Because of the terrain of Zhanghe Beach, with a cliff behind it, there is basically no defensive pressure.
As for the front and side slopes, due to advance preparation, three lines of defense were deployed using horse-drawn carriages and artificial trenches.
Therefore, the enemy's cavalry was unable to charge up the slope for the time being and had to break through these three lines of defense first.
But even with this geographical advantage, Wei's soldiers were both wary and fearful because of the large number of personnel, single defensive equipment, and the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves.
"Look, Your Highness Princess!!"
Just when the first line of defense was breached and a large number of soldiers had to passively retreat to the second line of defense, and their morale was low, a soldier suddenly shouted loudly.
When the officers and soldiers heard the news, they saw dozens of golden horses galloping down the center of the river beach, like a torrent, instantly blocking the gap with the greatest defensive pressure.
Such a bright and well-equipped knight could only be the Royal Guards beside Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Initially, she thought it was the princess who mobilized the guards around her to help out, but after a closer look, she saw that the leader of the cavalry, with a strong posture and slender physique, but with a fearless aura, rushed into the enemy formation.
It's a woman!
When those knights in golden armor saw the woman trapped in the formation, they immediately protected her with all their might and killed the surrounding enemies one by one.
Although most soldiers have never seen the golden face of the princess, there is no doubt that the woman who can make those guards risk their lives to protect her is not a princess.
A general took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Hurry, protect the princess, kill her!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
The princess personally went into battle. Inspired by honor and mission, more than a thousand soldiers burst out with astonishing fighting power. They bravely rushed out of the second trench and once again fought fiercely with the enemy between the first and second lines of defense...
On the slope of the river beach, Prince Wala watched the battle in front of him.
But his eyes were all attracted by the agile figure in the center of the battle formation.
"What a charming woman!"
Prince Wala was familiar with the culture of the Wei Kingdom, and he was very sure that the princess of the Wei Kingdom in front of him, like other Wei princesses, had been raised in a deep palace since childhood.
This is definitely her first time facing the battlefield.
However, as a woman, she was able to show such fearlessness and bravery on the battlefield for the first time, which really impressed him.
He thought that only the warriors in their grasslands had such a brave and fearless spirit!
In his eyes, there was a look of joy.
"Prince, they... should we go down and help?"
What the guard said was naturally not to help Wei Guo.
The Third Prince of Wala waved his hand slightly, "No, it's just a mob. Facing the warriors under General Abu, defeat is their only outcome.
We just need to stand here and watch the upcoming massacre feast. Isn't it also very interesting? "
"The prince is wise!"
…
In order to boost her morale and to test whether the martial arts she had practiced diligently for more than ten years was just a show, Princess Zhaoyang came to the front in person.
The eyes were full of blood, and everywhere there were the screams of soldiers from both sides falling.
Without having time to think carefully, she swung her sword and attacked the enemy.
But she only had time to swing a few swords, and soon found that the enemies around her had been cleared away by the guardsmen who were desperately protecting her.
And if she wants to continue killing enemies, she can only keep moving forward.
But she still stopped at an appropriate place. She knew that now was not the time for her to show off.
More and more soldiers were gathering around her to protect her. If she was trapped too deeply, the soldiers around her would die innocently.
So he threw down his sword, took down his bow and arrows, and fought and retreated.
But the bucket of bows and arrows was not finished, and she regretfully found that she didn't even have a chance to shoot.
As far as she could see, the number of enemies was far less than the people protecting her.
And in the melee, the possibility of shooting the enemy is greatly reduced.
"Your Highness, the enemy's cavalry is surrounding them, retreat!!"
The enemy seemed to have discovered the secret here, and mobilized a large number of cavalry to attack.
Upon seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang nodded, led a group of soldiers, and retreated to the second line of defense to direct the defense on the spot.
Although, because she, a noble princess, was by his side, the soldiers were not afraid of death.
However, Princess Zhaoyang looked at the entire battle situation and had to accept that if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the defense line collapsed and the opponent's cavalry charged forward.
Perhaps it is the highest honor for a soldier to die on the battlefield.
The imperial court will give them the care and glory they deserve.
But in addition to the soldiers, there were thousands of non-combatants in the camp at this time.
Once the enemy's cavalry breaks through the defense line, it will be a brutal massacre.
It's time to make a decision.
"Walk!"
Princess Zhaoyang gave the order and led her guards back to the field in the center of the slope.
