When Liu Junyu heard this, he realized what was going on. He immediately understood.
"No, if I capture you, your men will be in chaos. Later, when I am defeated, you can lead your troops to chase me."
After saying that, the old Marquis used his strength again and struck Zhu Jianyu with three moves.
Of course, Zhu Jianyu understood what the old Marquis meant. After struggling to avoid it, he suddenly swung his spear and stabbed the old Marquis in the shoulder.
Liu Junyu pretended to be unable to dodge and prepared to take the shot, but it was obvious that Zhu Jianyu was not willing to stab him.
Zhu Jianyu raised the tip of his spear slightly and stabbed it. The tip of the spear penetrated Liu Junyu's armor and rubbed against Liu Junyu's skin.
Liu Junyuyu secretly sighed in his heart, Zhu Jianyu's marksmanship was not ordinary, he was just right.
Wang Lei and others on the city were far away. They only saw that Liu Junyu had been shot, and they didn't understand the twists and turns.
Liu Junyu uttered an ouch, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Then he turned the horse's head and ran.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Jianyu waved his big gun, and all his soldiers immediately rushed up like a tide.
How could Wang Lei in the city know this? When he saw Zhu Jianyu's victory, he excitedly ordered the drums to be beaten to cheer him up.
Zhu Jianyu chased Liu Junyu and ran five or six miles in one breath.
Feeling that he was safer, he shouted loudly, "Old Marquis, please don't be anxious."
Hearing his shout, Liu Junyu also breathed a sigh of relief, reined in his horse and turned his head.
"The young general is very good at marksmanship."
Zhu Jianyu cupped his fists and said, "The old Marquis is not injured, but he worries me to death."
Liu Junyu laughed.
"You're not hurt at all. Come with me to see the prince."
Wang Lei and Wang Heng were waiting for a long time on the city gate, but they couldn't see Zhu Jianyu coming back.
Wang Lei suddenly seemed to have come back to his senses, "Oh, something seems wrong!"
Wang Heng also came to his senses and shouted to the people around him, "Go and see where Zhu Jianyu went?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a fast horse running back in the distance. It was the secret whistle arranged by Wang Heng just now.
Arriving at the foot of the city, the man shouted loudly to the top of the city, "General, Zhu Jianyu has surrendered. He has merged with Liu Junyu and has gone to the other side's camp."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lei was so angry that he punched the city wall, "You bastard, oh, I knew he was unreliable. I'm going to regret it later."
After he finished cursing, he turned to look at the people behind him and said, "Send my military order. No one is allowed to leave the city again. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
At this time, Zhu Jianyu had already met the prince Xiao Jingyun accompanied by the old marquis Liu Junyu.
Seeing Xiao Jingyun, Zhu Jianyu knelt on the ground with his hands clasped in his fists, "Zhu Jianyu, the guilty man, pays homage to His Royal Highness."
Xiao Jingyun laughed loudly and stepped forward to help Zhu Jianyu.
"General Zhu's words are serious, why are you guilty?"
"The final general failed to offer the city..." Zhu Jianyu still had some regrets in his words.
But Liu Junyu laughed, "General Zhu is such a good marksman. It's really amazing that he came over by rubbing my shoulder without getting hurt."
Xiao Jingyun was frightened when he heard this.
Zhu Jianyu cupped his fists and said, "Fortunately, the old Marquis dodges quickly. If I had been slower, I would have become a sinner for the ages."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingyun realized that Zhu Jianyu was really a very talented person and very bold.
He looked at Liu Junyu next to him and laughed, "I am very pleased that General Zhu has such martial arts. He will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future."
After saying that he could take Zhu Jianyu down to rest, he turned to look at Liu Junyu with a hint of complaint, "Old Ai Qing, you are taking too much of a risk, just in case he is not sure."
Liu Junyu laughed and said, "Don't be afraid. Although Zhu Jianyu's marksmanship is exquisite, I am confident that I can still dodge."
At this time, Zhu Meng also received news that Qingniu County was under siege, and he was in a bit of trouble. Now that he had left Qingniu County for nearly sixty miles, it was obviously unrealistic to turn back for rescue.
But he also knew that if he didn't return reinforcements, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would be considered responsible.
At this time, Zhu Lin, the general, spoke up, "Commander, we'd better return for reinforcements, otherwise the morale of the army may be weakened."
Lu Dong said in his heart, "You can't go back. If you go back to the prince's place, the pressure will be too great. If you cooperate inside and outside, you may be fucked."
Thinking of this, he clasped his fists and said, "Commander, please allow me to say something ruthless. It is already noon. If we return sixty miles to help, if we cannot win quickly before dark, we will have nowhere to camp, and we will not have enough food and grass.
You can’t go back to Qingniu Mountain again.”
After listening to Lu Dong's words, Zhu Meng thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "General Lu's words are reasonable. If the army is bitten by Xiao Jingyun and tracks to Jizhou, if there are any changes in Jizhou, we will have nowhere to go.
Gone."
Seeing that Zhu Meng had complied with his thoughts, Lu Dong went on to say, "Yes, the commander-in-chief can give Wang Lei a military order and ask him to stick to Qingniu County. When we arrive in Jizhou and take a short rest, we will fight with the Dalin Kingdom."
The troops and horses return together to support Qingniu County, and Xiao Jingyun can be surrounded and annihilated by then."
After hearing what Lu Dong said, Zhu Meng looked up to the sky and laughed, "General Lu's words make sense."
"Kuai Feige sent a letter to Wang Lei, asking him to hold on and come back for reinforcements after I have established a firm foothold in Jizhou."
At this time, Zhu Lin sighed secretly, thinking that if she kept going like this, the military morale she had just gathered might be lost again.
I don’t know if they will disperse here or not, but Wang Lei was dumbfounded when he received the letter.
Seeing him silent, Wang Heng next to him came over.
"General, what's wrong?"
Wang Lei sighed and handed the letter forward, "The commander-in-chief has led a team to Jizhou and wants us to hold on."
After reading this letter, Wang Heng was also dumbfounded.
"What's this called?"
"No wonder Xiao Jingyun suddenly became unscrupulous and surrounded our Qingniu County. It turns out that the commander had escaped long ago."
Wang Lei sighed, "Yes, we should have known earlier to evacuate to Jizhou. We also left last night, so we would not have to suffer here."
But what's the use of talking about this now?
Wang Heng also shook his head for a while, "But it's too late to talk about this now. Let's think about how we can hold on for half a month."
Yes, Wang Lei also looked depressed.
"You have to stay here for at least half a month. You first take people to check and sort out the food and grass to see if there is enough. In addition, you must resolutely block the news about this matter and not let others know about it."
"But what should I do if someone asks me? Isn't it very abnormal if there is no movement outside the city for so many days?"
Wang Lei thought for a moment, "Just say that two more troops are coming to support Xiao Jingyun. The commander-in-chief will lead his troops to repel them first."
After all, Wang Lei also knows this trick of self-deception. If someone sees through it, it will mean defeat and destruction, but now there is no other way but this.
At sunset, Xiao Jingyun received accurate information. Zhu Meng had led the team to leave Qingniu County on the hundred-mile road, and he was determined not to come back for rescue.
