Chapter 1244 Destroying the Bridge
The smoke was so thick that Chu Jingqi and the others lost their direction in the fog, and they could not feel the breath of Mr. Zhao and others.
Chu Yuexi exclaimed, "No, a bunch of thieves from the Zhao family have escaped."
Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen subconsciously wanted to lead people to chase them, but no matter how far they ran, there was still a layer of fog around them and they couldn't see anything.
What made them even more frightened was that Chu Yuexi made it clear that he felt that he was by his side, but when they looked for him, they couldn't find him anywhere.
It was like hitting a wall with a ghost that I had encountered before.
Chu Jingqi, Ao Tianchen and others were worried that they would inhale the poisonous fog, so they did not dare to speak. After searching carefully in the fog for more than half an hour, the fog finally dispersed on its own.
When they could clearly see the surrounding scene, everyone discovered that they had been wandering around the door of the yamen, and the flames in the yamen were still burning. However, the people who came to put out the fire were scared away by the fighting, so they were the only ones around. There was no one else around, and all the Zhao family members had fled, and no one was seen.
Chu Yuexi gritted her teeth, "Damn, I've been depressed for so long. I wanted to go on a killing spree, but they ran away in the end."
"Today's results are not bad. The Shengjin Yamen was burned down, the Zhao family was forced back, and the 80,000 soldiers they had just recruited were rebelled. The most important thing is that more than half of the Zhao family's dead soldiers died." Ao Tianchen's lips curled up. Qiao said, pointing to the bodies lying on the ground.
Most of these corpses were killed by the secret guards before the fog emerged. Later, after the fog emerged, the secret guards were restrained and did not dare to use killing moves indiscriminately. They were also worried that they would accidentally kill someone on their side.
The dead men of the Zhao family took the opportunity to rescue the people captured by Chu Jingqi, and fled Shengjincheng with the eldest son of the Zhao family and others.
They originally wanted to escape to the military camp, but before they reached the military camp, they saw 80,000 rebel soldiers and horses besieging General Yu and others to death.
The second master of the Zhao family was furious and wanted to rush forward to rescue General Yu, but was held back by his son. "Dad, leave quickly. If you don't leave, we won't be able to leave."
Young Master Zhao also sneered coldly, "Uncle, just a few of us can fight against 80,000 soldiers and horses? Even if they are just three-legged cat kung fu, the wheel battle can still tire us to death. We'd better hurry up first." Let’s talk about escaping here. The soldiers below will wait until they reach Poyang City. If we don’t run away, when the fog clears and Chu Jingqi and the others come out, we won’t be able to escape even if we want to.”
Poyang City is the last city occupied by the Zhao family, and it is also the most prosperous city in the northwest. The best grandchildren of the Zhao family, his wife, and others are all in the Zhao residence in Poyang City.
The Zhao family has long bought a six-entry mansion in Poyang City, and there are still 5,000 troops staying there. Moreover, the prefect of Poyang City is also someone secretly trained by the Zhao family. In recent years, with the instructions and financial resources of the Zhao family, With the support, they had been recruiting troops secretly for a long time. In six years, they had 30,000 troops.
However, when several cities were lost, more than 10,000 people were killed or injured, and of the remaining 10,000 people, 8,000 soldiers and horses were left in Poyang City, and the remaining 5,000 or 6,000 soldiers and horses were in Shengjin City.
Now, I only fear that I will die at the hands of these 80,000 recruits.
That's why the second master of the Zhao family was so angry that he rushed forward to fight for his life.
The Zhao family has few soldiers and horses, and they have sacrificed themselves repeatedly. If this continues, the Zhao family will die in the northwest sooner or later.
The second master of the Zhao family said to the eldest master of the Zhao family, "Brother, I think those few talented people in the family should not stay in Poyang City. It is better to send them out as soon as possible for safety."
When Poyang City was destroyed by Chu Jingqi and the Zhao family was imprisoned again, the Zhao family could still leave a few seedlings and a few drops of blood.
Given time, he can rise up and avenge them. "Then send it to my master." The eldest young master of the Zhao family said, "I will repair a letter for the master. For my sake, the master will not kick them out."
"Then let's do it. Let's go back to Poyang City."
In a short period of time, the Zhao family abandoned Shengjin City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and fled to Poyang City.
Poyang City is the last city they own, and it is also the most prosperous city in the northwest with the most people.
Poyang City, like Shengjin City, is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. One is built to the east of Wutong Mountain, and the other is located to the west of Wutong Mountain. One Wutong Mountain spans half of the Northwest, separating the entire western part of the Northwest.
Therefore, the Northwest is divided into eastern and western parts.
Poyang City is located at the foot of Wutong Mountain. It is the city closest to the east and the only place that people from the east and west must pass through.
The west is vast and sparsely populated, with a vast area and complex and diverse geography. The westernmost border is a vast plateau that can’t be seen at a glance. It is said that through that plateau, you can still see people with blue eyes, yellow hair, and white skin. people.
However, those are all legends. No one has actually seen it with their own eyes, and no one has traveled through that plateau.
On the other hand, the people in the west live in poverty. They guard countless loess fields, but cannot produce much food. The people dig the soil all day long, but they don't even have enough to eat. The cold wind blows and yellow sand flies. All over the sky, the lives of the people were miserable.
However, even if they don't have enough to eat, many businessmen are eyeing the west. They bring some tea, silk, dried fruits and other items that are not found in the northwest all year round to sell in the west, and then buy some unique embroidery, jewelry, antiques and other items unique to the west. Go back to the Jiangnan Jingcheng area to buy.
Just like this, reselling back and forth, over time, Poyang City, which is closest to Wutong Mountain and the only place that must be passed from the east to the west, has become a place for businessmen coming and going, and it has also become a major commercial city in the northwest.
To go from Shengjin City to Poyang City, you must pass through Wutong Mountain. During this period, you must also pass a wooden bridge built on the cliffs on both sides.
When the Zhao family passed the wooden bridge, in order to prevent Chu Jingqi from catching up with them, they destroyed the wooden bridge. Half an hour after they left, Chu Jingqi and his group came after them in a hurry and saw that the bridge had been broken by a machete. The wooden bridge hung pitifully and swayed below the cliff, and below the cliff was a cliff thousands of feet deep, bottomless.
Chu Yuexi jumped up angrily and cursed, "Insidious, really insidious, even the only road has been destroyed. What can we do now?"
"What else can we do? We have to fly over and take Poyang City back." Ao Tianchen said with a dark face.
How could their proud family allow a few little bugs from the Zhao family to cause trouble?
Chu Jingqi turned the horse's head and said, "We will discuss it when we go back."
The road has been destroyed. What can I do if I get angry again? Why not go back and study it carefully to see if we can find a new way out.
