Noble First Daughter-in-law

Yu Wenye's pupils suddenly tightened.

Seeing Xue Xiance's horse galloping, getting closer and closer, his breath sank, he gritted his teeth and patted his horse and charged forward, just when the Yanyue knife that was waving vigorously was slashing at him, Yu Wenye raised his hands Swinging the knife, he blocked it again.

Just listen to the sound of "Kang".

Just like before, Xue Xian's knife was once again blocked by the hard handle in his hand, but this time, Xue Xian's arms were not bounced away, but instead he held the knife with both hands and pressed down forcefully.

Immediately, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top, Yu Wenye's whole body sank.

Standing on the top of the city tower and seeing this scene, Shang Ruyi's eyes suddenly flashed silent panic - after watching the horse battle just now, she already understood in her heart that anyone who wields weapons on horseback and fights The strength comes from the lower body, and the most important thing is the two legs stepping on the stirrups, which are the source of strength of the generals on horseback.

If it is loose there, the general will be almost powerless on horseback.

And Yu Wenye——she clearly remembered that he had always suffered from leg cramps, and it was because of this when he was at Yanmenguan that Ashina Shali escaped. He drinks some milk, but she hasn't done it since the two "fell".

Looking at it now, Yu Wenye's legs seemed to start to twitch unconsciously again.

And, not just the legs.

For people on horseback, the strength of the waist is also very important, just like the two flashback attacks he made just now relied on the strength of the waist; this person's waist is indeed flexible and strong, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But at that moment just now, Shang Ruyi felt in a trance that his waist seemed to soften a bit, which made his whole body sink.

Is it—

Shang Ruyi was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe. The hand that was worn out and bleeding from the fingertips was tightly holding on to the wall, and she looked down with burning eyes.

Is Yu Wenye's physical strength really exhausted?
Just when her heart was almost in her throat, a low sigh suddenly sounded from her side.

"Brother Yuwen, are you a little tired?"

Shang Ruyi looked down, but saw that Shan Tong'er had come to his side at some point, and he was also leaning on the wall, looking at the battlefield below in a daze.

Because of vomiting during the day, Cheng Qiao and the others immediately took him down to rest, and they didn't call him for the expedition just now. Unexpectedly, the child woke up at some point, climbed up the city wall by himself, and watched the battle situation below with concern.

And his words made Shang Ruyi feel more uneasy.

She said, "You, can you see that?"

Shan Tong'er looked up at her, his pale little face, which was weak from vomiting, was full of worry, and said: "His strength seems to be much less than when he just set off."

"..."

"I only know now that Brother Yuwen didn't use all his strength when he went to Wanggangzhai to fight with me."

"..."

"Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to survive three moves under his hands."

"..."

"But now—"

Shang Ruyi's heart sank, and she suddenly said, "Stop talking!"

Shan Tong'er was startled, looked at her somewhat dull face, then looked around, and immediately understood.

Although he didn't understand the crime of disturbing the morale of the army, discussing the health of the chief general in the battle at this time would inevitably make the people around worry.

Shan Tonger hastily shut his mouth.

But after thinking about it, he looked up at Shang Ruyi again, and said softly, "Sister Ruyi, I want to help him."

At this moment, Shang Ruyi supported the wall with both hands, and stared at the battle situation below with her dark eyes——Yu Wenye finally swung the Crescent Knife on top of his head after a period of stalemate, and slashed at him with his backhand. Xue Xian's lower abdomen is the most difficult position to attack, but it is also not easy to defend, but Xue Xian did not rush, and raised the hilt of the knife, and deflected his knife.

Immediately afterwards, the two clashed blades several times, and the ear-piercing sound filled the entire Fufeng.

Shang Ruyi said in a deep voice, "No."

"...!?"

Shan Tong'er looked at her with wide eyes in astonishment: "Why?"

