twin moon

Amidst the screams of killing, Yu Li personally led the "Orphan Army" to take the lead for Luqiu Borong.Behind him is the vanguard general Ying Ren who sits in command, together with hundreds of soldiers from the Peng Kingdom.All the sergeants, without exception, carried a weapon called a fire crossbow.

Fire-throwing crossbow, as the name suggests, is a weapon specially used by the Peng Kingdom to project blue flames.At first glance, it looks like a crossbow used to shoot ordinary arrows, but it is slightly thicker.

However, if you look carefully, you can find that there is an additional hanger that is as thick as an arm on the string.The lower part of the vertical block is fixed by a machine bracket, and a hemispherical small socket is arranged at the upper end for interlocking movement.Under the rapid push of the string machine, it is even possible to project a fist-sized iron lump weighing more than a few kilograms to a place two hundred steps away.

Although such a range cannot be compared with ordinary bows and arrows.But compared to human throwing, it is several times or even ten times farther.For the already weak "Orphan Army", it is even more powerful.

Now, Tianhuo Lei was thrown into the air in an instant by the fire crossbow, and fell almost at the same time.The flames produced by the explosion illuminated the dark night under the ice as if it were daytime, and also cast a strange blue-purple color on the faces of everyone present.

However, this seemingly massive offensive did not use one percent of its strength at all. Yu Li didn't even order the "Orphan Army" to sacrifice firebolts.And the only effect right now is to let Luqiu Borong, who is watching the battle from a distance, hear the loud noises and see the raging flames.

But even this level of attack was enough to make Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin overwhelmed.With the help of Ning Yue, they erected several towering ice shields in the ruins.However, Ying Ren led his army northward this time, but brought out all the remaining Lan Yan from the country.Under the successive pincer attacks of the sky fire and thunder, the ice shield was quickly breached until it completely melted and disintegrated.

General Yan and Qi Ziyin, who were stretched to the limit and unable to resist, did not expect that after such a strong offensive, the Peng Guojun did not march forward, but seemed to be deliberately delaying time by erecting an ice shield for themselves.

However, Ning Yue's physical strength has already reached its limit.The ice shield condensed with all the effort was as thin as paper, and was crushed by its own weight before it was even attacked, turning into debris all over the place.Even if the rest of the people wanted to help, they were powerless and could only back away again.

At the same time, the army of the princes has already been in chaos.

"I understand..."

"This move—maybe it's just to send more reinforcements to help the king?"

"It's a big mistake! The coalition army behind you and me is called the reinforcements, and it is actually a war supervisor! If I don't attack with all my strength, these two people will definitely attack my rear first, and then move forward! But I will never It was so easy to be calculated by a woman, and immediately ordered all the fire crossbows to turn around and strike first!"

"Where did the harmony come from? Ever since Nanhua swallowed us and made Dacheng River Corridor, the two countries have become sworn enemies!"

Yu Li, who hurried back, didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yingren's gourd, and asked out of breath.

"Yes. In terms of experience in fighting those Shuodi savages, I am afraid that you Chengguo is not even close to one-twelfth of my Nanhua. What qualifications do you have, let alone killing the enemy! If you want to say please fight, you should also belong to the I, Nanhua, are the most qualified!"

When several lords were arguing, the one who came out to smooth things over was, as expected, still the Yu Kingdom.Now, Xiu Yunzhi is the youngest of all, but he has completely inherited his father Xiu Jingwen's ability to see the wind, but the ability to protect himself is that no one will buy his face.

"Why did the lord call me back? The ice shield in the opponent's formation has already been cleared, and this is the opportunity to charge!"

It was night, and the empress, who had removed her thin scale armor, could not sleep.

Seeing the emperor's unkind expression, the other party immediately guessed the reason, and couldn't help trembling, even the voice trembling uncontrollably:

She was so furious that she deeply regretted why she had not been able to get rid of Ying Ren, the old wolf, as decisively as she had done with Qin Yijian when she succeeded Datong at Suoyang Pass, leaving endless disasters today.

Originally, Yin Qianzhi and Tan Mengsheng were a little passive and idle, but they suddenly saw the deadly weapon that was supposed to be shot at the enemy's formation, but fell towards their heads, and immediately ordered the soldiers under their command to scatter to avoid it.

However, the sky fire thunder in mid-air would not wait any longer and landed directly at his feet.With the sound of explosions, limbs and arms, blood and internal organs were scattered and splashed.Before they could gain a firm foothold, they were already wailing everywhere, defeated and defeated.

