Chapter 951: Breakthrough
A crescent moon appeared and disappeared in the air, and suddenly disappeared into the thick clouds. The entire earth fell into darkness, and suddenly appeared in the hollow between two thick clouds, spreading the cold light throughout the world. Only at this time can one see a hillside surrounded by grass where the buds had just been drawn out, and the black soldiers were sitting silently on the ground. They held the reins in one hand and held their weapons in the other hand.
This is the most elite royal soldier in Da Chu, the Huofeng Army.
The main force of the eastern border army and the royal guards in the Chu army, who had already been trapped in many sieges, found a glimmer of life in despair. For some reason, half a month ago, the scouts explored the Qi army that surrounded them, and actually drew a lot of troops from the outermost periphery, but they didn't know where they were heading.
Since they were trapped in Luzhou, they had cut off their ties with the outside world. The internal security system of Qi State had been severely damaged and was basically paralyzed. In the battlefield, outside the battlefield, ghosts even appeared together, and together with the scouts of the Qi army, they kept killing the Chu domestic security guards who were trying to get in touch with the outside world.
Without the news from outside, the surrounded Chu army became deaf and blind, and had no idea about the situation outside. Although they found out that the Qi army had abnormal movements outside, they could not determine the other party's purpose, whether they were luring them to break through, thus causing them to fall into another trap. Because of this kind of worry, the besieged Chu army delayed for another half month.
In the end, they made a decision to break through. Because if they dragged on, the food and grass would be completely cut off and they would not have any chance to turn around.
The breakthrough of the Chu army and the general attack launched by the Qi army almost began at the same time.
This was originally a coincidence, but for Min Ruoying and Luo Liang, who had already had a slight gaze, they were almost the last straw that crushed them. They had already begun to question themselves and almost believed that they had fallen into the trap of Qi Jun again.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. In order to open the way for Min Ruoying, the 100,000 eastern border troops rushed towards the Qi army one after another, exchanged their lives for life, smashed the Qi army's offensive, and had their own body filled the outer trenches, chasing the chest walls and fences that surrounded them, and used blood to open a bloody road for the Fire Phoenix Army.
Min Ruoying rushed out of this bloody road with his 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army, but at the cost of half of the eastern border troops were killed and injured on the road of charge, while the other half was surrounded by the Qi army in order to cut off the rear for him.
Cao Yun, the commander of the Qi army, no longer hopes to keep King Min Ruoying of Chu. Because the troops he has no longer had enough force to eat the Fire Phoenix Army, but he still has the strength to keep the remaining eastern border troops.
Several war horses were running wildly, but the soldiers sitting on the ground did not move at all. Since the outer checkpoint did not issue any alarm, the knights on the running war horse must be their own people, so there is no need to panic.
The Fire Phoenix Army is the soul of the Chu Dynasty, so it is not a false reputation. These soldiers sitting on the ground just raised their heads and looked at the knights under the moonlight.
Except for the first one, the rest of those people were wearing newspapers from the eastern border army. At this moment, they were disheveled and covered in blood.
Several war horses did not stop and rushed straight to the hill along the passage between the soldiers. It was not until dozens of steps away from a small tent above the hill that soldiers lined up quietly among the tents.
"The person who comes dismounts and signs up." An officer said in a deep voice.
Several war horses stopped at the same time, and the knights turned over and dismounted. When the officer saw the leader, his pupils shrank and bent down deeply: "Master Fu!"
Those who can be called masters are naturally master-level figures, but there is only one master with the surname Fu, that is Fu Baoshi of Wanjian Sect.
At this moment, he no longer had his usual elegance and calmness, and there was a deep scar on his shoulders. His body was covered with blood.
"Your Majesty is inside?" He raised his ear and looked at the small tent.
"Yes, Master, Your Majesty is discussing military aircraft with General Luo." The officer whispered.
Fu Baoshi snorted coldly: "Luo Liang, hehe, hehe!" He took a big step and walked in.
In the tent, Min Ruoying sat cross-legged on a blanket, while Luo Liang sat directly on a saddle, and in front of them, a man in a cloth dress was kneeling.
"Your Majesty, General An originally ordered me to sneak into Luzhou to deliver a letter to Your Majesty, but he didn't expect that Your Majesty had already broken out of the siege." The man kneeling down on his head said happily. He took out a secret letter stained with sweat from his arms: "This is a memorial from General An to Your Majesty."
After rushing out of the numerous encirclements, Min Ruoying finally knew where the mobilized Qi troops went.
