Shiqing does not regret

In the first month of the first year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen (Quanzhong), the Jiedu envoy of Xuanwu, Xuanyi, Tianping, and Huguo, threatened Emperor Zhaozong to move the capital to Luoyang, destroying all the palaces and houses in Chang'an.The bustling city of Chang'an, which was once prosperous and has been designated as the capital of many dynasties and generations, was shrouded in thick smoke, and it was a dilapidated, desolate and dilapidated scene.

Fortunately, Li Chong was left behind as the garrison officer who stayed in Chang'an. Although Zhu Wen was unwilling and helpless in every way, he couldn't stand Li Chong's stubbornness and the stubbornness of Li Tang's nobles, so he left some stubborn old Li Tangs behind. down.

Thousands of miles away, the boundary of Pingzhou is still full of flames of war, and there is no slack in the slightest.

Perhaps because of the heavy snowfall for several days and nights, the weather seems to be getting warmer.

Dugu Cheng and Yan Shu had already taken advantage of the nightfall yesterday to lead two armies to attack the two camps of Khitan overnight. At that time, there were thousands of troops and horses, and the number of people they brought could not be underestimated.

A round of bright moon, which has not yet fully appeared in the pale sky, peeked out, shining bright light on the white snow, shining in the eyes of the generals.

"My lord, General Dugu only allows us to bring [-] cavalry. We must be careful on this trip." Li Changan swung his whip vigorously, and the horses stomped on the ground as vigorously as flying, making a sound of trampling.Although the spies reported that the northwest camp was the weakest area of ​​Khitan's defense, and the number of soldiers was only over [-], but obviously the number of troops they brought did not have any advantage in numbers. Can be unpredictable.That Dugucheng made such a move is really not what a gentleman would say, the soldiers and horses he led clearly had the upper hand, but let them fight an uncertain battle.Thinking of this, Li Changan couldn't help but make Li Changan's teeth itch with hatred, but as a corporal, he naturally had some complaints that he couldn't express.

"Don't talk too much, in this situation, we just need to be careful!" Yan Shu looked up, and could vaguely see the outline of the camp not far away, but felt that the wind was chilly, pouring into the armor, adding to the coolness.

The small gap in the northwest corner splits the continuous mountains from the middle, and there is an indescribable sense of disobedience. A faint moonlight shines on the gap, illuminating the interpretation of the surroundings. From a distance, there is a tranquility deep.

No, there is no sound at all in this camp, and there is not even a light.Yan Shu was puzzled, so he gave the order to stop, and listened carefully to the movement of the Northwest Que, suddenly raised his hand, and gave an order: "Everyone hide on both sides of the mountain, and the archers are ready. When I give an order, ten thousand arrows will come together Sent in the Khitan camp."

"No, please follow the instructions." The three thousand archers were ordered to respond in unison.Hearing this, all the soldiers quickly clenched their weapons and quickly hid towards a corner of the mountain, with extreme caution.

All of a sudden, the Khitan camp in Xibeifen was suddenly brightly lit, and after a while, soldiers came out to patrol and watch, and everything returned to normal.Yan Shu saw that the soldiers of the Khitan camp were patrolling slowly at this time, which seemed to be a sign of letting down their vigilance.Suddenly he waved his long halberd in the air and gave a loud order: "Archers get ready, point your bows and arrows at the Northwest Que camp. Tonight we will set fire to the Khitan camp and illuminate the Northwest Que."

The archers got the order, and the torches suddenly came together, thousands of bows and arrows suddenly turned into thousands of rockets, and the rockets were on the strings, only to hear Yan Shu shouting "let the arrows!", thousands of rockets gathered towards the Khitan camp like a rain of arrows , The rocket shot at the Khitan camp and instantly ignited a raging fire, dyeing the entire northwest corner red.

This sound is wrong!Yan Shu listened to the sound of rain of arrows swaying down and the sound of fire crackling, and secretly screamed that it was not good. She could tell from the sound that there were not many people in the camp, could it be true that there were so few people?

