At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 270 The Weakness of the White-robed Soldier

Their eyes met, and under the void, two terrible murderous auras collided, and the warhorse under Chen Qingzhao's crotch let out an uneasy neigh.

The evening wind was suddenly cold, sweeping up the hot air from both sides of the valley, but when it blew on the soldiers who were resting, it brought a bone-chilling chill.

Because at this moment, they were facing the General Pingxi, Xiliang Hou Xiao Han, who was once the most valiant and capable general in Jizhou.

Even more ferocious than their main general Chen Qingzhao.

During this half month, Chen Qingzhao led more than 100,000 Jizhou cavalry to encircle and suppress the Xiliang cavalry, and countless fierce battles broke out between the two sides.

Even though he had a huge advantage in military strength, Chen Qingzhao did not gain any benefit at all.

Instead, they are played around in their hands.

"Chen Qingzhao, how are you?"

Xiao Han, holding a sharp horse-slaying broadsword in his hand and riding a dark brown horse, stood in front of the 20,000 Xiliang cavalry. Facing the more than 100,000 Jizhou cavalry and the white-clothed soldier fairy, he was extremely presumptuous.

He laughed loudly, "In the past, you twice deployed your troops to the Tianxian Pass, intending to invade Xiliang. Tonight, I am here, so why are you trying to escape?"

"Marquis Xiliang."

Chen Qingzhao pointed his spear horizontally and said coldly: "The outcome is not yet determined, don't be too proud too early."

"Haha."

He shook his head. "The outcome has already been decided. Two hundred thousand Xiliang cavalrymen have marched into Yongzhou and will soon attack Jizhou. In the future, there will no longer be any banners with the word Xie on them in the northern border."

"With me here, you can't swallow Jizhou."

Chen Qingzhao's face was solemn. "I have 150,000 cavalrymen under my command, and we are defending the northern city. I still have 50,000 troops. Yesterday, 100,000 troops entered Yongzhou from Jizhou. You are just resisting stubbornly."

"If this is your confidence, then I really think highly of you."

Xiao Han sneered, "You want to lead the troops to rescue Yongzhou, but I won't allow you to leave."

"What would you do if I left 50,000 cavalrymen behind to cover our retreat?"

Chen Qingzhao snorted coldly: "I will lead a hundred thousand troops into Yongzhou, and within ten months, I will be able to pacify Youzhou."

"I said, you can't leave without the queen's permission."

Xiao Han grinned, "Tiger Chi, bring the person up."

"promise."

Hu Chi waved his hand, and two soldiers came forward, bringing Xie Peiyao, the second daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who was tied up.

Xie Peiyao’s face was pale, her hands and feet were tied, and her blood-stained warrior uniform was tightly attached to her body.

The moment he saw Xie Peiyao, veins appeared on Chen Qingzhao's forehead, his expression became slightly ferocious, and he had a bad feeling deep in his heart.

"Chen Qingzhao, leave me alone, kill him."

Xie Peiyao yelled.

"General, charge ahead."

The deputy general beside him raised his spear.

"Without my order, no one is allowed to move out without permission."

Chen Qingzhao raised his hand.

"Sir, kill her?"

Hu Chi pulled out the long knife from his waist and pressed it against Xie Peiyao's neck. The cold blade made the second young lady shiver unconsciously.

She clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and waited for death to come. From the moment she decided to go to Xiliang, Xie Peiyao was ready to die.

He wanted to exchange his life for Xiao Han's.

This is the only way to break the deadlock and the only thing she can do.

"Idiot."

Xiao Han glared at Hu Chi and cursed, "It would be a pity to kill such a beautiful woman."

Besides, how could I, the Marquis, do such a thing as killing my female relatives on the battlefield?

"What should I do then?" Hu Chi scratched his head and put the Qian Dao back into the sheath.

"Kill me if you dare."

Upon hearing this, Xie Peiyao opened her eyes and stared at the man on the horse. In the distant valley, Chen Qingzhao's heart was in his throat.

