The Xiongnu wanted to retreat and headed towards the west gate of Bianjing under the leadership of Tila.
Such a big movement was quickly received by Zhao Jun, who immediately called the secret guards in the army for questioning.
The secret guard immediately told the latest news.
"Your Majesty, when the city was broken, the old soldiers of the Japanese Army and Zhenbei Army fought hard to hold off the Xiongnu for half a day, giving the people in the city time to escape. Since the main force of the Xiongnu was in the north city, the people all ran away from the south gate.
The Xiongnu didn't capture many hostages after they came in. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to threaten you, so they decided to retreat from the west gate and bypass Yumen Pass.
The Xiongnu left many people on the road to Yumenguan to watch over the money, food, people, gold and silver treasures that the Xiongnu robbed along the way.
If they cannot be stopped, I am afraid that the money and people robbed by the Huns from the entire Hedong and Guanzhong armies will be brought back to the grassland! "
Zhao Jun frowned deeply. After finally arriving in the capital, Zhao Jun was not willing to let the Huns run away and let them return to the grassland with their loot.
However, the Huns are all cavalry and move quickly. If they keep chasing, they may not be able to catch up.
At this moment, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew over and landed in the hands of the secret guard.
The secret guard took off the message hidden on the carrier pigeon, took a look at it, and immediately reported in surprise: "Your Majesty! Good thing!
The 50,000 imperial troops sent by the imperial court to rebel against the four counties were on their way back.
If we hurry up, we might be able to block the Xiongnu's retreat! "
Zhao Jun still shook his head solemnly and said: "It's useless, I know the strength of those two forbidden armies. Tuoben is worse than the Japanese army, and their troops are less than 50,000.
Although we captured the Xiongnu population of 80,000, plus the more than 40,000 they lost during the siege, after deducting the garrison they left behind at Yumen Pass, they probably still have about 100,000 people in their hands.
The 50,000-strong Dragon Guard and Divine Guard would not take the initiative to intercept unless the general lost his mind. "
However, the expression on the secret guard's face remained unchanged. After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, there is another news. The Tianwu Army has left Shu, and is now being taken to Guanzhong County and Hedong by King Zhenxi. The important military city Heyuan was acquired at the junction of the counties!
On the third day, he led the Tianwu army to break through Heyuan City and took back a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass left by the Xiongnu in Heyuan City, as well as 300,000 captured people.
Now, after the reorganization they saw, King Zhenxi is heading all the way to Guanzhong. If the Huns follow this road back to the grassland, they may run into King Zhenxi head-on! "
Hearing this, Zhao Jun's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "How many people are there in the Tianwu Army under the Second Master? What is their configuration?"
The secret guard recalled it and immediately replied: "According to the latest information, the Tianwu Army in the hands of King Zhenxi is the strongest of the four forbidden armies in Bianjing, with a total of 100,000 people!
The configuration of the Tianwu Army is also the best among all armies. There are 10,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, 20,000 archers and 20,000 heavy infantry wearing infantry armor!
Although it is said to be 100,000 people, this only counts the number of combatants. The Tianwu Army has a year-round number of 150,000 people, and the remaining 50,000 are auxiliary troops, which help transport grain and grass as well as infantry armor of heavy infantry. Equipment that consumes energy. "
When the secret guard said this, he suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "By the way, Your Majesty, before the Xiongnu siege of the city, Your Majesty purchased more than 10,000 kilograms of explosives from the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and shipped them to Sichuan. I don't know if there are any It was not consumed. If not, the military army would have been more than enough to fight the Huns that day."
With such a configuration, plus more than 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder, and the reinforcements of the Imperial Army, Zhao Jun's lips immediately turned into a smile!
enough!
Enough to swallow the Huns!
This configuration! Enough to beat the Huns!
Immediately, Zhao Jun gave an order: "According to my king's order, the secret guards immediately sent Xinying to contact the two departments. Guan Ning was responsible for commanding the main army to cooperate and clear out the remaining Xiongnu troops!
They must pay the price with blood! "
After handing over the command, Zhao Jun led a thousand personal guard battalions and quickly headed towards the imperial city.
In addition to the news about the Xiongnu, the Forbidden Army and the Second Master who were coming back for reinforcements, the secret guard just now also brought an explosive news that made Zhao Jun stunned for a long time!
The old man passed away!
The city was attacked by a group of troops who appeared out of nowhere. Their leader used hidden weapons and died together with the old man.
But the prince's brother, who was supposed to leave, ran back in a rage and was under siege!
After arranging the command of the army, Zhao Jun led a thousand personal guards and galloped towards the imperial city.
At this time, under the Imperial City, the bloody fighting was still going on.
Unlike Zhao Duan, although Zhao Ming also practiced martial arts, he obviously had no martial arts talent and was not very strong on the battlefield.
And the other party hid the assassin secretly looking for assassination opportunities. If it weren't for the guards behind Zhao Ming who saved their lives time and time again, Zhao Ming would have been assassinated long ago.
But the assassinations failed to kill Zhao Ming, but they also caused a lot of injuries to his body!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
More than 2,000 elite Japanese troops were defeated and now only less than 1,000 people were left, while the black-armored infantry on the opposite side had lost less than a third.
There is still a gap in combat power between the two sides.
Zhao Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked not far away where Cao Shuang was being surrounded by three assassins and being gradually pulled away.
Zhao Ming knew that this was done intentionally by the other party, just to make it easier to kill him!
But there was nothing he could do now.
But he has no regrets.
As a human son, his father was killed by these people, so he couldn't let go of his hatred and lie dormant!
Zhao Duan was right, the prince was too immature and acted more impulsively.
Originally, Zhao Duan thought that he could be saved no matter what according to his own arrangements. With the relationship between the two brothers, and with the help of Zhao Jun, his son could secure his position as emperor.
But what he didn't expect was that the prince actually ran back after his death.
If Zhao Duan was still alive, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood!
But he is dead!
The assassination came again, and another soldier helped him block the blow. The dullness of the palace was quickly pushed away, and Ye Wei roared and led the imperial army guarding the palace to quickly approach here.
Seeing that Zhao Ming's reinforcements were coming, finally some of the black armored infantry were unwilling to waste any more.
The killer who has always been hiding no longer hides and carries out assassinations openly!
The black-armored infantry also stared at the pressure brought by the Japanese army and quickly pressed towards Zhao Ming!
"Your Highness, run!"
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!!!"
Not far away, Ye Wei's voice was hoarse and his eyes were about to burst!
However, he could not close the distance between the two parties!
Before being submerged, Zhao Ming looked back at the home where he had lived for more than 20 years, smiled slightly and slowly closed his eyes.
A long sword suddenly penetrated his heart, and at the same time, a exclamation sounded from behind:
"Brother Prince!!! Stop! Damn stop it!!!!"
A figure suddenly shot out like a phantom, and with just one punch, the assassin who had just pierced Zhao Ming was reduced to ashes!
However, the surrounding black-armored infantry who were still trying to catch up were sent flying backwards by Zhao Jun's explosive momentum, leaving a large area of the field free!
The place suddenly became quiet!
Zhao Jun caught Zhao Ming who was about to fall to the ground. Zhao Ming also saw this little brother he had grown up with and smiled.
"Lao...Lao Liu, you...are you back?"
