Chapter 298: The situation is pressing

With the advent of the spirit cannon, the heavy cavalry, an extremely lethal military branch, will soon withdraw from the battlefield, so Qin Liang feels that it is a pity.

The war will become more efficient and bloodier.

Qin Liang reined in his mount and looked up at the sky.

The battle between Jide and Xiongba continues.

After distancing himself from Ji De, Xiong Ba once regained the dominant power and suppressed Ji De to death.

Jide was also in no hurry to fight back. His purpose is obvious, just to contain Xiong Ba for the Zhenxi Army, not to fight with Xiong Ba.

After all, a Qi practitioner of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, once he fought to the death against him desperately, even if he could win this battle, he would still have to pay a heavy price.

Ji De's motive is very simple, he just wants to use Xiong Ba's power as a whetstone, and fight Xiong Ba to the death, which is not in his interests at all.

"The Zhou people deceived me too much!"

Xiong Ba's divine sense swept across the battlefield, and he found that the iron cavalry he brought had been completely defeated under the mixed attack of the light cavalry and heavy cavalry of the Rock Battalion.

A small number of Chu horsemen abandoned their armor and weapons and fled in panic on horseback, while many more were overtaken by the enemy, pierced by spears, or hacked to death by machetes.

Some Chu cavalry even lost their fighting spirit, dismounted and knelt on the ground, giving up resistance.

His last intention, obstructed by the monks of the Zhou Kingdom, ultimately failed.

Eight thousand Chu horses also completely lost here.

This is not only the victory or defeat of a local war, but also has a deep meaning.

From this moment on, from Jingcheng to the capital of the Chu king, the Chu State did not have any strongholds that could be defended, and the nearly 200,000 Chu troops north of Qiulingdu had become rootless trees, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

Xiong Ba let out a faint sigh of emotion, sacrificed a few spiritual weapons, and forced Ji De to retreat. Immediately after, he strode forward, came to Gray Haze's side, crushed a piece of jade pendant on his waist, and a small teleportation array appeared in front of the two.

"Master Haze, I have something to ask for......"

Xiong Ba's voice was calm, but when it fell into the ears of the gray haze, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Lord Warlord is polite, if necessary, the old man will do his best to do it......"

The haze no longer has the momentum of the Venerable Master from the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and he hurriedly accepted it. He clearly felt the anger and killing intent in Xiong Ba's heart. If he dares to say a word, he believes that Xiong Ba will not blink his eyes and twist his head off.

"It's easy to say......"

Xiong Ba pulled the haze and stepped into the portal, as for the Chu cavalry who were still resisting stubbornly on the battlefield or fleeing in panic, he didn't even look at it and left.

"Wan Sheng!"

When Xiong Ba left the battlefield, the last courage of the Chu army to resist disappeared, and the war soon came to an end.

In less than an hour, the 8,000 elite cavalry of the Chu State was completely crushed by the Panshi Battalion with the posture of the mountains.

Of the 8,000 elites, more than 3,000 were killed on the spot, more than 2,000 were seriously wounded, and less than 500 fled from the battlefield.

"The siege of Jingcheng has been lifted. ”

After seeing Xiong Ba escape, Zhao Hongxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Xiong Ba was unwilling to fight to the death and fled from this place in formation, he could be sure that he would no longer want to continue to besiege Jingcheng.

At this time, after losing the fiasco of thousands of elite cavalry, Xiong Ba naturally knew that after the Chu State sued for peace, the government and the opposition would inevitably regard him as the bearer of the defeat in this battle, and the king of Chu and all the forces in the court and the central government would definitely put all the blame on him.

This is not speculation, but there are precedents to follow.

The commander of the Shaking Mountain Army, Lishan Ghost, is an example. In fact, when reviewing the defeat of the Chu army before, Xiong Ba, like everyone, pushed out the unlucky guy of Lishan Ghost and made him bear all the responsibility for the defeat of the Northern Expedition.

But the Lishan ghost has already surrendered to the enemy, and the country must find a new person to take the blame, Xiong Ba, who is highly respected and known as the god of war, is naturally the best choice.

