Emperor Qin looked at Zhao Congshan in confusion. Didn't barbarian scouts just appear outside the city? How come the city was destroyed?
He waved his hand and ordered the guards to send Zhao Congshan back. Emperor Qin's face was gloomy.
"Tell me, what's going on? Barbarian scouts just appeared yesterday, and today the barbarian army arrived at the city?"
Zhao Congshan's face turned red.
"Barbarian scouts appeared yesterday. I had already arranged the city defense and made preparations everywhere. What I didn't expect was that 300 barbarian scouts suddenly appeared today and immediately began to attack the city."
"They had a new type of siege weapon called a ladder, and they jumped directly to the top of the city. The defenders in the city couldn't stop them. The barbarian scouts guarded the top of the city. They killed them from the top of the city and broke open the west gate."
Zhao Congshan suddenly jumped up: "Your Majesty, please leave quickly. The barbarian scouts are coming from the direction of the west city. Once they get here and disrupt the guard formation, we will be finished."
Emperor Qin's body trembled. He thought of the cannibalism of the barbarians and the officials who were eaten by the barbarians. His original anger and arrogance disappeared in an instant.
Pretending to be calm, Emperor Qin stood up and said, "Ai Qing, what do you think I should do?"
Zhao Congshan was overjoyed and was about to ask for credit.
Cao Bao led the army in from the outside and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please follow me. I have brought five hundred brave soldiers. They are all warriors who followed Prince Su to guard the city and beheaded the barbarians. They should be able to protect your majesty from escape."
Go to western Liaoning and return to the capital."
Zhao Congshan's face turned dark. Damn it, such a good opportunity was snatched away by Cao Bao, my grandson. Damn it, it's really annoying.
Cao Bao glanced at Zhao Congshan and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, this is not Mr. Zhao Congshan, the guardian of the West City. Why, the West City is broken, and you are planning to abandon the army and run away alone."
Zhao Congshan's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot: "Eunuch Cao made a mistake. The general was here to protect your majesty. Your majesty's safety is more important than Mount Tai. If someone young takes the opportunity to assassinate and injure your majesty's dragon body, there will be ten thousand west city gates."
It’s hard to make up for the unexpected.”
Cao Bao snorted: "Since you are serious, let's go. The court cannot be without a loyal minister, but I have to remind you, Mr. Zhao, you have eight thousand elites under your command. They have seen blood with the barbarians, and they are no better than the black ones."
How bad is the flag army? If you lose it, you have to look carefully at your head."
Zhao Congshan's face darkened and his legs suddenly became weak.
Emperor Qin was guarded by Cao Bao and went out of the East City Gate. As soon as the group left the East City Gate, they heard the roar of the barbarians from behind.
Cao Bao didn't dare to stop, he waved his whip desperately to beat the horses, and drove the car forward.
Emperor Qin sat in the car and looked back.
On the top of the city, four or five Qin soldiers stabbed two barbarian men with their spears. One man caught the shot with his body and casually chopped off the heads of the two Qin soldiers. The remaining Qin soldiers did not dare to enter anymore and were thrown away.
Once the gun is fired, retreat back.
The two barbarians chased after him, beheaded the owl with three swords and two swords, and continued to chase the rest of the Qin army with their swords drawn.
Emperor Qin looked at the miserable image at the top of the city, tears streaming down his face, and his voice became hoarse.
"Cao Bao, why, why is it like this?"
"They are all strong troops trained by Su Lu. They are all familiar with the spear formation. Everyone knows the three-advance and three-retreat method. When Su Lu was here, everyone was fighting for the lead. The army formation was like a dragon. Although killing the barbarians was not like cutting melons.
Food, but you can also take a taxi and go back and forth.”
"Why is it like this now?"
Cao Bao glanced at the sad emperor and thought of Su Lu's instructions to him before leaving, not to do anything about it and to evacuate the people as much as possible.
Prince Su not only commanded a first-class army and was invincible, but his vision was also extremely far-sighted. You didn't need to see it with your own eyes to know that the Qin army could not stop the barbarian army.
"After all, Prince Su's command of the army is not the same as usual. He can be invincible. After all, he has some abilities."
Cao Bao pondered and said, thinking about his plea to Su Lu, at that time he was just used to showing favors, but now thinking about it, Prince Su's place is the best escape route for the Cao family.
Emperor Qin wiped the tears on his face: "Is there really a difference? Aren't they all commanders? They are the same sergeants. I didn't deprive them of food. Why are they so impatient to fight?"
Cao Bao lowered his head: "I don't know much about military affairs, but Prince Su has such a great name and Commander Li respects him very much. Naturally, there are some differences."
"That's right."
Emperor Qin remembered what Li Chengfeng had said when he recommended Su Lu, and what Su Lu had said in the military affairs brochure he had given him. His heart was filled with regret. He was about to defeat the barbarians and stabilize the western frontier, but he was forced to leave because he would retaliate for his injustice.
After reaching Su Lu, the war situation has reached this point.
Regret!
If I had known earlier, I would have let Li Lu go. No, what would it be worth if I let all the Li family go?
Li Chengfeng spent his whole life in the army and made many great contributions to himself. How many times did he forgive Mrs. Li? What was it worth?
…
It was ten days later that Su Lu received the news that Liaoxi City had been destroyed.
Looking at Lu Kang who was almost like a clay figure, Su Lu ordered:
"Okay, I understand everything. You go to the back camp to clean up, have a meal first, and then take a nap. It's up to you whether you want to stay in the future or continue to serve in the Western Frontier Army."
Just as Lu Kang was about to speak, Lu Zhan next to him had already spoken.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Lu Kang for a favor. Can you keep him, either in the Imperial Guard Camp or in the Black Flag Army? Lu Kang still has some abilities. I beg you, Your Majesty, to take him in."
Su Lu waved his hand and said: "Okay, just look at the arrangements. If you want to go to the Guards Camp, just tell Ma Ping."
Lu Kang left, and Su Yun, who was packing up parts next to him, asked.
"Brother, how come you have become a good old man and keep taking in these people? If they are assassins, you will be in danger."
Su Lu put the polished parts on his hands and said nonchalantly:
"If that's the case, then I really have to think carefully about whether the training of this guard camp needs to be increased. It turns out that it can't even protect me. What's the use of such a guard camp."
Su Yun felt bored and continued polishing the parts.
The next day, Su Lu held the polished parts, entered a newly designated small yard, and placed the parts in front of Luotli and others.
"How about it, Rotli, is there any hope that this Flying Bird Six can fly?"
Most of the Asuka Type 6 has been assembled, but there are a lot of big holes left in several places. Some parts were smashed and could not be assembled at all, and some were completely destroyed by ballista attacks.
Rotli looked at several big holes and his face was as black as charcoal.
"No, Your Majesty, it's impossible. This thing can't fly at all. There are too many things wrong with it. When I put my inner breath into it, there's no reaction at all."
Several Thai pilots nearby also said: "It will definitely not fly. Even if it is intact, it cannot definitely fly. This tattered one will definitely not be able to fly."
"If all the junk can go up to heaven, what use are we Taixi people?"
"Shua"
A dozen knives were unsheathed at the same time, and they were placed in the necks of several Taixi people who were said to be the most cheerful. Rotli was not spared.
Su Lu patted Luo Teli on the shoulder and reminded him with a smile:
"You may have forgotten that I have already said that if you can't fly, you will be doomed."
