When the morning light shone across the earth, Xian Zhen, Shivaji, and Li Keyong led their troops back to Zhanwang City. After entering the city, Shivaji parted ways with the two of them and galloped towards his temporary residence.
About half an hour later, Shivaji appeared in the study wearing a long robe, sitting in front of the wooden desk, as if waiting for someone.
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from outside the door: "Hoover, please see His Excellency the King of Light."
"come in!"
Obviously, Shivaji had known for a long time that someone would come, and he told the visitor to enter, sitting upright and suppressing the displeasure on his cheeks.
Creak~
The door was pushed open, and four figures appeared in front of Shivaji. The four people headed by Hoover raised their fists and saluted. Shivaji did not raise his hand to let them stand down, and Xun's cold questioning voice sounded:
"Hoover, since the four of you have taken action on the battlefield, why don't you eliminate the root cause but only injure the four commanders of Chu State?"
"Your Excellency King Guangming, the Emperor has ordered that the Chu generals Bai Qi, Li Jing, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Yuanba, Huang Tianhua, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen and others must be kept alive. They will be owned by the Emperor in the future and complete the unification of the Eastern Continent.
"
"The Kingdom of Chu must be destroyed, but these people must live. They are all rare fierce generals and counselors. The emperor needs their services, so his subordinates are merciful."
Hoover saluted with his fist, and his voice was sonorous and powerful. The anger on Shivaji's face disappeared, he nodded gently and said: "I see, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Don't be surprised, Your Excellency King of Light, we dare not disobey the Emperor's order."
"Your Excellency King Guangming, just remember that you will spare no effort to help Shi Tian defeat the Chu Kingdom in this battle, and my subordinates will take care of the other matters."
"This battle seems to be about our army helping the Devouring Sky to annex the Chu Kingdom. In fact, the emperor also wants to use the power of the Devouring Sky to open the door to the Eastern Continent for our Bright Empire."
"The Chu Kingdom's divine generals are invincible. Even if we look at the Dark, Wan Kingdoms, and Feixian Kingdoms of the Western Continent, they are still outstanding beings. Therefore, they must be used by the Great Emperor. I hope that Your Excellency, the King of Light, can understand his mission."
Hoover looked sharply at the trapped King of Light. When he was young, Shivaji suddenly raised his head and chuckled lightly: "I have misunderstood the four worshipers. You will fight on the battlefield all night and go down to rest early."
The four of them exited the study room with fists. Shivaji clenched his fists and smashed them on the wooden table in front of him. His face was extremely gloomy and he said: "I still don't believe in this king. I asked him to come to the Eastern Continent with an excuse just to weaken me."
power."
"What a profound plot!"
Shivaji sensed a clue from the arrival of the four Hoovers. This action of helping the Devouring Heaven Empire to attack Chu was actually the Holy Emperor of Light taking the opportunity to weaken his strength.
Taking this opportunity to consume the strength of the Holy Court Legion under his command, if the Chu Kingdom is captured, everything will belong to the Holy Emperor and has nothing to do with him. If the army is defeated and withdraws, I am afraid that it will be accused of using the troops unfavorably.
When the Holy Court Legion in his hands is exhausted, he will have no capital to fight against the Holy Emperor of Light, and he is afraid that he will be abandoned and no one knows how he died.
Thinking carefully, Shivaji narrowed his eyes slightly, showed a ruthless expression, and began to make plans for himself. Originally, he just thought that the Holy Emperor did not like him, but he did not expect that in the eyes of his father, he was just an object of sacrifice.
at this time.
During the battle at the Royal City, Zhen and Li Keyong returned to the palace. The two generals did not retreat from their military uniforms and sent a letter from Fei Ge to inform the Heaven-Eating Emperor about the situation at Mao'er Mountain.
The successive failures made Xian Zhen and Li Keyong panic, worried that Emperor Devouring Heaven would punish them. The moment the letter came out, the two of them sat slumped on the wooden table in the front hall.
