The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 19 Battlefield ([-])

Tangshan is still full of traffic, bustling and bustling, and there is no sign of the decadence after the defeat of Luoshui.However, as soon as he entered the territory of Shenshan, the smell of horse leather shrouds on the battlefield came oncoming.

After Emperor Chu Yujia was captured, nearly ten cities in the south of Shenshan, including Shende, Shenwu, and Shenjiang, were all caught in the flames of war. The two important border towns of Shende and Shenwu had been taken by Nanzhao.

As soon as Changji entered the Shenshan area, he met the soldiers of the Shenshan Mansion confiscating war horses. The Shenshan Mansion was not doing well in the war, and now it is the time when there is a shortage of war horses. No wonder Tangshan is full of horse dealers selling horses to Shenshan.Chang's horses were also confiscated, so they had to go south on foot.

When approaching Shenjiang, Nan Zhaojin, the eldest son of Emperor Nanzhao, suddenly sent troops to attack Shenjiang. The soldiers of the left battalion in the west of the city fought hard for three days and nights, and finally blocked Nan Zhaojin's offensive and kept this important military town.But there were heavy casualties, the city wall nearly collapsed in half, and the Changsha entered the city. Walking on the dilapidated streets in the city, one could see billowing black smoke and corpses everywhere.

Not far away, the shoes on her feet were already stained with blood.Most of the houses in the city were destroyed, and there were ruins everywhere. The people moved out of the city long ago, and only the soldiers of Shenshan Mansion remained in the city. Wrap the corpses of comrades who died in battle.

The living are not as many as the dead.

The more Chang Ji walked into the city, the more corpses he saw wrapped in white cloth.When she reached the city, she was stopped by two soldiers.Shen Jiang has just fought a war, and the war is still raging, they do not allow the people behind Shen Jiang to come to Shen Jiang.Chang Wei took out the jade card from Shen Shan Mansion, and when they saw the jade card, they immediately saluted Chang Wei with fists in their hands.

Chang Ji said: "Who is guarding Shen Jiang now?"

The two soldiers said: "Left General Shen Shanzhi."

Chang Ji immediately went to the camp where he was stationed.After a night of fighting, almost all the soldiers who returned to the camp were wounded. There were wounded and disabled soldiers everywhere in the camp, and the sound of pain and groans could be heard everywhere.

After entering the camp, he saw a tall and tall man coming out of a tent in front of him. The black armor on his body was chopped to pieces, and the bronze helmet on his head was only removed. His hair was messy and his forehead was bloody. The flow continued, but it was just wrapped in gauze indiscriminately. Standing in front of the tent, he ordered the military doctor to go to each tent to treat the wounded in an orderly manner.

It was Shen Sanzhi.

He is Yuan Che's cousin, among the younger generation in Shen Shan Mansion, apart from Yuan Che, he is the oldest.He also grew up watching Chang'an, and has always loved Chang'an as his own sister.

Listening to his voice, Chang Ji called out, "Brother."

Shen Shanzhi turned around abruptly. He has practiced in the military camp all year round. His two thick eyebrows were stained by the wind and frost of swords and swords on the battlefield, and his pair of star eyes were full of the blood and sincerity of a warrior. With red eyes, he stepped forward a few steps, cupped his fists at Chang Wei, and knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness..."

Chang Ji hurriedly stepped forward to support him. The tough general had never shed a single tear even when he was wounded and bled on the battlefield, but now he could not hold back his tears and said: "The Shenshan Mansion did not keep His Highness... Shenshan 33 Battalion, soldiers He didn't die in battle, but made His Highness humiliated and married..."

Chang Ji saw the tragic situation on the battlefield all the way, and his heart ached, and when he heard Shen Shanzhi say this, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Suddenly I heard a soldier crying in the tent behind him: "Elder Master...Elder Master..."

