The west city gate has been defended by the Zhao army and has not been taken over by the Qin army at this time. The three Jin coalition forces left the royal city smoothly.
Feng Quji's guess was right. There was indeed no ambush in the west of the city.
Coupled with the surrender of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the vigilance of the Qin army was greatly reduced, and most of the soldiers were participating in the surrender ceremony.
However, after walking for a while, they still encountered the patrolling cavalry of the Qin Army.
"Move quickly, don't leave anyone alive." Le Cheng took the lead and rushed forward. The horse swept out and slashed out a light blade several meters long, crushing all the Qin soldiers with a radius of more than ten meters into powder.
The Zhao army followed closely behind, and the horses were slashed horizontally. The terrifying force tore the Qin army off their horses. The horses' hooves trampled over them, leaving only a pool of mud on the ground.
With just one charge, the entire Qin army's cavalry was wiped out.
"Bring all the horses over and put them on for the soldiers," Le Cheng said.
Just now, he deliberately controlled the angle and did not attack the Qin army's horses.
The Zhao army did not have enough horses. Except for the cavalry, the infantry and crossbowmen did not have horses.
It's not that the Zhao Kingdom doesn't have that many horses, but that they are here to help the Western Zhou Kingdom defend the city. The cavalry is of little use in defending the city, and the extra horses will only waste food and grass.
Although the cavalry consists of one person and two horses, in order to maintain combat effectiveness at all times, they cannot lend their horses to others to ride on.
As for the Han and Wei armies, there were even fewer horses. Except for a few generals who were qualified to ride horses, the rest had to walk.
Mang Mao and Bao Luan said nothing when they saw Zhao Jun taking the war horse for themselves.
Whose spoils shall belong to whom?
All the Qin troops were killed by Zhao Jun just now, so the spoils of war naturally belong to Zhao Jun.
"The Qin Army's camp is ahead." Feng Quji pointed forward and said. After leaving the royal city for several miles, they finally arrived at the Qin Army's camp.
After the Qin army chose the south of the city as its main attack direction, they moved their camp to a place about ten miles south of the city.
Although the military camp in the west of the city has not been demolished, there are not many troops stationed there.
"Let's go south and cross the stream." Feng Quji pointed at the map and said.
The Jianshui River runs in the south of the Imperial City, from northwest to southeast, and finally merges into the Luoshui River in the southeast of the Imperial City.
"Aren't you leaving Mengjin?" Mang Mao asked.
"We won't go. We know that we will reach Wei State after crossing Mengjin, and the Qin army also knows that Mengjin must be heavily defended. So we went in the opposite direction, took Yique Pass and entered South Korea." Feng Quji said.
"Okay. Since we have decided to listen to you, we will not regret it. You can decide everything, and I will not have any objections." Mang Mao said very decisively, causing Li Si and Feng Quji to look at him.
"Our three armies are all prosperous, and all suffer losses. I will not joke with my life." Feng Quji took a deep breath and said solemnly.
He found that under tremendous pressure, his mental energy was extremely excited, and there were signs of breaking through the limit.
The army began to move south, but the three Jin coalition forces were not a small number after all. They added up to nearly 30,000 people. No matter how they concealed their traces, unless the Qin army was blind, it would not change the outcome of being discovered.
"That's... Zhao Jun!" The Qin soldiers on the tower rubbed their eyes and finally confirmed that they had seen it correctly. They quickly said to the soldiers below, "Immediately report to the general and say that they have found traces of Zhao Jun and are heading south.
"
…
"Jiuruchu, the prince of the Duke of Western Zhou, please surrender!" Seeing that the generals of the Qin army did not respond, the Duke of Western Zhou shouted loudly again.
The generals of the Qin army remained motionless and looked at the Duke of Western Zhou coldly, but there was still no reaction.
"The sinful minister Ji Jiu betrayed the alliance and harmed the country, and went to Qin to raise an army to investigate the crime. Now I surrender and offer my thirty-six cities to Qin." Seeing this, the Duke of Western Zhou stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a 'Puttong' sound.
, cried bitterly.
"Great Qin! Great Qin!"
"Great Qin! Great Qin!"
The Qin army erupted into shouts that resounded throughout the world. All the Qin soldiers held their weapons high and the momentum was overwhelming.
Every sound was like a giant hammer hitting Duke Zhou's heart, making him feel suffocated.
The sky was foggy, and light rain continued. Blood seeped out of the soil, forming red blood snakes that snaked on the ground. The ground turned red, slippery, and cold.
