Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 268 Court Support
"admire."

Liu Jihan, the commander of the trapped soldiers, laughed and said sincerely.

Zhao Kang's courage to die with the enemy is exactly the style of their warriors trapped in battle.

The ambition to be trapped will lead to death but not life.

"Now, what are the plans of the Imperial Master?" Zhou Long asked.

Zhao Kang glanced at Ye Hongxue and clasped his hands: "Ten days, we will guard for ten days! If we don't see support from the court in these ten days, we will withdraw."

Chen Xuanlong sighed: "If we do this, it will be even harder to win next."

Zhao Kang closed his eyes and said calmly: "I have been blocking here for so long. Originally, I didn't mind fighting to the death with the enemy. But I can't always be taken advantage of."

"I want to see if that bastard can still keep his composure when the two states fall!"

Everyone was a little confused, not knowing who Zhao Kang was scolding.

With Zhao Kang's instructions, the three generals no longer had to worry about whether to defend or withdraw.

Just obey the orders of your superiors.

There was no fighting on the first day after Ye Hongxue entered the customs.

The soldiers had a rare day off, but their tense nerves did not relax, and everyone knew it.

The current tranquility is just brewing a bigger storm.

The imperial capital of the Qian Kingdom.

Taifu's house.

Lin Yu arrived excitedly. This meeting was even held in the secret room of Zhao Jinsheng's home.

Everyone is waiting for him.

After Lin Yu sat down, Zhao Jinsheng, who had always been calm, couldn't stand still and looked at Lin Yu who had just returned from other places.

"How is it?"

Lin Yu clenched his fist: "Everything has been arranged. One hundred thousand kilograms of explosives were sent to Tongzhou as quickly as possible ten days ago. The people from the Ministry of War were even too busy to inspect. It could be delivered to Tongzhou in four days at most. After it was sent to Zhao In the hands of that bastard Kang!"

"Hahahaha, okay! This time, Zhao Kang, it is really unforgivable for you not to die!" Tai Fu Zhao Jinsheng laughed three times.

Lin Yu, who had always wanted to kill Zhao Kang before, now felt a little scared after what happened.

"Mr. Zhao, you said that if people knew this in the future..."

"Shut your crow's mouth."

Zhao Jinsheng shouted coldly: "How is this possible? Once the Jinlin Pass is broken, Zhao Kang will not be able to fly out even if he has wings. When the time comes, the entire army will be wiped out. Who will know about this?"

"At that time, as long as that person stands up and repels the enemy army, everyone will only shout for his achievements and angrily criticize the defeated army of Zhao Kang and others."

"No one will investigate how they lost! No one will care about the process, only the results. This is human nature."

Listening to Zhao Jinsheng's words, Lin Yu's troubled heart gradually relaxed, and then revealed a hint of ferocity.

This time Zhao Kang is needed, and he will be doomed!

Time passed little by little, and three days had passed since Zhao Kang said he would defend the city for ten days.

The enemy's offensive strikes again, at a time when the battle situation is tense.

A soldier came to the top of the city and said, "Guardian, there are scouts from Tongzhou coming to report!"

Zhao Kang immediately said: "Take me there!"

When he came to the camp and looked at the scarred scout, Zhao Kang didn't care that he was a dying man and grabbed his hand.

"Tell me what news you have!"

With difficulty, the waiter took out a letter from his arms and said with his last strength: "The gunpowder has been delivered. Please send troops to support the army."

At this moment, Zhao Kang was in an excited mood!He immediately opened Zhang Zheng's letter.

According to the letter, the imperial court rushed to make 300 kilograms of gunpowder this time, and a total of [-] taels of gunpowder were loaded in it.Zhang Zheng has mobilized all the troops, and even mobilized [-] reserve troops from Liangzhou, and he must send this batch of explosives to Zhao Kang no matter what.

And wrote in the letter where they would start from.

Of the 300 scouts, only one person finally delivered the news to Zhao Kang.

"Chance to win!"

Zhao Kang laughed wildly. According to his previous assumptions and explosion point, one hundred thousand kilograms was enough to blow up the entire Jinlin Pass!
Still win!
"Trapped soldiers, gather your troops! Chen Xuanlong draws 1 people out! Support from the imperial court is coming!"

Zhao Kang yelled and ran out. After a while, 5000 people gathered.

Almost one-half of the Jinlin Pass garrison.

"Please, everyone, as long as we get this support back, we can win!" Zhao Kang looked at Liu Jihan, who was leading the team.

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. Even if I fight to the death, I will get these three hundred carriages back!"

"please!"

Seeing Liu Jihan and others setting off from the north gate, Zhao Kang's heart lifted.

Ye Hongxue said softly: "Why don't I go too? I'll be more confident."

"No need, Zhang Zheng has dispatched the entire army this time, which is enough to deal with the enemy troops who have circled to the rear."

Zhao Kang said, but he still underestimated the enemy's determination this time.

There are three hundred carriages pulling heavy goods. You can tell with your butt that the things inside are definitely very important and they must not be sent to Jinlin Pass.

Therefore, this time the elites of Zhou and Qi also risked their lives.

Last time, Ye Hongxue killed him to death and he was already very humiliated. This time, he couldn't let these carriages go by no matter what.

A full day and night.

On the one hand, Zhao Kang had to organize his manpower to stop the enemy's siege, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to the situation in the north.

Even he couldn't help but become anxious.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the soldiers came to report that the man was back.

Zhao Kang hurriedly led his people to the north gate to meet him, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

Fifteen thousand people left, but less than 5000 came back.Many people were carrying a box on their backs.

This is what they fought to get back with their lives.

"Where is General Liu!" Zhao Kang looked at Zhang Long.

Zhang Long, who had a hideous wound on his face, carried the box and said in a trembling voice: "The enemy is totally desperate and must destroy this batch of gunpowder no matter what."

"The battle situation was very tragic. In order to cover our evacuation, General Liu led the trapped soldiers to retreat, but he was already killed."

Zhao Kang trembled, and Ye Hongxue beside him clenched his fists tightly.

Zhang Long put down the box and said: "The escort officer said that one box is thirty kilograms, which is a lot of three thousand three hundred boxes."

Looking at the soldiers looking at him one by one, Zhao Kang took a deep breath: "Okay! This is your life. If you win this battle, it will be your first achievement."

As he spoke, Zhao Kang stepped forward, opened the first box, and suddenly closed it quickly. Everyone was a little confused by his reaction.

Then I heard Zhao Kang laughing.

"Master." Brother Diao was a little creepy. Hearing Zhao Kang's laughter, he felt a little like a servant.

"It's okay, it's okay. Zhang Long will take the brothers down for a good meal. You all should go too." Zhao Kang said with a smile.

Only Ye Hongxue noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said: "You all should stand down."

When everyone had dispersed, Ye Hongxue watched Zhao Kang keep his eyes on the box. No matter how stupid he was, he understood that something had happened.

She couldn't help but ask: "Is there something wrong with the thing?"
