Chapter 368 The city is broken

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing Teng Qianqiu's disappearing back, the old emperor and Zhao Lie glanced at each other. The huge conference room seemed extremely quiet.

    There was a long silence between the two, and it was obvious that Fuji Chiaki had hit their mark.

    "Your Majesty"

    "General Zhao"

    The two spoke in unison, and then there was silence again.

    "Zhao Qing's family, you also know Gu's thoughts, but, as Mr. Teng said, Gu's time is running out. In this lifetime, it seems a bit unrealistic to see Gallen Star unified, hey"

    "Your Majesty, give me one month. In one month, after the Eighteen Kingdoms lost their military generals, they have become leaderless and in chaos. We believe that in just one month, we can make the Eighteen Kingdoms surrender!"  Zhao Lie heard the meaning from the old emperor's words, his face suddenly changed, and he knelt down in shock.

    "Hey Zhao Qing's family" The old emperor shook his head and sighed.

    "Weichen has mobilized an army of 500,000 people and divided it into three groups, attacking cities and territories along the way, advancing at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per day. In just three days, Weichen has captured Lucheng Tangcheng, Bijia City and several other cities  "

    "Zhao Qing's family, there are only 30,000 defensive troops in Die City." The old emperor looked at it with turbid eyes, slowly condensing into substance, and he was as bright and sharp as a blade.

    "Your Majesty" Zhao Lie's body was shaken. Although the old emperor gave up his military power, he still controlled his every move. During this period, in order to achieve the greatest achievement in a very short period of time, Zhao Lie even traveled to the capital city.  The most powerful troops were quietly mobilized, leaving only 30,000 elite soldiers behind. Since the history of the Galen Empire, the number of left-behind soldiers in the capital of Gyeonggi has never been less than 200,000, and this time, it can be said that all the elite troops have left.

    "Zhao Qing's family, since Gu didn't stop you, he acquiesced to you. However, with 30,000 soldiers against 30,000 martial arts masters, you can be sure that if Die City is breached, all your plans will be shattered." The old emperor said again.  He sighed. Today was the day he sighed the most in his life.

    "Your Majesty, what we are facing is just a group of mobs. Die City is naturally dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. We only need to hold on to Die City. If Zou Zichuan dares to go deep into Die City, he can just mobilize an army at will to complete the encirclement. Besides,  We are not facing 30,000 soldiers and horses. Zou Zichuan will have to pay a heavy price if he passes through the Devil's Triangle. Presumably, for 30,000 people in the world, he is lucky to be able to save 20,000!" Zhao Lie said with confidence.

    "Zou Zichuan is an extraordinary person. He has the power of a general and the air of a king in his movements. General Zhao must put aside his contempt. It doesn't matter if we fail. There is still room for negotiation. If you are like General Wu Ke,  If we are captured, we will lose our ability to negotiate." The old emperor said solemnly.

    "Your Majesty, I also pledge my head to guarantee that I will not be captured even if I die in battle." Zhao Lie said loudly with a strong expression on his face.

    "Get up, I'm old. My biggest dream is to see the unification of Gallen Continent in this lifetime. General Zhao is an unparalleled genius in the past thousand years. It's a pity that another great general in martial arts has appeared. Fortune has manipulated people. Go and do it.  I'll give you one month. After one month, if we can't unify the continent, we will make peace with Zou Zichuan and cooperate with him to return to the Human Alliance" The old emperor's speech was unusually slow, full of a twilight desolation.

    "Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

    Zhao Lie stood up with respect, walked back to the door, then turned around, opened the door, and strode out.

    Zhao Lie's back disappeared at the door for a long time, and the old emperor was still looking at the two closed solid wood doors, his cloudy eyes looking worried.

    "Papa!" The old emperor gently clapped his hands. Immediately, the huge landscape painting in the conference room slowly moved away, revealing a small door. Three middle-aged men in black clothes walked out of the door.  The clothes of the three people looked very ordinary, but the cuffs were embroidered with a ship-shaped logo, which was the symbol of the royal family of the Galen Empire.

