Chapter 109 Li Yi; Feng Kun
The army was in a state of movement, rushing forward like a tide, with flags waving all over the mountains and plains, pursuing the enemy with great victory, with the sound of swords and horses rubbing against each other.
Under the Zhenwu Army flag, Feng Kun, wearing silver armor and a dark blue cloak, was riding on horseback. His expression was calm, and his fair and beautiful face looked extremely majestic against the backdrop of the armor.
Yin Luo followed closely behind, and he couldn't help but shed tears. If it weren't for that incident, his master would have been an excellent person both in literature and martial arts.
I remember that a few days before the incident, the young Feng Kun had just told Feng Liangyu that he wanted to try martial arts for two years, and if he didn't like it, he would go into literature.
At that time, Feng Liangyu said to him, how could this be possible? Which child would try so hard like you?
But although Feng Liangyu complained about his youngest son who had suffered a lot in his childhood, he actually loved him very much in his heart. This child was talented in both literature and martial arts and was very intelligent since childhood.
The serious man said this, but he started to inquire about the arrangements the next day.
Yin Luo didn't dare to say anything. He shook his head hard to drive away these old memories from his mind, and kicked his horse's belly to speed up and catch up.
Feng Kun had always been indifferent, but today, when the Northern Rong were defeated, he finally got to take a look at them. He even climbed up the mountain and overlooked the battlefield where the Northern Rong were defeated.
Not long after he came down, he received a secret report from the Fanyang Army.
Although the Zhenwu Army had always been indifferent, they were well aware of the various undercurrents within and outside the imperial court and the army. As soon as they heard it, they thought to themselves, "Gao Wei and Johann Adam Schall von Bell."
In an instant, I roughly understood Li Yi's entire plan.
"Attack from both sides. The imperial army can't turn back." Fan Dongyang pondered for a moment. "Xie Ci will certainly not retreat and give the Northern Rong army a chance to counterattack. In this way, we will be attacked from three sides."
An army of nearly 600,000 soldiers and horses attacked the Shuofang army of just over 200,000 soldiers and horses. Xie Ci might even have to send some cavalry to the front to pretend that the central army was in pursuit.
Everyone looked at each other, and Yin Luo said, "Master, should we tell Xie Ci about this news?"
Send a message?
It’s too late.
The level of detail of the topographic map in Feng Kun's hand was no less than Xie Ci's. He pondered for a moment, then glanced up at the mountains and hills in the dark night. The army in front of him was surging forward like a tide.
In the center is the Shuofang Army, on the left is the Qingzhou Army, and on the right is the Heyang Army.
The vanguard further ahead and the troops galloping around on both sides were the imperial army.
He turned to the other side, towards the Fanyang army.
The Fanyang army's road is easier to travel than this one, and they are already much faster than them.
Feng Kun turned around and looked at the group of confidants who had followed him for many years, including Yin Luo, Tian Yu, Huang Xin, Fan Dongyang, Qiu Yunying and so on.
After Yin Luo finished speaking, Fan Dongyang and others immediately looked over.
"It's too late to deliver the letter."
Feng Kun suddenly raised his eyes, and at this moment his sharp edge was revealed. In his bones, he was still the proud and sharp Feng Kun who could mediate the situation. He raised his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes and disappeared in an instant.
Feng Kun ordered in a deep voice: "The Zhenwu Army will rush to support the Shuofang Army. Go!"
Fan Dongyang and the others were stunned and a little surprised, but they were all very willing and responded in unison: "I obey your command!"
The command flag was waved and the military order was quickly conveyed. The Zhenwu Army immediately accelerated its speed, bypassed the mountains, and rushed out at a rapid speed.
…
At the same time, Xie Ci had already noticed that something was wrong.
It's not that he didn't guard against Li Yi. In fact, the moment he defeated Beirong, his vigilance against Li Yi reached its peak.
During the rapid march, Xun Xun rushed in like a madman, but was stopped outside the center of the army. He screamed, "Hurry up! Hurry up, charge forward, wipe out the Beirong, kill him! Kill him—"
Xun Xiao leaped over and killed him with a sword from behind.
