Zhuguo, the royal capital, Shoucheng.

A group of tall and burly generals dressed in armor and armed with long knives at their waists stood outside the palace gate, like a silent stone statue.

I don't know how long it took, the palace door slowly opened.

Zhu Guo's Ling Yin (Xiangbang, whose status is equivalent to Zhaoguo) Chunhuajun walked out slowly, his eyes looked around, and his expression was solemn: "Generals, what are you going to do?" ”

The general at the head said lightly: "I heard that the king is unwell, so I will come to see you." ”

"The king needs to recuperate." Chunhuajun replied, "Everyone, please go back!" ”

The general blocked back without humility or arrogance: "It's okay, let's stand here, and when the king recovers, we will meet as quickly as possible." ”

Chunhuajun couldn't help but shake his head: "General Xiang, why are you suffering?" ”

General Xiang finally couldn't hold back his calm expression, and shouted angrily: "Xin Sheng led an army of 100,000 people, and in less than half a month, he has already conquered the seven cities of the country, and now he is less than thirty miles away from the king!" In the future, the 100,000 troops of Zhao will arrive, and at that time, Xin Sheng will definitely lead the army to surround the royal capital! ”

"When the national disaster is at hand, the king does not want to meet the enemy, but orders the palace to clean up the soft!"

"Seventy years ago, his eldest father (grandfather) lost half of the country of Zhu; Forty years ago, his father abandoned the national capital Gangneung; Could it be that today, he didn't even resist, and wanted to abandon the new king and flee? ”

Speaking of this, General Xiang was already furious: "Such a coward, how can he be a king!" ”

Chunhuajun looked at the angry faces in front of him, and knew that things were going to be bad.

The three surnames of Zhu Guo divided the court, and the more than 20 generals in front of him were all big names among the three surnames, and Xiang was the first of the three surnames.

The head of the Xiang family, let alone scolding the king in the air, even if he pointed at the king's nose and scolded him in person, King Zhu could only spit on himself.

Chunhuajun knew that King Zhu was also a headache for the arrogance of the three surnames. Whether it is him, Ling Yin, or Li Yuan, the hot uncle now, they are all chess pieces that Zhu Wang launched to deal with the three surnames.

But these people rely on the royal power, at most, they take advantage of the three surnames to divide up part of the power of the other party, and when it comes to life and death, they may not be useful.

Especially when the three surnames are united.

Of course, Chunhuajun didn't want to offend all the generals of Zhuguo in one go, and it was rare that he didn't put the head of a hundred officials, and tried to explain: "Generals, the king also has a hard time——"

"What's the problem!" In the crowd, there was a sharp ridicule, "King Wei and King Liang are all alive and well, and they have a good marriage with the Zhao royal family." On the contrary, it was the nobles of the two countries who were forced to migrate and reduced to white, how pitiful! ”

"That is, as soon as he heard that the army of Zhao was coming, he was embarrassed and wanted to run, wasn't he afraid of being retaliated against by his eldest son, who was a high-ranking and powerful man of King Zhao?"

These few words can be said to have torn off King Zhu's face, even Chunhuajun couldn't help but blush.

The generals were right.

Zhu Wang, he, Uncle Guo and others unanimously agreed to abandon the city and flee, in the final analysis, they thought that Shoucheng could not be defended at all, and they were reluctant to martyrdom, and they were afraid that once they were captured, Chu Qi would wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

Just thinking about how King Zhu had treated Chu Qi over the years, Chunhuajun's scalp was numb.

never recognized the identity of Chu Qiyan's eldest son, did not take back the coffin of Princess Zhaoguo, completely regarded as not having this son, desperately conquered the United States, begged for a son, and finally really established a new prince......

If you have such a father, even if you don't stab each other a few times, you will never be happy to see each other better.

And those of them who had assisted King Zhu to escape, and who had a close relationship with the new queen and the new crown prince, were afraid that they would not be able to survive or die.

"Newspaper—"

The sound of eager horses' hooves and roars came from the avenue, and I saw a person rushing to the horse, dismounting the horse too quickly, rolling down directly, covered with blood, but there was no time to wipe it, and said eagerly: "The vanguard of the Zhao army has arrived outside the city and began to attack the city with rockets!" ”

The generals changed color in unison.

They already knew from the soldiers who had escaped from the previous cities that the weapons of the Zhao army had improved by leaps and bounds.

The crossbow machine is faster and has more arrows; The blade is lighter, thinner, and sharper; And a special rocket will be used, once the flame is ignited, even with water, it cannot be extinguished, but will become more and more intense.

At this time, most of the castles were made of thick wood, and once ignited by rockets, they would soon be burned to ashes and the gates would be opened. Therefore, we can't stick to the city as before.

But if you go out of the city to meet the enemy, the sky is full of arrows, and the weapons that cannot be compared at all are enough to make the Zhao army kill people like chopping melons and vegetables.

The seven cities of Zhuguo did not last more than half a day, and they fell.

Although the gate of Shoucheng was specially made of tung oil for fireproof and waterproof treatment, no one knew how powerful the rocket was, and everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at the general in unison.

General Xiang gritted his teeth fiercely: "I will take people to the city gate, even if I fill it with human lives, I have to block the city gate!" ”

"I'll go with the general!"

General Xiang gave everyone a deep look.

Among them, there are his people, his friends, and his enemies.

But at this moment, everyone's expression is the same.

The country is gone, and I wish the king may be able to save his life, but what about them?

Their roots are all rooted here, and sixty percent of the population of the royal capital is either people with three surnames or their slaves and maids.

With the strength of King Zhao, how could he allow the existence of such a family?

Once the country is broken, in an instant, they will be reduced from high-ranking ministers and nobles to worthless white dings.

Who can accept such an ending?

Rather than this, it is better to die in battle!

Looking at a pair of eyes, he gritted his teeth at the general, and turned around neatly: "Follow me!" ”

The group rode fast horses and rushed to the main gate of the city, and saw that there was already fire in front of them!

"I can't hold it, the Zhao army is going to kill in!"

"They have trebuchets!"

"And the siege ladder!"

As soon as the roar fell, the boulders in the sky smashed directly in, smashing the hard city wall into a small piece!

At this time, there is no point in commanding, and everyone is red-eyed.

The long knife in Zhaojun's hand was extremely sophisticated, and when it was wielded, it seemed to have no weight, but it easily cut through the bodies of the soldiers of Zhuguo and took their lives!

At this moment, an ominous black flame engulfed everything with lightning speed.

Boulders, rolling logs, ladders...... Blood, Fire...... Roaring, wailing...... It's all gone.

The whole world seems to be left with only black and white.

Black fire, white light.

Other than that, there is only dead silence.

In the near-void world, an emotionless voice sounded: "Eat them, Jiuzhi." ”
