Chapter 59 Siege
Escaped!
Cao Chun frowned slightly, feeling a little regretful.
Pity!
In this battle, he took the initiative and had an absolute advantage, but Chu Zhuang still escaped.
It really shouldn't be.
However, Chu Zhuang's escape may not be a bad thing.
Chu Zhuang was the commander-in-chief of the imperial army.
Command an army of 800,000.
If he died, the imperial court would not only be furious, but would also be more wary of Ye Jiuxing and would dispatch more troops and strong men to launch the final battle in advance.
There is an old saying that goes, learn to boil the frog in warm water!
The Dayu Dynasty lost two battles.
But the foundation is still there, and it is not time to launch a decisive battle yet.
Cao Chun thought about it and set his sights on the Wind Controlling Divine Army in the canyon. There were less than 30,000 of them left. With a flash of hostility in his eyes, he ordered in a cold voice, "Kill! Don't spare any of them!"
The Dayu court attached great importance to the selection of personnel for the three top legions.
In addition to looking at strength, loyalty must also be tested.
It is impossible to win back these people.
Accepting surrender would not only waste food, but also leave hidden dangers.
The best way is to kill it.
kill!
In fact, it is to solve a difficult problem at the lowest cost!
"kill!"
The sound of killing was loud.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, covered in blood, waved their weapons again, splashing blood all over the sky, and charged towards the Wind Controlling God Army.
They did not charge forward all at once, but made full use of the terrain, charging in groups of hundreds. After a fierce battle in the canyon, they immediately retreated.
Then the second team rushed out and started fighting.
The cooperation is quite tacit.
"Damn it!"
"They are using us to train their troops!"
A soldier from the Wind Controlling God Army saw the intention clearly and roared with gnashed teeth.
But how?
Man is a knife, I am a fish!
They could only fight passively, using all their strength and dragging someone down with them.
Cao Chun rode on a dragon horse, standing at the back, watching the fighting in the canyon, with a thick blood mist constantly gushing out.
Cao Chun looked for a while, then looked away and towards the east. At this time, the sun was rising in the east, casting soft light, illuminating the world. All things were reviving and looked prosperous.
What a beautiful weather!
Login.
Bai Qi still led his army to surround the city but did not launch an attack.
He is waiting!
Wait for Cao Chun to eliminate the reinforcements!
"drive!"
Just then, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds was heard.
A scout rode into the camp on a warhorse and came to the central camp, reporting loudly: "General, we can launch an attack!"
Sitting on the chair, Bai Qi closed his eyes and rested.
After hearing the scout's report, he suddenly opened his eyes and two rays of blood shot out, which were the materialized murderous aura.
This murderous aura lasted for more than ten breaths before disappearing.
Bai Qi ordered: "Send an order to summon all the generals to discuss the attack on Luojing!"
"As ordered!"
The soldier guarding outside the door left.
After a while, generals wearing armor and holding weapons, with murderous aura around them, walked out from the major camps and headed towards the central camp.
A war is about to break out!
In Luojing City.
Zhao Zun stayed on the city wall, looking south, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
"Calculate the time, it's about time!"
As noon approached, Zhao Zun became a little restless. He knew nothing about military affairs, but even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run and knew that a lot of time had passed.
The Wind Controlling Army is a top-level legion!
The cavalry again!
The marching speed is extremely fast! Logically speaking, we should have arrived this morning, and even if there were some delays on the road, we would still be able to arrive before noon.
Why is there still no news until now?
Zhao Zun felt a little uneasy. He walked to General Cheng and asked in a serious tone, "When do you think the reinforcements will arrive?"
General Cheng was silent for a while, then he slowly said, "If there were reinforcements, they would have come long ago!"
Zhao Zun's pupils suddenly shrank.
What do you mean?
If I don’t come now, does that mean I will never come?
General Cheng stared into the distance and said faintly, "General Chu and his men must be in trouble! I hope they can repel the enemy! City Lord, be prepared to live and die with the city!"
After saying this, he held the sword at his waist and went on patrol.
Zhao Zun stood there, his expression changing. The sun was shining brightly and the air was hot, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all, as if he was in an ice cave.
He rubbed his hands and looked outside the city again, only to find that the enemy was still surrounding the city but not attacking, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no movement in the enemy camp.
That means the worst thing has not happened yet.
Available soon.
Zhao Zun's last bit of hope was extinguished.
After noon, the enemy troops outside the city began to mobilize frequently. Bai Qi even led the elite Qin soldiers and personally came to the outside of Luojing City, assuming an offensive posture.
Bai Qi rode his warhorse a few steps forward and said in a cold voice: "I have good news for you. The Wind Controlling Army has been completely annihilated, and Chu Zhuang has escaped with serious injuries and is nowhere to be found!"
"From now on, Luojing becomes an isolated city with no more reinforcements!"
The voice was loud and resounding throughout the city of Luojing.
"what?"
Many soldiers changed color and became panic-stricken.
The reinforcements are gone!
So what do they do?
Many people looked towards the city wall, as if seeking confirmation.
Zhao Zun's heart sank and he almost fell down.
Sure enough something happened!
However, in this critical moment, he must remain calm and not show any cowardice. Otherwise, the morale of the army will collapse and Luojing City will be really finished.
"There is nothing!"
Zhao Zun took a step forward, hiding the panic in his eyes, and said loudly: "Soldiers, don't be fooled by the enemy! General Chu is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. He is invincible and has conquered every battle. How could he be defeated?"
"The Wind Controlling Divine Army is a top-level army that can rival Saint Realm warriors. How could the entire army be defeated?"
The words are not finished yet.
Bai Qi just waved his right hand, and several carts of corpses were pushed out. They were wearing special armor and were neatly placed outside the city.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of the soldiers defending Luojing.
"That's General Zhao's body!"
"And General Liu. I used to be a soldier under him, and later General Liu was promoted to deputy general of the Wind Controlling Divine Army!"
"These people are all generals of the Wind Controlling Divine Army."
Many exclamations rang out.
The faces of many soldiers also turned pale little by little at this moment.
Military morale!
Morale!
It collapsed in an instant!
Endless fear arose in everyone's heart. Can they really win?
The Wind Controlling Army was defeated!
Even the Marquis of Zhenguo Chuzhuang was defeated!
This is the celebrity effect. Chu Zhuang and the Yufeng God Army are so famous that in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, they are a banner of invincibility and victory, and also a belief in victory.
With Chu Zhuang and the Yufeng God Army present, their morale is naturally high and they can exert multiple times their combat power.
But Chuzhuang was defeated.
The negative impact was undoubtedly devastating, giving people a feeling of the sky falling and the earth collapsing.
In this regard.
Zhao Zun was full of anxiety, but he had no good solution, so he looked at General Cheng.
Professional matters should be done by dedicated people.
General Cheng's mouth twitched.
Why did you go early?
If someone had been sent to warn them at the beginning, perhaps the Wind Controlling Army would not have been destroyed.
As long as the Wind Controlling Divine Army is not destroyed, even if it fails to provide timely support, it can still pose an invisible deterrent to the enemy.