In order to observe the battle with their own eyes, the decision-makers spontaneously watched the battle here.
There was no time for nonsense. Princess Zhaoyang said to Xiang He and others: "I have made a decision that may provide a glimmer of hope for you and me."
Xiang He and others, who had already turned pale, were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly asked.
“With the current situation, we have no chance of winning if the confrontation continues.
Once the enemy's cavalry comes up, all of us will die.
Therefore, I want to design a plan to lure their cavalry away..."
"What do you mean, princess?"
Because they stood high, Xiang He and others were able to observe the overall situation.
The enemy seems to love their cavalry very much. So far, they have basically not allowed the cavalry to rush into battle.
But they would not think that the enemy mobilized so many cavalry here just to watch a show.
I'm afraid that when the gaps in the three lines of defense open, it's time for them to charge with all their strength!
By then...you won't know the outcome.
Therefore, when they heard that Princess Zhaoyang had a plan, they all grasped at straws.
"Tatars have gone to such great lengths to come, and their main target must be this palace.
Therefore, I decided to lead people to break out. "
Hearing Princess Zhaoyang's words, Xiang He thought about it for a moment, then understood and was shocked.
"No, Your Highness, this is absolutely not allowed!"
He heard what Princess Zhaoyang meant.
Since the enemy's target is Princess Zhaoyang, as long as Princess Zhaoyang breaks out, the enemy will definitely send cavalry to chase her.
Without the huge pressure of cavalry, such a large camp may have a glimmer of hope...
But how is this possible!
All of them exist to protect Princess Zhaoyang. How can they let Princess Zhaoyang help them lure away the enemy?
Others who reacted also knelt down to express their disapproval of Princess Zhaoyang's strategy.
Princess Zhaoyang said calmly: "The current situation no longer allows for hesitation.
If the stalemate continues, everyone will die here.
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to plot changes to survive while we still have fighting strength.
This strategy failed, but the outcome was the same.
But if it succeeds, not only will I have a chance to escape, but you will also have more time to wait for rescue.
You can understand! "
After hearing what Princess Zhaoyang said, everyone calmed down.
Yes, a stalemate will lead to a dead end.
If you help the princess break through the siege, even if the enemy is not fooled, at least the princess will have a chance to escape.
As long as the princess can escape, then even if all of them die here, it will be a worthy death, right?
2kxs" 2kxs
After thinking about it, everyone said: "O minister, please obey the princess's order!"
So, they conspired to help the princess break out.
…
No movement in the camp could escape the eyes of Prince Wala.
Sensing something unusual, he immediately looked for it.
Although Xiang He and others were very dissatisfied with Prince Wala, they did not doubt him.
After all, Prince Wala was not only with them all the time, but he was also injured in the battle in the morning, so he tried his best.
Considering the feud between Tatar and Oara, it is expected that the Prince of Oara will not end well if he falls into the hands of the Tatars!
So there was no hiding from him.
There is no need to hide it, because the princess has already changed her equipment and come out, and she can take action immediately.
When Prince Wala saw Princess Zhaoyang and her two maids dressed exactly the same, he didn't understand their plan.
Although I sneered at such a futile effort in my heart, I secretly praised Princess Zhaoyang's courage.
So he took the initiative to ask for help: "It's my fault that the princess has been put in danger this time.
In order to atone for my sins, I am willing to personally escort the princess to break out! "
Prince Wala knelt down on one knee, showing great sincerity.
Princess Zhaoyang looked slightly strange, glanced at him, and asked, "But isn't the prince injured?"
"A little injury, it doesn't matter. I am willing to go through fire and water for the princess!"
By identifying yourself as a minister of the following country, you can lower the other party's alertness. At this point, Prince Wala habitually did a good job.
"It's rare for a prince to have a heart. In that case, it's time to work."
…
Although Jia Lian took away the main cavalry in order to save Zhu Dahe, it did not mean that there were no horses in the camp.
Not to mention anything else, there are at least a hundred riders in Princess Zhaoyang's imperial guard.
Besides, if you really want to run away, it won’t take more than a few rides...
To the west of the river beach, the enemy came down with a fierce offensive. Just as he was about to take a breath, he saw the soldiers from the Wei State suddenly shouting in unison that the killing general was coming.
The enemy wonders, these lambs waiting to be slaughtered actually dare to counterattack?
