"Keng clang clang~!"
On the mountain road, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong joined forces to fight against the three masters of the Cui and Zheng families. The clang of weapons clashing resounded throughout the valley!
Although in terms of overall strength, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong are comparable to Wang Tieshou, Chu Xiaofeng, and Hua Xiajian, the previous battle between these three people and Duan Zhixuan resulted in a lot of losses. They were really angry and suffered some injuries. Although they were not fatal, they could not maintain their peak condition!
It is precisely because of these reasons that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were able to compete with the three masters without falling behind!
Looking at the other side, with the five thousand elites brought by Cheng Yaojin to join in, the secret guards of the Cui and Zheng families gradually showed their defeat, and the balance of victory began to tilt towards the court!
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually getting dark.
Three grand masters from the Cui and Zheng families were worshiped. At this time, one was dead and two were injured. Chu Xiaofeng was dead, and only Wang Tieshou and Hua Xiajian were left struggling to support themselves. Looking at this situation, they would not be able to last long. Got it!
On the other hand, of the 50,000 secret guards of the Cui family, there are only less than 10,000 left at this moment, and everyone is still wounded. The battle has come to an end!
Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie were watching and anxious, but there was nothing they could do!
"Huai Jie, I... our secret guard seems to be unable to withstand it, or... let's escape~!"
Cui Shen said with a pale face.
He is afraid of death, he has not lived enough!
"Gudong~!"
Zheng Huaijie swallowed, hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay... okay! Let's escape now and get into the woods on both sides of the mountain road. Even if they find out that we have escaped in the end, it will not be easy for them to find us!"
After saying that, these two young masters from aristocratic families, together with a few personal guards, began to sneak towards the hillside next to them.
"Dong dong dong~!"
At this moment, there was another sound of neat horse hooves outside the mountain road. A moment later, the sect saw groups of black-armored knights galloping towards this side!
"Uncle Bao, Zhijie! Jinda comes to help~!"
Niu Jinda urged the war horse under his crotch and rushed towards this side!
"Xuanjia Army! It's Xuanjia Army again~! The Cui family and the Zheng family are done~!"
Wang Tieshou saw the incoming army clearly, and suddenly felt despair, and said with a painful look on his face.
At this time, he was really desperate and even wanted to give up the resistance!
"Quick! Run! Another group of Xuanjia Army is coming~!"
When Cui Shen heard the movement at the mountain pass, he took a closer look and was immediately frightened. He was so frightened that he quickly urged Zheng Huaijie and the guards around him to speed up!
"Jinda! Don't worry about us for now, those two should be the two young masters from the Cui family and the Zheng family, catch them~! Don't let them escape~!"
Qin Qiong had already noticed Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie, who were guarded by a group of people and wanted to escape. He quickly approached the flying Niu.
"Okay! I'm going to catch those two dolls!"
Niu Jindashun, Qin Qiong, looked in the direction pointed by him, then shouted, urging his horse to run in the direction of Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie!
"Sir! Let's go quickly! Someone is chasing us from the other side! I'll help you resist for a while!"
A guard next to Cui Shen saw Niu Jinda running towards him, said something, then turned around with a tragic face, and went to fight with a weapon!
"Go! Go! You all go and stop that person~! The Cui family will help take care of your family~!
Cui Shen panicked and quickly yelled at the other guards around him.
"Yes! Master~!"
Several guards looked at each other, with a trace of despair flashing in their eyes. They cupped their hands and turned around and rushed out!
"Hey! You guys also want to stop me~?"
Niu Jinda snorted coldly, and without slowing down at all, he ran towards these soldiers. These soldiers didn't even see Niu Jinda's movements, and their weapons were already knocked away by the horse in Niu Jinda's hand. ! And they were also pushed back by this huge force!
Niu Jinda did not kill them, but ran straight towards Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie who were running up the hillside. In the blink of an eye, he had caught up!
He jumped off his horse and knocked them unconscious with almost no effort. Cui Shen's guards wanted to come forward to rescue them, but they were surrounded by the soldiers who came over!
But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong found a flaw in Wang Tieshou and Hua Xiajian respectively, and killed them with one blow. The two master-level nobles fell down unwillingly!
The reinforcements from the Cui and Zheng families who had not yet fallen saw that their young master had been captured and their top combat power had perished. They suddenly lost the motivation to continue fighting. They all put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender!
Seeing this, Qin Qiong decisively ordered to clean up the battlefield quickly, and then went back to join the main army!
In this battle, the Cui and Zheng families' enshrining hall and death camp were completely wiped out, and only 3,000 of the 50,000 secret guards remained, who finally surrendered. As for the imperial court, the Xuanjia Army suffered heavy losses, with more than 500 horses damaged and many killed. There were 512 sergeants, the general Duan Zhixuan was seriously injured, 40,000 soldiers, 3568 people were killed, and 5032 people were seriously injured. Overall, it was a heavy loss!
If Qin Qiong and Chen Yaojin hadn't arrived in time, the losses would have been even more severe, or even the entire army would have been annihilated!
