Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 183 The Promise

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Yang Ming directly inserted the Canglong Wentian Halberd into the ground, pulled a saddle, sat down with the horizontal sword on his knees, and then let out a long breath.

"Is Zhong Cheng all right?" Wei He, the only old man among the imperial guards, leaned in front of Yang Ming and asked with a bowl of wine.

"Does it look like nothing happened?" Yang Ming took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Yang Ming neither likes nor dislikes wine, but right now, wine is also a good thing. The water in Jingshui is more palatable.

"Why should Zhongcheng fight alone? It's not like all the soldiers can't fight anymore. At the last hour, let the soldiers watch Zhongcheng you fight alone in front, which can be said to have violated the military order." Wei Wei He walked aside and said.

"Everyone, sit down and rest. Is it possible that you still have the strength to stand?" Yang Ming motioned everyone to sit down.

"What you said is true, but who made Ben Zhongcheng's martial arts stronger? If I last a little longer, you can live a few more people." Yang Ming sighed.

If possible, Yang Ming doesn't want to fight to the death, but isn't that impossible?Let these guards go up, and it is not known how many casualties will be paid in the last hour.

"Aren't I living a good life now? Compared with my life and my family after that, I have made a lot of money." Yang Ming laughed loudly as he spoke, as if I had made a lot of money.

"Lord Zhongcheng!" The words fell into the ears of all the imperial guards, and exploded in their hearts like thunder.

One life after another, one family after another, they were themselves and their parents, wives and children. For a moment, the guards who were still alive stood up one by one again and lined up in front of Yang Ming, practicing as usual The team is average.

"It's just a pity, it's a pity." Yang Ming, who was still laughing out loud just now, suddenly showed a distressed expression.

"Zhongcheng, what's the pity?" Wang Ben, who had already been completely convinced by Yang Ming, asked.

"During the latest battle, I forgot to say a very elegant sentence. It's a pity that I forgot it at such a good opportunity. It's a pity, a pity." Yang Ming said, "I lost ten thousand yuan." Jin said with a sad look.

"What did Zhong Cheng forget?" A guard couldn't help asking.

"I want to fight to the death, who dares to retreat first!" Yang Ming said majesticly, and for a while, his clear voice echoed across the entire sandbar.

For a moment, the dignified atmosphere of the entire sandbar was instantly shattered.

"Speaking of it, I also blame you for not giving me a chance. Sit down, sit down. Is it possible that I keep looking up at you?" Yang Ming waved his hands.

In front of these imperial guards, Yang Ming didn't have that hobby.

"Finally back." On the city wall of Mincheng, Wang Jian, who also hadn't slept all night, looked at the retreating enemy army, and his thoughts were inexplicable for a while. This battle is finally over, and the next thing is no longer their business.

"Lieutenant Bai County, organize the people and bring the imperial guards closer to the city. They are the biggest heroes in this war." Wang Jian ordered the county captain Mincheng beside him.

"Yes."

……

The withdrawal of the Zhao Wei coalition forces led Lu Buwei, who rushed to the reinforcements dozens of miles away, to decisively order the pursuit of the enemy. Let the Zhao Wei coalition forces appear in Guanzhong. Let this Zhao Wei coalition army withdraw from the border of Qin State safely, then Lu Buwei's face will be a little hurt.

However, this time Lu Buwei is still going to be slapped in the face after all. In the process of chasing the Zhao Wei coalition army, the disadvantages of Lu Buwei not being born in a military family were exposed. Not long ago, he even lured the Chu army into the trap, and almost wiped out the entire army. However, when the two armies faced each other and needed to fight in battle, Lu Buwei's shortcomings were exposed.

On the Guanzhong Plain, facing the pursuing Qin army, Pang Nuan directly set up a large formation, and faced the pursuing Qin army head-on. After fighting for half a day, he successfully penetrated the Qin army's large formation, preventing the pursuing Qin army from Do not retreat for thirty miles.

When the two armies confront each other, Pang Nuan can be bullied by Yang Ming and Wang Jian, but Lu Buwei is not his opponent.

After experiencing a defeat, Lu Buwei realized his own shortcomings, but if he let go of the Zhao Wei coalition army, he would not be reconciled. For a while, Lu Buwei experienced a feeling of being unable to advance or retreat.

Zhao Wei's allied forces retreated quickly, but still encountered a big problem in Hedong County. The governor of Hedong County led thousands of soldiers to block the Yellow River ferry.

The governor of Hedong County, because of his own mistakes, let the Zhao Wei coalition army take advantage of the loopholes, let the Zhao Wei coalition army cross the river from within his jurisdiction, and rushed into Guanzhong, which almost shook Xianyang. What a serious crime, so after receiving the military report of the retreat of the Zhao Wei coalition army, he brazenly led thousands of Qin troops to station on both sides of the pontoon bridge, thinking that he could defeat the Zhao Wei coalition army, capture and kill Pang Nuan, and make atonement for his crime.

