Chapter 295: I want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light to save us
"Well, what kind of good thing do you say?" Zhao Weiguo asked.
"General Li Heng attaches great importance to you, and hopes that you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and after the matter is completed in the future, high-ranking officials and Houlu will be indispensable to you. Zhang Bo said.
"Hehe, what is light and what is dark? Is it true that following the old king is darkness, and following General Li Heng is bright?" Zhao Weiguo asked.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, if you compare the strength of the two sides, General Li's subordinates are all brave and good soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, while the old king's subordinates are mostly temporary recruits of the rabble. Moreover, General Li Heng now controls Luo Pida's treasury, and money is definitely not a problem, and it naturally costs money to fight, and it costs a lot of money. Zhang Bo said.
"Okay. Let me think about it first. Zhao Weiguo said.
"It's okay to think about it, but it can't be too long, because the army will arrive soon~ As soon as the army arrives, once the attack begins, it will be too late for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Zhang Bo said.
"If we go all out, it is still possible to win, but in order to make the people suffer less, so that the war can end as soon as possible. I've decided to be your answer. Zhao Weiguo said.
"Hehe, brother for the country, now we are in the same boat. Whatever you ask now, just ask. Zhang Bo said.
"I don't have any other requirements for the time being, I just want to give me a sum of money first, so that I can appease my subordinates. Zhao Weiguo said.
"Haha, this little thing, no problem at all. I'll have the gold delivered to you tonight. For the brother of the country, if you can dedicate the head of the old king to General Li Heng, it will be a real great achievement. However, if you can't take the life of the old king directly, as long as you open a city gate at that time. Zhang Bo said.
......
Sure enough, Zhang Bo sent someone to give Zhao Weiguo a lot of gold that night. But Zhao Weiguo did not use the gold to appease his men. Instead, he kept all the gold for himself.
When Li Heng's army attacked the old king, it was overwhelming at first, and soon trapped the old king in a city that served as a base camp.
The old king, that is, Cheng Xihe's father, still has some means, he arranges defense, which is more reasonable, and Li Heng attacked several times without success.
"It seems that the old king and his followers are still underestimated. Li Heng said.
"General Li, Zhang Bo said that he was looking for someone to do the internal response, but there was no movement for a long time. Song Zhengyang said.
"That's it, Zhang Bo, the person you are looking for is not reliable, and the gold is also given, you can't just take the gold and do nothing. Li Heng said.
"General Li, don't worry! The person I am looking for is absolutely reliable in this matter. Because he knew very well in his heart that it would be a matter of time before we defeated the old king. Zhang Bo said.
"Then why didn't he take action for a long time?" Song Zhengyang said.
"General Li, please give him two more days, if he does not take action within two days, I am willing to accept any punishment. Zhang Bo said.
"Okay. If you don't take action within two days, or we have already breached the city before he did. You have to apologize for your sins!" Li Heng said.
......
Song Zhengyang is mainly responsible for attacking the city, and now he is attacking Song Zhengyang and leading people to attack even harder.
"General Song, do you really want me to apologize?" Zhang Bo said.
"General Zhang, where do you start with this?" Song Zhengyang said.
"You're fighting a lot harder now than before. Do you want to break through the city before I can take action? Zhang Bo said.
"Haha, you think too much~" Song Zhengyang said with a smile.
......
Zhao Weiguo originally wanted to kill the old king and make a great contribution, but he couldn't find a good time to do it, Jiang is still old and spicy, and the old king's sense of security is still relatively strong.
"We can't delay any longer, if they don't take action before they break through the city, it will be a waste of water. Zhao Weiguo thought.
So Zhao Weiguo gathered his subordinates to discuss opening a city gate.
But when the old king arranged the task of defending the city, it was all arranged together, which means that now Zhao Weiguo's people have four city gates, and they are not concentrated. Each city gate was defended by several groups of people, for fear that a certain general would turn against him.
Eventually, a strategy was decided. The plan was to secretly set fire to the gate that was to be opened, and when the others saw the smoke, they all ran to the gate to open the gate in the name of putting out the fire.
Not to mention, this ploy really works. Zhao Weiguo successfully opened a city gate. Zhang Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Heng's army entered through the gate that Zhao Weiguo had opened from the inside, they were not able to occupy the entire city at once. Inside there was an unusually fierce street fight.
At this time, Cheng Xihe arrived with the invincible four masters.
"Although the city gate has been lost now, since we are here, we still have to go all out to help Princess Xihe's father. Qin Zehui said.
"Big brother. Got it. We will definitely do our best!" Lu Pengzhang said.
"Thank you, heroes! Xihe is grateful!" Cheng Xihe said.
Everyone quickly joined the fight. Although the old king's side has now increased by five masters, after all, it is a drop in the bucket and the role is limited, and it is very unrealistic to rely on these five manpower to turn the tide.
The battle lasted three days and three nights, and Li Heng's army surrounded Cheng Xihe's father and brother in their temporary palace.
Cheng Xihe and the invincible four masters fought near the temporary palace, but they were never able to enter. Now Cheng Xihe and Lu Pengzhang are injured.
"This time, no matter what, I can't be a prisoner anymore~ I don't know where Xihe is now, how do I feel that she is not far from us~" Cheng Xihe's father said.
"Father, I also feel the same way as you, my sister should have come to save us~" Cheng Xihe's brother said.
"Now, we can't go back. can no longer take Xihe's life~" Cheng Xihe's father said. With that, he drew his sword and killed himself.
"Father, I will still be your son in the next life! Xihe will not be your brother in the next life, because I am an incompetent brother!" Cheng Xihe's brother also left with his father after speaking.
After Cheng Xihe's father and brother committed suicide one after another, some of the few remaining subordinates committed suicide, and some rushed to the enemy with injuries and made the last fight.
......
"It's quiet~ It seems that the battle inside is over. He Liu Yingyue said.
"Then let's withdraw. Qin Zehui said.
Now Li Heng's subordinates are still surrounding Cheng Xihe and them to attack.
Due to the fact that the previous battle was very fierce. Although Li Heng's side won, it can only be said to be a pyrrhic victory.
The soldiers and generals surrounding Cheng Xihe were also very tired. It's exhausting though. But after all, there is an absolute advantage in numbers. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Cheng Xihe and the invincible four masters to break through.
Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
