"But the King..."
When Qi Cang heard that he wanted to invite him to watch a play, he knew what kind of play it was. He hesitated and wanted to say something to Zheng Qiao. However, he was interrupted by Zheng Qiao just as he started to speak. In this way, he completely understood that Zheng Qiao had made up his mind and stopped talking.
"That new sixteenth-level great master, isn't his name Gong Xichou? How does his strength compare to yours?"
Zheng Qiao once used Gongxichou's knife to kill the King of Zhui. The territory controlled by the King of Zhui was in chaos due to lack of a leader, which made him in a good mood for several days. The knife was sharp and impressive.
Qi Cang sighed: "Talented people emerge in every generation."
Although he entered the sixteenth level of the Great Upper Creation realm a few years earlier than Gong Xichou and had a deeper foundation of strength, he had to admire the comparison of their ages. In addition, he and the black-clothed warrior consumed too much martial energy, and he would surely die if they fought.
Even if they were to fight in their prime, they probably wouldn't get any big advantage. Qi Cang was just lamenting the hero's old age, when he heard Zheng Qiao's disdainful sneer: "He showed up at the right time, and saved Shen Youli's little property."
Qi Cang's eyelids twitched violently when he heard this.
Although Zheng Qiao's army was not as large as the coalition forces, they were encouraged by the king's personal expedition and won two battles. Their morale remained high. However, with the addition of Huang Lie's heavy shield warriors, they were deployed to the front line to block Zheng Qiao's army. They were all as strong as bulls, felt no pain, and were not afraid of death. The originally tilted situation gradually returned to balance.
As the disadvantage was gradually reversed, this undoubtedly gave the coalition a shot in the arm. The two armies fought bloody battles for two days and two nights with Miaojiang as the boundary, leaving countless corpses and blood staining the ice surface a glaring scarlet. In the end, even the rain was stained with blood.
The invisible evil spirit, accompanied by the cold and gloomy wind, lingered on the surface of the river for a long time. The sound of the wind continued, like weeping and sobbing.
At this point in the competition, both sides were holding their breath.
Whoever can't hold on first will suffer a crushing defeat.
At this moment, Huang Lie was like a desperate gambler who had put all his chips on the gambling table. His eyes were bloodshot and fatigue was visible to the naked eye. War reports reached his ears every moment, and the morale and strength of the soldiers were almost at the critical point.
The black-robed warrior recovered his martial energy and left the battlefield.
But before he could make a move, he was intercepted by Qi Cang.
Qi Cang and Zheng Qiao were indeed of the same kind, showing no mercy when they went crazy, but the black-clothed warrior still had some concerns, and was hit in the chest by the opponent during the fight. If it weren't for the breastplate that offset most of the attack, he would have broken more than a few ribs.
Qi Cang originally wanted to kill the black-clothed warrior to boost his own morale, but Gong Xichou, a troublemaker, suddenly appeared and grabbed the black-clothed warrior by the collar and rescued him. As long as Qi Cang did not chase him, Gong Xichou would not join the battle, which made Qi Cang very angry.
If he had known that Gongxichou was such an eyesore, he should have killed him with his sword when he was still a weak opponent. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. Before nightfall on the second day, the drums of war on both sides were not as excited as at the beginning. Just when the coalition forces saw their own casualties and began to retreat, Zheng Qiao's morale collapsed for some reason, and the coalition forces reached the other side for the first time.
This major breakthrough gave the previously exhausted coalition forces hope of victory, and they chased Zheng Qiao's army for more than thirty miles.
"Alliance leader, be careful of fraud!"
"Yes, do not push the enemy when he is desperate. This is the way to use troops."
“Zheng Qiao’s troops had not shown any signs of collapse before, but they were suddenly defeated and retreated. No matter how we look at it, there seems to be something fishy going on… We have crossed the Miao River, and the tyrant has lost the natural barrier of rivers. It is better for him to gain a firm foothold first.” The coalition forces were really worried that Zheng Qiao was cheating.
Huang Lie suffered many casualties among his heavy shield warriors, and he hesitated.
Zheng Qiao's side's behavior was really weird.
However, Huang Lie was hesitant and his allies were worried, but Gu Ren, who was always a good guy, showed extraordinary ruthlessness.
He said sternly: "You are afraid, but I am not."
After saying that, he summoned several brothers who were covered in blood.
He shouted in front of the crowd, "Gather the troops and chase!"
"Yes, big brother!"
Gu Ren's brothers had a grudge against Zheng Qiao, and they played a big role in the battle of Miaojiang. They worked hard to make the enemy's health low, and they didn't chase the enemy when he ran away? They watched Zheng Qiao go back to recover and make a comeback
Screw his ancestors!
As for the leader Huang Lie
Gu Ren doesn't want to bother with anything at all now.
