Chapter 254: The Border Pass is on Fire
It turns out that what I've been looking for is here. It's really hard to get through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to find nowhere to get it. The man thought about it and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. With poetry fans and this map of the imperial tomb, the supreme treasure is at his fingertips. &1t;/p>
At this time, the border pass was in an emergency, and the 500,000 troops of Southern Chu were heading towards the border of Beichen Kingdom, but before that, there was no trace at all, and these people seemed to have suddenly grown out of the ground. &1t;/p>
Even if Shangguan Tianyu was experienced in a hundred battles, when he encountered such a thing, he would feel tired. The war on the side of Nanchu was together, and many people fled to Yuncheng one after another, and people were panicked for a while. &1t;/p>
When the emperor learned of this, he sent an army of 500,000 to the border, hoping to keep the army of Southern Chu out of the country, who would have thought that the armor and weapons of the 500,000 army of Beichen Kingdom turned out to be defective, and before he could fight with the other party for a few rounds, the spear had been broken in half, and as for the armor that could resist arrows on the battlefield to save his life, he actually let people split a sword in half. &1t;/p>
When encountering such a thing, how could those soldiers dare to compete with Nan Chu's red-eyed army, they dropped their weapons one by one, turned around and ran to the city. &1t;/p>
However, the Southern Chu army did not give up shooting because of their desertion, but because their escape aroused the excitement of the Southern Chu army, and they began to shoot them with bows and arrows, as if they were shooting their prey on the hunting ground. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu rode on a horse, watching his brother being played with as a prey, and the pain in his heart was indescribable. I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, and he actually used his hands and feet on these weapons, don't you know that these weapons are weapons to protect the lives of soldiers and defend the country? &1t;/p>
Without weapons, the soldiers naturally could not hold the city, Shangguan Tianyu ordered people to close the city gate, and also moved a lot of stones to block the city gate, and the rest of the oil and stones have all been moved to the city wall. &1t;/p>
"Brothers, send a detachment of men and horses to protect the old people, women and children in the city first, and let the young men leave quickly after carrying these stones." Shangguan Tianyu said in a deep voice. &1t;/p>
"Lord Wang, if the reinforcements don't come yet, we people won't be able to stop it at all." Cao Song, the deputy general beside Shangguan Tianyu, said in a deep voice. &1t;/p>
"Vice General Cao, has there been a reply to the news sent to King Chen's Mansion?" &1t;/p>
He will not put his hope on those reinforcements now, those reinforcements are led by the Bai family, and all the military supplies are also the responsibility of the Bai family, so it can be seen that their situation today is all caused by the Bai family. Now all his hopes can only be in King Chen, but King Chen is far away from here, if he is a single horseman, he may be able to arrive in a short time, but the army is different, most of the soldiers are on foot, and they have to carry weapons and numbers, in this case, it will definitely slow down the progress. &1t;/p>
Just when the Southern Chu army thought that they were about to succeed, a group of people dressed in black came out of nowhere, each of them carried two barrels of bows and arrows on their backs, and each of them had three arrows, and when the arrows were shot, those arrows were like eyes, shooting towards those arrogant and proud Southern Chu troops. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu knew that these people were definitely not the royal army, but someone's private army, and the overall quality of these people was far behind those royal armies. &1t;/p>
"Lord Wang, it was Young Master Murong who asked us to come." Chu Lifeng hugged his fist towards Shangguan Tianyu. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu saw that the person who came turned out to be Chu Lifeng, and with Chu Lifeng, Shangguan Tianyu's heart also settled. At that time, Chu Lifeng was also strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, especially in the use of the art of war. &1t;/p>
The army of Southern Chu was shocked when they saw this, those people's archery skills were too accurate, and the arrows were like this. The Southern Chu army, which was originally still overwhelming, has been beheaded nearly 10,000 people. And the fallen soldiers did not rise again. Because every arrow was shot into the hearts of those soldiers, even if they didn't shoot, they would also be poisoned by the poison on the arrow. &1t;/p>
Li Zhong, the commander of the Southern Chu army, roared angrily: "King Dingnan, what kind of ability are you, if you can't beat it, you will use poison, you are really a despicable villain, if you have the courage, open the city gate and come out to fight with me." ”&1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu naturally would not fall for the other party's agitation, and he was not afraid to go out of the city to fight, but worried that they would take the opportunity to rush in and kill innocent people, and now he is arranging for the people to evacuate safely, and when the people are safely transferred, his mission will be completed. &1t;/p>
When the time comes, it will not be a big deal for him Shangguan Tianyu to go out of the city to fight Li Zhong alone. He wanted to let the generals of Nanchu see that he was not a bad breed. &1t;/p>
"General Li Zhong, the two countries are at war, as long as they can defeat you, it is a good way, you Nanchu let the people suffering from the epidemic flow into our country, and the princess Chen was poisoned, how could you ever be above board." Shangguan Tianyu said coldly. &1t;/p>
"Hahaha, our emperor said that Princess Chen is stunning, so that the outstanding men of Yuncheng have fallen under the pomegranate skirt, and General Ben really wants to see what kind of demeanor Princess Chen is. When we attack the city, the next thing is to drive straight in, and there will be no Beichen Kingdom from now on. ”&1t;/p>
"With this king guarding here, you don't want to achieve your wolf ambitions." &1t;/p>
"Really? Look at the weapons and armor of your soldiers, this general really wants to thank the queen mother's mother. Li Zhong said proudly. &1t;/p>
