Chapter 498: The Great Army Arrives
"No!" Hearing that Pharmacist Guo was about to open the city gate, Zhang Ziqiu was taken aback and hurriedly stopped.
"Why not?" Guo Yaoshi said.
"Master, the night is so dark, no one knows if the junior brother is back! Maybe the Song army came to our city! Zhang Ziqiu said.
"Yes, you have some point." Pharmacist Guo was stunned for a moment and nodded.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves from the north is getting louder and louder, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
"Hurry up and open the gates!" Finally, a voice was heard from the army below the city.
"Zikun, did you lead the army back?" Pharmacist Guo hurriedly asked.
Guo Yaoshi is one of the three great masters of the Demon Dao, and his internal strength is extremely profound, and at this moment, the voice is far away, and it can be heard clearly within more than ten miles on the grassland.
"Marshal, General Zikun is seriously injured, please open the city gate quickly and let us in, so that the general can heal his wounds." There was another voice from below.
"Ahh Pharmacist Guo was taken aback, and was about to give an order, but at this moment Zhang Ziqiu spoke again.
"Where is Uncle Liu? Let him come out and speak. Zhang Ziqiu said coldly.
"Uncle Liu was also seriously injured and unable to speak." It was a long time before a voice came from below.
"Where's Uncle Qian?" Zhang Ziqiu said.
"The big war happened, and Uncle Qian didn't know where he went." A voice came from below.
"Master, that's right, it's Song Jun who is coming below, not the junior brother who has returned!" Zhang Ziqiu sneered.
Pharmacist Guo nodded slightly.
He was worried about Liu Zikun in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation of Liu Zikun and the others was, but at this time, the Song army below actually came in the direction of the city wall again.
Whoosh!
In the night, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard, and countless arrows shot towards the city wall!
"Not good!" Guo Yaoshi was taken aback, his palms pushed forward, only to hear a slight popping sound, and the arrows in front of him were shattered by the force of his palm.
However, the rest of the soldiers on the city wall did not have such martial arts as him, and for a while, there were screams everywhere!
"Hurry up and fight back!" Zhang Ziqiu said hurriedly.
But it was dark and it was raining heavily, and at this moment the resentful soldiers on the city wall were already in chaos, and they were hiding behind the city wall, and no one dared to come out and fight back!
The arrows below continued to shoot upward, and after a while, there was a loud laugh from below, and then Song Jun left.
"Damn, I almost fell for Song Jun's strategy! If they had been let in just now, wouldn't Yuzhou have to be conquered by them? Pharmacist Guo gritted his teeth and said.
"Master, I don't know what happened to my junior brother? Why did the Song army come to the city of Yuzhou? Zhang Ziqiu said.
"Your junior brother is leading a group of people with the highest martial arts skills in the army, and they won't have too many problems! I guess the biggest possibility is that your junior brother is still chasing and killing the Song army, but a small group of Song troops fled to the city of Yuzhou, so this is why this happened. Guo Yaoshi said.
"I hope so." Zhang Ziqiu said.
Guo Yaoshi walked around the city wall, his brows furrowed, and after a while, he said, "Ziqiu, you go to the north and see where your junior brothers have gone!" If I see your brother, let him come back soon! The so-called poor Kou Mo chases, if he defeats the Song army, he doesn't have to chase them all the time! ”
Zhang Ziqiu was also very worried about Liu Zikun in his heart, so he nodded and said, "The disciple knows, I'll go down now." ”
Qin Yuzhen had been standing aside, and said at this moment: "Senior Uncle Guo, why don't I accompany Senior Brother Zhang on a trip!" Now there are too many Song troops on the grassland, and there are countless masters among them, I am afraid that Senior Brother Zhang will be difficult to deal with alone. ”
Pharmacist Guo nodded, and Xue Susu next to him also said, "I will also accompany Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Sister Qin to take a look outside." ”
Qin Yuzhen said: "This trip is dangerous, Sister Xue still stays here, and we will return soon." ”
Zhang Ziqiu also said: "Senior Sister Xue is waiting for us here!" ”
They all said this, although Xue Susu wanted to go to the grassland to "adventure" again, but he was helpless and couldn't leave Yuzhou City.
At that moment, someone put Zhang Ziqiu and Qin Yuzhen down from the city wall, and the two took advantage of the dark night to go north.
After Guo Yaoshi stood on the city wall for a while, he called more than a dozen masters in the army, and ordered these dozen masters in the army to advance towards Zhongjing again and convey the news to Zhongjing.
******
Zhang Ziqiu and Qin Yuzhen performed light skills and headed towards the north, and they could constantly see the cavalry of the Song army along the way.
