Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 136 Chu Shizhao shoots the halberd at the gate! Chu Shizhao appears at the peak of Fenglangjuxu!!!

As the night deepened, Emperor Yongjin lit a lamp in the palace and looked into the distance. The weather was becoming increasingly cold at this time of year.

The few defenders on the top of Chang'an City were waiting quietly for the movements outside the city. The soldiers who were keeping watch did not have the same good conditions as in the palace. Their faces were red from the cold, but they did not dare to relax at all.

Emperor Yongjin was eagerly waiting in the palace, and it was also difficult for the ministers in Chang'an City to sleep.

Outside the city gate, only a few remnants of the Great Zhou were seen holding tattered battle flags and fleeing towards the gate of Chang'an.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on guard at the city gate were horrified. It was because the army before them, which looked like a defeated army, seemed to be the Three Prefectures Army that had gone out of the city with great enthusiasm to fight the bandits.

And in the distance, behind these remnants, there seemed to be some Huns riding war horses chasing them continuously.

The defenders on the city wall were still hesitating whether to lower the drawbridge, but they saw the remnants of the army who were about to flee back to Chang'an suddenly turned back.

Only one person was riding alone and heading towards Chang'an.

When the news of Wu Zhen's defeat reached the palace.

The whole Chang'an fell into unprecedented panic.

Many people thought that Wu Zhen’s proactive attack might not necessarily yield much results, but they never thought that such a bad result would occur.

Most of the ministers even felt that even if the attack on the camp failed, Wu Zhen could at least retreat. At worst, he could go back and defend Chang'an.

But who could have imagined that this attack on the camp not only failed, but also destroyed the Zhou Dynasty's vital forces in Chang'an.

Emperor Yongjin realized for the first time that the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to perish in his hands. At this moment, he even had the urge to commit suicide in front of the ancestral temple to apologize.

After learning the news, many ministers in Chang'an wanted to rush to the palace to meet the emperor.

The impact of Wu Zhen's defeat was too great.

No matter life or death.

Wu Zhen's single battle wiped out all of Chang'an's military forces, plunging the Great Zhou Dynasty into a vortex of chaos.

This not only made the imperial court lose all its face in front of the Huns, but more importantly, Chang'an was now like an air defense.

How to deal with the Huns next?

The disastrous war report made Emperor Yongjin's face pale. What made Emperor Yongjin most uneasy was that he had lost such an important Three Prefectures Army, the central force that the court relied on.

What could the imperial court use to control those powerful military governors?

There were so many examples in previous dynasties about the consequences of a weak central government and strong local governments, which were enough for Emperor Yongjin to learn from.

Emperor Yongjin did not care about anything else. When he met with the ministers again, he thought of Chu Shizhao who was going to the war with the army, and he could not hide his sadness.

If we had listened to Chu Shizhao's advice earlier and defended Chang'an with solid defense, we wouldn't have had to fight this battle and put the Zhou Dynasty in such a dangerous situation.

This time, even the nobles among the famous families in Jingzhao were panicked.

They did not expect Wu Zhen to be so rotten. Before the expedition, Wu Zhen vowed that even if something went wrong, not too many soldiers would be lost, and at most they could just retreat back to Chang'an.

It's better now.

None of the three prefectures' troops who went out to fight returned to the court, leaving a heated bed for all the civil and military officials to "enjoy".

"Your Majesty, the only way for us to preserve our usefulness is to move south." At this time, Du Zhiyun could only propose the strategy of moving south.

No one wants to leave their hometown and move south.

However, the Huns were now powerful and Chang'an had no ability to resist. If Chang'an wanted to save itself, it had no choice but to migrate south.

"What about the people in Chang'an?" Emperor Yongjin was unwilling to move south from the bottom of his heart.

Migrating south means giving up the entire north, and it would be very difficult to come back. In history books, he, the Emperor Yongjin, would have to bear this bad reputation.

He knew very well that once he moved south, there would be no way back.

Du Zhiyun stopped talking too.

When the imperial court moved south, these civil and military officials, these princes and generals would definitely be able to leave.

But it’s hard to say about the common people.

If they had more sinister intentions, these people could even be used to stop the Huns and serve as the first line of buffer, especially in the first place. If the Huns wanted to digest Chang'an, they would not come to chase them.

After the war, the Huns also wanted benefits.

By plundering the people of Chang'an, they would have at least two or three days to cross the river to the south.

In Chang'an, these high-ranking officials all have the habit of raising horses, so it is very easy for them to escape.

Emperor Yongjin valued face more than anything else, otherwise he would not have agreed to Wu Zhen's idea of ​​taking the initiative.

He just couldn't swallow this.

