Cang Ri Qing Lan

The naturally formed fault divides the land into two parts. The sunken side is connected to the desert with Nanhui and yellow sand all over the sky, and the raised side is the huge territory of Dazun.To the south to the sea, to the north to Zheling on the edge of the Jingguo grassland, a fault stretching for thousands of miles, the long and wide [-]-degree slope in front of Xiaocheng is a suitable passage for troops to enter, and the half of the city behind the city is a flat river , it can be said that once Xiaocheng was broken, half of them went there.But it is also the most difficult gateway to enter. The city is high and the walls are thick, overlooking the desert, occupying the best location.

Xiaocheng, entrenched on the cliff, goes straight into the sky. This is no longer a city, but a checkpoint on the cliff.Although this is the busiest city for trade and commerce between the two countries in peacetime, in recent years there have been many wars, and a large number of officers and soldiers have been stationed in the city, causing disturbances to the people from time to time. Nearly [-]% of the nearly [-] people escaped the disaster of war. Garrisoned soldiers.Only those who are convinced that they will not break the city or cannot leave remain here.

In the west, the sun is shining brightly, illuminating the outline of Xiaocheng. The tall and thick city wall is like a golden crown, shining among the mountains.A goshawk flew over from nowhere, circled several times over the city, and its clear cry was heard far away in the wilderness.

He Jing, who stayed behind, led the cavalry in strong and sharp clothes to line up on both sides of the city gate. The fierce south wind came from behind, and the cape was rolled up and hunting.Looking to the north, a group of horses and horses came into sight against the wind, and the dust raised up rolled behind the horses, and soon disappeared in the strong wind.

Let the horse go for two steps, not sure if it is the person to wait for.It was only a day before he received a hand letter from General Shen, ordering him to send troops to meet Prince Yi. Calculated the distance to Xia Yun Town, he should be able to return in two days.

As the group approached, He Jing had already seen clearly the subordinates he had sent for the Ten Cavalrymen, and the leading man Pang Yingwu was his immediate superior, so he jumped off his horse and went to meet them.

"Great general!" He Jing glanced at the huge carriage, only to see that the curtains were tightly closed, and thought to himself that the prince is really delicate and fleshy, and he was not convinced that the emperor forced him to send a boss, but now he is even more dissatisfied, and only sees Shen Haozhe After the ceremony, Prince Yi was not mentioned.After saluting, he realized that there were three horsemen walking beside the carriage. His face was full of disdain, and he was bumping into the eyes of the snow-haired boy in white clothes. And pass.The young master in Tsing Yi frowned at him and followed him without saying a word.After the man in black had passed, he suddenly remembered that the silver hair was the symbol of the royal family of Dazun. He felt a little uneasy, but he also remembered that he had been in the border for many years and still had some prestige in the army. Prince Yi couldn't do anything to him, so he let it go. Come on.

A few generals were called to meet later, even if the handover is over.According to the usual practice, all the battalions should gather on the second day, and Cang Lan sent orders to order troops.

In the early morning of the next day, all the teams assembled on the school field finally arrived at the last moment. The soldiers whispered to each other in twos and threes, and stood in a large area loosely, but they didn't look like they were there.Some people think that Cang Lan is an idiot is certainly one of the reasons, but in fact the atmosphere in the military is really not good.Although Shen Haozhe's rule is strict, there are places that he can't reach in the entire southwest garrison. The garrison of Xiaocheng is one of them. Because this city has the reputation of being impossible to capture, the minions sent by the dignitaries to the army will naturally be afraid of it. By choosing this treasure land of geomantic omen, Xiaocheng's barracks became the dwelling place of generals who had no intention of fighting at all. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and the soldiers under these generals' tents are also very relaxed. Qi.The turmoil in the court has long been the general trend, and there are still a few people in Xiaocheng who can really lead troops, but they have enough energy to spare.Shen Haozhe, who is used to power struggles, also knows that offending some people will cause endless troubles, so he can only turn a blind eye.The officer who was sent to die in the inn by Cang Lan before was also a cronies promoted by those people without permission, so there was an oolong incident of ignorance of the commander-in-chief.

But this group of people are fooling around, but Prince Yi is even more sloppy than them.Everyone waited and waited, but he was nowhere to be seen on the school grounds.