Could it be that they knew they were going to die and were retaliating on their deathbed? The enemy, who had not yet taken a breath, reluctantly braced himself to resist this wave of impact.
After all, he was in a hurry and was unprepared, and the opponent was fierce, so he quickly backed away.
Suddenly, I saw the opposing soldiers all moving out of the way, and then a group of fast horses galloped out.
The experienced general immediately knew what this meant and immediately wanted to lead people to kill the general.
Suddenly seeing the figures rushing in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble.
Not only him, but other soldiers also subconsciously gave way when they saw those knights with familiar clothes and familiar attire.
But the mighty knight at the head did not give up because of their concession. Instead, he raised his sword and cut off several of their lives...
It is normal for an enemy under siege to find a way to break out.
But these "Tatars" knew that the other party's princess was in the camp, so the other party could only hold on. They never expected that the other party would choose to break out.
Moreover, this is also the place where their defenses are lowest.
If the people of Wei want to escape, they must either go south or east. Going west, isn't it heading towards their hinterland?
In addition, the opponent had a large number of armored cavalry to clear the way, so a hole was quickly opened in the encirclement.
Three women on fast horses galloped out and fled with their lives along three routes.
At this moment, even a fool knows what is going on.
"Quick, stop them!!"
The other princess wants to escape.
How could this be allowed!
On the hillside, I watched the three long streams go away quickly, and then, a large number of enemy cavalry followed suit and chased away...
Xiang He's eyes were moist.
As a courtier, he didn't understand Princess Zhaoyang's behavior.
Being clear, calm and silent can give the princess a greater chance of escape.
But the princess chose this way.
As if she was afraid that the enemy would not know that she had escaped, she even found two other women to pretend to be her to increase the attention.
Although there is a plan in it such as "what is imaginary is real, what is real is imaginary", Xiang He knows that more importantly, Princess Zhaoyang really wants to lure away more enemy cavalry!
Otherwise, the princess could disguise herself as a man and hide among the cavalry. It would definitely be easier to escape the enemy's pursuit than this.
After silently praying for Princess Zhaoyang in his heart, Xiang He wiped away his tears and cheered up.
He knew that this was all the princess could do for them.
Whether they can survive next depends on their own fate.
"Come here, bring all the oil drums!"
He is about to start deploying the fourth line of defense...
…
Dusk has passed and the sky is dark.
The remaining Imperial Guards around Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
After dark, it will be much easier to escape the enemy's pursuit.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Beside them, Prince Wala and his personal guards followed them closely.
Seeing that Princess Zhaoyang and the guards around him were exhausted, his mood became better and better.
The gaze of appreciating and looking at prey never left Princess Zhaoyang.
"Princess, less than forty miles ahead is our military stronghold in Wala.
I have already sent people to mobilize soldiers and horses to pick up the princess.
Now, we might as well tinker a bit here. "
Seeing that the enemy did not catch up, Princess Zhaoyang and others did not refuse, so they ordered them to repair on the spot and replenish food and water.
Night, dark.
The third prince of Wala held a cup of goat's milk cooked by his subordinates and tasted it slowly.
It wasn't until a guard he sent out in the name of a scout came back and whispered a few words in his ear that he nodded, drank the goat's milk in one gulp, then stood up and walked to Princess Zhaoyang.
When the officer in charge of the guard saw this, he immediately stood up and looked at each other with tiger eyes.
"Back off."
Princess Zhaoyang, who was sitting under the tree and looking at the bonfire without knowing what she was thinking, raised her head and scolded.
Upon seeing this, Prince Wala walked to Princess Zhaoyang and sat down in front of her. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Your Highness the Princess is so good at riding and shooting. There are so many Tatar cavalry, but they can't catch up with the Princess."
Princess Zhaoyang also smiled, "Thanks to the prince for your help."
"Really, it's a pity..."
"What's the meaning?"
Princess Zhaoyang's expression changed slightly, and Prince Wala laughed even more when he saw this scene. With a wave of his hand, all his guards, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed over and surrounded Princess Zhaoyang and all the guards around her.
Seeing the remaining twenty or so guards, they immediately drew their swords to protect Princess Zhaoyang. Prince Wala didn't care.
He just looked at Princess Zhaoyang and said with a smile: "Apart from our respective identities, I really like the princess. I have even thought about letting the princess be my Orduo and fight with me. It’s the world.”
