next gauntlet(2/3)
"Who are you killing?"
"Run! Run!"
There were many unarmed people at the city gate. Seeing the large number of mountain soldiers and horses rushing toward them, they turned pale with fright. They turned around and ran towards the city gate. The scene became chaotic for a time.
Fan Bo shouted: "Quickly, open the city gate and let us enter the city!"
The soldiers guarding the city quickly opened the city gate. Envoys from various countries, people, eunuchs, palace maids and servants all rushed towards the city gate, like a flood, rushing to rush into the city gate. However, the city gate is so big, how can it be done? Passing so many people at once would be okay if they passed in an orderly manner, but now so many people are squeezing through together, the more crowded they are, the harder it is to pass.
The Tu He soldiers behind him have already rushed towards him, getting closer and closer!
Ji Lin's face fell instantly. Tu He Kingdom has always been very arrogant because they are relatively close to the Central Plains and are a relatively powerful branch of the Shanrong. They have been challenging Emperor Zhou. Tu He's area is not very large and they often migrate. , but he proclaimed himself King Tu He, obviously not taking the emperor into consideration.
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Whoa!" He pulled out his sword and said to Qi Lu: "Master Lao will organize the people to enter the city. I, the Tiger Army of Luo Division, will join us to fight!"
The envoy from Qi State was extremely afraid of the Shanrong people because they had been captured by Yu Yu before. At this time, they had turned into a pot of porridge, and it was still the kind of thick porridge water that could not be opened at all.
Fanguo's army did not dare to fight the Shanrong at all. After fighting for so many years, Fanguo had long been afraid. When they saw the Shanrong charging towards them, they had no intention of fighting.
Now only the Huben Army and the Zheng State's army were left. When Ji Ya saw this scene, his calf was a little twisted, but he quickly plucked up the courage, drew his sword, gritted his teeth, and charged forward with the Zheng State's soldiers.
Seeing them rushing forward, Qi Lu realized that he did not know martial arts and was definitely not suitable for fighting. He quickly turned back to look at the crowd at the gate of the city, his palms filled with cold sweat.
Qi Lu immediately ran back and was almost drowned in the sea of people, shouting: "Don't be crowded!"
The gate of the city was crowded with people. Not only the common people were crowded, but many scholar-bureaucrats were also crowded, scrambling to push others. No one listened to Qi Lu's words. Qi Lu immediately turned cold and shouted: "Yang Yang shoulder!
Get the whip!"
Lu Yangqiang immediately took off his riding whip and handed it to Qi Lu. Qi Lu held the whip and said, "Bang!" and whipped it directly on the face of a scholar-official from a mortal country. The scholar-official from a mortal country grinned in pain and screamed in agony.
.
Although Fanguo is a small country, the scholar-officials are still scholar-officials. They were suddenly whipped by Qi Lu. They felt hurt and angry. Qi Lu said coldly: "Whoever crowds again will be whipped ten times!"
As soon as Qi Lu finished speaking, the Tiger Soldiers who followed him immediately lined up, holding whips in their hands. They really didn't care, they raised and lowered their whips and whipped them hard.
"Ouch - don't hit!"
"Don't fight! I am a doctor from a mortal country!"
Qi Lu said in a cold and stern voice: "Whoever you are, if you want to enter the city gate, you can't be crowded. People go first, women and children first! If you don't accept it, you can give it a try!"
The whips of the Huben Army were really whipped down. Tai Fu Qi was very domineering. It was clearly the city gate of Fan Kingdom, and the scholar-bureaucrats of Fan Kingdom also had to be beaten. This city gate was obviously opened by Tai Fu Qi himself, but let’s not say it.
Because Qi Lu's prestige was displayed, after being whipped a few times, no one dared to crowd anymore, and everyone passed through the city gate in an orderly manner.
All the city gates were opened, and there was a small town. However, the gates were opened on both sides, so the space was still very large. The flow of people entering the city was orderly, and most of them passed quickly.
Qi Lu came to the city gate, but did not walk in. Instead, he looked back at the battlefield in front of him. He could no longer distinguish the figure of the emperor. It was chaos, yellow sand filled the sky, and only the sound of fighting and shouting remained.
Soon they heard the sound of horse hooves, it was the soldiers of the Huben Army and the State of Zheng who had returned. Everyone took a closer look and saw that the soldiers and horses of the Tu He State were well prepared and came in huge numbers, so the soldiers of the Huben Army and the State of Zheng were unable to deal with them.
, has already retreated, preparing to retreat to the city first.
Ji Lin led the team to retreat back, but Tu He's soldiers and horses pursued them closely, holding on to them as if they wanted to block them from outside the city gate.
