Chapter 483: Conquering the border city of Tang
What is a swordsman?
Even if there are many powerful enemies in front of you, you will still be fearless if you dare to draw your sword.
That's what Jianyi is like.
Even when faced with absolute power, such as the fox demon Meixi back then, or some existences in Beiyuan, he was never afraid.
And it will also give rise to a fighting spirit.
Today.
On the city wall, sword energy raged freely.
Any enemy soldiers who tried to rush in front of him were knocked down by a sword, or were injured by the sword energy that kept spinning around them.
Deng Qi knew that Jian Yi was the culprit who killed Ling Huxuan.
Even facing the powerful him, Deng Qi had nothing to fear in his heart.
After all, there are still so many soldiers around him.
Since one person cannot kill the sword master of Wei, then ten people and a hundred people will do it.
When the soldiers under his command were rushing toward Jian Yi like a storm, Deng Qi even interrupted him, "Sword Master of Wei, your emperor, how much did you pay for my head? I'll give you double, and you go and kill you."
How about bringing the emperor’s head to me?”
"You don't have to object in a hurry. If double doesn't work, then triple or four times. You will always get a satisfactory price. Oh, the troops, your emperor of Wei, are not worth so much money."
Deng Qi knew very well that for a master like him, his thoughts should not be disturbed.
The reason for doing this is to affect Jian Yi's mind, so that his soldiers will find some flaws.
Otherwise, the flawless Sword Master would be able to sustain himself for a long time even under the attack of thousands of troops.
However, he misjudged Jianyi.
Jian Yi has been training in Beiyuan for many years, and his character has long been different. Moreover, even the previous Jian Yi's character will not be affected by one or two words from Deng Qi.
After Zhao Yun saw that the situation above the city was very unfavorable to Jianyi, he accelerated the siege. A total of 400,000 troops besieged the border city. All available siege equipment was put to use.
, this cost-effective approach is just to relieve Jianyi's pressure.
Just when Zhao Yun felt that Jian Yi might be in some bad danger if things continued like this, an astonishing scene appeared. Five sword immortals, flying with swords, arrived at the border town.
Seeing this? Zhao Yun's confidence doubled.
Now that all the six swords in the sword pavilion are in place, no matter what happens, you can escape unscathed.
The five swordsmen of Jiange quickly came to Jianyi's side. Jiansan said: "Brother, save your strength? Concentrate the sword power? Brothers, I will open the way for you!"
Jian nodded.
He looked at Deng Qi with cold eyes.
Deng Qi was suddenly horrified by the look in his eyes. His heart palpitated and he said, "What a strong murderous intention!"
The five swords opened a bloody path for Jianyi to kill, allowing Jianyi to quickly approach Deng Qi.
In the narrow city road? Liu Jian killed at least a thousand enemy soldiers before giving Jian Yi a chance.
An opportunity to get close to Deng Qi quickly.
Naturally, Jian Yi would not waste this opportunity.
He struck with a sword, his body moved with the sword, and his sword power was endless. After killing several soldiers who were blocking Deng Qi, he saw Deng Qi trying to escape.
Just go and catch up immediately.
Finally, after another fight, he jumped up and came to Deng Qi, pointing his sword at him.
"The person His Majesty the Emperor wants to kill has never been alive before."
Deng Qi said expressionlessly: "Your emperor of Wei State, because of his own selfish interests, provoked war and caused the displacement of many people in the world? Why do you want to work for someone like this?"
Jian Dao said: "The general trend of the world is that if it divides for a long time, it will unite and unite for a long time. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, there has never been any war. If there was, it was a war with foreigners. But what happened after the pre-Qin Dynasty fell apart? There was a year of war between the countries.
The number of times has far exceeded the sum of all foreign battles during the Unification Period. Therefore, please do not use your personal opinions to evaluate an eternal emperor."
"One emperor through the ages?"
Deng Qi snorted coldly: "Just him? Is he worthy?"
