Rebellious officials bow their heads

Before Xie Linze could answer these words, there was a sound of galloping horseshoes in the distance, and an anxious voice came from far to near, "Your Majesty——Fei Lianshu has brought soldiers and horses to kill Lingzhou!"

The scout who summoned the messenger was so flustered that he fell into the snow from his horse and didn't care to get up. He said anxiously: "I have been chasing all the way. I only found your Majesty when I saw the long smoke. Now General Zheng Yun is leading troops to resist. But I'm afraid it won't last long!"

The atmosphere changed suddenly, the expressions of the three people were different, Xie Linze squinted his eyes dangerously, and scolded the wolf cavalry for attacking first, and took Lingzhou by surprise overnight, and they hadn't deployed their defenses yet, so it must be difficult to face Fei Lianshu's offensive.

"Your Majesty, there is also news from the frontline scouts that Qingci is in the Beiluo army and has defected to the enemy and treasoned the country. He also gave Fei Lianshuling the defense map of the North City..."

He Liancheng immediately turned his head and said to Xie Linze: "Let me tell Fei Lianshu that it will definitely stop..."

"Don't think about it." Xie Linze interrupted him, "If I don't take Lingzhou, Fei Lianshu will attack Lingbei. This war can no longer be stopped by the superiors. The only thing we can do now is to kill Provoke the source of the war and avoid further expansion of the war."

He Liancheng gritted his teeth, and there was no trace of panic on his face. After all, he is the king of Beirao. He was naturally unwilling to be annoyed by the enemy's attack. People? Is it 10 or [-]? Not to mention that the commander Pang Qing is not here, so you are so sure that you can defeat Beiluo?"

Xie Linze sneered, "Don't you know that soldiers are more expensive than elites, and besides, my surname is Xie, so why should Pang Qing be there?"

He stopped looking at King Beirao behind him, turned around and walked towards the team, Ji Han moved to follow, and a group of people got on their horses, He Liancheng saw a few soldiers walking towards him, holding a scimitar defensively to block him forward.

The voice of Dao Feng sounded, Xie Linze looked sideways slightly, "You are already a dead person according to the rumors, now you don't want to really become a corpse, do you?"

Xie Linze was surrounded by solemn guards, and He Liancheng looked at each other with tense nerves. The ease of making jokes in Wangcheng disappeared, replaced by the gaps in power and identity that had been accumulated between the two countries for many years.

"When this war is over, you may have a chance to regain the kingship. Until then, it's better not to act rashly."

After Xie Linze finished speaking, He Liancheng stopped struggling needlessly and was tied up and taken away by the guards. The group left Yingcheng non-stop and rushed to Lingzhou.

Going back to the city from the mountains, the battle has come to an end, the cavalry scolding the wolf did not confront the Beiluo army head-on, and sent people to guard the city.

In order to prevent the battalion generals from meeting He Liancheng and hacking him to death, Xie Linze asked people to put him in a sack and bring him into the city.

Zheng Yun came to report the military situation, Xie Linze sat on the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, and quickly calculated in his mind, long before the late emperor was assassinated, the relationship between the two countries was constantly deteriorating, He Liancheng As soon as the news of his death spread, Bei Rao was in chaos, but Fei Lianshu was cunning and used hatred to suppress the chaos. This war was inevitable.

Fortunately, now that He Liancheng has been caught, the wolf leader Fei Lianshu has been dealt with, and the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals are all within controllable range, let He Liancheng go back and clean up.

But the premise is that this war must not be lost. Now the whole world knows that the two countries are going to war, to stabilize the imperial power, to stabilize the hearts of the people, and to destroy the ambitions of the Beiluo people, it all depends on the outcome.

Xie Linze couldn't afford to lose.

He practiced martial arts with old general Mu since he was a child, and he is familiar with the art of war. This is the first time he has led an army to fight. He was caught by surprise when he was able to take Lingzhou, but now that the enemy army has completed its preparations, it is different.

There are still [-] garrison troops in Lingbei City, and their speed is not as fast as that of Scout Wolf Cavalry. Zheng Yun has already sent a letter, and it will take half a day for them to rush over.

Now the enemy to face is not only Fei Lianshu, but also Qingci. Once this battle is lost, not only Lingbei will fall, but even Yushui in the rear will not be spared.

Xie Linze frowned, and told Zheng Yun, "Pay attention to patrolling at night, and beware of night attacks by the Beiluo army."

