Chapter 242: King Jin, you are old!
After trying to persuade King Jin to no avail, Jiang Chen decided to withdraw from Juyu Pass with 30,000 new troops and 5,000 silver-armored guards.
After hearing the news, King Jin was so angry that he fell ill.
For a moment, Juyu Pass, which originally housed 80,000 people, became empty.
This also brought the already low morale to a freezing point.
After learning the news, Le Bo and Chang Yuchun were very happy.
"Brother Chang, it looks like we can finally start taking action."
"Yeah, but this thief Jiang Chen ran pretty fast."
After taking the information from Le Bo and reading it, Chang Yuchun laughed and said.
But when he thought of the 20,000 Ming troops that were previously wiped out by Jiang Chen, a cold light immediately flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Chang, please be patient."
"'The monk may escape, but the temple cannot', as long as Juyuguan is breached."
"By then, the entire Xia country will be just a group of lambs to be slaughtered!"
Seeing Chang Yuchun's expression becoming unhappy, Le Bo hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Haha, that's true. Jiang Chen can't run away."
With Le Bo's persuasion, Chang Yuchun's anger instantly dissipated.
…
As the sky gradually darkened, a cold wind whistled across the city walls of Juyu Pass.
Feeling the temperature around them getting colder and colder, the soldiers guarding the city walls moved closer to the fire nearby.
At this moment, a captain under Xiong Kehui came to the top of the city wall.
"Brothers, hurry up, I baked some steamed buns, eat them while they're hot!"
The centurion said to the soldiers with a smile, and led the soldiers behind him to distribute steaming hot baked buns to the soldiers on the top of the city.
I have to say, it’s really nice to eat a piece of steaming hot baked bun in such cold weather.
For these soldiers who are guarding the city walls in the cold wind, it is a very satisfying thing!
Just as everyone was eating toasted buns and chatting excitedly about family matters.
Suddenly, in the city shrouded in darkness, the sound of footsteps came from far away.
Hearing the noise, a vigilant soldier quickly dropped the toasted bun in his hand and shouted loudly.
"No, there is an enemy. Quick, prepare for battle!"
After being reminded by this soldier, all the soldiers came back to their senses.
But before they could react, the centurion drew the sword from his waist.
The next second, the soldier who had just shouted the warning fell in a pool of blood.
In the light of the fire, a bright red blood flower bloomed on the white snow.
After chopping down the soldier in front of him, the centurion raised his sword and roared loudly.
"Kill them all, open the city gates, and let General Le in!"
Following a loud roar from the centurion, the soldiers who came with him swung their knives at their comrades beside them.
After clearing out the thousand men on duty on the city wall, the blood-soaked centurion opened the city gate.
At this time, outside the city, looking at the wide-open city gate, Le Bo excitedly waved his sword.
"The city gates are open, brothers, follow me and kill!"
"Whoever captures King Jin will receive a reward of 1,000 taels and be granted the title of Marquis of 1,000 Households!"
Hearing the rewards shouted out by Le Bo, all the Qi soldiers excitedly rushed into Juyu Pass.
Chang Yuchun was not willing to be outdone and led a group of Ming troops to follow the Qi army.
In a short time, an allied force of more than 60,000 troops rushed into Juyu Pass.
The soldiers under the King of Jin, who were still asleep, were suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves.
When they came to their senses, they didn't even bother to put on their armor, but directly picked up their swords and rushed out of the tent.
But as soon as they rushed out, they were chopped to the ground by the soldiers of the Qi-Ming coalition.
Prince Jin, who was lying on his sickbed, woke up quickly when he heard the shouting and killing sounds everywhere.
" Someone, someone, go out and see what's going on!?"
The King of Jin, who was awakened by the shock, loudly called the guards outside the tent and asked hurriedly.
"My Lord, this is bad, the city... the city gate has been breached!"
Before the guards could run out to investigate the situation, He Yunfeng and Xiong Kehui ran in.
Upon hearing what Xiong Kehui reported, Prince Jin stood up angrily.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"As long as I am here, Juyu Pass will not be breached."
"Come here, prepare your horses, and follow me to drive these bandits out!"
King Jin shouted loudly and put on his armor with great pain.
Then, under the protection of 5,000 personal guards and 10,000 troops from Xiong Kehui's headquarters.
Prince Jin took the lead and charged towards the coalition army that was slaughtering He Yunfeng's troops.
Chang Yuchun, who was leading the Ming army to slaughter He Yunfeng's troops wantonly, was having a great time killing.
But I heard shouting and killing coming from not far away!
Following the sound, Chang Yuchun immediately saw the King of Jin rushing towards him.
Although he did not know the Prince of Jin, Chang Yuchun had heard that the Prince of Jin was good at using a long spear.
At this time, seeing the five thousand elite guards around Prince Jin, it was easy for him to recognize Prince Jin.
Thinking of this, Chang Yuchun shouted excitedly.
"Hahaha, what a coincidence ! Let me meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Le Bo, who was standing beside him, didn't have time to come to his senses.
Chang Yuchun had already mounted his horse, and with his three thousand cavalry guards, he rushed towards the King of Jin!
As Chang Yuchun and his men fought with King Jin and his men, many people from the two equally matched armies fell on the snow in an instant.
Chang Yuchun even raised the long axe in his hand and chopped away the personal guards of Prince Jin who were falling in front of him.
He moved forward and chopped directly at King Jin with his axe.
Facing Chang Yuchun's long axe, King Jin snorted coldly and raised the long spear in his hand into the air.
With a clear "dang" sound, Chang Yuchun, who was riding his mount, actually took a few steps back with his horse.
Feeling the tremendous force coming from the long axe in his hand, Chang Yuchun's fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect King Jin to be so powerful. He really didn't disappoint me!"
"Humph, I haven't used my full strength yet!"
After hearing Chang Yuchun's words, King Jin did not give him a chance to react and raised the long spear in his hand again.
Looking at Prince Jin who was rushing towards him, Chang Yuchun smiled disdainfully.
"Prince Jin, you are already old. You are no match for me!"
After a loud shout, Chang Yuchun did not hold back any longer and chopped the long spear with the long axe in his hand.
As the long axe and the long spear collided violently, it was King Jin's turn to suffer a defeat!
King Jin only felt a huge force surging into his body, like a long whip, whipping his lungs!
"puff--"
Under Chang Yuchun's powerful blow, King Jin, whose old injury had relapsed, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Looking at the King of Jin who was spitting blood, Chang Yuchun smiled grimly and the long axe in his hand fell again.
It seemed that Chang Yuchun’s long axe was about to chop off the King of Jin’s head.
Xiong Kehui, who was killing Chang Yuchun's cavalry guards nearby, saw this and hurriedly rode over on his horse.
"Ming army thieves, don't hurt my lord!"
