In short, after only half a month, the talisman was not enough.
Fortunately, King Zhao's condition improved and he was able to move around, and the teams were divided.
He took the masters of the Imperial Preceptor and the Imperial Preceptor's Office and flew away first, heading to the territory of the original Dawu in the south to join the army heading towards Da Zhao.
King Zhao wanted to avenge his previous humiliation and annihilate Zhou Yanyu's 200,000-strong army.
The Forbidden Army and these fugitives became tools to confuse Zhou Yanyu.
…
Zhou Yanyu didn't notice it at first, but as time went by, Yamazaki revealed it.
Based on the marching speed, it is speculated that King Zhao is no longer in the fleeing team.
That was the bait that would lead Zhou Yanyu into the encirclement.
King Zhao, who has lost his royal city, will definitely weave a dragnet to annihilate Zhou Yanyu's troops.
…
Following Yamazaki's instructions, Zhou Yanyu dispatched multiple teams.
One group went back to the capital of Zhao to invite people and family members of the forbidden army to come here to undermine the morale of the army.
The rest rushed forward quickly, rushing to the towns along the way to spread the news that the capital of Zhao was here, and the dignitaries of the Zhao royal family fled, and those who accepted them would be punished with serious crimes.
Of course, there are some who are not afraid, but there are also those who are afraid. After all, these powerful and powerful people who used to dominate are indeed on the run.
Or is it an outing? I don’t want to lose my armor and have a dishonored appearance.
The number of talismans suddenly decreased, and the speed became even slower.
…
By the beginning of March, a team that went to the royal capital came back, not only bringing back people, but also a letter from Princess Jingqing.
In addition to praising her, he also told her to be careful and told her that reinforcements were on the way.
Zhou Yanyu sent another team to Zhaodu to deliver the message, and at the same time sent a general with the message to the west to meet the Zhou reinforcements, telling them not to come to join them yet and to stay as surprise troops.
Let's see if Da Zhao and King Zhao are really at the end of their strength, and if they can catch them off guard and capture or kill King Zhao at the same time.
After that, let the family members of the Imperial Guards persuade them to surrender. Don't mention their names, just shout.
Dad, come back quickly. The kid misses you.
Son, come back quickly, I'm waiting for you at home.
The princesses of the Zong family of the Great Zhou Dynasty all said that those who surrendered would be forgotten, and they would be treated equally with the people of Zhou after they retired.
Just shouting at night will not only spread far, but also disturb sleep.
What's more important is that if you can't see clearly or hear clearly, it will cause people to make up their minds.
When the heart is moved, there are more people who desert.
…
There were deserters in the Forbidden Army, and the commander of the Forbidden Army could not stop them. He knew that it was not their fault, and they just wanted to go back to reunite with their families.
If he hadn't known about King Zhao's plan, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't surrender. He also had family and children.
This is not the time to serve the great Zhao. Instead of dying in vain, it is better to leave the fire.
But now, he can only carry out the task silently, lead the team to move forward, and lead Zhou Yanyu into an ambush.
…
As the Forbidden Army surrendered, people in the team were moved, especially civilians and slaves, and more and more people left the team.
The common people have nothing to do with the war. Whoever becomes the king, they have to pay food and serve, while the slaves want to free themselves from slavery.
But as soon as they left, the dignitaries were left without service, and they became angry and even used assassins.
This caused the people below to become distraught, and more people escaped at night.
The powerful people arrested people and encountered resistance, which led to the bombing of the camp. If it hadn't been for the suppression of the imperial army, many of the powerful people would have died.
It's just that there are more people fleeing, and the lives of the powerful are harder, and some have become unkempt, and some don't take showers.
It’s not that I don’t want to wash, it’s that there is no one to help set up camp, no one to fetch water, and no one to light a fire.
Finally, there was still dry food, and no one died of starvation, but I felt miserable and full of resentment.
They pinch each other, but they can't pinch each other, and their official and noble titles are almost the same.
