Chapter 1202 Bloody, Explosive Seed
"The second child is auspicious."

After receiving the news, Han Ji regretted a little, thinking that it would be better for his daughter to marry Wang Laoer.

Such a naive, don't have to worry about all the birds in the future, he will definitely have a good death.

And the future is bright, Han Ji calculates, and thinks that Wang Laoer will inevitably have a prince in the future.

"No, it's the lucky general!"

He Lianrong felt that using auspiciousness was too much.

At this moment, it's still early!
Yang Xuan said: "The enemy army in this battle is courageous and will not retreat an inch. I warn the whole army to cheer up."

The resistance of the Jiangzhou army was extremely fierce. As the army marched, all kinds of tragic news kept coming.

"Fifty Jiangzhou Army and more than [-] Northern Xinjiang Army encountered each other, and fought to the last man. More than [-] of us were killed or injured."

The Jiangzhou army's decisive blow made the Northern Xinjiang army tremble.

……

"Jiang Cunzhong led [-] strikers to arrive in Linde soon."

He Tong was in the lobby, hearing various news.

"Wang Laoer led the ranger has arrived."

"Our army has suffered heavy losses, but Wang Lao Er's subordinates are not much better."

He Tong opened his eyes, Chen De said: "The soldiers are not afraid of death, and they have effectively deterred the Northern Army. Congratulations."

"Don't think that they will be afraid to retreat." He Tong said: "When the army arrives, all this will begin!"

A sergeant came in, "Your Majesty, Jiang Cunzhong's troops have arrived in Linde."

……

"The forward of the Northern Xinjiang Army is approaching Jiangzhou!"

Ning Xing, the hall was dead silent.

"What did King Lianjiang say?" Changling asked.

"King Lian Jiang said, everything is under control!"

The ministers couldn't help smiling.

Then go away.

Chang Ling waved his hand, and someone lifted the curtain.

Xiao Hua said: "Lian Jiang Wang said, it's still the same sentence, go as long as you can."

"Tell him, rest assured."

Changling looked at the little emperor, "Your Majesty is resting these few days."

The little emperor nodded, got up, shook his body a few times, covered his forehead and said, "I'm dizzy!"

There was more gloom in Changling's eyes, "Medical officer!"

The doctor came in for diagnosis and treatment.

Turning around and reporting alone, "Elder Princess, this...is actually the same symptoms as the late emperor!"

Poisoned again!
Changling found Wang Ju, "I ordered you to investigate Yingwei, but there is no result?"

Wang Ju glanced at the little emperor, his eyelids twitching, "He Lianhong has been very low-key recently, and most of the things are handled by the controlling Wan Lingxiao. Wan Lingxiao has not colluded with the outside world."

"So... what about He Lianhong?"

"I ordered people to investigate He Lianhong's past and found one thing." Wang Ju raised his head, "Back then, He Lianhong's husband was capable of both civil and martial arts, and he kept himself clean. Talent is rare, and character is rare."

"But she killed this good man!" Changling said, and said to the medical officer: "Ask your majesty what he has been eating recently.".

The medical officer passed by, and Wang Ju continued:
"He Lianhong killed him on the wedding night, and then went to the palace to plead guilty. His Majesty forgave her. The family was furious, but then inexplicably died down. I want to ask, but Emperor Xiaode took action?"

Chang Ling shook his head, "I haven't heard of this matter."

"I sent people to search for the family, and found that they disappeared 12 years ago. Later, it was discovered that they had migrated to the south, and they disappeared halfway."

"Someone killed them!"

Changling's eyes were slightly cold, "It stands to reason that she was wronged. After killing that person, if she takes action against his family members, she would be inferior to animals. The family members also know this well, so why run away?"

"I inquired about the reason for the family's emigration, and said that... Ning Xing was sad and didn't want to stay for a long time. But that man's brother will take the imperial examination in the next year, and he has great hopes..."

In these clues, one can vaguely see the strangeness of this matter.But how to judge, you have to come to Changling.

Wang held a ceremony to leave.

Changling was silent for a long time.

Is it the imperial examination?
For scholars in Daliao who are interested in becoming officials, giving up the imperial examination is giving up half of their lives.

Who would do that?
"Elder Princess, Commander Yingwei Helian is here to see you."

Changling glanced at the little emperor. The medical officer had been asking questions just now, and came over and said, "Your Majesty said that he was greedy a few days ago, and he was hungry at night, so he ate the cakes they sent."

"Whoever sent it, keep an eye on it, but the pastry is still received, check it along."

"Yes!"

He Lianhong came in, and after saluting, seeing that the little emperor was a bit tired there, he asked, "Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"

Changling said casually, "It's just a little dizzy."

He Lianhong said: "The secret spies of Jin Yiwei were discovered in the city, and one person was arrested just now, but the torture failed."

"Oh!" Chang Ling asked, "Is there anything else?"