The Duke of Western Zhou knelt alone in the rain. Qin Jun's eyes were like knives piercing his heart. His heart was intertwined with despair and anger, and the expression on his face was solemn and bitter. His body was shivering.
The cold raindrops fell on my body, and it seemed that only this coldness could cover up the deeper pain in my heart.
The Qin State is indeed an immoral person, and even though he surrendered, he still wants to humiliate himself!
The Duke of Western Zhou remembered the sound that had just come from the city. The King of Zhou was dead, and he was the only one left to bear this humiliation.
If he had known that the Qin army would treat him like this, he would not have dedicated his royal city to Qin even if he committed suicide.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the sharp spears of the Qin army. The Duke of Western Zhou wanted to rush forward and end his life. But he did not have the courage.
"Tie them up and parade them through the streets. I'm going to tell the world that this is the fate of resisting our great Qin." Zhang Ruo pointed at the Duke of Western Zhou and declared loudly.
"You can't treat me like this. If the Qin State treats the surrendered people like this, no one will surrender to the Qin Army in the future." The Duke of Western Zhou said loudly.
Two black-armored warriors walked up to the Duke of Western Zhou, grabbed him without explanation, and tied him to the pillar of the carriage. No matter how much he resisted, it was useless.
"Go and inform all the people in the city that they must go to the streets to watch. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Zhang Ruo's cold voice came to mind again.
"No!" Two groups of Qin troops entered the city, one on the left and one on the right, holding weapons.
"If General Wang Lu is interested, why don't we go see Jiuding together? The king has been thinking about it for a long time, and this time he finally settled his worries." Zhang Ruo said with a smile.
To Qin, even the King of Zhou was not as valuable as Jiuding.
After all, the King of Zhou was only the king of the Zhou Dynasty, while Jiuding was the Jiuding of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The destiny and luck involved are immeasurable.
"That's good, I also want to see what's so special about this Nine Cauldrons." Wang Lu stopped stroking his beard with his left hand. If there is anything in the world that he has never seen before, then the Nine Cauldrons must be one of them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Please!" Zhang Ruo stretched out his left hand in a gesture of please.
"General, please." Wang Hao stretched out his hand and said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then entered the royal city in a chariot.
"Huh?" As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Ruo saw a raging fire in the north, northeast, and northwest.
"Where is that location?" Zhang Ruo grabbed a nearby Zhou Dynasty official and asked, pointing in the direction of the fire.
"General, that's where the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties are stationed." Baiguan bowed and said.
"Immediately send someone over to see if the army of the Three Jin Dynasties is still there. Then notify the army outside the city to keep an eye on every city gate and every pass to prevent the Three Jin Dynasties from escaping." Zhang Ruo's face condensed, and he quickly
Order.
If the Three Jin Dynasties wanted to defend the city, they could tie up the Duke of Western Zhou so that he could not surrender the city.
But in the end, although the casualties of the Qin army will increase again, no one from the three Jin armies will be able to leave the royal city alive.
Sanjin did not do this, indicating that they planned to escape.
The flames in the city told Zhang Ruo that the three Jin Dynasties had probably left the royal city at this time.
Soon, Zhang Ruo and Wang Lu came to the place where the Jiuding was stored. They looked at the empty high platform, their faces instantly turned pale.
Two terrifying auras burst out from the bodies of Zhang Ruo and Wang Lu!
"Zhao Guo! Lecheng! Don't let me catch you." Zhang Ruo clenched his fists and his voice was hoarse.
How much he hoped that the scene before him was fake, but everything told him that Jiuding had indeed disappeared!
The Jiuding that Qin worked so hard to pursue fell into the hands of Zhao Jun!
Thinking of the consequences of Qin Wangji's anger, Zhang Ruo wanted to capture Lecheng and kill him with a thousand knives!
"How dare he!" Wang Lu opened his mouth and said in disbelief.
"Go to the collection room and see how many books there are." Zhang Ruo said in a deep voice.
When the troops were dispatched, Prime Minister Fan Ju specially pulled him aside and told him to remember to protect the books in the royal palace and send them to Xianyang.
Soon, Zhang Ruo saw the empty storage room. Most of the bookshelves were covered with dust, and it was obvious that the books on some bookshelves had just been taken out.
It is self-evident who took it away.
Creak! Creak!
Zhang Ruo gritted his teeth and looked at the scene in front of him, his fingers clenched into fists, and the inner energy rushed out of his body crazily, surrounding his fists, with the possibility of exploding at any time.
