Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 273

"I suddenly found myself a very mean person... very mean."

silence.

After a long time, the man turned around with a sigh, wanting to go away.

"That's just your way of loving her." Under the rising sun, the man in blue looked back, his eyes were as clear as jade, "Is there anything more that makes me feel better than knowing that someone will love her wholeheartedly and take care of her wholeheartedly? Pleasure?"

He smiled, his face was a little pale, but his face was radiant.

"I am very comforted."

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Qianyuan, the sky was clear.

Behind the mountain is still a mountain, only a vast ancient road stretches to the sky, and the early morning wind blows over, bringing the chill of the first snowfall.

Ahead, across the greenish plain, Yunzhou is in sight.

Qin Changge raised his head on the horse and let out a long breath.

At this moment, the Wei-Yan coalition army and the Xiliang army are racing against time. Whoever arrives at Yunzhou first and occupies a favorable terrain to wait for the opponent's tired soldiers will win.

On the map of the sea, two powerful forces, one from the foot of the Qingma Mountain, crossed the Mengdu grassland, and crossed the Shangshan Mountain for thousands of miles; The Zhuzhou, Ding, and Chengzhou states marched to meet each other, and then met fiercely in Yunzhou. The loud noise of the final collision between the powers of the world is destined to shake the hometown of Empress Ruiyi, and spread far away, causing a turmoil in the world. angry.

Whose halberd is the first to be stained with the blood of the enemy, with sparks to ignite the sound of the siege cannon?
The scouts in front had come to report, but no trace of the enemy was found. The expressions of the generals who had been exhausted and anxious for many days finally showed a slight relief.

Qin Changge smiled comfortingly, turned around and looked at Chu Feihuan and said, "Feihuan, your injury is still unhealed, and you have lost a layer of weight after traveling without sleep for so many days. When you arrive in Yunzhou tonight, you have to get well first anyway." Take a break."

Chu Feihuan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay." He looked in the direction of Yunzhou in a daze, frowning slightly, Qin Changge carefully observed his expression, and said carefully: "Feihuan, what do you think is wrong? Is it?"

"...Oh." Chu Feihuan was stunned for a moment before recovering, raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Changge, my predictive ability is actually very limited. The closer to familiar people, the more effective they are. Big things are unpredictable."

"It's okay." Qin Changge looked up at the faintly outlined city in front of him, "I'm just worried that you are too tired. As for the war, it's unpredictable. If you figure it out, what do you need us to do?"

Chu Feihuan smiled faintly, suddenly turned his head slightly towards Xiao Jue's direction, and said, "Go and talk to His Majesty, he is not in a good mood."

Qin Changge was silent, and said for a while, "Haven't you guys talked about it?"

"Changge, you have to understand that His Majesty just cares about you too much." Chu Feihuan turned his head to look at her, "He was upright all his life, honest and honest, and that moment of slowness was a lifelong shame to him. If you don't forgive him, he And I will never forgive myself forever.”

"I'm not unforgiving, you forgive me why I persisted? Besides, he is really just a demon for a moment. In a person's life, everyone has a moment when he is disturbed by demons," Qin Changge played slowly Pointing at the rein on his finger, "It's just Feihuan, I seem to be very upset recently, and I don't even know why I am upset."

Chu Feihuan turned her head and looked at Qin Changge quietly. In the transparent wind, her eyes as bright as stars were like diamonds, shining with light, and could see all kinds of stories in the world, but the authorities were confused and couldn't see where she was going and where she came from .

Looking at her with incomparable importance, Chu Feihuan's eyes gradually formed a layer of mist, and then slowly dissipated. His smile was as clear as the wind, but he just patted her hand without answering.

Time goes back to the eighteenth night of the first lunar month.

There are no stars and no moon, only layers of extremely thick clouds, superimposed on the deep black sky in the distance. A few days ago, there was a snowfall, which was pressed heavily on the branches. From time to time, I heard a "click", some thin branches were broken.

Yunzhou City, surrounded by mountains on three sides, sleeps quietly in the cold air after the snow.

"Crack", "crack", "crack", one after another, sounded out one after another, and they sounded in Shangshan Mountain not far from the west of the city.

It no longer sounded like the sound of a tree branch falling.

A nocturnal rabbit ran out of the grass in panic, looking behind it in panic.

"Hey, bunny!"

The sound of striding footsteps came, and a pair of big hands picked up the inexplicably flustered rabbit. The man dressed as a hunter raised his eyebrows and patted the snow on the rabbit's fur triumphantly.

He lived near the foot of the mountain, and when he came out to relieve himself at night, he accidentally saw this silly rabbit running around, hey, sleeping at home in the middle of the night, and the rabbit delivered to the door, what a wonderful thing!Dare to change luck this year?

"Click", "click", "click".

Orion didn't hear anything, he just carried the rabbit happily and turned around.

"Click".

A light flashed in the darkness.

Orion paused, his eyes widened in surprise, he slowly lowered his head, and looked at the bloody spear point that suddenly protruded from his chest.

