General Hou Cheng, who had been prepared for a long time, led the soldiers to start planting explosives, and then lit the fuse, and after more than a dozen breaths, the sky-high flames lit up, and the deafening sound also forced the earth under Jiaohe City to launch a trembling roar.

"Boom, boom..."

With a mark the explosive is ignited, it detonates. Gaps ranging from a few zhang to a dozen zhang wide were revealed one by one.

At this moment, there is no need to enter through the south gate, even from these gaps, the army of the Celestial Empire can also smoothly rush into Jiaohe City.

The huge tremor coming from his feet made General Saixi stunned, and then after seeing countless Celestial Empire armies rushing into the city through those gaps, he knew that the city was lost and the Cheshi Kingdom was finished.

"Quick, follow me into the imperial city and save the king from leaving." Knowing that he couldn't resist, Saisi gave up resistance, and then took a small part of his own soldiers around him and went straight to the imperial city.

Saixi's movements were not slow, but General Ji Fan's movements were even faster. Or that he had been preparing for this for a long time, and after seeing that the Celestial Empire army really did not disappoint him, he knew that his chance for revenge had come, and immediately took hundreds of personal soldiers who were absolutely obedient to him and left the command position, and rushed towards the imperial city.

Ji Fan's army is not very large, but fortunately, his task is to stay here for a while and wait for the Celestial Empire army to appear, and he is confident that he should be able to succeed.

In the imperial city, King Lipi did not rest.

He had long known that tonight, General Ji Fan would lead people to steal the camp, and he was nervous in his heart, and he really wanted to know the result as soon as possible.

King Lipi, who did not sleep peacefully, was not waiting for the latest battle report, but a shock to his feet, which made him stumble, almost did not stand firmly, and fell to the ground.

"What's going on? Send someone to check it out? "I don't understand, why did the earthquake happen, could it be that I resisted the entry of the Celestial Empire army and caused the wrath of the heavens? I have to say that most of the people of that era were still superstitious.

After the shock, almost all the people in the Imperial City woke up, and then the clothes were dressed, and the armor was armored, and no one had the will to sleep.

As soon as King Lipi sent out to inquire about the situation, he saw that General Saisi had come to the royal city, and came to the king's presence, and he fell to his knees with a frightened expression on his face.

"Sissi? How did you get back? Why not on top of the tower? That's where you should be, you know? Seeing that the general he had canonized had fled back so quickly, Lipi was naturally angry.

"Your Majesty, you can't hold it, the army of the Celestial Empire has already entered the city, let's flee quickly." Saixi knew that he had done something wrong this time, because the civil strife in front of the city gate attracted his attention, and he did not guard against the bombing of the city by the army of the Celestial Empire. Although most of this is due to the power of the opponent's explosives, as a commanding general, he does have an unshirkable responsibility.

"What?" Listening to Saisi's words, Lipi was shocked.

He thought that with the strength of Che Shiguo alone, it would be difficult to be the opponent of the Celestial Empire's army, but he also didn't expect that he would be defeated by others so quickly.

I thought that only after the Cheshi Country could hold out for ten days and half a month, and let people see their ability to defend themselves, other nearby countries in the Western Regions would send troops to reinforce them, but they never expected that they would be defeated so quickly.

"Flee, Your Majesty. While the Celestial Empire army has not yet entered the Imperial City, let's flee quickly. Isn't there a saying in the Celestial Empire that you can stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid that there will be no firewood? Saixi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Lipi standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but say anxiously.

"Yes, yes, get out, get out." Being called by this, Lipi also woke up, with a suddenly realized expression, and then he didn't even care about what royal robe to wear, so he had to go out of the imperial city with Saixi.

Although there are still many ministers and women belonging to him in the imperial city, and even the gold and silver treasures that have been collected over the years, but at this moment, Li Pi doesn't want to ask for it, it is too much time, and as long as he is alive, one day, there is hope that he can snatch these things back.

Next, it was Lipi who rushed out of the imperial city with Saisi and his royal guards, for whom time was of the essence.

Thousands of troops were heading for the only road outside the imperial city, and the scouts in front suddenly came with news that General Ji Fan was out with hundreds of soldiers to greet them.

At this moment, Li Pi didn't want to hold Ji Fan accountable for why he didn't lead the army, all he was thinking about now was how he could escape. For him, having an extra general by his side is equivalent to an extra glimmer of hope for escape.

"Okay, let's hurry up and join General Ji Fan." Without much thought, King Lippi spoke, speeding up his own journey.

Whether it was King Lipi or General Saisi, they didn't think too much, but it wasn't until they came to the imperial city that they were greeted not by Ji Fan's coming to say goodbye, but when a burst of arrows fell, they knew that the situation was not as they thought.

