Chapter 359 If there is such a day

Zhao Kuo has really not fought such a battle in a long time.

The last time he fought with a thousand troops was the battle he had with Yan State twenty years ago.

Lao Ai's rebellion made Zhao Kuo feel a little confused and just regarded it as his last struggle. When the enemy's knights charged towards him, Zhao Kuo quickly issued an order, and the crossbowmen were ready. When the knights were half a step away from them, Zhao Kuo gave the order and fired the crossbows volleys, while the rest of the soldiers could throw out the spears in their hands to kill people in such a short-range battle.

Not all those who fight on horseback can be called knights. In this era without riding tools, it is not easy to ride a horse steadily, let alone fight on horseback? When arrows fly, these people also want to shoot back, but not many of them can ride and shoot. Arrows fly, people turn over and over, and these knights of Lao Ai gather together.

Not only did they not exert the mobility of the cavalry, but they even facilitated the shooting of the crossbowmen of Qin's country to kill them. After being caught in the arrow, because they were too compact, the fallen people and horses would fall down behind them. These knights were forty steps away from Zhao Kuo, and the horses whined, and one by one fell down, while the other soldiers followed them and continued to move forward.

Zhao Kuo held a strong bow and kept shooting and killing the knights. Zhao Kuo's archery skills were accurate and efficient.

Just as the knights caused chaos, many knights chose to retreat, and the infantry were even crowding with each other due to their random command, Zhao Kuo couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and issued an order to attack. Then, he shouted again: "Marquis Wucheng is here! Those who surrender will not kill!" The soldiers of Mengwu ordered all shouted so much that they launched an attack on the enemy. Zhao Kuo suddenly saw a familiar figure galloping past him on a horse.

Zhao Kuo was stunned, then glanced at him a few more times before shouting to Zhao Fu: "Crush!"

The familiar figure rushed into the enemy first. The spear in his hand suddenly pierced the enemy in front of him. He let go of his hand, pulled out the spear from the opponent's back, and then nailed another person directly to the ground. The horse under his crotch was very tall, knocking the soldiers who stopped it away one after another. The spear in his hand kept piercing, attacking like lightning, and every move and stopping were so fast.

Under the lightning-like stab, the guests covered the blood hole on their bodies and fell from the horse's back in pain.

Zhao Kang raised his head and laughed. He glared at the chariot in the distance, "Kill the thief!!" He roared and rushed towards Lao Ai's chariot first. Meng Wu brought not many knights. After Zhao Kang directly tore a gap, the knights followed him and launched an attack together. The spear in Zhao Kang's hand was extremely fast, making it impossible to see how he took action and stopped. Only when he saw his hands trembling, a knight fell to the ground.

The infantrymen of Mengwu shouted deeply: "Marquis Wu Cheng is here! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Except for those confidants who were promoted by Lao Ai, these county soldiers were unaware of it. They acted according to the seal of the empress dowager. At this moment, when they heard that Zhao Kuo was right opposite and saw the familiar faces appearing on the chariot in the distance, they immediately threw away the weapons in their hands and gave up resistance. Lao Ai, who was watching the battle situation on the chariot, first saw his knights lying in front of the opposite formation, and then saw the enemy reacting and counterattacking.

The soldiers in front of him dropped their weapons one by one. Lao Ai looked at the scene in horror and couldn't help but shout: "Dare you dare to violate the orders of the Empress Dowager? This is a death sentence! This is a death sentence! Zhao Kuo's rebellion!! Zhao Kuo's rebellion!" Obviously, his words were not as convincing as the other party. At this moment, Lao Ai was frightened to find the knights running towards him in the distance.

"Stop them!!" Lao Ai shouted, then asked his master to escape from here with him.

When Lao Ai's disciples charged towards the knights, Zhao Kang crashed into the crowd, and the spear in his hand pierced one enemy after another. Zhao Kang was not afraid at all, as if something was burning. His move became more and more fierce. Every time he stabbed directly into the opponent's throat, sometimes he could even cut off his head. However, such a terrifying scene scared the disciples who stopped him screamed.

