The atmosphere in Haojing City was somewhat stagnant.
King Qin's army was several days faster than Marquis Shen expected. Counting from the time the beacon was lit, it would not have been so fast even if it was traveling day and night.
Ji Yi and Shen Hou still didn't expect that the June frost would have such a big impact. Now there is an undercurrent surging in Haojing City.
Gao Qing said to Ji Yijin: "Your Majesty, there are rumors everywhere in the city now, saying that it was not the thieves who killed the late king, but you who killed the late king. You are not worthy of ruling the world at all."
Ji Yi was very angry because he knew in his heart that his grandfather had really committed regicide and his father's blood was indeed on his throne, so he did not allow others to say that.
In order to prevent the people of the country from speaking ill of him, he sent many people to wander around the streets. As long as they heard anyone speaking ill of him, they would immediately arrest that person.
However, in just a few days, hundreds of people were arrested and all were imprisoned. As a result, no one really dared to say anything bad about him.
Gao Qing did not expect Ji Yi to do this, so he said to Shen Hou: "Shen Gong, when there was a flood during King Shun's time, he used blocking method at first, but it failed, and instead caused greater danger.
Later, the flood problem was successfully solved by dredging the river.
Not allowing Chinese people to speak out and criticize is more serious than flooding caused by blocking rivers.
If speech is blocked without guidance, it will have unimaginable consequences. "
Marquis Shen knew that this was not the solution, but he could not find a solution.
Now that the enemy is facing us, we can only hope to defeat King Qin's army, and then slowly channel the public opinion in the city.
Although the heavy snow has disappeared under the sun, it has fallen into everyone's heart, like a seed. Ji Yi's atrocities are the catalyst. Everyone thinks that Ji Yi is not the real king.
Not to mention these ordinary people, even the coerced nobles and nobles were secretly preparing to abandon Ji Yi and Shen Hou.
As long as Shen Hou's side shows any signs of defeat in the later decisive battle, they will immediately rebel.
Marquis Shen also knew this in his heart, so he did not let these Jinei princes lead troops into battle at all, but put these people under house arrest.
There were countless victims of the former army's revolt before the battle, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire army. The most famous ones were the Battle of Muye, where King Wu conquered Zhou and determined the world, and the Battle of Luoshui, where King Su conquered the east.
…
On the vast land outside Haojing City, more than 200,000 troops gathered here.
The allied forces of the western princes faced off against King Rong on the west side, and Marquis Shen personally led most of the troops to fight against the main force of King Qin's army on the east side.
I saw Marquis Shen in armor, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a long sword at his side. He was carrying an extraordinary figure. He drove forward and asked loudly: "Is Marquis Luo here?"
Of course Luo Cheng would not see him again. The queues separated, and Zheng Bo stood on the chariot, wearing almost the same attire as Shen Hou.
He pulled out his long sword and pointed at the Marquis of Shen from a distance, and cursed angrily: "Shen thief, you killed the king and also the queen. How vicious is this? Even the wolves, tigers and leopards in the wild land are not as vicious as you." .
Even if I use all the water in the Jingwei River to wash you, I can't wash away the sins of the king's blood on your body.
Luo Gong is a descendant of King Su. He has such a noble status and is so loyal to Bang Zhou.
Do you, a sinner like you, still dream of meeting Luo Gong? "
Uncle Zheng's words directly stung Marquis Shen, who also said angrily: "Uncle Zheng, you are confusing right and wrong and spitting blood, aren't you afraid of punishment from the god of mountains and rivers?
Gu's legitimate daughter is the queen, and her grandson is the prince. The king was deceived by an adulterer and decided to abolish the legitimate daughter and establish a concubine. This was a violation of the patriarchal system of the state and Zhou Dynasty.
Gu led the army of Shen State to the side of Qingjun in Haojing. Marquis Luo did not believe Gu's intentions and still slandered him like this, which is really sad.
When Gu sees Luo Hou, he must explain clearly to him that the king was killed by a traitor and has nothing to do with Gu. "
The two exchanged words, but neither of them could take advantage, so they returned to the formation and prepared to decide the winner on the battlefield.
The two armies began to beat drums to cheer, and the generals led their armies to collide with each other in accordance with military orders.
As for the battlefield in the west, King Qin's army and the Rong people had nothing to say, and they were fighting together early on.
On the vast land of the Three Rivers Plain, more than 200,000 troops and thousands of chariots rumbled and charged.
Arrows were flying, and the shouts of killing filled the entire land. Soldiers from both sides had long been strangled together. With the current communication methods, it is impossible to pass the general's orders to the grassroots. We can only roughly control and conduct real combat. It all depends on the sense of smell of the generals at the grassroots level.
Those generals who can leave their names in history are all extraordinary people who can seize opportunities in the battlefield. This is the so-called victory by coincidence and surprise.
The little nobles who have served specially for generations are the bravest. They have been protected by personal soldiers since they were young, and they drive chariots and gallop across the battlefield.
