On March 12, the Shao family attacked and led private soldiers to break through the imperial city and wash the palace in blood.

Gongzi An urgently led his troops into the palace to rescue him, and in the tragic palace change, he rescued the emperor and the prince of Shao and others, led the remnants of the defeated army to break through to the north.

In the early morning of March 13, Wu Jun effortlessly joined forces with the ministers of the clan and stationed in Shaocheng.

So far, in just a few days, the Wu army has broken through Shaocheng.

When the news came out, the countries were shocked.

No one knows what strategy the top leaders of the Wu army used to break through Shaocheng, because on the day of the capture of Shaocheng, the Wu army carried out a terrible massacre in Shaocheng, and the nobles and civilians in the city, whether they were fleeing refugees or surrendering soldiers, were all slaughtered.

The once prosperous Shaocheng has become a ghost domain in the world, with corpses and flesh all over the ground, and millions of fresh lives turned into piles of meat and paste.

That's right, after the capture of Shaocheng, the Wu army, as planned, besieged the city with a large army, the four gates were closed, and no one was allowed to escape from Shaocheng.

For three days in a row, Shaocheng, a century-old ancient capital, became a dead city.

When the news came out, the hearts of the people in all countries were shaken.

The massacre of civilians, in any war, is so bad that it can be spurned by all nations.

Of course, after the imperial capital of Shao was broken, the Wu army also completed the stage goal, leaving only 100,000 troops to continue to capture some of the remaining cities of Shao, and the rest of the army was mobilized to another front to fight against Chu and Mang.

Perhaps, as Wu Guo expected, Ruan Guo hesitated first.

It's not that Ruan Guo withdrew his troops, but after thinking about it, he stood still and waited to see how Mang and Chu reacted.

After all, Ruan is different from these two countries, whether it is Chu or Mang, it is difficult to refuse this piece of fat, but Ruan is different, it is not so eager to need land, and the first choice for expansion is not Wu, so it is not so important to destroy Wu.

After all, the decision of the alliance is only a kind of hope, and the real implementation of it depends on the real interests.

All of a sudden, the pressure on Wu was greatly reduced, and the monarchs and ministers of the country were excited.

Similarly, when the news reached the ears of the exiled Emperor Shao, it was a different feeling, and the already depressed appearance added a bit of sadness.

However, he did not completely cut off hope.

Because, there is still the country of Cang!

He firmly remembered that when he was in Cangguo, the emperor of Cangguo personally told him that even if Shao was destroyed, Cangguo would do his best to help Shao recover the country.

In the past few days, it is this belief that has supported him, and at the same time encouraged many soldiers, firmly believing that they will be able to recapture Shaocheng and regain the lost territory.

In the dead of night, Cordyceps is forested.

Emperor Shao led the remnants of the defeated army and stationed outside the city of Qianling.

This is a continuous mountainous area, where bandits and wild beasts are rampant all year round, and even experienced hunters dare not approach.

Under Gongzi'an's command, there are a total of 50,000 soldiers.

These were the troops he led into the palace to quell the rebellion, and he was still dissatisfied when he withdrew from Shaocheng, thinking that Wu would send troops to exterminate them, and it was better to surrender to live a life.

Even, there are many people shouting that Gongzi An is misleading.

But now, the real situation is clear at a glance, it is those families who really mislead the country, Gongzi An led everyone to withdraw from Shaocheng, which is equivalent to saving them.

In addition to rejoicing, he also re-established trust in Emperor Shao and Gongzi An.

Of course, this kind of trust will not translate into a good atmosphere, these soldiers are all Gongzi'an's pro-army, and a large part of the soldiers and generals have relatives in Shaocheng, or even their families settled in Shaocheng.

So, in the evening, the whole camp was filled with weeping, and if you went to the side of each tent to listen, you could hear faint sobs.

The atmosphere is sluggish!

To add insult to injury, Emperor Shao fell ill, and Gongzi An also fell ill.

Only a few dozen people escaped from the entire royal family, and none of Gongzi An's family escaped.

The officers and men of the whole army were in disarray and fell into a deep crisis.

Now, the only hope for the whole army is the rescue of Cangguo.

In the eyes of the soldiers of Shao State, even Wu State is not the opponent of Cang State, this is not a blind belief, but in the battle of Jin, the performance of the Cang State army is too dazzling, as long as the catapult arrives, Shao Cheng will definitely be recovered.

"Look! There's movement! ”

Suddenly, the soldier on duty at night lowered his voice and shouted.

Suddenly, a group of people woke up.

