Chapter 296 Looking forward
Luoyang city is broken!
Although only Yingtianmen has been breached, Yingtianmen is not just a matter of face for Luoyang.
When Koo Zhong's head was hung up on the glorious gate tower of Yingtianmen by a masked warrior, the city defenders who had the upper hand immediately collapsed.
In fact, the first to collapse were the generals who commanded the battle.
Ordinary soldiers may have heard of Kou Zhong's name, but naturally they don't know what Kou Zhong looks like.
But the generals know it!
Kou Zhong is their backbone, their courage, and their confidence in defending Luoyang.
But this person they relied on has now lost his head.
The controller of Black Ice Platform, an innate warrior who had been famous for decades, died like this?
I'm just dreaming, right?
But the head is still hanging on the gate tower, and it is still dripping blood!
It’s over!
What’s the point of working hard now? You have to think about what to do next.
If you want to have a way out, you must have strength in your hands to have bargaining conditions.
Fighting to the death with Feng Congwen in the Wufeng Tower of Yingtianmen will greatly damage his strength, and he will not have enough capital in the future.
What's more, even a great master like Kou Zhong is dead. What if the innate master who killed Kou Zhong doesn't like him and comes to give him a blow?
I guess I won’t even have a chance to fight back, right?
So the generals ran away.
They didn’t run away alone, they ran away with their subordinates.
Feng Congwen looked up at the bloody head, feeling a little sad. This was a powerful official who had been in power for decades, beneath one person in the Qin Dynasty and above ten thousand people!
But death is like this.
Yang Jian and Mr. Yang are really amazing!
Feng Congwen sighed in his heart.
But then an officer came in a hurry, shattering his emotion into pieces, and even made him panic.
"General, Mr. Yang is dead!"
"How could Mr. Yang die?" Feng Congwen pointed to the head on the gatehouse with a trembling hand: "Isn't Kou Zhong dead?"
"Probably They died together!" the officer whispered, "We found Duke Yang's body in the East Palace Hall, sitting cross-legged, and Kou Zhong's body fell opposite him, but there was no head!"
said! At this point, the officer raised his head and glanced at the head hanging on the city gate.
“Then who cut off Kou Zhong’s head?”
"Perhaps he is a subordinate of Duke Yang!" the officer whispered: "Look at that man's skill, he is at least the ninth grade of Xuanyuan!"
Feng Congwen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that this is terrible How to explain to the Hong family and the Yang family!
Even though the Yang family has been a wealthy family for thousands of years, they probably don’t have any more innate masters, right?
Now that Yang Jian is betrayed by him, will they hate him?
"Control yourself and send him back to the Hongnong Yang family!" Feng Congwen said.
"Where's Kou Zhong?"
"Then I'll hang out here for a few days!" Feng Congwen gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
The Battle of Hedong was planned by Kou Zhong. Thousands of people in Yuanzhi, the side room of the main house of the Feng family, were killed, leaving only three or two big cats and kittens. .
Report in this world, we must hurry up!
The Gucheng Kou family, your pillar is dead, and next, it will be you.
Whatever our Feng family has suffered, you will not let it go.
"It is announced to the whole city that Kou Zhong is dead. Those who surrender will have merit, and those who resist will be punished by the clan!" Feng Congwen said sternly.
Xingyang, battlefield.
The night is slowly closing, and the two sides in the fierce battle are slowly disengaging.
The attacker did not try his best, and the defender seemed unwilling to give it a try. Both sides were holding back their strength and fighting, who was more resilient.
But now it seems that it is difficult to determine the winner for a while.
Needless to say, He Zudao's personal army headquarters, the main body inside is the elite of the southern army. They have been fighting against the Chu army for decades. What's more important is that a few years ago, they experienced Xiang The defeat of the city, a major defeat like this, generally has two outcomes for those involved.
Either the mind is destroyed and there is no determination to fight anymore, or the mind becomes more mature and stronger.
He Zudao followed Wu De back to the south to recruit troops last year. It is self-evident what kind of people he picked.
As for the Green Forest Army, Zhang Quanyi didn't take them seriously at all since they didn't suffer a fatal blow. Secondly, He Zudao's headquarters is still there and seems to be so strong. Naturally, they were full of fighting spirit.
Zhang Quanyi's army has a well-trained army of 20,000, and its overall combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than that of He Zudao now. But Zhang Quanyi wants to use all his strength to fight He Zudao, and he doesn't care even if he loses some generals for it?
Of course not!
He Zudao is just a troublemaker. The real masterminds don't care whether he wins or loses.
If Zhang Quanyi and He Zudao fight and both sides suffer losses, they will be the happiest.
The 50,000 troops under Zhang Quanyi, plus the 50,000 troops in Luoyang commanded by Wei Yi, are the last organized and trustworthy troops loyal to Da Qin.
Even the Guanlong area, where the royal family came from, now has second thoughts.
