Even though they had been prepared in their hearts, when the explosion sounded from inside the city, everyone outside the city was still deeply shocked.

But this kind of shock is beneficial to one's own side. The long-lasting roar is like the victory drum sounded in advance, which greatly improves the morale of the army outside the city. Attack the enemy's weak defense.

Frightened by the sound of the explosion, the Xiongnu soldiers were completely in disarray. In addition, the barracks arsenal was destroyed. The rain of arrows and projected weapons that should have been shot during the attack of the army failed to reach the city wall, which made the guards become more and more vulnerable. extremely difficult.

After Lan Gujian led the team to evacuate, the [-] defenders who were forced to leave behind knew that they had become abandoned. Facing the countless enemy soldiers rushing towards them, they became more and more panicked and frightened, with little fighting spirit.

In the end, the 2000 people persisted in resisting for less than a stick of incense, and the leader of the thousand riders, Liu Bian, took the lead in opening the city gate, knelt down and surrendered.

At this moment, the tall and difficult city in the past finally took off its hard armor, and Nanzhe City, the military center of Yongzhou, finally returned to Xun's hands.

After the city gate was opened, Lu Xian immediately led the army into the city. Xun Ling knew that he was going to seek revenge for the remnants of the Kong family.

He also wanted to kill the traitor who defected to the enemy and avenge his father, but as the chief general, he still had more important things to do.

"Lan Gujian and Zuo Xianwang must lead the army to retreat to the west gate. General Hua, you lead a light cavalry to chase and defeat the army. You can kill as many as you can. Once the enemy leaves the range of Shannan County, return immediately. Don't be poor. Chase."

"General Sun, please quickly lead your troops to wipe out the remnants of the Huns in the city. Remember not to hurt or disturb the people."

After receiving the order, Hua Xin and Sun Cheng embraced the order.

"General Duan, the remaining enemy prisoners will be handed over to you."

"No problem." Duan Yingxiong agreed without hesitation.

"The rest, follow me into the city, deal with the explosives, quell the chaos, and stabilize the hearts of the people."

"promise."

After issuing several orders in a row, Xun Ling turned his gaze back and looked up at the high city wall ahead. Just now, some sergeant pulled down the black banner of the Huns from the wall and replaced it with a bright banner with the word "Xun" embroidered on it. .

The vermilion flag was blown by the long wind, fluttering unrestrainedly under the bright sun, and at a certain moment, it seemed to have transformed into the red cloak on his father's shoulders, majestic and brilliant.

Staring at the picture, Xun Ling seemed to be dazzled by the blown dust, and the sockets of his eyes suddenly turned red.

He blinked hard twice, the corners of his lips raised slightly, then looked away, and led the Yongzhou army back to the city on horseback.

·

On the other hand, Lan Gujian led the evacuated thousands of Xiongnu troops all the way to the north. On the way, the infantry who fell behind the team due to exhaustion were shot and killed hundreds of people by the chasing Yongzhou army and captured thousands of people.

Threatened by the feathered arrows from the rear, the Xiongnu soldiers ran away desperately.

A chase lasted all afternoon, until Hua Xin led his troops back within the range of Dewu County, and the desperate escape finally stopped.

In the evening, the large army led by Lan Gujian caught up with Xing Sang to escort Zuo Xianwang's evacuation team by the Mizuo River. After the two armies met, the Xiongnu soldiers paused to rest.

The sun sets in the west, the setting sun is like blood, and the sunset glow burns half the sky red.

In the wilderness, the Xiongnu soldiers who had just suffered a defeat, whether they were treating their wounds or resting paralyzed, were exceptionally silent. Some soldiers discussed the reason for the loud noise that occurred in Nanzhe City this morning, but they could not find out why. As a result, it soon fell silent.

Yin Yunying's face was pale. When he was retreating earlier, Hu Yan had roughly picked him up and put him on the horse's back, and ran all the way bumping like that.

He is not a trained cavalryman, how can he stand such a violent horse riding exercise, so, in order to pursue a real performance effect, he has never adjusted his character's stats, so he had to lower his body feeling by 50.00% this time. Holding back the dizziness, he didn't spit it out.

Yin Yunying glanced at Huyan Manman calmly, since the evacuation began, the other party hadn't spoken a word to him, and after sitting down to rest, he kept silent and didn't turn his head to look at him.

It seemed that he had already guessed his true identity.

"Your Highness," Yin Yunying took the initiative to speak, and when the other party looked at her, she smiled nonchalantly, "I will go to the river to freshen up."

Huyan Manman stared at him, and nodded without saying a word.

Yin Yunying got up slowly, put her skirt on the bank of the river, took out the powder cake she carried with her to touch up her makeup under the cover of the grass, and then combed her messy hair facing the river.

