Chapter 7 fourth quarter

The good day is finally coming, and the camp is full of joy and laughter, and lights and festoons are everywhere.The angel was dressed in court clothes, sitting in the hall, as if he was the officiant.Di Qing and Ding Ning also took off their military uniforms and put on scarlet auspicious uniforms. The red candles were burning high, making the battlefield, which has always been a place of soldiers and horses, a bit more fragrant and gentle. "Why hasn't the bride come out yet?" the angel asked impatiently. "Still doing makeup!" "Go and remind!" the angel ordered.

"I just went to urge it. But a group of booing people blocked the door, saying that according to the rules, the bride has to write a 'make-up poem' before she is willing to let her go!" one of the civil servants reported. "Then what's the difficulty? Weiyang Monarch is so talented, why can't he compose a little poem?" The angel didn't think so.The civil servant scratched his head, and hesitated: "But...but after writing for a long time, the poem notes have not yet come out of the room!" Although Di Qing didn't look this way, he heard all the conversations.His face suddenly changed, and he was inexplicably frightened.He looked up at Ding Ning, and Ding Ning was also looking at him.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall only felt the red shadow move, and the two generals were no longer in the hall! There are still many people around outside the bridal chamber, laughing and joking to please and ask for poems, but the door is closed tightly.Ding Ning and Di Qing glanced at each other, rushed over, and at the same time broke the door bolt with their palms, and both rushed inside. There was no one in the room.The bead flowers on the dressing table were still there, and the heads of several bridesmaids were gone, and a bloody smell permeated the entire bridal chamber.On the dressing table was a piece of poem paper: "You don't need to make noise, the good fate of the whole life is here for the night. The Weaver Girl of the Milky Way stopped and waited for the Milky Way to build a magpie bridge." It's over, but before it's time to send it out, something unexpected has happened in the new house.

The spectators poured in, and they were all stunned when they saw such a miserable scene in the room. "Her martial arts are not weak, but obviously there is no room for retaliation. It can be seen that the person who strikes must be an acquaintance." Ding Ning said every word, with a look of worry on his brows.At this time, Di Qing heard that his mother was still there, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It may be her..." "Who?" Ding Ning asked.Before Di Qing could answer, he heard a commotion outside the room, and rushed in alone.He staggered, his face was covered with blood, and he was breathing heavily, obviously seriously injured. "Commander Hong!" Someone beside him exclaimed and supported him.

General Hong gasped for breath, and said intermittently: "Fang...Fang Tianyu, that kid, collaborating with the enemy...rebelling..." He turned his head, pointed to the northwest direction, panting heavily: "Khitan colluded with Gaochang...to rebel...general, quick, quick..." He couldn't catch his breath, and he died immediately. Ding Ning and Di Qing didn't hesitate, and shouted: "Beat the drums as a warning, and go out to the camp to prepare for the battle!" They rushed out of the room, tore off their new clothes, put them on quickly, and went out of the camp to watch.At the moment of national crisis, all personal matters have become irrelevant.

Ding Ning turned his head and said to Di Qing: "You lead 10,000 troops to occupy the position first, and I will come as soon as I gather the troops. Remember, this battle can only advance and not retreat!" Di Qing slowly pulled off the bronze mask— — This is his habit when he goes into battle.Because his appearance is too handsome, he lacks mighty spirit, so when he is going to kill the enemy, he must put on this hideous and terrifying bronze mask.He slowly raised the Pijiang sword in his hand, and nodded to Ding Ning. Then he got on his horse and gave the order: "Two thousand people are the forwards, form a 'tiger-elephant array', and advance slowly; two thousand people are the rear team, form a 'long snake array' to hold back the enemy! Let's go!"

After Ding Ning finished his confession, he rushed to the general's platform and beat drums to gather troops himself.The drum beat was slow and determined, and there was a sound coming out.The officers and soldiers, who were cheering and drinking, were in a mess, but all of a sudden their swords fell silent.In a short time, all the ministries have gathered in the audience. Ding Ning turned around and said: "The Khitan army is coming tonight, prepare your horses for battle!" The commanding general immediately turned around and issued an order, but he heard that the order "Let's go" turned into ten sentences, ten sentences became a hundred sentences, and a hundred sentences became a thousand sentences. messy.

