Chapter 66: Immortals fight
Outside Black Rock City, Cai Guo Military Camp!
The battle in Black Rock City continued, and neither side knew how many people had died, but neither side had any great grandmasters. Captain Jingguo and General Wang were both injured some time ago and did not fight, Wang Tai's side was just cooperating with the battle on Jingcheng's side, and if Grandmaster Jingguo did not move, he naturally would not move.
"Boom!"
There was a dull explosion in the barracks, and the desk in front of Wang Tai was shattered, and the military intelligence documents on it were scattered all over the place. Wang Tai stood with a pale face, the green tendons on his face exploded, and the violent aura on his body permeated out, alarming many generals in the nearby camp.
A group of generals rushed into the camp, and when they saw Wang Tai's expression, they knew that something was wrong. They didn't dare to ask more, and stood silently, waiting for Wang Tai to uncover the mystery. Wang Tai stood for more than a dozen breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart, he looked at a group of generals with some sadness and said, "Lord Min has returned to heaven, and Zhou Hai has been defeated." ”
"Huh?"
The faces of all the generals changed drastically, and many of them showed grief and despair in their eyes. Cai Min died, Zhou Hai was defeated, this battle was no longer able to return to the sky, Cai Guo was destined to be defeated, Cai Guo's national strength was not strong, and Cai Guo was estimated to be greatly injured after this war.
"There is no grandmaster in Jingcheng!" a general asked in surprise: "Who can kill King Min? Could it be that Li Hongtu's injury is fake? He has already recovered?"
The rest of the generals were very skeptical, except for Li Hongtu, who could kill Cai Min? Could it be that there was an outside grandmaster to help?
Wang Tai shook his head and said: "The news I have received so far is Li Yunyi, and an old eunuch beside him is very likely to be a grandmaster, but it is just the news that he concealed before." In addition, the Blood Wolf Cavalry is not the army of the barbarians, it is Li Yunyi's army. ”
"Who is Li Yunyi?"
A general muttered in a daze, and then seemed to think of something, and exclaimed: "That crippled Seventh Prince, the one who attacked Tiannan County?"
Wang Tai nodded, and all the generals showed a look of surprise on their faces, what Li Yunyi did in Tiannan County, as well as the "ransacking" of the city all the way behind, they had all heard about it, and they originally just listened to it as a joke, but they didn't expect this crippled prince to give them a big surprise.
"General, withdraw!" a general sighed helplessly: "No matter what the specific situation is, we have no power to return to this battle." If we withdraw now, we can still retain some vitality, and if we continue to drag it out, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, and our country will be in danger at that time. ”
The rest of the generals all hung their heads, the current situation is indeed irreversible, the supply of grain and grass is not available in a short time, even if Cai Guo mobilizes a large amount of grain and grass, the blood wolf cavalry can go again at any time. With the speed of the blood wolf cavalry, Cai Guo's cavalry could not catch up at all, so could it be difficult to send all the cavalry to transport food?
The small 1,000 blood wolf cavalry changed the entire battle situation, which was something that this group of generals never expected.
"Don't worry!" Wang Tai waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, wait here." ”
Wang Tai went directly out of the handsome camp, walked all the way, and walked to a camp tent in the corner. The camp was full of sergeants outside, and Wang Tai walked in and let the guards guard outside. There were no lamps and no windows in the tent, and the light was dim. There were two black-robed people sitting inside, their whole bodies shrouded in black-robes, and their faces couldn't be seen clearly.
Wang Tai didn't say hello, sat down directly, and said in a low voice, "Cai Min is dead." ”
The two black-robed people, one did not move, and the other spoke, and his voice was a little old and low: "We know." ”
Wang Tai said: "There is no way to reverse the situation in Jingcheng, and now there is only one way to win." That is, you help me, the three of us will shoot together, destroy Zhou Tai and Tuoba Wu, Black Rock City will be broken, and then wave Jingcheng, and Jingguo will die within a month. ”
"Impossible!" the black-robed old man shook his head and said, "We can't help you kill Zhou Tai and Tuoba Wu. ”
"Why?"
Wang Tai's eyes were slightly red, like a fried lion, and he said: "Didn't you help me hit Li Hongtu hard before? Didn't you come here just to help us? If you don't help us, Cai Guo will be defeated this time, how can you go back and explain to the people above you when the time comes?"
"We're here to help you. ”
The black-robed old man's voice did not fluctuate without any emotion: "But we are here to prevent Zhou Tai and Tuoba Wu from joining forces to kill you, just to protect you from being killed, we didn't promise to help you kill the two of them." In other words - we can only make limited moves, we can only protect you, and we can't take the initiative to kill Zhou Tai and Tuoba Wu, that's what the above means. ”
The old man in the black robe was a little awkward, but Wang Tai understood, these two people came here to be guards, not killers, and they could only make limited shots.
However, Wang Tai was still a little confused, and he asked, "Why? Why can't you kill Zhou Tai and Tuoba Wu?"
"Because of the rules of the game!"
