Dajin royal family

Chapter 450

Duchang.

Shan Xin led [-] soldiers and horses to approach quickly. The purpose of his trip was to recast the rear defense line and ensure that food could be transported to the frontline army.

In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, because the food and grass had been burned by the Northern Jin army. His main purpose was to cover the retreat of the army and avoid being flanked by the Northern Jin army.

The army marched ten miles outside Duchang City, and Shan Xin saw that there were dense jungles on both sides of the road, and he couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

In fact, the grain and grass were attacked this time, and he had doubts about the inside.

Because this matter is too strange, they have deployed manpower in the rear. Although there are not many troops, it is impossible for them to attack several food storage locations without receiving any news from the other party. This is really weird.

Compared with this, he was more worried about the battle situation ahead. Jiang Chengxiao was by no means a mediocre person. Whether Wang Yuanzhen's strategy would work was still a matter of opinion.

"Second brother, what are you thinking?" Cheng Zhijie galloped to Shan Xin's side.

Shan Xin worried: "Think about what we should do in the future. This time we can no longer repel the Northern Jin Dynasty, which means that the Northern Jin Dynasty will use Qi County as a springboard to attack Qingzhou. We have suffered heavy losses in food and grass, but the Northern Jin Dynasty has not No matter what kind of injury, whether it is hit or dragged back, we have little chance of winning."

Cheng Zhijie was silent for a while, then sighed: "Second brother, don't blame brother for saying something at this time."

"Just say what you want."

"Let me tell you, if we didn't accept Li Fazhu at that time, we should have killed him earlier, otherwise Qingzhou would be torn apart. If we gather the power of Qingzhou, can't we still resist the Northern Jin Dynasty?"

"I understand what you're saying." Shan Xin said with a wry smile, "But things backfired."

At that time, Li Fazhu was defeated in Liyang, so they didn't think of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.But after thinking about it, they forget it, there is no other reason, so I am afraid.

At that time, no matter who made the move, the other two parties would not sit idly by. Everyone held back each other. In the end, no one dared to make a move, and just sat and watched Li Fazhu regain his strength and proclaim himself emperor.

The same was true of the Northern Jin invasion later, because everyone chose to remain silent because they were afraid of others.Now it's their turn to understand the pain.

Cheng Zhijie shook his head and spoke nonsense carelessly.

"According to what the second brother said, if the Northern Jin Dynasty is stable in Qi County, aren't we just like that, restless?"

"Fidgeting." Shan Xin corrected.

"It's all the same, there is no difference, anyway, I can't live in peace." Cheng Zhijie said indifferently.

He rebelled just to live a better life. He had a good life at the beginning, but then it became miserable. He beat Yu Wenshu, and then followed Shan Ding to beat Han Zhao. Anyway, he didn't live very well.

The Northern Jin Dynasty came, Li Fazhu was defeated, and they were also defeated.

Now Cheng Zhijie felt that they could not win the Northern Jin Dynasty, or in other words, they would be destroyed sooner or later.

There are too many constraints. Originally, everyone agreed to rebel together, but after the rebellion, everyone has their own ideas in their hearts.

How can they fight if they are independent and unable to unite?
"Second brother, no matter what, you are my brother, we will live and die together!"

Shan Xin looked at Cheng Zhijie movedly, nodded and said: "Don't worry, we are not so easily defeated. Could it be that Jiang Chengxiao has the eyes of the sky, can he know our strategy, and attack us now if he has the ability!"

Suppressed with grievances and anger, Shan Xin also cheered himself up and said a few bold words.

At this moment, there were bursts of sounds in the jungle on both sides of the road, and Shan Xin knew it was the sound of arrows!
"Enemy attack!"

He turned around and shouted, and the soldiers behind him were on guard, but the arrows came too fast and unexpectedly, and there was a scream of screams in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, there were shouts of killing from the bushes on both sides, and then the ground began to shake, and groups of cavalry rushed out.

Shan Xin's hairs stood on end, how could the Northern Jin Dynasty know that he led an army to Duchang!

Wei Zhongyan charged into the enemy's formation with a horse in the lead, and the horse in his hand was unstoppable. The cavalry of the Northern Jin Dynasty was brave, and Shan Xin's soldiers were difficult to compete, and they were almost overwhelmingly slaughtered.

Shan Xin originally wanted to reorganize the formation, but when he turned his gaze, dozens of Jin cavalry had already killed him, forcing him to shut up and fight back.