The two sides have already fallen into a stalemate and are completely red-blooded. At this time, even if Ming Jin withdraws his troops, some people may not be able to stop waving weapons in their hands.
In such a fierce battlefield, arrows were fired, swords were waved, and corpses were scattered all over the field. Bronze weapons were not designed to last long, and the weapons in the hands of many soldiers were even rolled up.
Looking down from the sky, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the scene is extremely bloody and cruel.
Zheng Bo was the only one among the princes in the alliance who personally went to the battlefield to kill him. He was indeed the most brave among the three armies. He fired a powerful bow from left to right, and almost every arrow could kill an enemy officer. , and even fired three arrows together, killing three people in a row.
The eyes of Prince Ji Fu were shining as they watched, and Luo Cheng and others couldn't help but praise: "Uncle Zheng has the courage of Xiong Dun."
The name of Xiong Dun, the world's military leader, is known to everyone from the far west of Haojing to the coast of the East China Sea.
Now Luo Cheng uses Xiong Dun to describe Uncle Zheng, which shows how much he recognizes his bravery.
Uncle Zheng felt that this war was tailor-made for him. The strength of Zheng State was very strong among the princes surnamed Ji, but it was still incomparable to Jin State.
If you want to win the first prize, you must play a role in the battle, which happens to be what he is best at.
Under the protection of Zheng's elite soldiers, Zheng Bo rushed left and right in the battle formation. He didn't even need to wave the long sword in his hand. The high-speed chariot rushed past, and there was a bloody hole directly.
Marquis Shen also made no concessions. The two of them each led their most elite troops to try to tear apart the other side's defense line.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Uncle Zheng felt his left arm go numb. When he looked closely, he saw that there was an arrow stuck in his armor.
He was truly a very brave man, and he didn't feel any fear at all. Instead, he looked angrily towards the direction where the arrow came from, and saw that it was actually Shen Hou who had taken action himself.
"Hit someone with a secret arrow, let me test your skills!"
Uncle Zheng also bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at Marquis Shen. Marquis Shen was well prepared, but the arrow was swept away by the soldiers before it reached him.
"snort!"
Uncle Zheng snorted coldly, asked the charioteer to turn the car around, waved his long sword, and shouted loudly: "Suigu kills Thief Shen!"
The two most elite armies on the battlefield were completely strangled together. Both sides were elites in the world and wore thick armor. It was impossible to tell the winner in a short time.
Luo Cheng and others stood on a high ground and watched the changes in the battlefield situation from a distance. After watching for a while, they found that the situation had reached a stalemate.
In fact, if a war involving more than 100,000 people is fought forcefully, it will be impossible to determine the outcome in a short period of time, and it will only become a meat grinder.
The final test of a grand legion war is the logistics of both sides, the psychological endurance of the soldiers on both sides, the generals' dispatching level, and their astronomical and geographical abilities.
"If the stalemate continues like this, I'm afraid there won't be any results today. Now we're just waiting to see who reveals the flaw first."
This battle, which consisted of countless small battlefields, lasted from morning to evening. Even the reserve team had changed several times, and everyone was numb.
As the sun gradually set, the soldiers were gradually exhausted, and both sides knew that it was time to retreat.
All around Haojing City were corpses, scattered on the ground in a mess. Most of them were soldiers without armor, and there were countless people with broken arms and legs.
This situation was expected by King Qin and the princes. They are stronger and time is on their side. If this war drags on, the balance of victory will tilt towards them.
At this moment, an astonishing shout suddenly broke out from behind Shenhou's army, and the big flag of Ying was flying. The one in the lead was holding the flag of Qin and holding the head of King Rong in his hand.
"King Rong is dead!"
The Rong King was actually beheaded by this general with the surname Ying!
The Marquis of Shen suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. King Rong did not know how he could be lost in the hands of an unknown little noble after many storms and waves.
Before his eyes were drawn back, Zao Fei was born in the Zhao family with the surname Ying. He was granted a title in Qin Yi and was a minor nobleman who was not worthy of the fifth rank.
But this man is naturally brave. In recent years, he has been attacking everywhere and has been supported by many bankrupt Ying clan members. His strength should not be underestimated.
This time I came to Qinwang, thinking that I would be able to make a splash in the process of Qinwang.
As soon as the war started, he had been staring at King Rong.
In the process of moving while fighting, his keen sense of the battlefield allowed him to seize an opportunity and attack the King of Rong's chariot.
There are only a thousand of the most elite soldiers guarding it!
This was already the time when King Rong was at his weakest. Zaofei had pressed down almost all his family assets. With blood and flesh flying everywhere, he finally broke through a gap.
At the most dangerous moment, a Chang Ge even stabbed directly into his chest, but his heart guard blocked it.
For this opportunity, all his personal guards were almost killed or injured.
He bent his bow and set an arrow. These were the three sharpest arrows in the whole Qin Dynasty, which could break armor. At this time, Zaifei didn't care about the arrows, and shot three arrows in succession.