They abandoned their weapons and knelt directly on the ground. The horses flew past their heads, and Zhao Kang began to pursue Lao Ai's chariot.

Zhao Kang's horse was given to him by the King of Qin, and it was quite strong. When he charged with all his might, the distance between the chariot and him was getting closer and closer. Lao Ai turned his head in horror. He saw a figure leaping in front of him. Zhao Kang suddenly rushed to the chariot and kicked the chariot right out of the chariot. Then a header hit Lao Ai's face. Lao Ai screamed, Zhao Kang did not stop at all, and one knee hit the target...

Lao Ai suffered such a painful blow and fainted immediately. Zhao Kang then ordered the driver in front of him to stop the car. The driver continued to drive frantically. He didn't know that it was because he was afraid of living something else and did not obey Zhao Kang's orders. Zhao Kang had to kill the man and stopped the carriage. When Zhao Kang turned around and came back, the soldiers following Lao Ai knelt on the ground, and Meng Wu's soldiers were around them.

Zhao Kuo frowned and stood in the carriage, looking quite angry.

Zhao Kang grinned, then dragged Lao Ai off the chariot, came to Zhao Kuo, threw Lao Ai on the ground, and said to Zhao Kuo: "Father... I captured Lao Ai alive!" Zhao Kuo looked at him, his face was still very ugly. He looked at Zhao Kang, and Zhao Kang then wiped off the blood on his face and said, "These people are vulnerable...", "When you get home, let's talk about this..."

Zhao Kang, who was fearless on the battlefield just now, was a little scared.

Meng Wu stood in the chariot, looking at Lao Ai in the distance, looking at these troops, he couldn't help but shake his head. Even such a guy dared to fight with Wu Chenghou, which was simply an insult to Wu Chengjun. The king was indeed not wrong. Lao Ai really rebelled... Meng Wu narrowed his eyes and thought about the things that the king secretly told him before leaving, so he walked to Zhao Kuo. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wu Chenghou... Kang was summoned by me. His height has reached the standard of participating in the war. Please don't blame him."

Zhao Kuo glanced at him, didn't say anything, just nodded.

Speaking of which, the concubine Kang really scared him today. Several times, Zhao Kuo saw that he was overwhelmed by the crowd... Zhao Kang laughed again, looked at Lao Ai beside him, and said, "Why would you behead this guy? He just insulted my father..." Meng Wu shook his head and said, "You must act according to the law, and you cannot behead him..." Then he looked at Zhao Kuo and signaled Zhao Kuo to come with him.

Zhao Kuo came to Meng Wu's side, and the two gradually moved away from the soldiers.

Meng Wu then said, "There is one thing that I can't help but tell you..."

"Please tell me."

Meng Wu was struggling for a moment before saying, "The king asked me to escort you to Yongcheng. In fact, after you left, he sent someone to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion. As long as you wait for news from Lao Ai, you will fight against the Prime Minister. Now Lao Ai is pursuing rebellion, and the Prime Minister is the one who recommends him... When the battle situation here is sent back to Xianyang, the Prime Minister will definitely be executed... Before the battle, I have sent a scout to explain the situation here." Zhao Kuo widened his eyes. He never thought that Zheng's purpose was to deceive himself away.

Seeing Zhao Kuo who became even more angry, Meng Wu said helplessly: "Zheng has made contributions to Qin State. I really can't bear to be implicated by such a villain..." Zhao Kuo nodded and then looked in the direction of Yongcheng. He said: "The distance between Xianyang and Yongcheng is not far. Please go to Yongcheng quickly and control the inside and outside of Yongcheng. No one is allowed to enter and exit. I will go to Xianyang first, and then come to Yongcheng again."

"Yi!" Meng Wu leaned over and bowed.

Zhao Kuo then turned around and rushed to Xianyang. He really wanted to save Lu Buwei's life. Although he made a mistake, his contribution was not small. If he continued to live, he could save more people... The scout had already gone to Xianyang, and he had to go in time.

After Zhao Kuo left, Meng Wu led his army to directly attack Yongcheng.

