Blood.
He crossed the knife immediately, blocking the long and narrow exit, with firmness written on his round face.
"I only know that the king saved us slaves, so that we could learn Buddhism like him, let us eat and clothe ourselves, we no longer need to starve and freeze, and we don't need to worry about being dragged down and beaten to death for no reason... "
He slashed over a guard soldier with one knife.
"The king treats me like a human being."
Regardless of whether the king is a Buddhist or a monarch, he will not betray the king.
Feather arrows swish, all over his body.
Prajna fell down on horseback.
Bi Suo turned back, his eyes were splitting, and the pursuers chased after him. He didn't dare to stop, he urged his horse to gallop, rushed into the mountain canyon with Yuanjue, and clenched his fists at Jinbo.
"I didn't expect that the prince would come forward in times of crisis."
Jin Bo bowed back and said with a smile, "I'm the prince of Beirong, if it wasn't for the Buddha's forgiveness, how could I have lived to this day? And the Buddha's son saved me once before, so how could I see death if I owe the Buddha's son? No help!"
Bi Su sneered, Jin Bo was able to risk life and death for Luo Jia, but the people of the royal court abandoned him like a shoe.
He pulled out the dagger and gave it to Yuanjue: "You take the king to Gaochang, the family will not let the king go, only Princess Wenzhao can save the king."
Yuanjue choked up and took the dagger: "Where's the general?"
Bi Su put on a headscarf and covered her face with only one pair of eyes showing: "I'll go and hold them."
The sound of hooves getting closer and closer, everyone looked at each other with tears in their eyes, each clasped their fists, and hurriedly separated.
…
Yuanjue they escaped from the secret road in the back mountain, leaving the pursuers far behind.
As soon as they stepped out of the cliff, a large group of men and horses galloped in the snow. From a distance, it was like a black torrent surging, and the black flag was flying in the wind.
It is the right army stationed nearby.
Yuanjue and his group were dripping with cold sweat, and they firmly protected Tanmaraga in them.
A swift horse galloped out of the right army, ran in front of them, and said loudly: "Princess Chima and the minister of Chinese military affairs have already announced to the world that Sultan Gu is the son of a Han Chinese, and is not worthy of continuing to use the Tanmo family name, our general. I don't want to hurt you, so hurry up and leave!"
Yuanjue's heart was relieved, and then a little hope rose: "Can you give us a few horses?"
The visitor shook his head, bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow at the feet of Yuanjue's mount: "If we don't arrest you, we have done our best, so just leave! If you don't leave, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Yuanjue smiled sadly, turned around with the guards, and left in the other direction.
They passed through the White City, several manors, several tribes.
All these people have been favored by the king.
Everyone saw them and avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
"Come on, go! We won't take you in!"
They wanted to beg for some water and medicine for wounds, and those people closed the city gate, not allowing them to enter the city, and let them cry and cry outside the city gate. Some people chased them and wanted to tie them up and send them to the holy city for rewards.
Jin Bo said angrily: "The people of the royal court are the same as us Beirong people, don't be polite to them, just grab it!"
Yuanjue gave up and stopped begging for help from the towns he passed by. He asked Jinbo and the others to snatch anything he wanted.
The guard of Shacheng was transferred, and Yuanjue disguised as believers seeking medical treatment, sneaked into the city, and only after leaving Shacheng, they could go to Gaochang.
The city was crowded with people, and the atmosphere was depressed. The sides of the long street were crowded with people.
"what happened?"
Yuanjue to find someone to inquire.
"There's going to be a war!" A herdsman hurried over with his child in his arms. "Prince Aling of Haidu from Beirong has returned! With an army of 100,000! They want to pacify the royal court!"
Yuanjue shuddered and continued to inquire. After hearing this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that, a few days ago, the ministers in the court abolished Tanmaraga in the name of the former king, the former queen and the princess Chima, and established Bi Su as the king. They were afraid of the rebellion of the various armies, so they transferred all the generals back to the holy city and sent their henchmen to take over the army. The forces of the several parties soon had conflicts and frictions continued. , the army was in chaos.
