Otherworld Qin

Chapter 22 Chapter 24
When Shengxuan got off Que'er Peak, he saw lanterns and torches all over the mountains and plains, and many people kept shouting "Master Shengxuan." He didn't answer, and he had already spotted Luo Shuangxi by the light, and his face was already pale at this moment , kept wiping his forehead with his hands and shouting, and kept telling his subordinates to leave quickly, this was already the last hope in his heart, if he couldn't find Shengxuan here, he really didn't know what to do.

When the first person saw Shengxuan, he ran over in a hurry, "Master Shengxuan, I found you..." Shengxuan walked slowly past that person as if he didn't hear it, and that person was originally from Luojia Village Although the villagers knew Shengxuan on weekdays, they didn't dare to contact him too much because they were afraid of Luo Shuangxi. When they saw him, they would just greet him politely. , so he turned around and grabbed the companion who was still looking for in the bushes, "I saw Master Shengxuan." The man waved his hands impatiently, "Look for it quickly, if you can't find anyone, there will be no good fruit to eat." He continued to look down, It was as if Shengxuan was a needle, wishing to pass this place through a sieve, and suddenly reacted and ran back, "What did you see?" "I saw Master Shengxuan." "Ah! Where is there?" etc. Seeing Shengxuan, he rushed forward and hugged Shengxuan, shouting, "Come on, I found Master Shengxuan."

This sound was like a thunderbolt. When Luo Shuangxi heard it, she broke away from the servant's support, and ran towards the shout like flying. When she saw Sheng Xuan, she rushed forward. This time, she was probably a foot away, but she was actually thrown by him In the past, he hugged Shengxuan and cried loudly, "Where did you go, you scared me to death, ah,,,"

On the contrary, Sheng Xuan was very calm, and stretched out his hands to rub Luo Shuangxi's head, "Stop crying, haven't I come back now? Hurry up and go home, I'm hungry."

Hearing this, Luo Shuangxi jumped up, and then squatted down, "Daddy will carry you home for dinner." It seemed that he wanted Sheng Xuan to straddle his neck, and Cheng Xuan smiled, "I'm so old that I don't need Daddy." Let's go for a walk together." "Hey." Luo Shuangxi stretched out his hand and held his hand tightly, and the two walked down the mountain together.

Cheng Xuan felt that the trembling hand was extremely cold, and it was completely soaked in sweat. Gradually, the trembling of the big hand stopped, and gradually recovered its temperature.Seeing that they had found Shengxuan, everyone walked back slowly.

After walking down the mountain road for more than ten miles, I finally saw the entrance of the village. Shengxuan turned around and said to the villagers, "Thank you for your help. Shengxuan has caused you trouble." The villagers hurriedly returned the gift, talking in a panic You don't need to be polite, Luo Shuangxi suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Everyone has worked hard, come to my house tomorrow, each of you will have a bucket of high-quality rice, and go back."

Since then, Shengxuan got up early every day and went to Que'er Peak to practice. He didn't go down the mountain until evening, and he had to read until late at night.

In the past three months, Yu Wenhong has contacted many forces, and after several wars, he finally regained the land of several states, but the casualties were heavy, but the price was worth it. Now that the situation in Nanming has gradually stabilized, Yongning Wang Zhu Huai also Knowing that it is impossible to destroy Yu Wenhong, but Yu Wenhong has no ability to attack him, so he began to collect money more violently, drinking and having fun in the palace every day, to feel the happiness of the emperor.

This caused dissatisfaction from all over, and the people who followed him at the beginning also became dissatisfied, so he suppressed it with brutal means, levying so many taxes that the common people could not live, and he also selected a large number of beauties from the people to enter the palace to accompany him. He made fun, and finally the people in several states could no longer bear it, and began to take up arms to resist tyranny.

Seeing the troubled King Yongning at home and abroad, Yu Wenhong knew that the time for the decisive battle had finally come, so he gathered all his troops and marched towards the capital.

