The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 347
When Ning Yuezhao exclaimed, Lan Yu happened to be looking this way too.

She raised her hand to signal the guards to let her go, and Lan Yu shouted loudly while striding forward: "Don't rush to settle down, this barracks is weird!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around Ning Yuezhao pulled out their swords and looked around vigilantly. Xiao Jingtian also held down the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Lan Yu walked up to Ning Yuezhao, "A few days ago, that witch in Nanyu Country had people bury several jars in the barracks. Today they retreated so simply, there is no guarantee there is no conspiracy!"

Thinking of Qu You's weirdness, Ning Yuezhao immediately ordered people to search the entire camp.

Soon, every place in the barracks where the ground had loosened was turned over.

Sure enough, about a dozen porcelain jars that Lan Yu mentioned were dug out, some of which had been shattered by the bombardment of the Hongyimen cannon.

Before Ning Yuezhao approached, she frowned and covered her nose, "Well, this is what I smelled just now!"

Xiao Jingtian also covered his mouth with his sleeves, "What is this?"

Lan Yu waved his hand solemnly, motioning for everyone to back away. He bent down and carefully looked at the bottles and jars.

"There's some gas in there, and I can feel like they're alive."

Ning Yuezhao's frown deepened, "Could it be Gu poison again? Or is it Nanyu Kingdom's head lowering technique?"

Lan Yu shook his head, "The so-called head lowering technique actually comes from the same line as my Miao people's Gu poison, but they like to exaggerate and talk about it."

Ning Yuezhao ordered: "Find another place to camp, and burn this place down!"

No matter what it is, burn it clean to avoid future troubles!
-

Before dusk fell, they finally found a suitable place to camp, and smoke rose from the barracks.

Ning Yuezhao stood outside the big tent. Her camp was located on a higher terrain. In addition to seeing the orderly coming and going of the army officers and soldiers, she could also see the billowing smoke in the distance.

Xiao Jingtian walked to her side, "The sentinel has already reached the place where the people of Beiqi are hiding temporarily, take a rest tonight, and pursue the victory tomorrow!"

Ning Yuezhao was slightly worried, "I always feel that today's events are weird. Why did the Beiqi people escape so quickly? According to my observations, they haven't reached the point of being defeated."

Xiao Jingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think?"

Ning Yuezhao squinted her eyes, "The pursuit will be postponed. I have already ordered someone to tell Fu Liao to come. We have to confirm that the soldiers in the army, especially those who have been in contact with those jars, must make sure that they are safe."

Xiao Jingtian said with a little dissatisfaction: "This will delay the opportunity of the battle. I thought they would be fine."

After a pause, he persuaded earnestly: "I know that His Majesty is sympathetic to the soldiers, but Lan Yu has seen all of them, and the military doctor has also checked the lieutenant soldiers. Everything is fine. I do not agree with you to suspend the pursuit of Bei Qi. Things."

Xiao Jingtian hadn't contradicted her intentions for a long time. Ning Yuezhao looked at him sideways, with a smile on his lips, "There must be monsters in every abnormality. We have been dealing with Bei Qi for so many years. Could it be that there are only a few days left?"

He really wanted to refute her, sometimes the chance of fighting is fleeting, but when he met her calm and smiling eyes, he finally chose to believe her judgment.

It's a pity that the reality didn't give them much space after all. Just after nightfall on the second day, a group of Beiqi soldiers appeared from the northwest corner without warning and forcibly attacked the camp.

The well-trained soldiers of the Western Army skillfully lined up to kill the enemy, but they soon discovered that this group of people dressed as Beiqi soldiers were not only ruthless, but also invulnerable. They were clearly the Nanyu Kingdom controlled by Qu You. Holy Army!
Sure enough, there is a conspiracy for the Beiqi people to retreat after a fight!
After hearing the soldier's report, Xiao Jingtian held the hilt of his sword in his hand, and ordered to dispatch the troops in the army with a serious expression. He planned to stop the mysterious army himself.

Before leaving, he turned to look at Ning Yuezhao, "You and Lan Yu take the imperial army back to Tongcheng to avoid it, it's too dangerous here."

It can be seen from his cautious tone that he is not sure whether he can win this time.

Ning Yuezhao took a deep look at him, "Don't be head-on, it's Beiqi's territory anyway, and the future will last forever."

Xiao Jingtian looked at her suspiciously, "It's not easy for us to get to where we are today, let alone..."

What's more, Jiang Nian sneaked into the depths of Beiqi territory alone, isn't she in a hurry to join him?
Ning Yuezhao pursed her lips, "I'm not absolutely sure, if you believe in me, just do what I say."

Xiao Jingtian clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, suppressed the urge to rush over and hug her, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Ning Yuezhao selected [-] forbidden troops, and the command of the rest of the troops was handed over to Xiao Jingtian.

These [-] imperial troops are all light cavalry. After a period of battlefield experience, all of them are good fighters with one as ten.But their breakout process was not smooth. Not long after the barracks were cleared, soldiers from Beiqi rushed out from the front, forming a three-sided encirclement.

There are black soldiers blocking the way in front of the road, and there are strange holy troops from Nanyu Kingdom in the back. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are surrounded by all sides!
"Your Majesty, there are about 1 troops in Beiqi ahead, and the leading general is Gu Ming, the son of Gu Xin!"

Ning Yue Zhaoyu immediately went to a high ground, and held up the binoculars to look at it for a while, "According to the direction in which Beiqi's army fled yesterday, the southeast should be the weak area of ​​their encirclement. Let's break through from there."