However, the governor of Hedong County is really too greedy. He only needs to burn the pontoon bridge and ban the ships on both sides of the river to completely block the Zhao Wei coalition forces on the other side of the river, but he feels that such credit is not enough to let him give the credit. Apologizing, he just chose the most stupid way.

So, even if he insisted on fighting to the death with the thousands of soldiers under his command, after a day and a night of fierce fighting by the Zhao Wei coalition army, he was still captured by the Zhao Wei coalition army to cross the bridge and retreated to the other side of the river.

At this time, there were less than [-] remnants of the [-] Zhao Wei coalition forces who had crossed the river when they came. When they completely withdrew from the border of Qin State, this number would be even smaller.

With the complete defeat of the Zhao Wei coalition forces in Guanzhong, the main force of the Chu army was hit hard again. After several days of stalemate with the Qin army, the five-nation coalition forces on the front line chose to withdraw their troops one by one.

The five-country joint vertical attack on Qin that took place in the spring of the sixth year of Qin Wangzheng ended in an anticlimactic manner.

As the Allied Forces of the Five Nations withdrew from Hangu Pass for the first battle, other battlefields ceased fighting one after another. No advantage was obtained, and the casualties far exceeded those of the Qin army.

They were all thankful that they retreated in time, but they didn't know that they would never have the possibility of approaching Hangu Pass in this lifetime. When they might see Hangu Pass again, they would probably have to pass through Hangu Pass in another capacity. Guan entered Xianyang, which they had longed for.

Xianyang, Xianyang Palace.

"So, our army has won?" Zhao Ji looked at the military report handed over by Qin Wangzheng, with joy in her eyes.

Finally won, don't worry about it.

Since the imperial guards of Ganquan Palace were all taken away by Yang Ming, Zhao Ji has temporarily lived in Xianyang Palace. After all, only Xianyang Palace still has a guard. Unlike Ganquan Palace, there are not many gatekeepers anymore.

"The coalition forces of Zhao Wei rushing to attack Guanzhong were stopped by Yang... Yang Ming and Wang Jian at the foot of Mincheng City, and the second father of Hangu Pass planned to severely damage the main force of the Chu army and returned to aid Guanzhong. The Zhao Wei coalition forces had no choice but to retreat. Naturally, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations outside Hangu Pass will not have the courage to fight again." Qin Wangzheng, who was in a good mood, explained to Zhao Ji.

"How about the king's imperial guards? There must have been a terrible battle under the city." Zhao Ji asked, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"It is said that there were heavy casualties, and everyone was injured. In the end, less than 300 people were able to participate in the battle." Qin Wangzheng said solemnly.

Qin Wangzheng can imagine how tragic the war under Mincheng was.

"There are so many casualties?" Zhao Ji heard that, a look of worry appeared on the brows that were still happy just now.

Are you all right, little guy?Isn't he very good at martial arts?It should be fine, but he is the leader and the most dangerous person. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. For a while, Zhao Ji didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"The people my mother values ​​are indeed very extraordinary. The general of the Wei State Zhu Hai was beheaded by Yang Mingzhen in front of the two armies, and he beheaded the general of a country. This is a lot of credit." Qin Wangzheng just didn't see Zhao Ji's expression. worried, said slowly.

"Zhu Hai? That Zhu Hai from the armored gate?" Zhao Ji asked back.

When Wei Wuji brought Zhu Hai to live in Zhao State, Zhao Ji and Qin Wangzheng were also in Zhao State, because Zhao Ji also knew Zhu Hai's name.

"It's the master of the armored gate." Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Ji and said.

"That's a great achievement. It's okay, it's okay, after all, there is no one who lost Ai's family." Zhao Ji smiled, and she had already heard another meaning from Qin Wangzheng's words. Since she can receive the merit, It's okay after all.

However, suddenly Zhao Ji's brows showed sadness, and then she felt her cheeks were slightly hot.

In Zhao Ji's mind, the unspoken promise that appeared in her heart when she was sending Yang Ming off could not help but emerge.

When he comes back, do you want Aijia to recognize him?If the Ai family doesn't recognize it, no one will know except the Ai family, who can say anything about the Ai family?But at that time...wouldn't it be bad if the Ai family didn't recognize her?But isn't that too embarrassing?How could Aijia do such a thing.For a moment, Zhao Ji only felt a confusion in her mind.

All kinds of thoughts were intertwined, and even the scene of Yang Ming trying to escape when she forcibly retained Yang Ming that night emerged.

In fact, it is not impossible.While Zhao Ji was thinking, Danzhu's fingers subconsciously caressed her lips.

"Once the Allied Forces of the Five Nations are gone, there will be no worries for the time being, but it's ridiculous that the little Weiguo dares to join in the fun." Qin Wangzheng sneered.

Qin Wangzheng was delighted, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After this battle, Lu Buwei's reputation will undoubtedly reach its peak. Meng Ao is getting old, and the new general is still a problem. Who will succeed this general?If it is Lu Buwei's person, then the trouble will be quite big.

The contradiction between the young king and the minister of power has begun to show signs unconsciously.
