Daming: Let you supervise the country according to the order, and you go to cultivate immortals?

Chapter 166 Jiayuguan is broken and the famous general dies

"I only give you half a stick of incense time."

Zhu Xiongying said in a condensed voice.

At this time, His Majesty the Archmage Emperor was very upset.

He had clearly broken through to the Qitian Realm, but the deity was unable to move, and had to spend several days to stabilize the realm, otherwise there would be serious sequelae.

This made Zhu Xiongying think of the fairy tale novels he had read before, and scolded him thousands of times in his heart.

In those novels, the sky exploded immediately after breaking through, but when it comes to me, the moment when I break through is the weakest point, which is completely different from the setting of those novels, and I once felt that I was deceived.

Han Buli was slightly taken aback.

Half a stick of incense?
My experience of more than half a month, how can I finish with half a stick of incense?

However, the emperor's destiny is greater than the sky, so half a stick of incense can only be half a stick of incense.

Han Buli thought quickly in his mind, summarized all the key information of this trip, took a deep breath, and said.

"Your Majesty, this minister's trip..."

Thinking of the experience of the past half a month, Han Buli couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

"The land of Western Europe is filled with darkness."

Then, Han Buli quickly told what he had experienced.

Summarize roughly.

There is indeed a power beyond mortals in Western Europe, and this power has spread, and the entire land of Western Europe is ruled by terror by this power.

The former Roman Empire has been completely controlled under this force.

The major duchies also surrendered to this force, being played with like puppets on strings.

There is a religion called 'Red Moon' that controls everything. The Archbishop of Red Moon is the current ruler of Western Europe and is known as the Supreme Heavenly Father.

That's why it's called 'dark'.

It's because after the Red Moon Religion appeared, it completely stopped doing human affairs.

For example, poaching people's hearts to refine medicine powder is the most common and commonplace thing.

Not to mention the other things, they just set up a mass grave and bury them alive, saying that they want to sacrifice to the red moon.

Darkness and horror enveloped every place in Western Europe.

As a result, throughout Western Europe, the air is filled with bloody smell all the year round, and even the sun and the moon are hazy with a layer of blood mist.

After Han Buli arrived at the border of Western Europe, he stayed for a total of seven days.

During these seven days, Han Buli made some calculations. He encountered a total of [-] murderous attempts and was seriously injured [-] times. If it weren't for the protective pills bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, the game would have been over long ago.

Han Buli condensed the selected key points of these experiences, and only spent 1/4 of the time to tell the story, speaking very quickly and not very carefully.

But for Zhu Xiongying, a general understanding is enough.

His original purpose was to determine the current situation in Europe.

According to the original historical trajectory, the current Europe should belong to the end of the Middle Ages. If nothing else, the Industrial Revolution will soon begin.

But judging from the news that Han Buli brought back this time.

If there is no accident, it must have been an accident.

Because of the emergence of this mysterious force in Europe, and because of the emergence of that shitty Red Moon Sect, let alone the industrial revolution in Europe, the industry has no hammer to play, and the economic construction has directly regressed to a thousand years ago.

"Your Majesty, I have another piece of news."

After Han Buli finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

This news, in his opinion, is extremely meaningful to the present Daming.

"Say."

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Han Buli. Although this trip to Western Europe was dangerous, this boy seemed to have gained a lot.

Thinking that since the European intelligence line has been opened up, it is better to continue to explore, anyway, sooner or later, Europe will be taken down, and it is always beneficial to collect more intelligence.

There is one thing to pay attention to, and that is the safety issue.

Even Han Buli was almost lost in Western Europe. If someone else went there, the death rate would probably not be low.

"One of the twelve bishops of the Red Moon Sect is the national teacher of the Timur Empire."

Han Buli said in a deep voice.

This news was obtained at the price of almost losing his life, and it was also the most valuable news he thought.

'really. '

Zhu Xiongying suddenly became a little interested in the Archbishop Hongyue.

This guy sent his own bishop to the Timur Empire to help the lame Timur unify Central Asia, and then urged the lame to make troubles in East Asia. This posture is obviously to develop his Red Moon business to the world.

The strange thing that trapped the Sapphire army in the Gobi is probably the masterpiece of this bishop.

"You go to rest first, I have my own arrangements."

Zhu Xiongying spoke lightly.

"Yes."

Han Buli bowed and saluted, and then stepped back quickly.

