Server SkyVids Link 1186 Version 492

On the top of the willow tip on the moon, the 10,000-strong Nanliang army came to a place a few miles away from Yongjia City along the official road.

The cavalry who had been galloping all day and night were already exhausted, and there was a heavy shadow under the eyes of every soldier.

In this regard, Ikaluo is of course well aware, hesitating whether to let the army rest for a while before continuing to set off. In the current state of the army, even if they rushed to Yongjia City in a hurry, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to them.

At this moment, a steed galloped towards this side, and the scout in front of the road scout came back in a hurry, dismounted and clasped his fists and reported: "General, you can vaguely hear the sound of the southern border army attacking the city three miles ahead... Sound, the Southern Border Army seems to be hitting the city gate with a battering ram!" The scout swallowed, his expression solemn.

Regarding Yongjia City, Ikaluo couldn't be more clear. If Yongjia City hadn't taken the initiative to open the city gate and surrendered, I am afraid it would not have been so easy to win.

Therefore, he is sure that even if the troops are insufficient now, Yongjia City can be defended for at least three or five days.

He was not worried that Yongjia City would be captured so quickly, but while the Southern Border Army was sieging the city, it was a great opportunity to go for a sneak attack.

When the time comes, the Southern Border Army will be defeated without a doubt!

Ikaluo instructed the scout: "You guys continue to explore the road quickly!"

"Yes, Commander!" The scout clasped his fists to lead the order, got on his horse again, and galloped away.

Ikaluo's brows knitted together, and the original fatigue was swept away, and he ordered: "All officers and men, hurry up with this commander to support Yongjia City!"

It is necessary to kill the Southern Border Army by surprise!

"Yes, Commander!" Ten thousand cavalry responded in unison, cheering up.

Ikal raised his whip and slashed towards the black horse under his crotch. The black horse neighed in pain and let go of his hooves and started to accelerate.

The 10,000 cavalry behind him were also scrambling, "Ta Tata..." The sound of the horse's hooves became louder, like the continuous sound of muffled thunder...

After walking forward for about three miles, I heard shouts from the direction of Yongjia City, the sound of weapons being handed over, and the loud noise of battering rams hitting the city gate...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It seems that what the scout said is not bad, the Southern Border Army is indeed attacking the city!

A smug smile appeared on Ikaluo's face, and the whip was about to be pulled again when something suddenly flashed in his mind, and it felt that something was not quite right...

correct! The scouts who went to explore the way never came back!

Ikaluo felt a chill in his heart, and had a vague foreboding. Could it be that this is a trap! ?

The 10,000 cavalry I brought on this trip are the elite of the Nanliang army, and there must be no mistakes...

Ikal raised his hand to signal the army to slow down, and then ordered, "Send a few more scouts to investigate..."

"Yes, sir."

A dozen scouts rode their horses to Yongjia City, while the army stayed in place to rest...

At this moment, time passed very slowly. It was only a stick of incense, but it seemed like an hour had passed. Seeing that the scout had not returned for a long time, the ominous premonition in Ikaluo's heart was even stronger.

Suddenly, the personal soldier beside him pointed to the front and shouted: "Commander, it's the scout! The scout is back!"

Ikaluo's eyes lit up, and he looked in the direction the horses were coming from. He saw the scout crawling on the brown horse in a daze, teetering, as if he was about to fall off at any moment.

"Master! Master..." the scout shouted hoarsely, "It's a trap! Master, the scout ahead was ambushed, and all were destroyed. Only the villain managed to escape!" He said, "Yongjia City has been captured by the Southern Border Army!"

how is this possible? ! Ikaluo's pupils shrank sharply. With the terrain of Yongjia City being easy to defend and difficult to attack, how could it be captured in one day and one night? What the hell did that idiot Bamintu do? !

Once Yongjia City was lost, the great situation they had formed in the southern border with all their efforts was equivalent to destroying most of them.

Ikaluo's chest rose and fell violently. If Bamintu was in front of him at this moment, he would have slashed the opponent with a thousand swords!

Ikaluo clenched his fists and quickly calmed down.

Up to now, it is useless to worry about why Yongjia City fell!

At this moment, our soldiers are tired and exhausted, and it is really not suitable for a head-to-head confrontation with the Southern Border Army.

Only retreat? !

