Chapter four hundred and eighty fifth unexpected ending
In front of Hangu Pass, Zhou Shi looked at the rebels who had been repulsed again, with a look of disappointment on his face and a sigh.
The officers and soldiers inside the pass were much tougher than he imagined, and the opponent also had more defensive equipment than he imagined.
In the past two days, I have used kerosene alone no less than ten times. Zhou Shi really didn't know what the other party was doing with so much kerosene. You must know that at the beginning, the other party came to take back Hangu Pass.
At that time, no one told the other party that they would come to attack the city.
Zhou Shi, who was originally in the land of Guandong and had smooth sailing, felt mournful for the first time. Although the Qin State was in some decline, it was still not easy to be destroyed.
In this battle, Zhou Shi asked himself that he had lost. Even if he did not want to admit defeat, nearly half of the 100,000 troops suffered casualties, and he was unable to organize another siege.
This army has reached its limit. If we continue to forcefully suppress them, there will only be two results, either collapse or mutiny.
But Zhou Shi was a little unwilling, so he decided to take a risk.
…
On the city wall, Lin Ze watched the rebels retreat, and calmly ordered a change of defenses. At this point, the 250,000-strong army had all rotated through, which was considered to be an experience.
In Lin Ze's opinion, Zhou Shi was really extraordinary. It had only been a while since Chen She started his army. In less than three months, Zhou Shi had created an army that was extremely close to the elite.
It is one of the basic qualities of an elite to sustain more than half of its casualties without collapsing.
Lin Ze dared to conclude that as long as this army won two more games and developed the belief of being invincible, it would be an elite force that could face an ordinary army head-on and defeat one against five.
It's just that after this battle, it won't be that easy. Once you hit the wall, it will be ten times more difficult to cultivate your invincible belief than before.
Suddenly, within Lin Ze's line of sight, a horseman outside the city quickly approached the city wall, holding a large flag high, waving it vigorously, and shouting.
Lin Ze immediately ordered: "Don't shoot the arrow, let him come over, I would like to hear what he has to say?"
The soldier who had subconsciously raised his bow immediately lowered his arm and allowed the knight to approach.
When the knight came to the city wall, he shouted loudly: "May I ask where the general of Qin is? My general has something to say to him."
Lin Ze said to a guard beside him: "Reply him and tell him that I am here to listen."
The guard took a step forward and responded loudly: "My commander-in-chief is right here. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
After hearing this, the knight tried his best to reply: "My general said that he lost this battle, and he plans to retreat tomorrow, but he is unwilling to do so. He wants to see who is the hero who defeated him."
"My general sincerely invites me to meet with the commander-in-chief of the army. It will be near the city wall. Both sides will bring at most ten guards. If the commander-in-chief does not dare to meet, just pretend that he did not say anything. After today, there may be no chance for the two sides to meet again. I don't know.
What do the officers and soldiers think?"
Lin Ze thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and said decisively: "Promise him, I will go out of the city to meet him in a quarter of an hour."
The personal guard truthfully conveyed Lin Ze's intention to the knight. After the knight got the result, he immediately rushed back to the rebel camp to report back.
Lin Ze looked at the back of the knight as he left, with a faint look in his eyes, and said to Dongfang He who was not far away: "How about I trouble my uncle to accompany my nephew?"
Dongfang He chuckled and said: "If the sect master doesn't dislike the old man like Lao Dao, what's wrong with him accompanying the sect master?"
Lin Ze couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Are you still an old man? Are you kidding me? If the four elders of Fang Xiandao don't join forces to form a formation, the four of them together may not be able to beat you.
Lin Ze didn't take the old man's humble words to heart. He counted the time and about a quarter of an hour later, he floated down with the Eastern Crane and stood firmly one mile away from the city wall.
At the same time, Zhou Shi came galloping on horseback with ten guards and stopped fifty meters in front of Lin Ze. The two sides faced off.
Zhou Shi looked at the extraordinary Lin Ze standing in front of him and couldn't help but admired: "I heard Zhao Wen say that the commander-in-chief of the army is an unparalleled young genius. I was a little unconvinced at first, but now I know it when I see him.
It is better to meet than to be famous."
