Zixiang Pass, the military camp of the Northern Dynasties.
General Li is discussing with all the generals that the Southern Dynasty army has enough food and grass, what should they do next. At this time, a soldier guarding the city rushed to report: "It's not good, General Li!"
General Li frowned and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
The soldier was out of breath, with a flustered expression, and said: "Return to the general, the Southern Dynasty... The Emperor of the Southern Dynasty personally led an army of 200,000 troops from Fuyun Pass to fight over, and they have already arrived outside the city gate!"
"What!" General Li's complexion changed drastically, and the other generals even stood up in panic, and asked, "Already outside the city gate? Why did you come to report now?"
The soldier quickly said: "Our spies were all killed along the way, so we didn't receive the news in advance."
A general turned his head to look at the current supreme commander in the army, General Li, and asked, "What should we do? Your Majesty is not here, should we go out of the city to fight?"
General Li frowned, and slammed his fists on the table, "General Zhao, General Wang, you two prepare your army quickly, and the rest of you, follow me to the city wall to have a look."
The city wall of Zixiang Pass is much higher and stronger than ordinary city walls. On the city wall, tens of thousands of people draw their bows and strings, and they only wait for an order, and all arrows are fired. General Li and others boarded the city wall and looked out.
I saw tens of zhang away from the city gate, the endless dust filled the air, and the iron armored lion could not be seen at a glance, its momentum was incomparably magnificent. Under the flying golden flag with the word "South" embroidered, one can see at a glance a man and a woman surrounded by the crowd, both with white hair. They sit on horseback, their bodies are straight, and the terrain is obviously lower than the city wall. They are much shorter, but the gaze they cast is not looking up, but the expression that seems to be standing on a high place that others cannot reach, looking down at the common people on the earth.
The sun shines through the dust and smoke, gathering a layer of golden light on them. The man's armor is shining brightly, exuding a natural kingly aura, and the woman's white clothes are dazzling like snow, sacred and inviolable, giving people a feeling that the gods descended to crusade against the mortal world. illusion. Their eyes were sharp, and they shot straight through the air over hundreds of thousands of people, making people unable to help but want to shudder.
General Li was shocked, "Sure enough, the Southern Emperor is here! Even Madam is here!"
A person behind him continued: "She is no longer Madam, she is the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty."
Another person sighed: "Your Majesty set up a harem for her, and when he heard that she was expelled from the Southern Dynasty, he hurried to Chenfeng Country to meet her—if His Majesty were here today, he would see her side by side with the Southern Emperor, and come to seize His Majesty's power." In your Majesty's heart, how should Chuan feel?" Everyone was silent, and after a while, someone asked worriedly: "General Li, in this battle, no one can say for sure whether there will be casualties or casualties.
General Li waved away all the complicated thoughts, and said decisively: "No matter who she is, since she is in the enemy camp, she is our enemy. As an enemy, there is no need to worry about it. Our responsibility is to defend our home and country. Others are not considered by this committee!"
Another person said: "I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight."
"If it's not easy to fight, you have to fight." General Li frowned, his face extremely dignified. He looked at the imposing Southern Army, and after a little thought, he said: "The Southern Army at Fuyun Pass has come out in full force. It seems that the Southern Emperor is here. This time, I have made up my mind to take Zixiang Pass, but we are not as good as they wished. This city wall is more than ten feet high and as strong as iron. As long as we go out of the city to fight, the Southern Emperor will never even think about stepping into this city. Come on, This is the order of the general: defend the city, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight without authorization, and those who violate the order will be punished by military law!"
"Yes." One person led the order to retreat.
"General Li, look, what is that? It looks like a carriage. Why did the Southern Emperor bring so many carriages to fight?" A general asked, pointing to the shining blue carriages on both sides of the Southern Dynasty army.
General Li looked over and saw something made of bronze pulled by three horses that didn't look like a chariot or a chariot pulling people. . He couldn't help but wonder, and his brows furrowed even tighter. At this time, those carriages emitting blue light suddenly moved, and they went straight to the front of the army like blue dragons from both sides of the army and joined together, forming a row in front of the army. There is a baffle in front of the carriage, the height of a person, with a solid bronze top, invulnerable to swords and guns. There is a very small round hole in the middle of the front, and there is a small window on the rear door. Looking from the outside, the inside is completely dark. No one knows whether there is a person or an object in the car. What are so many bronze carriages used for when they are pulled onto the battlefield? no one knows. They could only hear the sound of horseshoes and shafts, and the sound shook, and the ground seemed to tremble.
