Chapter 252: Against the Barrier
The royal capital of Los Angeles was finally saved when the city was about to be destroyed. The people inside the city were happy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, while the Qin army and the princes' armies outside the city were temporarily in a state of surprise.
That consternation quickly turned into anger, though. Especially after suffering casualties from a surprise attack, they had to be forced to choose to retreat. Seeing that the royal city was about to fall, it fell short. Many of his comrades who were badly wounded and fell under the city walls could not flee for their lives. Either they shed their blood and died, or they were slaughtered by the enemy's cavalry.
"General! We can't just go back to camp! ”
In the regrouped army, there were people who were shouting out. The blood on the knives in their hands had not yet dried, and anger welled up in their eyes. In just a short period of time, the charge of several cavalry from different directions caused great casualties to the dense siege team. If he was frustrated by the other party like this, the Great Qin soldiers would definitely not be able to swallow this breath.
Of course, Wang Feng couldn't swallow this breath. He has been in Rong for decades and has experienced more than 100 battles, and he has rarely lost a battle. And what made him even more annoyed was that looking at the few princes who fled back in panic, they were extremely embarrassed, and they were even defeated in a battle.
"How about the North City Gate, where is the Marquis of Zhongshan?"
After a few hurried glances, but never saw the shadow of the Marquis of Zhongshan and his subordinates, Wang Feng had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, he then heard the bad news.
"General Wang! The north gate was first attacked by cavalry, and the army of the Marquis of Zhongshan was all destroyed, and he himself was probably more than lucky! ”
Is Zhongshan Hou finished like this? Not only did Wang Feng not dare to believe it, but the other princes also stared at each other, with a look of horror on their faces. Those thousands of big men from Zhongshan Country are not clay sculptures and wood carvings, but in less than half an hour, the victory and defeat were reversed, and they were all dead? !
However, whether they believe it or not, this is the truth. The princes' armies besieging the other city gates were all defeated, and they all looked at the generals of the Qin State now, not knowing how they would deal with it next.
Wang Feng was about to issue an order to reorganize the army for war. saw Nie Wushuang walking over from the side with a frown. Subsequently, what he said confirmed Wang Feng's hunch.
"General Wang, everyone, it's the cavalry of the Zhao State who is here! The news that the Gou Kill Spy had just come back, and Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, was not far away, and he brought the combined forces of Zhao and Qi...... Looks like we're going to have a good fight! ”
Although they had long guessed that it was the people of Zhao who came to rush this troubled water, Wang Feng and everyone else were still surprised to hear that it was King Zhao who came in person. Although they had never seen Chu Jiangmian before, this young man was born in less than a year, and what he did shocked the world was enough to show how powerful he was.
Especially not long ago, Mu Xueqing, who was known as the second general of the Qin State, was defeated and died tragically at the hands of King Zhao. This shocking news has already spread all over the world. If in this case, there are still people who stay on the impression that he was the gentleman in the past, then it is really self-defeating.
"How dare he come here? Hum! Did he think he could be arrogant enough to be even more powerful than his old man? In that case, it's time to plan carefully...... Under Los Angeles is where he is buried! ”
Wang Feng had a resentful look on his face. Whether it was for the Qin State or for his own family, killing Chu Jiangmian was a goal he had set a long time ago. Originally, I felt sorry that I couldn't attack Zhao Guo, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself!
Nie Wushuang nodded. He and Chu Jiangmian clashed several times, and he knew that guy's cunning and power. When you are against him, you must be cautious. In this case, Los Angeles is not in a hurry to attack first. It is imperative that all efforts must be made to prepare for the battle against the Zhao army. No matter which way you look at it, the battle of Zhongzhou is very important, and he and Wang Feng must not lose.
And the other princes were of the same opinion. The encounter of the army of the Marquis of Zhongshan made them suddenly realize that with the strength of these small princes, in front of the big princes of Qin and Zhao, they were simply a rabble. Although it is not yet certain that the life and death of the Marquis of Zhongshan will be born, the sadness of the rabbit's death and the fox's death will inevitably arise spontaneously. Such a discovery made them feel very frustrated, but they were helpless.
The current situation, since he has already boarded the thief ship of the Qin State, he will never be able to get down again. I can only go on hard. As for life or death, it all depends on the ultimate success or failure of this war.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, everyone unanimously decided to temporarily withdraw the troops, and after returning to the camp, they would carefully investigate and understand the specific situation of the Zhao State reinforcements, and then prepare a more detailed battle plan.
Around Los Angeles, where the battle had just ended, corpses were everywhere, and the smoke and dust did not stop. Wang Feng finally glanced back at the majestic city wall, and could vaguely see the royal flag being replanted on the high part of the city tower. Those excited shouts can be heard in my ears.
