Three days later, in Xiazhou City, the sunny days finally took over.The hot sun in summer seems to make an oath of sovereignty, making the daytime temperature continue to rise.

The only consolation is at night, the night temperature in the plains and valleys is not high, even a little cool.

But the corpses in the moat rotted, because the suspension bridge was blown up, and the soldiers in the city had to come down the ropes to deal with the corpses in the moat.

At the front, the bodies of cavalrymen and dead horses on both sides were cleaned up by the besieging troops.

The two sides had a tacit understanding. In the past three days, except for blowing up the suspension bridge, they did not fire a single shot, let alone shot an arrow at the soldiers cleaning up the corpses.

Broken military flags, scimitars and broken halberds, as well as the corpses of sergeants who had wrestled together before death, were buried in huge excavated pits.

In the tent that was tall and airy on all sides, Helian Tianjiao, Shu Yu and Helian Zilong were sitting in the tent drinking tea together.

"How is General Xiao?" Helian Tianjiao asked concerned.

"He slept for two days before waking up. It will be better. A spiritual position has been set up in the barracks." Shu Yu couldn't continue, and lowered his head: "I didn't expect Xiazhou to be so miserable."

Yesterday, the city sent people to deliver Xiao Mo's body, Li Lu's body and head, and announced the news that Prince Shen had blew himself up.

Although the ending was guessed, it was another matter to actually hear the truth.

On the city wall, Yelu Anqi seldom sat in the tent erected on the city wall, sitting on a wine glass and looking into the distance.

A gust of wind blows, making people in the city feel cool.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty go to rest for a while? It's almost noon, and the sun is poisonous!" Zhuo Tong said.

"I don't know, I'm a little restless!" Yelu Anqi replied.

The breeze blowing from the valley spread around the entire Xiazhou City, and the horses in the distance raised flags, indicating that there were troops coming from afar.

Helian Tianjiao and the others and Yelu Anqi in the city all saw the movement of the bannerman on the other side of the mountain, and all looked over.

The overwhelming white long flags appeared from the other side of the valley, and hundreds of thousands of white-clothed troops came like a torrent.

When Yelu Anqi saw the white-clothed army mixed with the mountain wind, he felt a strange twist in his heart, as if the opponent's enemy was not him, and as if he was just a passing by.

This is the first time he has had such a sense of strangeness, or world-weariness, for the past [-] years since he came here.

Maybe a little bit more confusion!

Helian Tianjiao looked at Shu Yu: "Guess who the Lord Shen raised the white flag for."

Shu Yu shook his head to express his ignorance.They only said that there are more bad luck and better luck, but they didn't tell him exactly about Prince Shen.

According to the relationship between Shen Bai and Prince Shen, he would not have done so without seeing the other party's body, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in white helmets and white armor in front of him showed that the situation was not right.

Xiao Yan came over to meet Shen Bai with them, the huge army drove past word by word, and Shen Bai's car appeared behind.

Helian Tianjiao saw dozens of huge siege catapults behind him, and secretly smacked his lips, knowing that Shen Bai was fighting for his life. More than 500 new long-barreled cannons of Zhongshu Artillery were shining darkly under the scorching sun. The new Xiazhou battle was destined to be extraordinary from the very beginning.

Shun Zi got down from the carriage, the sergeant brought the steps, and Shen Bai stepped down from the carriage.

Helian Tianjiao looked over, Shen Bai, who was once in high spirits, was not wearing a bun at the moment, his hair was only tied behind him with a headband, which looked a little delicate, half of the hair hanging down covered his slender cheeks.

What caught everyone's attention was that the front half of his hair had turned silvery white.

Shu Yu's feet seemed to be driven into nails, and he watched Shen Bai remain motionless.

Xiao Yan in a filial robe stepped forward and knelt down: "Master!" After calling out, he supported Shen Bai and wept in a low voice.

Shen Bai hugged him heartbroken, his father hadn't seen him for a whole day, and when they met again, heaven and man were separated.

Xiao Yan hugged Shen Bai and cried like a child.

