After being kicked out by her ado...

Chapter 217 What did you say? Thirty thousand people died?

Outside the Chibei camp.

Tarhai stood in front of 30,000 soldiers and asked in a low voice, "Are you all ready?"

Deputy General Wu Ji said: "Reporting to the eldest prince, everything is ready.

I will lead my troops to launch a surprise attack tonight and will definitely open the gate of Zhiyi City.

By then, the eldest prince will be able to take over and capture Zhiyi City in one fell swoop! ”

When Tarhai thought of the outcome of the battle, he laughed out loud.

He patted Wu Ji on the shoulder and said, "The sneak attack tonight was successful. The position of General Hu Riwei will be yours, Wu Ji!"

There is no soldier in the world who doesn't want to be promoted, especially the position of General Chibei, which is even more enviable.

In the darkness, Wu Ji raised his eyes and they lit up for a moment.

"Thank you, Prince. Wuji will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

...

...

He turned to the soldiers and said, "Let's go!"

The 30,000-strong army of Chibei was heading towards Zhiyi City.

Little did they know that all this was under Xiao Jingzhou's surveillance.

He took off the telescope and said calmly, "Here it comes."

Gu Zhenbei and Yang Jin strode over.

Xiao Jingzhou asked: "Are you all ready?"

Gu Zhenbei stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

Yang Jin: "I am also finishing up here."

Xiao Jingzhou: "Let the people under the city return to the city immediately."

Yang Jin took out a bamboo whistle and blew it hard.

When the people below the city heard the noise, they immediately called everyone back to the city.

The soldiers below the city climbed up the city wall along the climbing ropes like ants climbing a tree.

The sound of horse hooves is too loud and can easily expose the target.

Wu Ji could only lead 30,000 people and march towards Zhiyi City on foot.

When he led his men closer to the city wall, he found that there were few lights on the wall and the soldiers guarding the city were standing far away.

He sneered in a low voice: “Prince Dajing is just like this, it seems that the news received by the eldest prince is good.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Zhiyi City, so this sneak attack will definitely be successful. ”

He raised his hand in the darkness, and the Chibei Army carrying ladders ran towards the city in an orderly manner.

He wanted to take advantage of the situation and kill all the Dajing troops guarding the city on the city wall.

The ladder was erected under the city wall, with the other end hitting the wall.

The Chibei Army began to climb up quickly along the ladders.

Wu Ji looked at Da Jingjun falling to the ground, unable to get up, and began to laugh without the shackles.

He raised the hammer in his hand and shouted, "Soldiers, open the city gates and welcome the Chibei army to break into Dajing City."

"Charge!"

The shouts in the dark inspired the blood of 30,000 soldiers.

They looked at the smoke rising from the chimneys above Zhiyi City, and their eyes were already red with greed.

"rush!"

The footsteps of thirty thousand people stepped on the flat ground, stirring up layer after layer of dust.

Many people smelled a sweet scent in the dust.

Wu Ji wondered: 'What's going on? '

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Before he could react, a whistle sounded from the city gate.

There were flashes of fire on the city walls.

The flames were moving at an extremely fast speed, chasing in a straight line down the city wall.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

The Chibei Army climbing the ladders had tinnitus from the intense bombardment.

He was not careful and fell to the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The fireworks rushed forward for dozens of meters, and more than a dozen people were connected together like candied haws by the strong impact.

The flour scattered under the city wall mixed with light soil and flew into the air under the trampling of 30,000 soldiers.

The fireworks exploded with fire and instantly caused an explosion.

Colorful fire clouds rose into the sky, creating brilliant light in the dark night.

Wu Ji rushed to the rear of the 30,000-strong army. His clothes had been shredded and his body was covered with charred wounds from the flames. A closer look revealed that the flesh inside had been turned inside out.

The cold wind blew, causing his hot body to shiver suddenly.

The discomfort of being in both ice and fire, coupled with the constant howling of ghosts and wolves for help in my ears.

