Chapter 258: Qi Shengtian's Foreign Aid
This time, Qi Shengtian riveted all his strength to make Sheng Guixin and Zhang Yuqing die, so Zhang Yuqing's side also raced against time to make full preparations.
When night fell, everyone waited for the day, and everyone tightened the string in their hearts.
Zhang Yuqing is quite optimistic in his heart, the Qing army of Sheng Guixin is well-trained, Jincheng has 20,000 elites, and most of Qi Shengtian's subordinates are rabble, ruthless outlaws like Hai Gongxiu, forcing unarmed peasants with wooden sticks and shovels to go into battle, and they don't even have the most basic weapons and armor.
Their side has a big chance of winning.
In the middle of the night, the ground gradually shook.
"It can't be the Earth Dragon, right?" Xiao Shu'er hugged Xiao Ya'er and asked uneasily.
However, the faces of Du Jingyi and the others around him changed greatly.
"It's the sound of horses' hooves! It's cavalry! Zhong He shouted, it's not dozens or hundreds, listening to this voice, there are tens of thousands of cavalry!
Zhang Yuqing's face also changed.
If it was in Liangzhou, 10,000 cavalry would not be a big deal at all, but this was inland, and it was difficult to transport horses, and there were very few cavalry.
And in this era, the cavalry is overwhelming in terms of strength and belongs to the top combat power, not to mention, this group of cavalry must be followed by more infantry.
Zhang Yuqing and Sheng Guixin glanced at each other, and they both saw the consternation in their eyes, how could Qi Shengtian have so many cavalry! If he had such a powerful combat power, wouldn't he have been crowned emperor long ago?
In the night, Lu Wei had already run down from the city tower, his face was cold.
Sheng Guixin said to Zhang Yuqing: "I'll ask someone to escort you first." ”
"Who did he collude with? Isn't it Kim Yong-so? Zhang Yuqing pulled Sheng Guixin, who turned his head to go up to the city tower, and asked.
In fact, there is no need to ask, everyone knows who it is, has the strength to take out tens of thousands of cavalry, and has an undying posture to hunt down Sheng Guixin, except for Jin Yongxiu, there is no one else.
The other vassal kings who kept private soldiers were proud of their status, and they would not collude with Qi Shengtian, who they regarded as grass cowards, and they would not personally get involved in the internal affairs of the Red Lotus Sect, but would only wish that they would lose both sides of the fight, so that they could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Only Jin Yongxiu hated Sheng Guixin, so it is very likely that Jin Yongxiu personally led troops to kill Sheng Guixin this time.
The high-level leaders of the Red Lotus Sect who came over were shocked, "He actually colluded with the lackeys of the imperial court?" We will definitely tell the Buddha Mother about this, our Red Lotus Sect will not tolerate traitors! ”
"Whoever he colludes with!" Sheng Guixin waved his spear, and the sound of breaking through the air rose, and his young and handsome face was full of uninhibited rebelliousness, "When you come, you must be ready to be the soul of my gun!" ”
Zhang Yuqing said in a deep voice: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and defend the city." ”
"Moonlight!" Sheng Guixin shouted angrily with a straight face, "Obedient." ”
Zhang Yuqing said calmly: "Brother, since I was a child, I have never heard your words. ”
She silently added in her heart, you listen to me.
Sheng Guixin suddenly grinned, and he took Zhang Yuqing's hand and handed it to Lu Wei.
Under the miserable white moonlight, Sheng Guixin's smile looked a little desolate and unwilling, and said, "Take her away." ”
Lu Wei's eyes were gloomy.
Sheng Guixin finally took a deep look at Zhang Yuqing, and turned around and left without hesitation.
Everyone dispersed, leaving the space to Lu Wei and Zhang Yuqing, hoping that Lu Wei could persuade Zhang Yuqing
"You know, I'm not leaving." Zhang Yuqing said lightly.
She has escaped too many times, and she never wants to run away again, let alone let Sheng Guixin die here.
Lu Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "It will be very dangerous, even more dangerous than the Hu people coming to attack the city." ”
"You think I'm scared?" Zhang Yuqing tilted her head and looked at Lu Wei.
Lu Wei said softly: "You are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of your death, leaving me and the children to live alone in this world." ”
"If I die here, I can only say that my life should be like this." Zhang Yuqing curled the corners of her lips, "I sometimes believe in my fate. ”
The moonlight plated Zhang Yuqing with a cold aperture, making her smile look a little indifferent.
"Is it just for him?" Lu Wei asked rhetorically.
Zhang Yuqing shook his head, "I have already explained my relationship with Sheng Guixin, believe it or not." I also hope that I can survive and live to see you and the children, but I can't be afraid of you and the children because of you, and I can't shrink into a safe circle for the rest of my life. ”
If she can't even get over the hurdles of the city in front of her, how can she conquer the wider world?
Lu Wei simply loved and hated her, stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, with a gritted teeth, "Zhang Yuqing, you are really a cold-hearted woman!" How could I fall in love with such a heartless and unrighteous woman as you! ”
"It's not the first day you've known me." Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "Let's go, we can't let Jin Yongxiu kill three birds with one stone." ”
If Jin Yongxiu breaks through Jincheng and finds that not only his old enemy Sheng Guixin is there, but Lu Wei and Zhang Yuqing, who even want to kill him in a dream, are also there, waiting for him to catch turtles in the urn, wouldn't that mean that a big gift package will be sent from the sky to help him ascend the throne? Jin Yongxiu is going to die laughing in Jincheng.
Lu Wei sneered, "If you don't leave, you drive me away?" Why, in your eyes, Sheng Guixin is a person who can die with you, and I, a decent husband, want to live alone? ”
"That's not what I meant." Zhang Yuqing was choked a lot.
