Chapter 1571 A Worthy Death

The wounded soldiers supported each other and stood up to ask for Bai Qingyan's orders.

"Your Majesty, let us wounded soldiers stay behind. If we follow along like this, we will only drag down our brothers..."

"If we stay, Your Majesty and our brothers will have hope of survival!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are already disabled. Even if we cross the river, we may not be able to survive!" The centurion looked at Liu Pinggao, "General, escort your Majesty across the river!"

Bai Qingyan had tears in her eyes, clenched her fists, and her heart was boiling with emotion.

Reinforcements are not available, so we have to withdraw...

And crossing the river, there was no guarantee that the soldiers could follow her to the other side of the river alive.

Bai Qingyan is unwilling to give up every soldier here, but if he delays it any longer... The Xiping Army is pressing forward. How many of them can survive if they fight to the death?

"If Your Majesty is not at ease, I will stay here!" Wei Zhong also spoke. He had been injured in order to protect Bai Qingyan. His arm was bandaged, but blood was still flowing out. "Old slave, this life is for Protect Your Majesty! If you stay here today...even if you die, you will die well."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Pinggao looked at Bai Qingyan. He knew that this order was difficult to give, "Give it the order!"

The archers who had been staying on top of the giant tree saw the fire approaching from a distance. They hurriedly slid down from the tree, stepped on the corpses of the enemy soldiers and rushed up. They reported to Bai Qing: "Your Majesty! There is fire approaching in the distance!"

Bai Qingyan tightened her grip on the bow and arrow, feeling reassured.

"Your Majesty, could it be reinforcements from their Yan country?" Liu Pinggao felt uneasy.

Bai Qingyan shook his head: "No, the dead King Xiping and his son all wanted to kill me, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, so that they could have a say among the vassal kings of Yan State, especially now that the Xiping Army The military strength exceeds that of Dazhou several times, and Dazhou is trapped in the mountain! If he had sent people to ask other vassal kings for reinforcements, he would not have been so hasty and ordered all the soldiers of the Xiping Army to go up the mountain! They should be the reinforcements of our Dazhou!"

As soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking, he stepped on a stone and shouted loudly: "Soldiers! Our reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty have arrived. We have to hold on! Wait for the Xiping army to go up the mountain and kill again! Then follow my orders and fight with The reinforcements will work together to fight a bloody path! Today...as long as I don't die! I will summon my Zhou generals back to the city to destroy Yan!"

"Destroy Yan!"

"Destroy Yan!"

"Destroy Yan!"

The enthusiasm of the soldiers was ignited by Bai Qingyan's words, and they were not afraid even when facing the Xiping Army, which was several times larger than them.

·

At the foot of the mountain, King Xiping heard the screams and killings on the mountain, and shouted loudly for the soldiers to rush forward. Whoever takes the head of the Emperor of Zhou will get thousands of gold.

"Report..."

Suddenly a fast horse came. The man on the horse wearing the guard clothes of the Xiping Palace jumped down before the horse could stop. He almost fell to the ground and said loudly: "Report! Your Majesty, there is a thief's attack." The Prince of Xiping’s Mansion has captured the princess... the crown prince, the three young masters, your concubine! As well as the second and third masters’ two families!”

Prince Xiping was startled, and the first thing that came to his mind was Emperor Bai Qingyan of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But their Xiping Army was making a surprise attack. How could the Emperor of Zhou send people to arrest the family members of the Xiping Prince's Palace without knowing it beforehand?

The only ones who knew that they were coming out in full force were his vassal prince uncles!

Could it be...that it's them? !

"Sir, I'm afraid this is the work of those vassal kings. I'm afraid they are waiting for you to kill the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty so that you can negotiate terms with the princess, the prince, and the young master!" Counselor Xuanyi stepped forward and said.

"Bah! Shameless things!" Prince Xiping spat, "The battle has not been won yet, and they are planning to break their own hearts! You bastards!"

"Report..." A scout came back quickly and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the reinforcements from Dazhou are less than one mile away!"

"Your Majesty, I think that since this is the case, the lives of the princess, the prince, and the young master must not be in danger. The top priority now is to block the reinforcements of the Great Zhou Dynasty and kill the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the same time!" Counselor Xuanyi said again.

Originally, counselor Xuanyi's idea was to be trapped and then invite other vassal princes to come over. Since Prince Xiping did not agree, he had to solve the current predicament first.

Bai Jinzhi's fast horse could hardly catch up with Xiao Rongyan in front.

Their reinforcements could see the firelight in the distance that reflected the night red, and the thick smoke billowing like black clouds, Bai Jinzhi felt fear in his heart.

She was afraid that the eldest sister and the others would not be able to support the reinforcements!

Their Dazhou reinforcements met Xiao Rongyan on the way. Xiao Rongyan captured all the family members of the Xiping Palace, a total of twenty-six people, including three infant babies, and none of them escaped.

This time, Xiao Rongyan inspected the epidemic city for the emperor. The regent's carriage moved slowly. Xiao Rongyan and his escort team would go to other cities for private visits on the way. It was precisely because of this... When other vassal kings attacked Xiao Rongyan's carriage, they were not able to catch him. Staying with Xiao Rongyan allowed Xiao Rongyan to gain insight into their intentions.

The rebellion among the vassal kings of Yan was indeed unexpected by Xiao Rongyan, but it was reasonable...

There is certainly a reason why Xiao Rongyan’s identity as the imperial concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty was exposed, but... it is probably because the vassal king saw that the Yan Kingdom had no hope of defeating the Great Zhou Dynasty. And if the Yan Kingdom merged with the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty would inevitably cut down the vassalage. At the time, the vassal king of the Jin Kingdom The lessons from the past are still close at hand.

Therefore, it is understandable that these vassal kings took advantage of Bai Qingyan's presence in Zhou Dynasty to suddenly cause trouble.

Xiao Rongyan calculated Bai Qingyan's journey and guessed that King Xiping would definitely take action against Bai Qingyan. As expected, he quickly arrived in Xiping and found that King Xiping had come out in full force. He immediately ordered the guards to arrest all the family members of Prince Xiping's mansion. , originally planning to rush to discuss with Bai Qingyan, but unexpectedly they met Bai Jinzhi with reinforcements, and the two of them rushed to the rescue together.

Seeing the Xiping army in formation from afar, with heavy shield soldiers lined up blocking the way of reinforcements, Xiao Rongyan reined in his horse...

Bai Jinzhi also raised his hand and shouted for the soldiers to stop.

The Xiping Army originally thought that the Zhou Army would rush up immediately, but unexpectedly... the Zhou Army actually stopped. The general who ordered to block the Zhou reinforcements here looked at the man riding in the front, wearing a mask, and his eyes widened. Hurry up, Prince Regent!

He then looked at the woman standing on the side of the regent as he stepped forward, guessing that it was King Gaoyi of the Great Zhou Dynasty who escaped today, and his eyes narrowed.

Hearing the sound of fighting coming from the mountain, Bai Jinzhi became anxious and shouted: "Let you King Xiping come out!"

"Sure enough, the regent is colluding with Da Zhou behind his back. He has already committed treason!" The general ignored Bai Jinzhi and only looked at Xiao Rongyan. Anyway, there were not many Da Zhou reinforcements. Since the regent came to the door, he might as well send them here. The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty and the Regent went to the West together and asked them to go to Huangquan Road together. "The Regent is treason! Everyone will kill him! Whoever takes the regent's head today, I will personally ask for merit! Hundreds of gold or even ten thousand gold." Money is not a problem!”
