Chapter 102: Keep fighting

Everyone went to Cao Qian's hall and sat down, Gu Du said his thoughts, his idea was very simple, if he wanted to kill the Spirit Emperor, he had to enter the southern border and enter the Imperial City of the Spirit Kingdom, but with the current strength of Ze Kingdom, it was basically a fool's dream.

The so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, good generals are hard to find, if he and Lixia become generals, they can lead troops, but compared to Chu Qin, the two of them are still apprentices.

The fact that this battle can be won is not because of how powerful Gu Du is, but because the boss of the Lingguo is too arrogant.

If the army of the Spirit Kingdom did not attack the city as soon as it came up, but crossed the city, camped in the north of the city, and cut off their food routes, they had to go out of the city to fight bloodily, otherwise even if the reinforcements arrived, they would be hit head-on, and the army of 200,000 Spirit Kingdom could be divided into two, and the north and south would fight at the same time, and they would have to be annihilated.

Cao Qian and Dongfang Buwen nodded together, Gu Du said again, he hoped that he would have enough time to take his apprentices, a person's life is limited, and destroying the Spirit Kingdom is just a wish, but whether it can be realized really depends on the will of heaven.

But even if he can't kill the Spirit Emperor in his lifetime and avenge his wife and children, if the apprentices he brings out can destroy the Spirit Kingdom and kill the Spirit Emperor in the future, it will be regarded as his dedication.

Therefore, Gu Du wanted to join the Imperial Spirit Division.

Cao Qian looked at Dongfang and didn't hear it, Dongfang didn't hear it as excited as he thought, but said flatly: "The strength of the Spirit Kingdom is beginning to see." ”

Cao Qian nodded, Gu Du and Li Xia were already amazing in their eyes, but in the Spirit Kingdom, they were only white-robed soul masters, although they could compete with the black-robed in terms of ability, but after all, there were still masters like Chu Qin.

Gu Du is right, bringing apprentices is more important than leading soldiers, everyone can join the army, but not everyone can cultivate to a realm like Gu Du.

Dongfang didn't hear it and asked, "Master Gu, when do you plan to meet the emperor?" ”

Gu Du replied: "It depends on what the Lingguo plans to do, although they have retreated to Zhenbei Pass, but with the defenders of Guanzhong, they also have 16 or 70,000 troops, if they come again, we still have to fight a bloody battle, now we have to wait, they are defeated in the first battle, they must return to the Linghuang, see if the Linghuang still wants to fight." ”

A few days, Emperor Ling received the war report, but not angry, after Gu Du's incident, Emperor Ling began to reflect, he first came to the throne, too eager to establish a strong industry, only to cause Gu Du and Lixia to defect, if this battle Gu Du is still a spiritual country, Ze country will be destroyed.

Of course, reflection is reflection, Jufa is proud of his achievements, and it cannot be forgiven for underestimating the enemy's misbattle, but the army is still in Zhenbei Pass, and he cannot be removed from his post, let alone held accountable.

Emperor Ling personally wrote an edict to reprimand Ju Fazheng, and ordered Chu Qin to supervise the army, and at the same time ordered Ju Fazheng to break through Lancheng within three months.

The Spirit Emperor believed Zhong Qi's speculation that the defenders of Lancheng were already the last strength of Zeguo, as long as Lancheng was taken, even if the army no longer went deep into the grassland, Zeguo would never be able to invade the territory again in a few decades.

Therefore, this battle will continue, even if the remaining 100,000 people are wiped out, because there are still 110,000 defenders in the three passes, and the three passes are in danger, and the spirit country has this confidence.

Six hundred miles hurriedly sent back the edict, and after receiving the order, Ju Fa said to Chu Qin: "From the priest, this general intends to lead the army across the city and camp in the north of the city according to your wishes......"

Seeing Chu Qin shaking his head, Ju Fazheng didn't say anything further.

Chu Qin said: "General, the emperor did not let you mobilize the defenders of Zhenbei Pass, then your strength is only 130,000, now the time has passed, the reinforcements of the rebels have arrived, and the number is equivalent to our army, and the rebels are good at field warfare, if we camp in the wilderness again, we will only bring humiliation on ourselves." ”

Ju Fazheng frowned and asked, "Then according to your meaning, what should I do?" ”

Chu Qin sighed and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth?" ”

Ju Fazheng said, "Please teach from the priests." ”

Chu Qin shook his head and said, "Don't you dare to teach you, let me say it, the general will decide for himself." ”

"There are three passes in our country, and the total number of defenders in the three passes is 110,000, although they are scattered in three places, but if you want to break through the pass, you can't try without 100,000 horses."

However, the rebels moved south throughout the country, laboring and losing money, and I am afraid that most of their soldiers and civilians were also sick and labored. The defenders in Lancheng should be the last troops of Zeguo, and if one person dies, there will be one less. ”

Ju Fazheng suddenly understood, and said: "You mean that the emperor wants to use this 130,000 army to consume the last combat strength of the rebels, and I only need to order a death battle?" ”

Chu Qin said: "It's best not to fight to the death, order the soldiers to open the mountain to take stones, prepare more oil, just use trebuchets to throw stones and canisters into the city, if the enemy fights, then fight to the death, if you don't fight, the general has a time limit of three months, you can take your time." ”

Gu Du began to become uneasy, and Lixia asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Du replied: "It's been eight days, there has been no movement, if the Lingguo withdraws its troops, the spy report should have arrived, since there is no espionage, it means that the Linghuang still has to fight, but since it is going to fight, why is there no movement?" ”

Rexia said: "I don't know, you can say whatever comes to mind. ”

Gu Du said: "You didn't even think about it, you can't just rely on me like this, what if we have to separate one day?" ”

Li Xia pouted, pondered for a while, his face became solemn, and said, "If I am the Spirit Emperor, I will use the remaining army of hundreds of thousands to consume the last strength of Zeguo." If I were to lead the army, I would not let the soldiers attack the city, because the casualties would be too heavy, and I would use trebuchets to throw stones at the city walls and oil canisters into the city every day. ”

Gu Du nodded, and asked again, "Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" ”

Lixia replied: "Open the mountain to take stones and fill the oil tank." ”

Gu Du nodded and said, "That's what I'm thinking. ”

Rexia asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Gu Du replied, "You say it first." ”

Lixia pondered for a while and said, "Ambush the soldiers under the south bank of the Jiehe River, and when they come, kill them in one fell swoop, grab their siege equipment, and fight back to Zhenbei Pass." ”

Gu Du stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the general." ”

Two days later, the sentinel reported that the enemy had left the town of Beiguan, and there were about 50,000 or 60,000 men, but they were all infantry troops with six trebuchets.

Gu Du and the others had been in ambush for two days, and they were already restless, gearing up one by one, just waiting for a big kill.

I waited for another morning, and it wasn't until the beginning of the morning that I heard footsteps, but the footsteps stopped in the distance, Gu Du felt strange, and carefully showed his head to observe, only to see countless canisters of hot oil thrown towards the boundary river.

"Not good!" Gu Du exclaimed: "Retreat!" ”

Rockets shot from the sky, and the boundary river suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and countless Zeguo soldiers were on fire all over their bodies, howling and running around.

Lixia was also splashed with fire oil, and the right half of her body was on fire, Gu Du pulled her out of the fire, and then threw her to the ground, using his body to extinguish the fire.