There was not much resistance along the way, and many people joined in. The army gathered more and more like a snowball, and arrived at the capital Yongchang within half a month.

Zhu Huai had already mobilized all the troops to the capital, and the high water depth of Yongchang City made this battle not easy. Yu Wenhong commanded the troops to besiege for half a month, and failed to win Yongchang after many attacks. Not only will food and grass be tight, but the morale of the army may also be affected. After all, many of them are recruits, and there are many civilians, which are not like regular troops.

That night, Yu Wenhong was sitting in the big tent sadly, when suddenly the guards reported that several generals wanted to see him, so he hurriedly let everyone into the tent, Yue Zifeng and others entered the tent to greet the emperor, and then began to say, "Your Majesty, we are besieging the city." It's been half a month, but still can't attack for a long time, I waited for a few people to come up with a good strategy, please Your Majesty to decide." "Oh, what a good strategy, let's talk about it." Several people exchanged colors, and finally pushed Yue Zifeng for him to say, "Your Majesty, the city of Yongchang is high and the water is deep, and our army does not have enough siege equipment, so it caused great casualties,,,,,," "I know all of this, please tell me your method." "Our army might as well open the net, False attack from two sides, only concentrated on one side, Zhu Huai will be flustered under heavy pressure, we will secretly contact the soldiers and civilians in the city, this can at least shake his army's morale, then Zhu Huai will definitely choose to abandon the city and flee, when the time comes we will go back Afterwards, we can definitely take down the capital and wipe out the chaotic party.”

Yu Wenhong nodded slightly, "This plan may take back the capital, but Zhu Huai has a lot of cavalry, and it may be difficult for us to catch up once he escapes." "We can set up ambushes to disturb along the way, and dig deep trenches in critical places, so that Drive Zhu Huai into the mountains, just,,,, ""Just what?" "It's just that the most suitable place is only around the ancestral temple." Yu Wenhong pondered for a moment, "It's okay, as long as the country's thieves can be eliminated, the ancestral temple can be rebuilt if it is damaged , if the opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to meet again, so go prepare.”

The ancestral temple is a hundred miles east of the city, and Yue Zifeng chose to leave the south gate, because the road outside the south gate is narrow and rugged, making it easy to set up an ambush.

While setting up an ambush, they kept harassing Yongchang. The drums were beating loudly, but the attacking team retreated as soon as they entered the range of bows and arrows. A letter was shot in the city, telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that as long as they were willing to abandon the dark and turn to the emperor, they would not be held accountable. However, when they arrived at the military camp below the city for dinner, they could only see smoke from the kitchen.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhu Huai looked down, he couldn't help being surprised, the barracks were more than double the size of the last time he visited, and now it was dinner time, and he saw a large cloud of cooking smoke covering the sky, so he hurriedly shouted The lieutenant beside him asked, "When did the number of people in this city start to increase?" The lieutenant hurriedly said, "It has been a few days, and there will be the sound of people and horses walking around in the enemy camp every night, and the next day when I saw the camp, the number increased." Zhu Huai Yi couldn't help being furious when he heard that, he drew out his sword and chopped the captain to death, then angrily dropped the long sword in his hand, "Such important military information is concealed and not reported, what use is it to leave you."

After returning to the palace, he couldn't sit still any longer, so he hurriedly summoned his confidant general and asked him to prepare all [-] cavalry to break through.

After sending his subordinates to prepare, Zhu Huai began to pack ten carts full of treasures, put them at the back door of the palace, and sent personal guards to guard them. If we attack the city aggressively, the North Gate may not be able to withstand it."

"Ah, how many soldiers and horses are there under the city?" "I can't see clearly, but there are probably tens of thousands of people with torches in the sky." Zhu Huai immediately gasped, put on his clothes and led his men to the top of the city.

