Alien Summoning System

Chapter 303
The pitch-black night covered the land, and Zhao Ji returned to his military tent exhaustedly. What happened to him today was a big blow. After all, the 20 army was beaten into chaos by thousands of people. But in the past, what happened today will definitely spread, and then he will become the laughing stock of the world.

Thinking of the shame of the day, his eyelids gradually sank. For him who was used to being pampered, today's encounter was really exhausting, and he soon fell asleep.

Suddenly there was a cannon sound outside, followed by the sound of shouting and killing, which woke Zhao Ji up from his sleep.

"What's the noise outside!?" Zhao Ji hurried out and asked the guards on the left and right.

"Dodge, it seems that someone wants to steal the camp! General Zhang and the others have already gone to see it." The two guards were also at a loss, and replied upon hearing this.

After a while, a general came to report: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just a small group of troops, and we have already killed and retreated."

"That's good." Zhao Ji couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard the words. If he had 20 troops by his side before, he would not panic, but today the soldiers of Hangzhou City have brought him too much impact, so he is like a bird of fright. .

Hearing that the enemy had been repelled, he immediately felt much relieved, and went back to sleep in the tent, but just after falling asleep for a while, the shouts of killing came again, and it was true again and again until the middle of the night, and they were repelled again. After the enemy soldiers, the general reacted: "Your Majesty, this is the enemy's exhaustion strategy. It is intended to make our army restless. Tomorrow's attack on the city will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the soldiers."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Ji said bitterly: "Zhuo Ao's traitor is really cunning, he passed on my will, and when he encounters the enemy and shouts to kill him, don't pay attention!"

"Yes."

Next, there were several more shouts of killing. Although Zhao Ji's order was given, at the beginning, the soldiers of all armies were still somewhat vigilant, but after a while, the shouts of killing disappeared by themselves, and the enemy also There was really no attack, and after repeated attempts, the vigilance of the soldiers also relaxed. In addition to the busy day, they were disturbed several times at night, and they were already exhausted. At dawn, even the most vigilant soldiers could not help but feel sleepy and slack off. stand up.

It was at this time that Han Shizhong quietly came outside the camp of the Song army, shot and killed the soldiers above the sentry tower with a dark arrow, and then asked the soldiers to open the city gate, and five hundred cavalry quietly entered the camp.

"Brothers, just set the fire, and we will gather here again in a quarter of an hour." Han Shizhong whispered to a group of cavalry, and took the lead in lighting his own torches and rushed out. People in the army camp rushed in all directions, threw the torches away when they encountered tents, and then ignored the success, and left as soon as they touched it. Even if someone accidentally found it, they were quickly strangled.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire camp of the Song Army was blazing, and countless Song soldiers ran around like headless flies. Zhao Ji found his own guards under the protection of several generals in a panic. The shouts of killing sounded again. At this moment, Zhao Ji couldn't care less. Under the guard of the imperial guards and several generals, he went to the Xicheng camp. As for the soldiers in the original Chinese camp, he couldn't care about it now. .

The soldiers of the Chinese army without command were even more chaotic. Han Shizhong led the cavalry to charge all night, almost all of them were running after the Song army. It became a ruin. The [-] Chinese army plus [-] imperial guards were captured by Han Shizhong and [-] were captured. The rest were either trampled to death by themselves or burned to death, and the others also became deserters. , disappeared.

Han Shizhong led the exhausted cavalry battalion, suppressed [-] prisoners of war, and returned triumphantly amidst the cheers of soldiers all over the city of Hangzhou.

The 20 army broke up the Chinese army before they attacked the city. Only the emperor Zhao Ji fled to the Xicheng camp with a few guards. After this battle, Zhao Ji was frightened and wanted to retreat. But in the end he was dissuaded by a group of generals.

Just kidding, 20 troops marched to Hangzhou, and before they touched the city wall, they folded a quarter of it, and retreated in disgrace, no matter how powerful Zhuo Ao was, it was just a lonely city of Hangzhou with [-] defenders. If you can't fight it, let alone fight Liao, even in the Song Dynasty, you will think that the Song army is weak and incompetent, and if you rise up one after another, wouldn't the world be in chaos that day.

Zhao Ji didn't expect that a battle that he thought was easy to grasp would end up like this, and he couldn't help but regret the hasty decision at the time, but now, it's too late to regret, so he can only cheer up and regroup. This time, he decided Zhuo Ao was no longer given a chance, and after some repairs, the army besieged the city, preparing to take down Hangzhou City in one go.

The army marched to the bottom of the city, looking at the Hangzhou garrison with banners and flags fluttering, and the morale was like a rainbow. Above the city gate, Zhuo Ao was dressed in a brocade robe, looking at the three armies. It seemed that Zhuo Ao was more like an emperor than him. All the things in the past made me angry, and he shouted angrily: "Zhuo Ao is a rebel, the heavenly soldiers have arrived, and he still hasn't left the city to surrender, do you really want to make Hangzhou miserable because of you?"