Just as Xun Xun's body fell to the ground, a fast horse came back at full speed. Xie Zi was holding a familiar figure horizontally. Her head and hands were drooping limply, blood dripping from them. Under her fine armor, there was a familiar red lingerie.
——The red inner garment belongs to Gu Wan only.
When the two of them were trying on their wedding attire in Shuofang, they didn't have time to change out of their inner garments before putting on their armor and reviewing the troops. The sleeves of the red inner garment were cut off, and Gu Wan patched up a piece of it. She never threw it away later. After all, who would care about these things in such a tense wartime? The material was super good and super comfortable, so she kept the red inner garment with mandarin duck sleeves to change into.
In this world, no one is more familiar with her red inner garment than Xie Ci.
As the two of them appeared, one on a horse, Xie Zi's voice rose to a breaking point: "Oh no! She's dying!"
Xie Ci's heart suddenly tightened and he felt the blood rushing backwards. He almost rushed forward on horseback.
Just as he was about to charge, Xie Ci suddenly reined in his horse! "Xie Zi" and "Gu Guan" leaped up at the same time, one with a sleeve arrow and the other with a long sword, heading straight for Xie Ci's chest and face.
Xie Ci shouted loudly, leaped up, dodged and avoided, and in an instant knocked down the sleeve arrow and brought down the long sword.
He was furious. Gu Guan could be said to be a forbidden area in his heart. Pretending to be dying was simply touching his reverse scale. Xie Ci wielded his spear and quickly stabbed the two men to death.
At this time, they had already reached the mountain pass. The Northern Rong army rushed past in chaos, and the imperial army followed closely behind, chasing them with all their might.
In the dark night, the sound of the army's rapid march was as rumbling and shaking as the waves of a tidal wave.
Suddenly, the Qingzhou Army and the Heyang Army suddenly pressed forward towards the central army, while in the rear, Li Yi's Fanyang Army pressed forward from the rear.
The three sides surrounded the Shuofang Legion in an instant, forming a stalemate and immediately launched a fierce attack!
"The world is bustling with people because of profit, and the world is bustling with people because of profit!"
Li Yi drew out his sword with a swish and shouted, "Charge! Strangling the Shuofang Army—"
Six hundred thousand versus two hundred thousand.
Li Yi knew that the Shuofang Army was capable of fighting, and Xie Ci's ability to lead the army and his combat effectiveness were extremely strong, but the Fanyang Army, Qingzhou Army and Heyang Army were not bad either.
Xie Ci could retreat or break out, but once the Shuofang army broke out and retreated, a large area would be left for the Beirong army to counterattack and catch their breath, giving them a chance to turn the defeat around.
This is a thank you speech, so he won't do it, he can only stand there and take the beating.
In fact, at the last moment he sent 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry forward, pretending that the central army was in pursuit in order to deceive the fleeing Northern Rong army.
The imperial army was pressing forward and absolutely could not retreat.
Flags fluttered, and the battle shook the heavens. Beneath the red and yellow banners of the Fanyang Army, Li Yi said coldly, "Hero? There are ways to deal with heroes."
The victors will be kings and the losers will be bandits. He will leave a fair mark in history.
Li Yi doesn't care about his reputation after death, he cares about his achievements in this life.
Found a country, ascend the throne, and become emperor!
He can also create the peaceful and prosperous era that Xie Ci wants to create!
Since he is not chosen, he will do it himself!
Li Yi was still annoyed. They had been teacher and student for more than ten years, and he had done so much for the royalists!
Master Wen knew it clearly, but at the last moment, he handed the imperial army to Xie Ci, whom he had only known for a few days!
Li Yi's handsome, blood-stained face became extremely fierce at this moment. Xie Ci, win or lose, you and I have been mentally prepared, right?
…
Li Yi's plan was an open one, but unfortunately, it ultimately failed.
Xie Ci held this position firmly, not retreating a single step. The Shuofang Legion formed a united circle, and no one lost their composure at all.
There was horror, anger, and fighting, but no one needed to give orders and shouted, revealing that the melee in the rear was known to the Beirong.
After fighting for half an hour, the rumbling sound of horse hooves and the sound of military boots hitting the ground suddenly appeared.
