Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 86

It was like a big dream. Ye Ji woke up with his eyes open. He was in the swaying and dimly lit carriage. There were ruts and the sound of trampling horses’ hooves from outside. I don’t know what happened before abandoning the capital, so I can only open my mouth to ask the pitiful Yu Fei.

Concubine Yu did not dare to tell him the cruel facts. The news of the destruction of the Dengzhou navy and the tearing of the sea defense line made the emperor vomit blood and fell into a coma. The miserable and unreasonable truth-telling that he had to withdraw from Yanjing would make the emperor feel stimulated. He only said: “It’s a mess, and the concubines don’t understand very well. The emperor is in a drowsiness. Jinan came and led a group of princes and ministers to preside over the overall situation. At this time, we are heading south, and listening to the princes’ wishes, if we can’t go to Taiyuan, we will take the road from Jinnan to Guanzhong…”

Hearing that Ye Jiduo was in charge of the situation, Ye Jier was a little relieved, thinking that the situation was not that bad, and wanted to ask a few more things, but felt short of breath and heartbroken. Think about the military again…

Yu Fei was afraid that the emperor would get sick again, in addition to asking the imperial doctor to come over to check Ye Jier’s pulse, she only asked Tan Daocheng to come to see the forbidden camp; He sent someone to summon Ye Jiduo.

Under the pressure of the Huaidong Army, it was impossible for 30,000 to 40,000 people to flee south from Yanjing City together. The battalion of 5,000 elite cavalry was almost one of the few elites that Dayan could master in Yanji, while Ye Jiduodi himself led a force of more than 10,000 horses in the rear, delaying the pursuit of the Huaidong Army.

At the end of the day, when the convoy entered Luan County from the north, Ye Jiduodi came up from behind. The convoy here couldn’t stop, and Ye Jiduo didn’t care to avoid suspicion, so he got into the car directly, and Concubine Yu just curled up in the corner of the carriage.

The curtains of the car were lifted, and the light in the carriage was not bad. Concubine Yu saw that Ye Jiduo’s left armour was stained with blood, and his left shoulder was still covered with wounds. Did you hit it?

Yezier didn’t understand the situation anymore, but when he saw Duo Dy coming with a shoulder injury, he knew that the situation was unimaginable.

Ye Jiduo hurriedly called the imperial physician order to squeeze into the car, Ye Jier shook his head and said breathlessly: “How bad is the situation, you don’t have to hide it from me…”

Ye Jiduo’s mental strength was also haggard. Before nightfall, Zhang Gou, the left-wing frontman of the Huaidong Army, wanted to lead his troops in Weihejin to cross the Weihe River. Although the Huaidong Army’s intention to cross the river from Weihejin was temporarily repelled, the entire rear soldiers and horses were killed and wounded. In addition, the Huaidong Horse Infantry Army had already entered Yanjing, and a cavalry was chasing south along the west bank of the Weihe River.

At this time, the road ahead seemed to be quiet and quiet, but the quieter it was, the more Ye Jiduodi felt that the road ahead contained dangers that they could not predict at this time.

Before the war, the West Temple Supervisor had detected that a large number of people from the Huaidong faction had sneaked into the Taihang Mountains, and they should have contacted and organized the resistance forces in the Taihang Mountains. Although the Taihang Mountain Resistance Army is weak, when Dayan’s Yanji situation collapses, they cannot do nothing at all. It was always extra quiet before a storm came, and Ye Jiduo couldn’t help but wonder at this time: Is it wrong for him to choose to flee south?

Ye Jiduo told Ye Jier what happened in the past month after Ye Jiduo’s destruction of the Dengzhou Navy. Ye Jier could only hear the cunning pain in his heart, and his body was dripping with sweat. It was only after the fiasco of Fenghe that he abandoned the capital and fled south. After all, Ye Jier couldn’t bear it any longer. He kicked his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the corner of the bedding a dazzling red…

Yejier was exhausted, and the injections were unable to continue his life. The imperial doctor ordered Ma Fengchun to finally make Yejier not faint again, but he could only maintain his final sanity. At this time, the carriage and horses stopped. Ye Jiduo looked at the front of the car in confusion. When he saw Tan Daocheng lift the curtain and walked in, he asked, “Why did it stop? What happened?”

