Chapter 708: The City Head Fires

"Childe, we are only a hundred miles away from Dengzhou, and we will be able to reach Dengzhou by this time tomorrow. Now it seems that Li Xin's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived in Dengzhou, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune! Liu Lan looked at the familiar scenery around her, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, marching and fighting outside, and only when she arrived in Dengzhou could Liu Lan relax.

"Where's Yuwenbao?" Qi Yancheng said with some dissatisfaction.

After marching all the way to the present, Qi Yancheng only saw Yu Wenbao coming every time he set up camp, and at other times he couldn't see Yu Wenbao at all, and he didn't know what these guys were doing.

"Don't care about him, Yu Wenbao is a general under Li Yuanji, and if Gongzi offends him at this time, it will not be very good for the general in the Li Zhao court in the future." Liu Lan said with some worry.

"Damn, huh! It's Yu Wenbao, what's wrong with him? Qi Yancheng suddenly saw hundreds of horses rushing in the distance, and the person at the head was wearing silver-white armor, which was Yuwenbao. But at this moment, he seemed to be extremely flustered.

"Not good, enemy attack." At this time, Liu Lan suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and the earth shook, and saw countless cavalry rushing over, Liu Lan opened her eyes wide, and said loudly: "Childe, it's not good, it's Li Xin's army that is coming, get out of here." "Where did Liu Lan manage so much, when he met a large group of cavalry in the field, his 10,000 horses were of no use at all.

"How did Li Xin's soldiers and horses come here?" Qi Yancheng said with some panic, he turned his horse's head, turned around and rushed into the army, and said loudly: "The army is ready to prepare for battle, the shield bearer is in front, the archer is behind, and the big swordsman is second." Qi Yancheng knew that such a situation was basically unable to withstand the impact of a large number of cavalry, but he didn't want to die here.

"Qi Yancheng, quickly block Li Xin for me." Yu Wenbao looked panicked. He said loudly: "When I return to His Highness, I will ask for credit for you." As he spoke, he bypassed Qi Yancheng's military formation and rushed towards the rear, not even having a chance to stay.

"Damn." Qi Yancheng looked at Yu Wenbao who had fled, his face was gloomy, and he was the courage of the army. The generals all fled in front, and the soldiers in the back had no mind to resist the enemy. Originally, I thought that if he resisted here for a moment and fought for a while, Qi Gongshun in Dengzhou City would definitely know, and maybe there was a possibility of responding, but now that Yuwenbao fled, the morale of the army would definitely be affected.

Sure enough, Yu Wenbao had just escaped. The soldiers around Qi Yancheng began to fall into a panic, looking at the cavalry like a landslide, where could these soldiers be under such pressure.

"Run!" In the crowd, I don't know who screamed, threw aside the weapon in his hand, turned around and ran.

If one person escapes, it will affect the whole army, and the surrounding soldiers will also abandon the weapons in their hands. He turned around and fled, without thinking about it in the slightest. How can the infantry outrun the cavalry when they flee on the plains?

"Don't run, don't run." Qi Yancheng killed a soldier who was fleeing, his face flushed, and he stood there and roared loudly. Unfortunately, his anger didn't help. Those who should have fled fled, and the battlefield was chaotic. There are countless escapees.

"Let's go! Childe, Li Xin is here, and it will be too late if you don't leave. Liu Lan also looked a little flustered. He never imagined that Li Xin's cavalry would appear not far from Dengzhou.

Inside the city of Dengzhou. Qi Gongshun was defending at the head of the city, Li Xin's army came, Qi Gongshun didn't even have the mind to sleep, he looked into the distance with blood-red eyes, and he transferred Laizhou's soldiers and horses to Dengzhou. It's just about buying time for yourself.

"General, a hundred miles away, there is a large army fighting, and the person at the head is Gongzi." At this time, a pro-soldier rushed up and said loudly.

"Yancheng is back?" Qi Gongshun's face changed, and he said in a lost voice: "Who is Gongzi fighting with?" ”

"Tang Emperor Li Xin." Although Qi Gongshun still had a trace of luck in his heart, when he heard the spy say that it was Li Xin, his face suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "How is this good?" How is this good? Li Xin has an army of 60,000 men, how can we be his opponents? ”

"Open the door quickly, who is on the head of the city, open the door to Lao Tzu."

There were shouts in the distance, but I saw more than 100 cavalry galloping forward, the leader of the man holding a big sword, his expression was mighty, but the armor on his body was crooked, and he didn't look like a general at all.

"Who's under the city?" Qi Gongshun was frightened and said loudly.

"Lao Tzu King Qi drove Yuwenbao is also! Hurry up and open the city gate for Lao Tzu. As soon as Yu Wenbao saw the old man, he couldn't help but say loudly: "It's Qi Gongshun at the head of the city, hurry up and open the door, Li Xin's army is behind." ”

"Hurry up and open the gates." Qi Gongshun thought about it, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate, but secretly asked people to prepare with archers, and once the other party was not Yuwenbao, he would immediately shoot with arrows.