Qingling circled around the room twice,

"My lord, over there on the school grounds..."

"My wound hurts." Cang Lan held the tea and hummed a few words half-truthfully, but the smile on her face was completely different.

"You...do you want to call Doctor Tang?" Clearly knowing that he was talking casually, Qingling was still worried. She should have stayed at the inn for a few more days, but Cang Lan insisted on going on the next day. Fortunately, Tang Tuo asked Accompany him, let him feel a little more at ease.Since when is it no longer restraining Cang Lan by her own advances and retreats, but because of a little incident.

Shen Haozhe came in just in time to see this scene, looked at the two of them without any trace, and said with a blank face:

"My lord, it's time for the lower officials to go to the camp, come and say goodbye."

"Here, Qingling, the general hasn't gone to the school ground yet."

"My lord thinks that now is not the time to subdue the morale of the army, and he doesn't want to waste time. How dare the subordinate officials obstruct it."

"General Shen has piercing eyes, it seems that he is in good health?"

How could Shen Haozhe fail to hear his implication, he just pretended not to hear:

"It can't compare to the prince's mirror hanging high."

"Well said, the general really has eyesight. Now I feel so comfortable that I can at least go to the school grounds." Cang Lan laughed, stood up, and suddenly found that Qingling looked at Shen Haozhe with some speculation in his eyes, and then glanced at him again. Shen Haozhe's eyelids seemed to be lowered deliberately... The cheerful laughter turned silent and ambiguous, and he put his hand on Shen Haozhe's shoulder:

"Qingling, do you also find that the general is so heroic that he can't leave his eyes?"

Before Qingling could react, Shen Haozhe was shocked and bounced two steps away.

Not good.As soon as these two words appeared in his mind, Shen Haozhe saw Cang Lan tilt his head and chuckle, and the other party's eyes were full of interest that made him shudder.Shen Haozhe knew that he had acted a little too much, but the effect of the medicine the day before yesterday seemed to be still there, because he was forced to endure it, but in fact, the medicine's properties were not fully exerted. Although he could move freely the next day, his strength had not yet recovered. I also feel a little weak and my body is also extremely sensitive.Thinking of the day before yesterday, Shen Haozhe's face turned hot, his uneasiness naturally did not escape Cang Lan's eyes.

"Why is the general so guarded against me? Are you afraid that I will kill you?" Smiling, he took a step forward. It was really interesting to see Shen Haozhe froze there without showing too much trace. He simply reached out and hooked his arm Neck, successfully made the other party tense up: "The night before yesterday, the general, you took the initiative to come to me..."

"My lord! Some jokes are not funny!" interrupted Cang Lan without hesitation, and in return he looked surprised, but his eyes were clearly narrowed:

"—Come and ask me for a drink...does this sentence sound like a joke?"

Shen Haozhe gritted his teeth secretly, and simply didn't answer.

"Report to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, General!"

A subordinate came in a hurry, distracting everyone's attention:

"The army of Hui bandits suddenly appeared! It is less than five miles away from the city!"

"There is only a military report five miles away from the city, and this Huiguo army is really elusive." Cang Lan laughed.

"My lord shouldn't care about the omissions in the army anymore." Shen Haozhe didn't know whether he should say it was okay in this situation, but he finally took the opportunity to distance the two of them. chance?"

Cang Lan rubbed her eyebrows when she heard the words, as if helpless:

"You've shown your sharpness in front of me recently, aren't you afraid that I'll be afraid of you seeing too clearly?"

"I'm afraid I haven't reached the point where I can see through the prince. Besides, since the prince has such a question, I won't be afraid."

"Hao Zhe..." seemed to be distressed, "I really like you...Even so, you can't rely on this to expose my trump card."

"I...!" Cang Lan took Xing Ye and walked away. The general who is known for his calmness and stability immediately made a fuss about Guan Gong. up.

After Qingling's eyes shifted, he stood still for a long time, and then rushed towards the city wall.

Cang Lan stood facing the wind at the top of the city, and Xing Ye followed closely.As far as the eye can see, the billowing sand tide surges from the sky, undulating along with the winding terrain, black-painted people and horses appear and disappear from time to time.

