Yu Wenye's pupils suddenly tightened.

Seeing Xue Xian's horse galloping, getting closer and closer, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, slapped the horse, and rushed forward. Just when the Yanyue Sword was slashing at him with both hands.

He swung his sword and blocked it again.

Just listen to a "high" sound.

Just like before, Xue Xian's knife was once again blocked by the hard handle in his hand, but this time, Xue Xian's arms were not bounced away. Instead, he held the knife with both hands and pressed down hard.

Suddenly, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on its top, Yu Wenye's whole body sank.

Shang Ruyi, who was standing on the city tower and saw this scene, suddenly felt a flash of silent panic in her eyes - after seeing the horse battle just now, she had already understood in her heart that all the people fighting on horseback wielding weapons,

The strength of the horse comes from the lower body, and the most important thing is the two legs in the stirrups, which are the source of strength for the generals on horseback.

If there is any looseness there, the general will be almost helpless on horseback.

And Yu Wenye - she clearly remembered that he had always suffered from leg cramps. It was because of this that Ashina Zari escaped from Yanmen Pass. Although she had worried about his problem before, she would give him leg cramps every night.

He drinks some milk, but she hasn't done this since they fell out.

Looking at it now, Yu Wenye's legs seemed to be twitching unconsciously again.

And, it's not just the legs.

For people on horseback, waist strength is also very important. Just like his two behind-the-scenes attacks just now, they relied on waist strength. This man's waist is indeed flexible and strong, and it is not something ordinary people can reach.

But at that moment, Shang Ruyi felt vaguely that his waist seemed to soften a little, causing his whole body to sink.

Could it be——

Shang Ruyi was so nervous that he even forgot to breathe. His hand, which had worn out fingertips and was bleeding, dug tightly into the wall and looked down with burning eyes.

Is Yu Wenye's physical strength really exhausted?

Just when her heart was almost in her throat, a low sigh suddenly sounded from beside her.

"Brother Yuwen, are you a little tired?"

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and saw that Good Tong'er had walked beside him at some point. He was also holding on to the wall and looking at the battlefield below in trance.

Because of vomiting during the day, Cheng Qiao and the others immediately took him down to rest, and did not call him on the expedition just now. Unexpectedly, the child woke up at some point and climbed onto the city wall, looking at the battle situation below with worry.

And his words made Shang Ruyi even more uneasy.

She said: "Can you tell?"

Shantong'er looked up at her, with a worried look on his little face that was weak from vomiting and a little pale, and said: "His strength seems to be much less than when he just set out for the battle."

"..."

"Only now do I know that when second brother Yuwen went to Wanggangzhai to fight me, he didn't use all his strength."

"..."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to withstand three attacks from him."

"..."

"But now-"

Shang Ruyi's heart sank and he suddenly said: "Stop talking!"

Shantong'er was startled, looked at her somewhat gloomy face, then looked around, and suddenly understood.

Although he did not understand the crime of disturbing the morale of the army, discussing the body of the general in the battle at this time would inevitably make the people around him worry. If the people's morale becomes chaotic, it will be difficult to lead the army.

The good boy quickly closed his mouth.

But after thinking about it, he looked up at Shang Ruyi and said softly: "Sister Ruyi, I want to help him."

At this moment, both hands of Shang Ruyi were on the wall, and his dark eyes were staring at the battle situation below - Yu Wenye finally, after a period of stalemate, suddenly swung away the Yanyue knife that was pressed above his head, and slashed it with his backhand.

Xue Xian's lower abdomen was the most difficult position to attack, but it was also difficult to defend. However, Xue Xian did not rush, raised the handle of the knife, and deflected his attack.

Immediately afterwards, the two clashed with their blades several more times, and the harsh and sharp sound filled Fufeng.

Shang Ruyi said in a deep voice: "No."

"...!?"

Shantong'er looked at her with wide eyes in astonishment: "Why?"

