On July 7, Shangjing was destroyed, and the Yuan army massacred nearly 100,000 households.
On July 7th, the Chen and Liao reinforcements and the Yuan army fought fiercely in the city, and were attacked by the Wokuotai army in turn. The body fills the city.
A day later, Chen Jun snatched back the body of the coach, and 40,000 people were so indignant, they killed him again and entered the city.
Shangjing was devastated, and was almost razed to the ground in this war, and 200,000 households were killed by arrows or by the swords and soldiers of the Yuan army.
Another day later, the reinforcements of the Liao army along Zhongjing Road finally joined the battle group. The Yuan army was crushed and scattered into the northern wilderness. , An army of anti-generals, the two sides fought in Bailu Ye, with corpses scattered everywhere, extremely tragic.
This tug-of-war lasted nearly half a month, along the western section of Shangjing City to the Xianbei Mountains, along the northern line of ten rooms and nine empty spaces.
On the night of Qixi Festival, the night when the whole city fell, everyone in Qionghuayuan evacuated along the secret passage in the city. Duan Ling gasped and walked ahead with the injured girl on his back.
"Your Highness, you are injured, you cannot..."
"What do you care about, Your Highness at this time?" Duan Ling said.
Blood soaked all over him, not knowing if it was his own wound or the blood of the girl on his back. It was almost dawn when they heard the sound of the wooden board at the end of the tunnel.
A group of people passed by, and another group of people passed by, accompanied by the sound of arrows and screams.
Everyone looked up in anxiety and looked at the wooden board above their heads. The sky light filtered through the gaps in the wooden board, and a lot of blood dripped down.
Xunchun pointed to the top, Duan Ling waved his hand and made a mouth shape - Yuan Jun.
After a while of silence, Duan Ling pushed the plank away.
The bodies of the soldiers of Chen State were everywhere, the sky was bright, and flames were burning all around. Duan Ling put down the girl on his back and tried her breath.
She didn't know when she died.
"She's dead." Xunchun said.
Duan Ling asked, "What's her name?"
"Qiu Jin." Xunchun replied, "Let's go."
Duan Ling let go of the soft weed, and Qiu Jin was slashed by Yuan Jun on the shoulder blade, showing a two-inch deep wound. Before dying, his eyes were closed, and his face was pale, which was a relief and a relief.
Duan Ling glanced at Xunchun. There were only a dozen or so people around them. Xunchun said, "Go behind the patrol department, there is a path leading to the outside of the city, go."
Duan Ling had been bandaged with an arrow wound on his back, but he was still bleeding. He hesitated a few times, knowing that his father had already come in. However, the city was in chaos, and Chen Guo’s army did not know where they were. Xunchun urged him to take his life as the most important thing and not to go back rashly. .
Several people had just entered along the side path of the Patrol Division, when suddenly there was a Yuan army shooting arrows, Xunchun shouted: "Back off!"
A group of Yuan troops apparently had been waiting for a long time, preparing to ambush the Liao army, but unexpectedly they waited for the fleeing people, and everyone blocked the frame while looking for cover. Two more people were shot dead in an instant. Duan Ling was shooting arrows while covering the crowd. Xunchun roared, rushed forward, jumped to the heights in two steps, and stabbed the archer to death with one sword. Duan Ling greeted him, but behind him there was another Screaming, more Yuan Jun rushed in!
"Go!" Xunchun shouted.
There were more and more Yuan troops, and Duan Ling led people to the depths of the patrol department. The door was knocked open, and one person rushed out, pointing a bow and arrow at Duan Ling. Duan Ling was shocked and recognized Cai Yan.
Immediately afterwards, Cai Yan fired an arrow at Duan Ling, Duan Ling subconsciously stood still, the arrow rubbed his shoulder and flew past, shooting down the Yuan army rushing from behind him on a horse.
"Follow me!" Cai Yan shouted.
Duan Ling didn't have time to say goodbye to Cai Yan, so he was forcibly dragged away by him. Xunchun held Zhan Shanhai in his left hand and the Mo Dao in his right hand. "I'll give you the Queen, get out of the city!"
Duan Ling was about to speak, but was dragged into the path behind the Patrol Division by Cai Yan.
Everyone was out of breath, Cai Yan hit an arrow in his leg, turned around the mountain road behind the Patrol Division, hung down along a rope, and finally escaped from the city.
