Chapter nine hundred and twentieth seventh: the death of the car
Three days later, Zhou Jiyun finally couldn't sit still in the tent anymore. He went to the front line in person. The Chu army's offensive this time was too strange. It lasted for three days and almost never stopped. Even within three days, under the strict defense of the Qi army, they died no less than 5,000 people in the battle, but they did not have the tendency to stop. Such desperate battles made Zhou Jiyun feel surprised. He had had a very long deal with Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao, and this was not their style.
Standing on the high ground and staring at the battlefield below, the Chu army was still attacking forward one after another. After being defeated and left behind the corpses everywhere, they temporarily retreated, but after a moment, another Chu army rushed up again.
As he looked at it, Zhou Jiyun's face finally changed a little.
"Go and recruit Bai Song over." He said to his personal soldiers.
Bai Song is a powerful general under Zhou Jiyun.
"General!" Bai Song, who rushed over, was covered in blood on his armor. Obviously, as the commander of the front line, he also personally got off the battlefield.
"Have you been like this all these days?" Zhou Jiyun pointed to the battlefield in the distance.
"Yes, General. The Chu army is better than anything else, but there are too many long-range attack weapons. I almost have an illusion that Old Man Cheng has concentrated all his long-range weapons here." Bai Song shook his head and said in confusion. "Is this a life-threatening attack? But the Chu army's offensive is strong and weak, which makes people unable to understand."
Zhou Jiyun's face suddenly collapsed. He looked back at Yue Kaishan who was following him. Yue Kaishan also looked suddenly and smiled bitterly.
"I hope it's not too late!" Yue Kaishan said.
"What's not too late?" Bai Song was a little puzzled.
"I'm going to be the old man in Cheng." Zhou Jiyun swallowed, "Damn, I still underestimated him after all. He really dared to make such a determination. No matter their emperor, I ran away. Opening the mountain, how many days have he run? Three days?"
"Two days at most!" Yue Kaishan shook his head.
"Two days?" Zhou Jiyun smiled again, "In this kind of weather, I can't run too far in two days. I still have hope of catching up with him. Even if I can't catch up with him and chase him over with his butt, he will not have the chance to slap his feet."
"General, do you think Mr. Cheng ran away? Then here is it?" Bai Song pointed to the battlefield in the distance.
"There are some elites in a group of mobs!" Zhou Jiyun sighed, "There are no worries under the reputation. Cheng Wuben cut off his arm. He left all the auxiliary soldiers and took over at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers, just to change the main force to escape. Hehe, I'm afraid he may not be able to escape. Bai Song."
"The last one will be here!" Bai Song said loudly.
"Send the entire army to attack, counterattack, and eliminate all the enemies in front of you." Zhou Jiyun waved his hand and said.
"As for your order!" Bai Song turned around and strode away.
"Come here, call the cavalry and prepare to pursue." Zhou Jiyun turned around and walked back: "Brother Yue, I want to lead the troops to chase Cheng Laoer himself, so you can stay in the camp."
Yue Kaishan nodded. "Be careful, Old Man Cheng killed you and shot you back."
"Of course, so I want to call all the cavalry back." Zhou Jiyun smiled.
While walking back, the two of them discussed some details of the pursuit. Several fast horses rushed from a distance, rushed to the two, turned over and dismounted. Seeing their outfit, they were scouts sent by Qi Jun. However, the two of them looked a little more miserable now, their bodies were covered with scars, their helmets were gone, and their black hair was shaved into Yin-Yang heads. Seeing Zhou Jiyun kneeling on the ground, she felt ashamed.
Zhou Jiyun's pupils contracted.
"General, we were ordered to pursue the cavalry of Chu, but were captured inadvertently, which would insult the power of the Great Qi army and would die!" Several scouts touched the ground with their foreheads.
Zhou Jiyun looked at them coldly. Once the scout was captured, there was no reason to survive. Why did the Chu cavalry let them back?
"Where are the Chu cavalry?" he asked coldly.
"They have crossed the river and far away from Zhou County." A scout-like leader took out something from his arms and raised his hands over his head. "A general of Qi asked me to bring this letter to the general."
After receiving the letter from the scout, Zhou Jiyun did not rush to open it, "What is the name of that general of Chu? Do you know?"
"That man said that his name is Jiang Tao, and he is the general's old friend!" the scout replied.
Zhou Jiyun raised the thin envelope in his hand, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. After a while, he slowly tore open the seal.
The one that catches your eye is a painting. Jiang Tao's painting skills are good, and the place he paints is quite familiar to Zhou Jiyun. The towering city walls and high-flying flags stand a little further away on Tianlong Mountain outside the city. The place on Jiang Tao's painting is the capital of Qi, Chang'an.
