Chapter 163 Chapter Thirty-One

The fifth part of the vertical and horizontal siege, the thirty-first chapter, the three-way breakout In the twenty-fourth year of Rongsheng, Wuyin, Tingfei was besieged by the Yong army in the south of the Ji family. The bloody battle lasted for more than ten days. At that time, Daizhou was invaded by barbarians, and the situation was critical. , and the Han army's food was exhausted, the generals wanted to sacrifice the Daizhou army, seeking a chance to break out of the siege, and the court flew to inspect it, and had to personally decide on a breakout strategy. ——"History of the Northern Han Dynasty."Legend of Flying Dragon Court"

Riding his horse and standing on the low slope, Li Xian's eyes were like a torch, and he looked at the Yong army formation in the distance with a smile that was not a smile. The Ji family was the main direction for the Northern Han army to break through, so he personally led the army to block the Northern Han army's return.Fighting for days, the strong Yong army forcefully blocked the Northern Han army's offensive, while Changsun Ji was in charge of oppressing the Northern Han army's living space and assisting Li Xian to attack the Northern Han army from behind. The Northern Han army almost failed to break through. , had to retreat, all because of Changsun Ji's role. Of course, Li Xian's tough style was also an important reason why the Northern Han army could not break through the encirclement.After years of fighting, only today did Li Xian experience the wonderful feeling of being in control of everything.

However, Li Xian still felt depressed and didn't know what happened. Jiang Zhe seemed to be in a bad mood these days, and he didn't care about military affairs. He was either reading or practicing calligraphy every day. His face seemed to be rather annoyed at himself, no, it was not just aimed at himself, the eldest grandson Jide once went to see him when he was free, and he also looked so lukewarm, even Jing Chi was kicked out by him, but he didn't Know exactly what makes this gentle and refined young man so unreasonable.Shaking his head, Li Xianping abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart and looked forward. He got the information from Daizhou yesterday. With a thought in his heart, he sent the letter to Lin Bi with archery. He thought that the Daizhou army must be unstable. According to the report from the scouts, North The Han army will run out of food in one or two days. Presumably the Northern Han army will break through today and tomorrow, and the dawn is the most critical time, so he personally sits here.

Suddenly, there was some change in the front of the army formation. Li Xian cheered up and looked up. Under the first ray of sunlight in the morning, the Daizhou army was rushing towards the Yong army formation like sharp arrows. Holding a silver gun in his hand and wearing a brocade golden phoenix cloak, it is Lin Bi, Princess Jiaping.Although Lin Bi was still wearing the helmet this time, he didn't close the visor, revealing a beautiful face that was as beautiful as jade. The horse was like a dragon, and the person was like a flying phoenix, but his face was as cold as ice, which inevitably weakened his charm a bit.Li Xian only felt his heart tremble. At that moment, he only had that vivid and moving heroic figure in his eyes.The moment Li Xian hesitated slightly, Lin Bi had rushed into the Yong Army's East Camp at the head of the horse, with silver spears flying, and was invincible. It was brandishing knives and guns that rushed into the camp of the Yong army. Those arrows that were rushing like a torrential rain seemed to have eyes, and they knew how to avoid the body of the Daizhou army, but they ruthlessly took the lives of the Yong army.Li Xian was startled, and quickly issued a military order. The flag was waved, and the drums and trumpets were sounded. The Yongjun East Camp began to retreat in an orderly manner. The two wings retreated slowly, intending to encircle the Daizhou Army. This is the usual practice these days .

