Chapter 1396 Eliminate future troubles forever
Zhu Zhen looked calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but in fact, the hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his nails were almost digging into his flesh.
He wants to kill Lu Qiling!
This is a helpless move!
If the entire army can retreat, what's the point of taking away one Lu Qiling?
Could it really be snatched away by Emperor Yuanwu?
What he was worried about was not this, but his inhumanity. Now it has spread a lot, and he has been criticized a lot for it.
This defeat requires a hasty evacuation. It is a big defeat in terms of strategy. After that, the criticism will be even heavier. It will inevitably be said that His Highness was angry because he was exposed as inhumane, which will eventually lead to negative consequences!
One of the key people is Lu Qiling!
It was precisely because of her, the most beautiful woman in the Liang Kingdom, that this matter attracted such attention and gave Emperor Yuanwu the opportunity to slander him.
As long as Lu Qiling dies, this flaw will no longer exist, and there will no longer be any slander against him.
He can also get rid of this shackles. He no longer has to worry about how to face Lu Qiling, let alone bear these criticisms...
Although Lu Qiling is the most beautiful girl in Daliang, it means nothing to him. She used to be a shield for his inhumanity, but now she has become a burden.
Kill her!
You can liberate yourself!
Now is the best opportunity. Taking advantage of the chaos, how did she die and how can she tell?
"Go, the Crown Princess is in the mansion."
"yes!"
Wulong responded immediately.
Shameful things like this are all done by Wulong.
In fact, Zhu Zhen's personal guards are all foreigners from the Western Regions, so they are the most reliable.
After several orders were issued, some order gradually came into being in Daze City, and the huge sphere that could fly into the sky finally disappeared.
The troops in the city quickly gathered and they had been ordered to retreat immediately.
The main reason was that they were too frightened. Being able to attack from the air on the ground was a huge shock to everyone. The soldiers had lost their will to fight.
Military orders are like mountains!
Zhu Zhen was holding on to Daze City this time, and the troops he transferred were all the elites of the Zhenbian Army and the Dingbian Army. Two generals, Fan Cang and Zong Wuji, personally commanded them, and their retreat speed was also quite fast.
Daze City has two gates, the north and the south. At this moment, the south gate is wide open and troops pour out like a tide.
It is impossible to say that we are frightened at this moment of fighting. To say that each one is running faster than the other, it can be said that they are scrambling to be the first.
"quick!"
"quick!"
"Follow up!"
"Throw away the baggage and don't want any more!"
An air raid made all Liang Jun soldiers unwilling to fight anymore.
This is caused by the differences in the times. The four words dimensionality reduction and attack are the most suitable to describe...
On the battlefield outside the city, the bombing had stopped at this moment. The Tianxiong Army's cavalry finally came to their senses. Iron Buddha was mainly hit by the concentrated bombing. The light cavalry on the left and right wings were relatively better.
At this moment, the soldiers were called to withdraw by horse racing. After receiving the order, they all turned their horses' heads.
The soldiers in the city were so frightened, let alone them, they were lucky to survive.
Many people's legs were too weak to move forward, and many war horses were frightened and ran away without knowing where to go.
Zhu Zhen still wanted to withdraw the Qingqi, so as to reduce the losses.
The iron pagoda heavy cavalry suffered the worst. They were the main target of the attack. They were subjected to concentrated bombing. Their formation had long been scattered. Many people were in a state of confusion and did not recover.
Experiencing constant artillery fire can be regarded as seeing the world.
However, due to insufficient firepower, their entire army was not wiped out. In fact, the casualties caused by the bombing were less than 30%, mostly due to the frightened horses and stampedes in the chaos.
And they also received different orders from Qingqi.
"His Highness has given an order to assemble the entire army and continue to attack the enemy until the last moment!"
Thousands of messengers holding flags raced through the ranks to convey Zhu Zhen's orders accurately.
The heavy cavalry Tiefutu is the most elite army among the Liang army. They are composed of the largest warriors, and their will is also the strongest!
Their military spirit only has four words, which is to move forward indomitably!
As long as you rush into Iron Buddha Tu, you can kill people!
They were indeed elites. After receiving the order, the heavy cavalry that had not been hit actually began to form formation, and those who had fallen to the ground were slowly getting up...
They are preparing for a new round of assault.
They cannot travel far due to the heavy armor, and as the army retreats, there will always be someone left behind, so the Iron Buddha is undoubtedly the best choice.
Even if there is a way, Zhu Zhen will not do this, but there is really no way!
On the city wall, looking at the iron pagoda gradually gathering outside the city, Zhu Zhen's heart was bleeding...
"Your Highness, the order has been received."
A general came over and reported: "General Wang was lucky not to die in the battle. He has received the order."
"hateful!"
Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know?"
"The biggest loss is that when all the iron pagodas are killed in battle, these heavy armors will be taken away by the enemy and used by them. In the end, the enemy will have a heavy cavalry."
Everyone was silent.
Of course they knew this would be the result, but what could they do?
Who made you decide to go out of the city to fight?
Some people are secretly complaining.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to leave. General Zong and General Fan have led their troops out of the city. Only those left behind will burn all the supplies and supplies in the city before leaving."
"A lot or not?"
"many."
A general said: "We have given up so much food and grass this time, and I am afraid we will starve next..."
"Let's make sure the person is alive first."
Zhu Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"The enemy has begun to attack."
Everyone looked over and could indeed see that there were military flags waving from the direction of the enemy's camp, which was obviously an army dispatch.
However, it is still safe for the time being. There is also the Iron Buddha on the battlefield, so at least it can be resisted for a while.
"Your Highness, you are still very decisive. The enemy's force is huge. If we do not retreat in time, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zuoqiu, the assistant officer of the Prince's Mansion, who was known as the biggest flatterer in the Liang army, lamented.
This is quite true.
At present, the morale of the army has been completely lost, and if they continue to fight hard, they will definitely lose. What's more, their troops in Daze City are sufficient for defending the city, but not enough for direct combat.
His Highness was really impulsive this time, and leaving the city to fight was the biggest mistake.
Everyone's eyes were moving, they all had this idea, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Your Highness, it's time to leave. Leave the green hills behind and don't worry about running out of firewood!"
Some generals rushed to comfort him.
The enemy has launched an attack. No one is sure how long the half-broken Iron Pagoda can hold off. If we don't leave, we will be in danger.
"Wait...wait."
Zhu Zhen is still waiting for Wulong who is going on a mission.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Wulong hurriedly ran up the city wall.
Chapter completed!
