Horse on the World

Chapter 459

Seeing Chen Chong's desperate expression, Liao Bin looked miserable, walked forward, and hugged this old comrade who had fought side by side with him since his fortune, "Maybe we made a mistake at the beginning, old Chen , Now that we are bereaved dogs, no one will welcome us, I will be here, fighting side by side with you, if we die, we will die together!"

Gently pushing Liao Bin away, Chen Chong said: "Commander, you are wrong. It is precisely because we are homeless dogs that someone will accept us. As long as you firmly control the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who followed you to break through, if You are still the commander-in-chief of Quanzhou, so there is really nowhere to go! Now the general situation of the world is basically clear, and the trend of three parts of the world has been basically formed. Whether it is in the south or Luoyang, you are definitely welcome to join us of."

Liao Bin's expression changed. He had never thought about these things before, and he was a little confused. On the contrary, Chen Chong, after going through the pain of bereavement, became more clear-headed.

"Then tell me, where should I go?" Liao Bin said, obviously agreeing with Chen Chong's point of view.

"Luoyang!" Chen Chong said without hesitation, "The southern army fell into the trap of the Xiao family and lost most of its elite. In the future three-point world situation, it will be the weakest side. He can be destroyed at any time, but because of this, he will be dying for a long time because of this, but he has no future, Dingzhou Li Qing, it would be good if we joined him from the beginning However, since we have reached this point, there is no reason to choose him. And Luoyang!"

Chen Chong paused, and said: "Nowadays we all understand one thing, all things were planned by the first emperor, he did not die, but hid himself behind the scenes, Commander, we all regarded His Majesty Tianqi as A cowardly and useless emperor made a big mistake, but I am afraid that no one in the world would have thought that he could actually make such a decision for the inheritance of Great Chu, and even give up the throne."

Liao Bin smiled wryly, "Because it's unimaginable, no one would think that from ancient times to the present, except for the ancient and barbaric era, the emperor did not try his best to maintain his status, so did he do that? He deceived the world, Such a person is either extremely intelligent or extremely crazy!"

"Most, since he was still a prince, he has been deceiving everyone in the world. Of course, if it wasn't for this, how could he have won the support of several big families at that time and snatched the throne from King Ning?" , Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous, those big family members at that time never thought that they would choose a gravedigger for themselves after a thousand choices." Chen Chong said with a smile.

"Prince Ning is weak, and his self-protection is not enough. We can only watch from the sidelines in this competition. In the future, the Great Chu will enter a confrontation between the east and the west. The duel between Li Qing and His Majesty Tianqi will definitely be the most exciting in the past century. Unfortunately, I can't see the battle!" Chen Chong exclaimed.Although he hated Li Qing to the bone, he could rationally admit that Li Qing was indeed a formidable opponent.

Liao Bin stared at Chen Chong, "Old Chen, there is hope only if you are alive, come with me! There is still a chance for revenge in the future."

Chen Chong shook his head, "If we leave together, then neither of us will be able to leave. Besides, Commander, I have no interest in life. As for revenge for our family in the future, won't there be you?"

Liao Bin heard the meaning from these words, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say much, I can only keep your affection in my heart, and I will avenge you in the future, don't worry, brother and sister Come with me, and I will send her back to your hometown!"

Chen Chong smiled, "The old wife has decided to live and die with me, but she doesn't bother the commander in chief. If there is a chance, there are still some nephews in my hometown, and the commander in chief will choose an honest and responsible adoptive one for me. Don't let my room lose the incense!"

Liao Bin covered his face and remained silent.

Chen Chong said with a long bow: "Commander, from today onwards, you have to organize the retreat as soon as possible. Liu Yefei also has the talent of a general, and the commander can rely on him a lot in the future."

After saying this, he turned around and walked out without looking back.

The Dingzhou army only stopped for two days, and from the third day onwards, the offensive resumed. The Dingzhou army, which had been rested for two days, attacked more fiercely. Earlier, Chen Chong was running on the city wall, covered in blood, and when there was a danger there, he took the lead and rushed to it. Even so, at sunset, the east city wall was still lost, and the Tianlei Battalion under the Qi Nian Division of the Dingzhou Army attacked come up.

The Tianlei Battalion is known as the strongest infantry in the Dingzhou Army. It once resisted the impact of nearly [-] barbarian cavalry with a single battalion without breaking up. Its combat power can be imagined. They attacked the city wall , It will be even more difficult to chase them down.

The morale of one side is like a rainbow, but the other side is sluggish. The result can be imagined. The Tianlei Battalion began to gradually expand the bridgehead on the city. When Chen Chong organized enough reserve teams to rush up, the Tianlei Battalion had nearly a thousand The people climbed up and formed a solid formation on the city wall. At this moment, it was impossible to drive them away. Chen Chong tried his best, but he could only block them in the east section.

Li Qing, who was watching the battle, was overjoyed with the victory of the east city wall. As long as the Dingzhou army had a firm foothold on the city wall, they would be smashed to pieces even if they had a solid wall.

"Light the torches, attack overnight, and take down Quanzhou City for me today!"

