My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 716: The offensive and defensive situation is reversed, the tiger and the young tiger stand side by side! Fight for justice, why fear the world!
A year and a half ago, Ying Zheng secretly met with many alchemists without the knowledge of Ying Chengjiao, but was discovered by Ying Chengjiao, who killed most of the alchemists in front of Ying Zheng.

However, the Taoist priests of Xunxian Sect were sent to the barbarian land by Ying Chengjiao in the hope of bringing back rare treasures and exploring maps for the Qin Dynasty.

Among them, the alchemists of the Fu'er School were brought back to the Chang'an Palace by Ying Chengjiao, and under Ying Chengjiao's guidance, they studied the creation that Ying Chengjiao wanted.

Black gunpowder is one of the research targets that Ying Chengjiao gave to the alchemists of the Fubai School!

But Ying Chengjiao knew very well how important this thing was.

Although all the alchemists involved in the research were treated with the utmost respect, they were not allowed to step out of Chang'an Jun's palace.

The research results have only been verified on a small scale in unmanned locations.

Even for Ying Chengjiao himself, it was the first time he saw nearly twenty tons of black gunpowder being detonated at the same time!

Ying Chengjiao originally thought that black gunpowder was crude and would not cause much damage.

To be on the safe side, Ying Chengjiao asked the fortune teller to take away sixty carts of black gunpowder, using up half of the stock!
But now it seems that the research results of those alchemists of the bait-taking school far exceeded Ying Chengjiao's expectations!

Ren Xiong looked at Ying Chengjiao in astonishment and asked, "Commander, did you already know that the Earth Dragon would turn the tables?!"

Ying Chengjiao collected his thoughts, nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "I knew that Wujiazhai would be shaken."

"But this is not a dragon turning over."

Ren Xiong couldn't quite understand what Ying Chengjiao meant.

Isn't an earthquake just a dragon turning over?

Apart from the earth dragon turning over, is there any other reason why the earth would shake?
But Ren Xiong was so relieved to have survived that he didn't bother to ask about the details. He just said fearfully, "No wonder the commander ordered us to evacuate and hand over the Nan'ao Mountain camp to the Zhao army."

"If the commander hadn't been able to see through the secrets of heaven, I'm afraid all of us would have been buried under the earth dragon!"

Wujiazhao is located on the east side of Nan'ao Mountain.

If there is an earthquake in Wujiazhai, Nanao Mountain will certainly not be spared.

In Ren Xiong's view, Ying Chengjiao's foresight obviously saved the lives of all the soldiers under Ren Xiong's command!

Ren Xiong said seriously and urgently: "Commander, once the earth dragon wakes up, it will not just turn over once."

"This earthquake may even be just a prelude to the awakening of the earth dragon!"

"Please, Commander, lead the troops to the front quickly. I will lead the middle and rear armies to continue advancing!"

Ren Xiong knew it very well.

Ying Chengjiao is alive, and Ren Xiong died in an earthquake. Ying Chengjiao will definitely treat Ren Xiong's family well.

But if Ren Xiong survives and Ying Chengjiao dies in the earthquake, the world situation will definitely change and the Qin Dynasty will be in danger!
Therefore, Ren Xiong left the chance of survival to Ying Chengjiao without hesitation, and he himself guarded the middle and rear armies to prevent the army from causing chaos.

Ying Chengjiao said gently, "Captain Ren, please be at ease."

"This earthquake is not caused by the earth dragon turning over."

"And there will only be one earthquake. There won't be a second one."

Ren Xiong was greatly surprised, but then he showed ecstasy: "If so, then this earthquake will be an opportunity for our army!"

Ying Chengjiao smiled and said loudly: "Send the order to the whole army!"

"An earthquake only happens once, and it won't happen again!"

"This is not a natural disaster that will take the lives of our troops, but a good opportunity to help our army destroy Zhao!"

"The Zhao army is in disarray because of the earthquake, but our army is still full of fighting spirit."

"What do you think our army should do?!"

Ying Chengjiao's words were passed on by word of mouth among the soldiers.

