Chapter 21: The Battle of the Dragons
Chapter 21: The Dragons Fighting First Section
The fierce battle in Beiguan City lasted for five hours
Zheng's army was killed or injured by more than 300,000, most of them were surrounded by the Soul Army and could not leave the camp. They were buried alive in the sea of fire.
More than 80,000 prisoners were captured. Although the remaining ones escaped, they were defeated and fled. They each escaped and did not form an army.
Shaoyuan plans to leave 50,000 troops in Beiguan City, and commander Zhao Tian prevented Zheng State from following their practices, directly breaking through the pass and attacking the old Zhou, and driving straight into Beiyin City.
The remaining 600,000 people were all led by Shaoyuan and rushed to Zhengdu.
"Everyone speed up and don't be knocked down by fatigue. There are no soldiers in Zhengzhou that can resist us. Kill the Zhengdu and join the sect leader to kill the Zhengdu. There are countless beauties and countless delicacies. Don't you all eat Guru fruit and eat them? Don't you want to have more beautiful female slaves? There are all these in Zhengdu."
Only the soldiers and horses from the north shouted excitedly to agree. Seeing that the Divine Soul Army was indifferent, Zhao Ji couldn't help but remind Shao Yuan, "It's against the sect's rules when saying such words."
"Oh - boost morale during special times, the old soul and will pursuer doesn't care about eating Guru fruit every meal, but the soldiers in the North are tired of eating it, and I'm tired of it. If it weren't for the war, I wouldn't have enough roasted lamb."
Zhao Ji had no choice but to remain silent
Knowing that at the beginning, the people who entered the Taoist world in the North could not accept the rules of the Divine Soul Sect were angry and felt that the property that belonged to them became public, and they could not eat it as soon as they wanted to eat it. They also needed to exchange it for belief. Those beliefs made people eat more than the Guru fruit every meal, but they were far from enough to eat meat every meal.
It was not until the war started that the injustice in the soldiers and horses in the north disappeared a lot, because they witnessed the fierce and fearless spirit of the soul and will pursuers in the battle, and they all admired themselves in secret.
When the Zheng army in Beiguan attacked the old Zhou city for the first time, a pit was smashed by a catapult on the city tower, making it impossible for the defenders to fight on the edge to shoot and attack the Zheng army climbing along the ladder.
Just as everyone was worried, many elderly soul and will seekers on the city tower jumped into the broken sink one by one and all of them were buried on the ground, and then let the other people who jumped down fall directly on their backs, leaning against themselves and filling the trap with their flesh and blood.
This group's suicide attempt to win, let alone the soldiers in the north, even the Zheng army they witnessed were staring blankly. It was hard to believe that there was such an army in the world that was not afraid of death.
At that time, the soldiers in the North admired those weak soul-will pursuers who were despised in their past, and felt that it was natural to eat the fatty meat that belonged to them with them.
Not afraid of death, true not afraid of death
Every time the city tower is destroyed, the soul will pursuers will commit suicide in groups. Every time the Zheng army's ladder is climbing, the soul will pursuers will sacrifice themselves to jump onto the ladder, push down the ladder, and exchange their lives for dozens of lives of the enemy.
The reason why the Zheng army failed to capture the old Zhou was because of the fierce fighting spirit of the soul and will pursuers. The Zheng army's warriors could not climb to the city tower through the ladder. The Zheng army's trench plane could not destroy the city wall and the defenders could not defend the gap.
The warriors in the Northland have been recognized by the soul and will seekers from that time and are willing to get close to them.
Shaoyuan led the army to a great force, and the empty Zheng State had no military force to resist their offensive.
When the King of Zheng, who was in Zhengdu received the military information sent by the defeated army, he collapsed on the throne with a gray face.
All the Chinese and civil and military officials in Zheng State were frightened and frightened, and they all made suggestions, advising King Zheng to lead all officials to leave Zhengdu and to inspect the war situation on the front line, which was actually just to escape from the capital and seek protection from the front line army.
At first, King Zheng was unwilling to make the decision to give up the capital and go out to escape. However, the combined statistics of the military forces of various places in the country, only 30,000 were able to arrive in time to support, and they could not resist the east and the hundreds of thousands of souls from the north. There were not many Chinese civil and military soldiers from the north. They kept persuading them all over the day, from the empress dowager to the concubines and eunuchs and maids, they packed up their clothes and waited for the escape.
The next day, I received another military information report, saying that the Divine Soul Army traveled 500 miles a day
King Zheng finally ordered the abandonment of the capital in a terrified manner
The merchants who received the news from Zhengdu had already left Zhengdu to escape with their wealth. All the people could leave. The Chinese military guards of the court protected Zhengwang and left the palace. Seeing the unusual depression in Zhengdu, Zhengwang remembered his ambition and the prestige of Zhengguo. In his current situation, he couldn't help but feel full of pain and could not help crying in the carriage.
When the brigade passed by Zuo Shuchang's mansion, soldiers came to report to Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou, and Princess Tianlai led the guards in the mansion to wear them, waiting in front, hoping to protect King Zheng's trip.
Someone dissuaded King Zheng and said, "At this moment, you must be careful."
Zheng Wang also knew how powerful Zuo Shuchang and Ling Luo were, so he asked the masters of Feixian Sect to protect his car and let the guards in the mansion led by Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou and others walk behind, and do not get close to Wang Jia.
Yue Fei, who was riding with King Zheng in the carriage, was very unhappy and advised him, "Your Majesty, it is better to let Zuo Shuchang protect him from the king's carriage."
"In a special period, the queen, please understand my king's considerations. As the saying goes, the heart of being guarded against others is necessary."
Yue Fei sighed and said, "At least one of Xinhou or Zuo Shuchang is slightly closer to the king's chariot. If you have these two people, you can protect the king from tens of thousands."
King Zheng didn't want to go too far with Yue Fei's intentions, and wanted to pretend to be generous, so he said, "Okay, then let Xinhou go to the squadron to stand by."
Speaking of the command, General Zheng ran to the rear team. After Ling Luo heard this, he was about to persuade his father to go to the squadron. Zuo Shuchang had to go, but both fathers and sons knew that if the Soul Army chased, the last team would have to be responsible for the rear. When the argument was too late, General Zheng smiled sarcastically and said, "The Lord's order is very clear, Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou seem to have not understood it--"
Ling Luo hurriedly said, "President Zheng is in charge of the matter, and Zuo Shuzong protects His Majesty for safety, so..."
Zuo Shuchang stopped him and said, "Although my son is extremely skilled in martial arts, he is not able to face thousands of troops and horses without moving. It is not suitable for you to do this marching route that takes many canyon roads. At that time, the chasing of the latter must prevent the pursuit of the soul army from passing. My son asked himself if he could do it?"
Ling Luo then sighed and said, "So, father's heart."
Then she wanted to go with Princess Tianlai. General Manager Zheng stopped Zheng Wang and let Ling Luo go to the squadron alone, so Princess Tianlai had to stay.
