Chapter 224: The Mountains and Rivers Society is light

Outside Luocheng, Zhongzhou, yellow flowers are stained with blood, and the grass is gloomy. After the first war, there was a desolate scene everywhere.

After the conditions put forward by several minor princes, led by the Marquis of Zhongshan, were rejected, war inevitably broke out. Although it had long been expected that there would be a bloody battle, when it really happened, all the people standing on the head of Los Angeles City couldn't help but feel tremors and fear in their hearts.

If you seriously talk about it, the scale of the battle that just ended outside the city is actually not large. In the face of the unreasonable abuse and provocation of the princes' army, General Zidun personally rushed out with two thousand Praetorian Guards. Three thousand against two thousand, fighting for half a day, there were casualties among each other. Then, the princes' armies burst out of the camp and launched a large-scale siege. Zidun and his soldiers fought bloodily, but they were outnumbered after all. Ji Mo, who rushed to the scene when he heard the news, saw that the situation was critical, and hurriedly sent someone out to respond. The Praetorian Guards retreated to the city, and after counting, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded.

"General Zidun, I have already told you that you can't go into battle lightly! Alas! Los Angeles was short of troops and could only hold on and wait for reinforcements. The life of any soldier must not be easily damaged! ”

There were only more than 5,000 warriors to fight, and more than 1,000 were lost in the first battle, and Ji Mo listened to the arrogant voices outside the city and felt that his heart seemed to be dripping blood.

Zidun's chest hurt and his face was full of shame. The Praetorian Guards who died outside the city were all comrades for many years. Yesterday, they were still talking and laughing with each other, but in the blink of an eye, they were separated by yin and yang, and they became lonely souls who died tragically. He only hated that he didn't have that much ability, and led them to kill all the enemy troops!

"Mo Gong, I have nothing to say, I am willing to accept the punishment. However, these guys deceived people so much that they insulted the Son of Heaven ...... in their words. ”

"Say no more. I don't mean to punish you. In the face of the great enemy, we should all work together to protect this royal city. No matter what happens, you must calm down and restrain yourself...... What about the wound, it doesn't matter, right? ”

Zidun had crooked armor and was slashed several times. Although it is not fatal, it is also drenched in blood and the injury is not light. But at this time, he naturally didn't care about these things.

"My little injury doesn't get in the way. As long as you can still carry a knife, you can go out and fight at any time. Mo Gong, I knew this was the case, and we should have expanded the army at all costs in the past few years. Alas! It's useless to say that now....... ”

Zidun's mood was very low. To tell the truth, the thousands of Praetorian Guards under his leadership have never experienced a real battlefield. Although most people were loyal to the Son of Heaven and the royal family, when they really fought for their lives, they found that they were not even opponents of the armies of these small princes.

In the face of the Praetorian General's complaints, Zimmer could only smile bitterly. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are The financial resources of the Great Zhou royal family are okay to support these thousands of Praetorian Guards, but it is already difficult to maintain a huge army. Fortunately, from the general down to every soldier, they have different and various relationships with the royal family. It can be said that solidarity is inseparable, and there is no need to consider loyalty. At this point, he had no other way to think of it. The only way to motivate morale is to delay as much time as possible.

"Give everyone all the reward that is due. Those who died in battle must be given generous compensation. Within Los Angeles, they are all one. In this time of crisis, we should mobilize the strength of all people to jointly protect this royal city. Otherwise, no one will be spared on the day the city is broken...... Let's all go our separate ways! ”

Zimmer waved his hand to Zidun and the others, telling them to do what they commanded. This confrontation outside the city made the people in the city recognize the facts. The ferocity of these petty princes is beyond their imagination. It seems that they will not give up until they achieve their goal this time. Moreover, what is even more worrying is that the army of the Qin Dynasty is not far away, and it may arrive at any time. By the time the tiger and wolf army finally can't help but show its fangs, how long can this lonely city last?!

The last pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty stood on the city wall and waited for the stars and the moon to wait for rescue, and his hair was dyed white by the autumn frost overnight.

And on the northern border of Zhongzhou, an army of 30,000 from the Qin State has blocked all passages in this direction. Don't say that there are no princes to come to the rescue, even if they want to take the opportunity to take advantage of the excitement by the way, seeing the steaming murderous aura of the Qin army, they should quickly hide far away, so as not to get into trouble and find themselves unlucky.

Since this Qin army came out of Guguan, it was like a tiger coming out of the mountain, and under the leadership of the veteran Wang Feng, it advanced here in one day and one night. Along the way, it can be said that it is unimpeded, and the ghosts and gods are easy.

Since encamping under this mountain, there has been a temporary recuperation. Wang Feng had already passed on the battle intent to the ears of every general. Their goal this time was very clear, that is, to obey the order of the King of Qin, send troops to Los Angeles at the most appropriate opportunity, and help the King of Qin fulfill the dream in his heart.

