Chapter 534 Zhu Mingqing's Counterattack
"General, it's time!"
A voice came from behind.
Yu Guangping's brows relaxed. "Alright, it probably won't be long before the Luo army returns. Let's just wait for good news!"
Moreover, if this ditch is used properly, it may be useful again.
Yu Guangping seemed to hear wailing in the distance.
But half an hour later, none of the soldiers who went to investigate at the foot of the mountain came back.
He frowned: "Send more people, go quickly and come back quickly!"
Another half hour passed.
Finally, a soldier ran back, panting, "General, Jizhou City is safe and sound! The soldiers we sent to guard the river have all disappeared! And the mountain torrents have all been diverted, flowing towards that valley!"
He pointed to the front right, where there was clearly a large sunken valley that could easily accommodate the released floodwaters.
Yu Guangping immediately shouted: "Impossible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
Looking at the soldiers on the opposite side, their faces were terrified.
Yu Guangping slowly lowered his head and found an arrow stuck in his chest. Because of its fast speed, the tail of the arrow was trembling slightly.
Yu Guangping's body gradually fell backwards.
"General!"
The soldiers rushed forward in fear, some calling for a doctor, some chasing the thieves.
There was chaos in the Nanxia military camp.
Zhu Mingqing retracted his bow and arrow and stayed in the fairy palace for a day and a night. Outside, people were still coming and going in the search.
She was not in a hurry to leave, so she simply lived in the fairy palace.
"Qingqing, good news!" the little world spirit suddenly said.
Zhu Mingqing's eyes rolled: "Has the favorability increased?"
The little world spirit was surprised: "How did you know?"
These days, Zhu Mingqing has gradually found some clues about the restoration of the Immortal Palace. The first thing he does is to collect the favorability of every citizen, but the number of people in Nanxia is always limited.
What if you want to collect hundreds of millions of favorability points in the future?
This brings us to the second method.
To win over talented people, they must be those who will have a significant impact on the people in the future.
"Yu Guangping shouldn't be dead, right?" She deliberately controlled her strength, so as to cause panic in the Nanxia military camp while preventing Yu Guangping from recovering quickly.
This person controls the lives of many people and has a significant impact on the people, but since he is not dead, where does his favorability come from?
The little world spirit chuckled, "That General Yu... No, he's not a general anymore!"
"kindness?"
"Someone just came from the capital with an imperial decree, deposing Yu Guangping as commander-in-chief and demanding he hand over the tiger talisman."
The Nanxia military camp at this time.
Yu Guangping was still somewhat conscious, but not completely sober.
He thought that the imperial edict was a dream he had because he was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so he directly ordered the man to be beheaded.
But he found that no one in the room moved, and the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict even mocked him, "General Yu, I'm sorry!"
With a command, he ordered people to start searching the room for the whereabouts of the tiger talisman.
Until he was lifted up, even the bed under him was not spared.
Yu Guangping then realized that His Majesty really no longer trusted him.
He closed his eyes and passed out.
"General!"
Luo family camp.
It was already the afternoon of the next day when Luo Tingshan learned about this.
He looked shocked: "I don't know whether Yu Guangping is alive or dead?"
Luo Huai nodded slightly: "Dad, now is a good time to attack!"
…
Just when everyone in the Nanxia military camp was in a panic because of Yu Guangping and the decree from the capital, they were suddenly attacked by the Luo family army.
At this time, Yu Guangping was unconscious, and the deputy generals were arguing endlessly. Some advocated fighting, while others advocated temporarily avoiding the attack.
"I don't care how the generals prepare to fight, but the Luo family army must be repelled. This is the order of His Majesty!" The eunuch who delivered the order spoke in a serious voice.
Lieutenant General Chen wanted to punch the eunuch who was jumping up and down, and couldn't help but shout, "If you have the guts, go and fight him off. If you can really do it, we will definitely make you our commander-in-chief. What do you think?"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict fell silent.
Especially the generals at the scene looked at him with greedy eyes, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.
He whispered, "I am just conveying His Majesty's order!"
But he didn't know that the most annoying thing right now was to confirm His Majesty's decree.
Especially since Your Majesty hasn't provided supplies for many days, and you still want them to win the battle, that's wishful thinking!
But the enemy is right in front of us, and no matter how unwilling we are, we have no choice but to face them.
The general who went into battle this time was an inconspicuous general named Qi, with a fair face and no beard, dressed in a long gown, a true Confucian general.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was relieved.
I slept soundly that night, but others had dark circles under their eyes from staying up late and felt listless the next day.
No one knows what news will come today.
What is the loss?
"Are you generals too worried? We have an army of 100,000 men, and I heard the Luo family's army only has 30,000 men, three times as many. Why are you still so worried?"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict walked into the tent and saw that they had no appetite, so he tried to comfort them.
He also knew that the Luo family army was not easy to defeat, but with 100,000 troops fighting against 30,000, the chance of failure was really small.
But he didn't know that some people are born to create myths.
“I’m back!”
Suddenly there was a scream from outside.
Everyone immediately stood up and ran outside.
There was no sign of the 30,000-strong army and General Qi who were leaving, only the sound of a horse galloping past.
There was also a letter on the horse's back.
Everyone already had bad guesses in their minds.
But how could it be possible after only one night?
But the content of the letter clearly told them that all 30,000 troops had indeed been captured!
Even General Qi was kidnapped by that brat Luo Huai!
“How could this be!”
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict exclaimed, his fingers trembling and he couldn't even hold the letter.
Lieutenant General Chen clenched his fists, rushed back to the room, grabbed his weapon, and jumped on his horse: "I'm going to fight them!"
"Old Chen, you can't do that!"
Someone immediately stopped in front of the horse.
Others also stepped forward to persuade them that if they did not plan carefully and acted impulsively, the 100,000-strong army would probably be lost here.
“Woo—”
Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from a high platform in the distance, and a horn was blown.
"Enemy attack!"
"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was extremely panicked and immediately ordered people to escort him to a safe place.
But no one cared about him at this time, and they all left the camp to fight the enemy.
Luo's army arrived suddenly and these people were completely unprepared.
After all, no one would have thought that a mere 30,000 troops would dare to charge into the camp of their own 70,000-strong army.
If this isn't suicide, what is?
"Old Chen, we can't take it anymore! These Luo family soldiers are like they don't care about their lives. They are too strong!"
"Fight to the death, everyone!"
"No retreat!"
On the battlefield, the already suppressed Nanxia army camp had already begun to think of retreating, and coupled with fear, even with the promise of official positions and titles in front of them, they still retreated step by step.
Three days later.
Yuzhou lost three cities again.
The Nanxia military camp had retreated to the Yellow River and had nowhere to retreat.
This is the last natural line of defense close to the capital. If it is lost, the Luo family army will be able to march south and capture the capital as if entering an empty land!
Even if I die in battle, I cannot retreat a single step.
The original army of 100,000 has now become 50,000.
If those 50,000 people had died on the battlefield, Emperor Kaiyuan would not have been so angry.
The key point is that almost all of the 50,000 troops who disappeared were captured and incorporated into the Luo family army!
How can I not be angry!
