Chapter 201 King Lanling enters the battle, I will meet you again
The wind and snow filled the air, and the sky and the earth were wrapped in silver makeup. Xiao Jinyu came to the tower with a wider view and looked into the distance.
From a distance, she could see a group of black armor cavalry rushing through the Northern Zhou Dynasty soldiers' formation like unsheathed swords, approaching Jin Yong City step by step with the force of thunder and wind.
Xie Yuxuan saw the faint sparkle in her eyes, and couldn't help but call out: "Sister--"
"It's Chang Gong here!"
Xiao Jinyu sighed with a smile, her eyes still looking into the distance for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Axuan, do you still remember the first poem I taught you when you were young?"
"Of course I remember, in the past I left, and the willows were still there. Now I come to think about it, and the rain and snow are falling. Ah Xuan likes this sentence the most!"
Xiao Jinyu looked at her.
"Well, today you will play the drums and I will play the harp. Let's work together to boost the morale of the soldiers!"
"OK!"
Xie Yuxuan replied happily, turned around, took the drumstick, and struck hard on the war drum not far away.
"Dong dong dong!"
As soon as the drums sounded, the soldiers guarding the city immediately looked towards the tower. They saw a woman in red standing fiercely in the wind with her long hair flying. When she turned back to look at them, she smiled. His heroic appearance is as bright as snow and as bright as the sun.
"Soldiers, reinforcements are coming. Cheer up and defend Luoyang to the death!"
Hearing this sound, the morale of the troops and county soldiers who were fighting against the Zhou army directly below the city tower suddenly rose, and the shouts of killing were loud!
Although these army soldiers are not as brave and well-trained as the Imperial Guards who have been specially trained by sergeants, they have a sense of cohesion. Especially when they see a woman playing drums on the tower, a rush of blood surges into their hearts!
"Everyone, with this girl playing drums for us, how can we men shrink back and defend Luoyang to the death?"
"Swear to the death and defend Luoyang!"
The momentum soaring to the sky made the Zhou army who wanted to rush up the ladder feel a little frightened and did not dare to step forward.
At this time, another burst of piano music sounded from the top of the city tower. The music was sonorous and sharp. It seemed to have a sense of solemnity and killing in the wildly flying wind and snow, like a river bursting its embankment or thousands of troops galloping. Whistling past, people think of the celebrities who did not change their expressions on the execution platform and were not afraid of death, and they also think of the generals who fought to find a way out among thousands of troops!
Dugu Yongye and Gao Xiaowan couldn't help but fell silent. They both looked at the "young man" playing the piano and the woman playing the drum in surprise.
Not only him, but even some people in the Zhou army couldn't help crying.
Yuchi Jiong was horrified and looked at the "young man" in Xuanyi who was playing the strings of the piano calmly on the tower. He secretly said with hatred: This Xie Zhen, what is he doing? He actually wants to use the sound of the piano to disturb the morale of our army and destroy the morale of our army. !
"Come here, prepare a bow for me and shoot him!"
"Kill him Xie Zhen!"
…
After breaking out of the surging military formation, about 500 heavy-armored cavalrymen in black clothes rushed out of the Taihe Valley formation and attacked Yuchi's troops around Luoyang City in the south.
The Northern Zhou Dynasty soldiers who were waiting carefully were vulnerable to this small group of cavalry. They finally formed a formation again, but were broken through again.
The leader was wearing a ferocious beast mask and sweeping away enemy soldiers with a halberd in his hand. Followed closely behind him was a young man who also used his spear to pick off enemy soldiers one after another.
Horse hooves trampled over countless corpses! The shouts shook the sky!
Five hundred sergeants are as powerful as the enemy's thousands of troops!
"Who is this person? With only a few hundred riders, he has already broken through our formation twice in a row!"
Someone in the Zhou army exclaimed.
"If it declines again, it will be exhausted after three attempts. I don't believe he can break through for the third or fourth time..."
"I'm afraid I can't do what you want. This is one of the best Xianbei in the Qi Kingdom. One person can defeat a hundred people. They are not even afraid of leaving their backs to the enemy, because they have bodies that even arrows cannot penetrate. "Heavy armor!"
"Really? Hehe, I, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are not vegetarians either!"
"Continue to line up!"
"Surround them and kill them!"
"kill!"
There was another deafening cry of killing. This time, more and more Northern Zhou soldiers thickened their formation, causing this Rakshasa-like elite Qi cavalry to stagnate slightly.
Seeing that the enemy had finally slowed down, the Zhou army was overjoyed and quickly surrounded them. However, they were hit by the sweeping halberds and horseshoes, causing them to scream and break off their limbs and arms.
Despite this, these Zhou troops did not give up, and some even used their bodies to hinder the Qi army's advance.
Gao Changgong paused for a moment, glanced at the reintegrated formation, and felt admiration and emotion for his opponent.
He waved his arm again and ordered:
"Keep going forward!"
"Break the formation!"
Fenghuang glanced at Jinyong City, which was still far away. No one could be seen on the wall in the mist, but he knew that she must be watching on the wall, waiting for their arrival!
