Chapter 248: The old man looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it!
On a local battlefield where only a few thousand troops can be deployed on a small scale, there is no battle formation that cannot be broken by a fierce general with dozens of elite soldiers!
If there is, then add another one!
Even if this Chu army is composed of the most elite palace guards, even if there are many members of the Chu royal family in this Chu army, they have been fighting martial arts since childhood, can fight well, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the clan.
But who are their opponents?
Guarded by hundreds of soldiers, Ying Chengzhi broke through the Chu army's formation from the weak point of the flank, and drove straight along the gap.
And after the Chu army's array was pulled out of the gap by Ying Cheng, Su Jiao did not hesitate to lead his troops to kill.
Under the leadership of two fierce generals, the two elite soldiers fiercely inserted into the Chu army formation from the front and side.
In just a quarter of an hour, this elite army that Li Yuan had high hopes for collapsed!
Looking at the guards whose formation collapsed and were slaughtered by the Qin army, Li Yuan's hands trembled: "How can this be!" How so! ”
This elite army is the family foundation left by King Chu Kaolie to King Chu Warrior.
It is also the hole card that the king of Chu can protect himself under the protection of the clans.
As a result, it was just broken?!
Li Yuan can't accept it!
But Li Yuan had to accept it.
Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, Li Yuan broke off and shouted: "Order! ”
"Jing's soldiers and horses rushed to Dongcheng to stop the enemy, and the guards retreated and regrouped!"
At the same time, the northern city wall of Shouchun City.
Jing Li and Jing Po did not command their soldiers to resist the Qin army, but put their hands behind their backs like old men walking around the bend, and looked at the city with a smile.
There, Ying Cheng held a halberd in his hand, blood-stained heavy armor, unstoppable!
Jing Li couldn't help but nod again and again: "Great goodness!" This thrust was crisp and swift! ”
"Color! Even in the depths of the enemy formation, they are also watching the battle situation, and they are ready to order all departments to cooperate, and they are worthy of being the generals of the world! ”
"This ...... Hiss ~ roll over and sweep the legs with the halberd, although it seems to be an obstacle to the view, but it solves the urgent need and has urgency! That's how the general should be! ”
During the battle of Anling City, the people of the Jing clan hated to kill Ying Chengcheng.
But now, the Jing clan's people's mentality towards Ying Chengcheng has changed.
Since you can't beat it, let's climb relatives!
As long as the relationship is good, it will not be drenched in gold juice again!
Jing Po also had a smile on his aunt's face: "The patriarch has done a good thing after all." ”
"Such a general will be the son-in-law of the Jing family!"
Jing Li said enviously: "Brother Po is blessed!" ”
Jing Po is Jing Chou's eldest son.
Although it has not yet been decided which Jing daughter to marry, since he wants to marry his granddaughter, he has to choose one of Jing Po's daughters.
Jing Po laughed heartily: "Where, where." ”
"What happens to the future of the family girl depends on her own creation!"
Although the Jing daughter just went to be a concubine for Ying Cheng, the people of the Jing clan didn't care about these details.
When the Empress Dowager Huayang first married Daqin, she was just a concubine of An Guojun.
But with the wrist of the Chu woman, the Empress Dowager Huayang took the love of An Guojun.
With An Guojun succeeding to the throne as King Xiaowen, the Empress Dowager Huayang was also able to become the queen of Great Qin.
Today, Jing's daughter is just Ying Cheng's concubine, maybe tomorrow she will become Ying Cheng's wife!
Therefore, many people of the Jing clan are looking forward to the day when Ying Chengcheng will officially become the son-in-law of the Jing family!
Just when Jing Li and Jing Po looked at Ying Cheng with the eyes of their son-in-law, the herald rode their horses and galloped over: "Herald Yin Ling!" ”
"Jing's soldiers and horses immediately rushed to Dongcheng to block the enemy, there must be no mistake!"
Jing Li frowned: "Please return to Ling Yin, Jing's incompetence!" ”
"Even if the Jing clan goes down to the city to resist, it can't stop the Qin army!"
The Jing clan has reached a cooperation with Ying Chengcheng, and Jing Li is really unwilling to tear up the contract and let Jing's private soldiers fight to the death for the king of Chu.
Jing Li is still waiting to be Ying Chengcheng's relative!
The herald's voice was still solemn: "This is the general's order!" ”
"Please give orders to the captains immediately!"
Jing Po bent down and picked up a Qin army crossbow arrow from the ground, stepped forward silently, and suddenly burst out, holding an arrow and piercing the herald's neck!
"You ......"
The herald was shocked and frightened and wanted to shout, but Jing Po covered his mouth with one hand.