    "Please!" The old emperor spat out one word and gestured with one hand.

    The three of them did not speak, but after slightly cupping their hands, they sat down at the bottom of the desk.

    "What do you think, three dear friends?" The old emperor's cloudy eyes became extremely clear.

    "There is no need to question General Zhao's loyalty." The middle-aged man sitting in the second chair said with a blank expression.

    "Well, this is certain. I have been hiding General Zhao in the snow just to test his patience. This person can be responsible for a big job, but he is too ambitious for fame and can easily make mistakes in judgment." The old emperor nodded.

    "What the emperor said is true, but if Zhao Lie loses his opponent Wuke, the Galen Empire will unify the mainland soon."Can wait.  "A middle-aged man in black who was sitting at the bottom said every word.

    "But, there is another Zou Zichuan."

    "Mr. Zou is an unfathomable person. We cannot speculate on his identity and status. Moreover, this person seems to be acting out of common sense. I wonder if the emperor has the intention to get rid of Mr. Zou?" The leader of the man in black spoke calmly, but,  When talking about Zou Zichuan, his face was full of respect.

    "I have a hunch that Zhao Lie will not be able to defeat Zou Zichuan. I hope the three gentlemen will take action." The old emperor's eyes became extremely sharp and filled with murderous intent.

    "Your Majesty, you think too highly of the three of us. Now Mr. Zou is surrounded by so many masters. Just one Tu Ten Thousand is already invincible. There are even more peerless masters who are infinitely close to the martial arts realm. Moreover, in the martial arts  It is the biggest unknown. If Wuke surrenders to Mr. Zou, then" The leader of the men in black said with a bitter smile.

    "The three gentlemen are also masters who are infinitely close to the realm of martial arts. I believe that if the three gentlemen work together, even if they kill ten thousand people, they will not be able to defeat them."

    "Since the Emperor has made up his mind, let's give it a try."

    The leader of the men in black stood up without speaking any more, followed by the other two, and the three disappeared behind the majestic ink painting.

    Looking at the disappearing figures of the three people, the old emperor inexplicably felt something was wrong. The three people did not have the boundless murderous intent of the past, nor did they have the momentum of a scepter to save others' lives, but they had a kind of heroic loneliness.

    Why is this happening?

    The old emperor felt that his heart was under tremendous pressure, and his blood vessels seemed to burst. This heavy pressure made it difficult for him to breathe

    ¡­¡­

    Zhao Lie¡¯s spies returned with news all the way, but the army led by Zou Zichuan seemed to disappear out of thin air. There was no trace of the route from Devil¡¯s Lake. Thirty thousand people and thirty thousand horses seemed to have never appeared.

    Some spies began to wonder whether Zou Zichuan had penetrated from Devil's Lake to Die City.

    There are only three roads from Devil's Lake to Diecheng. The first is the desert, the second is the prairie and the third is the man-eating tree forest.

    In fact, the prairie and the man-eating tree forest can only be regarded as one road, because the prairie forms a long and narrow passage in the desert area. The grassland is full of man-eating trees. They are so intertwined that it is impossible to tell whether it is a prairie or a man-eating tree.  Man-Eating Tree Grove.

    It is said that there are three roads, but in fact it is just one road, which is the junction of the Death Desert and the Prairie. The other places are full of panic, and there are death traps and traps everywhere. A team of 30,000 people is a huge team.  , it is impossible to approach Die City from the vine trap.

    News from the spies continued to be reported to Zhao Lie¡¯s desk.

    Zhao Lie didn¡¯t look at it. He just stood on top of the high castle in Die City and looked into the distance. No matter what happened to the other party, he just had to remain unchanged in response to changes. After all, Zou Zichuan¡¯s goal was Die City.

