Chapter 123 Deductions

Ten years, either dull or a blink of an eye. But for Zhao Linger and Dong Zhao, the grudges of these ten years were too long. Whenever they calmed down, they would always think of the pain they exerted on them.

Listening to Dong Zhao's statement, Qingyan did not find any gaps. After the dust settled, he smiled and said, "So many things have happened between you."

Before Dong Zhao could reply, he heard a blunt laugh outside the whistle tower.

"Hahaha... I finally know what Zhao Ling'er did to you! She actually wiped the soil that had just been fertilized on your whole body, hahaha..."

Qingyan took a lot of effort to stop Dong Zhao and persuaded anxiously: "Zhaoer, don't be impulsive. Didn't Dong Yan always do this? Even if he knows, so what if you can do it? You can still stab him with the sun."

"I just want to stab him! During these years, when he went to the side-by-side palace, he had helped me, his own sister. When he saw Zhao Ling'er, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he hid faster than anyone else. Now he dared to laugh at me!" Dong Zhao tried hard to break free from Qingyan's arms.

"Have you forgotten that he wanted to cast a halberd with his grandfather. The key point is on you. If you want to deal with him at that time, it is not easy to get rid of him."

Then Dong Zhao sat back and thrust on the fire.

"After that being said, you are really as the Prince of Lingnan said, and they are all vindictive. If one of them gave in, you might have become good friends long ago." Qingyan was a little sad.

"Go back? You didn't see her arrogant look at that time. The prince's daughter is amazing, the princess is amazing." Dong Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "I can recall the smell of the soil now, I just hate the lightness of my subordinates."

Qingyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No one of you can talk about anyone, you have to do it seriously enough. As the only two princesses in Nan Zhao, if outsiders know the grudges between you, it will not make people laugh."

"After all, it's a personal grudge and has nothing to do with the two royal palaces, so none of us has made any statements in the past years."

"But what I'm curious about is that with the temperament of the Prince of Lingnan, I didn't make a big fuss with the prince's mansion, which really surprised me."

Dong Zhao sighed and said, "It's not because of his friendship with the prince when he was young. It is said that the two knew each other before being princes, but I don't know what the details are. They all heard from the mother's mother."

"Every time I hear you mention the Princess of Lingnan, I always feel that she must be a very gentle and kind woman."

"Yes, in my heart, the mother and the princess side by side are the best women in the world." Dong Zhao's expression was as gentle as water.

"I heard from Dong Yan that the princess was seven years ago..." Qing Yan felt very regretful as soon as he said that.

Dong Zhao didn't care and still smiled and said, "You are not an outsider. Anyway, you will know these things sooner or later, so it's better to tell you together."

"My mother died of illness seven years ago. At that time, the father went out to war and did not see his wife for the last time. Although I knew that this was not his fault, I have never given him a good face over the years."

"Since you know, why do you still treat the prince like this?" Qing Yan was a little confused.

"Before going to the war, my mother was seriously ill. My father vowed to return to Guining within three months, but he broke his promise. It was half a year after he returned from triumphant return." Dong Zhao's voice was very soft, "This is the only time in my memory that my father did not comply with the agreement. After he came back, he sat in front of his mother's grave, without saying anything, without eating or drinking for seven days."

"Seven days? How can the prince's body bear it?"

Dong Zhao explained: "That's because the generals under his command, the generals led by Uncle Hu at that time, resolutely dragged their father back to the house despite the death order left by his father. Uncle Hu was also seriously injured by his father because of this matter and was in bed for more than a year before he recovered."

Thinking of making an appointment with Dong Polu in the tent, he also said at that time that he had to let one person down in his life, and it seemed that he was the Princess of Lingnan. Moreover, Chi Hu's loyalty and righteousness made Qing Yan admire him even more.

"The prince must have been heartbroken at that time, but his seven-foot body was already hard for the country to be granted."

"This sentence is quite appropriate, but I think that if a man fails his wife's wishes, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot be considered a good husband."

"Maybe..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two o'clock the next day, the Nanyi army heard a melodious sound of horns, and dozens of square formations slowly pushed towards Zhennan Pass.

The soldiers on the wall were already waiting for the battle, holding their breath and waiting for the order.

"How many troops will the enemy put into this time?"

"Reporting to the prince, the terrain under Zhennan Pass is undulating and not suitable for large-scale siege equipment movements. Moreover, the enemy's army did not make such a plan, but the number of ladders in the enemy is really amazing. If it is not expected, the first wave of offensives will not be just a test, and at least more than 20,000 troops will be invested."

Dong Polu smiled and said, "You are right. Nanyi Monkey has never changed its way of siege in recent years. It is always the trick of building a wall with a ladder."

"Although the Zhennan Pass wall is not as generous as Jinling, the number of defending the city is not small. When the enemy enters the range, it must do its best to delay its speed and maximize the power of long-range weapons." Qingyan stared at the enemy's increasingly closer enemy formation.

"It seems that the lush and green that has finally grown under this threshold will be burned again." The King of Lingnan ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Du Ming stood on a high wooden tower and looked at the Zhennan Pass wall. Seeing that the formation was arranged, he waved his arm down hard.

The flag bearer around him waved the order flag and played the flag words.

Here comes!

Several small square formations came out of the enemy formation, with Teng shield soldiers in front and crossbow soldiers behind. When these small formations advanced for a distance, a large number of swords and axes soldiers who were resisting the ladders also slowly moved forward.

