When Zhao Xiaole and others arrived at the north gate, the soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
It seemed that with Zhao Xiaole here, the difficulties they encountered were no longer problems and they no longer had to worry about them.
"Well, how's it going?"
Zhao Xiaole nodded and asked.
At this time, a school captain stood up immediately, saluted Zhao Xiaole and Xie Junhao and said: "The people opposite said that they were from Prince Pingxi's Mansion and were here to help us defend Chuzhou City. They also took out Prince Pingxi's warrant and told us to hurry up.
Open the city gate and let them in."
"But my subordinates did not receive orders from adults and generals and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they rejected their request!"
Zhao Xiaole immediately glanced at him with admiration, "Well, you are very good. General Xie, with this person's ability, is it enough to be a general?"
Xie Junhao glanced at the famous captain and said: "With his ability, he is more than capable of becoming a general. However, he has not yet achieved military merit, so he has not been promoted."
"Okay, you did a good job just now. Pontus will now appoint you as the assistant general of the city defense camp. Now, go and adjust everything on the north gate. The more people, the better. Do you understand?"
Zhao Xiaole looked at him and said.
The captain was immediately overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you for the promotion, sir. I will do it now!"
After saying that, he ran down immediately.
Only then did Zhao Xiaole and Xie Junhao move forward.
I saw that the official road outside Chuzhou City was filled with densely packed black-armored knights.
These black-armored knights wear helmets, and their faces cannot be seen at all.
And every helmet they wear looks like a wolf head.
This is the army for which King Pingxi became famous - the Wolf Head Army!
Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but admired: "Just looking at this military formation, you can see its combat power. The reputation of the Wolf Head Army is indeed well-deserved!"
On the side, Xie Junhao also nodded nervously.
It's just that at this moment, he was not in the mood like Zhao Xiaole to praise the enemy's discipline. Instead, he was filled with nervousness.
Because this is the famous wolf-headed army!
As a member of the army, he knew how powerful the Wolf Head Army was, so he did not dare to take it lightly at this time!
"drive!"
At this moment, a black-armored knight suddenly rushed out from the Pingxi King's army. He held a gold medal in his hand and shouted towards the city wall: "Who is Chuzhou Captain Zhao Xiaole?!"
The last time he sent someone to the capital to ask for help, Zhao Xiaole had already been officially promoted to Captain of Chuzhou for killing three thousand enemies.
In addition, there is no governor in Chuzhou now.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaole is now the real leader in Chuzhou!
Hearing the shouting, Zhao Xiaole smiled, and then immediately stood up with a straight face.
"This is the capital, who are you?"
"I am Li Lin, the general under the throne of Pingxi!"
The black-armored knight said: "King Pingxi asked me to ask you. It was you who asked the court for help and asked the court to order our prince to send troops for rescue. Now that our prince has arrived, why don't you go out of the city to greet him?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaole looked at him with disdain and said, "Haha, who do you think you are? You dare to come and question Pontus?"
"If you want to ask questions, let King Pingxi do it himself. You are not qualified yet!"
"you!"
The black-armored knight suddenly became furious and shouted angrily, holding up the gold medal in his hand: "This general holds the royal order, which represents the prince. Do you dare to say that I am not qualified?"
"Your Majesty?"
Zhao Xiaole snorted coldly and said: "I have seen many more princes than you in this capital. Even King Pingxi himself would not dare to be so rude to this capital. Who are you? Do you really think that a chicken feather can be used as an arrow?
"
"Click!"
Behind the mask, there was a sound of teeth grinding. It was obvious that the man was so angry that he wanted to bite his teeth into pieces.
As the general of the Wolf Head Army under King Pingxi, he has always been a person who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
But now, he was insulted by a captain of the state capital. This was something that he could not even think of before.
Which of those state officials in the past were not trembling with fear when they saw him, fearing that he would be unhappy if he did something wrong?
In this situation, he really wants to lead troops to attack the city and let him know his identity!
But now, he could only hold back the anger in his heart, stared at Zhao Xiaole and said: "You will only bring trouble to yourself if you are so rampant!"
"If you still want to live, come down in person and open the city gate to apologize to our prince. Otherwise, when the prince comes to court, you will only die!"
Zhao Xiaole said impatiently: "Why do you talk so much? I told you that if you want to ask questions, let your prince come in person. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will shoot you to death, believe it or not?"
Suddenly, crossbow arrows emitting cold light were aimed at the black-armored knight.
At such a close distance, even if he is wearing armor, once he is hit by the siege crossbow on the city wall, he will die!
So no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to say anything at this time. He just snorted heavily, turned around and quickly drove into the military formation.
Seeing his desperate appearance, the soldiers on the city wall burst into laughter, and their morale was greatly shaken.
However, there was no smile on Xie Junhao's face at all. Instead, he said with sadness: "Sir, you provoke King Pingxi like this. What if you annoy him and force him to attack the city?"
Zhao Xiaole looked at him and smiled and said: "Don't worry, the more arrogant I am, the less King Ping Xi will dare to take action."
"On the contrary, if I behave fearfully and submissively today, King Pingxi might actually take over the city!"
"Um?"
Xie Junhao was stunned, but immediately he reacted, his eyes lit up and he said: "My lord, what you mean is that the more arrogant you are, the more King Pingxi will think that you have someone to rely on, and the less he will dare to take action?"
Zhao Xiaole smiled and nodded.
Of course, the methods he used to confuse King Pingxi were far more than that...
In the army of King Pingxi.
The angry Li Lin soon came to a tall figure.
This man was nine feet tall, burly, with a full beard, but his eyes were small and squinted.
However, these pair of beautiful eyes are full of sharp and wise gazes. Just looking at them can make people feel chilled in their hearts.
This person is King Pingxi, Lin Tai!
"Prince"
As soon as he arrived, Li Lin got off his horse, knelt on one knee in front of King Pingxi, and said angrily: "The general went to deliver the king's order, but Zhao Xiaole couldn't help but didn't pay attention to it at all, and even spoke rudely, insulting the prince.
! Subordinates invite you to fight! Attack and remove wrinkles and seize the city!"
"What? How dare you insult the prince? I think this person really doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Your Majesty, let me fight in the front line! The general will definitely bring this person's head back and present it to Your Majesty!"
"I'll do it!"
"Your Majesty, we all invite you to fight!"
Suddenly, a group of generals around him became angry and asked for a fight.