Now, there are two Chu troops who are struggling hard to break through the siege. One is An Ruhai. At this moment, he is gathering hundreds of thousands of Qi mobs and rushing to Chang'an, the capital of Qi. Most of the Qi soldiers transferred were heading for An Ruhai. The other is the northwest of Qi. After Wu Teng, the governor of Xinning County, captured Lingchuan County with the help of the Ming army, he also rushed to the hinterland of Qi regardless of the situation. He also attracted some Qi troops.
It was the desperate actions of these two Chu troops that forced the Qi army, which surrounded the main force of the Chu army, to divide its troops to quell the rebellion, and the Qi army's warehouse promoted the attack, giving the Chu army finally a chance to break through the siege.
It can be said that if these Qi troops were not transferred, Cao Yun had to command his troops and steadily defend the defense line, which would have been enough to kill the main force of the Chu army and capture Min Ruoxi alive.
Of course, there is another Chu army that has been destroyed, that is, the 10,000 Chu cavalry led by Jiang Tao.
"Jiang Tao is a loyal minister. An Ruhai is a loyal minister, Wu Teng is a loyal minister." Min Ruoying lowered her head and muttered to the mouth. He was not stupid, at least he knew that besides Wu Teng could also withdraw from Qi, An Ruhai would end up killing the capital of Qi without hesitation. As for Jiang Tao, he had already died on the battlefield.
An Ruhai’s memorial fell to the ground. It was better to say that this was An Ruhai’s memorial than that.
"Uncle An, I was the one who harmed you." Min Ruoying closed her eyes a little lonely. From the beginning, An Ruhai and Cheng Wu had been firmly opposed to this war, but now, everything is unfortunately what they say, and An Ruhai will stay on this land forever.
"General An said, after his Majesty retreats to Chu, he must resolutely form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty to resist Qi State. Even if the Ming Dynasty makes any unreasonable requests, he must agree to them. A real man can bend and stretch and endure temporary humiliation, so that the clouds can clear and the moon will be bright." The man looked at Min Ruoying and said.
"This time I'm the bastard Qin Feng. General An actually wants me to form an alliance with him and to endure humiliation?" Min Ruoying roared in a low voice. If it weren't for An Ruhai's last stroke left on the ground, he really wanted to kick the general in front of him.
"Your Majesty, General An said that the State of Chu is no longer able to resist the Qi army alone, and the Ming people are the same. General An said that perhaps the Qi people will want to make peace with the State of Chu in the future, but the Great Chu will definitely not agree. Now neither Ming and Chu can resist Qi alone, but they can join forces to prevent the Qi people from taking it lightly on either side. Only in this way can the Great Chu win a chance to breathe for several years. General An also said, please remember this lesson, sleep on firewood and taste gall, and work hard to govern. Even if it takes another twenty years, as long as you defend the south of Chu, you will have a chance to recover. Please ask the King to taste the previous king's affairs. If Your Majesty can agree to him, then General An will die with peace of mind."
Min Ruoying's fingers clattered and looked at the man in front of her: "I understand."
The man looked up at Min Ruoying and stood up: "Your Majesty, since that's the case, the last general's mission has been completed. I wonder if Your Majesty has anything to say to General An?"
"What, you still have to go back?" Min Ruoying looked at the general in front of her in surprise.
The man nodded: "The General of the Mo is the general's personal guard. He has been fighting with the General for decades. Even if he dies, he will certainly die together. I have completed the mission and will go back."
Min Ruoying was moved in a panic. When he went back, he was dead. He was stunned for a while before he slowly said: "Since you have decided, I won't keep you. You just go back and tell An Ruhai that I hope he will come back alive."
The man smiled tragically: "Your Majesty, it's impossible. After Cao Yun destroyed the eastern border army, he will definitely return to encircle General An. Even if the general has three heads and six arms, he is trapped in the heart of Chu. He will be unable to make a comeback. Take care of him, and he will go."
The man bowed and turned around and walked a few steps, but turned back: "Your Majesty, please remember the last words of the General, and do not let General An make General Jiang Tao's death worthless."
Min Ruoying's face suddenly changed, but the man never looked at him again and lifted the curtain.
Fu Baoshi stood at the door of the tent, watching the man walk out and want to say something, but finally sighed and said nothing, watching the man turn over and ride his horse away.
"Master Fu, are you back?" Seeing Fu Baoshi, Min Ruoying stood up in surprise and came back with another master. The possibility of him killing him naturally increased greatly. Although he had already escaped from the main force of Qi, the journey back to China was destined to be not smooth.