The black robe gave a clear explanation this time: "In a big war between the vassal states, you can't ask for foreign aid, and you can't join forces, this is the rule of the game in Southern Chu." The first time we attacked, we hit Li Hongtu hard, but we didn't kill him, we just couldn't go too far. Otherwise, the major vassal states will definitely not sit idly by, and when the time comes, your Cai Kingdom will be under tremendous pressure, don't talk about destroying the Jing Kingdom, and you will not be able to protect yourself at that time, understand?"
"After we made a move, now the major vassal states and many forces in Southern Chu are tracking down our identity. So we didn't make another move later, otherwise Jingguo would have been destroyed a long time ago. This time, we are actually taking a very big risk here, once we reveal our identities, we can only kill ourselves. So if we can't make a move, we won't make a move, let alone help you kill the Grand Master of Jingguo. The major forces and vassal states of Southern Chu are all staring here, if we dare to help you kill Zhou Tai and Tuoba Wu, this is the bottom line of breaking the rules of the game and provoking the major forces, what can you do if you destroy Jingguo at that time?
This time, Wang Tai understood a little, his face became ugly, and he sighed helplessly. He asked again: "You have already broken the rules of the game by attacking the lord of a country in Fancheng and interfering in the war between the two countries, right? Why haven't the major forces and vassal states moved?"
The black-robed man paused for a moment and explained, "I said just now, we didn't kill Li Hongtu. Secondly, the major forces and vassal states do not know our identity, and thirdly, the people above us have very great energy, even if some people suspect it, they dare not act rashly without evidence. ”
Wang Tai's eyes shrank slightly, he didn't know the identities of these two mysterious grandmasters, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then why do you want to help us? You have an enmity with Jingguo? The energy of the people above you is so great, little Jingguo doesn't dare to offend him, right?"
"Don't inquire about things you shouldn't ask. The black-robed man's voice became cold and said, "High-level games, knowing too much is not good for you." ”
"I see!"
Wang Tai stood up with a wry smile, bowed and retreated.
Walking outside, he listened to the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from the side of Black Rock City, his face showed a look of sarcasm, and he muttered softly: "What a high-level game! Immortals fight, mortals suffer, the high-level has a thought, but below is tens of thousands of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives and forgotten to die, and millions of people have been displaced and their lives have been ruined. That's it, that's it. ”
Wang Tai returned to the Shuai camp, looked at the map, and directly ordered: "From now on, the whole army will press on and storm Black Rock City." ”
"Huh?"
All the generals were shocked, Wang Tai knew who he was going to meet, it seems that things have taken a turn for the better?
It's a pity that the ecstasy in their hearts has not yet appeared on their faces, and Wang Tai said in a deep voice: "After nightfall, the whole army will return to the camp with a truce, and at dusk, the purple cavalry will move out and sweep away the enemy scouts within a radius of a hundred miles nearby. After the Qingcai stayed behind in the camp, the rest of the army withdrew overnight and withdrew directly to the country. ”
"Whoa!"
A group of generals looked at each other and said nothing more. They all understand that now their task will be even more difficult. Retreating is harder than attacking, bringing more sergeants back to Cai, and that's what they need to do later.
In the afternoon, Cai Guo threw all his troops in, and the attack became more violent, and the three walls of Black Rock City were all in an emergency. After the general Wang got the news, he could only mobilize all the reserves and defend without counting the casualties.
The fourth prince Li Yunxiang is very heroic, he has been fighting on the front line, he is only twenty-four years old this year, but his combat power has reached the ninth grade, and he is extremely brave. The combat effectiveness of the personal guards around him was very strong, and everywhere Li Yunxiang went, the morale of the soldiers of Jingguo was greatly boosted, and the army of Cai Guo was easily repulsed.
Taiwei Zhou Xian and Tuoba Wu went up to the city wall, and the two looked at the army of Cai Guo who was frantically attacking the city in all directions, but their faces showed a look of sarcasm. These two are veterans of a hundred battles, and they both received news from Heilongtai, how can the two of them not know Wang Tai's idea of withdrawing his troops?
Wang Tai used a bloody battle to show his attitude, and if he was forced too quickly, he would not hesitate to die together.
Zhou Xian is quite old, he is not wearing armor, but wearing a gorgeous long robe, his body is a little rich, and he looks like a rich man.
With a smile on his face, he couldn't see the majesty of a country's military governor, he looked at Tuoba Wu who was wearing a general's armor and said, "General King, you are seriously injured, you can sit in Black Rock City later to coordinate military affairs." The old man can lead the troops to pursue, and His Royal Highness has also worked hard during this time, so let him rest in the city. ”
Tuoba Wu is a standard general, he looks more than forty years old on the surface, his posture is tall and strong, his eyes are sharp, he waved his hand and said: "No, the Tai Lieutenant is also seriously injured, and Tai Lieutenant, you are in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, so naturally you are in charge of the coordination." Your Highness is young and heroic, the enemy army has not retreated, and our territory has not yet been recovered, how can you covet comfort? Let Your Highness and I pursue the enemy army and recover Dongyuan County. Taiwei Hugh wants to persuade more, I have made up my mind. ”
"This ......"
Zhou Xian's face showed a look of embarrassment, he looked at Tuoba Wu for a moment in a daze, and sighed helplessly: "Then there is His Royal Highness Lao Si and the Great General King, I wish you a victory and immortal achievements." ”
