Zhao Kuo has really not fought such a battle for a long time.
The last time he fought with an army of thousands of people was twenty years ago, when he fought against the Yan State.
Zhao Kuo felt a little baffled by Lao Ai's rebellion and regarded it as his last struggle. When the enemy's knights charged towards him, Zhao Kuo quickly issued an order and the crossbowmen were ready.
When the knights were half a step away from them, Zhao Kuo gave an order and fired a volley of bows and crossbows. In such a short-distance battle, the rest of the soldiers could throw out their spears to kill people.
Not everyone who fights on horseback can be called a knight. In this era without riding tools, it is not easy to ride a horse safely, let alone fight on horseback.
When the arrows flew, these people also wanted to use their bows to fight back, but there were not many among them who could ride and shoot. When the arrows flew, people fell on their backs, and the knights of Lao'ai gathered together.
Not only did the cavalry not use their mobility, it even made it easier for Qin's crossbowmen to shoot them. After being hit by arrows, because they were too compact, the fallen people and horses would overwhelm the friendly troops behind them. These knights were far away from Zhao.
Forty paces away, the men fell on their backs, the horses whined, and one man fell down one after another, while the rest of the soldiers followed them and continued to advance.
Zhao Kuo held a strong bow and kept shooting those knights. Zhao Kuo's archery was accurate and efficient.
Just when the knights caused chaos, many knights chose to retreat, and the infantry were crowded with each other due to random orders, Zhao Kuo couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and gave the order to attack. Then,
He shouted again: "Wuchenghou is here! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Meng Wu ordered the soldiers to shout so, and then launched an attack on the enemy. Zhao Kuo suddenly saw a familiar figure riding a horse.
The horse galloped past him.
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at him a few more times, and then shouted to Zhao Fu: "Charge!"
The familiar figure rushed into the enemy first, and the spear in his hand suddenly pierced the enemy in front of him. He let go, pulled out the spear from the opponent's back, and then nailed another person directly to the ground.
Above, the horse under his crotch was so tall that it knocked away the soldiers who were blocking it. The spear in his hand kept thrusting, like a lightning attack. Every time he took action and stopped, he was so quick.
Under the lightning-like stabbing blow, the diners covered the bloody holes in their bodies and fell off their horses in pain.
Zhao Kang raised his head and laughed. He glared at the chariot in the distance, "Kill the thief!!", he roared, and rushed towards Lao Ai's chariot at the lead. There were not many knights brought by Meng Wu.
After Zhao Kang directly opened a gap, these knights followed him one after another and launched an attack together. The spear in Zhao Kang's hand struck so fast that people could not see clearly how he started and stopped.
As soon as he shook his hands, a knight fell to the ground.
Mengwu's infantry shouted loudly: "Marquis Wu Cheng is here! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Except for those confidants who were promoted by Lao Ai, these county soldiers were all unaware. They acted according to the Queen Mother's seal. At this moment, they heard that Zhao Kuo was opposite and saw in the distance.
The familiar face that appeared on the chariot immediately dropped the weapon in his hand and gave up resistance. Lao Ai, who was watching the battle on the chariot, first saw his knights falling in front of the opposite formation, and then saw
The enemy reacted and counterattacked.
The soldiers in front dropped their weapons one after another. Lao Ai looked at this scene in horror and couldn't help shouting: "How dare you disobey the Queen Mother's order? This is a capital crime! This is a capital crime! Zhao Kuo
Rebellion! Zhao Kuo is rebellious!" Obviously, his words were not as convincing as the other party. At this moment, Lao Ai was horrified to find the knights running towards her in the distance.
.
"Stop them!!" Lao Ai shouted, and then asked her driver to take her away from here.
When Lao Ai's disciples charged towards the knights, Zhao Kang ran headlong into the crowd, piercing the enemies one after another with the spear in his hand. Zhao Kang was not afraid at all, as if something was coming.
Burning, his attacks became more and more cruel, each time he stabbed directly into the opponent's throat, and sometimes he could even decapitate him. However, such a terrifying scene scared the disciples who stopped him to scream.
Got up.
They discarded their weapons and knelt directly on the ground. The horses leaped over their heads, and Zhao Kang began to pursue Lao Ai's chariot.