"Why are you here?" Duan Ling asked.
"The city is broken, and I can't stay at home. I thought I would come to the Patrol Division to guard it. If I can kill one, one will be killed." Cai Yan panted, "Why... …”
Duan Ling looked at Cai Yan, and they were silent for a long time. No one spoke. In the end, Cai Yan still didn't speak up.
A loud noise in the distance alarmed the two of them, and it was the sound of the collapse of the North City Gate.
On the roof of the Patrol Division, Xunchun's red dress was flying, and the Yuan army rushed in along the streets of Beicheng in an instant like locusts crossing the border.
"Go." Duan Ling said.
Cai Yan and Duan Ling's points, at this moment, apart from them, there are only nine people left.
But where to go? Xianbei Mountain? Every road is dangerous. To the south is a battlefield of 100,000 troops, and they will be shot to death by stray arrows before they pass through. The east and west roads are all deserters.
"Go north first." Duan Ling said, "Go into the mountains to hide for a while."
There are more and more Yuan troops, they are searching Beicheng District, and they will shoot dead as soon as there is a living person.
Everyone ran along the wilderness on foot, submerged in the wheat fields under the sky, Li Jianhong taught him that whenever there is any potential danger when escaping from the battlefield, you must not slack off for a moment, and you must be vigilant at all times, because you cannot predict when it will happen. A deserter finds you.
Compared with the regular army, deserters are more dangerous. I am afraid that you will leak the news to the army, and you will be fearless because you will risk your life.
They walked along the wheat field for most of the day. The sun was hanging high, causing Duan Ling to feel dizzy. Dizzy and dazed, Cai Yan hurriedly said, "Duan Ling!"
The girls were in a state of embarrassment and lost several people in the wheat field. Cai Yan carried Duan Ling on his back and looked for a place to rest. Someone else went back to find his companions.
"The Yuan people are here!" A scream cut through the sky, "Let's go!"
The girls in Qionghua Courtyard have some martial arts skills and can withstand it for a while. However, the Yuan people drive galloping horses and have good physique. They are ready to work at ease. Unable to resist, when they heard the Yuan army coming, the girls abandoned Duan Ling and Cai Yan one after another, shouting, "You go first!"
Cai Yan roared in pain and was about to pull out his knife to fight recklessly, but Ding Zhi grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back.
"If your brother is still alive." Ding Zhi looked into Cai Yan's eyes and said coldly, "I would never want you to die here."
Cai Yan took a few breaths, and Ding Zhi said again, "Let's go!"
Cai Yan stepped forward, carried Duanling on his back, and fled into the depths of the wheat field with Ding Zhi.
There were screams in the distance, and another person was shot. Ding Zhi couldn't help looking back, and resisted the idea of going back to rescue several times.
Duan Ling was groggy and bumped on Cai Yan's back. Ding Zhi protected them and escaped all the way to the lake at the end of the wheat field, where there was a boat and a hut.
"Follow this lake, all the way to the southeast." Ding Zhi said, "Escape into the mountains and you will be safe."
Ding Zhi untied the ropes on the pier, and there were shouts of killing in the distance, and the Yuan soldiers rushed to catch up with them.
Cai Yan put Duan Ling on the boat, but Ding Zhi pulled the boat back and hid in the grass.
"Don't come out." Ding Zhi whispered, "Don't come out..."
Cai Yan: "..."
Ding Zhi and Cai Yan looked at each other, smiled softly after a moment, reached out and touched Cai Yan's profile.
"No..." Cai Yan's eyes were full of tears, but Ding Zhi covered his mouth and let him lie down beside Duan Ling, then turned around, carrying a dagger, and ran to the front of the house. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Jun's screams came from afar, several times in a row, and suddenly became silent again.
In the silence, there was a scream from Ding Zhi.
Duan Ling suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fear, he was about to get up, but Cai Yan held him tightly. After a long time, Ding Zhi was completely silent. The Yuan army rode back and forth several times, searched the shore, only to find the broken straw rope, then shouted and cursed, and chased along the lake.
The reeds covered the sky and covered the earth, flying in the wind, and when the sun went down, the lake was reflected in a blood red, sparkling.
The sky is as blue as it has been washed, the smell of dry grass is in the air, white clouds are floating, and the sky is vast. Ding Zhi's corpse exuded smoky blood in the water, his hair was disheveled, his body was naked, his eyes were open, and the autumn sky outside the Great Wall was reflected in his pupils.
a day later.