… … … … … …
"Zhixuan, you are recovering from your injuries. The military situation is urgent. You made the right choice at that time. The reason why the Xuanjia Army suffered heavy losses was mainly because we underestimated the power hidden by these aristocratic families!"
Returning to the Chinese army's tent in the south of Guancheng County, after Qin Qiong reported the battle situation to Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan bowed and apologized to Li Jing. Li Jing shook his head and consoled him warmly.
With three grandmasters, hundreds of martial arts masters at the Qi Transformation Realm, and thousands of warriors who are not afraid of death, with such a lineup, probably only the Xuanjia Army led by Duan Zhixuan can fight against them, although in the end The Xuanjia Army still suffered heavy losses, but Li Jing understood that with the strength of the troops at the time, it was quite difficult to fight like this!
In the final analysis, they still underestimated the heritage and strength of these thousand-year-old families!
"Thank you, Chief Manager, for your kindness!"
Duan Zhixuan cupped his hands, then turned and left with a sad look on his face.
He won this battle, but he also lost!
"General Manager, the identities of these two boys have been identified. They are Cui Shen, the eldest grandson of the Cui family in Boling, and Zheng Huaijie, the eldest grandson of the Zheng family in Xingyang. How should we deal with them?"
Niu Jinda pointed to Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie who were lying on the ground, clasped his fists at Li Jing and asked.
Li Jing thought for a while and replied: "I'll take him down for safekeeping first, then bring him back to Chang'an and hand him over to His Majesty for your disposal!"
"okay!"
When Niu Jinda heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Qin Qiong asked: "General Manager, when will we attack the city?"
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Although theoretically speaking, our victory is certain, and the Cui family must also know this, they still want to resist stubbornly, and even want to pull the whole city together. The common people were buried with them, and their thoughts were not evil!
If we attack the city rashly, they will probably let the newly recruited young men and women, and even some old and weak women and children, go up to the towers to defend the city. In this way, if we attack by force, we will probably accidentally injure countless innocent people. Once the war is over, the people's livelihood in Zhengzhou will definitely be reduced. Transfer order, it won’t be able to recover in ten years!
Therefore, the siege of the city needs long-term planning, and I have to report this matter to Your Majesty! Let the soldiers rest for the night. Anyway, the rebels in the city won't be able to escape for a while! "
Qin Qiong frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "What the Chief Manager said makes sense, so let's take a rest for the night!"
… … … … …
Li Jing's prediction was correct. Cui Junchuo planned to bring the entire city to his funeral!
"Wen Ji, Shu Wu, you don't have to have hope anymore! Now that Li Jing is here, all the reinforcements brought by Cui Shen and Huai Jie must have been killed. There is no way they can defeat Li Jing's plan!"
The main hall of the governor's mansion.
Everyone had a gloomy face, and the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing, so depressing that it was difficult to breathe.
Cui Junchuo stood up tremblingly and sighed.
"No! I don't believe that my family Huai Jie died like this!"
Zheng Shuwu shook his head with pain on his face.
Cui Junchuo sighed and ignored it.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Shuwu suddenly stood up at this time, walked quickly to Cui Junchuo, grabbed his collar, and said as if he was crazy: "It's all you! It's all you! If Cui Junchuo hadn't used your clever words to charm me, How did the Zheng family get to this point?"
Cui Junchuo didn't dare. Being pulled by Zheng Shuwu, he suddenly had difficulty breathing. He quickly shouted to Pan Zhenyue next to him: "Quick! Zheng Shuwu is crazy! Catch him quickly! Quick! What are you doing standing still? "
Pan Zhenyue was still hesitant at first, but seeing Cui Junchuo almost out of breath, he quickly waved his hand and ordered: "Come here! Arrest Mrs. Zheng!"
"Here!"
"Cui Junchuo, do you dare... do you dare to let people arrest me?"
Zheng Shuwu was quickly captured by the guards. He looked at Cui Junchuo in disbelief and asked.
"Hmph! Why don't you dare? Quickly, take him down!"
Cui Junchuo said with an annoyed look.
Now that the reinforcements from the Cui and Zheng families have been wiped out by Li Jing, he no longer needs to rely on the Zheng family, so there is no need for him to coddle Zheng Shuwu anymore!
Because the entire army in Guancheng County is from his Qinghe Cui family! !
"Cui Junchuo, you are ungrateful, you will die a good death!"
Cui Junchuo was quickly taken away, leaving only a burst of vicious curses. Cui Wenji just looked at it without saying a word from beginning to end, because he could see the situation clearly!
"Zhenyue, if Li Jing attacks the city later, let the new soldiers go up to defend the city. Once the new soldiers are dead, the people in the city will be rushed to the wall to defend the city! Even if the Cui family cannot win, I will let Li Jing be killed in Guancheng County How many teeth! I want the entire Guancheng County to be buried with the Cui family!!"
After a moment of silence, Cui Junchuo looked at Pan Zhenyue and spoke viciously every word.
After hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts!