Zhao Kang's horse was given to him by the King of Qin. It was quite strong. When he charged with all his strength, the distance between the chariot and him was getting closer and closer. Lao Ai turned his head in horror. He saw a leaping towards him.
Zhao Kang suddenly jumped onto the chariot, kicked the right side of the chariot out of the chariot, and then hit Lao Ai's face with a headbutt. Lao Ai screamed, Zhao Kang did not stop at all, and kneeled
Right on target...
Lao Ai suffered such a severe blow and immediately fainted from the pain. Zhao Kang then ordered the driver in front of him to stop. The driver continued driving crazily. It was unknown whether he was afraid of being alive or something else and did not obey Zhao Kang's order.
, Zhao Kang had no choice but to kill the man and stop the carriage. When Zhao Kang turned around and came back, the soldiers who followed Lao Ai were kneeling on the ground, and Mengwu's soldiers were around them.
Zhao Kuo frowned and stood on the carriage, looking quite angry.
Zhao Kang grinned, then dragged Lao Ai and jumped out of the chariot, came to Zhao Kuo's side, threw Lao Ai on the ground, and then said to Zhao Kuo: "Father... I captured Lao Ai alive.
!", Zhao Kuo looked at him, his face was still very ugly. He looked at Zhao Kang, and Zhao Kang wiped off the blood on his face and said: "These people are vulnerable...", "After returning home,
, Let’s talk about this again...”
Zhao Kang, who was fearless on the battlefield just now, was a little scared now.
Meng Wu stood on the chariot, looking at Lao Ai in the distance, looking at these troops, he couldn't help but shook his head, even such a guy dared to fight against Wu Chenghou, this was simply an insult to Wu Chengjun, the king really didn't
Guess wrong, Lao Ai really rebelled... Meng Wu squinted his eyes, thinking about the things that the king secretly told him before he left, and then he walked to Zhao Kuo's side, and he said with a smile: "Wu Chenghou.
.Kang was summoned by me myself, and his height has reached the standard for participating in the war. Please don't blame him."
Zhao Kuo glanced at him, said nothing, and just nodded.
Speaking of which, Kang, the bastard, really gave him a scare today. Several times, Zhao Kuo saw him being overwhelmed by the crowd... Zhao Kang laughed again, looked at Lao Ai beside him, and said, "How about that?"
Behead this guy? He just insulted my father..." But Meng Wu shook his head and said: "We must act according to the law and we cannot behead him..." Then he looked at Zhao
Kuo, motioning for Zhao Kuo to follow him.
Zhao Kuo came to Meng Wu's side, and the two gradually moved away from the soldiers.
Meng Wu then said: "There is something I have to tell you..."
"Please tell me."
Meng Wu struggled for a moment and then said: "The king asked me to escort you to Yongcheng. In fact, after you left, he sent people to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion. As long as he waits for the news here in Lao Ai, he will take action against the Prime Minister.
Now Lao Ai is plotting a rebellion, and the Prime Minister is the one who recommended him... When the battle situation here is returned to Xianyang, the Prime Minister will definitely be executed... Before the battle, I have sent scouts to explain the situation here.", Zhao
Kuo's eyes widened. He never imagined that Zheng's purpose was to trick him into leaving.
Seeing Zhao Kuo becoming even more angry, Meng Wu said helplessly: "The Prime Minister has made great contributions to the state of Qin. I really can't bear that he will be implicated by such a villain..." Zhao Kuo nodded and then looked towards
Knowing the direction of Yongcheng, he said: "The distance between Xianyang and Yongcheng is not far. Please go to Yongcheng quickly and control the inside and outside of Yongcheng. No one is allowed to enter or exit. I will go to Xianyang first and then come to Yongcheng."
"Wei!" Meng Wu leaned over and bowed.
Zhao Kuo then turned around and rushed to Xianyang quickly. He really wanted to save Lu Buwei's life. Although he made a mistake, his contribution was not small. If he continued to live, he could save more people.
.And the scouts have already gone to Xianyang, so he must go in time.
After Zhao Kuo left, Meng Wu led his army directly to Yongcheng.
