Chapter 586: The Winner Is King (I)
The generals who followed behind Yu Shi'an were stunned, they didn't expect this emperor to be so fierce, and he directly rushed down in front of Murong Feng, although most of them didn't know Murong Feng, but the handsome flag behind them was embroidered with the word 'Murong'!
"Your Majesty! Please...... Come back...... "The generals behind him were stunned, and now they can't take care of much, your emperor has lost it, and it is a capital crime to go back!"
But when these horses hurried to catch up, they were stunned by the scene in front of them! drove to Yu Shi'an and Murong Feng arched their hands to each other, and then Murong Feng got out of the way, and Yu Shi'an entered Murong Feng's troops in a grand manner.
What's even more surprising is that it was Chi Tonghao who came up from behind. As soon as he saw Yu Shi'an, Chi Tonghao's heart was also relieved, whether this battle could be solved quickly, the key was to keep Yu Shi'an, and let him make a statement to give way to Yu Qianrou!
At this time, the generals who followed Yu Shi'an also understood that this was the emperor taking the lead in surrendering! These people are all Yao Cheng's subordinates, and they don't know what to do now!
However, there are still some diehards who are unwilling to surrender, they are all pulled up by Yao Cheng, and they have all done a lot of bad things, after calculating it, even if they surrender now, there is no good result, at most they can save their lives. And they still pinned their hopes on Yu Wanfeng and Yu Shichang, especially Yu Shichang, who was said to have already tried to open the inheritance of the divine beast during the meeting!
At this time, the female warriors on both sides began to collect the net, and with Murong Feng's large army, an encirclement had already been formed, and now it was too late to turn around and run back!
"Your Majesty has a decree to return the throne from now on, and now I order you to lay down your arms, dismount and submit, and change the past right and wrong!" Chi Tonghao shouted loudly at this time, and Yu Shichangan behind him also reappeared, but Yu Shi'an had already changed into the clothes of the prince, and there was a big flag behind him, which was embroidered: King Xiaoyao.
Although Chi Tonghao's words are not very useful for those generals, these people have been following Yao Cheng for a long time, and they don't want to lose their current glory and wealth. They were also influenced by Yao Cheng, and they only trusted Yu Wanfeng and Yu Shichang from their hearts!
But the soldiers under his command are not so resolute, of course, it is best for them not to go to war, and now that the emperor is obedient, who are they still fighting for? Besides, now I am not living very well in the barracks, the military salary is in arrears, and the food is getting worse and worse, and now I can just eat enough! Even the whole winter was supported by old cotton clothes. And looking at the soldiers of the Northern Zirui Kingdom, not to mention those female soldiers, even ordinary soldiers are all brand new uniforms and soft armor, and their weapons are all neat. The key is that the morale of the soldiers is high, the spirit is high, and they are all eager to try and ready to rush out at any time!
So many soldiers quietly retreated to the side, threw away the weapons in their hands, and surrendered on their own initiative! Originally, those generals still wanted to make an example of each other, but when they saw that there were more and more soldiers throwing away the weapons in their hands, they didn't dare to do it, otherwise they would arouse public anger, but it would not be so good-looking! And there are many small leaders among them, who have been planted by Fan Ping a long time ago, and now they are also taking the lead in throwing away weapons......
"Why, do you still want to resist? If you don't submit now, you're missing your last chance! Murong Feng urged him to step forward and said lightly.
"You ...... You have premeditated it, and you will not be able to win by force! "The martial artist led by Yao Cheng is Yao Jian, Yao Cheng's cousin, and he is also one of the more accomplished ones of the Yao family, less than thirty years old, and he is already in the realm of a first-class martial artist. He shouted in a little panic at this time.
It is impossible to make Yao Jian surrender, after all, their Yao family is now developed by relying on Yao Cheng, so their group will definitely follow Yao Cheng to the end! But in the face of the female warriors who were outflanked from both sides, Yao Jian still felt worried from his heart! The murderous aura emanating from these female warriors was so strong that Yao Jian could feel it from a distance of hundreds of steps.