When Wu Ji saw the scene, he even felt like he was in hell on earth.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat quickly!"

The Chibei Army had been blown over long ago and couldn't see the direction clearly at all.

Those who accidentally fall,

Xiao Jingzhou stood on the city wall, overlooking the dazzling fireworks show below the city.

At his feet lay Chibei Jun, blood flowing out.

Qi Hou led the Dajing Army and dragged all the corpses of the Chibei Army off the city wall, leaving behind pools of bright red blood.

Chibei set up camp.

The lights were on in the commander-in-chief's tent.

Tarsan was held on the chair by two big men, holding his shoulders, unable to move.

He said angrily: “Tarhai, you will regret your decision tonight, you will kill the soldiers who follow you.

You are not worthy to be their general! ”

Tarhai was leaning lazily on the bed, surrounded by three or four beautiful girls who were serving him, massaging his shoulders and back.

He took a bite of horse meat, and the greasy juice flowed from the corners of his mouth into his beard, emitting a shiny oily sheen.

Talhai chewed the horse meat in big mouthfuls and listened to Talsan's words as if he were listening to a pleasant song.

He pointed a horse bone at Tulsan and said, “The angrier you are, the more incompetent you are.

Curse, curse more.

From now on, I will find my brother back from Sangbu.

I think he would be willing to take the blame for you. ”

Tarsan said with a ferocious face: "How dare you!"

"Look, he's anxious."

"Hahaha, the bastard born of a slave is really not presentable."

Talhai wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks. He liked to see Talsan angry and resentful but unable to kill him.

In his eyes, Talsan's behavior was no different from a kitten being grabbed by the scruff of the neck and unable to move as soon as it stretched out its claws.

"You..." Talsan wanted to curse again.

The sound of fireworks exploding could be heard outside the tent, accompanied by loud explosions.

"Not good!" Talsan's face changed drastically.

He slumped down in a chair, mumbling, "It's over."

Seeing him like this, Tarhai cursed him and rushed out of the tent to check the situation.

"What's going on?"

"Reporting to the eldest prince, there was an explosion outside Zhiyi City."

The word 'explode' was enough to make Talhai's scalp tingle.

He didn't care about Talsang in the tent, broke out of the big man's shackles, and ran out of the commander-in-chief's tent.

The two of them headed straight for the outside of the Chibei camp.

On the other side, the tent of the Beiliang commander.

Xiahou Dun held a black jade chess piece in his hand and placed it on the chessboard with a click.

Deputy General Pei stood aside and watched him play the white chess pieces in his left hand and the black chess pieces in his right hand, all night long.

The explosion outside did not disrupt Xiahou Dun's thoughts at all.

He looked out of the tent frequently, but finally couldn't help but remind himself.

"Marshal, don't we need to send someone to check the situation?"

Xiahou Dun pretended not to hear anything and placed the white jade chess piece on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.

He withdrew his left hand and played with the black chess piece with his right hand, his eyes still on the chessboard.

He said calmly: "Tarhai is eager for success and will not learn his lesson unless he suffers a little.

The suffering we suffered this time will be huge, but it will be beneficial to our alliance in every way. ”

He messed up the chessboard: "The things in the Central Plains are really interesting."

Talhai and Talsan rushed to the outside of the Chibei military camp and saw fire under Zhiyi City.

The soldiers who went to gather information returned to the barracks.

"Report!"

"Not a single soldier among the 30,000 soldiers evacuated back to the camp."

Upon hearing the news, Talhai was furious.

"What did you say? Thirty thousand soldiers died?"

The spy looked sad: "General Wuji is dead too."

Bad news came one after another, and Talsan fell to the ground in an instant.

There was fire in Talhai's eyes and he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Tonight's surprise attack on Dajing City not only failed to get off to a good start, but also lost the morale of the troops who had made it possible to succeed.

Talhai's face was grim: "Prince Dajing, tomorrow is the day you die!"
