"As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If Your Highness wants to use Yun 'er to humiliate me, then please kill me, Your Highness!”
His daughter was about to get married, and as her father, he was still in the dark.
No objections?
Was there any f * cking justice left?
The more Xu Zuhui thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to rush up and press Zhu Xianfeng to the ground and beat him up.
"Old Xu, why are you so ignorant? Yun 'er will marry only me, and I will marry only Yun' er, and you, Old Xu, will have a son-in-law who can rule the world. You would rather die than accept such a good thing?”
"Humph! Who knew that you didn't force Yun 'Er?”
"After accepting the surrender here, you can ask Yun 'Er personally!”
Seeing that Xu Zuhui was still stubborn, Zhu Xianfeng did not want to waste his breath on him.
After saying this, he mounted his horse and charged towards Geng Bingwen's battlefield.
"You brat, come back. I haven't untied you yet.”
Xu Zuhui looked at Zhu Xianfeng's receding figure and shouted in the wind.
"Lord Marshal, don't be anxious. After His Highness is done with his business, he will naturally come and untie you.”
"Motherf * cker, you even said that you want to marry my daughter, but how can you tie up your father-in-law and not let go?”
……
On the other side.
Geng Bingwen, Wang Ao, and the 30,000 remaining soldiers were struggling under Li Xian's encirclement.
To them, even a second of this hellish feeling was torture.
From fear to anger, from anger to despair…
When they saw Xu Zuhui attack the Heavenly Valley, they began to rise up in despair again.
After several attempts to break out of the encirclement, although they suffered heavy losses, they could still see the light of hope for a counterattack.
However…
The appearance of the Guanning Cavalry had wiped out their last hope.
Xu Zuhui's 100,000 strong army was split into two.
And that terrifying scene repeated itself-the eastern valley entrance was blocked by the army!
Geng Bingwen roared angrily at the sky and cursed.
But it was useless.
He could only watch helplessly as the 100,000-strong army that came to rescue him was slowly devoured and killed by Zhu Xianfeng!
But later.
There was another cry of surrender from the East Cove.
Geng Bingwen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His old eyes were filled with shock and despair.
The grand Grand Marshal of the Imperial Court, the Duke of Wei, Xu Zuhui, had actually surrendered to the rebels?!
Therefore, he frantically ordered the remaining soldiers to break out of the encirclement.
Unfortunately, all of this was just an increase in casualties. Any soldier who charged into the perimeter set by the Qingzhou Army became a corpse without exception.
Of course.
The reason Zhu Xianfeng didn't annihilate the imperial court army was because he wanted to recruit these surrendered troops to expand his own strength.
At this moment.
Geng Bingwen stared at Zhu Xianfeng, who was riding his horse over, his eyes filled with endless hatred.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army bowed and made way for Zhu Xianfeng.
"Old man Geng, Old Xu has already surrendered. Why do you continue to stubbornly resist?”
Zhu Xianfeng stared at Geng Bingwen as he walked into the battlefield.
Geng Bingwen blew his beard and glared at him.”
"This battle is a struggle between the Zhu Clan and the royal clan. Why must you be so stubborn?”
"Although this old man doesn't dare to claim to be loyal to the monarch, I still want this old face!”
"Hehe, then do you think these remnants can break through my Qingzhou Army?”
"If it wasn't for you setting up a series of schemes, this old man would have been able to destroy a bunch of clowns with a raise of my hand!”
Geng Bingwen's beard and hair flew in the wind, his words filled with unwillingness to accept defeat.
"Alright, this king will give you this chance!”
"You mean…you want me to have a fair fight with the Qingzhou Army?”
"That's right. If you can defeat this king's Qingzhou army, this king can let you leave the valley. However, if you lose, you will have to lead the army to surrender to this king!”
"This…"
Geng Bingwen's expression froze, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He then looked at the generals around him.
"Old Marshal Geng, our army has no external aid and no rations. This is the only path we can take.”
"That's right, Old Marshal Geng. Rather than waiting to die, it's better to fight with all your might.”
"Even if we lose miserably, we are willing to give it a try.”
"Old Marshal Geng, give the order!"
Wang Ao, Sheng Yong, and the other generals all agreed that they could fight.
Geng Bingwen nodded, then looked at Zhu Xianfeng and asked,""Your Highness, is what you said true?”
"This king keeps his promise and will never go back on it!”
"But for the competition, you can only choose a thousand men." Of course, this king will also send a thousand men!”
"This old man will accept this competition!”
Geng Bingwen made a decision.
He then turned to the generals and said,"Generals, select a group of elite soldiers who dare to die from your respective troops to fight against the Qingzhou Army."”
"This general will obey!"
The generals cupped their hands and bowed before immediately returning to their respective troops.
Not long after, they brought over a thousand elites to the front of the formation to hand over to Geng Bingwen.
On Zhu Xianfeng's side.
Zhang Shun followed the order and brought 1000 warriors to the front of the formation.
In this battle, both sides were only competing on the commander's ability and the individual combat ability of each soldier!
Therefore, the two thousand soldiers were all infantry.
Even the crossbows had been canceled.
