Chapter 1039 General Zheng Comes to Help

"It's my uncle! It's my uncle who brought people here!"

Qiao Dong, who was standing on the roof, had sharp eyes and saw at a glance General Zheng rushing towards the front of the team on a tall horse with a spear in hand.

Following closely behind him on horseback was Mu San.

It turned out that as early as after repelling the coalition forces for the first time, Qiao Ran had expected that these people would launch a second attack, and most likely a sneak attack at night.

Although they had high-intensity flashlights and headlamps, they were indeed at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and she did not want any more deaths among Zheng's army and the villagers.

So he asked Mu San to ride back to the city in the dark to ask for help.

When General Zheng met Mu San and heard him say that Zheng's army and the villagers of Qingshui Village were surrounded by the coalition forces of the six kings, he ignored King Ping's repeated obstructions and would rather disobey King Ping's order and rush over with his men.

In his heart, King Ping has always been a traitor who sought to usurp the throne. Before, he had no choice but to obey his arrangements. But now that his parents and relatives are in trouble, how could he just sit there and do nothing?

Anyway, my father said that the Zheng family army supports a wise ruler, not a fake emperor who is not legitimate and uses the emperor to control the princes.

Ranran also said that the old prince was on his way back to the capital, and they should support the Dingbei Palace instead of the tyrannical Prince Ping.

With the participation of the large camp outside Beijing, Zheng's army was not much behind in numbers and had the upper hand in energy, so the battle situation changed from a stalemate to a one-sided defeat.

An hour later, the coalition forces of the six kings once again left behind more than 20,000 corpses and fled into the dense forests on the mountains, never daring to come out again.

The coalition army of six kings, which had 130,000 troops left in the previous battle, was hit hard again, with only 110,000 troops left. Even if the 30,000 troops of the Sea King were added, there were less than 150,000 left.

That night, the troops in the camp outside Beijing did not return to the camp, but slept together with Zheng's army in tents and beside the fire.

The women of Qingshui Village did not sleep. They spent the whole night boiling ginger soup, making noodle soup and steamed buns, and sent them to the soldiers in a steady stream.

When the day came, the coalition forces of the six kings did not launch another raid, but they also did not return to the camp.

Because climbing a mountain is not easy! Moreover, it is at night, which makes it even more dangerous.

Not to mention the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts, you can't see the road clearly at night and may fall into a ravine or cliff, and die in vain.

So everyone spent the second half of the night in peace.

The next morning, the unyielding coalition of six kings launched another surprise attack.

This time, the casualties were even more severe.

Of the 110,000 troops in the coalition army of six kings, only 80,000 were left.

The casualties of Zheng's army and the camp outside Beijing were less than 10,000, with more than 70,000 remaining.

If they fight face to face again, the 80,000 troops of the Six Kings' coalition will not be able to defeat these 70,000-plus people.

At this time, the six princes especially hated the Prince of the Sea who fled from the battlefield.

If he hadn't escaped with 30,000 men, they wouldn't have lost so badly!

So the six angry kings gave up the fight and led their men up the mountain again to leave the Devil's Valley.

The six kings who came down the mountain did not rush back to their respective camps, but made an appointment to go together to settle accounts with the King of the Sea. They were determined to teach the damned Seventh King a lesson and divide up all his men and supplies.

However, when they rushed to the Sea King's camp, they found that it was already empty. The Sea King actually ran away!

It turned out that after the Prince of the Sea led his troops back to the camp, he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, but also more and more afraid he became.

He knew that if he escaped secretly, he would definitely arouse public anger, and his brothers would not let him go.

He was afraid that the six kings would come back to settle accounts with him, so he hurriedly ordered his men to break camp and flee overnight.

He wanted to go back to his fiefdom, be a good prince, and never get involved in this bullshit battle for the throne again.