Seeing that dozens of soldiers were shot by bows and arrows and fell to the ground, General Saisi was the first to react at this moment.

Thinking about Ji Fan's several requests to go out of the city and steal the camp, thinking about why it was so coincidental that his soldiers were only half out of the city, and the Celestial Empire army was killed, at this time, Saixi finally thought through everything, knowing that Ji Fan did it on purpose.

"Your Majesty, Ji Fan has betrayed us." After Saisi thought it through, he said to Lipi with a bitter face.

At this moment, the strength of the king, his face is like ashes, how can he not see that Ji Fan is rebelling? It's just that he can't understand why the people he has worked so hard to promote should oppose him.

"Your Majesty, what we have to do now is to kill with all our might, that Ji Fan is only a few hundred people around him, and he can't stop us for long." Saisi is a general after all, and his performance on the battlefield is far calmer than others.

"Okay." At this moment, his strength and face looked much older, the soldiers were surrounded, and the generals rebelled, which made him feel for the first time that what he was doing as a king was not successful. In a state of confusion, he has long lost the ability to command the overall situation, so it is better to leave everything to General Saisi to deal with.

After Saisi won the military power, he immediately commanded the army to rush outside the imperial city, and he also used his tone to motivate his soldiers, saying that if you want to live, you can only kill them, otherwise, everyone will die here.

In the hope of survival, thousands of soldiers of the Cheshi Kingdom rushed fiercely, ignoring the oncoming arrows, one by one, holding scimitars and holding shields, rushing towards the road outside the imperial city.

There are more and more soldiers of Cheshi Country who rushed out, although Ji Fan has tried his best to stop it, but after all, he only has a few hundred people, facing more than ten times the number of troops, only a quarter of an hour later, he showed that he was invincible, and after several fights, the remaining soldiers around him were less than fifty.

"General, withdraw, if we continue like this, we will all die here." Seeing that Saixi launched another offensive, a pro-soldier reminded Ji Fan loudly.

"We can't withdraw, even if we fight to the last person, we have to stop them here, no matter what, we have to wait until the arrival of the Celestial Empire army, otherwise let King Lipi escape, and the revenge will never be avenged." Ji Fan's face was determined, and he was already bloodstained with blood, so he once again picked up the spear in his hand and made a desperate counterattack.

These soldiers were all people who had followed Ji Fan for many years, and from the moment they blocked here, their orders were tied to this Han general, and now there was no way out. Even if the generals are ready to die in battle, why should they be stingy?

"Kill, advance and retreat with the general." Less than fifty soldiers shouted in unison, then they all took their weapons in their hands, yelled, and then prepared to rush forward.

"The army of the Celestial Empire is here." At this moment, a voice came out, and dozens of soldiers, including Ji Fan, turned their heads to look, and saw a big black military flag appearing, which was the banner of the vanguard legion with the word Lu written on it.

"It was General Lu who arrived with someone." Seeing this scene, Ji Fan felt his body loosen, and a feeling of fatigue spread throughout his body. It was only under the sudden hope that he felt how tired his body was.

It was Commander Lu Bu who came.

After using explosives to blow up more than a dozen gaps, the Celestial Empire army successfully entered Jiaohe City, and then handed over the battlefield to Hou Cheng, Chun Yuqiong, and Sun Li, the three deputy commanders, he personally led 5,000 cavalry to the imperial city.

The capture of Cheshi was a death order given by Emperor Zhang Chao, but Lu Bu knew that it was not enough to just attack the city, and only by capturing the Cheshi King could he be regarded as a perfect completion of the task. So he is more than anyone else where King Elipi is now.

And when he saw from a distance that there were two car division ** teams fighting fiercely here, he knew that one of them must be General Ji Fan's men, otherwise, how could there be a scene of cannibalism?

Therefore, when he came to the front on a red rabbit horse, his voice came first: "Which one is General Ji Fan?" ”

"The sin general is Ji Fan, but I don't know the general's name." Hearing someone shouting his name, Ji Fan knew that it must be Ji Yong's task completed, and he couldn't help but stand up with excitement on his face.

"You're Ji Fan?" After looking at Ji Fan, who was covered in blood but still had a determined look on his face, Lu Bu immediately asked.

"Yes, the sin will be Ji Fan." Once again, he confessed his identity.

"Good job, I have learned something about you from your brother Ji Yong, I will report it to the emperor truthfully when I go back, now please tell me about the current situation." By the way, my name is Lu Bu. Riding on the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu said with a hint of appreciation on his face.
