Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 168 The flexible Lu Zonghui made a mistake

In the wilderness outside Jinyin City, a Wei-style army was stationed here. A large flag embroidered with the word "Lu" stood in the military camp.

"General, all the vanguard troops have arrived." Zhu Wei, a member of the Eastern Army, stepped forward and clasped his fists.

In front of Zhu Wei, General Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army, wearing black armor, stopped and looked straight ahead.

He grabbed the long whip, pointed forward and said: "Zhao Jun is in front. He must have launched an offensive against Jinyin City at this time. We should get over."

Zhu Wei said: "General, won't you wait any longer?"

"What I want is to negotiate terms with King Wu, not to watch him die." Lu Zonghui glanced at Zhu Wei and said, "If his [-] troops are too stretched, Zhao will not be able to defend him for a moment." The army commander marched straight in and captured Jinyin City, and I can't even talk about it."

Zhu Wei's face was startled: "..."

"The people in Luling have told me that King Wu has left early in the morning. The one who is on the battlefield now is in Jinyin City. Once the city is destroyed, King Wu's safety will be in danger."

Zhu Wei suddenly said: "I will make arrangements for departure right away."

Under his arrangement, more than 1 Eastern troops carried flags and began to rush toward the battlefield outside Jinyin City.

Lu Zonghui rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the army. He suddenly said: "How long do you think King Wu's army of [-] can hold it back?"

Zhu Wei, who was on the side, thought for a while and said: "If I lead the army and face 18 with an army of [-], if we face it head-on on the battlefield, I can only last for an hour at most. If there is a wall in the city, I can probably last a few days."

"Hahaha, it's pretty much what I expected." Lu Zonghui laughed.

"General, facing the 18 troops of Zhao Guo and Li Mu, we only brought more than [-] people. Isn't it too few?"

"The remaining 10,000+ troops have already been prepared. I will bring 1 people here first just to protect His Highness King Wu. As for repelling the Zhao army, that depends on King Wu's attitude."

"My lord, trying to manipulate people like this will probably make King Wu so angry that he vomits blood."

Lu Zonghui was in a good mood and said Youyou: "Only by forcing him to a corner and asking for help from me can I open my mouth. By then, it will no longer be a matter of a hundred thousand soldiers."

Zhu Wei asked curiously: "What else do you want, sir?"

"I want all the taxes in his fiefdom." Lu Zonghui said with a smile: "Only if I agree to this condition will I help him resist the Zhao army."

Zhu Wei pondered for a while and said: "By taking this opportunity, the general can successfully garrison troops in Ying County, obtain military power, and privately receive Ying County's salary, avoiding other people's accusations against the general. This is a conspiracy."

"I don't know how many people are eyeing my position right now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns and just grabbed it. It's a sin to be weak."

Lu Zonghui drove his horse quickly, and vaguely heard the sound of fighting among the army in the distance.

"Let's go and take a look at the situation on the battlefield. I hope His Highness King Wu will not be defeated for a thousand miles and unable to hold on even for a moment."

Zhu Wei said: "I heard that his [-]-strong army was recruited from Ying County, and the quality of Ying County's warriors is not as good as that of other counties."

"Across this short hill is the wilderness slope outside Jinyin City. Let the people behind you speed up and keep up."

"Yes, general." Zhu Wei shouted: "Let the whole army speed up the march."

"Let's go and see what kind of miserable state this young and ignorant King Wu will be in now. Come on!"

"drive!"

Lu Zonghui whipped out his whip, and the horse neighed and galloped towards the top of the mountain.

In a short time, he climbed to the top of the mountain and had a panoramic view of the wilderness slope.

Suddenly his smile froze on his face, his mouth swung twice, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhu Wei, who was following him, saw something was wrong with Lu Zonghui's expression and asked strangely: "General, what's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu's [-] troops are wearing black Wei armor, right?"

Zhu Wei said casually: "Wei's armor is mainly black, while Zhao's armor is seven parts red and three parts blue. Why does the general ask this?"

Lu Zonghui was silent for a moment and said, "See for yourself."

Zhu Wei climbed from the hillside to the top of the mountain, looked up into the distance, and stopped talking for the time being.

In his sight, on the vast wilderness slope battlefield, countless corpses of Zhao soldiers were scattered on the ground.

The [-] troops under King Wu stopped Zhao's chariots and launched a general attack.

Under their gaze, the 18-strong army kept charging back and forth among the Zhao army, killing the [-]-strong army until it was completely defeated.

If you look carefully, you can see that in Zhao's general camp, Li Mu and others have begun to withdraw their troops.