The Zhenwu Army, which was at the rear to collect the Northern Rong soldiers driven into the valley, suddenly sped up, marched quickly and came in from the side. More than 200,000 elite Northern Army soldiers were aggressive and quickly tore open a gap.
Xie Ci held up a silver spear and shouted, "The Northern Rong are here, and you are joining the army to fight. Are you planning treason?!"
The target of his harsh shouting was none other than the ordinary soldiers of the Qingzhou Army and the Heyang Army.
Qin Xian and the others immediately understood what was going on. They spread the word, and with the Zhenwu Army, they rushed to support them, shouting, "The Northern Rong are here. You are joining the army and fighting. This is a sign of treason—"
Ordinary soldiers were required to advance at the sound of drums and flags, and those who violated the rules were immediately executed. However, they were fed with military pay and food issued by their own unit, and they charged forward at the command. However, the sudden and stern shouting made them panic, and they looked at each other and hesitated, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
The Shuofang Army joined forces with the Zhenwu Army to quickly counterattack!
In an instant, the situation was over.
The moment the Zhenwu Army appeared, Li Yi knew that his carefully planned plan had come to an end and was on the verge of failure.
He vaguely guessed that the Zhenwu Army belonged to Feng Kun, but he never expected that Feng Kun would order the Zhenwu Army to rush to the aid of the Shuofang Army so promptly.
His face changed drastically, and he was filled with rage and resentment. He shouted: "Feng Kun! Feng Kun——"
But there was no point in delaying any further. After the front of the army was suppressed, Li Yi shouted: "Send the order, retreat!!"
"Fanyang Army, Qingzhou Army, Heyang Army, sound the horn! Retreat, evacuate Taihang Mountain!"
…
It was almost dawn, and dark clouds were rolling in, mingling with the smoke, pressing down heavily.
The wind whistled past with a cold breeze.
Li Yi was also able to make a prompt decision. After his plan failed, no matter how furious he was, he quickly ordered his troops to gather, turned around and left the Shoutai mountain area directly, heading south.
Xie Ci didn't care about him. His bloodshot eyes stared fiercely for a moment, then he turned back: "Rally the army immediately and march quickly! Pursue the Northern Rong—"
It's not impossible to lose nearly 600,000 troops, but the pursuit of Beirong will be more urgent, and Huyan De of Beirong will not be allowed to have a chance to catch his breath.
Xie Ci assembled his army as quickly as possible and rushed forward with the Zhenwu Army in pursuit. He only glanced back at the sound of the Fanyang army retreating from behind and ignored it.
But they soon encountered a problem.
Beirong fled frantically all the way and finally found a chance to survive.
As mentioned earlier, more than 300 miles northeast of Wangguling along the mountain is the West Gate of Yehuling, which is also the important pass where the Northern Rong army first broke through and entered the country.
Hu Yande stationed 100,000 troops to guard Xiguan.
In fact, Xie Ci was not unprepared, but Xun Xun's plan was discovered in advance and deviated. The sound of the explosion upstream made the water of the Wan River suddenly turbulent, rushing into a small tributary along the mountain, and suddenly collapsed the earth and rocks and camouflaged long grass and trees that Xie Ci had ordered the engineers to fill there in advance, revealing a narrow mountain stream behind it that led directly to Xiguan.
——The Northern Rong scouts were also constantly patrolling the southern plains of Yan. It was extremely difficult for the imperial army to be deployed to this extent. Earth and rocks were not easy to move with only manpower and carrying frames. The engineers had done their best to accomplish this without letting the Northern Rong scouts discover any abnormalities in this area.
Now that a corner had collapsed and the sky had brightened, the fleeing Northern Rong army soon discovered the abnormality here.
They climbed and moved things as fast as they could and soon cleared this side of the mountain stream.
The Northern Rong soldiers rode their horses and rushed into the mountain stream, rushing towards the other end of the exit, and cleared the earth and rocks as soon as they got there.
The morale of the Beirong army was greatly boosted, and they even united into a circle, quickly clearing away the earth and rocks and rushing in.