"If you continue charging into the formation like this, your troops will gradually be depleted. Why don't you use me as your backing to help you enter Jinyong City!"
Almost as soon as he said these words, Fenghuang simply took off his heavy armor, jumped off his horse, and started fighting with the Northern Zhou infantry with his spear. Under the sweep of his spear, he beheaded several people, and his face was also The ferocious mask on his head frightened the already exhausted Zhou army and did not dare to step forward.
Gao Changgong originally wanted to call him back, but the key to rushing into the formation was speed. He couldn't waste any time, so he no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the bloody path that the phoenix had opened for him, he led the five hundred elite cavalry toward the enemy at lightning speed. Run ahead.
Wherever the Jingqi went, countless Zhou troops either abandoned their helmets or died under the hoofs of their horses!
"This time we break the formation and reach Jin Yong City. There is no need to fight, just keep moving forward!"
Following his order, the five hundred sergeants did not slack off. They just pushed away the enemy troops who were trying to stop them from charging forward, and then kept running forward. After completely breaking through the enemy formation, Gao Changgong looked back at Phoenix At a glance, I saw that this young man had already jumped on the back of a horse very nimbly and was chasing them towards the cavalry!
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile, and he concentrated on dealing with the enemy forces in front of him with all his strength!
It seemed that we were getting closer and closer to the gate of Jinyong City. It was snowing heavily, making it difficult to tell the direction.
And in the snowy mist, there was a "dong dong dong" drum sound, and there was also a vague sound of a piano.
"Fourth brother, there seems to be someone playing drums in front, and there seems to be the sound of a piano!"
"I also heard the sound of drums and pianos coming from above the walls of Jinyong City. We looked for the sound of drums and rushed to the bottom of Jinyong City in one breath!"
"Okay! Fourth brother, it's really a pleasure to fight side by side with you today!"
Gao Yanzong said and asked again:
"Oh, by the way, where was that little brother just now? He is quite brave at such a young age!"
"He's coming! Right behind us!"
Gao Yanzong looked back and saw that the young man was galloping towards him, spurring his horse.
And just after Phoenix knocked down a large number of enemy troops with his spear, and then jumped on his horse and rode away, those Zhou soldiers who were stabbed or stunned with fear could not recover for a long time and hesitated to move forward.
"Baibao Xianbei of Qi State is really brave. Even a young boy less than fifteen years old has such swift and fierce skills. Let alone one against a hundred, it is not an exaggeration to say that one against a thousand!"
"I don't know who the general is?"
…
Soon, Phoenix caught up with Gao Changgong and once again opened bloody paths for him.
The closer they get to Jinyong City, the faster they charge into the formation, and those Zhou troops seem to be more vulnerable.
"Fourth brother, the front seems to be the Guangmo Gate of Jinyong City. I saw Yuchi Jiong's banner, and the drum sound is getting louder and louder, and the sound of the piano is clearer. I don't know who is playing the piano?"
Gao Changgong raised his gracefully curved chin and cast his gaze through the wind and snow at the wall of Jinyong City. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could already see a familiar figure that was engraved deep in his soul. "The person playing the harp seems to be Ayu!"
"So it turns out that Fourth Sister-in-law plays the piano so well? The sound of the piano sounds so majestic but it really makes you want to cry. No wonder it was much easier for us to charge into the battle just now than before, and the morale of the Zhou army here is obviously higher than that behind. Those Zhou troops who resisted tenaciously were much weaker. Could it be that the sound of the fourth sister-in-law's piano made these Zhou troops feel homesick? "
Prince Lanling pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Fourth brother, do you still remember that the last time we went to Yubi City for peace talks, the fourth sister-in-law's poem made those Zhou soldiers burst into tears! Now it seems that the song of being besieged on all sides is nothing more than this, right?"
Speaking of this, Gao Yanzong really had the urge to laugh!
"Since such beautiful music and drums are boosting the morale of our army, why not hurry up and rush!"
"That's right, keep charging forward, there's no need to stop!"
…
"Grand Governor, the five hundred elite cavalry from Qi State rushed all the way from Taihe Valley. They are killing gods and Buddhas. None of our soldiers can challenge them. They are about to reach the gate of Jinyong City. "
"If we join forces with the city's defenders again, it might be detrimental to our side!"
"Grand Governor, do you think we should withdraw our troops? Otherwise, the casualties will be even more severe. If we encounter this ferocious Qi army again, the consequences will be even more disastrous!"
Yuchi Jiong's subordinates were still trying to persuade him, but at this time another sergeant came to report: "Grand Commander, General Wang is unfortunately dead!"
"What's going on?"
Wang Xiong is also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, but...
"General Wang wanted to capture Hu Luguang alive and did not hesitate to go deep into the enemy camp. In the end, he was shot by Hu Luguang with an arrow. After the soldiers took him back to the military camp, General Wang died!"
After hearing this, the subordinate's face changed with shock, and he quickly emphasized his tone and tried to persuade: "Grand Governor, in order to preserve our strength, I also ask the Grand Governor to retreat quickly!"
