Chapter 239: Battle of the Northern Regions

*A modification will be more code words, this is more than 300 more than 300 haha*

Northern Regions City, the northern gate of Jingtang, the most important pass. At this time, Zhirong was leading an army of 120,000 to the north gate of the Northern Regions City. It takes three days to travel from the Northern Regions to the capital day and night, so she must capture the Northern Regions City within three days, and she can't give the Northern Regions a chance to ask the Jingtang Imperial Court for help.

Although Zhirong is a well-known King Rong in the north, the situation in the Jingtang Dynasty is chaotic, Tao Lingran and Duan Ziyan only care about robbing Jingtang Jiangshan, and they don't know that Zhirong's body has fully recovered, plus Zhirong has been walking around since she entered the north, so the two women who hate her the most don't think of her.

The reputation of King Rong has not yet started in Jingtang. And even if I vaguely heard that she was doing well in the north, many people would think that a weak woman could do much if she was disabled, at most, there were some people who pulled a banner and became king, but they just stayed in that kind of cold place for a lifetime.

Therefore, no one, including the king of the Northern Regions, thought that Zhirong would lead 120,000 horses to attack the Northern Regions City.

The king of the Northern Regions woke up in an explosion, and when he walked up to the city, he was immediately shocked by the black army below, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and all of them were the best equipment and horses, the most conspicuous was the black-clothed and white-cloaked woman standing in the wind on a group of silver wild wolves in the middle of the army, and the army of beasts next to them.

"Bai Zhirong!" The King of the Northern Regions squeezed these three words out between his teeth. The original beast army of the Golden State also spread to the Northern Regions, but the king of the Northern Regions at that time didn't believe it at all, thinking that it was all Zhirong creating momentum for himself.

But the facts are right in front of you. But in fact, all the king of the Northern Regions saw was 30,000 horses. Zhirong just wanted to let him underestimate the enemy, so as to slow down the time to ask for help from the imperial court. She also figured out the psychology of the king of the Northern Regions, this person would never let the imperial army enter the Northern Regions and participate in the military of the Northern Regions unless it was absolutely necessary.

Some of the rest of the men were led by Haas and hid in the mountains for the time being. A small part was led by Shen Heng and Sheng Hongyu through Tianqi Mountain to detour to attack the south gate of the Northern Regions City, because the number of people was small, it only took two days to pass, at that time, even if the Jingtang reinforcements arrived, the city had already been breached, and only Ren Zhirong could only lead the army through the Northern Regions into Jingtang.

He suddenly remembered the secret letter that Yanhua sent someone to send urgently yesterday, which reminded him to be careful of someone coming from the Northern Regions, and explained that if the other party was Jin Zixuan, he would definitely find a way to kill him. If it is Bai Zhirong who comes, he can only keep the Northern Regions City from being breached. And don't hurt Zhirong.

Yan Hua was really powerful, and he had long expected that someone would come to attack in the Northern Regions. The king of the Northern Regions secretly hated that he didn't care about Yanhua's secret letter, so that Zhirong attacked the city, and he didn't know about it. But it was impossible for him to let Zhirong go.

He sneered at the people below, just these soldiers and horses still wanted to attack the Northern Regions. Sure enough, she is a woman who can only embroider and does not know how to fight at all. There are 50,000 horses in the city in his northern region, and there are plenty of food, grass and weapons, let alone 30,000 or 70,000 or 80,000 horses, and he is not afraid.

Zhirong stood on top of the Ice Wolf King. Smile slightly. The 30,000 horses did not do their best to attack the Northern Regions City, but only regular battles, throwing thunder eggs upwards from time to time, and the number was very limited. Although the men and horses are very well equipped, they give people a feeling of lack of morale. As soon as the soldiers in the city fired their arrows, they would retreat.

"Drop the rocket!" The King of the Northern Regions commanded loudly. And picked up a big bow and aimed it at Zhirong, using all his strength to fire three arrows at once. Rockets raining down from the sky are also coming.

Zhirong led people to retreat in a panic with shields, and the three feathered arrows of the King of the Northern Regions were as fast as a whirlwind, two of which were dodged by her, and one grazed her neck. In an instant, a bloody mark appeared on the snow-white neck. It hurts hotly. "Retreat!"

Seeing that Zhirong was injured and retreated a hundred miles away with a person, the king of the Northern Regions snorted coldly: "This king knows that you don't have any ability. Go back to your evil city and die. "All three of his arrows were coated with poison.

However, Zhirong's hot feeling soon disappeared, and the effect of the essence of heaven and earth and the snow lotus had long made her invincible, even if it was the poison of the southern Xinjiang, it might not be able to hurt her in the slightest.

"Lord, when is our next attack?" Shen Qing helped her bandage it, only one attack would be too fake, and soon the king of the Northern Regions would be suspicious. So there will be at least a few waves of attacks on this day to look like it.

"After an hour, another group of people." Although it was a feint, there were a few casualties. Therefore, Zhirong decided that the part of the people brought by Haas would be on call in the mountains at any time and exchange men and horses, so that it would be fairer to the soldiers.

