Chapter 340: Big Dipper Starlight Cold
Outside the north gate of Los Angeles, from morning to evening, more than 30,000 Qin troops on the opposite side had been standing still and did not attack from this direction. This made many people who defended the city feel a little relieved, but at the same time, they couldn't help but admire King Zhao's foresight.
The guards at the north gate are actually very weak. If the Qin army really launched an attack from this side at the same time, then I believe that it would not take an hour to break through the city. General Qi, who had been standing on the head of the city and watching nervously, had his heart hanging for a whole day. When twilight finally returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his men to take turns resting and sit on the ground for a while.
There's no way around it. With more than 10,000 men guarding this vast royal city, there was already a shortage of manpower. In the face of the menacing Qin army, every direction must be ready to do so. However, earlier, at the military battle meeting presided over by King Zhao himself, he deployed the main forces in Xicheng. And these defenders in other directions are very weak.
For this reason, some soldiers of the Qi State once raised objections. They believed that it was very dangerous for King Zhao to make such an arrangement when they could not figure out the specific siege strategy of the Qin army. If the general of the Qin State launched a main attack from other directions, he would not be able to defend a city gate with thousands of people. However, Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian just smiled and told them to rest assured that they would do what they were ordered. He didn't explain much. Only one thing is said to all of them.
"The direction chosen by the army of the Qin State is Xicheng, and the other city gates can be assured for the time being...... As long as you can hold out for three days, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
The soldiers of the Qi State, including some of the Zhao State's personal entourage, did not understand why the King of Zhao had such great confidence. But they believed him unconditionally. The enemy is currently besieging the city. Now perhaps only by working together will we be able to overcome the crisis.
"General! King Zhao is really amazing. The main force of the Qin army attacked for a day, and the troops were lost. But the west gate is still unharmed...... I hope that tomorrow, the frustrated Qin people will be able to suspend the offensive! ”
I heard the lieutenant general talking about the news that had just come back from the West City Gate with a slightly excited tone. The commander of the Qi army, however, shook his head with a wry smile. Being able to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Qi Kingdom to Zhongzhou is naturally a person that Queen Wuyan trusts very much. And the main task he accepted was to protect the princess from any harm. For this goal, even if all of them sacrificed their lives, they did not hesitate. But now, Her Royal Highness the princess and them are besieged in Los Angeles, and the situation is too bad.
"The reason why the people of Qin are called the division of tigers and wolves is because they have a ferocious tiger and wolf nature in their bones. Alas! Today's setbacks and those who have died can only fuel the brutal longing in their hearts. Tomorrow's battle may be even more tragic...... ”
General Qi's frown made all his subordinates bow their heads. Everyone knows in their hearts that this is definitely not an exaggeration, but a reality that will be ushered in. What awaits them all will be an uphill battle like never before.
"I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess is well...... No matter what the outcome is, we will do our best to protect her back to the Qi Kingdom!"
Looking at the vast expanse outside the city from afar, General Qi held his sword tightly. Defeating the 100,000 Qin army led by the first general, Shang Yunbai, was something they didn't even dare to think about. In the current situation, if all their lives were exchanged for the peace of the princess, it might already be the best outcome!
At the same moment, in the Qin army camp stationed outside the North City Gate, General Meng Jun was not planning a battle as the defenders feared. The soldiers under his command are recuperating. And this famous general with a mission looked at the figure in the night in silence, although he tried his best to keep calm, but he still couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.
The Chinese army's tent was heavily guarded, and no one dared to approach within a hundred steps. And around him are absolute henchmen. At this moment, more than a dozen people were looking nervously at their general, not knowing what decision he would make.
Who would have thought that since they left Feng'an City, in such a short period of time, the situation inside and outside the court of King Qin suddenly changed, and something unexpected happened!
"What did His Royal Highness the Prince say?"
After a long time, Meng Jun finally asked in a low voice. No one could guess what was in his mind. Including Prince Qin's henchmen who rushed over from Feng'an. And this person that Nie Wushuang absolutely trusted, only replied to him with a calm expression.
"If the general wants his family to become the number one family in the world, please follow His Highness's orders!"
The people around looked at each other. They all understood that once Meng Jun nodded and agreed, he could no longer regret it. This is a life-threatening matter, including all of them, and the family behind them, will become a staunch supporter of Prince Nie Wushuang from now on. One is prosperous, and one is lost. There's no room for manoeuvre!
