I’m The King

Chapter 685: Why is it too anxious to fry with the same root (7)

Under Nanzhang city, the battle has entered a fierce battle. The standing army of the Zhao State under Li Mingjun’s command is finally a few higher grades than the soldiers of the prefectures and counties. Although there are only 6,000 soldiers and horses, they still rule Qin Lei. Ten thousand generations of prefecture soldiers were forced to fall back. In a fierce battle, the battle had been pushed back from the front of the Zhao Jun camp all the way back to the city of Nanzhang.

Zhao Jun has divided the Daijunjun soldiers into three separate parts. The three battlefields have a great advantage. If it were not for the Daijunjunjun soldiers to obtain a large number of weapons for the East Army, I am afraid they have already insisted Can't help it.

Qin Lei led about three thousand people, stubbornly guarding the road leading to the city gate, and seeing Zhao Jun pounce on his camp like a wave of anger, every time he hits, his lineup will shrink by a circle, and he can't help it. In a hurry, what about conquering the Eastern Army? Where are the contracted East Army cavalry?

Qin Lei was struggling to support, and Li Mingjun was not at all difficult at this time. The tenaciousness of the county soldiers greatly exceeded his expectations. Until now, not only did they not collapse, but they became more and more tenacious. Like a stone, after the big waves washed away the aerosol outside, the elite inside finally emerged and behaved as hard as iron.

He originally planned to use Zhao Jun’s powerful offensive power to defeat Daijun’s soldiers with an upside-down bead curtain and then take advantage of the situation to seize the city gate, but the battle has now become a stalemate. The army has the upper hand, but if you want to completely defeat the opponent, it is not something that can be accomplished in a moment.

Qin Lei had retreated to the city, but he did not mean to retreat to the city. Even though he deliberately slowed down the offensive and gave him a chance to retreat into the city, he still couldn't get out of the battle, which made Li Mingjun's heart more and more chilled. Seriously, Qin Lei seemed to be waiting for something.

But what is he waiting for? He has no reinforcements to wait.

Li Mingjun was puzzled. The two outgoing armies have not come back for a long time to join the war. If the two armies can rush back in time, this battle can be over.

What are Wu Quan and Qiao Lei doing? He was extremely angry.

"General Li, there is news from General Qiao Lei." A soldier ran up to him, behind him, a guy dressed up as a commoner followed closely.

"Aren't you Qiao Dezhi, the personal guard next to Qiao Lei? Why did you come back alone? What about your general?" Li Mingjun has a very good memory. Although he only saw this Qiao Dezhi a few times, he still recognized it at a glance. other side.

"General Li, my general will not be able to make it for a while." Qiao Dezhi whispered.

Li Mingjun's expression turned gloomy in an instant, "What is he doing? Does he treat military orders like a child's play? Or think that my knife can't kill anyone?"

"It's not that it's not shaking!" Qiao Dezhi's face was panicked, and his hands shook violently. "After my general got the order of General Li, he rushed all the way, but in Shazhen, thirty miles away from Nanzhang, he was caught by countless people. Surrounded, unable to advance or retreat, General Qiao Lei said that he was righteous and talked dryly, but these people refused to retreat."

Li Mingjun was furious: "Is the army in Qiao Lei's hand able to eat? Can't even deal with a group of people?"

Qiao Dezhi looked embarrassed, "Where does my general dare to do it? General Zhao Shang is still in the dead camp. I don't know whether General Qiao dares to attack the people. Looking back, how can General Zhao let it go easily? Let's talk about it. There are old and weak women and children standing in front of the army. Where can the soldiers go?"

Hearing this, Li Mingjun was stunned. He never thought that Zhao Qi would plant a curse for him today in order to clean up Zhao Shang. Qiao Lei did not dare to kill the people, because he was afraid of planting evil for himself, but he I have never thought that if the military plane is lost, the military law will not spare him as much?

Since Qiao Lei was stopped like this, what about Wu Quan? Could it be that Wu Quan was also stopped by the same means? But Wu Quan is different from Qiao Lei. Wu Quan is a general in the line of Lord Zhao Qi. Naturally, he will not have this kind of worry. Why has he not rushed back now?

Li Mingjun faintly felt something bad in his heart. The two troops who went out were unable to rush back to join the war in time. Is this a coincidence, or was it a deliberate act?

He clenched his fists tightly, Li Mingjun's heart was already retreat. Today's battle is a bit strange. Qin Lei went uncharacteristically and took the initiative to attack. The two troops sent by Qi Qi could not return aid, and Qin Lei was facing this. In such a dilemma, he couldn't retreat, and everything was too abnormal.

Turning his head and looking at the battlefield situation, the advantage of our army is too obvious. The opponent has been pressed to the root of the city wall, and the formation is extremely flat. A breakthrough will be formed. Only one breakthrough will be formed. It will collapse across the board, is it possible to give up like this?

He is really unwilling.

"General, look!" The guard next to him suddenly cried, his voice trembling.

Li Mingjun turned his head, under the night, the mountains and plains of torches were slowly moving towards Nanzhang city from a distance, looking at the number of torches, I was afraid that there would not be tens of thousands.

Li Mingjun's heart is shocked, Nanzhang, really has reinforcements?

