Xiao Si pulled out the long knife at his waist, the cold blade shone with dazzling light in the sun, and the blade vibrated slightly in the air...
Langma's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, as if she was in an ice cellar, her body could not help but tremble slightly.
This young man who doesn't know his identity is really going to kill himself? !
Guan Yubai said calmly from the side: "Langma, why do you think the son wants to keep you until today?"
What's the meaning? !
Lang Ma's heart trembled, and all the officers and men turned their gazes to Guan Yubai, and suddenly understood in their hearts: with the son's temperament and way of dealing with people, it seems... it is indeed the son's style!
"Nanliang invaded my territory and killed my people. The wolf's ambition can be punished. How can your mere life be worth the lives of my thousands of soldiers and people in Dayu! Ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for your sins. Stay You are for today, for this moment... "
After a pause, Guan Yubai slowly said eight words—
"Sacrifice my military flag! Sacrifice my heroic soul!"
While Guan Yubai was speaking, the long knife in Xiao Si's hand was already raised high towards the sun, and then he swung the knife down mercilessly...
Time seemed to freeze in an instant.
Everyone stared at this scene without blinking, from the Dayu soldiers on the city wall to the Nanliang army outside the city wall!
The ups and downs of the knife are just a snap of the fingers.
Nourishing—
The fiery red blood spewed out rapidly and splashed on the city wall, Xiao Si's face and clothes, but Xiao Si didn't care, and inserted the long knife back into the scabbard neatly, his expression from beginning to end They were all so indifferent, as if what he killed was not a person, but a beast.
Lang Ma's head fell on the city wall with a bang, her eyes protruded until she died, as if she couldn't believe how she ended up like this.
Once again, the city wall fell into silence.
Suddenly, I don't know who was the first to shout out: "Sacrifice my military flag! Sacrifice my heroic soul!"
The voice seemed to roar from the bottom of his heart, and the hearts of all the soldiers on the city wall were shocked.
The next moment, everyone on the city wall shouted in unison:
"Sacrifice my military flag! Sacrifice my heroic soul!"
It was as if a stone fell into the water, causing ripples. More and more soldiers shouted the same slogan together. Thousands of voices on the city wall and behind the city gate left without a call. To the same step.
The voices overlapped neatly, and the sound shook the sky.
All the soldiers were full of enthusiasm and emotions, and the whole Yanding City boiled like a pot of boiling hot water...
The people in Yanding City were furious, while the Nanliang Army outside Yanding City fell into a huge commotion.
As early as when Nine King Langma was put on the city wall, General Yalongge of Nanliang recognized him through clairvoyance.
Langma has a noble status and is the direct brother of King Nanliang and the Five Kings.
Naturally, Yalongge didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly sent his own soldiers to inform the five kings in the rear camp.
Who would have thought that the guards had just been dispatched, and in the next moment, there was a change on the city wall, and the commander of the Southern Border Army ordered to kill the Nine Kings.
It was only a blink of an eye when the long knife fell, and Yalongge couldn't believe his eyes, let alone react in time.
His original thought was the same as that of the Nine Kings, thinking that Yan Dingcheng wanted to use the Nine Kings as a bargaining chip to negotiate with them in Nanliang, but he didn't want the other party to kill the Nine Kings without giving them a chance to respond!
The soldiers beside Ya Longge murmured: "The Nine Kings are dead... General, the Southern Border Army actually killed the Nine Kings? Could this be the order of Marquis An Yi?"
Xiao Yi led the army to march, and now the city is in charge of An Yi Hou Guan Yubai. These things have long been passed on to Dengli City by spies from Yanding City, and it is not a secret among the Nanliang Army.
Yalongge's brows were tightly locked. Although he didn't speak, he also agreed with what the soldiers said. Zhennan Wang Shizi is not here, who else in Yanding City would dare to order the killing of the Nine Kings except that Marquis An Yi!
All of a sudden, Yalongge's mind was extremely complicated, this An Yihou was so simple and sloppy in the world, he was really not a good general!
For his Nanliang Army, this seemed to be good news, but the Nine Kings died, and it was at this juncture. It was hard to guarantee that the King would not be angry with him because of this in the future, and even felt that he deliberately refused to save the Nine Kings …
The army has become a mess, and the soldiers are all whispering to each other.
The siege has not yet begun, and the morale of the army is already slackened, which is really an ominous sign.
However, at this time, it is even more impossible to flee without a fight.
