Chapter 697: Defeat is like a lost dog
Dark clouds drifted by, obscuring the scorching sun.
The gentle breeze is very cool.
But Zhao Gao was sweating profusely, constantly wiping his sweat with his sleeves.
The soldiers who were in charge of protecting him were snickering in their hearts when they saw it.
Zhao Gao is now the prime minister, he used to be a general, so cowardly, how can he lead his troops to fight on the battlefield?
But ridicule is ridicule, Zhao Gaoneng became a general from an ordinary person, and finally became the prime minister of Dashi, and he must still have the ability.
And they laughed at Zhao Gao, no matter how powerful they were, they could only take care of Zhao Gao's home here.
"Lord Zhao is really majestic now." Wei Xiaobao's voice suddenly came from the roof behind him.
Zhao Gao turned around to look, and when he saw that it was indeed Wei Xiaobao, his expression changed greatly, his tongue was knotted in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
Several soldiers beside him flew up one after another, and the steel knives in their hands slashed straight at Wei Xiaobao.
The swords were intertwined, shining brighter than the sun that had just emerged from the dark clouds.
Zhao Gao wanted to stop it, but he still couldn't make a sound, so he was so anxious that he danced in place.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, we will swear to protect your lordship to the death." The soldiers beside him seized the opportunity and offered their flattery.
The group of soldiers who rushed towards Wei Xiaobao on the roof looked vicious, but under the chaotic knife, they didn't even cut the corners of Wei Xiaobao's clothes.
Wei Xiaobao was obviously standing there, motionless.
But no matter how they wielded their knives, they couldn't cut Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao is like a phantom, and he can't hurt the phantom unless he destroys the body.
"Stop, stop, stop for me." Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and hissed angrily.
The soldiers who were attacking frantically suddenly heard this, and they were all confused.
But Zhao Gao had an order, and they had to quickly retreat to the courtyard immediately.
At this moment, looking at Wei Xiaobao on the roof, that guy is simply not human in their eyes.
Wei Xiaobao jumped off the roof, looked at Zhao Gao, who was protected by the soldiers, and laughed: "Lord Zhao, don't come unharmed?" ”
"Governor, Governor, what wind is blowing you?" Zhao Gao asked in a trembling voice, barely squeezing out a smile.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him, Zhao Gao pushed them away, walked in front of Wei Xiaobao in a few steps, knelt down and said, "Xiaguan Zhao Gao, meet the overseer." ”
When those soldiers saw Zhao Gao's actions, they were all very shocked, and hurriedly returned their knives into the sheath.
Wei Xiaobao helped Zhao Gao up with a smile and said, "Lord Zhao is the prime minister of Shiguo, and I can't stand this big gift to me." ”
"Stand it, stand it." Zhao Gao smiled all over his face.
Wei Xiaobao glanced at the soldiers and asked with a smile, "Lord Zhao, are you worried that I will take your life?" ”
"All stand down." Zhao Gao shouted angrily, and all the soldiers left in a hurry.
Zhao Gao invited Wei Xiaobao into the study, and there was still hot tea freshly brewed in the study, and respectfully poured a bowl for Wei Xiaobao.
"The Overseer is here, but for His Majesty's business?" Zhao Gao knew it.
Wei Xiaobao nodded, thinking that it would be wisest to come to Zhao Gao from the beginning.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Gao was still alive.
When the black hole struck Stone City, there were very few people who survived, and all of them followed Shi Batian.
At that time, Shi Batian did not have Zhao Gao by his side, and it was very likely that Zhao Gao was in the field to escape the catastrophe.
"The Qin State invaded again, and there were 100,000 troops, menacing, in a few days, even down the five cities of Dashi, Wei Lao wanted to go alone, but His Majesty insisted on pro-government, Wei Lao was stubborn, so he had to agree." Zhao Gao said in a high voice.
At present, the battle situation in the south is very complicated, even if Shi Shuangye follows Wei Lan Yujia to personally conquer, which greatly boosts the morale of Dashi's soldiers, it is still very difficult to compete with the powerful Qin State.
