Chapter 398


Chapter 398 The arrows at the head of Jiancheng City rained down, and Lu Ji only blocked for a while, and the spirit armor on his shoulder was shattered, and a carved feather pierced deeply into the gap in his shoulder blade.

Lu Ji screamed in pain, didn't dare to delay any longer, turned the horse's head, fled in a hurry, and was defeated back to his own position.

When he saw Zhong Tian, Lu Ji turned over and dismounted, covered the arrow wound on his shoulder with one hand, and shouted urgently: "Great King, Qiu Yue, the city lord of Jiancheng, is so bold that he actually defected to the Tianyuan Army and refused our army to enter the city."

"This thief deserves death" Zhong Tian is not blind, he also saw Jian Cheng's arrow shooting Lu Ji just now, he gritted his teeth and cursed, turned his head sideways to fight Wushuang and said: "Wushuang General, Jian Cheng does not have many troops, we should attack the city in one go" Zhan Wushuang stared at the city in front of him and was silent for a long time.

It can be seen that the strength of Jiancheng is not much, but the city defense is very perfect, not only the city wall is high, but there is also a wide moat outside, the soldiers on their side are currently tired, and there is no large-scale siege weapon in the army, even if it can attack Jiancheng, I am afraid that it will increase a lot of casualties, and it will have to delay a lot of time.

After thinking about it, he looked at Shang Zhongtian and said faintly: "The courtiers of the king are really eye-opening."

This sentence made Zhong Tian's face redden, and the surrounding Pengchen generals also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Zhan Wushuang didn't care what Zhong Tian and the others thought, and immediately ordered: "Bypass Jian Cheng and continue to retreat south" Afraid of increasing his own losses, and afraid that the Tianyuan Army in the rear would chase after him, Zhan Wushuang did not use a knife or a shot against Jian Cheng, and chose to go around the city directly.

Originally, people planned to enter Jian City to have a good rest, but they didn't even have time to eat.

After crossing Jian City, Zhan Wushuang, who had finished his patrol in the army, caught up with Zhan Wushuang and said in a low voice: "Big brother, it's not a way to go on like this, the soldiers have been fighting for two days and one night, and they haven't eaten a mouthful, and if they run again, I'm afraid that they will die of exhaustion if they are tired."

Without waiting for Zhan Wushuang to speak, Zhong Tian on the side swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said, "Why don't we stop and rest and leave again Now that it is almost dark, presumably the Tianyuan Army will not dare to catch up rashly." ” "En" Zhan Wushuang pondered for a moment, feeling that what Zhan Wushuang and Zhong Tian said was right, by now, even he was exhausted, thirsty and hungry, and the soldiers below could be imagined.

He nodded and asked Zhong Tiandao: "What is the place ahead?"

Regarding the terrain of the Wind Country, he was far less familiar with it than Zhong Tian.

"If you want to walk three hundred miles ahead is the Textile City, after the Textile City, it is the Baguan, as long as we get to the Baguan, we can retreat to the territory of Mozambique at any time" Before Zhong Tian finished speaking, Zhan Wushuang waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm asking if there is a hiding place in front of Jun Shang to allow our army to rest." ” "This" Zhong Tian frowned, what kind of terrain was ahead, he didn't know very well.

Zhong Tian turned around and called a Peng general who was familiar with the terrain and asked, "Is there a suitable place for our army to rest ahead?"

General Na Peng thought for a moment and said: "Ten miles ahead, there is a forest next to the official road, although it is not big, but it is enough to accommodate our army. ” Zhan Wushuang sighed, rolled his eyes, raised his head and said, "Okay, our army will go to rest in the forest." ” The Peng general was right, after walking forward for more than ten miles, there was indeed a black and oppressive woodland under the official road.

At this time, it was already dark, people couldn't see how big the woodland was, and when they got closer, they felt that the forest was not small, Zhan Wushuang pondered for a while, and said: "Our army is all in the forest to rest, if the enemy army does not dare to come, if you dare to chase and kill, our army can just rely on the woodland here to ambush the other party."

Zhan Wushuang is good at commanding troops, and he is also good at taking advantage of the surrounding environment, this forest is of moderate size, and it is close to the official road, plus the sky is dark tonight, it is a good cover for an ambush.

Zhan Invincible smiled after hearing this, nodded again and again, and responded: "According to the opinion of the eldest brother" Under the order of Zhan Wushuang, the Ning army entered the woods and rested while also making an ambush.

On the other side, the Tianyuan Army commanded by Tang Yin arrived in Jiancheng.

Qiu Yue, the city lord of Jiancheng, stood on the city tower and raised his eyes to look, although the sky was dark, but the Tianyuan army was full of torches, one in each hand, illuminating the whole army as bright as day, looking from afar, it seemed to be a huge fire dragon winding in the dark night.

Looking ahead, in front of the Tianyuan army is all light cavalry, the armor of the soldiers is unified and neat, black helmets and black armor, red tassels on their heads, stepping off the black war horses, all majestic, morale is high, looking back, it is all infantry, the armor is no different from the cavalry, the number of people, boundless, the momentum is like a grandeur, devouring the heaven and earth.

After reading it, Qiu Yue couldn't help but grin secretly, fortunately, she listened to the advice of her subordinates and did not become an enemy of the Tianyuan Army, otherwise, with her small Jian City, how could she resist so many Tianyuan Army.

He swallowed and foamed, hurriedly turned around and ran down the city wall, and asked the city to open and welcome the Tianyuan army into the city.

