Sickness comes like a mountain, and goes away like silk. This is especially true of the highly contagious plague.
When King Jing knew that his soldiers were indeed suffering from the plague, the military doctor had long since disappeared.
Suzaku, Xuanwu, Qinglong and Baihu are the four major military camps of Prince Jing.
"Grandma, little bastards! When I catch you, I'll show you off..."
Prince Jing was pacing up and down in front of the throne with his hands behind his back, the dim light was just like his dark heart at this moment. Rong Changan, who had recovered from his injuries, had already rushed towards his barracks.
The three major battalion commanders and a military division were sitting next to each other. The expressions of the four people are not very good. Battalion Commander Xuanwu was infected with the plague and couldn't get out of bed to attend the meeting.
"Report, my lord!"
A small soldier stumbled in, knelt down and reported, "My lord, Rong Chang'an has broken through the first line of defense."
"Rong Chang'an, so fast?" Battalion Commander Bai Hu opened his mouth wide in surprise. This is too fast!
"Isn't the first line of defense shields and archers? How could it be breached?" Suzaku Battalion Commander suspected that the news was fraudulent.
"Reporting to the lord, many people fought with illnesses, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong."
"You guys, is there any way to retreat from the enemy?" Prince Jing's cold eyes scanned the four people below.
"My lord, the last general will lead the Zhuque battalion to fight. Please give me your permission." The battalion commander of the Zhuque battalion is tall and thin. He is the number one warrior in the barracks and the most upright person.
Prince Jing looked up and saw that it was he who called for the fight, and felt a little comforted in his heart.
"Bufan, I will hand over the Suzaku Camp and those Jianghu masters to your commander, and I must beat Rong Changan back. I have raised them for so long, and the time for them to play their role has come." Prince Jing ordered with a cold face. Follow the order.
"Follow your orders, my lord." Battalion Commander Suzaku took the order and stopped at the door hesitantly.
"Do you still have something to do?" Prince Jing thought that Bu Fan, the commander of the Suzaku Battalion, had repented, and his face was angry.
"If my minister is killed in battle, please take care of my wife and children."
When Prince Jing heard this, it was human nature, so he simply answered yes.
In this way, the masters of the rivers and lakes and the soldiers of the Suzaku Camp recruited by King Jing became the second line of defense.
In less than a quarter of an hour, someone came to report again. The soldier stumbled in, his armor was torn and his body was covered with blood. Judging from the situation, he must have gone back to the king's tent after a fierce fight.
"Report, report to the lord." The little soldier said intermittently, "Zhu, the commander of the Zhuque battalion was killed, all the soldiers of the Zhuque battalion were arrested, the enemy, the enemy is killing..." Before he could finish speaking, the little soldier fell to the ground and died.
"It's unreasonable, Rong Changan, you're bullying too much!" Prince Jing cursed, venting his dissatisfaction, and there was no specific way to retreat from the enemy.
"You, you, and you. Speak, quickly, what should we do now!" Prince Jing pointed at the two battalion commanders, passed the two battalion commanders who bowed their heads, and finally stopped on the army division.
"You said, you are a military adviser, what should we do?"
"My lord, I do have a strategy, but I don't know if you think it's appropriate or not." The military adviser shrank and said in a low voice.
"Say it, tell it quickly. What time is it? If you have a way, hurry up and say it." This military adviser took Joe too much!
"Well, my lord, although the strategy is good, it can only be effective if it is told to you alone." The military master was afraid in his heart, pretending to be deep and cold.
"You all go out." The soldiers all led out, only the two battalion commanders were still waiting for the strategist's plan.
The military division raised his head at this moment, and looked directly at the prince with pretended deep eyes, "The fewer people there are, the better the effect."
Prince Jing thought about it too, it's a trick, of course it's a surprise, he waved his hands to let the two battalion commanders also go out.
"You two, go out too! I'll give you instructions later." The two battalion commanders didn't know what the military division was thinking, so they could only follow the prince's order and go out to guard the door.