"Drink some water." Cai Yan whispered.
Duan Ling woke up shaking, coughing, and found himself in a room. Cai Yan fed him herbs and then unwrapped his bandages.
"What place is this?" Duan Ling asked.
"Village." Cai Yan replied briefly, "Yaohu Village, three days."
This is a village in the southeastern section of Xianbei Mountain. There are more than ten families living in it. They have been digging medicine for a living. Duan Ling drank the medicine and felt better. Seeing Cai Yan's eyes, he asked, "Where are they?"
"Go away." Cai Yan replied.
In the afternoon, the autumn wind blew, reflecting the light and shadow of countless leaves, rustling on the windows and doors, and the weather was dry under the blazing sun, like an unreal dream, Duan Ling took a deep breath and lay back on the bed.
"Is there any news about my father?" Duan Ling struggled to get out of bed.
"I don't know." Cai Yan said, "I don't have time to ask, so I won't be afraid of running out of firewood if the mountains are still there."
Duan Ling and Cai Yan looked at each other, and Cai Yan said, "Cure the disease first, and then try to go back to the south. You go back to Xichuan, and I go back to Zhongjing."
Duan Ling slowed down for a while, and was able to get out of bed and walk around. He touched his chest and found that Yu Huang was gone.
Cai Yan sat outside the door, motionless.
Oops, where did Duan Ling's secret passage go? Wanyi met Chen Jun to come to help, and he only had a token. He felt all over his body, but he couldn't find Yuhuang.
"You're looking for this?" Cai Yan took out the jade and said to Duan Ling.
"Thank you." Duan Ling said with relief, and put on the jade Huang, Cai Yan added: "I also bring the sword with you, but unfortunately the scabbard is lost."
"It doesn't matter." Duan Ling was not obsessed with the sword. He looked at Cai Yan for a while, and suddenly knelt down to him. Cai Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and said, "Don't! You are the prince!"
"Thank you for saving my life." Duan Ling said.
"Your father taught me martial arts in order to protect you." Cai Yan said, "Everyone can give up their lives, not for feelings, but for your..."
Duan Ling was silent for a long time, Cai Yan didn't know how to speak for a while, and finally said: "Identity."
Duan Ling nodded and sighed.
Not long after, someone came back, and Cai Yan went out to inquire about the situation of the battle outside. The person replied that reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom had arrived. Although Shangjing was riddled with holes, it finally returned to the hands of the Liao Kingdom. As for where the Yuan army went—no knowledge.
"Where's Chen's army?" Cai Yan asked.
"I've already gone back." The old attendant replied, "I'll go back - first Da Yu, then Da Xia, then Da Chen, and then Da Liao... As things change, you will sing and I will come on the scene—"
gone back? Duan Ling thought to himself that his father probably didn't find him, so he must have left. OK, otherwise it's too dangerous, but is he really gone? Maybe still looking for him.
That night, Duanling sat in front of the door hugging his knees, looking at the stars in the autumn night, he couldn't help but think of his father again.
He must be in a panic at this moment, Duan Ling thought to himself, but what can he do? Try to get out now? No, in case of encountering a large force of the Yuan army, it will only be more dangerous. Wo Kuotai has suffered a defeat, and will surely burn, kill and loot along the way.
The world is changing, Baiyun Canggou, everything in the world seems to be very far away in this isolated village in the deep mountains. Duan Ling heard from his father that he hid in the depths of the Xianbei Mountains when he was hunted down, and Lang Junxia's home must be in the same mood now.
"Go to sleep, it's cold." Cai Yan said, "It's like this outside, I don't know hundreds of thousands of people have died, but in this village it looks like it's none of my business."
Duan Ling said, "That's how the common people are."
Duan Ling was about to enter when he heard a scream in the distance.
The scream shocked the entire village, followed by the sound of horse hooves. He was already familiar with this sound and could no longer be familiar with it. He immediately lay on the ground, his ears pressed to the ground, and the sound of horse hooves in the distance was thousands.
"The Yuan army is here!"
At the same time, Lang Junxia drove thousands of miles to the sky and stopped by the shore of the lake. In the dark night, the sound of the lake water, he salvaged Ding Zhi's body from the lake, put it aside, looked left and right, made a whistle, turned on his horse, North Korea Chase in the mountains.
