Chapter 447: Fraud
The ground in the distance seemed to be shaking. As time passed, the shaking became clearer and stronger.
During confusion, someone shouted.
“Look! The reinforcements are coming!”
The people above and below the city followed the sound and saw a huge dust mist rising from the sky. They didn’t know whether this was coming. How many people and horses.
Suddenly, the Qi troops on the city wall crowded to the top of the wall, waved their arms vigorously, and burst into cheers.
The Zhou army under the city was shocked. They lost their food and fodder and destroyed their camp yesterday. They wanted to capture Tuyang City quickly, but now the commander is dead and reinforcements from Qi are coming. Just looking at the rising dust covering the sky and the sun, it looks like there are thousands of troops...
Without a coach and no supplies, how can we fight this battle?
Many soldiers of the Zhou army panicked. They wondered whether they should continue fighting or evacuate quickly before reinforcements arrived.
They watched and looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up and take charge of the overall situation, and no one dared to bear the consequences regardless of the cost.
Just when he was hesitating and undecided, he heard a scream.
The soldiers were startled and looked out to see General Guo being shot through the throat with an arrow. He fell off his horse with his eyes wide open.
Looking again, the gate of Tuyang City has been opened wide, and countless Qi troops poured out. Qi troops are standing everywhere on and under the city, as well as reinforcements that are about to arrive.
Looking at this situation, it is clear that they are attacking from both sides.
Someone in the crowd shouted to retreat.
There was no time to figure out who was shouting. Just hearing a clear sound, everyone found their direction in an instant. No matter what, there was only one thought in their mind, which was to run.
Whenever one person runs, there will be a second, a third... and more and more people will follow.
Arrows followed one after another, and the army on the other side was approaching little by little.
Everyone is afraid of running slowly and falling behind others.
However, the troops were withdrawn without instructions, and the soldiers fled in all directions. The scene became a mess, and countless people were trampled to death and injured while fleeing.
Liang Huan rode his horse and chased after Yu Wenke, his eyes only fixed on Yu Wenke's few cronies. He nocked arrow after arrow and shot out arrow after arrow. The arrows were all coated with poison. As long as the arrow hit, , will definitely die.
Already losing their coach, and now losing their leaders one after another, the Zhou army was completely defeated while fleeing.
Liang Huan felt indescribably happy as she watched those Zhou soldiers who killed people for fun falling to the ground and died one by one on the martial arts field in the past.
“Empress——”
Someone was chasing after me.
Liang Huan shot the last arrow, looked back, and twitched the corner of his mouth. He was only focused on shooting the arrow happily, and he didn't realize that he had left the Qi army soldiers and Tu Yangcheng far behind.
"My dear, don't push the enemy when you are poor. You must not pursue me any longer!"
Zhao Yan was riding a horse with an anxious look on his face.
Liang Han looked to the other side, and Wang Tingyue and Xiao Wu were also coming over.
She smiled sheepishly at a few people, and was thinking about what to say, when she saw Zhao Yan jump off the horse, solemnly clasping his fists and kneeling down to bow.
"Thank you so much for relieving Tu Yang's troubles."
As he said this, he touched his forehead to the ground and kowtowed three times.
With such a great gift, Liang Huan's face turned red, and she quickly got off the horse and tried to help him up.
"Come on, General Zhao. You really don't have to do this. What I did is nothing more than a cheap trick compared to your usual troop formations..."
Zhao Yan shook his head and said solemnly: "My Lady, please don't be humble. The law has certain conclusions, but the soldiers are unpredictable. The beauty of using it lies in your concentration. Your Majesty is clearly familiar with military books and knows the art of war."
Liang Huan's face burned even more, she felt very guilty, and looked at Wang Tingyue as if asking for help.
Wang Tingyue smiled knowingly, nodded, stepped forward and held Zhao Yan's arm.
"General Zhao, in my opinion, we should return to the city as soon as possible. When Zhou Jun comes to his senses and realizes that he has been deceived, in case of a comeback, we are afraid that we will have to make further plans."
< br>Zhao Yan knew it in his heart, so he stopped worrying about it and bowed to Liang Huan again before getting up.
Liang Huan got on his horse and just sat down, holding the reins, when he turned his head and saw a carriage coming this way.
Several people who were about to leave on horseback also stopped.
Obviously, they all saw it too. Zhao Yan frowned, confused and worried.
Liang Huan's heart moved, and he smiled and said to Zhao Yan: "Don't worry, General Zhao, he should be here to find me."
He turned around again and faced Zhao Yan. Wang Tingyue's eyes met, and he knew it well.
Wang Tingyue nodded lightly and said: "In that case, let me go back to the city first."
Then he faced Zhao Yan: "General Zhao, let's go back first."
Zhao Yan I was a little confused. I looked at Liang Huan and then at Wang Tingyue. Zhou Jun had just left and might come back at any time. If they didn't return to the city together at this time, how could they let the Queen stay alone? How could she explain to the Lord this time?
"Go back, there is a lonely person here."
Liang Han turned around, but it was Gao Qian and Mu Shan who were there.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan left with Wang Tingyue.
Although Wang Tingyue said nothing, Liang Han could understand the last look he gave her, saying goodbye to her.
When the carriage approached, Zhao Yan and the others were already far away.
The carriage stopped, and a man with a face as white as a jade and a white coat as white as snow came out from behind the curtain.
Liang Huan knew that it was impossible to see who was coming from the city wall.
She hurriedly took two steps forward and reached out to help him: "Why are you here?"
Not only was there no intimacy as expected, but her tone was very fierce.
Yu Wenjue held her hand and frowned.
Gao Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pulled the corner of his lips, his lonely mood getting a little better for no reason.
Compared with what she said to Yu Wenjue, it seemed like her own words, 'Your Majesty, you won't leave yet? ’
It doesn't seem unacceptable.
Liang Huan looked at Yu Wenjue worriedly. She knew the injuries on his body best. She had only been recuperating for a few days. How could she dare to walk around? Is he really dying?
Yu Wenjue narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him carefully. His hair was scattered, his face was stained with dirt and blood, and his coarse clothes were even more dirty. When he lowered his head, even his hands were covered with dirt. Something scratched me.
He raised his hand to straighten her hair and sighed slightly: "I'll take you back."
Hearing what he said, Liang Huan felt extremely uncomfortable.
She knew that many things required his help behind the scenes.
Liang Huan's eyes were sour: "I'm sorry for making you worry again."
Yu Wenjue's dark eyes looked at her quietly, with a slight smile on his face, and he raised his hand gently Caressing her hair: "It's really worrying."
Surprised that there was an outsider present, Liang Huan's face turned red, and then thinking about the injury on his arm, he hurriedly held it in his hand to prevent her from letting go. He moved.
Yu Wenjue squeezed her hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter."
Looking past Liang Huan, he looked at the person who had a cold face since he appeared.
Feeling Yu Wenjue's gaze, Liang Huan also looked over, and found that Gao Qian's eyes had been staring at their clasped hands.
Inexplicably, she tried to pull her hand away in embarrassment, but was held tightly.
Looking up again, the eyes that met him were dark and deep.
Both familiar and strange.
Like him, but not like him.
Instinctively, a chill ran down her spine.