This simply overturned their original understanding.

Thirty thousand versus 18 Zhao troops. What kind of army can achieve such a record?

If it were him, it would be something he wouldn't even dare to think about.

But all of this was laid out naked in front of him, almost like a dream.

Zhu Wei said after a while: "General, what should we do? Do we still want to rescue His Highness King Wu?"

"Damn it, do you think I'm blind? King Wu has already won a great victory, does he need my rescue?" Lu Zonghui cursed.

Zhu Wei lowered his head and remained silent.

He could see that Lu Zonghui had made a mistake in judgment and was already furious.

At this time, his emotions are very sensitive. Any verbal stimulation will make him explode like a powder keg.

He simply shut up and let Lu Zonghui scold him.

Probably after scolding for a while, Lu Zonghui also realized that this was not the solution. All his subordinates were brought here. At this point, he could not go back in despair.

Lu Zonghui suddenly asked: "When you went to Prince Wu's Mansion that day, did you not disobey His Highness in person?"

Zhu Wei's heart skipped a beat, then he thought about it and said, "No, we just explained our intentions according to the general's wishes, but in the end the negotiation fell apart."

"That's good." Lu Zonghui said: "Since everyone is here and the Zhao army has been defeated, we will help His Highness King Wu to drive out the Zhao army."

"..." Zhu Wei was a little uncomfortable with Lu Zonghui's sudden change.

"He who knows the current affairs is a handsome man. He who can bend and stretch is a man." Lu Zonghui said nonchalantly: "His Royal Highness King Wu has a powerful force at his disposal, and he has the capital to talk to this general. So naturally I can't treat idiots like this." way to treat him."

Zhu Wei felt that what Lu Zonghui said was extremely reasonable, and flattered him: "The general is not only highly skilled in martial arts, he is also a hero among men."

Lu Zonghui pulled out the sword hanging on his waist and shouted loudly: "All officers and men listen to the order and follow me to kill Zhao Jun! Kill!"

After giving the order, Lu Zonghui took the lead and rushed towards the retreating Zhao army.

The sudden rush of more than [-] troops caught Wu Qi and the retreating Li Mu off guard.

At this time, the morale of the Zhao army was low, and the Wei army that rushed out made them look like frightened rabbits, and their positions were in chaos.

The [-] Eastern Army led by Lu Zonghui were like wolves entering the flock of sheep after entering the Zhao army.

Many Zhao troops began to flee and fell into complete chaos.

Zhao Hongming, who was behind the army, looked a little strange when he saw this scene.

He recognized Zhu Wei who entered Prince Wu's Mansion that day.

This is a man from the Eastern Army.

If you don't show up early, you won't show up later. Why do you show up when the overall situation is decided?

Zhao Hongming just thought about it a little and felt that there was something fishy about it.

In fact, not only him, but Wu Qi in the military camp also realized that something was wrong.In a battle between two armies, the appearance of unfamiliar troops is the most taboo thing for military strategists.

I saw that the other party's attire was made by Wei, like the Wei army on the east route.

But he didn't dare to make a complete decision.

Seeing that the battle situation was basically stable, he saw Zhao Hongming here after seeing the army. He quickly mounted his horse and ran in front of Zhao Hongming. He dismounted and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, a group of Wei troops rushed out on the battlefield. How should our army respond?"

Wu Qi knew that what he was today was entirely dependent on Zhao Hongming's support, and Zhao Hongming was kind to him.

If he left Zhao Hongming, he would be just an ordinary forbidden soldier. He could not get carried away because of his temporary victory.

Now that the Wei army rushing into the battlefield is acting in an unknown manner, the final decision cannot be made on his identity. Zhao Hongming needs to make a decision, endorse him, and bear responsibility.

Zhao Hongming didn't know what this group of Wei soldiers had planned, but he thought it wouldn't be a good thing.

Moreover, after the actual combat of the Wei soldiers in his hands, the results were unexpectedly good, which greatly increased his confidence.

He said directly: "General Wu, according to the rules on the battlefield, how should we deal with strange troops who invade the battlefield without reporting it?"

"Generally, we will adopt alert, preparedness, probing, contact, fighting or accepting surrender."

Zhao Hongming was obviously dissatisfied: "What about other than that?"

Wu Qi raised his head and saw Zhao Hongming's expressionless face, and there seemed to be something else in his tone. He turned around and said, "If it is our own army, without prior notice, with unclear intentions, those who create battlefields without permission can also be treated as enemy troops."