As the ruler of a superior country, who could tolerate a small barbarian riding on his head?

If he is asked to move south now, he will lose both face and dignity, which is like cutting off the flesh of Emperor Yongjin.

"It is an honor for a son to die for his father, but it is a shame for a father." Emperor Yongjin said with a gloomy face, "It is absolutely impossible for me to move south. If you want to leave, go ahead."

go?
If Emperor Yongjin doesn't leave, who else dares to leave?
At this time, Du Zhiyun also did not dare to make any suggestions.

The current Emperor Yongjin is like a gambler who has lost all his money. Having failed in his bet on Wu Zhen, he wants to try again until he can turn things around.

"Gather the young and strong men in Chang'an, give them weapons, and defend Chang'an." Emperor Yongjin issued his order, "Chang'an has a large population, and the Xiongnu have no means of attacking the city, so we must fight them head-on."

And outside Chang'an.

Chu Shizhao had already led his troops to a wilderness, holding a spear and holding his breath.

Chu Shizhao's current body obviously cannot keep up with his skills.

The simulation gave Chu Shizhao a lot of combat experience in his memory, but Chu Shizhao's physique had not yet evolved.

But fortunately, Chu Shizhao still has a card.

Experience card of the biography of "Fenglangjuxu·Chu Shizhao".

As long as he uses this experience card, Chu Shizhao can immediately experience the heyday of this highlight moment.

This is also the reason why Chu Shizhao has the confidence to attack the camp again.

At this point, we can only brave the wind and waves to find the few available fighter planes.

"Yang Fang, go get a spear with a red tassel." Chu Shizhao looked at his troops whose morale was getting lower and lower, and spoke to Yang Fang.

After the failed attack on the camp and the need to hide everywhere waiting for an opportunity to fight, the morale of his troops dropped quickly.

Seeing his colleagues being chased and shot by the Huns, and seeing his own generals falling off their horses and dying, Chu Shizhao's troops at this time were strictly speaking a defeated army. The only special thing about them was that they had temporarily maintained their intact organization.

"Soldiers, it is impossible for us to escape back to Chang'an now." Chu Shizhao asked the soldiers to gather together.

"They are much more powerful than General Wu, and are chasing our fleeing colleagues everywhere. As you can see, those defeated soldiers who abandoned their troops and marched alone were defeated one by one by the Huns and had their heads chopped off." "Now, the only way for us to have a chance to return home alive is to gather together."

"I know that you soldiers are confused as to why I did not gather my troops and return to Chang'an at this time, but instead attacked the Xiongnu camp again."

"Because now the Huns have won a battle, they are very proud, they think they are invincible and can do whatever they want to us."

"They sent out their elite troops to pursue us everywhere. Therefore, I believe that the Xiongnu camp is not fortified now. It is very likely that the remnants of the enemy army that General Wu injured for us are left behind."

"So, now is our chance to make achievements."

"If we succeed, we will serve the country and rectify the world. We will all be heroes who saved the country from danger. If we fail, we will still be heroes who have walked through this world."

Chu Shizhao pointed to the distance and asked Yang Fang to hold up a gun with a long tassel on the grass.

"Give me my bow." Chu Shizhao picked up the longbow handed to him by his personal guard.

Chu Shizhao muttered to himself.

The experience card of the biography of "Fenglangjuxu·Chu Shizhao" has been used, and the next second Chu Shizhao raised the bow as if assisted by God.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow at the upright spear, hitting exactly where Hongying was.

The long fluttering red tassel fell to the ground. The personal guards, soldiers beside Chu Shizhao, and even Yang Fang and Wang Huai, all froze in place instantly, staring at what was happening before their eyes, losing the ability to think.

This distance, this force, this accuracy.

Is Chu Shizhao's archery skills something that ordinary people can possess? !
Under this situation, the army, which had originally been in low morale, suddenly became excited. With such a person as their commander, what kind of battle would they not be able to win? !
You know, this is not just luck.

It was Chu Shizhao who specifically requested that the bow be taken and arrows be shot in this way, and Chu Shizhao also performed the shooting skill in this way. For this reason alone, anyone would feel in awe when facing Chu Shizhao.

This is equivalent to having the ability to shoot arrows through willow trees and defeat enemy generals from a distance of a hundred meters.

The next second, Chu Shizhao picked up the military flag, looked at the soldiers around him, and shouted: "Gentlemen, follow me to charge the enemy!!!"

At this moment, Chu Shizhao, who took over the military flag and rushed to the front, made the entire Northern Army seem like a different unit.

Taking advantage of the night that was about to dawn, they launched a charge towards the location of the Xiongnu royal court with no retreat.

