Chapter 195 Escape from battle
At this moment, another letter came from the capital.
The messenger rode a fast horse and arrived at the camp at lightning speed.
Before the dust raised by the horses' hooves had completely settled, the messenger could not wait to shout loudly: "General, there is an urgent letter from the capital!"
When Li Qing heard this, his expression tensed and he hurriedly walked forward and took the letter.
His fingers trembled slightly as he slowly opened the envelope. When his eyes fell upon the contents of the letter, his expression instantly became gloomier.
The letter was written in strong language, urging them once again to capture Tianzi City as soon as possible, emphasizing that this was a crucial battle concerning the fate of the country and that there must be no slackness.
The letter also mentioned that if the task is not completed on time, severe military law will be applied.
This undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to Li Qing and his army.
Li Qing held the letter tightly, and the paper seemed to be crushed by him.
He was well aware of the difficult situation the army was in at the time. Food and fodder had not arrived and the soldiers were suffering from hunger every day.
With the threat of the mysterious black object, it is extremely difficult to capture Tianzi City.
However, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey. As the general of an army, he had no other choice but to summon the generals again to discuss countermeasures.
The generals sat together, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating.
Everyone was silent, with helplessness and worry written all over their faces.
Li Qing stood up, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
Then he strode out of the tent resolutely.
When the soldiers saw Li Qing, fatigue and anxiety were revealed in their eyes.
Li Qing looked at them, a complex emotion welling up in his heart, but he knew that he could not show the slightest weakness at this moment.
"Brothers!" Li Qing shouted, "We have received the emperor's order to attack Tianzi City. Although the road ahead is difficult, as soldiers, we must move forward bravely for the sake of our country and honor!"
The soldiers were silent for a moment, then some began to grumble in low voices.
At the same time, Ye Zirou and his men had been closely watching Li Qing's army on the city wall for several days.
However, today, when Ye Zirou witnessed that Li Qing's army seemed to be ready to launch another offensive.
So, Ye Zirou made up her mind and resolutely decided to take the initiative.
"Tianyu..." Ye Zirou called Mo Tianyu softly, her eyes full of determination and courage.
"Rou'er, I support you no matter what you want to do." Mo Tianyu looked at Ye Zirou tenderly, his eyes full of trust and love.
Sure enough, this man was her solid backing, silently supporting her no matter what decision she made.
Afterwards, Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu quickly reorganized the army.
Although the number of soldiers they command is relatively small, each of them is an elite soldier who has experienced many battles and is well-trained.
More importantly, they also have a series of advanced and powerful modern weapons and equipment in their hands, which undoubtedly become their magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
After everything was ready, the entire team was in a state of readiness, and then began to move steadily towards the enemy camp.
Mo Tianyu was riding a tall and strong horse, its fur shining in the sun. Mo Tianyu was wearing armor, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, he looked heroic and full of vigor.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Ye Zirou who was also riding a horse beside him.
"Rou'er, we must not underestimate the enemy. Although Li Qing's army is in trouble, they are numerous after all."
Ye Zirou was wearing a light blue outfit, which outlined her graceful yet heroic figure.
Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyebrows are as dark as distant ink, her eyes are as bright as stars, and under her small nose are slightly pursed red lips.
Her hair fluttered gently in the breeze, adding a touch of softness and determination to her temperament.
Ye Zirou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know."
Ye Zirou and his men were getting closer and closer, and finally, the armies of both sides met outside the camp.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Soldiers on both sides held their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with vigilance and tension.
Ye Zirou stared at Li Qing's army, her eyes revealing immense determination.
"Li Qing, you have no way out. Surrender and perhaps you can save your life." Her voice echoed in the air, carrying a sense of majesty and persuasion.
This sound? It was exactly the same as the sound made by the black object. What on earth was going on? Everyone was puzzled and surprised.
"Are you Ye Zirou and Mo Tianyu?" Li Qing looked at the two leaders in front of him.
"Li Qing, surrender." Mo Tianyu said in a flat tone, without any ripples in his voice.
Li Qing gritted his teeth and responded firmly: "We will not surrender, we will only die in battle." His voice was full of determination and courage.
"Okay, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it!" Ye Zirou said.
Then, Ye Zirou gave the order decisively.
"shot!"
Li Qing was not to be outdone, he shouted loudly: "Kill!"
His soldiers were encouraged and raised their weapons to meet the enemy.
Ye Zirou's army immediately rushed forward, gunshots rang out instantly, and bullets flew towards Li Qing's army like raindrops.
In the fierce battle, men from Li Qing's army kept falling down, and their swords seemed so powerless when facing the guns of Ye Zirou's army.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
Li Qing looked around and saw his soldiers falling one after another under the enemy's powerful firepower attack, and the army fell into chaos.
A strong sense of uneasiness and fear surged in his heart, and he realized clearly that the battle was irreversible.
A trace of panic flashed in Li Qing's eyes, and he immediately wanted to run away.
Ye Zirou has been closely following every move on the battlefield.
When she saw Li Qing's panic-stricken look and his attempt to escape, the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a disdainful smile, feeling very disgusted with Li Qing's behavior.
"Xiao Fangfang, aim at Li Qing's legs and shoot." Ye Zirou's voice was crisp and decisive, with an unquestionable majesty.
"Okay!" Little Square responded without hesitation.
When Li Qing's soldiers saw Li Qing running away, a complex expression of shock, disappointment and confusion appeared on their faces.
Their originally determined eyes were instantly filled with disbelief. The general who had once led them into battle and vowed to fight to the end for the country and the emperor was now deserting the battlefield.
They widened their eyes and followed Li Qing's fleeing back.
Without Li Qing's command, they didn't know what to do.
Should they continue to fight, or lay down their weapons and surrender? They looked at each other, and finally slowly stopped the swords in their hands.