A general wondered: "I have fought for so many years, but I have never seen a chariot with a roof!
A counselor stroked his beard and pondered: "This chariot is a bit strange. It is made of bronze as a whole. It looks good and is sturdy, but the body is too heavy, and it can't run fast even with four horses. Why should they How about building such a chariot?"
Another person said: "What kind of chariot? There's not even a place for people to stand! I see, this is what they plan to use to escape when they can't be beaten. It's almost called an escape vehicle."
Another general waved his hand and said with disdain: "It doesn't matter what chariots or chariots. We don't go out of the city to fight, and they have no use for chariots. Let's just think they put it up for us to admire, and when the Southern Army is defeated , they fled, leaving behind these chariots, let's study them carefully."
In the camp of the Southern Army, Zongzheng Wuyou sat firmly on his horseback, with a deep complexion and indifferent and silly eyes, while Man Yao's expression was indifferent, no expression could be seen, his eyes were condensed and firm, and he had the determination to see the city wall The general of the enemy camp appeared, and the two of them looked at each other, and a tacit understanding without words flowed between them.
Before leaving, they agreed that she would be responsible for breaking the city and he would be responsible for breaking the enemy.
Zongzheng Wuyou turned his head and looked at the chariots lined up neatly in front of him, his eyes were deep, as if expecting something.
The Ninth Prince was dressed in silver armor and held a sword in his hand. He was proud on the horse's back. He changed his usual demeanor and looked very serious. He looked like a general. He looked up at the towering and impenetrable city wall, leaned over slightly, and asked in a suspicious voice, "Sister-in-law Qi, are you sure we can enter the city without ladders? It must be ten feet tall, this is a famous and difficult city gate!"
Man Yao turned to look at him, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you think such a high city wall can be reached with a ladder
Ninth Prince said: "That's better than nothing! Wuxiangzi, don't you think so?"
Wu Xiangzi was also dressed in silver armor, and the scar on his handsome face that reached to the bridge of his nose added a bit of stern aura to him under the murderous aura of the army. Hearing this, he turned his head and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty said that you don't need a ladder, so you definitely don't need it. I think, to deal with this iron wall, your Majesty must already have a plan in mind. Your lord, we should trust your Majesty and just wait for orders with peace of mind." Although he was suspicious and puzzled in his heart, he chose to believe in his empress, and even more so in the emperor. If it were another person, he would not listen to her arrangements when he didn't know anything. However, she was not someone else. She was the person the emperor trusted most in this world. That kind of mutual trust full of tacit understanding, It was him who spent his whole life, even if he gave his life for it, it could not be compared with it.
Zongzheng Wuyou glanced sideways, and glanced at the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince laughed dryly, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Seven, I don't believe you, I'm just curious, what is your secret weapon? Is it those carriages? But -, - why can't I see the use of this carriage? It can't fight, if this man sits in it, he can't even see the enemy, how can he fight?" He couldn't figure it out, and he still felt strange no matter how he looked at it. . However, Seventh Brother was so convinced of this that he didn't even ask.
Manyao smiled slightly, her eyes sparkled, and she said with a slightly mysterious smile: "You will know in a while whether it is useful or not!" She turned her head to look at Zongzheng Wuyou, and Zongzheng Wuyou stretched out his hand towards her , with deep eyes, implied expectation, "I'm waiting for you to surprise me." She put her hand into his palm, feeling his unconditional trust, and smiled, "I will definitely not let you down."
The Ninth Prince's eyes were bright, and he became more and more curious, so he said urgently: "Seventh Brother, let's attack the city quickly.