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said: "General Zhou has been commended. The general is a genius in leading troops. From what I can see, the general follows the Chen thief to fight against the Qin Dynasty. The future is bleak. How about surrendering to the Qin Dynasty and making great achievements?"
Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "General Lin just said what I said. This big ship of the Qin State is leaking everywhere and is about to sink. General Lin is such a talented person, why don't you join my lord and become a marquis in the future?"
Wouldn’t it be great to live in all the splendor and wealth, to have a wife and a son?”
Lin Ze sighed slightly and said: "The general is optimistic about Chen She, but I am more optimistic about Da Qin. As the saying goes, if we have different ways of doing things, it will be difficult to reach an agreement. The general specially invited me to meet with you today. Do you have anything else to discuss?"
Zhou Shi looked at Lin Ze and slowly said: "I came here today mainly for three things. The first is to know what kind of person is blocking me from the customs. I just knew it when I met him.
I won’t lose unjustly.”
"Secondly, I want to recruit generals, but this is out of my imagination. Who would accept the recruitment of a defeated general?"
"This is the third one..."
Zhou Shi paused deliberately, then suddenly got angry, drew out his long sword and struck Lin Ze hard: "I'm wondering if I can take the opportunity to kill the general and seize Hangu Pass."
At the same time, the ten people behind Zhou Shi jumped up. Four people followed Zhou Shi and took action. The other six people circled around from both sides and surrounded Lin Ze and the two of them. The aura they revealed was that of the peak of the sixth grade.
territory.
A knowing smile appeared on Lin Ze's face: "What a coincidence, I thought so too."
Zhou Shi, who was still in the air, had a disdainful smile on his face and said: "Just you? There is a difference between the sixth grade and the sixth grade. You will never know that a sixth grade warrior who has condensed two hundred acupoints
How powerful is it?"
"If I'm to blame, I blame you for being too big and bringing only one guard, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of."
Seeing Zhou Shi getting closer and closer, Lin Zefang said quietly: "I naturally know how powerful it is to condense two hundred acupoints, but do you know how powerful the sixth-grade Dzogchen is?"
After saying that, the Tianwen Sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flew towards Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi suddenly felt alarmed, and a feeling of extreme danger emerged in his mind. Without thinking, he took out two talismans, crushed one directly, and threw the other.
After the talisman was crushed, a defensive halo appeared, protecting Zhou Shi inside.
Lin Ze's sword light first met Zhou Shi's sword. The sword broke and only one-tenth of the sword light was consumed.
Then it fell into the aperture, the aperture shattered, and only one-tenth of the sword light remained, falling on Zhou Shi.
I saw Zhou Shi spit out a big mouthful of Yue as if he had been hit hard, and flew back faster than when he came.
Lin Ze frowned slightly and hesitated slightly: "Grandmaster's secret treasure?"
At the same time, the talisman thrown by Zhou Shi had arrived in front of Lin Ze.
Lin Ze didn't dare to show any signs of neglect, he held his breath and concentrated, burst out his true energy, and struck out with a sword.
When the talisman and the Tianwen Sword met, there was only a loud "boom" sound. Where Lin Ze stood, the ground sank three feet and was filled with dust.
Lin Ze just swayed, then returned to normal, and said with a relaxed expression: "Thirty percent of the power of an ordinary grandmaster can't do anything to me."
Seeing this, Zhou Shi shouted sadly: "Quickly retreat."
After saying that, without waiting for his subordinates to react, he ran towards the camp desperately regardless of his own injuries. He felt extremely regretful in his heart. He never imagined that Lin Ze, who looked so young, could have such terrifying martial arts skills.
However, it was too late at this time. The attacks of the four sixth-grade peak warriors barely reached Lin Ze. Lin Ze held the Tianwen Sword and made a slight circle. The four people fell down numbly.
The six sixth-grade peak warriors who were making a roundabout way were stunned on the spot. Endless fear emerged in their hearts. They turned around and ran away. Unfortunately, Lin Ze had no intention of letting them go. He chased after them like ghosts and killed them one by one with a sword.
Almost exhausted.
Finally, Lin Ze glanced at Zhou Shi who was running wildly, smiled slightly at Dongfang He and said, "Uncle Master, let's go back to the city."
Dongfang He said with a surprised look on his face: "No more chasing?"
