Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

The wind is strong and the snow is cold.

In the night wind, blood was spreading, and the broken skin of the firecrackers was rolled up, and the fine snow particles were pierced, and fell into the muddy roadside.

The prosperous street scene in the past has long been deserted, and only the Kaifeng government office servants are busy shuttling back and forth, fighting fires and looking for people.Most of the fences facing the street were smashed, and the doors and windows of every house were closed tightly, with no light or shadows.

Bianliang City has high walls and deep walls. It is far in the hinterland and does not face the border. It has not seen war for a long time.

Outside the Jinshui Gate, King Xiang's rebels had all received the message, their faces were covered, their horses were crowned, and they rushed from all over to gather in one place.

Under the closed city gate, there are countless black cavalry.

"Rolling wood thunder stone!"

Marquis Du Yu stood guard on the tower, gritting his teeth, "Shield in front, bow and arrow in the back, obey orders and shoot!"

Inside the hall in front of the hall, there are unknown number of former troops of Shuofang Army under the covert protection of Xiao Shuo.In this battle, no one listened to His Royal Highness King Yan, no matter the youngest and only son of the family, they put their lives on the line.

Everyone sticks to it, and no one is willing to retreat.

Most of the rebels were heavily armored cavalry, and even the horses were wearing armor. Ordinary arrows could not break through fifty catties of iron armor, but rolling wood, thunder and stone were extremely limited.

Once exhausted, if reinforcements do not arrive, even if everyone dies on the city, they will not be able to defend this thin city gate.

During the gap between the rain of arrows, Lian Sheng climbed up the tower.

"General Lian!" Seeing him coming up, Marquis Duyu was vaguely delighted, "How is the situation in the city? Guards---"

Lian Sheng shook his head, stretched out his hand silently, and took the longbow of the soldier beside him.

Du Yuhou was stunned.

"I checked thirteen security guards' defense points."

Lian Sheng said, "They were all defeated in one battle, and some of them didn't even have any traces of fighting... I saw some soldiers fleeing for their lives on the road."

Lian Sheng looked at the black iron cavalry attacking under the tower, "I'm afraid the reinforcements won't come. I'm timid before fighting, and my morale is exhausted. No one can gather these frightened remnants unless——"

Du Yuhou whispered, "Unless what?"

"unless……"

Lian Sheng was silent for a moment, and smiled wryly, "It would be fine if it was two or three months later."

Du Yuhou suddenly understood what he said, his heart sank, and he fell silent amid the sound of fighting.

If it was two or three months later, most of the injuries on Yunlang's body would be healed, and there would be no more worries.

Two or three months later, His Royal Highness King Yan will be able to figure out a way to turn around the court, slowly figure it out, and return them an invincible major general.

The night was darker and darker, and the wind and snow made people's hearts cold. "Since the reinforcements can't come... then don't count on it."

Du Yuhou said, "Whether the reinforcements come or not, we will not be able to retreat half a step."

"This place is different from Yanyun. After breaking the Jinshuimen, they were sent into the inner city."

Du Yuhou said in a deep voice, "Is there any battle in the inner city?"

"Yes." Lian Sheng said, "His Royal Highness is leading people to guard the Youchengtian Gate, fighting fiercely with them. I walked so fast that I couldn't see clearly. I don't know if the Major General is among them."

Both of them couldn't help feeling cold in their hearts, and fell silent for a moment.

The inner city is the most strictly guarded, and the commander in front of the temple would rather kill by mistake than let it go. It was like passing through a sieve six or seven times, and the rebels would never come out.

It was someone in the Guards Department who turned against him.

The emperor's most trusted bodyguard department, who has been asking for money and food for years, the powerful and majestic elite imperial guards, the routs and rebellious rebels, I am afraid that they are no longer reliable.

"There is no danger to defend the inner city. If we can't stop it, they will go straight to Youchengtianmen."

Lian Sheng said, "If they are together with the rebels in the inner city, no one will be able to stop them."

Du Yuhou clenched his teeth, swallowed the boundless cold and hot blood, grabbed the spear from the soldier beside him, turned and went down to the city.

Lian Sheng grabbed him and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

"Jinshuimen is not Shuozhou City, and the city walls were not built to defend against siege. If you leave the city and fight to the death, you will be breached sooner or later."

Du Yuhou said, "You and I took our lives. If we didn't have His Highness back then, we would all be dead... At least one of them is worth it today."

"If you want to go out of the city to resist the enemy, I should go!"

Lian Sheng sternly said, "You are Marquis Yu, the capital in front of the palace! His Highness is not here, and you are the chief general here, how can you leave at will!"

Du Yuhou "is participating in the leadership."

Lian Sheng was called out of his former military position in the Shuofang Army by him, his chest tightened, and he stood where he was.