Lin Bi had experienced the battlefield for a long time, so she naturally knew that the attack speed should be controlled at this moment, so as not to be surrounded by the enemy on three sides, but this time Lin Bi had a different choice, and she shouted loudly: "My hometown father and old governor look forward to it, brothers, kill!" Then almost recklessly rushed into the Yong army's central army, and the Daizhou army pierced the Yong army's chest like a sharp knife. Lin Bi shouted loudly, and the silver spear drove away a horse spear, and directly pierced the throat of a Yong army knight. The dying Yong army cavalry had blood red eyes and a hideous face. Holding the silver spear with both hands, refusing to let go, Lin Bi turned around immediately, pulled out the treasured sword around his waist with his left hand, cut off the man's arms with a flash of light, and swung the silver spear flatly, killing a madly attacking Yong army. The throat was cut, the treasured sword swirled, beheaded a Yongjun, and then the precious sword returned to its sheath.Lin Bi, who had killed three people in an instant, was as cruel as a Shura, but her gorgeous face was like a wild flower blooming on the battlefield, causing the beautiful spring flowers to lose their color.Inspired by her frenzied fighting, the Daizhou Army exerted their strongest personal combat power. After being surrounded, almost each of them faced several enemies, but with their superb equestrian skills and kung fu, they did not have the slightest When the wind fell, the Daizhou army seemed to have turned into a hedgehog covered in sharp blades, cutting down the encirclement of the Yong army layer by layer.

Li Xian frowned. He originally expected that the Daizhou Army's morale would be slackened. Unexpectedly, Lin Bi called on the Daizhou Army by returning home to kill the enemy. Now it seems that the Daizhou Army's determination to fight to the death has been strengthened. It seems that Dongying may not be able to support it. , but if they support Dongying at this moment, the Qinzhou Army that they will face next will be difficult to deal with.I originally expected that the Qinzhou Army might have conflicts with the Daizhou Army, because the Daizhou Army is the most suitable as the vanguard to break through and divert the attention of the Yong Army, but the Daizhou Army may not be willing to make such a sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Lin Bi would be willing Taking the lead for Long Tingfei, doesn't she consider the loss of Daizhou Army?

Now, it's useless to think too much, and said coldly to the sergeant from Dongying who came to ask for help: "Tell Luo Zhang, if there is no reinforcements, if his 50,000 troops can't stop the Daizhou army, don't use it to plead guilty, just wipe your own neck." .” At this time, the Daizhou Army had already torn through the first line of defense in the Yong Army's East Camp. Lin Bi heard the muffled sound of drums. Hundreds of big drums rumbled loudly at the same time. Lin Bi looked up and saw that nine Yong Army infantry phalanxes were standing guard. Each phalanx was composed of 3,000 people. At the front was a giant shield as tall as a man, and behind it were densely packed spears. It's the swordsmen, and then the archers.At the end there is a square formation, inside which is the general flag of the Yong army, with the word "Luo" flying on it.

A cold light flashed in Lin Bi's eyes, he raised his silver spear, pointed at the Yong Army's phalanx, and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" The Daizhou Army did not slow down their horses, and the first round of arrows shot into the Yong Army's phalanx. At that time, there were still two hundred steps away. In the fifth round of arrow rain, the distance between the two armies was only fifty steps. Five arrows were shot within a hundred steps. He raised his head and almost bowed his neck to hide behind the shield. His momentum was unavoidably weak. At this moment, the Daizhou army had rushed into the formation of the Yong army. The horse hit the shield and the spear pierced the body. They didn't relax their archery, arrows were flying in the sky like a torrential rain, and the archers of the Yong army were shooting arrows desperately, trying to block the advance of the Daizhou army, while the Daizhou army fought back like ghosts, arrow after arrow, They do all kinds of actions on horseback, dodging, swinging knives, stabbing with spears, and picking, but they are still able to shoot arrows to kill the enemy in various situations.The first army formation was breached, and the second army formation was breached. At this moment, the shouts of killing from behind the Daizhou army reappeared. Those Yong army cavalry who had just been broken through by the Daizhou army regrouped and attacked from behind. up.The knights behind the Daizhou Army shot back and fired back. The two armies glued together, and the Daizhou Army's offensive was contained.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief flag of the Northern Han Army appeared on the horizon. The banner was fluttering, and the cavalry was like the wind. With the "Dragon" banner on the battlefield, Li Xian cheered up, and immediately gave orders again and again to mobilize the army to meet the enemy. Although Long Tingfei's charge was unstoppable, Li Xian had already made preparations to block Long Tingfei with him. All of them were warriors who had survived the battle and retreated from Qinyuan. They were elite soldiers with extraordinary martial arts, and the sense of humiliation in their hearts was very strong. They almost fought with the Northern Han army with their lives. Breakthrough, this is the only belief of this army.The two armies collided abruptly, one side risked its life to break through, and the other vowed to avenge its shame. This fight was a tragic one.A soldier of the Yong Dynasty had just picked the enemy off his horse, and the soldier of the Northern Han Dynasty, who was pierced by a horse, smiled and hugged the enemy's weapon tightly. Another soldier of the Northern Han Dynasty took the opportunity to stab him down, and the other two soldiers of the Yong Dynasty surrounded him. The lance pierced into the sergeant's body almost at the same time. Not far away, a Northern Han sergeant covered in blood stared at the blood-red eyes and pressed the crossbow in his hand. The armor and body of the Yong army sergeant he assassinated.

