Chapter 225: A Brief Peace

Tang Kuohu was beaten away, but Zhao Shuo did not have the slightest joy, because Tang Kuohu escaped alive, which made him somewhat disappointed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike Zhao Shuo's loss, the victory at the east gate of Chang'an City made the entire Chang'an boil.

The more than 5,000 Qi troops were almost wiped out by the more than 2,000 people who defended the city, and the former army commander Tang Kuohu finally fled in a hurry with only more than 100 guards, in their opinion, this was a great victory.

The people cheered, sang and danced, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

After sending off a group of officials who had come to congratulate him, Zhao Shuo returned to his seat, his face gloomy.

"Lord Wang, we won a big victory this time, why aren't you happy at all." Fluttershy purses her lips and asks suspiciously.

"You don't understand, the Qi army is different from us, they have many soldiers and generals, although they have suffered heavy losses this time, but for us, they still have an advantage." Zhao Shuo sighed.

"We have small cannonballs in hand, no matter how many of them are, they can't be the opponent of the prince." Fluttershy has long admired Zhao Shuo to the point of no return, and in his heart, Zhao Shuo is a god-like being who cannot be defeated. No matter how strong the opponent is, he will eventually lose in the hands of Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo shook his head lightly and didn't say much. In the battle of the East Gate, although it was a complete victory, more than 600 small cannonballs were used, of which more than 300 were thrown off the city wall by soldiers who could not use them.

Now there are only more than 300 small shells left in the east gate, which can still resist a wave of offensive by the Qi army.

This time, Tang Kuohu was able to defeat almost all the entire army, one reason was because Tang Kuohu was arrogant, and the other reason was because Tang Kuohu did not understand the power of the small cannonball in Zhao Shuo's hand. Only then did a small cannonball pour down the city, and Tang Kuohu was almost wiped out by the whole army.

Now that the Qi army knew that Zhao Shuo had a weapon like a small cannonball in his hand, and also knew the power of the small cannonball, he was thinking that it would be difficult for them to attack the city in a big way and concentrate on destroying it.

The Qi army is numerous, and if it can't be eliminated in one fell swoop, then Chang'an City will always be in danger.

"Lord Wang, Lin Feng, Xuan Hao, Li Zhong, and Ling Yun ask to see you." Gonggong Feng came to the house and saluted Zhao Shuo.

"Didn't they just leave? Why is it here again? Zhao Shuo said helplessly.

"Then~, the old slave returned to them?" Gonggong Feng observed his words and suggested in a low voice.

Lin Feng, Xuan Hao, Li Zhong, and Ling Yun came one by one in the morning, and this time, listening to Gonggong Feng's words, it seemed that they came together. Zhao Shuo pondered for a while and said. "Let them in!"

"Yes!" Gonggong Feng saluted and left.

The time was not long, and Gonggong Feng led Lin Feng, Xuan Hao, Li Zhong, and Ling Yun to walk in.

"Lord Wang, they are here." Gonggong Feng saluted, and then stood beside Zhao Shuo.

"The last general will meet the prince!" Lin Feng, Xuan Hao, Li Zhong, and Ling Yun said in unison.

"Get up!" Zhao Shuo raised his hand and said.

"Lord Wang, in fact, the last general is here to ask for advice this time." After getting up, Li Zhong took the lead in speaking.

"If it's a matter of small cannonballs, you can just find Ling Yun, he knows this better than me!" Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, I can only ask you about this matter......" Li Zhong stopped talking.

"The problems of use have been rehearsed for you, the battlefield is changing rapidly, as for when to use it, it depends on the general's discretion." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

Li Zhong looked embarrassed, he didn't know the power of the small cannonball before, so he didn't take it seriously at all. But the battle of defeating Tang Kuohu made Li Zhong truly realize the power of small cannonballs. So, he wanted Zhao Shuo to assign him some more small cannonballs.

However, for the first time, small shells were distributed, and the most were distributed to him. Directly asked, he really couldn't open his mouth. Therefore, I can only say it on the side. But Zhao Shuo, as if he didn't understand, didn't talk to Ben.

"Lord Wang, in fact, the last general just wants to ......" Li Zhong looked at Lin Feng, Xuan Hao, and Ling Yun next to him, and finally suppressed the words that came to his lips.

"Okay, okay, the four of you are all humerus ministers guarding Chang'an City, no matter what you say or do, it's all to keep Chang'an. Therefore, if you have any words, say them, and if this king can do it, he will help you do it. Zhao Shuo smiled and said.

"Lord, since this is the case, the last general will make it clear." Li Zhong plucked up his courage again. "This time the battle of the East Gate was a complete victory, but the soldiers guarding the East Gate suffered heavy losses, so I hope the prince can add some ......"

Before Li Zhong's words were finished, Lin Feng, who was eager for meritorious service, interrupted him. "Lord Wang, since the guards at the east gate have been damaged, the last general suggested that the whole city implement a rotation system of soldiers. Everyone knows that the East Gate is the main direction of attack of the Qi army, and if you rotate it, it will be more secure to guard the East Gate, and second, the soldiers can still rest. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Feng smiled. "If the prince agrees, the last general thinks it's good to rotate according to the east, north, west, and south."

"Lord Wang, what Lieutenant Lin said is extremely true." Xuan Xuan was also eager to fight, and said at this moment. "We keep rotating so that the soldiers who resist the Qi army are always the new force that gets rest, so that we have a better chance of winning."

After a pause, Xuan Xuan continued. "However, the order of rotation is a little unwilling to agree with Lieutenant Lin, and the general thinks that it is better to follow the order of east, south, west, and north."

Ling Yun stood in place and did not say anything, he is now replacing Zhao Shuo, guarding the West Gate, as long as he rotates, he will have the opportunity to play, as for whether it is according to the east, north, west, south, or east, south, west, north, for him, it is the same.

"This~!" After Lin Feng and Xuan Xuan finished speaking, Li Zhong was dumbfounded. In the battle of the East Gate, his men did not suffer a few casualties. He just wanted to get more small shells. But I didn't expect that Lin Feng at the north gate and Xuan at the south gate had such a strong desire to fight.

"Lord Wang!" Li Zhong fell to his knees. "The soldiers of the East Gate are desperately guarding the East Gate, and if they want to die, they will be transferred like this, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army."

Zhao Shuo glanced at the four people in front of him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he shook his head helplessly, saying. "This king knows your thoughts."

After a pause, Zhao Shuo continued. "Although the Battle of the East Gate is holy this time, the Qi army still has its advantages, and it won't be long before their army should arrive. Don't worry, the four doors won't be easy then. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Lin Feng, Ling Yun, Xuan Hao, and Li Zhong saluted at the same time.

"Alright, let's all go down!" Zhao Shuo waved his hand and said.

After Lin Feng, Xuan Hao, and Ling Yun saluted, they all left.

After Li Zhong saluted, he looked at Zhao Shuo and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

"You have to wait for the small cannonball, when it's time to give it, this king will give it. Let's go down! Zhao Shuo said.

"Yes!" Li Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and left. (To be continued.) )
