Chapter 288: Golden Scale Armor Zhao Xue Guang

For a peerless horse, the most desired place is, of course, galloping on the battlefield. Thousands of troops and horses rushed forward. Charge into battle and look down on your kind. The wider the battlefield, the more heroic!

However, the dark clouds that have just set foot on the land of Zhao seem to be a little unaccustomed to the climate here. Maybe it's because of the nearly thousands of miles of waterway traveled on the boat, or maybe it's because the land here is different from the northwest of Qin. This thousand-mile famous horse carried its owner on dozens of miles of mountain roads, and he looked reluctant.

The general, dressed in golden armor, looked at the ten thousand horsemen in front of him and turned the mountain pass in front of him, he cherished the snowflakes on the mane of the war horse with his hand, lowered his head and whispered.

"Alright, stop being petty. After walking this mountain road, it is time to set foot on the battlefield. You're going to have to work hard with me, old man! ”

The dark cloud horse, who was called an old man by this famous general of the time, is actually not old. It is a thousand-mile horse in the prime of life, and its homeland is in the distant barbarian settlement of the Western Continent. That's where Maxima is abundant. Since becoming Shang Yunbai's mount a few years ago, it can be said that he has made many achievements, adding a lot of color to the majesty of this famous general.

A war horse that can't understand the owner's mind, no matter how fast it runs, can't be called a good horse. And the dark cloud has obviously already communicated with the people on horseback. Hearing its master's words, it shook its head mischievously, and a long hiss rang out, and the sound shook the mountains and forests, like a dragon's groan.

Shang Yunbai smiled faintly. In a sense, the horse has become a part of his life. How many times in the rain of swords and arrows, they were born and died together, and established a prestige in the world. He couldn't remember how many generals had been defeated under him, and the aura of a famous general was definitely not obtained out of thin air.

For personally leading troops into Zhao State this time, he didn't see how heavy it was. Or rather, he didn't think there would be any war that would be too intense. With the strength of his army, launching a surprise attack on Zhao at this time was undoubtedly a chance to take advantage of the situation, and it was not worth boasting about. Starting this war in this way is not what Shang Yunbai wants. But in order to calm the depression in his chest, he immediately sent troops after receiving the order of King Qin.

If he had a choice, Shang Yunbai's most desired way of war was, of course, to wait until the legendary Tianzhong genius King Zhao was in Dragon City, and he would capture him. But now, since he is on an expedition and the Wei people have seized the opportunity, he can only helplessly pick up this bargain.

However, whether it was him or Wei Wuzi, they never expected that the development of things would greatly surprise them. In the planning of Wei Wuzi, Zhao State, which is experiencing the impact of the elite army of Wei State, may be difficult to survive this time. And when the army of Qin passes at this time, it will at most catch up with the Wei people and get some benefits.

Because of this thought, when Shang Yunbai set foot on the land of Zhao, the first thing he heard was the news that the Wei army had suffered heavy losses in Longcheng and fled in defeat. The surprise in his heart can be imagined. At the same time, however, there was pride in his breast. Since Zhao's army is so powerful, it is worthy of his opponent to fight against it. In this way, when the elite soldiers of Great Qin start killing soon after, there will not be much psychological burden.

Of course, at this time, it was a matter of killing two birds with one stone to help the defeated Wei army. Of course, Shang Yunbai knew what to do best. Soon, the spies who accompanied the army's actions were killed and scattered, receiving his orders, and began to search for the movements of the Wei army. And Shang Yunbai personally commanded the Ten Thousand Cavalry Qin Army, directly detoured to the Nine Elements Mountain, and went straight to Dragon City.

He would never believe that the Dragon City Zhao Army, who had just fought to the death with the Wei people, would have the ability to withstand this fighting blow from the Great Qin Iron Cavalry again! On the mountain road with a thin layer of white snow falling, the cavalry of the Qin army in black armor meandered forward, like a long dragon, and the forward had already passed through the mountain pass, and the face suddenly opened up. And as far as they could see, it seemed that the outline of Dragon City could be faintly seen!

"General! The latest news, the Hook Annihilation Office has contacted the Wei army, and they are on the West Mountain dozens of miles away from here. ”

There were flying riders who came to make a loud announcement. Shang Yunbai nodded, he looked at the snowflakes that began to intensify, and asked casually.

"So, do they still have what it takes to fight again?"

"General Qiyu, it seems that the people of Wei have not made a decision yet, and the Hook Annihilation Office will send the news back at any time!"

"Don't wait for them. The order was given, and after the army left the mountain, the battle began. Target ahead, Dragon City!"

Shang Yunbai lifted the reins of the war horse, rolled up a thousand snowflakes behind his hooves, and flew away. The help of the Wei army was dispensable, and whether they had the courage to turn back and fight again, it had little impact on the final outcome. At this point, it is not so much that he needs the help of the Wei people, but rather that they have a chance to save themselves. As for whether they can grasp it, it's up to them.