This task can be described as a great honor. All the generals were in good spirits. However, in Wang Feng's heart, he didn't feel that this was something too proud.

As one of the people who knew King Qin's ambitions for the world, when he was in Feng'an, Wang Feng also participated in the most secret military meeting. At the palace meeting under the personal chairmanship of the King of Qin, he, like several other famous generals, officially accepted the royal order to start fighting for the great cause of the world.

As the most trusted and core generals of King Qin, if Wang Feng was to choose by himself, he would actually very much want to exchange tasks with Mu Xueqing. However, he was not able to do so.

Of the eight famous generals of the Qin State, there are three of the Wang family, Wang Feng, Wang Li, and Wang Jian. In the past few years, the Wang family has been known as the largest family in the Qin State and has received special courtesy from the Qin royal family.

However, this glory is now stained. In less than a year, Wang Li died, Wang Jian's defeat was humiliated, and several of the younger generations in the family who had high hopes also died on the battlefield. Such a drastic change has undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the Wang family.

Wang Feng very much wanted to go to the Zhao Congress to meet that Chu Jiangmian in person. This young man, who soared to the sky in the legend, is the culprit who caused all this. It's just that King Qin didn't give him this opportunity.

"General Wang, there is Mu Xueqing on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, so there is no need to worry. And the battle of Zhongzhou is the most important thing! Only if you go to command in person, can the widow be reassured. ”

On the day of the expedition, Nie Feng, the king of Qin, personally took his hand and entrusted him with a serious speech. And Wang Feng naturally understands the weight in these words. At the same time, he also knew better what the purpose of the young master Nie Wushuang, who had secretly followed the army to come.

Thinking of this, Wang Feng casually glanced at the young man sitting not far away. Nie Wushuang, who had been clearly established as the successor by King Qin, was looking through some of the information he had gathered. His brow furrowed slightly, as if he had noticed something unusual in it.

"Chu Jiangmian actually went to the Qi Kingdom...... Why didn't such an important matter come back sooner? ”

Nie Wushuang's tone was very grim. And the Hook Kill Spy who bowed next to him looked a little nervous. The news is indeed a bit delayed. But they are not to blame. Who would have thought that Zhao Guo's secrecy work would be done so well? No one knows how King Zhao Chu Jiangmian went to the Qi Kingdom. And by the time the place of annihilation was finally determined, he was already in the army of the Qi State.

"King Zhao hid his whereabouts, and Qianji Pavilion blocked all news about him. originally thought that when the territory of Zhao was not stable, he would definitely not go out easily. But I didn't expect it...... This is all caused by our negligence, please be less responsible! ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, everything Chu Jiangmian did is very predictable, you must pay more attention to him in the future!"

Kill the spy and hurriedly promise. He didn't expect Nie Wushuang to be so tolerant. The severity of this young master is well known. In some cases, it is more powerful than Comfort Wuzi. But he heard the other party sneer, and then said something to himself.

"Chu Jiangmian, are you going to Qi Country so urgently, do you want to send yourself to death? Hum! In front of General Mu Xueqing, do you also have the capital to fight against him? It's overwhelming! ”

Seeing the sneer on the young master's face, the Gou Kill Spy and the attendants around him also thought so. Wang Feng, who was not far away, looked at the combat deployment at hand again, and he didn't think that Chu Jiangmian would change anything when he went to the Qi Congress.

However, the development of events soon turned their perception upside down. Soon after, the flying horses came in a hurry, and the two news sent by King Qin himself surprised them.

The first news was that Mu Xueqing was defeated and killed in the Qi State. 10,000 elite cavalry of the Qin State were annihilated. And the second was the order of the King of Qin to urge them to march immediately in a stern tone.

Although Wang Feng and Mu Xueqing did not have a deep friendship, this news also made him feel sorry and sad. Not to mention Nie Wushuang. It was tantamount to a slap in the face. Just a moment ago, he thought that Chu Jiangmian had gone to Qi Country to bring on his own bad luck. However, he was wrong.

Mu Xueqing's defeat made Nie Wushuang and everyone else have to reassess Chu Jiangmian's strength. From now on, he has become a real rival. After being stunned for a long time, Wang Feng picked up his sword.

"Young master, the king's order has been issued, let's fight as quickly as possible, enter Los Angeles, and take Jiuding."

Nie Wushuang nodded heavily. For the hatred of Zhao Guo and Chu Jiangmian, it seems that he can only put it in his heart for the time being. I believe that it won't take too long for the Qin State to use all the strength of the country to settle it with them!

It's just that neither he nor Wang Feng expected that they didn't have to wait for them to attack Zhao again, and that King Zhao would also take the initiative to trouble them.