The east city was lost, and the focus of the Dingzhou army's attack was immediately shifted. At this moment, the gate of the west city was hurriedly opened, and a group of army hornets swarmed in. The leader was Liu Yefei, the strong general of Quanzhou.The west side was not the focus of the Dingzhou army's attack. Here, half a battalion of infantry was placed on guard for symbolic purposes. Seeing that there were ten thousand enemy troops leaving the city, and most of them were cavalry, the Dingzhou army here The commander immediately shrunk his formation wisely, preparing to guard against death.

If the Dingzhou army didn't take the initiative to attack, Liu Yefei would not be so stupid as to take the initiative to provoke. He commanded the army to pass between the Dingzhou army formations, and fled away without stopping.

Seeing the enemy fleeing, the commander of Dingzhou couldn't help being stunned. In the military order conveyed by Li Qing, all he considered was that Liao Bin would strictly guard against death, stalk and fight, and even made a plan for street fighting, but he didn't expect it Liao Bin will flee desperately.

Surprised, this officer immediately sent someone to report to Li Qing, and led his subordinates to follow him. There were more than [-] people on the other side, and he only had less than [-] people. The gap was too big, which made him cautious and dare not Follow closely, in case the opponent kills a carbine and bites him down, it is absolutely not cost-effective. In addition, the opponent's cavalry accounted for the vast majority, and the chase was getting farther and farther.

After receiving the report, Li Qing immediately understood that Liao Bin had escaped, a trace of regret flashed across his eyebrows, and he looked back at the mountain wind, "Launch a general offensive, and at the same time publicize that Liao Bin has escaped, destroying the morale of the enemy defending the city!"

In fact, there is no need for the Dingzhou Army to publicize, the guarding soldiers on the city have already felt that the commander has gone, the morale of the army suddenly collapsed, most of the soldiers turned around and ran down the city, and more people directly dropped their weapons and held their heads Squatting down on the spot, Dingzhou soldiers all appeared on the long city wall in a short while.

Chen Chong, who was commanding the troops to fight against the Tianlei Battalion, knew that Liao Bin should have escaped at this time. Amidst the loud laughter, he also turned over and walked down the city. His direct troops followed him and went straight down the city. Once Chen Chong left, the rest With a whoosh, the army scattered like birds and beasts.

Chen Chong did not flee out of the city, but led hundreds of people straight to his house. At this time, the city of Quanzhou was already in chaos, with broken soldiers running around everywhere.

"The city is broken! Run for your life!"

"The commander-in-chief left us and ran away!"

Various sounds resounded throughout the city, and the most startling sound was the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground. It was that Dingzhou had opened the city gate and let in Li Qing's cavalry troops.

Stepping into his own courtyard, Chen Chong turned around and said to hundreds of loyal subordinates: "Brothers, after finishing the last thing, you all run for your lives!"

Hundreds of soldiers bowed together: "Treasure the general!"

Chen Chong smiled, and solemnly clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, "Thank you, brothers!"

Hundreds of people turned around, scattered away, and disappeared in the streets and alleys of Quanzhou city in an instant.

Chen Chong smiled and still dropped the blood-stained sword. He didn't even close the door. He walked in while taking off the steel armor on his body. Inside, his wife had prepared a brand new dress. , she herself is even more well-dressed.Under the service of his wife, Chen Chong put on his new shirt, wrapped his arms around his wife's waist, and said, "It's ready!"

The woman smiled, "Today we are going to meet Guang'er, I am very happy!"

At this time, the house was already full of flammable objects, and grease was poured on them.

Chen Chong nodded, "That's right, our family is about to reunite." He picked up the bull candle from the table with his left hand, hugged the woman tighter with his right hand, and threw the candle flame onto the grease. Get up, hugging the woman with both hands, Chen Chong sat down on the floor of the main room, the woman wrapped his arms around his neck, and buried her head deeply in his arms, the two of them were like a sculpture, until the fire engulfed them, they were never seen again. The two move.

The fire in Chen Chong's residence seemed to be a signal. Hundreds of thousands of places in the whole prefecture were bursting with flames at the same time. It was obvious that the fire had been planned for a long time. In less than half an hour, the entire city was completely engulfed in flames.

The Dingzhou army did not enter the city of Quanzhou very deeply. Although they turned around and retreated quickly when they saw the opportunity, many people were trapped in the sea of ​​fire and could not get out. The first batch of cavalry to enter the city was more miserable. The horses were fast and ran deep. It is more difficult to turn around and withdraw. A group of thousands of cavalry who entered the city only withdrew less than half.

And those Quanzhou soldiers were miserable. Those who surrendered in the city were better off, and those who fled into the city had nowhere to go. Going forward, there was a raging fire, and turning back, blocked the way of the retreating Dingzhou army. At this time, the Dingzhou Army didn't say anything about not killing prisoners. As long as they were Quanzhou soldiers standing in front, they would all be cut down and overthrown.

An hour later, Quanzhou City basically turned into a big ball of fire. Li Qing gritted his teeth outside the city, pointing at the sky and the earth, but there was nothing he could do about it. It is also indestructible.It is clear that Quanzhou City had planned to burn the city a long time ago, and with such a large fire, I am afraid that the army will be able to withdraw after it has been set up for many days, but how many people in Quanzhou City can escape or survive? That's really hard to say.

Damn Liao Bin, you committed a crime against humanity!Li Qing thought to himself, after I caught you, how many people died in Quanzhou city today, I will cut you as many knives!
