Chapter 99: Baizhangyuan before Baizhangbing

Yun Cheng's speed was extremely fast, but for a moment, Qing Chen had caught up with the army ahead. Nangong Jing said: "Wang Hao, if you march at full speed, you can find your Highness and them before dawn."
Qing Chen ordered to stop advancing, thought a little, and said: "General Nangong, we are going to work separately here, you take half of the people to Yanliang."
"Go to Yanliang?"
"Yes, I will give you 15,000 people, two hours, and take down Yanliang City at all costs."
Nangong Jing immediately understood that even with the Xuanjia Army, these tens of thousands of them would be the same as attacking the stone with pebbles when facing the Turkic army. Although Yanliang is a small city in northern Xinjiang, it can be used as a barrier. As long as the Xuanjia Army has not been annihilated, the two sides will retreat to defend Yanliang, and they can resist for a while.
Nangong Jing stood up and dismounted, stroking his sword and kneeling: "Final will obey! I will take down Yan Liang before dawn!" Qing Chen's heart was slightly shaken. Nangong Jing gave her a military salute, which was a military order.
The two men and horses parted ways, Qing Chen and the others galloped north. The moonlight faded, and the sky slowly showed a dark blue color, indicating that dawn was coming. Passing a border city along the way, wherever it passed, there were broken tiles and ruins that were barren. Obviously, it had been war-torn and almost abandoned. It must be that the people who originally lived here either lost their lives or left their homes.
Passing through this city, Qing Chen was taken aback for a moment, and in front of him was a three-way intersection, leading to different directions. Xia Bufeng cursed impatiently beside him, and asked, "Wang Hao, which way to go?"
Qing Chen furrowed his eyebrows. The subordinates who accompanied Mingyi Tower were familiar with the terrain of Northern Xinjiang this time, but Mingzhi led them to follow Ye Tianling. At this time, none of them were by his side, and the life and death of the people sent by the Xuanjia Army was already unknown. , How can they find the Xuanjia Army? She had previously inferred that the Xuanjia army must have encountered a Turkic army on the way from Moyang to attack Yanliang. The biggest possibility is Baizhangyuan between the two counties, but which road can lead there? Her tight lips revealed anxiety, and she turned to look at Wei Changzheng, Shi Zhonghou and others: "Who knows the way to Baizhangyuan?"
Several people hesitated, Shi Zhonghou thought for a while, and the whip pointed forward: "If it's Baizhangyuan, maybe you should go here."
Qing Chen looked at the way forward, but hesitated for some reason: "How sure are you?"
Shi Zhonghou said, "I'm just guessing according to the direction."
Xia Bufeng said: "I can't stay here without leaving!"
Qing Chen gritted his teeth slightly: "Okay, just go over here!" With the reins carrying the horse to move forward, Yun Cheng suddenly hissed and raised his hoofs, unexpectedly a figure rushed forward.
Qing Chen was taken aback, and Wei Changzheng shouted: "Who is it!" Through the meager light of the sky, Qing Chen saw a ragged beggar standing in front of her horse, who had just leaned against the half-declining city wall. , Everyone hurried on the road, but didn't even see him.
The beggar seemed to be going to stop Qing Chen from going, stretched out his hand to pull her horse's rein, yelled "Woo" in his mouth, but turned out to be a dumb, unable to speak at all.
Qing Chen took a closer look when he raised his head, shocked in his heart. This person has a very ugly face, his entire head and face are almost full of scars, as if he had been poured down from the top of a bucket of boiling oil. There was no intact skin. One eye was blind, and the other half was open and looking straight at her. , Kept shaking his head and waving his hands.
Wei Changzheng guarded Qing Chen and said: "Bold! How dare you disturb the princess!" He wanted to clear the way.
Seeing that the beggar always shook his finger towards the intersection, Qing Chen thought: "Long March, don't hurt him!" She asked the beggar, "Do you have something to tell me?"
The beggar nodded, pointed at the way they were going before, and then pointed at another way.