Yuchi Jiong's face finally fell. He raised his head and glanced at Xie Zhen who was still playing the piano on the city wall again, and thought to himself: Just now, the arrows he fired several times were blocked by a warrior beside him with his sword!
This young man is really as wise as Wei Xiaokuan said!
It would be a pity to kill him, but if he didn't kill him, he would suffer a heavy price for such a disastrous defeat!
And who are the elite men of Qi who lead this group of gods to block gods and Buddhas to kill Buddhas?
…
Xiao Jinyu's hand on the piano slowly stopped when he saw the black armored cavalry getting closer and closer, breaking through the numerous military formations, rolling up the snow and fog in the sky, and rushing towards the city gate, while Yuchi Jiong's army also seemed to be retreating.
"Sister, look at that momentum, is it Baibao Xianbei led by King Lanling?"
Xie Yuxuan also stopped beating the drums, looked at the elite cavalry who had rushed to the gate of Jinyong City, and said secretly: I have long heard that the elite soldiers led by King Lanling are very brave, and besides his beauty, he is also an extremely talented general. , today is really famous than seeing it!
Judging from the small number of this cavalry, they actually broke through the Zhou army surrounded by nearly 100,000 troops!
Really brave and invincible!
Xiao Jinyu's eyes instantly filled with tears. She hadn't seen Chang Gong for three months, but even though he was wearing heavy armor and a mask on his face, she could still recognize him from a distance. he.
"Yes!" She replied softly, "It's him!"
Close! Getting closer!
Under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers guarding the city, either in fear or in surprise, the cavalry, which filled the sky with snowflakes and killed everything, finally arrived in front of Guangmo Gate and under the city tower.
Seeing that the leader was wearing a ferocious mask, the defenders on the city did not dare to open the city gate easily, fearing that the enemy was pretending to rescue them, so they asked Dugu Yongye for instructions.
Dugu Yongye shouted and asked: "Who is coming?"
At this time, a young man jumped out of the crowd and answered loudly:
"My lord is King Lanling, Gao Changgong!"
After he shouted, the five hundred fine knights behind him also shouted in unison:
"My lord is King Lanling, Gao Changgong!"
"Please open the city gate and let me in!"
As soon as the three words King Lanling came out, the defenders immediately became excited, and the fear and haze of being trapped for many days disappeared at this moment.
"King Lanling!"
"It's King Lanling who's coming to the rescue!"
Dugu Yongye still seemed uneasy and asked again: "Take off your mask!"
So, amidst everyone's anticipation or timid waiting, King Lanling took off the mask with wild beast pictures on his face, and at the same time took off the heavy armor on his body, revealing a face that was as bright as the sun and the moon. Generally, breathtaking!
Suddenly everything was quiet, as if the snow had fallen slower.
Everyone in the Qi Kingdom’s dignitaries recognizes this face!
Gao Xiaowan also nodded to Dugu Yongye.
"He is indeed my fourth brother, Prince Lanling Gao Changgong!"
Dugu Yongye nodded and immediately gave instructions to the soldiers guarding the city:
"Put down your crossbowmen and cover King Lanling's entry into the city!"
After he gave the order, the city gate opened wide, and Gao Changgong led five hundred sergeants to rush into the city gate. The crossbowmen on the city wall immediately fired arrows at the pursuing Zhou army from behind.
Zhou Jun, who originally wanted to try another leap and rush into the city gate, was blocked by a rain of arrows and could no longer move forward.
…
"It turns out that the general leading this elite cavalry of Qi is Lanling King Gao Changgong. That's it!"
"We lost this battle so badly, but we didn't lose unjustly!"
After hearing the news, Weichi Jiong couldn't help but sigh.
In this battle, the thirty miles along the road were filled with discarded military supplies and equipment from the Zhou army, filling Sichuan!
With an army of 200,000, Qi State only sent 50,000 soldiers and horses, but they lost their armor and gained nothing!
…
After entering the city, the soldiers and people in the city also cheered. Amidst the overwhelming cheers, King Lanling walked up the tower and walked in front of Xiao Jinyu.
Without too many words, without laughing or crying, Gao Changgong just walked up to her step by step and hugged her into his arms without saying a word.
This move made all the sergeants who looked at him fall silent.
Gao Xiaowan was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly came over and reminded: "Fourth brother, don't go too far, restrain yourself, many people are watching!"
But his words did not make Gao Changgong immediately let go of Xiao Jinyu, but instead hugged her tighter.
Xiao Jinyu could only feel his violent heartbeat, which told her of his worry and fear as well as the joy of his life after a disaster.
"Chang Gong, don't be afraid, we can go home!"
She gently stroked his injured back and whispered softly in his ear.
"Yes, I'm here to meet you again!"
"We can finally go home!"
He choked up and said again,
"I don't want to be separated from you anymore!"
…
Phoenix looked at the two people hugging each other in front of him. He didn't know whether he felt more joy or discomfort. He silently looked away, but just as he looked away, an arrow flew over and was shooting. In the direction of Gao Changgong!
Phoenix immediately dodged over and flew into the air with his bare hands, trying to catch the arrow!
But it was too late, the arrow finally penetrated his palm!