At this moment, Dragon City seemed a little nervous. Just a little earlier, the news of the enemy army coming from the Chu River in Longcheng finally came, which couldn't help but be a big surprise. Actually, Shang Yunbai's estimate was not wrong at all. Dragon City really didn't have the ability to fight anymore.

After nearly ten days of continuous attacks by the Wei army, the defenders of the city were mostly exhausted, except for the casualties. If it weren't for the "secret weapons" that relied on the Qianji Pavilion at the last moment to inflict heavy damage on the Wei army, I'm afraid the consequences would be unpredictable. And when the Wei people were defeated, once the courage that supported them was relaxed, they lay down in a large area. And, especially sad for everyone after the joy of victory, the veteran Gou Wuxian died in battle.

Although it is said that the general will inevitably die before the battle. Dying on the battlefield was originally the fate of a general. But Gou Wuxian has been unarmed for many years, and he could have not died. It is foreseeable that when King Zhao hears this news, he will be very sad. In addition to him, Zheng Liancheng was also seriously injured. At the critical moment of the final battle a few days ago, he personally led the army out of the city gate he was guarding, and in the process of chasing the defeated army, he was shot through the knee by a stray arrow. It is likely that he will not be able to walk again for the rest of his life.

The death and injury of these two veterans undoubtedly affected the joy after the victory. Coupled with the casualties of other soldiers, the atmosphere in the city was a little heavy in the past two or three days, while cleaning up the mess, and everyone did not seem to be very happy.

Although the Wei army was defeated, it could not be taken too lightly. After all, they still have the strength of 30,000 or 40,000 horses. If you accidentally get it back, you're in trouble. Therefore, after all the defenders in the city returned, the cavalry led by General Long Yu kept an eye on the back of the Wei army, forcing them to go west in a threatening manner. If there were enough troops, of course the ministers Fei Yi and Long Yu would want to wipe out all the Wei Wushu near Dragon City. But it's a pity that if you fight hard like this, I'm afraid it will outweigh the losses. Even if all the Wei people are wiped out, then both sides will be defeated, and the vicinity of Dragon City will also be destroyed.

The defenders of the western border pass of Zhao had all gathered, and they cut off the retreat of this Wei army. As long as they want to escape back to Wei, then they will fall into a certain situation. Soon after, under the combined attack of the trailing Zhao cavalry and those Zhao troops who were waiting for work, Wei Wushu would not be able to escape! And this is exactly the best situation that Fei Yi and others are looking forward to.

It's just that the sky is unpredictable, and things change randomly. Even they who had already controlled the favorable situation did not expect that when the snow began to fall in Dragon City, there was a terrible enemy that had already come with the snowflakes, and the edge was about to approach Dragon City.

"Are you sure it's the army of the Qin people? Shang Yunbai...... Hehe! They're really picky! ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, a helpless wry smile appeared on Fei Yi's old face. I have to admit that the people of Qin are much more difficult to deal with than the people of Wei. Especially this time, it was the famous general Shang Yunbai who was dispatched! This person is not trivial, he has such a big reputation, and he is definitely not a wasted person. This time there may indeed be big trouble.

"Your Excellency, the safety of Dragon City is important! It's better to order General Long Yu to lead the cavalry back quickly! ”

Many of the people who rushed to the scene after receiving the news looked nervous. Although the dragon city began to be on alert again, the city gates were closed. But none of them had the confidence to withstand a more intense attack again. The reputation of the brutality of the Qin army spread all over the world, and since they came prepared this time, they would definitely not give up easily if they did not achieve their goal. Perhaps, now only by gathering all the strength can we barely fight against it. Soon, however, deeper concerns were raised.

"General Long Yu's cavalry must not return to Dragon City at this time! Their task was to keep an eye on the Wei people. If once they retreat and let the Wei army know the news, then they will definitely unite with the Qin army and make a comeback. Under the joint attack of the armies of Qin and Wei, Longcheng was even more unable to resist!"

What can I do? Everyone knows that such a bad situation is likely to happen next. If it is really as known by the military situation, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Qin State plus nearly 40,000 Wei soldiers, the Zhao army has no chance of winning no matter what.

"The state of Wei has been broken, and even the king of Wei has been captured by the king. Don't those Wei troops know yet? It's impossible for them to fight with the Qin people anymore!"

Shangda Doctor Zizhong thought more thoughtfully. Fei Yi nodded, and he also agreed with this analysis. However, who can guess the thoughts of those Wei Wushu who are full of the shame of defeat now?! If they break the jar and break it, in order to avenge the dead, it is also very possible that they will fight to the death with the people of the Qin State!
