Chapter 2528 Northern Expedition
After the death of King Hanjiang, the chaotic and bloody Longzhou city wall fell into a deathly silence, and the atmosphere became extremely depressed, and most of this depression was directed at the rebels.
This battle was truly cowardly. In their home base, within half a day, the city gate was breached. The masters just gave up their fight, and their king was destroyed.
What does it mean to be leaderless?
Their current situation illustrates this sentence very well.
"Surrender without killing." Zhao Yun stood on the top of the city gate, overlooking the bottom.
As he spoke, he also drew a big bow with a flick of his sleeve, which had a very clear meaning:
Put down your weapons, hello, me, hello, everyone. If you still resist stubbornly, you will be shot at the first bird. Whoever can jump up and down will be dealt with first.
This is the situation.
The Western Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of a battle, they just didn't want to increase casualties.
Why!
A sigh followed, coming from a general wearing silver armor.
In Longzhou, except for King Hanjiang, he is the supreme commander. The king has been buried, and there is no point in struggling anymore.
He dropped his saber and lowered his proud head.
After him, the deputy commanders and commanders all gave up resistance.
Even they were like this, not to mention the rebel soldiers, who were squatting on the ground in patches. The king was dead and the generals had surrendered. How dare they say anything like little shrimps.
call!
Seeing that the situation was one-sided, Marshal Canglong breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't fight if you can. If you insist on fighting, it will consume Datang's combat power.
The next scene was very harmonious. The surrendered soldiers filed out of Longzhou City and accepted the reorganization of the Western Expeditionary Army.
puff!
When Xiao Yuxian walked down the tower, she couldn't stand firm and coughed up blood on the spot.
King Hanjiang has good martial arts skills, so it’s a lie that she wasn’t injured in the fight with him.
"Mother." Li Zhaoyang hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
"You are too messy." Yun Lan also came like the wind and took the pills.
"It doesn't matter.
"Xiao Yuxian smiled tiredly, admitting that he was reckless.
However, the ending is very happy. If we really have to fight head-on, we will not be able to conquer this city in less than ten days and a half.
Well!
When Zhao Yun came down, he couldn't stand firmly and was holding on to the wall all the way.
After using force, his limbs became sore and weak, and his whole body became weak, which was the same old problem.
"Uncle Master." Mingyu rushed over with an arrow stuck in his shoulder. I don't know which bastard shot it. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have hit the front door.
"Is there wine?"
Zhao Yun covered his waist and sat on the stone steps.
This time he sat down, his eyes dimmed a lot, and his energy and blood were extremely sluggish.
The sequelae of the blood poison were causing his physical body to evolve towards a sick body.
Whoosh!
While Mingyu was getting the wine, a pigeon flew from afar and landed on the city wall.
It was a homing pigeon with a small note tied to its leg. It was covered in dust and kept croaking.
Marshal Canglong was closer. He walked over in two or three steps and took down the note.
When he spread it out and took a look, he couldn't help but frown despite his determination.
"The battle report from Beiyuan?" The queen staggered over regardless of her injuries.
"No, no." Marshal Canglong was in a hurry, and Ma Liu picked up the note.
Seeing this, the surrounding generals all came over. The marshal's behavior was very abnormal.
"Give it to me." Xiao Yuxian's eyes were not squinting, and there were only two words, quite majestic as the mother of the Tang Dynasty.
Marshal Canglong didn't dare to disobey his order, so he handed it over with a sigh.
The battle report, this is indeed a battle report from Beiyuan, but the content on it is bloody: the emperor was assassinated and his life was at stake. Yanmen Pass was also breached. The three armies of the King of Wei marched straight in and had already taken down the big army. There are more than a dozen cities in the Tang Dynasty.
puff!
When the queen saw it, she was furious, took another mouthful of blood, and fainted on the spot.
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhaoyang's face became as pale as paper.
The demeanor of the generals is not very good. They really underestimated the king of Wei. The emperor came to the border in person, but he was unable to withstand his offensive. Can all the princes and kings be so capable of fighting these days?
"Who is so awesome?" ????
The First Son in Yun Zhong murmured, and the eyes of Yun Lan and others were also uncertain.
In the whole world, if there is anyone who has the strictest guard around him, it is the Emperor.
They wanted to know what kind of masters King Wei sent to assassinate the emperor.
"Walk."
Zhao Yun threw away the wine bottle and stepped out of the city wall.
A goshawk spread its wings and caught it firmly.
Like him, marshals from all walks of life also jumped on the bird mounts. This thing is faster than a horse.
Speaking of horses, the cavalry of the Western Expedition Army also set off.
After that, came the infantry. Except for the 30,000 troops who stayed behind in Longzhou City, the rest, as many as they could, rushed toward Beiyuan.
"It's time to change the designation of the Western Expeditionary Army."
Marshal Canglong said this when he caught up with Zhao Yun.
King Hanjiang has committed suicide, the Western Region has been settled, and there is no talk of a Western expedition.
This time to rush to the north to help the king of Wei, it should be a legitimate Northern Expedition.
All the generals had no objection to his words and looked at Zhao Yun in tacit understanding.
Even if there is no imperial edict, they will unconditionally recognize him as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
"Okay." Zhao Yun refused.
Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.
Not for fame and fortune, just for peace in the world.
"Kill, kill for me."
In the north, war was raging, and the king of Wei howled so loudly that the ghosts and gods wept.
He was extremely excited, because of the confrontation in Beiyuan, his army
The Tang army was defeated across the board, and this was under the premise that the emperor was in charge.
There is no pride in defeating ordinary people.
But that person was the emperor, so the meaning was extremely extraordinary.
It was precisely because he was extraordinary that he felt a little elated. Even the emperor had been defeated by him. Who could compete with him in the whole world?
In fact, he was taking it a little too far.
If the soul of the wordless stele had not caused trouble, and if the emperor was safe and sound, he would never have been able to step through Yanmen Pass.
It doesn't matter what the truth is.
The important thing is that the more the rebels fight, the higher their morale becomes. Each one of them is extremely ferocious. Moreover, they all take it for granted that the King of Wei has defeated the emperor and has the potential to become the emperor.
And these signs have been accompanied by the defeat of the Tang army, and they are getting stronger and stronger.
"He is more promising than King Yang and King Hanjiang."
People, once the momentum becomes huge, the situation will be out of control.
For example, the remnants of King Yang and the hidden direct descendants of King Hanjiang all defected to King Wei in unison.
In addition, there are countless martial arts masters who are unwilling to be left alone.
Among them, including the three-eyed old devil, he lost a battle with Zhao Zilong and had to find a place to come back.
The current King of Wei is very suitable!
Among the three rebel princes, he has the strongest foundation and seems to be the most capable of fighting.
Without a few brushes, it would be impossible to defeat the Tang army with the emperor in charge.
“The more the merrier.”
All parties came to vote, making King Wei's self-confidence inflated to the extreme.
At this moment, he also has the capital to compete with the Tang Dynasty.
"His Majesty."
The guards guarding the emperor's retreat were calling him all the way.
The most anxious thing was the medical officers. The emperor was poisoned with a very strange poison. He just fell into a coma, and his internal energy was completely eliminated. To this day, all his limbs, bones, internal organs, and extraordinary meridians are all gone. has been eroded.
