fight out from the south gate, and surrounded the Qingyun Army with the army from the southeast.
Breakout force. But..."
"But I didn't expect that the main force of the Qingyun Army was hidden in the inner city. They took advantage of the emptiness of the Chinese army camp, rushed out from the north gate, and robbed the Chinese army camp. Although the officers and soldiers in the camp fought bravely, they were outnumbered, and they burned the granary.
Then break out and leave..."
"What!!!" The soldier's words made Long Tuo Yanya furious: "How is that possible! When we entered the city, wasn't there intelligence that Qingyun's army broke out from the south gate? Why was the main force hidden in the inner city again?
"
The roar of Long Tuo Yan's teeth caused the soul of the soldier to escape, but he did not dare to ignore his inquiry. He could only grit his teeth and replied: "The Qingyun Army that broke out was only five thousand people. They just took advantage of the night and brought them with them.
The suspicious soldiers under the banners, Lord Ran Ying, were in a hurry to wipe out the breakout army and did not check the situation in the inner city, which gave the Wuyang people an opportunity. It only took them and the outer city defenders less than half an hour to defeat them all.
After wiping out five thousand suspected soldiers, I counted the number of people and found something was wrong. When I recovered and returned to the camp, I found that the camp was in a mess, and the Qingyun Army was nowhere to be found..."
As these words came out, Long Tuo Yan Ya's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Asshole!" he yelled, with a ferocious expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, this is not the time to be upset. Hurry up and send someone to intercept and kill Li Danqing..." Bai Sushui on the side also came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to speak.
Long Tuo Yanya breathed heavily, coughed violently, and stood hunched over for a long time before he recovered.
Then, he raised his head and looked in the direction where Li Danqing and others left in the night. There was no trace of Li Danqing and others there.
He shook his head, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down.
"It's too late..." he said, then turned to look at Bai Sushui.
"You are right, we have indeed let the tiger go back to the mountains."
"This son... is good at calculations. He anticipated my thoughts and was ruthless. He dared to let 5,000 Qingyun troops die and sacrificed his troops to protect the chariot. Not only did he revitalize 50,000 Qingyun troops, but he also burned down our granary..."
After saying this, the man once again looked in the direction where Li Danqing was riding away, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
"Fortunately, Ji Qi was short-sighted and dismantled the White Wolf Army. Otherwise, we have no way of saying that we would have to face another Tiance General..."