"Oh? Victory or not? …… Well, that's good, I'm not going to encircle you now, let you go back and report to Yao Cheng! Let him either come out early and surrender, or prepare to fight to the death! But you can't interfere with the soldiers who have already been submitted! Murong Feng looked at Yao Jian with contempt, he didn't take such a small role in his eyes at all, so he simply let him go back first.
Because Murong Feng was very thoughtful, once the fight started now, those soldiers who threw away their weapons would probably not have time to withdraw and would be killed by mistake! So I just let them go back......
Although Yao Jian was a little unhappy, he really wanted to bring these soldiers back or kill a group of warnings, but when he saw Murong Feng's indifferent eyes, his heart was shocked, and he quickly turned the horse's head and galloped away with the remnants!
Originally, Yu Shuang and Yu Xue were still a little unhappy, but they didn't expect that they were already about to do it, and Murong Feng put them back again. But then everyone was very impressed, but they didn't expect that there were less than 20,000 people and horses who followed Yao Jian back, that is to say, more than 30,000 soldiers chose to surrender.
This was too unexpected, there were more than 10,000 soldiers who threw away their weapons, but they didn't expect Yao Jian to turn his horse's head and leave, and there were 20,000 fewer people who were willing to go back! It turned out that these soldiers were also hesitant, they had the intention to surrender, and they were afraid of retaliation, so Yao Jian left quickly with his men and horses, and they threw away their weapons and stayed......
Yao Jian immediately looked back and saw that so many soldiers had defected and surrendered, he was really shocked and annoyed in his heart, but there was no way! Originally, he wanted to raise his arms and pull some people back, but when Jumei shot off his helmet with an arrow, Yao Jian was so frightened that he didn't dare to look back, and he desperately beat the horse and galloped......
At this time, Yao Cheng's mood was quite happy, because the news he received now turned out to be good news, and the persistence of the three veterans began to resist the onslaught of the opponent, and the number of casualties on the other side greatly exceeded his own. This made Yao Cheng's heart feel very satisfied, this is the basic casualty of the offensive and defensive battle! The three veterans don't look at themselves very convincingly, but they still perform well at critical times!
Of course, Yao Cheng did not say so in the letter to Yu Wanfeng, but exaggerated his role, all of this is because he sent troops in a certain way, and reinforcements from all walks of life were in place in time, so he stabilized the situation, and now once he enters the stalemate stage, there will be plenty of time to mobilize people from other counties, and constantly strengthen the defensive strength, and finally drag so many people and horses in the Northern Zirui Kingdom to death, and then he can only take the initiative to withdraw his troops......
But what made Yao Cheng a little puzzled was that there were so many letters, but there was no letter from his cousin Yao Jian, according to his past habits, Yao Jian would send back the letter in the most timely manner. And this time the responsibility on his waist is heavy, and he also bears the heavy responsibility of protecting Yu Shi'an's safety. It's Yao Cheng's heart disease. Although he looks down on Yu Shi'an, he is also the emperor, and it seems that he can sit on this throne for many years!
When it was half a bowl, suddenly his own soldiers ran in in a panic and shouted: "General, the big thing is not good, General Yao Jian fled back with 20,000 remnants, but His Majesty is gone......
"What? Gone? Dead? Yao Cheng suddenly got a little confused, and asked in disbelief.
"It's not! The emperor and Murong Feng, the military advisor of the Zirui Kingdom, joined forces, and also claimed to return the throne to His Majesty Yu Qianrou! "The soldiers under him didn't know what to call Yu Qianrou, so they had to call him Your Majesty!
"Huh? He...... He...... He's crazy? Is it appropriate for the emperor to give it to Yu Qianrou? Say...... The emperor took the lead in surrendering? Yao Cheng couldn't believe his ears, he had never heard of the emperor taking the lead in rebellion, which was really a bit unacceptable!
"Report! General Qiqi, 150,000 horses came from the west, led by Fu Tiexin, and the deputy general beside him was ...... General Lu Zhong! At this time, another recruit ran in in a panic to report.
"Ahh It's annoying, this old puppet dares to defect to the enemy and commit treason? Yao Cheng immediately shouted angrily.
