Chapter 220: Breaking the City

"The disaster is born in war, the people are born in war, and the war is born in the people, so the war-going are unjust, and the righteous do not fight. But if you need to fight, you must first settle the people and convince them, which is the way for the ages. Now he can see the camp tent on the front line, but at this time, Zhao Yulong is leisurely watching his "Sitting on the World", obviously not panicking.

Zhao Yulong was not panicking, but Jing Rui and the others were already panicking. Although this matter has little to do with them, no matter how you say it, everyone is also a brother, and it is natural to feel panicked when she sees that her brother is in trouble and there is nothing she can do.

"Brother Long, when are you still reading here, let's hurry up and think about how to deal with it!" Now Hu Yun was already scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, but Zhao Yulong's face still didn't see the slightest anxious look.

"Don't worry, believe me he won't do anything to me, you'll know when the time comes. After speaking, Zhao Yulong continued to look at the book.

But this time I didn't see a few words, so I had to put down the book, because the carriage had arrived, so obviously Zhao Yulong was going to meet the Qitian general Nangong Zhengyu.

However, Zhao Yulong was still not too flustered, as if everything was expected by him. But for these brothers, it is too unbearable, because it seems that Zhao Yulong will definitely be punished.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yulong saw General Qitian, his first sentence was to ask: "Where is the grain and grass I asked you to transport?"

"Lost!" Seeing that General Qitian's face was already a little not good, Zhao Yulong still sat still.

"Lost?" Hearing this, General Qitian's face instantly turned gloomy.

"Yes, I threw them all on the road. Speaking of which, Zhao Yulong even made a gesture of throwing something, and didn't take General Qitian's face in his eyes at all.

"Listen to me, I don't care about the process, I just look at the results. So don't you think about explaining what you encountered in the process, I don't listen to this, you didn't do it, you didn't do it, you didn't understand?"

"Naturally, I understood, and the result was that I lost the grain and grass, and it was as simple as that. ”

Hearing Zhao Yulong's calm reply, General Qitian was also surprised, so he approached and asked: "I'm curious, why did you lose them, I hope you'd better give me a reasonable reason." You must know that you are the first person in my barracks who dares to stand and speak to me despite violating military orders. ”

"You're also the first general who just finished saying and didn't want to listen to the process, but now he changed his words. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yulong actually replied, which really made Jing Rui and them sweat for Zhao Yulong in their hearts.

But apparently General Qitian did not fight because of this, but laughed loudly: "Good boy has courage and is a handsome talent! It would be a great thing if you could command the whole army in the future, but I still want to know why you lost him." ”

"Because there are 10,000 pursuers behind him, it is not worth losing thousands of soldiers for these dispensable food and grass. ”

To be honest, Zhao Yulong's statement is really the first time General Qitian has heard of it, the most important thing in the general army is grain and grass, but in Zhao Yulong's opinion, it is a human being, which is a little incomprehensible.

However, General Qitian knew that as long as Zhao Yulong dared to say such a thing, there must be his reasons, so he really wanted to hear Zhao Yulong's reason: "These military rations are at least enough for our entire army to eat for two months, why is it not important?"

"It is precisely because of this that it is not important, because it only took two days to conquer the royal city of the enemy country, and it is not a waste of energy to bring so much grain and grass back?"

"How can you be sure we'll be able to take this place in two days, and what if we can't?"

"A man can't say that he can't do it, so I think General Qitian will definitely be able to conquer the enemy country in two days. This is a bit powerful, as if an ordinary soldier would not be able to say such a bold thing.

But Zhao Yulong said it, and General Qitian was very happy. Because he is a smart person, he naturally knows that Zhao Yulong's words are satirizing his strength on the surface, but in fact he is affirming his strength.

It is naturally a good thing that his strength can be affirmed, so General Qitian is naturally overjoyed, thinking that he has picked up a treasure, so he asked directly to Zhao Yulong: "Then when do you guess I will capture the enemy's capital?"

"I think it's tonight! After all, the news that I was escorting a large amount of grain and grass was released by the marshal, and now that the enemy's large army has not returned, it is a good time to capture the imperial capital. ”

"Yo, you know that, it seems that you are indeed a genius. Now it was not only General Qitian who was surprised, but the soldiers around him were also taken aback by this sentence.

General Qitian was surprised because Zhao Yulong actually knew that this was the news he had spread, and he dared to say it. However, there is no way, after all, the enemy army will not be able to attack the country for a long time, so the morale will definitely be low.

And if you spend a long time, the morale of the soldiers will be lower, and when the time comes, the soldiers will be gathered in various places, and then the United Nations will implement a policy of encirclement against the expeditionary force. As long as they are surrounded, it will be very bad for the expeditionary force, so naturally they want to conquer the national capital as soon as possible, and then capture the enemy royal family to achieve victory.

