Chapter 825: The Dust Settles (Second Update)

"What?" As soon as everyone present heard this, their faces changed dramatically.

I thought that I had gotten rid of the pursuit of Zhao Guoren, but I didn't expect that Zhao Guoren would still catch up.

Ji Xing didn't care about anything else at this moment, and asked directly: "How many soldiers are there in Zhao State?" ”

In Ji Xing's opinion, as long as there are not too many people from Zhao Guo who come, then he is not without hope of fighting and retreating from this place.

Anyway, didn't that damn woman (Empress Dowager Yan) want to return to the Yan Kingdom? Let her come back here!

With the change just now, Ji Xing's attitude towards Empress Dowager Yan has also changed.

People are selfish, although Ji Xing does love the Empress Dowager Yan very much, but this does not mean that he is willing to die for the Empress Dowager Yan.

The scout replied in a panic: "I don't know, I just saw the smoke and dust billowing out, there should be a lot of people!" ”

Ji Xing's heart sank, and it was not difficult to see from the scout's answer that the cavalry of the Zhao State who caught up was at least more than a thousand.

A thousand people is certainly not difficult to deal with in peacetime, even for cavalry. But the problem is that the army led by Ji Xing has just escaped all night, and it is when people are sleepy and tired, where is there any combat effectiveness now?

The sound of horses' hooves from outside was getting closer and closer, Ji Xing's heart was extremely anxious, and she couldn't help but shout: "Queen Mother, don't let your people let me go quickly, do you want us to die here today?" ”

"Let him go."

The long sword in front of Ji Xing's chest slowly retreated.

Ji Xing, who had regained her freedom, turned her head and glanced at the Empress Dowager Yan viciously, and then the whole person got on the horse and headed towards the mouth of the valley.

The valley is not big, and soon Ji Xing came to the mouth of the valley, looked outside, and sure enough, he saw a cavalry rolling in, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun.

Ji Xing's face changed greatly: "Zhao Jun is here, go quickly, go quickly!" With that, he ignored the others, and fled straight to the north.

It's too late, Ji Xing just wants to let herself leave this hell place first, as for the fate of other people, this is no longer within the scope of Ji Xing's consideration.

Because the time was very short, there were only hundreds of North Korean guards on horseback who followed Ji Xing.

Ji Xing ran away, so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

I'm leading an army of 50,000! As a result, there are not even 500 people around now......

"Li Mu !!" Ji Xing kept silently reciting this name in her heart, eager to crush the owner of the name.

But for Miki, the nightmare isn't over yet.

About a quarter of an hour after he escaped, the North Korean guards around Ji Xing suddenly let out a panicked cry.

"Zhao Guoren has caught up!"

"What?" Ji Xing was shocked by this news, and when he looked back, he found that a cavalry of Zhao State, numbering about three or four hundred, was chasing after him tightly, and kept closing the distance.

"Run, run!" Ji Xing's sense of crisis was stimulated to the extreme, and the whole person smoked the horse under his crotch lifelessly, only thinking about the farther away from the chasing army behind him, the better.

However, as mentioned before, the long-distance escape had already exhausted the people around Ji Xing to the extreme, and now they have only stayed for less than a quarter of an hour to continue to set off, which is an incomparably devastating thing for both people and horses.

Running and running, blood foamed from the mouth and nose of the horse under Ji Xing's crotch, but Ji Xing's whole person was unconscious, and he still drove the horse to flee to the north without his life.

The cavalry of the Zhao army had already chased closer, and the sound of whizzing arrows breaking through the air kept ringing, and the cavalry around Ji Xing kept being shot off the horse, and the number was getting smaller and smaller.

"Whoosh!" There was another loud sound, and Ji Xing only felt an incomparable sense of crisis rising from his heart, and subconsciously hid his body desperately.

"Ahh Ji Xing screamed, his left arm had been completely pierced by an arrow, and the whole person could no longer sit still, and rolled directly off the horse, falling to pieces.

The dense sound of horses' hooves sounded in Ji Xing's ears, and the sky above his head instantly became dim, and Ji Xing, who had finally come back to his senses, looked up, only to find that he had been surrounded by the cavalry of Zhao State, and a tall Zhao general who looked like he should be a Hu person was looking at Ji Xing with interest, with a playful smile on his face.

"Boy, why didn't you run away?"

This general is none other than Yiqu Sheng.

Ji Xing was angry from his heart, and the anger of the whole person suddenly exploded, and he jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and pulled out his long sword with his right hand and stabbed at Yiqu Sheng in front of him.

However, halfway through the sword, Ji Xing suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and the whole person lost all his strength at once.

The next moment, the sky suddenly swirled in front of Ji Xing, and he found that the earth was rapidly moving away from him.