    Zhao Lie doesn't feel terrible about Ya Cane. He believes that it is impossible for a mecha to destroy Die City. Moreover, he always believes that Zou Zichuan cannot use modern artillery fire to attack Die City because Zou Zichuan needs this huge cosmic ship.  The spaceship returns to the Human Alliance

    "General, our intelligence personnel are disappearing in large numbers." A soldier half-knelt behind Zhao Lie.

    "How much?" Zhao Lie said indifferently.

    "All two hundred and thirty-seven people are missing."

    "Two hundred and thirty-seven people!" Zhao Liewei'an's body was shaken, and he turned back abruptly, staring at the soldier with sharp eyes.

    "Yes, General." The soldier did not dare to look at Zhao Lie and said with a trembling body.

    "Okay, I want to see what you are capable of." Zhao Lie looked at the vast primitive secondary forest. That place was originally the best dangerous barrier in Die City, but now it has become the biggest threat to Die City.  .

    Zhao Lie strode back to the office and issued a series of orders.

    A steady stream of intelligence officers were sent out, but bad news kept reaching Zhao Lie's office one after another.

    The periphery of Die City has become a death zone, and the entire Die City has been put under martial law. However, while under martial law, it is equivalent to losing contact with the outside world. This is something Zhao Lie did not expect.

    Time passed by, and there was still no sign of Zou Zichuan's troops. However, Zhao Lie's intelligence personnel were still disappearing in large numbers. Even the city defense personnel outside the city began to be attacked by sharp archers every moment.  There are reports of casualties

    Zhao Lie suddenly discovered that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.

    He lost contact with the 500,000 troops outside Die City, that is to say, he lost his command power inexplicably, and no one knew what the situation was like with the Eighteen-Nation Allied Forces.

    This is out of Zhao Lie¡¯s control.

    Zhao Lie always believed that Zou Zichuan would lead his tens of thousands of people to attack Die City. However, Zou Zichuan had no intention of attacking Die City at all. He only sent a large number of martial arts masters to form a team to hunt down the spies and correspondents outside Die City, thus isolating Die City.  Connections to the Periphery.

    It¡¯s been three days.

    It¡¯s been three whole days.

    Zhao Lie has completely lost contact with the outside world. Neither the outside spies nor the manpower he sent out can break through the trap set by Zou Zichuan.

    Zhao Lie is extremely anxious. Now, the only option is to take the initiative and gain contact with the outside world.

    Now, Zhao Lie is not worried about the safety of Die City. What he is most afraid of is that the 500,000-strong army encircling and suppressing the Eighteen-Nation Allied Forces will return to aid Die City without following the plan after losing contact with him. Then everything will be lost.  All previous efforts were wasted.

    high!

    It is indeed high!

    Zhao Lie looked at the vast primitive sub-forest with a cold expression on his face. He had to arrange an army to go out with his orders. This was his only choice.

    Three days is already a limit. In three days, if the army of 500,000 does not receive instructions from its commander, it will inevitably fall into a leaderless situation and be unable to coordinate operations.

    Zhao Lie can't wait any longer. Now that night is falling, he will personally lead 10,000 people to leave Die City without anyone noticing.

    "Prepare your horses!" Zhao Lie shouted coldly.

    ¡­¡­

    The dark clouds were overwhelming, the moonlight was appearing and disappearing, the sky looked extremely depressed and gloomy, the wind was strong, the flags outside the city were buzzing, and the soldiers guarding the city were in high spirits. Although the news of the spies being killed kept coming,  , it is not a blow to their morale, because the city is guarded by General Zhao Lie, and every soldier in the Galen Empire has a blind castle towards General Zhao Lie.

    Zhao Lie is an undefeated myth!

    Inside the city gate near the desert, an elite cavalry group was gathering. Zhao Lie was riding on a tall horse, carrying a bow and holding a nine-ringed sword at his waist.

