Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1331 The pit is 318 meters deep, the world is in chaos, and the rivers and lakes are surging

In the second year of Jingchang, April [-]th.

The scorching sun set on the horizon, the moon rose, and the beacon fire was lit again.

Xiao Qian and Song Xi fought like a raging fire in Hanshui for the right to control the tunnel in Hanshui.On the other side, Suhe and Hehetai traveled from Dali to the Wumeng tribe of Nanrong, and then entered Sichuan, preparing to meet Menghe.On the other hand, Menghe personally put on his clothes and marched in person, led the Beimeng cavalry from Shaanxi into Sichuan, without any defeat, and almost won more than half of Sichuan.

This move caused an uproar in the world.

More and more of the land in Nanrong was included in the territory of Beimeng.

But the ambitious Meng He did not stop his sharp horse steps, but led his troops to approach the Diaoyu City of Hechuan, preparing to march eastward to attack the lower reaches of the Fujiang River, and eat the entire Southern Song Dynasty into his stomach...

But at this time, Su Yi, the left prime minister of Nanrong who had received the order in Lin'an, did not meet Menghe head-to-head at the beginning, nor did he rush to fight.He is really shrewd, and led the order to take over 15 elite soldiers from Dianqian Division and Gyeonggi. Along the way, he kept taking in the fleeing soldiers and horses from Jingsi South Road, Lichuan Road and other places, and at the same time took over Jiedu envoys from various places. He recruited reinforcements from above, and recruited countless young and middle-aged men from all over the country to join the army.After marching like this, he actually assembled 25 people, and arrived at Diaoyu City three days before Menghe, and began to build defenses.

People who are emperors are often not able to fight by themselves, but can use people.

Song Xi used Su Yi at this time to attack Menghe, but half of them had no choice but to do so.

There are no available generals in the Southern Rong Dynasty, and ordinary people can't resist Menghe's elite cavalry, not to mention, there are also some of the most elite Qixue troops in Beimeng?Although Su Yi has always been a civil servant in the hearts of Nanrong people, but Song Xi ordered him to lead the army, this time he was really betting on the right treasure.

The legendary titles of young prime minister, Nan Rong ghost, and Su Yi are not groundless.

Song Xi knew that Su Yi was capable, so if he didn't use it now, when would he wait?

This edict, in hindsight, was the best decision Song Xi made.

But in the dark, it seems that there is another will of God.

Back then in Hara and Lin, Su Yi was put together by Meng He, and he was stigmatized as having an affair with the princess and causing the princess to commit suicide. It was a joke that cast a filthy darkness on Su Yi's innocent life.

He couldn't swallow this breath.

At this time, he is ordered to fight Menghe, and he has soldiers in his hands, so he will definitely use his full strength.

This point, Song Xi is sure.

And Su Yi lived up to his trust and proved himself to the world.

Although he had never fought a major war, he led Dianqiansi and other Gyeonggi elite soldiers to Diaoyu City with 20 recruits. He immediately made several key defense plans and blocked Menghe in Diaoyu City. outside.

In fact, Diaoyu City is not a city, but a mountain.The so-called Zhongshui, approaching Jincheng, the capital of Shu, is at the confluence of the three rivers. It is a key fortress from Sichuan to the east. If Menghe wants to lead the army to continue eastward, the subsequent aid materials and troops must rely on water transportation.Therefore, Menghe is bound to win the Diaoyu City.

Su Yi counted on him.

So, he occupied Diaoyu City, but he was not in a hurry to fight. Instead, he built a wall and extended the wall to the foot of the mountain and the water. Then he spread his troops as far as possible along the water surface, and planted banners all over the mountain. Like a cloud like a waterfall, the momentum is extremely powerful.Regardless of the fighting power of the soldiers and horses, as far as the momentum is concerned, it has given Nanrong people a face.

The more Meng He was anxious to take down Diaoyu City, the less anxious Su Yi was.

He just clung to it, rooted there like a nail, and couldn't pull it out no matter what.If they don't come together, they will go to make trouble, but if they come together, they will stick to it.During this period, he also wrote some crooked poems and sour words, which floated into the army of Menghe like handing out leaflets, insulting Menghe, and mocking the capabilities of the Beimeng cavalry...

Just like that, he dragged Meng He alive for half a month.