But Xiong Ba didn't want to take the blame.

With such a big cauldron, he can't carry it at all, once this crime is convicted, no matter how big the Chu State is, there is no place for him, and the family and vassal forces that rely on him are bound to be liquidated in various ways.

At this time, the only thing Xiong Ba would do was to seize more power and ensure that all the forces in the court of Chu State were afraid and did not dare to attack him.

The 200,000 Chu troops stranded around Jingcheng were his last hope.

Taking away the haze, he wanted to build a teleportation array at any cost before the Zhenxi army counterattacked, and bring the army back to his fiefdom as much as possible.

As long as he still has these 200,000 troops in his hands, plus his cultivation in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, if the court wants him to take the blame, he has to weigh his counterattack.

......

"Are we going to summon my father and ask him to lead an army to stop Xiongba?"

Zhao Hongxiang pondered for a while, and finally found that this question involves a wide range of issues, how to choose, or it is more appropriate to ask her husband.

"Naturally, I have to inform my father-in-law, but I can't stop Xiong Ba ......"

Qin Liang smiled and said: "After this battle, Xiong Ba's vigilance and worry about the court of Chu State is far better than that of our Zhenxi Army, and it is even possible that if the situation is unfavorable to him, he will take refuge in the Immortal Dynasty, just like the ghost of Lishan, you must know that the military god of Chu State is more valuable than a commander of the Shaking Mountain Army, if he is sincerely attached, the Son of Heaven will naturally be rewarded." ”

Zhao Hongxiang blinked her eyes wide and nodded again and again. Now that the husband has made his judgment, the situation will inevitably develop according to his thoughts.

Zhao Hongxiang has a mysterious confidence in Qin Liang.

......

Chudu, Chunguanfu.

"Young Master Zhaowen, aren't you still giving up?"

"Hehe......"

The ghost of Lishan put down Jingyue, stood up from his seat, and sneered condescendingly: "The battle of Jingcheng has come to an end! The combined forces of the Zhenxi Army and the Pingchu Army broke through the Qiulingdu, and the 8,000 cavalry of the Chu State were all wiped out, and the life and death of the 200,000 Chu Army foot soldiers were unknown, and Xiong Ba was missing! The capital of the Chu State was already under the iron cavalry of our Immortal Dynasty, and the army was coming from dawn, and the time left for the King of Chu was running out......

"Lishan Ghost!"

Zhaowen Gongzi shouted angrily: "I treat you well, why do you act for the tiger and harm the people!"

The son of Zhaowen is the younger brother of the king of Chu, Mi An. Mi'an has a land immortal cultivation, and he is also a great witch, the realm of witchcraft is unknown, and he is good at spells.

The soldiers of the Immortal Dynasty came to the city, and sent the ghosts of Lishan to serve as the main envoys with the Chu State.

The Lishan Ghost was far more effective than the rest of the Immortal Dynasty as a negotiator.

After all, the Lishan ghost is from the Chu people, and he knows the background of the Chu State very well, and knows what kind of way to get more benefits from the Chu State.

Not to mention that the Lishan Ghost had just returned to the Immortal Dynasty, he also needed to have enough results to let Zhou Tianzi know his usefulness.

And that's exactly what happened.

Each of the conditions put forward by the Lishan Ghost was like a sharp knife piercing into the vital point of the Chu State, and while making the Chu State feel severe pain, it would not have the idea of burning the jade, and finally agreed to all the conditions proposed by the Immortal Dynasty in humiliation.

"Shobun Childe ......"

The Lishan ghost looked at Mi'an, sighed and said, "...... Putting aside the past grievances, the state of Chu is, after all, the state of my parents and the place of requiem of my ancestors. It is precisely because of this that I have sought the greatest interests for the state of Chu within the scope of my ability......"

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Waiting for the Zhenxi Army and the Zhenbei Army to come to the capital, waiting for the Chu State is not a peace document, but to ask the King of Chu to take the sheep out of the city, and the society will no longer exist......"

Hearing this, Zhaowen Gongzi's pupils shrank slightly, and finally, he sighed dejectedly.