Both Gong and Sunzi immediately boarded the tower and took a group of Zheng archers with them to cover the retreat of Ji Lin's Huben army and Zheng's team from the tower.
Qi Lu saw Ji Lin rushing towards the city gate on horseback, and was about to rush towards the city gate, but he was just a hair away. At this time, Qi Lu's eyes suddenly flashed, and he was shaken by some dazzling light, and then he heard "Whoosh——"
The sound is a cold arrow!
It turned out to be a cold arrow, hitting Ji Lin's vest against the winter sun.
Qi Lu was so frightened that he shouted: "Be careful!!"
He was too far away, so even though he shouted, it was of no avail. Just when Qi Lu thought Ji Lin would be hit by a cold arrow, "Whoosh!!", a wisp of silver light suddenly passed by Qi Lu, and there was a "pop!"
, actually directly hit the sneak attack Leng Arrow. The Leng Arrow was split into two, split directly from the middle, and fell to the ground instantly.
Qi Lu was startled. When he looked back, he turned out to be the eunuch beside Gongsun Wuzhi. Qi Lu had an impression of this eunuch. Although he was an eunuch, he was tall and had particularly broad shoulders. Gongsun Wuzhi was arrogant and domineering. Who said that?
He didn't want to listen, but this eunuch had been following Gongsun Wuzhi for a long time, so Gongsun Wuzhi sometimes listened to his advice.
It seems to be called Meng Yang.
Meng Yang kept bending the bow and shot out with a sword, directly splitting Leng Arrow in two. His face was still so cold, even indifferent, with no expression at all. He put down the bow and arrow and said to Qi Lu: "Master
, please enter the city."
The emperor's team came flying through the dust, and soon they all poured into the city. Soldiers from all countries shouted: "Close the city gate! Close the city gate--"
The city gate of Xiaoyi made a loud noise and was suddenly blocked. The soldiers of Tu He chased after them, but they could not rush into the city. Both Gongsun and Sunzi ordered arrows to be fired again. The rain of arrows fell from the sky, and Tu He's soldiers and horses could not be stopped.
Do not retreat backwards and leave the shooting range.
Everyone retreated, but the crowd was very scattered. They were all blocked in the city of Fanguo Xiaoyi, and everyone was like a frightened bird.
Ji Lin collapsed from his horse, and Qi Lu immediately rushed up, without caring about etiquette, he grabbed Ji Lin and said, "Emperor, are you injured?!"
In the dead of winter, Ji Lin was sweating a lot. His black temple hair stuck to his cheeks, and he held a long sword in his hand, looking indescribably majestic and heroic.
Ji Lin's breathing was very rapid. After all, he had just gone through a fierce battle. There was still a ruthless look on his face. He said hoarsely: "It doesn't matter, let the master worry."
Ji Ya suddenly rushed out with his troops, and Gongsunzi had no time to stop him. When he saw Ji Ya coming back with his soldiers and horses, he immediately rushed down from the tower and strode over.
Both the grandson and the grandson were tall. They walked up four steps at once, wishing they could step in front of Saiya. His face was dark and his eyes were trembling. He said, "Sacrifice Ya! Where are you injured? Why do you bleed so much?! Medical officer
!!Where is the medical officer?!”
Both Gongsun and Sunzi were a little out of control. Listening to his excited and nervous words, Ji Ya was almost dazed. He slowly raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, looked down, and then suddenly realized, "I'm not hurt."
Ah, it's not my blood, maybe it was accidentally splashed on it? Why are you so nervous?"
Both the grandson and the grandson were startled, and then they realized that they were holding Ji Ya's hand. He immediately let go and said calmly: "Don't misunderstand me, little gentleman Ji. If there is something wrong with me, it won't be easy for him to go back to Old Zhengcheng."
Offer an explanation to each other."
Ji Ya looked even more confused, thinking, "What did I misunderstand?"
Everyone gathered in the city, and then a soldier from a mortal country rushed over, shouting: "Your Majesty! Move the book! Move the book from the Shanrong people!"
The soldier squeezed over and handed the letter to Uncle Fan. It was a piece of leather. When he unfolded it, he saw that there were writings inside, and they were written in blood.
Fan Bo was shocked and turned pale. He shook his hand and threw the lambskin on the ground. His whole body was shaking, and he murmured: "It's over... it's over..."
Prince Fan frowned, picked up the lambskin that fell on the ground, unfolded it, took a look, and then handed the book to the emperor for review. Seeing Uncle Fan's face, Qi Lu couldn't help but come over and take a look.
