A wave of heat rushed over, and the people outside the city gate retreated again and again, but they were startled by the scene in front of them. Although just now when he was outside the city, he had already noticed that the flames had turned half of the sky red, but he didn't want to see such a scene in the city.

Everywhere in the city was still burning, and a strong smell of tung oil came over.

Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng came up from behind on horseback, their brows were tightly frowned, Liu Yinfeng looked at the situation in the city, and said lightly, "It seems that Luo Qingyan not only wants us to get out of here Get anything, but want to use this to block our way, look at this tung oil, I'm afraid it will burn for a day and a night."

Xia Houyan tightly pursed his lips and did not speak, but there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.

Not long after, the spies who went to inquire hurriedly came back, "Report to the prince, report to the army division, the Ning army has retreated to the north of the Jing River, and the bridge has been destroyed."

Liu Yinfeng nodded, "This is the only bridge on the Jing River, and it has been destroyed now. If you want to get across, I'm afraid it will take some effort. Bring thousands of people to cut down some trees and make some rafts first."

Xia Houyan's eyes were deep, "Does the military division want to cross the river with a raft?"

"This is the only plan for the present. In order to avoid the soldiers who forcibly cross the river from being robbed and killed, there must be more rafts. Soldiers who can swim are sent into the water, and they can take a wooden bridge wide enough to facilitate the passage of the army." Liu Yinfeng After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice, "Prince Jing married a good concubine. This kind of mental strategy is not bad at all. Last time, we stumbled for a while, but this time we lost a hundred thousand soldiers. Helped Prince Jing once more invisibly."

"Report! Duke Hua please see me." A voice came from a distance, Xia Houyan snorted coldly, and raised his voice, "Please."

However, Duke Hua did not ride a horse. He strolled up to Xia Houyan's horse, clasped his hands and said, "Prince, it's cold. Why don't your Highness and the military advisor go to the camp outside Jingyang City to escape the cold?"

Xia Houyan opened his mouth, and was about to scold, but heard Liu Yinfeng speak lightly, "Your Majesty has not seen you for a long time, since that's the case, I will follow you to the camp with the Prince."

Xia Houyan heard a low voice coming from beside him, "Prince, no."

Xia Houyan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and nodded, "Mr. Hua still leads the way?"

Duke Hua raised his eyebrows, and in response, he led Xia Houyan's horse and left the army, leading hundreds of guards towards the camp. When we arrived at the camp, it was already dawn, Duke Hua ordered someone to pour tea for Xia Houyan and Liu Yinfeng, and then he said with a smile, "Your Highness suddenly abandoned Kangyang and came to Jingyang, why didn't you send a letter?" , I can also arrange for someone to respond."

"Hehe..." Xia Houyan smiled coldly, raised his eyes to look at Duke Hua, and then said, "Princess Ning Guojing is in Kangyang City, and that woman is not a vegetarian. I didn't get any bullying. The prince discussed with the military adviser, why not take advantage of the Ning army's unpreparedness to attack Jingyang and take Jingyang City, so that we can take care of it in the future, and it will be easier to fight Kangyang."

Hua Guogong pondered for a moment, looked at Xia Houyan indifferently, paused for a moment with the hand holding the tea, but only slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, "The prince is considerate."

Xia Houyan's smile also didn't reach his eyes, "Didn't the father ask General Lin Yulin to lead troops to attack Jingyang? Why did Duke Hua appear in the Jingyang army? The prince was also taken aback when he received the news." Surprised, the Duke of Hua has not led troops for a long time, and he did not know that General Lin has such a face, and the Duke of Lao Hua personally helped him."

Why can't Duke Hua hear the sarcasm in his words, but he just smiled lightly and said, "It's not that I came to lead soldiers to fight, but I miss the life in the camp. I was going back to Xia Kingdom a few days ago and happened to pass through Jingyang. Come and have a look."

Everyone was doing Tai Chi, Hua Guogong smiled, "The prince and the military adviser are marching rapidly, I think they must be very tired, why not take a rest first."

Xia Houyan had already stood up, "No, now that Jingyang City has been destroyed, and the enemy is outnumbered, it's a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. It's not time to rest." Then he said to his guard beside him, " Come, let General Lin come to see the prince." Then he left the tent.

Liu Yinfeng slowed down a few steps, raised his eyes and saluted Hua Guogong, "Before this time, I also stayed in the Duke's army for a while. Many, I am very grateful. Your Excellency has always been cautious in his words and deeds, but he was a little anxious about this matter, which made the Prince unhappy. Why should the Duke be like this? The world belongs to young people after all. None of this can be deciphered, I am afraid that Prince Jing is not worthy of the Duke's entrustment, why should the Duke be so troublesome..."

Hua Guogong slowly closed his eyes, and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, since Yinfeng has said so, what should I do? I still believe in his ability, but it is indeed me. Think too much."

Liu Yinfeng paused for a while, hooked the corners of his mouth, and then walked out of the tent.