Although Yu Wenye was not clearly at a disadvantage, he still fought so fiercely that the soldiers watching below could not see anything strange about him and were still cheering for him desperately, even with the soldiers of the Longxi Army on the opposite side.

They started scolding each other, but the people standing on the tower could see them clearly.

After Yu Wenye exerted force like that just now, his body had begun to feel weak.

If he keeps fighting, he will really—

But Shang Ruyi still had a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "He must fight this battle by himself!"

In the past, even before this battle started, Shang Ruyi might not have had such a belief, and it was even less likely that she would have ignored Yu Wenye in such a bitter battle, but now, she has fully understood that Yu Wenye is going to

Through himself, through his own battle, he aroused the fighting will of Fufeng soldiers, so not only could he not lose, but he could not have any bias in the battle.

Otherwise, the fighting spirit of these people who had just been aroused by him will only collapse faster because of his "incompetence".

By that time, Fufeng will really collapse.

Since Yu Wenye wants to take on this responsibility, he must bear it to the end. The person on the battlefield at this moment is not only her husband Shang Ruyi, but also the general of the imperial court, the support of Fufeng soldiers and people, and even more - Yu Wenye

Own!

Hearing Shang Ruyi's decisive answer, although Shan Tong'er didn't quite understand it, he could see from the dignified and serious expression on the face of this sister Ruyi, who had always been kind and gentle, that it was impossible for her to send people to the battlefield to help Yuwen Ye.

However, he was still worried.

The good boy murmured softly: "Should we just do nothing?"

"...!"

As soon as these words came out, a bright light flashed in Shang Ruyi's eyes.

She suddenly turned around and said: "Where's the drum?!"

Originally, everyone on the city tower was watching the battle below attentively. When they heard her question, everyone was a little unable to recover. However, the supervisor Yin Changyue immediately reacted and pointed to a big drum erected at the entrance of Qiao Tower and said: "Here.

."

Shang Ruyi walked over immediately.

The drum head of this big drum is almost as long as an adult. It is placed on a high wooden frame. The wooden frame is about the same height as Shang Ruyi. There are two drumsticks placed on the side of the wooden frame, which are as thick as a human arm.

, Shang Ruyi picked it up and pressed it heavily on his wrist.

When they saw her posture, everyone around them was shocked. They didn't know what this delicate-looking young lady from the Duke's Mansion was going to do. For a moment, everyone ignored the battle situation below and looked at her.

Yin Changyue was also stunned for a moment: "Young Madam, what are you—"

Shang Ruyi ignored them, just turned his head and looked at the battle below. The two men on horseback were still fighting fiercely. Xue Xian seemed to have seen something. He became more and more courageous as he fought. The Yanyue Sword in his hand was waving like a halo, towards him.

Yu Wenye came with a series of attacks. Although Yu Wenye showed no weakness and attacked several times in succession, his elbows began to tremble uncontrollably.

Xue Xian saw the opportunity, roared wildly, raised the Yanyue Sword in his hand high, and slashed down at Yuwen Ye!

This blow is enough to crack a rock and open a mountain!

Yu Wenye gritted his teeth and swung his sword with one hand. The sharp Mo Dao drew a dazzling fan of light above his head, trying to block Xue Xian's blow like this!

There was already a gloomy sneer on Xue Xian's face.

At this moment, a thunderous drum sound came from above the two of them!

Suddenly, Yu Wenye felt his heart tremble, and an unknown force emerged from the four limbs, intertwined in one place in an instant, and rushed towards his arms. He shouted angrily, and Mo Dao blocked it forcefully.

The Yanyue Sword flipped his wrist and directly pressed it down on Xue Xian's head with his backhand.

"...!"

Xue Xian was shocked. He obviously didn't expect that he would have the energy to fight back at this time. He even waved his sword with one hand to suppress his own sword. However, he was not weak at all. He hurriedly pushed away the sword and took advantage of the opportunity to move towards Yuwen.

He attacked Ye's ribs.

At the same time, another drum roared!

Just when the first drum sounded, the soldiers of the Fufeng Army had not yet recovered. Some even thought it was their own heavy heartbeats, but another drum sounded, and they finally realized something.

