Chapter Eighty-Six: Death
Zhiwu hurriedly tightened the reins in his hand, and the horse neighed and straightened up, and was forced to stop in place.
Zhiwu on horseback tried his best to stabilize his body to avoid being overturned and landing.
Behind him, there was already chaos.
The talisman fell into the crowd and exploded violently, with a huge momentum and sound, which immediately forced the people behind Zhi Wu to take a few steps back, and even brought a lot of people down.
It was the county lord of Yinsheng, who was also forced by this sound, and retreated one after another.
For a while, it was full of the sound of people turning over their horses.
At this moment, two figures dressed in the costumes of Nanzhao soldiers quietly approached Zhiwu.
It was easy for Zhi Wu to restrain the startled horse, and he was about to drink the people behind him to stabilize himself, but when he turned around, he saw a sword light like a crescent moon coming towards his neck.
He was so frightened that he rolled over and fell off his horse.
However, before he could feel the pain, he saw a sword light slash towards him again.
Zhi Wu hurriedly rolled a few times, dodged the sword that followed, and lifted his knife to block it.
He steadied himself and was about to stand up, but unexpectedly, his chest suddenly cooled, and he half-bent his knees, and lowered his head in disbelief.
His chest had already been pierced by a sword.
Then, only to feel a chill on the back of his neck, Zhi Wu only felt that his head suddenly rolled to the ground, rolled twice, and the world was spinning, and he was completely unconscious.
Behind him, He Zheng withdrew his blood-stained sword.
Then an arrow stepped forward, lifted Zhi Wu's head, flew on the horse, and shouted in Nan Zhao with internal force: "Zhi Wu is dead, Yinsheng soldiers, don't retreat quickly!" ”
"Zhiwu is dead!"
This voice was wrapped in internal force, spread out in a circle, and reached the ears of He Lingjiang, who was standing high on the city tower.
She couldn't help but smile slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Zhiwu is dead, Yinsheng soldiers, don't retreat quickly!" ”
The morale of the soldiers in Yaozhou was greatly shaken, and they also shouted: "Zhiwu is dead!" ”
"Zhiwu is dead!"
The Yinsheng soldiers, who were originally besieging the city, were suddenly shocked, as if they had been called back to their senses by something, and their eyes, which were originally shrouded in murderous intent, gradually became confused.
The momentum of the siege suddenly slowed down.
Han Zheng raised his right hand, and the arrows that were originally as thin as dense rain also stopped.
He Zheng avoided the sword that was slashing at him, threw the head of Zhi Wu into the arms of the county lord of Yinsheng, and then flew forward with Qingzhu.
Coldly, a bloody head fell into his arms, even if he had taken a lot of lives like the Lord of Yinsheng, he couldn't help but be shocked.
She wanted to throw this head out instantly, but fortunately she reacted in time and held back the thought.
At the same time, He Lingjiang, who was on top of the city tower, shot another arrow with a talisman attached, forcing back the pursuers behind He Zheng and the two.
And they came swiftly toward the wall.
He Lingjiang glanced at Han Zheng: "Governor." ”
Han Zheng understood: "Put the rope." ”
He Zheng and the two swept to the front of the city wall, and two long ropes fell from above, and they immediately flew up and grabbed them, and with the power of the ropes, one of the enemy soldiers who turned around and wanted to climb up to the front cut down.
In a few breaths, the two of them had followed the rope and flew up the city wall.
After they stood still, He Lingjiang was relieved.
Next, it's the matter of the Yinsheng County Lord.
But he said that the county lord of Yinsheng held the head of Zhiwu, and after being stunned for a moment, he finally picked it up: "General Zhiwu has passed away, and the generals of Yinsheng have listened to my order, suspended the siege, and retreated here!" ”
The voice shouted in unison through the internal strength of the guards beside her, and it immediately spread.
The soldiers beside him just wanted to open their mouths to stop them, but after thinking about it, now that General Zhiwu has passed away, only the county lord can command the 20,000 Nanzhao army.
In today's battle, first the city lord was seriously injured, and then General Zhiwu died, which was really not going well!
If this continues, I don't know what accidents will happen.
It is better to withdraw the troops for the time being, as the county lord said.
The drums of war beat and passed from the front to the rear.
Luo Yan, who was originally pressing the formation in the rear, suddenly scolded: "What? Yinsheng, is this going to retire? ”
With the help of the Divine Palace Xuanshi and the Yinsheng City Lord, he was originally full of confidence and could quickly take Yaozhou City.
Now, not long after the war began, Zhi Wu lost his life before the battle, not to mention, now Yinsheng has to withdraw his troops?
With a slam of his hand, he slapped the handrail of the chariot on the beam.
"Pass my order, order the county lord of Yinsheng to continue to lead the troops to attack the city, and not to retreat!"
The herald immediately waved his flag and carried his order to the front.
However, how could the Lord of Yinsheng be willing to listen to his orders at this time?
Now, the Yinsheng City Lord has been seriously injured and unconscious, and the general Zhi Wu has also died in Huangquan, and this Yinsheng army, as He Lingjiang said, has reached her hands.
What she has to do now is not to consume her troops in vain and attack Yaozhou, but to think of ways to hold this army firmly in her hands, and go back to Yinsheng to fight with Tongtuo.
Yaozhou City is laid, so what?
It is not difficult to wait until Da Zhou makes a move and sends troops to take it back.
Even if she is constrained by Xifan at that time, it will not be of much benefit to her to give up Yaozhou to Nanzhao like this.
Daddy has been planning to take advantage of this to seek more benefits for Yinsheng City, and even wants to get a piece of the pie and bring a part of the Yaozhou boundary into his own hands.
But as far as she is concerned, instead of reaching out to reach the benefits promised by the empty mouth, it is better to hold the present and truly hold the silver city and her own destiny in her hands.
Expanding the boundaries of the land is naturally good.
But who has ever asked those people from tribal villages who have been forcibly recruited to lose their peace and lose their lives because of this?
With a wave of his hand, the drums thundered, and the Yinsheng soldiers immediately retreated back and wanted to retreat to the rear.
In this way, the front army of Yinsheng was transformed into a rear army.
Luo Yan, who was in the rear, was even more angry.
He led a large army to hold the rear, and he wanted to wait for Yinsheng to attack the first wave, and then send troops to pick it up.
Now that Yinsheng's army has turned around, the royal army in his place can't move forward, so he can only retreat.
In addition, after such twists and turns in this battle, morale has declined, and Luo Yan had to order the army of the royal court to also withdraw to the camp first, and then discuss.
When the county lord of Yinsheng brought people back to the big tent, Luo Yan angrily lifted the curtain and broke in.
"What does the county lord mean? Why did you suddenly withdraw from the army? ”
At this time, the county lord of Yinsheng arranged for people to put up the head and body of Zhiwu.
Because they wanted to discuss the follow-up, there were still several middle- and low-level generals in Yinsheng City sitting in the tent.
Hearing Luo Yan's question, she couldn't help frowning: "For the battle of Yaozhou, first my father was seriously injured, and then General Zhiwu lost his life, and even the soldiers of Yinsheng sacrificed a lot when they attacked the city. ”
"Second Prince, is this still not enough dedication to Yinsheng City?" As she spoke, a chill appeared on her face.
