"Report!"
"We are still fifty miles away from Linzi."
"Spies ahead report that the rebels have breached the city!"
"It's still a little slow..."
Ning Que frowned.
Turned around and looked at Tie Niu.
They hurried along the way.
Unexpectedly, I was still half a step slower.
"Pass on the king's orders!"
"Linzi is right before our eyes!"
"March at full speed at all costs!"
"Tie Niu, you stay here and take charge of the support and care."
"I will lead the cavalry there first."
"Your Highness, I'm afraid we don't have enough men?" Tie Niu looked surprised and quickly tried to dissuade him, "We came back in a hurry this time. Counting the troops we recruited along the way, we only have a thousand or so cavalrymen. Tian Zhongxun claims to have an army of 300,000. If anything goes wrong..."
"No problem!"
Ning Que was quite persistent.
Sometimes, quality of troops is more important than quantity.
More than a thousand cavalrymen are more than enough.
He also had no intention of engaging in a head-on fight with the State of Qi.
Use cavalry to cut through the battlefield and harass the rebels' rear.
By the time he had almost finished fighting, the main army had arrived.
Linzi City has been broken.
Even with Yue Zhongmu around, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
He had to get there as soon as possible.
If Shen Qinghe makes any mistake, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
Tie Niu knew that he couldn't persuade Ning Que.
"Okay, I'll go and notify them now."
"Um."
Ning Que held the Overlord Spear behind his back with one hand.
Riding a horse and rushing to the front.
Behind him was a huge cavalry.
Thousands of cavalrymen marched on the official road.
Raising a lot of dust.
Tie Niu led the troops to charge behind.
"Everyone listen!"
"Five more miles to go!"
"Run at full speed, no rest!"
"Once you rescue the princess, I'll personally stew the meat and pour the wine for you!"
"Great Commander!"
"explain."
"I'm a little nervous and I need to pee."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Go, go!" Tie Niu said helplessly, "Those who need help will find a way to catch up, and the rest of you keep running. Whoever gets there first will be made a centurion!"
"yes!!!"
The roar echoed across the plain.
Each one of them is like a shot of chicken blood.
A full fifty miles...
At this moment, Tie Niu was scared.
The normal march is no more than fifty miles a day.
They had already been marching all night, with little rest. If the remaining fifty miles were included, their march would exceed a hundred miles. This was accomplished entirely on foot, a record indeed!
…
"All of you charge at me!"
"If anyone is killed, this king will reward him!"
"Don't be soft-hearted. Linzi City is full of rebels. Even the elderly, the weak, women, and children could harm you. Kill anyone you see!"
Tian Zhongxun was guarding the city gate.
He raised the sword high in his hand and roared.
Tian Ce charged at the front.
Fight hard with your personal guards.
The rivers flowing in the city have been dyed red with blood.
Countless civilians brandished their weapons and engaged the enemy in close combat. Although the rebels were all furious, they were extremely cautious.
The city is full of traps.
From time to time, someone rushed out of the room.
Some even attacked from the rooftops.
Their close combat capabilities are indeed somewhat lacking.
However, they are very skilled in using bows and crossbows for sneak attacks.
This is actually all thanks to Tian Zhongxun.
Military service was compulsory in the three counties of Qi.
When serving in the military, one learns about various weapons.
They are like reserves.
Although he is not a professional soldier, he is almost the same.
They used bows and crossbows to ambush and cause many casualties.
The key is that it is hard to guard against!
There are already many houses in the city.
There were also many traps dug at the door.
Some people had just kicked open the door when bamboo thorns shot out.
After they broke in, there was another rain of arrows.
In addition, there are many secret passages in each house.
These were all dug out by the wealthy Tian family with great effort.
Now it is being used by the defenders in the city.
Thanks to the tunnels, he can appear and disappear like a ghost.
The rebels were killed and fled in panic.
Of course, the disparity in military strength between the two sides was still too great.
The rebels are still advancing steadily.
It's only a few miles away from the palace.
You can even see the palace in the distance.
Tian Ce was furious and kept roaring.
He was covered in many arrow wounds.
However, he still charged to the front.
Although Tian Ce wasn't a crown prince, he had diligently practiced martial arts since childhood. While he lacked literary talent, he was a skilled commander of troops in battle. This time, he led the charge, personally leading the charge and repeatedly defeating the defenders.
"Commander Bai."
"Now it's your turn to contribute."
Yue Zhongmu breathed a sigh of relief. "They've been trapped and killed in the city. Now there are enemy troops everywhere. Whether we can defend the palace depends on your guards. You leave 5,000 men behind, and the rest are up to you. Since they are the elite, then pick on their elite!"
"promise!"
Bai Yu stood up firmly.
He mounted his horse and led his guards to fight against the rebels.
Yue Zhongmu was sitting in front of the palace gate.
Simple fortifications have been built here.
There are all kinds of weapons densely packed.
Stone cannons, bed crossbows, crossbow carts... everything you can think of!
"Junior Brother Yue, what's the situation?"
"Not good." Yue Zhongmu shook his head and whispered, "The enemy's speed is faster than I expected. Tian Zhongxun has risked everything and is attacking at all costs. It's been quite difficult for them to hold out until now."