"Shh~" Jing Po said softly: "It won't hurt soon." ”
At the same time that Jing Po made his move, Jing Po's family soldiers also moved together and assassinated the other four heralds together!
When he couldn't feel the herald's breathing, Jing Po threw the herald's body down the wall.
Jing Li exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Po, are you crazy? ”
"Killing a herald is a capital offense!"
Jing Po glanced at Jing Li in surprise: "What nonsense is my brother talking about?" ”
"What herald? Brother didn't see it at all! ”
"Xu was shot by the arrows of the Qin army on the way, after all, the Qin army is brave!"
Jing Li was slightly stunned, and then smiled and bowed: "Yes, what herald?" ”
"I didn't even see it!"
"But there may be a herald to deliver the general's order later, how should we respond?"
The meaning of Jingli is clear.
You killed this batch of heralds, but what about the next batch?
If two groups of heralds died in a row, then Li Yuan would definitely come in person.
At that time, how will we explain?
Jing Po did not answer Jing Li, but shouted loudly: "Clansmen! Soldiers! ”
"The Qin army has broken the city wall, and Shouchun City is in danger."
"Shouchun can fall, but the king must not lose!"
"Jing's robe, follow the general to kill Shouchun Palace, and escort the king out of the city!"
Jing Po stepped on the battlements of the city wall, raised the sword in his hand, and roared angrily at the top of his throat: "Fight to the death for the king!" ”
Before the start of the war, the king of Chu captured the hearts of all Jing's private soldiers with heavy rewards and promises of rewards for his identity and meritorious deeds.
At the current stage, the position of Chu Wang Han in the hearts of Jing's private soldiers can be described as supreme!
So Jing Po's words completely entered the hearts of the private soldiers.
What if Shouchun City has fallen?
Anyway, it has only been four years since Shouchun City was designated as the national capital, and it is not distressing to change it at all.
But such a good king is the only one in hundreds of years.
Such a great king, there must be no loss.
Otherwise, who will deliver on the pre-war promises?
Who will pull them to turn over?
More than 10,000 Jing private soldiers shouted in unison: "Fight to the death for the king!" ”
There is no need for the generals to rush.
All the Jing private soldiers ran down the city wall as fast as they could, and rushed in the direction of Shouchun Palace.
Looking at the high-spirited private soldiers, Jing Li's face was not good-looking: "A group of ungrateful untouchables! ”
"If the king really honors the reward before the war, how can these Li people be willing to be exploited by us in the future?"
"The king is moving the roots of my Jing clan, and even more so the roots of all the nobles!"
Jing Po jumped off the battlement of the city wall and said lightly: "Now is not the time to think about this. ”
"Let's go, go back to Shouchun Palace!"
While speaking, Jing Po turned over and got on his horse, rode his horse into the city along the road to the city, and galloped in the direction of Shouchun Palace.
Looking at the Jing private soldiers who ran towards the city, Li Yuanren was numb, and even the voice of scolding was quite weak: "Rebels, they are all rebels!" ”
"It is because of these rebels that my Great Chu is trapped between the southern mountains and cannot take the Central Plains in the north!"
With Jing's 'return' to Shouchun Palace, the defenders of the eastern, western, and northern walls of Shouchun City plummeted by more than half.
Now the number of troops that can be mobilized by Li Yuan is less than 8,000!
With the city wall lost, Li Yuan didn't know how to resist the 60,000 Qin army with 8,000 soldiers and horses!
Li Yuan could only give an unwilling order: "Order the county soldiers to resist the Qin army in the streets and alleys of Shouchun City." ”
"Order the main army, guards and other departments to retreat to Shouchun Palace!"
After the words fell, Li Yuan also rode his horse down to the city and led the remnants of the army to gallop towards the city.
The city wall system of Shouchun City was completely lost.
Wang Bo quickly led his troops to step on the north city wall along the gap in the east city wall, and then opened the north city gate!
Meng Nan and Xifeng, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately rode their horses into the northern city.
"Boss!"
Seeing a big picture from a distance, Meng Nan shouted loudly: "Where is the boss?!" ”
A figure laughed loudly: "Captain Meng? Ben will finally see reinforcements! ”
At this moment, Ying Chengcheng and the soldiers under his command no longer look the same.
The iconic red-striped general armor on a black background had long been completely covered with blood, and his handsome face was also stained with blood.
It wasn't until he heard Ying Chengchan's voice that Meng Nan finally identified who Ying Cheng Chan was, and immediately shouted: "Let the horse be the commander!" ”
More than 100 knights immediately dismounted and gave up their horses.
Ying Chengcheng was not polite, turned over directly on the horse, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order!" ”
"The Mengnan Department replaced the Sujiao Department and served as the vanguard."
"Xifeng's department, drive into battle!"