Daniu was terribly anxious at the side, Shen Bai was in a coma for two days, and his health was not good enough.He just wanted to go forward to help him, afraid that Shen Bai would be overwhelmed, Shen Bai shook his head, "Let him cry enough!"

In the big tent, Shen Bai glanced at Shu Yu. When he looked at Shu Yu, Shu Yu was also looking at him, at half of his white hair.

"My lord, your hair?" Shu Yu said softly.

Shen Bai stretched out his hand to touch the white hair on his forehead and said calmly: "It's not a bad thing."

"News came from the city that Prince Shen lit the gunpowder himself." When Shu Yu said, his eyes fixed on Shen Bai's and remained motionless.

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Shen Bai already expressed his understanding, and nodded to him: "I know."

"That's why you came here in white helmet?" Shu Yu asked.

The two of them asked and answered, and the people around them watched, not daring to interrupt at all.

"Yes and no!" Shen Bai shook his head, and said softly: "Emperor Daxing, he passed away seven days ago."

Shu Yu still looked at him like that, but he held the Yiyun Sword tightly in his hand, and after a while, he lowered his head and wept silently.

"I have ordered the third prince to take the place of heaven, and I will ascend the throne after I go back." Shen Bai looked at Helian Tianjiao: "Brother Lao Helian."

Helian Tianjiao smiled calmly at Shen Bai: "Don't talk about work, this is destiny!"

When he said 'destiny', only the two of them could understand it.

"Yes, it's destiny." Shen Bai affirmed his words: "I just want to end all of this, and no one can stop it."

The soldiers outside the tent came to report: "Your Highness, the lord, Yelu Anqi, the Great King of Khitan Southern Courtyard, please meet His Highness Shen at the moat."

Shen Bai stood up slowly: "I'm going to see him, you guys get ready to attack the city, I've already drawn up the plan for the attack, and the accompanying Imperial Artillery will execute it."

"Shall I go with you?" Shu Yu said.

Shen Bai shook his head: "I am not dead, and there will be no living people to leave this Xiazhou City."

Yelu Anqi beat his horse and waited inside the moat.

Shen Bai came riding slowly, and the 30 troops behind him began to deploy. The soldiers with white helmets and white armor had the upper hand, forming a conspicuous white on the battlefield.

It was the first time for Yelu Anqi to see Shen Bai. He had imagined many kinds of Shen Bai's appearance, and the information he got was "scholar temperament".

But the person in front of him was heavy with Jing Yi, and he didn't comb his hair like a Song Dynasty.The well-known scholar's belt seemed to be hanging behind him, and the loose hair on his forehead couldn't hide the powerful light in this man's eyes.

The strong wind blew, and Shen Bai's cloak was blown like a pair of wings of a god.

The Khitan soldiers in the city, as well as Eunuch Jing and Eunuch Bai, all looked silently at this god-like figure in front of him, who is also the commander of an army of 50, and the current No. 1 in the Song Dynasty.

"Aren't you afraid that I will plot against you again?" Yelu Anqi said clearly.

Hearing his voice, Shen Bai raised his head slightly, looked sideways at the soldiers on the city with his facial expression like melting snow in winter, and said calmly: "I die, from here to the Seventeen Tribes of Khitan South Court, All 130 million Khitan people in Nine Cities and Six Villages were buried with them."

Yelu Anqi looked up at him: "Are you threatening me?"

Shen Bai stared at him: "I never threaten anyone!"

"Yu Wentuo is seriously injured, you shouldn't be here, you should know my mission, what I want to achieve is what everyone wants." Yelu Anqi said.

"Yu Wentuo is dead." After Shen Bai finished speaking, the people in the city and the city were stunned almost at the same time, as if time had stopped.

"Then why didn't you replace him?" Yelu Anqi asked curiously.

"I'm not like you, I just came here to punish the heaven!" Shen Bai returned.

"Punish the sky on behalf of the sky, which sky are you punishing?" Yelu Anqi said amusedly.

