Chapter 249: Attacking the City

In the past two months, a battle with the Zhuxian Sword Formation took place in Xiqi. The whole Three Realms trembled, and the imperial court was not idle either. Zhang Kui killed hundreds of thousands of Dongyi troops in one battle and abandoned their helmets and armor, and captured Dong Bo alive.

Hou Jiang Wenhuan and Yin Hong asked him to quickly send troops to northern Xinjiang and capture the two cities of Jizhou and Chongcheng.

Yin Hong had long wanted to move the Su Hu and Chong Heihu princes, but he had just inherited the throne and was troubled by many things. Now he would have his hands free, and naturally he would take action against those princes who had different intentions.

Zhang Kui personally led an army of 100,000 people, marched all the way through starry night, arrived in northern Xinjiang, and then rushed to Jizhou without stopping. After more than ten days of traveling, they finally reached the city.

However, Su Hu had a man like Zheng Lun who was proficient in magic. In the first battle, Zhang Kui defeated two generals. The next day, he himself was captured by Zheng Lun's nose orifice magical power.

However, when Zheng Lun brought Zhang Kui to Su Hu and asked him to make a decision, Zhang Kui used earth magic to escape.

Knowing Zheng Lun's ability, Zhang Kui rested for a day, knocked on the pass again, and used earth magic to kill Zheng Lun.

After Zheng Lun's death, no one in Jizhou was a match for Zhang Kui. Su Hu personally defended the city and boosted morale, but facing a veteran like Zhang Kui, everything was in vain.

In the end, the city of Jizhou was defeated. Su Hu knew that he would be tortured if he was escorted to Chaoge, so he jumped and ended his life.

Su Quanzhong led his soldiers to make a final struggle, but was overwhelmed by the elite merchants. He was hit by dozens of arrows and fell to the ground dead.

This battle shocked the entire northern border and made the princes panic, including Bei Bohou Chong Heihu.

Chong Heihu was able to take over Chong Heihu's territory so quickly because of the great efforts of several sworn brothers.

Zhang Kui sneered and said: "Chong Heihu, you know what you have done. It is only natural that the king sends his generals to attack you. Besides, your position as Beibeihou was obtained improperly, and everyone in the world knows that you can't take it."

It took two lives for brother and nephew to get everything we have today!"

Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief. The merchant army was too strong. They rushed forward one by one as if they were desperate. Fortunately, they were defending the city. If the two sides had fought a decisive battle under the city, if one of them was not good, he would be defeated by the merchant army.

In the attack on Jizhou, Zhang Kui lost more than 10,000 troops. However, the troops he recruited from Jizhou City increased in number to hundreds of thousands. He left tens of thousands of people to defend Jizhou. This time he attacked Chongcheng with only 10,000 troops.

Thousands of elites.

"Master Hou, the merchant army has retreated."

The two armies soon engaged in battle, with thunderous killing sounds and a roar of people.

Cui Yingdao: "The Marquis is wise."

Who would have expected that in just a few days, Zhang Kui would capture Jizhou and Su Hu and his son would die. This was completely beyond Chong Heihu's expectation.

Chong Heihu walked to the city wall and saw the merchant army exuding strong murderous intent. His expression changed and he said to Zhang Kui: "Zhang Kui, since I became Beibeihou, I have always respected the king and paid tribute every year.

I thought that in exchange for the king's consideration, I would instead receive troops on the city. By doing this, the king is not afraid of chilling the hearts of all the princes in the world."

Zhang Kui raised the sword at his waist and drew it forward. A hundred thousand troops rushed towards Chongcheng like a huge flood.

"Set me an arrow."

Chong Heihu said: "It's just a temporary retreat."

…

Chong Heihu said: "Zhang Kui has the power of victory and the morale of his troops is like a rainbow. It is not good for us to go out of the city to fight with him. It is better to use Chongcheng to consume his morale and then find an opportunity to defeat him."