    Zhao Lie¡¯s choice to break out of the encirclement in the direction of the Death Desert was a well-thought-out choice, because the only geographical location in this direction is a flat plain, which can allow the cavalry to reach its speed limit and quickly escape the opponent¡¯s sniper attack.

    Zhao Lie believed that even if the opponent was prepared, it would not be able to stop the 10,000 cavalry from charging in an instant.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In four hours, after he calmed down the 500,000-strong army outside, he could immediately return to Die City without anyone noticing.

    There were no firelights or military flags. The city gate opened quietly. Ten thousand cavalrymen all held curved bows with murderous intent. No one could stop their steps. They were the most elite cavalrymen in the Galen Empire. Their bows were powerful and their arrows were sharp.  , and their horses are all fine Wuzhen horses.

    In the open area inside the city gate, ten thousand cavalry had gathered into a charge formation. When the city gate opened, ten thousand cavalry poured out like a tide under the leadership of Zhao Lie. The black light armor, the  The black curved bow and the black black horse formed an indestructible black torrent, which rushed towards the desert at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour

    The ground shook, as if the sky was falling apart and the earth was splitting apart. The sound of the ten thousand cavalry running at extremely high speed was extremely frightening. The entire city seemed to be shaking.

    Zhao Lie felt the cold wind passing by his neck and ears, and the speed brought him a sense of pleasure.

    In just a few seconds, this cavalry team of ten thousand people was already far away from the city, and the heavy city gate was tightly closed. Zhao Lie's mouth showed a trace of pride. No one could block the torrent of his armor. If anyone blocked it at this time,  In front of you, you will definitely be shot into a hedgehog and then trampled into a ball of meat

    "The city is broken!"

    "The city is broken!"

    "Zhao Lie and the emperor escaped!"

    "Zhao Lie and the emperor escaped!"

    ¡­¡­

    At the moment when Zhao Lie led ten thousand cavalry to rush away, suddenly, fires suddenly rose up around Die City, huge sounds were shouted in the air, countless cavalry gathered towards Die City, dense arrow feathers seemed to  Like locusts, they descended on the outer wall of the city

    The city immediately fell into chaos. Rolling stones on the city wall and arrow feathers were falling wildly. The breath of fear spread in the air. People were waiting for the command of General Zhao Lie.

    "No, I fell into a trap!"

    Hearing the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami, Zhao Lie's face suddenly changed. After all, he stillHe was fooled, and spent three days just to force him out of Die City.

    In order not to cause confusion in the military morale, this operation was kept secret. Even the old emperor did not know about it. In other words, except for a few confidants among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, they all thought that Zhao Lie was still in the city.

    In this flash of lightning, countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Lie's mind.

    Obviously, if the original plan is still carried out at this time, when he comes back, Die City must have been captured. It was not Zou Zichuan who captured Die City, but Zhao Lie. Zhao Lie was very aware of his status among some soldiers.  If the soldiers were sure that he was not in Die City, they would probably collapse immediately

    "Back to the city!"

    Zhao Lie had no time to think about it. He suddenly shook the reins, and the black horse's hoofs were raised high. With a long neigh, this sturdy cavalry team actually made a sudden turn in the desert and ran towards Die City at lightning speed.  But, in fact, after their crazy running and Zhao Lie's short thinking, they were already more than three kilometers away from Die City.

    Ten thousand cavalry rushed toward the city in an overwhelming number. At this time, the firelight rising from the city could already be seen. Countless rockets swept bright lines in the air, and the shouts, screams, and the sound of horse hooves mixed together.  Suddenly, it seemed as if the entire city was in a sea of ??fire.

    Each of the 20,000 archers shot at least five rockets. The rockets did not cause substantial damage to the city, but they caused unprecedented fear. The fear of the city being broken permeated the entire city. Some senior generals  They desperately said that Zhao Lie was in the city, but their panicked expressions betrayed them, and the atmosphere of fear filled the city like poison

    The momentum created by the 10,000 cavalry breakout just now made anyone believe that Zhao Lie really escaped.