He ...... Has it been launched now? ”
"The general need not hesitate any longer! By the time I set out, the Peerless Prince had already laid everything out. In the past few days, the overall situation in Feng'an City must have been decided! Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime, and if the general misses it, there will never be another one. Hehe! ”
There was a cold smile on the envoy's face. He believes that the famous general, who came from the Montessori family, will definitely make the right choice. No matter how loyal a person is to the King of Qin, once the interests of the family are involved, they will also take care of themselves first. And his judgment was not wrong. After a little silence, when Meng Jun raised his head, there was already a determination in his eyes.
"Good! In that case, I would like to obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince. From now on, the Mengjia army will swear allegiance to the death, and there will be no two hearts!"
Hearing that he had finally made a decision, the faces of the people present were a little complicated. They have both a desperate desire for the future and many uncertain worries. However, now that the general has made his attitude clear, it is natural that everyone will fully support it.
The envoy who had come secretly on Nie Wushuang's orders laughed. Meng Jun's attitude was not unexpected at all, this was indeed a person who knew the times. And as long as they have the support of this army, coupled with the strength they have attracted and cultivated in the past, it is enough to control the overall situation. Don't worry about the situation in the rear, what needs to be done urgently now is to immediately control the 100,000 elite Qin State troops in their hands before the news spreads. And this needs to be done with the help of Meng Jun's means. "Shang Yunbai's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Prince has always been cold. Over the years, His Highness has lost patience with him. This person is no longer usable until great things have been accomplished! General Meng, this sword was given by His Highness himself...... You should know what to do, right? ”
Hearing the murderous aura that suddenly appeared in the envoy's tone, everyone present was shocked. No one is stupid, and if you can't hear the outside of it, you're really a fool.
However, Meng Jun seems to have been mentally prepared for a long time. Expressionlessly, he reached out and took the sword, and replied in a resolute tone.
"Shang Yunbai, as a general, commanded an army of 100,000, but he couldn't even capture a weakly defended Los Angeles. The first battle was lost, and the losses were heavy. This is not because of the war, but because he has the heart to collaborate with the enemy!"
"Really? Ha ha! No one else is to blame. Does General Meng have conclusive evidence? ”
"Before the war, I met King Zhao privately. And the two talked happily outside the wine city...... Isn't that enough? ”
"Good! Shang Yunbai really has a heart of disobedience. The last time he was defeated, it felt strange. And this time, under such advantageous conditions, thousands of casualties were paid but not an inch was achieved...... Hum! With this punishment, it is expected that no one in the army will be dissatisfied. ”
In the simple answer between the two people, Shang Yunbai's fate was sealed. Who would have thought that the majestic No. 1 general would become a guilty body in the blink of an eye? Compared with his fate, the drama that is being staged in Feng'an City of Qin Guo is even more exciting.
It seems that there is a giant hand in the dark that is quietly stirring the waves, and there seems to be a superb national hand who has gently dropped a key one. In places where no one can see, some layouts have long been quietly completed.
After five years, the final settlement of the temple was won before the battle. The general trend of the world is in the palm of your hand...... If God opened his eyes and watched all this soberly, I am afraid that he would be surprised!
The fire that began to burn in the Zichen Palace that day marked the official end of a declining dynasty. And today's battle of Los Angeles is a real contest between the two strongest vassal states in the world. Although this war seems to have a huge disparity between strength and weakness, there is not much suspense. But it was precisely from tonight that a decisive battle destined to go down in history arose suddenly!
The moonlight is dark. Xiao Qi, who was being held in a camp, suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked to find that someone was standing beside him and had cut the rope that bound him casually.
"Who are you...... What are you going to do? ”
"No need to ask. You just need to know that Shang Yunbai is in danger...... Let's go! ”
"Why should I trust you?"
"You don't have to trust me, but trust your own judgment!"
"So...... Thanks a lot! ”
A moment later, Xiao Qi, who had regained his freedom, disappeared into the darkness like a night owl. The person who came to save him secretly glanced at the corpse lying in the long grass around him, smiled coldly, and also threw himself away.
On an ordinary night, murder is rife. At the head of L.A., someone looked up at the stars in the northern night sky, as if they saw that majestic and loving face. He muttered silently in his heart.
"Your wish is finally a little eyebrow-raising...... Alas! It's a lot of brains! Over there, if you're feeling lonely, celebrate with a glass of wine on your own!"