Seeing this, Kang Shi also jumped on his horse and gave orders to Chu Jie and others, then said, "Gu Jun Shou, wait a moment, Kang will follow you."
Huang Lie's face was gloomy: "What if there is a trick..."
Kang Shi sat on his warhorse and said without looking back: "If we fall into the enemy's trap, it will be my bad luck!"
Wu Xian's expression was slightly disturbed, but he restrained it in an instant. Qin Li, who heard the noise at the front line, seemed to want to say something to him, but he was suppressed by Wu Xian before he could open his mouth. He knew what Qin Li wanted to say, but Wu Xian didn't want to take the risk and further lose manpower. For the ultimate goal, he had to keep some strength for the final snatch.
If Zheng Qiao's troops were defeated in a panic, Gu Ren and his men who went to pursue them would undoubtedly have stepped into a trap, and their lives would have been in danger.
If Zheng Qiao's troops were not in sheep's clothing, Gu Ren and half of Chen Tang's troops would not be able to do anything to Zheng Qiao, and it would be in vain. It would be better to wait for news from Gu Ren and the others, and then make plans based on the news.
Wu Xian glanced coldly in the direction of Huang Lie. When Huang Lie looked back as if he had sensed something, Wu Xian had already retracted his gaze.
Huang Lie and his men would certainly not stand there stupidly, so they sent out elite scouts to investigate in a proper manner.
Once we have information, we will report it back immediately.
The order for the coalition forces to rest was passed down layer by layer.
Ordinary soldiers certainly had no complaints. They were at their limits physically and mentally. If they continued to fight, they would not be able to bear it until the enemy was killed. In the past two days, they had only "kill" and "charge" in their minds. Seeing familiar faces being separated forever, how could they not be afraid? They were afraid that they would be the next one. Not chasing would mean saving their lives.
Some people almost burst into curses.
Zhao Feng even grabbed his old friend's sword fan and fanned himself to cool down. His image at this time could be described as "horrifying", and it was no exaggeration to say that it could stop a child from crying at night. Blood from someone unknown was dripping from his beard, as well as some flesh and blood debris. The surface of the armor scales was bumpy, with marks of knife cuts, spear stabs, and sword splits everywhere, some of which had penetrated into the flesh.
only-
The damage caused by the injury was not as great as the stimulation at this moment.
"Alas, Wugong Lake is muddy—"
Although the old friend had the idea of running away, he also worked diligently to stand guard for the last time. I thought the battle of Miaojiang would be a perfect ending, but who would have thought that this would happen at the end. Don't chase the desperate enemy, but you have to see what the situation is, right
The rout of Zheng Qiao's troops was in complete disorder, with no signs of order in the chaos, which shows that it was not a premeditated action.
If we don't rush forward now, when will we wait
Due to dissatisfaction, the old friend changed his address to Wu Xian from "Lord" to "Mr. Wu", which shows how big the disagreement was.
He snatched away his precious knife fan.
Carefully wipe the blood off the fan handle with a handkerchief.
He said, "I hope Gongsu doesn't get mad to death this time."
Zhao Feng thought of Qin Li's expression and shook his head secretly. It was hard to say. He watched a thin soldier squeeze through the crowd and deliver a package to his old friend. He choked for a moment: "You, you plan to leave now?"
The old friend said, "It will be hard to go if it's too late."
Zhao Feng asked him, "Don't you need to submit your resignation to the Lord?"
The old friend asked back: "Does the Lord still remember me? Why should I submit a resignation? I will take this opportunity to leave quietly, which will save face for both sides. As for Gong Su, you can just help to mention it privately. But don't tell him where you are going..."
Qin Li hated the "evil plot" so much that Qi Shan went crazy.
If Qin Li knew that he was going to serve the same master with Qi Shan, he would get into big trouble if he kept nitpicking. Zhao Feng nodded when he heard this. He knew this. Seeing that his old friend was determined to leave, he couldn't continue to try to keep him.
He ordered two personal guards to escort his old friend away quietly.
The old friend had no sense of existence to begin with, and now it was so chaotic, with the post-war handling people in a mess, and no one cared where he ran off to. He tapped Zhao Fengtun's shoulder with his knife fan and said, "The mountains remain unchanged, the water flows forever, and justice will see you again someday!"
Zhao Feng sighed in his heart and said, "Goodbye!"
At the same time, Gu Ren was chasing Zheng Qiao's troops closely.
However, our side was not as familiar with the terrain as the enemy, and after chasing for half a day, we did not catch any enemy soldiers, but we did capture a lot of the remaining soldiers.
Kang Shi used the power of words to torture them severely.
He actually found out the truth about Zheng Qiao's army's rout.
The deserter was controlled by the Word Spirit, his eyes were dull and he seemed to be stupid, he confessed everything: "The food, the granary was lost..."
Kang Shi grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"What granary was lost?"
