Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 729

When the Qing Kingdom dispatched troops, the Western Kingdom Yuncheng was also on the move. The millions of armies of the two countries marched towards the Eastern Kingdom's Tianmen Pass. The well-trained armies of the two countries met at a place thirty miles away from the Tianmen Pass at the agreed time. At the same time, the vanguard sent by Yan Shengrui and Sikong Hao was still beheading the enemy's scout troops. After the two armies converged, the logistics troops camped on the spot, and the vanguard continued to advance at full speed.

"Report!"

It was about time, at Tianmen Pass in the Eastern Kingdom, Qi Liancheng and Zhou Sheng, whose injuries were almost healed, were discussing with the soldiers stationed at Tianmen Pass to send troops to Qingguo to guard against the Western Kingdom and food and grass. At this moment, a city guard Bing hurried in from the outside, because he was holding a token, and no one dared to stop him.

"It's not good, the emperor"

"bump!"

The city defenders who came to report the news were too flustered. When they came in, their feet were unsteady, and they fell to the ground. This cannot be blamed on him. The Eastern Kingdom has always been powerful, and they are the only ones who attack others. Come to beat them?But the fact is that hundreds of thousands of troops from Qingxi and Western countries have already assembled outside Tianmen Pass, and everyone will fall into temporary panic.

However, Qi Liancheng and others who didn't understand the situation frowned one after another, with unmistakable killing intent in their eyes. Zhou Sheng, who had just recovered from his injuries, sensed Qi Liancheng's killing intent, and frowned before him: "What's wrong with being so flustered? What happened?"

He wasn't there for what happened seven days ago. When he heard about it, he almost vomited blood. His Majesty is aggressive and warlike. Are those generals stupid?It's not impossible to attack Qingguo, but why use such despicable and dark means?Of course, he was more angry because the emperor was injured, and Dongguo almost lost face, so when His Majesty proposed to attack Qingguo, he didn't make any sense. It was one thing not to agree with their despicable methods. It is another matter for the generals guarding the frontiers of the country to protect the face and dignity of the Eastern country. If Prince Qing Guosheng and his wife dare to treat their emperor like this, they must bear their angry counterattack!

"Go back, go back to the general, Qing Guo and Xi Guo's hundreds of thousands of troops have already approached Tianmen Pass!"

The city guard knelt on the ground blushing, panting and replied in a panic.

"what?!"

Hearing this, the faces of all the soldiers headed by Qi Liancheng changed drastically. Some rough generals even ignored Qi Liancheng's presence and stood up with a bang. Shock and embarrassment intertwined on everyone's face. Prince Qing Guosheng and his wife They hurt their emperor and humiliated the dignity of their Eastern Kingdom. They have not fought over yet, but they joined forces with the Western Kingdom to fight over.

"The soldiers are already approaching the city, why are you reporting now?"

Zhou Sheng was also unspeakably angry. The situation they were most worried about appeared. Not to mention the missed opportunity, Qingguo even joined forces with Xiguo. With the military strength of Qingxi and Xiguo, even if it was Dongguo, they might win. There will be heavy casualties.

"All our serving troops were killed along the way. By the time we reacted, the enemy's forward troops had already arrived at the city."

The city guards didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly explained that it wasn't that they were weak, but that the enemy was too cunning and fast. God knows how confused they were when they saw the densely packed army. They couldn't believe what they saw with their own eyes.

"bump!"

The scout troops were killed again. Zhou Sheng instantly forgot the existence of Qilian City, and slammed his fist on the table. Last time they came, they killed their scout troops. Even the hundreds of people who were ambushing later were killed Beheaded to death, until now they still haven't understood their purpose, and now they are repeating the old tricks, do you look down on them?

Qi Liancheng glanced at him indifferently, the anger in his eyes was suppressed at some point, he picked up his teacup and took a sip before slowly asking: "Are you sure it's the cooperation between Qing and Xi?"

If the coalition forces of the two countries would have tens of millions of troops, right?Hundreds of thousands are far from enough, even if you exclude those who stay in the border towns and logistics, it shouldn't be the only number.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everyone has seen with their own eyes that Yan and Sikong are the ones playing the banner of their coach."

If it weren't for the coalition forces of the two countries, who is this Sikong?The commander's flag can only be used by the supreme commander who personally leads the army. Sikong is the surname of the country of Xiguo, so he must be Prince Sikonghao of Xiguohao!

"Pass down the order, the whole army is preparing for battle, and I and all the generals will arrive soon."

Waving his hand, Qi Liancheng frowned even tighter. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while. The guards kowtowed and retreated. A room of generals surrounded them instantly. One of the generals clasped his fists and said : "Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"

What about the coalition forces of the two countries?The strength of the Eastern Kingdom does not allow them to easily blaspheme.

"Do you think they will fight you alone first? They are here to attack the city!"

Glancing at him coldly, Qi Liancheng said viciously, under normal circumstances, only when the attack cannot be defeated for a long time, the opponent will call for a fight. The attacked side refuses, as long as they hang up the exemption card. Of course, the attacking side can also forcibly attack the city, but the price is usually very high. Since then, hundreds of thousands of troops from Qingxi and Western countries have come to the city. It is obvious that they are preparing to attack. They seem to be underestimated.