As the enemy army approached, you could hear the sound of rumbling horseshoes crashing away in the open space, interspersed with howling shouts, and the tsunami was overwhelming, as if it could crush all obstacles in front of it.They rushed to about [-] steps in front of the city with smoke and dust, and the shouting stopped suddenly, and the army stopped in unison.The misty yellow sand gradually dispersed, and the black cavalry lined up below the city, and it looked like there were no less than [-].

With so many people standing quietly in the city, there was no commotion. A gust of autumn wind blew by, and a murderous spirit spread in front of the formation.

"Who is the commander of the enemy army?" Cang Lan frowned when he saw a dazzling scarlet flag in the army, he seemed to have some vague information about this flag.

"It seems that it should be He Lian Yuya, the Right Prime Minister of Hui Kingdom." Shen Haozhe also stared at the flag with a serious expression.

"The 'Red Tiger' of the desert?!" Qingling was taken aback, the name had already been heard in the court.

"General, do you want to urgently mobilize the Monan garrison to help out?" He Jing squeezed sweat in his palms. This was the largest attack of Huiguo's army, and He Lian Yuya, who is known as both wise and brave, personally escorted him. Array.Hui's strength can be said to be the greatest contribution. This person assisted King Hui and incorporated various tribes with the least consumption in just five years.Although Hui was originally the most powerful force in the desert and the Gobi, it was by no means easy to unify the Southwest of Lu in such a short period of time. His reputation was no less than that of Shen Haozhe even in the border town of Dalong.

"What does the lord think?" Shen Haozhe actually asked for Cang Lan's opinion, which shocked He Jing who had been following him.

"It's great that the general's army can come, but..." Before Cang Lan could finish speaking, a burst of war drums suddenly sounded.

The queue separated, and the tall boarding cars pushed by several teams went up the hillside.

Shouts, shouts, earth-shattering sounded again, and before Cang Lan gave an order, a soldier with a huge crossbow at the top of the city was so frightened that he shot the ballista out. Everything was mobilized, and arrows and rolling stones intertwined in the sky like locusts, overwhelming mountains and seas and sinking down.

Cang Lan frowned, the enemy did not enter the range at all, most of them missed.

The ladder got closer and closer to the city wall, and the charge finally started. The sound of the drums became more and more dense, and was gradually covered by the roar of tens of thousands of people, and the soldiers came like a tide.

When the second wave of attack on the city was launched, someone had already rushed to the bottom of the city.But after all, Xiaocheng occupies a favorable location. The sound of falling boulders overwhelmed the screams of the enemy soldiers, shaking the ground, and hitting the huge boarding vehicle from time to time. Press out a piece of plasma.One by one, the arrows pierced the sea of ​​people like it was raining. I saw spots of bright red slowly blooming under the city. The enemy soldiers were still stepping on the sea of ​​blood, rushing up desperately. The erected ladder was pushed down several times, and the corpses They began to pile up at the corner of the city, and after a stalemate for nearly half an hour, Nanhui's army finally began to retreat in embarrassment.

"My lord! The last general, Jiang Lin, invites troops to fight. Taking advantage of the momentum to pursue the Hui bandits, we will surely win a big victory!" The morale of the city was immediately boosted, and a general immediately stepped forward to ask for a fight.Shen Haozhe recognized that this person was one of the pawns of the party's subordinates in the court. Just now, he was still trembling and wanted to leave but did not dare to leave. Seeing that the enemy soldier was seriously injured, he wanted to take this opportunity to do meritorious service in front of Prince Yi, completely forgetting that he was just beaten by the opponent's courage. shocked.

"The lower official thinks that it is not possible to go out of the city to fight. Although the enemy's army has been damaged, it is not as strong as its vitality, and the retreat is too pretentious. It is very likely that it is a trick to lure the enemy." Shen Haozhe said with eyebrows raised.

"What the general said is very true, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so it is not appropriate to be greedy for merit." He Jing also said that he had only one word for Shen Haozhe's judgment after serving in the army for many years.

"Your Majesty, Hui Kou clearly suffered a loss and lost, and because of their large number, it is easier to take this opportunity to pursue and suppress them. We can't wait for them to regroup." Jiang Lin was a little timid at first, but He Jing was in the army. He has blocked his hands and feet many times, and he has long hated him. After he said this, he couldn't show weakness to him in front of Cang Lan, "Besides, just retreating into the city will not damage our national prestige." Most of the generals immediately echoed, He Jing wanted to say something, but seeing that Shen Haozhe stopped talking, he also swallowed it back.