For him, the past half a month has been like a nightmare, as long as he opens his eyes now, he feels that he is still in that dark bloody place.

In contrast, Daming is simply a paradise on earth.

And beside the Qiankun Shifting Formation.

Zhu Xiongying was still thinking about going to the Forbidden City again, and asked Lao Zhu and A Biao to explain a few words.

His brow furrowed sharply.

"Faster than expected."

Originally, Zhu Xiongying estimated that this avatar could last for a stick of incense, but now it seems that it can't even last for a stick of incense.

The figure turned into a wisp of green smoke on the spot, curling up and dissipating.

Jiangxi chief envoy, 721 mines.

The radiance that had originally surrounded Zhu Xiongying's body had dissipated. Inside the large cave, Zhu Xiongying was cross-legged in midair. The deity frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes again.

He decided that instead of distracting his attention and thinking about other things at this qualified time, it is better to concentrate on shaping the new world in his body first, so that he can end the retreat earlier.

Zhu Xiongying's spiritual sense has already seen clearly the current situation in the whole territory of Ming Dynasty.

Indeed, by all accounts, the current problems are bad.

But sticking to it for two days is not a big problem.

As for Zhu Xiongying, all he needed was these two days, which was enough.

………………

On the eighth day of May, early morning.

Jiayuguan, with Timur's lame order to win Jiayuguan at all costs, the coach Heita also fell into a state of madness.

After all, according to the lame man's order, if Jiayuguan could not be taken down on the [-]th day, all of them would have to flee, and his own head would have to be cut off.

Other things can be messed around with.

But this is a matter of life, and it must not be sloppy at all. Naturally, it must be desperate.

Therefore, under the madness of the black tower, the army of millions of Timurs rushed forward like crazy.

Of course, there are also some strange power blessings in it. The army of millions of Timurs is the same as the previous vanguard army, as if they have activated energy cheats.

above the city gate.

Looking at the attacking army, Geng Bingwen frowned and said in a concentrated voice.

"Our army can't hold it anymore."

When Zhu Yu who was next to him heard this, his expression changed immediately.

Even Geng Bingwen said that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Old General, since Sapphire is almost here, we..."

Thinking of Lan Yu who was already on the way, Zhu Xi couldn't help but tentatively speak out, hoping to regain some chances.

"There's no need to wait, it's death if you come."

"Your Highness, please send a letter to Lan Yufei immediately, so that he doesn't have to go to Jiayuguan again, detour outside the pass, and wait for the opportunity. In addition, give him the location of the nearest granary so that he can replenish the army rations."

Geng Bingwen made a prompt decision.

The battlefield is like this.

When it is broken, it will be broken, and if it is hesitant, it will be chaotic.

Although Zhu Xi was very unwilling, after all, as long as Jiayuguan was lost, Sudi would basically be over, and Sudi was his fiefdom, no different from losing his hometown.

But gritted his teeth, facing the current situation, he could only nod his head.

"According to the retreat plan previously drawn up, His Highness and His Highness King Qing will lead the elite to retreat first, and I will be the rear."

Geng Bingwen said condensedly, in this tone, there is already the intention of going to death.

"Old General."

Zhu Li just wanted to speak, but Geng Bingwen raised his hand to stop him.

Based on his experience, it is natural to be able to judge the current situation, and Jiayuguan has no power to recover.

"Your Highness, you don't need to say much, let's start now."

There is no trace of fear in Geng Bingwen's eyes. He is nearly seventy years old, and he has been on the battlefield all his life, so he is already bearish.

Moreover, to be honest, it is not an option for him to come to the queen.

On this Jiayuguan, Zhu Yu and Zhu Wei are both princes and the sons of Lao Zhu, so it is naturally impossible for the two of them to be the queen.

Moreover, after Jiayuguan's defenders retreated into the second line of defense, they were merged into Zhu Di's defensive army. With Zhu Di in charge, he was not particularly useful.

Because the second line of defense is a long-term defense of the border, not a battle of defending the city with one city and one gate.

On this point, Geng Bingwen thinks he is inferior to Zhu Di.

That being the case, why don't you take advantage of your own usefulness and use your residual heat to block Timur's million-dollar army at the back of the palace and create a smoother withdrawal environment for Zhu Yu and Zhu Wei.

Preserving the strength of the Jiayuguan defenders to the greatest extent also strengthened the second line of defense from another angle, and this was also the last effort I made for the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yu's eyes were red.

He has worked with Geng Bingwen for several years and has great admiration for this veteran general.

