Chapter 46 - Amazing News
After a long while, a few Yao Army soldiers were brought to Jin Wushu and he began to interrogate them. After a while, a few generals from Yao Army were brought over, and these generals were interrogated! In the end, these soldiers and generals were all killed!
"Fourth Prince, that Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty is as cowardly as a mouse, he never even entered the Chang'an City! According to what these Song Army s said, the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty has already escaped even further to the west! " A Chieftain said.
"Heh, I originally thought that I could capture Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty just by breaking Chang'an. I never thought that I would have to chase after him!" Jin Wushu sneered.
"Fourth Prince, that Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty passed by him three or four days ago. If we chase after him immediately, we can catch up to him very quickly!" Chieftain said.
Jin Wushu's eyes revealed an expression of hesitation. After a while, he shook his head and said: "No! The children's bodies had already reached their limits, they couldn't give chase anymore! Furthermore, I promised my sons that I would let them enjoy a day in Chang'an City. The words that I would say were like nails that were stuck in a rock, I couldn't even pull them out! Let this Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty who was as timid as a mouse escape for a while longer! Hmph, with the Song people's speed, even if they were given one more day, they still wouldn't be able to escape! "
Chieftain nodded her head, and said: "Fourth Prince, that Yao Gu has already escaped, and many of the other Yao Army soldiers have also escaped!"
Jin Wushu revealed a mocking expression, and said: "Han Chang is lying in ambush right in front, how far can they run? Just watch, in a little while, Yao Gu's head will be in front of me! "
Jin Wushu's prediction was like that of a god, indeed, when Han Chang returned in the morning with the remaining female soldiers, he had a head in his hands, if it wasn't Yao Gu, then who else could it be?
As for the Yao Army s who escaped from the Chang'an City, they were almost completely annihilated, less than a tenth of them could actually escape!
On this day, the Chang'an City was once again met with a calamity! The real female soldiers were burning, killing, robbing and raping in the Chang'an City, committing all sorts of crimes! Screams could be heard everywhere in the city. Many children were brutally killed by the Nvzhen and blood once again flowed like a river from the city.
At night, under Jin Wushu's orders, all the female True Soldiers lied down to rest. They had travelled for days and nights in a row, and were indeed exhausted to the extreme. At this moment, all of them were snoring deeply!
At this time, about 300 miles to the west, Zhao Chen's team had just stopped!
Zhao Chen jumped down from his horse and stood in the snow. Li Gang, Yue Fei, Zhe Keqiu and the others accompanied him by his side as he smiled and said, "Your Highness, the county magistrate of the Fu Feng County is here. Let's rest here for a while and head to Fu Feng County! "
Zhao Chen was startled, and said: "Fu Feng County? "Forget it, we can't stay there any longer!"
Zhe Keqiu said in shock: "Why can't I stay there?"
Zhao Chen said: "Yesterday, my teacher and I discussed it and we both thought that the Nvzhen was approaching in full fury, but now we cannot stay any longer, we can only advance! At least until we reach the Fengxiang Residence, we'll be safe! You should help me thank him for the good intentions of the Fu Feng County, but we really cannot go there anymore! "
As Zhao Chen spoke, he turned around and looked to the east, his face filled with fear, as if he was extremely worried about the arrival of the Jin Army! Zhe Keqiu turned his head to the side, unable to conceal the disdain on his face!
"Let's go!" Zhao Chen did not say anymore and jumped onto his horse. Yue Fei, Li Gang and the rest had already caught up with him.
They had just walked more than ten miles when the wind and snow suddenly blew heavily!
As the cold wind blew, Zhao Chen could not help but shrink back! As for Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and the other officials beside him, they were trembling even harder!
"The climate of this era is really cold!" Zhao Chen secretly sighed.
In the modern society, the end of February in the Lunar New Year was already getting warmer. However, in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was still abnormally cold! It had been snowing heavily for more than ten days, but there was still no sign of stopping!
The speed of the Home Breaker's army was extremely slow, after walking for four hours, the infantry behind them were no longer willing to go forward, they had already found a place to hide and rest. Zhao Chen and the rest had no choice but to stop and rest!
It was at this moment that the faint sound of hooves could be heard coming from afar!
The soldiers of the Home Breaker did not think much of it, it sounded like there were only one or two people present! Their hundred thousand soldiers were all gathered here. How could they be afraid of one or two people?
Some of the Home Breaker Soldiers s were still lying down to rest, while some others were curiously looking into the distance!
Through the wind and snow in the sky, a person could be seen rapidly galloping over!
"Aiya!" Just then, a few of the General Crop's soldiers cried out in alarm!
It turned out that just now, that person's horse had suddenly fell to the ground! Seeing that the person in the distance was about to fall to the ground as well, he suddenly leaped up like a swallow. When he landed on the ground, he didn't even care about the horses, but started rushing towards him! His speed was extremely fast and was actually not inferior to his speed just now. It was obvious that he was an elite Xiantian martial artist!
A few of the soldiers of Home Breaker had already picked up their weapons and rushed forward. In a flash, the man was already in front of them!
