There is a word circulating in the military recently, Phoenix Nirvana, which refers to Ye Huaiyang.
The dark clouds were over the top, the soldiers were coming under the city, and the change of the state of Chu was imminent, so the rumors became more and more clamorous, saying that Chu Jinglan was originally a real dragon who entered the world, and his first wife was naturally a phoenix, and he could be resurrected from death. He jumped off the platform and returned unharmed.
No one thought that Ye Huaiyang had already arranged a way back and put Chu Sanghuai together, and no one knew that Chu Jinglan let the rumors spread, and he deliberately rushed before others demonized Ye Huaiyang. Replaced it with the image of auspiciousness, so as to protect her from being disturbed.
However, this can only be regarded as a small matter as big as a grain of sesame and rice, and more importantly, the combined forces of Beidi and Guanzhong will start to siege the city within a few days.
In the Battle of Bailing Pass, the Wang army was almost dead and wounded, and most of the survivors surrendered. Only a mere 50,000 people fled back to the capital. Although they were still stubbornly resisting, they were nothing to be afraid of. The people of the capital were afraid of being affected by the war, and Zhenri hid at home and did not dare to go out. Some court officials were still persuading Chu Sang Huainan to go to Luocheng, and some had clearly supported Chu Jinglan. peaceful.
Finally, under the joint planning of Chu Jinglan, Chu Zhenghe, Ye Huaili and others, the coalition forces prepared to make a surprise attack tonight.
The twilight is dark, the sky and the earth are empty, and the snow and frost have not yet melted away, and they are shining brightly under the dim candlelight. At this time, it was nearly midnight. The handsome tent standing in the center of the camp was brightly lit. Ye Huaiyang, who should have gone to sleep, was still arranging the armor for Chu Jinglan.
"I heard that Wang Jun put on poisoned arrows a few days ago. Seeing blood seals his throat, you must be careful."
"understood."
He has always been so concise, and Ye Huaiyang has long been used to it, but at this time, her heart was beating suddenly, as if it was about to pop out of her throat. He said to himself, "I don't know if Lu Heng has any antidote? I'll ask him, and if there are any, I'll bring two to my eldest brother."
After she finished speaking, she let go of the hand that was tying the buttons, turned around and was about to go out, Chu Jinglan quickly pulled her back into her arms, half amused and half helpless: "You all know that blood has sealed your throat. , how can there be an antidote?"
"Then, that can't be carried away..."
Her tongue was starting to knot, and she was obviously extremely worried. Seeing this, Chu Jinglan held her in his arms and patiently comforted her: "Your husband and eldest brother are not fools, so naturally they wouldn't just rush up with poisoned arrows. Everything has been deployed, you can rest assured and go to sleep, and we will be back when it is dawn."
Ye Huaiyang was coaxed by him and pushed to the edge of the couch. When he was about to sit down, the one in his stomach started to move again. Chu Jinglan knew that the child was making trouble for her when she saw her frowning, so she moved more and more quickly. Then she took off her coat and put on the quilt.
"Okay, close your eyes."
No wonder he was so nervous. Ye Huaiyang's pregnancy was already unstable, and he couldn't feel at ease even if she couldn't fall asleep, so he turned around and sat down again, his hard armor against the edge of the bed. , making a soft sound.
Ye Huaiyang came out of the bed, stared at him with watery eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "I'm too worried, you and eldest brother are both experienced people, this little battle counts. What? Go, my baby and I are going to sleep now."
Chu Jinglan kissed her forehead, her eyes lit up like a sky that was about to break.
"Wait for my triumph."
Ye Huaiyang deliberately puffed out her stomach and said, "I wish Father Wang a victory!"
Chu Jinglan smiled, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to be cracked with tiny stars, which were dazzling and dazzling. I saw him lovingly touched her stomach, turned around and blew out the fire candle, then picked up the long sword and left, she looked at the tent. The thick shadow that passed by, An Ran closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The sky was getting darker and darker, like ink being poured on rice paper. It was so dark that the original color could not be seen. Under this natural barrier, the army set off silently.
The towering city walls of the royal capital were also patrolled by heavy troops, which seemed to be in full order and in good order, but the hearts of the people were already scattered, so when the coalition attacked, many people thought it was a feint attack, and they didn't realize that something was wrong until the deafening explosion sounded. Fasten the belt and carry the knife to the city gate.
Some soldiers were used to being lazy, and while moving slowly, they complained: "Would you like to fight in the daytime? It's really disturbing your dreams in the middle of the night!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly slapped with an elbow, and he rubbed the back of his head with a bared mouth. Just as he was about to look back to see which bastard attacked him, the battalion commander's panicked roar burst into his ears.
"The coalition is coming!"
Shouting and shouting, even the patrolmen did not find out which city gate the coalition was attacking from. There were all kinds of voices in their ears, but no one was seen. King Tao immediately dispatched more soldiers to the east gate, and when he heard the sound of gold in the west, his mind seemed to explode, as if he was besieged on all sides.
Finally, when the dense fire arrows illuminated half of the city wall, he finally found the trace of the Chuzheng River in the west, but it didn't take long for another soldier to report that a large collision vehicle appeared in the east, and was attacking the city gate. While they were in a hurry, a large army led by Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaili appeared at the main entrance to the north.