Chong Heihu also knew the truth of "dead lips and cold teeth", but since Su Hu had Chen Qi under his command, he still had great confidence in Su Hu's ability to defend Jizhou, so he did not send troops to assist.

On the top of the city, under the personal command of Chong Heihu, they repelled the merchant troops who had attacked several times, but Chongbing paid a lot of price for this. After all, Zhang Kui brought elites and experienced several battles.

All of them survived from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

After attacking for two hours, the morale of the merchant army continued unabated, and everyone dreamed of capturing Chongcheng and achieving great success.

Chong Heihu looked solemn. This battle was related to his life and fortune. If he won, he would still be Beibeihou, and the two hundred princes in northern Xinjiang would follow him. If he lost, everything would be in vain.

I thought that after the Great Shang defeated Jiang Wenhuan, they would wait for a few years before dealing with princes like themselves, but who would have expected that Yin Hong was so impatient. In just over a month, 100,000 merchant troops entered northern Xinjiang.

As for the Chong soldiers, they have not been on the battlefield for more than ten years. Although they often practice training, their quality and morale are far inferior to those of the Shang army.

Jiang Wenhuan and Su Hu, these two famous figures were defeated by Zhang Kui. Chong Heihu knew that this person was powerful and had been observing him just now, but his mind was deep and there was no change in his face.

"Informing the Marquis, Zhang Kui led a large army and rushed towards Chongcheng."

Chong Heihu shouted: "Zhang Kui, you don't need to say more, you are capable of attacking the city."

Chong Heihu said: "My brother Chonghou Hu, as the Northern Prince, did not treat the people well at home, but oppressed and exploited them, which made the people under his rule complain. Externally, his relationship with the princes was tense, and the princes did not obey him.

, how can someone like him continue to be the Northern Bohou? What I did was just to comply with the people's sentiments and kill relatives for justice."

One hundred thousand troops came to the city, with banners covering the sky and the sun. The high morale frightened the soldiers guarding the city.

Chong Heihu has several cousins ​​who are also his generals. They are all highly skilled in martial arts. Even though they are mortals, they can fight for dozens of rounds against a Qi practitioner like him.

Chong Heihu gave an order, and the archers fired arrows together. For a moment, the sky was filled with arrows, and many merchant soldiers fell to the ground. However, the surviving merchant soldiers ran towards the city with a roar.

After another hour, Zhang Kui ordered the troops to retreat. After all, the merchant army suffered many casualties and could not capture the city during the day.

Zhang Kui said: "No matter how righteous you say, it can't change the fact that you betrayed your brother in exchange for wealth."

Cui Ying cupped his hands and said: "Master Marquis, should we send troops to resist the enemy, or should we defend with a fortified city."

However, Zhang Kui is confident that as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can give Chong Heihu a fatal blow.

At first, Chong Heihu kidnapped Chonghou Hu and his son and sent them to the Zhou camp, where they were beheaded. However, Chonghou Hu had been the Northern Bohou for many years. Although he tortured the people and enjoyed himself wantonly, there were still many people loyal to him.

confidant.

Chong Heihu said in a deep voice: "I have expected this a long time ago."

Zhang Kuizong stepped forward with the one-horned black smoke beast and said to the city: "Chong Heihu, come out and see it quickly."

Zhang Kui knew that Chong Heihu was a Qi practitioner, and that there were hundreds of thousands of troops in Chongcheng, far more than Su Hu could match. Before the attack on Jizhou, if Su Hu had not sent Chen Qi out of the city to fight, he would have never wanted to capture Jizhou.

easy.

"Master Marquis, you go back and rest first. There are generals guarding you here."

"Okay, remember, the enemy you face this time is very powerful. You can't let down your guard at any time."

"Master Hou, don't worry."

Cui Ying agreed wholeheartedly, Chong Heihu nodded, and he went down from the tower.
Chapter completed!
