Chapter 72: The world is fighting (1)
"I will fight the Zheng army tomorrow. I know you will not lose your fighting spirit. In terms of talent for bows and arrows, I really can't match you. This bow can only exert its strongest power in your hands. Everyone has suffered a lot these days. Although they are very motivated, their physical strength cannot keep up. I hope you can use this bow to kill as many enemies as possible to reduce the pressure on everyone."
The grass has used the Purple Orchid Holy Bow for many years, and whenever she sees it, she can't stop feeling nostalgic. When using other bows, she feels that many abilities are incapable of using them, but she dares not make any requests.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel excited, but I suppressed my feelings and asked, "Are you afraid that Xiaocao will rebel back to Zheng State if he takes the holy bow?"
Bu Jingxian couldn't help but laugh, "I don't believe you will give up being a human here and go back to Zheng State to be a slave." As he spoke, he handed the Zilan Holy Bow to Xiaocao. The latter held the bow in both hands, and was so excited that he wanted to thank him. As soon as he was about to move, Bu Jingxian reminded him with his eyes and stopped him. After a while, he didn't know how to thank him. Finally, he could only say, "Don't worry, Xiaocao must use the Zilan Holy Bow to kill the enemy, so as to reduce the pressure as much as possible for everyone!"
Speaking of this, Zheng's army was originally rejoicing in the invading land, but overnight, they saw that the city of Chen was hung with Zhou's flags. All the generals were at a loss and went to see General Yue who was commanding the troops together.
Yue Fei's father had no idea for the moment. According to the fact that Zheng State and the Divine Soul Army are now in alliance, so naturally they cannot send troops, but as a result, he cannot go back and report his life.
Just when he was in a dilemma, some adviser came up with an idea that he should send an envoy to meet the King of Northern.
"General, after the attack on Chen, the land was returned to Zhou and eight parts to Zheng. Now we should send envoys to see how Beijun said it. At that time, our army will make sense and will not be accused of being traitorous."
Someone said, "The Northern King has already attacked our army's pass, what else should I say to him? If I wait any longer, I am afraid that the Zhou army will attack us from front to back!"
Just as everyone was arguing, someone suddenly came to report that the envoy of the Northern King was asking for a visit outside the tent.
Yue Fei's father hurriedly told him that he saw a young man who looked a little arrogant and rude, which made all the generals in the tent feel unhappy.
"According to the order of the Emperor of Zhou, King Chen was punished and his sins were redeemed. The soldiers and civilians of Chen were originally innocent. Now Chen has all surrendered to Zhou, and ordered Zheng, Qi and Chu to immediately stop their troops and withdraw from the territory of Chen. Those who disobey orders are punished for committing the crime of the superiors, and the Northern King will attack them on their behalf..."
The civil and military officials of Zheng were all furious, knowing that this was the trick of Zhou. Otherwise, how could the Zhou flag be hung in the city of Chen today, and the Zhou emperor's edict was delivered immediately?
Yue Fei's father was also angry, but he suppressed his anger and did not immediately attack. He asked the envoy of the Northern King, "Can you even give up the land you have obtained in Zheng State?"
The messenger said lightly, "You fallen people have a saying that all the kings under the heavens are the kings. Therefore, no land belongs to you, and the land in the world belongs to the Emperor Zhou."
"What a soul-willed person!" Yue Fei's father was furious. When he drew his sword and was about to kill him, he was held back and dissuaded by others. "General, no! The two armies were fighting and not killing him. Isn't it a trick to kill him to the Northern King?"
The father of Yue Fei recovered a little calmly and ordered someone to beat the envoy with a stick. Finally, he ordered the three armies to say, "We are ordered to attack Chen. Now the situation is not enough to advance or retreat. We can only fight bravely and defeat the martyrdom army on the retreat. We hope that everyone will work together and not let down the expectations of the emperor!"
Everyone accepted the order and agreed and dispersed to prepare for the battle.
At this time, Yue Fei walked in and saw her father and persuaded him, "Father, our army is now advancing and retreating without help, and is surrounded by enemies on all sides. If we cannot defeat the martyrdom army in one go, even if they retreat into the city of Guan, they will only have the consequences of destruction. The land they obtained at that time was also lost and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers were the only way to cause heavy losses to Zheng State. My father should bear the humiliation for a while, so the Northern King had no reason to attack our army, so he could only let the army go back."
After she said that, she saw her father sigh.
"Don't you know that there is no chance of winning a battle between a king? But you should know more about King Zheng than a father. The king of war has put many expectations on the emperor, and only success is allowed but not failure. If the father gives up the city and land he has obtained, he will be dead even if he returns to Zhengdu. Even if he is unable to die because of your reasons, he will probably never have the chance to go to the battlefield again. Martyrs are the long-cherished wishes of the father. Now, only by trying to defeat the martyrs can the city and land he has obtained be guaranteed and the access to the country can be restored."
"Father, there are more than 700,000 martyrs, and the 500,000 soul army led by Princess Baiyue is in a pincer attack. It is really hard to have a chance of winning in such a barely forced battle. My father can still retain the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers after he retreats."
After saying that, Yue Fei saw his father hesitating for a moment, still shook his head, saying, "Our army still has a chance of victory. Although the Martyrdom Army has captured the city, the King of Zheng will definitely send reinforcements. As long as it supports for one or two days, the Martyrdom Army will inevitably fall into a situation of being attacked from front and back. It may not be so easy for the Spirit Army led by Princess Baiyue to break through the defense line to rescue the Martyrdom Army. The 500,000 soldiers in Zheng State are not paper!"
When Yue Fei was still talking about it, a soldier came in, so she had to go out. She heard that the war was not over until midnight, so she had to go back and rest first.
The next morning, Zheng Jun received a letter of a decisive battle from the Martyrdom Army.
Both sides set up formations in Jinguang City, with Zheng's army of 200,000 troops and Bu Jingxian leading the battle of 500,000 martyrs.
Yue Fei was wearing armor and pretending to be an ordinary soldier, standing next to his father's horse. Seeing the leader of the martyr army, Beijun, spreading his black light wings on his back and stopping at a height of eight feet above the ground. She couldn't help but feel even more worried. Only then could she believe the rumors outside, and believe that people could indeed get the wings of the immortals and fly to the sky.
"I advise General Yue not to disobey the emperor's order, otherwise this is afraid that this will be the general's burial place."
"The King of Northern used tricks to deceive his allies and tore up the promise of letters. There is a public opinion in the world! The victory or defeat today is still unknown, so don't underestimate others!"
"What is the point of personal loyalty in front of the emperor's order? I am loyal to the emperor, but General Yue regards the emperor's order as nothing. Do you not know that disrespectfulness of the order is a serious crime to kill the nine clans? If the general still does not know how to stop the horse, don't blame the martyrdom army for being ruthless!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Who doesn't know the affairs of the Northern King holding the emperor? Today, the Martyrs will know the power of the elite army of Zheng State!"
Bu Jingxian pulled out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, and the light radiated by the sword blade under the fiery sun was like a dragon swaying slowly on its head. With the wielding magic sword, the martyrdom army took neatly and strode out in big stances, knocking on the shield with its weapons, and shouting, "Reverse the soul of the gods, the heavens will be punished!"