With the sound of squeaks, the Jiancheng suspension bridge fell, the city gate slowly opened, and the Jiancheng officials and soldiers led by Qiu Yue went out of the city one after another, and a large group stood outside the Jiancheng gate in a black and dense manner.

Tang Yin in the Tianyuan army saw it clearly, and smiled at the generals on the left and right: "Qiu Yue really understands things and surrenders to our army."

As he spoke, he urged his horse and quickly stepped forward.

Seeing this, Ziying hurriedly caught up with Tang Yin, and persuaded in a low voice while looking at the situation inside and outside Jian City: "My lord, be careful of deception."

"Hehe, he didn't dare to lend him courage."

Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and smiled confidently.

Soon, he walked to the door of Jian Cheng, sat on the horse and did not come down immediately, looked down at the people in front of him, and said loudly: "I am Tang Yin, you are" Ah, Qiu Yue, who was standing at the front of the crowd, took a breath.

He had seen Tang Yin before, that time it was Tang Yin who went to Baguan to escort the princess of the empire, passing through Jiancheng, but after all, it was a long time ago, and Tang Yin was only a corps commander at that time, Qiu Yue had already forgotten him.

At this time, he shivered, and before he could speak, he first knelt in front of Tang Yin's horse, and at the same time raised the small box in his hand upwards and said, "Sinner Qiu Yue, I have seen Lord Tang."

Qiu Yue took the initiative to kneel, and the officials of Jiancheng and many soldiers behind him also knelt on the ground, and the sound of hula was connected.

It is not wrong for him to claim to be a criminal minister, after Zhong Tian usurped the throne, he accepted Zhong Tian, the monarch of the Peng Kingdom, with a tacit attitude, and now that Tang Yin has commanded the Tianyuan Army to basically recover the Feng Kingdom, he naturally cannot escape the blame.

Tang Yin looked down at Qiu Yue, this is a typical wall-top grass, upside down on both sides.

When Zhong Tian was in power, he was loyal to Zhong Tian, and now that he is in power, he has turned to his side, for such a capricious person, Tang Yin looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, if it was his former surname, he would immediately choose to execute Qiu Yue, but now he is much more mature, and he also understands the truth that everything should be based on the overall situation.

If Qiu Yue is executed now, then whoever dares to defect to himself in the future will have chaos in those counties that have returned to Shunfeng Country, so even if he is dissatisfied with Qiu Yue, he will have to hold back for the time being, and wait for the overall situation to completely stabilize before settling accounts with him.

After a pause for a few seconds, Tang Yin turned over and dismounted, helped Qiu Yue up with a smile, and said: "Lord Qiu can repent in time and abandon Zhong Tian, not only is it not wrong, but he is also the hero of my gale, please get up quickly."

"Lord Tang" didn't know if Qiu Yue was really moved or pretended, so he just squeezed out a few old tears.

Tang Yin sneered in his heart, but there was no show on his face, and he waved his hand to the others and said, "Everyone should get up too."

"Lord Xie Tang" The officials and soldiers of Jian Cheng thanked each other and stood up.

Tang Yin's gaze fell on the small brocade box held by Qiu Yue, and asked, "Lord Qiu, what is this?"

Qiu Yue opened the lid of the small box, which contained an official seal, and he said in a trembling voice: "The lower official knows that he is deeply responsible and cannot make up for it, so he is willing to hand over the official seal of the city lord and ask Lord Tang to send it down." ” "Oh" Tang Yin responded, pushed back the box in Qiu Yue's hand, and said: "I have already said just now, Lord Qiu can repent in time, only merit, no fault, official seal, Lord Qiu should take it back, continue to stay as the city lord of Jiancheng, and after destroying the national thieves, I will report to the court and give Lord Qiu a reward." ” "Thank you Lord Tang for your kindness, thank you Lord Tang for your great kindness, your subordinates are unforgettable."

After listening to Tang Yin's words, Qiu Yue's heart finally fell when he mentioned his throat.

He knelt on the ground again and gave Tang Yin a big salute.

Tang Yin is a good person to the end, stretched out his hand to help Qiu Yue up, and said, "Lord Qiu, don't be polite anymore." ” "Please Lord Tang into the city to rest, please" Qiu Yue's eyebrows fluttered excitedly, and even her voice trembled violently.

He turned sideways and let Tang Yin enter the city one after another.

Tang Yin was also not polite, and walked into Jian City side by side with Qiu Yue.

Shangguan Yuanrang, Yuan Wu, Yuan Biao and others followed closely behind Tang Yin, not daring to leave for a moment, it seemed that Qiu Yue was very honest, and he looked like he was sincerely obedient, in fact, who knew what the hell he was thinking in his heart, in case there was an ambush or assassin in the city, and suddenly attacked Tang Yin, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tang Yin didn't care, at least on the surface, he looked relaxed and casual, and while walking into the city, he talked and laughed with Qiu Yue, who was walking with him, and asked: "I heard that the national thief Zhong Tian has bypassed Jian City and ran in the direction of Textile City."

"Yes, my lord" Qiu Yue came to the spirit this time, and said with a smile: "When Zhong Tian arrived in Jiancheng, he still wanted to let the subordinate into the city, but the subordinate was already bent on the wind, how could he allow this national thief to enter the city, the subordinate ordered on the spot, and shot him with arrows, but unfortunately Zhong Tian ran fast and failed to hurt him."

Along the way, Qiu Yue talked endlessly, talking about how he was interested in the wind and how he hated Zhong Tian's actions, while Tang Yin always smiled and did not interject.

On the surface alone, it was difficult to tell whether he liked or hated Qiu Yue
