Chapter 469 The Emperor Disappears
Chapter 474 The Emperor Is Missing

The battle has entered a state of anxiety, and both sides have suffered a lot of casualties, but they are both suffocating and unwilling to relax.

Of course, strictly speaking, the Chinese army still has a slight advantage.

Because the Chinese army is besieging, while the Dashi soldiers and horses are swearing to break out of the siege, with the purpose of escaping.

Battle reports were made every few minutes, and Zhang Xuan's face became more and more gloomy every time he reported to the emperor.

His heart aches, soldiers die every second on the battlefield, his heart is extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

But for the future of the Chinese dynasty, this battle is inevitable.

Standing on the tower of Khiva, Zhang Xuan looked at the place where the battle took place, and the sound of swords and guns colliding like mountains roaring and tsunami echoed in his ears.

Zhang Xuan stomped his feet suddenly and shouted, "Come on, prepare your horses, I want to come to the battle in person!"

Because Guo Ziyi and others were commanding on the battlefield, only Chen Tong and Tian Kexin, a man and a woman, were left beside the emperor. Of course, there were also [-] guards.

Chen Tong was taken aback, and knelt down with a puff, "Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, and you are not allowed to go to war in person. I have a strict order from Prime Minister Guo to protect your majesty's safety. Please take back your majesty's order!"

Tian Kexin also sighed quietly, "It's too dangerous for His Majesty to come to the battle in person, it's better to stay in Khiva City and wait."

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Every time I think of my army's sons and sons fighting the enemy in blood on the battlefield, I feel very anxious. I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I want to be with my sons and daughters. In this battle, we must To win!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xuan ignored Chen Tong and Tian Kexin, ran down the tower, and ordered the guard general Zhang Lan to gather [-] guards and leave the city.Seeing that they couldn't stop the emperor, Chen Tong and Tian Kexin had no choice but to go down from the tower and followed them on horseback.

The two sides are fighting fiercely.

On the left, Lei Wanchun's eyes were red from killing, and his armor was covered in blood.Wielding the Mo Dao, he rushed to the front without hesitation, leading the cavalry and infantry to charge up wave after wave.

"Boys, kill, kill ten people to be the head of the army, kill a hundred to be a school captain, kill a thousand to be a general, and capture and kill the prime minister of the big food country, and be a ten thousand householder!"

"Kill his mother!"

"Whoever is greedy for life and afraid of death, I will never forgive him!"

Lei Wanchun wiped the blood on his face, and slashed forward with the Mo knife in his hand, chopping off a rushing cavalryman, and roared, "What are you waiting for? What are you afraid of? There are no eggs growing in the crotch Is it? Give it to me! Either the big cannibal will die, or I will die!"

To be honest, what kind of general is what kind of soldier.The tens of thousands of people led by Lei Wanchun are extremely tough. During this day and night, they have exhausted all their firearms, and all of them are desperate to fight Dashi with real knives and guns, unless their heads are lost or they are slightly injured. Not under the line of fire.

"Kill!" Countless soldiers were red-eyed, no matter what formation or formation, tactics or tactics, a group of three or fifty people rushed towards the direction of the Dashi army soldiers, slashing with their knives.One group fell, and another group rushed to the top immediately, and the scene was extremely tragic.

On the other side, it was relatively easy for Li Siye to lead his Modao Army and Shenwu Army, because Lei Wanchun used firearms in the direction, attracting the main force of the cannibals.

Since Li Siye was transferred to Longshuo from the Western Regions, he has been appointed as a general under Zhang Xuan's bid, but he has not really played his role.During the counter-insurgency period, the Modao Army did not have much use.

But this time, in the duel with the big cannibal, the Mo Dao Army really played a key role.

A slap of the cavalry of the Shenwu Army shouted and rushed over, and a slap of the long Mo Dao waved like a forest, and immediately there was light and blood of the sword, leaving behind a corpse.With good tactics and a uniform formation, the Modao Army has brought out its maximum combat effectiveness.

As for the middle road, Guo Ziyi, who has always been known as a Confucian general, was also splattered with blood all over his body.This shows that he no longer sits in the back of the army, but directly leads the army to the front.

Guo Ziyi brandished his spear, and the two hundred soldiers behind him waved their battle flags, and some of them beat the mighty military drum with their shirts off, inspiring the black soldiers to charge up like mountains and seas.

……

……

The rear of the big cannibal.

Suddenly there was a high-pitched shout of killing, and under the clear sky, dense rockets flew over, and immediately made countless big food soldiers run away in all directions in horror.They have already tasted the bitterness. This kind of mysterious firearm is almost impossible to defend against. Although the direct lethality is not very strong, the horses will be frightened by it. , casualties cannot be measured.

Nan Jiyun pointed his spear forward and shouted violently, "Boys, charge! The main force of my army is in front, and I will follow the order to break up the enemy formation!"

Ge Shulige rode his horse and raised his whip on the other side, leading his soldiers to hide and kill him.

The two had already successfully withdrawn from the vision of the Dashi army, but before they arrived at Huoxun Country, they got the news that the army was going to war.Nan Jiyun made a decisive decision and decided to turn back with Ge Shu Lige and launch a harassing attack from behind the Dashi army.