After the army was finished, Ding Ning rode his horse and was about to set off, when he suddenly heard the sound of drums and fire behind the camp! Everyone looked back together, only to see that the forage field behind the camp was already on fire.Soldiers can't do without food and grass, and the forage field is always an important place for the army. Once it is lost here, the morale of the army will immediately float.Ding Ning was secretly startled, only to hear the spies report: "Vice Commander Fang has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, he has set fire to the forage yard, and he raised his troops to fight back."

The army was even more shocked.Fang Tianyu is also a heavy general, with 50,000 soldiers in hand, guarding the rear.At this time, once the army rebelled, it would be extremely dangerous to attack Khitan back and forth.Ding Ning remained calm, and slowly ordered: "Change the rear team to the front team, and attack south!" The order was everywhere, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four groups: the front army, the left army, the right army, and the rear army, and there were also small groups of rangers scattered on the two wings.Armored and armored, advance southward.Seeing the enemy's momentum like a mountain, all the soldiers knew in their hearts that they feared life and death tonight, but they had always been loyal to the Song family, so they could only fight to the death.

After traveling for about ten miles, a large number of people and horses have been seen.The first general is Fang Tianyu. Ding Ning reined in his horse and shouted sharply: "You traitor, the imperial court treats you well, why do you turn your back on you?" Fang Tianyu laughed loudly: "Ding Ning, I have galloped on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and I have sacrificed my life for the Great Song Dynasty, but I am only a deputy commander; Fair! Khitan promised me the position of Generalissimo, how is it compared to Song Dynasty?" Ding Ning stopped answering and waved his right hand.The commanding officer held a yellow flag in his hand, and with an order, the soldiers on the left and right flanks moved forward slowly.The enemy and ourselves face each other in two battles.

