Li Jizong is worthy of being an undefeated general in the eyes of the common people. This time, although there were few enemies, although he used the demoralized retreating troops to meet the high-spirited Liao soldiers, in one day of bloody battle, although almost all of the tens of thousands of elite soldiers were wiped out on the third day of the week. The 50,000 Liao soldiers were also killed and wounded more than 20,000. If Li Jizong can break through the siege and retreat to Chenjiagu, and lure the army deeper, then 3,000 bowmen and arrows will attack in front, and Wang Sheng and Pan Xun's 20,000 cavalry will besiege behind, and this battle will definitely turn defeat into victory.
Grandfather was in trouble and could not break through the encirclement of the Liao army, so he had to send troops to rescue him. The three thousand crossbowmen could not move, so King Gong and Li Mulan immediately rushed their horses to the outside of Chenjiagu. If they wanted to lead three thousand elites from the cavalry to rescue their grandfather, there was no need to fight, just lead the Liao army to Chenjiagu. Still have eight points to win. However, the couple rushed outside the valley in a hurry, only to find that Wang Sheng had taken 10,000 cavalry with him.
"My lord, there are still nearly 30,000 Liao soldiers left. Even if General Wang is here, we may not have a chance of winning. Now..." Standing in front of King Gong's horse, Pan Xun frowned and his voice was heavy.
"What do you mean, let's withdraw our troops, regardless of General Li?" King Gong scolded his face, "Previously, grandfather had a good strategy for retreating, but you didn't listen. You insisted that grandfather send troops. To kill grandfather?"
After scolding Pan Xun, before Pan Xun could refute, Prince Gong threw his whip sharply, pointed at the army and shouted: "Immediately send out three thousand troops, and the princess and I will go to rescue the old general, you quickly send someone to recall Wang Sheng, and the troops are here. Wait, ambush the Liao soldiers as originally planned. If there is any violation, this king will report the truth when he returns to Beijing, and see how you explain to the emperor!"
"My minister obeys!"
The prince was naturally different from ordinary people, so Pan Xun immediately dispatched 3,000 troops to Prince Gong, and then sent someone to inform Wang Sheng's army, who had been leaving for a long time. The order was passed on, and when he saw that Prince Gong and his wife were ready to set off, Pan Xun hurriedly chased after them, and persuaded with awe, "Wangye and Wangfei are precious, and there is no room for any mistakes. Commander, you should lead your troops to save the old general!"
"No need." Li Mulan glanced at him and brushed past him with a sullen face. This person was afraid of the Liao army, and he really gave it to him. Li Mulan was worried that Pan Xun would be frightened by the Liao army and retreated and perfunctory. She had to go in person because of her grandfather's life. After running for a while, Li Mulan suddenly thought of something and turned to look to the side.
It was Prince Gong who was keeping pace with her. The army moved from south to north, and the wind poured in from the valley, blowing everyone's robes and hunting. King Gong's upper body leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the front, like a rushing wolf, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and the whole body exuded an unfamiliar expression of Li Mulan. Military commander majesty. At this moment, Li Mulan was in a trance, and the past three years were vivid in his mind.
When she married into Prince Gong's mansion, the prince was eighteen years old, and he spoke and acted like a boy. Li Mulan was born in the general's mansion, and he was fascinated by the vigorous and resolute actions of men on the battlefield. At that time, King Gong was only a long-standing man in her eyes. The king of the royal gold and silver nest who knows some boxing and kung fu.
Li Mulan longed for a golden horse, and King Gong was with his concubine. Li Mulan didn’t care if King Gong had her in his heart. Even if King Gong sent the concubine in the backyard, he devoted himself to her, and his mother was very happy. Li Mulan But nothing was touched. The only change was probably that the evening was a little more interesting.
But now, the little man she regarded as a royal and delicate prince, wearing a battle armor, was walking with her on the road to save her grandfather. The Liao army numbered 30,000, and they only had 3,000. This trip was extremely dangerous, and it was very likely that there would be no return. Pan Xun persuaded him, but he still chose to go with her.