The crown prince personally ordered the soldiers of the battalion to pursue the Ning army together. Lin Yu did not dare to resign. With so many people joining, the bamboo rafts were made very quickly. In the afternoon, they had already done a lot. He ordered people familiar with water to go into the water to connect and tie the bamboo rafts together to form a very wide bridge, and the soldiers began to cross the river by stepping on the bamboo rafts.

To the north of the Jing River, there are continuous mountains. Although the mountains are not high, they are covered by many trees, which are good for hiding. As Xia Jun planned to cross the river, many arrows flew out of the forest and shot towards Xia Jun on the bridge, causing countless casualties.

Xia Houyan's face turned cold, "Continue to cross the river. My Xia army has 650,000 people. The prince doesn't believe it. He can shoot them all. After crossing the river, the prince set fire to the mountain, making it impossible for him to fly!"

It's just that after crossing the river, the Xia army did suffer heavy losses. The original team of 650,000 people lost nearly 100,000. Liu Yinfeng guessed that there were not many arrows in the army. , I am afraid there are not many left.

The fire attack that Xia Houyan wanted could not be realized, because the forest was humid, so it was difficult to start the fire, but it was possible to use the thick smoke to force the enemy to show up, but unfortunately the south wind was blowing, if they set fire to the mountain, The only ones who will be harmed are themselves.

"Then what should we do, just wait like this?" Xia Houyan became a little irritable. He hurriedly abandoned Kangyang City and marched to Jingyang. He has not closed his eyes for two nights. The 150,000 troops, together with their own 400,000, would be able to annihilate all of the Xia army before the Ning army's reinforcements arrived, but unexpectedly, when they arrived in Jingyang, one situation after another appeared.

First of all, Princess Jing used some method to flood the Jinghe River, which had been dry for a long time. Not only did he drown a hundred thousand soldiers, but also gave Prince Jing a way out. Then King Jing set fire to Jingyang City, and now the fire in Jingyang City has not been extinguished, I am afraid that there will be nothing left after the burning. There was also Duke Hua watching in the camp. If he hadn't thought that Duke Hua had a high prestige in the army, his rash actions would cause riots among the soldiers. I'm afraid he would have tied up the old man long ago, but now he only Can send someone to watch and prevent him from sending out letters.

Liu Yinfeng was silent for a moment, walked back and forth several times in the temporary camp, and then said, "It's not impossible, Jingyang City is destroyed, and the people in Jingyang City are probably resettled by King Jing. We were able to find the place where the common people in Jingyang City were resettled, and it is not uncommon to use the common people as a threat."

"We just waited to find someone? What if we can't find someone?"

"I can't find it. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Jingyang City. With so many people, the target is not small. Moreover, the people are no more than soldiers. There are old and weak women and children. They can't walk too fast. They must be nearby. It should be It will be found soon. Moreover, Wei Chen just took a closer look. There are no other rivers and lakes in the vicinity of Jingyang except the Jing River. Most of the people in the city dig wells to get water. Now we are on the edge of the Jing River , there are so many people in the Ning army, and so many people, they must drink water, so we sent people to guard the banks of the Jing River, cut off their water source, and see how long they can last." Liu Yinfeng smiled lightly. But it makes people feel a little cold.

Xia Houyan laughed when he heard the words, "Hahaha, the prince has forgotten about it. Yes, everyone needs to drink water. I want to see how long he can last without water."

At this time, the 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yunshang had already approached Jingyang. Because he didn't know what was going on in Jingyang, Yunshang ordered to camp not far from Jingyang. One is just to send the hidden guards to find out about King Jing's situation, and the other is to wait for the reinforcements from behind.

"Princess, you have been walking back and forth in the camp for a long time, please sit and rest for a while." Qianyin said softly.

Yun Shang sighed, "Qianyin, I can't calm down, I can't even think about what Xia Jun will do, and how the prince will respond, I can't calm down at all."

Qianyin looked at Yunshang, also a little at a loss, she was just a secret guard, she was selected into the palace, and she had only been a palace maid for a few years, but she knew nothing about marching and fighting, so she was silent for a moment , then said, "Isn't the old gentleman brought by the prince in the camp? The prince treats him so courteously, and he should be capable. Why doesn't the princess ask him what he can do?"

Yun Chang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "By the way, why did I forget about Mr. Qingcang, quickly, bring the big cloak, and I'll pay a visit to Mr. Qingcang's camp."

When Yunshang arrived at the camp where Mr. Qingcang lived, Mr. Qingcang was playing chess with himself. When he saw Yunshang coming, he smiled and said, "I thought you should come too, sit and play with me." plate?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "I'm too confused now, and I don't have the mind to play chess."

"The hidden guards around you haven't returned yet, you don't even know what's going on in Jingyang, so what's the use of worrying." Then he dropped another son.

Yun Shang pondered for a moment but knew that Mr. Qingcang was telling the truth. No matter what, he had to wait for the news to make a decision. After thinking about it, he walked over, sat down, looked at the situation on the chessboard, and twisted A white stone is raised, and a stone is dropped.

Down and down, Yun Chang felt that her heart was much calmer. Before the game of chess was over, Qianyin came in, "Princess, the dark guard is back."\u003c
