Chapter 218 Capture
Xiyang Pass, battlefield.
Ever since Huo Zheng "came back from the dead" that day and led the Mo Yu Cavalry to defeat the Xiling army, the Xiling people have been defeated step by step for more than a month and have retreated to the border between the two countries.
Marshal Xiling was shot through by an arrow by Huo Zheng that night and was seriously injured. He can only lie on his sickbed and barely survive. Now the one commanding the Xiling army is a red-robed general in his twenties.
Today, the two armies were fighting. Shao Feiyang took the lead with a silver spear in hand. He passed the crowd and started fighting with the young red-robed general of Xiling.
The north wind blew, the war drums beat, and the battlefield was dark with soldiers from both countries.
Shao Feiyang rode a white horse, brandished a spear, and when fighting with his opponent, he did not forget to provoke his opponent, "Little pretty boy, you are quite impressive. At this age, you can replace the marshal to take charge of the three armies. How did you climb so fast? Tell me!"
"You have red lips, white teeth, and a face as beautiful as a peach blossom. How can you have the nerve to call someone a pretty boy? Do you usually look in the mirror?"
The red-robed general held a red tasseled spear in his hand, and while he was fighting for his life with Shao Feiyang, his verbal skills were also very powerful.
Shao Feiyang was handsome and young, and he hated being told he was handsome. This young general from Xiling aroused his anger with just one word, and he moved with the silver spear more fiercely, aiming at the opponent's vital points with every move.
The red-robed general tried his best to respond while smiling and saying, "Weren't you the one who provoked me first? Why are you still angry? Little General, you can't afford to play with me!"
Shao Feiyang said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense and watch this!"
Ever since Marshal Xiling was seriously injured, the Xiling army was in great chaos and they kept fighting and retreating. But ever since this red-robed general suddenly appeared and replaced Marshal Xiling as the commander of the three armies, the Xiling people actually regained some of their morale and were brave enough to fight them again. They stood on the border and refused to retreat.
When the generals under Huo Zheng gathered together to discuss the war, they all said that they had never seen the red-robed general in the Xiling military camp before. They all said that this person's origins were a mystery, and they only knew that his name was Ye Yuan.
Ye is the royal family of Xiling, but there is no one named Ye Yuan among the royal family of Xiling.
Everyone speculated that he was from a branch of the royal family, and that he showed up at such a critical moment just to risk his life to gain military merit and make a name for himself.
General Wang and others, along with Huo Zheng, were killing enemies not far away while watching the battle. Shao Feiyang and Xiling's red-robed general seemed evenly matched, and even after several moves, the winner could not be determined.
Moreover, Shao Feiyang was still too young. He seemed to be irritated by the opponent, and his attacks became faster and faster, and he was quite impatient.
Huo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Fei Yang is young, and if he encounters such a tough opponent, he will probably suffer a loss."
General Wang immediately said, "I will go and lend him a hand."
Just as he was about to ride forward, he saw Jiang Hao beside him raise his hand and shoot out a sleeve arrow, shooting at the red-robed general Ye Yuan not far away.
Ye Yuanzheng was fighting with Shao Feiyang on the verge of life and death when he heard a hidden arrow coming towards him. He immediately dodged to the side, but this avoidance gave Shao Feiyang an opportunity to knock him off his horse with a single shot.
Ye Yuan was knocked off his horse and rolled twice on the ground, causing his hair crown to fall off. His three thousand black hair fell down to his waist, and his beautiful and heroic face instantly became more charming.
Shao Feiyang rode his horse in pursuit and stabbed Ye Yuan in the heart with his spear, but he found that she looked different. He asked in surprise, "You...you are a woman?"
Ye Yuan didn't panic after losing. He just looked up at him and said, "So what if I'm a woman? Just because I'm a woman, you can't do it?"
Shao Feiyang was speechless for a moment. He pointed his spear at the opponent's vital points but did not take his life.
The Shao family is a family of generals. Shao Feiyang has been practicing martial arts since he was a child in order to defend his country. He also follows the family motto of never killing people indiscriminately or hitting women.
Although Ye Yuan in front of him was a woman, she was definitely not an ordinary woman. Shao Feiyang hesitated for a moment, should he kill her or not?
At this moment, Huo Zheng's voice came from not far away, "Fei Yang, catch him alive!"
"Yes!" Shao Feiyang responded immediately, dismounted, and lifted Ye Yuan up from the ground.
"General—" Upon seeing this, the Xiling soldiers rushed over like crazy to rescue Ye Yuan.
"Retreat!" Ye Yuan turned around and shouted sternly, "Don't worry about me. Withdraw your troops immediately and defend the city gate!"
"General!" Several Xiling generals were sweating profusely in anxiety.
Ye Yuan said: "They won't kill me. Listen up! Retreat!"
Upon hearing this, the Xiling generals gritted their teeth and shouted to retreat, and the Xiling army retreated like a tide.
The two armies fought and the commander was captured. There was no benefit for Xiling in continuing the battle, so they had to retreat.
Before long, only the Daxing soldiers were left on the battlefield.
"Someone come here." Shao Feiyang knew that Ye Yuan was good at martial arts, and even though he knew she was a woman, he did not dare to look down on her. He handcuffed her hands behind her back and asked a soldier beside him to come forward with a hemp rope to tie her up.
Ye Yuan said, "You've already caught me, and I can't run away. Why are you so nervous, young general?"
"Shut up." Shao Feiyang got angry when he heard her speak, "Call me little general again, and I'll make you pay!"
"Little General, Little General, Little General—" Ye Yuan called out three times in a row, "What do you think, Little General?"
Shao Feiyang was furious. He reached out and grabbed Ye Yuan's collar and lifted him up...
"Fei Yang." Huo Zheng came riding over with his men. "What are you doing?"
Shao Feiyang couldn't say in public that he was mad at this woman, so he put her down and bowed respectfully to the visitor, "Your Majesty."
All the generals were surprised that the enemy commander was a woman, and they surrounded Ye Yuan and looked him up and down.
When Shao Feiyang said that Ye Yuan was a pretty boy, they thought that Ye Yuan was just good-looking and a little fairer than others. Until now, with her hair loose and looking disheveled, her beauty could not be concealed.
This is not a pretty boy at all, she is clearly a beauty!
The soldiers had been in the barracks for a long time and even a sow looked pretty, let alone a rare beauty like Ye Yuan. Some even joked with Shao Feiyang, "No wonder General Shao couldn't bring himself to kill her. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to kill such a beauty either."
Shao Feiyang said unhappily: "I'm not reluctant, I'm -"
No one cared what he was talking about and continued to talk excitedly.
Ye Yuan was captured by the enemy and stared at by so many people, but he didn't look the least bit embarrassed. Instead, he was very calm, and even had a slight smile on his lips. He said to Huo Zheng, "I have heard of the great name of Prince Chang'an for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is truly handsome and unparalleled in the world."
Shao Feiyang became even more furious when he heard this, "How dare you tease our prince?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Young General, please move aside. I have something important to discuss with the King of Chang'an."
Shao Feiyang didn't dodge. He regretted it very much. Why didn't he stab the woman to death with a single shot?
Huo Zheng looked down at Ye Yuan, his lips curled slightly as he said, "Should I address you as General Ye, or—Princess Xiling?"