Meng He is very irritable, being so provoked by Su Yi, he was so angry that he flew into a rage.Some officials advised him to give up Diaoyu City, instead of sailing here, go around to fight Nanrong, and get rid of Su Yi's twists first.But until now, regardless of the necessity of winning the Diaoyu City, it is impossible to lose the dignity of Beimeng's national fortune and the face of Menghe Khan.

Meng He was messed up by Su Yi, how could he be willing to go around in a desperate way at this time?

From Hara and Lin Nan, it was the first time he was hit so hard.

At the end of April in the second year of Jingchang, when Su He and Hehetai arrived at Diaoyu City, Meng He once again concentrated his efforts to launch an attack on Diaoyu City.

At this time, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the north and the south.

One is called Hanshui, and the other is called Fushui.

Menghe is in an emergency, but Su Yi is a chronic person. Relying on Nanrong's continuous supplies and reinforcements, he fights more and more smoothly with old friends who come from afar. Being attacked like this, there is still leisure and elegance A good news was sent to Song Xi.

"Diaoyu City is in my hands. Your Majesty doesn't need to increase troops. Meng He is a dish in the bowl of this humble minister!"

The toad's tone was louder than the sky, and Meng He was really ashamed.

However, the content of this good news really fell into Meng He's ears.

Menghe has been fighting for many years, and he is a tiger on the battlefield, and he is extremely conceited.As a result, he became even more furious, completely disregarding the advice of Hehetai and other generals, he insisted on taking down Diaoyu City, he insisted on cutting off Su Yi's head and blood sacrifice.

thus--

Menghe stepped up his attack in Diaoyu City, and Song Xi's pressure on the Hanshui side was relatively small.

The number of soldiers in Nan Rong, relatively speaking, is the largest in the world.

At the beginning when Song Xi went north, plus the people dispatched by various states and counties, there were 80 people.

With so many people, even if they use crowd tactics to block the passage of the river with human heads, their power cannot be underestimated.What's more, this time, a real fight with real swords and guns?

The battle in Diaoyu City gave Nan Rongbing great confidence.

A group of officials who did not agree with Song Xi's decision at first also had the courage to win the battle at this time.

Think Su Yi, a civil servant who has never fought, can stop Meng He's footsteps, let alone they have 80 people?
……

Guan Zongguang, who commanded the battle in the Jinzhou camp, strode into the tent of the Chinese army with passionate blood and a blushing face, "Report to Your Majesty!"

Song Xi wore a suit of armor and sat majestically behind the imperial case.

Slowly raising his eyes to look at him, he raised his eyebrows, "General Guan, may I ask you."

Guan Zongguang wiped the ashes from his face, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Xiao Qian's rebels have blocked the Hanshui tunnel. Even though we have a large number of people, the tunnel is really narrow. , Wanfu is not open, even if a strong attack is assembled, it is really difficult to break through. The last general thought that he could take advantage of the east wind and send troops from the river to attack the Jiangbei camp where the rebels were. !"

Song Xi frowned, frowned, and tied it into a knot.

After a while, he caressed the case with his hand and spoke lightly.

"Water battle, we may lose the enemy! When Xiao Qian's rebels were stationed in Bianjing, they had been training sailors hard..."

When Guan Zongguang heard this, his big eyes stared out, "We have to try it! Your Majesty, the last general thinks that we can't delay any longer. We must take down the Hanshui Corridor as soon as possible, echoing the left minister of Diaoyu City. Furthermore , we don’t want to seize the Jiangbei camp, but we need to take the tunnel so that we can defend to the death and reinforce the left minister!”

There is truth to what he said.

Only then can they free themselves and not be bound by war!

Only in that way, Nan Rongfang has a glimmer of life.

Watching Guan Zongguang clenched his fists eagerly, Song Xi finally nodded.

"Okay, just follow what General Guan said!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guan Zongguang stood up happily.

Song Xi fixed his eyes on him, narrowed his eyes, and stood up from his seat.

"It's not too late, let's pass the order! Gather troops and horses, and attack the Jiangbei camp from the water!"

"The last general takes orders!"

……

The sky is blue and white, the sun is shining brightly.

On the surface of the river, there are ripples floating in circles.

But this side was calm, and was disturbed by the sharp sound of horns before Mao's hour.

The Nanrong army divided into three groups to attack the Xiao cadres in the Jiangbei camp.

One continued to attack the Hanshui Corridor, while the other two forced their way across the river from two ferry terminals.