Long Tingfei looked coldly at the battlefield where the two armies were fighting. Even the warriors of the Northern Han army who were desperate could not easily break through the defense line of the Yong army. He took a deep breath of the cool spring air, in addition to the fragrance of soil and the smell of green grass Outside, there was only a strong smell of blood. He closed his upper armor, raised the halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Follow me." Then he rushed into the army formation. Behind him, he was wearing a red war robe. His personal guards roared loudly and waved their weapons, and the full-scale offensive immediately attracted everyone's attention. The Northern Han army automatically separated to the two sides, and the fiery red torrent formed an array of arrows, wedged into the central army of the Yong army. , the rest of the Northern Han army automatically attached to the tail of the cone arrow array, the torrent became larger and larger, and the Yong army's army array began to shake and turbulent.

Seeing this, Li Xian smiled coldly. He and Long Tingfei had fought countless times in battles for many years. He had long been used to seeing Long Tingfei's arrogance. Although he couldn't help but admire him, it was impossible to make him bow his head and admit defeat , with one fell swoop by Ma Chan, the horn sounded through the air. Li Xiangang was about to spur his horse into battle, but Zhuang Jun, the guard beside him, stepped forward to stop him and said, "Your Highness, now Long Ting Fei has already fallen into Pingyang, and it is only a matter of time before he can be captured. His Highness He is a rich man, so he should not go into battle again. If there is any damage, it will be a failure." Li Xian laughed and said: "If the coach does not personally go to the danger, how can he boost morale? This king has fought with Long Tingfei for many years. Today How can you not give him a ride, you get out of the way." Ma Qian waved lightly, forcing Zhuang Jun to get out of the way, Li Xian had already taken the lead to meet the forward of the Northern Han army, and the well-trained guards around him rushed up , with Li Xianhu in the middle, two flames collided and intertwined in the center of the battlefield, the neighing of the horses, the hoarse shouts of the soldiers and the painful groans of the warriors before they died were intertwined, almost everyone was covered by blood and blood. The murderous aura went to his head, and the atmosphere of madness permeated the entire battlefield. The eyes of Long Tingfei and Li Xian were intertwined on the battlefield. Although there were many guards between them, making it impossible for them to fight face to face, their eyes were always on each other, and the weapons in their hands were only instinctive. Eliminate the enemies around you, how many times you met on the battlefield, although the two never had the chance to fight face to face, but they have engraved each other's figure in their hearts, and today is finally the time of life and death.Almost at the same time, the two passed through the obstruction of their personal guards, the halberd crossed a semicircle, and the horse spear stabbed straight, the two weapons clashed together, and then quickly separated, the two guards almost surge He rushed forward like he wanted to protect his coach again, but the strong wind from the weapons of the two of them was full of true energy, preventing the guards from approaching. The two fought fiercely together, fighting fiercely, and no one retreated. meaning after. Blocking the halberd that was piercing his throat, Li Xian's eyes were filled with fervent flames. This is the person who made him suffer the pain of failure time and time again, and escaped from death time and time again. The gift from this person is strange, but Li Xian doesn't think this person is hateful, maybe it's because of the gift from this person in the past, so that he often struggled at the critical moment of life and death, which took away the pain in his heart.In this life, he lost to the emperor's brother Li Zhi. Although he didn't compete with each other on the battlefield, it was obvious that his failure to seize the heir apparent made him the emperor's brother's defeat forever.And the other person who defeated him and made him powerless was the person in front of him. Although it was a great victory to defeat the Ji family and lure him into the siege, but if he asked himself, Li Xian would rather win him in Qinyuan in an upright manner.But apart from the respect in his heart, Li Xian also had a trace of inexplicable jealousy in his heart. Obviously, this person was trapped in a tight siege, and his life and death were beyond his control, but Li Xian felt that he would rather be Long Ting Fei, and would rather die on the battlefield.Scolding himself hard for no reason, Li Xian fended off the halberd with all his strength, and