However, these armies have always been a big problem, so in order to lure them out, General Qitian naturally released the news, saying where Zhao Yulong's team had transported most of the grain and grass.

The imperial capital was already short of food, so when he heard such news, he naturally sent a lot of troops and left here in small groups at night.

And General Qitian naturally knew all this, but he deliberately let these squads out. And when those squads are gone, there are not many people left in the whole country.

And at this time, Zhao Yulong's army also arrived, so now is a good opportunity to attack the city, and naturally night action is the best.

It's just that these soldiers can't stand it anymore, and a marshal actually betrayed his subordinates, which really makes some soldiers feel cold.

But it doesn't matter much, because they don't know how to say anything, so they are the only ones who are really cold. And more importantly, if this war is won, their feelings will naturally be washed away by victory, and only the marshal will be wise in their hearts.

However, at present, General Qitian is even more appreciative of Zhao Yulong's talent: "Sure enough, it is a rare talent, even some of the marshal's plans can be guessed so thoroughly, and it is several levels stronger than those noble children I have seen." ”

Obviously, this is the recognition of Zhao Yulong, so now it makes Jingrui and them feel a lot more at ease, it seems that in this case, General Qitian will not punish Zhao Yulong.

However, the most important thing for the marshal is to be able to prevent others from guessing his mind, although his mind Zhao Yulong can guess it, but others can't guess it, which is enough: "Although you are so good, there are still some punishments to bear." After all, this is a military order that cannot be violated, and if you have a precedent, there will be more people, so naturally you can't let it go, otherwise the soldiers will be so chilled. ”

In the end, he still has to be punished, but for Zhao Yulong, these are nothing. After all, how could he give himself too heavy a punishment during the war, so it was just a process.

I saw him speak, and as Zhao Yulong expected, he said something about the same: "Nian is in the case that you failed to complete the task, but you are young and there are reasons for this." You will be exempted from punishment, but you will not be an official from now until ten years from now, and now I will strip you of your position in the army. All your honors in the army will no longer be recorded on your head, and I will not report some of the exploits you have received before. ”

"Willing to be punished. "Where is this punishment! It was completely unintentional to help Zhao Yulong, so Zhao Yulong didn't have to worry that he would be suspicious of the emperor because he was too powerful.

After all, the feeling of being in the academy before was really uncomfortable, and someone was watching you from a distance when you were sleeping, so that Zhao Yulong had to sleep in a coat when he slept.

So now that these credits are not reported, it means that the emperor does not know himself, and the emperor does not know himself, which means that he can live an easier life.

However, this Qitian general was a little unhappy: "To tell you the truth, you are so smart that I really want to keep you in the barracks as a general, but it's a pity." You also understand that the military order is like a mountain, I can't favor you, this is already the lightest punishment. ”

"Understand, don't worry! Marshal, you can't enter the barracks now, but you may not be able to enter in ten years, after all, I'm still young, and I'll still be young in ten years. ”

"It's like, as if you've just turned 17, and it's true that you still have decades to splurge. When it came to the young Qitian General, he felt a melancholy on his face.

Yes, he was also young, and he was presumptuous, but these years have long passed, he is no longer young, and these things can only become a thing of the past.

And at this time, he suddenly thought of something and asked Zhao Yulong: "Ten years later, you will really appear in my military camp?"

"Not necessarily, but in 10 years I think we'll be on the same battlefield. Zhao Yulong was very sure when he spoke, giving people a feeling of inconclusivity, which made General Qitian very relieved.

"That's fine, the future of the imperial kingdom can only be handed over to you young people, we are getting old, and we are about to lose our weapons. However, the imperial kingdom cannot inherit the great cause of the army without one, after all, we have no border passes to withstand the wind and sand, where will there be a prosperous era of the country. ”

Speaking of this, General Qitian actually sighed, it seemed that he really felt that time was no longer young for him.

And in his body, Zhao Yulong saw a very important thing, yes, the military soul. This is something that is almost on the verge of extinction in the Imperial Kingdom, because under such a policy, who can really live for their own country.

So only these generals who are far away from the imperial capital, away from the imperial government, and away from the intrigue of the imperial kingdom will have such a feeling in their hearts!

Inadvertently, Zhao Yulong felt that these generals were pitiful because they were loyal to the wrong country. Yes, these rotten countries should have been destroyed a long time ago, but it is a pity that these generals are on the wrong side.

Therefore, Zhao Yulong respected them and wanted to kill them, because they were the most difficult level for him to destroy the imperial kingdom, and only by killing them could the entire imperial kingdom be destroyed.