Yiqu Sheng raised the spear in his hand high, and said to Ji Xing, who had been pierced by the tip of the spear and picked up in the air: "I wanted to capture a prince prisoner, but since you don't know what to do like this, it's not bad to take a prince's head, this general hasn't killed a person like the prince yet!" ”

A flash of sword light flashed, and Ji Xing's head rose to the sky.

……

And in the valley at this moment, the battle is completely over.

In fact, this battle did not last long, the cavalry of Zhao State was just a charge, and the thousands of remnants of the defeated generals in the valley who had long been exhausted were completely routed.

What is even more desperate is that because Taniguchi has been completely blocked by the Zhao army, this time they didn't even have a chance to escape, so they had to throw down their weapons one by one and kneel on the ground, surrendering to the Zhao cavalry in front of them.

But not everyone surrendered to the Zhao people, the carriage where the Empress Dowager Yan and the King of Yan were located was tightly guarded by hundreds of Yan army guards, and was surrounded by the Zhao army cavalry in the center of the valley.

Suddenly, the cavalry of the Zhao army made way of the way, and the heavily armed Li Mu appeared in the sight of the Yan soldiers on horseback.

"Li Mu, the governor of the northern part of Zhao State, is here, dare to ask the queen mother and the king?"

A moment later, Empress Dowager Yan appeared in Li Mu's sight.

Although everyone knew that she was at the end of her rope, the face of the Queen Mother of Yan Kingdom was still very calm, and there was no sign of panic at all.

"This place is Yan Land, why did the Metropolitan Governor invade without authorization?"

Li Mu smiled and did not answer Empress Dowager Yan's question, because he felt that there was no need to discuss issues with an angry woman.

"My king misses the queen mother and the king, and invites the queen mother and the king to go to Handan!"

Empress Dowager Yan stared at Li Mu, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Then Ke'er is going to be named a Yan Jun and become his Zhao Dan's courtier, right?" You told him Zhao Dan that the old woman died here today, and she didn't want to go back to Handan to see his face! ”

The iceberg-like face completely disintegrated at this moment, and there was only endless resentment.

As soon as Empress Dowager Yan's words fell, the situation on the field suddenly became tense, and the cavalry of Zhao State raised their sabers and spears one after another, while the Yan State Janissaries moved closer together, ready to deal with the next battle.

Mu Li let out a long sigh and said, "Queen Mother, now that the matter has come to this, doesn't the Queen Mother know that the fall of the Yan Kingdom is inevitable?" These people are all warriors of the Yan Kingdom, does the Queen Mother really want them to die here in vain? King Yan doesn't seem to be ten years old this year, can the Queen Mother bear to let him die at a young age? ”

"Enough!" The general of the Yan Guard's Praetorian Guard, who was guarding in front of the Empress Dowager Yan, shouted: "We are the courtiers of the Yan Kingdom, and it is also our duty to die for the Yan Kingdom today!" No matter how clever you are, you won't want us to lay down our arms! ”

Li Mu didn't pay attention to General Yan, but still focused on the Empress Dowager Yan, and continued to persuade: "If the Empress Dowager wants to be martyred for the Yan Kingdom, this matter is indeed easy. But please also think about it, if the Queen Mother and the king die here, then the Yan Kingdom will never have peace, countless people of the Yan Kingdom will die because of this, and the land of the Yan Kingdom will no longer be as prosperous as it used to be! Is this what the Queen Mother wants to see? ”

Li Mu's words were sincere, which made Empress Dowager Yan's body tremble.

She has been married to this country for many years and knows the character of the people of this country very well.

There is no doubt that once the news of the death of Empress Dowager Yan and King Yan here, no matter how calm the Yan Kingdom is at this moment, a wave of great resistance against the Zhao State is inevitable.

Resistance will inevitably be accompanied by repression, once the repression is over, how many people will die in the Yan Kingdom? No one knows the answer to this question, but everyone knows that it must be an extremely scary and terrifying number.

And if Empress Dowager Yan chooses to surrender to Zhao with King Xiaoyan, then the resistance will naturally be much smaller, and the number of dead people will naturally be much, much less.

There was silence in the valley, and everyone's eyes were on Empress Dowager Yan, waiting for her answer.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Yan let out a long sigh and said to the Praetorian Guard general in front of her, "Put down your arms." ”

"What?" The Praetorian Guard General's body shook violently, and he couldn't help but say: "Queen Mother, don't fall for this person's tricks!" ”

"Lay down your arms!" Empress Dowager Yan suddenly shouted out of shape.

"There have been so many sacrifices for this war...... Enough is enough! Yan Kingdom is the Yan Kingdom of the old woman and the king, if someone must bear this sin, let the old woman and the king bear it. ”

The Praetorian Guard general gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and his voice trembled and issued an order.

"Lay down your arms!"

After a while, the sound of clanging sounded, and all the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom put down their weapons, and their faces were extremely sad, and some even cried bitterly.

The dust settled.
