Chapter 160: Only Half a Day

"Lin Xian'er, since you're gone, don't come back, just be an ordinary person. ”

Zhao Lin for this former beauty.

There is still some lingering feelings.

It's a woman he has slept with, Zhao Lin is not so ruthless, he hopes that Lin Xian'er will never appear in front of him from now on, and live his life well.

Don't worry about any sect grudges anymore.

However, Zhao Lin knows that this may be difficult to do.

At this moment, suddenly, outside the palace hall, there was a figure that quickly swept over, appearing in the hall at an astonishing speed.

Kowtow to Zhao Lin.

The figure is Cao Zhengchun.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Cao Zhengchun's face was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "According to the report from the secret agents of Dongchang, 500,000 Mengyuan iron cavalry are rushing to the capital! The fire defenders along the way have descended one after another, and now the Mengyuan iron cavalry is less than 100 miles away from the capital!"

"Less than a hundred miles?"

Zhao Lin couldn't help but be taken aback.

With the speed of Mengyuan's iron cavalry, this distance, I am afraid that in half a day, these 500,000 iron cavalry can reach the outside of the capital and the soldiers will be under the city!

"Meng Yuan's iron cavalry suddenly arrived, but Dongchang didn't notice it, this is the old slave's dereliction of duty!"

Cao Zhengchun knelt down in front of Zhao Lin, "Please punish Your Majesty!"

"It's not your responsibility, get up. ”

Zhao Lin waved his hand and motioned for Cao Zhengchun to flatten his body.

The Flame Empire has not long been destroyed.

This Shangjing city has just been pacified.

If the intelligence network of Dongchang wants to spread out, it will naturally take a certain amount of time.

And Meng Yuantieqi launched a southern invasion at this time, which was to seize this window period.

This is not the fault of Dongchang and Cao Zhengchun.

"This Flame Empire has always been extremely wary of the Mengyuan people, why did they give up resistance so easily this time. ”

Zhao Lin frowned slightly.

The Mengyuan people are the great enemies of the Central Plains.

The Fire Empire has deployed heavy troops to defend the border of northern Xinjiang.

However, some time ago, the heavy troops in the northern Xinjiang basically let Yu Wenlie recruit and transfer them, and they gathered together for a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty.

But on the border, there are still defensive lines laid out by the Fire Empire.

And now, Meng Yuan Tieqi quietly broke through the defense line with ease!

Otherwise, Meng Yuantieqi would not have arrived outside the capital so quickly.

"It is said that in the hands of the Mengyuan Iron Horseman, there is a letter from the Fire Queen Liu Mengyao, which can recruit the border guards of the Fire Empire. Cao Zhengchun opened his mouth to explain.

"That makes sense. ”

Zhao Lin nodded.

It turned out that Liu Mengyao fled to the Mengyuan Prairie.

Now that the Fire Empire has been destroyed, and the royal family has accepted Zhao Lin's reward, only Liu Mengyao, the Fire Queen, can command the border guards of the Fire Empire.

"Your Majesty, now that the armies of the Great Song Dynasty have been transferred to various parts of the Fire Empire to quell the rebellion, it will be difficult to rush back for a while. ”

Cao Zhengchun arched his hand towards Zhao Lin, "Meng Yuan's iron cavalry suddenly arrived, and the capital was empty of defense, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it." ”

"Your Majesty, it's better to get out of the city quickly, go back to Jinling City first, and temporarily avoid the edge of Meng Yuan's iron cavalry. ”

In today's Shangjing City, I am afraid that there are only a few thousand people left, which is a drop in the bucket compared with the 500,000 Mengyuan iron horses.

It is impossible to hold the city.

"Back to Jinling City at this time, I'm afraid that the entire Central Plains will fall into the hands of that Mengyuan Iron Horseman. ”

Zhao Lin's brows suddenly furrowed.

Now it will take at least a few days to recall the troops of the Great Song Dynasty who went to quell the rebellion.

I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up.

And once the capital fell.

I'm afraid that the entire Central Plains will be swept away by this Mengyuan Iron Horse.

But if you want to fight, the defenders in this city are really not enough.

