Chapter 0117: North Hunting
After Shi Min led his troops into Jianzhang Palace, he was immediately received by Shi Hu.
As soon as they met, Shi Hu couldn't wait to ask: "Thorn slave, how many soldiers and horses did you bring to King Qin this time?" Is there a way to retreat from the enemy? ”
"The king, the minister led his troops to fight with the rebels for a night, and only then did he count the troops, there were less than 30,000 people, and the soldiers and horses under his command had already been scattered. As for the strategy of retreating from the enemy, now it seems that the only way to do this is to stick to Jianzhang Palace and wait for the army of King Qin to arrive! ”
Hearing this, Shi Hu couldn't help but sit down in his position, sighed, and said, "That's the only way." Thorn slave, from now on, all the defense of Jianzhang Palace will be entrusted to you, I believe that under your command, you will definitely be able to hold on to the reinforcements of the Qinwang divisions in various places! ”
"Yes!"
There are at least 80,000 regular troops in the Jianzhang Palace, and it is not difficult to rely on the tall and strong palace city to block the siege of the rebels, but now the people are not aligned, and the soldiers and horses of the various departments are uneven, and the orders cannot be unified.
Shi Min was ordered to be in danger at this time, but he had to do it as a last resort.
Shi Min then walked to the palace on the side and summoned Qin Mu, Wei Liao, and Wang Ping.
"That's pretty much the way it is now. The rebels besieged Jianzhang Palace, and they couldn't take it for a long time, and I Jianzhang Palace certainly had a lot of troops, but the food and grass in the palace were in short supply, and after a long time, I am afraid that there was only killing people to get food. Shi Min's eyes narrowed.
With his ability, coupled with the desperate resistance of the soldiers and horses of all departments, he can at least protect the construction of the Zhang Palace for half a year, and this time is enough for the troops of King Qin from all over the country to arrive.
But for such a long time, let alone half a year, as far as Shi Min estimated, the grain in the palace can no longer support half a month, and once half a month passes, Shi Hu will definitely kill the maidservants in the palace and use her meat as military food.
Wang Ping said puzzledly: "Then how should we act?" Did he persuade Shi Hu to give up Jianzhang Palace and leave Xiangguo? But general, at this critical moment, when there is a fight, Shi Hu will never ignore himself and the prestige of the Zhao court and flee in embarrassment. ”
"I know that. But Shi Hu didn't want to, so we forced him to do it! ”
"Please make it clear to the general!"
"Third uncle, you are like this. Tonight, you take 500 warriors, change into rebel attire, and attack Shenwu Gate! Take advantage of the chaos, you will open the Shenwu Gate to lure the rebels into the palace! ”
"No!"
The night is like ink.
The battle up and down the palace of Jianzhang Palace is still not stopped, and the rebels are divided into more than a dozen echelons, each echelon has more than 10,000 people, and they are attacking Jianzhang Palace like crazy.
Each echelon fought for only one hour, and then it was replaced by another echelon, another new force. Therefore, inside and outside the Jianzhang Palace, up and down, there are dead bodies everywhere, and the blood is flowing like a river, this scene seems to be unable to even look at the moon in the sky, so he hides in the clouds.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing are still endless, from the top of the palace, there are constantly tar, stones, rolling wood, and overwhelming arrow rain down, the rebel soldiers under the palace city are like ants, climbing up the ladder, but can only get a head broken blood flow results.
At the same time, Wang Ping took 500 rui soldiers in disguise and disguise, dressed in stubbornness, and suddenly killed the officials and soldiers in the city when they were resisting wave after wave of ferocious attacks of the rebels.
"Poof!" The spear pierced the breastplate, and a stream of crimson blood splashed like a fountain.
"Kill!" Wang Pinghu roared, followed by the first soldier, and went straight to the gate of the palace.
This sudden situation stunned the officers and soldiers who were at the head of the city.
Seeing this, Shi Bin, who was originally defending the Shenwu Gate, couldn't help but exclaim: "What's the matter? ”
"Report - General, something is wrong! Hundreds of people suddenly appeared in the palace, and the palace gate has been opened! A lot of rebels are already rushing in! ”
"What?!" When Shi Bin heard this, he suddenly changed color, and shouted, "Someone! Go and block the palace gate for me! The rebels can't be allowed to enter the palace! ”
At this time, Shi Bin still wanted to make amends, but it was too late. No, countless rebel soldiers held their breath and rushed into the palace like wolves, inside and outside the Shenwu Gate, corpses were all over the place, and they were in a mess.
When Shi Xuan heard that the Shenwu Gate had been breached, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately led the guards of the East Palace to rush directly to the Shenwu Gate. The soldiers and horses of all the troops fought fiercely around a Shenwu Gate.
Subsequently, Shi Hu got the news of the loss of Shenwu Gate, and in a panic, he didn't even ask how Shenwu Gate was broken by the rebels.
"Nope! Don't go! I'm not leaving! ”
Li Nong persuaded bitterly: "King, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" The king can temporarily hunt north of Xiangguo and lead the army of the Quartet to the king of Qin! At this time, the rebel army is large and invincible, it seems that Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong and others have hundreds of thousands of troops under their commands. ”
"Yes, yes!" Yiyang Gongshi Jian also said, "Father, what General Li Nong said is extremely true. At this time, trapped in Jianzhang Palace is already a dead end! Now that the rebels have invaded the palace, they are outnumbered and their morale is high, and we cannot defeat them in any way! Please ask my father to hunt north for the sake of my great plan of the Great Zhao Kingdom! ”
"Please ask the king to plan for me Zhao Guo, temporarily hunting north!" The ministers and generals present all shouted in unison.
"Where's Shi Min? I want to see Shi Min! At the critical moment, Shi Hu still wanted to listen to Shi Min's advice.
It didn't take long for Shi Min, whose armor was already stained with blood and his clothes were disheveled, strode into the Evergreen Palace.
"Thorn slave, do you think Jianzhang Palace can still hold it?" Shi Hu asked with great concern.
"My lord, with all due respect, now that the rebels have broken through the palace and are constantly rushing to the palace, our army will not be able to resist it no matter what."
Hearing this, Shi Hu finally sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that I would be forced to come here by Shi Xuan's fang!" That's it, I'll hunt north for the time being. Shi Min! ”
"The minister is here!"
"You immediately gather all the troops and horses, and leave behind the army of the Dead. Except for some necessary things, don't bring any miscellaneous people! ”
"No!"
In a palace.
"Xiao Cui, what's the situation outside?" Looking at the palace maid who hurriedly ran in, Zheng Cherry couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, something is wrong! The rebels have broken through the Shenwu Gate and entered the palace, and the slave maid has just seen that the prince of Changshan County is already gathering troops and horses, and it seems that he is about to evacuate Jianzhang Palace! ”
"So, has the king decided to hunt north?"
"That's how it should be."
"Then why hasn't this palace gotten any news?"
Zheng Cherry was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Yes." The nature of the king is like this, and this palace is still hoping for it! ”
"Mother, let's run away! The rebels are about to come to the harem! If you don't run away, it's too late! ”
"Run? Where can we escape? The king doesn't care about the life or death of the palace, and the child of the palace, Shi Zun, is at odds with the palace, and the palace is alone, where can he escape? ”
"Lord Gun! Niangniang, we can go to Changshan County! ”
"Yes, yes. Let's go to the Thorns! Zheng Cherry's eyes exuded a look of hope.