Xi Feng excitedly arched his hand: "Only! ”
"Column Arrows, Charge!"
……
Two quarters of an hour later, Shouchun Palace.
On the palace wall, Chu Wanghan's face was very ugly: "This is the reason why the Jing clan abandoned the city and fled?!" ”
Jing said sincerely: "Your Majesty, this cannot be called a reason, but a reason!" ”
"The king gave all the Li people the opportunity to be promoted, and I, the Jing family's private soldiers, felt five feelings to the king."
"After the city was broken, the Jing family's private soldiers wanted to return to Shouchun Palace, but the general couldn't control it at all, and he couldn't stop the kindness of the soldiers."
"That's why the last general decided to lead the army back to Shouchun Palace to protect the king from Shouchun City!"
The King of Chu asked coldly: "In this way, this is a widow, isn't it?" ”
Jing Po sincerely bowed his hand in fear: "Please don't say that, Your Majesty." ”
"It was the Jing family's private soldiers who were too loyal and patriotic, and it was also the incompetence of the last general who could not control the soldiers, which caused this situation."
The King of Chu shouted angrily: "Don't think that the widow doesn't know what you think!" ”
Jing Po wanted to explain, but Jing Chou stretched out his hand to stop Chu Wanghan, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the king, my Jing family is patriotic and loyal to the private soldiers, what else do I think?" ”
"What the hell is wrong with what we are doing?"
Li Yuan, who hurriedly returned, replied loudly: "The mistake is not to obey the order!" ”
"Ben ordered you to wait to defend the city, why did you wait to withdraw the army!"
Jing Po said in confusion: "The last general has never heard the general's order!" ”
Li Yuan scolded angrily: "How dare you deceive the king! ”
Jing Chou said seriously: "Li Lingyin, my Jing clan respects Shangguan, but Li Lingyin can't slander my Jing clan at will." ”
"Li Lingyin said that our army was disobedient, where is the evidence?"
Li Yuan was speechless.
Evidence?
The heralds have all been killed, and there is no evidence!
Li Yuan had no choice but to change the direction of the attack: "The Jing clan's withdrawal is because of the intention to return to Shouchun Palace. ”
"What about the Zhao Clan?"
Zhao Cen said helplessly: "My Zhao family's private soldiers are all in the Shangzhu National Army, and the additional soldiers sent in this battle are all the servants of Weichen. ”
"They have never experienced a battle formation, and they only know what they should do by commanding their generals."
"However, my Zhao Clan Captain was seriously injured when he rushed into battle, and he is still unconscious."
"The Zhao family servants didn't know what to do, so they roared and withdrew."
"This minister's loss is also."
Li Yuan laughed angrily: "Such a clumsy statement, do you believe it yourself!" ”
Zhao Cen was reluctant to answer.
The monarchs and magnates of the Chu State had already used blood and death to test the rules and unspoken rules in hundreds of years of fighting.
If the rules are crossed, even the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans will be like the former wěi clan, and only three or two kittens will be killed from one of the four major clans.
But as long as you do things within the rules, even if you poison the King of Chu, it won't be a problem!
So it doesn't matter at all whether you believe it or not.
As long as what Zhao does is still within the rules, Zhao is safe.
Li Yuan still wanted to scold, but Chu Wang Han suddenly spoke: "Now that the enemy is now, you Aiqing are still arguing, what kind of system will it become!" ”
"Zhao Aiqing, Jing Aiqing, the widow would rather die than leave Shouchun Palace."
"Are the two Aiqing willing to defend the Shouchun Palace for the widow?"
Jing Chou and Zhao Cen were slightly stunned, and then their faces were ugly: "I am willing to fight to the death for the king!" ”
With such a clear escort order, Jing Chou and Zhao Cen couldn't refuse, and there was no reason to refuse.
Jing Chou and Zhao Cen couldn't sit idly by and watch the king of Chu being killed by Qin Junming and remain indifferent.
That's the rule, too!
The king of Chu bowed slightly: "So, very good!" ”
Striding forward, the king of Chu walked to the female wall and looked at the Qin army rushing from afar.
The chariot of the Qin army was parked in front of the Shouchun Palace for 200 zhang and split a passage.
Ying Cheng, who was covered in blood, led a hundred soldiers along this passage to a stone's throw outside Shouchun Palace.
With a bow, Ying Cheng shouted loudly: "Qin Chang'anjun, Gongzi Cheng Chan, meet the King of Chu!" ”
shook off the sticky blood on his hands, and wiped the blood off his face with his hands, Ying Chengcheng's face was finally revealed in front of King Chu's eyes.
With a sunny smile, Ying Chengcheng smiled: "It's not easy to see the King of Chu!" ”