Hearing this, Shangguan Tianyu's face changed, the queen mother's mother? yes, why didn't he think of it? This time, the emperor ignored the opposition of the ministers, and insisted that the people of the Bai family were responsible for the purchase of military supplies, and those weapons and armor that had no resistance at all, I don't know how much the Bai family was greedy for ink from it, it was really a group of insatiable fools. &1t;/p>
No, even if these weapons and armor are problematic, then how did Li Zhong of Southern Chu know? Could it be that this Bai family has long colluded with Nan Chu? Empress Dowager Bai is so big-hearted? Her biological daughter died at the hands of Emperor Nanchu, and she cut off her head to sacrifice the flag, can she tolerate such a thing? &1t;/p>
"Even if our weapons and armor have quality problems, but we still have our bodies, as well as the oil and stones on this city wall, even if this king fights every soldier, he will fight you to the end." Shangguan Tianyu said coldly. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu's impassionedness undoubtedly aroused the hearts of those soldiers who regarded death as home, they all knew very well that only by guarding this city gate, then their families would have more peace, if they couldn't hold here, and other cities would be captured again, when the time came, their families would be slaughtered, and for the safety of their families, they must also fight with these wolves of Southern Chu to the end. &1t;/p>
"Lord Wang, don't worry, your subordinates are willing to fight side by side with Lord Wang, brothers, raise our banner." One of the soldiers, whose arm was fixed with a bandage, said loudly. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu looked at the injuries on his arms, the blood had soaked the white bandages, looking at the group of injuries under the city, Shangguan Tianyu felt very painful in his heart, but he was extremely grateful, grateful that he had such a group of good comrades-in-arms who regarded death as home. &1t;/p>
Although the Black Flag Army of the young owner of Murong Villa also joined the battle, they were outnumbered after all, and the fire oil and stones attacked again and again, and now, their arrows were shot, the stones were smashed, and the fire oil was all used up. The Southern Chu army has already begun to attack the city gate, and Shangguan Tianyu doesn't know how long the city gate can last. &1t;/p>
A burst of horses' hooves and shouts sounded, and Shangguan Tianyu looked from the city gate, and there was a cavalry rushing straight into the formation of the Southern Chu army from the right side of the city gate. &1t;/p>
After a while, the two sides fought, and Shangguan Tianyu stood and recognized the person who was fighting in the crowd, majestic, dressed in golden armor and black cloak blowing in the wind. The person who came was none other than King Chen, the god of war in Beichen. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu didn't have time to think about how King Chen could suddenly arrive, the most important thing at the moment was that they had to work together to kill the army of Southern Chu, otherwise it wouldn't be a few years before Southern Chu would cause trouble again. &1t;/p>
After a fierce battle, the Flying Eagle Army, which Nanchu was most proud of, was finally wiped out. King Chen cut off Li Zhong's head with a sword and discarded it in the army of Southern Chu, and the war stopped. The losses on both sides were heavy. At this time, King Chen, Shangguan Tianyu and the others were also exhausted, dragging their tired bodies back to the city. &1t;/p>
Shangguan Tianyu brought the weapons and armor of those soldiers to King Chen, who looked at the spear that broke in two with a single force, and the armor that shattered with a single stroke of the sword, his fists clenched, and his bones gurgled. &1t;/p>
This is all caused by the Bai family, these people know it, and the soldiers also know it. Earlier, Chu Lixue had already let people spread the news of the emperor's edict. &1t;/p>
Now, the Queen Mother's family has caused such a big disaster again, can she still excuse the Bai family? There is also the money-greedy and lustful emperor, who just thinks about indulging in lust and lust all day long. He didn't care about the lives of the people. The people, who originally had grievances against the emperor, became even more resentful after encountering such a thing. &1t;/p>
After cleaning up the mess on the border, King Chen and Shangguan Tianyu arranged for Chu Lifeng to help the people rebuild their homes here, while they took their secretly trained cavalry to advance towards Cloud City. &1t;/p>
"Yihan, how did you use these elite soldiers, if you let the emperor know, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." Shangguan Tianyu said worriedly. &1t;/p>
At the beginning, they trained these elite soldiers in order to protect their families and protect the country, and the salaries of these elite soldiers were supported by Princess Chen independently, so they have always been well hidden, but now that they are brought to the rescue, I am afraid that they will be charged with the crime of intent rebellion by someone with a heart. &1t;/p>
"It's okay, Lixue asked me to bring someone here. She said that if the border pass cannot be guarded, then once the next city is forced, Cloud City will be in danger. Besides, these cavalrymen are in secret bases and will not be revealed. King Chen said lightly. &1t;/p>
After listening to King Chen's words, Shangguan Tianyu was also a little relieved. It is true that these cavalry have been carefully selected and cultivated, and they have been hidden in the nearby valley, and all the quartermaster salaries are all in the personal responsibility of Princess Chen, and they have never been seen for more than a year. &1t;/p>
It's just that this is a matter of military needs, and the Bai family must give an explanation to all the courtiers and soldiers, otherwise, before other countries can call, the soldiers in Beichen Kingdom have already raised troops. &1t;/p>
Thinking of this, King Chen and Shangguan Tianyu accelerated the pace of returning to Cloud City, Chu Lixue's body was still recuperating, and King Chen was still reluctant to let her work for many things. &1t;/p>
As for the Bai family, after this incident, presumably the Bai family will never be able to turn over. What if there is the queen mother and the queen backing? Such a big moth, does he still want to stay in Beichen to plague the country and the people? &1t;/p>
It's just that King Chen didn't expect that what the Bai family did was not just as simple as greedy for ink and military supplies...... &1t;/p>
