The devil is coming

Chapter 977 Decisive Battle!
The blood of 50 Chu elites,
into my inkstone,
Polish my pen.
In these words, I really didn’t make any plans, nor did I deliberately elevate anything;
It was purely because what the old man said was too ridiculous and absurd. Even before listening to the show, Zheng Fan had not expected that it would be such a low-level and heartbreaking persuasion.
Therefore, this response is also completely casual.
The blind man made seals with his hands, and the mental storm was released. In an instant, the white mist on the old man's body dissipated, and he fainted. The three singing girls who didn't know what was going on hurriedly went to look after the old man.
They are just microphones, and even they themselves don't know what they are here to do.
Zheng Fan sighed,
Looking at Siniang,
asked;
"It stands to reason that I should be more arrogant at this moment, but I always feel that it is a little bit forced."
Si Niang smiled charmingly and said, "My Lord, I should say this at night."
The blind man and A Ming beside him unconsciously turned their heads away, pretending not to hear anything.
Some jokes can be made freely, but some jokes must not be participated in, otherwise, there is really no hope for the third grade.
To his wife, the prince did not feel offended by these words, but said:
"There's nothing I can do about it. It's my responsibility. Even if I can't do it, I can still force myself to do it. After all, that's what I should do, right?"
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Hahaha."
So much for the old couple’s banter;
Zheng Fan twisted his neck and opened his arms.
Road:
"No more armor, let's wear royal clothes."
According to the Yan system, when a person is conferred a title, he will often bring the corresponding court uniform, which is the formal attire required for major ceremonial occasions. For ordinary nobles, this set of clothes is a family heirloom and is extremely sacred. .
Zheng Fan naturally has it too;
From the time when the late emperor conferred him the title of Ping Ye Bo to Ping Xi Hou, every time he was canonized, the eunuch who announced the decree would bring court clothes. A set of clothes here does not refer to just "one piece", but several pieces according to the time and occasion. need.
When he was appointed regent, Ji Laoliu also asked the Xiuyi Palace in the palace to design a set specially for him;
It's just that Zheng Fan has no shortage of clothes because he has his fourth mother by his side. In addition, the more noble court clothes are full of meaning and nobility, so the comfort level is very poor.
Therefore, the various python robes and other things that Zheng Fan wears in daily life are all woven and embroidered by Siniang for him;
Fitted, comfortable, breathable, and of course, not lacking in elegance.
“I used to feel that things like etiquette were a burden; formal things were a burden;
Now that I think about it, I was still too young, tired and burdened. Sometimes I had to take the initiative to shoulder the burden. This is really not easy.
these years,
Along the way,
I have told too many lies, perhaps made many great ambitions, and deceived many people;
But for those who were deceived by me, even if they were enemies, many of them were actually deceived willingly.
It is almost obvious that I have a traitor in the back of my head;
I just woke up in the first two years, and I thought my acting skills were superb, but in fact I was very raw.
The late Emperor once gave me a sign asking me to go to Huxin Pavilion to see the Third Prince when I had nothing to do;
The old King of Zhenbei treated me to a roast leg of lamb in the imperial garden and asked me questions. I thought I had answered well, but he immediately wanted me to return to the Zhenbei Army?
Are you really just looking down on me because I am from Beifeng County?
At the beginning, Lao Tian was also deliberately trying to temper my temper.
Ha ha,
We are all foxes for thousands of years, but I drag them to chat about chatting like a show off;
After I sat on the throne, I looked back and realized that I was still a little young back then.
Thanks to them for not killing me back then,
Today I am Zheng Fan,
Give the late emperor some face,
Give the old Zhenbei King some face,
Give face to Yan Dierlang, who has followed me through life and death over the years,
To this big swallow,
A face! "
Siniang came over with royal clothes and helped Zheng Fan change.
The regent's royal robe has long been separated from the domain of the feudal king's python robe. In terms of standards, most of them follow the regulations of Dayan's dragon robe. Ji Laoliu, who is even willing to sit on the dragon chair, will naturally not be stingy with one. clothing.
The main body of the king's uniform is black, embroidered with a golden dragon, and matched with the crown, it exudes a sense of majesty.
However, although people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, they refer to bright and beautiful clothes, such as python robes and dragon robes. On the contrary, they need the wearer's own aura to support them, otherwise it will easily have the opposite effect. .