Now that he has walked out of the camp, Jing Rui asked Zhao Yulong: "Do you really plan to stand with him?" Although he is indeed a good person, don't forget that he is serving the imperial country. ”

"Of course I know that, but I'm just saying that I'll be on the same battlefield with him in ten years, not that I'm his ally or his general. ”

"You mean you're going to kill him, and you can see that you still respect him, so call me when you can't do it!"

"No need!" In the face of Jing Rui's request, Zhao Yulong just said indifferently: "It is precisely because of respect for the opponent that I want to kill them with my own hands, so that is the best respect for the opponent." Because it's worse to keep a loser alive than to kill him!"

"I hope you're right, but it's not too early, so let's rest for a while! I'm going to attack the enemy's capital at night, and I don't want to run out of energy. ”

After speaking, Jing Rui went back to sleep in the tent, and Zhao Yulong watched "Sitting on the World" directly in his own tent After all, he has seen so much, and now he has a lot more understanding of the world, and some of the things on "Sitting on the World" can naturally be understood.

Soon, night had fallen, and Zhao Yulong had finally finished reading a page of the Art of War, and now it was the time when he was full of energy when he heard the sound of drums.

There is no doubt that this is a war drum that will only be beaten when it comes to war, so naturally this is going to be played. However, it is reasonable to think that this time is up, it is evening, and the enemy army has just finished eating, and it is a relatively relaxed time.

Now these enemy soldiers were sitting on the city wall one by one and drowsy, completely oblivious to the distance, and some of the soldiers were even asleep. This is not difficult to understand, it is natural for these people to be wary of the fatigue of the expeditionary force every day, after all, they are not puppets.

But now was not the time for them to rest, and they didn't even know that the expeditionary force was out of the expeditionary force when the whole army was dispatching.

When the expeditionary force was already under the city, they suddenly realized that the enemy had attacked, so they hurriedly released arrows and closed the city gates.

But what's the use of this, the expeditionary force is so close, how can it not shoot them. And the number of people on the expeditionary force's side is obviously much higher, and there are still quite a few magicians.

So at the moment, the shooters didn't do much, and the magicians just worked together to smash a huge magic ball directly into the city gate.

This huge fireball was falling downward, with a huge heat, and the entire battlefield was about to burn. What's even more terrifying is that when this fireball falls halfway, it suddenly cracks, forming a rain of fire and smashing down the entire city.

This time it's terrible, although a fireball was powerful before, but at most it was only a disaster in one place, and this fire rain can be said to be dead as long as it is not dodged, which obviously made the soldiers of the enemy country panic.

But it's useless to panic, after all, these fires have fallen, and everything has settled. So now they only have to look at their luck, after all, if they are lucky, they may not be smashed, and bad luck is naturally dead.

But most of the people in this entire national capital are unlucky, so in this instant, the entire national capital has lost more than half. Except for those who were particularly strong, there were only those who were particularly lucky.

So this fire rain is really amazing, and Yang Zheng is even more interested in it, after all, he is also a fire magician. And he also knows this trick - Star Fire Rain, Blue Rank Low Level.

This is almost his yearning, in fact, he does have a magic book that is the stars and fire rain, but there is no way, his current strength is not able to practice at all.

What's more, he has very few friends, and he doesn't know fire magic, so naturally he just looks at it with envy, but he knows that one day he will be able to learn it.

At present, although most of the enemy army has been damaged, the gate is still closed, so it will take some effort to win.

Zhao Yulong originally thought that some soldiers would come to hit him with something, but Zhao Yulong found that he was thinking too much, this city gate was strong, but it still didn't seem to be as strong as the Yuan Spirit Shield.

I saw General Qitian, who was rushing towards the city gate at this time, and he was speeding up all the way, and he had no intention of stopping at all. And when he approached the city gate, he suddenly used his soul power to form a Yuan Spirit Shield, wrapping him and the horse.

This Yuan Ling Shield is already strong, and the Yuan Spirit Shield composed of this soul power is naturally even more powerful. So he rushed there, and with a bang the entire gate was breached.

The gate collapsed along with the soldiers behind it, and before they realized what was happening, they heard a noise, and then a man rushed in on horseback.

Then there was a cloud of blood, and their heads had rolled to the ground. Undoubtedly, the marshal's example, and the heroic killing of the enemy, naturally greatly encouraged these soldiers, and they all rushed into the city gate like crazy.

And these disciples, when they saw that the soldiers had entered, naturally thought of their own academy assessment, and they followed suit.

Seeing this, Zhao Yulong's heart was naturally full of enthusiasm, so how could he not go in? Therefore, he rushed in with Jing Rui and the others, and killed the enemy when he saw it.

And in the meantime, Zhao Yulong suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, still on the battlefield, or killing the enemy without scruples, but he had no friends beside him, and the enemy was much stronger.