Looking at it now, Yu Wenhong's soldiers and horses have already filled up the moat at the north gate with sandbags, and are attacking the city with ladders and columbine carts. Seeing that the city was about to be breached, "What the hell is the use of raising you trash? Why don't you send troops to reinforce?" A general hurried over, "Go back to the lord, the other three gates have found the enemy, it's just It’s not as strong as this side’s attack, so we can’t deploy reinforcements.” Zhu Huai went up and kicked the general to the ground, “Then send my troops here too, this side is about to fall, don’t you see? If the city is broken, everyone will die!" The general hurriedly got up, and was just about to send an order to dispatch troops, when suddenly a soldier ran over in a panic, "Report, Prince Ximen has found a large number of enemy troops, and the moat has been filled up, and now he is rushing The car crashed into the gate of the city, please hurry up and send troops to reinforce." Before Zhu Huai could speak, another soldier reported that the east gate was also attacked, Zhu Huai couldn't hold on any longer, if it wasn't for the support of the guards around him, he might have to sit down. on the ground.

It took him a long time to recover, "What to do? What to do? You bastards, you should make up your mind quickly, what should we do?" He had already jumped up roaring, and a general hurriedly said, "My lord, I Seeing that we can't defend this city, why don't we break through." "Breakout? Okay, but where should we break out?" "I'm afraid only the south gate can break through now, and there are only some enemy troops just holding up their torches and shouting. There is no siege, I think they deliberately set up suspicious soldiers to confuse us, but..." Zhu Huai's heart was about to jump out nervously, "But what?" Break through." Zhu Huai went up immediately when he heard that, and slapped the general far away with his mouth, "As long as I can rush out, it's fine, you don't care what those are doing, if they run away, wouldn't they chase after us and kill us? You How can I let this king run away, you all go and defend the city for me, and you must hold them back." You know that Zhu Huai was also a military general back then, how powerful was this slap?The general who only slapped his face was swollen and lost two molars, but the saddest thing was not the slap, but the words he said just now. Running for his own life has already disregarded the lives of these subordinates.

After Zhu Huai finished speaking, he also felt that he had slipped away, and his face was stunned. "Don't worry, I will take you away. Don't spread this news. Hurry up and prepare."

Seeing everyone leaving one after another, he hurried back to the palace with his entourage, took his treasures and ordered [-] cavalrymen to rush all the way to the south gate.

The [-] cavalry were dispatched, and the whole city was alarmed at once. Immediately, someone along the road shouted, "King Yongding is about to escape, hurry up." As soon as Zhu Huai saw it, he quickly ordered his subordinates to kill anyone who approached, and sent someone to shout, "Prince Yongding will lead the cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy. Everyone, get out of the way quickly." After such a chaotic journey, he finally arrived at the south gate, and Zhu Huai hurriedly He ordered the city gate to be opened and the suspension bridge to be lowered. The gate army saw that the weapons in these people's hands were still dripping with blood, so they dared not neglect them, and hurriedly opened the city to let him out.

As soon as he left the city gate, thousands of people rushed up. Zhu Huai couldn't help feeling happy when he saw it. He saw that these people were full of hoes and iron rakes, and their clothes were all kinds of clothes. They were clearly a group of ordinary people, only a few soldiers. Commanding the pawns, he immediately ordered the cavalry to charge at full speed, and as soon as they touched these people, they were defeated and fled in all directions.

After rushing for more than ten miles, the team had already been pulled into a line. Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the nearby woods, and the feathers and arrows were like flying locusts. The sound of chasing and killing behind them continued. He rushed down the side path, but he saw a deep ditch blocking the road, and the horse couldn't cross it at all, so he had to turn around and fight back. After several times of charging and killing the ambushes, they finally retreated, and Zhu Huai hurriedly led his men to continue on their way.

Not two miles away, another ambush came out suddenly, taking advantage of the terrain to put down rolling trees and rocks, causing many casualties to his men, and the sound of chasing and killing behind him was gradually approaching, Zhu Huai hurriedly ordered some people to block the ambush, and led a group of people himself. Turning east to lose.