Zheng Yun followed the order.

He sat alone in the room, the candle was like beans, and his figure was projected on the wall.

There was silence everywhere, his thoughts were like waves, uncontrollable, Xie Linze was a little cold, Flosan had remained in his body for several years, and he could still feel the numbness spreading along the bone marrow. While thinking about the war, At the same time, he was estimating how long he could live.

In the past, Xie Linze never cared about these things. He lingered for too long, but death was a kind of relief, and it was as light as a feather to him.

Now he is regretting his life instead, his mind is full of the back of a man leaving, he is still unwilling to be reconciled, thinking that the other party will definitely return to Li Town after the war, and will he have a chance to go back after the war...

Soon he cut off this idea again, suppressed his thoughts, and secretly ridiculed how far he had come, and was still full of delusions.

The sky outside the window changed from dark to slightly bright, and he sat for a whole night until his scouts rushed to report that the Beiluo army was ready to attack the city.

Xie Linze walked up the tower quickly, and a black line in the distance kept approaching. He originally went down to lead the troops to resist, but Zheng Yun and others tried their best to dissuade him, so he stayed on top to direct the battle.

But the situation is more complicated than he imagined. Fighting with a brave team like the Beiluo Army, the tactics are quickly interrupted by brutality. The battlefield is simply a mess, which is quite difficult to control. The wolf cavalry gradually fell into a weak position.

Xie Linze forced himself to calm down. Compared with the Beiluo army, the biggest advantage of the rebuking wolf cavalry is to obey the military orders efficiently. He raised his hand to signal the orderly, "Retreat."

Turning his gaze to the side, "Get ready."

The sound of the horn sounded, and the scattered cavalry on the ground were like ink dots. Because of this sound, they retreated. The repelling wolf cavalry who had approached shot towards the Beiluo army in the distance.

Thousands of black arrows left the string, almost covering the sky and the sun, giving people an illusion that the end is coming, and then fell in dense numbers.

The Beiluo soldier who was chasing the Wolf Scout cavalry and who was closest to him opened his pupils wide in horror. The next moment, the arrow feathers wrapped in the sound of the wind pierced him through. There were screams one after another, and countless soldiers were killed or injured.

After the first wave of arrow rain passed, Xie Linze continued to speak: "The two wings spread out to pursue."

Tens of thousands of people moved in unison, spreading out to the two wings like black ants. He originally wanted to surround the Beiluo army from both sides, but the opponent was uncharacteristically, as if they knew the deployment very well, and suddenly all retreated back.

Xie Linze frowned slightly, looking thoughtfully at the army stationed in the distance, I am afraid that from this moment on, the person playing chess with him will have changed from Fei Lianshu to Qingci.

He didn't remember whether Qing Ci had ever heard the teachings of Old General Mu, but he had read those military books one by one.

Xie Linze couldn't let Fei Lianshu go, let alone let him go.

The two armies were fighting inseparably. Fei Lianshu led his troops to fight out. The opponent seemed to have no intention of procrastinating any longer. He tried to fight out several times with the wolf scolding cavalry, but was strictly blocked, almost strangled.

The situation was urgent, Xie Linze didn't stay where he was, he put on his armguards and armor, and said to a group of soldiers who were worried about his safety and stopped him: "Back off."

"Your Majesty! The battlefield is extremely dangerous, you must not go on the battlefield in person..."

"If something goes wrong with your safety, your subordinates will die!"

"Your Majesty, please ask your subordinates to rescue General Zheng!"

When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, General Pi hurried up, and before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the [-] garrison troops from Lingbei have arrived in Lingzhou!"

The generals present breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that there are troops to contend with, Xie Linze did not relax because of this, Qing Ci must be very clear that Bei Rao can only fight quickly, if it continues to drag on, Dazhao's reinforcements will only increase, and the enemy's next offensive will surely Very violent.

As the Lingbei garrison surged up like a flood, the scolding wolf cavalry, mobilized by Xie Linze, reorganized their formation and charged again.

Instead of standing on the tower, he ordered the formation that he had made before, and took this opportunity to go down to the battlefield and kill the enemy with the army.

The Beiluo army attacked, and the repelling wolf cavalry gradually dispersed. The distance between the queues was two or three battles. Huge and dazzling at first glance.

When the Beiluo army really fought against it, they realized that the opponent's formation was illusory, and the weak point seemed vulnerable, but they couldn't attack the real point, and instead let themselves go in.