If the Southern Border Army didn't talk about peace or make an announcement, they would kill the noble Nine Kings of Nanliang with one blow. If Nanliang didn't show something, wouldn't it make Southern Border and other countries think that they were afraid of the Southern Border Army!
Moreover, a person cannot be resurrected after death, and now he can only make it up with merit!
"Go and report to the Five Kings!"
Yalongge ordered the soldiers in a deep voice, and said to himself in his heart, don't worry. Yanding City is now the turtle in the urn, as long as he fights steadily and reorganizes the army, it will not be too late!
"Yes, General."
The soldiers held their fists to accept the order, and at this moment, there was a commotion in front, a soldier in armor hurried over, presented a token respectfully and said: "General, the man is back."
This is a token made of copper. In addition to some decorative patterns, several Nanliang characters twisted like tadpoles are engraved on the token.
Yalongge's expression straightened, and he thought, "Finally back!"
Earlier, when he saw the firework signal lit in Yanding City, he knew the mission was successful!
In Yanding City, besides Baullah, there are several elites lurking. They are carrying an extremely important mission. Even I was informed by the commander-in-chief before this expedition.
Once this task is completed, fireworks will be used as a signal in Yanding City, and the rest of the city will immediately set fire to create chaos in Yanding City after seeing the signal. Now that the wells in the west of the city have been blocked, if you want to put out the fire, you have to get water from the wells outside the city. Taking advantage of the chaos, you can secretly bring out the Zhennan king and princess.
And he only needs to take the opportunity to send someone to respond.
Now that this person is back, it means that everything is going as planned - with Zhennan Wang Shizi and Concubine in hand, He Chouyan will not be able to attack the city!
This is the biggest good news today!
Furthermore...
Ya Longge narrowed his eyes slightly, and thinking about it, maybe the death of the Nine Kings was a good thing for this battle. The Nanjiang Army no longer had any hostages in their hands, but they had a very important bargaining chip in their Nanliang hands.
Thinking about it, Yalong Ge's eyes glowed with eagerness, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Call someone here!"
After a while, a simple gray-covered carriage drove over slowly under the guidance of two soldiers. The driver was a dark-skinned man with a beard. He was wearing a black bunt and his hair was combed casually. A bun, with a few strands of hair hanging down messily around the ears, it looks a little rough.
The man in black jumped out of the carriage neatly, and simply gave Yalong Ge a military salute.
It is impossible for Yalongge to recognize all the spies one by one. With the badge as the basis for his identity, he did not doubt it. He just glanced at it casually, and his burning eyes fell on the carriage impatiently, and asked, "King of Zhennan?" Is the Crown Princess inside?"
The man in black opened a corner of the curtain slightly, and Yalongge looked into the carriage, and saw two young women lying on the carpet inside, one was dressed in green clothes like a maid, the other was wearing a rose red beanie, combing her hair. The hairstyle of Mrs. Dayu must be that of Zhennan Prince's concubine.
Ya Longge couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, first he asked his own soldiers to send a letter to the five kings, and then said: "You come with this general, this general will take you to see the five kings!"
He was so excited that he didn't notice a strange light flashed under the half-closed eyelids of the man in black when he heard the five kings.
Next, with Ya Longge leading the way and escorted by a few personal soldiers, the carriage went all the way to the rear. Wherever it passed, the densely packed soldiers of the Nanliang Army automatically split into two halves to make way for them. .
After walking more than a hundred feet in this way, you can see a huge tent has been set up in an open space in the small woods in front of you. Outside the tent, there are densely packed Nanliang soldiers with cold faces, saying It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten steps and one post.
If he wanted to see the five kings, the main general of this army, he had to go through layers of guards to verify his token and identity repeatedly, but Yalong Ge was an exception, and everyone here didn't know his identity.
After the soldiers saluted him respectfully, they let the group of them go, including the gray-covered carriage naturally.
It wasn't until outside the camp that the carriage stopped...
After a while, the group of them entered the heavily guarded camp. The man in black was roughly carrying the woman in the pink dress on his right shoulder.
In the middle was a big chair covered with python skin. Sitting on the chair was a man in his thirties. He had wheat-colored skin, a short beard, deep and handsome eyebrows, and Jiuwang Langma between them. There are four or five points similar, except that a pair of eyes are red, filled with grief and indignation.
This person is the Five Kings of Nanliang.