Taking two steps back, he saluted Geng Bingwen respectfully, then turned and left resolutely.

Military orders are like mountains.

As the order to withdraw troops was issued, it took only a short time for a stick of incense to show that the elite forces on Jiayuguan quickly withdrew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhu Yu and Zhu Wei quickly retreated with 13 troops, leaving only [-] with minor injuries Follow Geng Bingwen to the rear.

Heita, the commander of Timur's army outside the pass, can naturally feel the decline of Jiayuguan's city defense.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

This is an unchanging law on the battlefield. The Black Tower became ecstatic, and immediately ordered that the offensive of Timur's army increased again.

It can be clearly seen that with the crazy and indiscriminate bombing of Timur's army, the walls of Jiayuguan were bombed, and even the walls began to collapse.

All these scenes fell into Geng Bingwen's eyes.

"General."

Geng Bingwen's trusted lieutenant general, and his subordinate who has followed him for decades, is also Zhang Huai, who is over [-] years old.

At this time, Zhang Huai was standing beside Geng Bingwen, looking at the scene outside the pass calmly.

"Old brother, I'm the one who's sorry for you. You shouldn't have come with me. With your battle injuries, even if you are taking care of yourself in Yingtian, the lord will not blame you."

Geng Bingwen couldn't help sighing with guilt in his eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Zhang Huai laughed.

"General, what are you talking about? If there was no general back then, how would Zhang Huai be like today?"

"What's more, I, Zhang Huai, have all sons and daughters. There are descendants and grandchildren. I have nothing to worry about in this world. It is enough to be able to die in battle and serve the country at this rare age."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Huai turned around and went down the Chengguan with his knife in hand.

Being able to follow Geng Bingwen for so many years, Zhang Huai is naturally not an ordinary general.

He knew Geng Bingwen's plan.

With the current offensive, if you just keep defending, it is better to choose to go out of the city to attack and kill. This can surprise the enemy, make the rear guard longer, and let Zhu Yu and Zhu Wei lead the army to retreat further.

Geng Bingwen took a deep breath and looked to the south.

Kneeling respectfully, he kowtowed three times.

When he stood up again, there was only cold killing intent in his eyes.

"Send me an order to open the city gate and fight to the death."

………………

Fifty miles away from Jiayuguan.

A mere fifty miles away, at the speed of Qingqi, it would take one or two hours.

Lan Yu led the army to gallop, suddenly there was a goshawk hovering in the sky, as if it had spotted something, and then it fell straight towards Lan Yu in front of it.

Suddenly, rein in the horse.

Sapphire raised her hand to stop the whole army.

Raising his hand, he let the goshawk land on his arm, and frowned.

These goshawks that sent messages to various armies all had unique marks, and this one obviously came from Jiayuguan. Sending a message to oneself at this time must have a huge change.

Sapphire quickly untied the creed from the eagle's legs, opened it, and frowned instantly.

"Father, what's wrong?"

The adoptive sons next to him frowned when they saw the goshawk, especially when they saw Lan Yu after reading the news, and couldn't help asking.

They finally got out of the predicament, and they were all suffocating, wishing to take the heads of Timur's army to vent their anger immediately.

After reading it, Sapphire let out a long sigh and rolled up the creed.

"Jiayuguan is gone."

As soon as these words came out, the foster sons' faces changed even more.

The goal of their light cavalry army is to surprise Timur's army and form a front and back attack with the defenders in Jiayuguan.

Now that Jiayuguan is gone, it’s a surprise attack, let alone a front and back attack. If you go there, you will be beaten by meat buns, and you will never return.

"The whole army turned around, on the southeast side, 150 miles away, Qinggu granary."

Sapphire said quietly.

He turned his horse's head and galloped first.

The adoptive sons didn't understand what Lan Yu meant, but when they heard "granary", they all followed without hesitation.

You know, their army has run out of food, no matter what the future battle plan is, replenishing the army food is the first point, otherwise the army will not be able to maintain.

Sapphire, who was galloping wildly, glanced at the back, which was also in the direction of Jiayuguan, and there was a sigh of the same famous general in her eyes.

'Geng Bingwen. '

Sapphire understands in her heart.

Jiayuguan is gone.

Geng Bingwen is gone.

'Dying in this battle is not a disgrace to your reputation. '

'Good journey. '

Lan Yu withdrew her gaze and rode her horse with all her might, followed by an army of 30.
