696 Capture Zhao Jiang, Great Victory
The shouts of killing outside the city didn't stop all night.
The people of Bianliang City did not sleep a wink a night.
Because once you close your eyes, you may never wake up again.
Standing at a high point in the city, you can see the fire outside the city.
But no one was curious enough to come forward and take a look.
According to insiders, the King of Zhennan led an army of 100,000 people to fight out. There were only about 30,000 troops stationed in the city, and the east gate was wide open.
This shocked the people who heard the news.
The capital was besieged by a million troops.
If you don't defend the city, but lead the troops to kill it, even a child will hide at home and dare not go out when seeing several people coming to beat him. However, the King of Zhennan led his troops to kill him.
If Chen Mo hadn't had a similar experience of winning before, the people would have definitely scolded Chen Mo for losing his mind and running out to die.
The behavior of a fool.
Weiyang Palace.
"Cai'er, there is news from the front."
That night, Xiao Yunxi asked Cai'er this question countless times. Now that it was almost dawn, she asked again.
Since Chen Mo hadn't told her about the enemy's night attack tonight, as the news of the enemy attack reached her ears, her whole heart couldn't help but tighten. She was afraid of Chen Mo's sudden attack.
There is no defense, let the enemy come in.
From the moment the night attack began, Xiao Yunxi's tightened heart never relaxed and she prayed for Chen Mo all the time.
Cai'er, who was standing by, said, "Queen Mother, no."
"It's almost dawn, and not even a single news has come out. It seems that the war is very tense." Xiao Yunxi frowned.
"Queen Mother, it's getting late. Why don't you take a nap for a while? Maybe when you wake up, King Zhennan will appear in front of you," Cai'er said.
Xiao Yunxi shook her head and said: "It's already this time, how can the Ai family still sleep?"
Xiao Yunxi stood up and paced back and forth. After a while, she said: "Cai'er, let's change clothes for Aijia. Aijia has to go to Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
As if to find an excuse for herself, Xiao Yunxi also added: "King Zhennan is fighting bloody battles at the front. Jiang Ning will definitely be worried about her. The Ai family should go see her."
"No." Cai'er responded, then brought some clothes and started changing Xiao Yunxi's clothes.
When Xiao Yunxi arrived at Zhennan Palace in a phoenix chariot, she was shocked by the sound of several cannons in the distance.
This was the first time she heard the sound of artillery shells exploding. The soundproofing of the palace was so good that she couldn't hear it clearly.
When they entered Zhennan Prince's Mansion and were greeted by Wu Xiner, Xiao Yunxi asked, "What was that sound just now?"
"It should be the sound of the Hongyi cannon firing," Wu Xiner said.
"Oh, is this the sound? It's really loud, louder than thunder." Xiao Yunxi heard Chen Mo talk about the Hongyi Cannon, but she had never seen it or heard the sound of the cannon.
"The queen mother knows something?"
"I heard from King Zhennan. Where is Jiang Ning? The Ai family came to see her." Xiao Yunxi didn't want to say more about Chen Mo, lest she arouse suspicion.
Little did he know that Wu Xiner had already suspected it.
Zhao Jiangning also stayed up all night and sat in Wu Xiner's room with Chen Mo's wives and concubines, praying for Chen Mo.
After Xiao Yunxi came over, she sat next to Zhao Jiangning.
Xiao Yunxi glanced around and saw that she was sitting with Chen Mo's wives and concubines. There was nothing inappropriate at all. Instead, she blended in. Except for the fact that her identity made the women a little hesitant to speak, there was nothing inappropriate at all.
Xiao Yunxi's face turned red inexplicably.
The fighting lasted until noon.
As Zhao Jiang was kicked out of the Dantian by Chen Mo, and like a beggar, Chen Mo held a spear against his neck, the battle came to an end.
"The King of Yan is in my hands, why don't you surrender quickly?"
"The King of Yan is in my hands, why don't you surrender quickly?"
"The King of Yan is in my hands, why don't you surrender quickly?"
""
Chen Mo drank three times in a row, and the sound was as loud as thunder.
When the remnants of the Yan army saw Zhao Jiang falling in front of Chen Mo, they were so frightened that they completely lost their fighting spirit and dropped their weapons one after another and surrendered.
Under the warm winter sun, smoke and dust billowed outside Bianliang City. The ground was dyed crimson with blood, the moat was dyed red with blood, and corpses were lying on the ground.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
Less than 30% of the imperial army left the city to fight, but they achieved a huge victory.
King Yan was captured, and as his troops surrendered, the war ended with his defeat.
Chen Mo did not kill him, but now that his cultivation was abolished, Chen Mo had someone take him into custody, and then he would be tried according to the laws of the Song Dynasty.
Chen Mo found a place that was not stained by blood and sat down.
He was so tired. He hadn't stopped since last night and his hand holding the gun was sore.
While no one was paying attention, Chen Mo wiped the Nine Thunder Xuantian Spear with his true energy and put it into his body. The blood-spattered armor on his body could no longer be seen as it was.
"Master, are you okay?"
Xiaojiu came over. Now, its hair was as white as last night. After getting closer, it said again: "Master, do you want to lie down on me and rest?"
Chen Mo didn't notice the shyness flashing in its eyes and touched his head: "No, I just need to take a rest."
Gao Zheng led the defenders out of the city to clean the battlefield, and then walked over diligently: "Your Majesty, the war is over, and the siege of the capital has been lifted. Your Majesty, go and rest, your subordinates can just come down and watch."
Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if there is anything important, come to my house and notify me as soon as possible."
After saying that, Chen Mo jumped on Xiaojiu's back: "Let's go, Xiaojiu, go back and rest."
"Princess, the prince is back"
As soon as Chen Mo returned home, the maid came over to inform him.
The girls who were praying for Chen Mo immediately stood up and spoke almost at the same time:
"Where is your husband?"
"Where's the old man?"
"Where is King Zhennan?"
Hearing Xiao Yunxi's voice, Chen Mo's wives and concubines quickly looked at her.
Xiao Yunxi's face turned red and she pretended to be calm: "The Ai family would like to ask King Zhennan how the war is going?"
The maid replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, it seems that she has won the battle. Your Majesty, he is taking a bath."
"Is there anyone around to help you?" Zhao Jiangning asked.
The maid shook her head and before she spoke, Zhao Jiangning shouted: "Master, he works so hard, but there is no one around to serve him."
After saying that, he walked outside the house.
The maid said pitifully: "It's the prince who doesn't want us to serve him."
But no one heard what the maid said. After Zhao Jiangning went out, everyone except Xiao Yunxi, Wu Xiner and others followed him out.
Xiao Yunxi hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and walked out.
The news of the Imperial Army's great victory soon spread throughout the capital, and everyone who heard it was stunned and dissatisfied.