Although Yu Wenye hadn't obviously lost the wind, he still fought so vigorously that the soldiers watching the battle below couldn't see him at all. They scolded each other, but the people standing on the tower could see clearly.

After Yu Wenye exerted such strength just now, his body had already started to sink into weakness.

If the fight continues, he will really—

But Shang Ruyi still had a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice, "He has to fight this battle by himself!"

In the past, even before the start of this battle, Shang Ruyi might not have had such a belief, and it was even more impossible for her to ignore Yu Wenye in such a difficult battle, but now, she has fully understood that Yu Wenye is going to Through himself, through this battle of his own, he aroused the fighting will of Fufeng soldiers, so not only can he not lose, but he can't have any bias in the battle.

Otherwise, the fighting spirit of these people who have just been aroused by him will only collapse faster because of his "incompetence".

At that time, Fufeng will really collapse.

Since Yu Wenye wants to take on this responsibility, he must bear it to the end. The person on the battlefield at this moment is not only her husband, Shang Ruyi, but also the general of the imperial court, the support of Fufeng's army and people, and even more——Yu Wenye Own!

Hearing Shang Ruyi's categorical answer, although Shan Tong'er didn't quite understand, she could tell from the dignified and serious expression on the face of this always kind and gentle sister Ruyi that it was impossible for her to send people to the battlefield to help Yu Wenye.

However, he was still worried.

Shan Tong'er muttered softly: "Could it be that we just don't do anything?"

"...!"

As soon as these words came out, a bright light flashed in Shang Ruyi's eyes.

She suddenly turned around and said, "Where's the drum?!"

Originally, everyone on the tower was looking at the battle situation below attentively. When they heard her question, everyone couldn't recover. Yin Changyue, the superintendent, immediately reacted, pointed at the side of the Qiaolou gate and said with a big drum: "Here .”

Shang Ruyi walked over immediately.

The drumhead of this big drum is almost as long as an adult, and it is set on a tall wooden frame, which is about the same height as Shang Ruyi. There are two drumsticks on the side of the wooden frame, which are as thick as a person's arm. , Shang Ruyi picked it up and pressed it heavily on his wrist.

Seeing her posture, the people around were stunned. They didn't know what this delicate-looking young lady of the Duke's Mansion was going to do. For a moment, everyone couldn't care less about the battle situation below, and all looked at her.

Yin Changyue was also taken aback for a moment: "Young Madam, what are you—"

Shang Ruyi ignored them, but turned his head and looked at the battle situation below. The two men on horseback were still fighting fiercely. Xue Xian seemed to have noticed something. Seeing Yu Wenye attacking repeatedly, although Yu Wenye did not show any weakness, and attacked several times in succession, his elbows began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seizing the opportunity, Xue Xian roared wildly, raised the Yanyue knife in his hand high, and slashed down towards Yu Wenye!

This blow is enough to split rocks and open mountains!
Yu Wenye gritted his teeth, and even swung the saber with one hand, the sharp Mo Dao drew a dazzling fan of light on the top of his head, and he was about to parry Xue Xian's blow like this!
There was already a gloomy sneer on Xue Xian's face.

At this moment, a thunderous drum sound came from above the heads of the two of them!

In an instant, Yu Wenye only felt his heart tremble, a nameless force emerged from his limbs and five bodies, intertwined in one place in an instant, rushing towards his arms in unison, he shouted angrily, Mo Dao blocked it abruptly The Yanyue Dao turned his wrist, and directly pressed down on the top of Xue Xian's head with his backhand.

"...!"

Xue Xian was shocked, he obviously didn't expect that he still had the strength to fight back at this time, and even swung his knife with one hand and pressed his own knife back, but he was not weak, so he hurriedly pushed the knife away, and then took advantage of the momentum to move towards Yuwen. Ye's ribs attacked.

At the same time, there was another roar of drums!
When the first drum sounded, the soldiers of the Fufeng Army hadn't recovered. Some even thought it was their own heavy heartbeat, but when another drum sounded, they finally realized something.