He Lianhong said: "When I heard that the Northern Xinjiang Army is coming, many people are packing their bags."

"Hand over the roster." Chang Ling said: "These people have enjoyed the benefits of the Daliao. When they are in danger, they don't want to serve the country. They just want to escape. Find a few heinous crimes and report the people's anger in the past."

"Yes!"

He Lianhong immediately resigned.

"Aunt Hong, be careful!" Chang Ling said.

Helen Hong nodded. "Elder princess also has to be careful."

Watching her go away, Changling said: "A big change is just around the corner, we need to clean up the people around us."

Wang Ju said: "Yes, I ordered them to investigate the matter of He Lianhong as soon as possible."

"Aunt Hong, I hope it's not you!"

Changling thought of his father lying on the way back, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

……

"My lord, Linde is at war."

"understood."

He Tong sat there, squinting his eyes, as if he had transformed into Huang Chunhui, the old Jiedu envoy of Northern Xinjiang.

……

Linde City was shaking under the impact of the trebuchet.

Yu Li is at the head of the city.

A stone flew up and passed by his side, without blinking his eyelids, "Jiang Cunzhong is prudent, he won't attack hastily, otherwise the old man will give him a blow."

Lieutenant He Chenggong said: "Jiang Cunzhong has been reused after three military envoys. He is not only a leader in northern Xinjiang, but he is not bad at using troops. However, [-] troops are not enough to crush us. What he can do is to be prudent. "

"The ballista is here."

Yuli stepped back a little.

call out!
The crossbow gun flew up to the top of the city, and amidst the howling sound, one person was penetrated and brought down the city by the crossbow gun.

The casualties caused by the crossbow gun were actually small, but they were breathtaking.

"The northern army is here."

As soon as the crossbow gun stopped, Yu Li waved his hand, and the soldiers from the city came up.

The siege began.

Yu Li carried a long knife and took the lead in the fight.

"For Daliao!"

Yuli growled.

As soon as a group of northern border troops occupied a section of the city, they were flanked by defenders on both sides.There is no temptation, the defenders come up with just one word.

spell!
Even if they were cut down to the ground, they would grab their opponent's ankles, scratch with their nails, and bite with their teeth.

"what!"

The shrill howls continued, and the Northern Xinjiang Army retreated for the first time.

Before the sound of gold ringing, someone withdrew.

"kill!"

The man was immediately beheaded.

The news was passed to the back, but Jiang Cunzhong actually witnessed the whole process of the man fleeing.

"understood."

Captain Zeng Guang said, "Jiang Zhonglang, the enemy army is so brave that our army was a little caught off guard. Otherwise, let's take it down and repair it!"

From the top of the city, it was obvious that the Northern Army was at a disadvantage, but their strong inertia kept them from retreating.

"This is a qi!" Jiang Cunzhong said: "If Mingjin is called at this moment, of course it can be repaired, but the lost qi will be hard to find again. Kill!"

The master general had spoken, and the soldiers could only rush forward desperately.

In the ensuing fight, the northern border army occupied the top of the city several times, but they were all driven down by the defenders.

This has never been the case.

In the afternoon, Jiang Cunzhong ordered Ming Jin.

In this battle, he felt that he had lost.

At the head of the city, Yu Li said: "Tell the king, our army will win this battle!"

……

Hetong is waiting for news.

"The battle of Linde is very important. A good start will greatly help the follow-up battle. Yu Li is loyal to Daliao, this old man has no doubts."

Chen De said: "I hope there will be a good result before Yang Xuan's main force arrives."

He Tong shook his head, "No, it's not bad that Yang Xuan is here, no, it's even better. I, the athlete of the Northern Liao Dynasty, should frighten the people of Tang Dynasty!"

"The messenger is here." Chen De saw the messenger.

The messenger approached and saluted, "Your Majesty, our army won the first battle!"

"it is good!"

He Tongtong blushed, "Send the message to the whole army, hurry up and tell Ning Xing!"

"Leader!"

Chen De said: "Daliao really needs good news!"

Jiangzhou was boiling.

Quickly rushed to Ningxing.

"King Lianjiang sent a messenger, and the first battle was won!"

Changling, who was looking after the child, was startled when he received the news, "Really?"

Wang Junian said: "Northern General Jiang Cunzhong led the army to attack Linde, and Linde's defender led his troops to fight bravely, killing more than a thousand enemies..."

Changling got up with the child in his arms, "Tell the whole city."

Immediately, the news spread throughout Ningxing City.

Xiao Hua is here.

"The northern border army obviously did not estimate the bravery of the Daliao warriors, and won the first battle. However, Yang Xuan's army followed. The eldest princess, the situation is not optimistic."

"I know." Changling said, "I will reward the Lianjiang Palace."

"Yes!"

Changling walked slowly in the palace with the child in his arms.

"Your father is defeated."

The child babbled and looked at her.

Chang Ling couldn't help but kissed him. "He will be ashamed! I really want to see how embarrassed he is."