"Unkind and unrighteous heaven." Shen Bai said with a calm smile, his expression was as calm as a mysterious ancient Buddha.Under the strange and solemn face, the corner of the mouth is curled into a smile, as if laughing at the insignificance of these people in front of him.

Everyone who saw his smile felt a strange feeling of wanting to worship him.

"Needless to say how high-sounding it is, you and I are the same, we are not qualified to condemn the 'fate of heaven's punishment'." Yelu Anqi looked at Shen Bai, a little confused about the person in front of him.

"On behalf of 'Heaven', I will punish all those who have selfish intentions." Shen Bai replied firmly.

Yelu Anqi shook his head, and said hysterically: "You and I are the same, you are such a person, who can you punish, can you punish yourself? You are just a poor creature living under the mask of others, you are Do you like performing? Your performance saves someone, this is fate, it is destiny, and you have no way to fight against it!"

"I admit, I'm performing." Shen Bai said decisively: "So, I'm not only punishing you, but also myself."

"Maybe you're crazy?" Yelu Anqi couldn't help scolding.

"It used to be!" Shen Bai twisted the rein and looked back at him: "But I've never been sober as this moment, thank you for it."

Shen Bai galloped away month by month, and when he arrived, none of the Khitan soldiers in the city dared to shoot arrows, even the person who gave the order did not recover.

The white cloak is on the galloping horse, dragging out white waves.

In the artillery position in front of him, five hundred cannons began to roar at the same time after he turned around. The high range of the artillery was beyond the expectation of the Xiazhou defenders, and the city wall was immediately plunged into a haze of lightning and flint.

Yelu Anqi was not afraid of the oncoming artillery at all, he stared blankly at the empty opposite bank, and thoughtfully recalled the plain words.

Shen Bai returned to the army formation.

"It might not be possible to blow up the city wall with artillery bombardment like this. Should we send death squads to blow up the city wall?" Helian Tianjiao asked.

Shen Bai waved his hand lightly, beckoning to the imperial guards, who would give instructions knowingly.

Thirty trebuchets were fitted with huge water tanks.

"What are you doing?" Helian Tianjiao asked puzzled.

With a wave of Shen Bai's hand, the trebuchet was launched, and thirty water tanks smashed into the city wall. The broken water tanks smashed open and splashed white powder.

"This is it?" Helian Tianjiao watched curiously as the trebuchet moved forward ten steps to install a new water tank, and the cannon also moved five steps.

"Flour!" Shen Bai said lightly.

"Flour? Flour!" Helian Tianjiao looked at him in admiration.

The continuous bombing continued uninterrupted, and 30 troops armed with heavy shields arrived at the front, surrounding Xiazhou City like an iron barrel.

The bombardment continued from all sides, and it was the first time for the Xixia army to see such a meteor-like attack, and the shock in their hearts could not be expressed in words.

"Let's turn to the north." Shen Bai said.

"Why did you go to the north?" Helian Tianjiao asked puzzled.

"I want them to break out from the north gate, to Beiyuan." Shen Bai said lightly.

"It seems that we have no chance of winning." Eunuch Jing looked at Yelu Anqi who had returned to the city in a daze.

"The artillery on the opposite side is obviously better than ours, and it can hit farther below the city than our artillery on the city." The city guard complained.

"Can our artillery fight back?" Yelu Anqi asked.

"There was a big fire on the city wall, and the white powder from the trebuchet on the opposite side exploded when it saw the fire, and the fire continued in the dust. Our artillery, let alone blowing them up, has already injured many of our own people." Zhuo Tong said.

"Hmph!" Yelu Anqi smiled helplessly, "Is he asking us to fight trapped beasts?"

"My lord, the enemy's artillery and siege equipment are constantly moving forward, our army's casualties are increasing, and the buildings in the city have touched their sparks, and some of them are on fire." The city guard said.

Yelu Anqi snorted coldly: "I want to see how long it takes for them to conquer us?"

Just as he was talking, Eunuch Bai ran down from the city: "Your Majesty, go up and have a look!"

Everyone boarded the city wall of the north gate together. The southeast, west and east sides were under uninterrupted artillery fire, but the north gate was fine. Yelu Anqi looked at the front of the north gate.