Ikaluo was really unwilling, he gritted his teeth tightly, and finally squeezed two words out of his teeth: "Withdraw!"

Ikaluo gave an order, and the Nanliang army turned around again and galloped away on the road.

Tens of thousands of iron hooves slammed down on the ground, the war horses were getting faster and faster, the hooves were deafening, and the dust was flying...

There are two dark woods on both sides of the official road. The dense leaves block the moonlight from the outside. The wood is dark, and you can't see your fingers. No one notices the pair of piercing eyes hidden in the woods.

Suddenly, a high-pitched whistle sounded, tearing apart the night sky.

The stumbling cables that were originally buried under the dust were suddenly tightened by the people hidden in the woods, and the stumbling cables rose, just catching the horse's hoof.

The nearly 1,000 war horses in front let out a mournful cry, took off into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. They even threw the cavalry on the horses like sandbags, and they fell all over the place. Some were even killed by the war horses. Pressed under him, he could only hear the neighing of the horse, the screams of people, the crisp sound of broken bones, and the sound of the crash.

What was even more terrifying was the chain reaction that followed. Thousands of war horses in the back could not avoid it, let alone stop, and were tripped over by the horses that fell to the ground in front. The waves fell like a tidal wave...

People shouted, horses neighed, mixed up and turned into a pot of porridge. The scene was very heroic and shocking.

Ikaluo, who was at the forefront, was also thrown away by the momentum of the horses flying out, but compared to most of the soldiers in the rear, his luck was not bad. impulse. Although his robe was stained with a lot of mud and sand, and there were a few small scratches on his face, his body was safe and sound.

When he got up and looked back, he felt a chill in his heart. The thousands of war horses and cavalry were all thrown to the ground, their war armors were dyed bright red with blood, and the injured war horse lay on the ground and neighed mournfully. endlessly...

There are so many tripwires buried here, it is obviously a trap that has been set a long time ago!

How could this be? !

The scouts... On the way to Yongjia City, the scouts marched ahead of the army, but now, because this road has just been passed, and the withdrawal is urgent, there is no more scouts to explore the way, so, so the prince of Zhennan will choose to be in Attack at this time?

Could it be that starting from Yanding City's request for help, step by step, game by game... All of this is the conspiracy of the Prince of Zhennan, and he was foolish enough to fall into the trap? !

As if answering the question in Ikaluo's heart, a messy footstep, mixed with shouts of killing, came from the woods not far behind.

"Come on!"

"kill!"

Numerous southern border troops wearing armor and wielding long knives gushed out from the deep forest like abyss, with an aura like a rainbow. The roar of the killing sound was like the roar of a beast, resounding through the earth, and the monstrous murderous aura was overwhelming...

The two armies fought frantically, the shields collided, the long knives staggered, this official road became a battlefield between the two armies, the horses neighed, the sound of killing was loud, and the scorching blood splattered the soldiers' heads and faces. .

There were dead and wounded, and blood was splattered everywhere.

It didn't take a moment for the blood to flow into rivers wherever he could see.

As the commander-in-chief, Ikaluo was naturally unscathed under the escort of a group of personal soldiers.

He clearly understood that the battle situation was not good for his side. Just now, he lost two or three thousand troops because of the horse fall. The remaining 7,000 troops were against nearly 10,000 troops of the Southern Border Army.

But the problem is-

The Southern Border Army is full of energy and has been resting for a long time, but after a day and a night of marching, they are exhausted and almost exhausted. Once the battle goes on for a long time, it will only reveal the fatigue of their Nanliang Army.

But now that the road ahead is blocked, and the rear is Yongjia City, which is occupied by the Southern Border Army, of course I can't throw myself into the net, there are wolves in front, tigers in the back...

No, I still have a way to live!

The map distribution of the southern border flashed in Ikaluo's mind, his spirits lifted, and he instructed the personal soldiers beside him.

The personal soldier immediately waved the flag vigorously and gave orders to the soldiers in the flag language.

The Nanliang army quickly moved. Whether there were horses or those without horses, they rushed into the woods on the right side of the official road like a tide. Although the woods were not good for marching, they were natural barriers and were not good for the pursuit of the enemy. .

But the woods are not the ultimate goal of Ikal.

