Chapter 997 Defense

The cavalry on the hills in the distance gathered more and more. In just a blink of an eye, there were about a thousand cavalrymen on the hills in the distance, and they were now staring from above and down at the remnants of the Xia army struggling in the snow.

Under the even more dazzling sunshine in the snow, the flags above the cavalry on the hills whistled in the wind, and a murderous aura that rushed towards Yelu Yue and the others like a sea of ​​rushing towards him.

"Protect Your Highness to retreat..." Yelu Yixue patted his legs lightly, staring at the cold and graceful cavalry on the hills in the distance, and ordered his subordinates to immediately protect Yelu Yue and retreat.

And at this moment, in front of their left, another sound of war horses neighing came, and another cavalry slowly emerged from the valley not far away like a fierce wolf pack, with a gloomy aura.

Yelu Yue and others couldn't help but feel numb in their scalp. The war horse stole the thick snow uneasyly and began to retreat involuntarily.

In the past few days, they have never encountered two Mongolian cavalry on their way eastwards. Even though they only encountered one Mongolian cavalry every time, they have already put them in a desperate situation of heavy casualties.

Now two Mongolian cavalry appeared in front and in the left. Not only Yelu Yue felt the aura of despair, but even Yelu Yixue looked at the two cavalry in the distance, because of the murderous aura and pressure coming towards him, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The tired army under his command was already difficult to compete with the Mongolian's new force.

The uneasy atmosphere in the crowd became stronger and stronger, and what followed was the war horse under his crotch becoming more and more uneasy. From time to time, he sniffed, stepped on the snow under his feet uneasy, and began to retreat without hesitation.

"No need, we have no way out." Yelu Yue finally felt relieved at this moment, and a peaceful smile appeared on her face. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit the indifferent Yelu Yue's face. Looking at Yelu Yixue who turned around in surprise, she smiled calmly: "General Yelu, order everyone to attack the Mongols in the valley."

"Your Highness..." Yelu Yixue was startled, and then he couldn't help but look at the cavalry on the hillside, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, if you stop them in the future, you will take the others to detour from the valley entrance on the right. This place is not far from Xiping Prefecture, and you can't just give up."

"Look at the swaying flags on the hills." Yelu Yue's face still had a peaceful smile, and even a hint of ease and tenderness.

"Your Highness..." Yelu Yixue still didn't understand what Yelu Yue meant.

"You and Zhong Can and Mo Xiaobao have been fighting together for a long time. Have you forgotten the secret code between us?" Yelu Yue's face was filled with a bright light of happiness. Life and death had already seen through the way of escape, especially after the royal city was destroyed, Yelu Yue no longer cared about whether she was alive or dead.

The reason why she has been so persistent is that in addition to the loyalty of Yelu Yixue and other soldiers, she is the reluctance to leave Ye Qing in her heart. So along the way, the one who can support her and is willing to continue to move forward bravely is Ye Qing in the distant Song State.

She wanted to see Ye Qing again, and even... just like what she often imagined when she was dazed along the way, if possible, she wanted to die in the arms of her beloved.

So she is willing to continue to go east regardless of everything. Even if the bad weather with snow is flying all over the sky, it is hard to move forward. But as long as she thinks that her last destination will be in the arms of her beloved, when she closes her eyes peacefully and leaves the world, a sense of courage will burn in her heart.

Subutai didn't know that there were other troops coming to encircle the princess of the Liao Kingdom. Even if there were, they should be able to arrive here in two or even three hours. Therefore, when Subutai looked at the remnants of the Xia people in front of him, he had to be alert to the unidentified cavalry on the high hill with a solemn atmosphere.

As the remnants of the Xia people began to move in their direction, Subutai discovered that the unknown cavalry on the hill above his head were also slowly diving in their direction.

"It's a cavalry of the Song people." Su Butai said, looking at the war horse next to him, with a slightly tender face.

"How dare they go deeper here?" Shu Chi frowned in an old age. As the eldest son of the Khan, he is now deeply trusted by Temujin. In addition, Su Butai, a brave general who assisted Shu Chi, made the young man who had been on the battlefield for many years seem extremely calm and calm even when facing the attacks of two cavalrymen.

"It's at least 300 miles from Xiping Prefecture to get here. It seems that Ye Qing is really going to turn against Khan for this Liao princess." Subutai ordered his men to prepare for the attack while protecting Shu Chi-Chima to a higher slope with a better view, staring at the hillside where the snow began to roll.

"I ordered the army to retreat five hundred steps. This is the valley entrance, which can slow down their attacks on us." Shu Chi looked around and said at the narrower valley entrance in front of him.