Zongzheng Wuyou glanced at Wuxiangzi, Wuxiangzi understood, and nodded to a thunder general beside him, the thunder general immediately drove forward, raised his spear horizontally, and shouted loudly: "The Northern Army Listen up! My emperor and sage: The Northern and Southern Dynasties were originally the rest of the country. Because of the rebellion by the rebels, the country was divided, and you indiscriminately helped the tyrant to abuse. You deserve to die, but remember that you have made military exploits in the past, we Huang Xicai, I can't bear to let you die here, and now I will give you a chance. As long as you hand over the captain surnamed Lu, and then open the city to surrender, my emperor has a broad mind and will not forget the past, and I will entrust you with important tasks in the future. Hope You can do it yourself. Now take one stick of incense as the time limit, if after one stick of incense, you are still stubborn, our army will attack the city immediately, and when the time comes, people will die, and the world will mourn together.!"
The Thunder General's voice was sonorous and powerful, generous and imposing, and the words revealed the emperor's kindness and power.
After hearing the words, the guards of Zixiang Pass all turned their heads to look at General Li, the commander in chief of the army. General Li frowned and looked left and right with disdain on his face. This is alarmist! We only recognize that I am a holy thief to His Majesty, and will not listen to anything else."
He flatly refused without any hesitation. The thunder general retreated, and secretly glanced at the two emperors and concubines, only to see that their expressions were as usual, without any change. For Zongzheng Wuyou and Manyao, General Li's refusal was within their expectations, and what they did was just a formality, to let the soldiers and people in Zixiangguan know that they were not brutal and bloodthirsty.
Man Yao squeezed the reins tightly with one hand, looking at the towering and majestic city wall in people's eyes, as well as the tens of thousands of strange and familiar faces on the city wall. These people had all witnessed her humiliation in that bloody cold palace, as if they were watching a theater. When she was on the verge of death, she once said in her heart that if she could survive, she would definitely make everyone pay the price. After a year, those hatreds gradually faded away in happiness, and it was Zhao Yun's pain that awakened the hatred buried in her heart.
Once the general is successful, the battle for the throne has been cruel and bloody since ancient times, let alone the battle for the world? Since she is standing beside him, she should abandon the benevolence of a woman, be ruthless, and help him avenge and achieve the emperor's hegemony. Gathering her thoughts, she looked coldly at General Li on the opposite wall, calling for the left and right generals to retreat, and raised her hand to the soldiers on the wall, "Fire the arrows!"
With one order, all arrows were fired.
The sharp arrows were like raindrops, dense and black, and they shot towards the southern army's head and cover. Each arrow was fierce and carried a death talisman. She looked at the fatal rain of arrows, curled her lips into a sneer, and a red lotus flower on her forehead set against her flying white hair, exuding a holy and coquettish light.
The black-clothed cavalry at the head of the southern army was about to raise their swords to block them, but at this moment, Xiao Sha behind the bronze chariot formation raised his hand at the chariot door, and shouted heavily: "Get up!"
The baffles of hundreds of chariots rose up in response to the sound, from a distance of one person's height to several feet high, just blocking the dense rain of arrows. Just listen to the sharp sound of "ding, ding, clang, clang" and the impact of iron and copper. In a blink of an eye, the chariot baffle turned into a strong shield, tens of thousands of arrows from the northern army passed by, and no southern army suffered any casualties.
General Li and others on the city wall were stunned for a moment, it turned out that the chariot was actually made by clever mechanisms. He raised his hand and yelled: "Stop." Going on like this is just a waste of arrows.
A general laughed loudly with disdain on his face, "It turns out that this car is not a chariot, it is used as a shield! I thought you were here to attack the city, but it turns out that you are here to tell us that you are very good at shrinking." Turtle! Hahaha. If you are capable, you keep hiding behind there and don’t come out. I want to see how you attack the city while hiding behind there?"
"Haha spider", several other generals also laughed, with disdain and contempt on their faces. General Li had a serious face, and there was such an ingenious mechanism on just a fender. No one knew what it was pretending to be. He was suddenly worried, whether this city, which he regarded as impregnable, could be preserved today
When some soldiers of the Southern Dynasty heard this remark, their hearts were filled with indignation, and their blood couldn't help rushing up. They clenched the spears in their hands, grasped the reins tightly, and waited for the order from the superior, and then rushed towards the enemy like an arrow leaving the string.
Zongzheng Wuyou's face was calm and deep, as if he had never heard it, his expression was calm, he just turned his head to look at her, Man Yao raised his lips slightly, sneered, watching Xiao Sha wave his hand at the carriage, and shouted in a deep voice: "Siege the city!" !"
