Chapter 876: Convergence
After Gan Luo and a special soldier left Handan City, they ran towards Shunde. This was the city where they were last time. No trace of the large group of people was found there, so this road was safe. .
It's just that they went to Shunde, which took two days to go back and forth, so except for letting the horses rest, they basically spent the time on horses.
Sometimes I was too tired, so I would tie myself to the horse and fall asleep directly on the horse.
On the other side, after the hot air balloon took off, it only flew ten miles before discovering traces of 50,000 people.
At the same time, the hot air balloon flying in the sky was also discovered by 50,000 troops, which caused a commotion in the army.
After inquiring about the situation, the special forces returned using the hot air balloon.
On the way, the hot air balloon discovered Zhao Gao and the others, and also saw Meng Yi. This news made them speed up their return.
When Zhao Gao saw the hot air balloon in the sky, he guessed that Qin An had noticed his 50,000-strong army, and maybe Handan City was ready.
However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
Therefore, Zhao Gao decided to wait where he was, and only sent Qingya to speed up his horse to gather 50,000 troops to speed up their march.
Immediately, Qingya rode a fast horse to the 50,000-strong army alone.
Today, hot air balloons and Zhao Gao's 50,000-strong army seem to be racing against time.
Both sides believe that whoever can reach Handan City first can make preparations in advance.
If the hot air balloon reaches Handan City first, Qin An can prepare for defense, and most importantly, he can call for help.
If Zhao Gao and the others arrive first, they can take Handan City by surprise and attack them unprepared.
Prepared or unprepared, the difficulty of siege can be divided into easy mode and hell mode.
Therefore, Zhao Gao is very anxious now. After seeing Qingya leave, he has been feeling very irritable.
"Young Master," Zi Qiong said, "Meng Yi is a burden to carry around, why do we have to take him with us."
Zhao Gao said: "Meng Yi is a burden, but he is also our talisman. With Meng Yi, no one dares to attack us.
The most important thing is that I can chat with Imperial Master Qin An alone, and it would be best if I can convince him to follow me.
If he can't be convinced, huh, then let him die. Ziqiong, you are my trump card. Your hidden weapon is hard to guard against, and Qin An will definitely not be able to dodge it.
Once Qin An refuses to follow me, kill him directly. "
When he said the last words, Zhao Gao exuded a terrifying killing intent, making the people around him feel as if they had entered an ice cellar, and their whole bodies were as cold as ice.
Zi Qiong immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Sir, Zi Qiong will definitely be able to capture you."
"Yes." Zhao Gao nodded with satisfaction.
Qingya rode his fast horse and ran non-stop for about half an hour before he saw Li Zuoche's 50,000-strong army.
After Li Zuoche also saw the hot air balloon, he also realized that his plan was leaked. Although I don’t know how the hot air balloon flew into the sky, I know that it must be the fault of the emperor’s master.
So they accelerated their march, even leaving the infantry behind, and led three thousand cavalry to set off first.
However, after walking forward for less than half an hour, I saw Qingya. No one else knew Qingya, but Li Zuoche did.
Li Zuoche stretched out his hand to stop the team from moving forward: "You guys wait here."
Then he rode a fast horse to Qingya to ask about the situation. After getting Qingya's reply, he learned that Zhao Gao had discovered the hot air balloon and thought that Qin An already knew the existence of the army, so he asked them to hurry up and join Zhao Gao.
Li Zuoche immediately arranged for someone to notify the infantry, and then led three thousand cavalry and Qingya to join Zhao Gao.
After about half an hour, Li Zuoche saw Zhao Gao. Read the book
After he dismounted, he walked directly to Zhao Gao and bowed, "See you, sir."
The three thousand cavalrymen behind Li Zuo's body knelt down and saluted at the same time: "See you, sir."
Zhao Gao said with satisfaction: "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Li Zuochehe
The three thousand cavalrymen behind him stood up.
Zhao Gao then saw the soldiers behind Li Zuo's car, frowned slightly and said, "Why are there only so few people?"
Li Zuoche immediately replied: "Reporting to the young master, the infantry will arrive later. In order to buy time, I will lead three thousand cavalry to join the young master first."
Zhao Gao said in a deep voice: "Three thousand cavalry cannot attack the city. If we do, we will die."
"Master, please don't worry. These three thousand cavalry are actually not used to attack the city, but to fish.
Handan City has a total of 5,000 troops, including official officers, a total of 6,000 troops. If it were a plain battlefield, even if there were 10,000 people, I would have the confidence to kill them all.
But in siege, cavalry is of no use. They can only lure them out of the city, and then destroy the army that came out of the city in one fell swoop. Li Zuoche said.
Zhao Gao nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. With fifty thousand troops behind us, even if they don't leave the city, we can still surround Handan City."...
Li Zuoche continued: "This is not the main thing. Our goal is the emperor's army. As long as we can capture the emperor's army, these three thousand cavalry can be sacrificed for this."
Zhao Gao looked at Li Zuoche in surprise and said, "Are you so generous? The existence of these three thousand cavalry is more important than the 50,000 troops behind you combined. Are you willing to give up?"
"Before, I really refused, but it's different now." Li Zuoche said, "I saw things flying in the sky. Facing the sky, the cavalry was nothing.
As long as we set up a sky force and hit them with rocks, they will be killed or injured without losing a single soldier.
Then let the cavalry and infantry deal with the remaining enemy troops, and the world will belong to our country, Zhao. "
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao showed a satisfied smile and said, "Well said, let's set off now."
But not long after they set off, they saw the hot air balloon again.
It turned out that the special forces on the hot air balloon saw Li Zuoche's 50,000-strong army and Zhao Gao and others halfway, so they immediately returned to Handan City and reported the matter to Qin An.
After Qin An learned about the situation, he asked the hot air balloon to continue to investigate the situation. However, without Qin An's order, he should not attack Zhao Gao's army for the time being to avoid injuring Meng Yi.
But Meng Yi remained in a coma and was unconscious.
When hot air balloons first appeared, they caused quite a stir in Handan City, because the sky is the domain of gods, and flying into the sky is something only gods can do.
Now that a hot air balloon appears in the sky, the most important thing is that there are people on it. Doesn't this mean that they can go to the place where the gods are?
The hot air balloon flew out from Qin An's inn, which made the people doubt Qin An's ability.
But not long after, the city gates were closed, and all the people could only hide at home.
However, for the soldiers guarding the city, the hot air balloon left, came back, and stopped right in front of them.
You must know that they are suspended in the air.
