Chapter 371 The Jin Army is Defeat

It’s Wu Quanwen’s voice!

Wen Chengjie was slightly stunned, then strode to the city wall to look down, and frightened Xu Heng next to him so much that he quickly picked up his shield and stood in front of Wen Chengjie.

"Guard, be careful of arrows!"

"Step aside!!"

Wen Chengjie pushed Xu Heng away with force, his eyes fixed on the figure below who was facing away from the city gate.

"It's the third prince..."

Wen Chengjie said in a low, trembling voice, and then suddenly yelled to everyone around him.

"The Jin army commander was beheaded! We won!!"

Wen Chengjie's voice carried a sense of relief after extreme repression.

Hearing his shout, everyone on the city wall was stunned.

The Yanzhou army elites who had just arrived couldn't believe that they had just joined the battlefield and had already won.

The Qingzhou city defenders on the city wall and the surviving conscripted men were either howling to the sky or bursting into tears.

All kinds of people, crazy and silly...

There are also sober people among them.

When He Hong heard Wen Chengjie whisper the words "Third Prince", he ran to the city wall and looked down.

After seeing Wu Quanwen's back clearly below, he jumped directly off the city wall without any hesitation.

"I am late, please punish me, Your Highness."

He Hong came closer and whispered to Wu Quanwen.

"It's not too late." Wu Quanwen, covered in blood, smiled and said, "You came just in time!"

As Wu Quanwen spoke, figures began to fall from the city wall behind, pulling on ropes. There were at least two or three hundred people.

Although all of them were wearing the silver armor of the Wu army, there were only dozens of them who were internal force warriors within the Yanzhou army.

The rest were warriors who voluntarily joined the Yanzhou Army along the way and wanted to defend Qingzhou City together.

The army has strict discipline and cannot recruit these warriors of unknown origin.

He Hong even knew that there must be hidden agents of the Jin soldiers among these warriors, but he couldn't care less.

The war in Qingzhou was tense and help was needed right now. With so many warriors wanting to help, how could he refuse?

So they made special arrangements for the matter and accepted all the warriors who came and organized them into a battalion.

At this time, all these people stood behind him.

"Can't these people go through the city gate?"

On the city wall, Wen Chengjie sighed helplessly.

The height of more than ten feet from the city wall is still very dangerous for internal force warriors. If they jump down directly, they may hurt their muscles and bones if they are not careful.

Therefore, almost all internal force warriors did the same as Lu You, jumping down while pulling the rope. Many of them even cut the wooden hook on the rope directly for convenience.

These things are very difficult to reproduce.

Looking at the commander's flag that had been replaced behind him, Wen Chengjie looked at the lieutenant general of the Yanzhou army next to him.

"Open the city gate and lead your men out to fight."

The lieutenant general was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't it too risky? We only have 5,000 people now. If we open the city gate, we can't withstand the strong attack of more than 100,000 Jin soldiers."

Wen Chengjie reached out and patted the lieutenant general on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, if Hui Lantu dies, the Jin soldiers will be in chaos."

"When they saw the flag with the Chinese character 'He' on it, they knew that reinforcements from the Yanzhou Army had arrived."

"Let alone storming the city, even if we open all four gates, they won't dare to come in."

"Qingzhou City can never be conquered again."

The lieutenant general was still hesitating when he heard the sound of fighting below. He lay on the city wall and looked over, only to see Wu Quanwen and He Hong leading a group of warriors to fight with the Jin soldiers.

If he still doesn't know how to choose at this time, then he will no longer have to serve as a lieutenant general.

"Open the city gates! Fight the enemy!!"

The lieutenant general did not lead all the Yanzhou troops he brought out of the city, but only led half of the troops and rushed out with more than 2,000 people.

And these less than 3,000 people, under the leadership of Wu Quanwen and He Hong, were like wolves among a flock of sheep, and the chasing Jin soldiers were completely defeated.

Standing on the city wall, Wen Chengjie looked quietly towards the west.

The Jin soldiers were approaching like a raging wave, seemingly ready to tear apart everything in their path.

Now the troops are retreating, like a roaring tide, leaving only corpses on the ground.

In fact, even if Hui Lantu died, the Jin soldiers still had a chance of winning.

As long as someone can quickly take over the position of the Grand Commander and re-coordinate the siege, the Qingzhou City may not be impossible to capture.

But no one can take this position.

Aliban and Abuhan were the right-hand men of the Grand Tutor.

But these two people are not talented in commanding troops, they are just martial artists with the ability to transform their energy.

Large-scale military operations are not about group warfare. You can't command them by just holding a flag and shouting "attack the city."

Moreover, after Hui Lantu lost his trace after being chased by Lu You, they could never have imagined that the Jin army would be defeated so quickly.

In their view, the Jin soldiers had already entered the city, and as long as they did not sound the retreat horn, it was only a matter of time before they captured the Qingzhou city.

At that time, Hui Lantu had lost an arm and was poisoned by a hooked-bellied blind snake. Even if he survived, his cultivation would be damaged and he would no longer be valued by King Jin.

And they naturally would not choose to continue following a useless person with one arm who had lost his ability to cultivate his energy.

Therefore, the two of them almost unanimously set their sights on Wanyan Kang. As long as they could kill the prince who had returned and bring his head back to Jinting, they would replace Huilantu and live a glorious life.

This is also the reason why Wu Quanwen, who had been entangled, was able to escape and save Lu You.

As for the commanders who could have taken over the command, there were two of them, the unfortunate Zhuo Lubin and Huite Hanu, both of whom died at Sanhuaipo.

It is said that every sip and every bite is predestined, and the orchid's fruiting must have a reason.

Some things in this world are just like this.

Hui Lantu could not have imagined that when he was preparing to kill Wanyan Kang during the siege.

The gears of fate began to turn, and the Jin soldiers began to move towards failure.

Although Wu Quanwen and He Hong led their troops to charge, they did not get too greedy for credit. They just scared the Jin soldiers away and then returned to the city.

It is unrealistic for two or three thousand people to kill hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers.

"I just regret that the main force hasn't arrived yet, otherwise I would have killed them all here."

On the city wall, He Hong looked down and thought it was a pity.

Seeing He Hong like this, Wen Chengjie spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, they can't run far."

"Starting from the official road ten miles west, all the way to Qingning County, most of the roads are mountainous."

"The food in the Jin soldiers' camp was burned to ashes by the warriors of Cangyun Sect. In order to prevent the Jin soldiers from Qingning County from delivering food and fodder to them, I sent people to go around and set fire to the forest over there."

"It would take at least two days to burn down the dozens of miles of forest, and during this time the official roads would be closed to traffic."

"More than 100,000 of them had no food or water, and could not walk on the main roads, so they had to hide in the mountains."

"Let them run for an hour. I have ordered all the people in the city to start cooking."

"Wait until all the Yanzhou troops arrive, and then chase them after you have eaten and drunk enough. I guarantee that not many of them will escape."