Fang Weitang looked at Ning Yuezhao in astonishment, "Your Majesty, the ground in the southeast is rugged and rocky, and we are all cavalry, which is extremely unfavorable to us!"

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "Let's die and survive, we have no other way out!"

She divided the men and horses under her into two parts, one part confronted head-on, and the other part was led by herself to break through from the southeast.

Some of the cavalry in the imperial army led by her were equipped with blunderbusses, a weapon that the people of Beiqi had never seen before.

Under the attack of powerful firearms, the gap in the southeast was forcibly opened.

When the steel bullets were exhausted, Ning Yuezhao immediately set up his bow, and the bowstring was drawn as full as a full moon, and he crossed thousands of troops and aimed at Gu Ming who was riding on the horse.

The arrow was like a shooting star, and it shot into Gu Ming's shoulder with precision. The leading general was injured, causing a commotion among the Bei Qi army.

Ning Yuezhao and her guards of the Imperial Army broke out towards the southeast gap while fighting. Although Gu Ming was injured, he frowned slightly and broke the exposed arrow body. Regardless of the bleeding wound, he said fiercely: "Chasing!"

Ning Yuezhao and the Imperial Army did not go smoothly on the rugged road full of strange rocks.However, no one in the team complained of suffering. Everyone knew that this was a time of life and death, and there was no room for negotiation.

However, Gu Ming was wounded on his shoulder, and his blood flow accelerated under the horseback riding. After a while, black blood oozes from the wound on his shoulder, and he fell down powerlessly.

"General!"

Gu Ming's vision was blurred, and he felt that the distance between himself and Empress Daxing was getting bigger and bigger.

"Continue..." He grew his mouth and wanted to order the team to continue chasing, but he couldn't say the last word "chasing".

Gu Ming's deputy general, his younger sister Gu Ya handed over his elder brother to several soldiers with strong martial arts skills, "Escort the general back to the camp for treatment, the others and the general will continue to chase!"

Although my side has lost more than a thousand people, the number is still more than the other side. No matter what, Empress Daxing can't escape under her nose. She wants to capture this woman alive with her own hands, and torture her so much that her life is worse than death, to avenge her father !

Even people from Beiqi seldom set foot in this area. At first, they could barely ride horses and stumble forward. Later, the ground for walking became narrower and narrower, and the sky was not beautiful. Snow fell, and the vast snow blocked the sight.

"Lieutenant General, I can't see the way forward. We didn't bring enough food and grass when we came out this time. It might be bad for us to continue to pursue!"

Some soldiers braved the wind and snow, their teeth chattering authentically.

How could Gu Ya not know this truth, at first the brothers and sisters thought that they would soon be able to win Empress Daxing, who knew it would be so difficult.

Now I don't know the situation when I go forward, and if I go back, I can't see the way.

Gu Ya raised her sleeves to wipe off the snowflakes on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "Rest where you are, the snow won't last long."

In any case, at this point, she didn't want to back down.

The situation on Ning Yuezhao's side was not much better, the soldiers only brought two days' worth of dry food with them.Fortunately, when Jiang Nian arrived in the Northwest earlier, he had prepared many improved Sinan in the army.At that time, the lieutenants and soldiers of the Northwest Army were still laughing secretly, what do the army want this thing for?

Now in the vast snowstorm, they rely on Sinan to identify the direction.

At that time, Jiang Nian said to Ning Yuezhao, "Semu people use the improved Sinan to sail to find new continents, but we use it to look at Fengshui, what a waste of everything!"

Now it seems that Jiang Nian is quite prescient.There was a war here, and she decided to take a walk to the south with him, drink a pot of Biluochun from West Lake, and watch a picturesque misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

After the snow stopped, they walked hard for a while, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they walked out of this rugged area.

The snow buried their footprints, and after Gu Ya and the others searched for a while without a head, they had to turn back on the difficult road, and then thought about stopping them from other paths.

Fang Weitang said worriedly: "Your Majesty, we came out this time with light clothes, and I'm afraid we will sleep in the wild tonight..."

For men like them, sleeping out for a night is nothing, but His Majesty is a woman, and she grew up in rich clothes and fine clothes...

Reading Fang Weitang's unfinished meaning, Ning Yuezhao leaned on the red-maned horse, and said calmly: "The people of Beiqi will probably find a way to intercept us from other routes. Let's rest for a while and drive overnight. At the current speed, the fastest It will arrive outside Tongcheng in the early morning of tomorrow."

There was obviously a look of exhaustion between the brows, but the eyes were still firm and energetic. Seeing Ning Yuezhao like this, the imperial guards were immediately refreshed, and they rushed on the road with 12 points of energy.

Finally, when the sky was getting dark, they saw the city walls of Tongcheng in the faint morning light.

The imperial guards were almost exhausted, and they almost sat down on the spot.

In order not to disturb the people, after contacting the defenders outside the city, they increased their tents on the spot and stationed outside the city to rest.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Ji, who was originally staying in Tongcheng to preside over the situation, came to see Ning Yuezhao in a hurry after receiving the news.

Ning Yuezhao raised her hand to signal him, "It's an extraordinary time, so there's no need to be too polite."

The battle report that Lu Ji received before was that the Beiqi camp had been captured, but now that Ning Yuezhao came back in embarrassment alone with more than a thousand troops, he must have encountered a force majeure change.

After Ning Yuezhao briefly told Lu Ji what happened, he couldn't help frowning.

"We don't have much time, you immediately lead someone to follow my orders!"

　I will give you another chapter tonight.

　　We have entered the final stage, but we have encountered various things again, so I am sorry everyone.