Oops, fell for it.By the time Yan Shu realized it, it was probably too late. At some point, there were suddenly many silver-armored Khitan soldiers on the mountain, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.Sure enough, when they came up with the idea of ​​a sneak attack, the Khitans also thought of this method.However, at first glance, the people all over the mountains and plains are all Khitan people, there are quite a lot of people, there are only [-] soldiers and horses, it is clear... this Dugucheng!

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"The archers continue, don't stop!" A familiar female voice resounded through the mountains, issuing orders, and it was naturally Yelu Qingwu.Khan was really good at predicting things, he actually found out that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were planning to attack their Khitan camp at night, so he sent someone to guard here overnight, the purpose is to invite you into the urn.Still, she lowered her face and begged Khan hard to get this good job. It was really satisfying to see Datang Army being caught off guard by them.Especially looking at that person's bewildered look, it was suddenly funny.

The arrows shot down from the mountain mercilessly. Firstly, due to the lack of arrows of the Tang soldiers, most of the arrows dealt with the empty battalion just now. There are so many, unexpected, and they are at a disadvantage.A rain of arrows swept across the sky and covered the sky, and Tang soldiers were killed and injured countless times.

As soon as the array of arrows dissipated, they heard Khitan armored soldiers suddenly rushing down from the mountainside like thousands of horses, waving knives and halberds, and the sound of weapons rubbing against each other was quite intimidating.

Obviously such a huge Khitan army has exceeded her expected range, and the Khitan soldiers falling from the sky made it too late for Tang Bing to defend.Seeing this, Yan Shu was afraid that the casualties would be even more serious, so he looked around again and saw the dark valley of Friendship in front of him, so he said: "Retreat, all the troops hide in the valley." The valley is a famous swamp area, in the dark night It is extremely difficult to move forward, and it is an unselected place for the army to station.Now, there are chasing soldiers in front, and there is no chance of retreating. Yan Shu can only think of how to escape.

The soldiers were ordered, but they didn't have time to think about whether the swamp was suitable or not, so they hurriedly fled to the dark swamp under the leadership of Yan Shu.

Yelu Qingwu saw Tang soldiers fleeing in all directions, running towards the dark swamp, he was anxious, and wanted to order to continue chasing Tang soldiers.

Seeing this, the Khitan general who was assisting him hurriedly stopped him and said: "No, princess. The swamp ahead is low-lying and wet. If people go in, they will die, and if our army attacks aggressively, the gain will outweigh the loss! Don't worry, princess, they won't be able to escape. After the swamp, there is already a steep and dangerous peak, no one can climb it, and now Tang Bing is just fighting the trapped beast, we will wait until dawn to deal with it!"

Yelu Qingwu heard the words, so he gave up by chance.Damn it, she couldn't catch that person with her own hands. She would definitely capture that person alive by dawn, but this time he would definitely not be able to escape.

……

"General, in the swamp ahead, we can't go any further." A pioneer scout turned back along the muddy mountain stream, cupped his fists in front of Yan Shu, and reported.

When Yan Shu heard this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly stopped.Her feet were already feeling wet, and the combat boots under her feet were already full of mud and water, which was even more penetrating in this cold weather.Turning around, he looked at the soldiers who followed her into the mountain stream, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.I blame myself for being too careless, otherwise how could I have fallen into Khitan's scheme?Today, advancing is a swamp, retreating is chasing soldiers.They have come to a dilemma, what should they do!Damn, why are there so many Khitan soldiers? Could it be that there are really traitors? But now, she thinks it's too late, the important thing is how to get out!

He raised his head, looked at the faint bright moon still hanging in the sky, and looked along the mountain range closest to him. They look strong and strong, but most of them are adult men recruited for military service. Naturally, they don't have much martial arts. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to rush up this mountain.Self-escape does not work.Thinking of this, Yan Shu was inexplicably upset.