"Plop."The rabbit fell to the ground, and he tried hard to turn around on the gun that pierced him, to see who killed him.

However, the tip of the gun was retracted suddenly, and it was pulled back from his chest, and then a strong force rushed in, and with a bang, he was kicked and flew to the side of the mountain road, like a broken sack abandoned by the side of the road.

He leaned on a pile of firewood, and saw a soldier in yellow armor and black clothes suddenly appearing on a hidden mountain road behind him, coldly wiping the tip of his gun that was dripping with blood.

Immediately, more soldiers in the same attire appeared, and more and more soldiers poured out from that mountain road like a tide, occupying the entire flat land at the foot of the mountain in darkness. People could also be seen flickering, like streams of streams, silently gathering in the growing team. God knows how many people miraculously appeared in Shangshan, where there are usually few people.

Those people walked past him silently but quickly without turning their eyes. Someone kicked the rabbit and cursed in a low voice: "In this damn place of Xiliang, even the rabbit is much thinner!"

Immediately someone shouted: "Shut up!"

Orion stared wide-eyed at the strange team rushing in front of him like a frenzy. His dying mind suddenly understood that this was an army from a foreign country. wife and children.

The last sentence he heard was a cold low drink.

"Kill them all!"

==
It is true that the wind at the foot of Shangshan Mountain no longer carried a trace of blood when it blew under the city wall of Yunzhou.

Just like when the dark army marched under the city wall of Yunzhou, the unsuspecting soldiers and civilians in the city could no longer panic or gasp.

They should have been prepared, but unfortunately, all the people who sent military reports from the court were intercepted and killed by the Nanmin forces lurking in Xiliang.

Almost as soon as the coalition forces arrived, the siege began immediately.

These people did not bring food, supplies, chariots, cannons and other weapons that could be used to attack the city. They ran all night with light clothes and simple horses. Even the dry food was calculated accurately. finish eating.

There are orders from above, there is no food, there is nothing, if you want to eat, go to the city to rob; if you want to change the clothes that are torn by thorns, go to the city to rob; if you want gold, silver and jewels, go to the city to rob, you want to play Xiliang Beauty - go to town to grab it.

According to the normal strategy of deploying troops, good generals should not send tired soldiers, they should start after resting, but the soldiers are exhausted after running a long distance, if they lie down at this moment, they will surely be able to sleep for three days and three nights.

But there is no time to wait for three days and three nights, and the Xiliang army is also hurrying on their way like sparks, and the fight is at most a few hours!
Then, let's go on with all our strength, and use persecution and temptation to force you to continue.

At the deepest night, the siege battle started, and the coalition forces of Wei and Yan lit torches, and the entire Yunzhou was surrounded by a sea of ​​torches. Standing on the tower and looking from a distance, it was like a sky full of stars descending on the plains.

When Ma Sirui was hurriedly guarded by soldiers from his "imperial brick mansion" to the top of the city, he immediately fainted when he saw the black and yellow underground coalition army forming a vast expanse.

The Wei-Yan allied forces directly attacked the west of the city with a tacit understanding. They cut down a giant tree from the foot of Queshang Mountain. Dozens of people carried the giant tree, and instead of hitting the city gate, they went directly to the blue-gray city wall with different colors.

Xiliang soldiers desperately fired bows and arrows, and threw flints, torches and stones downwards. However, there were too many coalition soldiers, and they died one after another. With the rain of arrows, it hit the giant tree again and again.

After a dozen blows, the city wall broke unexpectedly, and the cracks were full of broken bricks and plaster.

The coalition forces shouted in ecstasy, scrambling to jump into the gap, the first to enter was hacked to death by the soldiers guarding the wall, but more people rushed in and trampled the soldiers guarding the wall to death.

A not-so-big gap in the city wall has become a fatal wound on the huge body of Yunzhou City. The bloody wound was bitten again and again intentionally, and countless human heads rushed in like ants, like black poisonous juice. , melted into Yunzhou's calm beating heart, melted into Yunzhou's blood vessels.

The Xiliang soldiers were still refusing to give up their resistance, but the cries of the common people could be faintly heard in the city, and clusters of fires were burning in the street corners and alleys, like fierce eyes in the night.

The night is young, and the killing has just begun.

The coalition army cheered, rushed to the top of the city, hacked to death those soldiers who did not retreat, threw their heads off the high wall, smashed them to pieces, and laughed amidst the crackling sound.

The parents and officials of Yunzhou City lived in the emperor's house and slept in the emperor's kang. Ma Sirui, who was waiting to be the next emperor, tore down his own wall, and finally it was someone else's turn to tear down his wall.

He was found in a corner of the city tower. The soldiers who attacked the city did not recognize his representative official robes, so they dragged him out tremblingly, threw him alive from the tower, and were dragged into the city again by the soldiers. It was trampled all over and fell into the mud and dust, so that no one could find Master Ma's remains afterwards.