When the huge crossbow of flying stones roared away on the wall, the enemy's speed suddenly accelerated. Even though a large number of soldiers fell down while moving forward, the pace was still firm.

When they arrived fifty feet outside the wall, Teng Duns soldiers slapped the long shield in their hands. Behind each row of pain-warming soldiers, there were a row of crossbowmen who alternated with each other. The latter found a gap and shot the crossbow arrows in his hands towards the wall without hesitation. For a moment, the flying arrows on the front and bottom of the wall were like locusts and were airtight, which made both sides unable to raise their heads.

Because the city wall of the west gate of Zhennanguan is concave, the enemy troops carrying cloud ladders arrive in front of the front and are divided into three teams, attacking the north and south sections of the gate wall and the main gate respectively.

‘swish’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’

The sound of swords being unsheathed was endless. Qingyan held Tianfeng Gui in his hand tightly and whispered: "Shi Zhan, after getting the enemy, you must lead the brothers to protect the prince. If the prince lacks a hair, I will ask you."

"But Your Highness..."

"No, but he is my future father-in-law. Whether I can happily marry my wife back home depends on you."

Seeing that Qingyan's eyes were firm, Shi Zhan stopped insisting.

At this moment, the ladder was already on the wall. Even though the soldiers pushed down a lot, the enemy still climbed up the wall without fear of death.

The loud screams and screams made people frightened. The short but strong figures of Nanyi soldiers under the city were rising and falling like waves, and they made shouts that shocked the world. These shouts were contagious and motivated each other, eliminating many of the inexplicable fears in their hearts.

Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging the long rain of arrows through the sky like locusts passing through the border, and people died here every moment. As soon as the first enemy army climbed onto the city wall, they were immediately swarmed by several border troops and were chopped into pieces in an instant.

The shouts and kills are shaken by the sky, and the war drums are beating. The soldiers on both sides finally face each other and launch the most bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat.

Punching through an enemy's chest, Qingyan saw several more ladders standing under the west gate, then rushed left and right, and rushed over with a bloody road.

"Qingyan! Don't die, boy!"

"You just wait and hold your grandson!"

Qingyan walked vigorously and passed Dong Polu, and saw the enemy's troops constantly turning down from the ladders, and his footsteps couldn't help but rise a little faster.

The pressure on the northern section of the city wall is much heavier than the main gate. Not only do you have to work hard to kill the enemy troops leaping up the city wall, but you also have to endure most of the rain of arrows.

Dong Yan waved his painting halberd and killed three enemy troops in an instant, leaving behind three headless corpses that were bleeding like pillars. He looked at the main entrance and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Tianfeng turned into a red dragon, and the two silver bells seemed to be the soul-guiding bells of hell. Each time they rang, they would harvest a life, and the blue flames killed the dense ladder.

"Hold the front!"

The surrounding troops found that it was the young prince coming to support him, and his morale was greatly boosted. Not only did the sword be fired faster, but the shouts of killing were even more deafening.

The shrill screams, crazy killings, and the fiery beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies angry and the war became more and more intense.

A long spear penetrated a man's neck, and Qingyan stepped forward to help the old man who fell to the ground, "Can you still move!"

"Thank you, little man..."

"Don't talk nonsense, kill the enemy as soon as possible if you can move!" Qing Yan said a word and ran towards the distance.

The shouts of killing in the distance lasted for nearly an hour, and Dong Zhao's heart was also hung for nearly an hour, but he did not dare to relax at all. After bandaging the broken arm soldier, he began to deal with the wounds of the soldiers beside him without any hesitation.

The schoolyard is now an injured camp for seriously injured soldiers, which is extremely rare in Nan Zhao and even in the world. Seriously injured soldiers are always simply bandaged and left to fate. However, the King of Lingnan made reforms twenty years ago, which is an important part of keeping the border army high in morale.

The enemy's offensive lasted for two hours before the Jin retreated.

Looking at the enemy who was retreating like a tide, and the broken limbs and arms everywhere in the mountains and fields, Qingyan fell to the ground with his butt.

This is my second time defending the city, but the intensity is vastly different. The Nanyi Army is well-trained and well-equipped, far from comparable to Shanyue. I really admire the King of Lingnan who has been guarding Tiannan for so many years, but he has not been captured by the enemy even once.

Thinking that the two northern countries were more fierce than Nanyi, I couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Your Highness, why do you sigh?" The old man who was rescued before sat beside Qingyan with a silly smile.

"I was wondering how shocking the world and the world were the Dark Dragon Wing Blade of my father back then. He killed the two countries with just tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to move the capital. But when I saw the fierceness of the monkey in Nanyi, I felt a little overwhelmed."

The old man was very familiar with it, "The prince and the prince of Lingnan are both like gods of war. The two princes will definitely be like this in the future. How can that be said? The dragon gives birth to dragon and phoenix gives birth to phoenixes, and the mouse's son can dig holes, hehe..."

"You are good at praising people, but unfortunately I don't have money on me, otherwise I should have been rewarded with these few words to you."

"What did your Highness say? From now on, you will be a son-in-law from Lingnan. The villain doesn't know if that's right. Anyway, you will be a family in the future. As long as the princess lives happily and freely, it will be the best reward for us old soldiers."
