Chu Xiong, who had won a great victory, counted the number of enemies he had killed. In addition to those who fled into the deep water to die, there were a total of 12,000 corpses. In addition to the Huo Tong soldiers who were killed on the road, a total of more than 23,000 enemies were wiped out! And Chu Xiong's hand
There are only five to six thousand people here.
Overjoyed, he asked his men: "Has Wang Zhi's body been found?"
"Report sir! No!"
"This old gelding! He's not very good at fighting, but he's really good at running away!" Chu Xiong didn't pay too much attention. He turned around and waved his hand: "Leave five hundred people to clean up the battlefield! The rest will follow me and Ma Yuejun to take back Nanchuan!"
Wang Zhi escaped from the battlefield under the protection of the golden-armored mad god and Captain Gustav. He looked back and saw that only the three of them were left in his army of more than 20,000 people, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
Thinking about the Cangzhou Army that I had painstakingly cultivated, most of them were killed or injured in one fell swoop, I wanted to kill them head-on!
But he didn't know that something even more tragic was waiting for him behind.
The defenders of Nanchuan City couldn't help but feel angry when they saw that Wang Zhi had not returned and showed no condolences after the victory. They began to openly plunder people's property and rape people's women; this caused the people in the city to rise up and fight with them.
! Wang Zhi and several other lieutenants also got together to drink heavily because of their recent victory. It was not until his subordinates forced a civil uprising that they stepped forward to stabilize the situation. Unexpectedly, before they could speak, they heard a loud noise of fighting and killing outside the city! Immediately afterwards
A hail of arrows shot directly into the city from outside the city! The lieutenants knew that it was a type of bow unique to Mayue's troops in Yunnan. It was extremely powerful and made of extremely tough wood, and the bowstring was said to be a kind of evil fish from the South China Sea.
Made of special tendons, its range is almost twice as long as that of ordinary bows. The locals also call it the "Dragon King Bow".
Several lieutenants quickly summoned sergeants to go up to the city wall to defend the city, but their defensive firepower was not as fierce as that of the Ma Yue Army attacking the city! Because almost everyone in the Ma Yue Army's Changzhang Army carried a Dragon King Bow, and when they attacked the city, they fired thousands of arrows.
! After several bursts of arrow rain, even if the archery skills are not accurate, there will probably not be many people left on the top of the city. The lieutenants guarding the city were so anxious that they kept forcing people to go up the city wall to defend. But the soldiers were not either
Idiot, who will die? Just when they were in a mess, something unexpected happened.
The local people hated Wang Zhijun so much that they risked their lives and quietly opened the city gate.
Several of Wang Zhi's lieutenants were not too panicked when they saw the enemy rushing into the city, because they knew that all of their soldiers were skilled in attack, and street fighting was their forte!
But soon the cruel reality educated them, letting them know that the strongest has its own right!
In addition to wearing the powerful Dragon King Bow, Ma Yue's long poke army also has a ridiculous weapon, which is their long poke. (Nonsense) Their long poke is more than ten feet long and has blades on all sides.
Mouth, it will be very difficult for the opponent to block or dodge, because it is too long, and the long poke with blades on all sides leaves very little room for the opponent to dodge. So it will be a headache for anyone who encounters them.
Fight them up close, but their long pokes are too powerful. If you keep a distance from them, the Dragon King's bow shoots at them again! So the locals call them "King of Hell's Army".
Whoever encounters it will be unlucky.
Fortunately, the combat capabilities of the Cangzhou Army were not blown away. Although they were killed by the Changzhao Army many times, they relied on their flexible skills to fight with them in the streets and alleys of Nanchuan.
However, after Chuxiong's barbarian cavalry and elephant soldiers entered the city, they had no chance at all. Under the attack and drive of several enemies, the Cangzhou army defending the city had to withdraw from another city gate.
Unexpectedly, people from all walks of life in Yunnan went to send them off very politely. They kept chasing their butts and beating them. The long-jabbing troops shot at them from behind, and the elephant soldiers chased and trampled them behind. Even the common people were waiting for the opportunity to slap them!
By the time they escaped from Nanchuan City, there were only a few dozen earth-colored people left.
They happened to encounter Wang Zhi, who was beating his chest and beating his head. When they told Wang Zhi the news of the fall of Nanchuan, Wang Zhi trembled violently and fainted! Everyone on the left and right quickly picked him up. At this time, the pursuers came and chased him.
A rain of arrows struck! The golden-armored Mad God and Captain Gustav grabbed Wang Zhi and rode away on horseback!
When we arrived in Guizhou, we counted and found that only sixteen people had escaped and ascended to heaven.
When the news came out, Longting was furious! According to Niu Yu, the emperor was so angry that he said "I'm a loser!" He immediately drafted an edict to remove Wang Zhi from the post of recruiting envoy, and issued four urgent orders to urge him to return.
Beijing! This time Wang Zhi really suffered a huge loss. His cronies in the Cangzhou Army suffered all casualties, the counterinsurgency was defeated and their face was completely lost. The officials were so excited that they didn't shut up all day, taking the opportunity to accuse him endlessly.
The charges ranged from eating watermelon without paying when he was a child to always being late for morning appointments, from corruption and bribery to harming the country and the people, collaborating with the enemy and treason. However, the emperor still only scolded him but never meant it, which made them very helpless.
"Hey, the emperor's temper will never change." Wynn gently shook his head after listening to the reports from his own eyes and ears in the court.
It seems that the current situation is very different from a few months ago~
In the morning of the next day, the emperor changed from normal and sat on the dragon throne early, with a rare expression on his face. It seemed that he also realized the seriousness of the matter and did not fight all night yesterday.
To put it bluntly, a mere province rebelled and became king, but you, the Ming Dynasty, had so many elite soldiers and strong generals, but they failed to suppress the rebellion and were almost completely wiped out by the rebels. If this continues, I wonder if other provinces will have any ideas.
The emperor had his eyes fixed on Shang Ming as soon as he came to court. He knew that only this old fox could solve the current situation.
But Shang Ming didn't say a word. His eyes were staring blankly at a certain point in front of him, as if he was wandering in all directions. People were flying to nowhere in the center of the hall.
The emperor was helpless. Not only did Shang Ming remain silent, but all the officials who had been arguing all day yesterday also took a rest.
They used silence to express their attitude: Wang Zhi must be punished.
Although the emperor is weak, he is not stupid. He had long expected that someone would ask to deal with Wang Zhi. But he did not expect that everyone's attitude would be so firm and unyielding.
Several Wang Zhi's eagle dogs finally broke the embarrassing silence in the court, and they began to describe how Wang Zhi was dedicated to his job and loyal to the country. How he devoted himself to work for decades and passed home three times a day.
A lot of clichéd plots about not entering and waiting were explained.
Unexpectedly, Yan Guan seemed to have taken a sedative today, and no one stood up to refute, reprimand, insult, and sarcastically.
This kind of cold violence is actually more ruthless. Those weak voices become more timid and weak as they speak, and in the end they get stuck and can no longer speak.
"Bold!" The emperor finally couldn't hold back and burst out: "Do you think you can coerce me like this!?"
Those silent ministers actually raised their heads fearlessly and looked directly at the emperor with bright eyes!