Qingci was riding on the horse, seeing through the chaotic appearance of the scolding wolf iron cavalry but actually stable, the military vehicles looked chaotic but were actually moving forward, making the orderly military vehicles and soldiers deliberately make noisy noises, so that the enemy was deeply confused and disrupted. original deployment.

He ordered the scouts to send a message to Fei Lianshu. The scouts immediately found Zuo Xianwang from the chaotic battlefield. A biting killing intent struck from the back of his head.

The cold air pierced through his skull like a burst of silver needles, and the intuition of countless deaths on the battlefield made him suddenly turn sideways, and then he saw the sharp edge of the sword approaching.

He turned his gaze, and was surprised to find that it was Xie Linze who had passed through many enemy formations!

The man arrived on horseback, his attack undiminished, and he swept again in an instant!

Fei Lianshu immediately raised the halberd in his hand. The strength of the man's slender fingers in an instant was unimaginable. Hearing the two strike each other made a deafening bang, Fei Lianshu's ears immediately buzzed!But he didn't dare to let go of his hand for a moment, and pressed against the edge of the sword firmly.

What made him even more astonished was that within a few breaths, the halberd made the sound of being about to break!

At this moment, the Beiluo soldiers who reacted around surrounded them, and at the same time, arrows pierced through the air and flew towards them!

Xie Linze turned his sword and cut off the arrow.

As soon as Fei Lianshu's pressure was relieved, he retreated in a hurry and ordered his soldiers to attack.

Dozens of people came to kill with knives, Xie Linze showed no panic on his face, instead of retreating, he rode his horse forward.

Someone next to him stabbed obliquely with a spear, Xie Linze only hooked his foot on the stirrup, leaned to the left, narrowly avoiding the tip of the opponent's knife, and sent his sword into his chest.

When the sword edge was pulled out, hot blood gushed out, covering half of the man's face.

Fei Lianshu watched Xie Lin approaching, and everyone who was three feet away from him fell under the sword, as if entering a land without people, the horror in his heart almost overflowed his face.

He didn't have time to react, Xie Linze was already close at hand, jumped up, and landed heavily on his horse's back, Fei Lianshu pretended to draw a knife, while suddenly launching the hidden weapon in the other hand!

The dense silver needles went straight to the door. Xie Linze spun his sword very quickly and slammed it to block it, but he still couldn't dodge it completely. Regardless of the pain in his shoulder, he didn't retreat at all. The sword edge flashed coldly and pierced into the opponent heart location!

The splashed blood was soaked in the snow, Fei Lianshu's breath was dissipated in the cold wind, and the corpse fell down like a sack.

All dust settled.

Xie Linze squatted halfway, and pulled out the sword edge stuck in the bone, the wound on his shoulder gradually bleed out, and the pain came one after another.

When he was about to deal with the silver needle pierced into the wound, he seemed to feel something, suddenly raised his head, and saw Qing Ci in the distance through the constantly surging army, and the two people's eyes fell on the same line.

The distance was too far, he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, he only knew that the other person was looking at him.

With Fei Lianshu's death, this war came to an end, and Qing Cilian's last chance to stand up also disappeared, which can be described as a crushing defeat.

Seeing him leave, Xie Linze quickly got on his horse, grabbed the bow and arrow from the ground and chased after him.

The wind and snow were flying all over the sky, almost drowning Qingci's figure. The two of them were advancing rapidly one after the other. Letting him escape would cause another disaster. Xie Linze put the arrow on the bow and tightened the string. The influence of the speed is too great, and several consecutive arrows did not hit the opponent.

Finally, the passing arrow pierced the horse's leg, and the black horse neighed suddenly, then fell down, and Qingci rolled from the horse's back into the snow.

Xie Linze also reined in, and got off the horse to prepare to end the opponent's life. He walked forward, but felt that the wound on his shoulder seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the pain like ants gnawed on his nerves.

Fei Lianshu's hidden weapon must be poisonous, he realized this and stopped, raised his hand to press his shoulder, and clenched his teeth to suppress the spread of severe pain.

Qingci stood up from the snow, and his condition was not so good. Frosan's poison could not be undone, tormenting him all the time. At this moment, his face was pale, and he could still laugh out loud. He drew his sword in between.

Xie Linze knew that they only had one chance, either you die or I live.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and the wind whizzed up in all directions, raising snow and dust, the clothes of the two people were billowing, and the sword in their hands reflected the cold light.