They all raised their heads and looked at the tower.

But in front of the heavy drum, a slender figure waved a huge drumstick and hit the drum head desperately. The deafening sound of the drum was struck one after another under her hands, like a dome dyed red by the setting sun.

Thunder!

This is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, and also their general's wife!

Originally, everyone felt uneasy because of the presence of women and children in the army. After all, these weak people not only needed their protection, but would also be a drag on them at the most critical moment. Therefore, people were not only discouraged by Fufeng's defeat, but also

Dissatisfied with the appearance of this woman.

But at this moment, all dissatisfaction and discouragement were shattered by the sound of the drum!

This young lady was so heroic and brave, stirring up the storm with the sound of drums, and even frightened the people on the other side of the battlefield into panic, which made them very happy. Some people even started to raise their voices and shout: "Young lady!"

At the same time, someone shouted: "General!"

For a moment, the voices calling for the two people intertwined and merged on the battlefield, and the drums shook the sky.

In the passionate atmosphere, Yu Wenye felt an indescribable force coming from his heart, from the sound of drums, from the slightly shaking ground, and from all directions, filling him up in an instant.

He calmly responded to the challenge and calmly turned sideways to avoid the knife that struck Xue Xian. At the same time, he clamped his legs together and the horse that sat down immediately galloped forward two steps and passed Xue Xian.

Just when everyone thought he was going to completely avoid the opponent's continuous attacks, they saw that just a few feet behind Xue Xian, he repeated his old trick and hit the Mingmen point behind Xue Xian's back with his backhand again.

Xue Xian was a little angry now.

He held the handle of the long knife behind his back and struck down the Mo Dao in Yu Wenye's hand with all his strength. The sharp blade pierced the air again, leaving only another scar on the saddle on his back.

At the same time, Xue Xian also rode up to catch up and slashed at Yu Wenye's shoulder with his knife.

Shang Ruyi looked at the man in the fierce battle below. Although the two were far apart, she seemed to be able to feel the belief in his heart at this moment, and she wanted to transmit her power to him through the invisible drum sound.

So, she gritted her teeth, waved the heavy drumstick and kept hitting the drum head.

The drums rumble.

Yu Wenye couldn't see the scene on the tower at all, and he didn't even look back, but the sound of the drum seemed to arouse a surging heartbeat in his heart. The heartbeat surged, and power continued to pour out. Even more so when he waved the heavy Mo Dao.

With great ease, he had already exchanged dozens of moves with Xue Xian on the galloping horse.

This time, the two of them did not stop their horses or engage in a stalemate. Instead, they kept waving the long knives in their hands and slashing at each other. They only heard the constant sound of clanging. The two of them rode their horses with only their legs. The two horses

One red and one black, like intertwining flames and thick smoke, they galloped along the wide open space outside the city gate.

The drumbeats, as dense as the torrential rain, also merged with the sound of horse hooves at this moment, which further aroused the heartbeats of those in battle.

The people on horseback did not stop at all.

The two of them sat firmly on the back of the horse, only half a foot apart. The two long knives were waving like two bright round haloes, constantly stirring the fishy wind in their hands. After a while, the two horses were already circling.

The open space ran far away and reached the bank of Xiaolin River.

At this moment, the sunset is like flames and the war is in full swing.

The originally calm river surface suddenly reflected the figures of two horses and two men fighting feverishly on the horses. For a time, people and shadows, water and fire, reality and illusion, complemented each other, forming a beautiful scene.

Amazing picture.

There are even thunderous drum sounds, which outline this scene with a spirit that shakes the mountains and rivers!

Seeing that the two men had fought so far away, it was difficult for the sound of the drums to be transmitted. Moreover, the heavy drumsticks were swung no more easily than those wielding swords in the battle. Shang Ruyi struck down with a burst of blows, and his arms were already

Started to feel sore and numb.

Yin Changyue and others on the side also whispered: "Young Madam, let us -"

"Need not!"