At this moment, news came from the city gate defenders that Pang Jihu and Changsun Long led 50,000 soldiers outside the city.
"Fengshan was ambushed, and the 150,000 troops suffered heavy losses. Now we are bringing the remaining 50,000 troops here. These 50,000 troops will be a sharp sword."
"Open the city gate immediately and welcome General Pang into the city!"
Xian Zhen spoke, picked up his helmet on the wooden case, and strode outside the general's mansion. Li Keyong shook his head, let out a long sigh, stood up, and followed closely.
Pang Jihu and Changsun Long arrived with their troops. At the same time, two troops from Wangfengpo and Qingfengya also appeared under the King of War. Compared to Pang Jihu's troops, the other two troops from Tianye, Yunhuan and Hill suffered similar losses.
Nothing serious.
The Tiantian and Yunhuan armies were responsible for chasing Wei Qing's troops. They noticed something unusual in Wangfengpo. They chose to give up chasing the Chu army and took a detour to Zhanwang City. This is why Wei Qing's troops, who were slightly farther away, appeared first.
At the foot of Maoer Mountain.
Another group of troops, Xiantian and Hill, were ambushed by the Chu army at Qingfeng Cliff, but the vanguard suffered heavy losses. In the end, Gao Aocao could only order Qingfeng Cliff to be blocked with huge rocks to delay their march.
After all, Pang Jihu was the worst offender. He failed to pursue Li Jing's troops, and almost the entire army was killed in a sea of fire.
At present, soldiers and horses from the four countries gathered in Zhanwang City. Xian Zhen took the generals to the general's mansion to rest and recuperate. However, Pang Jihu, Li Zicheng, and Huang Taiji were eager to fight the Chu army.
In desperation, Xian Zhen could only tell the situation of the battle at Maoershan last night, and at the same time proposed to let the soldiers of the three armies rest for a few days so that they could recharge their batteries and annihilate the Chu army.
Pang Jihu, Huang Taiji, and Li Zicheng could only suppress the anger in their hearts and ordered the generals around them to tell the three armies to rest and regroup.
at this time.
The Chu army did not camp at Mao'er Mountain. The generals led four armies to Lingxiao City, the nearest city to Zhanwang City.
The army marched forward in a mighty manner. Along the way, Hua Tuo and Xiaoyao Yaozun had begun to treat the injuries of Bai Qi and Li Jing. The reason why Li Jing chose to go to Lingxiao City was because the army was exhausted after days of fighting and urgently needed a rest.
The other main reason is that the four armies are all marching in a hurry, and they carry limited provisions. The Allies of the Three Kingdoms have defected, and the Sky Devouring enemy forces are pursuing them. The provisions they carry can only last for two days at most.
............
Two days later.
Four armies came to Lingxiao City. Li Jing's injuries were now relieved. He ordered the army to enter the city. At the same time, Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu led troops to station themselves on the high mountain three miles outside the city.
"Commander, why did you order the general to camp outside the city?"
Jiang Song expressed the doubts of the generals, and as the words rang out, everyone's eyes focused on Li Jing.
"Lingxiao City is an isolated city. If a large army enters it, once the enemy forces surround the city on all sides, our army will be in a desperate situation."
"The high ground three miles away overlooks the sky and the earth, and has a panoramic view of all the disturbances, which can ensure the safety of the army in the city to the greatest extent. Therefore, the high ground here must be controlled by our army."
"In addition, Song'er is guarding here and must pay attention to Wu Chu's soldiers and horses escorting the grain and grass. I have sent people to Shuiyun City three days ago to inform them to escort the grain and grass to the King of War's city. The official road ahead is what they must pass.
road."
Hear the sound.
Jiang Song and the generals nodded one after another, understanding Li Jing's intentions, and ordered his soldiers to climb the mountain and set up camp. (To be continued)
