The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

It's rainy in the south, and tonight it's rainy again.

The raindrops hit the armor of many prodigal soldiers, slid down their bodies, and were trampled by heavy horse hooves... Water splashed everywhere where there was water on the road, but it could not slow down the galloping speed of the prodigal army at all.

Because time was tight, even in the face of all kinds of bad weather, Chu Tianxiao did not issue an order to stop the march. Instead, he kept urging the prodigal army to speed up, and speed up again!

This is a crazy surprise attack!

The 3,000 prodigal troops almost stayed up without eating or drinking, and ran day and night. Finally, miraculously, they covered the long distance between the two big cities and rushed straight to the foot of Qianxia City!

At this moment, they were quite tired, but equally excited!

Because Qingxia City is already close at hand!

As long as this city is captured, they can light fires to keep warm, drink wine, eat meat, and have a good sleep!

In fact, not only ordinary soldiers had this idea, but even Chu Tianxiao had it!

"It's finally here..."

Chu Tianxiao looked at the fortified city in front of him. Even though he was as determined as he was, he felt quite relieved at this moment - you must know that their battle was completely in a race against time - with this fortified city, if If you can't rush here to carry out your plan before things are exposed, then what awaits you and the prodigal army... is probably the result of being surrounded from all sides and beating the dog behind closed doors!

So now, looking at the city wall battered by raindrops and the sparse and chaotic defenders above, Chu Tianxiao knew that he had caught up! After taking a long breath, he turned to look at Feng Luo'er.

"Is everything ready?"

Knowing that the prodigal army had become exhausted at this moment, Chu Tianxiao had no intention of doing more testing and just planned to use his strategy.

"Well, young master! That Zhao Hao is now unconscious. Under our inducement, he will definitely 'perform' as we thought!"

"very good."

Chu Tianxiao nodded slightly, and then immediately shouted towards the city: "Fenwei General Zhao Hao has been ordered to come to Qingxia's aid! Please come forward and talk to Governor Chen!"

After saying this, there was a commotion in the city! Every soldier who defended the city tried his best to look at the army below, and saw that they were indeed wearing Zhao army's armor and carrying the banner of Zhao army. Suddenly, their hearts were relieved - you need to know that Zhao army is now fighting on all sides, and the manpower It was already tight. Even the city guarding the border didn't have many soldiers. What's more, there was Liyang City blocking their way to Qixia City? This resulted in that although the walls of this strong city were thick, they were guarded by only 12,000 defenders. What's even worse is that due to the tight fighting on the front lines a few days ago, Emperor Zhao also transferred some troops from cities like Qianxia City... Therefore, there are only 8,000 soldiers in the city now, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. , there are only a thousand people, which can barely be regarded as the army of Zhao Bing and others.

With such strength, when faced with the elite city troops who could be seen at a glance, even though the opponent only had 3,000 people, these soldiers felt sad, but now they heard that they were here for reinforcements... Suddenly, all the defenders were stunned. Relieved.

Not long after, a man with a hooked nose and armor came forward. He looked down and snorted: "That's ridiculous! If Zhao Hao isn't guarding Liyang City, what is he doing here? I see what's going on under the city." Everyone is so cool, I’m afraid there’s a scam!”

This person is none other than the general of Zhao State, Chen Du, who has a grudge against Zhao Hao! He made a mistake back then and was demoted here, but because he has a sister who is a beauty in the palace, as a relative of the emperor, he is not too miserable, and even in this Qingxia City, he is quite a bit. The refreshing feeling of 'the sky is high and the emperor is far away'...

This also made him cherish what was in front of him even more, so he was very cautious about defending the city. Therefore, when he heard that the "reinforcements" were coming, Chen Du not only did not relax, but became more vigilant.

As soon as these words came out, everyone around Chen Du was stunned and started talking about it.

"It's a scam? It's impossible, isn't it? Isn't there Liyang City ahead? We didn't receive any battle report of the fall of Liyang City..."

Hearing this, Chen Du smiled coldly: "The battlefield is ever-changing and anything can happen! What do you know!"

He looked at the city and said coldly: "People below the city, you said Zhao Hao came to help, but what about the others? Why is it you, a stranger, who is calling?"