An inexplicable atmosphere arose.

If someone else said this, the soldiers would definitely not believe it.

Although they do not understand the scientific principles of earthquakes, their experience makes them very clear that once an earthquake occurs, there is a high probability that it will be accompanied by aftershocks.

But when Ying Chengjiao said this, all the Qin soldiers believed it without a doubt!
After all, this is the Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty, who was favored by all the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty!
And in this case, is there any need to ask what they should do?
More than 30,000 Qin soldiers changed their dejected attitude and shouted excitedly: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Su Jiao even shook off Li Fu's support, gripped his spear tightly again, and walked to the front of the army silently and firmly.

Ying Chengjiao laughed loudly: "Pass on my order!"

"Whoever can obtain the head of Zhao Wu'an Jun will be rewarded with ten catties of gold, one hundred thousand coins, and fifty hectares of land! I will recommend him to the king!"

"Whoever can capture Zhao Wu'an alive will be rewarded with 100 catties of gold, 1 million coins, and 200 hectares of land! Not only will I recommend him to the king, but I will also ensure that he gets the title of a great official! A great official position!"

Hearing Ying Chengjiao's words, the breathing of more than 30,000 Qin soldiers quickened.

This is just the reward promised by Ying Chengjiao.

But every time Ying Chengjiao made a promise, Ying Zheng would always increase the amount on top of Ying Chengjiao's original promise.

For such a huge reward, I would risk my life!
Seeing that the army was getting more motivated, Ying Chengjiao pointed his halberd forward and shouted:

"Beat the victory drum!"

"The whole army counterattacks!"

The eight warriors immediately threw off their shirts and enthusiastically beat the battle drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rapid drumbeats made the soldiers' hearts beat faster and their blood rushed.

More than 30,000 remnants of the Qin army shouted angrily:

"wind!"

"wind!"

"Gale!"

The offensive and defensive momentum suddenly changed!
Su Jiao led the charge, holding his spear upside down, and shouted, "All soldiers, follow me and charge!"

"Revenge for our fallen comrades!"

After such a fierce battle, Su Jiao's physical strength had long been exhausted, and he was covered with several wounds.

But Su Jiao knew better that in this narrow passage, only a fierce general could accomplish the rapid advance that Ying Chengjiao needed.

So even though Su Jiao was exhausted, he still stood at the forefront of the army again!

Otherwise, should we let the Lord lead the charge? However, before Su Jiao could run a few steps, a figure passed by Su Jiao and stabbed the tip of the halberd into the neck of a Zhao soldier.

Ying Bu drew out his blood-stained halberd and laughed wildly: "How can I allow Captain Su to take the lead?"

"Two or three!"

Ying Bu ducked to avoid the incoming spear, half-crouched, with his left hand on his knee and his right hand hanging on the ground, and thrust the halberd in his hand in the direction of the spear.

Then his body suddenly grew, the muscles in his arms swelled, and he urged the tip of the halberd to lift the flesh and blood on the neck of the Zhao soldier, and the halberd swept towards the three Zhao soldiers in front of him!

Under the powerful force, three Zhao soldiers were blown away, and Ying Bu roared angrily:

"Today is the day to slay the general and confer the title of nobility!"

“This is the time to achieve success and fame!”

Looking at Ying Bu's rapid advance, Su Jiao slowed down his pace, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Your Excellency watched my general charging in front of Your Excellency, did you have the same perspective?
Sensing Ying Bu's anxious gaze that kept looking back, Su Jiao thrust out a spear to block the arrows that were shot at Ying Bu, and said loudly: "Generals, march forward!"

"I will be with you two or three!"

Military merit is important.

But for Su Jiao, military merit is not that important.

What is more important is to find, train and cultivate more elite soldiers and generals who can share Ying Chengjiao's worries!

With Su Jiao's explicit permission, Ying Bu was completely relieved and shouted even more excitedly:
"Kill the enemy!"

"Break the formation!"

Fifteen-year-old Ying Bu was still in the growth stage, and his physical strength and skills were far from reaching their peak.