“The outpost found that there are signs of a large group of troops in the southwest wing mountain!” Tan Daocheng said standing outside the car.

Ye Jiduo knew that what he was worried about had finally come, but he didn’t expect that the Taihang Mountain Resistance Army would let the Queen Mother’s carriage and horses passed by the previous team and dragged it out until now…

Ye Jiduo frowned and said to Tan Daocheng, “You gather your cavalry on the right front wing, if the Taihang bandits jump out to intercept the road and kill them…”

The 5,000 forbidden cavalry in the middle road are Dayan’s last elite cavalry in the Yanji area, all of whom were born in the Wangjing army. How strong can you be if you wrap your belly and don’t cover your body with clothes?

In Ye Jiduodi’s opinion, compared to the Taihang bandits who might jump out to block the road, the elite Huaidong army horses and infantry troops who were chasing after him were the deadliest existence.

Ye Jiduodi wanted Tan Daocheng to prepare for a strong attack, and he didn’t want to spend much time on the road for this, so as to give the Huaidong Army chasers a chance to get closer.

Tan Daocheng led the way, assembled a cavalry team on the front wing, and prepared for the charge. The carriages and horses here did not stop, but just slowed down at a slow speed-the main elites of the Huaidong Army followed, and they could not be tolerated at all. Delay time.

Yezier asked someone to lift the curtain of the car, leaned weakly in Yu Fei’s arms, looked at the green mountains and green forests outside the car, and soon came the noise of people and horses in front, and the hoofs of the cavalry speeding up were also very clear. It came—as if an increasingly urgent torrential rain was coming.

Concubine Yu asked Ye Jier to lean against her arms, and she leaned against the wall of the carriage, listening to the force of the horse team’s charge, the ground trembled slightly, and other women would also be deterred by the charge of blood and fire In her mind, she couldn’t help but scream: Dayan’s cavalry was so sharp, how could it be defeated so thoroughly?

Hearing someone in front of him pass a message: “The battle is over, the Taihang bandits don’t know what’s wrong, they pulled people to the edge of the galloping road, and they want to intercept us in the open…”

Before these words could be said, a dull thunder sounded next to the ground. Concubine Yu didn’t know what was going on when she saw Ye Jiduo’s body was frozen as if struck by thunder, and her muscles and bones were all over the place. The meat seemed to be tensed up at the moment of hearing the thunder and never let up again!

“This is the Huaidong Fu Fire Crossbow?” Ye Jier asked Ye Jiduo with a voice so weak that he could hardly hear it.

Ye Jiduo nodded desperately. He thought it would not be a problem to rob the Taihang bandits. When he heard the sound of a tight shelling, he knew that he had made a big mistake. There’s no room for him to turn back.

Taixing bandits equipped with fire crossbows are definitely not the scattered soldiers he imagined before…

Yezier seemed to have exhausted all his strength with this question, his head was tilted down, and there was a trace of remnants in his nostrils.

*****************

The first to enter the battlefield was Luo Shoushan, the first brigade of the independent town division of Taihang Mountains. After entering a shallow ditch, they formed an array and forced the road across Zhendingfu from the right flank. main channel. The shallow ditch was filled with water, but it was only three to five feet deep, which was not enough to block the impact of the captive cavalry, but it was better than nothing. In addition, on both sides of the shallow ditch, countless criss-crossing iron wires were urgently pulled out to buffer the impact of the captive cavalry.

Later, when the main force of the Huaidong Army was in pursuit, the captive cavalry who fled south in a hurry did not have enough time to choose a battlefield that was more favorable to them, so they could only bite the bullet and break through from the front.

In fact, as long as the independent town division of the Taihang Mountains can drag the captive soldiers who fled south for a long time, and drag the main force of the Huaidong Army behind to catch up, it will be a victory.