"how?"
Zheng Fan looked at Siniang and asked.
"Majestic and solemn." Siniang replied seriously, "My husband is a true king."
Si Niang took two steps back and looked at her man carefully.
I still remember that in order to help Zheng Fan advance as early as possible, Siniang used her hands to stimulate him;
At that time, he was actually very wary and wary of the Demon King and the world, and he often forced himself to stay calm.
right now,
This little man of his has finally completed his transformation and precipitation in middle age, and Siniang also feels an indescribable satisfaction in her heart.
It seems like it all happened overnight, and it seems like every little change over the years is so real.
She has never denied her indifference to the relationship between men and women.
Even after her son was born, she would be annoyed;
Maybe,
husband and wife,
It is such a kind of companionship. Just saying that we grow old together is too simple and pale;
True compatibility and cohesion come more from the fusion and harmony of souls.
Pixiu, who was originally crawling next to him, slowly raised his head when he saw Zheng Fan changing into his royal robes, and his big eyes seemed to light up.
"Ah Ming, knife."
"Yes."
A Ming handed Wu Ya over;
Wearing the regent's clothes and holding a knife, it felt like he stood up instantly.
outside,
The royal guards are ready.
When Zheng Fan came out, Eunuch Huang, who had been standing by for a long time, was startled. He had heard the shouts and movements outside, and combined with the foreshadowing of the Yan army's continuous retreat to Zhennanguan in the past few days, he, as the supervisor of the army, was The eunuch was also extremely uneasy.
He knows that he is a mascot most of the time, but as a mascot, he is also afraid that he will not work this time.
But when I saw the regent coming out in royal attire,
Eunuch Huang's restless heart seemed to be soothed at this moment;
Then he muttered a taboo word in his heart, and when he saw the regent, it was just like when he saw the late emperor. It seemed that no matter how dangerous the situation was, it was no big deal.
Pixiu came out from behind, with four hooves firmly stepping on the green bricks, trying his best to make his posture appear more heroic;
Then,
The body trembled,
From its back, a layer of delicate and shiny black scales lay down, covering its whole body;
Two hot breaths were also exhaled from his nostrils, showing the full demeanor of a mythical beast.
Zheng Fan walked towards Pixiu,
Pixiu, who was still immersed in showing off his beautiful emotions, sensed the gaze from his master and silently knelt down.
Zheng Fan held up his palms and turned over to sit down.
Pixiu stood up and let out a low groan:
"Roar!"
The mane on his body also began to spread out.
The royal guards mounted their horses one after another;
Pixiu took a step forward and walked out of the Zhennan Pass General Military Mansion.
To ordinary people, the pure-blooded Pixiu has its own sense of mystery and solemnity. What's more, the prince, who is more respected and fanatical than Pixiu, is sitting on its back.
There were many civilians on both sides of the street, subconsciously stopping;
There were also wounded soldiers who had just been transported from the front line, silently clenching their fists and placing them on their chests.
The prince did not stop to say anything to them,
I don’t know since when,
He no longer liked giving lectures or lecturing.
in memory,
The last time we did serious pre-war mobilization was during the Qian Kingdom.
Please, all of you, die for me;
Then, eight thousand cavalry went to their deaths to clear the way.
This is a knot that has always been tied in Zheng Fan's heart.
In the past, I might have felt that by boosting morale before the war, all I needed to do was win the war, and everything would be worth it.
And he is always winning battles. As long as he can win, he can do anything.
That battle was also won, after all, the country of Qian was brought to Beijing;
But for that local battle,
These soldiers who went to die did not defeat the enemy in front of them, and they did not happily celebrate after the lifting of the prohibition on alcohol after the war, drinking wine and holding up the enemy's helmet;
They just opened a way for themselves to escape.
Of course, this is not the main reason.
Zheng Fan is a moral person, but most of the time his morality is just for his own comfort, to cover himself up against the cold;
When you don't need it, you can throw it on the ground without any scruples, and the ground won't get dirty.
No more pre-battle lectures.
It's because there is no need to do this anymore.
I still remember when I followed Tian Wujing on the expedition, that figure wearing gilt armor and riding a brave man was followed by thousands of troops and horses;
No words are needed,
He mobilized his mount and began to charge,
One hundred thousand cavalry behind him will naturally follow closely and crush all previous enemies!