The two were cautious, at this time they knew that the Song army was powerful, and they no longer dared to ram the large army of the Song army, and in most cases they took a detour.
"There are traces of the army passing north, and my junior brother once passed here." When passing by a meadow, Zhang Ziqiu said.
Qin Yuzhen nodded.
"It's a wine gourd! The soldiers of the Song army are strictly disciplined, there will be no such thing in the army, only the resentful army will have such a thing! The sky gradually brightened, and the rain still did not stop, Qin Yuzhen saw a wine gourd and said.
The two of them moved on.
"There are corpses here! It's the corpse of one of my uncles in the army! After walking for another three or four miles, Zhang Ziqiu said suddenly.
"Look, there's a corpse over there, too!" Qin Yuzhen pointed forward and said.
Zhang Ziqiu was anxious, and he didn't reply, striding forward.
The further you go, the more corpses there are!
Two miles away, the mountains were already full of dead bodies!
In addition to the corpses of people, there are also the corpses of horses!
Most of the corpses had arrows stuck in their bodies, and a few were killed by spears!
"It's my soldier who complains about the army!" Zhang Ziqiu muttered.
"Your junior brother is strong in martial arts, and he has entered the innate realm, so he should be able to escape." Qin Yu really said.
"Not bad." Zhang Ziqiu nodded reluctantly and said.
He kept looking around, hoping to find a living soldier of the resentful army, but after looking around, he didn't see a single living person!
Tens of thousands of people died here, and the Song army didn't have time to bury them, so let them lie on this grassland! As the old saying goes, "Hutian snow flies in August", and now it is late September, and it is possible to snow on the grassland, and the weather is cold, so I am not afraid of the epidemic after these corpses decompose.
"These 10,000 people are the elite of my resentment army, and there are many masters among them, why were they completely annihilated by the Song army?" Zhang Ziqiu said.
"I think the method of training the army is completely wrong! Since ancient times, there has never been a martial arts master who can get the things of the world! A truly strong army is disciplined, loyal and daring to fight, and is not afraid of life and death, which is by no means matched by a rabble composed of martial arts masters. Qin Yu really said.
"You're right." Zhang Ziqiu lost his soul and said.
"We need to tell the Lingshi the news here, and persuade the Lingshi to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty again! Continuing to resist is a dead end. Qin Yu really said.
"I have to find my junior brother first." Zhang Ziqiu said.
It's a pity that Liu Zikun has been trampled into a pulp by the chaotic army yesterday, and his bones are gone, how can Zhang Ziqiu find Liu Zikun?
It was raining heavily in the sky, but Zhang Ziqiu felt extremely sad in his heart! When he was in Zhongshan and Hejian, he also saw the Central Plains War, but at that time it was the Song army and Jin soldiers who died.
"Why do humans have wars?" Zhang Ziqiu muttered.
"When any country or nation rises, it wants to seize other people's places, and war is inevitable." Qin Yuzhen sighed softly.
"Let's go back." Zhang Ziqiu said.
Qin Yuzhen nodded.
It was already dark, and the two did not dare to go directly to the south, so they first headed towards the east, preparing to make a detour back to Yuzhou.
However, they had been walking east for half an hour when they suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves in the east!
The two hurriedly hid in the grass, and they looked to the east!
I saw an extremely large cavalry team appear on the grassland in the east, and they were also wearing the uniforms of the Song army! This cavalry team is all over the mountains, and the sound of war horses can be heard constantly whistling by!
"It's the Song army in Nanhe and Hezhong, and they have also begun to advance towards Yuzhou!" Zhang Ziqiu felt a chill on his body and said.
"Yuzhou City is very dangerous now!" Qin Yu really said.
Zhang Ziqiu nodded, and the two continued south.
Along the way, they could constantly encounter the rangers of the Song army, and the two kept dodging, until noon they came to the city of Yuzhou.
However, after arriving here, both of them stared!
An extremely large number of armies appeared in the south!
This time it was the infantry that appeared! They lined up in countless phalanxes and came towards Yuzhou, which was now only a few miles away!
"This ...... How many Song troops were there? Zhang Ziqiu said.
"I don't know, it's too much, it's too much! Let's hurry back to the city and make the commander surrender immediately!" Qin Yu really said.
Zhang Ziqiu nodded silently.
At this moment, the soldiers of the resentful army on the city wall have obviously also seen the scene in the south, and there are exclamations everywhere at the moment!
At noon on September 22, 120,000 troops of the Middle Route Army and 100,000 troops of the East Route Army from the southeast came to Yuzhou City and surrounded Yuzhou City! In the afternoon, another army of tens of thousands of people came from the southeast, which was a militia contingent subordinate to the Liaodong Military Region, and they brought countless siege weapons to the city of Yuzhou!
