Chapter 582 Leaving the City [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
"King Ding Gou." Wu Mengshan changed his sincerity yesterday, with a little mockery in his eyes, "I advise you to accept it. The current conditions must be the most relaxed conditions proposed by Jiuyang. Otherwise, if we continue to fight, we may not know what the situation will be."
Just after Princess Yushi finished talking to him yesterday, he went to see Water Priest Xiao Jue alone, and only then did he learn what Huanshen Peak was preparing to do with the Canglong Tribe.
In fact, what Princess Yushi said about not needing their participation was a lie.
The Illusion God Peak can release blood rain and mobilize the skeleton soldiers, and the Canglong Tribe can provide corpses, and that's all.
Their foundation is not as strong as that of the Yin Kingdom. The defeat at Tianxia Pass almost wiped out all the elite troops of the Canglong Tribe. The remaining troops and some newly recruited soldiers still need time to gain experience.
If it was just this lineup, the blood rain would at most make Yin's army lose its combat effectiveness, but it would not be enough to expand the results of the battle. They needed a force that could intercept and kill Yin's army from the periphery.
The seven-army coalition outside Frost North City was naturally the best choice.
It was impossible for them to defeat Jiuzhou Yin Kingdom with the power of Canglong alone.
Princess Yu Shi came to offer choices and intimidate the seven delegations in order to arouse their curiosity so that they would go to the Phantom God Peak to inquire.
Wu Mengshan got an answer from Xiao Jue, the Seven Killing Blood Rain Formation!
This is a formation that is more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Cloud Formation and the Strong Wind Soul-Destroying Formation, but its range is limited and the formation cannot be moved. Once the Yin army escapes, an army is needed to chase and kill them.
This army can be without fighting power or fighting spirit, but it must be large enough, run fast enough, and be efficient enough in snatching spoils...
Wu Mengshan wanted to raise his hand and shout immediately, isn’t this our seven-army coalition?
However, Xiao Jue did not invite the seven tribes to participate. Instead, after Wu Mengshan returned and quickly reported to the Khans of each tribe, each tribe issued a request to fight to Huanshen Peak.
No one can take advantage of the favorable situation and reap the benefits faster than them.
That's why Wu Mengshan is so tough at the negotiating table now.
Jiang Zhenye was about to respond strongly when suddenly a guard from downstairs came up quickly, leaned close to his ear and said something.
King Ding Gou's face changed immediately.
"Jiuyang has gone back on its word and repeatedly broken the promises made to both sides." He stood up suddenly and pointed at the Jiuyang delegation and said, "You are courting your own destruction by doing this!"
“Haha.” Wu Mengshan sneered and shook his head. “King Dinggou, if Yin Kingdom could destroy us, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me. Now Yin Kingdom’s elite troops are all stationed outside Tianxia Pass. After this battle, they can’t go back. Then you will know how lenient the conditions I’m proposing are.”
Bang!
Jiang Zhenye slammed the table with his palm, shattering it in front of him. His martial arts skills burst out, which was really terrifying.
But the elder Jiuyang on the opposite side was not afraid at all. Wu Mengshan looked at him mockingly, "In another half an hour, the seven coalition forces will begin to attack Shuangbei City. Qi Kunlun and Tang Wei should be in danger by now. If King Dinggou wants to save himself, he has to abandon the city quickly. If you want to vent your anger, you can naturally capture and kill all of us envoys. However, if you kill the envoys and waste time, your life may not be saved. I, the men of Jiuyang, want to get your head to make a contribution."
Jiang Zhenye glared around and waved his sleeves.
"How can my great country be equal to you barbarians? If we meet on the battlefield someday, I will kill you!"
……
"Your Majesty!"
Jiang Zhenye led the crowd downstairs, and the garrison general Jiang Lin was already waiting downstairs. Now Shuangbei City has not yet been attacked, but many people have seen the bloody rain in the east of the city. The Yin army was defeated, and it is unknown how many can escape.
Once the seven coalition forces over there are free, the remaining defenders in Frost North City may not be able to hold out for long.
Especially since the people from the Illusion God Peak are still here, if there is another bloody rain, the whole city will be powerless to resist.
"How many cavalry are there in the city?" Jiang Zhenye asked quickly.
"More than two thousand riders." Jiang Lin replied.
"Open the city gates." Jiang Zhenye gave the order directly, "Let the people in the city escape from the east gate and flee to Tianxia Pass, and the defenders rush to Tianxia Pass from the west gate. I will lead the cavalry formation, and the infantry formation will cover the rear."
"But..." Jiang Lin was surprised when he heard this, "The battle on the eastern battlefield is going on fiercely..."
He had been stationed in Frost North City for several years and was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. If this was the case, the defenders in the west would most likely be able to escape to Tianxia Pass, but the people escaping from the east gate would most likely encounter the seven allied forces that were surrounding them.
"Do you have any objections?" Jiang Zhenye stared at him. "The garrison needs to be reorganized before they can leave. If they are mixed with the civilians, then neither the soldiers nor the civilians can escape. We must make a choice."
Jiang Lin seemed to want to say something else, but Jiang Zhenye added, "As a member of the royal family, you must know how to protect yourself. Only when the blood of the Divine King runs dry will the country truly perish."
