Noble First Daughter-in-law

At this critical juncture, there was a sudden shock——

"stop!"

The bright and sharp blade was about to fall on Dai Junliang's head, but was stopped by this shock, Ma Xu turned his head fiercely: "Who dares to stop me!?"

As soon as the words fell, he immediately showed a shocked expression, and the knife in his hand froze in mid-air.

In the crowd, I saw a tall figure sitting firmly on horseback, dressed in armor, he was very heroic, especially when the first ray of sunlight fell, illuminating that handsome face, and his cold and stern eyes added a sense of menace.

Seeing him, Ma Xu immediately stayed where he was, and said blankly: "You, you are—"

Mu Xian, who was following Yu Wenye, frowned, and immediately said, "Why don't you hurry up and meet the general of Fuguo?!"

Auxiliary General? !

Upon hearing these five words, Ma Xu's face changed suddenly, and the people around were also startled, and they all retreated to the two sides, kowtowed to the ground, Ma Xu also hurriedly dropped the knife in his hand, and stepped forward to salute : "Bye, hello to the general!"

While speaking, his voice trembled unconsciously.

And Dai Junliang, who was knocked to the ground by him, hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Yu Wenye: "The last general, Dai Junliang, pays homage to the general."

For a moment, the whole Fufeng seemed to be quiet.

Yu Wenye shook the reins lightly, and paced forward.

He glanced at the two of them, and then said, "What are you guys doing?"

Dai Junliang raised his head, and was about to say something, Ma Xu immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "General, this general is here to kill spies and eliminate harm for the court."

"spy?"

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is the spy?"

Ma Xu immediately pointed to Dai Junliang who was beside him and said, "That's him, General Dai Junliang! This man is cowardly and afraid of fighting. When he was about to leave the city to fight, he was the one who obstructed and delayed the opportunity in every possible way; if it wasn't for him staying behind Without those troops, the general will be able to defeat Xue Xian's army!"

"..."

"He must be a spy for helping the enemy like this!"

Dai Junliang became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "General Ma, please don't spitting blood, the reason why the last general obstructed it was because Xue Xian was clearly prepared for that battle, and you rushed out of the city to fight, there is no way you can win! "

"fart!"

Ma Xu jumped up and cursed at him: "You are a spy, I will kill you!"

Seeing their blushing faces, Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Yu Wenye remained calm, only winking to the left and right, Mu Xian and others immediately stepped forward to pull them away, Yu Wenye looked at Ma Xu, then at Dai Junliang, and said: "You just said, Xue Xian Come prepared, what's going on?"

Dai Junliang hurriedly said: "Reporting to the general, Xue Xian's vanguard army arrived at the city at dusk on the 2th, and set up camp five miles west of the city, separated by a small forest river. Afterwards, Xue Xian led [-] troops When they crossed the river, they suddenly went to the city to call for battle. General Ma saw that there were not many people crossing the river, and they had just arrived here, so he concluded that they were exhausted from marching for days and must be vulnerable, so he led the entire city's defenders out of the city to fight."

Hearing this, Yu Wenye frowned slightly.

He said, "And then?"

Dai Junliang said: "The general thought that since it was a continuous march, Xue Xianli should rest and recover his strength, and it would not be too late to call for battle again; but he came to call for battle before he even set up his camp, obviously he was already prepared for the battle, and if he didn't rest, he would call the battle. To show weakness and lure the enemy, there must be deceit.”

"..."

"That's why the last general tried his best to prevent General Ma from going out of the city to fight. But—"

Before he finished speaking, Ma Xu's face showed a look of panic, and he hurriedly said: "General, you must not listen to his one-sided words. If he does not obstruct, let everyone follow me out of the city, you must Can win big!"

Yu Wenye said coldly: "Tell me the result."

These three words, like an invisible hand, strangled Ma Xu's throat at once.

Another pair of Yu Wenye's cold eyes, sharp as a sword, pierced his heart, he faltered and couldn't say a word.

Dai Junliang lowered his head and said solemnly: "General Ma went out of the city, and the 2 horsemen began to retreat within a moment of the battle. General Ma took advantage of the victory to pursue and finally reached the bank of the Xiaolin River. Actually, it was Xue Xian who ambushed two troops to cross the river before, and they flanked left and right, blocking the escape route, and the 8 troops—”

In the end, his eyes were red, and his voice was a little hoarse and choked.

And the surrounding soldiers also lowered their heads.

That night, except for Ma Xu who escaped alive under the cover of the soldiers, no one really saw the situation on the bank of the river with their own eyes. No one survived!
But all night they heard voices in the wind.