Fighting broke out between the two sides. The Northern Jin cavalry had a complete formation and had been waiting for a long time. They killed anyone they saw and trampled on them with horseshoes. Shan Xin's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Die!" Shan Xin was highly skilled in martial arts, facing dozens of Jin cavalry encirclement by himself, he insisted on fighting his way out.

"withdraw!"

In this situation, they were caught off guard, and faced with the Northern Jin cavalry, they could only retreat first before making plans.

However, right in front of him, Wei Zhongyan was holding a horse, with long hair fluttering, looking at Shan Xin with eyes full of blood.

"kill!"

At this moment, Wei Zhongzheng felt exactly the same as Shan Xin.

The two rushed towards each other with their horses, the horses jumped up, and the spears struck each other.

At the same time, under Shouguang City, Yu Chijing led the cavalry to encircle and suppress Qu Yao's soldiers and horses.

The two sides fought in the dark, Qu Yao had no choice but to fight desperately.

The so-called capturing the thief first captures the king, Yu Chijing single-handedly charged into the enemy's formation, and went straight to Qu Yao, cutting a path abruptly along the way, and the guards behind him followed the leader with their horses.

"The thief chief, take your life!"

Yu Chijing let out a roar, and Ma Qian slammed towards Qu Yao viciously.

Qu Yao raised his horse to resist, only to hear a 'Dang' sound.

A huge force passed into Qu Yao's arms, and he felt his arms go numb, and he could barely hold the horse with his palms.

Before he could react, Yuchi Jingma Leng turned around and approached Qu Yao's chest.

There was only a sound of '噗呲'.

Ma Qian brushed along Qu Yao's ear, and cut off one of Qu Yao's ears.

Intense pain spread all over the body in an instant, and when the two passed by each other, Yu Chijing grabbed Qu Yao with one hand and captured him alive.

As Qu Yao was captured alive, his troops were quickly defeated and surrendered half an hour later.

On the other side, the infantry led by Jiang Chengxiao and Li Yaoshi did not take advantage of the retreat of the coalition forces to pursue the victory, but just silently followed them dozens of miles away.

When the coalition forces stopped, the Northern Jin army stopped, like a pack of wolves that were not ready, just silently staring at their prey.

The coalition tent.

Qu Rang and Shan Ding had gloomy faces. It had been three days and the Northern Jin Army hadn't moved, which made them very helpless.

Since they were separated by dozens of miles, they could not launch an attack.

"Traitor!" Shan Ding slapped the desk, stood up and shouted: "We will fight to the death with the evil bird!"

Chiju reminded lightly: "The Northern Jin Dynasty will not give us a chance to fight decisively. Now they know that we are short of food and grass, so they plan to drag us to death here. If we attack forcefully, they will definitely retreat."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can we just wait for death!" Qu Rang roared angrily.

They were about to be driven crazy, and there was no news of the soldiers they sent out. The food was about to run out, and if they couldn't get out the food, the soldiers would definitely riot. By then, they would be finished without the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the three chief generals became more and more solidified, Wang Yuanzhen sighed softly, "Three generals, let's wait for the news. As long as General Qu Yao and the others can bring good news, we can defend the city. Chance."

At this moment, a scout stumbled into the big tent.

"No, it's not good!"

The scout's face was covered with blood, and his body was covered with arrows. It looked like he had escaped from the dead.

Seeing this, Qu Rang and Shan Ding's hearts sank, they seemed to know what the scouts were going to say.

"What happened!" Chi Ju rushed up, grabbed the scout and shouted.

"The cavalry of the Jin army ambushed. Our army suffered heavy casualties. The generals were either captured or died." Before he finished speaking, the scout tilted his head, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and died on the spot.

Chi Ju sat on the ground with one buttocks, lost in thought, his eyes dull.

Shan Ding and Qu Rang were not much better. After listening to it, they just felt stagnant in their chests, a turbid qi that couldn't be dispelled, and it was very uncomfortable to be blocked in their chests.

At this time, only Wang Yuanzhen remained awake. He suppressed the shock and uneasiness in his heart, and quickly sent several scouts to Shouguang and Duchang to investigate the news.

"Brother, you can't fall, the enemy army is watching you, you have to hold on!" Jiang Qi wailed with his arms in his arms.

Chiju turned his head to look at Jiang Qi, the two of them exchanged glances quickly, and they both got the information immediately.

"Yes, my lord, you must cheer up!" Wang Yuanzhen walked up to Qu Rang and cupped his hands to persuade him.

All the generals in the tent seemed to be infected by the gloomy atmosphere, and all bowed their heads in silence.