Xiao Han called Yuwen Wu over and whispered a few words to him, and a smile appeared on the latter's face.

Two burly soldiers came forward with rags, tied up Xie Peiyao's mouth, and then put Xie Peiyao into a sack in front of Chen Qingzhao.

"Xiliang Hou, what do you want to do?"

Chen Qingzhao shouted.

"nothing."

Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth, "I just want to imitate what you did back then."

One end of a thick hemp rope was tied to the sack containing Xie Peiyao, and the other end was tied to the saddle of the dark brown horse under Xiao Han's crotch.

"let's go."

Xiao Han opened his mouth, spurred his horse and whipped it. The dark brown horse neighed, leaped out, and dragged Xie Peiyao eastward.

"Walk."

Twenty thousand Xiliang cavalry followed Xiao Han and marched away.

"Chase."

Chen Qingzhao watched the sack being dragged on the ground, leaving bloodstains on it. He gritted his teeth and led more than 100,000 men to stop the cavalry and follow them to kill them.

"Rumble"

The earth was shaking, strong winds were blowing, and the 150,000 cavalrymen were marching forward in a mighty force, with no end in sight. They kept a close eye on the Xiliang cavalry.

"My Lord, Chen Qingzhao has indeed caught up with us."

Yuwen Wu looked back and saw billowing smoke rising into the sky behind him. Even covered by the darkness of night, it was still extremely blinding, not to mention the roaring sound echoing in his ears.

"Xie Peiyao is his weak spot."

Xiao Han galloped on his horse, grinning and shouting, "Brothers, do not turn back to fight, head east, straight to Jizhou."

He wanted to use Xie Peiyao to keep Chen Qingzhao and Jizhou's main forces in Jizhou, making them run around in a hurry and follow behind him to eat dust.

However, Xiao Han's move was extremely risky, as there were tens of thousands of Jizhou troops in the Jizhou direction.

Add to that the 50,000 troops of Jubei City and the 150,000 troops of Chen Qingzhao, and the entire Jizhou is a real dragon's den and tiger's lair.

This kind of relief is tantamount to walking into a trap, but Xiao Han is not afraid, he is confident.

If Xie Peiyao alone is not enough to hold back Chen Qingzhao, then Jizhou City can be added.

If Chen Qingzhao dared to withdraw his troops, he would lead 20,000 Xiliang cavalry and attack Jizhou City directly.

Inside the sack, Xie Peiyao's beautiful eyes opened wide, her skin was torn and the piercing pain made her groan involuntarily.

"Xiao Han, you bastard."

Seeing Chen Qingzhao leading tens of thousands of cavalry charging into the Jizhou army formation from behind, he raised his eyebrows, deliberately slowed down, and fell behind the Xiliang cavalry.

"Thorn."

The dark brown horse was running wildly, and the sharp stones cut a gap in the sack. Xie Peiyao struggled to stick her head out and wanted to breathe deeply, but her mouth was blocked. With her hands raised above her head, she was dragged forward by the hemp rope.

Chen Qingzhao’s martial arts skills were not weak and his eyesight was excellent. He saw it clearly and felt like he was fuming.

Completely ignoring the fact that Xie Peiyao was desperately shaking her head, he pulled the reins, and the warhorse accelerated, gradually getting away from the Jizhou cavalry behind him.

This was exactly what Xiao Han wanted. He turned around suddenly, swung the saber in his hand, and the shimmering sword energy burst out. In the night, it looked like a crescent moon, heading towards Chen Qingzhao.

"General, be careful."

The Jizhou soldiers were so scared that they almost jumped out of their wits. Dozens of them rushed forward to block the sword for Chen Qingzhao. Several layers of armor shattered in an instant, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

The sword light tore through the blood mist, and Chen Qingzhao pointed his spear at it, shattering it, but he flew backwards uncontrollably and crashed into the army formation at the rear.