Yu Wenbao whipped his war horse, more than 100 cavalry galloped over, broke into the city, Yu Wenbao jumped off the horse, climbed the city wall, and said to the soldiers around him: "Quick, close the city gate, Li Xin is about to kill." "Yu Wenbao is now no longer proud at this moment, I thought that Li Xin was like a lost dog, let him chase and kill.

But now I know that Li Xin is not a lost dog, but a very fierce tiger, once he catches the opportunity, he will tear the opponent apart. Because you despise the other party, you will be defeated by the other party.

"General Yuwen, how is the dog?" Qi Gongshun said with some concern.

"In the midst of war, how do you know?" Yu Wenbao shook his head and said: "Li Xin, this person is too treacherous, 60,000 cavalry quietly killed us, we were caught off guard, where is his opponent, this general finally killed it, in the chaos of the army, even his life is difficult to protect, let alone others." Yu Wenbao didn't mention the fact that he ran away first.

"Hey!" Qi Gongshun sighed fiercely after hearing this.

"General, look at Childe is back. Childe is back. Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and said loudly.

Qi Gongshun looked at it, and sure enough, he saw a group of routs rushing over in the distance, the leader was dressed in white, and his body was thin, and Qi Gongshun recognized that the person was his son Qi Yancheng.

"Quick, open the gates." Qi Gongshun was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said loudly.

"Can't be opened." A loud roar came, but it was Yu Wenbao who pushed away the soldiers around Qi Gongshun and said, "General Qi, didn't you see the chasing soldiers behind Ling Gongzi?" Li Xin clearly wants Ling Gongzi to be the vanguard, and take advantage of the moment you open the city gate to rush into the city, and even among the soldiers accompanying Ling Gongzi, there are Li Xin's spies, Li Xin is treacherous, and he will do everything for Dengzhou. The general still has to be careful. ”

"This?" Qi Gongshun's face changed, and he hesitated a little.

"Now Dengzhou is Li Xin's last chance, if Dengzhou is captured, Li Xin will be able to rely on Dengzhou's important land to resist the prince's army, and when the time comes, Da Zhao's plan will be in vain, His Royal Highness the prince has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, and he has also suffered a devastating blow because of the general's actions, can the general bear such a responsibility?" Yu Wenbao said loudly.

"No, in addition to my son, there are many soldiers outside, these soldiers are also sacrificed for your Da Zhao, if they die on the battlefield, it will be forgotten, now that they are under the city, they must be rescued, not to mention, although there are cavalry chasing behind, but the old man sees that the cavalry is very small, we are in the city, shoot them with bows and arrows, and we will definitely be able to scare them." Qi Gongshun said loudly.

This is not only for his son, but also for Liu Lan, and for the soldiers who are fleeing back from afar, there are hundreds of them. How could Qi Gongshun give up?

"Dengzhou is the most important, Da Zhao can rely on Dengzhou to resist Li Xin's attack, at this time, even if there are many dead people, it is not important to kill Li Xin." Yu Wenbao said loudly with a hideous face.

"Nonsense, our younger brother is outside, how can we not save it, what does Li Zhao's life and death have to do with our Dengzhou?" An angry roar came, but I saw that it was two tall men, standing there with big knives in their hands, the two of them looked mighty, similar to Qi Gongshun, it was Qi Gongshun's eldest son Qi Yanfei and second son Qi Yanshan, both of whom were powerful generals of Kong Wu, Qi Gongshun was able to gain a foothold in Beihai, and it also had a lot to do with the three sons.

"Who are you? Don't forget, I am a general under the command of King Qi, since Beihai has been subordinated to my Great Zhao, then my official here is the largest, Dengzhou must obey the dispatch of this general, Qi Gongshun, do you want to rebel? Yu Wenbao looked at Qi Gongshun and said: "You have three sons, and after one dies, there are two more, and the King of Qi will mention your merits in front of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to ignore my brother's life and death, you are looking for death." Qi Yanshan was annoyed and angry, and the big knife in his hand killed Yu Wenbao without thinking about it, the three brothers had a deep relationship, and at this time, when they heard that Yu Wenbao was going to send his younger brother to death, where could Qi Yanshan endure it.

"Look for death." As soon as Yu Wenbao saw Qi Yanshan coming, a trace of fierceness flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the big knife in his hand waved, blocking in front of Qi Yanshan, Qi Yanshan felt a huge force in his hand, and couldn't help but retreat. In the end, it is a fierce general under Li Yuanji, and Qi Yanshan is not his opponent.

"Li Zhao wants to kill us, let's go together." Qi Yanfei saw it clearly, and couldn't help but shout to the soldiers around him, and the big knife in his hand also killed Yu Wenbao. The surrounding soldiers were stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and followed closely behind, killing Yu Wenbao's own soldiers. In an instant, there was a shout of killing on the head of the city.

Qi Gongshun was also stunned by the situation in front of him, but he soon understood that the current situation no longer allowed him to have other ideas, gritted his steel teeth, beckoned to the soldiers beside him, and also joined the ranks of killing Yu Wenbao.

Poor Yuwenbao where did he think of such a change, although he was very brave, but there were only more than a hundred people, where was Qi Gongshun's opponent, and a steady stream of Beihai soldiers quickly drowned Yuwenbao. (To be continued......)