The words are eye-catching. Tu Heren was angry at the emperor for destroying the mountain stronghold in Jingyu Mountain, so he threatened to attack Fan Kingdom, wash it with blood, and pay with blood! If you want to avoid this war, there is a way, and that is...
Fan Bo was so frightened that he quickly reacted and shouted: "The Emperor!! Please ask the Emperor to hand over Yu Yu, so that this bloody battle can be avoided!"
That's right, Tu Heren put forward a condition: if they hand over the traitor Yu Yu, then this bloody battle can be avoided.
Ji Lin immediately frowned. Tu He's troops suddenly came to the city. They were obviously well prepared. You Yu rebelled. Tu He not only lost Yu Yu, a doctor, but also lost the entire Jingyu Mountain Forest stronghold.
You Yu has been in Tu He for so many years and has long been familiar with Tu He. Whether it is Tu He's economy, people's livelihood or military affairs, You Yu has long been a treasure trove of everyone. That's why King Tu He was so anxious to force them to hand over You Yu.
Ji Lin knew very well that the reason why Tu He was so anxious was because they were afraid, but Tu He was cunning and cunning. He first made a powerful attack and gave Fan Guo a head-on blow. Although this attack was unsuccessful, Fan Country did not have many personnel at all.
There were casualties, but Tu Heren was coming with such force, and Fanguo had been oppressed by the mountain soldiers for many years, so fear had already been ingrained in his bones, which led to the current situation.
Led by Uncle Fan, the scholar-bureaucrats of Fan country were almost unanimous, and they all asked the emperor to hand over Youyu.
"Please, Emperor, think twice!"
"Please the emperor hand over Youyu! Youyu is a Shanrong rebel. He can betray the Shanrong and he can also betray the emperor. Please think twice!"
"The emperor should hand over Youyu quickly! One Yuyu can save thousands of people in our mortal country. Please, the Emperor, please think about the people of our mortal country! Think twice! Think twice!"
Ji Lin's ears almost exploded, as if he had fallen into a toad pit instantly, but Yu Yu himself didn't react at all, as if what everyone was talking about was not his matter at all.
Ji Lin said with a cold face, "Do the people on the sidelines have any opinions?"
Qi Lu saw that the situation was one-sided and very unfavorable to the emperor, so he raised his hands and said: "Emperor, Lu has a word. Tu He issued a letter of war. Although his tone was arrogant, he threatened that only by exchanging the surplus can the bloody battle be avoided, but please think about it.
, If Tu He is really arrogant, why should he avoid a bloody battle? He could just attack the city and kill You Yu, so why bother?"
When he said this, everyone immediately looked at each other, and the noise of the crowd slowly stopped.
Qi Lu continued: "Tu He has now lost the den of thieves in Jingyu Mountain Forest. More than thousands of mountain soldiers and horse thieves have been captured. The losses are heavy. It is tantamount to having his arms broken and becoming a cripple. Now Tu He
He's raid on Xiaoyi was unsuccessful, which proved to be just a false pretense. I, Luo Division, Zheng State, Qi State, and Fan State, all four groups of soldiers and horses gathered here, so why should we be afraid of where to go? Lu thought that this battle would
, can fight, fight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yu finally moved, walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although Tu He is strong, he is not invincible. He also has his own weaknesses. Yu Yu will spend his whole life in Tu He.
In the year, I became familiar with Tu He's soldiers, horses and formations, the way of fighting against the enemy, and how to attack the strong. This is a great opportunity. As long as Tu He is defeated, the small country of Shanrong will also watch the wind and gather together to worship. As long as the emperor agrees, Yu will ask for orders.
, lead the troops to attack Tu He!"
Fan Bo immediately said in fear: "It's necessary! Your Majesty, the Shanrong people are all wolves, and Tu He is their wolf king. If you rush to fight the wolf king, you will definitely be besieged by the wolves!"
Yu Yu raised his lips and smiled, revealing a calm and mature person different from his age, and said: "Tu He is indeed the Wolf King, but each Shanrong branch has its own ambitions. Please rest assured, I can use the head on my neck as a guarantee to attack
Tu He, there will never be any other Shanrong tribe who will join forces with Tu He, and there will be no worries."
Although he said this, Uncle Fan was still afraid. After all, this era did not pay much attention to the art of war. Fighting was just a chariot with a riding slave, an archer, and a soldier holding a weapon. The Zhou people relied on war to fight.
The impact and power of the car will be greatly reduced in the mountains. Fighting with the mountain soldiers will be particularly disadvantageous. Fan Guo does not know how to adapt, so he has repeatedly failed and has been beaten. No matter who analyzes the situation now, Fan Bo
Still scared.