There were exclamations and screams.

There was the tearing sound of the sword piercing into the flesh, and there was also the sound of blood gushing out, dyeing the night red...

So much so that until now, when it comes to that night, everyone seems to be immersed in a bloody nightmare. Although there are still soldiers in the city and swords in their hands, they have lost their fighting spirit, and the common people have lost their support. The entire Fufeng is almost about to collapse.

And all of this is because of that Ma Xu!

Thinking of this, that Dai Junliang looked at Ma Xu with red eyes.

Ma Xu was upright at first and didn't give in to him at all, but when he turned his head, he met Yu Wenye's eyes, and saw those cold eyes were so sharp that they pierced his body almost instantly, Ma Xu Feeling guilty for a while, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"General, I, I am not—"

At this time, Shang Ruyi also frowned.

Although victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, it is his crime that this man is so self-willed and has the right to lead the army but has no talent to lead the army. It is an unforgivable crime that caused 8 people to go and never return!

At this moment, she even wanted to rush up and give him a knife!

But after Yu Wenye glanced at him coldly, he stopped looking at him. He just turned over and jumped off the horse, raised his head and looked forward. In front of them were the towering city walls and closed city gates. Fortunately, Xue Xian's troops did not attack here, so the city walls and gates have not been damaged yet, and they look solid.

Yu Wenye said: "Go to the tower first."

Everyone was stunned.

At this time, as a general, shouldn't he deal with Ma Xu who hastily entered the battle and lost his troops?Or, it is right to re-count the remaining troops in the city. Why go up the tower at this time?
Even that Dai Junliang hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "General, it's better not to go to the city yet."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him.

But Yu Wenye didn't look at him, and just said indifferently: "This general is here, I need to figure out the situation here, especially, the final result of that battle. Otherwise, it will not be suitable for future battles."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Go to the tower."

This time, everyone did not dare to disobey, they could only get off their horses one after another, and followed him up the tower.

Shang Ruyi also followed behind him, looking at his back, feeling a little puzzled in his heart—the words "the final result of that battle" that Yu Wenye said just now were a bit strange.Isn't the final result that the entire army of 8 horses was wiped out?Why do you want to see the final result?
Could there be any other results?

Thinking of this in her heart, her steps became tighter, but just before she climbed the tower, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and Shang Ruyi sniffed subconsciously.

What, there's a smell in the wind, a stink?

And, is that really bad, stench?

Just when she was puzzled, everyone followed Yu Wenye to the top of the city tower, and their eyes suddenly became clear. The vision of the towering city wall was wide, and they could see far away at once, and they could see the entire Fufeng County. Row upon row of low houses are closely arranged in the city, and even the city tower on the other side faintly reveals a faint trace in the sunlight.

At this moment, Shan Tonger beside him suddenly screamed——

"Ah! What is that?!"

Shocked, Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned her head away.

Just now because of the location, after she went up to the tower, she only looked at the situation inside the city, but in fact, Yu Wenye brought people up to see the outside of the city, that is, the other side. Shang Ruyi also hurried to his room at this time Beside, look ahead.

Suddenly, her face changed.

Just outside the city gate, there is an open flat land. There are many messy footprints on the flat ground, and some bloodstains, which are obviously left by the battle the day before yesterday, and along those bloodstains, you can almost see At the end of the river, there is a silver chain in the sun, sparkling, it is the Xiaolin River, which is also the moat of the city.

That is, the place where 8 horses were lost in the battle with Xue Xian.

Because it was too far away, I couldn't see the situation on the river bank clearly, but only from Dai Junliang's mouth, I can almost imagine the tragic situation on the river bank that night.

But it wasn't the river that alarmed them.

Instead, on the other side of the river, a high wall unexpectedly appeared!
That high wall was not made of stones, nor bricks and tiles, because it was too far away, and the sky was not completely bright yet, so I only felt it was pitch black, a little red, and a little white Yes, for a while I couldn't figure out what it was that could build such a high wall outside Fufeng City!

A strange tremor suddenly rose in Shang Ruyi's heart.

A gust of wind blew, and the high wall trembled slightly in the wind, and the stench wrapped in the wind swept the whole Fufeng immediately, Shang Ruyi covered her mouth and nose all at once.

That is--

At this moment, more sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone down, illuminating the high wall as well.

They finally see clearly.

Well, it was actually the corpses of soldiers piled up one by one!

Jingguan!

That is Jingguan!
Xue Xian collected the corpses of the [-] soldiers who died in Fufeng and built them into a Jingguan!