Camping in the middle of the night on the mountain, even being woken up by a snake can lead to a cascade of reactions, not to mention someone shouting like this.

Frightened!

In a few moments, the soldiers of the whole camp came out of the camp and looked in the direction of the guards on duty.

I saw that at the bottom of the mountain, I could faintly see a long torch like a dragon, which was driving towards the mountain.

Friend or foe?

All the soldiers looked at each other and were highly nervous, and a small number of them went to report to their direct generals.

Within a quarter of an hour, the whole camp was in a state of commotion.

The soldiers rushed to tell each other, and some generals directly took the soldiers of their headquarters to the bottom of the mountain to investigate.

"It's strange, if you're here to investigate, you shouldn't have come here in the middle of the night, and you shouldn't have held a torch!"

Emperor Shao, with the support of people, limped to the edge of the cliff to watch.

Judging from the movements of this group of people at the foot of the mountain, most of them are friendly troops.

However, where does Shao Jun have any allies?

Could it be that in the rest of the cities, the army of King Qin came to Qin?

Emperor Shao's heart was a little excited, there were still more than 30 cities in the north of Shaocheng that had not fallen, although most of the troops had been dispatched to Shaocheng to support before, but the local generals could still do it by temporarily piecing together a 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses.

The reason why he was excited was not because with this batch of soldiers and horses he could fight with the Wu army, but because with this batch of reinforcements, he could contact the local army and temporarily alleviate the problem of food and grass for the army.

Because, in order to take refuge, 50,000 soldiers were forced into the deep mountains and jungles by the Wu army, and the dry food on their bodies in the past few days has already been eaten.

Rao is like this, the food and grass of the 50,000 army is also unsustainable, and finding food has become the first priority in the escape, and the surrounding wild vegetables have also been picked up, almost to the point of gnawing the bark of trees.

Even Emperor Shao could only swallow the light game every day.

If there is no food to eat in two days, there is no need for the Wu army to chase and kill, and the Shao army will be self-defeating and will become a plate of scattered sand.

Therefore, once the battle under the mountain is an ally army, it means that the entire army of 50,000 is saved.

There were more than 5,000 people who led the troops down.

The remaining 40,000 or so people are all waiting with bated breath.

Time suddenly became very long, as if endless torment, Emperor Shao and Gongzi An dragged their sick bodies, waiting for news from the bottom of the mountain.

"Coax-"

"Oh-"

"Hooray—"

"Hooray—"

"We're saved—"

Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted from the bottom of the mountain, as if the pressure had been released at once, and the whole valley was shaken.

Generally speaking, even if tens of thousands of people are in the deep mountains, shouting in unison cannot be heard for a few miles, but at this time, they may be too excited, and the voices of the soldiers investigating under the mountain are high-pitched, even if they are a few miles away, they can be heard clearly.

On the silent mountain, more than 40,000 soldiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard these cheers.

You don't have to think about it to know that there must be reinforcements.

The soldiers below cheered, but Emperor Shao and Gongzi An glanced at each other and looked at each other.

Ordinary reinforcements, you don't have to be so excited, right?

Is there something special about it?

Or rather, ......

In the hearts of the two, they invariably had one more thought, and their hearts were pounding.

Cangjun?

As early as a few days ago, the monarchs and ministers of Shao Guo already knew that Cang Guo had sent reinforcements to support Shao Cheng.

At that time, the entire Shaocheng monarchs and ministers were still very excited, thinking that they were saved.

Unexpectedly, that night, there was a palace change.

According to the time, the army of Cangguo should also arrive near here, right?

"Aiqing, how many soldiers and horses did Cangguo say at the beginning?" Emperor Shao rubbed his head and asked Gongzi An next to him.

"Fifty thousand, and it is the most elite Qinglong Legion soldiers, directly from Wangji, calculate the time, it is just time to arrive."

Emperor Shao nodded, and suddenly said: "I just don't know, these 50,000 troops are all lightly armed, or they have brought heavy weapons, whether there are cavalry." ”

He recalled in his mind the grand occasion of the military parade in Cangcheng, the majesty of the phalanx, lingering in his mind, the Cangguo army with weapons and cavalry was almost invincible in his heart.

And if it is a lightly armed Cang soldier, it is much weaker.

Even the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion, who have experienced a hundred battles, cannot be said to have defeated twice the enemy of their own.

If there is a frontal battle, the 50,000 soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion will at most rely on the advantage of their portable weapons to compete with the 100,000 Wu army.

It is more than enough to keep the remaining cities of Shao State, but it is a fool's dream to recover Shao City and even other lost territories.

Half an hour later, a soldier from the mountain came to report.

