Chapter 89 Ice Surface

People can leave on the ice, but they cannot form formations. The Qin cavalry has been guarding the south bank of Muze. Not only did it destroy the Feixun on the shore, but anyone in Daliang City would be intercepted by them. The Chu cavalry dispersed all the Qin cavalry, and the talents in the city went out of the city one after another. Half a day was enough to clear the blockage of the city gate. When Peng Zong asked a question, the Zhao people who left the city were staring at the three phoenix flags on the south bank of Muze.

Seeing the black crowd under the flag, Xiong Jing's first person was not Zhao Wangqian, but Empress Dowager Zhao's spiritual sleeves, and the Zhao army. After one night, how many war-prone soldiers were left in Zhao State? As he stood up, the fire that had been extinguished in the city was ignited again. The elongated black smoke disappeared without a trace, and the flames quickly rushed to the top of the city wall, becoming more and more fierce.

After leaving the city, the black-clothed Zhao State, who had been leisurely, was in chaos at this time. Instead of guarding Zhao Qian and others forward, they turned around and rushed towards the city gate. When Xiong Jing was just surprised, the Qin army in gray armor rushed out of the city gate and fought with them.

"Qin people!!" The Chu army knights on Muze's shore shouted. Qin Zhuyi and the Qin Zhuyi who rushed out of the city gate were not holding spears but swords and shields. Some soldiers were holding powerful crossbows, aiming at the black clothes of Zhao who were blocking their own, kept shooting. The black clothes were insane. After practicing the spear array, they gathered instinctively, but they forgot that this was on the ice surface. The three-inch thick ice was not enough to support the gathered array. The people on the shore were surprised to see from Lu Li's mirror that the gathered black clothes suddenly sank into Muze.

"Save people!" Xiong Jing threw away Lu Lijing and rode his horse forward.

"No! No!" Gui Jing, Xiang Liang, Zhuang Wudi and others quickly stopped him. "It's even thin ice, don't ride a horse!"

"What if that?" Xiong Jing immediately turned around and pointed the five-foot sword in his hand directly at Daliang City more than 20 miles away. He regretted that he had not built a bridge. If he built a bridge, this would definitely not happen. But if he built a bridge, he would not have been able to add tens of thousands of tons of cement ships.

"There are only abandoned horses." Zhuang Wudi shouted. "Each person is two meters apart..."

As soon as Zhuang Wudi said he abandoned his horse, Xiong Jing jumped off the horse. Following him, all the guards such as Lu Yangyan were dismounted, followed by all the knights. It was not as good as noon. In addition, the Qin cavalry attacked the baggage behind the rear - not many people died, but many horses without armor were shot to death. The Xiang army in the front was still several miles away, and the only one who could save the Zhao people was the knights on the shore.

"Knight Xiang is here to save me." Xiong Jing, who saw that all the knights were dismounted and was about to move forward, ordered. He did not dare to press all the knights on Mu Ze's thin ice that was only three inches thick.

"I respectfully accept the order!" Xiang Liang agreed loudly. He did not feel tired after fighting hard for a long time, but instead felt glorious.

"This trip is very dangerous. Zhao State has been destroyed. Da Ao must not go!" The black-clothed Zhao State was not a match for Qin's soldiers at all. He was soon defeated by Qin's soldiers. The ministers under the banner hugged Zhao Qian and Linghui to escape south quickly. At this time, the black-clothed holding the flag was probably caught by an arrow. Without running far, they fell down with the people and the flag. Many concubines and palace maids in the palace were also hit by crossbow arrows and fell on the ice.

Any Chu army knight knew that Zhao State was over when he saw this scene. Peng Zong and Zhuang Wudi were worried that Xiong Jing would be in danger, so he quickly spoke out to stop him, but their dissuasion was useless. Xiong Jing seemed to have not heard these words and rushed directly to the ice and headed towards the collapsed Zhao Renxing.

The leather boots on the ice are obviously different from those on the ground. The ice surface looks slippery under the sunlight. It is estimated that the Giant Armor is too heavy. You can hear the subtle sound of the ice shattering while walking on it. This breaking sound made Lu Yangyan, who was following Xiong Jing, hurry to stop and dare not be too close to Xiong Jing.

Gui Jing watched Xiong Jing step onto the ice surface, Zhuang Wudi, Peng Zong and others did not stop him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. This anxiety made him rush to Zhuang Wudi and others to point at Xiong Jing who was walking further and further away, shouting angrily: "Bao Ao..."

"What can we do if Da Ao doesn't listen?" Zhuang Wudi had no choice. He knew why Xiong Jing had to move forward bravely in everything and lead the way. The Ao system is completely different from the king system. The Ao system did not strictly stipulate who can be Ao and who can't be Ao, and any clan could be Ao. Brave is Da Ao of Da Ao. Only when the soldiers truly believe and respect him, Xiong Jing is Da Ao of the Chu people, otherwise, he is nothing.

Mu Ze was twenty-five miles wide, and it took more than one and a half hours to walk the entire Mu Ze. This one more hour was enough for the Qin soldiers to kill all the Zhao people who flew south. However, when they saw the three phoenix flags flying on Mu Ze's ice, the Qin people's pursuit of the left and right wings suddenly slowed down, allowing the Zhao people to stumble forward. However, some people still died of misfortunes - the concubines, palace ladies and noble ladies were fine, and these humans could bear it when they gathered together on the ice, and the ministers and temples would collapse.

