bamboo horse prince

Yang Nian rubbed his brows, put Yang Feng'er's letter in front of the candle and lit it.

"My sister said that the emperor has appointed Concubine Zhen's son as the crown prince, and the edict should be issued in two days."

"Did Concubine Zhen make things difficult for Sister Feng'er?"

"My sister is so smart. She set up a Buddhist hall in the palace in the name of praying for the prince, and kneels in it every day to eat fast and chant Buddha, and no one dares to disturb her." Yang Nian replied, "I also want to try to understand Make it vegetarian."

"Brother Huang must have been dazzled too much. The crown prince was established too early, and there will be an open and secret struggle in the future."

"My father has passed away now, and the Empress Dowager and the third uncle don't turn to her. It's very difficult for her to do things in the palace now. It's impossible to come up with such an expedient solution. I really want to go back to the capital, even if I accompany her to relieve boredom." .”

"Since the teacher and uncle have agreed for six years, uncle will not let you go back for a day. Instead of complaining about this, you should think about how to save Sister Feng'er from the sea of ​​suffering when you go back."

Yang Nian felt that Li Sheng's words made sense, so he decided to reward him, leaned over, and licked Li Sheng's lips with the tip of his tongue, which successfully made the other party blush.

Ren Mian tightened the reins with one hand and held the sword around his waist with the other. As the commander of the vanguard battalion, he was at the forefront of the entire team.He turned his head and saw that Ren Xiaoxiao was staring at him nervously, waiting for his order.

Liang Jun's momentum is winning, they regard wolves as their true gods, plunder is their instinct, and bloodthirsty is their desire in the bottom of their hearts.Today they are even crazier, after all, their emperor is behind the army and personally supervises the battle.

Seeing this situation, Song Chengyun sent a herald to order the Vanguard Battalion not to indulge in fighting, and immediately retreated from the battlefield to go straight to Fengqi Town to defend, and asked the infantry battalion led by Shi Licheng to cover them.

"General Ren," said the leader of the Liang Kingdom, a burly man, who rode at the forefront of the army, "you can use your vanguard battalion to sacrifice the flag for me today."

"Ye Yuan, don't talk too much, have you forgotten how you got here last year?"

Ye Yuan was said to be hurting in the heart, and his face suddenly became grim, "Don't take advantage of words!"

Ren Mian clamped the horse's belly tightly, drew out his long sword, and swung it forward. The sergeant behind him roared and rushed towards the enemy.

Standing on the tower of Fengqi Town, Yang Nian was surrounded by the guards who were waiting in battle. The military flag was whistling by the strong wind. From Yang Nian's perspective, he could barely see the confrontation between the two armies.

After that earth-shattering shout, the situation in the sky changed instantly, and Yang Nian even smelled the occasional smell of blood coming from the battlefield.

He took two steps forward, trying to see the situation on the battlefield, but there was only a black crowd.It was hard for him to imagine Li Sheng's current situation, and he could only look forward to his safe return.

The soldiers of the defending army brought an incense burner, and when the incense on it was extinguished, it meant that the drums would be sounded to call the vanguard battalion back to the city.

It took half a century for just one stick of incense, and after the incense was extinguished, Yang Nian yelled, "Drum!"

Suddenly, several war drums on the city wall were sounded at the same time, and Xu Dao hurriedly urged the soldiers.

Yang Nian saw several figures from a distance, turned around, left the army, and rushed towards the city guard.

The soldiers and civilians in Fengqi Town were also fully prepared, guarding the gate of the city, even supporting the wounded soldiers.

Finally someone approached the gate of the city, Yang Nian approached the crenel to take a closer look, but that person seemed to exert all his strength, and when he was about to reach the finish line, he staggered off his horse.

Yang Nian hurried down the tower, the guards had already picked up the man and carried him into the city.

This man's face was covered with blood and mud, and his armor was stained with a layer of vermilion. He couldn't recognize him, so Yang Nian could only ask the guard, "Who is this, Li Sheng?"