He wished he could blow the storage room in front of him into dust with one punch.
But after all, Zhang Ruo is not a pure military commander. His many years of experience as a local official have taught him what patience and restraint are.
Impulsiveness cannot solve any problems and will only earn you the ridicule of your enemies.
What we have to do now is to find Zhao Jun, take back the Jiuding and the classics, and then kill all Zhao Jun without leaving any one behind, and use Zhao Jun's corpse to build a Jingguan outside the royal city.
"Let's go!" Zhang Ruo suddenly turned around and walked out. He didn't want to see the storage room again.
"General, general, it's bad. The Korean army is missing."
"General, Zhao Jun is also missing."
"General, Wei Jun is also missing."
At this time, the soldiers came back one after another to report.
"Missing, a whole army of 30,000 people. Did you tell me that they were missing?" Zhang Ruo trembled slightly and was so angry that he almost wanted to laugh.
This fucking army is 30,000 strong. It’s not just three people. How can they disappear?
"Send someone to look for it immediately. If you can't find it, don't come back." Zhang Ruo waved his right hand, and his inner energy burst out, smashing the stone pillar next to him into pieces.
Fortunately, the Qin army has made complete preparations, and Lord Wu'an Bai Qi is personally in charge. Zhao Jun should not be able to escape far, and may even have fallen into Lord Wu'an's hands.
But thinking that he was being teased by Zhao Jun, Zhang Ruo felt uncontrollable anger in his heart.
"General, we have found traces of Zhao Jun in the west of the city. Zhao Jun should have left the city from the west gate and is now marching south." At this time, a soldier came galloping from afar on horseback. When he saw Zhang Ruo, he immediately got off his horse and dismounted.
He said with his fists clasped.
"Go south! How could Zhao Jun go south!" Wang Hao was shocked!
Bai Qi, Zhang Ruo, and he all speculated that Zhao State would either advance eastward or go north from Mengjin. Because Zhao State had no other choice, the Qin army set up layers of ambushes in the east and north, even in Bai Qi's case.
Qi personally waited for Zhao Guo in the north of the royal city.
As long as Zhao appears, he will definitely die.
But no one expected that Zhao Jun would leave the city through the west gate and then go south. This was the opposite of Zhao Guo!
"How many people are there in the Zhao army?" Zhang Ruo asked in a deep voice.
"Probably more than 20,000," the soldier said.
"It seems that the armies of the three Jin Dynasties are all together. Haha, it saves trouble. But there is one thing that is very interesting. People in Zhou just said that the Zhao army had received news that Lord Wu An had arrived in the army two days ago. At that time, Lord Wu An
We just arrived outside the city. Today, by coincidence, Zhao Jun bypassed Lord Wu'an and the place heavily guarded by our army..." Zhang Ruo's face was ferocious, and his voice was hoarse and full of chill.
A series of coincidences made him doubt something.
Perhaps it's time for a bloodbath among the Qin army.
"General..." Wang Hao looked at Zhang Ruo in horror.
In the entire Qin army, there were less than ten people who knew about Bai Qi's presence. Each of them was in a high position and held heavy troops.
If Zhang Ruo doubted them at this time, it would cause panic and the consequences would be disastrous.
"It's important to pursue the Three Jins. Wang Lu, you immediately lead the army to chase the Three Jins. Wan, go and tell Lord Wu An personally that the Three Jins have fled south." Zhang Ruo did not choose to lift the lid of the pot at this time.
"Nuo." Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said with fists clasped at He Wan.
"It should be in time." Zhang Ruo thought in his mind that he did not expect that the three Jin Dynasties would leave the city through the west gate and then escape south. Fortunately, he also deployed a legion on the south bank of Jianshui River. It was just an unintentional move at the time, but now it has happened
Very useful.
In addition, there are Qin army camps to the west and south of the royal city. If we try our best to hold them back, we can still hold on until Wang Lu leads his army to arrive.
But he overlooked one thing: the man guarding the Qin army's camp in the south of the city was Zheng Anping, who refused to send troops.
Since Zhang Ruo took charge of the Qin army, Zheng Anping has not been allowed to attack the city, so naturally he has no share in the surrender today.
If it were other people, they would definitely have opinions, but Zheng Anping was happy to be left alone.
Since Zheng Anping was the only senior general in the camp, he was naturally in charge of the camp.
The others didn't put forward any opinions. The Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, so what else could go wrong? Besides, even if there was a problem, they would still be there to take care of it!
Hey, what a coincidence, something went wrong!