Qing Chen asked: "Are you a citizen of this city? Do you recognize the way to Baizhangyuan?"
The beggar nodded hurriedly, said "Woo Oh" unclearly, and kept pointing to another way.
Qing Chen asked again: "Does it lead to Baizhangyuan over there?"
The beggar nodded desperately, and Xia Bufeng said impatiently, "Where did a beggar pop up? The princess must not talk to him, it's important to hurry!"
Shi Zhonghou also said: "This person behaves strangely, I am afraid it is not credible, the princess is cautious."
It was extremely difficult for Qing Chen to make a decision, but felt that the beggar appeared strangely. At this moment, the beggar suddenly took a few steps forward, and made a gesture in the face of Wei Changzheng. Wei Changzheng hadn't responded yet, but Qing Chen was surprised.
She once saw Ye Tianling do this gesture. It was a secret memory Ye Tianling used in the army when he was young. It has been abandoned for many years. Only people like Wei Changzheng who have followed him since childhood know that, even Xia Bufeng , Shi Zhonghou and others have never seen it. In his spare time, Qing Chen always liked Yang Ye Tianling to talk about his trivial matters in the army, and because he found it fun, he learned this gesture. At this time, she could not be sure whether the previous path was correct, nor could she tell whether the beggar was credible, only a kind of intuition was coiling in her heart-when reason and reality could not help, all that was left was intuition, that kind of natural instinct. The instinct of a woman alone.
The beggar looked at Qing Chen's single eye, which seemed to reveal a light that was different from his identity. Qing Chen calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Can you take us to Baizhangyuan from the nearest road?"
The beggar nodded and knelt down on one knee in front of Qing Chen. Qing Chen noticed at this moment that although one leg was inconvenient to move, he was giving a standard military salute.
Seeing the gesture, Wei Changzheng was shocked and couldn't help but look at the beggar. Xia Bufeng was a straight-headed man, and couldn't think so much for a while. Both of them waited for Qing Chen to show him, but Shi Zhonghou frowned and said: "Wang Hao, how can you believe this beggar of unknown origin at this time? What if I miss a major event?"
"I believe in myself." How many times have been depicted in the Tianji Mansion and Zuo Yuansun’s military plan inch by inch, the mountains, rivers and cities of the northern frontiers seem to be vivid, Qing Chen raised his head, and there was one in the north under the hazy sky. The stars shone extremely brightly in the sky, and the dazzling clarity flashed by in her composure eyes, as if to cut through the deep silence of the night, and suddenly there was a bright light.
"Give him a horse." She instructed to go down, and a soldier straightened out immediately behind her. The beggar seemed to be extremely excited, but he smashed his head deeply at Qing Chen and turned on his horse with difficulty.
Qing Chen looked at him coldly, his posture on the horse showed traces of strict training, and none of these clues had ever leaked into her eyes. Ignoring the suspicion of the people accompanying her, she ordered to move forward.
The beggar took them to the south along the road on the left, and then into the mountains, walking on mountain roads that are not easy to find. About half an hour later, he entered a valley. Just after passing through the valley, everyone heard the vague but noisy sounds of people fighting and fighting with swords and guns. It seemed that they were not far away, and they couldn't help but be happy.
The beggar turned around and signaled them to go quickly, and ran up a low hill first, and the undulating hills Baizhangyuan immediately appeared in front of him.
Under the sky that turned the light back to dark, the Baizhang Plain was full of Turkic cavalry, and the densely packed army marched forward and continued to attack the few profound armor soldiers in the northwest.
Qing Chen saw the Xuan Jia army at first, unable to see clearly for a while, and asked Wei Changzheng urgently: "Have you seen your Highness?" Before getting an answer, she was surprised again, "He is in the formation!"
Surrounded by the Turkic army, the Xuanjia Army was at a disadvantage, but its formation was stable and divided into all sides. It was exactly the nine-out formation used by Zuo Yuansun when he defeated Conan Xu in Chaoyangchuan.
