The king behind the empress

Chapter 439 The Death of Situ Yao
"It's over..."

When Situ Yao heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind, he immediately felt darkness in front of him. He stood there for a long time before gradually regaining consciousness.

After he regained consciousness, the first thing he heard were the fierce quarrels and accusations of these family heads.

"Patriarch Wan, Patriarch Yin, what's the situation with the army you left behind? Why did the [-] army last for so long? Did you bring all the elite here, leaving only a group of miscellaneous soldiers?"

"It's over, it's over, I said that the elite in Guangling City is unparalleled in the world, only 7 people can't stop them, but you didn't listen, something happened now?"

"Why are you talking so many useless things? The Red Flame Dragon Knight is about to arrive, so hurry up and think of a countermeasure, otherwise the army will be defeated if they are pinched back and forth by them!"

"Think of a way, think of a way, the army is under the command of Situ Yao, now something is going on, you go ask Situ..."

The man's voice became smaller and smaller. At this moment, Situ Yao stood there without saying a word, just looking at them so coldly.

Sensing the strangeness of this person, the rest of the people could not help but subconsciously look at Situ Yao. When they saw Situ Yao's expression, the people who were arguing stopped subconsciously, and the noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet. .

"My lords, is the quarrel over?"

At this time, Situ Yao didn't have any expression on his face, only a pair of sinister eyes, staring coldly at everyone present.

He has now realized that it was a mistake for him to take the initiative to command the troops this time. He originally thought that he could overthrow the Great Zhou court in World War I with his absolutely superior force, but he did not expect that Mo Zizai would have so much strength soldiers.

In this way, although his military strength still has a numerical advantage, in terms of strength, the two sides are not much different.

If it's just like this, Situ Yao is not afraid. He has been in the northern border for so many years, and he has fought battles where the weak defeated the strong, so for him, this is not a troublesome thing.

But the problem is that the people of these aristocratic families are not in harmony, they are looking forward and backward, and they are at both ends, and the biggest problem is that these patriarchs are worried that they will annex their troops, so these old guys all come by themselves.

These old guys are much less courageous than young people, but they are really shrewd in calculations, and there is no way for them to truly control the army under their name.

The army of 50 people was in a state of disunity, advancing and not advancing, retreating and not retreating, and these people are entirely to blame for falling into the current field.

In this battle, a total of 3 to 7 people were "died" in Guangling City, but the remaining [-] to [-] people have all transformed into veterans, and their combat effectiveness has more than doubled compared to before. The Dragon Knights and the Yubayashi Army, under the ebb and flow of each other, the remaining two hundred thousand people, once they fight, they have no chance of winning at all.

Thinking of this, Situ Yao's heart was filled with sadness, two disciples' lives were lost, and the Qianchuan army was basically lost, so it ended up like this. What kind of battle is this called?

If he had known this, he should have transferred Qian Chuanwei in the first place. In that case, the battle would never have been so miserable.

Situ Yao, who was already regretting his clumsy behavior in his heart, took a deep breath and suppressed the regret in his heart.

"It doesn't matter. With Qianchuan Wei here, I still have a chance. As long as I can return to Qianchuan, I will still have a place in this world!"

Situ Yao, who was about to retreat, was no longer silent at this time, but said lightly: "The troops you can still keep in your hands are the elite among the elite, only [-] to [-] soldiers, what is there to be afraid of?" ?”

Situ Yao's words mercilessly exposed the fact that the Patriarchs are still retaining their strength. These people, even the Patriarchs of the Wan Family, still have tens of thousands of troops by their side.

And these troops, no matter whether they are fighting a war of attrition or a tough battle, even if they are fighting against the Habayashi Army, have never been moved. Obviously, these soldiers are the real core strength of these Patriarchs.

Originally, when Situ Yao was withdrawing the troops, he hinted once to let them keep some of the elite, but unfortunately no one listened to it. If this is the case, now they will use their precious elite to fight recklessly.

"I'll let the baggage cart be moved to the rear and build a line of defense. Unless those red flame dragonriders can fly, it's definitely impossible to rush in."

Situ Yao turned around and walked towards his personal guards. Before leaving, he left a faint sentence, "As for the rest, I don't need the old man to teach you? Anyway, the old man can't command your army, so you can do it yourself." Let's see."

After speaking, Situ Yao left without looking back, apparently not wanting to get involved with them anymore.

"Qingping, take them into the armor of ordinary soldiers, we are ready to go."