When the surrounding small tribes heard that the royal court had established a new king, they established themselves one after another.
Beirong's Haidu, Aling, just borrowed a group of troops and was about to attack the Western Army. First, he grabbed a few important towns to inspire people. Unexpectedly, there was a civil strife in the royal court. By borrowing soldiers, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were assembled like this.
The gate to the east of the royal court was guarded by a large tribe. They heard that Tanmaraka was killed by the noble family, and they were grieved and indignant, so they opened the gate directly.
I heard that the army is now approaching the Holy City.
There was no leader in the group of dragons in the court, and even who would lead the troops would be arguing. The people of the royal court remembered the cruel methods of the Beirong massacre in the past, and they panicked, so they could only pack up and flee to the west.
Yuanjue's heart is full of mixed feelings.
As a royal family, he certainly did not want the holy city to be occupied by Beirong, but after experiencing the abolition of Tanmaraka, he now has no energy to worry about the people of the holy city.
He just wanted to send Tanmo Luojia to Gaochang, so that Luojia and Princess Wenzhao could be reunited.
"Hold the king, don't tell him about it."
Yuanjue told the guards.
These days, Tanmaraka wakes up from sleep, and when he wakes up, he will ask about the situation in the Holy City. They are afraid that he will be worried and lie to him that Bi Su has taken control of the court.
The guard replied in a deep voice and returned to the carriage.
Jinbo rode outside the car window and was talking to the people inside.
Yuanjue stepped forward and said, "I went to a silk and satin merchant to buy a document for leaving the city, so I can go to Gaochang."
One hand lifted the curtain of the car, and Tan Mo Luojia's voice sounded: "Where are the Northern Rong allied forces?"
Everyone stayed.
…
Royal Court, Holy City.
The Northern Rong Allied Forces are on the verge of breaking through, even conquering more than a dozen important towns, and the Holy City is in jeopardy.
The imperial court continued to issue edicts, and the nearby tribes dragged their feet and refused to come to the rescue: they only recognized Buddhist sons, and the edicts of others would not move them.
After the news of the defeat was reported from the front line again, the people of the holy city fled one after another. Just after they left the city, the dust was flying in front of them, and the frightening horn sounded. Flocking to the holy city in all directions, black flags fluttered in the wind, with a monstrous momentum.
The people lost their minds, turned around and ran back.
The Beirong coalition forces were not in a hurry to attack the city. They first stationed in place and dug fortifications. The people in the city comforted themselves: Maybe the Beirong people did not dare to attack the city.
The next day, the Beirong people beat the drums and began to attack the city.
The defenders of the Holy City did not expect the Beirong people to attack the city so quickly. They were in a hurry and rushed to the battle. They relied on the improved bows and ballistas of Tamaroka to repel the first wave of the coalition forces.
The Northern Rong Allied Army was not as neat as the Northern Rong Iron Cavalry Army, but their fighting method was more flexible. After a few days of being unable to attack, they brought out siege equipment and concentrated their forces to destroy the bows and ballistas on the top of the city.
Ten days later, the last bow | ballista in the holy city was completely unusable.
Everyone knew that the Northern Rong Allied Forces would slaughter the city. At that time, all men, women and children would not be able to escape the fate of being ravaged.
Under the city head, corpses piled up like a mountain.
On this day, before dawn, several battalions of the Northern Rong Allied Forces opened their camp gates, and the horns blew. The cavalry first rushed out of the camp in a neat line, and then the infantry lined up, tens of thousands of troops and horses lined up in formation. At the foot of the holy city, the sound of drums, horses' hooves, and the drumming of fierce soldiers pierced through clouds and cracks.
The Northern Rong Allied Forces are about to attack again.
The people in the city were terrified, crying and wiping tears.
On the top of the city, the soldiers of the royal court looked desperate.
Suddenly, a majestic eagle fell from the sky, and a huge goshawk swept across the battlefield.
The soldiers froze for a while, their eyes showing frenzy.
In the sky, there are faint black lines surging.
Someone shouted and burst into tears.
Under the rising sun, a flag with a snow-white gold pattern fluttered gently against the splendid morning light.
