Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The biggest responsibility of the Imperial City Guards is not just to participate in the battlefield.

They enjoyed the best military treatment in the Yan Dynasty and received the most rigorous training, with their goal always being to protect the imperial power and the imperial city.

Therefore, their training task has always been how to keep the enemy outside the safe range of the imperial city.

Even if I die, I will never let the enemy enter the imperial city.

Therefore, compared with traditional troops, his primary goal in combat is not to defeat the enemy.

But destroy!

Even if it costs one's life, as long as the threat can be completely eliminated, the mission will be accomplished.

After learning all this.

Liu Chuang naturally didn't want this group of people to be associated with the Huozi Camp.

"Don't let these lunatics get close!"

"Use massive firepower!"

The Fire Camp is not trained to be death squads.

They are all Daqian's precious treasures, so naturally it is impossible for them to fight to the death with these imperial city guards.

As Liu Chuang finished speaking, dozens of chariots quickly came from the rear to support and stopped the imperial city guards outside.

"Just waiting for you."

I thought Zuo Hu would order his men to retreat after seeing this, but unexpectedly he actually arranged for his men to rush forward.

Liu Chuang saw that the enemy troops were holding a lot of thick packages.

No need to think too much, this is absolutely dynamite!

boom!

With an explosion, the tank in the front shook violently three times!

Although the tank can withstand this level of explosion thanks to its strong steel plates.

But the opponent's explosive packs are not limited to these!

The imperial guards behind were like dumplings, throwing themselves onto the chariot one by one.

The explosive packs exploded one after another, and even the thick steel plates of the tank could not withstand it.

Soon, Zuo Hu destroyed all of Daqian's chariots.

But this was not the end. After seeing that these chariots finally could not move, he directly opened his mouth and shouted to his men:

"Collect all the wreckage of the chariots!"

Qin Ming's chariots performed remarkably well on the battlefield, which also attracted the attention of the royal high-ranking officials.

They have always wanted to steal technology from Qin Ming.

However, Qin Ming has always been suppressing the battle on the front line.

There are not many opportunities to collect the wreckage.

It just so happened that all the guards of the imperial city arrived.

With their strength, they can definitely take all these chariots into their possession.

Even if it has been blown up, it is still of great research value.

"Protect the wreckage of the chariot!"

Now Liu Chuang finally became a little anxious, because their technology has always been very strong.

But these technologies have high barriers.

No one else can get anything from Qin Ming for research.

Even if you get it, you may not be able to study it clearly.

But technology will always make breakthroughs. All they need to do now is to get as much materials from Qin Ming as possible.

"I was afraid you wouldn't come."

Zuo Hu snorted coldly, and ordered his men to quickly protect the wreckage, and then fought with Liu Chuang.

The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly two hours, and even the Fire Camp suffered heavy casualties when facing the imperial city guards.

After Liu Chuang tried his best to get close to the wreckage, he also ordered the soldiers to use their nitro explosives to directly blow up the tanks.

This doesn't leave the other party with much to study.

Zuo Hu’s goal has been achieved.

As their battle ended in a fierce atmosphere.

Liu Chuang had also used up most of his gunpowder, and it was likely that the Huozi Camp would not have much gunpowder left to use.

Unless there is someone in the rear who can replenish them.

But it is obvious that this is absolutely impossible.

After returning to the city.

Guo Xin quickly ran over and congratulated Zuo Hu with a flattering look on his face:

"Congratulations, General, on your victory! You've finally dealt a heavy blow to Liu Chuang's troops!"

"It's not over yet. Move all your troops to the rear and block their transportation routes."

Although Zuo Hu won the battle today, their losses were also quite heavy.

The number of casualties was three times that of the Fire Camp.

The most terrifying thing is that such casualties are the first of their kind in the entire dynasty.

It was common for many ordinary troops to suffer casualties more than ten times greater when facing the Daqian Iron Cavalry.

So Zuo Hu didn't dare to take it lightly at all.

As soon as he returned to the city, he quickly began to deploy the next round of operations. For him, the most important thing to do now was to stabilize the situation.

As long as the status quo can be maintained, Liu Chuang will be a lamb to be slaughtered. If Zuo Hu launches a few more rounds of attacks on him, he can even completely annex Liu Chuang's troops.

However, there is one thing that is very troublesome, and that is the imperial guards assigned to him by the palace.

The number of casualties is too great now, exceeding 80,000!

In all these years, the imperial army has never suffered so many losses.

In the eyes of those high-ranking officials in the imperial palace, even the Tiger Roar Guards could be lost.

But the guards of the imperial city are not necessarily so.

Zuo Hu pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote a letter.

"Go and deliver this letter to His Majesty."

"Yes!"

As long as Emperor Yan supports him, Zuo Hu can do it with confidence.

It doesn’t matter even if there are many voices of opposition in the court.

……

On the other side, Qin Ming had already received the battlefield report from Liu Chuang.

After watching all this, Qin Ming sighed slowly.

Yan Ziqiong, who was standing by, saw him like this and immediately stepped forward and said softly:

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Liu Chuang may have to retreat."

"Is it still Zuo Hu's problem?"

"Yes, his troops are indeed powerful. They didn't give us any breathing space. Now our retreat is cut off, but Liu Chuang is injured and only has 30% of his gunpowder left."

The reason why the people of the Fire Camp are invincible is because Qin Ming provides them with the most sufficient supplies.

But now the supply from the rear has been cut off, and it will take at least a few days to break through the siege and deliver the supplies to them.

Even if it can be delivered, there is a high probability that it will encounter many obstacles along the way.

At this time, Qin Ming chose not to take risks and let them retreat.

The reason is very simple. The troops such as the Fire Camp are talents that he has spent a lot of effort to cultivate.

If they were allowed to sacrifice empty-handed in the war, it would have a huge impact on Qin Ming.

They'll have another chance to break in later.

There is no need to fight to the death with Zuo Hu here.

"So let them retreat to the Yun family now?"

After understanding Qin Ming's thoughts, Yan Ziqiong spoke immediately.

Qin Ming slowly shook his head and pointed to the battle line behind them.

"We can't retreat now, but we can avoid fighting."

After seeing the direction of Qin Ming's finger, Yan Ziqiong immediately covered her mouth.

"Zuo Hu actually even calculated this step!"

The soldiers he had arranged in advance to block the Yun family's transport team can now stop Liu Chuang from evacuating.

At this moment, Liu Chuang has no choice but to fight with Zuo Hu!

"Then why did you let Liu Chuang withdraw?"

Suddenly, Yan Ziqiong thought of something wrong and immediately looked at Qin Ming.
