The remnants of the Flame Guards and the warriors of the Gochang Kingdom had to temporarily retreat within the walls of the palace due to the poisoned arrows used by the soldiers of the Guards Battalion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rashid, Merzug, and Adufu of the Holy Fire Sect, as well as the commander of the Gaochang Kingdom, Said, were not injured, but the faces of the four were very ugly.

After retreating into the courtyard, a check of the number of people showed that only fourteen of the forty Sacred Fire Guards in the Eastern Diocese of the Holy Fire Sect were left, including one Diamond-level Sacred Fire Guardian, two Gold-level Sacred Fire Guards, four Silver-level Sacred Fire Guards, and seven Bronze-level Sacred Fire Guards, and the surviving Diamond-level Sacred Fire Guardian was Rashid, and the other two Diamond-level Sacred Fire Guards of the Eastern Diocese were all killed by the poisoned arrows just now.

The poison that Liu Ji seized from Zhuqi's palace was indeed domineering, and even the diamond-level Holy Fire Guard, that is, the top general, couldn't bear it, as long as the skin was scratched a little by the poisoned arrow coated with this poison, his life would not be saved in a few breaths.

Of the fifty Flame Guardians in the Southeastern Diocese of the Holy Fire Cult, only nineteen remain, including three Diamond Flame Guards, three Gold Flame Guards, five Silver Flame Guards, and eight Bronze Flame Guards.

Of the sixty Flame Guards of the Northeast Diocese of the Holy Fire Sect, only eleven of them could be withdrawn from the wall, including three diamond-level Flame Guards, two Gold-level Flame Guards, three Silver-level Flame Guards and three Bronze-level Flame Guards.

The original one hundred and forty Guardians of the Holy Fire had lost more than two-thirds in a short period of time, which made the hearts of the three leaders of Rashid, Merzug, and Adufu feel like blood in their hearts.

And the commander of the Gaochang Kingdom, Said, was even more heartbroken at this time, eighty warriors of the Gaochang Kingdom, now there are only twenty-nine left, and many of them were killed by the poisonous arrows just now.

Rashid said in a deep voice to Merzoug, Adufu, and Said: "We cannot afford to waste any more time here, and if it is dawn, none of us will want to leave the palace of Zhuqi's country." ”

Merzug said with palpitations: "The poisonous arrows of the Jin people are too powerful, they are simply sealed with blood, and if they scratch a little skin, their lives will be gone." ”

Rashid hesitated for a moment and said: "There should be only a few crossbowmen equipped with poisoned arrows, life and death are in the sky, we will directly climb over the wall, scatter and kill from several directions, how many people can escape!" After escaping from the palace, no one should return to the courtyard with the underground secret room, and returning to that courtyard in this situation is likely to bring danger to the two Holy Highnesses and Elder Zhennani! ”

Merzug, Adufu and Said looked at each other, and they all nodded helplessly, they also knew that they really couldn't delay here longer, once the other troops in Zhuqi's city also entered the palace to encircle and suppress them, they were likely to be wiped out.

Don't look at the dozens of people who remain, there are still many diamond-level masters, but in the face of thousands, or even tens of thousands of troops, they will still be devoured.

The remnants of the Flame Guards and the warriors of the Gaochang Kingdom, led by Rashid, Merzug, Adufu, and Said, climbed over the two-meter-high wall and continued to force their way out.

However, by this time, the remnants of the Sacred Flame Guardians and the warriors of the Gaochang Kingdom had dispersed, and Rashid, Merzug, Adufu, and Said were all each with their own subordinates.

Outside the walls of this palace, although it was impossible for the infantry battalion of Gao Shun to come so quickly, there were still more than 3,000 soldiers of the guard battalion, the remnants of the Holy Fire Guards and the warriors of Gao Changguo, who immediately fought with the soldiers of the guard battalion.

In the end, after paying heavy casualties, the Jue'an army still did not completely annihilate all the Holy Fire Guards and Gaochang warriors, but there were still a small number of people who killed them from the encirclement with their strong martial arts.

In the early morning of January 17, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in a hall of the palace where Liu Ji lived, Liu Ji asked Dian Wei with a gloomy face: "Have the losses of the guards battalion been counted last night?" ”

Liu Ji's face was not good, because in the face of the siege and killing of those Holy Fire Guards and Gaochangguo warriors in the back, even Gao Shun's infantry battalion also had more than half of the troops involved, but he still did not do his best, and still let a few Sacred Fire Guards and Gaochangguo warriors escape.

Dian Wei said gloomily: "Lord, the losses are very large, the guards battalion has lost more than 1,500 people, and more than 300 people have been wounded, half of them have to be disabled after their injuries are healed, and they can no longer join the army." ”

After a pause, Dian Wei continued: "Captains Bai Siyuan, Zhao Teng, Gong Zhong, Zhang Ji, and Liu Yi died in battle!" ”

Bai Siyuan and Zhao Teng were originally officers in the border army of Shangyuan City, both third-rate military generals, and were promoted by Liu Ji to the guard battalion as captains, and the second-rate military general Gong Zhong was the second son of Gong Xun, the former defender of Moxi City, Zhang Ji and Liu Yi were both second-rate military generals in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they had just been summoned by Liu Ji not long ago.

When Liu Ji heard that Gong Zhong was also killed in battle, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Gong Xun's five sons lost three in the defense of Moxi City, and this time he killed another one in Zhuqi's palace, and the five sons were only one lone seedling.

"Does General Gong know?" Liu Ji asked with a sigh.

Dian Wei nodded and said, "General Gong Xun already knows, and he is going to take Gong Zhong's body back to Jue'an County for burial. ”

"In a moment, I'll take time to see General Gong and Gong Zhong, alas-"

Liu Ji turned his head and asked Gao Shun, who was standing on the side, "How many people did your infantry battalion lose?" ”

Gao Shun immediately replied: "My lord, my infantry battalion has lost more than 500 people, and more than 200 people have been wounded. ”

Originally, Liu Ji had prepared a well-arranged trap for the Holy Fire Guards and Gaochang Warriors, and these Sacred Flame Guards and Gaochang Warriors also stepped into the trap, but Liu Ji didn't expect that the Holy Fire Guards and Gaochang Warriors who came to save people would be so strong, there were more than a dozen top generals, and the rest were all generals with a force value of more than 60 points.

Although Liu Ji's trap played a certain role, it did not cause the Holy Fire Guards and Gaochangguo warriors to suffer heavy losses, and they knew that this would happen, so they took out a part of the poisoned arrows and distributed them to the four hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion who were ambushed in the palace, maybe in the end, their own casualties would be smaller, and a few fish that slipped through the net would not be able to escape.
