The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 681 Immediate Rescue
(Sorry! Everyone!!)

Although Yuan Zheng escaped, they lacked lighting equipment and encountered many obstacles in their journey at night, which greatly delayed their speed.

The fourth guard led by Xu Hong directly crossed Xingjiazhuang, biting Yuan Zheng who was fleeing in front.

From Xu Hong's point of view, those who stayed in Xingjiazhuang must surely die, and he had to eat the rest of them.

He, Xu Hong, has lost trust in Zhao Yanxun's heart since the incident of officials breaking into the palace. Although he still holds a high position in the palace, he is completely excluded from the core of power.

So this time, his first effort must be beautiful.

They were separated by three to five miles, and finally they bit Yuan Zheng and his party seven miles east of Xingjiazhuang.

Immediately afterwards, there was a one-sided war.

Xu Hong's 1000 cavalry had an extraordinary advantage over Yuan Zheng's [-] men.

Fighting head-on is looking for death, so Yuan Zheng simply ordered to let all the ministries break through on their own.

As a result, his team of more than 1000 people immediately separated into more than a dozen teams and fled in different directions.

Aware of Yuan Zheng's intentions, Xu Hong sneered and said, "It's just courting death!"

They couldn't see the road clearly at night, so Long Zhiwei's men fled separately. Even if they could escape from the Yong army's knife, many of them would die in the mouths of zombies.

Of course, if they win with the Yong army, it will only lead to annihilation faster.

From this point of view, Yuan Zheng's decision is undoubtedly correct.

"Every thousand households, suppress the thieves by yourself!" Xu Hong issued such an order.

Every thousand households has enough strength to protect itself and kill the enemy.

On the other side of Xingjiazhuang, the battle is coming to an end.

Under the absolute advantage, the [-] cavalry led by Li Guifang had lost all casualties at this moment.

At this moment, they were huddled inside the Zhuangzi, and the outside was completely surrounded.

At this time, Zhou Lixing was not in a hurry, but ordered his subordinates to strengthen the defense line and tighten the encirclement step by step.

"You rebels, surrender quickly, and you will not die!"

"Those who resist in the corner will be killed without mercy!"

Holding a loudspeaker, Zhou Lixing yelled at Zhuangzi.

Hearing this, Li Guifang immediately scolded him, and some people outside called him a traitor.

"I'm an officer, who are you guys? Are you going to rebel?"

Li Guifang was struggling with his status, but the two hundred remnant soldiers under him were more concerned about their own lives at the moment.

"My lord...we are trapped to death, what should we do?"

This sentence is full of sadness and expresses the aspirations of everyone.

what to do?What can I do?
Die or surrender...there is no other choice.

I just heard Li Guifang say: "Brothers, our family is in Gyeonggi!"

Most of the families of these elite imperial guards live near the capital, and they will be held accountable once they surrender.

In a word, Li Guifang pushed back the right to choose.

All the soldiers were silent, but their minds were not completely unified.

Some people want to fight to the death, but some still want to put down their weapons and surrender. After all, although their family members are in Gyeonggi, the court may not be able to find them.

Now that zombies are rampant, the household registration management near Gyeonggi has been completely disrupted, and it is difficult for the court to find the families of the soldiers.

Looking at the densely packed Yong army, Li Guifang raised his saber and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!"

"Come on!" The other soldiers roared.

But still nearly half of the people stayed where they were, watching Li Guifang and the others rush forward, and then fell down one after another.

…………

The sky is getting brighter and the morning glow is rising.

At the beginning of a dozen miles southwest of Xingjiazhuang, a team of more than a hundred people was on their way.

These people are well-armored, and their horses are majestic. At first glance, they are first-class elites.

In front of the team, Zhao Yanxun was waving his whip and was rushing forward at the fastest speed.

Yesterday afternoon, he received a message from Zhou Lixing.

In the letter, Zhou Lixing was fully sure of his battle plan, so Zhao Yanxun agreed to his battle request.

But because of the matter in Ningtai Mansion, Zhao Yanxun couldn't get out in time.

It wasn't until Maozheng (five o'clock in the morning) that the high-level zombies in Ningtai Prefecture were eliminated, and the most critical meteorite in the city was also found.

