At the time when Dali is turbulent, in the old crow's nest of Luodian, thousands of forbidden troops trapped in this gloomy place are also seeking to save themselves.
"My sons! We can't just wait here to die. We are still ready to move. In three quarters, we will fight out together with the Sa family!"
Wang Shunchen, the commander of the Forbidden Army, was gathering his men to prepare for a breakout.
The commander-in-chief sounds like a very high official position. In fact, in the Song Dynasty, when military generals were not treated as well as dogs, only the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army, that is, the Tianwu, Pengri, Dragon Guard, and Shenwei armies that guarded the capital, were the senior commanders from the Eighth Army.
Taste.
Struggle to the end is Huang Shang’s starting point.
That's all. The commanders who are stationed in the local area have no official rank or even rank, which is really miserable.
Wang Shunchen is a palace servant without any rank, he is far away from the ninth rank.
But his momentum at this moment was extremely astonishing.
The tragic look in his perseverance infected everyone gathered around him.
The general will give courage to the army, and the power of one general can control the three armies.
The reason why these three battalions of forbidden troops have been able to hold on until now is due to the terrain advantage of Lao Crow Nest on the one hand, and Wang Shunchen's ability to lead the troops on the other.
He moved around and mobilized repeatedly, and finally gathered more than 600 people, formed a formation, and were ready to go.
The third battalion of forbidden troops was originally supposed to have 1,500 people, but in fact there were only 1,000. After escaping here, another third fell.
Looking around at this time, there were people lying everywhere, and the shapeless armor and weapons were scattered all over the place.
Many of the Imperial Guards were not seriously injured on the surface, but they were lying on the soft soil, lifeless.
An extremely depressing atmosphere enveloped this place, coupled with the shrill screams of crows, the word "desperate situation" was vividly interpreted.
Under such circumstances, Wang Shunchen was able to mobilize all the remaining imperial troops to prepare for a breakout, which was an extremely rare talent for leading an army.
"Someone!"
At this moment, the warning sound sounded, and two figures suddenly slid in from the side of the mountain wall.
The reason why it was said that there were people rather than enemy attacks was because they identified themselves immediately.
Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun.
"Dali Duan clan? Useless! Useless!"
Wang Shunchen shook his head.
The normal entrances and exits of Lao Crow's Nest have been guarded at all levels, and only martial arts masters with excellent dexterity skills can climb in from the side.
But so what?
A few people can't change the situation at all!
However, when the Duan brothers were brought over by the imperial army, their first words were: "We are entrusted by Huang Shang, the magistrate of Yongzhou and the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road Transfer. Who is in charge here?"
Wang Shunchen took a step forward, his two bell-like eyes stared: "What's the proof?"
Duan Zhengming took out a seal and handed it over: "This is the official seal given to me by Ambassador Huang. Please take a look."
The official seals of the Song Dynasty were divided into three levels: treasure, seal and mark.
The seals held by emperors, empresses and princes are called "bao", the official seals of military and administrative agencies at all levels are called "seal", and those of subordinate officials and military generals below are called "ji".
Wang Shunchen was not qualified to hold the seal, and only had a Zhuji. However, he recognized the official seal and knew that the Dali rebels could not forge it. His expression softened and he asked, "What are the orders of Huang Yunshi who sent you here?"
Duan Zhengming said: "Envoy Huang is outside Lao Crow's Nest. He is here to rescue you back to the Song Dynasty. He sent me two in to confirm the situation."
"Envoy Huang Yun led his troops to Luo Palace?"
Wang Shunchen was surprised and happy. He took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly: "Did you hear that? Huang Yunshi, the leader of the Three Yuan Dynasty, came to save everyone in person. We are saved!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"
All the Imperial Guards raised their weapons and their morale was greatly boosted.
In a desperate situation, what they look forward to most is reinforcements, not to mention their chief officer, the world-famous Sanyuan leader?
People have a bright future and are willing to take risks with their own lives. What reason do they have for not fighting for their lives?
Seeing that the morale was getting stronger and they were ready to fight, Wang Shunchen said to Duan Zhengming again: "In three moments, we will break through. You can report back and support us outside. How many troops and horses did Huang Yunshi bring? Is there a thousand?