stabbed Long Tingfei's chest with his backhand. This is the person who has been defeated many times, but he is not discouraged. He comes to fight again and again, and always maintains a strong fighting spirit. Sometimes Long Tingfei feels like a touchstone, honing the person in front of him into the sharpest Bingren, every time he sees the person in front of him rushing forward without fear of death, fighting bloody battles without fear of death, Long Tingfei always feels a trace of respect in his heart, not everyone will be like this person in front of him, he is clearly a royal nobleman, The son of a thousand gold, but he did not hesitate to fight with his life.He sighed softly in his heart, now that the person in front of him has been tempered into steel, but he is about to collapse on the bank of Qinshui.Looking up, seeing Li Xian's deep eyes full of flames and murderous aura, Long Tingfei smiled slightly, and swiped his halberd across. If he could fight with this person, it would be worth it. It is a rare spectacle that the coaches of the two armies are singled out on the battlefield, but the guards of the two armies are covered in cold sweat. If the coach dies in front of them, it will be a great shame for them as guards. Li Xian fought more and more fiercely, and the strong wind blew away, forcing the people around him to retreat several feet away, but these personal guards still fought around the two of them, and the uniforms of the same color were mixed together, although the styles were different. As for making them see the enemy wrongly, from the perspective of the soldiers of the two armies in the distance, it is difficult to distinguish between enemy and friend, so the arrow rain no longer covers here. After fighting hard for dozens of rounds, both Long Tingfei and Li Xian had sweat on their foreheads. Both of them were rivals of ten thousand people, and their immediate kung fu was outstanding. It can be seen that Long Tingfei has already gained the upper hand. After all, he has been taught by the Mozong, and his martial arts are slightly better than Li Xian's. Li Xian's advantage lies in his tenacity. He has fought hard for several years, and Li Xian doesn't know how much This time he faced danger with his own body, and his martial arts were perfected in the killing. He was the most perseverant. Although Long Tingfei had the upper hand, Li Xian was also very strict. Even if he fought for another hundred or ten rounds, he would not lose. The two fought for a long time, Long Tingfei had already sensed that his own offensive was slowing down, but Yong's army was becoming more and more stable. If there was no chance to kill Li Xian, Long Tingfei would have left Li Xian and continued to charge It's been a long time.A little impatient in his heart, Long Tingfei began to be a little desperate, almost every move was a killing move that hurt both sides, but Li Xian was not afraid at all, and instead rushed to attack with Long Tingfei, so that both of them were in frequent distress, The guards on both sides were frightened. At this moment, Zhuang Jun finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "Protect Your Highness." After saying that, he raised his horse and rushed over, no longer caring about whether he would be blamed by Li Xian.The moment he rushed out, the nine feathered arrows pierced through the condensed murderous aura like a phantom, passed through the staggered figures, and shot towards Long Tingfei. Ting Fei also took three steps back with his horse and man. The true energy contained in the long arrow made Long Tingfei's body tremble, and the halberd swung away, revealing the vitals in front of him.That was the arrow shot by Duanmuqiu. As the personal guard of King Qi, he was not particularly good at horseback except for archery, so he deliberately fell behind. At this moment, he played the highest level of his archery and successfully pinned down Long Tingfei's attack gave Li Xian a good opportunity.Li Xiance stepped forward immediately, and Ma Qian stabbed Long Tingfei in the heart without mercy.A Northern Han knight's eyes were about to burst, and he stabbed the horse's hip with a dagger in his left hand. With a long hiss, the horse rushed forward frantically, just in front of Li Xian's horse, and stood up. Li Xian's horse lance Fiercely piercing the horse's head, the knight on the horse threw out his dagger when he turned over and fell off the horse, and shot at Li Xian's throat.Li Xian almost exhausted all his strength in this attack. He clearly saw the dagger flying towards him, but he was unable to dodge it. His eyes suddenly became bright and clear, and he stared at the hidden weapon that was about to take his life. Same calm.Just at the very moment, his personal guards had arrived, and a resounding Buddha's chant was deafening, "Amituofo", a personal guard turned over and flew across the space of several feet in an instant, and