They all raised their heads and looked at the tower.

But in front of the heavy drum, a slender figure waved a huge drumstick and beat the drum desperately. The deafening drum sound was beaten out by her hands one after another, like coming from the dome dyed red by the setting sun. Thunder!
This is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, and also their general's wife!

Originally, everyone felt uneasy because of the appearance of women and children in the army. After all, these weak people not only needed their protection, but they would also be their burden at the most critical moment. Therefore, people were not only discouraged by Fufeng's defeat, but also Dissatisfied with the presence of this woman.

But at this moment, all dissatisfaction and discouragement were shattered by the sound of the drum!
This young lady was heroic, stirred up the situation with the sound of drums, and shocked the people on the other side of the battlefield to panic, which made them very happy, and some people even started to shout: "Young lady!"

At the same time, someone shouted: "General!"

For a moment, the voices calling for the two intertwined and merged on the battlefield, converging together, making the sound of the drum resound to the heavens.

In the passionate atmosphere of the crowd, Yu Wenye could only feel an indescribable force coming from his heart, from the sound of the drums, from the trembling ground, and from all directions, filling him up in an instant, He calmly responded to the challenge, calmly turned sideways to avoid the knife attacking Xue Xian, and at the same time clamped his legs, the sitting horse immediately galloped two steps forward, and missed Xue Xian.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to completely avoid the opponent's continuous attack, they saw that he had just walked a few feet behind Xue Xian, and he repeated his old trick, hitting the Mingmen point on Xue Xian's back with his backhand again.

Xue Xian was a little annoyed.

He held the handle of the long knife backwards, and slammed down the Mo knife in Yu Wenye's hand, and the sharp blade pierced through the air again, leaving only another scar on the saddle on his back.

At the same time, Xue Xian rode his horse to follow, and slashed at Yu Wenye's shoulder.

Shang Ruyi looked at the person in the fierce battle below, although the two were far apart, she seemed to be able to feel the faith in his heart at this moment, and wanted to transmit her own strength to him through the invisible drumbeat.

So, she gritted her teeth, waved the heavy drumsticks and kept beating the drum.

Drums rumble.

Yu Wenye couldn't see the scene on the tower at all, and he didn't even turn his head, but the sound of the drum seemed to arouse a surge of emotion in his heart. Free and easy, in an instant, he had offered dozens of moves to Xue on galloping horseback.

This time, the two of them neither stopped their horses nor confronted each other. Instead, they kept waving their long knives and slashed towards each other. One red and one black, like intertwined and tumbling flames and thick smoke, galloped along the wide open space outside the city gate.

The drumbeat, which was as dense as the rain, also merged with the sound of horseshoes at this moment, which aroused the heartbeat of the people in the battle.

People who are on the horse don't stop at all.

The two sat firmly on the back of the horse, the distance between them was less than half a foot, but the two long knives were brandishing like two bright round halos, stirring the fishy wind constantly in their hands. After a while, the two horses had circled around This piece of open space ran away, and ran to the Xiaolin River.

At this moment, the setting sun is like flames, and the war is in full swing.

The originally calm river suddenly reflected the silhouettes of two steeds and two men on their backs who were fighting wildly. For a moment, people and shadows, water and fire, reality and illusion, complement each other, forming a beautiful scene. amazing picture.

There is even more thunderous drumming, outlining this scene with a vigor that shakes the mountains and rivers!

Seeing that the two of them had already fought so far, it was difficult for the sound of the drum to pass through. Moreover, the heavy drumstick was no easier to swing than the person who wielded a sword in the battle. Started to be sore and numb.

Yin Changyue and others on the side also said softly: "Young Madam, let us—"

"Need not!"

Before they could finish speaking, Shang Ruyi interrupted them in a deep voice.