This made Zhao Lin undoubtedly in a dilemma for a while.

At this moment, suddenly, the eunuch walked in and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Fang Jue, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, asks to see you." ”

"Commander of the Divine Machine Battalion?"

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth lifted an arc.

His Shenji Battalion has been running on the road for so long, but it has finally arrived!

Now that the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry is about to come to the city, this Shenji Battalion is coming at the right time!

"Let him in!"

Zhao Lin waved his hand.

Later, a young general, dressed all over his body, walked into the main hall.

He was in a worried mood, his expression was excited, he looked at the figure on the throne of the dragon chair, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "Fang Jue, the commander of the Divine Machine Battalion, knock to see Your Majesty!"

"Flat. ”

Zhao Lin smiled slightly.

"Due to the long distance and the inconvenience of artillery transportation, the last general was late and failed to catch up with the big battle with the Fire Empire, please forgive your majesty!"

Fang Jue looked cautious and said in a deep voice.

The order given to him by the military department Shangshu was to make every effort to rush to the capital and participate in the great battle with the Fire Empire.

He hurried day and night, and it took him a full eighteen days, and finally arrived in Shangjing.

However, the war has been over for a long time.

This made Fang Jue very frightened.

"No, Commander Fang didn't come late,"

Zhao Lin smiled and shook his head, "Your Divine Machine Battalion came at the right time." ”

"Just in time?"

Fang Jue was stunned, and some of the second monks were confused.

Isn't this battle all over?

Why do you still say that he came at the right time?

Is Your Majesty joking?

"You shouldn't know that the 500,000 Mengyuan Iron Horseman, who traveled south day and night, has broken through the Flame Border Pass,"

A solemn meaning gradually appeared on Zhao Lin's face, "Now, these 500,000 Mengyuan iron horsemen are less than a hundred miles away from the capital. ”

"500,000 Mengyuan Iron Cavalry?!"

Fang Jue was taken aback.

Meng Yuan Iron Cavalry is brave and good at fighting, galloping the grassland.

It has always been a great disaster for the Central Plains Dynasty.

500,000 Mengyuan Iron Cavalry, this is much more terrifying than the 400,000 army of Agni!

"Fang Jue, now there are only a few thousand defenders in the city, and there is no way to stop the 500,000 Mengyuan Iron Cavalry. I am ready for you to lead the Shenji Battalion to snipe 500,000 Mengyuan Iron Cavalry and defend the capital for me. ”

Zhao Lin's gaze looked directly at Fang Jue, "You... Are you sure?"

Fang Jue didn't even think about it, so he shouted: "The last general will definitely be your majesty's liver and brain, and then die!"

He knows that His Majesty can't be cowardly at this time!

But when he thought about it, it was a full 500,000 Mengyuan iron horse!

That's a lot!

When he led the Shenji Battalion from Jinling City, he was indeed full of ambition and high spirits, and felt that he would definitely be able to fight a beautiful victory.

But he didn't think about fighting against 500,000 Mengyuan Iron Cavalry!

Although he is full of confidence in the Shenji Battalion.

But after all, it is the first time for the Shenji Battalion to go to the battlefield, and it is still unknown how much power it can exert.

"Fang Jue, how many people are there in the Divine Machine Battalion you led this time?"

Zhao Lin asked.

"Your Majesty, the Shenji battalion brought by the last general has a total of ten artillery pieces and three thousand firecrackers. In addition, there are a number of other personnel, adding up to about 5,000 people. Fang Jue reported.

"Enough. ”

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, "Fang Jue, I order you to lead these five thousand divine machine battalions to immediately go to the city wall to set up defenses!"

"You only have half a day, at most half a day, and the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry will be in the city!"

"The Last General's Order!"

Fang Jue's voice was very sonorous and powerful.

"Your Majesty, then go down and prepare. ”

There was only half a day, and he had to hurry up and transport the ten heavy cannons to the city wall, otherwise if Meng Yuantie rode in and the cannons were not in place, it would be in vain.

"Let's go. ”

Zhao Lin nodded.

Fang Jue hurriedly retreated.