According to Ikaluo's memory, there is a large hill in the southwest of Yongjia City, densely covered with woods and undulating. Once they occupy the hills as the commanding heights, they can look down on the enemy, observe the enemy's situation and suppress the enemy's army, control the initiative of the battlefield, and find a space for the army to breathe and rest...

That hill is their life!

"Drive!" Ikaluo, who was on a horse, took the lead, followed by the Nanliang army.

Soon, the green hills appeared in front, and the moonlight gently illuminated the road ahead...

Ikaluo was very happy at first, but then he tightly restrained the horse rope and stared up at the hill in disbelief.

I saw dozens of feet away, a large group of black troops from the southern border stood in front, and black flags embroidered with silver characters fluttered in the night wind, flamboyant and wanton!

A black repeating crossbow was aimed at the Nanliang army below like a dense swarm.

"Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers of the Southern Border Army waved their flags and shouted, and the shouts went straight to the sky, echoing in the sky, condensing and lingering...

...

...

"Flapping fluttering..."

The sound of the bird flapping its wings made the youth in green on the eaves suddenly open his eyes, and a piece of gray feathers fluttered and fell down, which happened to land on the tip of Xiao Si's nose, making him almost sneeze. .

While picking up the gray feather, he sat up and twitched the corners of his eyes.

It's that arrogant gray eagle again!

Eagles follow people's power, it knows what it does not dare to do to it, right? !

Xiao Si's lips pursed into a straight line, planning to teach the eagle a lesson one day, avoiding the young master.

"Flapping fluttering..."

There was another sound of birds flapping their wings, accompanied by a loud hawk cry, Xiao Si squinted slightly and followed the sound.

Above the bamboo forest directly in front, a gray eagle hovered in the blue sky, but Xiao Si's eyes fell on a white dove in front of it. The poor white pigeon fluttered its wings with difficulty, desperately trying to escape, while the grey eagle seemed to be playing with it, approaching and pecking at the wings of the white dove, and then deliberately falling behind, proudly watching the white dove fleeing ahead. ...

Of course that gray eagle is Xiao Yiyang's little gray!

Xiao Si's entire face turned black.

The homing pigeons raised by the son are all marked, and Xiao Si knew at a glance that it was his own homing pigeon.

If there is a master, there must be an eagle. This stupid eagle actually bullied their carrier pigeon!

Xiao Si swiftly walked over the tiles, and then flew down toward the bamboo forest without hesitation, like a roc spreading its wings.

His light toes rested on a sturdy bamboo pole. The bamboo pole curved in a graceful arc in the other direction, and then bounced back. Xiaosi used his strength to fly towards the white dove, grabbed it with his right hand, and followed With his left hand, he hugged another bamboo pole next to him.

"Susususu..."

The swaying sound of the bamboo leaves was intertwined with Xiao Hui's unwilling eagle cries, and Xiao Hui turned a half circle above Xiao Si, as if complaining about why Xiao Si wanted to grab his toys.

Xiao Si glared at it angrily, didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, grabbed the white dove in his right hand, slid down the bamboo pole, and landed lightly on the ground.

On weekdays, he took off the small bamboo tube tied to the leg of the carrier pigeon and let the carrier pigeon go, but at this moment Xiaohui was still staring at him not far away, and Xiaosi simply carried the white pigeon into the house.

In the study, Guan Yubai sat casually on a rosewood armchair by the window. He wore a simple lake-colored straight robe, and his jet-black hair was casually tied with a ribbon of the same color. The scissors are slowly pruning a pot of evergreen with green branches and leaves.

The breeze blew in through the window, blowing a strand of black hair on his cheek, and the end of the hair brushed on the shallow smile at the corner of his mouth, which was quiet and beautiful.

"Crack clap..."

In the room, only the scissors made a fine sound from time to time, which was obviously monotonous and almost boring, but for some reason it exuded a quiet and leisurely feeling.

In fact, Xiao Si didn’t even know what the young master was repairing. In his opinion, even if he didn’t prune, these bonsais would still look good, but the young man said that the flowers and trees are divided into seven parts and three parts are cut, and the only way is to cut off those unnecessary The miscellaneous branches and dead leaves can make the pruning plants grow better...

Obviously, the son was talking about pruning potted plants at that time, but for some reason, Xiao Si felt that the son meant something.

"Cuckoo..."

The carrier pigeon cooed restlessly in his hands, Xiao Si quickly took off the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, and said, "Sir, Xiao Shizi's carrier pigeon has arrived."