"Where did Cheng Guogong get his confidence? Think back more than 60 years ago, when Brother Ying led an army to defend Gyeonggi and fought fiercely with tens of thousands of powerful enemies at Suoyang Pass, you hadn't come out of your mother's womb! Don't interrupt, don't interrupt! Don't you think the scene is not chaotic enough?!"

Duke Peng on the opposite side knew that even though the Red Flame Army and the Ye Army had been defeated, if they fought hand-to-hand, what awaited him would still be an extremely hard nut to crack.He originally planned to recruit Yu Li first to show his loyalty, and then ask Luqiu Borong to retreat on the grounds of being unable to attack for a long time, to preserve his strength and wait for an opportunity to move again.However, he was rebellious, and at this moment, he suddenly saw more than a thousand soldiers coming to kill him, but he made a mistake in judgment, and cursed in anger:

The clerk immediately bowed and bowed, and hurriedly retreated.It's just that he didn't expect that, half an hour later, the tent he was staying in burst into flames without warning, and all the books and papers recorded in the tent including himself and the tent were burned.

Tan Mengsheng, who was over thirty years old, had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and was the nephew of the childless Tan Yijian.It's just that he never thought of avenging his uncle, he only hoped to get some credit in front of the new emperor.

"Did Mr. Qin come here to make a joke? When your grandfather Yin went to build Zonghengmian and Sizhou, you, Nanhua, could only be a coward. Now that my father died suddenly and the country is in turmoil, we can't tolerate a petty man like you." People put their beaks on!"

Yin Qian's anger drank, he rushed forward and wanted to attack Tan Mengsheng, but fortunately he was stopped by the guards on the left and right, but he still grinned and gnashed his teeth.

However, his fingertips are holding a thin wolf hair that has just been dipped in ink.In a panic, he hurriedly put his hands behind his back.

At the same time, General Yan and Qi Ziyin, who were already in jeopardy and almost defeated by the attack of Tian Huo Lei, also saw hope again because of this accident.

"I know that damned woman still doesn't believe in others after all! Let me, Pengguo, take the lead first, and use up my strength. Now, taking advantage of the emptiness at the back of my formation, I actually sent two difficult opponents, Chengguo and Nanhua. It is to put me to death!"

But when the army holding the two-color flags of Chengguo and Nanhua moved to the rear of the Pengguo army at full speed, Ying Ren had already secretly ordered Yu Li, who was attacking in front of the formation, to return to the division to defend.

"I haven't had time to write half a word yet - I don't know what your Majesty's instructions are?"

"What is Ying Ren doing! Now that the door of the bandits is wide open, it is a good opportunity to take them down in one go! I am willing to lead a thousand elite troops from Chengguo to surround them from both wings, and take the rebellious head of the Qi family. Your Majesty please agree." !"

Yin Qian, the new emperor of Chengguo, was eager to make meritorious service in front of the new emperor, so he immediately stepped forward to ask for a fight.However, Lu Song, the lord of the Kingdom of Dun, who was standing aside, snorted contemptuously, clearly standing on Ying Ren's side:

Luqiu Borong didn't seem to notice this detail, and he let out a long sigh of relief, "Today's event—no, if there is any record of all the events that happened after entering the ghost state, I must destroy them all, understand. Is it?"

Seeing this situation, Yin Qianzhi and Tan Mengsheng finally understood that if the Empress ordered him to join forces, he would completely cut off the chance of fighting independently and rushing forward to fight for merit, and their expressions immediately fell.However, the emperor had to obey the order, and due to the deterrence of the soldiers of Wei Liang, the two had to kneel down to accept the order and lead the troops to set off.

No matter what, Luqiu Borong never expected that Ying Ren, who had never shown any intention of retreating even when faced with a life-and-death situation along the way, would turn against each other at such a critical juncture.What annoyed and anxious her was that the dwindling troops under her command became weaker and weaker after the Nanhua Tongcheng Kingdom was hit hard.

Although he heard what Ying Ren said, there was always a trace of doubt in Yu Li's heart.It's just that after all the military order has been issued, even if he had no choice but to order the [-] "Orphan Army" to turn their heads and launch a salvo at the coalition of princes attacking fiercely behind them.

But after all, the armies of the two countries were put together temporarily. Even though the military orders and drums were sounded, the accident in front of them still made the soldiers panic, and they didn't know where to retreat. Just like a group of ants whose nest has been dug open.