At this time, she didn't have any more energy to talk nonsense with others, she needed to use every ounce of her energy to hit the big drum, and through the sound of the drum, pass it on to Yu Wenye!

"Get out of the way!"

With a loud shout, the people around didn't dare to say more, they all backed away one after another.

Shang Ruyi bit the tip of her tongue, almost tasted the salty smell of her own blood, her flaccid arms kept waving like rolling wheels, the drum head was constantly vibrating from her beating, and even the wooden frame below began to move , was almost overturned by her.

Shan Tong'er had quick eyesight and quick hands, stepped forward hurriedly, and hugged the wooden frame below.

The sound of the rumbling drum made his thick and hard arm start to go numb, but he clenched his teeth and held on tightly. The sound of the drum was so loud that it shook the clouds and the ground like thunder, and reached the people on the river bank who were still fighting fiercely. heart!

At this moment, the two people drove their horses along the river and stepped on the water, and the splash was half the height of a person. In addition, the setting sun had already slanted to the horizon, and the blood-red sunset gave off the last heat and light, which will be The splash of water reflected like a rising flame.

The two of them fought fiercely amidst the dazzling light and rushing waves!
This scene made everyone's blood boil!

Amidst the loud shouts of everyone, the two men fought fiercely along the Xiaolin River for nearly a hundred rounds, and the two horses ran back along the long road towards the city gate. After a while, they returned to the city of Fufeng the door.

When Shang Ruyi exhausted her last bit of strength and hit the drum with a heavy hammer, making a dull sound like a landslide, Yu Wenye yelled and swung the knife fiercely. The sharp blade and the sharp blade, Xue Xian was so shocked that he leaned back, and the horse he was sitting on seemed to be shocked at this moment.

The horse also took a few steps back.

Then, Xue Xian's figure swayed suddenly, almost falling down.

This turn of events surprised the people on both sides. Everyone thought that he had been injured in some way. If he had fallen down, the Longxi Army was about to rush up regardless of the general. But when they looked again, Xue Xian also showed shock on his face. With an expression on his face, he hastily grasped the rein in his hand to stabilize his figure.

But he was still shaking.

He wasn't hurt, what was hurt was—

"Chi Ji!?"

Xue Xian let out a low cry, it was none other than the red horse under him.

It wasn't until this time that everyone was surprised to find that this red horse was just walking on the river bank, and now it was dripping with water, but the water droplets were bright red!
That is, blood!

Drop by drop, it fell under their bodies, already staining a small piece of ground red!

Seeing this scene, Xue Xian was also taken aback. He hurriedly looked back and forth, only to find that the blood was flowing down from under the saddle on the horse's back, and the wound was right under the saddle on his back.

That is - the place where Yu Wenye hit his Mingmen acupoint several times before, but was blocked by his knife, leaving scratches on the saddle.

His knife not only cut through Xue Xian's saddle, but also wounded his horse again and again where Xue Xian could not see!
It was also because it was a red horse, and it couldn't be seen when it was bleeding. When the clues were seen, the horse couldn't hold it anymore!

"you--"

Xue Xian suddenly understood, and looked up at Yu Wenye.

It turned out that this was his plan.

And Yu Wenye's face was as stern as before, but he, who was drenched all over and dripping water continuously, exuded a strong, almost murderous aura!
That murderous aura has already broken people's hearts and minds, and the steed under Xue Xian's seat has reached its limit and is on the verge of collapsing!
"Chi Ji!"

Xue Xian's eyes were shattered, and when he exclaimed again, the horse finally let out a shrill neigh and fell to the ground!

At this moment, Yu Wenye's face darkened, and his arm that was already numb from the battle suddenly lifted up, and the Mo Dao in his hand pointed at the panicked person in front, reflecting the last ray of blood-red light under the setting sun, and let out a bloodthirsty cry. sound.

"Give—I—kill!"

Tonight, because of something, I merged the two chapters into one chapter and posted it