Can you invite me to buy wine under Chang'an City to make a drunk together?
A line of large characters dripping ink, gold hook and silver painting. Looking at the line of large characters, Zhou Jiyun seemed to see Jiang Tao laughing at the sky after writing this line of characters.
He couldn't help but clench his fists, and the joints of his body were clattering at this moment.
"Jiyun, he just made a random painting to disturb your mind. Even if his ten thousand cavalry rushed to Chang'an, do you think he could kill under Chang'an City?" Yue Shankai raised his voice and said sternly.
Zhou Jiyun's body shook slightly and suddenly woke up: "Of course he can't kill the city of Chang'an, but he can kill the sea of corpses and blood along the way, and turn the place he passes into pieces of white land. If he is allowed to kill to the city of Chang'an, even when he arrives at Chang'an, he will only be alone, and I think my head will not be able to be saved."
Yue Kaishan suddenly fell silent.
"Kaishan, do you think Cheng Wu had really withdrawn?" Zhou Jiyun asked suddenly.
Yue Kaishan thought for a while, but his originally clear thought suddenly became a little confused. Is Cheng Wuben going to run away or to Luzhou? At this moment, he really couldn't explain it clearly.
"I figured it out. This strategy was not designed by Cheng Wuben, it was created by Jiang Tao." Zhou Jiyun sighed: "I lost in one game. He did put me in a dilemma. Should I continue to stay and attack Cheng Wuben, or pursue him?"
Yue Kaishan smiled bitterly.
"I can only chase him." Zhou Jiyun shook his head: "Kaishan, I will take all the cavalry to pursue Jiang Tao. No matter what, I cannot let him start a massacre in the heart of our Qi Kingdom to harm the people. You, take all the infantry and head straight to Kunling Pass!"
"What if Cheng Wuben didn't leave at all, but wanted to go to Luzhou?" Yue Kaishan asked.
"No matter who he is, you just focus on and advance to Kunling Pass steadily. If Cheng Wuben wants to go to Luzhou, then let him go. I will write a letter to the prince. But I have a intuition that since Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao even used this trick, they would never go to Luzhou to die."
"You have to be careful. Although Jiang Tao is a scholar, he uses strange weapons and is very happy to use a sword to make a sharp edge. Although such a person is a double-edged sword, once he succeeds, he will suffer heavy losses."
"Double-edged sword, killing enemies and hurting yourself. I'm not afraid of such a guy. If he wins me, I'll take his head back." Zhou Jiyun was just a little lost in his mind for a moment before, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to his original expression.
"I'll get Jiang Tao, you take Kunling Pass down. If Cheng Wu had really slipped back, he would definitely not have stayed at Kunling Pass for too long. He knew very well that Kunling Pass could not be defended." Zhou Jiyun said.
"Indeed, Cheng Wuben has this vision. If he really retreats, he will definitely retreat to Jinghu and where to rebuild the garrison line." Yue Kaishan nodded.
"Jinghu!" Zhou Jiyun suddenly laughed: "Ghost Shadow has some means, I hope this time can play a role. If Ghost Shadow's action can be successful this time, then even if Cheng Wuben retreats to Jinghu, he will still not be able to defend it."
Yue Kaishan's body shook slightly. Looking at Zhou Jiyun, Zhou Jiyun had no intention of continuing.
"Kaishan, sorry, I can't tell you this news for the time being." Zhou Jiyun looked at Zhou Jiyun with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, but after you told me the previous ones, I think I can guess roughly one, two, and three!" Yue Kaishan smiled.
"really?"
"Quanzhou, Ning family!" Yue Shankai spit out four words.
Zhou Jiyun laughed loudly and gave a thumbs up at Yue Kaishan, "You are there."
In the heavy snow, an army struggled to trek in the snow. Cheng Wuben's figure was a little hunched. In order to get him out, his best student, disciple, and general led 10,000 cavalry to the hinterland of Qi. They could not come back. In order to make him escape, he invested 10,000 elite troops, mixed with more than 20,000 young and strong auxiliary soldiers, and took turns to attack the Qi army in three days.
These people, without even knowing his true purpose, have deceived them.
Looking back at the more than 30,000 Chu troops who were marching, Cheng Wuben couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. He clasped his fists with his hands, bowed deeply to the ground at the place where Jiang Tao left.
"Jiang Tao, go all the way!"
He turned around and bowed to the ground in Luzhou: "Your Majesty, I hope you are lucky and good at the heavenly world and can break through the siege. The old minister cannot come to save you alone. I need to take these soldiers back to build a second line of defense for the Great Chu, even if you can only defend half of the country for the Great Chu, if Your Majesty can break through the siege and want to punish the old minister for not saving him when he is dead, the old minister is willing. Your Majesty, take care of it!"