Even before they finished speaking, Shang Ruyi interrupted them in a deep voice.

At this time, she didn't have any more energy to talk nonsense with others. She needed to put every bit of her energy into this big drum, and through the sound of this drum, it was transmitted to Yu Wenye!

"Get out of the way!"

There was a loud shout, and the people around him didn't dare to say anything, and all stepped aside.

Shang Ruyi bit the tip of her tongue and almost tasted the salty smell of her own blood. Her weak arms kept waving like rolling wheels. The drum head vibrated continuously as she hit it, and even the wooden frame below began to move.

, almost being knocked over by her.

The good boy had quick eyes and quick hands, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the wooden frame below.

The rumbling sound of the drum made his thick and hard arms start to feel numb, but he gritted his teeth and hugged his hand without letting go. The drum sound was so passionate that it shook the clouds and the ground like muffled thunder, reaching the hearts of those who were still fighting fiercely on the river bank.

In my heart!

At this moment, the two people drove their horses along the river and stepped on the water. The water spray stirred up was half a person's height. In addition, the setting sun had already dipped to the horizon, and the blood-red sunset gave off its final heat and light.

The water splash reflected like a rising flame.

The two of them fought fiercely in the dazzling light and rushing waves!

This scene made everyone excited!

Amid everyone's shouts that shook the sky, the two men fought fiercely along the Xiaolin River for nearly a hundred rounds. The two horses ran back along the long road towards the city gate. After a while, they returned to Fufeng's city.

door.

When Shang Ruyi used up his last bit of strength and hit the drum head with a heavy hammer, making a dull sound like a landslide, Yu Wenye gave a loud shout and swung out his knife with a sharp blade and a sharp blade,

The shock made Xue Xian lean back, and the horse he sat on seemed to be shocked at this moment.

The horse also took a few steps back.

Then, Xue Xian's figure shook suddenly and almost fell down.

This turn of events shocked the troops on both sides. Everyone thought that he had been injured. Otherwise, if he had fallen down, the Longxi Army men would have almost ignored the general and rushed forward. When they looked at it again, Xue Xian's own face also showed surprise.

With an expression on his face, he hurriedly grasped the reins in his hands to steady himself.

But he still kept shaking.

He was not injured, what was injured was——

"Chiji!?"

Xue Xian let out a low cry, and he was calling none other than the red horse beneath him.

It was only then that everyone was surprised to find that this red horse had just been walking on the water by the river. At this moment, it was wet and dripping with water, but the water droplets were actually bright red!

That's blood!

Drop by drop, it fell under their bodies and dyed a small area of ​​the ground red!

Seeing this scene, Xue Xian was also shocked. He hurriedly looked forward and backward, and then discovered that the blood was flowing from under the saddle on the horse's back, and the injury was exactly under the saddle on his back.

That is to say - Yu Wenye hit his Mingmen point several times before, but was blocked by his knife, leaving scratches on the saddle.

His knife not only cut through Xue Xian's saddle, but also wounded his horse again and again in places where Xue Xian couldn't see!

Also because this is a red horse, you can't tell when it's bleeding. By the time you notice the signs, the horse can no longer hold up!

"you--"

Xue Xian suddenly understood and looked up at Yu Wenye.

It turned out that this was his plan.

Yu Wenye's face was as cold and stern as ever, but his whole body was soaked with water dripping down, but he exuded a strong, almost overwhelming murderous aura!

That murderous aura has shaken people's hearts to pieces at this moment, and the horse under Xue Xian has reached its limit and is teetering on the verge of collapse!

"Chiji!"

Xue Xian's eyes were split open, and when he exclaimed again, the horse finally let out a shrill neigh and fell to the ground!

At this moment, Yu Wenye's face darkened, and his arms that were numb from the battle suddenly raised, pointing the Mo Dao in his hand at the panicked person in front of him, reflecting the last ray of blood-red light in the setting sun, and let out a bloodthirsty cry.

sound.

"Kill me!"