King Rong fell off his chariot in response.
Zaofei was so excited that he shouted loudly: "King Rong is dead!"
"Boom!"
There was a sudden thunder in the space where Ji Zhao was standing, and he who had been in chaos suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes, golden light shone brightly, and then he saw the purple light reaching the sky and the earth shining on the heroic man!
As if stimulated by purple light, two groups of light emerged from Ji Zhao's body.
In a ball of light, there is a flawless figure rising and falling, and in the ball of light, there is a building like a heavenly palace.
It is the incarnation of heavenly beings and the Sitian Supervisory Platform!
Ji Zhao stretched out his hand and held the two balls of light in his hands, looking at the purple light of destiny, ready to move.
He really wanted to try what it would be like to reverse his destiny.
What God has given you, I can also take away!
[Players please pay attention! Please use heavenly items with caution, use them with caution! It is in your best interest to clear the customs! 】
The system's voice seemed to have a hint of urgency.
Ji Zhao felt his increasingly powerful soul, and finally took the two heavenly items back into his body and closed his eyes again.
"The world will give it to you!"
When the surrounding Rong soldiers saw that the king was no longer on the chariot, they suddenly became frightened. They recalled the rumors that had circulated in the military camp a few days ago that the Zhou people had gods participating in the war.
This time, even the king who was comparable to a god was dead and fled in all directions.
Zaofei was overjoyed when he saw it. He immediately drove his chariot over the chaotic Rong people, dragged the body of King Rong up and directly carried it on Chang Ge. He drove his chariot around and shouted loudly that King Rong was dead.
In fact, it wasn't just ordinary Rong people who didn't want to fight. After plundering Haojing, many Rong nobles wanted to leave long ago due to the large amount of treasures and the weird things like Feishuang in June.
Now that King Rong is dead, these people no longer care about it and slowly retreat with their tribes.
The Western King Qin's army did not stop them, but directly let them go, because they knew that the most important thing now was to defeat Shenhou.
As soon as the Rong people retreated, the State of Shen would be attacked from both sides. As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and quick, so the princes did not waste a moment and marched directly towards the Marquis of Shen.
The people who had been preparing to withdraw their troops were shocked by this sudden change. The stalemate in front of them suddenly broke out because of King Rong's mistake.
"Prince, King Qin's army is about to win!"
"Hao Jing is ours!"
The princes happily reported the good news to Ji Fu. Although Ji Fu couldn't understand the situation, he understood it after listening to the princes explaining it to him.
He is about to win.
What happens after you win?
Ascend to the throne and become king!
Become the supreme emperor!
Ji Fu couldn't help but tremble, and he stared closely at the battlefield filled with blood.
When Marquis Shen saw that something was not going well, he wanted to flee into Haojing City and resist. Unexpectedly, the people of Haojing City joined forces with the nobles and nobles, rushed into the palace, killed Ji Yi directly, and then destroyed all the gates of Haojing City. It was closed, cutting off Shen Hou's retreat.
There is no way to heaven and no way to earth!
Under attack from both front and rear, Shen's army was in a dilemma. They fell in pieces. The entire formation collapsed long ago. More people trampled each other to death than those who died directly under the arrows and swords of King Qin's army. .
Uncle Zheng had already given up trying to kill Lord Shen, but he did not expect that the princes in the west suddenly received such a great victory, and the entire army of Shen State fled in all directions.
Marquis Shen was only protected by the most elite armor soldiers. The problem was that he also had armor soldiers, and there were also soldiers from Jin, Zhou, Luo, and many more!
He gathered five or six officers to charge with him. Both sides were soldiers wearing thick armor. Ordinary bows and arrows were of no use to these soldiers.
From the very beginning, there was the bloodiest chariot collision, with the horses wailing, blood rising, and internal organs, arms, and heads spilling all over the floor.
Zheng Bo rushed left and right. He was extremely powerful and easily killed several soldiers who tried to block the way. He rushed to Shen Hou with a big smile.
"Hou Shen, look at it, your failure is precisely because you did something that made God hate you.
How sacred King Su is, yet you dare to disobey the oracle he sent down.
Can you not fail? "
Marquis Shen originally thought that Uncle Zheng would humiliate him, but he did not expect that Uncle Zheng would say this.
He couldn't help but recall, what would it have been like if he had just retreated when Luo Hou came to persuade him?
“King Su!
I am a subject who has done meritorious service to Zhu Xia.
Ji Nie is so stupid that he abolished his direct descendants and established concubines. Why don't you punish him? "
After saying that, looking at Uncle Zheng in front of him, he stopped fighting and actually drew his sword and killed himself!
…
Prince Li abused him, and the people of the country slandered him.
If he is angry, he will make the prisoner slander those who slander him, and he will kill him if he slanders him.
The people of the country do not dare to speak, the road is based on their eyes.
It is better to guard against the mouth of the people than to guard against the river and the people of the country. ——"Mandarin·Zhouyu"
