Chapter 7: The Battle of Tianzhu (3)

However, things are so wonderful, just when Xue Wanche prayed that Liu Hongji could hold on for a few more days, and at the same time he dug the trench halfway to the end of his side, he suddenly heard a shouting and killing sound coming from the town gate, which lasted for an hour, and when the shouting and killing was over, a banner of the Tang Dynasty actually appeared on the pass.

The banner that appeared was naturally Liu Hongji's, and after breaking through the 500,000 troops of the Jieri Dynasty surrounding Wangshe City, he killed all the way to the fourth line of defense of the Jieri King, that is, the Zhenmen Pass defense line.

It is also strange to say, the situation of this town gate pass and Tongguan is almost the same, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and easy to attack and difficult to defend on the other hand. But in the face of Liu Hongji's side, it was a smooth road, not only the terrain was open, but also he didn't even see a trench - or the Jieri Dynasty never thought that Liu Hongji would run out of the palace city, so there was no defense line on this side at all.

Therefore, after Liu Hongji arrived, he only sent a thousand people, and easily took down the town gate in one round.

The two armies converged, and Liu Hongji understood that the Jieri Dynasty was in the position of victory, and it could trap itself to death in a few days, but it resolutely gave up the siege on its side and transferred 500,000 troops to the specific reason.

Because there was a fire in their backyard - an army that didn't know where it came from, was invincible all the way from the north, not only destroyed all the cities along the way, but even hit their capital Qunu City, and once attacked Qunu City, if it weren't for the appearance of the King of the Ring Sun to command the army to control the situation, maybe that time Qunu City would have really been captured.

It's just that although the Ring Sun Empire drove the enemy out of Qunu City, it was not without a price, and their price was - the King of the Ring Sun was blinded in one eye by an arrow shot by a man in a scribe's robe, and it happened to be inflamed and infected. Now he can't see, the high fever does not go away, and although he has not completely fallen into a coma, if he does not get effective treatment, it is only a matter of time before the death of the King of the Sun is a matter of time.

However, there are only 10,000 foot soldiers guarding the Qunu City now, and although the enemy is only 3,000, they are all brave and good at fighting, each of them is a top warrior, and it is not a problem to be ten at all.

When they first broke into Qunu City, the reason why they were repelled was not all due to the work of the King of the Ring Sun, but the main reason was that the enemy's commander was unwilling to lose too many manpower, otherwise maybe it would be that time, Qunu City would have fallen in a battle.

Originally, Qunu City was already in turmoil, but now the news of the serious injury of the King of the Ring Sun has made it even worse, and the entire Qunu City is in chaos.

The king of the precepts was no longer in charge, so the ministers had to temporarily support the eldest son of the king of the precepts, Ajarye, as the regent, and temporarily preside over the government on behalf of the king of the precepts.

But compared with the king of the ring of the sun, Ai'er Jian's political skills are far inferior, and the first edict he issued after serving as the regent was to hurry up all the soldiers and horses from all over the country to return to the king of Jingqin.

It stands to reason that this edict is still a good matter, after all, Qunucheng is the capital of the Ring Sun Empire, if this place is breached, then the Ring Sun Empire is equivalent to declaring its demise, and it is the right thing to summon the army to return to the division of King Qin, and it does not even need to be convened by the imperial court.

The question is, it may be that the previous enemy's deeds of almost attacking Qunu City frightened our new regent, or Ajarye was too flustered, or the nobles and lords of Qunu City were too pushed, etc., in short, it should have been an order to transfer troops back to King Qin in Jingqin as appropriate, and he wrote it as ordering all the troops from all over the country to return to King Qinqin - in short, under this order, the troops from all parts of the Ring Sun Empire immediately packed up and marched to Qunu City, and these armies included those armies with combat missions.

Some of the troops who confronted the enemy on the border line immediately abandoned the original defense line and retreated after receiving the order, but fortunately, the enemies of the Ring Sun Empire were confused by this abnormal move, and they did not dare to rush to send troops for a while, but they only increased the investment of the exploration horses, and they must find out what tricks the Ring Empire is playing as soon as possible.

Therefore, although the Ring Sun Empire retreated in a hurry, it was this rush that frightened its enemies, so it was very fortunate to avoid the pursuit of the enemy country and avoid greater losses.

But in any case, Ajarye made a bad move, even if he could drive away the enemies outside Qunu City in the future, the King of the Ring Sun recovered and would not be drowned in the water, and finally defeated the Tang Empire...... Even if this series of achievements is completed, the Ring Sun Empire will probably have a little bit of vitality, at least ten years don't think about restoring its former glory - originally because of the war with the Tang Dynasty, the Ring Sun Empire has already drawn soldiers who can fight almost everyone in the country except for the border, and only a small number of soldiers are still distributed in various places. But now that these people have also been summoned to the capital Qinwang, how can they let go of such a good opportunity when those hostile countries react? Even if you can't destroy the Ring Sun Empire, at least you have to bite a big piece of meat on their bodies, and let the Ring Sun Empire suffer for more than ten years.

And the 500,000 troops outside the city of the palace were also withdrawn for this reason, but fortunately, the commander of the one million army outside the city of the palace was none other than the most trusted subordinate of the king of the sun, the second father of the empire who can have today's achievements, the first god of war of the empire - 'hero' Tagore.

It is precisely because he is Tagore, so after receiving the order of Ajarye, he did not follow the order and mobilize all the troops back to Qunu City, but only took half of the elite, leaving half to guard Wangshe City - the strategic transfer of a million troops, if no one breaks the queen, if the Tang army that rushed out of Wangshe City takes advantage of the situation to pursue, this million army may not have arrived in Qunu City, and will be buried in the hands of the Tang army.

However, because he was trapped in the city before, Liu Hongji didn't understand the situation, so after breaking out of the encirclement of Wangshe City, he didn't care about this retreating army, but fought back to the fourth line of defense, and Xue Wanche attacked back and forth, successfully connecting the lifeline from Gundam Kingdom to Wangshe City.

But it's not too late, because it's only two days before Tagore's retreat, and the 500,000 army must be marching very slowly, if it really wants to pursue, the Tang army will only need five days at most to bite Tagore's tail and drag Tianzhu, the most powerful army at present, in place.