When Chang Ji heard "Elder Prince", he thought it was someone calling Yuanche, and when he looked inside the tent, his complexion turned pale. She rushed into the tent, and there was a person lying in the middle of the tent, covered from head to toe by a white cloth, No face could be seen, only rough outlines.

Chang Ji's figure flickered and he could hardly stand up.

Shen Shanzhi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, he is not a big brother..."

Chang Ji said: "He is..."

Her voice was trembling.

Shen Shanzhi said: "He is the eldest son of the Yangtu family, Yangtu Cong. He died in the battle with Nan Zhaojin's rebels yesterday..."

Chang Wei seemed to lose his strength, and sat softly on the ground, and after a while he calmed down and said: "Does Prime Minister Zuo know about this?"

Shen Shanzhi said: "When I learned of his death yesterday, I ordered someone to send a letter to Niechuan Mansion and Yangtu Mansion. By today, Mr. Zuo Xiang and old Mr. Yangtu should know the news of Mr. Cong's death in battle. The young master also said a few days ago that he had made a marriage contract with Mr. Zuo Xiang for many years, and after this battle was over, he would go to Lidu to marry Mr. Zuo Xiang no matter what, but he did not expect that he..."

He choked up, covered his face and said, "Nanzhao and Luoshui have always been at odds. I don't know how many fights they have fought over the years. They have never been so tragic. The prince died in battle, and the second uncle Yangtu rushed up Yue also died in the battle. In Yangtu Mansion, in addition to Mr. Cong, several other sons of the side branches also died. In our mansion, 25 major generals died, and 33 generals died. The [-]rd Battalion suffered many casualties. The entire army of the middle camp and the west of the city were wiped out, and almost all of these two camps are descendants of the Shenshan Mansion..."

Chang Ji said: "The 33rd Battalion of Shenshan has millions of troops, even if Nan Zhaojin led 80 cavalry to attack, how could they be beaten to such a degree?"

Shen Shanzhi said: "When Nan Zhaojin first led his troops to attack, the prince and elder brother rushed to the border one after another to suppress his offensive and forced him back to the border of Shenshan. Seeing that Nan Zhaojin was about to be defeated, Your Majesty But at this time, the imperial conquest is in person. Since His Majesty has arrived at the border, the prince and eldest brother have no control over all matters in the army, and all are decided by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty underestimated the enemy, and was determined to attack Nanzhao and bring down Nanzhao Mountain. He was ambushed by Nanzhao Jin, and Yujia was trapped at the foot of Nanzhao Mountain. The prince led the west camp to rescue him. On the way to rescue him, he encountered Nanzhaojin. Outflanked, but failed to break out... I received the military report and immediately led troops to reinforce it. When I arrived at the foot of Nanzhao Mountain, there was no one left alive in the middle camp in the west of the city. ..."

It was difficult for him to continue at this point, but he couldn't help wiping his tears at the beginning.Chang Ji's face was pale and dignified, his hands clenched into fists trembling in his sleeves.

Shen Shanzhi said: "At that time, Yujia had been held hostage by Nan Zhaojin. Eldest brother also heard the news and led the Zuoyi Battalion in the south of the city to rescue him. I arrived one step behind him. When we arrived there, the Zuoyi Battalion suffered heavy casualties. I have fought many battles, but I have never seen such a scene, Nanzhao has only a few hundred people, but he killed a battalion of soldiers..."

Chang Ji said tremblingly, "This...how is this possible?"

He said: "It's the cold flame technique. Your Highness, it's the cold flame technique."

Chang Ji shuddered all over, cold flames!
Back then, Empress Huixian and Prince Gongde died from the cold flame technique. In the fasting palace full of death and curse, year after year, all the maids who died beside her died from the cold flame technique.

Those memories in the dark suddenly rushed into her mind, and Chang Mo felt a layer of scarlet blood mist filled her eyes.Na Na said: "Cold Flame... Isn't the Cold Flame gone?"

　A certain author looked at everyone eagerly and wished everyone a Merry Christmas!
