Fang Qianlong rode a tall horse and staggered out of the city gate, followed by a mighty army of 100,000 feathers.
"When was the last time you rode a horse..."
Fang Qianlong fell into memories: "Oh...I remember, it was when I followed Yi Xiaodao to the capital..."
At that time, He Yue'er and Xiang Lian'er didn't know how to ride a horse. The horse was frightened and ran around, but he was the one who pulled the horse back by the reins.
"It's like a lifetime ago..." Fang Qianlong took a sip of strong wine and his body swayed even more.
Dozens of Yulin generals followed closely behind him, watching Fang Qianlong's swaying appearance, fearing that something might happen to him.
Fang Qianlong didn't drink alcohol at first, but when he was leaving the city, he passed by a restaurant. The owner and the waiter had already fled to the south. He couldn't hold it back for a moment, broke the lock, went in, poured a jar of wine, and put it in his water bag.
"It's really good wine..." Fang Qianlong drank until his eyes were blurred. He looked forward again, and the Beiyi soldiers on the opposite side were all swaying in his eyes, which was really ridiculous.
A Yulin general couldn't stand it any longer. He patted his horse and stepped forward to persuade him: "Master Fang, drink less. Let's fight later..."
"A fight? Hiccup... When the fight starts... I'm going to be so angry at Sanjin!"
Fang Qianlong threw aside the water bag in his hand, and his whole body's aura immediately became different.
His eyes seemed to have divine light, and with one glance, all the Beiyi soldiers who looked at him lowered their heads, not daring to look again.
General Yu Lin was also impressed by Fang Qianlong's momentum, and slowly retreated without saying another word.
On the top of the city, Zhou Ziru pressed against the wall, his palms sweating a little.
Yi Xiaodao came from behind. Before he could speak, a spy rushed over: "Report to Prime Minister Zhou, Shoucheng defenders also came out of the city to fight with Beiyi!"
Zhou Ziru nodded, waved his hand, and signaled to retreat.
Just as the spy got up and left, another spy came to report the news: "Report to Prime Minister Zhou, the Yangcheng defenders have been ordered to go out of the city to fight in the field!"
"Report to Prime Minister Zhou, the defenders of Lucheng have started a war with Bei Yi!"
"Report to Zhou Xiang..."
Spies were flying around, and behind every piece of military intelligence, there were countless city defenders who were looking forward to death.
Yi Xiaodao didn't say anything. Since it was a field battle with many cities fighting at the same time, it could build momentum and prevent the Northern Yi troops from having time to rescue them.
Only then did Zhou Ziru see Yi Xiaodao: "You came just in time. I have a favor to ask you."
Yi Xiaodao raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhou Ziru didn't see many people asking for help.
Zhou Ziru continued to turn around, looked at the battlefield below, and said: "Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and 200,000 troops are guarding other cities. All troops have been sent out now. In Jin City, there are 300,000 soldiers and horses."
"Fang Qianlong brought 100,000 soldiers and horses out of the city. If it fails later, I will bring another 100,000 soldiers and charge the second wave. In the city... I will leave 100,000 soldiers and horses for you."
"Although the second line of defense in the mall still has 500,000 soldiers and horses, it's not that I don't look down on them. After all, they are still brave villagers, so we can't have too much hope..."
"This one hundred thousand is Daqi's last possession. If you come to defend the city, you can defend it for one more day..."
Yi Xiaodao shook his head: "Charge in the field to build up morale. It's just one battle. What's the point of charging again? And you said it as if you were going to specifically seek death..."
Zhou Ziru looked solemn: "No one in the world is a fool. Everyone knows that a charge is just a show for others to see. And if Beiyi is beaten loose by Fang Qianlong in the first game, I will charge again, and the battle line Being impulsive may not necessarily lead to victory.”
"The defeat in the first game will directly affect the subsequent situation. I just want to give Daqi two chances."
Perhaps he felt that he was being too serious, so he smiled again: "As for the follow-up arrangements, hey, wasn't this just in case?"
Yi Xiaodao took a look at Zhou Ziru: "With your appearance, the Beiyi people may think that all the men in Daqi are dead and only the women are left! And you don't know martial arts, so what are you doing to risk yourself? Or am I? Go ahead."
"You can not."
"Why? Then Meng Mulie is not in the formation."
Zhou Ziru stared into Yi Xiaodao's eyes: "It's just because he's not here that it doesn't work. Who knows what he did? What if he comes back? How will you deal with it?"
Yi Xiaodao didn't answer because Zhou Ziru was right. They were afraid of Meng Mulie. Similarly, the only person Meng Mulie was afraid of now was Yi Xiaodao.
"There is another most important reason. You are Wu Dinggong. Most of the vassal lands in the world were recovered by you for the imperial court. With you here, the morale of the army can be more stable. If something happens to you, what will happen to the soldiers? Think about it? What’s the difference between a hundred thousand troops and a hundred thousand grains of sand?"
Yi Xiaodao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had always been a good talker, but when he met Zhou Ziru, he couldn't speak to him no matter what.
"Let's see how he fares this time." Yi Xiaodao changed the topic and stared at Fang Qianlong closely.
Nothing can happen to him.
The charge began, and Fang Qianlong took the lead. Without giving orders behind him, he rushed towards the hundreds of thousands of Beiyi troops alone.
Hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention a glance, even a few glances can't be seen... Boundless...
Fang Qianlong was not afraid.
The Yulin general behind him was caught off guard and quickly called his troops to follow the charge.