"You are good at defending the city, I am good at attacking."

Marquis Du Yu clenched his long lance tightly, "Strike once, treat it as the Shuofang Great Wall...just treat it as it was back then."

"I really want to go back again."

Marquis Du Yu lowered his head and smiled, "Prince Duan is still here, leading us to conquer everything. There is no battle that cannot be won by the major general's surprise attack."

Lian Sheng couldn't speak, his chest and lungs hurt from suffocation, he was wrapped in the wind and snow, and stood in place.

Du Yuhou ordered three hundred light cavalry and went down the tower.

During the short gap between the exhausted truce between the two sides, the gate of Jinshuimen slowly opened.

The black cavalry woke up instantly, and was about to pounce on it, when the general guarding the tower yelled loudly, and the heavy rolling wood, thunder and stone fell down overwhelmingly.

Heavy armor has the worst maneuverability, and can't resist hard, and retreat immediately when ordered.As soon as the light armored cavalry and infantry stepped up, before they could stand still, they faced the overwhelming arrow rain.

Lian Sheng held the longbow in his own hand, and stood guard at the top of the city. The arrow was so fierce that it seemed to be soaked in blood.

Under the rain of arrows, the lightly armored soldiers of the Dianqian Division greeted them fearlessly.

"Infantry with three-one-siege heavy armor, don't love to fight!"

Du Yuhou said loudly, "The light cavalry charge with me!"

The Black Iron Cavalry had never encountered such a strong resistance all the way, and at this moment, they couldn't help it, and the camp was abruptly opened, causing a burst of chaos.

The three hundred light armors were all from the Shuofang army, they were used to beating Rongdi's wolf cubs, and all of them were extremely ruthless, and they jumped together with the black iron cavalry.

The momentum of the siege slowed down, and the winning streak suddenly turned around, forcing his eyes back with hot eyes, "Recruit the strong men in the city, strengthen the city gates, fill in the gaps with sandbags! Gather all the fire oil in the city, and lead the wells to the city!"

There is no danger to defend, no barriers to rely on, no reinforcements to wait for.

Flesh remains.

The first time the rebels encountered a fierce charge, the chief general was startled for a moment, and immediately rearranged and pushed the heavy cavalry up.

The two armies were fighting in one place, and there was no way to put rolling wood and thunder stones on the city.The armor of a heavy armored soldier can protect the whole body, except for his eyes and hands, which cannot be cut open by a knife or pierced by a spear. Facing an opponent with only thin armor, it is almost a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers and horses of the Dianqian Division fought desperately, but after all, they were insufficiently equipped and weak, and there were only 300 people.

No matter how fierce the battle situation is, the strength gap that can be crushed can also be used to crush this stubborn force.

The rebel general watched the battle in silence, slowly raised the long knife in his hand, and slashed forward.

This was a gesture of strangling, Du Yuhou clenched the spear tightly in his hand, his chest heaved violently, and he closed his eyes forcefully.

These 300 people were originally here to die.

Stop as many as you can, and if you can kill one with your life, there will be one less person to attack the crumbling city.

Du Yuhou slashed horizontally with a long spear in his hand, and was about to issue the order to fight to the death, when he suddenly shuddered violently, staring at a ray of white light cut out of the dense night sky.

White phosphorous and flint, bear the order of thunder.

Yunqi's order to bear thunder.

An unbelievable light flashed in Du Yuhou's eyes.

The general of the rebel army felt cold for no reason, but when he looked back, he had already been pierced by a white feather arrow that could pierce gold and crack rocks.

The general of the rebel army raised his hand, his eyes full of astonishment could not fade away, and he fell off his horse dead.

Yunlang hung up his bow, Yinjia Yingxue took the lead, and led nearly a thousand remnants of the guards who gathered behind him, and dragged himself into the enemy's formation with guns, and singled out the terrified lieutenant general to join the army.

Marquis Du Yu stared blankly at the shocking change in front of him, for a moment he didn't know whether it was a dream or it was real, blood surged in his throat, "Major General!"

Yun Lang raised his eyes, his sharp eyes fell on him.

Du Yuhou's eyes burned fiercely, and he swung his long spear vigorously, "The two armies are united, line up in the forward line, and follow the major general to resist the enemy!"

The rebels broke down again and again, and the rest who could take care of them couldn't take care of them, and they were in chaos for a while.

The long spear that Yun Lang picked up at random was extremely awkward, and he broke the tip of the spear with one blow, and simply threw it away, reining in his horse and looking up at the tower.

Lian Sheng stared closely at the situation below the city, met his gaze, suddenly came to his senses, and threw himself back to take the Wufeng epee of Dianqiansi.