He has no military power at hand now and is only an envoy in Frost North City. In theory, he does not have the power to command the army.
But there was no one in the city with a higher military status than him, especially the garrison general Jiang Lin, who was also a member of the royal family. Jiang Zhenye's current status was the only elder in the royal family, so he dared not disobey. He was about to turn around to execute the order when he suddenly heard a voice, "Wait a minute!"
Jiang Lin looked up and saw people running around in panic on both sides of the road. Only a young man in brocade clothes was coming against the flow, leading four demons and ghosts, and standing in the middle of the street towards Jiang Zhenye.
"Liang Xianguan?" He recognized the person. It was Liang Yue, who was in charge of protecting the delegation.
"Jiuyang has started a war again. The city is in great danger. I don't need Liang Xianguan to protect my safety anymore." Jiang Zhenye said, "You should leave quickly too."
"I know the situation outside the city. My safety is not important, and neither is the prince's safety." Liang Yue said solemnly, "Jiang Zhenshou, what you need to do now is to lead the cavalry to rush to the east to support the army formation and cover the retreat of the army. The infantry will protect the people in the city and retreat all the way to Tianxia Pass."
"I..." Jiang Lin was not a fool. He knew that Liang Yue's strategy was the most dangerous one for him.
Because these 2,000-plus cavalrymen might be able to play a role in covering the retreat of the main army, but there would inevitably be heavy casualties.
If I listen to Jiang Zhenye, and leave the army and civilians here, the casualties might be dozens of times, but it has nothing to do with me, and I will definitely be able to reach Tianxia Pass safely.
He was very clear about the consequences of both paths.
After a slight hesitation, he looked at Jiang Zhenye and said, "Your Majesty, I still think it is more important to rush to support the army!"
"Liang Xianguan!" Jiang Zhenye ignored him and looked at Liang Yue and said, "It's not your turn to make decisions here!"
"It seems that King Ding Gou has no military power either?" Liang Yue looked directly into the other's eyes. "You are obviously a master, why are you still worried about your own safety? Are you so anxious to escape because you are afraid that the Yang people will target you? In fact, you can rest assured that the current Yin Kingdom will not have any problems without you."
"The Yang people are coming with great force. What's your intention in stopping them?" Jiang Zhenye glared at them.
"Why are you so eager to lead your troops to flee when the battle is still undecided?" Liang Yue said loudly, "You let the people leave the city from the east gate, obviously because you want the slow-moving people to block the pursuit of the Yang army for you, so that you can escape safely."
"I am considering the overall situation!" Jiang Zhenye said heavily.
"Your overall goal is to sacrifice ordinary people to block your pursuers? Just like more than ten years ago, in order to break into the city first and gain merit, you sacrificed 30,000 soldiers in the rear team?" Liang Yue's eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Don't talk nonsense here!" When talking about the past, Jiang Zhenye's arrogance rose suddenly, and the power of a martial arts grandmaster was unfolded, like a mountain suddenly rising from the ground!
Before Liang Yue could do anything, the four disciples behind him suddenly released a demonic aura, and the raging arrogance instantly covered Jiang Zhenye!
It is like Mount Tai suddenly standing in front of you, and the four mountains suddenly standing behind you.
There was a sudden look of panic in Jiang Zhenye's eyes.
"You follow Jiang Zhenshou and lead the troops to support the army!" Liang Yue waved his hand and asked the four disciples to take Jiang Lin to order support.
The Water Monkey King and the other four demons hesitated for a moment, but then they changed their minds and thought that even if the master was just a clone, it should be easy for him to kill this mere grandmaster.
So they carried Jiang Lin together and turned into a black wind to go to the top of the city to mobilize troops. Jiang Lin did not struggle at all, because he had made a decision. With the help of these four great monsters, he was more confident that he could complete his mission.
Jiang Zhenye looked at Liang Yue in front of him and said slowly: "You can mobilize the cavalry as you like. Then Liang Xianguan doesn't need to stop me from leaving, right? As an envoy of Yin State, I represent the dignity of the country and cannot fall into Jiuyang's hands."
He didn't want to fight to the death with Liang Yue in the first place. Not to mention the several vicious disciples behind him, there were even more vicious masters in the Xuanmen!
Now that I have lost my power, I can no longer control him at will.
The reason why he took the few cavalrymen in the city was to protect his own safety. Naturally, he would not put himself in danger again because of a fight.
Jiang Zhenye is no longer the young general who could defend the emperor in order to achieve success. Now he is a prince of the dynasty and is extremely noble.
He couldn't die here.
At the same time, he also felt that two thousand cavalrymen could not resolve the danger on the battlefield over there, so he wanted them to escort him.
As for the people in the city, as long as they can do their best to protect the blood of their noble God King, their death will not be in vain. If they can help me stop the Yang army for a while, it can be considered that they died for a good reason.
Now that Liang Yue had sent Jiang Lin away, he wanted to escape alone. After all, as a great master, as long as he ran fast enough, it would be difficult for the martingale to catch up.
but……
Liang Yue didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go.
"Indeed." Liang Yue nodded and said word by word: "Please let King Ding Gou die with Shuangbei City."