"Zimmer, don't get complacent. The decaying Great Zhou Dynasty is just a few more days to survive, whether it is Qin or Zhao Guosheng, it will no longer exist! ”
The veteran of the Qin State whispered coldly, and then glanced at the cavalry troops of the Zhao State who were waiting in the distance, he didn't say more, turned his head and took the lead back to the camp. Thousands of troops and horses retreated like a tide. In a moment, it was clean.
Hundreds of feet away, the war horses neighed, and the shields were like walls. The cavalry of the Zhao State, who had already prepared for a big battle, were a little surprised to see that the Qin army and the princes' army had retreated, but they were still relieved after all. The purpose of their early arrival was originally to rescue first, not to fight a decisive battle. If the brigade led by King Zhao himself arrived, he would have been surrounded by the enemy, and he would have suffered serious losses. Although they were not afraid of war, it was not King Zhao's intention.
Wang Jun glanced back at the cavalry under his command, the reason why he was able to break the situation quickly just now was because he was irresistible with the sharp spirit that came from the gallop. If you want to use the strength of these 5,000 cavalry to fight against tens of thousands of troops, it is a very stupid idea. Fortunately, the fierce rush just now caught the other party off guard, and there were few casualties among themselves. This made him feel very relieved.
At this moment, the scouts had already come to report and convey the order of King Zhao, and the army would arrive immediately, so that they should not act rashly. Wang Jun led the people to the city wall, but saw that the white beard of the royal brother Ji Mo, under the protection of the disheveled Janissaries, had already walked out of the city gate and came to greet them with an excited expression.
In the northeast, smoke and dust are everywhere, and flags are waving. The brigade finally arrived. On a carriage following the procession, after Gongzi woke up from a deep sleep of extreme fatigue, he opened his eyes and finally saw the familiar mountains, rivers and plants. This noble son, who traveled thousands of miles in one breath in order to ask for help not long ago, can no longer help but feel stirred in his heart. With tears in his eyes, he jumped off the carriage, stumbled to Chu Jiangmian's horse, and fell to the ground, grateful beyond measure.
Chu Jiangmian ordered him to follow behind him and go in the direction of the city gate. Although it is said that before Gongzi chased him halfway, the army had already set off for King Qin, but his behavior of traveling thousands of miles in order to save Los Angeles is still very admirable. Gongzi suffered a lot along the way, and finally saw that Luocheng was safe and sound, and his heart finally let go.
"King Zhao...... Thanks a lot! ”
By the blood-stained moat, Zimmer held the hands of the young man who was three years different from himself, his beard trembled, and his eyes were red. Opposite the two, he could see very clearly, the last time they met, it was the handsome King Zhao, and his face was full of wind and frost. It is expected that this thousands of miles of help, without stopping, must be extremely hard.
Chu Jiangmian was secretly a little embarrassed. In fact, he was in the carriage all the way, and he didn't suffer much. A team of personal guards led by Bai Ye paid attention to King Zhao's diet at any time. I don't know how they use to have fresh fruits, vegetables and food every day. As the closest people around him, he knows his living habits very well, so even during the march, he takes care of him very well.
Moreover, there is also a carefree princess by his side, which makes him feel some delicate and gentle feelings at any time. From the East China Sea to Zhongzhou, roll up the bead curtain, and the autumn colors are confused. Such a beautiful woman is on the side, if it weren't for the smoke and dust raised by the chariot and the horse, it would almost be a happy journey to the mountains and rivers.
Chu Jiangmian actually wanted to ride a horse and be with the soldiers. But it seems destined to be a luxury. Everyone objected to it and strongly disagreed with his idea. A thousand-mile march, though in the midst of the great army. But who can guarantee that the enemy's dead spies and assassins will not appear at any time! Now he has become more and more important in influencing the overall situation of the world. If there is a mistake, no one will have the shame to go back to face the Queen Mother and the people of Zhao State.
"Mo Gong, I'm late! It is really a shame to let the royal capital suffer losses...... Is the Son of Heaven okay? ”
Chu Jiangmian did not take credit, he met him as a junior. Zimmer was full of emotion. Holding his hand as he walked towards the city, he briefly recounted the situation of the two days of war. Speaking of which, it's really dangerous! If it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements, the city would have been in flames at this moment.
"Tianzi has been ill for a long time, and his physical condition has been even worse recently. There's no need to rush to meet you first. After defeating these rebels, it is not too late for me to take you into the Zichen Palace to meet you. ”
Ji Mo did not hide anything from Chu Jiangmian. He knows best how the Son of Heaven is in health. Now that the enemy is currently besieging the city, it is of course important to focus on this.
Chu Jiangmian nodded. Seeing the tragic places after the fierce fighting up and down the city wall, I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart. In this era of chaos in the world, although war is inevitable, he really doesn't want to use this way to restore peace in the whole world.