Jianyi frowned when he heard the sound and said: "Back then, when the Chu State attacked our Wei State and their troops came to the capital, His Majesty the Emperor personally went into battle to kill the enemy without giving up an inch of ground. He risked his life several times to stop the Chu army;
Your emperor of the Tang Dynasty fled because of a temporary defeat. Comparing the two emperors, who do you think is better and who is worse?"
Deng Qi retorted: "That's just a temporary measure, just watch! Sooner or later, I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will drive you all out of the country!"
Jian Yi chuckled and said: "This sentence, ask yourself, do you believe it?"
Deng Qi remained silent.
Jian Yiyi said: "It's a pity that you won't be able to see that day either."
The words fall.
The long sword in Jianyi's hand pierced Deng Qi's heart.
Deng Qi fell to the ground on his back.
Looking at his dead body, and then looking around at the Tang army soldiers who were afraid to attack him, he mocked: "Deng Qi, do you see, this is your Tang army. If I kill him today,
He is a general of our Wei State, so no matter how powerful I am, the generals of the Wei Army will fight me to the end, bloodshed, and fight to the death."
With one sword, he cut off Deng Qi's head. He used all his inner strength and loudly shouted to both the enemy and us: "Your general, Deng Qi, has been beheaded by me. Why don't you just capture him without restraint?"
First, the Tang army officers and soldiers around Jian Yi dropped their weapons one after another, and this trend gradually expanded to the entire city.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Yun also led an army and entered the border town.
Deng Qi probably never thought that he would lose the border town in the first confrontation with the enemy, despite thinking that he could hold on to it for many days.
As for himself, he ended up dying for his country.
In this battle, the enemy captured 130,000 prisoners.
The remaining 70,000 Tang army officers and soldiers were all killed in the battle to defend the city.
Zhao Changqing entered the border town, and before he had time to celebrate, he said to Li Cunxiao: "The Emperor of Tang escaped last night and took his family with him. He will not go far. I will give you all the 300,000 heavy armored cavalry. Chase him and kill him."
The Emperor of Tang!"
After Li Cunxiao received the order, he immediately went to lead the troops to hunt down Li Qingcang.
Afterwards, Zhao Changqing called Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu to the meeting hall.
"Capture the border city. We cannot stay here for too long. We must divide our troops immediately and attack on multiple fronts to attack various states and counties in the Tang Kingdom."
The two of them were a little stunned when they heard the emperor's opinion.
Divide troops?
The two of them looked at each other, and Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, would it be inappropriate to divide the troops at this time?"
Zhao Changqing said: "If you have any opinions, just say them."
Jia Xu nodded and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now that the Tang Dynasty's vitality is seriously damaged, it is more appropriate to follow the established strategy and attack Huanglong directly! As long as the capital of the Tang Dynasty is captured, we will be within 100 meters.
Can all the territory of the Lower Tang Kingdom be far away?"
Zhuge Liang also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, according to the marching speed of our army, it will only take a month or two to reach the capital of the Tang State. Once the capital of the Tang State is captured by our army, by that time, won't the entire Tang State be at your fingertips?"
"
After listening to the two men's remarks, Zhao Changqing stood with his hands behind his hands, smiled and said: "I am very clear about the opinions of the two military advisors, but today is different from the past. Li Qingcang is not a fool. After he returns to the capital, he will not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely
We will unite all the forces that can be combined to attack our army. I have thought about it for a long time. The territory of the Tang State is very large. When the time comes, once public resentment is aroused, the soldiers or the people of the various prefectures and counties will be the source of the Tang State.
With the continuous supply of troops, facing the suppression and joint attacks from surrounding cities and counties, who of you can guarantee it and take down the capital?"
The two immediately looked at each other.
I heard His Majesty the Emperor say again: "The most reliable way at present is to attack in an all-out manner, smash all the states and counties of the Tang State to pieces, attack at multiple points, and fully bloom. Our attack on the Tang State is not to fight for one city or one place."
