Steel Dynasty - Chapter 685

[Chapter 684: Victory is Guaranteed]

Flames and thick smoke obscured the sky of Chang’an.

Screams, howls, and desperate cries before death became the background music of Chang’an City at this time.

The barbarity of human nature was vividly demonstrated by Zhao Jun’s soldiers at this moment. In their eyes, the people of Chang’an were no longer human beings, but pigs and sheep allowed to be slaughtered by them.

“Kill!” Zhao Jun soldiers rushed out of one folk village and into another. The streets were full of bloody footprints left by Zhao Jun soldiers.

Elderly people and children on the street were hacked to death by Zhao soldiers before they could escape. From time to time, hysterical cries of women could be heard from dark corners.

An atmosphere of terror enveloped Chang’an City, but the wolf-like Zhao army encountered obstacles when it continued to slaughter Nancheng.

At this time, some wealthy tribes suddenly appeared on the street and fought with them.

This situation curbed the massacre of Zhao soldiers, and they continued to encounter casualties as they advanced.

“King Zhao murdered the late emperor, framed the former prince, and threatened Empress Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince. Anyone can kill such rebellious people. People, now King Zhao is trying to massacre the city. If no one resists, no one will survive. Kill with us.” Enemy!”

Ge Yiren was shocked when he learned that Zhao Jun was massacring the city. He understood that King Zhao was completely crazy.

Making a prompt decision, he immediately sent some of his troops to the North City to seize the city gate. At the same time, he, Ni Kuang, and Yu Zhiyong led other troops to organize the people to prevent Zhao Jun from massacring Chang’an.

“Kill this thief!”

With Ge Yiren taking the lead, the leaderless people were organized into a group. Facing death, these people were unwilling to surrender.

“Kill the King of Zhao and help the royal family!”

“Kill the King of Zhao and help the royal family!”

“…”

The people were furious and shouted as they rushed towards the Zhao soldiers who raised their butcher knives against them.

It’s just that the wealthy tribes and the relatively experienced Zhao soldiers lacked combat experience. After a charge, they were beaten back by the Zhao soldiers.

The three Ge Yiren saw this scene in their eyes. This situation had been expected for them, but if they didn’t resist them, they would die.

Between waiting to be killed and being killed after resisting, the three chose the latter.

The number of resisting common people and wealthy tribes became less and less as the war progressed. Ge Yiren was anxious and looked in the direction of the north gate from time to time.

Just when their resistance was about to collapse, suddenly the sound of horse hooves approached them like thunder.

When this voice seemed to ring in his ears, Ge Yiren saw the cavalry wearing silver breastplates and riding horses.

Each of these cavalrymen had strong horses, and the sabers made of fine steel in their hands shone with a cold light. In an instant, these cavalrymen rushed directly from Suzaku Avenue into the slaughtering Zhao soldiers.

Zhao Jun, who was immersed in the massacre, did not react at all. When they turned around, they only saw the saber that chopped off their heads.

The sound of fighting sounded, and the Zhao army that came into contact with the cavalry was cut in the middle by the Qingzhou cavalry like running water meeting a hard stone.

Some Zhao soldiers thought that this was still a tribe of powerful people, and they rushed towards these cavalry with contempt in their hearts.

It was only at the moment of the fight that they understood that this was a more ferocious army than them. These cavalry were very skilled in handling horses, and what was more skillful than riding horses was their ability to kill enemies.

The cavalry who rushed into the crowd were still able to protect and cooperate with each other. What frightened them the most was the ferocity of this cavalry.

In front of them, they suddenly became lambs to be slaughtered.

The most rare thing on the battlefield is morale. Facing the cowardly people, these Zhao troops have high morale, and the pleasure brought by looting makes them extremely ferocious.

But an army with will is beyond their reach.

More and more cavalry poured in from the north city, and the Zhao soldiers who massacred the people were driven by the cavalry to escape to the south city.

After the cavalry gained a firm foothold, powerful tribes came from outside the city, and their numbers continued to increase. They cooperated with the cavalry to continuously attack and kill.

When Ge Yiren saw these cavalry, a stone fell in his heart, and then he found Qi Guangyi.

“General, I’m Ge Yiren.” When he arrived in front of Qi Guangyi, Ge Yiren directly announced his name.

Qi Guangyi was about to go to the palace to capture King Zhao. When he heard the name, he stopped and said, “Are you the Ge Yiren who sent us the information?”

Ge Yiren was overjoyed. He nodded fiercely, “That’s it.”

Yu Zhiyong. After looking at each other with Ni Kuang, I realized that Ge Yiren was an old fox and had long been secretly connected with King Qi’s army.

Qi Guangyi’s expression softened and he said, “It turns out to be Master Ge. General Niu asked me to greet you when I see you.”

“General Niu is so polite.” Ge Yiren burst out laughing.

After greetings, Qi Guangyi asked directly: “Excuse me, Mr. Ge, how many soldiers and horses of King Zhao are there in this city?”

“General, there are only 60,000 soldiers and horses of King Zhao in this city. Most of King Zhao’s soldiers and horses are going there. They arrived in Yuanzhou, but they were defeated at Juyong Pass. In addition to King Zhao’s troops, there are also 50,000 imperial troops in the city. These imperial troops rebelled with King Zhao when the late emperor was still alive.” Ge Yiren said.

“One hundred and ten thousand people.”

Qi Guangyi frowned. This time they came for a total of 40,000 people. If Zhao Jun came to his senses and attacked again, they might not be able to withstand it.

Seemingly seeing Qi Guangyi’s worries, Ge Yiren said: “General Qi, old and incompetent, is willing to go to the Forbidden Army camp to persuade them to surrender, as long as the general can spare their lives.”

Qi Guangyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said; “If so, wait and see When the general comes, I will ask the general for help.”

Ge Yiren became more and more happy, and he continued: “I am quite prestigious among the wealthy families in Chang’an. Now I can add some help to the general.”

At this time, Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang .

He said eagerly: “General, we and I can also summon troops to fight for the general.”

The smile in Qi Guangyi’s eyes became thicker and thicker. He knew that these people saw that King Zhao’s situation was over, and they were eager to find new masters to establish their merits.

Now that King Zhao is right in front of us, as long as King Zhao is destroyed, the North will be unified from now on. It doesn’t matter if these people are credited with a single achievement.

He said: “In this case, I will rely on the three of them to help me fight against the rebellion.”

The three of them bowed. Ge Yiren went to the Forbidden Army camp, while Yu Zhiyong and Ni Kuang went to gather the troops.

At this moment, more and more wealthy families learned that Xiao Ming’s troops had arrived, and they all came with their tribes to help in the battle.

The fighting lasted from noon to night. In the early morning of the next day, the number of wealthy tribes who came to help in the battle had reached 25,000. Ge Yiren also brought news of the surrender of the Forbidden Army.

Qi Guangyi was not in a hurry to attack at this time. He ordered people to surround the city gate and just waited for the bull to rush forward.