After absorbing the meteorite, Zhao Yanxun ordered the various departments to rest in the city, and he rushed to Xingjiazhuang with Hu Dabiao and his party.

From the early morning of yesterday to now, Zhao Yanxun has not closed his eyes for 27 or [-] hours, and now the sky is bright again.

It took less than 10 minutes for a distance of more than ten miles, and Zhao Yanxun and his party arrived outside Xingjiazhuang.

At this time, in addition to the No.11 Guard led by Zhou Lixing, the Tenth Guard led by Zhou Qing also arrived.

Nearly 1 people from the two guards gathered around Xingjiazhuang, which undoubtedly seemed extremely crowded.

When they learned that Zhao Yanxun had arrived, the commanders of the two guards hurried out from the village with their thousands of households.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yanxun got on the horse and saw Zhou Lixing and others who were already waiting.

Pulling the reins and letting the horse stop a foot away from Zhou Lixing and the others, Zhao Yanxun asked, "How is the battle going?"

As the commander who participated in the battle last night, it was natural for Zhou Lixing to answer at this time.

"My lord, I beheaded 870 and six enemy soldiers last night and captured 78 of them!"

"Our army killed 91 people and seriously injured 43 people..."

Hearing these reports, Zhao Yanxun's face suddenly collapsed.

After a few moments of silence, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "Yesterday, in your letter, you said such a hype that you want to wipe out these 2000 people...is that the result?"

Not only Zhao Yanxun was dissatisfied, Zhou Lixing also felt useless, the battle last night was really poor.

And the biggest problem was the disturbance caused by the zombies, which he didn't pay attention to.

As the commander, Zhou Lixing has no excuse, and he must shoulder this responsibility.

"Your command is wrong, please punish me!" Zhou Lixing kowtowed his head to the ground.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Zhao Yanxun said in a stern tone: "For the credit, I'm afraid it will make your brain go crazy. Is the misconduct an accident or man-made?"

If it is because of grabbing the first place, which leads to an imbalance in one's mentality and state of affairs, it is naturally a man-made disaster.

Hearing this, Zhou Lixing shuddered unceasingly, this sentence made him feel terrified.

"Sir...Sir..."

At this time, Zhou Lixing was truly irresponsible, and he was ashamed to ask for punishment irresponsibly.

Infantry fighting cavalry, as long as they want to escape, it is really difficult to wipe them out when there are insufficient troops, not to mention the zombies.

Therefore, Zhao Yanxun understood Zhou Lixing's difficulties, but he had to get rid of this face.

The group of people under him have been invincible in the northwest region, and they all have a pampered heart, and they just took this opportunity to sound the alarm for them.

Immediately afterwards Zhao Yanxun asked: "Xu Hong's men are still chasing them?"

At this moment, Zhou Lixing didn't dare to answer anymore, and Zhou Qing who was on the side immediately replied: "Report to the lord, the news that Xu Hong sent back half an hour ago, Xu Hong's troops have defeated the fourth thousand households of the bandit army!"

"Xu Hong played well!" Zhao Yanxun finally looked better.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun jumped off his horse and walked towards Zhuangzi.

"Get up!" Zhao Yanxun said coldly after passing Zhou Lixing and the others.

"Bring those who surrendered, the biggest officials, I have something to ask!"

"Yes, I will do it immediately!"

Zhou Lixing left in a panic. Although he was scolded, the stone in his heart fell down.

Of course, from now on, he would never dare to be careless again.

But at this moment, Zhao Yanxun was thinking about the overall situation in his heart.

Now that he is fighting with the imperial court, the news will soon be sent back to the capital, but he still has a mother in the capital.

The concubine mother must be rescued immediately... Zhao Yanxun secretly said.

"Hu Dabiao!"

"Chen is here!"

"Immediately send a message to Su Chuyun, tell him that our army has already fought against the imperial court, and let him rescue the empress as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The so-called instant summons actually refers to the use of the telephone.

But in the past few days, in order to sneak into the capital, Su Chuyun and others dismantled the "telephone" and carried it with them, so they may not be able to get through right now.

Therefore, this depends on luck. If you can't get through today, you can only have tomorrow.