Thousands of profound armored warriors are erratic among the Turkic army, like a stream, like a sharp whirlpool sweeping the approaching Turkic army to pieces, sometimes rushing forward and backward, piercing through the encirclement, sometimes unwinding and closing, without flaws. Turkic soldiers all around were killed, and people turned their backs on their backs. Although the number of Turks was large, they couldn't help them for a while.
Anyone in the Xuanjia Army who can use this formation so superbly will not think about him except Ye Tianling. Qing Chen was overjoyed and quickly saw the situation in Baizhang. He turned around and said, "General Xia, you brought 7,000 people to confront the Turks from the Zhengdong. Once the enemy forces are in a turmoil, they will immediately retreat to the northwest. Remember not to fight or fight hard. ." She was afraid that Xia Bufeng would be caught in a siege by accident, so she specifically asked.
Xia Bufeng took the lead: "Wang Hao, don't worry, I know the stakes." Yan Xi led his troops away.
Qing Chen said to Wei Changzheng again: "Do you remember what Mr. Zuo said about nine outs?"
Wei Changzheng followed Qing Chen recently. The formations taught by Zuo Yuansun, Qing Chen often practiced with him. He was already familiar with him, and immediately replied, "I will remember!"
Qing Chen said: "Okay, you also led 7,000 troops to take the west, and the water elephant of this formation, Qingfeng, broke into the enemy army and retreated to Yanliang after meeting with the Xuanjia Army!"
"Final will obey!" Wei Changzheng turned around with the horse, and suddenly hesitated, "Wang Hao is here..."
Qing Chen trimmed his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows: "Hurry up! If Nangong Jing captures Yanliang, he will definitely come to respond and tell your Highness that we will see you in Yanliang!"
Wei Changzheng did not dare to resist his orders, and the long whip was shaken, and the seven thousand cavalry rushed towards Baizhangyuan.
Qing Chen said to Shi Zhonghou: "General Shi, order the remaining people to chop down branches and tie them to horsetails on the spot, and we will rush westward along the high hills."
Shi Zhonghou's eyes lit up: "Is the princess trying to trick the enemy?"
Qing Chen smiled slightly and said: "Yes, if the Turkic people mistakenly believe that the reinforcement brigade has been killed, they will have scruples, so we can take advantage of it."
Shi Zhonghou personally took people to arrange the arrangement. Qing Chen saw that the beggar had been here and stared at the army in front of Baizhangyuan. At this time, the scarred face on his side showed uncontrollable excitement. She asked softly: "Who are you, but you knew King Ling before? I am his princess. You helped the Xuan Jia army a lot today. I will thank you for him first."
The beggar rolled off his horse and leaned over to the ground, but he couldn't say anything. He raised his head, and there were tears in his remnant eyes looking at Qing Chen.
So far, the Xuanjia Army and the Turkic army have contended. Although they used the terrain of all parties to deal with it ingeniously, they were not defeated. However, facing the offensive of the Turkic mountains and plains, they were already exhausted. An open plain like Baizhangyuan broke through to the northwest.
The Turkic army rectified a little, and another round of offensive followed.
Ye Tianling watched the soldiers who had been fighting together for many years gradually fall down beside him, their swords flying cold and blood-stained shirts. At this time, he had only one thought in his mind to bring these brothers out of Baizhangyuan alive.
The sword aura hits people, and the power is like a shock. Wherever he goes with the long sword, layers of light and shadows appear. He is born out of the sky, broken gold and cracked stones, and there seems to be torrential rain and cold light in the chaotic army. No Turkic soldier can stand. As a general, the blocker is invincible.
Under a dazzling cold light, the Turkic soldier in front of him splashed blood in his throat and fell to the ground. The sword is like a meteor, slanting and slanting forward, a shower of blood flies down, and then another enemy.
Eleven Behind Ye Tianling, a silver spear was superbly transformed, like a flying dragon piercing through the clouds, and a long dragon going out to sea. Wherever it went, the enemy troops stumbled and threw them away, killing one after another. He picked up an enemy and suddenly felt that the pressure in front of him was relieved. The enemy in the east seemed to be in chaos. Then there was a fight in the west, and troops broke in behind the enemy.