?”
"Please rest assured, your Excellency, Huang Yunshi has defeated hundreds of Yang Yizhen's elite soldiers and will definitely be able to rescue you!"
Duan Zhengming cleverly avoided the question of number and asked: "Where is Prince Yanqing?"
Wang Shunchen did not doubt that he was there, and pointed into the valley: "There."
Duan Zhengchun hurriedly walked away, with deep concern on his brows.
Viewed from a high altitude, the old crow's nest is in the shape of a gourd. Today's imperial army of the Song Dynasty is gathered in the half of the small gourd at the entrance. Going deeper into the back, the area is larger.
Under the protection of a few remaining defeated generals, Duan Yanqing sat there, squinting his eyes slightly, seeming to be asleep and awake.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Duan Zhengchun rushed over impatiently and shouted loudly.
"Zheng!"
What responded to him was the sound of the guards' weapons being unsheathed. The blood-stained faces were still loyal to their duties, not letting anyone suspicious approach their highness.
"Brother Chun, don't be impulsive!"
Duan Zhengming grabbed the excited Duan Zhengchun and carefully looked at Duan Yanqing's condition.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in my heart.
It was foreseeable that Duan Yanqing was seriously injured, but it was not the case that he was so disabled.
The face with scars, the legs with bloody flesh, the skin with pus and ulcers...
This prince suffered irreparable trauma in the previous war.
Even if such a person is rescued, can he ascend to the position of great treasure?
To be an emperor, one does not have to be suave and behave in an extraordinary manner, but one should not be too ostentatious either.
After all, it is related to the face of a country, and it needs to accept envoys from all parties.
Duan Zhengchun was not stupid. When he looked at Duan Yanqing, his eyes were wrong.
Perhaps the gaze was too dazzling, so Duan Yanqing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him, and said viciously: "Are you committing a crime by looking at me like this?"
There are not many children of the Duan family in Dali, and there are only dozens of the younger generation. Duan Yanqing recognizes Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun, but as a high-ranking prince, he is a direct descendant of all the major branches, so how can he usually look up to them?
Unexpectedly, Long You Qian Shui was looking at him now, and for no reason, he felt hatred towards the handsome Duan Zhengchun in his heart.
The ferocious look frightened Duan Zhengchun. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this despite taking huge risks to save people in the valley. He felt unhappy and said: "Your Highness, we are here to save you!"
Duan Yanqing let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh: "Just the two of you? Are the eminent monks from Tianlong Temple here? Why are they not showing up when I am being hunted like this! Are they all rebelling?"
Listening to Duan Yanqing's extreme and hateful words, Duan Zhengming shook his head slightly, feeling disappointed in his heart. Duan Zhengchun wanted to say more, but his face suddenly changed drastically and his scalp became numb: "There are bugs on your face!"
Duan Yanqing thought he was sarcastically saying that he was going to die, so he became furious. He opened his mouth to curse when he suddenly felt itchy on his face.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, and saw a green insect that was shaking its head and wagging its tail, looking at it stupidly.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Not only Duan Yanqing, but everyone screamed.
Because of bugs!
Densely packed with insects!
Spreading from all directions!
At this moment, the crows in the old crow's nest flapped their wings and flew in all directions, never to return.
The real terror will come next!
…
…
"Five Poison Sect?"
Outside the old crow's nest, Huang Shang stood quietly alone, with neither Xiaoyaozi nor the butcher beside him.
In the field of vision, countless weak but tenacious life forms are gathering here like a tide.
His eyes were like lightning, and he looked somewhere else and said, "Since you're here, why don't you show up and see me?"
"Young Master is really extraordinary. He is worthy of being ranked third in the Three Yuan Dynasty, and his literary skills are down to earth!"
Accompanied by a soft and melodious voice, a woman wearing a bright long dress and complex ornaments appeared on a tree not far away, holding an emerald green flute and wearing a colorful mask on her face.
Huang Shang looked at the visitor.
If you have a nice voice but don't show your face, how should you usually deal with it?