At this moment, they saw that it was an 18 or 19 year old youth. This youth was wearing a worn out set of cotton clothing. His face looked extremely tired, and he was panting heavily!
"Who is it!?" How dare you barge into my army camp? " A Home Breaker Soldiers shouted.
"I am the personal guard of His Highness the Crown Prince. I am under his command to go out and handle some matters!" Quick, bring me to see His Highness the Crown Prince! " The young man gasped for breath as he spoke anxiously!
As he spoke, he took out a gold medal. This was the gold medal Zhao Chen had given him!
Seeing the gold medal, the few soldiers of Home Breaker were shocked. One of the soldiers of Home Breaker wanted to take him to see Zhao Chen!
"You're walking too slowly, you just need to tell me where the Crown Prince is!" The young man followed him for a few steps and suddenly said.
Home Breaker Soldiers was impatiently bringing him there, upon hearing his voice, he curled his lips and pointed far away! The young man did not answer, the Home Breaker Soldiers was startled, when he turned to look, he realised that the young man was no longer behind him! Unknowingly, the youth had already left! He looked around and actually didn't see the youth. He stood there in a daze!
The young man's speed was simply too fast. In merely fifteen minutes, he passed through the long line of Home Breaker s and finally arrived at the front! Here, he finally saw Zhao Chen and the rest!
He headed towards Zhao Chen and the others. Just as Yue Fei was about to stop him, a smile suddenly appeared on his face when he saw this person's figure. "Third brother, you're finally back! When you went to look for information in the Jin Army, did you have any results? "
So it turned out that this youth was none other than Yue Fei's sworn brother, the main commander of the Yue Clan Army in the future!
"Greetings, Your Highness!" At that moment, Zhang Xian had already knelt in front of Zhao Chen!
"Hurry and get up! There's no need for you to kneel if you see me from now on! " Zhao Chen laughed and helped Zhang Xian up!
"How can I? Your Highness is the crown prince, the king of the kingdom. When we see you, we must kneel! " Zhang Xian said as he stood up.
"Alright, since your complexion is not good, you must have become unusually tired along the way. You must have discovered some important information!" Zhao Chen observed Zhang Xian for a while and said.
"Your Highness, things are not going well!" Zhang Xian anxiously said!
However, he was extremely tired as he walked. He coughed non-stop as he had just finished speaking. He actually couldn't continue talking!
"Wait a moment, then tell me what's the matter!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty … There's no time to delay! " By the side, Yue Fei transferred his Innate Qi into Zhang Xian's body, causing his complexion to slowly turn better. However, he suddenly pulled Yue Fei away, and said: "Your Highness, the Nvzhen has already taken down the Chang'an City!"
"What!" Zhao Chen was instantly stunned!
Forget about Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Wang De, Wang Gui, Wang Gui, and the others were all stunned! Their eyes were filled with disbelief, as though they were stone sculptures!
"How is that possible? It's only been a few days since we left Chang An, and they actually beat us up with Chang'an City? Furthermore, we didn't receive any news of them taking down Tongguan at all! How can the Nvzhen's army entry speed be so fast? " After a moment, Zhao Chen suddenly said.
"Your Highness, this news is absolutely true! The Nvzhen has indeed beaten the Chang'an City! " Zhang Xian gasped.
"Don't be impatient! Third brother, tell me, how did the Nvzhen take down the Chang'an City? How long did they take to defeat the Chang'an City? " Yue Fei pressed his palm onto Zhang Xian's body once again, and continuously transferred his Qi into Zhang Xian's body, allowing Zhang Xian to continue speaking!
"Nvzhen took less than an morning to defeat Chang'an City!" Zhang Xian took a deep breath and said.
"One morning? How was this possible? The Chang'an City was an old capital of the former dynasty, although it was already dilapidated, it was not something that could be defeated in a single morning! Not to mention that there were still tens of thousands of Yao Army s there! No matter how weak and cowardly the Yao Army is, with a city wall as thick as the Chang'an City, it is not something that can be lost in a single morning! " Li Gang said in disbelief.
"Your Highness, my lords, it is absolutely true! Nvzhen only used one morning to defeat Chang'an City, maybe not even one morning! When I first arrived at the Chang'an City, and saw the Yao Army soldiers frantically escaping from the four city gates, I knew that it was bad! Afterwards, I followed the soldiers of Yao Army and headed east. There, the Nvzhen set up an ambush. I rushed east alone, and didn't dare to stop for a rest along the way. Three of my war horses died, and only then did I catch up with His Highness and pass the news to him! " Zhang Xian said.
"The speed of the Nvzhen's advance is actually so fast! Their battle strength was actually this strong! That means, they had already taken down the Chang'an City yesterday morning, and they are probably not far from us now! " Zhao Chen said in shock.
He didn't know that Nvzhen had rested for a day in Chang'an City, so there was still a certain distance between Nvzhen and them!
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Zhang Xian said.
"Immediately send someone to notify Zhe Keqiu! Now we can only rely on him! " Zhao Chen laughed bitterly.