Jiang Zuojian made two swords in imitation of the ancient sword Juque. They looked like they had no edge or edge, but they were actually dipped in fire. They had barbs and blood grooves, and they were unparalleled in sharpness.

These two swords, the one in the bodyguard department, was once held in the hands of the hidden guard, which left a serious wound on Yunlang's chest.

Yun Lang caught the sword thrown from the city, swung his whip and urged his horse, and went straight into the enemy's line.

The heavy armored cavalry is not completely flawless, fifty catties of heavy armor, more than one hundred catties of men, plus horse armor and human weapons, a horse has to carry hundreds of catties of weight.

Dawan horse is the best war horse. It is strong and brave, has a warlike and understanding nature, and is known as a bloody horse.It was also for this reason that King Xiang took great pains at the beginning, spending a lot of money to buy thousands of good Dawan horses, and secretly built this black iron cavalry.

But King Xiang is not a general on the battlefield, and there is one thing that is not clear.

People say that good horses don’t ride on the shaft, not only because Dawan horse-drawn carts are violent, but also because Dawan horses can gallop thousands of miles, and can run wind and electricity, but they are naturally not good at carrying heavy loads and lack endurance.

Now that the battle has been fought, these heavily armored cavalry, who are tightly wrapped and airtight, even though their men still have strength, their horses can no longer support them.

Yun Lang and Marquis Duyu took a look at each other, held the sword horizontally, and slashed downwards heavily.

Marquis Duyu suddenly came to his senses, and shouted an order, "Light armored infantry, a team of three, cut the horse sickle!"

All the officers in front of the hall immediately received an order that all the remnants of the bodyguards gathered by Yunlang were able to fight, and when they saw their companions take out sickle-shaped scimitars, everyone immediately followed suit.

The Shuofang army has been confronting the Rongdi cavalry all year round, and has long summed up weapons designed to deal with cavalry.The crescent-shaped scimitar is cast according to the sickle, and the blade is on the inside. It does not cut off the head, but only the horse's leg.

There was a commotion among the rebels, which seemed to have the intention of retreating. The forbidden army gathered around and surrounded them with their wings, but they had sealed all the cavalry in front of Jinshuimen.

The infantry rolled in the blood-soaked snow, gritted their teeth, and cut the horse's legs with a scimitar. When someone fell, the three of them immediately jumped on them, and they threw off their armor and killed them with one blow.

Immediately the cavalry panicked, wanting to kill these desperate imperial guards with their weapons, they raised their knives, and a bright sword glow cut through the blood in front of them.

Yun Lang abandoned his horse, and his body skills reached the extreme, the sword light was piercing, only piercing the only space that the iron armor couldn't protect.

The sword reflects the cold moon, there is death but no injury.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and the black cavalry closest to the city gate was bitten by the imperial guards firmly in front of the gate, and they were unable to even get away and retreat.

The rebels who were a little farther away originally wanted to come to rescue, but they were frightened by the situation in front of them, so they didn't dare to go forward easily for a while.

The wind and snow intensified, and the last heavy armored cavalry fell off his horse. The snow was so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes.

The leader of the rebel army finally didn't dare to go any further, the sound of golden bells sounded, and the rear team moved forward, slowly retreating into the streets and alleys of the city for the time being.

Lian Sheng went down to the city to open the gate, welcomed the bloody Forbidden Army team into the city, and closed the city gate firmly.

Behind Yunlang Palace, he got back on his horse, and was the last one to enter the city, and asked him to help him get off his horse and stand still.

Everyone was exhausted, with countless bruises and bloodstains on their bodies, but their eyes were burning with an almost fanatical fighting spirit.

Yun Lang swept around slowly, smiled, and cupped his fists.

The soldiers responded eagerly.

"Today." Yun Lang said, covering most of the venting voice, smiled helplessly, and said slowly, "Today's battle, the rebels lost their spirit, retreated in fright, and will not attack easily again."

"In the next few days, the rebels will probably surround and not attack, cutting off the supply of the inner city and outer city, with the intention of dragging down our army."

Yun Lang supported the horse's back, "recuperate, collect the food in the city, and supply it per head. The young and strong in the city..."

"Major General." The winning streak was helpless, "The last general is still here."

Yun Lang glanced at him, and smiled slightly, "I forgot, even the generals have guarded more cities than I have cut the flags."

His tone was relaxed, and everyone couldn't help it for a while, and they all burst into laughter.

Lian Sheng asked him to tease him, he smiled wryly for a while, and pretended to teach everyone not to make fun of him, and together with Marquis Du Yu led Yun Lang into the inner camp in front of the palace.

Yun Lang asked the two to support him, and the heavy curtains of the camp tent behind his back fell down, his steps sank, he choked up blood, and his figure fell into Lian Sheng's arms.