Xie Ci looked from afar and knew something was wrong. His face changed drastically. However, the sentry ran back and reported loudly from a distance: "Report to the commander! The 20,000 elite soldiers of the Zhenwu Army have bypassed the mountains and blocked the exit of Yixiantian!"
This time it was Fan Dongyang, Qiu Yunying and the others' turn to change their expressions.
The Zhenwu Army did leave behind 20,000 elite soldiers, but no one came to reinforce because Feng Kun was there.
This means that Feng Kun led these troops and decided to take a detour to block this narrow gap.
But, this is equivalent to the position of the suicide squad!
There is no coming back!
Fan Dongyang and Qiu Yunying were speechless: "What did you say?!"
Xie Ci knew that Feng Kun was there. He was stunned. Fan Dongyang and others reacted so strongly. Could it be that Feng Kun led his troops to block Yixiantian?
…
The wind was cold in late autumn, and the dark blue cloak behind Feng Kun rustled.
He was alone, standing on the hill.
The sentries under his command did discover earlier that a small part of the camouflaged fortifications on both sides of the stream mouth had been destroyed.
Feng Kun's trusted aides, including Yin Luo, Tian Yu, Fan Dongyang, Qiu Yunying, etc. He rescued and recruited more than a thousand people from inside and outside the palace.
Most of them are eunuchs.
Gu Guan was right, he really cared about the people around him.
The reason why he stayed in the army was to find a future for them.
The forces of the imperial court and the allies have been undercurrents until now, and he finally judged that Xie Ci would be the ultimate winner.
As for Xie Ci, no matter what happened in the past, as long as the Zhenwu Army participated in the fight against the Beirong, Fan Dongyang and others would not be less credited with the merits they deserved.
Feng Kun had a blank expression on his face. He ordered the Zhenwu Army to rush to Xie Ci's aid, which was equivalent to asking the Zhenwu Army to follow Xie Ci from now on.
Yin Luo suddenly understood, and burst into tears: "Master!"
Feng Kun did not answer him.
Alone, with the wind howling, he looked down at the jade ring in his hand, his father, and a bright red agate bead around his neck.
After so many years, my father's voice, appearance and smile are still vivid in my mind. I wonder if his spirit in heaven would be disappointed to see me like this.
Life and death made little difference to Feng Kun. After settling Fan Dongyang and others, he suddenly wanted to do what his father would have done if he were still alive.
Feng Kun clenched the jade ring in his hand, turned around, and looked at Yin Luo: "You two go and talk to Fan Dongyang..."
"No! We want to be with our Master!"
Yin Luo, Tian Yu and others knelt on the ground, crawled forward on their knees, and hugged Feng Kun's legs tightly. Even if they died in battle, they had to kill him first before Feng Kun!
Yin Luo and his companions have been Feng Kun's retainers since childhood, so the situation is different.
Feng Kun looked up at the sky, which was covered with rolling leaden clouds. He took a deep breath and suddenly felt that this was not bad.
The depressed mood that had been suppressed for a long time surged up, and he said hoarsely: "Okay! Everyone get up——"
Feng Kun jumped on his horse, followed closely by Yin Luo, Tian Yu and others. Feng Kun laughed loudly and threw the jade ring onto the high hill.
That fair and gorgeous face regained its sternness, and he gave the command proudly: "Pass the order! March—"
He had wanted to be a general for many years, and today he officially led his troops into charge.
In the dim sky, leaden clouds rolled and there was a faint sound of thunder.
Twenty thousand Zhenwu soldiers swooped down from the high hills, circled the mountains and headed towards the exit of Yitiantian.
The author has something to say:
The agate beads were given by Concubine Mu. I am alone and I have a father, and the two emotions are intertwined.
Ah, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. If you don't heat up Feng Kun's lunch box and go to plug the hole, not all of them will die without a single one left.
As for Li Yi, after his failure, he led his team south, preparing for another battle with Xie Ci. Gao Wei and Tang Xianwang were not his trump cards; he had other cards.
But no matter what, Xie Ci walked straight ahead, was extremely tough and unyielding, and was not afraid of him.
…
Ah, Feng Kun is a very complicated person, and also a very proud person.