These 100,000 troops are seeds. If it is not necessary, Zhang Quanyi will never do such a lose-lose thing. They are all waiting.
Waiting for big changes in the external war situation.
He Zudao made a plan to get rid of himself, but he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his men and underestimated the imperial army.
Feng Congwen's attack on Luoyang might deceive Kou Dayin at first, but as long as He Zudao didn't arrive, Kou Dayin would have immediately guessed He Zudao's purpose with his keenness. All he had to do was use all the Luoyang army to defeat Feng Congwen first, and then attack again. If support comes, then there is no need to say that this trip will be destined to return without success.
As for whether He Zudao can be annihilated, Zhang Quanyi is actually not that urgent.
Those who are more anxious than myself may be those wealthy and aristocratic families!
He Zudao has tens of thousands of troops who need to eat and drink. Among them are tens of thousands of Green Forest Army whose military discipline is extremely corrupt. As time goes by, they will definitely not be able to stand it any longer, and they will definitely burn, kill, and loot. It's not bad anymore. At that time, Luoyang will have something to talk with those big families who are swaying around and want to watch the fun.
A knife is only useful when you can hold the handle. Once out of control, it will stab anyone in the opposite direction. Who can stand it?
He Zudao was naturally waiting.
But what he was waiting for was not the battle in Luoyang.
The purpose of Feng Congwen going there was just to hold back part of Luoyang's defenders.
He Zudao really doesn’t care whether he can break Luoyang.
As long as some of the troops are held back and Kou Yin is held in Luoyang at the same time, that will be enough.
He Zudao valued Feng Kuan's troops and relied on the thousands of demon sect warriors headed by Ke Wuji.
This is a powerful fighting force that no one can predict.
The Demon Cult can always give you unexpected surprises. This was true decades ago, and it will be true decades later.
After the Battle of Hedong, although he realized something was wrong and led his army across the river to escape Kou Zhong's plot, he was indeed in deep trouble.
Just like decades ago, apart from doing things according to the intentions of those who operate them, no matter how hard you try, it will still be meaningless in the end.
After harassing people in Hexi for a while, and then going straight to Qingzhou and other places for a period of burning, killing and looting, He Zudao finally understood this truth.
I once thought that such killings were the best revenge for Qin, Kou Zhong, and Wei Zhengdao, but in fact, they also fell into the calculations of others.
This is what they want.
Such a discovery made He Zudao angry, but also felt deeply powerless.
No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the fate of being a knife?
And just when he was most hesitant and helpless, the Demon Cult came to his door.
The world is a strange circle. You think you have escaped, but along the way, you find that you are back to the starting point.
Thirty years ago, those who he had betrayed came to his door again, bringing a glimmer of light to He Zudao in the darkness, allowing him to see a chance to truly get rid of those who were behind the scenes, and even Come to the table to enjoy this delicious banquet when you have the opportunity.
Then what is there to hesitate about?
Of course, I fully agree to the other party’s conditions. For a drowning person who is about to drown, he will never let go if he grabs a straw, not to mention that the one stretched out by the devil is a big driftwood.
As for whether the promised conditions can be fulfilled in the future, let’s wait and see!
If we really return to the south and reunite the army of the eight southern towns, everything will be possible.
At the worst, you can still turn to Nan Chu. If you want to come to the Eight Towns in the South, you can definitely change your position as a prince in the Chu Kingdom, right?
Picking up the wine bowl on the table, He Zudao drank the wine in one breath, picked up the epee, and walked out of the tent.
Personally patrolling the camp is a habit he has formed over decades.
It is basically impossible for a mature general to do such a thing as attacking a camp, but Zhang Quanyi was born in Heibingtai and was used to such sneaky things, so he might do it.
And there is also the Green Forest Army in his company. If the target of the night attack is them, as long as they cause these guys to blow up the camp, they may really capsize their ship in the gutter.
So I arranged it myself.
But during the day, Zhang Quanyi seemed to be extremely stable.
When fighting, he is the kind of person who would rather have no success but seek no fault.
And since the opponent is himself, there is a high probability that he will not think that he will make such a loophole. If it seems that there is a loophole, it must be a conspiracy.
He should also be waiting for the final results of the troops he sent out!
The results will be available tomorrow at the latest.
This is an upright fight. The pieces played by both sides are clear and clear.
Of course, the little tricks hidden behind the uprightness depends on each person's ability.
Of course, the troops Zhang Quanyi sent out also had some tricks.
As the current prince, Li Tai’s cultivation level at the eighth level of Xuanyuan is not bad. What’s more important is that his prince’s bodyguards, although there are only a hundred people, are the worst at the sixth level of Qi Control. Zhang Quanyi values it.
He Zudao was looking forward to that moment.
Looking forward to when Prince Li Tai and his guards collide head-on with the Demon Cult warriors led by Ke Wuji.
