I’m The King Chapter 685: : Why is it too urgent to fry with the same root (7)

Chapter six hundred and eighty-five: Why is it too urgent to fry the same root (7)

Under the city of Nanzhang, the battle has reached a fever pitch. The standing army of the State of Zhao under the command of Li Mingjun is finally several grades higher than the soldiers of Daijun. The 10,000 generations of soldiers under Qin Lei's command were forced to turn back and fought fiercely all day. The battle had already started from the front of Zhao Jun's camp and all the way back to the city of Nanzhang.

Zhao Jun has divided the Daijun and Junbing into three parts that are not under each other. The three battlefields have great advantages. I can't hold on anymore.

Qin Lei led about 3,000 people, guarding the road leading to the city gate, seeing Zhao Jun rushing towards his camp like a raging tide, every time he pounced, his lineup would shrink by a circle , I couldn't help feeling anxious, what about the Eastern Army? Where are the cavalrymen of the East Army that we agreed on?

Qin Lei is struggling to support, but Li Mingjun is also having a hard time at this time. The tenacity of Daijun soldiers is far beyond his expectations. Tenacious, just like a stone, after the big waves washed away the outer layer of aerosol, the inner elite finally revealed and behaved as hard as iron.

He originally planned to use Zhao Jun's powerful attack power to defeat the Daijun soldiers with the momentum of rolling up the bead curtain and then take advantage of the situation to seize the city gate, but until now, the battle has completely become a stalemate , although one's own army has the upper hand, but wanting to completely defeat the opponent is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Qin Lei has already retreated to the city, but he has no intention of retreating into the city. Even though he deliberately slowed down the offensive and gave him a chance to retreat into the city, he still does not want to fight, which makes Li Mingjun feel a chill in his heart. Getting heavier and heavier, Qin Lei seemed to be waiting for something.

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

Li Mingjun was puzzled. The two armies that went out have not come back to participate in the battle. If the two armies can return in time, the battle will be over.

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

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

"Aren't you Qiao Dezhi, Qiao Lei's personal guard? Why did you come back alone? Where's your general?" Li Mingjun has an excellent memory. recognized each other.

"General Li, my general may not be able to make it through for a while." Qiao Dezhi muttered.

Li Mingjun's face darkened in an instant, "What is he doing? Does he treat military orders like a joke? Or does he think my knives can't kill people?"

"It's not shaking!" Qiao Dezhi showed panic, shaking his hands for a while, "After my general received General Li's military order, he rushed all the way, but he was caught in Shazhen, thirty miles away from Nanzhang. Surrounded by countless people, unable to advance or retreat, General Qiao Lei spoke out of righteousness, but these people refused to retreat."

Li Mingjun was furious: "Is the army in Qiao Lei's hands worth nothing? Can't even deal with a group of ordinary people?"

Qiao Dezhi looked distressed, "Where does my general dare to do something? General Zhao Shang is still alive and dead in the death camp. If General Qiao dares to attack the people, in retrospect, how can General Zhao let him go easily? Besides, the people standing in front of the army are all the old and weak, women and children, so how can the soldiers get away with it?"

Hearing this, Li Mingjun was stunned. He never thought that Zhao Qi would plant a disaster for him today in order to punish Zhao Shang. Qiao Lei didn't dare to kill the people, for fear of planting a disaster for himself. , but he never thought that if the military plane is lost, the military law will not spare him?

Since Qiao Lei was stopped like this, what about Wu Quan? Could it be that Wu Quan was stopped by the same means? But Wu Quan is different from Qiao Lei. Wu Quan is a general in Lord Zhao Qi's line, so naturally he wouldn't have such worries. Why hasn't he come back now?

Li Mingjun faintly felt something was wrong. The two armies who went out couldn't come back in time to join the battle. Is this a coincidence, or was it deliberately done?

Clenching his fists tightly, Li Mingjun already had the intention of retreating. Today's battle was a bit strange. Qin Lei went out of his way and took the initiative to attack. In the face of such a predicament, it is too abnormal to fight to the death without retreating.

Turning his head and looking at the situation on the battlefield, his army's advantage is too obvious. At any point, the opponent will collapse across the board. Is it possible to give up like this?

He is really not reconciled.

"General, look!" The guard beside him suddenly called out, his voice trembling.

Li Mingjun turned his head abruptly, under the night, the torches covering the mountains and plains were slowly walking towards the city of Nanzhang from a distance, judging by the number of torches, there might not be tens of thousands of them.

Li Mingjun's heart was shocked, Nanzhang, indeed there are reinforcements?

The hooves of the horses sounded sharply, and several sentinel riders came galloping from different directions.