slashed with his palm, the short knife slanted Brushing against Li Xian's neck, the bodyguard fell down exhausted, his horse happened to catch up, the bodyguard landed on the saddle, and said loudly: "Your Highness, don't risk yourself lightly." But this bodyguard was exactly Master Fazheng.As soon as he finished speaking, King Qi's personal guards had swarmed up to protect him. Li Xian smiled helplessly, and looked up, only to see Long Tingfei leaning over to rescue the soldier who fell from the horse. Turning over and sitting behind Long Tingfei, Long Tingfei was riding his horse away, when Li Xian looked over, Long Tingfei seemed to be aware of it, looked back, and looked at each other, both of them had eyes of admiration.Li Xian smiled again, and said loudly: "Kill! Don't let the Northern Han army go alone." Long Tingfei had already rushed into the formation of the Yong army, and the chaotic Northern Han army automatically followed behind him, and the arrow formation formed again. . Li Xian knew that the guards around him would never allow him to fight again, so he could only focus on commanding the army to wear down the vigor and strength of the Northern Han army. When the two armies were fighting the most intensely, the Yong army approached the west camp in the direction of Qinshui Suddenly the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, Li Xian's heart was shocked, and he looked at Long Tingfei. Li Xian had already noticed that although the banner behind Long Tingfei showed the whole army, it seemed to be There were only 20,000 to 30,000 people, Li Xian's heart was agitated, and he understood the true meaning of Long Tingfei's use of himself as a bait, but the main force in this direction was within his camp, and Jing Chi was in charge of the West Camp, with only 40,000 people under his command People, I am afraid that the Northern Han army will succeed in breaking through.With a playful smile on his lips, Li Xian thought, Jing Chi is also one of Dayong's generals, and the Northern Han army would not be able to break through the siege so easily if he blocked it. Changsun Ji is not a vegetarian, and the Northern Han army would have no choice but to die if they were encircled back and forth. .What's more, Li Xian thought, as long as you kill Long Tingfei, it doesn't matter if tens of thousands of people run away.Thinking of this, Long Tingfei didn't intend to reinforce Xiying, but continued to order to encircle and wipe out Long Tingfei.Behind the Northern Han army, Changsun Ji had already led his army approaching. This time the Northern Han army made it clear that they were going to fight decisively, and there was no possibility of the Northern Han army taking the opportunity to break through, so Changsun Ji also began to show a dangerous edge. In the west camp of the Yong army, Jing Chi commanded the army to resist the stronger attack of the Northern Han army. The Northern Han army with nearly 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers had the upper hand on some battlefields. Jing Chi was completely defending the camp. He had already received news and knew Lin Bi and Long Tingfei are rushing to the East Camp and the Central Army Camp. As long as they can stick to the camp, they will be supported when the other two battalions win. Twenty thousand infantry should be able to secure victory.In addition to the 100,000 troops in the encirclement of the entire defense line in the direction of the Ji family, King Qi gathered all the retreating troops of the Zezhou camp here. The Northern Han army broke through successfully. At this time, if one had a pair of eyes looking down at the sky, one would surely be able to see that the three armies of the Northern Han Army who had broken through the encirclement were all in a bitter fight. As opponents for many years, the Zezhou Army had long been accustomed to fighting hard with them, and their strength was superior. With their own army behind them, they exhausted all their combat power without any scruples, and blocked the Northern Han army. If there were no accidents, Long Tingfei's plan to break out of the encirclement would be in vain.However, who is Long Tingfei, if he is not fully sure, how can he decide to divide his troops to break through? He has already thought of this kind of battle situation, if it is not for the king of Qi who will definitely come to the battlefield where he breaks through, how can he decide to sacrifice himself? As a bait, from the beginning to the end, the main direction of his breakout was Xiying, not only because it was close to Qinshui, so he could meet the water army to break through by the way, but another reason was that the guard there was Jing Chi, and beside Jing Chi There is a Mozong disciple lurking. Just when Jing Chi was concentrating on directing, the terrified screams of the guards suddenly came from his ears. Jing Chi dodged almost subconsciously, and his