The next day, Zhao Chen came to the government office early in the morning to meet Wang Jian and receive his military orders.
After Zhao Chen came out of the government office, he went out of the city and went to the place where the army was stationed. He gathered 15,000 soldiers and brought siege weapons, rations, arrows, and other items with him.
After the army was ready, he, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and the others led the army and set off.
"Let's go, go!" Zhao Chen looked back at Lu County, the city he had conquered, and said to the general beside him.
"Yes, order the army to move out." The soldiers agreed.
The 18,000 soldiers were divided into three rows, led by Zhao Chen, Xu Rong, and Gao Shun.
A long black dragon began to move slowly.”
In the rear, there were also a large number of siege weapons that could be assembled, such as ladders, ranches, charging vehicles, ramming logs, and catapults. It could be said that they were fully equipped and had put in a lot of effort.
Wang Ben's troops, who were leading the 20,000-strong army, also began to move towards the east.
Just as Zhao Chen and the others were preparing to attack the western city, in a prosperous city in the west, in the center of the magnificent City Lord's Mansion.
A middle-aged man with a pale face, a tall and thin figure, and a refined expression was sitting in the hall. He was drinking wine and watching the beautiful dancers dance. He was very intoxicated.
He was the City Lord of Fei County, Huang Yu.
He was also the superior of General Jingyu, whom Zhao Chen had just defeated.
He wasn't worried about General Jing Yu's safety at all. Although he hadn't heard from them for two days, he still didn't think that there was anything at the border of Zhao that could threaten the 5,000-strong army he and the other city lords had formed.
He thought that they might have encountered something and could not report it in time.
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Therefore, he still ate, drank, and played every day, just like before.
Just as he was hugging his beautiful dancer and drinking, his hands were still caressing her body.
An old man who looked like a butler ran in with a panicked expression. He even fell in front of the door because of his panic.
"Master, no, something bad has happened. General Jingyu is back." He scrambled to Huang Yu's side.
"What's going on? Can't you see that I'm busy? What was wrong with General Jingyu's return? Isn't that a good thing?" Huang Yu said to his butler in a deep voice, his face filled with anger as if his good deed had been ruined.
"No, no, General Jingyu only brought back less than thirty people, and all of them were injured. The rest were completely wiped out!”Seeing that his master was angry, the butler quickly told him everything.
"What?! What's going on? Why are there only these people left? Where's my nephew? Quick, let him come in quickly and clear things up.”
Huang Yu could not help but be shocked. The wine glass that he had raised fell to the ground. He pushed the dancer away and let her go. He quickly got up and went to the butler.
"Yes, yes. Master, I'll let him in immediately.”The butler quickly stood up and summoned Jingyu for questioning.
"What should we do? How could the entire army be wiped out? Could it be that the Qin army had attacked? No, that wouldn't happen.
I was thinking too much." Huang Yu paced back and forth in the hall.
He was only worried about what he would do if the Qin army attacked. He was not worried about his nephew's life at all.
He was simply a model of stupidity and incompetence. He was also blind to his handsome appearance. He was simply a gold coat on the outside but a rotten one on the inside.
Jing Yu's clothes were tattered, and he looked haggard and tired. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
He followed the butler to Huang Yu and knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness.
"This general has committed a crime, causing the 5,000 strong army and the City Lord's nephew to die on the battlefield.”
"You deserve to die! What was going on? Who was the enemy?”When Huang Yu saw him, he was furious.
"I was careless and received news that the enemy had used fire to destroy the army. Only thirty of us broke out of the encirclement, and the rest died on the battlefield.
The enemy is the Qin army in black clothes and armor. They have sent troops to attack our country. City Lord, please take precautions as soon as possible.”
Jing Yu complained with a sorrowful expression.
When Huang Yu heard his words, he knew that his premonition had come true. He didn't scold Jing Yu anymore. He knew that if he wanted to defend the city against the Qin army's attack, he would have to rely on Jing Yu.
Therefore, she comforted him and asked him to treat his injuries. Alright, you didn't mean it. You should go down and treat your injuries. After you're healed, you still have to defend the city. Go."
"Thank you, sir." Under the butler's lead, Jing Yu slowly left the hall and went to treat his injuries.
On the other side, Zhao Chen, Xu Rong, and the others were about to split up at a fork in the road. They were going to attack a city each and complete their mission as soon as possible to prevent any delays.
"Alright, we'll part ways here. You must be careful.”Zhao Chen reminded him again before he left.
"Yes, General. I will take note.”
"Mm, let's go to Fei County.”Zhao Chen's army and Gao Shun's Breaking Ranks Battalion set off together.
Xu Rong and Wang Fei also bid farewell to each other and led their troops to change their route. In the air, one could see that the originally neat black torrent had split into three at the fork in front of them, heading in different directions.