But Ying Bu's natural bravery has enabled him to be very powerful in a small army battlefield!

The Zhao army was already in chaos due to the earthquake and Li Mu's escape, and now they encountered Ying Bu and Su Jiao taking turns to charge. They did not hold out for long before a large number of Zhao soldiers knelt down and surrendered, which increased the speed of the Qin army's advance to a higher level.

Suddenly, Ying Bu's eyes lit up: "Is that person in front of me Lord Zhao Wuan?!"

Su Jiao looked quickly and saw a large number of torches tightly surrounding a general on horseback.

Not far behind the general, there was a large banner flying high in the sky!
Su Jiao excitedly exclaimed: "Yes!"

"That person is Zhao Wuanjun!"

Su Jiao and Ying Bu looked at each other, neither of them shouted loudly, but stopped rotating and instead moved forward side by side, charging forward with all their might!

Su Jiao and Ying Bu hoped to rush to Li Mu's side as soon as possible before Li Mu could react.

But as a general, how could Li Mu's eyes be so terrible?

Why would Li Mu be waiting here for no reason!
Huang Gao urged anxiously: "Coach, retreat quickly!"

"If we don't withdraw our troops now, it may be too late!"

Li Mu shouted angrily: "Stop saying anything that would shake the morale of the army!"

"The elite Qin army is blocking our way back. If our army's morale remains unstable, how can we break through the encirclement?"

"Our army needs a victory to stabilize its morale!"

Doesn’t Li Mu want to break out of the siege?

Li Mu wanted to break out of the siege more than anyone else, and Li Mu also tried to break out!

But Li Mu couldn’t get out!

The Qiang Huai's troops, who were stuck at Wujia Ridge, not only blocked the withdrawal route of Li Mu's troops, but also caused a large number of Zhao troops to turn against them, making Qiang Huai's troops more powerful.

Li Mu could indeed continue to break out, but all that was left for Li Mu were those narrow mountain roads.

By then, there will probably be only a few hundred Zhao soldiers left who can break out with Li Mu, and the rest of the Zhao soldiers will all be lost!

So Li Mu stayed here despite the risk of being killed by the Qin army!
Li Mu tightly grasped the reins with his right hand, and looked at the Qin army's pursuit, muttering:

"Our army needs a victory!"

"Even if it's just a signal of victory!"

Watching Su Jiao and Ying Bu leading the Qin army into the gentle slope of Houpei Mountain, Li Mu could not wait to shout: "Send a message to Captain Zhao Mao's troops!"

"Abandon the Houpei Mountain Camp!"

"Leave no soldiers behind, the whole army will go down the mountain and charge at the battle line!"

In desperate situations, Hu Qiong might run for his life regardless of the consequences, and Ren You might surrender on the spot.

But Zhao Mao will always firmly carry out Li Mu's orders!
With lingering fear, Zhao Mao looked at the direction of the earthquake, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "We are all from Dai County."

"Only with the protection of Lord Wu'an can I avoid becoming a servant of the Xiongnu."

"Only with the great grace of Lord Wu'an can I eat and drink to my heart's content and enjoy wealth and glory!"

"Raise your troops for a thousand days, today is the day to use them!"

"Fight for justice, why fear heaven and earth!"

"My dear friends, don't rush after you die in battle. Let's walk side by side on the road to the underworld!"

"Follow me and charge!"

While roaring, Zhao Mao charged forward with a spear in his hand, which was rare.

Behind Zhao Mao, Li Mu's loyal confidants from Dai County also clenched their spears and roared:

"charge!!!"

With the determination to kill gods, Zhao Mao's troops rushed down the gentle slope of Houpei Mountain and rushed down in the direction of Su Jiao!

The Houpei Mountain section of Fukouxing, which was already piled with countless layers of corpses, once again saw a brutal fight.

Li Mu finally felt relieved and shouted loudly: "Even though Qin Chang'an can activate the earth dragon, everything is within my expectations!"

"Send the order to the entire army!"

"Organize the army!"

"Dash eastward!"