Guan Yu responded with a "click", and trimmed another branch.

He looked at it, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and then put the scissors in his hand beside the bonsai, picked up the white towel on the side and wiped his hands, then took the small bamboo tube and opened the sealing wax Then, the silk paper folded into strips was taken out.

Guan Yubai's slender and fair fingers spread the silk paper slowly.

This plan started from the discovery of the Nanliang people in Maofeng Town, released the nine kings, and ordered the God Arm Battalion to set up an ambush in the Linghua Gorge not just to attack the Nanliang army before it, but just to be able to use the remaining soldiers The name was mixed into Yongjia City.

Use the nine kings to transfer the Nanliang coach and the army, and reconcile the inside and the outside, first take Yongjia City, then ambush the Nanliang coach who returned to help, and finally attack Huiling City on both sides to capture Yanding City...

A plan is a plan, and it can progress so smoothly, thanks to Yi's bravery and skill! Otherwise, it's just talk on paper.

Little Si doesn't need to ask, just looking at the young master's smiling eyes, he knows that this must be good news - it seems that he has won the battle!

Guan Yubai folded the silk paper back again and handed it over to Xiao Si: "Send it to Bixiaotang."

Xiao Si responded and was about to turn around and leave, when he heard a familiar eagle cry outside the window.

He paused for a moment and looked out the window. Sure enough, the stupid eagle stopped on the branch outside the window at some point, and his icy and sharp eagle eyes stared at it for a while, no, it should be said that his hand carrier pigeon.

One person and one eagle stared at each other for a long time, and finally Xiao Si moved first, and directly locked the carrier pigeon in the cage of the study, and then left without expression.

Guan Yubai shook his head amusingly, picked up the scissors that were put aside, and cut them slowly, knife after knife.

One knife after another, so cautious, as if what he was facing was not a small pot of evergreen, but a priceless treasure...

Not long after, the secret letter sent by Xiao Si quickly passed Baihui's hand to Bixiaotang.

Nangong Yue almost tremblingly opened the thin silk paper, and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.

Ayi is safe in front of him, and he has recovered Yongjia City and Yanding City one after another!

Nangong Yue stared at the few words on the silk paper, her eyes crooked like crescent moons with a smile, and her jet-black pupils were full of brilliance.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but read the letter again and again, feeling as if a sweet breeze was passing through her heart, and her eyes were bright.

"Baihui..." Nangong Yue put away the silk paper, and smiled happily, "The victory of the prince is a happy event, you go and tell the cashier that the whole house will reward a naked silver boy!"

The few big maids on the side looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. The princess was overjoyed.

Baihui blessed her body and said with a smile, "Then the servant will thank the imperial concubine on behalf of the palace." After a pause, she added, "But the servant thinks it's better to wait a few more days for the good news to come. talk later."

Nangong Yue was stunned, with a shy smile on her face, she cleared her throat and said, "Let's talk about it in a few days." She was so excited that she forgot that the official good news had not come yet. Also, it's not too much of a publicity right now.

"Yes, Concubine Shizi." The three maids responded in unison, looking at each other with a smile.

Concubine Shizi has always been calm and calm, and probably only when it comes to Shiziye will you see the different side of Concubine Shizi from usual. In fact, this is not bad... After all, the princess is only fifteen years old.

Nangong Yue was still a little excited, she didn't know what to do, she carefully folded the silk paper and put it in a small box made of red sandalwood, she suddenly had an idea in her heart and said excitedly: "Baihui , call me from the cloth workshop tomorrow, I want to choose some materials for the prince to make some clothes and two pairs of shoes..."

The weather in southern Xinjiang was so hot, she forgot that it was mid-September, and it was autumn soon, so she had to make some new clothes for Yi!

Baihui responded with a smile, while Thrush said with a smile, "Concubine Shizi, this servant will take the soles of your shoes. Although this servant is clumsy and not good at embroidering, the soles of your shoes are still good. Sister Baihui and Sister Queer both praised A servant."

Queer teased at the side: "It's not that you are good at taking it, it's that you are strong enough." Taking soles is a laborious job. Thrush was used to doing farm work at home when he was a child, and his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary girls.

Nangong Yue and Baihui were both amused, laughter filled the room, and the atmosphere was very light.

