Chapter 1269 Ambush
Chapter 1269 Ambush
Just now when Li Tianjiao knew that the country was going to be subjugated, Li Tianjiao held back his tears and did not cry. Hearing what the old general said now, he couldn't bear it anymore, his throat was swollen and choked, and he couldn't speak.
Veteran General Cui Shanzhong pulled out his sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of Xiliang, we were born in Xiliang and grew up in Xiliang. The water of Xiliang... the food of Xiliang nourished us! The gods of Xiliang protect us. Follow us! Our Majesty is determined to fight to the death for the country! Can we wait for Xiliang soldiers to retreat?!"
In the spacious and majestic hall, the high-pitched voice of the old general Cui Shanzhong was like Hong Zhong.
"Can't retreat!"
"Can't retreat!"
"Can't retreat!"
The soldiers inside and outside the hall shouted loudly, the shouts were loud and deafening.
"If the gods bless me in Xiliang, we will defend Xiliang to the death in today's battle! If the will of the gods is to let us Xiliang cease to exist, we will also fight for our country, our home...your majesty It’s over! It’s an honor to die! There is no regret to die!” The old general Cui Shanzhong looked around and saw that the morale of the Xiliang soldiers had been boosted, and his eyes fell on Li Tianjiao, “Your Majesty, give the order!”
Li Tianjiao tightly held the long sword in his hand, raised it high, and shouted hoarsely: "Warriors of Xiliang! For Xiliang...kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Amid the three shouts of killing from the soldiers, Li Tianjiao and the old general Cui Shanzhong led the soldiers towards the front hall.
Li Tianjiao's eyes were calm, and suddenly he was not afraid!
Why not be afraid of death, so many soldiers from Xiliang are accompanying her!
However, even if she died, she still wanted to kill a few more Zhou thieves and a few more Yan dogs. If she could bring the younger brother of the Great Zhou Emperor and the Ninth Prince of Great Yan, that would be great!
In the front hall, when Li Tianjiao and the old general Cui Shanzhong arrived with their soldiers, the corpses of the Xiliang army were piled up inside and outside the originally glamorous bluestone floor, from the white jade steps of the front hall to the inside of the hall. The brook flows down slowly from the jade steps.
It is not an exaggeration to call this place a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Oops!" the old general Cui Shanzhong exclaimed, and before he could explain, the arrows rained down.
Veteran General Cui Shanzhong turned around swiftly to protect Li Tianjiao behind him, and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat to the main hall!"
Li Tianjiao looked up, and saw fires suddenly lit up above the double-eaved palaces all around, and the enemy soldiers were holding bows and crossbows, shooting arrows at them continuously!
Cui Shanzhong and the others kept Li Tianjiao in the middle, even if they knew that there were no ambush archers in the hall, Da Zhou and Yan Guo sincerely wanted to force them into the hall, but now they can only retreat into the hall, after all The enemy army is condescending...they don't have much choice!
There is still room for retreating into the palace, if you stand in this unprotected place, you will never escape the fate of dying under the rain of enemy arrows.
Cui Shanzhong couldn't figure it out, he and Li Tianjiao made a temporary decision to face the enemy head-on, how did Yan Guo and Da Zhou know they were coming and set up an ambush in advance? !
There was no time for the old general Cui Shanzhong to think too much. They protected Li Tianjiao and kept retreating...
The soldiers from Xiliang who were the first to rush into the main hall came out and said loudly: "There is no ambush!"
Cui Shanzhong no longer hesitated, grabbed Li Tianjiao's arm, and finally rushed back into the hall under the cover of all the soldiers.
After going around in a circle, Li Tianjiao did not expect that she would come back again.
All the corpses of Li Tianjiao's hidden guards in the hall are here, and Li Tianjiao's eyes are sour.
She brought up the greatest courage in her life to fight out with her sword in hand, thinking that she could kill a few more enemy troops and die on the battlefield, but she never thought that she would be forced back here again.
This reminds Li Tianjiao of the Eight Great Families of Xiliang who are like the gangrene of Xiliang. She had great confidence to clean up the Eight Great Families of Xiliang that her father and emperor had trouble with. Step by step, the power was taken into her own hands, but she did not expect that the power of the Eight Great Families was far greater than she imagined.
Outside the palace gate, the flames flickered...
"Be careful they burn the palace!" Cui Shanzhong said loudly.
The soldiers rushed to the door with their bodies, even though Da Zhou and Yan Guo had no intention of rushing in.
Xiao Ruohai and Yue Shi followed behind Bai Qingyu and Xiao Rongyan, and walked out from the army that surrounded the hall.
The flames reflected Xiao Rongyan's cold mask red, and he turned his head to signal Yue Shi.
Yue Shi stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Emperor Xiliang, old general Cui Shanzhong, as long as you are captured without a fight, no matter if you surrender to Yan Kingdom or Dazhou, the soldiers inside will survive. Xiliang is destined to be wiped out today. Stop making unnecessary sacrifices and surrender!"
The reason why they were forced into the hall was because the old general Cui Shanzhong was also a general... and the Bai family in the metropolis is generally a century-old general. Later, he was suspected and feared by the king, and his family was ruined. Xiao Rongyan thought of Bai Qingyan , Thinking of Bai Qingyan's grandfather Bai Weiting, the king of the town!
Therefore, Xiao Rongyan is willing to give this 80-year-old general an ending to spend his twilight years...the end of his life.
It was because, as the son of a general, Bai Qingyu had a little compassion for an old general like Cui Shanzhong.
Seeing no response from inside, Yueshi turned her head and glanced at her master, and saw Xiao Rongyan walking up the steps, and shouted loudly to Cui Shanzhong inside: "Old General Cui, Master Cui reads in Old General Cui on Friday." He was also born in a hundred-year-old Jiangmen Zanying family, and like the Bai family, the family was ruined because of the king's suspicion, so... it left a glimmer of hope for the general."
When Bai Qingyu heard this, she looked at Xiao Rongyan, and immediately understood what Xiao Rongyan meant...
Xiao Rongyan probably had the intention of ceding Yunjing to Da Zhou.
His palms tightened, why?
If Yan State holds Yunjing in its hands, the chances of winning will be greater when the two countries determine the ownership of the world based on national politics in the future.
The last time my sister was trapped in Gyantse City, Xiao Rongyan abandoned Yunjing and rushed to rescue Gyantse City. It was because of the deep friendship with my sister, because I was worried about my sister's safety, and worried about the safety of my child.
So what about this time? Why did he give up Yunjing to Da Zhou?
In Bai Qingyu's view, Dayan's Ninth Prince is definitely not a person who can be trapped by his children's love other than facing his own sister. He has other purposes?
Inside the main hall, Li Tianjiao looked towards Cui Shanzhong when he heard this.
Only Cui Shanzhong said with a smile: "The Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom can compare this old man with the Bai family in the capital city. I am very lucky! There was a military song of the Bai family army... If you don't fight to the death, you will never take off your armor. My family and country are good! Over eighty, but the heart of protecting the country and patriotism is not old, and I am willing to fight for the country without dying or disarming! Prince Yan Jiu and the five sons of the Bai family don't need to say more, just let the horse come over, and the old man will accept the call!"
The third update, thank you little ancestors for your concern. The cubs in the family have high fever repeatedly. The situation improved during the day today. I took the time to write an update. At night, the fever reached 39 degrees. I really can’t make up for yesterday... I’m really sorry!
