Clang, clang, clang ~!
On the mountain path, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong fought the three Grandmasters from the Cui and Zheng families together. The sound of weapons clashing echoed throughout the valley!
Although in terms of overall strength, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were weaker than Wang Tieshou, Chu Xiaofeng, and Hua Xiajian, in the previous battle with Duan Zhixuan, each of them had expended a lot of their Qi and suffered some injuries. Although those injuries were not fatal, they were unable to maintain their peak condition.
It was because of these reasons that Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong could fight the three Grandmasters without losing!
On the other side, with the addition of the 5,000 elites brought by Cheng Yaojin, the Shadow Guards of the Cui and Zheng families were gradually losing. The scales of victory were slowly tilting towards the imperial court!
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually turning dark.
Of the three Grandmasters from the Cui and Zheng families, one was dead and two were injured. Chu Xiaofeng was dead, and only Wang Tieshou and Hua Xiajian were left struggling to hold on. The two of them could not hold on for much longer!
On the other hand, less than 10,000 of the Cui family's 50,000 Shadow Guards were left. All of them were injured, and the battle was coming to an end!
Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie were watching from the side. They were anxious, but there was nothing they could do!
"Huaijie, our … our Shadow Guards can't hold on for much longer. Why don't … Why don't we run!"
Cui Shen said with a pale face.
He was afraid of death. He had not lived long enough!
Gulp ~!
Zheng Huaijie swallowed and hesitated. "Okay … Okay! Let's run now and hide in the forest on both sides of the mountain path. Even if they find out that we have escaped, it won't be easy for them to find us! "
After that, the two young masters of the aristocratic families led a few guards and began to sneak toward the side of the mountain.
Dong, dong, dong ~!
Just then, the sound of horses galloping came from outside the mountain path. A moment later, the clan people saw a group of black-armored knights galloping toward them!
"Shubao, Zhijie! Jinda is here to help! "
Niu Jinda urged the warhorse beneath him to gallop over at a high speed!
"Black Armored Troops! Black Armored Troops again! The Cui and Zheng families are done for! "
When Wang Tieshou saw Lai Jun clearly, he suddenly felt a wave of despair and said with a painful expression.
At this time, he was truly in despair. He even wanted to give up resisting!
"Quick! Run! Another group of Black Armored Troops is here! "
Cui Shen heard the commotion at the entrance of the mountain path. When he took a closer look, he was scared out of his wits. He hurriedly urged Zheng Huaijie and the guards around him to speed up!
"Jinda! Don't worry about us for now. Those two should be the young masters of the Cui Family and the Zheng Family. Capture them! Don't let them escape! "
Qinqiong had already noticed Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie who were surrounded by a group of people trying to escape. He hurriedly said to Niu Jinda who was running over.
"Good! I'll go and capture those two kids right now! "
Niu Jinda looked in the direction Qin Qiong was pointing at, and then he shouted and urged his warhorse to gallop towards Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie!
"Young master! Hurry up and leave! Someone was chasing after them! I'll help you block them for a while! "
One of the guards beside Cui Shen saw Niu Jinda galloping over and said. Then he turned around with a solemn expression and went to meet the enemy with his weapon!
"Go! Go! All of you, go and block that person! The Cui Family will help you take care of your family!
Cui Shen panicked and hurriedly shouted at the rest of the guards beside him.
"Yes! Young master! "
The guards looked at each other, and a trace of despair flashed in their eyes. They cupped their hands and turned to rush out!
"Hey! You think you can stop me with just the few of you? "
Niu Jinda snorted coldly and did not slow down at all. He continued to gallop towards these few soldiers. These few soldiers did not see Niu Jinda move, but their weapons were already sent flying by the lance in Niu Jinda's hand! And they were also pushed back by this huge force!
Niu Jinda did not kill them. Instead, he went straight for Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie who were running up the hill. In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up with them!
He jumped down from his horse and knocked the two unconscious without any effort. Cui Shen's guards wanted to go forward to rescue them, but they were surrounded by the prefecture soldiers who had rushed over!
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong respectively found a flaw in Wang Tieshou and Hua Xiajian's defense and killed them with a single blow. Two Grandmaster level consecrators of the aristocratic families fell unwillingly just like that!
The reinforcements of the Cui Family and Zheng Family who had not fallen saw that their young masters had been captured and that their top fighters had died. Instantly, they lost the motivation to continue fighting and put down their weapons, kneeling on the ground and surrendering!
Seeing this, Qin Qiong decisively gave the order to quickly clean up the battlefield and then regroup with the main force!
In this battle, the Cui Family and Zheng Family's Consecrators were completely wiped out. Only 3,000 of the 50,000 secret guards were left, and they surrendered in the end. As for the imperial court, the Black Armored Army suffered heavy losses. More than 500 war horses were lost, 512 soldiers were killed, and General Duan Zhixuan was severely injured. Of the 40,000 prefecture soldiers, 3,568 were killed, and 5,032 were severely injured. All in all, it was a heavy loss!
If Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had not arrived in time, the losses would have been even worse, or even completely wiped out!
…
"Zhixuan, you are recovering from your injuries. The military situation is urgent. You made the right choice. The Black Armored Army suffered heavy losses mainly because we underestimated the hidden power of these aristocratic families!"
After returning to the central tent in the south of Guancheng County, Qin Qiong reported the situation to Li Jing. Duan Zhixuan bowed to Li Jing and asked for forgiveness. Li Jing shook his head and comforted him gently.
Three grandmasters, hundreds of Qi Transformation Realm martial artists, and thousands of fearless men of sacrifice. With such a lineup, perhaps only the Black Armored Army led by Duan Zhixuan had the ability to fight against them. Although the Black Armored Army suffered heavy losses in the end, Li Jing understood that it was not easy for them to fight to this extent with the military strength at that time!
In the end, they had underestimated the strength and foundation of these millennium-old aristocratic families!
"Thank you, General Manager, for your mercy!"
Duan Zhixuan saluted and then turned to leave with a sad face.
In this battle, he won, but he also lost!
"General Manager, the identity of these two boys has been verified. They are the eldest grandson of the Cui Family in Boling, Cui Shen, and the eldest grandson of the Zheng Family in Xingyang, Zheng Huaijie. How should we deal with them?"
Niu Jinda pointed at Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie on the ground and asked Li Jing.
Li Jing thought for a moment and replied, "Take them down and guard them well. When the time comes, bring them back to Chang 'an and hand them over to His Majesty!"
"Mm! Okay! "
Niu Jinda heard and nodded.
Qinqiong asked, "General Manager, when are we attacking the city?"
When Li Jing heard this, he could not help but frown. He said in a deep voice, "Although theoretically, our victory is already decided, and the Cui Family probably knows this, they still want to resist stubbornly and even want to drag the entire city's people to be buried with them. Their thoughts can be said to be vicious!
If we rashly attack the city, they will probably let the newly recruited young men and even some old and weak women and children go up to the city tower to defend the city. In this way, if we attack by force, countless innocent people will be injured. Once the battle ends, Zhengzhou will definitely be transferred to the people's livelihood, and it will not recover for ten years!
Therefore, the matter of attacking the city needs to be considered at length. I also have to report this to His Majesty! Let the soldiers rest for a night. Anyway, the rebel army in the city will not be able to escape for a while! "
Qinqiong frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "General Manager's words make sense. Then let's rest for a night!"
…
Li Jing's prediction was right. Cui Junchuo had the intention of dragging the entire city to be buried with him!
"Wen Ji, Shuwu, you don't have to have any more hope! Since Li Jing is here, the reinforcements brought by Cui Shen and Huai Jie must have all been killed. They can't possibly defeat Li Jing's scheme! "
In the main hall of the Provincial Governor's Mansion.
Everyone's face was gloomy. The atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive, so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
Cui Junchuo shakily stood up and let out a long sigh.
"No! I don't believe that my Huai Jie will die just like that! "
Zheng Shuwu shook his head with a pained expression.
Cui Junchuo sighed and ignored him.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Shuwu suddenly stood up and walked quickly to Cui Junchuo's side. He grabbed his collar and said crazily, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If you, Cui Junchuo, had not charmed me with your words back then, how would the Zheng Family have come to this point today? "
Cui Junchuo's body did not dare to move. Being pulled by Zheng Shuwu like this, he immediately had some difficulty breathing. He quickly shouted at Pan Zhenyue beside him, "Quick! Zheng Shuwu is crazy! Quickly capture him! Quick! What are you still standing there for? "
Pan Zhenyue was originally hesitant, but seeing that Cui Junchuo was almost out of breath, he quickly waved his hand and ordered, "Men! Capture Old Grandfather Zheng! "
"Yes!"
"Cui Junchuo, you dare … you dare to capture me?"
Zheng Shuwu was quickly captured by the guards. He looked at Cui Junchuo in disbelief and asked.
"Hmph! Why wouldn't I dare? Quick, take him away! "
Cui Junchuo said angrily.
Now that the Cui and Zheng Family's reinforcements had been annihilated by Li Jing's men, he no longer needed to rely on the Zheng Family, so he naturally did not need to spoil Zheng Shuwu anymore!
Because the entire army in Guancheng County was his Cui Family's people!
"Cui Junchuo, you're ungrateful, you'll die a horrible death!"
Cui Junchuo was quickly taken away, leaving behind a wave of vicious curses. Cui Wenji just watched and did not say a word from the beginning to the end because he could see the situation clearly!
"Zhenyue, if Li Jing attacks the city later, let the new soldiers go up to defend the city. After the new soldiers are all dead, let the people in the city to defend the city! Even if the Cui Family cannot win, I will make Li Jing lose a few teeth in Guancheng County! I will let the entire Guancheng County be buried with the Cui Family! "
After a moment of silence, Cui Junchuo looked at Pan Zhenyue and said word by word fiercely.
After everyone in the hall heard this, they could not help but feel a chill in their hearts!