At that time, Zheng Fan felt that this was because Lao Tian himself was a top martial artist, and because he was very strong, he dared to charge at the forefront;
After waiting,
Zheng Fan gradually came to his senses.
It’s not because Lao Tian was the first one to achieve this effect.
In fact,
This has nothing to do with whether he is the first, whether he is in the middle, or whether he stays behind.
The soldiers only need to know that he is here and King Jingnan is here, that is enough.
They are willing to do whatever it takes to defeat the enemy and save their prince from even having to draw his sword. This is their belief and their fanaticism.
Liu Dahu raised his arms,
The guards in brocade robes at the front on both sides raised the flags.
The black dragon flag of Dayan, the double-headed eagle flag of the Shanxi Eastern Army, plus the regent's own banner.
Liu Dahu drew out his sword again and raised it horizontally.
The rest of the bodyguards in brocade robes all drew their swords and raised them at their sides.
The team still keeps moving forward, but the suffocating atmosphere has arrived, just like the unbearable sweltering heat before a storm, making people can't help but look forward to the next thunder.
The city wall where the fierce battle was taking place was getting closer and closer, and there were more and more auxiliary soldiers, civilians, and soldiers waiting to be replaced in battle.
The Chu people's last offensive had just ended, and many people were gasping for breath.
then,
They saw their prince riding a brave horse at the forefront, and behind him were the prince's soldiers in brocade clothes;
The soldiers put their fists on their chests and armors one after another. According to the military code of Eastern Jin Dynasty and the military code of Dayan Dynasty, there is no need to salute during war.
However, there were still many less experienced auxiliary soldiers and civilians who followed their instincts and knelt down.
On the city wall, Xue San, who was sitting with Fan Li and drinking water, swung his three legs and looked this way.
Third Master reached out and poked Fan Li's arm.
road;
"No, my lord, I have really become your lord."
Fan Li glanced at Xue San and said nothing.
"He is becoming more and more like us, the king, the devil." Xue San continued.
Fan Li rolled his eyes.
Road:
"He is our father."
Does your dad look like you?
Xue San frowned. He couldn't refute, because theoretically, Fan Li was right.
But the third master immediately realized something,
Road:
"Hey, I never thought you could say something like that."
……
below,
A Ming, who was riding beside the prince, was raising his head and looking up to the sky.
There were several falcons circling in the sky;
In fact, the efficiency of flying pigeons to send messages is very low, far worse than the eight-hundred-mile expedited journey; this falcon message is better than flying pigeons to send messages, but it is also useless.
Because the best way to use it is to quickly deliver military orders when communication is inconvenient on local battlefields, and this military order must be extremely concise.
In the current situation, the Chu army was attacking the city, and the two armies of the Zhennanguan Pass were also fighting. The Chu army almost covered the entire battlefield in a mostly circular manner.
The scouts and light cavalry on both sides were engaged in extremely brutal fighting and exhaustion.
Therefore, it is extremely suitable to use trained falcons to convey military orders.
"Your Majesty, the Yingdu Yan camp and the Jin camp are in place."
"The Litian Yan camp and the Jin camp are in place."
"Quhe is in position."
"The imperial guards of the capital are in place."
The number of troops sent by the imperial court this time was 23.
This is the first batch of soldiers and horses entering Shanxi Province, not all of them, because in the original strategic plan, this was a protracted war, so there will be more reinforcements and more civilians in the future.
The [-] imperial guardsmen who came from the capital were elite members sent over by Ji Laoliu. The imperial guardsmen in the middle of the capital had just started training in recent years and their background was not yet deep. However, despite this, Ji Laoliu was still generous.
The remaining 20 soldiers were organized as Yan camp and Jin camp soldiers sent from the three major directions of Jin. They were all regular soldiers, that is, they had complete soldiers and armor, and most of them were veterans who had experienced the last Yan-Chu national war.
War will destroy the army, but war can also train the army. Veterans can be said to be a guarantee for the combat effectiveness of an army.
As a vampire, A Ming had very good eyesight. At this time, he was still searching in the air with his own eyes.
quickly,
He opened his mouth and said:
"Li Chenghui has taken over."
"The golden technique is in place."
The real main force of the Shandong Army was in position.
Moreover, these armies had been lurking to the east, west and north of Zhennanguan a long time ago. They were eating and drinking well and recharging their energy. It could be said that they were sharpening their swords.