At this time, Li Changan, who was following him, also saw Yan Shu's thoughts, walked up to Yan Shu, and said in a low voice: "If climbing the mountain and escaping is not feasible, why don't you please go back and ask for help!" He believed in Yan Shu. When he was in the West School Field, he saw Yan Shu pull the big bow that weighed more than [-] catties with his own eyes. How could an ordinary man possess that kind of strength, and he knew that Yan Shu still had some real skills.

Yan Shu's heart warmed when she heard Li Changan's words. Perhaps only Li Changan knew her thoughts.If she used her lightness skills, it would be more than enough to climb this mountain, but... suddenly, her eyes lit up, she looked thoughtfully at the burly and powerful man in front of her, and then said: "As a general, naturally you have to climb up the mountain." I lived and died with the soldiers, now, how can I abandon my brothers, now that I think about it, the person who can ask for help on my behalf is none other than General Li, and I will trust you." As he spoke, he suddenly felt a little surprised at Li Changan Eyes, said in a stern voice: "General Li, listen to the order!" The voice is majestic, making people stand solemnly.

Hearing this, Li Chang'an suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general is here."

"You go to General Dugu for help, and you will return at dawn."

"The final general obeys orders!" Li Chang'an got the order and hurriedly complied.Looking up, he could see the trust and entrustment in Yan Shu's bright and clear eyes, and with a firm heart, he stood up and walked towards the steep and steep mountain.

……

Dugucheng brought thousands of troops here, taking advantage of the night, they were invincible.However, due to the cunning of the Khitan army, they still adopted defensive tactics, neither actively attacking nor passively defending, so the battle between the two armies has always been carried out in a calm atmosphere.

"General Dugu..."

A cry for help interrupted Dugucheng who was about to direct the battle situation. When Dugucheng heard someone calling him, he turned around in doubt, and found a panting Tang soldier not far away. Recently, Dugucheng can see his appearance, isn't this the low-level soldier who bumped into him before?Then his face turned pale for a moment, and he said coldly: "Why are you so flustered?" If he remembered correctly, isn't this person following Yan Shu?Why did you come to this place again?

"Our army was ambushed by Khitan soldiers in the northwest camp. The number of Khitan soldiers in the northwest camp was at least twice that of our army. Our army was only [-], outnumbered, and suffered heavy casualties. General Yan led the rest of the soldiers into hiding. We are waiting for rescue, I hope General Dugu can send troops to support." After finishing speaking, Li Changan knelt down with a plop, with an anxious expression on his face.He has tried his best to rush over here, and if possible, he should be able to rush back at [-]:[-].

Dugu Cheng was terrified when he heard the words, and instantly understood the current battle situation.No wonder, he felt that Khitan's fighting power was strange tonight, wasn't it very strong in the past?Thinking about it now, all the doubts in his heart have been resolved, Khitan is deliberately delaying time, deliberately dealing with them.After Dugucheng figured it out, he just wanted to give an order, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't speak for a long time.If, this time, he doesn't rescue Yan Shu, that person will die.

For some reason, Dugu Cheng's mind was full of this terrible thought.If he doesn't save Yan Shu, that person will disappear in front of him forever, in front of Xi'er, then he and Xi'er... Thinking of this, Dugu Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, his conversation changed, and he squinted at Li Changan: "Now victory is in sight, and we are fighting fiercely with the Khitan's main force. How can we call in reinforcements? Come on, gather all the troops for me, and go straight to the Khitan's main camp!" As he spoke, he rode forward and charged forward with arrows on his back. Picking up the arrow, he swiftly took it over, opened the bow and crossbow wide, and the long arrow drew a sharp arc in the air, hitting a Khitan warrior, it was quite spectacular.

Seeing this, the soldiers couldn't help but their morale was greatly shaken. After receiving the command from the general, tens of thousands of cavalry armed with long spears rushed towards the Khitan main camp and started a new round of fighting.

Li Changan saw that Dugu Cheng did it on purpose, and ignored his words. He was angry and hated, and wanted to tear Dugu Cheng into pieces, but Dugu Cheng led his troops to ride away...