Shen Qing received the order to change part of the men and horses, "Lord, you are still too soft-hearted, casualties on the battlefield are inevitable." What's more, the soldiers are willing to accompany you to fight a feint. ”

If it were someone else, he might take these 30,000 people for a day, until Shen Heng successfully entered the south gate of the palace. However, Zhirong couldn't do it, she knew that if she only let this team end, there would definitely be more casualties in the end.

Moreover, there is a lot of gunpowder in the Northern Regions, if the king of the Northern Regions throws thunder eggs, where can the 30,000 people retreat in time, there will definitely be heavy casualties. It's not fair to these soldiers. This statement was also recognized by Haas and the Prairie Soldiers.

Therefore, even if she ordered a replacement, Haas did not have any complaints, but was happy and recognized Zhirong's leadership status. They are sons of the steppe, wild and brave in their blood, and they would be ashamed to hide from them. If you are protected by Zhirong and don't take the lead, then you will also feel that you are treated specially, which is different from your own soldiers.

An hour later, Zhirong led the men and horses to attack again, this time the momentum was even greater, and the king of the Northern Regions smiled and smiled, and it was not the same thing at all: "Throw more thunder eggs and release rockets, I don't believe that she can still have a life!" ”

Zhirong didn't expect the king of the Northern Regions to change his thunder egg so quickly, and hurriedly led the men and horses to retreat, although he had a solid shield, but this time there were still more casualties than the last time. There was no news from Shen Heng's side, so Zhirong could only withdraw and deploy the next feint.

"The next attack is scheduled for after noon." Zhirong changed another group of people, and arranged for Haas to send people to treat the wounded soldiers.

Another attack on Zhirong still suffered the same result, and this time the Northern Regions threw more thunder eggs. Zhirong returned to the camp feeling a little uneasy. How many thunder eggs are there in this Northern Regions City, every time he feints, he throws it down without feeling distressed.

If this is the case, even if the 120,000 army is flanked in front and back. As long as there was enough gunpowder and weapons in the city, it would be impossible for her to take the city in a short time. When Jingtang's reinforcements arrived, it would be even more impossible for her to pass through the Northern Regions.

"Lord, Sheng Hongyu once said that there are many weapons depots in the Northern Regions City, and the King of the Northern Regions has been hoarding thunder eggs all these years. Last time, we didn't destroy these weapons warehouses in a hurry to save people, and if we don't destroy them this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to succeed. The subordinates asked for orders to blow up the weapons warehouse in the city. ”

Shen Qing also saw the situation, she knew that this battle must end as soon as possible, and she couldn't delay it for a day. And how difficult it is to infiltrate the Northern Regions City. Explosives warehouses are also dangerous. In case of a miss, then Zhirong's hope of breaking through the Northern Regions City will be slimmer, so she automatically asks for her life.

However, Zhirong refused to agree. She couldn't let Shen Qing take this risk, she would lose her life if she wasn't careful. "No, I can't let you take the risk yourself."

"Lord, the Tianqi Mountains are only suitable for small groups of troops. If it is a large army, it will take several days. At that time, we had to face not only the men and horses of the Northern Regions, but also the Jingtang reinforcements, there was no way to retreat, and it was also a bloody battle to advance. Shen Qingpu knelt on the ground: "Please let me go!" ”

Shen Qing didn't understand what Zhirong said, if it weren't for the fact that the Tianqi Mountain Range was too difficult, she wouldn't have to attack the Northern Regions, she could take people and horses to make a detour, but the army couldn't go down for ten days without a detour, and the target was too big and easy to find.

Zhirong thought for a while and said, "Shen Qing." Even if you go, you can't be alone, and it can't be tonight. Tonight, the king of the Northern Regions will take strict precautions. There is no chance at all. We have to wait for Shen Heng's side to attack the city tomorrow night, and then send a team of light martial arts masters into the city, otherwise it will be in vain. ”

"My subordinates understand!" Shen Qing nodded heavily, agreeing with Zhirong's statement, but he didn't know that their conversation happened to be overheard by Haas, who was passing by.

Haas returned to his camp tent and couldn't sleep, his head was full of the plan that Zhirong and Shen Qing had said to blow up the weapons depot. His light skills are very good on the grassland, and he is also very good at climbing. He thought to himself that if he blew up the arsenal earlier, the brothers would have left a little less blood, and what would it matter if a few people died.

In this way, Haas secretly left the camp with a few steppe soldiers.

"Lord, it's not good, Haas took people to the Northern Regions City!" A quarter of an hour later, Shen Qing panted into Zhirong's tent, and she secretly hated that she hadn't found Haas eavesdropping on him in time, causing him to die.

The map in Zhirong's hand fell, and the grassland soldiers who had just been levied still acted arbitrarily like that, without military discipline. "The golden stone remains. Shen Qing, you and I will lead 30,000 people to attack the Northern Regions, and try to delay time for Haas. ”

The king of the Northern Regions got up overnight and was shocked when he saw Zhirong. He originally thought that Zhirong's men and horses were already exhausted, and they would definitely not attack again. However, this group of centaurs is still so strong and brave, it is very abnormal.