When the Qin army in the west of the city sent a letter to Zheng Anping, asking Zheng Anping to cooperate in sending troops to intercept the three Jin coalition forces, Zheng Anping decisively refused.
Immediately, Hu He, the guard in the west of the city, jumped up in anger.
In desperation, he could only lead the Qin army to pursue it alone.
"The Qin army is catching up!" Le Cheng glanced behind him and said calmly.
Along the way, they have killed more than a dozen waves of Qin troops, ranging from a dozen to dozens more, and now finally a real legion has caught up.
"I will lead the cavalry to kill them, and you can quickly cross the river." Jia Yan said fiercely.
"Okay. We'll wait for you on the other side of the stream." Le Cheng nodded.
"I'll stay with General Jia Yan," Li Si said.
"Be careful." Le Cheng said.
"Front Arrow Formation! Charge with me!" Jia Yan pointed his spear forward, and the war clouds in the sky quickly rolled up, forming a huge cone shape, and struck hard at the Qin army.
"Rule the army according to law!" A phantom of a Xiezhi rushed out of Li Si's body and landed on the Zhao army's battle cloud. The Zhao army's battle formation suddenly became more solid, and at the same time it was covered with a layer of blood, representing the power of living towards death.
.
"Fire arrows!" Fifteen hundred cavalrymen fired arrows at the same time, and the dense arrows rushed towards the approaching Qin army like locusts.
As the top cavalry, while improving your riding skills, you also improve your archery skills.
Although he didn't have any talent in archery, Zhao Jun's archery frequency was still higher than that of Qin Jun.
When the Qin army took out bows and arrows from behind and prepared to shoot, the front was already covered by arrow rain.
"Raise your shield!" Hu He's hysterical shouts echoed on the battlefield.
Puff puff!
Puff puff!
With the blessing of super high speed, Zhao Jun's arrows successfully broke through Qin Jun's wooden shield wrapped in cowhide, penetrated Qin Jun's armor, and then sank into Qin Jun's chest.
The Qin army was hit by arrows in a large area, and a large open space was cleared in front of them. Even the general Hu He was unable to completely avoid it, and was hit by an arrow in his arm.
"Kill!" Zhao Jun put the bow and arrow back into the horse bag, grasped the horse again, and before the Qin army had time to set up a formation, it stabbed into the Qin army like a pair of scissors.
The heavy horse's hoof stepped hard on Qin Jun's forehead. Under the influence of gravity distortion, Qin Jun's head exploded like a watermelon.
"Poof!" A brilliant gun flower bloomed at the tip of Jia Yan's spear, split into nine in mid-air, and moved forward. Each flower would take away the lives of all the Qin troops on the route until the energy was exhausted.
The Zhao army swept through the Qin army's line like a violent wind and rushed in along the torn gap. The saber drew silver arcs in the air, and the Qin army in front of them fell down like cutting grass.
As for the Qin army's attack, just leave it to the equipment to defend it.
Although the sensitive Zhao Jun has discovered that Zhao Jun's equipment cannot completely defend against Qin Jun's attack, Qin Jun's attack will still have an impact on them.
However, at this time, the Qin army's defense line had been shattered by the Zhao army. They didn't even know where the general was, and they couldn't organize an effective attack at all, so it didn't matter.
Hu He looked at the Qin army who were being killed like wild dogs by the Zhao army. Thinking of his father Hu Yang who died in the hands of Sanjin, a kind of madness gradually emerged in his heart. Once upon a time, they massacred the three Jins like this. Why?
Now it's the other way around.
"I don't accept it!" Hu He roared angrily and rushed towards Jia Yan with a fearless momentum. The dark inner energy rushed out of his body and slashed towards Jia Yan crazily.
"Breakthrough!" Jia Yan looked at Hu He in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party could break through to the extraordinary state in the moment of battle.
"Go to hell!" Seeing the general's breakthrough, the Qin army's morale suddenly surged. They swung their spears and stabbed Zhao Jun's horse in the belly. The horse suffered from pain and let out a miserable cry, standing upright on its front legs.
Zhao Jun's horse waved, killing Qin Jun, and took control of the horse again.
"Come on!" Li Si also became excited and shouted loudly.
Unless you experience it yourself, you will never know what it feels like to run wildly on the battlefield.
"Commander, be careful." Zhao Ge and another soldier guarded Li Si on the left and right in the middle.
"Death!" Li Si's eyes were firm, and he held the horse's pole tightly with both hands. Without any skills, he just waved Zhongping, and the huge force knocked the Qin army away.