Among them, the leader of Jinzhou Wharf is Song Xi, the emperor of Jingchang.He personally led the army, and the offensive was the fiercest.But the person opposite Jiangbei was Gu Liyang who was ordered to guard.

This was calculated by Song Xi.

Among the people under Xiao Qian's command, Gu Liyang's thoughts are the oldest, and he also has the most loyal thoughts.

The ancient family has been loyal and good from generation to generation. Gu Liyang's grandfather was once an official to the Taifu, and his father also led an important position in the army before his death. Zong Guang or other Nanrong generals, he might not be merciful, but when the emperor came before him in person, his methods might not be so ruthless.

"kill!"

"Come on!"

"Your Majesty has orders, kill!"

Song Xi's army went up by boat, taking advantage of the wind, cloud and thunder, to press on to the opposite bank.

……

Jiangbei Camp.

These days, Nan Rong soldiers repeatedly besieged the Hanshui Corridor, and blocked their communication with Xinglong Mountain, Xiao Qian had long been on fire.

Xiao Qian carefully read the letter sent by Chi Xi.

The day when Mo Jiu gave birth is approaching.

At that time, he had to be with her no matter what.

Therefore, even if Nan Rong did not come to attack, he would still have to fight his way out.

You must know that Xinglong Mountain is located in Nanrong's jurisdiction. Although Mo Jiu has a little intention of "occupying the mountain and becoming a bandit", Nanrong can't do anything about her for a while, but the Mo family is free to come and go. If they want to go to Xinglong Mountain, they must go through Nanrong. Rongbing's defense, that is to say, must first break Song Xi's siege.

Of course, Xiao Qian had doubts in his heart——Song Xi must have been a little deliberate in this matter.

Before, he surrounded and did not attack, but now that Mo Jiu's delivery date is approaching, he has surrounded all the main roads with all his strength.

This man...has been coveting Mo Jiu all along!
From beginning to end, he never relaxed at all?
Or, like Meng He, he also got the news?

Did Song Xi also think that Mo Jiu had already obtained the thousand-character quotation and the weapon map, and made firearms wantonly on Xinglong Mountain?
If Meng He could know such news, Song Xi would naturally also.

Therefore, after reading Jixi's letter and getting the news about Xinglong Mountain, Xiao Qian was very anxious.

Mo Jiu made military uniforms, hoarded food, and made weapons. In this way, she turned herself into a delicious meat bun, and completely exposed herself to the eyes of hungry wolves.Be it Song Xi, Menghe, or anything else, who wouldn't be jealous of those things?
This stupid woman!
For him, even life is not wanted.

If Song Xi's 80 people didn't come to beat him, but went straight to Xinglong Mountain, what would she do?

Thinking of her big belly, pregnant with her child, and still working so hard for him, Xiao Qian's eyes turned red.

"Go up! Kill!"

A one-word command is sent out like a howl.

His letter couldn't be delivered, and he couldn't wait.

In the camp on the north bank, the soldiers dived down the slope, boarded the warship, and fought with the menacing Nanrong soldiers on the smoky river.On the other side, Xiao Qian's soldiers and horses in the tunnel also rushed out amidst the sound of horns, colliding head-on with Nan Rong's soldiers with unstoppable momentum.

The roar shook the sky!

Corpses are everywhere!

Waiting for the archers lying on the riverside, all arrows are fired.

In less than half an hour, the river water seemed to be dyed a blood red color.

The roar of a person just before death shook one's eardrums to numb——

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the navy and their familiarity with the river, the Nanrong soldiers are indeed not as good as the Xiao cadres who have been stationed here all year round. People also aroused their blood, desperately resisting and rushing forward, and they were even more pressed towards the north bank.

On the pier on the north bank, Gu Liyang wore a battle armor and rode a white horse standing at the head of the river, frowning.

"Who is on board?" He whispered to lieutenant Lu Xiaoshan.

"Back to the general! Yes—" Lu Xiaoshan glanced at his face, knowing that he knew who it was, but he needed a definite answer. He paused, and quickly answered, "Emperor Nanrong Jingchang!"

Gu Liyang frowned more and more.

The flag on the bow was fluttering against the wind of the river.

The whimper of the horn sounded over and over again.

He suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, rode to the side of the orderly, and roared loudly.

"Beat the drums! Tell Jiangshang that King Xiao is occupying the land, and foreign enemies are coming to invade. They must die or die! Tell them to return to Jinzhou!"