20 white helmets and white armors with white flags lined up neatly, with [-] infantry in the front, [-] cavalry on the left and right, and [-] cavalry in the rear.

"Is this what they want?" Eunuch Jing asked.

Yelu Anqi looked at Shen Bai's Benhu descending the mountain king's banner representing Shen Bai in the Chinese army formation below the city: "They are making an appointment to fight us."

"Then what should we do?" Eunuch Jing glanced at him.

Yelu Anqi smiled lightly, unexpectedly the same smile as Chen Bai who met him across the river at the bottom of the city.

"Leader?" Eunuch Jing looked at Yelu Anqi worriedly.

"Assemble the army, let's fight out." Yelu Anqi said.

Horns sounded from all over the city, indicating that the Khitan army began to gather.

Shen Baigao sat on the horse, raised his hand, and the semaphore soldiers issued an order, and the shelling stopped.

The [-] infantrymen on the left and right sides of the city held heavy shields, and behind them were all halberd troops tied with white cloth strips.

The north gate of the city gate was opened, and the leading Khitan soldiers stepped forward to lay wooden planks on the moat to facilitate their own troops to leave the city.

Yelu Anqi changed the golden armor, and glanced at Eunuch Jing: "Why don't you change the armor, the elder, the opponent's arrows are very powerful."

Eunuch Jing moved his dead bark-like skin and smiled: "It doesn't matter that I've lived so old, I'm not going to leave, I'll just sit on the city and watch you."

"Elder?" Yelu Anqi looked at him.

Eunuch Jing patted him: "Go, no matter who is right between us and Shen Bai, I just hope that this old man will be punished, haha!"

Eunuch Jing turned around and went up the city wall, smiling as he walked, waving his hands behind him.

Yelu Anqi looked at his lonely figure in the city, and gritted his teeth: "Get on the horse!"

The Khitan White Wolf Army marched out under the banner of the White Wolf, and the cavalry drew their scimitars to occupy positions on the left and right, slowly forming a huge army formation of 20 people.

"Brother Shen Xian?" Helian Tianjiao looked at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai shook his head: "I don't need brother's men, this is my grudge with them."

"This is our business." Helian Tianjiao looked down and said firmly: "Zilong, your troops are at the disposal of the prince."

Shen Bai glanced at Helian Zilong, and the young general looked at Shen Bai with an eagle gun in his hand: "It's very honorable."

Shen Bai smiled lightly at him: "Thank you!"

Many years later, when He Lianzilong, who became the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, recalled this kind of smile, he would always tell people about the legend of the Song Dynasty, and his smile was full of "the sky is high and the clouds are light".This is not something that anyone can learn, nor is it something that comes from nature, but something that can only be possessed by looking down on the vicissitudes of life.

"Xinwen, you take fifty thousand cavalry to the left." Shen Bai glanced at Shu Yu, and Shu Yu pulled out the Yiyun Sword and looked back at Shen Bai: "Shen Bai, take care!"

Shen Bai saw him galloping off the horse gracefully, looked up at the sky and pressed back the teardrops from the corners of his eyes.

"A Yan!" Shen Bai called Xiao Yan who was waiting for the order.

Xiao Yan rode over and looked at the half-white-haired Shen Bai.

Shen Bai untied the Dragon Chanting Sword from his waist: "You lead fifty thousand cavalry on the right, holding this sword, the young master gave it to you."

Xiao Yan took the Dragon Chanting Sword inlaid with rubies, and then looked at Shen Bai: "Master, I don't have any words yet, can you get me one?"

"Let's call it Rong An! The young master wishes you glory and safety!" Shen Bai looked at him and said.

Xiao Yan squeezed out a smile, beat his horse and left.

Yelu Anqi rushed out of the battle and shouted to the front: "Chen Bai, Yelu Anqi is here, come on!"

Shen Bai smiled.

Helian Tianjiao said worriedly: "Your arrangement of 20 people here, I will transfer all my [-] cavalry. In terms of cavalry, we Xixia people are more powerful."