"Who are all the people here, and how many are there?" Li Mingjun asked anxiously.

"General, it's not the army, it's the common people, countless common people, men, women and children." Sentinel's face was also pale.

"Common people?" Li Mingjun was angry and anxious.

"They all carry weapons, sticks, hoes, forks, kitchen knives, guillotines, and some even hold stones. General, what should we do?"

Li Mingjun turned his head back bitterly, looked at Qin Lei who was still fighting to the death, "Old man Qin, is this the reinforcement you are waiting for?" But when the matter fell on him, Li Mingjun did not dare to lay down the butcher's knife. As Qiao Lei said, Zhao Shang's example is in front of him. Maybe Zhao Qi's knife will not fall on his head now, but he really wants to do it. If you do this kind of thing, this is a great handle on your head. In the future, if your political enemies want to deal with you, this is the best attack weapon.

The crime of massacring tens of thousands of people is not something everyone can afford. After the events have passed, who can remember the course of today's battle? People in the court, Zhao Guo, will only remember Li Mingjun and Li He raised his butcher knife and killed tens of thousands of unarmed civilians.

"Withdraw!" Two words came out with difficulty from his mouth.

The golden gong of withdrawing troops resounded across the battlefield. Hearing this sound, Qin Lei finally let out a long breath, "Hold them and counterattack!" He shouted sharply, "Counterattack across the board, don't let them escape easily."

It is easy to attack, but it is not easy to escape easily, especially now, the battlefield is strangled into a group, you have me, I have you, want to retreat smoothly, That's so easy. What's more, when they heard the gong of Zhao Jun Mingjin's retreat, the morale of the Daijun soldiers was immediately boosted, and when they saw the flames all over the mountains and plains coming towards this side, they thought that the reinforcements had arrived, and they were even more courageous. Amidst the loud shouts, a counterattack was launched across the board on all fronts.

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

The infantry led his more than a thousand cavalry, seized this opportunity tightly, and cut into the battlefield with lightning speed. The chaotic battlefield gave the cavalry too much freedom. Flying like feathers and arrows like locusts, they turned the already chaotic battlefield into a pot of porridge. Bai Yucheng gathered his 500 soldiers from the special brigade and joined the battlefield. These 500 people had already replaced Zhengdong The country's military uniform, like a sharp knife, cut through the still relatively intact Li Mingjun's Chinese army like a bamboo, and killed all the way to the flying Chinese flag.

Li Mingjun finally understands what Qin Lei is waiting for. They do have reinforcements, and they are the elite of the East Army. Daijun and the county soldiers joined forces to strangle him, and his heart was ashamed. In this battle, he was already powerless.

Slowly raising his long spear, he rushed straight at the soldier of Zhengdong Army who was obviously aiming at him all the way. He would die if he died, and he would pull a back when he died.

Bai Yucheng rushed towards Li Mingjun aggressively, and cut the general. This is a rare honor. He hasn't tasted this kind of feeling in several years. Out of a **** road, he rushed in front of Li Mingjun. Li Mingjun rode on the horse, condescending, and shot at Bai Yucheng viciously. , retracting his arms and dragging horizontally, with two clicks, the knife has already cut off the horse's front hooves, Li Mingjun fell headlong from the horse, Bai Yucheng laughed loudly, and slashed down with the knife when he went up, unexpectedly an arrow flew in the distance Come on, Li Mingjun, who has not yet completely fallen off the horse, was hit on the forehead by the arrow, and fell to the ground, where his life was still alive. Seeing that the cooked duck had grown wings and flew away, Bai Yucheng couldn't help but Furious, he turned his head quickly, only to see infantry not far away waving their longbows at him, and was even more furious.

"Infantry, I'm not finished with you!" He brandished a big knife and roared.

In the Battle of Nanzhang, Li Mingjun's entire army was almost wiped out, only Qiao Lei who was stopped was left. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately led his army to Xiling and joined Zhao Qi, while Hu Liang, who was maintaining the grain road, did not respond to him So fast, after the cavalry was gathered by the infantry, they were defeated one by one along the way. The five thousand food guard officers and soldiers were wiped out in batches on the road without even being able to gather together. And Tan Chunhua, who was attacking Jianli, heard that Nanzhang city was under attack. After the battle ended with the annihilation of Li Mingjun's entire army, he was shocked and immediately led the besieging army to retreat. At this time, he had suffered heavy casualties in Jianli, and only 3,000 soldiers remained. Fight.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed immediately, and Zhao Qi's 30,000 army was cut off from the rear, and became a lone army in Xiling City.P