    Of course, despair is one thing, but fighting is another thing. After all, those who stay in Die City are the elites of the Twenty Thousand Gallon Empire, and everyone has the idea of ????sacrifice for the country. However,  What makes people weird is that although the sky is filled with arrows and the sound of crazy horse hooves running, in fact, there is no sign of being endangered up and down the city wall. The enemy is more of an attacking posture and does not get close at all.  Signs of the city walls¡­

    Why is this happening?

    "Boom, boom, boom"

    "Boom, boom, boom"

    ¡­¡­

    There was an overwhelming sound of horse hoofbeats, and the hearts of the officers and soldiers guarding the city skipped a beat. It seemed that the other side had begun to launch a real attack.

    At this moment, the soldiers who were ready to die for their country bent their bows and drew arrows.

    "Whizzing¡­¡­"

    "Whizzing¡­¡­"

    "Whizzing¡­¡­"

    ¡­¡­

    Locust-like arrow feathers shot towards the dark city wall, which was the only place without rockets. The soldiers could only see from the dim light of the fire that the cavalry, which stretched for miles, was charging madly.

    This is an army without a flag.

    The ruthless arrow feathers shattered the opponent's attack. For a moment, people fell on their backs and screamed. People kept bending their bows and arrows. There was no need to aim at the opponent. The opponent's formation was too dense. As long as they shot out, they would definitely hit.  There are people or horses, but the black torrent is still rushing towards the city gate

    "It's General Zhao!"

    One of Zhao Lie's confidants saw the familiar armor in the dim light of the fire, woke up in shock, and shouted.

    "Ahit's General Zhao"

    Immediately, some senior officers became confused and quickly asked the soldiers to stop shooting.

    The city gate opened amidst shouts, and the cavalry team rushed in like a tornado. Zhao Lie's shoulder was dripping with blood, and a sharp black arrow shot at his shoulder. His face was pale. He had to  Rush to the city as soon as possible to appease the soldiers

    In the darkness, countless cavalrymen gathered towards the small city gate.

    "Martial artsah"

    The moment a cavalryman rushed into the city gate, he saw a strong man sitting on a giant horse holding two hammers and rushed into the city gate at the same time. His liver and gallbladder burst into tears, and he shouted suddenly, but it was already too late.  The giant hammer just passed over his head lightly, and his head was smashed into pieces. The red and white pieces flew in the air. The body fell to the ground and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the galloping horses.

    "Peng!"

    "Peng!"

    "Peng!"

    ¡­¡­

    Wuke¡¯s pair of giant hammers were flying crazily in the air like hammer flies, invincible. Countless martial arts masters were mixed in with the cavalry like a tide.After entering the heavy city gate, of course when the officers and soldiers guarding the city realized something was wrong, it was already too late, and the flow of people rushed in uncontrollably.

    "The city is broken!"

    "The city is broken!"

    "Don't let the old emperor run away!"

    ¡­¡­

    After people entered the city, they immediately started to light torches and set fires. There were fires everywhere, and the sky was reflected blood red by the monstrous fires. Screams kept ringing in the air, and houses one after another were destroyed by giant horses.  The corpses of war horses were piled on the road, and the streets were in chaos.

    The outer city wall of Die City was completely broken.

    Standing on the high city, looking at the outer city wall with flames soaring into the sky, the old emperor's lips kept trembling. Beside him, stood three strong middle-aged men in black clothes.

    "Why" The old emperor's body was crumbling.

    No one answered the old emperor. The three men in black looked at each other and sighed softly. Before the three of them had time to act, the outer wall of Die City had been broken, and the 50,000 troops in the inner city of Die City had been destroyed.  After all the troops were mobilized, there were less than 2,000 defenders. After the outer city was destroyed, the inner city was useless. The 2,000 soldiers were unable to defend the huge city.

