Chapter 526 King Qi retreats again!
"Your Majesty!"
"We... heavy armored soldiers, more than half were killed or injured!"
"Um……"
In just a short moment, King Qi had calmed down and his expression returned to its calm state. After looking far into the distance, he sighed with regret: "Dayu came here specifically to defeat King Ben!"
"Now, the heavy armored troops have been defeated, and the soldiers have no morale whatsoever."
"Send the order, withdraw the troops!"
"My lord, are you still withdrawing?" A military commander showed a hint of unwillingness in his eyes: "If we let this hole open, we will not be able to defend the Nine Levels Pass!"
"snort!"
"Can you hold on without letting go?"
"You can't even defeat the heavily armored army, so what can you do to defend it?"
"Send me the king's order to withdraw from Jiucheng Pass!"
There was a hint of violence on King Qi's face, and he shouted: "Burn whatever you can't take away with me. Burn everything you pass by. Whether it's houses, food, grass, or streets, anything that can't be taken away will be given to me." Burned."
"Even if I leave, I will never leave any food or grass for Dayu."
"promise!"
A general took the order and left, but the counselor next to him had a look of worry in his eyes: "Your Majesty, we withdraw, what will Kuang Chen and the others do?"
"Kang Chen!"
King Qi also had a look of confusion on his face. After all, Kuang Chen was the most powerful general under his command. Now he went out of the city to attack the camp and successfully set fire to Dayu's camp. Logically speaking, he was the hero of the palace.
But now...
"Report!"
Just when King Qi was hesitating, a figure suddenly rushed forward. His body was covered with knife marks and blood was flowing across his body. However, he remained tall and straight. He said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, General Kuang Chen was ambushed in the enemy camp. Now, under his command, The 30,000-strong army is under siege. Please send troops to help quickly, Your Majesty!"
"What!"
King Qi's expression changed again, and he stared at the scout: "What on earth is going on? Didn't Kuang Chen successfully set fire to the enemy camp?"
"Yu's main force is attacking the city, who are they surrounded by?"
"Your Majesty!"
The scout's nose was filled with tears, and he cried mournfully: "We did not burn Dayu's camp, but they burned it themselves. There is no one in the camp, and it is all firewood and oil."
"As soon as our people rushed in, they were blocked by Dayu's cavalry. They charged several times and dispersed the army."
"General Kuang Chen finally organized a defense, but... he was already surrounded by them."
"puff!"
After all, King Qi couldn't hold on anymore, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his whole body became shaky.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty..."
"withdraw!"
…
"Lord, Jiuzhong Pass has been captured."
"yes!"
Ning Fan looked at the corpses all over the ground, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Since ancient times, there has been success and failure, but regardless of success or failure, it is the people at the bottom who shed blood and sacrifice. After life and death, politicians shake hands and make peace, and the powerful and powerful return to peace. It is nothing more than the circulation of interests.
But for him now, war is not about winning the enemy's compromise, but about overthrowing and establishing a new system.
"My lord, King Qi's remnant army has escaped from Jiuchong Pass. Do you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"
"No more chasing."
Ning Fan shook his head and said softly: "Yong Zeng, Yun Chang, you quickly lead your troops to help Qingzhi and eliminate the night attack army outside Jiuchong Pass."
"promise!"
"Pan Feng, Xing Daorong."
"The end will be here."
"You go and take over the city defense."
"promise!"
"Lord!"
Just as the generals were preparing to leave, Guo Jia quickly stepped forward and whispered: "When the King of Qi withdrew his troops, he set fires everywhere, and now the Jiuchong Pass is on fire..."
"What a familiar method."
Ning Fan glanced at Li Ru playfully, and then said calmly: "Then let the soldiers put out the fire first. We will save as much food as possible, and preserve the houses as much as possible."
"Is there any news from Ziyun and Shubao?"
"Back to my lord, General Chen and General Qin have surrounded Kuang Chen's troops."
"good!"
Ning Fan also felt relieved and took the empress to the General's Mansion at Jiuchong Pass. Looking at the charred walls everywhere, he couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will wrong you today."
"Lord, in the entire General's Mansion, there is only one house left intact. Please move it."
"Um!"
Ning Fan took advantage of the situation and took Mu Qingcheng's hand. The latter's whole body trembled, and he broke away reflexively. He took two steps back and looked at him with cold eyes.
Dian Wei wisely walked out of the courtyard, leaving only the two of them. The soldiers who were putting out the fire not far away also poured two basins of water and consciously stayed away.
"Your Majesty, the Nine Levels Pass has been broken, and my king's iron hoof is knocking on the door of Guanshan Mountain."
"Of course there is no need to worry later, you can also prepare for the class."
"You're going to drive me away when you're done with me?" Mu Qingcheng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Ning Fan's words. "Besides, this mountain is not yet under your control."
"Hahaha!" Ning Fan smiled: "Sooner or later, your Majesty has many things to do, and I don't dare to delay for too long."
"How did you think about what I discussed with you before?"
"This is something you should ask your Majesty yourself. The king's conditions have already been stated. Whether it can be achieved or not depends entirely on your Majesty."
"you!"
There was a blush on Mu Qingcheng's cold face, and she stared at Ning Fan with a bit of embarrassment: "I can't agree to this condition, you can change it."
"I seem to have said that I have nothing else to ask for!"
"You are a lecher, a shameless person, a pervert, and a shameless person."
"Your Majesty, be careful with your words!"
Ning Fan's eyes were somewhat unkind, and his tone was a little cold: "Your Majesty was the first to negotiate with me. Since it is a deal, it is a matter of mutual consent!"
"If Your Majesty does not agree, just let it go. I have never forced you."
"But you..."
Mu Qingcheng had no image of an emperor at this moment, like a little woman who had been wronged, with resentment and confusion in her eyes.
He obviously liked me. Some time ago, he obeyed me in everything, and even...
But why did he become so cold and ruthless in just a few days?
"Stinky man, so hateful!"
"Does he want to force me to bow my head?"
Mu Qingcheng was extremely uneasy, and her eyes gradually became complicated. She looked at Ning Fan for a long time before sighing: "Since you don't agree, I... will return to the court tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Ning Fan had no intention of retaining him, but instead smiled: "Since Your Majesty is not prepared to negotiate conditions, we can naturally put aside our identities as businessmen and still be good friends who can sleep together!"
"You..."
Mu Qingcheng was so angry that she couldn't speak. She looked at Ning Fan and didn't know how to start. This guy was obviously annoying, but she didn't feel any hatred or bad feelings. She was just angry!
Very angry!