"Report! Wu Yue in the southwest led 150,000 horses, less than fifteen miles away from us! The lieutenant next to Wu Yue will be ...... General Fan Ping! Unexpectedly, before Yao Cheng could recover from his senses, another letter came that made him faint even more.
"Nonsense! How could they all defect to the enemy? Check it out for me, and then come back and report it!" Yao Cheng angrily kicked over the book case and yelled loudly. It's all good news in front of you, why did it all turn into bad news in a blink of an eye? It's incredible!
At this time, Yao Jian was covered in sweat, ran in with crooked armor, and said with a sad face: "Dashuai, what they said is true, now the soldiers of the Northern Zirui State have formed an encirclement in three ways, trapping us here!" Now the people in the city are already panicking, and many people are rushing to the city gate to escape for their lives! ”
"Got it! I see! Yu Shi'an had already colluded with them, no wonder this time he wanted to drive the expedition in person, that is, to save his life! It seems that this is really going to ruin the country! Yao Cheng sat down suddenly, still muttering in his mouth. Now I look for the messenger who came to report earlier, and I can't find it!
"These rebels and thieves, I'll go and arrest all their families!" Yao Jian also said angrily at this time.
"It's late! I'm sure Fan Ping and their family have already moved away! If they have suffered a loss once, will they suffer again? Yao Cheng shook his head and said, but he still sent people to arrest Fan Ping's family with a fluke mentality.
"That'...... Now what do we do? Yao Jian also looked at Yao Cheng a little overwhelmed, he has always been the backbone of these people, especially the Yao family, which was developed by Yao Cheng, so they still have a group of desperate people under them. In particular, almost half of Yao Cheng's 8,000 iron horsemen were the children of the family.
"Humph! I still have 300,000 horses! Even if they wanted to attack the city, it would take them some time! You start deploying defenses right away, and you must defend them tightly! I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the Emperor Taishang immediately! Then urgently mobilize troops from other counties to rush to reinforcements! "After all, Yao Cheng has also fought a big battle, and he is not at a loss. His arrangement immediately made his soldiers start to actively prepare for war!
Yao Cheng came to the city wall, and at a glance, the black pressure under the city wall was all soldiers wearing helmets from the Northern Zirui Kingdom, and some soldiers had not had time to change their clothes, but all the flags were from the Northern Zirui Kingdom. At a glance, there were four or five hundred thousand horses, and they had already begun to set up camp, and the tents were not in sight.
In fact, there are far more people on the three roads, but every county and town along the way has to stay behind, post notices to reassure the people, and then maintain order. Therefore, people and horses were constantly assigned along the way, and the people who really surrounded Yao Cheng were less than 500,000, and most of them were the original people from the Southern Zirui Kingdom!
It turned out that Murong Feng claimed to have 800,000 horses, but 300,000 of them were left in the sea area of the Northern Zirui Country to prevent the thirty-six islands in the southeast from taking the opportunity to attack! Murong Feng, as a military advisor, is still quite thoughtful, now that Ji Zhihui has integrated the thirty-six islands in the southeast, his strength has increased greatly, if Ji Zhihui takes the opportunity to make trouble, it will be a great threat! Therefore, Murong Feng left a fairly strong defensive force in his country's waters!
But even now these horses are enough, Yao Cheng has already sent out 300,000 horses, and now he is barely in his hands, which is 300,000 horses! Murong Feng still didn't care much about this bit of strength in the city!
Yao Cheng was nervous and actively preparing for defense, and even the people in the city were arrested to help strengthen the fortifications, but Yao Cheng did not have many heavy weapons here, because they were all distributed to the three veterans on the front line, and there were less than a thousand crossbows in his hands. Now you can only rely on a condescending advantage to defend!
However, what made Yao Cheng breathe a sigh of relief was that Murong Feng did not immediately launch an offensive, but set up camp and began to reward the three armies by killing cattle and sheep, it seems that he planned to recuperate and attack only after resting! This also gave Yao Cheng plenty of time to prepare.