At this time, Yelu Yue had slowly landed at the end of the army. As Yelu Yixue and some of the cavalry began to rush towards the valley where the Mongols were, Zhongcan, who was originally on the hillside, was also divided into two groups, one running towards the direction where the Mongols were, and the other running towards the tail of the Liao cavalry, preparing to pick up Yelu Yue.

For four days, Liu Keshi of Xiping Prefecture was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. It had been four days since Ye Qing's dispatch. He should have set off at the first time, but now he still has to stay in Xiping Prefecture, waiting for Tian Lin, Zhong Can, or Mo Xiaobao to come back to leave Xiping Prefecture with confidence.

But now, I have sent countless scouts in the past few days, but I still cannot contact Mo Xiaobao and others. They are like they have disappeared out of thin air in this snowy world.

Master Liu Ke could have predicted how ugly his face in Yanzhou was at this time. Even whenever he thought of Ye Qing's gloomy face, he would tremble all over his body.

He really respected Ye Qing, and he was also awe from the bottom of his heart. From outside to the bones, and even in his blood, he was hiding awe for Ye Qing. More importantly, since he followed Ye Qing, he had never disobeyed Ye Qing's orders, but this time, Mo Xiaobao and others harmed him badly.

Who knows how Lord Ye will deal with him when he sees Ye Qing? Although he is worried about his life,... when he thinks of the gloomy face in front of him, he feels chilling.

"Mr. Liu, I found Commander Mo." The hoarse voice of a scout suddenly sounded in Liu Ke's ears, which was like the sound of nature.

Hearing the voice of the scouts outside, Master Liu Ke was overjoyed, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and ran out. As soon as he saw the scout, he found that his feet slipped, and Master Liu Ke fell to the ground in an instant.

"Mr. Liu..." The scout was startled. This was the first time he saw Master Liu Ke so anxious and panic in the past few miles. Of course, it was the first time he saw him falling down.

"Let me tell me, where is Commander Mo now?" Liu Ke asked, unknowingly, he didn't care that his hips were so painful that he was thrown.

"General Mo said that he would be able to rush back to the city tonight, and he also asked Lord Liu not to be in a hurry..." The scout reported Mo Xiaobao's words truthfully.

"Fuck, if he doesn't come back, I will lose my head. Didn't you tell him, Lord Ye's life, I will rush back to Chang'an four days ago?" Master Liu Ke heard that Mo Xiaobao was able to return to Xiping Prefecture before dark, and in this case, wouldn't he have to wait until tomorrow to set off?

"I said it." The scout nodded in embarrassment, "But Commander Mo said that he had something important to do now, and he had to stare at the Mongolians who bit him, and he had to help... He said that he had to help Commander Zhong and Commander Tian to restrain the Mongols' cavalry..."

"Mo Xiaobao... he fought with the Mongolians? Didn't he agree not to have conflicts with the Mongolians?" Liu Keshi heard Mo Xiaobao contact with the Mongolians, and it seemed that there was also a conflict between Tian Lin and Zhong Can and the Mongols, which instantly caused a bad premonition to arise in Liu Keshi's heart: "Hurry, pass on my order, everyone should be on guard immediately and close the city gate. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter and exit."

"Mr. Liu, are you..." the scout asked in confusion.

"Since Mo Xiaobao and the others have had a conflict with the Mongols, can they guarantee that the Mongols would not take the opportunity to attack Xiping Prefecture? In the eyes of the Mongols, the Xiping Prefecture must be empty at this time, which is a great opportunity to seize it." Liu Keshi hurriedly yearned for walking. At this time, Ye Qing was anxious to let him return to Chang'an, and he was completely thrown away by him.

After all, if Xiping Prefecture was lost in his hands than if he had returned to Chang'an for a few days later, it would have been a serious crime to behead him!

"I've really been killed by Mo Xiaobao and the other three. If I had known, I wouldn't have let them all go out of the city!" Liu Keshi cursed while walking. As the horn sounded in every corner of Xiping City, as the city gates on all sides were closed one by one, the entire Xiping Prefecture became nervous after a few days of stability.

He climbed up the city with panting and looked at the white snow under the sunset that was gradually slanting west. A black path that was stepped out by the people and scouts in the past few days was extended straight towards the distant west like a spear.

Scouts like ants began to spread out from the gates of Xiping Prefecture, and then stepped on long marks in the snow, and began to check whether there were any Mongol army attacking here.

The people in the city looked at the soldiers of the Song people and rushed up to the city tower one by one with a serious expression. Simple fortifications were built outside the city, and the trenches that were about to be filled when siege were dug up again.

Until the sunset fell into the horizon, the entire Xiping Prefecture was still nervously building fortifications to defend against the Mongols' siege. However, at this time, under the instigation of Liu Keshi's three-inch tongue, the Xia people in the city gradually began to participate in the construction of the fortifications.