The garrison in Yongcheng was all taken away by Lao Ai, and it became an empty city. Meng Wu captured the empty city without any effort. When they arrived at the palace, they encountered some resistance, but against Meng Wu
All this was not difficult. Meng Wu took Zhao Kang as the vanguard and successfully entered the palace. After Meng Wu and others bloodbathed the palace, in the back hall, they finally saw the Queen Mother who participated in the rebellion.
The Queen Mother looked very frightened. She looked at the tiger-like and wolf-like soldiers in front of her in horror. She hugged her two children tightly.
Her two children were also curled up in her arms, trembling with fear. Her whole body was trembling. She pretended to be angry and asked loudly: "What do you want to do? I am from Qin.
Queen Mother, I am the mother of King Qin, do the second and third sons want to rebel??!" After hearing her question, as expected, the soldiers were a little scared and did not dare to come closer. They took a few steps back, but Meng Wu walked in.
Meng Wu looked at the woman in front of him seriously. Zhao Ji did not recognize him, but Zhao Ji knew that he was the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army.
Zhao Ji asked tremblingly: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Meng Wu looked at her without saying a word. He didn't even reveal his identity. Finally, Meng Wu's eyes fell on the two children. Meng Wu smiled and walked slowly to Zhao Ji's side.
, under Zhao Ji's horrified gaze, Meng Wu grabbed the shoulders of the two children and pulled them out. The children cried in horror, and Zhao Ji also grabbed the children's hands and refused to let go.
"Let them go, let them go, they don't know anything, they are less than ten years old, they are innocent, innocent!" Zhao Ji cried loudly, holding the child's arm tightly.
, Meng Wu was not polite. The soldiers on both sides stepped forward and separated the mother and son directly. Zhao Kang on the side couldn't bear it. He looked at this scene and couldn't help but turn his head. Zhao Ji probably noticed him.
"I know you! You are Kang! I hugged you when you were a child! Save my children, save them. Isn't your father very kind? How can you ignore death? They don't know anything.
ah!"
Zhao Ji seemed to have grasped the last straw and kept asking Zhao Kang for help. Zhao Kang looked at Meng Wu helplessly, with unbearable eyes, but Meng Wu shook his head and said: "According to the law,
According to the law, the rebels will be punished by the entire clan... No one from the entire clan will survive." Zhao Kang asked: "Even a child?"
"Even if it's a child...that's why I sent Marquis Wu Cheng away."
Meng Wu firmly grabbed the child in his hand and walked towards the palace. Zhao Kang wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a long time and left. Only Zhao Ji walked in the direction of Meng Wu.
After rushing over, the soldiers grabbed her tightly, and she started crying, tearing her hair, "They are not at fault. If you want to kill them, you can kill me. Let them go! Kang! Why don't you learn from you?"
Father?!"
Zhao Ji kept rushing towards the outside of the palace with all her strength, until she heard the painful screams coming from outside the palace, that familiar scream.
Zhao Ji clearly heard them calling out for their mother.
At that moment, Zhao Ji gave up her resistance. She just stared blankly ahead. Tears kept falling down, leaving traces of tears on her face. She remained motionless, just stared blankly ahead. She had gone crazy.
.
If it were the original stranger, he could take her away with him.
Zhao Ji's eyes became dull and dazed.
Outside the palace, Zhao Kang dropped the weapon in his hand. He sat casually on the steps and shook his head. It was dusk at this moment, and the sky was the most beautiful. The sunset shone on him. Zhao Kang inherited
My father's appearance has even been improved a bit because of my mother. The sunset in the world and the young general who just fought a bloody battle formed a beautiful picture.
However, our young general does not look very happy, his eyes are full of melancholy.
At some point, Meng Wu sat next to him.
"You know... there are still many people who want to murder the king, and those two children are the best flags for those who oppose it... Zhao Ji said to the outside world that these two children are the posthumous children of the late king, and also said that today
The king is the heir of Marquis Wu Cheng, not the direct descendant of the late king... This is a big deal. Think about it, if they were alive, how many people would die? Can you understand me?"
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Maybe, but if I come, I will definitely not kill women and children. I will kill those who want to take advantage of women and children."
"Well, maybe."
Meng Wu nodded, and the two of them looked at the sunset.
"If one day, we don't need to kill anyone anymore... you can take Tian with me to go hunting, you know? That son of yours is very bad at shooting."
