Chapter 22: Parting Song & Lamentation
Licha, Ling Feng and the others on the bed fell into a deep sleep, this raid battle, although the survivors retained their lives in the battle, but the fatigue and soreness of the body made them almost in a state of paralysis, not to mention the ordinary rebels, even the Licha, Ling Feng and other people with some skills could not bear to sleep for two days, even if it was a cloudy day, they rested for a whole day before recovering their state.
"It always feels a little strange that Pingcheng is so close to the royal capital, but I didn't expect it to be taken by us so 'easily'. Uncle Chen said with a little confusion.
Zhao Jian: "It may be that we attacked on the same three fronts with the friendly forces of Fengqiu and Jinshui, which brought huge pressure to the Wang army." Besides, now that I've received good news from friendly forces, there shouldn't be any problems. It was not easy for us to defeat this time, and the sacrifices we paid were also quite heavy, they had been asleep for two days, and the corpses all over the city could imagine how tragic the battle was at that time, and there was Yuntian, a ghost boy as the trump card, maybe Uncle Chen, you were a little worried. ”
"I hope so! Zhou Tao, are our food reserves still sufficient?
Zhou Tao: "The food is quite sufficient, and the next batch of supplies will be delivered in a few days." Huang Wei and Tie Yan and I went to check on the factory, the mechanical giant soldiers have been transported away, it seems that Wang Jun is also on guard, the battle of Pingcheng Wang Jun did not choose to use the giant soldiers to fight us to the death, do you want to compete with us? However, we found this thing in the warehouse and in the mine. ”
"Is this smell a medicine? Unexpectedly, Wang Jun is producing and using these contraband. ”
"It should be that the Wang army was attacked by surprise and stayed before it was too late to take it away. ”
"Since there is a medicine, it is still unknown whether Wang Jun will use it on the battlefield, so we need to be more careful. ”
"Hmm... Well... Hmm..."
"What should we do next, the friendly forces of Fengqiu and Jinshui asked, saying that they were waiting to act with us, and let us inform them as soon as possible by discussing the strategy. ”
"We've just been through the battle with our allies, and they haven't recovered yet, so I want to wait a little longer. ”
"How long will we have to wait, and how will we get back to our allies?"
Chen Bo pondered for a moment: "How long will it take for the next batch of grain and grass to arrive?"
"About four or five days. ”
"Well, Zhou Tao, you reply to the friendly forces of Fengqiu and Jinshui, and make an appointment to attack the royal capital together in five days. And remind the friendly troops to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the surprise attack of the royal army. ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away. ”
"Brother, you're finally awake. Liqing sat on the edge of the bed full of worry, and now he finally showed a smile, and Lige smiled happily when he saw his brother wake up.
"Ah~~~"
"What's wrong? brother!"
"It's okay, it's just that my body has been lying down for a long time, and I am a little sore and numb. What happened to Yuntian and the others. ”
"Don't worry, brother, everyone else is also recuperating, Brother Yuntian can walk around two days ago, and it seems that there is no problem at all. ”
"That's good. ”
"You've been asleep for three days, come, hurry up and eat something! I just brought it over, and it's still lukewarm, just right for your mouth. ”
"I'll do it myself. Licha took the bowl and chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.
Li Qing walked to the back camp with an empty rice bowl, and happened to meet Yuntian walking between the tents.
"Alas, Yuntian, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, it's Sister Liqing, it's nothing, it's just that I'm a little tired from staying in the camp, so I'll come out and walk around. ”
"How is your recovery, I have been a little busy taking care of the wounded soldiers in the past two days, and I haven't had time to see if you are okay. ”
"I'm fine, nothing is wrong. ”
"You're in such good health, you're recovering so quickly, look at how long my brother has been asleep. Hey, by the way, my brother woke up just now, you go and see him, I still have some things to do, so I won't chat with you. ”
"Well, okay, you go get busy, I'll go over and see Brother Licha now. ”
Yuntian walked outside Licha's tent and saw Lige staying outside, playing and playing with a few birds.
"Lige, it's been a long time, have you not listened to your sister in the barracks and run around. ”
"No, I listen to my sister and never run around. ”
"Why don't you stay outside and don't sit inside, didn't Brother Licha wake up?"
"Well, my brother woke up, but there were a lot of people inside, so I came out to play. ”
"Oh, would you like to go in with me?"
"It's all talking, some noisy, some crowded. I'm still out playing!" Lige shook his head.
"Alright then, I'll go in on my own. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
"Oh, the clouds are coming. ”
"Brother Licha, how do you feel when you wake up. ”
"It's okay anymore, it's worrying you. ”
Zhao Jian, Zhou Tao, Huang Wei, and Sun Jinyi are also there.
Zhao Jian: "It just so happens that Yuntian is here, and I will tell you something." Today, Uncle Chen, we have discussed with the friendly forces of Fengqiu and Jinshui, and agreed to attack the royal capital together in five days. ”
When Yuntian heard this, his eyes became even more tenacious, and it was finally time to avenge his parents, sister, and clansmen.
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed, Licha, Ling Feng, Luo Chuan, and Zhu Wen have all made up for their state, and they are even more energetic, and it will be the last battle soon, and everyone is full of energy.
Yesterday, Fengqiu and Jinshui came to Feixin again, informing them that they would set off together at the dawn of tomorrow (six o'clock in the morning) and pointed directly to the royal capital.
The genius was faintly bright, and the rebels were as majestic as hungry wolves marching towards the royal capital, and today's sky was a little gray and gloomy, as if telling that something bad was about to happen.
It's not time (two o'clock in the afternoon), and you can see the majestic royal capital in the distance, and the high-rise building that reaches into the sky and shines with a cold light is the royal palace!