Twenty light artillery pieces were dragged directly into the shallow ditch. Before the muzzle was adjusted, the front wings of the cavalry began to charge, and more than a thousand cavalry formed a huge cone and stabbed straight, which was nearly two miles wide. Just as the horses in front of him stepped into the shallow ditch, the first artillery was lit and fired, and the spray of lead shot covered all the current riders. , or fell into a shallow ditch, splashed with mud and water – the rather large warhorse suddenly fell to the ground without reducing its momentum, and the huge force suddenly broke several iron wires…

The rest of the cannons were fired right after, forming a barrage like a giant current of steel, tearing the front wing of the captive tore a gap made of blood and flesh, and the front wing bombarded twenty artillery pieces at such a close distance. Hundreds of cavalrymen were either dead or disabled, and their front wing charge formation was immediately dispersed.

Although some cavaliers crossed the shallow ditch from the flank covered by the shelling to kill, the impact has been weakened to the extreme, and the number of people is small. Twenty light guns were protected on the inside.

Soon, under the leadership of Wu Jingze, the second and third brigades of the independent town division of Taihang Mountain rushed out from the mountains and forests that were ambushed on the flanks, crossed the ground more than ten miles deep, and rushed to the battlefield from the right flank, trying to attack the captured soldiers. flanks. In the forest at the western foot of the Taihang Mountains, which is a little deeper in the Taihang Mountains, the other two Taihang Mountains resistance forces of nearly 20,000 people rushed out of the mountains to participate in the interception battle after receiving notices from Wei Zhonglong and Wu Jingze.

The battle ended in the afternoon. The Taihang Mountains Resistance Army headed by the independent town division had nearly 30,000 troops entering the battlefield north of Yixian County. Leopard led the second and third brigades of the first jockey to attack from the rear wing, and Zhang Gou’s 4,000 elites were also rushing forward. The battlefield in the north of Yixian County was less than 30 miles away…

Concubine Yu was holding Ye Ji’er’s already cold and stiff corpse, and the Huaidong Army’s shouts were so close that you could hear what they were shouting: “Catch Ye Ji’er alive, capture Mei Yufei alive…”

Only then did Concubine Yu know that they knew their whereabouts. The Huaidong Army who was ambushing them had already seen it clearly, otherwise they would not have easily let the Queen Mother’s convoy pass by; she lifted the curtain of the car and saw a group of Huaidong Army generals on the left flank. The pawns rushed over from the diagonal, and the thin team of cavalry on the left flank couldn’t stop it for long~www.mtlnovel.com~ was torn apart, and it was divided to fight alone.

A gust of wind rushed in from the door of the car, and Concubine Yu turned her head to see that the forbidden camp was covered in blood, and all Tan Daocheng got into the car. She was desperate and didn’t want to ask how the battle was going, so she watched Tan Daocheng carry Ye Jier’s body behind her back. , and tie it firmly with straps.

“Concubine Yu!” Tan Daocheng glanced back and whispered. Concubine Yu’s face was so beautiful that he couldn’t be ruthless…

“Please complete General Tan!” Concubine Yu knew that Tan Daocheng, Ye Jiduodi and the others were scattered to break through, and it was impossible to take her as a burden, and they would not allow themselves to fall into the hands of Huaidong Army and be humiliated. She straightened her clothes, watched Tan Daocheng pull out his knife, closed her eyes calmly and waited for him to kill her.

Maybe it was a moment, maybe it was a long time, Yu Fei didn’t see the cold blade smearing her neck, but a hot blood splashed on her face first. Concubine Yu opened her eyes, only to see Tan Daocheng twisting his head in shock, a lance stabbed in from his back and out of his chest…

And almost at the same time, a sad cry came from the palace of Jiangning City: “The emperor has died!”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan broke out of the Gantai Palace where Emperor Yongxing was sleeping after his illness. He walked around outside the hall with his hair disheveled. of……

Liu Zhi, who came to hear the news, ignored Zhang Yan, who had lost his mind and was crazy, and just ordered the palace attendant to detain Zhang Yan so that he would not make trouble. He did not mean to embarrass the former boss, but went to the palace to see Emperor Yongxing.

Soon Lin Xuwen, Lin Tingli, Hu Wenmu, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingxuan and others came to the palace to confirm that Emperor Yongxing had been seriously ill for so long and could not survive today’s death… My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