It wasn't until this time that Luqiu Borong, who was stunned by the scene in front of him, came to his senses, and immediately ordered his soldiers to charge forward to the already difficult battlefield.However, General Yan and Qi Ziyin, who succeeded in the sneak attack, did not love to fight. They just tore a gap in the enemy's formation at a very small cost, and immediately took advantage of the victory, leaving only a corpse and enough blood to float away. There are soldiers of the Three Kingdoms who are still unable to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves.

However, right now, she feels that today's defeat must not be let the world know even a single piece of paper.After thinking about it, Xuan came to the document and asked:
"Today's battle situation, has it been recorded in the book?"

Under the command of General Yan, the Red Flame Army and the soldiers of the State of Ye opened up their battles again, seized the golden opportunity that could not be met at present, and launched a charge against the coalition forces of the princes who were fighting together.The formation it listed was the Queyue formation that Guan Ning's soldiers used to attack him not long ago!

"Uncles, listen to my nephew's persuasion. You are all kings of a country, and you have accompanied His Majesty on the expedition here, so you should work together. Why get angry and hurt your peace over these trivial matters?"

However, Luqiu Borong always looked on coldly in the face of the rhetoric in his own camp.After they got tired of arguing, they came forward to mediate and ordered firmly:
"My dear friends, don't argue. What Yu Guogong said is true. Although our military strength is stronger than that of the thieves, if we fight in the same room, it will only increase consumption. Cheng Guogong and Nanhua Gong obey the order. I order you two to join forces. A place to help the front line, set off immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

"So, very good!"

In desperation, the Duke of Peng, who regretted his regret at the beginning, had no choice but to order the withdrawal of his troops. Before the soldiers of Guan Ning who were holding high the golden banner arrived, he led the surviving "Orphan Army" and the Peng Guo Army to leave the battlefield in a hurry, and followed closely behind. Jiang Yan and others fled northward behind them.When they stopped again and counted the casualties, he and Yu Li just realized that more than half of them were killed and injured, and the remaining people were less than a thousand...

When they realized that the enemy had led an army into a place only a few hundred steps away from them, the three kings who had their own ulterior motives came to their senses in an instant, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers under their command to turn around and set up defenses hastily.However, at that time, the soldiers of the three sides on the battlefield were already jealous of each other, and the military drums and trombones used to pass orders were all standard in the Dasheng Dynasty. In the chaos, they didn't know who to obey orders, so they just waved Weapons, beheading all the living creatures around him that are not wearing their own armor, where can they stop.

Although the horses under his crotch were lost, the Queyue Formation, which was originally an infantry formation, played a considerable advantage.The army formation of more than a thousand people easily escaped from behind the "Orphan Army" of more than [-] people.After circling a semicircle, he attacked with all his strength on the obviously weakest flank among the chaotic armies of Peng, Cheng, and Nanhua!

Ying Ren also finally realized that he had made an irreparable mistake—more than sixty years later, although he had ambitions, he was no longer as brave as before.And his selfish desires made it impossible for him to be undisturbed and calm on the battlefield.

Yin Qianzhi was still too young after all, so he was irritated on the spot:

Although the timid duke dun only brought 500 entourages with him this time, they were all good players who were selected from thousands of people. During the journey, no one fell down.But at this moment, all he thought in his heart was to have a quick truce, so that he could return to Hejian City alive to live a carefree life as a Sanxian.

From the day when he ascended to the imperial court, the deeds of Gai Tianzi are not divided into failures, regardless of merits or demerits, they will be compiled and transcribed by historians in the annals to show future generations.Luqiu Borong originally thought that his trip to Guizhou would return in triumph and bring new hope to the world, so he specially brought the military documents specially recorded by him with him.

Until many years later, when Xun Gong, a great historian of later generations, followed the footsteps of this past event and led his students to go deep into the ice field of Guizhou again, and came to this place that was once stained with countless blood, he was in a pile of blood. Under the ashes that had been frozen into ice, half a piece of paper that had not been completely burned was found, so I was able to glimpse the truth of the year.

The few words left on that piece of paper read like this:

"... In the winter of the first year of Daxin, the long night was endless, and the stars and the moon were hard to distinguish. The emperor fought against the bandits under the ice, and was rebelled. It was the beheading of the Qin family, the Duke of Nanhua, and the Yin family, the Duke of Chengguo, who dived in front of the battle. The princes are all horrified, swallowing their voices and hesitating, no one dares to speak..."
