Empress in Golden Age - C1029

His words inspired Tu Qing, and he rushed to the side of the wall. As a result, he saw that there were arm long nails on the wall. Before, he focused on the ladder, so he didn’t find them.

“Major general, general sun, we are going to be overwhelmed!” Xiao Jun, who was struggling to support him, cried anxiously. They had dropped from more than a thousand at the beginning to a few hundred, and they were decreasing rapidly. On the contrary, Zhou Jun was increasing.

“Let’s go!” Sun Yang urged Tu Qing to make up his mind again. He tied Tu Zhan to his back and jumped out of the city wall with Sun Yang, dodging left and right to avoid the arrow rain of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Xiao Jun, who followed them back alive, had less than 100 people and suffered heavy losses. On the surface, this time they not only failed to save Tu Zhan, but also joined so many people. It was a tragic defeat. Only Sun Yang knew that they were not defeated.

Standing on the wall, Yu Heng looked at Xiao Jun, who was looming in the morning fog. He didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Big brother.” Yu Huai’s voice pulled Yu Heng back from his meditation, “have you figured out the point?”

“Well, 723 people died and 207 people were injured in Xiao’s army; 139 people died and 377 people were injured in our army.”

Yu Heng nodded and said in a deep voice, “bury the dead soldiers well. After this battle, find their families and settle them properly. They died for the battle of Da Zhou. They can’t treat their families lightly.”

“I know.” Yu Huai answered and said, “in addition, I found a strange thing.”

“What’s the matter?”

“There were four dead soldiers who didn’t wear coats and armor. On the other side, they found four sets of armor and clothes that were thrown on the ground. I compared them and found them.”

Yu Heng said in surprise: “how can this happen?”

“I also don’t understand. The only thing I can be sure is that the clothes and armor were removed after death, because the holes in the clothes coincide with the fatal wounds on their bodies. It’s a good way to strip them. Brother, do you think it’s strange?”

“Armor…” Yu Heng mumbled these two words, “are you still there? Take me to have a look.”

“It’s all there.” With a promise, Yu Huai takes Yu Heng to the place where the body is found. As expected, he only wears clothes close to his body, and his armor and robe are removed.

Yu Huai asked people to bring up four sets of clothes full of blood stains and holes. When he checked these clothes one by one, an aura flashed through Yu Heng’s mind, but it had disappeared before he could catch them.

Yu Heng’s mind turns like a wheel, trying to remember the message of the aura, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t remember it. Just when he is sad, Wang Hu next to him suddenly says, “eh, isn’t this what the man wore yesterday?”

Yu Heng’s face changed and asked, “who is it?”

Wang Hu didn’t understand why he was so nervous. He said truthfully: “the soldier who killed Tu Zhan yesterday. Although his clothes are all the same, there are so many broken places on his clothes, and his armor is almost rotten, so his subordinates are particularly impressed.” With that, Wang Hu said, “it’s strange that when Tu Zhan died yesterday, he didn’t have anything to do with it. How could he die again in a twinkling of an eye? He didn’t even take off his clothes.”

Yu Heng was shocked and blurted out: “I understand, I understand!”

Yu Huai said, “what do you understand, brother?”

Yu Heng said excitedly, “when I checked their clothes just now, I felt very strange, but I couldn’t say it again. What Wang Hu said just now finally made me understand what happened.” After a pause, he said something that shocked everyone. “It’s not our people who killed Tu Zhan, it’s Xiao Jun!”

Yu Huai was the first to react and shook his head. “It’s impossible. They sneaked all night to save Tu Zhan. How could they kill him?”

“Tu Zhan was captured by us. Even if we save him back, we can’t save his face and morale. But if Tu Zhan dies, it’s another matter.”

Yu Huai thought, “Tu Zhan is the first general under Emperor Xiao. When he dies, he will be more demoralized and not conducive to this attack.”

Yu Heng shook his head and rejected his words, “you are wrong, the result is just the opposite.”

“On the contrary?” “I don’t understand,” Yu Huai said

As the sun rises, the fog gradually dissipates, so that they can clearly see the dark Xiao Jun in the distance. The bright armor is shining with a cool light under the sun. It gives them the illusion that today’s Xiao Jun seems to sweep away yesterday’s downturn and become Brave and sharp.

Is it really an illusion?

Yu Heng also saw this scene and sighed: “from last night until now, I’ve been puzzled. Xiao Di Ming knows that there are heavy soldiers in the city and it’s impossible to save Tu Zhan. Why should he send someone to die just for the sake of that tiny possibility? But he has never been a man who can fight an uncertain battle. ”

A general next to him thought that he had once dealt with emperor Xiao, just as the king of Qi said

Yu Heng said: “from the beginning, Emperor Xiao did not intend to save tuzhan. On the contrary, he wanted to kill tuzhan!”

“But what’s in it for him?” Yu Huai knows that Yu Heng won’t make fun of this kind of thing, but he really can’t understand the reason.”Hatred is never the best tool to inspire people. Tu Zhan has great prestige among Xiao Jun. when he dies, Xiao Jun will hate us. In this way, the low morale will be restored and even higher than before.”

“I see.” Suddenly, Yu Huai had a new question. “But how can he guarantee that we will kill Tu Zhan in the chaos. Besides, Tu Qing is the leader of the army. He is Tu Zhan’s son. There is no reason to send his son to kill Lao Tzu. Moreover, when Tu Zhan died, he was very sad and even took Tu Zhan’s corpse at risk. ”

Wang Hu added: “yes, he doesn’t look like he’s pretending.”

Yu Heng smiles coldly, and suddenly draws his sword to stab Wang Hu. The latter is shocked, and quickly jumps to one side. Rao Shi dodges quickly, and a strand of hair is cut off in his ear. Without waiting for him to stand firm, the sword light catches up with him like a ghost.

Wang Hu’s left and right blocks were in a mess. He managed to avoid the series of attacks. He was in a cold sweat. He was panicked and aggrieved. “Your Highness, my subordinates What did you do wrong? ”

Yu Heng did not answer, but said: “my martial arts than Tu Zhan how?” Without waiting for Wang Hu to answer, he said, “don’t lie.”

“Your Highness is superior in martial arts, but better than Tu Zhan…” He looked at the expressionless Yu Heng and carefully said, “it’s a little bit short.”

“What about your martial arts compared with ordinary soldiers?”
