Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1052

The fifth prince had never seen what Lu Baichuan looked like before, not even his portrait. He looked down on Lu Baichuan, a general with a grassroots background, and felt that he was no match for him.

But he had seen the portrait of Prince Jing of Beiyan. He was a descendant of the royal family after all, so there was no harm in getting to know him a little bit.

Therefore, after confirming that the person he was fighting with was Prince Jing, his face became ugly.

"What do you mean? This prince wants to challenge Lu Baichuan, why are you here to join in the fun?"

The reputation of King Jing of Bei Yan was not necessarily very good. He was brave and foolhardy. He failed in the fight for the throne. He took the initiative to station at the border to protect himself, but achieved nothing. He was of the same royal blood, so the fifth prince expressed his contempt for him.

I feel that such a mediocre person is not qualified to fight with me.

Thinking of being stepped on and rubbed by Jiang Jiu Niang that night, he was so angry that his teeth itched, and he was bound to find a sense of superiority over Lu Baichuan.

"Let's pass this level of this king first and then talk about it."

Prince Jing twitched his lips. He was a little worried at first. After all, this was his first time to fight head-on. He represented Bei Yan's face. He was afraid that he would make a mistake and make Bei Yan lose face.

But now when I see the fifth prince of Dongting looking like a fool, he seems to be looked down upon by no one. How could the Emperor of Dongting let such a person out with confidence?
Is there no one available in Dongting?

Fortunately, the fifth prince was not too entangled. He was quite open-minded and thought this would be fine. He would first kill King Bei Yanjing to kill their spirit, and then take down Lu Baichuan's head in one fell swoop. His position as crown prince would be guaranteed. Stable!
With this thought in mind, he took the initiative to attack Prince Jing.

Prince Jing has been at the border for more than two years. Although he doesn't have much actual combat experience, he trains with the soldiers every day. He practices according to Lu Baichuan's training manual, and his skills are not bad.

The fifth prince has always been pampered in the capital. He has some martial arts, but he does not necessarily exercise every day, and what he practices mostly is some fancy fists and embroidered legs, which is very different from the real swords and guns on the battlefield. After just a few moves, The fifth prince panicked.

In terms of strength alone, he is no match for King Beiyan Jing!
I don’t know what this guy grew up on. The long tasseled gun in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds when it was struck down. He couldn’t resist it at all.

At the same time, King Jing also saw the disparity between them and felt that his previous preparations were too much. For such a weakling, he could easily kill alone!

Realizing this, he did not underestimate the enemy. Knowing that the battle could not be delayed for too long, he used all his strength to make fatal moves.

The fifth prince was suppressed and retreated steadily on the battlefield, and the soldiers in Dongting felt anxious for him.

Didn't the fifth prince call himself very powerful before? Why is he so good?
Their enthusiasm suddenly turned cold.

The fifth prince was frightened and wanted to escape. He jumped on his horse's head and was about to run away. King Jing raised his long tassel spear high, aimed at the fifth prince's back, charged it up, and then threw it straight through the hall from the fifth prince's back.

The fifth prince's eyes widened and he vomited blood. Before he could say anything, he fell off his horse and died on the spot.

Prince Jing smiled, stepped forward and cut off his head, shouting to the soldiers behind him: "Kill!"

In an instant, soldiers from both sides were fighting together, small black balls were thrown out one after another, and the deafening sound seemed to be celebrating their victory.

The Dongting soldiers were dead, wounded, and some simply became deserters, and everything was in chaos.

Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian, who were watching the battle in the dark, looked at each other and smiled.

"Does this count as our success and retirement?"

Lu Baichuan said: "It's still early."

They can continue fighting before Dongting surrenders.

If the situation continues like this, they can even directly attack the capital of Dongting.

It's just that Beiyan's soldiers are also tired, and they have to stay on top of their behavior and not let people from the other two countries look at them with fear.Bei Yan has never been a person who takes things by force. They fight just to protect themselves, and now they have been attacking the city. In fact, they are just to force Dongting to surrender.

The battlefield still needs to be finished, and there are still many things to do, but Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian are not planning to take action. This is the time for King Jing to show his abilities, and he must be allowed to do the whole process by himself.

Over at Dongting, the old general was forced to stay in the military camp by the fifth prince. He could not go to the battlefield to watch, but he was always paying attention to the situation. Hearing that Dongting lost and the fifth prince was directly beheaded, he felt dizzy and shouted. : "Heaven is going to kill me!" He fell into a coma completely.

The head of the fifth prince was taken away by the Beiyan people. This was the meritorious service of Prince Jing.

Dongting could only barely bring his body back, and the morale of the army was extremely low.

The dignified prince was beheaded on the spot, without even a complete body, and he must become the biggest laughing stock.

The fifth prince was gone, the old general was in a coma, and there was no one in the army who could take charge, so many soldiers thought of running away.

In this current situation, there is nothing left to fight. They are losing no matter what, but the court refuses to surrender. This is a clear indication that they will risk their lives.

The imperial court doesn't care about them, so why should they fight for the imperial court?

So, when the old general woke up, most of the army officers and soldiers had fled.

"Old General, what should we do now?"

The subordinates around him were very anxious. The man in his 40s wiped his tears helplessly. With the situation like this, how can we still fight this battle?
The old general has been in the war, so he naturally knows what is best for our situation. In the past, standing still was the best strategy. As a result, these people in the army became more stubborn and insisted on questioning the old general. This made the situation change. It became what it is now.

But no matter what, the fifth prince died in battle. Even if this had nothing to do with the old general, as the only general here, the old general must bear the blame.

The subordinates were very heartbroken, how innocent the old general was!

The old general closed his eyes sadly. Somehow, he suddenly remembered what the goddess in the dream said. The reason why Dongting is like this is because of too many sins.

Thinking of their emperor, although he didn't show it on the surface, he had been taking elixirs with Wu Jiaming for many years. It was probably because of that that he ruined the country's fortune.

Therefore, Dongting's failure is doomed.

"Come down."

After a long time, the old general said this.

The subordinates were even more panicked: "But the court..."

"If we really have to wait until the imperial court's surrender order comes, all the tens of thousands of soldiers on the border will be gone."

The old general had tears in his eyes. He was old and could do nothing.

"General, you must not do this! Surrendering privately is a capital crime!"

The subordinate screamed at the top of his lungs and couldn't understand how things turned out like this.

"I will take the blame, go and take it."

The old general pushed him and shouted with all his strength: "Go!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