Nangong Yue thought of something, and said again: "Que'er, you go to Ting Yu Pavilion to see if the guests are still there?" Nangong Yue planned to quietly tell Mrs. Fang the good news of the great victory ahead before the good news came. Presumably his old man will be very happy to know that Yi has won the battle.

It was a bit unfortunate today that Mrs. Fang happened to have a guest there - in order to congratulate the King of Zhennan, the fourth room of the Fang family just arrived in Luoyue City yesterday, so today, the patriarch of the Fang family, Mrs. Fang Fourth, came to Bixiaotang to visit Mrs. Fang.

"Yes, Concubine Shizi." Que'er led the order to Tingyu Pavilion.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, a little maid immediately greeted them and called out affectionately, "Sister Que'er."

Queer smiled and greeted the little maid, and then asked, "Is the guest still there?"

The little girl looked back subconsciously and said, "It's still inside."

Que'er frowned slightly. As far as she knew, the Fang family's four-bedroom group came more than an hour ago. After chatting for so long, it should be almost the same, right? It's not that she wants to evict guests, it's just that Mr. Fang's physical condition makes it really unfit to be tired.

Queer followed the line of sight of the little maid and glanced into the room from a distance. In addition to the old Mrs. Fang at the top, there was an old man, a middle-aged man and a boy of seven or eight years old in the main room.

The old man was over sixty years old, with gray hair and beard, and looked very kind and kind. Judging from his age, he must be Mr. Fang Si.

From Que'er's distance, I couldn't hear what everyone in the room was saying, but looking at the fake smiles on their faces obviously wouldn't be a good thing.

Queer stared at them for a long time, wishing she could speak lips.

"Big Brother," Mrs. Fang Si stroked his beard. Thinking of the ambiguity about the adoption of the elder brother just now, Mr. Fang Si was actually a little unhappy, but he thought that adoption could not be accomplished in one or two days. It was the key to his visit today.

Thinking of this, Mr. Fang Si deliberately paused for a while, and then said hesitantly, "Little brother has something to discuss with eldest brother... It is related to our Fang family."

Mrs. Fang said politely, "If you have something to say, the fourth brother will say it directly."

Grandpa Fang Si rationalized his thoughts and said in a low voice, "Big brother, the palace and our Fang family have been getting farther and farther apart over the past year, and my niece is not favored by the prince anymore. My brother thinks that we should find a way to enhance the friendship between the two palaces. It's..." The niece he was referring to was Xiao Fang.

Fang Si's grandfather still has to face, and his words are quite subtle, but the meaning behind them is obvious.

Mr. Fang is not a fool, he understood it immediately, and his face almost didn't hold back. Wangfu and Fangfu go further and further apart? ! Ridiculous, really ridiculous! Aren't the three of them Xiao Yi, Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei the best flesh-and-blood connection between the Wangfu and Fangfu?

A sarcastic gleam flashed in Mrs Fang's eyes. The third room had such a scandal that day, and he sent someone to invite the fourth brother to come over to correct the family style, but no one came for a long time.

He has been paralyzed on the couch for so many years, and it has long been a matter of right and wrong, and his brothers have long been different from those of the year... Each and everyone has become obsessed with interests!

Seeing that Mr. Fang didn't talk to him, Mr. Fang Si's face froze for a moment, and he thought: "His words are so plain. Could it be that he has become stupid after lying down for so many years?"

Grandpa Fang Si took a sip from the tea cup, and finally resisted the embarrassment and said, "Brother, you are the father-in-law of the prince and the grandfather of A Yi, you can speak in front of the prince and A Yi. "..." After a pause, he said in a buoyant manner, "For the future of our Fang family, it is best to marry another girl from the Fang family and enter the palace, and be the concubine for the prince or Yi... Of course, it is better to give to Yi. "

Grandpa Fang did not speak, and his heart sank to the bottom. Such a brazen words, his fourth brother is also embarrassed to say.

Grandpa Fang Si didn't notice the unhappiness on his face, and continued in a persuasive manner: "Brother, Yi has been in the capital for all these years, and has become completely estranged from the Fang family. The prince concubine Yi came from the capital. , of course, towards her parents' family. The descendants born in the future will only be farther and farther away from the Fang family in terms of blood and family. Only the girls of our Fang family are of one heart with the Fang family, and the Zhennan palace and the Fang family will be Generations of closeness..."