The phalanx of the Wang army has been neatly standing outside the royal city, waiting for the arrival of the righteous army, the two sides are slowly getting closer, the battle of the Wang army has been clearly visible, looking at the vast number of people, it is estimated that there are almost a dozen or two hundred thousand people, or more, fifty mechanical giants stand in front of the battle, like an impassable city wall, as if loudly announcing that those who dare to invade must die.
Why are there so many royal troops and giant soldiers at the south gate of the royal capital, don't the east gate and the west gate need to be guarded, is it because Yuntian is here, or is it ...... Don't you dare to think about it any longer, do you want to flee from the battle now? No, if you go back on what you agreed with your allies, won't you put them to death in vain? Even if you are defeated, at least delay the enemy's time and create a chance for friendly forces to attack the city.
The distance between the two sides is only about a kilometer.
On the city wall, the third holy general, Tiger General-Jing Yin, raised his arm and waved it to the front with great momentum, a soldier waved the big flag beside him, and the sound of the horn also sounded at this moment. There was also movement in the array of the royal army, and a large number of armored cavalry slapped their horses and rushed towards the rebels with great momentum. Although the rebel army has only seventy or eighty thousand people, less than twenty giant soldiers, but they have already come here, how can they throw off their armor and flee, since the enemy has moved, of course, the rebel army can not sit still, the rebel army on horseback is not afraid at all, like an arrow from the string, charging forward, in an instant the two sides are like needles and wheat mangs pierced together, the curtain of the decisive battle opened.
In the palace, the king is sitting comfortably on the king's couch, rich food, delicious fruits, sweet wine are piled up on the long table, several dancing girls are graceful, twisting beautiful figures, performing gorgeous songs and dances, wizards are standing aside, fiddling with magical crystals, and the crystals are "broadcasting" the situation on the battlefield.
In the camp of the rebels, Liqing and Lige are praying for their brothers and the rebels to return safely. A flock of birds hurriedly flew overhead, chirping, disturbing the two who were praying, Lige raised his head, looking at the flock of birds that were rushing together from all directions, his expression suddenly became nervous and anxious, flustered and overwhelmed, so he had to pull Liqing, got up to leave, and said: "Oh no, no, Brother Yuntian and Brother Yuntian are in danger." Let's go and save them. ”
Liqing was confused, but seeing that Lige was so nervous, he still got up quickly and asked as he walked. After knowing the cause and effect, he also became nervous, hurriedly found a war horse, and regardless of other people's inquiries and obstacles, the two of them rode on the horse and galloped forward.
The battle lasted for nearly an hour, except for a small number of men and horses, almost all of the rebels had already participated in the battle, and the Wang army was not in a hurry, only dispatched two phalanxes (for the time being, it will be listed as one or two phalanxes, a total of four phalanxes) and twenty giant soldiers, as if everything was under control, and the rebels would be annihilated today. Even so, Wang Jun still does not fall behind, I have to say that these are the main force and elite, and they are very different from the Wang Jun they met before.
A fast horse galloped on the flat road, the dust in front of it was flying, the sand and dust rolled up seemed to cover the sky, and the shouting and killing were gradually heard clearly, yes, it was ahead, and Liqing and Lige moved forward quickly, and finally arrived at the battlefield.
"Why are you two here, this is a battlefield, not a place where you should come!" Uncle Chen asked puzzled when he saw the two of them panting.
"Uncle Chen, we have been tricked, let's retreat!" Li Qing calmed down and hurriedly said.
"Something happened. Uncle Chen had already sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
"The friendly forces of Fengqiu and Jinshui have been defeated by the Wang army and will not come to help us. ”
"What!!" Uncle Chen was shocked, but now that he is on the battlefield and as a commander, he must first calm down: "How did you know about this." ”
"Lige, you hurry up and explain it to Uncle Chen. ”
"Uncle Chen, my sister and I have been praying for everyone since you set off, about an hour ago a flock of birds hurried over our heads, making a mournful chirping, I can understand their chirping, and I also know from their 'language': the friendly forces of Fengqiu and Jinshui were suddenly attacked by the elite of the Wang army and a large number of mechanical giants yesterday, and fled in rout, I am afraid they will not come to help us. ”
"You listen to what the birds say, this is too ridiculous!" Chen Bo couldn't believe it for a while when he heard this.
"Uncle Chen, what I said is true, I didn't lie to you. Seeing that Uncle Chen didn't believe in himself, he burst into tears when he left the song.
Although it sounds a little ridiculous, and Uncle Chen is also skeptical, there is indeed something wrong with today's situation. Wang Jun waited in line early, and laid down so many men and horses and huge soldiers at the south gate, and it seemed that the battle situation was also under control, and it was indeed not like the countermeasures and pressure taken by the righteous army in the third-line attack, and the response was so calm.
Although he still couldn't believe what Lige said, the current situation was really not good, so he decisively ordered a "retreat".
The horn of retreat sounded, and although the rebels were not at a disadvantage in the situation, they still obeyed the command and retreated one after another. Could it be that today's engagement ended like this, of course, that is impossible.
The third holy general, the tiger general, also saw the intention of the rebel army, and decisively ordered the three or four phalanxes and the giant soldiers who had not participated in the battle to pursue, they were very physical and energetic, compared to the rebel army that had been fighting fiercely for a long time, it was a bit unstoppable.
Although the rebels retreated very resolutely and quickly, they were still entangled by the pursuing Wang army, and were slowly overtaken and surrounded, and the righteous army, which had huge physical exertion, was now a little difficult to resist the Wang army's rush and fell to the ground. This scene also reminded Yun Tian of the indelible pain in the past, could it be that he would also be exterminated here this time?