"He is the commander of the first cavalry battalion." The defender reported.

"Hurry up and send them to the military doctor's office." Yang Nian ordered, "There will only be more people coming at this time, so everyone should be prepared."

Sure enough, there were soldiers rushing back one after another. Some of the lightly injured were able to bring back the seriously injured, but some brought back only a corpse.

Yang Nian confirmed the names and military ranks of each soldier, counting silently in his heart.

When he counted to 480, a sense of despair had slowly poured into his heart, and he forced himself to cheer up and never give up, and continue to properly arrange the wounded.

"Nian'er," Yang Nian heard a weak call, and turned around with tears streaming down his face. It was indeed Li Sheng.

Li Sheng's horse couldn't hold it anymore, and the moment he got off the horse, he threw himself to the ground. Li Sheng still had some strength left, and he was able to force himself to stand up, and opened his arms towards Yang Nian.

Yang Nian put down a stone, but couldn't calm down, "Did you see Xiao Shitou and Xiao Xiao!? And Master!"

Li Sheng froze, turned around, and pulled a horse over by force, intending to rush back again.

Yang Nian knew that he couldn't stop him, but he still chased after Li Sheng's back in vain.

But before Li Sheng could run far, Shi Lingxin fell in front of the city gate together with man and horse, with a few arrow feathers pierced behind him, and in front of him was protecting Ren Xiaoxiao who had lost consciousness.

Yang Nian called out to the city for help.

Shi Ling's eyes were filled with blood and tears, and he exhausted all his strength, "Master is gone."

Hearing this, Li Sheng's tears flowed down the bloodstains on his face, he knelt down facing the direction of the battlefield, and kowtowed.

"Master Supervisor, the troops on the front line are retreating, what should we do?" The guards understood Yang Nian's grief, but had to wait for his order.

Yang Nian took a breath and held back his tears, "According to the original plan, five hundred elite soldiers will be dispatched to cover the retreat of the army, and we will definitely bring the last one back!"

"Father!" Ren Xiaoxiao woke up from the bed, her mind was full of Liang Bing's scimitar waving in front of her eyes.She touched her face with shaking hands, found it intact, and felt relieved.She turned her head and saw a general's helmet placed next to her pillow, her eyes went dark...

She watched helplessly as the scimitar pierced Ren Mian's chest, and the other end leaked out from the back. She whipped out a long whip and directly wrenched off Liang Bing's head. Dismounted.

But Ren Mian couldn't see it anymore. He missed the appearance of his daughter, whom he had placed high hopes on, killing all directions on the battlefield.

Ren Xiaoxiao's shrill cry attracted the attention of Shi Lingxin who was not far away. He turned his horse's head and picked out more than a dozen people in a row before rushing to Ren Xiaoxiao.

At this time, the war drums rang, and Shi Lingxin saw that Ren Xiaoxiao had no intention of retreating, so he put his own horse and Ren Xiaoxiao's horse together, got up and jumped onto Ren Xiaoxiao's horse, regardless of Ren Xiaoxiao's attitude. Defiant galloped her horse backwards.

The Chu army was not the only one who heard the sound of the drum, Ye Yuan immediately sent arrows to stop everyone in the vanguard battalion.

Shi Licheng shouted, and the infantry battalion mobilized collectively, erecting shields, forming a solid wall formation, leaving only a few gaps for the vanguard battalion to evacuate.

Ren Xiaoxiao was imprisoned in front of the horse by Shi Lingxin's arms, unable to move, and Liang Bing at the side cut her calf with a machete, bleeding profusely, she groaned and did not cry out in pain.

But Shi Lingxin could see clearly, turned the horse's head sideways, pulled the rein back, the horse neighed, trampled Liang Bing under its feet, and continued to move forward on his corpse.

As soon as the drums stopped, the gap in the wall array was blocked, but Shi Ling still seemed to have inexhaustible strength after being hit by two arrows in his heart. He rode his horse over the wall array that was one person tall, and rushed back to the city with Ren Xiaoxiao.