In addition, Shi Guocai had just suffered a heavy blow, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and it was impossible to recover his vitality in a short period of time.
Therefore, the outcome of this battle feels predestined.
Zhao Gao receives the latest results every day.
After Wei Lan and Shi Shuangye arrived at the front line, they temporarily stabilized the situation, and it was very difficult for Qin to take the city of Shi Guo again.
But it was also very difficult for Shi Guo to regain the occupied city.
The two countries are currently at a stalemate, and it is difficult to say what the next direction of the situation will be.
However, one thing is certain, that is, Shi Guo no longer has hole cards.
Once the Qin State increased its troops again, the situation of the Shi State would be very dangerous.
What happened in Stone City would be known to the Qin State sooner or later.
After Emperor Qin learned about it, the first thing he thought of was definitely not to prevent the black hole attack from coming to the Qin State, but to take advantage of the great damage to the vitality of the Shi State and the great loss of national strength, to invade the Shi Kingdom and plunder it on a large scale.
Shi Guo's cultivation resources are very rich, which makes Qin Guo always covetous.
Under this great opportunity, the Qin State is afraid that it will not give up, and it will inevitably continue to increase its troops in the future.
Wei Xiaobao frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Frost Leaf's situation is so difficult, why didn't she tell me?" ”
"Your Majesty probably doesn't want to trouble the Overseer, after all, the Overseer has already helped us too much." What Zhao Gao said was just guessing Shi Shuangye's thoughts.
Shi Shuangye's heart should have thought the same way.
She would rather carry everything alone than cause trouble to Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao was most worried that Shi Shuangye would be controlled by someone with a heart.
Although Wei Lan seems to be reliable, there are still many powerful monks in the Stone Country.
If some Infant Slashing Ancestors join forces, Shi Shuangye will definitely not be an opponent.
Wei Xiaobao breathed a sigh of relief at the moment and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to the battlefield to have a look." ”
"It is a blessing for the people of Dashi to be able to go." Zhao Gao's ability to climb to today's high position mainly depends on his wonderful sycophant skills.
In addition to real skills, if you want to climb to a high position, it is almost difficult to do without being a sycophant.
Unless it is in troubled times, it is possible to win everything you want with your ability.
Wei Xiaobao took a sip of tea and got up to leave.
"Overseer, there is a teleportation circle to Long'an City, and three hundred miles further on, it is the ...... where His Majesty and Elder Wei are located," Zhao Gao hurriedly said.
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand, and when he walked out of the study, the person was gone.
Zhao Gao came to the door and looked ahead.
How did the Overseer practice his martial arts?
As long as they are separated for a period of time, when they meet again, Wei Xiaobao's skill improvement is terrifying, which is unbelievable.
For the map of Shiguo, Wei Xiaobao has already kept it in mind.
Since getting the ground down into inches, it is very easy to use the teleportation stunt to use the teleportation stunt.
In an instant, he had arrived at Long'an City as Zhao Gao said from Eagle Claw Pass.
Ryoanjo Castle is the largest castle in the southern part of the country.
The Qin State attacked frantically, just to take Long'an City as soon as possible.
Long'an City has the largest spiritual vein in the Stone Country, and the output of spiritual stones is very amazing.
That is also the existence that makes Qin Guo extremely greedy.
Wei Xiaobao did not stay in Long'an City, but just looked outside the city, and continued to walk south.
……
The moment the Qin army attacked the city gate, Shi Shuangye knew that everything was over.
But she didn't lose her mind because of this, and she had to retreat to Long'an City as soon as possible.
In any case, there is no room for failure in Yong'an City.
At present, there are 100,000 elite soldiers stationed in Long'an City, and it is not so easy for the Qin State to take Long'an City.
Wei Lan led a group of masters, as well as thousands of elite soldiers, to protect Shi Shuangye and quickly retreated.