The long spear trembled through the two people, and the eleven said with a long laugh: "Fourth brother, nine hundred and seventy-three!"
Reinforcement kills! The morale of the Xuanjia army is boosted! "It's not too late to get out of the enemy formation!" Ye Tianling replied, hacking an enemy next to him with his backhand, shaking his sword and howling. The Xuanjia army walked on the dragon pan, and instantly changed into an assault formation, and they were fighting, and soon they would reunite with the Western reinforcements.
The two battles are united, and the power is greatly increased. Although the Turkic army is fierce and fierce, it is also difficult for the moment.
The Xuanjia army is like a tiger with wings, and it is hard to stop the enemy. However, in a short time, it smashes a path in the Turkic army.
The Turkic army wanted to stop it, and the dense forest on the western hillside raised billowing smoke and dust, and the sound of hoofs shook the ground. It seemed that thousands of troops were coming from far away, and the momentum was amazing.
The Turkic people suddenly couldn't figure out the situation of the reinforcements and did not dare to advance. After a while, they did not see the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Dynasty. They realized the difference and immediately mobilized all the troops to pursue them.
At this time, the troops led by Xia Bufeng had also been killed. What kind of person is Ye Tianling, once he is out of trouble, how can he allow the enemy to lay the net again? Fighting planes changed a lot. Only in a moment, the Xuanjia army returned to the mountains and the dragon, and the dragon entered the sea.
Baizhangyuan was only more than 20 miles away from Yanliang, halfway through the Nangong 10,000 soldiers and horses competing for reinforcements, they had already captured Yanliang half an hour ago. The original disadvantage was suddenly reversed, and the three parties joined together to enter Yanliang City. The city gate was slowly closed, and the Turkic army chased after it and was blocked outside the city.
Breaking out of the siege and getting out of the trap is truly delightful!
The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were in their cold clothes, their flying horses raised their dust, and they swung their swords in unison and shouted, a cloud of heroic arrogance in Yanliang City!
Nangong Jing, Wei Changzheng, and Xia Bufeng got off their horses and knelt in front of Ye Tianling. Nangong Jing yelled, "Your Highness!"
There was a hint of excitement in the voice: "I will wait until late!"
Ye Tianling saw that Yanliang City had already been properly deployed, and was rigorous everywhere, nodded and praised: "Good job!"
Eleven stood beside him, with a silver spear draped randomly on his shoulders, and he was covered in blood stains in a battle robe. He didn't know whether it was his blood or the blood of the enemy, but his face was grinning incomparably cool and heroic. He said loudly to Ye Tianling: "Four brother, I have killed a thousand Turkic people before you, this time you have lost me for a while!"
The corner of Ye Tianling's lips raised, and his sword eyebrows raised slightly: "What's wrong with letting you once?" Although he joked with Eleven, he didn't know why there was always a strange feeling in his heart. There seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't tell. .
He looked back at the soldiers who followed him. This time, although the Xuanjia Army had never suffered a heavy injury, nearly half of the damage was suffered, but the soldiers flew with swords and flew with pride. At this time, they were still in order, and there was no slack decadence. He immediately ordered Tang Chu to count the casualties and quickly rest on the spot.
At this time, I heard Xia Bufeng competing against Nangong: "You all killed happily, but the princess singled me out and I was not allowed to fight hard. I really don't feel relieved!"
Ye Tianling's heart suddenly moved, turning around and asking: "Is the princess here too? Where is she?"
Xia Bufeng was stunned and looked at Wei Changzheng. Wei Changzheng was stunned, and then looked at Nangong Jing. Upon seeing Nangong Jing, Nangong Jing said, "Isn't the princess with you?"
Wei Changzheng was stunned: "Wang Concubine and General Shi all the way, said that they would meet you first and then go to Yanliang. Didn't you meet them?"
An inexplicable feeling of sinking touched Tian Ling's heart overnight, and he frowned and said, "How many of them are?"
