The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 588

"Hurry up, whoever dares to retreat, I will cut him off!" Seeing a soldier retreating, an officer immediately roared angrily.

The defenders on the city wall had no way out, no matter how many casualties there were, they would fight to the death to protect their wives and children.

But these attacking forbidden troops are different, they can retreat if they can't fight.

At this moment, the casualties of the imperial army have reached [-]%, and there are corpses piled up under the city wall, and those who are still alive are wailing.

At this point, it is very normal for the army to lose their minds. This is not a single person wanting to retreat, but a common thought of a large number of soldiers.

So even if there are officers to supervise the battle, cut down the deserters and drive others to the wall, these soldiers don't have the courage to continue climbing.

But at this moment on the city wall, although the number of casualties was large and they were very tired, their will to fight was still high.

"Drive them off the wall!"

This is the only wish of the soldiers and civilians defending the city. Their voices contain fighting spirit, piercing into the hearts of the soldiers of the imperial army like sharp swords.

Can such a bloody and brave army really be defeated by oneself?Most soldiers of the imperial army had similar questions.

"Run... run away..."

I don't know who yelled this, which directly caused the whole team to start to collapse, which in turn affected the attacking team next to them.

In fact, they only collapsed when [-]% of the casualties occurred. In the era of cold weapons, they were very rare elites. Unfortunately, what they encountered was the Yong army defending the city.

The turning point in the battle has arrived, and Ma Shan came to the tower and sounded the drum representing the counterattack.

The drums were loud, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city broke out with even higher fighting enthusiasm, which defeated the fighting spirit of the Forbidden Army in one fell swoop.

When there is a rout in one place, it will affect other teams one after another, and finally cause the overall rout.

"Go back...all go back!" Zhou Qing jumped off his horse and beheaded a deserter with a single blow.

But it didn't work at all. Zhou Qing couldn't stop the retreating troops by himself, so he could only watch the soldiers retreat.

At this moment, I only heard Cai Yongkun shouting: "Collect the defeated soldiers and form a new formation..."

Following the thousands of households who had returned, they resumed their duties and called for the soldiers to gather.

"Old Cai...we have lost!" Zhou Qing turned around with a look of sadness.

Even being unable to beat a group of mobs was a great blow to Zhou Qing and directly crushed his confidence.

"These defenders, although they were recruited temporarily...but they were able to fight to the death without retreating. It was our miscalculation!"

Sighing, Cai Yongkun said: "Longyou was first occupied by monsters, these people can survive... they shouldn't be saved by ordinary people!"

It is too late to say these now, after all, they have already lost.

But if they don't fight this battle, it is impossible for them to realize this.

"What... what should we do next?" Zhou Qing asked, he was panicking now.

Cai Yongkun had low psychological expectations at the beginning, so he could accept the failure calmly, and his thoughts were not affected at the moment.

"Let the sons rest for a while, so you and I can discuss it before making plans!"

Don't be in a hurry at this time, you have to consider everything carefully before making a plan, otherwise you may make a wrong judgment.

"it is good……"

When the two commanders here were in a hurry to get angry, the soldiers and civilians on the city wall had already cheered.

It has been reported that after the bitter battle, they defended their homeland, so they are naturally very happy at the moment.

"Long live the prince..."

"Long live the prince..."

In the end, all the cheers turned into these four words, resounding up and down the city wall.

"Move the corpses down the wall, don't let them occupy the place..."

"Rescue the wounded immediately, and quickly carry them back to the city for treatment..."

"The whole army must not relax, and strictly prevent the enemy from counterattacking..."

Ordinary soldiers and civilians can cheer, but the officers are still performing their duties, reminding everyone not to relax.

"Ma Qianhu, we won!" At this moment, Duan Qingyu, the county magistrate, appeared behind Ma Shan.

"We were supposed to win... Hurry up and report the victory to His Highness!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Upon hearing this, Duan Qingyu also came to his senses.

When he turned to go to the county government office, Ma Shan continued to command the soldiers and civilians defending the city, pulling a siege ladder into the city and destroying it.

In the main hall of the Privy Council, Zhao Yanxun took the first seat, surrounded by officials of the Privy Council.

In the center of the main hall, only the "telephone" rang: "His Royal Highness, the four thousand soldiers of the Imperial Army have attacked the city and have been repelled by our army..."

This news was forwarded by the Tianjin government office.

The news from various government offices can be sent directly to the Jinshen Palace, the Changshi Department and the Privy Council, but after all, soldiers are going to be used these few days, so Zhao Yanxun ordered to call directly to the Privy Council, and he himself stays here.

After hearing that the first wave of attack had been defended, everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

The reinforcements will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. As long as we hold on in the morning and survive the afternoon, the crisis will be considered over.

I only heard Zhao Yanxun say: "Defending the Qianhu Ma Mountain in Yanfeng County, Duan Qingyu, the magistrate of the county, has made great contributions!"

Only a group of officials said: "His Highness Quan Nai is as virtuous as heaven!"

Everyone said these words very neatly, if it was not rehearsed in advance, no one would believe it.

But at this time, Zhao Yanxun remembered another thing.

"This afternoon, Bei'an Mansion will start the second round of negotiations. Presumably the people from the Imperial Army will make a fuss about today's siege!"

Guan Hetai nodded, and replied: "Indeed!"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yanxun said: "Send a message to Luo Lun and tell him that our defense is tight and we have severely damaged the invading Forbidden Army!"

Although it is not yet a serious injury, it is only a matter of time for Zhao Yanxun.

Even if Yanfeng County was captured by the forbidden army, it would not be too difficult to wipe out these forbidden army, and the loss was within Zhao Yanxun's tolerance.

"As ordered!"

After hanging up the phone here, Guan Hetai personally dialed the phone number at the dock and passed on Zhao Yanxun's instructions.

The news was transmitted from the wharf to Changyou County, then to Pingshan Mansion, and finally to Bei'an Mansion.

"Okay, I get it!"

After speaking, Lauren hung up the phone.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Imperial Army had been constantly mobilized in the past two days, and why Wang Cheng'an had approached the capital of the Northland many times.

Now it seems that the Forbidden Army is trying to win over the Northern Capital to draw closer to the Forbidden Army by virtue of their "big victory" in Longyou.

After the first negotiation, although Liu Shili, the commander of the capital, did not meet himself, he also found out the general idea of ​​the northern capital.

Compared to accepting the "gift" from Longyou, they are actually more inclined to grab food on their own. Not making a decision now is just a bargain.

"We can't let them lead us by the nose, we can do something!"

Thinking of this, Lauren called Pingshan Mansion.

"Lord Luo, what instructions do you have?"

"Fang Qianhu, find a way to attack the food road of the forbidden army in Hongxi County!"

The actions of the Forbidden Army made Roren firm in his idea of ​​promoting talks through fighting, but he was still very cautious.

"Wait for your words, if such bastards dare to go to Longyou, we should teach them a lesson!" Fang Sheng's voice was full of joy.

Lauren said solemnly: "Remember, the most important thing is to protect yourself, and don't take risks!"

Fang Sheng suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Lauren sat back on the chair, already thinking about the next negotiation.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, a guard came out to remind: "Lord Luo, it's time!"

"understood!"