Just like this, he walked and killed all the way, and when it was dawn, he suddenly found that he had run to the mountain where the ancestral temple was located. He saw the towering mountains on both sides, and he was caught in the middle. The cavalry could not climb such a mountain at all. Zhu Huai sat on the horse I couldn't help being taken aback, an ominous premonition slowly emerged from the bottom of my heart, my face gradually turned pale, and the sweat gradually drenched my back along the back of my neck, it seemed that I had already run into someone's pocket, I'm afraid Today he will repay all grievances in front of the tomb of the emperors who gave him everything.

Suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing behind him, Zhu Huai listened to the clarion call of killing like a chasing soul, he couldn't help turning around with the team, the insects were about to die, let alone nearly 2 of them Cavalry, he is going to fight to the death here.

The cavalry was exhausted after a night of fleeing, but Yu Wenhong's pursuit was not much better. At least Zhu Huai was still a cavalry. Most of them relied on their legs, but the morale of the two armies could be seen at a glance. The difference is that one side is chasing after the victory, while the other is fleeing in a hurry. Although there is a gap in strength, the gap is now negligible.

Only one person in the formation shouted, "The traitor Zhu Huai, now that you have nowhere to escape, why don't you dismount and give your head?" His team was in a panic, and some soldiers really wanted to rush to the opposite side to surrender. Zhu Huai hurriedly sent someone to hack those cowards to death, and shouted, "Everyone, don't fall for the trap, that despicable boy Yu Wenhong will definitely not bypass us Don’t fall into their tricks.” The team stabilized a little bit, and Zhu Huai hurriedly pulled the ten carts to the front, opened the big wooden boxes on them, and suddenly a golden light shone, “Listen everyone, as long as you can escape today This difficulty, all these treasures will be distributed to you, and you will never spend this money in your lifetime." Hearing these words, the cavalrymen couldn't help being angry and funny, and Zhu Huai was not willing to let go of these things after being ambushed several times along the way. Treasures, if you take them out now, you may be dying to spend them.

After several rounds of agitation, the cavalry finally made up their minds. Since they had already been dubbed as rebels, it might not be of any benefit to surrender. It would be better to fight to the death here and maybe have a chance to escape.

Finally the cavalry began to charge, and because most of Yu Wenhong's side was infantry, he had to erect his shield and spear to meet the first round of attack.

When the cavalry rushed to the place of arrows, they only heard an order from the formation, and the feathered arrows rained down, causing heavy casualties in the first round, but some cavalry still rushed into the spear formation, and immediately launched an attack. In a scuffle, Zhu Huai hurriedly dispatched a second round of charges, and sent two teams to attack the archers of the rear team from both wings. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing from the hills on both sides, and countless boulders rolled towards his formation, and Zhu Huai's troops suddenly became chaotic. In a group, they had no choice but to continue to retreat in the direction of the ancestral temple.

When he was defeated to the ancestral temple with thousands of remnants, he saw the leader sitting in front of him. It was the emperor Yu Wenhong. When he saw Zhu Huai, he couldn't help but stood up and shouted, "The traitor Zhu Huai hasn't got off his horse yet. All the ancestors will remember your past achievements and leave you a dead body." Zhu Huai was furious when he heard that, "Bah, boy Huangkou, I want your life today," and then ordered his subordinates to "rush up and kill me!" This little bastard."

Yu Wenhong didn't panic, and gave an order, only to see a huge boulder rolling down the mountain, with countless feather arrows mixed in it. For the most part, there were less than 2000 people left around, Zhu Huai hurriedly ordered everyone to dismount and climb up the nearest hillside to resist.

Seeing that Zhu Huai refused to give up, Yu Wenhong could only send troops to attack. In less than an hour, the final battle was finally over. Zhu Huai's fat body fell on a treasure chest, holding a bloody long sword in his hand. Everyone When he saw it, he couldn't help sighing, "I don't want to leave my treasures when I die. I'm really a money addict."