Even, eager to fight.
It was as if they were seeing their prey right in front of them, but they were chained up by a group of wolf dogs. They were already struggling wildly and roaring, and there was an unknown amount of drool dripping from the corners of their mouths. If they could really appear, the ground would be A big pool has to be accumulated.
But the person locked up for them was the regent of Dayan. They could not make mistakes, and they did not dare to make mistakes. It would be impossible to rush into the attack with eagerness for success.
In eastern Shanxi,
Do not,
In the entire Yan army,
No one dares to disobey the military order from the regent!
This is status,
This is the platoon.
Restraining hundreds of thousands of ordinary people is already a huge headache. Restraining hundreds of thousands of Qiu Ba, who has gone to battle and killed people, is even more difficult.
Therefore, the Gan people will be extremely painful after losing Mr. Thorny Face and then losing Mr. Zhong, because even if they can gather a large army, there is no one who can come forward to control them in a serious manner;
Therefore, the Chu people would be extremely embarrassed after losing Zhu Guo and generals one after another. This is not something that the imperial court or the emperor can do immediately by giving Shang Fang a sword or something;
Qiu Ba, who lives his life with his head tied around his belt, is so red-eyed that he can even deny the emperor!
Therefore, a military god is really the most important thing for a country, the most precious among precious things.
Zheng Fan pointed forward,
road;
"Open the gate."
"Your Majesty has an order, open the city gate!"
"Pass the prince's order to open the city gate!!"
"Wang ordered, open the city gate!"
The city gate of Zhennanguan was opened.
The Chu army, which had just finished a round of offensive with no results and was retreating to prepare for the next round of offensive, was a little confused. It was understandable that the Yan army went out of the city to rush and kill when they attacked the city before. Now, what are the Yan people going to do?
far away,
Xiong Tingshan, who was standing on the camp commanding the war, suddenly felt the pain in his broken arm begin to sting again after seeing this scene.
A feeling of panic and uneasiness is coming over me.
Next, the defenders in the city, including infantry and cavalry, came out of the city and began to form formations.
The Chu army, which had originally planned to take a breather, faced this situation and began to reorganize under the organization of their respective generals. As the siege party, they had suffered enough from Zhennanguan City's high city and abundant defensive ordnance, unless Ordered from above, otherwise they would of course prefer that the defenders could come out on their own.
Zheng Fan rode Pixiu out of the city gate.
The cold wind roared through thousands of troops and horses, but here, it became docile;
That royal black robe that exuded nobility,
Not even the sleeves were blown up at all.
Zheng Fan looked at the invisible Chu army in front of him.
Suddenly,
There seemed to be a shadow of a fire phoenix, spreading its wings from the front and neighing at him.
Even if you talk about things like Qi Refiners, you can't escape the saying: If you believe it, there will be it. If you don't believe it, there will be nothing.
But even if something has existed for so long, there is always a little bit of truth to it;
For example, the fire phoenix that appeared in Zheng Fan's field of vision at this moment,
It can not exist, and it can exist;
It may even be just a figment of his own mind...the incarnation of the national destiny of Great Chu.
It's roaring,
It's roaring,
Endless flames poured down from his body.
If someone stood in front of the prince at this time and looked back, he might be able to see the reflection of the light and fire in the prince's eyes.
The Pixiu under his crotch also rarely showed any frivolous expression, as if his natural enemy was right in front of him, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Quick, quick, quick, don't you want to cut off this dragon vein? Show it to me. I'll wait and see."
"My family has a poor foundation. We only have a leg of lamb. We already don't have enough to eat. What's the point of fighting over it?"
"In my opinion, the iron cavalry in the world can be divided into two categories. One type is my Dayan cavalry; the other type is not mentioned."
"Brother Zheng, my brother and I have a great time killing each other this time!"
"Mr. Zheng, come here and let's sit on the dragon chair together."
……
"Ha ha."
Zheng Fan closed his eyes,
slowly opened again,
From the scabbard, Wu Ya was slowly pulled out,
immediately,
Cut forward!
In an instant,
A silent scream sounded, as if it resounded through half of the sky, and the flames in the prince's eyes were extinguished.
next moment,
Rhythmic roaring sounds came from all directions,
black clouds,
Begins to sweep everything...as far as the eye can see!