The troops stationed in Yongcheng were taken away by Lao Ai, and this place became an empty city. Meng Wu captured the empty city without any effort. When he arrived at the palace, he encountered some resistance, but for Meng Wu, these were not difficult. Meng Wu took Zhao Kang as his pioneer and successfully attacked the palace. When Meng Wu and others washed the palace bloodily, they finally saw the queen mother who participated in the rebellion in the back hall.

The queen mother looked very scared and looked at the soldiers like tigers and wolves in front of her in fear. She hugged her two children tightly.

Her two children were also curled up in her arms, trembling in fear. She was trembling all over. She pretended to be angry and asked loudly: "What do Ersanzi want to do? I am the empress dowager of Qin, I am the mother of the King of Qin. Do Ersanzi want to rebel??" Hearing her questioning, sure enough, the soldiers were a little scared and dared not approach. They took a few steps back, but Meng Wu walked in.

Meng Wu looked at the woman in front of him seriously. Zhao Ji didn't know him, but Zhao Ji knew that he was the commander of the Qin army.

Zhao Ji asked tremblingly, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Meng Wu looked at her without saying a word, and he didn't even tell his identity. Finally, Meng Wu's eyes fell on the two children. Meng Wu smiled and slowly walked to Zhao Ji's side. Under Zhao Ji's horrified gaze, Meng Wu grabbed the shoulders of the two children and pulled them out. The children cried in horror. Zhao Ji also grabbed the child's hand and refused to let go.

"Let them go, let them go, they don't know anything. They are less than ten years old, they are innocent, innocent!" Zhao Ji cried loudly, holding the child's arm tightly. Meng Wu was not polite. The soldiers on both sides stepped forward and forced them to separate the mother and son. Zhao Kang on the side felt a little reluctant. He looked at this scene and couldn't help but turn his head. Zhao Ji probably noticed him.

"I know you! You are Kang! I hugged you when you were a child! Save my children, save them, isn't your father very kind? How can you not save him when you die? They don't know anything!"

Zhao Ji seemed to have grabbed the last straw and kept asking Zhao Kang for help. Zhao Kang looked at Meng Wu helplessly, with unbearable eyes, but Meng Wu shook his head. He said, "According to the law, the rebels will be killed... the entire clan, no one of the clans can survive." Zhao Kang asked, "Even if it's a child?"

"Even if it's a child...this is why I want to send Wu Chenghou away."

Meng Wu grabbed the child in his hand tightly and then walked towards the palace. Zhao Kang wanted to say something. He hesitated for a long time and left. Only Zhao Ji rushed towards Meng Wu. The soldiers grabbed her tightly. She started crying and tearing her hair, "They are not at fault. If you want to kill, you can kill me. Let them go! Kang! Why don't you learn from your father?!"

Zhao Ji kept rushing towards the outside of the hall until she heard the painful screams and the familiar screams from outside the hall.

Zhao Ji clearly heard them crying at her mother.

At that moment, Zhao Ji gave up on resistance. She just stared at the front in a daze, tears kept falling, leaving tears marks on her face, while she didn't move, just staring at the front in a daze, she was already crazy.

If it were the original alien, he could take her away with him.

Zhao Ji's eyes became dull and dazed.

Outside the palace, Zhao Kang dropped the weapon in his hand. He sat casually on the steps and shook his head. It was dusk and the sky was the most beautiful time. The sunset shone on him. Zhao Kang inherited his father's appearance and was even optimized a little because of his mother. The sunset in the world and the young general who had just fought bloody battles formed a beautiful picture.

However, our young general didn't look very happy, his eyes were filled with melancholy.

At some point, Meng Wu sat next to him.

"You know... there are many people who want to murder the king, and those two children are the best banners for those opponents... Zhao Ji told the outside world that these two children were the posthumous sons of the former king, and also said that the king is the descendant of the Marquis of Wucheng, not the legitimate descendant of the former king... This is a big deal. Think about it, if they live, how many people will die? Can you understand me?"

Zhao Kang smiled and said, "Maybe, but if I come, I will definitely not kill women and children. I will kill those who want to use women and children."

"Well, maybe."

Meng Wu nodded, and the two looked at Wanxia.