When Chu Tianxiao heard this, he immediately said: "General, don't be offended. Because General Zhao was seriously injured in a bloody battle with the enemy general before, his actions have not changed, so he had to let the younger one do it for him... As for you talking about strangers, that's natural. Yes, because our army was personally trained by my general a few years ago, and I have never met the general, so how can you be familiar with it? "

"And just a few days ago, we received a battle report saying that the Zhou soldiers might have discovered a trail that could lead directly to the vicinity of Qianxia City! General Shengxu knew that there were not many defenders in Qianxia City, so he was afraid of making a mistake and being taken advantage of by the enemy. Come in and destroy our beautiful Zhao Kingdom! This is why we sent our general to come to our rescue! We have been running for several days, but we have not made any progress, and we are exhausted. I hope that at this critical moment, the general will put aside his past grievances and work together to fight together. Foreign enemy!"

These words were well-founded. For a time, Chen Du’s close friends believed him, and they all said to Chen Du in a hurry: "General! This should be real reinforcements! If nothing else, your Majesty will mobilize Who can know about the emptiness of this city and the emptiness of the country except our own people?"

Hearing this, Chen Du also believed it, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was better to be cautious. As soon as he thought about it, he snorted loudly: "Huh, excuse! It's useless for you to talk so wildly! Since you say it's Zhao Hao If you want help, let Zhao Hao come out, otherwise, why would I trust you?"

As if he felt that he had grasped the key, Chen Du's voice became colder as his doubts grew stronger. Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiao seemed to be "helpless" and could only say "Okay, then General, wait a moment", and then he withdrew first, and then made a gesture, and someone behind him pushed the confused Zhao Hao up.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Du's eyes suddenly narrowed - wasn't the person under the city Zhao Hao?

It is said that the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your mortal enemy! And everyone knows that Chen Du and Zhao Hao have a deep grudge, so he is very familiar with this person. At the moment, he took a closer look with the surrounding firelight, and it was that person no matter how he looked at it!

The details are completely consistent!

"Could it be... I'm just overthinking?" Chen Du couldn't help but have this thought, but he still remained cautious, calmed down, and shouted: "Zhao Hao, aren't you usually very impressive? Do you have anything to say when you meet an old friend?"

Seemingly stimulated by the 'enemy's voice', Zhao Hao seemed to want to jump out of the cart, but in the end he was powerless, so he had to lean on the cart and pointed at it and cursed: "Bah! Turtle grandson Chen Du! Are you really here? Just right! You fled in the face of the battle that year, do you dare to come out today and fight with me for three hundred rounds? Today! Today I must kill you!"

This string of curses reached Chen Du's ears, and he was immediately startled: "It's really that reckless man!"

"General! Stop cursing, be careful that the wound will burst again!" Just at this time, Chu Tianxiao hurriedly directed people to push Zhao Hao back in a "flustered" manner.

Seeing this, Chen Du finally believed it. Although he wished Zhao Hao was dead, if he was seriously injured or even died because of "help coming but not allowed to enter" under his own city... Chen Du would be finished!

Thinking of this, Chen Du gritted his teeth and looked at the people around him. He saw that they nodded and agreed, asking Chen Du to open the door quickly - they were all clans and had family backgrounds. If Zhou soldiers really attacked, they would be the first to bear the brunt! Therefore, if 3,000 elite soldiers could enter the city to assist at this time, it would undoubtedly be a reassurance!

Only a fool would not want it!

"General, open the city gate!"

Seeing the crowd's sentiment and the "fact" like this, Chen Du finally nodded and raised his hand and shouted.

"Come on, lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome the reinforcements into the city!"

...

...

When the drawbridge of the Xiaxia City was completely lowered, the outcome of this surprise attack was actually determined.

What's even more interesting is that in order to show that he "forgot old grudges and was dedicated to the country", Chen Du also led a group of civil servants out of the city gate to greet them.

However, what awaited them was not tears of gratitude and courtesy, but... cold killing intent!

Chu Tianxiao was not polite at all. He raised his hand, and the three thousand defeated soldiers roared, and then rushed into the city of Qianxia!

That's right, they rushed in! Seeing the drawbridge fall and the city gate open, they didn't even play the play anymore, and rushed in all at once!

This scene stunned the people who came out of the city to greet them, but before they could react, they were all tied to the ground and stabbed with swords and axes!