Shi Shuangye had multiple knife wounds all over his body, his clothes were torn, and he was covered in blood.
Wei Lan saw it in his eyes, his old eyes burst into tears, and said: "It's all because the old minister is useless, he failed to protect His Majesty......"
"Grandpa Wei, it's not your fault." Shi Shuangye's eyes were full of sadness.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lost in the ruined city in front of them.
Even if there are still 100,000 elite soldiers in Long'an City, the Qin State will definitely continue to increase its troops, and in the face of the Qin State, which has been recuperating for a long time, Shi Shuangye really has no confidence that he can protect the Shi Kingdom.
Wei Lan is very powerful.
But Wei Lan is old after all.
If he is ten years younger, I believe that Wei Lan will be able to keep the Qin army out of the territory of Shi Kingdom.
Sadly, Shi Guogang has just suffered a huge change, and there is only one person who can be reused, the old Wei Lan.
If there is no young Wei Lan to appear, Shi Guo wants to compete with the powerful Qin State, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Your Majesty, let's go." Wei Lan urged, knowing that the Qin army would most likely choose to pursue.
After all, Shihuang Shishuangye is here, and there are only thousands of remnants around them, and they have just lost the city, and their morale is weak.
If the Qin army chooses to pursue, it will definitely take down Shi Shuangye's head.
And, of course, his head on the neck.
Take away these two heads, and the stone country will be defeated for thousands of miles, and it will not be long before the country will be destroyed.
"Kill."
At this moment, with a thunderous shout of killing, a large number of personal soldiers rushed out of the city.
Shi Shuangye turned over his horse and shouted, "Withdraw." ”
With thousands of remnants, he frantically fled towards Long'an City.
A soldier had already sent a letter to Long'an Castle, asking the guards of Long'an Castle to go out of the city to greet him.
Wei Lan turned his head from time to time to see that there were not too many pursuers in the rear, but there were also five or six thousand people.
If you stop fighting, you will definitely fall into a bitter battle, and it is difficult to guarantee that Meng Fill will not personally bring troops to reinforce him.
But the Qin army is now in a hurry, and it may be very difficult for them to escape to Long'an City safely.
Three hundred miles is not too far away, but in the current situation, it feels quite far away.
Looking at the stone frost leaves covered in bruises, Wei Lan gritted his teeth, pulled out his saber, took a thousand soldiers, and turned around to kill the pursuers.
"Grandpa Wei......" Shi Shuangye was anxious when he saw this.
Wei Lan turned his head and shouted, "Your Majesty, take care." ”
Wei Lan's move has already cost his life.
He is really old and useless, and now if he can exchange Shi Shuangye's life, it will be worth dying.
Shi Shuangye wanted to turn around and chase after Wei Lan, but was stopped by the soldiers beside him.
Wei Lan's purpose in doing this was naturally to keep Shi Shuangye alive.
If Shi Shuangye pursues Wei Lan now, it will only make Wei Lan's good intentions come to naught.
Of course Shi Shuangye knew this, but she couldn't do it just watching Wei Lan go to death.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and then quickly rolled down.
Tears fell onto the hot ground and dried up in an instant.
"Your Majesty, don't take the ...... of Elder Wei" The soldiers beside him were already in tears, and their voices full of sadness were very hoarse.
Shi Shuangye stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, waved his horsewhip, and ran forward.
Behind him, the shouting of killing was like thunder.
Wei Lan rushed into Qin's pursuers with a thousand soldiers, blood splattered continuously, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun.
Shi Guobing will know their fate, follow Wei Lan to give up everything, and fight desperately.
They knew that if they could kill one more person, they would be able to make His Majesty arrive in Long'an City safely.
At the beginning, with their courage regardless of their lives, they did deter the pursuers of the Qin State.
But as the battle progressed, in the face of enemy soldiers several times their size, the determination to die was far from enough.
The brothers beside him fell one after another, and even Wei Lan was injured in multiple places.
Wei Lan vaguely saw Shi Shuangye continue to run, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
