Chapter 21 The Battle of the Dragons, Section 1: Soldiers Forcing Zheng Du (I)
The fierce battle in Beiguan City lasted for five hours. ใNo Pop-up Novel Networkใ(Hand-typed novel)
Zheng Jun suffered more than 300,000 casualties, most of which were surrounded by the Divine Soul Army and could not leave the camp, and were buried alive in the fire.
More than 80,000 of them became captives, and although the rest escaped, they were all crushed.
Shao Yuan planned to leave 50,000 soldiers and horses in Beiguan City, commanded by Zhao Tian. To prevent Zheng Guo's soldiers and horses from following their example, they directly broke through the pass to attack the old Zhou, and drove straight into the capture of Beiyin City.
The remaining 600,000 people, all under the leadership of Shaoyuan, rushed all the way to the south and went straight to the direction of Zhengdu
"Everyone speed up, don't be knocked down by fatigue, there are no soldiers and horses in Zheng to resist us, kill Zheng Du and the sect master to kill Zheng Du, there are countless beauties, countless delicacies, aren't you all tired of eating grunt fruit? Don't you all want to have more beautiful female slaves? Zheng Du, these are all there"
Only those soldiers and horses in the north shouted excitedly in agreement, and Zhao Ji saw that the Divine Soul Army was indifferent, so he couldn't help but remind Shao Yuandao, "Saying this kind of thing is against the rules of the sect." โ
"Oops - the special period boosts morale, the old god will seeker doesn't care about eating grunt fruit for a while, but the warriors in the north are tired of eating, I'm tired of eating, if it weren't for the war, I wouldn't be able to eat roast whole sheep."
Zhao Ji had no choice but to be silent.
I knew that at the beginning, the initiates of the Northern Land were very unacceptable to the rules of the Divine Soul Sect. They all felt angrily that their own property would become public, and they couldn't eat it as much as they wanted, and they still needed to exchange it for trust, and those beliefs made people eat more than enough fruit at once, but it was far from enough to eat meat at once.
It wasn't until after the war broke out that the grievances in the hearts of the soldiers and horses in the north were reduced a lot, and it was also because they witnessed the fierce spirit of death in the battle of the Divine Soul Will Seeker. All of them secretly admire and are ashamed.
When the Zheng army of Beiguan first attacked the old Zhou city, a hole was smashed by trebuchets in one of the towers, so that the defenders could not fight on the edge to shoot and attack the Zheng army climbing along the ladder.
While everyone was worried, many old seekers of the Divine Soul Will on the castle tower jumped into the ruined hollow one by one, and all of them fell to the ground, and then let the other people who jumped down fall directly on their backs and lay down on themselves. Flesh and blood filled the hollow pit alive
This kind of collective suicide to win, not to mention the soldiers who shocked the north, even the Zheng army who witnessed it was stunned, it was unbelievable that there was such an army in the world that was not afraid of death
At that time, the warriors of the Northland admired those weak seekers of the will of the gods and souls that they had looked down on in their hearts, and only then did they feel that it was a matter of course to eat the fat and fresh meat that belonged to them with them.
Fierce and not afraid of death, the real fierce is not afraid of death.
Every time a city tower is destroyed, the Divine Soul Will Seekers will commit suicide in such a group to fill it, and every time Zheng Jun's ladder is full of people, there are Divine Soul Will Seekers who sacrifice themselves to jump on the top of the ladder, kick their feet to knock down the ladder, and exchange their lives for dozens of lives of the enemy.
The reason why Zheng Jun failed to capture the old Zhou was because of the fighting spirit of the seeker of the divine soul will. Zheng's warriors could not climb to the tower through the ladder, and Zheng's trebuchets could not destroy the walls of the city beyond the defenders' defense.
It was only at that time that the warriors of the Northland recognized and were willing to get close to the seekers of the will of the gods.
Shaoyuan led the army all the way, and Zheng Guo, who was empty inside, had no military strength to resist their offensive.
When King Zheng, who was in Zhengdu, received the military information sent by the defeated army, his whole face was pale and he collapsed on the throne.
Zheng Guochao's Chinese martial arts were frightened and frightened, and they spoke one after another, persuading King Zheng to lead the hundred officials to leave the Zheng capital and go to the front to inspect the battle situation. In fact, it is just to flee out of the capital and seek protection in the front-line army.
At the beginning, King Zheng was unwilling to make the decision to abandon the capital and flee, but the combined statistics of the soldiers, horses, and troops in various parts of the country showed that no more than 30,000 people could rush to support in time, and they could not resist the hundreds of thousands of divine soul armies coming from the east and north. There are few Chinese martial artists who are not afraid, and they keep dissuading them day by day, and everyone in the palace from the empress dowager to the concubines and eunuchs and maids pack up and just wait to escape.
The next day, I got a military intelligence report, saying that the Divine Soul Army traveled 500 miles a day.
King Zheng finally ordered the capital to be abandoned in a panic.
The businessman who got the news in Zheng Duzhong had already left Zheng Du with his family wealth and fled for his life, and the people who could leave also ran away. After the Chinese Wu escorted King Zheng out of the palace, he saw the unusual depression in Zhengdu. King Zheng remembered that he was full of ambition, remembered the majesty of Zheng Guo in the past, and the current situation, he couldn't help but be full of pain and couldn't help crying in the carriage.
When the brigade passed by the mansion of the chief of Zuo, the soldiers came to report that the chief of the left, the marquis of Xin, and the princess of Tianlai had all led the guards in the palace to meet them in front of them, hoping to protect King Zheng's travel.
Someone dissuaded King Zheng and said, "At this moment, the king must be on guard."
King Zheng also knew that Zuo Shuchang and Ling Luo were powerful, so he asked the masters of the Feixian Sect to protect his chariot, and let the guards in the palace led by Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou go behind, and they were not allowed to get close to Wang Jia.
Yue Fei, who was riding with King Zheng in the car, was very unhappy, and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the concubines, it is better to let Zuo Shuchang protect the king on the left and right of the king." โ
"In a special period, the queen, please be considerate of the king's considerations, as the so-called defense of people is indispensable. โ
Yue Fei sighed and said, "At least let one of the Xinhou or Zuo Shu Chang get a little closer to the king, in case the northern monarch attacks, there is one of these two, and the king can also be safe."
King Zheng didn't want to be too upset with Yue Fei's mind, and wanted to pretend to be generous, so he said, "Okay, then let Xinhou go to the squadron to standby." โ
Saying that, the chief manager of Zheng rushed to the rear team, and when Ling Luo heard it, he wanted to persuade his father to go to the squadron, but Commander Zuo had to go. The two fathers and sons knew that in case the Divine Soul Army chased after them, the team at the back would inevitably be responsible for breaking the rear, and when they were arguing, Chief Zheng smiled strangely, "The king's order is very clear, and the chief of Zuo and the marquis of the letter don't seem to understand."
Ling Luo hurriedly said, "Please take charge of Zheng to be clear, it is more secure for Chief Zuo to protect His Majesty, so ......"
At this time, Zuo Shuchang stopped him and said, "Although my son's martial arts are world-famous, he does not have the ability to face thousands of soldiers and horses without moving an inch. This march route is dedicated to the place where there are many canyons, and the latter must be able to prevent the pursuing Divine Soul Army from passing, and I ask myself, can I do it?"
Ling Luo sighed and said, "So, father, be careful"
Only then did he want to go with Princess Tianlai, but Manager Zheng stopped King Zheng and said that King Zheng only let Ling Luo go to the squadron, and Princess Tianlai had to stay.