    This is the answer that no one expected. Even the old emperor's worst plan was for Zou Zichuan to use some means to capture Zhao Lie outside. He never thought that Die City would be destroyed. After all, in this Die City, there was the Gallen Empire.  The most elite 30,000 soldiers, and precisely because they were the most elite, the old emperor turned a blind eye to Zhao Lie's transfer of the city defense troops.

    ¡­¡­

    The so-called "mountain-mountain defeat" is exactly how to describe this moment.

    When the soldiers who were resisting bravely saw Wu Ke's huge double hammers, their fighting spirit completely disappeared. Wu Ke's god-of-war existence, except for his military strategy, could not compete with Zhao Lie, and his bravery was frightening.  .

    The injured Zhao Lie stood on the city wall, looking at the fires burning everywhere, with a painful expression in his eyes. He was not organizing people to resist. At this time, any organized resistance would be met with a head-on attack. After all, the opponent was  Thirty thousand martial arts masters. Although martial arts is not suitable for large-scale army operations, it is more suitable for this kind of city-breaking street fighting

    The most important thing is that Zhao Lie can no longer give orders. The entire outer city of Diancheng has been cut into several pieces by the swarming cavalry. The 10,000 elite cavalry he led suffered a heavy blow from the defending officers and soldiers at the beginning.  , followed by the cavalry led by Wu Ke, they were defeated and the army was completely defeated.

    The city is broken!

    The city is broken!

    Zhao Lie¡¯s lips kept trembling. Slowly, he rushed to his waist and pulled out the nine-ring sword that weighed dozens of kilograms

    "General, no!" A lieutenant general was shocked, ran over and hugged Zhao Lie tightly. Almost at the same time, several personal guards gathered around and hugged Zhao Lie.

    "Step back." Zhao Lie's body did not move, and several guards hugged him tightly, their voices were cold and lifeless.

    "General, let's leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood. We still have an army of 500,000 people"

    "Stay back!"

    "General!"

    "Stand back!" Zhao Lie had a cold expression on his face and looked at the vast starry sky with deep eyes.

    ""

    The group of guards finally retreated slowly, but everyone looked at Zhao Lie with vigilance. If Zhao Lie made the slightest move, they would probably pounce on him.

    "Ihow can I see the current emperor" Zhao Lie, who had a heart as strong as iron, suddenly burst into tears. He raised the nine-ring sword and gently stroked the bright metal ring.

    ¡°Da¡­it¡¯s General Zhao Lie and Zhao who is upstairs. I am a martial artist. How dare you come down and fight me!¡±

    Suddenly, a young man riding a giant horse below the tower shouted loudly, raised his hammers and shouted.

    "I've seen General Wu." Zhao Lie's face suddenly changed as he burst into tears. He walked to the edge of the inner city wall and looked at the mighty Wu Ke below with a cold look on his face.

    Two famous generals of the same generation met for the first time.

    The two looked at each other without speaking, as if they were having a silent communication.

    "Haha, that's right. My opponent, Mr. Wu, is a peerless hero like you. General Zhao's magnanimity makes Mr. Wu deeply impressed!"

    "Really! Zhao is now a defeated general, how can he win people's hearts?" Zhao Lie looked at his former opponent with an indifferent expression.

    "Hahahaha General Zhao, don't belittle yourself. Without further ado, can I fight San Lily with Mr. Wu?"

    "If you want to fight, then fight!"

     With a sound of "Qiang!", Zhao Lie stretched out his long arm and let out a cold snort. The long knife penetrated into the stone of the city tower. The moment the sound of cutting into the ground was heard, Zhao Lie's long bow was already in his hand.  , bend the bow and set up an arrow

    "Whoosh"

    "Whoosh"

    "Whoosh"

    Three consecutive arrows swept up an afterimage in the air, and actually formed a consistent line from front to back, and flew towards Wuke under the city tower at lightning speed. The sound of breaking through the air made people feel heart-stopping, and the sound was extremely terrifying
