Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 285 Battle

  King Jing of course knew how risky Qi Shuo's plan was. It could be said that if he took a wrong step, he would lose his life.

  No, even if you didn't make a wrong move, you will die just because of bad luck.

   But as his son said, now Da Zhou is not only fighting against Northern Qi, but fighting against the three sides at the same time. Soldiers and horses, food and grass, clothing... These big heads were all transferred to the north, but they were only barely holding the pass and not letting the Qi army go further.

   One defends and the other attacks, and it is self-evident who has the upper hand. If you can't make dangerous moves and win by surprise, the defeat of Da Zhou's army will only happen sooner or later. At that time, it will not be the son who has lost his life.

   Then give it a try, you will earn a lot if you succeed.

   Lost?

   King Jing sighed deeply.

  The prosperity of the capital today is nothing but paper lanterns. Once they are defeated, the Qi army's iron cavalry will break through the border, and the splendid paper lantern will be broken with a poke.

  In that case, it is better to fight.

   Thinking of his family far away in the capital, King Jing no longer hesitated.

   "Thank you father for your support." There is light in the young man's eyes, even after these days of blood and blood, he is still clear and clean.

  King Jing looked at his smiling son, his eyes were a little sore, and he blurted out: "If I had known, I should have made you a relative."

  The funeral ceremony of the prince is not over yet, but in extraordinary circumstances, extraordinary things can be done, and no one will gossip before getting married before going to the battlefield.

   "Father is joking." Qi Shuo smiled lightly, and there was no strange color on his face.

   King Jing wanted to ask his son if he felt any regrets, but in the end he didn't say anything.

   Don't ask, don't ask, it's unlucky.

   It's just that this kid doesn't look like him at all, he can really hide his thoughts.

   King Jing thought of the unreal feeling when he saw his son heroically kill the enemy.

  It was clear that he was holding the eldest son and pretending to be sick at first, but after a long time, even himself began to feel that the eldest son was really sick, which shows that this kid has acting talent...

   "Go and prepare well." King Jing waved his hand, not letting himself think too much.

  The snow stopped that day, and Wu Ye, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, led a large number of Qi troops near the city.

   This has been going on for a while.

  At the beginning, the Zhou army would rush out of the city gate to fight, and often fled back in embarrassment after losing most of it. In this way, the damage is much more, and it will not rush out to seek abuse every time, and in the past few days, there has been no response.

   For Qi Jun, the current consumption of Zhou Jun is not enough, it would be best if he could scolded Zhou Jun to come out. If you can't shrink your head, let your soldiers take a look at Zhou Jun's cowardice, which can increase morale and make you more brave when attacking the city.

   Morale may not play a decisive role in a war, but it must play a significant role. You must know that there is a difference in victory. A big victory is a victory, and a tragic victory is also a victory. When the morale of one's own side is high, it is better to have fewer people die.

   On this day, Qi Bing scolded even worse.

   "I said long ago, this is a bunch of grandchildren who have no seeds. It's too late to hide in there to pee their pants, how dare they come out."

   "That's what the people of Zhou are like. I think they were lucky enough to win a game, and they hurriedly offered to the city to beg for mercy, like a pug..."

"Hahaha--"

  The overwhelming laughter of the Qi army made the soldiers in the city pale and almost vomited blood.

   "General, the soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, let us go out and fight with those bastards!"

   Many soldiers angrily asked General Xu for his life, but gave up hope.

   They spent a lot of time talking in the past few days, but it was still useless.

  General Xu looked at King Jing.

   Originally, when the enemy was strong and I was weak, they would not be scolded by the nose every time as a shrunken turtle. It was Prince Jing’s private proposal to keep the troops in motion like this, and it would have its own benefits at that time.

   He couldn't see the benefit, he only knew that if this continued, Da Zhou's soldiers would be suffocated to death, and he would also be suffocated to death.

   However, he is not alone here. Although he is the commander of the Northern Expedition Army, he has to obey King Jing's opinions. This is not only because King Jing came by the emperor's order, but also because of King Jing's prestige still in the north, and because he was familiar with the place, he made just the right arrangements.

   But this time, he did have a complaint in his heart.

   Not only did he not stop Prince Jing's proposal, he also supported it. How could he be such a father!

   King Jing raised his eyes to the sky, pretending he didn't see it.

  General Xu gritted his teeth secretly and glanced at the young man who had been standing quietly.

  The young man is wearing silver soft armor and looks like a pine tree. It is Qi Shuo, the heir of King Jing.

  General Xu faced the calm and solemn face, and his resentment could not be reduced.

  Although he had doubts about Prince Jing's proposal, he saw his heroic performance on the battlefield.

  The clan's children are so brave and not afraid of death, they deserve three points of his respect.

   In the end, that resentment was more of a scolding after listening to Qi Jun's abuse, and the powerlessness of the gap between the two sides.

   Qi Shuo took a step up and surrendered to General Xu: "The last general is willing to go out to the city for a battle."

  General Xu was excited for a while: Is this finally the time to stop shrinking?

   But then he couldn't help but look at King Jing.

  The morale of the Qi army is getting higher and higher. This time, the danger is not small. King Jing is not worried about his son?

   King Jing finally had a reaction: "This king will also go."

  General Xu's eyes widened immediately: "Your Highness!"

   This is not the same as what we said!

   King Jing was a little impatient: "The soldiers are all waiting, don't hesitate, general."

"But--"

   King Jing's face turned cold: "In the early years, this king had a lot of dealings with Wuye Lao Wangba. Why, if Lao Wangba can lead the army to fight, this prince is useless? Don't be long-winded, hurry up and prepare!"

  If he doesn't go into battle, how can he attract most of the enemy's attention and make it easier for his son to act?

   So the city gate suddenly opened amid the scolding of the Qi army.

When    rode his horse and rushed out, Qi Shuo whispered to the dark guard who was following him: "Protect the prince."

   "Come on!" The Da Zhou soldiers who had been holding back for many days were either riding horses or running, like a swift tornado, swept into the battlefield.

  Because of many days of scolding without success, although Qi Jun had high confidence and saw Zhou Jun in the dust, it was inevitable that he was a little slack in thinking.

   They didn't expect that the Zhou Army suddenly faced off today.

   Under the astonishment, the thick smoke splashed by Zhou Jun's iron cavalry approached, and he finally reacted.

   Wuye saw the leader clearly, and shouted excitedly: "Give it to me, and capture King Jing of the Great Zhou!"

   He tightened the reins, accelerated his speed, and headed straight for King Jing, his red eyes filled with excitement.

   As long as King Jing is captured, these Zhou troops who are stubbornly resisting are just a mess of sand, and they will collapse in an instant. At that time, it is not uncommon to relinquish the land and indemnify the princess and beauties. The greatest benefit is to return the fertile land of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty.

   The soldiers and horses of the two sides were quickly entangled with each other.

   In the chaos, Qi Shuo's goal has always been clear, that is, Wu Ye's nephew, Li Li.