"Zhao Ji." Zhuo Ao stood on the city tower, looked at Zhao Ji, and said loudly: "Let me ask you, I, Zhuo Ao, have I done anything to harm Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Ji couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, did he harm Da Song?Your behavior has already threatened the imperial power, but how can he say such words.

"I, Zhuo Ao, a squire, although I have no great virtue, I am kind to others on weekdays. The Yangtze River is flooding, and tens of millions of people are displaced. The people are in dire straits, even though you are the emperor of the Song Dynasty, you don’t care about the life and death of the people, and now I donate money to relieve the disaster, but I’m only met with suspicion, and I want to kill the chicken to get the eggs, just ask, who else will dare to help the victims after today?” Zhuo Ao's voice was not high, but he was angry with the three armies. The appearance of Zhao Ji not only did not boost morale, but made morale even lower. On the contrary, the defenders in the city were furious, wishing to kill the ungrateful emperor immediately.

"Today, I, Zhuo Ao, stood on my own, not because I was unfaithful, but because you, a fool, are not worthy of the throne of emperor." Zhuo Ao shouted sharply.

"You..." Zhao Ji's face turned red, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only order angrily: "Siege the city, take down this thief for me."

"It's almost done, call all parties and seize the city!" Looking at Zhao Ji who was almost losing his mind, Zhuo Ao said calmly, with a calm expression.

"Yes!" Huo Lao nodded, and immediately sent letters to all parties with flying pigeons.

The next siege battle is the most important part. Although after last night's defeat, Zhao Ji's troops were lost, but the Song army's strength still occupies an absolute advantage. Only by defending the first offensive of the Song army can the next one be more stable.

Under the command of the generals at all levels, the Song army began to attack slowly. Zhuo Ao sat on the tower and commanded the generals at all levels to defend the city in an orderly manner.

Although there are many enemy troops, but the city wall is such a big place, it is impossible for the opponent to press down on the front line at once, and the [-] defenders can barely hold it.

Although the shouts of killing were loud, the battle was not intense. The morale of the Song army was low, and they lost two consecutive games. Naturally, their momentum was not as strong as that of the defenders. They rushed up again and again, and were driven down again and again, from morning to dusk , Zhao Ji reluctantly withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.

After attacking for more than ten days in a row, they didn't even attack the city wall. However, after so many days, there were only [-] defenders in Hangzhou City. increase.

On this day, Zhao Ji stopped the attack for the time being, and was going to discuss countermeasures with a group of generals on how to break through the city in one fell swoop. While discussing, there was a sudden noise outside, and a dusty general rushed in from outside the camp, bowed his head and bowed down. Said: "Your Majesty, something happened."

"Why panic?" Zhao Ji frowned, dissatisfied.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Suzhou, Jiangzhou, Chaozhou, Yangzhou and other eighteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River were suddenly attacked ten days ago and fell almost at the same time. Now they have been marked with Zhuo Ao's banner!" the general said shyly.

"Eighteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River..." Zhao Ji's eyes froze when he heard the words, and he murmured: "Doesn't that mean that the land in the south of the Yangtze River has already become Zhuo Ao's world? General Zhang, how many soldiers and horses do we have? "

"Your Majesty, we have fought fiercely day and night for more than ten days, and our army still has 11 troops!" General Zhang stepped forward and replied respectfully.

"We must take down Hangzhou City as soon as possible. As long as Zhuo Ao is taken down, the rest of the rebels will be destroyed without attack!" After more than ten days of experience, Zhao Ji has made some progress.

"Your Majesty is wise, the last general will prepare now." General Zhang nodded upon hearing this.

"Report~" General Zhang was about to leave, when a soldier rushed in hurriedly, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, our army has stockpiled grain and grass thirty miles away, and for some reason, it suddenly caught fire. The entire grain and grass camp was destroyed by a fire!"

"What!" Zhao Ji exclaimed, no matter how ignorant he is, he still knows that food and grass are the lifeblood of the three armies. If this news gets out, the three armies may immediately mutiny. Don't let the soldiers know about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Report~"

Before General Zhang left, another urgent report came. This time, it was a blood-stained and distressed soldier who even had a few arrow clusters stuck in his body, looking extremely distressed.

"What's the bad news this time?" Zhao Ji was already numb to the successive news at this moment, but he was very calm.

"Returning to Your Majesty, for some reason, Xu Da, the Tongguan commander, suddenly led his troops into the capital, attacked the palace, and slaughtered all the blood of the royal family! Now the capital is under the control of Xu Da, and there are also turmoil in the frontier army. Several generals were killed. The frontier army was also controlled by a general named Zhao Yun."

"Puff~"

Everyone looked up, only to see that Zhao Ji had passed out on the ground.