Zhao Hongming nodded with satisfaction and said: "I think this army has unclear intentions. General Wu will deal with it as the enemy does. If there are any problems, just ask their leader to come to me."

Wu Qi immediately understood Zhao Hongming's intention: "The final general will receive the order."

He got on his horse and hurriedly made arrangements: "An unknown army appears in the front. It is most likely a trap by the Zhao army. Listen to the orders in the front, and all soldiers who are not my Wei soldiers will be treated as enemy troops."

Facing the order given by Wu Qi, Zhao Hongming showed no expression on his face.

After Lu Zonghui joined the battlefield, he found that these Zhao troops had no fighting power and were completely defeated.

Killing them is like killing chickens and dogs.

For a time, Lu Zonghui and his subordinates all had the illusion that the so-called Li Mu was nothing more than that and was just a wasted name.

They galloped on horseback and could already see the remnants of Li Mu's troops.

This is the great general of Zhao State. If he can be killed, it will be a great achievement.

Zhu Wei's blood rushed straight to his forehead, like a volcano erupting, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes and turned red.

He kept whipping his whip, causing bloody marks on the horse's buttocks.

The painful little mare ran all the way and quickly clung to Li Mu and the others. Then she put her feet on the horse's back, and with the help of the strength under her feet, she spread her arms and rushed forward like a big bird.

The man and his sword merged into one, and he slashed down one of the generals.

The sharp sword intent was carried away by the strong wind.

His attacks are very tricky and extremely fast.

The Zhao general who was targeted by him had no time to react.

He was about to be beheaded.

He saw a green shadow like a dragon rushing in front of him.

Before he understood what was going on, he flew back with his knife and hit the little mare hard.

"Sorry..."

The little mare whined and was knocked to the ground by Juwei, causing her sternum to collapse.

The soil flew up on the ground, creating a long mud pit.

The filly whined and could no longer get up.

Zhu Wei, who was also hit, felt uncomfortable. He felt a sweetness in his throat and vomited out a mouthful of blood. He watched Li Mu and others go away.

The blow just now was made by Li Mu, a martial arts warrior. As an innate warrior, he was no match at all.

Just when he thought everything was over, several arrows arrived from the direction of Li Mu like meteors in an instant.

He was seriously injured and couldn't move at all.

Two puffs.

Two arrows pierced into his thighs respectively, causing him to groan in pain.

It was the other party who avenged his blow just now.

Lu Zonghui drove his horse to Zhu Wei and looked down at him. He found that Zhu Wei was in so much pain that he could not speak for a while. Cold sweat was constantly oozing from his forehead and his face was pale.

When he was about to say something, Lu Zonghui noticed a commotion among the Eastern Army behind him. He said dissatisfiedly: "What's going on?"

"It's King Wu's army attacking us."

Some of the men kept yelling.

Lu Zonghui's eyes were as wide as bells.

I didn't react for a moment and thought I heard wrong.

"We are here to support King Wu's Eastern Army. It is simply unreasonable for him to dare to attack us."

"what!"

There were screams from the Eastern Army.

Facing the highly motivated and well-trained Wei soldiers, these Eastern troops were as vulnerable as the Zhao army and were no match for the Wei soldiers.

In just a moment, Lu Zonghui found that his [-]-strong army had been cut into pieces and was being continuously attacked and killed by Wei soldiers.

Lu Zonghui was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He said loudly: "I am Lu Zonghui, the general of the Eastern Army. Stop it."

The general Wei Wuzu who rushed over said: "The evil words are confusing the crowd. Our army in the East of Wei Dynasty is well-trained, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the overall situation. How could we attack in such a disorderly manner like you? It must be the Zhao army pretending to confuse our army." Hit me hard!"

Hearing this, Lu Zonghui was stunned.

Lu Zonghui said angrily: "Who is your general? I want to see him."

"Who do you think you are? Do you want to see our general whenever you want?"

Shit, miscalculated.

Lu Zonghui was so angry that he wanted to kill these Wei warriors with a knife, but considering that he was indeed in some wrong, he suppressed this impulse with the mentality of turning big things into small things.

He looked up and saw King Wu's carriage, drove his horse out, and ran towards King Wu's motorcade.

"I am Lu Zonghui of the Eastern Army, and I am here to pay my respects to King Wu!"

Seeing Lu Zonghui rushing towards him, the people around Zhao Hongming were a little nervous, and the guards drew their swords one after another.

Zhao Hongming waved his hand and said confidently: "It doesn't matter, just let him come over."

"Shut up!"

After a while, Lu Zonghui reined in his horse and stood in front of Zhao Hongming.