body shrank immediately, trying to reduce the range that might be attacked. Even so, he Still feeling the cold feeling of the sharp blade piercing into his body, the sharp pain hit, Jing Chi opened his eyes round, and saw that the person behind him sneaking up on him was Dai Yao, who had been favored by him recently. With a faint smile, behind him, several horizontal knives pierced his body, and five or six horse spears pierced him, but nothing stopped him from piercing a dagger into Jing Chi's rib.Jing Chi's body began to shake, and when he was about to fall off the horse, several personal guards rushed over and hugged him.A bright look flashed in Dai Yao's eyes, and with the last of his strength, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, suzerain!" Then he slowly closed his eyes, and his fire of life was quietly extinguished like this. At this time, Xiao Tong, who was in the Northern Han army formation, turned his face slightly. Although Dai Yao's shout could not reach his ears, the chaos in the Northern Han army formation had already explained everything. Said: "Three deer generals, you can break through." The horns of the Northern Han army raised one after another, and began an unstoppable charge. The Yong army, which suddenly lost its leader, began to be confused. Finally, the defense line of the Yong army was broken through. The army swarmed out. In the Yong army formation, Jing Chi's personal guards carried him to a safe place. The military doctor scrambled to the ground and was held up by several personal guards. He removed his armor, pulled out his dagger, and applied medicine. Blood gushed out from the wound. The bandaged cloth quickly penetrated, and the military doctor wanted to cry without tears: "This subordinate is incompetent, general, the general's injury may be..." Just when everyone was disheartened, Jing Chi suddenly woke up. Said: "Under the neck, inside the cleat." A guard immediately reached out and tore off Jing Chi's collar. It turned out that there was a gold cleat hanging around Jing Chi's neck. The guard opened the cleat, and inside was a longan-sized Wax pills, the white wax coat has a line of small characters as thin as mosquito feet "Hanyuan secret system".The military doctor's eyes lit up, he snatched the wax pills, gently crushed the white wax coat, a waft of fragrance refreshed his heart, revealing a red pill that was as bright as fire, and the military doctor stuffed it into the mouth of Jing Chi who was already covered in ice.The pill melted in the mouth, almost instantly, Jing Chi's body temperature began to warm up, and then the blood flow of the wound gradually decreased. After the military doctor applied several times the wound medicine, the wound stopped bleeding, and Jing Chi's breathing began to tend to Even though he fell into a coma again, anyone could tell that his life was saved. A personal guard looked at the chaotic battlefield. Most of the Northern Han army had broken through. Only six or seven thousand people were blocked by the lieutenant general who took over the command. The messy corpses of the Yong army were everywhere. He tremblingly said: "What to do, what to do?" What to do?" Another personal guard said loudly: "Go and report the situation here, Your Highness, let's make a rope net first, and send General Jing to the Lord Marquis of Chu Township, and the Master Superviser is very skilled in medicine, so that our general's injury will not change. " This personal guard is Jing Chi's confidant for many years, what he said made sense, everyone split up immediately, and put a rope net between the four horses, and put Jing Chi on it, so as not to be shocked and aggravate the injury , the guards escorted Jing Chi and left the battlefield. The upheaval in the West Camp reached the ears of Li Xian and Long Tingfei at the same time. Long Tingfei heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Masters, the main force of our army has broken through. Now it's up to us. We just can't survive. I also need to bring a few people to be buried with me, kill!" Following his order, the Northern Han army began a reckless charge.Li Xian, on the other hand, looked ashen, and quickly sent an order: "Let the deputy general of Xiying take care of military affairs temporarily, hunt down and block the main force of the Northern Han army, and immediately send a letter to General Changsun to let him go north with all his strength, and the Northern Han army must not be allowed to return so easily. Qinyuan." Then Li Xian said solemnly: "The matter has been like this, there is no need to regret it, we will try our best to encircle and wipe out Long Tingfei, if there is another mistake, we will have no face." All the soldiers were also furious and rushed towards After defeating the enemy in front of him, Long Tingfei must not be allowed to break through again, this became the only thought in the hearts of every Yong army soldier.