After returning to the personal guard camp, Situ Yao said something abruptly, which startled Xu Qingping, the commander of his personal guard.

"Go? Patriarch, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go?"

While wearing the ordinary armor he had prepared long ago, Situ Yao replied, "Of course I'm going back to Qianchuan."

"By the way, bring Yu'er and Chang Qiu... Forget it, just bring their relics."

"This……"

Xu Qingping was stunned for a long time before he asked, "But, Qianchuan Army..."

When Situ Yao heard Xu Qingping's question, he paused for a moment before putting on the armor on his body. After a while, he said slowly, "They can't take them away."

After finishing speaking, Situ Yao stopped Xu Qingping's intention to continue asking, and said, "Hurry up and get someone to change into armor, or we won't be able to leave if it's too late."

"Here!"

Although Xu Qingping hesitated in his heart, he did not disobey Situ Yao's order, and directly sent an order to order all 2000 people in the personal guard camp to put on the armor Situ Yao had prepared in advance.

After they all changed their armors, Situ Yao directly led them towards the direction of the Habayashi Army, but they looked as if they were going to attack the Habayashi Army, but after reaching the periphery, they stopped marching, but Following the footsteps of the attacking soldiers, he gradually moved to the back of the Habayashi army.

Obviously, Situ Yao wanted to take advantage of the siege of the Habayashi Army to bypass the Habayashi Army and take advantage of the chaos to leave the battlefield.

After all, no matter how strong the soldiers under Mo Zizai's command are, the number is also his absolute shortcoming, so he will never be able to take care of so many routs. As long as he waits for others to mix in the routs, it will be no problem to return to Qianchuan .

The Patriarchs of these aristocratic families did not know about Situ Yao's quiet departure. They listened to Situ Yao's opinion and piled up the baggage carts into a car formation. Annihilated Mo Zizai's Red Flame Dragon Knight.

After all, four hooves can run much faster than two legs, and the cavalry is immortal, unless they can abandon all the troops as cruelly as Situ Yao, otherwise they will definitely not be able to escape.

However, just as soon as they fought the Red Flame Dragon Knight, they were given a huge surprise. The car array that was regarded as an obstacle was directly smashed into pieces by the Red Flame Dragon Knight. There is no difference between ordinary soldiers, they are also shot one by one.

The [-] to [-] troops were smashed by the Red Flame Dragon Knight's two charges, and the Shenwei army who followed behind took the opportunity to rush in, and the army immediately crumbled into a mass.

The heads of the Xu family, the Wan family, the Cui family, and the Yin family were killed on the spot, and their heads were picked up by Mo Zizai and Yang Yanzhang. In just a quarter of an hour, nearly 20 troops were defeated like a mountain.

"Where's Situ Yao's old thing?"

Mo Zizai searched all over the battlefield, but he couldn't find Situ Yao. He asked several captured patriarchs, but they all said they didn't know, which made Mo Zizai a little annoyed.

"It must have escaped early."

Yang Yanzhang looked at the scattered soldiers, and his face was also a bit ugly, "This Situ Yao is old and cunning, and he probably got mixed up with the scattered soldiers."

"This time, he must not be allowed to escape."

Yang Yanzhang cupped his hands and said to Mo Zizai: "My lord, he won't be far away. I'll take people to chase him."

"I will go with you!"

Mo Zizai obviously did not intend to let Situ Yao go, he said firmly: "You can ignore the broken soldiers on the battlefield, but Situ Yao, an old bastard, must be caught!"

"Here!"

Yang Yanzhang saw Mo Zizai's firm demeanor, so he didn't say anything more. After answering, he directly divided the Chiyan Dragonriders into four teams. He, Mo Zizai, Geng Qi, and Xin Yan each brought a cavalry. The direction began to catch up with the rout.

If Situ Yao escaped, he would definitely bring his elites to protect him, so as long as he could find those elites, it would be tantamount to finding Situ Yao.

The four Red Flame Dragon Riders each brought 1000 men, and Mo Zi brought [-] here, and immediately began to look for Situ Yao's traces among the rout.

All the routs encountered along the way, who dared not kneel and surrender, immediately charged for a while. If those routs were of average strength, after they knelt and surrendered, they immediately let them go and chased the next wave of routs.

Situ Yao thought of Mo Zizai's lack of troops and could not take care of all the routs, but he ignored Mo Zizai and Yang Yanzhang's determination to kill him.

Under the powerful mobility of the Red Flame Dragonrider, Mo Zizai chased for about two hours, and finally caught up with Situ Yao who was mixed in the rout before dark.