In fact, Murong Feng and they were waiting for the arrival of Zhu Xiaobao. Isn't the little treasure guaranteed to be supplied in the back? And along the way, Zhu Xiaobao also had to appease the people's livelihood in various counties and counties and post notices. A group of profiteers who hoarded grain and prepared to make a fortune in the future were also punished. In fact, fighting a war is not the most troublesome, the most annoying thing is to appease the people's livelihood, maintain order, and re-issue various decrees!
That's why Zhu Xiaobao is late, but he already feels a little bored, he, the king of England, has too many things to deal with!
"See King Chitose!" As soon as they arrived at Murong Feng's camp, everyone came out and sang in unison, which made Zhu Xiaobao feel a sense of accomplishment again!
"Hee-hee! Excuse me! Alas, I said cousin, you don't have to give a salute! Your 'Easy King' is no match for me! When Zhu Xiaobao saw He Sihan, he grabbed him very affectionately and smiled, which made Yu Shi'an a little moved, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao to respect him. And once again explained his identity as the 'Easy King' in front of everyone, which means that he will not be repaid in the future!
After entering the big tent, Zhu Xiaobao began to vent his bitterness on Murong Feng, he had dealt with too many things along the way, and there was no fun at all!
"You were supposed to let you out to play? This is just the beginning, and when I fully take over the South Zirui Kingdom, there is still a lot of work! Murong Feng glanced at him and said in a low voice.
"Anyway, I don't care, you can do it! It's really not good, I called Duanmuqi, he, like you, is good at managing this messy situation! "Zhu Xiaobao is starting to leave it alone again!
"Humph! I had expected such a show! Look who I brought! Murong Feng had already had foresight, and waved his hand at the female guard at the door, and saw a person coming in from outside the tent, it turned out to be Tao Zhiqian! I didn't expect this guy to come with me. This made Zhu Xiaobao immediately overjoyed. This guy is the best at managing the counties, and he has a variety of methods and is extremely efficient.
It turned out that Tao Zhiqian heard that he was going to attack the Southern Zirui Kingdom, and he ran back by himself and wanted Murong Feng to take the initiative to ask to follow, and there was no longer any challenge in the counties and counties of the Northern Zirui Kingdom. Besides, Yu Li also led the troops to the battle, Tao Zhiqian couldn't sit still, and he ran to Murong Feng to ask for help! This guy has looked farther away from the post-war rectification, and has realized that the post-war period is the most cumbersome but also the most critical period, which even Murong Feng did not think as far as Tao Zhiqian thought.
"Hahahaha! Okay, good, old Tao! You do a good job, and when the time comes, you will also be crowned a king or something! It's really not good, I gave an order to let Yu Li marry you, and the habit of these female warriors to find men casually should also be changed! Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile, even Yu Li is ready to send it out!
"Huh? Chitose, don't dare to be delusional, you must not do this, if Yu Li knows, I will be the one who will be beaten! Tao Zhiqian immediately shouted in shock, he loves and fears Yu Li, once he starts to do it, it will be a real beating!
"Grass! You're really unproductive! Well, let's not talk about that! Zhu Xiaobao was also stunned, but he didn't expect Tao Zhiqian to dare to accept this favor, so he asked Murong Feng: "How is it, when can I take Yao Cheng?" Several old generals are waiting to clean him up! ”
"I plan to start attacking Yao Cheng at noon tomorrow!" Murong Feng thought for a while and said.
"Good! But why tomorrow at noon? Zhu Xiaobao asked a little puzzled, it is said that today is already a bit of a waste, and it seems a little inappropriate to waste another half a day!
"Hmmm! I'm waiting for the naval guns on the 'Black Wind Twins' to be delivered......" Murong Feng said very calmly.
"Huh? How did I forget this artifact, it's still thoughtful by the military advisor! Only then did Zhu Xiaobao pat his head and exclaimed......
The next day, just after noon, Murong Feng lined up to fight, and the team advanced another five hundred steps before stopping.
A mecha chariot emerges from behind the door flag. This was made by Junichi Ki before the expedition, and this mecha chariot was more agile and lighter than when he was in the Cave Blessed Land, and it was very powerful, because two naval guns were installed on it......
Driving under the city wall, Zhu Xiaobao lifted the top cover from the mecha chariot and poked his head out, he was about to shout to Yao Cheng......
