Chapter 517: It's too late to go now
On Nanping Mountain, the Hu Ben Army did not build any defensive positions, because the Hu Ben Army has always been the attacking side, and living to death is their belief. Although they know that they are in desperate situations, they still silently tidied up their armor, combed their horse's hair, polished their weapons, and waited for the order of the attack to rush down the mountain.
Time slipped away minute by minute, but the order for the attack was not issued for a long time. The soldiers were not in a hurry, because they knew that it would be only two days at the latest, because they did not carry much military ration, and stayed for one more day, the possibility of failure would be greater.
At the foot of Nanping Mountain, the enemy had no intention of attacking. Instead, they began to dig trenches at the foot of the mountain, erected low walls, covered with thorns, resisted horses, and deer antlers. Standing at the foot of the mountain, you could clearly see the crossbows and catapults.
The enemies at the foot of the mountain knew their weaknesses deeply, and they were going to wait for them to fall into the trap.
In the simple small tent, Kang Qiao knelt in front of Wu Jian.
"Your Majesty, please go. You can go alone. With your master's ability, it is very likely to break through the opponent's defense and return to Yuejing City." Kang Qiao begged bitterly.
"What can I do if I go back? Without the Hu Ben Army and the powerful force, returning to Yuejing City is just waiting for the next failure." Wu Jian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.
"Your Majesty, as long as you return to Yuejing City, everything is possible, but you stay here without a little hope." Kang Qiao said loudly. "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up!"
With a bang, Wu Jian threw away the wine glass and covered his face with both hands: "I didn't expect that the country of Dayue would die in my hands for more than a hundred years."
"Your Majesty, Xu Jie is still gathering troops in Zhengyang County. Half of the Dayue is still loyal to the court. As long as you return to Yuejing, you can gather troops again. If it is not possible, you can still bring your troops to retreat into the mountains and accumulate strength. In a hope that one day you can make a comeback. If you die here, everything will be gone. Please tell me that the Crown Prince cannot bear such a crisis!" Kang Qiao kowtowed heavily: "I am willing to lead the remaining soldiers of the Hu Ben Army to attack the enemy after dark. All the Hu Ben soldiers are willing to protect Your Majesty with blood and return to Yuejing safely."
Wu Jian stopped talking, just covered his face and sobbed. Kang Qiao knocked three times in a row, stood up, tightened the belt of his waist and armor, turned around and strode out of the tent.
The night gradually opened up, and bonfires were lit up at the foot of the mountain. Standing on the mountain, you could clearly see the military deployment at the foot of the mountain. The enemy seemed to have no concern about the facts of the Hu Ben Army. Of course, this also fully demonstrated their confidence. No matter which direction the Hu Ben Army broke through, they would not be able to escape their nets of heaven and earth.
The lights are also brightly lit on the mountain, and the Taiping Army and Luo Yishui Army at the foot of the mountain can also see the movements of the Hu Ben Army clearly.
On the top of a big tree, Kang Qiao was standing. In front of him, teams of cavalry and infantrymen were lined up, and a pile of fire was burning.
Kang Qiao returned to the top of the mountain, and the light was still there in the lonely tent. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a smile. At this time, His Majesty had not shown up yet, so he naturally agreed to his advice.
"What?" The wild dog jumped up suddenly, "I still have nearly two thousand warriors, and I can still fight in the Canglang Camp. Dead cat, don't leave me."
The kitten suddenly pulled his face, "Wild Dog, I am ordered by the general to take charge of the military order. The order I issued from my mouth at this moment is the Taiping Army's military order. Do you want to disobey the military order?"
"I!" The wild dog was furious, but when he saw the kitten's serious face at this moment, he held back the rest of his words, and his face turned red. The kitten snorted coldly, turned around and strode out of the tent. For a moment, there was a loud noise of military horns outside the tent. After a chaotic riot, the neat footsteps immediately left.
When Kang Qiao drove his horse into the dense enemy army formation, and when the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army filled the trench with their bodies and used their war horses to break the chest wall, and faced the bright spear blade reflecting the light of fire, Wu Jian finally walked out of his small tent.
He was holding an arrow in his hand, but Moro's cloud-piercing bow was on his back. The only two arrows were hanging on his back. He looked deeply at the Hu Ben Army, which was surrounded by heavy siege. At this moment, the military flag of Baoqing Camp and the military flag of the Miners' Camp had already penetrated into the battlefield from both wings. On the front battlefield, the military flag of the Taiping Army's Panshi Camp also joined the defensive lineup that blocked the Hu Ben Army. Further away, a fire dragon was slowly unfolding. With his eyesight, he could naturally clearly see the flying military flag of the Tiger Camp.
The Hu Ben Army is over, and they cannot break out of the encirclement.
Wu Jian took a deep breath, moved slightly, and had disappeared from the spot. After a while, he had left Nanping Mountain, crossed Longyou County, and rushed towards Zhongping County.
The noise of the battlefield gradually faded away from him. The bright moonlight shone the cold light on the empty fields. The stars in the sky blinked their little eyes in the sky, as if they were staring at the emperor who escaped in the battle. However, Wu Jian's degree was getting faster and faster. Even if he did not have the possibility of saving Yuejing, he could lead the last remaining force to retreat into the mountains. The world would be in chaos and retreat into the mountains. Perhaps there would be a chance to make a comeback.
Kang Qiao is right, only by living can you have hope. When you die, there is no hope.
The moonlight in the sky suddenly flashed, and the stars seemed to stop blinking at this moment. A faint murderous intent in the air made Wu Jianji's figure stop like lightning.
A figure slowly appeared in front of him. The man raised his hand, and with a light sound, a small ball of fire appeared in the man's hand. He threw it casually, and a small ball of fire fell to the ground, and a loud bang and a pile of fire ignited. Under the reflection of the flames, Luo Yishui appeared in Wu Jian's eyes.
"Wu Jian, it's true that Qin Feng expected that you would leave your army and run away alone, but now you're leaving, don't you think it's too late?" Luo Yishui pulled out the long sword inch by inch and pointed at Wu Jian from afar, "The souls of hundreds of people from my Luo clan are waiting for you in Luoshui!"
Wu Jian's face changed a few times, and he looked at Luo Yishui viciously: "What, are you the only one? You just want to stop me?"
"Of course it's not me alone!" Luo Yishui laughed.
A little further away, a small ball of fire lit up. Then with a bang, another bonfire was lit. At the edge of the fire, Huo Guang stood with his hands pressing the hilt of his waist and forked his legs.
On the other side, another fire was lit. Standing beside the fire was Qin Feng carrying an iron knife on his shoulder.