Shen Bai took out a booklet from his body and gave it to him: "This is the letter of credence, the peace treaty I signed with you on behalf of the new emperor."

Helian Tianjiao took the letter of credence: "What do you mean?"

"I am 20 people against him. If they kill me, I will not leave. Senior Helian, I don't know what to call you. You go to the back. I hope this is my last stage."

Helian Tianjiao looked at Shen Bai, nodded and said: "I see, Shen Bai, no matter what, you are my friend."

Shen Bai nodded as a signal.

Yelu Anqi's cavalry began to spread out.

In the sound of the horn, the White Wolf Army showed absolute momentum, even if they were surrounded by powerful enemies, they did not retreat timidly in front of the battle.

"There are more than 3 infantry on the left and right. It seems to prevent us from escaping, but it is also their weakness. Why don't we attack their wings?" Eunuch Bai said in a low voice.

Yelu Anqi shook his head: "I can't run, there are 30 people on the other side who haven't moved at all. The only place I can run is there!"

He pointed to Shen Bai's Chinese army: "Where is their commander-in-chief flag, where the Chinese army does not move."

"Aren't you afraid it's a trap?" Eunuch Bai said worriedly.

"No, otherwise Prince Shen will die in vain." Yelu Anqi said confidently.

"Daniu, you lead [-] Chinese infantry to block them. The young master has something to ask you."

"Young Master, it's what you say, you gave me my life." Daniel looked at Shen Bai's appearance and couldn't help but said with tears.

"I saw a man with white eyebrows, and killed him for the young master." Shen Bai said coldly.

"Understood, young master, don't worry."

"Play the drum!" Shen Bai raised his hand, and the huge drum array sounded at the same time.

The Central Infantry Corps marched forward with neat steps, and the sound of armor hitting the shield could not be heard.

Yelu Anqi drew his saber and said, "Children, go!" The whole Khitan White Wolf Army moved towards the central army.

Helian Zilong's [-] Xixia cavalry guarded Shen Bai's side.

"Halberd out, charge!" The infantry commander waved his hand, and the halberd soldiers rushed out from the gap made by the shield soldiers, and rushed down the hillside to the cavalry below. , the infantry squatted down, with the head of the halberd upward.

The continuous impact of the halberd soldiers stopped the cavalry's impact alive.

The Khitan cavalry separated from the left and right, trying to overtake the infantry and charge out.

Xiao Yan and Shu Yu commanded the cavalry to charge out almost at the same time, and the Song Army cavalry was like two ends of two scissors, cutting towards the middle.

The shield soldiers in the infantry form a long formation of shields and use their advantages to squeeze past.

The two sides had a tacit understanding without firing a cannon or shooting an arrow.

Shen Bai looked at Helian Zilong who was eager to try, "Go, you don't need to worry about my safety!"

He Lianzi raised his dragon hand, and the left and right [-] cavalry scattered and charged and detoured.

"Leave 1 people to protect His Highness." After speaking, He Lianzilong jumped on his horse and charged out with his gun.

In the huge battlefield, there is only the sound of fighting.

The wind running through the battlefield suddenly stopped abruptly.

Shen Bai looked up at the sun above the sky, the strong wind blowing to the edge of Xiazhou seemed to be blocked by something, half of the sky was cloudy, and the other half was cloudless, like a miracle.

Shen Bai thought of the first move of Emperor Xuantian Evil's divine skill 'Disturbing the situation one after another', and the phrase he must say when he uses the move, "I am a stranger in a foreign land alone!"

"A stranger in a foreign land alone!" Shen Bai rode forward, untied his cloak, and shouted with open arms towards the sky.

In the bright sunny sky, the sun began to be completely enveloped by a huge black shadow.

Helian Tianjiao looked at the dark sky and muttered to himself: "Total solar eclipse! My God, what did he do!"

On the fourth day of August in the tenth year of Xingzong, good luck!A total solar eclipse, Kyushu is dark and dark, thousands of miles are like paint, the sky is still, and the way of heaven cuts through the wind and clouds. "Song Benji Xingzonglu"