Now everyone knows that the Huns have sent their elite troops to pursue the defeated remnants. There is no way to retreat, so they have to fight their way out.

Invisibly, there is already a momentum of a do-or-die battle, and morale has almost reached its peak.

The Hun camp in the distance was also collecting the remnants of the situation, and many soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were taken prisoner.

As a general, Wu Zhen was killed in the chaos.

In such a melee, it was too difficult to capture the commander alive. Even if the Huns wanted to capture Wu Zhen alive, he would not let them do so. He would rather commit suicide than give them such an opportunity.

Now, the commander-in-chief Wuwei, who was guarding the Hun camp, was drinking with other Hun nobles in the tent.

This great victory made them immersed in the joy of victory.

In fact, they won this victory by luck.

If we don't take special precautions, we might suffer great losses.

After all, no one expected that the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had weak field combat capabilities, would choose to take the initiative to fight.

However, there was no peace within the Great Zhou Dynasty. A Great Zhou general who had once cooperated with them in the city secretly told them that there might be a surprise attack tonight.

So they took advantage of the enemy's strategy and set up an ambush in the camp. Now that they had achieved victory, in order to expand their advantage, they sent out the most powerful warriors among the Huns to pursue the remaining troops of the Great Zhou.

As long as they kill all these people, Chang'an will be theirs and they will be able to capture it soon.

Thinking that the wealthy capital of the Great Zhou was about to be captured by them, Wu Wei could not help singing and dancing.

This is the Great Zhou Dynasty where gold is everywhere!

Just as Uwe couldn't help humming a little song from his hometown, preparing to welcome the huge harvest this time in the south, deafening shouts of killing suddenly rang out outside the tent.

"Who?" Uwe was startled.

Could it be that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a surprise attack force, or that the Great Zhou Dynasty’s troops have arrived to support the king?
The Huns' camp was also now strong on the outside but weak on the inside, with wounded soldiers everywhere. Although they had set an ambush and wiped out Wu Zhen's troops, Wu Zhen was not incompetent. Before he died in battle, he still caused considerable trouble to the Huns.

Now the main elite forces of the Huns went to pursue the remnants. There were actually not many Huns warriors who could really fight in the camp. What was worse was that many people were injured and were resting.

Outside the tent, Chu Shizhao took the lead and charged into the Huns' camp.

Chu Shizhao was enjoying the peak combat power of his highlight moment. During the Fenglangjuxu bonus period, Chu Shizhao's combat power value reached 98 points.

The bravest of the three armies?

The bravest one in Wolf Mountain!

Chu Shizhao rushed into the tent, of course, to do everything he could at his peak moment and within the limited experience time.

He went straight to the Huns who were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and looked like they had some status and background.

With a positioning function comparable to Ma Chao's, Chu Shizhao kept his eyes on the most prominent Huns' tent and looked at the burly man who had just walked out.

As soon as Wu Wei walked out of the tent, he saw a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty wearing armor and riding a horse as if he was in an empty space. He suddenly stood still and was stunned for a few seconds.

When he found that Chu Shizhao was coming towards him, he quickly picked up his weapon and tried to resist, but without a warhorse, Wu Wei could not withstand such an attack.

Chu Shizhao easily penetrated the enemy's position, and the spear in his hand stabbed towards Wu Wei's throat and pierced into Wu Wei's neck.

The Hun camp was in chaos.

The main reason was that all the Huns in the tents did not understand the situation clearly, and they did not expect that just after they had dealt with a group of Great Zhou troops that attacked the camp, another Great Zhou army suddenly arrived.

Moreover, this army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was obviously not of the same level as the previous army.

Their morale was high like mad beasts, and every one of them seemed to be bloodthirsty. Even if one fell down, they would drag someone to death. Some even wanted to throw away their weapons to kill a Hun when they fell.

Some even threw away their weapons when the blades were bent, and fought with their bare hands, using their teeth and fists to strike hard.

Such an impact scared many Huns on the spot.

The main reason is that I have seen ferocious enemies, but I have never seen a madman like this who would risk his life for another’s.

Of course, Chu Shizhao, who was fighting at the forefront and holding the military flag high like a god of war, was the backbone of the entire army.

Everyone surrounded Chu Shizhao and rushed forward.

However, when the Huns realized that Chu Shizhao was the commander of this army, the fall of Uwei caused great problems for the Huns' command, and they were unable to organize an effective defense.

However, when entering a close combat environment, the Huns' horse combat capabilities could not be demonstrated. Instead, the Zhou Dynasty showed an amazing advantage in close combat.

Chu Shizhao lifted up Wu Wei's head and shouted, "Who else is the enemy general?!"

"Do you dare to fight me together?"