"There is a fraud!" Zhuang Wudi and Peng Zong said in unison. "General Gui, save the king quickly!"

Gui Jing also saw some problems. The Qin people were not the common Qin soldiers, but the Langzhong Ba people in Bashu. Only the Ba people there had the left shield and the right sword, supplemented by bamboo crossbows. This means that the Qin general Bai Lin's troops had already rushed to the Shahai. The Zhao State's black-clothed fight alone was not an opponent of the Langzhong Ba people. However, they who should have slaughtered the Zhao people all let the Zhao people run south on the ice, obviously to lure Da Ao forward.

Zhuang Wudi Peng Zong's suggestion made him no longer hesitate. He pulled out his sword and turned around and shouted: "Knight Yingshi--, come in!"

Gui Jing led more than 3,000 Yingshi knights into Muze's ice. Ruoao's cavalry general Dou Jian couldn't help but see this. He also pulled out his sword and shouted: "Ruoao knights, come in!"

The ice surface was too thin, but the knights of Xiang, Ying, and Ruoao all stepped onto the ice surface. E Wu, the cavalry general of the E army who did not want to fight, had to shout to the knights under his command: "Knights of the E army, come in!"

"Oh!" Peng Zong just wanted Gui Jing to lead the Ying army knights to the reception, but unexpectedly, under the chain action, all the knights of the army rushed to the ice of Muze. Although the depth of the water where the two sides met was not unbearable, fighting with the precious knights and the infantry of the Qin army was not a good deal no matter how you look at it. It is really not worth the knights to consume here.

"It is the nature of Da Ao when he knows that he cannot do it." Zhuang Wudi subconsciously answered when he heard Peng Zong's sigh.

When he was young, he also had a lofty ambition to save the people of the world and restore the decline of Chu State. However, reality is always cruel. If the Wang Ting had not cut off the salary offered by the lost lord, his destitute son, who had lost lords, had starved to death when he was a child. The ideal of the young was just the ideal of the young, but the person he was following is fulfilling his ideal of the young. What is ridiculous is that he actually felt that he should not do this, thinking that he should be more ruthless and cunning, and that he could ignore those minor points in order to succeed.

Standing on the shore of Muze and looking at Xiong Jing who was moving further and further away, Zhuang Wudi knew whether he should sigh or be happy. He couldn't tell whether he had become a reality or Xiong Jing had become an ideal. Also standing on the shore of Muze and looking at the King of Chu who was getting closer and closer, Bai Lin felt surprised. He thought that it was just some Chu cavalrymen who rescued the Zhao people, but he didn't expect that the King of Chu would step on the ice.

The Qin army invaded Daliang last night. With the surrender of Guo Kai and Pingyang Jun, the State of Zhao had already perished. Only Empress Dowager Zhao took King Qian of Zhao and those ministers who were unwilling to surrender to Qin to escape from Daliang. These people were actually of no value. Even if they wanted to save them, the King of Chu should not come to rescue them himself. Just send their generals to rescue them.

Bai Lin did not understand the intention of the King of Chu, but this did not prevent him from issuing the military order to lure the King of Chu. Before the war, the enemy killed the King of Chu would inevitably change the end of the Qin-Chu battle. This was a good opportunity to make meritorious service and promote the title. At this time, the Ba people shot crossbows in the rear and rushed the Zhao people forward. Seeing that several Zhao girls were shot down by crossbow arrows, Bai Lin frowned and ordered: "Don't kill women!"

"The general has his life, but he will not kill women! The general is famous, but he will not kill women..." The wind blew south, and Bai Lin's order was accurately transmitted to the Qin soldiers. However, this puzzled the Ba people, Fan Mu said: "Why is the general's kindness of a woman? This is all the Zhao girl."

"Under my command, soldiers will not kill women and children!" The Ba people are the cornerstone of Qin's rule over Bashu, and the widow Qingsu was treated as a courtesy by the King of Qin. Relying on this, the Ba people did not obey the control of Qin generals. Bai Lin looked at Fan Mu and spoke. Fan Mu was stunned at first, and then smiled like a smoothing situation.

"If you can capture King Jing in this battle, the general can be granted a marquis. There are so many beauties in the world, why care about the daughters of Zhao?" Fan Mu is not a chief or a nobleman, but a Qin man who is familiar with the Ba people. He thought Bai Lin wanted to capture those daughters of Zhao.

Bai Lin laughed in his heart when he heard this. No matter how down and out, he is still a noble. Since he is a noble, he has his own ethics and honors, which is something that ordinary people like Fan Mu cannot understand. He simply did not argue with Fan Mu, but only watched more and more Ba people rush out of the city gate and face the phoenix flag.

Xiong Jing knew that he had to walk at least ten miles before he could meet the Zhao people. It would take about an hour to complete this distance in a giant armor. If someone else led his army to save him, more than a thousand Zhao people would have been killed by the Qin army in this hour. It would be different for him to lead his army to save him. The smart Qin general would definitely keep Zhao people's life to lure him forward.

As expected, General Qin immediately ordered the Qin army to slow down the attack. What he did not expect was that more Qin soldiers emerged in Daliang City. Zhuang Wudi and others, who had seen through the Qin people's intentions, also quickly sent more knights, and as a result, all the Chu army knights came up.

Things turned out like this and made Xiong Jing smile bitterly. Many times he could guess what the enemy would do, but he couldn't guess what his teammates would do. But no matter what, what they did was most of the time right.