Two heavy news came in a row, one bad and one good, so that the five kings were placed in the ice cellar for a while, and for a while it seemed that the surrounding spring was blooming, full of sorrow and joy.
Because Ikaluo failed to take down Nanjiang for a long time, and even lost several cities in a row, and the Nine Kings were captured by Nanjiang again, the King of Nanliang was furious. So the five kings asked Nanliang King to come to Dengli City. He even personally led troops to attack the city, only hoping to save the Nine Kings and capture Yanding City to vent their anger for the Nine Kings.
Unexpectedly, just after the army arrived in Yanding City, he received the news of the death of the Nine Kings.
Thinking, the five kings clenched their fists tightly. Although he has many brothers, only the king and the ninth brother are his biological brothers. Since childhood, both he and the king have loved the ninth brother. There is a plus, but I don't want my younger brother to die in a foreign land!
Hateful people from southern Xinjiang!
eye for eye!
He must wash Yanding City with blood, and make the entire city pay for his younger brother's life!
The five kings' eyes burst out with hatred, and the eyes were almost crazy.
Ya Longge looked down, not daring to look directly at the five kings, and knelt down on one knee: "See the five kings."
The man in black behind him threw the woman on his right shoulder to the ground, then knelt down on one knee to salute.
The five kings waved their hands casually, gesturing for them to be excused, fixed their eyes on the woman who fell to the ground in embarrassment, stood up from the chair, walked over slowly, and said, "This is the king of Zhennan." Crown Princess?"
The man in black still stood respectfully with his head bowed, without looking sideways, and replied respectfully, "Exactly."
The five kings stared at the woman's fair and round face, with a cold arc drawn at the corner of their mouth, and said with a palm: "Okay! Okay! I have written down your credit!" With Zhennan Wang Shizi in hand, Nanjiang The army and Zhennan Prince Xiao Yi had to be controlled by them in Nanliang, not only Yanding City, but also Yongjia City and Huiling City are all within easy reach!
The five kings kicked the woman on the ground contemptuously, and the scene of hanging their Nanliang army flags in the cities of southern Xinjiang seemed to have appeared in his mind.
"Yalongge!" the five kings ordered resolutely, "immediately suppress..."
Halfway through his speech, he saw the unconscious woman on the ground jump up suddenly, with a silver cold light aimed at his heart. The five kings are also battle-tested people, so they turned sideways to avoid the past very quickly.
His face was extremely ugly.
Oops, they fell for it.
The five kings had good luck, but Yalongge didn't have such good luck. The man in black was standing behind Yalongge. The ground fell down, and I didn't know what was going on until I died!
The man in black looked at the five kings with a smile, and tore off the beard on his face, revealing a young and handsome face.
In an instant, the five kings figured out the ins and outs, not only Bao Lahe was exposed, but also all their arrangements in Yanding City were exposed, so they did not welcome Zhennan Wang Shizifei, but let the Southern Border Army There is an opportunity to take advantage of!
The five kings resented Yalongge for being careless and not carefully confirming the identity of the spy, but now that Yalongge was dead, even if he wanted to punish him, it would be useless...
"Come… "
The five kings dodged in embarrassment, wanting to call someone, but after uttering one syllable, there was no chance to continue speaking...
But in the blink of an eye, there were two cold corpses in the tent.
Two figures who could shock tens of thousands of Nanliang troops just left this world quietly.
The woman in the rose red dress let out a long sigh of relief, finally recovering from the tension.
Assassination is all about hitting with one blow. Just now, if she failed with one blow, the chance of success dropped by 30 to 40%... Luckily! Fortunately, she still killed the five kings within three moves.
Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using them for a while, she finally didn't embarrass the hidden guards of Bixiao Hall!
The woman quickly took off the outer rose-red beanie, revealing the black dress she was wearing inside, and then circled her thumb and index finger, intending to send a signal to another hidden guard in the carriage outside as planned, but was caught by Si Lin. I stopped it.
He smiled with his eyes bent, and showed a bright smile to the woman, and picked up a horn-shaped thing from Wu Wang's desk.
When the woman saw it, her brows twitched, and she recognized it. That was clearly a horn.
She probably guessed what the other party wanted to do... Although she felt that the other party was a bit boring, but the superior ordered her to follow Si Lin's orders for this task, so she silently let the other party go.
buzz—
The low sound of the horn was blown, majestic, solemn, vigorous, and revealing a faint sadness.