"My lord, our side has suffered heavy losses, and Rong Changan's wife is so brave, let's retreat first!" The military adviser raised his head and saw Prince Jing's more gloomy expression, and hurriedly persuaded, "It's not that you are inferior to Rong Changan, but that now we The soldiers and horses are sick and few, so head-to-head is not suitable. Keep the green hills, so you don’t have to worry about no firewood.”
The military adviser took a sneak peek and found that Prince Jing's face was a little better, "Prince Jing, you are the son of the late emperor, and you have a high status, so you must not put yourself in danger. After we go back, we will recruit troops and buy horses. Next time, we must go directly to Chang'an City and take the foolish king away." Both Li Hai and Rong Changan were killed!"
King Jing closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, "It makes sense. It's just that the enemy is outnumbered, so the military commander has a good strategy?" King Jing's gaze turned to the military commander again.
"There is exactly one. It's just that I have wronged you, Prince Jing." The military adviser said embarrassedly.
"But it's okay to talk!"
"You can disguise yourself as an ordinary person and leave quietly with a few confidantes. No one in the barracks knows. You send the two generals at the gate to the defense line to delay you for a while." The military division said, It seems that I have thought about it countless times.
"This, Battalion Commander Qinglong is my brother-in-law, this, isn't it good?" Prince Jing hesitated a little.
"My lord, they are your battalion commanders, and it is their blessing to be able to dedicate themselves to you. Your lord, you are so kind-hearted! You will become a great weapon in the future!"
The military adviser's words dispelled Prince Jing's last hesitation. In fact, he just lacked a reason to convince himself, and he didn't really care about others.
King Jing sent out all the soldiers to meet the enemy, only a dozen or so confidantes were left in disguise, and quietly walked towards a large valley with dense trees that the military division had found in advance.
The idea is very good, what kind of people Rong Changan and Yan Li are, but after they found out, they didn't chase after them with all their strength, but rested while chasing, like a cat catching a mouse!
King Jing was teased like this, but he could only endure it, and continued to hide with his dozen or so personal guards.
In the steepest canyon below Fuling Mountain, Wang Xiaoer, the captain of Rong Chang'an's personal army, and his team members have leaves on their heads.
"Captain Wang, what do you think the general asked us to do here? Basking in the sun? I'm almost sunburned. Why can they go to war and we can only bask in the sun here? I also want to fight with the general .”
A soldier named Gouzi complained. This person is quick-witted and clever, and Wang Xiaoer often takes him by his side.
"Don't talk nonsense, stay quietly. If you delay the general's affairs, you will be dealt with by military law." Wang Xiaoer's warning eyes swept over each of his team members.
In fact, he also murmured in his heart that he really wanted to go to war, but the general asked him to stay here for a while. He can't violate military orders either!
"Captain, look, how many people came in?" Gouzi complained, but kept looking at the valley entrance seriously.
"Quiet, wait for them to get closer and take a look. Wait for my order." Wang Xiaoer's heart tightened instantly, waiting for the group of people to approach.
"My lord, drink some water and take a rest." The military adviser handed King Jing the water bottle, found a relatively flat stone, dusted the dirt with his long sleeve, and asked King Jing to sit down.
"My lord, look, there are lush trees there, let's hide there for a while. When Rong Chang'an leaves, we can go back to Jing County."
"Hmph, I'll settle the score with her later." She was so scared to death, but she kept her mouth stubborn, saying that she was just like Prince Jing.
Suddenly, forty or fifty soldiers rushed down from the hillside, lined up and immediately surrounded Prince Jing.
Wang Xiaoer took a closer look to see that it was indeed Prince Jing and his party, and he was very happy.
"The general is really clever! Sure enough, Prince Jing was caught here. Today, our personal guard battalion has made a great contribution. There is not one left. Let's kill them all and go back to celebrate for everyone!"
"Hee hee, captain, leave Prince Jing to me! I haven't killed the prince yet! Just let me try!" Gouzi smiled playfully, but before he finished speaking, his sword had already cut Prince Jing's neck. He is afraid that others will take his credit!
King Jing was killed, and the remaining dozen or so guards were dealt with in a few clicks.