"Okay, I allow you to go out of the city to pursue."

Unexpectedly by Qing Ling, Cang Lan smiled and made a final decision.He didn't adopt Shen Haozhe's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Shen Haozhe's words were even more unexpected:

"So, my subordinates, please join the battle!"

Cang Lan looked back,

Gale lifted his silver hair from behind, obviously smiling, but it made people feel chills like Shura:

"Okay. Please go ahead, General."

Dingding looked at Shen Haozhe for a moment, then said:

"I want you to see that I give the order to pursue, and I will stop when the order is executed."

"...Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

After a short incline, the heavy city gate slowly rose, and six thousand cavalrymen were divided into two columns and flew out like a pair of spears, hitting the enemy's back directly, and blood and flesh flew everywhere they rushed, killing the enemy like mowing grass .

After such a charge, they had already penetrated deep into the enemy's abdomen, and saw the soldiers of Hui Kingdom scattered to both sides, Cang Lan suddenly sent an order to call Jin:

"Enough! Withdraw!"

The generals at the top of the city were stunned for a moment. The situation in front of them is so good that it would be a pity to withdraw their troops. Just as they were about to speak, they suddenly heard a few horns from the other side. .

At the same time, when Shen Haozhe received the order to return to the army, it seemed that he and Cang Lan had the same mind, without hesitation for a moment, a swarthy green sword flew left and right, and the 3000 men he led didn't stop, and they were already slashing through the enemy group. Made a semicircle, rushed out from the left, unstoppable!It happened to stick to the encircled enemy army in two arcs and staggered past.

On the other side, Jiang Lin, who was killing smoothly on the left, had already heard Mingjin, but he was eager for success and was still rushing forward. Suddenly, he found that the Hui army in front of him was rushing back, and the road behind him was gradually gathering. Shout out, turn the horse's head and run away.He was not at the front at all, and it was easy to run this time, but the three thousand cavalry he commanded immediately made a mess. A few barely keep up.

The commander-in-chief of the two teams made a verdict, and the faction fighting for power in the city broke out in cold sweat seeing this scene, and secretly rejoiced that they hadn't snatched this opportunity to do meritorious deeds just now.

Cang Lan watched Jiang Lin break out of the encirclement with cold eyes, and frowned suddenly.

I saw Shen Haozhe brushing past the edge of the encirclement, but he led his troops to circle around, biting his tail behind Hui Jun and killing them.

With this response, Jiang Lin's first team finally reorganized and killed them.As soon as the gap opened, thousands of troops led by Shen Haozhe rushed back to the city behind the long snake, and the troops led by Jiang Lin followed closely behind, but they fled in a hurry, the situation reversed, and they were dragged behind by Hui Jun to kill them. People kept falling to their deaths.The people in the city could only act in a hurry, as the enemy army was mixed among their own people, and the arrows and crossbows could not move too much.Jiang Lin's three thousand soldiers were entangled by the enemy soldiers and fled while fighting, and it seemed that three points had passed.

At a critical moment, Shen Haozhe galloped back single-handedly, one man and one horse in the ten thousand army were like a dragon rising from the sea, invincible.Seeing this scene, all the soldiers at the top of the city applauded loudly, and their momentum overwhelmed the roar of the enemy.The pressure on the besieged men and horses was greatly reduced immediately, the morale of the army was lifted, they got rid of the enemy and rushed into the city.

Everyone on the city wall held their breath and looked at Shen Haozhe after the last break, all admiring in their hearts.

But seeing him fighting and retreating to the city, a large number of people also approached!It seems that Hui Jun will be able to take advantage of the momentum to enter immediately, and some people in the city are already starting to soften their feet...

"Close the city gate."

Cang Lan said coldly.

"My lord! The general hasn't entered the city yet..." He Jing rushed to speak, but was swept away by Cang Lan's expressionless face, and immediately fell silent.He also knew very well that if the city gates were not closed at this time, the enemy troops would definitely rush in.The others had their own plans, and no one said anything.

The falling of the city gate, which weighed a thousand catties, seemed to shake the whole city, raising a cloud of dust and isolating Shen Haozhe and the thousands of troops.