Li Mulan suddenly couldn't bear it. It was her grandfather who was trapped. She was bound by her duty, but he was a prince, and he had decades of wealth and glory in his life, so he shouldn't take risks for her. It's not worth it, she never gave him any favors, she didn't bow down to him as tenderly and considerately as a real wife, and even delayed to have children for him, since she was not a good princess, she shouldn't accept him like this. share of love.
"My lord, I'm worried that Pan and Wang are escaping from the battle, and I implore the lord to go back and sit for me and my grandfather." Li Mulan said sternly when she got closer to him.
King Gong hummed: "They dare not."
"What if?" Li Mulan asked worriedly.
Prince Gong frowned, clenched the reins and pondered for a moment, then suddenly persuaded her back: "You are also justified in worrying, so, you go back to the town, and I will rescue grandfather." Of course, Prince Gong knew that this trip was dangerous, and he didn't think too much about it before. Now that he has finally taken care of it, he hopes that his princess will stay with the army and be safer.
Li Mulan immediately heard the deep meaning in King Gong's words, and seeing his serious appearance, Li Mulan didn't dare to look at him, and silently looked away, feeling more and more ashamed. Knowing that he valued her more than himself, knowing that he was willing to take risks with her grandfather for her, she should have treated him better when he was still in the capital.
"My words don't work for the prince." Li Mulan tried hard to hide her emotions.
King Gong laughed loudly: "Husband and wife are one, I am the prince, you are the princess, who dares to despise you?"
Li Mulan pursed her lips and looked to the other side, but there was water light floating in her eyes. How strange, on the night of the bridal chamber, he almost split her in half, she held it back, and today her eyes were sore because of his heartless smirk.
Prince Gong stared at her strangely, she was silent for too long, and Queen Gong reacted after realizing it, so the stunned Prince Gong, instead of appreciating the concubine's consideration for him, widened his eyes angrily and rode his horse. Approaching, grabbed her arm fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "Li Mulan, listen carefully, today we have to live together, we have to die together, and then dare to look down on me, I..."
He grasped it too tightly, Li Mulan turned her head sideways, phoenix eyes looked into his eyes, as if asking, what can he do.
It happened that the horse rushed out of the valley, and the sun shone from one side, illuminating Li Mulan's entire face, and the water in the woman's cold eyes floated. King Gong opened his mouth in shock. Just as he was about to confirm whether he was wrong, Li Mulan suddenly broke free from his hand and swung the whip with his backhand. From the back, it is impossible to tell whether it is male or female.
And just like this back, I saw that King Gong suddenly wanted to scream up to the sky, what about the female general, who was also rubbed into soft fingers by him, willing to shed tears for him!
After running all the way, the Liao army who was besieging Zhou General finally appeared in front, and King Gong took the lead to draw out his long sword and shouted loudly: "All generals obey the order, whoever rescues the old general with this king, this king will reward each person 22 taels! "
Before the voice fell, the couple had already taken the lead in rushing into the Liao Army!
In the center of the Liao Army, the general Yeluxiong was fighting with Li Jizong. Heroes cherished heroes. After Li Jizong's 30,000 soldiers were almost dead, Li Jizong did not allow other Liao soldiers to attack Li Jizong. In the heat of the battle, Yeluxiong's eyes flashed when he heard King Gong's voice, "This king", he suddenly gave up on Li Jizong and turned around in the direction of King Gong. If Prince Da Zhou was captured alive, Da Liao would be able to humiliate the old bandit Xuande.
How could Li Jizong not see Yeluxiong's mind? He immediately chased after Yeluxiong to stop Yeluxiong, but Liao soldiers swarmed in. No matter how fast Li Jizong killed, he couldn't match Yeluxiong's speed.
"Mulan, escort the prince away, don't worry about me!" Li Jizong shouted in a hurry.
Both King Gong and Li Mulan heard it. Li Mulan pierced the throat of the Liao soldiers with a shot and turned to look at King Gong. King Gong was surrounded by Liao soldiers and had no time to look at her, so she only said firmly, "Let's go together!"