Halfway through combing, he heard heavy footsteps coming from behind, turned his head, and saw Huyan Manman standing beside the grass with his back to the setting sun, his solid body was as gloomy and gloomy as a bronze statue.

"Last night, you sent a caravan into the city on the pretext of giving me a birthday present, didn't you?" He asked coldly.

Yin Yunying got up slowly, and looked at him suspiciously with slightly tired eyes: "What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

"What's in that car? Who are those businessmen? And you!" Huyan Manman took two steps closer and looked at him with sharp eyes that he had never seen before, "Who are you?"

Yin Yunying pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, then said quietly, "Your Highness thinks that I am a secret agent?"

"The deployment of Nanzhe City's city defenses is only known to me and the big pawn, and the big pawn is absolutely impossible to do it carefully. Then, only you who are closest to me can get the city defense map from me!"

Hu Yanman put out the doubts in detail, as if he was persuading the other party to admit it, but also seemed to be convincing himself, and asked in a strong tone: "The battle of Bailanxing, was it you who sent the news to Xun Ling? You were trying to save me on purpose. Life, in order to gain my trust, right? Ying'er, do you really hate Wei people from the bottom of your heart as you said?"

"The matter has come to this point, if I say I didn't do it, Your Highness won't believe me, right?"

"What else are you arguing about?"

"I won't quibble." Yin Yunying replied, her tone so calm that it could be called indifferent.

Even, he originally wanted to admit all of this, but at this moment, looking at the scene behind Huyan Manman, he suddenly realized that this scene was really wonderful, so wonderful that it was a bit ridiculous, so he couldn't help laughing out, using a kind of He said in a self-deprecating tone: "Your Highness, you think I betrayed you and caused you to fall here. You hate me and wish you could kill me, don't you?"

"What are you laughing at?" Huyan Manman could hardly contain his anger, and said coldly, "Do you think I will let you go after you have been favored by me for a few days?"

"You don't believe me," Yin Yunying smiled desolately, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes in an instant, "Then please look behind you, Your Highness, take a look, who else can you trust?"

Huyan was taken aback for a moment, realizing something in a trance, and suddenly, a chill crept up his spine.

He turned his head suddenly, and saw a row of soldiers behind him holding up bows and arrows, with sharp arrows pointing straight at him.

At some point, all his personal soldiers were put on necks with knives, and they did not dare to move, and the one standing in the center directing all this was precisely Hu Lan Gujian, whom he trusted.

Huyan Manman was astonished, and murmured in disbelief: "Why..."

But the moment he opened his mouth, he seemed to have figured everything out, pointed to Lan Gu and said: "You have taken refuge in King Guli!"

Lan Gujian obviously didn't want to explain anything, he just moved his lips and said "shoot the arrow" lightly, dozens of feathered arrows broke through the air and shot towards the river.

Huyan Manman seemed to be drained of energy by this sudden betrayal, he didn't know how to react at all, he just tensed up his body, as if he was welcoming death.

However, the expected pain did not come, and a slender red figure blocked his vision at a critical moment.

Huyan Manman opened his eyes wide, his concubine was guarding him with open arms.

The fluttering clothes of the other party flashed across his eyes, like spreading wings, blending with the gorgeous glow of the sky, like wearing clouds.

The heart began to beat violently, and Huyan Manman called out the name of his concubine.

He eagerly stretched out his arms to borrow his lover, but the woman seemed to deliberately avoid his body, turned back a few steps, and stepped into the cold river water.

Turning around, Huyan Manman saw that her body was covered with gray and white feather arrows blocked by him, and the blood was flowing wantonly, dyeing the already gorgeous dress even more colorfully.

The woman smiled softly and sadly at him, and while staring at him, big teardrops rolled down from her eye sockets, she closed her eyes at last, her body fell into the river water burning with red clouds as if falling apart .

"Shadow!"

Huyan Manman called out loudly and wanted to chase into the water, but his footsteps were as heavy as lead, so he could only stand there in a daze.

On the surface of the river, it was hard to tell whether it was blood, the dress, or the reflected magnificent sunlight. They quietly wrapped the woman's body, and the snow-white face was shockingly beautiful at this moment.

Huyan watched the bright red blood spreading in the water in a daze, and felt a pain like being corroded in his heart, and the bone-chilling chill permeated his whole body, as if he was the person lying in the icy river water.

Surrounded by such hopeless pain, he couldn't help but have a thought.

——It's better to die for love, die for love, than die for betrayal.

Huyan Manman was seized by this belief, so he turned around and shouted at Lan Gujian: "You want to kill me, King Zuoxian, okay, come on, shoot arrows at me, kill I!"

After that, he began to laugh out loud, sad and heart-piercing.