Could it be that the thought flashed in his mind, and even he was startled, could it be that Bai Zhirong's men and horses were not 30,000 but more? How many centaurs does this woman have?

"Someone! Immediately send someone to rush to the capital to explain the situation to the Queen Mother and ask for reinforcements! The King of the Northern Regions gave a decisive order, and then fought back fiercely.

Shen Qing used the Beast Command Method to recruit an army of beasts and at the same time used the roar of the beast to send a signal to Haas, which could be heard if he was still alive. Sure enough, there was a voice in the city, and Shen Qing was overjoyed, but the king of the Northern Regions also knew that the enemy army was mixed in the city.

"Send a signal to Haas, tell him to be careful of the soldiers in the city, and make sure they live!"

Zhirong stared intently at the king of the Northern Regions at the head of the city, the old fox was probably already debunking his attack. It seems that everything is going to be carried out in advance. Shen Heng's team might have arrived if it had been a day and a half of marching, but that was only an assumption.

There are too many thunder eggs, and Zhirong can't cope with them at all. She had no choice but to push the team back again. It seems that if the arsenal of the Northern Regions does not explode as soon as it is not exploded, it will be difficult for her to approach the Northern Regions City.

Haas in the city had just found a few weapons depots, he divided the people into several squads, and gave a death order: "Brothers, we may not survive this time, but it is our glory to fight for the goddess and the Lord, and the people of Dongyue will be proud of us!" ”

"For the sake of the grassland, for the sake of the goddess and the Lord, we are willing!"

The soldiers and horses in the Northern Regions City quickly surrounded the people everywhere and shot arrows without hesitation, but they did not notice that the men were carrying a lit fire bullet in their hands. They were covered with feathered arrows, and blood was pouring out, but they had happy smiles on their faces.

Then there was a sudden fire bullet and a loud bang, the figure disappeared in an instant, and the surrounding soldiers were also engulfed by the explosion, and most of the weapons depot in the Northern Regions City was basically destroyed, the flames soared into the sky, and the smoke billowed out.

Such a shocking scene stunned Zhirong and the others, and even the king of the Northern Regions was speechless. How can you accept that most of his weapons accumulated over the years have been destroyed in these warehouses overnight? He spat out a mouthful of blood angrily, his hand supporting the city wall, and staring at Zhirong viciously.

"Bai Zhirong, I want you to pay for it with your life!"

At this time, Zhirong and the soldiers were already in tears, where could such a fast explosion people escape, Haas They exchanged their lives for her to protect her.

But now is not the time to be blinded by hatred. She had to wait for news from Shen Heng's side. "Soldiers, our warriors cannot die in vain, but now is not the time for revenge! We must recharge our energy to conquer the city and comfort the souls of the dead! The soldiers were ordered to retreat to a hundred miles away and camp to rest, and fight again tomorrow! ”

Under this order, although the soldiers were sad, they also understood it. Haas and the others cannot die in vain, what they need to do now is not impulsive, but carefully arranges tomorrow's attack.

At dawn on the second day, Zhirong made a deployment, and this time it was no longer a feint attack but an all-out attack. And the king of the Northern Regions was also waiting at the head of the city early, and he longed to eat Zhirong's flesh and her blood.

He took out all the thunder eggs in his only remaining arsenal, even if he couldn't kill all of Zhirong's men and horses, it would still hurt her vitality.

This siege battle was much more difficult than before, but after Zhirong's careful deployment, the soldiers attacked the city in an orderly manner, even if there were thunder eggs, they would not panic, but would quickly avoid casualties, even so, casualties could not be avoided.

As time passed, the casualties increased, and after noon, Zhirong had already retired twice. In the afternoon, she called out the Beast Legion and the soldiers to attack together, and the rockets above rained down, and the beasts deftly dodged. The King of the Northern Regions looked at the situation and became more and more anxious. He regretted not listening to Yan Hua's words.

"Report, Wang, someone is attacking at the main gate!"

"What?" The King of the Northern Regions finally understood why Zhirong hadn't pulled out a large force before, and he hadn't done his best, so he was waiting for this opportunity.

And he has already put all his troops and weapons at the north gate to deal with Zhirong, especially after last night's incident, his family has moved here, and the south gate is equivalent to an empty door!

"Bai Zhirong! I'll kill you! As he spoke, the king of the Northern Regions flew forward, and the long sword stabbed straight towards Zhirong.

Fluttering, the sound of the long sword entering the flesh, the king of the Northern Regions looked at the tip of the sword stretched out from his chest, and then looked up at Zhirong who was looking at him coldly, "Girl, I underestimate you!" "After saying that, the whole person fell to the ground and lost his breath.

Shen Qing withdrew his sword, and at this time, the city was in a panic and there was a large commotion, and the signal from the sky was sent out, and the south gate was broken.

In the first year of Emperor Huizhao of the Jingtang Dynasty, Bai Zhirong broke through the Northern Regions City, and sent troops to guard it, announcing to the world that the Northern Regions belonged to the King of Northern Rong. This incident caused a sensation in Jingtang and the surrounding countries, some people said that she was a heroine, and some people said that she was a thief.

But Zhirong didn't care about these and went straight to the capital with a large army. (To be continued......)