The husband and wife are of the same mind, so there is no need to hesitate. Although the thousand elite soldiers on the day of the week were unable to kill the Liao army, they finally made a bloody path with their passion. It was only after Li Jizong and King Gong and his wife reunited, Yeluxiong also chased after him. The knife went straight to King Gong, but was blocked by Li Jizong. After such a entanglement, the three ran a distance and were immediately surrounded by the Liao army.
"You go first!" Li Jizong ordered again.
King Gong and Li Mulan were very ambitious at first, but now they don't want to talk about it anymore.
Yeluxiong stared at King Gong, Li Jizong wanted to protect King Gong, so it was inevitable that he was distracted. , Yeluxiong turned abruptly in the direction, and swung his knife towards Li Mulan, who had retreated to his side because he was avoiding the Liao general!
"Mulan!" Li Jizong was horrified and roared in a heart-wrenching voice. Before his voice fell, a figure rushed behind Li Mulan like a gust of wind. Li Mulan turned around in horror, accompanied by a familiar scream, a column of blood sprayed head-on. Her face, warm, hit her face, and then slowly ran down, so clear, like snakes crawling on her face.
There was a brief blank in her mind, but the shouting of killing instantly pulled her back to her senses. Li Mulan lowered her head and saw her man lying on the ground in a daze, with her left hand covering her broken arm, her eyes tightly closed in pain, her teeth biting her lip. A Liao spear stabbed at her side. The spear in Li Mulan's hand moved ahead of her brain and flew away the opponent's weapon with one shot. She immediately dismounted and bandaged Prince Gong under the protection of Da Zhou soldiers and Li Jizong.
Prince Gong gritted his teeth and endured it, sweat dripping from his forehead in pain, but he kept staring at her.
Li Mulan's face was pale but calm, with only two lines of clear tears, revealing her distress.
"If I can't go back, in the next life, we'll be husband and wife again." The moment she was lifted up, King Gong hugged her waist with one hand and whispered into her ear.
"Shut up." Li Mulan helped him onto the horse with a cold face. King Gong broke his right arm, and anyone under the horse would surely die. If he rode on a horse and held the reins in his left hand, he would not be able to counterattack and kill the enemy. Therefore, Li Mulan rolled over and sat behind King Gong and ordered King Gong to ride the horse.
"Walk!"
While resisting Yeluxiong, Li Jizong yelled at his granddaughter with red eyes: "You go first, I will break! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave!"
Prince Gong insisted on retreating together, Li Mulan looked at the white cloth whose wound was red with blood, her eyes fixed, and finally rushed forward.
Yeluxiong wanted to chase, but Li Jizong stopped him head-on, and just as Li Jizong blocked the big sword in Yeluxiong's hands, several spears stabbed into his heart at the same time behind the veteran!
…
The next morning, the battle report of the West Route Army reached the capital. In the battle of Chenjiagu, King Gong broke his arm, and the veteran Li Jizong died. In this battle, the two armies lost more than 30,000 each, and it was considered a draw.
"Peace the ancestors of the Wang family!" After reading the battle report, Emperor Xuande threw the memorial to the court, beating his chest and crying bitterly: "I lost the emperor, like an eagle lost its wings! And my Yuan Jun, he is only twenty-one!"
Emperor Xuande survived a total of four sons. The third child stutters, but he still has regrets after all. The second and fourth are his only healthy sons, and the fourth is the youngest. Emperor Xuande already prefers it, but the dignified military commander loses his arm. Can Emperor Xuande not regret it
The emperor cried and cried, and all the ministers were silent.
Under the main hall, Prince Rui lowered his head and wiped away his tears, covering his sleeves, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes. The eldest brother was abolished from the throne, and he became the longest prince in the dynasty, but the fourth child has always been favored by the father and emperor. Well now, the fourth child is basically useless, and the prince is already in his pocket.
Behind Prince Rui, Zhao Heng didn't feel bad for his half-brother, but only worried about two things, one was the war situation, and the other was the princess who was expecting to give birth at home.
She has always been close to Princess Gong, and King Gong broke his arm... Let's hide it for the time being.