There was a loud drumbeat in the enemy's formation, they suddenly parted to the left and right, and hundreds of prisoners were pushed out.Most of these people were in civilian attire, men, women, old and young, and they were all pushed to the ground.Fang Tianyu sneered: "Press the family members of the enemy army into battle!" As soon as these words came out, the Song army on Ding Ning's side was thrown into chaos.We must know that most of the troops stationed at Yumenguan are people who are permanently stationed outside the Great Wall. Except for some prisoners who are military prisoners, most of them have already settled down in the local area.Now seeing the enemy push out so many civilians, dragging their children and their daughters into a mess, are the soldiers feeling at ease? Fang Tianyu rode out on horseback and shouted: "Song officers and soldiers, listen up: your family is small and has been taken in. Those who surrender will be reunited with their families and will be promoted to a third rank. If you don't surrender, you will be shot!" Some officers and soldiers in the Song army had already recognized their relatives, and each of them hesitated, not knowing what to do. Ding Ning's eyes flickered, and he knew that the situation was critical. If someone moved first, the army would be defeated like a mountain.Fang Tianyu's move was aimed at disintegrating the morale of his own army, and he must do what he said when he said that he would kill the prisoners. At this time, there was another commotion on the high platform, and a group of people were led out.Most of these people are women, and their clothes are luxurious, which shows that they are not ordinary civilians.These are the wives and children of the generals of the Song Dynasty.Dozens of sergeants drew out their long knives and put them on everyone's necks. Fang Tianyu sneered: "If you don't surrender again, you will be bloody!" As a result, the morale of the army became even more fluctuating, many soldiers were already whispering, and most of the generals looked at the commander.Ding Ning's eyes are serious.He knew that at this juncture, he absolutely had to stay calm! Fang Tianyu raised his hand, and a woman in red was escorted up. She was dressed in a bright red wedding dress. "Princess Weiyang!" Many people in the Song army exclaimed.Even the general's wife has fallen into the enemy's hands! "Ding Ning, are you going to surrender or not?" Fang Tianyu ordered the sergeant to put the knife on Princess Weiyang's neck, and asked. Princess Weiyang's hair is disheveled and her clothes are disheveled, but her eyes are as firm as stars, and she said loudly: "General, don't think about your family. A good man should serve his country with his death." As soon as she said this, some Song soldiers who were floating in their hearts stopped. , all turned their heads to look at Ding Ning, wondering what the commander should do. The battlefield of tens of thousands of people was unexpectedly quiet for a while. Ding Ning raised his head slowly, and shouted: "If you died for the Song family, you should not regret it!" Before he finished speaking, he bent his bow and shot an arrow!The arrow was strong and fast, and it shot straight at Princess Weiyang on the stage!The arrow shot into Princess Weiyang's head, and she immediately collapsed to the ground.All the soldiers were in awe, with tears in their eyes and awe in their hearts. At this time, many wives and children of the generals in front of the opposing team cried and panicked. Ding Ning held the Yitian sword in his hand, and shouted sharply: "Shoot all the crying women to death!" There was a swishing sound, and more than ten arrows shot out, and the crying people were shot to death one after another, and there was no one there. No more shouting. There was a moment of silence on the battlefield.Ding Ning looked back at his soldiers, his eyes shone with fear, and he yelled out every word: "Today, if you die in battle, you are for the country; if you survive, you are also for the country!" Seeing that the opponent was not threatened, Fang Tianyu immediately left the captives and attacked the Song army.Ding Ning did not flinch, and immediately commanded the army to fight.This place immediately turned into a Shura field, with flags fluttering, soldiers and horses coming and going, and the sound of horns in battle. In the chaos, I saw a runaway horse galloping in the formation, but there was no one there.When the horses came close, they suddenly saw figures rushing out, moving back and forth among the horses, approaching like a ghost.When he got close, there was a sound of strings, and three arrows shot towards Fang Tianyu like a string of beads. Fang Tianyu was startled, he swung his whip and struck arrows.He was already very skilled in swinging the whip to strike the arrow, but there was an internal force hidden in the arrow, which made his arm numb.He shot down an arrow, and before he could return the whip, the second arrow arrived in an instant!The arrow pierced through his left rib and passed through his chest, the soldiers around him didn't have time to protect him.Armpit and elbows changed, and the two sides couldn't recover from the battle for a while. The man jumped out from the horse, cut off Fang Tianyu's head with a single knife, held it up high, and shouted at Siye in a sharp voice: "The leader is dead, let me assist Wangzhi! Surrender quickly, and you will save your life!" Everyone was stunned for a moment——that man with red clothes and long hair was the dead Princess Weiyang! It turned out that she possessed unique skills. When Ding Ning shot an arrow, she lowered her head and bit the arrow stack with her teeth, and even pretended to be killed by the arrow.After everyone's attention was diverted, they quietly "resurrected" and slowly approached Fang Tianyu, hitting him with one blow. Ding Ning refused to take advantage of the opportunity, pointed at the whip, and the army covered and killed them. Among the chaotic soldiers, the two galloped towards each other on horseback, watching each other silently.In just a short moment, he had gone from life to death once, and for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he felt complicated for a moment, and suddenly he was separated from the world. "I think you will remember that I know martial arts." Finally, Princess Weiyang laughed, "It seems that I guessed it right." ——For that arrow, Ding Ning aimed at her jaw, which is why he cooperated so well. "For you to take such a big risk, it's really..." He was a little scared, and murmured, "I'm really afraid that I may not be accurate, and accidentally shot you to death with my own hands..." Princess Weiyang laughed: "It's nice to die for the court, with a decent appearance... You and I can both be freed in one fell swoop." She lowered her head slightly and smiled, but her eyes were as sad as water. Ding Ning didn't know what to say, but quietly clenched the whip in his hand. "Where's Di Qing?" After a long time, Princess Weiyang asked, "Why didn't you see him?" "He has already led the troops to fight against the Khitan troops." Ding Ning said. "Okay, I'll help him now!" Princess Weiyang turned the horse's head. Ding Ning nodded, and said, "I still can't get away from this side of the situation. You tell him to let him hold on for a while, and I will immediately lead the troops to help." At the moment when the army was pressing down on the border, he had no time to say anything, just Glancing at her, he rode his horse into the battlefield.Princess Weiyang watched him leave, and the hand holding the whip couldn't help trembling.When Ding Ning went to the battlefield, the expression he looked back at the parting seemed to contain a trace of concern and concern. He...he is my husband.She sighed inwardly.But what is the relationship between them?The marriage of the two was originally out of helplessness, and each had a sweetheart, and even threatened each other with death in order to resist.However, it wasn't until we met that I realized that the other party was not as hateful as I imagined—maybe all the antipathy was just a preconceived idea. However, everything is already like this... irreversible.Princess Weiyang let out a sigh while galloping his horse. Although Ding Ning will never forget Bingmei, how can he forget Di Qing?Even if they really get married according to the decree, and their bodies are close at hand and their hearts are at the end of the world, for the two of them, wouldn't it be a kind of torture until death?
