Chapter 307: Back to the Water, King versus King!
The next day, at nightfall:
The detailed battle plan and deployment of King Zhao were placed in front of Xiao Tiangui.
Seeing this military deployment, even a veteran like Xiao Tiangui was secretly surprised.
"What a great plan: to line up your troops with your back to the water, to face death and then survive. What a great plan: to take the enemy by surprise, to launch a surprise attack at night."
"If this information had not been delivered in time, even if we could have defended Hulao Pass, we would have suffered heavy casualties!"
"If he is given another ten years to grow, I'm afraid no one in the entire Nine Provinces will be able to compete with him!"
"This is really a young man to be feared, a young man to be feared!"
Even Green, who prided himself on being a master of planning, felt powerless in the face of the rising evil.
"If this Yan Qing is really Li Changsheng, then it's no wonder that the Jiang family fell into his hands!"
"It seems that this fellow cannot be left alive. Otherwise, I'm afraid the entire Xiao family will be destroyed in his hands!"
Xiao Tiangui valued talent and felt a little sorry for it.
But then he changed his mind and realized that the more evil Li Changsheng acted, the more evil he became.
The threat to their Xiao family will be greater in the future.
Just as Mr. Ge said, at his current rate of growth, if he is not nipped in the bud in time.
I'm afraid that the entire Xiao family may really be destroyed by Li Changsheng.
This kid must be eliminated!
……
Beneath the majestic pass, flags are waving and dust is billowing.
King Ying Guang of Zhao ordered Zhao Kun and Ying Jie to be the vanguard generals and challenge the enemy at the front of the pass.
This time, Xiao Tiangui did not stay indoors like he did before.
Instead, he ordered his general Zhao Xiong to lead the army to attack.
After a fierce fight between the two sides, Ying Jie and Zhao Kun pretended to be defeated and retreated quickly.
Zhao Xiong led the army in hot pursuit.
When they were halfway through the pursuit, something strange happened!
The Zhao army attacked from the left and right wings and cut off and encircled Zhao Xiong's troops.
Seeing this, Xiao Tiangui personally led three thousand black-armored cavalrymen to rescue them.
Ying Jie, Zhao Kun and others fought and retreated, leading Xiao Tiangui to the bank of the Bian River.
On the banks of the Bian River, King Ying Guang of Zhao had already led the main force and was waiting there.
"General, how are you?"
Xiao Tiangui stared at King Zhao and shouted loudly.
"Ying Guang, you didn't stay in Zhaojun, but instead raised an army to rebel. What crime should you be charged with?"
"If you have any sense, surrender immediately and follow me to see His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty might even forgive your sins for the sake of our common race!"
After listening to Xiao Tiangui's righteous rebuke.
Yingguang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, Xiao Tiangui, the young emperor has already destroyed the Jiang family in order to seize power. Your Xiao family's achievements are so great that they threaten the emperor. The threat to the imperial power is even greater than that of the Jiang family. Do you think the young emperor will let you go?"
"How about this? As long as you submit to me, I will grant your Xiao family land and make you kings after I ascend the throne!"
"When the time comes, our two families will rule the world together and divide the nine provinces equally. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
After hearing that King Zhao had won everything, he offered the conditions.
Xiao Tiangui was really tempted.
However, he was well aware of the wolfish ambition of this man to win everything.
What I am saying now sounds very high-sounding.
But it was just to stabilize his bullshit.
In the future, when King Zhao secures his throne, the first family he will purge will be his.
It must be their Xiao family!
"Yingguang, you are so stubborn and stubborn, it seems you want to go down this path to the end!"
Ying Guang saw that he had already offered the Xiao family generous conditions of splitting the land and making them kings.
But Xiao Tiangui was not moved at all.
This made Ying Guang furious.
"Xiao Tiangui, it seems you are not willing to accept my offer. Today, this is where you will be buried!"
After saying that, he waved at his men.
"Beat the drums, charge!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, the war drums were beaten loudly.
Flags fluttered, horses galloped, and billowing dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Tiangui immediately took effective measures.
"Beat the drums, black armored cavalry, follow me and charge!"
Xiao Tiangui personally led the black-armored cavalry, like a sharp blade, and charged straight towards King Zhao's army.