"Yes, General!" The orderly replied loudly.

Their shouts could be heard amidst the sound of drums beating loudly.

"King Xiao occupies the land, and foreign enemies invade, either death or death! Are you still going back to Jinzhou?"

Foreign enemies invade, either die or die!Are you still not going back to Golden State?
return?Song Xi stood at the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of war drums coming from a distance, he unsheathed his long sword and went straight to the south bank.

"kill!"

"The end will be ordered!"

Guan Zongguang stood beside him, swung his sword and shouted loudly.

"Soldiers, His Majesty has an order to kill to the north bank! Kill traitors, punish rebels!"

……

……

The smell of blood spread from the river to Jiangbei Camp.

Standing on the hillside where Mo Jiu had stood back then, Xiao Qian frowned as he watched the messy battlefield.

At this moment, Sun Zaonan came galloping on horseback, shouting loudly.

"My lord, Song Xi personally led the troops to fight in the water. General Gu—"

"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qianrui glared and stopped his next words.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Zhannan was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood what he meant.

Even if Gu Liyang was kind and soft-hearted towards Song Xi, it was definitely not a betrayal.

Even a little bit of women's kindness on the battlefield may spoil the event, and Xiao Qian will never convict Gu Liyang casually.

Because for Gu Liyang, facing Song Xi's war is the real test.

Only after he has passed his level, can he really follow them into Nanrong in the future——

Sun Zainan was stunned for a while, "But now, what should we do?"

Xiao Qian's face was cold, he turned his head abruptly, held down the waist knife and immediately got on the horse.

"Follow me to fight! Take back control of Jiangshang and capture Emperor Nanrong alive!"

……

……

Xinglong Mountain.

It was already dawn, but the fog had not cleared.

In this kind of weather, the fog is very heavy in the morning, and there are few people seen ten feet away.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of May.

Mo Jiu, who was half a month away from her due date, became more and more manic.

A woman's life is full of life, which is to break through a gate of hell.

Especially in times like this, when there are no medical facilities that can give her peace of mind.

The only person she can rely on and trust with all her heart is Xiao Qian.But he is not here, for the sake of the child, for him, and for the Mo family, she has to force a smile every day, facing everyone's concerns, and waiting for news from him.

She already knew about the war in Diaoyu City and Hanshui.

There was no letter for more than a month, and she knew that the communication must have been interrupted.

This feeling was very difficult, and she couldn't sit still on the mountain.

"Mei'er! Xinyue!" Supporting her big belly, she stood up and walked out with her waist supported, "Go for a walk with me."

These days, she has developed the habit of going to see Mo Wang after a walk.

Mei'er and Shen Xinyue responded lightly, one quickly took the outer robe, and the other reached out to support her.

"Girl, be careful, the fog outside has not cleared, and the road is slippery."

With a hum, Mo Jiu nodded, "I see."

The two girls were by her side, so they naturally understood her state of mind. These days, everything went her way.And Mo Jiu didn't want to burden them psychologically, even if they were just her girls.So, when she went out, she looked calm, watching the wisps of sunlight falling from the gaps in the leaves, her eyes full of mist, smiling, chatting with them non-stop.

"It's a lovely day. They say May is the best month to have a baby."

"Who said it? Why haven't I heard it?"

"You little child, how can you hear this."

Mei'er pursed her lips, looked at her side face that had gained a lot of weight, and hummed unconvinced, "The girl is only two years older than me, you are about to be a mother, why is Mei'er a child?"

"Oh!" Mo Jiu chuckled, "So, Mei'er is also in a hurry to get married and wants to be a mother."

Mei'er blushed, "No, girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Shen Xinyue chuckled on the sidelines, "Why is there no more? I got up last night and talked to Cao Yuan at the bottom of the wall, who was it?"

Mei'er was stunned for a moment, suddenly overwhelmed with embarrassment, she suddenly raised her hand to beat her.

"Damn girl, stop talking nonsense, how can I—"

"Where are you missing?"

"Where do I have it?"

"You have it everywhere!"

"Bah, see if I don't beat you up."

The two little girls were fighting for verbal advantages, and just as you were joking about raising your fist and kicking me, there was a sudden "whoosh" in the forest, and there was a gust of wind.

Mo Jiu was shocked and stopped suddenly.

"Who!? Come out!"