The general who invited the battle had no choice but to retreat, Qi Liancheng was silent for a while and then asked: "Chen Aiqing, have you delivered the letter I asked you to send to Beiman?"

As early as seven days ago, he had guessed that the Qing and Western countries would unite, and he sent a letter to Beiman early, and asked the Northern Man's Khan to send troops to hold back Xiguo. , In this way, the unification of the world is just around the corner!

"When His Majesty gives orders, the last general will be sent to the northern barbarians."

General Chen bowed and said respectfully, although they also looked down on the northern barbarians, they were indeed obedient dogs, which was undeniable.

"That's good, Zhou Aiqing, it's up to you next."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Qilian City stopped talking. Tianmen Pass is the first and strongest barrier of the Eastern Kingdom. He doesn't think that the coalition forces of the Qing and Western countries can break through them. , it was their turn to attack.

"General Chen Xiao, you two quickly prepare your equipment for battle, and the rest of you will go to the tower to have a look."

Zhou Sheng, who had almost calmed down, nodded and quickly made arrangements, his black sword eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and his fists were still tightly clenched where others could not see.

"Yes"

The two generals who were named left with fists in their hands, Qi Liancheng also stood up, Zhou Sheng was taken aback, hurriedly went around and bowed in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, please stay here and wait." .”

Although he was a brave and skilled general before becoming emperor, but now he is the emperor after all, and? ?Taking a glance at the wound on his hand that was still bandaged, in case something happened to him, none of them could bear the responsibility.

"It's okay, I also want to see how powerful the coalition forces of the two countries are!"

Not accepting his kindness, Qi Liancheng directly bypassed him and walked out. Zhou Sheng struggled a little and had to lead others to catch up.

The city wall of Tianmen in the Eastern Kingdom is much higher and stronger than ordinary city walls. On the city wall, tens of thousands of people draw their bows and strings. They only need to wait for an order to shoot ten thousand arrows. The city is tens of feet away from the city gate. The armies of the two countries assembled quickly and orderly. Looking along the blue sky and white clouds, the iron-clad lions that could not be seen were lined up neatly, majestic and domineering. The two sides were embroidered with Yan and Sikong. In the rear, Yan Chengrui, Ling Jingxuan, Sikong Xie and his wife, and Sikong Hao were all wearing armor and sitting on tall horses in a mighty manner. They were obviously located under the city and should be part of a dwarf, but their aura gave people the impression that the Ling family was on top of the clouds. Look down on the sense of disobedience of all living beings!That kind of natural aura seemed to be imprinted in their bones, emanating from the inside out. The fierce eyes of the five passed through tens of thousands of people and directly hit the tower of Tianmenguan. The general who led the soldiers to defend the city trembled for no reason .

"How long will it take for the soldiers to assemble?"

The reason for the delay in moving was entirely because their hundreds of thousands of troops had not yet assembled. Although every inch of Tianmen Pass had been densely packed in front, the troops behind were still far away.

"At least half an hour!"

Yan Shengrui replied without thinking, their forward and left and right wing troops have a total of 35 troops, while Sikong Hao's forward troops are 30, and the two armies add up to more than 60 people. It will take a lot of time to assemble all of them. .

"Princess, we are ready!"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Yi came alone on horseback. Not only the Thunder team, but also their remaining 2000 soldiers had to cooperate with them in attacking the city. The first ones to prepare are the personal soldiers and the Thunder team.

"Well, listen to my orders and be ready to attack the city at any time!"

Ling Jingxuan swept away his usual elegance and gentleness, his handsome face was covered with naked coldness, Yan Yi clasped his fists respectfully: "Yes."

Then they turned their horses around and went to the front again. They were only responsible for attacking the city and not participating in the battle. This was their only contribution to this battle. Of course, the premise was that they would win as expected.

"Has Prince Hao seen enough?"

After the two armies met, because they were in a hurry, they didn't communicate much, and Sikong Hao's eyes were on him from time to time. Ling Jingxuan is not a fool, how could he not feel it?He knew that they were meeting for the first time, and that Sikong Tatar had entrusted him with such an important battle. He must have great doubts and doubts about him in his heart. At other times, he would not mind letting him go Know him, but right now, he doesn't like the way he looks at him with suspicion.

"No, but I still don't want to watch it."

While speaking, Sikong Hao pointedly glanced at Yan Shengrui, who was more unhappy than the person involved. He didn't doubt Ling Jingxuan's ability, but he just couldn't figure out why Brother Dahuang, Brother Yang, and even Li Shang spoke so highly of him , I just want to confirm it with my own eyes. As for the matter of the alliance between the two armies, since he has promised the Emperor Brothers to cooperate fully, there is absolutely no reason to go back on his word or play any tricks behind the scenes.

"Hao!"

Realizing that Yan Chengrui and Ling Jingxuan were displeased by his indecency, Sikong Tuan let out a deep cry, Qingguo was different from them, they had some reservations about this battle, but Qingguo gave all the power of the whole country. If they fail miserably here, they will be the ones attacked.

Seeing this, Sikong Hao shrugged his shoulders, the indecency disappeared quickly, his blue eyes were lingering with a fierce cold light, approaching the gate of heaven in front of him, Yan Chengrui and Ling Jingxuan no longer struggled with that little bit of discomfort, both of them concentrated on preparing, war, One touch!