The sound of this horn horn is very special, low, but extremely penetrating, echoing continuously in the forest. The surrounding Nanliang soldiers all pricked up their ears. To foreigners, this may be just an ordinary horn sound, but to them Nanliang people, this sound is special.
This kind of horn horn sound is unique to them in Nanliang. There is a tradition in Nanliang. Only when a respected elder in the family dies, or when a noble person dies, will this mournful horn sound be blown to express My condolences.
When the two soldiers guarding the five kings outside the camp heard it, they couldn't help but look at each other. The first instinct was that the five kings were remembering their younger brother, the nine kings Langma.
The two soldiers hesitated, one of them opened a corner of the curtain and bowed in, but he didn't think that the situation in the camp was completely beyond his imagination.
Playing the ox horn is a man who looks unfamiliar at first glance but seems familiar. The man is leisurely and carefree. The moment he saw him, he even blinked at him.
At his feet, the corpses of two generals were lying on the carpet in the camp. The hideous expressions, twisted limbs and blood that almost stained most of the carpet were shocking.
The soldier's eyes widened in disbelief, and he was about to call, but he didn't even utter a syllable. With a "click", his neck tilted to one side, and he fell to the ground...
The sound of the horn remained unchanged, and the sorrow was long, which also covered up the changes in the camp.
Another soldier outside frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and was hesitating whether to ask someone to come and accompany him to have a look, but he heard the sound of horns in the distance, the same tune, the same majestic and solemn , seems to be telling a sad story.
This time, it seemed that hundreds, even thousands of horns sounded together...
what happened? !
Where did the sound of the horn come from? The entire Nanliang army heard it, and it immediately became commotion, and then the guard heard a voice that almost knocked the roof off:
"Come here! The five kings have been assassinated!"
"Come on! Come on! The five kings have been assassinated!"
The voice sounded very strange, and the soldier felt that something was wrong, but the next moment, he was dragged into the tent by someone around his neck...
After a while, two men in the costumes of the Five Kings' personal soldiers came out of the tent, shouting at the top of their voices: "The Five Kings and General Yalongge were assassinated!"
With the mournful sound of the horn, this news spread throughout the Nanliang army in the blink of an eye at an unbelievable speed.
In the chaos, they seemed to hear rumbling footsteps coming from behind. As the footsteps got closer, the horn sounded louder and louder. Are they surrounded? !
The endless sound of horns and the sound of footsteps blended together to form a tragic and desperate ensemble. The hearts of tens of thousands of Nanliang soldiers sank, as if falling into a bottomless abyss...
Billowing thick smoke suddenly rose from the southwest, and the black smoke filled the sky layer by layer, entrenched in the sky like dark clouds.
That direction is...
Most of the Nanliang soldiers quickly thought of something, and followed, as if to test their thoughts, a panicked shout came from behind: "It's not good, the food and grass have been burned!"
"Come and put out the fire!"
"..."
It's the Southern Border Army!
It's the southern Xinjiang army attacking the camp!
But why did the Southern Border Army approach them so quietly, like ghosts? ... and how did the five kings die
All these piles and every piece of this incident have a strong sense of ominousness, and more and more soldiers have begun to feel resigned.
But they couldn't allow them to escape, and bursts of piercing sounds came:
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Large and small stones formed a dense rain of stones and hit them suddenly like a summer rainstorm. Before the soldiers had time to support their shields, those stones had already been smashed down densely, hitting the soldiers' armor and torso mercilessly. The sound of impacts was one after another, intertwined with the screams of the soldiers. In the blink of an eye, there was a strong smell of blood all around, and corpses were everywhere...
The horns whirled endlessly, as if mourning the deaths of these poor soldiers...
Not far away, on the wall of Yanding City, all the soldiers of course also heard the sound of the horn resounding four or five miles around, and also saw the thick smoke slowly rising. Some people didn't understand why, they looked at each other and whispered to each other, guessing what happened in the Nanliang army.
Guan Yubai stood gracefully and calmly on the city wall, his moon-white robe rustling in the wind.
Only Li Shoubei, General Zheng and several other veterans knew about the whole plan. At this moment, they immediately understood what it meant, and all of them were overjoyed.
It's done!
The commander of Nanliang has been removed, and the 20,000 Nanliang soldiers in front of them are leaderless, and their morale is in turmoil, but there is not a single soldier of Feinanjiang Army!
Everything, all from one person—
The official language is white!