Generals Zhao Gui, Wang Chao, Sun Zhong, Zhang Ping and others immediately deployed their battle formations and launched an attack on King Zhao's army.
When Ying Guang met Xiao Tiangui, he personally led the black-armored cavalry to charge.
Not willing to be outdone, he led five thousand black-armored cavalrymen, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, and charged forward in a mighty force.
The two elite cavalry units immediately collided with each other.
In just a moment, a man and a horse were knocked to the ground.
The weapons collided with each other, splashing out countless flashes of swords and shadows.
For a moment, blood gushed out like a waterfall.
The horses neighed and screamed.
In this way, the two sides fought from day to dusk.
It’s still hard to tell the winner.
At this moment, the remnants of the defeated troops from Hulao Pass came hurriedly to report.
It is said that the Zhao army attacked Hulao Pass at night.
Now Hulao Pass has been lost.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Tiangui was shocked.
Immediately, under the persuasion of a group of generals, he ordered the entire army to retreat.
King Ying Guang of Zhao saw him fighting in the wild and defeating Xiao Tiangui, the best general in Jiuzhou.
I am also very proud at this moment.
He originally wanted to lead the army personally to hunt down Xiao Tiangui.
However, he was persuaded by his staff and the general.
"Your Highness, your body is worth millions, and you should not move lightly. You should stay at Hulao Pass to avoid losing what you have gained!"
King Zhao also felt that what his subordinates said made sense.
He prepared to lead his troops to Hulao Pass and take charge there personally.
Seeing that a great achievement was right in front of him, Ying Jie immediately volunteered to follow and hunt down Xiao Tiangui, determined to capture him alive.
King Zhao was very impressed by his son's courage.
"Zhao Si, lead all the black-armored cavalry, along with Ying Jie, to hunt down Xiao Tiangui. Make sure you capture him alive!"
Ying Jie was overjoyed when he heard this order.
Zhao Si, this is my father’s most trusted general.
Now his father asked him to lead all the black-armored cavalry under his command to hunt down General Xiao Tiangui.
Just based on this trust, he has already surpassed Prince Yingqi.
As long as he could seize the opportunity and capture General Xiao Tiangui alive, it would definitely be a huge achievement.
When that time comes, follow Yan Qing to take credit and capture Ying Qi at Hulao Pass.
In front of my great achievement, it will be overshadowed.
By then, I will get the full support of my grandfather’s family.
Perhaps, the position of the crown prince should fall on Ying Jie.
When my father takes the throne,
Then Ying Jie would be the crown prince.
He will be the future emperor who rules the nine provinces.
Thinking of these beautiful visions, Ying Jie couldn't help but feel excited.
Without any hesitation, he immediately led the army to hunt down Xiao Tiangui.
After running for forty or fifty miles, the scouts under his command came to report.
It is said that Xiao Tiangui’s army is just twenty miles ahead.
After receiving this news, Ying Jie felt that a huge achievement was just around the corner.
Therefore, he did not care that the army had been fighting for a whole day and had been running for forty or fifty miles overnight, and was already exhausted.
Eager to achieve merit, he immediately killed several generals who disobeyed his orders with bloody and cruel means.
This was to spur the army not to take any rest and to quickly chase and kill Xiao Tiangui's army.
When they reached Feihu Ridge, Zhao Si saw steep cliffs, high mountains and dense forests nearby, and feared an ambush.
He also advised Ying Jie to be careful and not fall into an ambush.
However, Ying Jie, who was eager to make a contribution, simply refused to listen.
"General Zhao, Xiao Tiangui has lost Hulao Pass and is terrified. He's barely escaped, so how could he dare set up an ambush along the way?"
"Brothers, the opportunity to achieve great things and become a noble or prime minister has come!"
"Xiao Tiangui is right before our eyes. Anyone who can capture him alive will be rewarded with a hundred beautiful women, ten thousand taels of gold, and the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
Under the multiple stimulations of beauties, gold, and titles, many soldiers became excited.
At Ying Jie's command, they all rushed forward, howling and rushing, like hungry wolves that suddenly saw a delicious lamb.
However, they were only halfway there.
Suddenly, there was a huge fire on the cliffs on both sides.
All kinds of rolling stones and wooden planks rushed down madly.
Countless feathered arrows swarmed in like a swarm of locusts covering the sky...