As expected, it is the reinforcements of Cangguo!

"The foreign minister has seen His Majesty Emperor Shao, and His Majesty has been frightened, and I ask for forgiveness." A centurion of the Blue Dragon Legion walked up to the Emperor of Shao and saluted with his fists.

"The general's words are serious, the soldiers of your army have worked tirelessly to come to support, the down-and-out king, how can you forgive the word sin!"

Emperor Shao hurriedly returned the salute, if it was even a 10,000-strong general in normal times, he would not say a polite word by himself, but at this time, he was desperate to survive, and he asked for others, even if it was a small leader in the Cangguo army, he did not dare to offend.

was called a general by Emperor Shao, and the centurion did not explain, and hugged his fists and said: "Shao Guo and my Dacang have formed an alliance, the two countries are like brothers, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Emperor Shao raised his hand, wanting to say something more, but suddenly stopped again.

"Well, at this very moment, I won't be polite, I just want to ask the general, this time your army has a total of generals?"

Emperor Shao asked with a pleasant face, and the prince of Shao and the weak prince An next to him also looked forward to it.

Seeing this, the centurion was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the only thing that the foreign minister has brought is the five hundred brothers under the mountain. ”

Five hundred!

Only five hundred?

So little!

A thick look of disappointment appeared on the faces of the three of them, and the faces of the rest of the soldiers and soldiers around them who had been listening intently also became ugly.

What can 500 soldiers do?

Just come to a Wu army, it's not enough to stuff your teeth!

Rejoice in the air!

Noticing the change in the atmosphere around him, the centurion's heart began to despise these Shao monarchs and soldiers a little.

What a bunch of elm heads!

Five hundred brothers, of course, refers to the number of people who came to the mountains to look for Shao's army, could it be that our 50,000 soldiers all went out to the vast mountains to look for you, and then set up camp on the mountains together to survive and steal their lives?

The Blue Dragon Legion has never been afraid of anyone!

The Cangguo army has never been afraid of any enemy and dares to take the initiative, and the 50,000 troops of the Qinglong Legion have been drawn to Shao, not to help Shao defend the city, this can only be regarded as a small goal.

In the end, we are going to repel the Wu army and recover the entire lost territory of Shao!

Such a simple truth, picking out a centurion in the Blue Dragon Legion, can think of the key in his mind as soon as he turns his mind, but he didn't expect the monarchs and ministers of Shao State to be unable to figure it out!

The pattern is too small!

The centurion sighed in his heart, this is the advantage of the Cangguo army, all the soldiers have received the baptism of knowledge, the centurion is generally trained, and the thoughts and concepts, as well as the pattern are different.

The soldiers of Shao Guojun did not know that they were despised by a centurion of the Blue Dragon Legion, and they were still immersed in deep disappointment.

After a long time, Gongzi An cheered up and said weakly: "This general, I don't know what your army plans next?" ”

"We divided into several roads to search for the mountain, just to come to welcome your army down the mountain, do your army have any other strategies?" The centurion was surprised.

"This ...... Welcome us down the mountain? The prince of Shao Guo interjected, suddenly arched his hand, and said: "Please forgive the rude of this palace, and take the liberty of asking, is the general really from the Blue Dragon Legion?" ”

When he said this, Emperor Shao and Gongzi An also looked at the centurion quietly, with a look of vigilance.

After all, everyone knows that the mountain is now under the world of the Wu army, and a large number of Wu troops are stationed in the city of Qianling, always ready to attack the mountain to capture the emperor of Shao.

And now, the little leader in front of him, who claimed to be the Blue Dragon Legion, actually said that he would welcome Shao Guojun's ministers down the mountain.

Could it be that Wu Jun pretended to lure Shao Guojun and his ministers down the mountain?

Or rather, it was because of the expediency of going up the mountain to search for Shao Jun's location and being bumped into.

It's very likely!

Unconsciously, Emperor Shao began to squint his eyes and look at the centurion in front of him.

"Your Majesty, what are your concerns? Don't...... What is wrong with the words of the foreign minister? The centurion was stared at so much that he scratched his head, embarrassed.

"There are Wu Jun everywhere under the mountain, what is your intention to welcome me down the mountain at this time?" Emperor Shao had a direct showdown.

"Wu Jun is everywhere under the mountain?" The centurion was stunned for a moment, frowned, and then suddenly realized, laughed and said, "So that's the case! It seems that Your Majesty does not know that the Wu army in Steep Ling City has been repulsed by us, and it is now occupied by our Blue Dragon Legion."

"What!"

"Say it again!"