Although the Beiyi soldiers in the front row were still a little scared of the opponent Qianlong, they were already in front of him and could not retreat, so they faced him bravely.
"Okay! Come!"
Fang Qianlong stepped on the stirrup, pushed hard, and took advantage of the force to fly up, like an eagle with its head raised, with a wanton and crazy smile on his face.
The war horse could not withstand Fang Qianlong's strength and was trampled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Yu Lin army behind them were well-trained and avoided them in time, without causing any jokes about being tripped by their own horses.
"Drunken Dance of Heaven and Earth!"
"boom!"
Fang Qianlong smashed into the Beiyi formation, and with such huge strength and energy, he crushed a large area of Beiyi soldiers to death and flew away. A large area of empty space was cleared around a distance of ten feet.
"Come and fight!"
The Northern Yi soldiers also had a ferocious temperament and pounced on them without any explanation.
Fang Qianlong raised his fist and struck. With one punch, dozens of people were knocked away.
The dense crowd gradually covered Fang Qianlong, but judging from his hearty laughter and the flying Beiyi soldiers, he was fighting happily.
At the same time, the Yulin army also rushed up and hit the Beiyi soldiers and horses heavily.
One hundred thousand people versus hundreds of thousands, it is impossible for everyone to fight. The people behind kept trying to push forward, but the soldiers on both sides in the middle of the battlefield had no way to retreat and could only wave their weapons indiscriminately.
"How long do you think you can hold it off?"
"It depends on whether Beiyi has a master before taking action." Yi Xiaodao's eyes were fixed on the movements in the Beiyi formation, wary of the slightest movement.
"Brother, let's go."
Next to Qi Wukuoxie, two Beiyi generals stood up together. Seeing that their appearance was somewhat similar to Qi Wukuoxie's, the two of them asked Ying to fight.
Qi Guoxie stretched out his hand to stop the two of them: "War requires force, but not force alone. Do you know what our advantage is compared to the Central Plains?"
"The Central Plains are like weak lambs, not as good at fighting as us Beiyi people!"
"We have so many soldiers and horses that we can even trample him to death!"
Qi Wukuoxie nodded, pointed to the battlefield in the distance and said: "But you see, most of our army gathered together, but they were blocked by these thousands of Central Plains people. The people behind were unable to fight and suffered a bit. "
"I understand! Brother, do you mean...cover from both sides?" one person replied first.
Qi Guankuoxie nodded: "Yes, you each lead an army and outflank them from both sides. Let everyone on the opposite side of the Central Plains feel the power of our Beiyi!"
The two of them smiled knowingly, nodded solemnly, and left as ordered.
The two brothers led two groups of Northern Yi soldiers to attack from a distance from the rear, attacking the 100,000-strong army outside the city, outflanking them from both sides.
Its power is like a pincer. Once it is surrounded, the numerical advantage of the Beiyi soldiers will be vividly reflected.
Zhou Ziru saw clearly from the city wall: "No, if we are surrounded by the Northern Yi, it will be dangerous!"
Yi Xiaodao did not see the battlefield situation as thoroughly as Zhou Ziru, but he could also see the crisis at this time.
"If it's just a siege, I'm afraid they want to divide our army..." Zhou Ziru put forward a more dangerous hypothesis.
Yi Xiaodao tiptoed lightly and jumped up on the wall: "I'll go."
"No, I'll go!" Zhou Ziru waved to the side, and immediately a Yulin soldier came over with armor and put it on for Zhou Ziru.
"Fang Qianlong only cares about fighting for himself and doesn't care about the life and death of his troops. I will protect both sides of our army now. You can watch the battle on the city wall first. If it is critical, it is not too late to save him."
While he was talking, Zhou Ziru had already put on his armor, grabbed his sword, and hurried down to the city to order his troops.
The two armies of Beiyi were led by cavalry, and they came very fast. In a moment, they were only a few dozen feet away from the Beiyi soldiers.
The Yulin troops on both sides also saw the coming of the Beiyi soldiers. They were all dumbfounded and didn't know whether to stay in place or to counterattack.
"Protect our army's flanks and cover our army's advance! All troops, charge!"
The gates of Jincheng were opened again, and dozens of Yulin generals protected Zhou Ziru and rushed outside the city.
The soldiers and horses behind them quickly divided into two waves and inserted themselves between the Yulin Army and the Beiyi Army.
Gold and iron are in conflict, and people and horses are overturned.
The sudden arrival of the Yulin Army also surprised the Beiyi soldiers. They fought in a hurry. Not to mention which side suffered a loss, neither side took advantage.
Although Zhou Ziru's sword was drawn out, it did not hit any of the Beiyi soldiers. He was killed by the Yulin general beside him before he got close.
"Outward! Expand!"
Zhou Ziru waved his sword and shouted, and the herald who followed him immediately conveyed his order.
The Yulin Army was a little surprised when they saw Zhou Ziru personally fighting.
"Prime Minister Zhou... doesn't seem to have much effort."
"Okay, now when I go back, I can have some bragging rights with those people in the capital. I also fought with Prime Minister Zhou!"
"Nothing said, brothers, come on!"
The morale of the Yulin army was greatly boosted. With the addition of this new force, they actually pushed the Beiyi troops back.
In the battlefield, Fang Qianlong grabbed a Beiyi soldier, stretched out his hands to twist his throat from behind, and threw him in front of him.
"boom!"
Smoke and dust billowed.
A large area of the Beiyi soldiers in front of them were knocked down.
"It's so happy!! Hahaha, it's so happy!"