King Tao ordered the arrows to be released, and the poisonous arrows came to him in an instant, only to hear Chu Jinglan shouting loudly, the coalition soldiers immediately erected a shield wall to block this wave of offensive, King Tao did not give up and just wanted to shoot. The two of them thus achieved the goal of disintegrating the coalition army, and launched a continuous offensive, which was of little effect. It was at this moment that news came from the west that Chu Zhenghe had broken through the city gate.
It turned out that they were deliberately trying to attract firepower.
The blood-stained lieutenant hurried over to persuade him, "Your Highness, we can't hold back anymore, let's retreat to the inner imperial city!"
King Tao threw him away, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Catch the thief first, capture the king, whoever takes the head of the rebel Chu Jinglan, this king will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers who had rushed to Ximen to prevent Chu Zhenghe from entering the city all turned their guns and pointed at Chu Jinglan. Ximen suddenly rushed into a large number of coalition troops. Chu Zhenghe was very brave and good at fighting, and led them all the way in. In the center, blood flowed into rivers everywhere, and screams were heard one after another. Soon, with his support, the East Gate was broken. Meng Xuan took a powerful mechanism to rampage in the city, crushing countless king troops into pieces.
Because they had to take care of the people and the enemy army was besieging them with all their strength, the two were temporarily held back, and Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaili, who were at the north gate, had only shield soldiers and no attack ability, so the north gate was delayed. Not broken.
The rain of arrows on the city wall did not stop, and they all aimed at Chu Jinglan. The shield wall gradually became a little harder. Suddenly, a poisonous arrow flew over from an extremely tricky angle and plunged straight into Chu Jinglan's heart. Ye Huaili's complexion changed greatly. Just as he was about to raise his sword to block it, Chu Jinglan suddenly raised his hand and fixed the arrow firmly in the air, then drew the bow back with lightning speed, and aimed at King Tao. !
The dark green light swept across the icy city wall, and the sound of the arrows scraping the skin was too small to be noticed by the slaughter of thousands of troops. However, the next moment, the head coach collapsed and shocked everyone.
King Tao was paralyzed on the ground, twitching, and he vomited blood like a spring. When he reached his wrist, the poison had spread to his whole body. Even the Golden Immortals of Great Luo could not be saved. The army's heart was in chaos, and they scattered and fled. Chu Zhenghe and Meng Xuan broke through the north gate in one go, and joined the team of Chu Jinglan and Ye Huaili.
After a night of fierce battles, the entire capital was broken.
The beacon fire and wolf smoke were still wafting in the air, and Dongfang had already revealed a fish belly white. Chu Jinglan stood expressionlessly among the broken walls, glanced around, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order and invades the inner imperial city! "
It was too late, but it was too fast. A large black-pressed coalition army rolled into the inner imperial city like a tide. The palace gate was smashed into pieces under the impact of waves, and the remaining Wang army was also captured. The last line of defense to the Golden Palace fell like this, and there was no obstacle in the middle.
Chu Sanghuai's situation is over.
The palaces have been bathed in the early blooming morning light, and the scattered eaves are dyed with golden makeup. It was originally a vibrant day, but it could not cover the dead atmosphere from the inside to the outside, which was so quiet. panic.
Chu Jinglan put his sword into the sheath, and his stern voice echoed in the entire front court: "All the soldiers are divided into two groups, and every corner of the palace gate and inner court is blocked for this king, and no one is allowed to go out!"
"Yes!"
All the officers and soldiers responded in unison, the momentum was so great that even the blue bricks under their feet were shocked. Then Meng Xuan and Chu Zhenghe were about to lead the troops and set off. Chu Jinglan blocked Chu Zhenghe with his arms and spit out a few words coldly. Words: "Don't let him die."
Chu Zhenghe understood, with a cold smile on his face.
"Don't worry, isn't it cheap for him to die so soon?"
After he finished speaking, he rode his horse into the inner court. Even though he fought bloody for so long, his spirit did not diminish at all. After his figure disappeared at the end, Chu Jinglan turned around and walked outside the palace. Ye Huai was confused. Li hurriedly stopped him.
"You're not going in?"
Chu Jinglan glanced at him and said, "Guan Zhongjun stays here to count the prisoners, you follow me."
It's all here, he just keeps Chu Sanghuai's life, and he doesn't summon the ministers to prepare for the throne, but he has to go out. What does this mean
"Where?"
Chu Jinglan threw a horsewhip without looking back, Ye Huaili was able to catch it, and then heard him say: "I promised Yang'er Tianliang to go back with you, it's too late now, hurry up."
Hmm... The time to break through the North Gate was a little later than expected...
Ye Huaili thought about this, and a certain tendon in his mind was inadvertently pulled straight. He suddenly woke up, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly - just because he was in a hurry to go back to see Yang'er, he gave up the throne and the soldiers of the three armies at his fingertips. Are you here
Today is different from the past, so many pairs of eyes are staring at his every move. It's too easy to be talked about by others, and it might cause trouble for Yang'er.
Ye Huaili sighed and followed him on horseback.
