Chapter 362: The Qi Army's Great Victory
Shen Liang was taken aback by General Han, he stared at General Han tightly, and found that his expression was firm and his eyes were resolute, knowing that he had made up his mind.
But...... Shen Liang hesitated, his martial arts were fine, but he didn't know much about these art of war, and he had no martial arts but no strategy.
General Han is different from him, since General Han can be reused by the emperor, he must be capable. In case of tonight's battle, if something happens to General Han, what will happen next Shen Liang doesn't know. So he thinks that General Han can't die.
And he can't die either. If General Han is dead, but he is alive, what will the emperor think.
Shen Liang's mind was spinning rapidly, he was already a tendon, but now that he finally thought of this, he said directly to General Han: "General Han, I'll go!"
General Han was stunned for a moment, looking at the reckless man who stopped him in front of him. He has always looked down on this Shen Liang, but he only thinks that this person is unambitious, simple-minded, and looks clumsy.
But tonight he suddenly took the initiative to ask for his life......
"General Han, Master Ben is good at martial arts, I don't understand this strategy, but I am still very confident in fighting." Shen Liang patted his chest and reassured.
General Han looked at Shen Liang in front of him, the fire on the city tower shone on his stiff face, although his chin was full of beard, he looked like a scumbag. But his eyes were bright.
"Okay." General Han nodded heavily. He is also sure of Shen Liang's martial arts, after all, he is a martial champion, and he must be better than others.
General Han stood on the city tower and watched Shen Liang ride a war horse with a spear in his hand and rush into the smoke of gunpowder single-handedly. The disdain for him in my heart disappeared, replaced by full admiration.
The second prince was also among the soldiers who were fighting, and he urgently needed to prove his strength to the emperor and the officials of the imperial court. Li Shang wanted to stop him, but seeing the second prince's resolute attitude, he also understood in his heart that the second prince was eager to seek merit, and knew that he couldn't stop it, so he didn't stop it. Although he can't stop it, Li Shang still has to protect the second prince, which is his duty. If something happens to the second prince, he will also suffer.
Li Shang originally planned to let the second prince stay in the rear, but now he can only give up. I thought about planning to pay more attention to the second prince's side and protect him when I was fighting.
But at the beginning of the war, Li Shang realized that he had underestimated the ability of the second prince. The second prince was very good at martial arts, and he rushed directly into the battlefield, and no one had the ability to confront him.
When the second prince was fighting fiercely, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a war horse entering, and the men on the horse were holding spears, and wherever they went, their soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
The second prince glared, directly picked up the sword on a corpse on the ground, and shot it at the man's horse.
The sword stabbed the horse, and the horse neighed and fell to the ground.
Shen Liang was taken aback by this change, jumped off the horse quickly, rolled on the ground, and as soon as he looked up, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and he subconsciously turned his head and dodged the sword.
The second prince thought that he could stab him, but he didn't expect that person to dodge, and he was angry in his heart, and he also aroused his fighting spirit and fought with that person.
Although Shen Liang was born in Wu Zhuangyuan, he relaxed his training in the past half a year, and gradually became unable to withstand the fierce attack of the second prince, he didn't pay attention to it a little, and was stabbed by the second prince's sword and fell to the ground.
When a piece of fish belly slowly appeared in the sky, the sound of gongs and drums that had been beating all night disappeared.
Rivers of blood flowed all over the ground, and corpses were strewn all over the field.
When the second prince came back from the battlefield in armor, he laughed and threw the long sword that had been stained red with blood in his hand to the soldiers waiting on the side, and walked into the house.
Li Shang also couldn't stop smiling on his face, "This great victory of the Qi Kingdom!" ”
"Haha, Master Li, you say, did you seize this opportunity?" The second prince said to Li Shang teasingly.
Li Shang's expression froze for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Your Highness is brave and strategic, but the minister is really lonely and short-sighted."
The second prince smiled, his face was already tired, he had fought all night, and he didn't feel it when he fought, but now that he has returned from victory, he breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the fatigue also came up like a tide.
Li Shang saw that the second prince was a little tired, so he said: "Your Highness, you have returned from a great victory, now it is better to rest well and recuperate."
The second prince nodded, then returned to his room, washed up briefly, and rested.
Li Shang waited until the second prince left, and the look on his face sank.
Now the Qi State attacked the Zhao State at night, although it was a great victory, the other party was caught off guard. But the war between the two countries is already ringing. He couldn't predict what Zhao Guo would prepare next.
I heard that General Xiao of Zhao was a fierce general, and he was famous in the two countries when he was young, and now although he is old, he still does not dare to underestimate it. And the son of General Xiao also became famous at a young age, which should not be underestimated.
Li Shang thought about it like this, and his face became more and more heavy.
The second prince didn't think as much as Li Shang, he only knew that his commanders attacked Zhao State, and Zhao State was embarrassed by himself, if this matter spread to the court, his prestige would be known to all the ministers.
The atmosphere in Zhao Guo was gloomy.
General Han looked at Shen Liang's face full of blood traces, although the soldiers simply wiped it before transporting it back, but the traces were not erased.
The corpse was already stiff, and General Han asked people to arrange the corpse alive.
He had already sent someone to deliver news to the capital overnight, and he was waiting for the emperor to send someone.
The adjutant general also died for the country last night.
General Han stood alone on the city tower, the border was bleak, and there were some soldiers outside the city carrying back those who had been sacrificed.
Zhao Imperial Palace.
The emperor was in the imperial study to correct the recital, and suddenly there was a sound outside the door.
The emperor frowned and glanced at Gonggong Gui beside him.
Gonggong Gui immediately understood what the emperor meant, went out and saw a soldier standing at the door, saw him come out, and hurriedly said: "The subordinate is General Han's soldiers, and he has an urgent official document to be submitted to the emperor."
When Gonggong Gui heard that it was a border matter, he hurriedly took the soldier to the imperial study.
As soon as the man saw the emperor, he knelt on the ground with a thud and took out the envelope in his arms.
When Gonggong Gui took it, he found that the man's hands were trembling, and he understood the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly handed the envelope to the emperor.
The emperor opened it and glanced at it, the content of the letter was concise, only one sentence, thinking that time was pressing, "The Qi army attacked at night, and our army was defeated." ”
The emperor's expression sank suddenly, and he suddenly slapped the table heavily in anger.
"Bastard!"
"The Qi State actually took the lead in the war, and even attacked my Zhao State at night!" The emperor gasped a few breaths.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Although Gonggong Gui was also shocked, he couldn't help but persuade when he saw that the emperor was so emotional.
The emperor glanced at the person kneeling on the ground and asked, "Our army has suffered a fiasco, to what extent?"
"Lord Shen, the adjutant general died in battle, and he lost nearly half of his soldiers." The man replied with his head down.