He turned around and vented his anger on the Forbidden Army. They had relatively no status and were easy to bully.
As a result, the Forbidden Army ran away more often, and some even kidnapped people and took them back as surrender certificates.
In terms of strength and high rank in the Imperial Guard, they are all elites chosen from thousands of people.
It is difficult to lead the imperial army, so we can only make peace with Xini and appease both sides.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, now that the person is gone, the talismans are easy to separate, the speed is actually faster, and there is some hope.
It was hard to survive until April 2, when we arrived at the original Zhao-Wu border area.
…
The Zhao-Wu border is located on the bank of a river and is surrounded by mountains.
The river was so wide that it was difficult for soldiers and horses to cross it. In addition, there were strong walls and clear fields on both sides, and there were no mountains or forests to block the army within a thousand miles.
Both sides have built strong passes in the mountains on the river bank. If they want to capture them, they can only fly in the air and attack them thousands of miles away.
The Xiongguan of Da Zhao was called Shanghe City, which was an advantage.
Dawu's Xiongguan directly challenged Zhaocheng and ridiculed Da Zhao.
…
King Zhao had already laid an ambush in Shanghe City, and there were two million soldiers hidden in the mountains outside the city, just waiting for Zhou Yanyu to lead his army to dig into the pockets.
However, Zhou Yanyu had to give some advice from Yamazaki. Seeing the Imperial Army escorting the dignitaries into the mountain road, he gave the order to speed up the pursuit.
In fact, it was just an agreement for everyone to be prepared.
…
The mountain road from Da Zhao side to Shanghe City can accommodate ten riders walking side by side.
Two hundred thousand troops were lined up in 20,000 rows on the mountain road, covering a distance of thirty miles.
If you want to annihilate them all, you have to let them go at least a hundred miles, but once they enter the mountains, you can seal off the way back.
King Zhao had a good idea, but Zhou Yanyu insisted on riding five horses in a row and doubled the distance. The team lined up a hundred miles away.
King Zhao had no choice but to send an order to wait for Zhou Yanyu and others at the forefront to break into 200 miles before taking action.
As a result, within fifty miles, Zhou Yanyu caught up with the imperial army.
She flew up and rushed to the front of the imperial army. A hundred miles away, she used the Earth Element Seal and the Spirit Wood Seal to create a dense forest.
The mountain road was cut off abruptly, blocking the imperial army and dignitaries on the mountain road.
King Zhao suddenly fell into a panic. Should he save him or not?
He has tens of millions of troops at his disposal, but when facing his close confidants and important officials, he hesitates whether to save them or not.
Grand Master Zhao on the side saw this, and remained calm on the surface, but murmured in his heart.
King Zhao's character is really vicious. I'm afraid that the old ghost of Da Zhou has told him right. He only has the heart of an emperor and can be courteous to the virtuous and corporal, but he is an immoral person who puts on a show.
…
Zhou Yanyu flew in the sky, standing with her hands behind her back, looking down at the imperial army and the dignitaries.
"You are seeking a dead end. Surrender."
What she relies on is the big river. The water is rich in spiritual energy. With a little stimulation, it gathers into a huge water dragon.
The water dragon beside her became clear as the water aura gathered.
Zhou Yanyu's power became more and more majestic, even a bit imperial, making people kneel down unconsciously.
"Array up!"
The commander of the Forbidden Army roared, and although the remaining soldiers were lifeless, they quickly arrived.
The Five Elements Army Formation can gather the power of many people into one person.
The commander of the forbidden army was originally a master of the soul, and this blessing immediately boosted the power of the soul.
A tall muscular giant appeared, looking like he was capturing a dragon, which immediately restored a lot of morale.
But Zhou Yanyu curled her lips, this kind of showmanship is simply vulnerable. If you have the ability, you can still be as good as before, that's how powerful you are.
The commander of the forbidden army also understood this and showed his magic weapon.
He has been practicing hard and has no time to refine the magic weapon, but Zhao has a magic weapon - the golden wind mace given by the emperor.