"Elder Princess, Commander Helian is here."

"understood."

……

"Bad in the first battle?"

Yang Xuan led the Chinese army and was still a day away from Linde. After receiving the news, he was a little surprised.

"The enemy army is not afraid of death, just like wild animals."

said the messenger.

"Let He Lianrong come."

He Lianrong came, dressed in a monk's robe, looking quite out of the ordinary.

Ning Yayun sat in the corner of the big tent, glanced at him, and asked He Lianyan, "Is this person willing to come to metaphysics?"

He Lianyan's head was full of black lines, "Headmaster, he is a subject that the Duke values."

Ning Yayun said: "It doesn't delay his work in metaphysics, does it?"

He Lianyan asked curiously: "Are you trying to draw all the people around the Duke into metaphysics?"

Then, He Lianyan felt that her idea was too ridiculous.

"Yes!" The handsome old man nodded.

He Lianyan: "..."

After listening to the battle report, He Lianrong said: "Back then, Daliao was famous for being brave and not afraid of death. But these years, the dignitaries above were greedy for enjoyment, and refused to endure hardship. The same is true in the army, gradually becoming decadent. To be honest, if it was Daliao back then, it would have killed the ancients with a single slap."

There were no more than [-] people in Shegu at the beginning, and they were really no good when they met the tyrannical army of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

"That is to say, the people of Beiliao have found the wildness of the past?" Yang Xuan asked.

"No." He Lianrong shook his head, "It's bloody!"

Under the crisis of national subjugation, the Beiliao people exploded.

Wang Laoer encountered strong resistance rarely, and the great cause of harvesting the head did not go well.

"Those people are not afraid of death at all, so they just pounce on you. If you slow down, you can kill you with a bite! I saw two with their throats bitten off with my own eyes."

Wang Laoer was talking about this while eating sheep intestines.

Yang Xuan walked out of the big tent, "So, I would like to see it."

On the second day, the army set off.

In Linde City, there was still endless fighting.

The northern army continued to break through, while the defenders continued to counterattack. The two sides saw each other repeatedly, resulting in heavy casualties.

"If the Northern Liao army had such bravery in the early years, we would not have been so smooth."

Jiang Cunzhong said: "I need more than a hundred dead men!"

There is no shortage of heroes in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and everyone is eager to give an order.

"on!"

More than a hundred dead soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and other soldiers on this section of the city wall began to retreat.

Below the city, trebuchets, ballistas, and crossbow formations are all ready.

When the northern border troops on both sides withdrew, Jiang Cunzhong waved indifferently.

"Stable!"

Yu Li led his men to charge, and was currently besieging the hundreds of dead soldiers. When he heard the sound and withdrew, he saw He Chenggong pointing at the city, "They withdrew."

Yu Li was startled, looked left and right, it was empty.

"withdraw!"

It's too late!
"put!"

The arm of the trebuchet swung forward violently, driving the stones to fly out.

The ballista made a loud noise, and the crossbow gun flew out.

"Fire arrows!"

The crossbow array was powerful, and dense crossbow arrows covered the city like a dark cloud.

He Chenggong was shot by an arrow in the shoulder, and while retreating, he cursed: "What a Jiang Cunzhong, what a ruthless person!"

Yu Li squatted behind the battlements, looking at those subordinates who were howling under the crossbow arrows, with a calm expression, "He is telling me that people from northern Xinjiang are never lacking in blood. But he doesn't know what I want to do!"

The top of the city was full of corpses, and the hundreds of dead men were among them.

One of them got an arrow in the face because someone was covering his body.He lay there, looked at the defenders who forced him, and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's worth it!"

As he spoke, he lifted off the corpse on his body and bounced up violently.

In an instant, he was dismembered by knives.

The second wave of offensive began.

This time, the northern border army played an exquisite coordination, the crossbow arrows covered the back, and the siege infantry approached, forcing the defenders to charge forward with the crossbow arrows.

This time the fight was even more brutal, even Jiang Cunzhong saw the highest pile of corpses on the top of the city.

"It's too tragic."

Zeng Guang said with emotion.

"This is a step that must be taken!" Jiang Cunzhong said with a cold face.

Oh oh oh!
Thousands of riders appeared behind.

They galloped their horses, crossed from both sides, and reached the front of the formation.

In the distance, a big flag fluttered in the wind.

"The Duke is here."

Jiang Cunzhong raised his hand, "Ming Jin!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
The soldiers of the northern border army began to retreat, but this time they were extraordinarily brave. They even took advantage of the retreat and made a counterattack, killing the defenders by surprise.

Watching the Beijiang army retreat, Yu Li stood at the top of the city, looked at the big banner that was gradually approaching, and said, "Yang Xuan is here!"

Yang Xuan came riding alone, and on both sides of the split passage, countless soldiers were shouting with arms raised.

"The Duke is mighty!"