Horse hooves slammed, and several sentry riders rushed from different directions.

"Who are there and how many are there?" Li Mingjun asked anxiously.

"The general, not the army, but the common people, countless common people, men and women, young and old." Sentinel also paled.

"People?" Li Mingjun was angry and anxious.

"They all carry weapons, sticks, hoes, cocktails, kitchen knives, guillotines, and some even hold stones. General, what shall we do?" The sentry rider was also a little anxious.

Li Mingjun turned his head bitterly and looked at Qin Lei, who was still fighting forever, "Old Pifu Qin, is this the reinforcement you are waiting for?" Although he said that Qiao Lei did not dare to send troops to suppress these people, things fell. When he reached his head, Li Mingjun did not dare to drop the butcher knife. As Qiao Lei said, Zhao Shang’s example is in front of him. Maybe Zhao Qi’s knife won’t fall on him now, but he really did it. It's a matter of fact, this is a great handle on oneself. In the future, political opponents want to clean up themselves. This is the best attack weapon.

The crime of slaughtering tens of thousands of people is not something that everyone can afford. After the situation has passed, who can remember the process of today’s battle, the people in the court, within Zhao Guozhi, will only remember Li Mingjun and Li who raised the butcher knife. , Killed tens of thousands of unarmed people.

"Withdraw!" From his mouth, he spit out two words with difficulty.

The golden gong of withdrawing troops resounded across the battlefield. Hearing this sound, Qin Lei finally let out a long sigh, "Entrap them and counterattack!" He screamed, "Counter-attack across the board, don't let them leave easily."

It is easy to attack, but it is not easy to escape easily, especially now, strangling in a ball on the battlefield, you have me in you, I have you in me, and you want to retreat smoothly and properly. easy. What's more, hearing the sound of Zhao Junmingjin’s retreat, the soldiers of Daijun County immediately boosted their morale, and seeing the flames of the mountains and plains coming towards this side, they multiplied their courage even more when they thought that reinforcements had arrived. Amidst the loud shouts, even on all fronts, a full-line counterattack began.

Zhao Jun's stable front began to become chaotic, and disorder began to spread from point to surface.

The infantry led his more than a thousand cavalry soldiers, seizing this opportunity tightly and cutting into the battlefield with lightning speed. The chaotic battlefield gave the cavalry too much free space, galloping horses, flying sabers, and feathers. Arrows are like locusts, turning the already chaotic battlefield into a pot of porridge. Bai Yucheng assembled his 500 special brigade soldiers and joined the battlefield. These 500 people have now put on the military uniforms of Zhengdong Kingdom. , Like a sharp blade, cut open the still-complete Li Mingjun Army like a broken bamboo, and slew all the way to the flying flag of the Chinese Army.

Li Mingjun finally understood what Qin Lei was waiting for. They did have reinforcements, and they were the elite of the Eastern Army. He looked at the chaotic battlefield, and the army that had completely separated from his command was being moved by the Eastern Army and Daijun. The soldiers strangled together, and his heart was ashamed. In this battle, he was already helpless.

Slowly lifting his spear, he rushed straight to the soldier of the Eastern Army who was clearly aiming at him all the way.

Bai Yucheng rushed to Li Mingjun fiercely, slashing the generals, this is a rare honor, he has not tasted this kind of taste in a few years, how can he let it go at this time, the big knife slashed left and right, and abruptly smashed out one. The **** road rushed in front of Li Mingjun.Li Mingjun rode on the horse, condescending, and struck Bai Yucheng with a vicious shot. Bai Yucheng let out a hey, and slammed his side in the middle of the long spear with a big knife. Dragging it horizontally, with two clicks, the knife has already cut off the front hoof of the horse. Li Mingjun fell to the horse with an upside down, Baiyu Cheng laughed, and greeted him with a knife, but it was cold, but an arrow flew in the distance, Shang Li Mingjun, who had not completely fallen off the horse, was hit by the arrow on his forehead, turned upside down and fell on the ground, where his life is still alive. Bai Yucheng saw that the cooked duck actually grew wings and flew away, and couldn't help being furious. Huo Di turned his head, but saw the infantry not far away waving the longbow in his hand at him, and he was even more angry.

"Infantry, I'm never ending with you!" he roared with his sword dancing.

In the first battle of Nanzhang, Li Mingjun almost destroyed his army, and only Qiao Lei, who was stopped, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately led his army to Xiling to join Zhao Qi, and Hu Liang, who maintained the food road, did not react as quickly as he did. After being assembled by the cavalry by the infantry, they smashed them all the way. The five thousand officers and soldiers who protected the food were not even able to gather together, and they were annihilated in batches on the road. And Tan Chunhua, who was attacking Jianli, heard that the next battle in Nanzhang City was Li Mingjun. After the entire army was destroyed and ended, he was shocked and immediately led the army that was besieging Jianli to retreat.At this time, with heavy casualties in Jianli, he was only left with more than three thousand soldiers.Where did he dare to fight with Daijun County soldiers.

In an instant, the general trend of the battlefield immediately changed positions, and Zhao Qi's 30,000 army was cut off from the back and became a lone army under Xiling City.