The deserter could not give any specific details.
In fact, not only the coalition forces were puzzled by the rout, they themselves were also somewhat confused. When the two armies were fighting fiercely in Miaojiang and were at a stalemate, a rumor came from somewhere that the granary near the army was burned and several large granaries storing grain were also destroyed. This news caused panic, and some people did see smoke coming out of the granary near the army.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
The building will collapse in a moment.
This is why everyone fled in panic.
Kang Shi asked around: "Do you know who did it?"
No one knows the answer to this question.
They were just ordinary, low-level soldiers. Kang Shi slapped his thigh upon hearing this and said regretfully, "It's most likely the lord and his men. How hateful - such a good opportunity was wasted by a group of cowardly villains with ulterior motives."
Gongxi Chou didn't care about anything else, he only cared about Chen Tang, or in other words, the sacred object in the coffin that their Gongxi clan had guarded for more than 200 years. He said, "Since this is Mama's work, let's go and meet her now to avoid any accidents."
What should I do if the holy object gets bumped or scratched
Tsk—
If Xiaocheng had not promised Mama that he would not send her back to lie in the coffin, Gong Xichou would really want to invite her back politely and bury her in the clan land, which would be the safest and most secure way.
Kang Shi had no idea of Gong Xichou's little plot.
Nodding in agreement, "That's right!"
They couldn't contact the lord and his entourage now, but as long as they were chasing the same target, they would meet sooner or later. They had to grab the national seal from Zheng Qiao before the coalition forces did. Little did they know that the coalition forces only delayed for half a day before launching another pursuit.
Because they learned the truth about the defeat from the prisoners.
Huang Lie said coldly: "Chase!"
Chase and stop, stop and chase.
Some lucky people trigger adventures.
For example, when Wu Xian's troops were chasing a man who looked suspicious, they initially thought he was a refugee. However, he had a voice like a drake, and it was obvious that he was not a normal man. So they caught him and found that he was actually a palace eunuch.
Wu Xian asked, "Eunuch?"
The soldiers presented all that they had scraped together.
When the package was opened, it was full of rare treasures.
There are also several of Zheng Qiao's private seals.
It turned out that when the eunuch heard that Zheng Qiao's army was defeated, he hurriedly looted some treasures and fled, trying to blend into the refugee group to escape, but who knew he would be caught. The eunuch trembled, his abdomen tightened, and he urinated on the calf-neck pants under his clothes.
Wu Xian smelled the smell of urine and waved his hand.
The soldiers dragged the terrified eunuch out.
Some lucky people meet a fellow villager who offers his life for a treasure map, some lucky people pick up a treasure emitting strange light, and some lucky people intercept a blue bird flying overhead and get a reward from it... Well, the chance of triggering an adventure is very high.
Even Gu Ren, who was chasing Zheng Qiao relentlessly, was successfully triggered.
Only Kang Shi knows nothing.
After several hasty escapes, the number of soldiers and horses around Zheng Qiao became fewer and fewer, and he, who had always lived a life of luxury, looked a little more desolate. Although the situation was bad, he smiled brightly, and his eyes were full of bright spirits, dazzling and dazzling.
Qi Cang always followed closely beside him.
Zheng Qiao asked, "Have Gu Ziyi's troops been shaken off?"
Qi Cang said: "It's temporarily thrown off."
But according to previous experience, Gu Ren's troops would catch up again before long and bite as hard as mad dogs.
Zheng Qiao smiled and said, "Gu Ziyi lives up to his name. It's a pity that people like him don't live long."
He checked Gu Ren and his group of sworn brothers.
Naturally, I know why Gu Ren is so ruthless.
Are you after the national seal in his hand
This may be just one of the reasons.
What’s more important is to avenge my brothers.
Zheng Qiao rested for a while, stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes, saying, "Hahaha, take them to Qianzhou!"
The young king found pleasure, and this pleasure might be the last bit of happiness in his life. Qi Cang said: "Yes!"
As for the loss of morale and the increasing number of deserters
Zheng Qiao didn't care at all.
He just needs to enjoy his last few days!
Because Zheng Qiao's escape route was irregular, the coalition forces were like kites and could not be caught. Finally, they unanimously decided to divide their troops into multiple routes to block him, gradually forming an encirclement, especially blocking the roads that had to be taken to various counties.
Zheng Qiao's side fought and retreated, and their troops became fewer and fewer.
"The dragnet has been laid, let's see how he escapes!"
If you really want to escape, you can still escape.
Who made him have a sixteenth-rank great master by his side
Huang Lie's troops surrounded the remaining troops of Zheng Qiao and trapped them on a cliff. But what made people want to curse was that the person who was captured was the eunuch wearing Zheng Qiao's clothes, and the real culprit had already escaped!
"Chase him! I don't believe he can fly with wings!"