"Looking for death." Lan Gujian snorted coldly, raised his hand, and was about to open his mouth to direct the arrow, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the sound of a sharp knife passing through his body clearly echoed in his ears.

He turned his head slowly, and met a face as cold as a beast.

In an instant, Lan Gujian's eyes were about to split open, and he raised his hand suddenly to grab the opponent's neck: "How dare you betray, betray..."

Before he finished speaking, Xing Sang pulled out the dagger, blood overflowed from Lan Gujian's mouth, his eyes opened angrily unwillingly, and he fell on his back to the ground.

This happened unexpectedly. Seeing that the main household was killed, the surrounding soldiers were in chaos. Without someone in command, no one dared to attack Zuo Xianwang again, and instead pointed their finger at Xing Sang.

Xing Sang quickly put away the dagger, pulled out the long knife, turned around and landed conveniently to kill the two people.

In the gap, he turned his head to look at Huyan Manman who was standing dumbfounded by the river, and said a word to him clearly and coldly: "Get out!"

Seeing the reversal of the situation, those soldiers of Huyan Manman who were under control took advantage of the chaos to fight back and fought with Lan Gujian's men.

More than a dozen personal soldiers pulled out and ran to the river to support Huyan Manman's escape.

"Your Highness, let's go!"

"The major households have rebelled, and the soldiers here are all their subordinates. These people are no longer trustworthy!"

The thought of Huyan Manman's martyrdom still remained in his mind, he looked back at the woman's body floating in the river, and said anxiously: "Ying'er, take Ying'er away..."

But the situation was critical, and the soldiers had no time to take care of a woman, let alone a corpse.

Huyan Manman was forced to sit on the horse, and the guards whipped the horse towards the horse. A dozen horses quickly fled towards the north, and disappeared on the road not long after.

The more than 4000 Xiongnu soldiers who were resting on the spot were completely confused by the scene in front of them. Except for Lan Gujian's personal soldiers, no one else knew about the big family's plan to assassinate King Zuo Xian.

As an army loyal to the Great Chanyu, they were supposed to protect King Zuoxian, but at that time, King Zuoxian was already in danger, and the one who did it was a prestigious and powerful household, and no one dared to stop it, so everyone Everyone indirectly became Lan Gujian's accomplice.

Because of this concern, at this moment, they neither dared to follow Zuo Xianwang nor participated in the chaos. All the soldiers of the Jie family took the opportunity to flee, and all the generals above a thousand leaders fell in a pool of blood. In the end, there was only one general of the Jie tribe standing there covered in blood.

The setting sun had already set, and as night fell, moonlight poured into the earth like a clear tide, sprinkled on the weapons and corpses piled up in the wilderness.

Xing Sang walked up to the army with murderous aura all over his body, swept his sharp eyes across the crowd, and said indifferently: "Da Shanyu is critically ill, and his family has taken refuge with King Guli, and Zhuanqu Yanshi ordered him to kill him." Dead Zuo Xianwang wants to seize the throne, and you are all his accomplices!

"But now, King Zuo Xian is not dead, once he returns to the royal court and inherits the position of Grand Chanyu, you will all die.

"Whether you want to return to the royal court or follow me, it's up to you to choose."

After the words fell, the atmosphere became tense.

For many years, everyone has been under the command of the big boss. Now that the big boss is dead, the sergeants suddenly lost their backbone. They also heard about the internal turmoil in the royal court. They were afraid that they would be regarded as a thorn in the side of Zuo Xianwang, so at the moment Xing Sang threw out his choice , most people already have a tendency.

Not long after, a hundred cavalry commander came out first and said: "Xing Qianchang is brave and mighty, and I would like to serve the thousand cavalry commander."

Someone took the lead, followed by several others who came out to show their loyalty. In the end, all the Xiongnu soldiers who stayed here expressed their loyalty: "We are willing to follow Qianchang!"

"Okay." Xing Sang pursed his lips, turned around and walked to his mount, and got on the horse, "Have you had enough rest? If you have enough rest, leave here with me!"

"Qianchang, no, leader, where are we going now?" A hundred cavalry chief asked.

Xing Sang glanced across the plain, and calmly said, "Go west, to Xizhou."

·

A quarter of an hour later, the Xiongnu army who fled to Dewu County temporarily changed their course and headed for Xizhou, which was in constant war.

Leading thousands of his own soldiers, he galloped his horse towards an unknown place, and the cool night wind whizzed by his ears. Xing Sang felt extremely happy, as if he was a wild beast that had regained his freedom and was released.

And in this world, apart from himself, there is only one person who knows that he is a beast.

Xing Sang turned his head and looked at the night sky in the direction of Xunzhou, where there were many stars, and the sky was full of silver light.
