Chapter 192: Losing both
Although Gu Du didn't know the generals of the Spirit Kingdom, he understood Chu Qin's distress very well. Chu Qin is the meat in the bun, sandwiched on both sides, and he can't run away.
Gu Du believed that Chu Qin would not steal the camp, but Chu Qin should not be able to stop other generals from stealing the camp. Don't look at Chu Qin as a priest, he seems to be noble, but when it comes to real power, he is far inferior to Gu Du.
Besides, the Spirit Emperor is not Emperor Ze, when he is fine, the Spirit Emperor is thinking about finding trouble, and when there is something, the Spirit Emperor is even more like a matter spirit.
Chu Qin is not good at being the commander, not because of his poor ability, but because he is hindered in all aspects.
The reason why Gu Du talked to Emperor Ze about the conditions from the beginning and behaved himself unruly was also to avoid Chu Qin's situation.
In the final analysis, in this regard, Gu Du is lucky. Of course, Lixia is also indispensable, if Lixia did not become the queen, then even if Emperor Ze still trusts Gu Du as he does now, it will not be possible to be slandered by the courtiers.
In this way, Gu Du set up ambushes on both the east and west sides, and on each side were five hundred disciples of the Jue Ling Sect, with two thousand soldiers, no matter which side the spirit army came from to steal the camp, they would be ambushed.
Hou Ying ran so much that his helmet fell off, leading the remnants back to the West Gate, and the Ze army did not chase after him, but the momentum was monstrous, but it was an arrow away from the defeated spirit army.
When all the spirit troops entered the city, the general of the Ze army ordered: "Arrows! ”
Ten archers take out their prepared arrows, light firecrackers on the shafts, and shoot them into the night sky.
In the camp of the Ze army, Gu Du sat in the big tent and closed his mind, and a soldier came in to report: "Captain, there is an arrow in the southwest." ”
Gu Du didn't open his eyes, and said flatly: "Order, make food immediately, and attack the city in half an hour." ”
Among the ambush soldiers, there are disciples of Jue Lingmen wearing Lingjun uniforms, who have already followed the defeated army into Linghe County, although the number is not large, but it is enough to open the city gate, and once the city gate is opened, Shangguan He and the child are still in the city, Chu Qin cares about his family, he will have no intention of fighting, and the city will be broken tonight!
Chu Qin also heard the arrow, and hurriedly went to the city to watch, and saw smoke everywhere in the Ze military camp, knowing that the enemy army was making food, and he would attack the city after he was full.
Chu Qin hurriedly ordered: "Zhu Shuangbai, you immediately bring 3,000 soldiers to surround Hou Ying's soldiers, check if there is any fine work mixed in, go quickly!" ”
Zhu Shuangbai was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged his fists and responded: "Take the order!" ”
Chu Qin felt a chill in his heart, Gu Du had grown to the point where he had no last resort, was the Spirit Kingdom really exhausted?
"Husband!" Zhong Jinling climbed to the top of the city and walked towards Chu Qin.
Chu Qin was stunned for a moment, and then scolded angrily: "Why are you here?" ”
Zhong Jinling said coquettishly: "I saw the arrow, come to help you, what are you annoyed about?" ”
Chu Qin raised her hand and slapped her, and scolded angrily: "I asked you to protect He'er and the child at home, what are you doing here?" No matter how heavy it is! Opinionated! What do you want? ”
After scolding, Zhong Jinling, who left her tears in her eyes, ran down the city, got on her horse and galloped home.
Zhu Shuangbai led the soldiers to stop Hou Ying, but after the inspection, he did not find the fine work, in fact, the disciples of the Jueling Sect scattered and ran away as soon as they entered the city, each hiding, and tied a white scarf on his left arm, waiting for the Ze army to attack the city.