The two of them only have 4 people. If the 4 people's attack is not supported by the three Chinese army horses in the front and on the left and right sides, they will definitely be eaten, and they will not pose a threat to the big food army.But now it's different, the Dashi army horse was already a little unstable, and suddenly he was stabbed fiercely in the back, so how can he not be chaotic.

Oh oh oh!
On the battlefield, the melodious and desolate sound of the bugle suddenly came to mind, and the emperor's clear and powerful voice echoed: My sons, my sons!I am with you!I will fight bloody battles with you, destroy the food, and create the power of our country and army together!

According to my decree, those who capture and kill the Great Food General will be promoted to three ranks in a row, and those who capture and kill the Minister of the Great Food Kingdom Ebuler will be named Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!

Above the audience, the spirit of the Chinese soldiers was lifted.

On the left wing, Lei Wanchun, who was in the middle of a fight, yelled, "Your Majesty will come to the battle in person, and you will not die! Kill! Whoever dares to be a coward, I will cut off his eggs and send them to the palace to be eunuchs!"

"Long live my emperor!"

In the direction of the center, there was a thunderous shout of long live from the tens of thousands of soldiers, and the Chinese soldiers all over the mountains and plains rushed towards the Dashi army formation as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The Great Food Army Formation finally loosened.

The subsequent raid by Nan Jiyun and Ge Shulige, the desperate attack by the left and right flanks, and the emperor's personal visit to the battle to boost morale finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Dashi army began to flee.Some people fled, causing chaos in the whole army in a short time.

The remaining [-] cannibals fought and fled, and were defeated like a mountain.

……

……

The Great Food Army was defeated, a disastrous defeat. After two days and one night of fierce collision with the Chinese army, the 25 army, only 5 survivors fled to the depths of Dashi.Meng Bai, the master of the food, died in the chaos of the war, and Ebuler, the prime minister of the food country, disappeared.

Of course, for the Chinese army, it also paid a huge price.

More than half of the coalition forces with nine surnames in Zhaowu suffered casualties, leaving only 2 people.Li Siye's Shenwu army suffered more than [-] casualties.As Lei Wanchun was under the greatest pressure and suffered the heaviest casualties, half of his staff was reduced.On the contrary, Guo Ziyi's Chinese army did not suffer a lot of casualties because of its proper tactics.

In the final statistics, nearly 6 people were killed or injured in the Chinese army.However, the annihilation of the 20 army of Dashi was considered a brilliant victory.As a result, the national strength of the food will be greatly reduced, and at least the health preservation will be restored for more than ten years.

Night falls.The battlefield is basically ready to be cleaned up. Compared with the elation of ordinary soldiers after the victory, the expressions on the faces of Guo Ziyi and other generals and officials are very dignified.

This battle was won and a heavy price was paid, but the big cannibal's loss was even greater.

This battle can definitely be recorded in the annals of history. As the generals who personally participated in the battle, their names will go down in history.However, they couldn't be happy, instead they were worried and restless.

Because, the emperor disappeared.

During the war, 1 guards protected the emperor. Guo Ziyi devoted all his energy to destroying and chasing the Dashi army, but no trace of the emperor was found.On a battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting, the advance and retreat of thousands of people is actually nothing.

It wasn't until the end of the battle that Guo Ziyi realized that the emperor had disappeared, along with thousands of guards around the emperor.

Could it be... Guo Ziyi's face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered people to run three ways to find the emperor's trace.

For several days, there was no news from the emperor.

Guo Ziyi didn't dare to reveal the emperor's disappearance, and after discussing with Nan Jiyun and others, he suppressed the news that would shake the world.

However, the emperor was still missing, and Guo Ziyi couldn't explain to the whole army.More importantly, after the victory, the behavior of the army and whether the troops should return to the court all depend on the emperor to decide.

In Khiva City, inside the Commander's Mansion, Guo Ziyi was very anxious and restless.

The three armies he sent to search for the emperor had penetrated hundreds of miles into Dashi territory, but none of them had heard from the emperor.There is no certainty whether the emperor is dead or alive.

Tian Kexin walked in slowly, looked at Guo Ziyi and smiled lightly, "Mr. Guo."

"Miss Kexin." Guo Ziyi clasped her fists hastily and said, "Your Majesty is missing, and this old man is very anxious. What should I do now? Please teach me, Miss Kexin."

"Guo Xiang, His Majesty's absence is all right. At this moment, our army has won a great victory, and the battle has established the situation. In Kexin's opinion, the army should return to the court immediately. According to His Majesty's will, order Shu Lige to make peace with him." Guo Yao guards the land of Zhaowu's nine surnames and the land of Huoxun. In addition, let Xun Zhang stay in Khiva City, waiting for political negotiations with the big cannibal."

"The main force of the army will be led by Guo Xiang and the generals, let's return to the court quickly."

Guo Ziyi raised her eyebrows suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Then, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..." Tian Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has already taken 5000 guards around Tocharo and returned to the Central Plains via Tubo. Before your Majesty leaves, let Kexin send this letter to you." Pass the secret decree to Prime Minister Guo."

Tian Kexin took out the secret decree, Guo Ziyi was shocked, trembling, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

He had been nervous and worried for several days, restless in sleep and food, and suddenly heard the news that the emperor was safe and sound, and as soon as he relaxed, he passed out in a coma.