Lu Wei snorted, and his tone was calm, "I won't leave, if I want to die, I can only die together with the two of us, otherwise I will live, you and Sheng Guixin will be under the Nine Springs, you and I will be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks?" ”
"You're not done!" Zhang Yuqing was furious, "I said a long time ago that I don't have that kind of relationship with Sheng Guixin!" ”
Lu Wei let go of Zhang Yuqing, the long knife came out of its sheath, turned around and walked in the direction of the city tower, and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't care what the relationship between the two of you is!" After this battle, Lao Tzu immediately slaughtered him! ”
"Unreasonable!" Zhang Yuqing angrily followed Lu Wei to the city tower.
There were quite a few soldiers stationed on the city tower, and everyone was silent, silently watching the countless torches pouring towards Jincheng like a tide in all directions.
The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and they could even hear the sound of the enemy's steel armor rubbing against it.
Zhang Yuqing's heart was awe-inspiring, Jin Yongxiu stole the treasury and put a huge amount of wealth into his pocket, and now the army's equipment is obviously on a higher level, and then let him be the husband of the queen mother, the emperor's middle father, and the taxes of Daxia have become his private treasury, I am afraid that he will soon have the strength to compete with the Liangzhou army.
"You're really not leaving?" Zhang Yuqing asked Lu Wei.
Lu Wei stared at the dotted torches in front of him, "Before I set off, I brought 100,000 black armor troops, borrowed the road from King Chen Liu, and stationed in the west of Rucheng. ”
Zhang Yuqing was surprised and delighted, the Black Armor Army can travel hundreds of miles a day, as long as they stick to the city, they will definitely be able to wait for the Black Armor Army to come, but then her face changed, and her eyes widened and asked, "You came to me, what are you doing with so many troops?" ”
Lu Wei touched his nose and said weakly: "What are you not doing?" As a commander-in-chief, what's wrong with going out with some troops? ”
"Are you trying to bring the army in and take me away under the pretense that I won't go with you?" Zhang Yuqing was furious, grabbed Lu Wei's ear and asked.
Lu Wei's eyes wandered, how could he admit that he was carried away by anger, and wanted to find Sheng Gui's heart, and said vaguely: "Even if you are deflated, it is also worth my use of 100,000 black armor troops?" I can kill him with just my left hand! ”
Zhang Yuqing smiled, her eyes gloomy and compassionate, "Oh, Lord Lu is really amazing!" ”
"It's true, I just treated him as an uncle and let him before." Lu Wei said modestly.
He is also glad now, before he set off, he was jealous and led the army out, and now he has become a hole card to save his life.
Zhang Yuqing's hand began to twist hard, Lu Wei's ears were red, and he hurriedly hugged the person into his arms, and kissed him several times in the night, "Okay Qingqing, I'll talk about it later, I've already sent a messenger over, and they will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest!" ”
Qi Shengtian found strong foreign aid, and Sheng Guixin's strategy of defending the city also had to be changed, from the previous initiative to defend the city, waiting for rescue.
Sheng Guixin pointed to the map and assigned the task of guarding the gate to his generals, and after Lu Wei comforted his daughter-in-law, he walked over, pointed to the lowest, and most easily breached Ximen and said, "Give me five hundred people, and I will guard here." ”
"Give him a thousand." Sheng Guixin instructed his subordinates.
Lu Wei and Sheng Guixin glanced at each other coldly, and each turned his head.
Tsk, I still get tired of each other, and I still have to kill them.
The army besieging Jincheng stopped at a place three miles away from Jincheng, set up camp, and the inside and outside of the city were solemn, quiet and terrible. Zhang Yuqing knew that there was no room for negotiation in this battle, and the other party was rushing to kill her and Sheng Guixin.
The other side stopped, but because of the long-distance attack, the people were sleepy and tired, and they had to leave time for the soldiers to rest, and when it was dawn tomorrow, what awaited them was a tragic battle of life and death.
Lu Wei found a corner of the city wall, hugged Zhang Yuqing and sat there against the city wall, and kissed Zhang Yuqing on the cheek, "Sleep, I'll keep it." ”
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhang Yuqing lay in his arms, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat in his chest, and asked.
Leaving here and returning to Liangzhou, Lu Wei can continue to be his feudal official in peace and stability, enjoy power and glory, and stay here, it is likely that he will not be able to resist Jin Yongxiu's iron hooves, and his unlucky life will be lost in Jincheng, a small and unknown place.
Lu Wei chuckled, "You're not afraid, what else do I have to be afraid of!" It's a big deal to go down to the Yellow Spring together and be a pair of ghost mandarin ducks! ”
Zhang Yuqing closed her eyes and curled the corners of her lips, "Don't say unlucky words!" ”
The sky was white, the first rays of the sun were shining on the ground, and the city was full of troops, archers, trebuchets and thunderbolts.
Qi Shengtian stood on the chariot at the front, staring at Jinzhou in front of him with hatred.
Zhang Yuqing hid behind the city wall and looked at Qi Shengtian, and his eyes couldn't help but look at him three ways.
At this moment, Qi Shengtian took out an iron horn from behind his back and shouted loudly into the city: "Sheng Guixin and Wang Qiuniang are both reincarnations of demons, and they have committed many crimes, don't let the brothers and sisters of the Red Lotus Sect be deceived by them!" This trip is just to kill these two demons, and the rest of the people, as long as they lay down their weapons, this seat will not be blamed for the past! ”
Sweetheart Theatre:
Zhang Yuqing: The tin horn I invented, why did he use Qi Shengtian? Did you pay me royalties?