Feeling the resistance of this rout, Mo Zizai, who had charged once, showed a gleam of joy on his face.

After killing for so long, only this wave of resistance is relatively strong, Situ Yaoba successfully hid in this rout.

"Situ Yao, get out!!!"

Mo Zizai was full of breath, and roared on the battlefield, "Since the king has chased you, what's the point of hiding?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's shout, Situ Yao, who was protected by his personal guards, had a bitter expression on his face.

Mo Zizai didn't even care about the battlefield after the defeat, and concentrated on chasing himself, it seemed that he hated himself so much.

Moreover, there are only two thousand Red Flame Dragonriders in front of him, presumably there are Red Flame Dragonriders looking for him in other directions, right?

"It's doomed."

Situ Yao murmured, being chased by Mo Zizai, he is now in a desperate situation, even though there are thousands of personal guards around him, but under Mo Zizai's Red Flame Dragon Rider, he has no ability to resist at all of.

"That's it, that's it..."

Situ Yao let out a long sigh, and took the initiative to walk out of the rout with the guards around him, "Situ Yao, governor of Qianchuan County, has seen the prince."

"Old man, I finally let this king catch you!"

Mo Zizai looked at Situ Yao, feeling a little excited. This old man had been making troubles non-stop when his father was in power. Now that he was able to catch him with his own hands, it was an explanation to his father.

And the most important thing is, now that the leader of the southern family has not fought in a single battle, and if the old bastard Situ Yao is slaughtered, no one will be driven out to do things in a short time. Uncle tidied up, even if the Great Zhou Jiangshan was completely stable, he wouldn't have to run around like this every day.

Not to mention being tired day after day, it is really hard not being able to reunite with the three daughter-in-laws.

"My lord has God's help, and the old man is convinced."

Situ Yao bowed to Mo Zizai, and said: "It's just that the soldiers around me are just obeying orders, and the crime is not worthy of death. I hope the prince can spare them. For this reason, the old man is willing to go back to Beijing with the prince for trial. Let the prince handle it."

Situ Yao looked at Mo Zizai's eyes, and thought a little in his heart. Although his words seemed to be pleading for his own guards, the most important thing was actually the sentence that asked Mo Zizai to take him back to the capital for trial. It's all just laying the groundwork.

Based on his penetration into the capital, as long as Mo Zizai brings him back to the capital, then he has at least ten ways to escape from the capital.

As long as he can escape from the capital and return to the Qianchuan Army, then there is still hope for him to make a comeback.

"Okay!"

Mo Zizai looked at Situ Yao's expectant eyes, couldn't help laughing, and then he galloped up to Situ Yao, and said, "Soldiers don't deserve to die, this king can understand, and I will send them to mine later. , when the crime is atoned for, the king will naturally let them go back."

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity!"

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Situ Yao couldn't help but feel happy, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said calmly: "In this case, the old man is willing to live on for a while longer and go to Beijing with the prince for trial."

"No need."

Just when Situ Yao was feeling longing, Mo Zizai grinned suddenly, and then shot Situ Yao through the chest, "This king never engages in formalism, and it doesn't matter to this king whether he tries it or not."

"As long as you can take your head back and pay homage to my old man, that's fine, nothing else matters."

"you you……"

Holding the spear that pierced his chest, Situ Yao looked at Mo Zizai in disbelief. He never thought that Mo Zizai would choose to kill him directly.

The gleam of joy that had just arisen, as well as his longing and ambition, all disappeared under this cold shot.

Situ Yao's eyes widened, and he looked at Mo Zizai very unwillingly. In the end, he exhausted all his strength and asked Mo Zizai, "Why do you always disobey the rules!!!"

"What's the mess?"

Mo Zizai frowned. He didn't know Situ Yao's plan. He obviously didn't understand what Situ Yao meant, but he didn't bother to listen anymore, so he pulled out the spear that pierced Situ Yao, "Yes If you have any questions, go to the underground and talk to me, and say hello to me by the way, just say Da Zhou, it's stable."

After pulling out the spear, Situ Yao's body fell directly into the words of the guards behind him. He stared at Mo Zizai, with only one thought in his mind, that is, if he didn't plan to kill Tang Shuyu back then, he would fight with Mo Congyi If you fight the last game, won't you lose so badly?
　Merry Christmas everyone, Christmas or New Year's Day?Forget it, I don't know, it doesn't matter, just be happy.