Wei Changzheng said: "Only...less than three thousand."
Ye Tianling thought that Qing Chen was with the heavenly army, and his face suddenly changed after hearing this: "Less than three thousand!"
Eleven was also taken aback: "Where are they now?"
No one answered this. Everyone woke up from the lightness just now, and Mingzhi grabbed Wei Changzheng's collar and asked: "I took my brothers to follow Your Highness. Didn't I tell you to protect the princess? Why are you missing now!"
At that time, the situation was urgent, and Wei Changzheng was forced to leave Qing Chen's side. Now he felt extremely regretful: "Your Highness...I..."
Ye Tianling's eyes were full of fright and anger. Before he could say more, he turned to take the rein and stopped him in time on eleventh: "Fourth brother! Where are you going?"
Ye Tianling was stopped by him, and suddenly calmed down. Standing before Feng Chi, he slammed the horse by the rein, and was silent for a while. Before the army arrived, the Turks crushed the city with heavy troops, and the strength of the two sides was very different. At this time, the defense of Yanliang City was already difficult, let alone other.
Eleventh said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, Shi Zhonghou has experienced many battles and is not a reckless person. He will not bring three thousand people to conflict with the enemy. Since Qing Chen is with him, nothing will happen."
Ye Tianling was caring for a while, but he was chaotic. At this moment, he forced himself to suppress the inexplicable anxiety in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Long March, you and Ming Zhan, brothers with good skills try to get out of the city secretly. Give you two hours. Be sure to find the princess and the others. Where is it!"
Because the Turkic army has not yet figured out the situation in Yanliang City, it has only been surrounded by soldiers and has not yet launched an offensive.
Ye Tianling and Eleven ascended the city head. The sky is thousands of miles away, and the dark clouds are about to fall. The light of the breaking dawn is suppressed behind the clouds, and it is unable to reveal a little bright color. Looking at it, the plain is full of densely arrayed Turkic horses, black suppressing flags everywhere.
Yu Su, the Eastern Turkist Shiluo Khan and the West Turkic Archer Khan, were in front of the battle, and they were pointing to Yan Liang from a distance to discuss how to proceed.
At this time, Yanliang City looked lax in defense and seemed to be within easy reach, but both Turks and Yu Su were very concerned about Ye Tianling, and for a time did not dare to greedy merits.
Ye Tianling looked at the Turkic army with cold eyes, and the long wind raised his black cloak to make him as clear as a sword. In the calm and cold, a kind of terrifying arrogance faintly exuded. It was not the first time he had confronted the few people in front of him. He knew the nature of the other party. At this time, he deliberately showed weakness and turned the falsehood into the truth. But Yu Su was able to win over the East and West Turks that had been split for many years, and borrowed a large army, but he did not know what means was used or what conditions were allowed for the Turks. Thinking of this, Ye Tianling's deep eyes passed silently. The edge.
Eleven's face also showed a bit of dignity, but he said with relief: "Fourth brother, please be relieved, Qing Chen is a wise man, and knows how to protect himself." Having said that, my heart is always anxious. ,The consequences could be disastrous.
"She's confused!" Ye Tianling's voice was momentarily angry, "How dare she take such a risk, if she has an accident, I..." A sentence broke before her eyes, if she has an accident, just think about it Ru Yuanhai's calmness disappeared, and nothing more would help.
After more than an hour passed, a few guards who followed Wei's Long March out of the city returned to the city first. Several people hurriedly rushed to behind Ye Tianling, looked at each other, and hesitated.
Ye Tianling looked back and asked Eleven: "What's going on? Can you find them?"
One of them trembled: "Go back to your Highness, the subordinates wait to find out that the princess... has been taken captive to the Turkic army!"
A word is true, a thunderbolt broke through the sky on a sunny day, Ye Tianling was shocked, and sternly asked: "What did you say!"
The guard in front of him knelt to the ground in shock: "The princess...the princess and General Shi met the prince of East Turkic Tongda and were taken captive to the Turkic army."