When Chu Qin ran home, Shangguan He had already packed his luggage and was ordering someone to load the car, seeing Chu Qin panting and coming in, Shangguan He said: "Husband, don't worry, there is nothing at home, I saw the whistle arrow, and I knew that I had fallen into Gu Du's plan again, I am afraid that I have already mixed into the city, I will take the child to go first, you can fight with peace of mind." ”
Chu Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and Shangguan He asked again, "Jinling?" I asked her to help you, and send another team of soldiers back to escort us back to the Imperial City, why did you come back by yourself? ”
Chu Qin frowned, he was so impatient that he didn't let Zhong Jinling speak at all, so he hit her.
Zhong Jinling's voice sounded outside: "Quick! Tie all these up, Senior Sister Yu, this team of soldiers is to escort my housemother and child, load the car, and you will set off immediately. ”
Chu Qin felt embarrassed in his heart, Shangguan He held his face, looked into his eyes and said, "Husband, Gu Du is not what it used to be, he is invincible, I will wait for you in the imperial city with my child." ”
Chu Qin nodded, and Shangguan He said: "You go back quickly, maybe the Ze army will attack the city in an instant." ”
"Okay." Chu Qin agreed, turned around and came out, Zhong Jinling deliberately avoided him, pretending not to see it.
Chu Qin sighed, went out to get on the horse, and ran to the north gate.
Shangguan He led the child out, Zhong Jinling hurriedly greeted him and said, "Sister, it's all ready." ”
Shangguan He took her hand and said, "I don't have the ability, my husband will leave it to you, if my husband has any mistakes, don't come back." ”
Zhong Jinling replied with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, come, I'll help you get into the car." ”
got into the car, Shangguan He instructed again: "You have to be careful yourself, the sword has no eyes, you must not be reckless, and you must not be rash." ”
Zhong Jinling responded: "Write it down, let's go, I won't send you, I'll go to help my husband defend the city." ”
Shangguan He clenched Zhong Jinling's hand, looked at her and said, "Promise me, you must return safely." ”
Zhong Jinling smiled lightly, nodded solemnly and responded: "Don't worry, the concubine promises you." ”
Gu Du led the army to line up, ordered the trebuchet to throw ten rounds of fire oil cans first, and then ordered: "Siege!" ”
"Kill ......" Swift Wind Battalion rushed to the city wall with a ladder.
In the city, Chu Qin sat on a horse, Zhong Jinling was beside him, and Chu Qin said loudly: "Fight to the death!" Bounty Reward! ”
"Roar!"
Chu Qin shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”
Gu Du forced him to fight, commanding an army of 80,000, if Gu Du broke the city with 30,000 people, then he would not be able to explain to the Spirit Emperor.
The so-called lesser of two evils, although a miserable victory is like defeat, but victory is victory, as for the loss of troops, it cannot be continued, that is not something he can worry about at the moment.
"Kill ......" 3,000 cavalry rushed out of the city gate with Chu Qin, followed by 2,000 archers, and then 10,000 infantry.
This is the front army, no matter how big the city gate hole is, it can't accommodate 80,000 people to go out together, after the more than 10,000 front troops rushed out, the follow-up 50,000 infantry troops quickly went out of the city to line up, commanded by Hou Ying, and the whole army charged!
Gu Duling said: "Light the beacon smoke!" Against! ”
The two armies rushed to one place and slashed each other, Gu Du took Di Qiuhan and others to surround Chu Qin and Zhong Jinling, and Jing Xuezhai's disciples surrounded Gu Du and others.
The stadium was full of scuffles, and whoever won was a miserable victory.
Seeing the beacon smoke, the Ze army ambushes on the east and west sides rushed to the flank of the spirit army, and the 20,000 Ze troops ten miles behind quickly rushed towards the battlefield.
Gu Du relied on the advantage of the treasure sword to kill two Jing Xuezhai disciples in an instant, and then cut off Chu Qin's matching sword.
Zhong Jinling shouted: "Husband, retreat!" ”
Chu Qin hesitated slightly, if he retreated, the spirit army would be defeated on all fronts.
Gu Du swung a knife violently, splitting a Jingxuezhai disciple with his sword in half, and then slashed at Chu Qin with a sword.
