The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 185: The Defeat of the Shanrong Army

After saying that, Lu Hu swung the halberd and smashed it towards Chu Xiong. This halberd was also specially made for him by Zixuan.

When Chu Xiong saw Lu Hu raising his halberd to hit him, he immediately blocked it with the halberd handle.

He wanted to test Lu Hu's strength. Then he heard a crack! a snap! a thud! an ah!

Everyone saw that Lu Hu's halberd smashed Chu Xiong's halberd into two pieces, and the halberd head hit Chu Xiong's head.

Immediately, Chu Xiong's head was smashed into pieces, and red and white brain matter immediately flowed out. Chu Xiong screamed and his body fell off the horse.

At this time, Zi Ri's chariot also arrived. When he saw Chu Xiong was killed by Lu Hu in one move, he was immediately overjoyed.

He raised his head and shouted to the sky, "General Zhao! Lu Hu has avenged you! You can go with peace of mind!"

Lu Hu asked doubtfully, "Sir! Could this man be the murderer who killed General Zhao?"

Zi Ri nodded and said, "Yes, General Lu, this man is the Shanrong general Chu Xiong!"

"It was he who killed General Zhao, Lu Hu! Thank you for avenging General Zhao!"

Lu Hu waved his hand and said, "Sir, you don't have to be polite. It's his good fortune that a young man like this can die at my hands!"

When the Shanrong soldiers saw Chu Xiong killed by Lu Hu in one blow, they were immediately frightened and retreated.

Zhongshan was supervising the battle from the rear. Seeing the soldiers in front of him stagnated, he immediately shouted, "What's going on? Why aren't you attacking?"

A soldier hurried over to report: "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! General Chu has been killed!"

Ah! Zhongshan was so frightened when he heard this that he almost fell off the chariot. His subordinates quickly supported him.

After recovering from his shock, Zhongshan was furious and shouted, "General Chu! Kill me if you can!"

Immediately, he felt dizzy, his blood was rushing up, his heart felt stuffy, and his throat felt sweet.

Puff! A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Terrified, his subordinates quickly helped him sit down, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Your Majesty! Are you alright?"

Just as Zhongshan was about to speak, he heard the neighing of war horses in front of him and the shouts of killing reaching the sky.

A soldier ran over in a panic and shouted, "My king, this is bad! Reinforcements from Yan have arrived!"

Before he finished speaking, countless crossbow arrows flew over like raindrops.

In an instant, the Shanrong army was in chaos, and countless soldiers were hit by crossbow arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

When Zhongshan saw that things were going badly, he immediately ordered his men to retreat out of the city.

At this time, Lu Hu, following Zixuan's orders, had led his men to attack the north gate city wall.

Soon, all the Shanrong soldiers on the city wall were killed.

He closed the city gates tightly again, and stood on his chariot with a halberd in his hand to block the city entrance.

By this time it was already daybreak, and the Shanrong troops were so defeated that they abandoned their weapons and armor and were in complete disarray.

Most of the 100,000-strong army had been killed or wounded, and the remaining tens of thousands were like stray dogs, all retreating towards the north gate.

Zhongshan lay diagonally in the arms of a soldier. He looked at the tragic situation of his troops and closed his eyes helplessly.

I murmured to myself, "It's over! A hundred thousand troops! This is the entire Shanrong force."

It seems that the entire army will be wiped out this time. It’s strange, when did the Yan army become so powerful?

Whose army is this reinforcement from, and why is its combat effectiveness so strong?

He struggled to sit up straight, called over a subordinate and asked, "Do you know whose unit this reinforcement belongs to?"

The subordinate looked at the army on the opposite side and said, "Your Majesty!"

“I noticed that the totem on the enemy’s flag was embroidered with a falcon, and next to it was written “Fugui City Defense Army”.

"The general's flag also had the words 'General Qi's Northern Expedition' written on it, with a big 'Zi' in the middle.

"It should be Zixuan, the lord of Fugui City in Qi State, who personally led his troops to reinforce Yan City."

"Ah? Fuguicheng Zixuan's troops, doesn't she stay out of the disputes among the vassal states? Why did she come here in person this time?"

The subordinate laughed bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know that Gongzi Ri is the second son of Zixuan City Lord?"

"What? Young Master Ri is the second son of City Lord Zixuan! How come this king doesn't know?"

"Why didn't you report it earlier? We can't afford to offend Fugui City!"

"Your Majesty, everyone knows that Young Master Ri is the second son of Zixuan City Lord. How could you not know?"

"We thought you knew about this, so we didn't report it to you."

As the two were talking, tens of thousands of them quickly retreated to the north gate of the city.

Zhongshan looked up and saw that all the soldiers standing on the city wall were from Fugui City.

My heart sank. Oh no! The North Gate had also been taken back by them. It looked like I was in great danger this time.

Seeing the Shanrong troops retreating in front of him, Lu Hu immediately pointed his halberd at them and shouted, "Listen up!"

"My king has said this! Those who surrender will not be killed! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

When the Shanrong soldiers heard that they would not die if they surrendered, they all threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Seeing that all the soldiers had surrendered, Zhongshan closed his eyes helplessly.

Zi Ri stood beside his mother and pointed at a luxurious chariot and shouted, "Mother!"

"The one sitting in that carriage is Shanrong Chanyu Zhongshan Xiaoduo! My son will have him tied up and brought to you right away!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several soldiers came over immediately.

Zi Ri pointed at the chariot and said, "Go over there and tie up the Chanyu of Zhongshan and bring him to me!"

"Yes! Yes!" the soldiers answered and ran towards the chariot.

A moment later, Zhongshan Xiaoduo was brought over tied up.

Zi Ri kicked him to the ground and said to his mother, "Mother! The Thirteenth Princess was killed by him!"

Zixuan looked at him coldly and asked, "Are you the Chanyu of Shanrong? Did you kill the Thirteenth Princess?"

Zhongshan raised his head proudly and said, "That's right! I am the Chanyu of Shanrong! I was also the one who killed the Thirteenth Princess!"

"You are free to do whatever you want with me! You'd better give me some quick death!"

Zixuan sneered, "Zhongshan Xiaoduo, you killed the Thirteenth Princess. How could the King of Yan let you die so easily?"

"Did you know that the Thirteenth Princess is not only the Prince of Yan's sister, but also my second daughter-in-law?"

Zhongshan was stunned: "What did you say? The Thirteenth Princess is your daughter-in-law?"

"Didn't the King of Yan betroth her to me? How did she become your daughter-in-law?"

"You don't need to know so much! You raped my daughter-in-law! According to the laws of Fugui City, you should be castrated! Someone, come!"

She waved to the military doctor beside her and said, "Now you will perform the castration on Zhongshan Chanyu."

"Remember, don't let him die! I still have to hand him over to the King of Yan!"

The military doctor clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your orders!"
