Chapter 1247: The Unreconciled Meng Zan

Zou Sheng had just taken off his armor, his clothes already soaked with sweat, and before he could even bathe, he heard a report.

"Read it!"

He did not even turn his head.

"General, it is a top-secret letter... from Tsarist Russia."

"Oh?"

Zou Sheng raised an eyebrow.

Tsarist Russia?

At a time like this, a letter from Tsarist Russia was still quite strange.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As a great general of Liangzhou today, he knew that there was an intelligence agency in Liangzhou that had been built by a young master single-handedly.

Could it be some information sent back from there?

"You may withdraw!"

Since it was a top-secret letter, it was better to read it alone.

Sure enough, upon opening the letter, the content inside was in a special code.

Zou Sheng's spirit stirred, and he hurriedly took out a book; this book was the "Heart Learning" written by the young master!

Then, he matched the content above according to the special code.

When he translated this code, his whole person stood up in horror, his face full of shock.

The content was as follows.

"The Tsar is dying."

"Poison the military rations!"

Simple and easy to understand!

The Tsar, the Tsar Peter who once swept across the entire world, was dying? This matter was absolutely a massive event for the current Tsarist Russia! To put it bluntly, Peter was the spiritual symbol of Tsarist Russia; the reason why Tsarist Russia, which lacked domestic supplies, had been able to expand outward all along was precisely because of Peter's existence! The reason they could always be invincible was because of Peter's existence. It was Peter's existence, added to that group of generals who were famous throughout history, that created the current glory of Tsarist Russia!

If...

If Peter died!

The ambition of Tsarist Russia to expand outward would collapse in an instant!

Then the Tsarist Russia Army currently invading Longyan would also have their morale collapse in an instant!

The war would end in a very short time!

This...

This news truly shocked Zou Sheng.

And then, following closely behind...

Poison the military rations!

This idea also made him gasp!

Good heavens!

Was this the power of the intelligence agency?

If these two things could really become reality, then no matter who Rumyantsev was, no matter who Ushakov was, they would be unable to reverse the direction and situation of the entire war!

"Good!"

"Hahahaha, good!"

Zou Sheng, who had matured a lot now, could not help but laugh out loud. He was no longer the young man from before who was wet behind the ears and unreliable in his work. His complexion had begun to turn dark, and his beard had begun to grow thick. His whole person looked incomparably robust.

War could temper a person.

If it were really like this, then this war, which was expected to last for many years, would end in the short term!

"I must return to Liangzhou once!"

Zou Sheng suddenly said.

This matter was no small thing. Since this letter had come into his hands first, he naturally had the responsibility to go back and make arrangements.

Regarding this matter, the other generals naturally had nothing to say.

Although Zou Sheng did not explain why he was returning, for the past few months, the fact that they could hold the Northwest was entirely Zou Sheng's credit; it was he who had racked his brains, and it was he who had worked day and night to coordinate the overall situation.

It was only right for him to go back and rest for a few days.

The battle in front of Jinghua City was still continuing.

Meng Zan was actually having a bit of a headache fighting.

He did not know why, but the defenders of Jinghua were sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

Clearly they had just held the upper hand, but

just when they wanted to advance further, the defenders of Jinghua would beat them back again!

In short, no matter how they fought, they would not let them get close to Jinghua City!

"Damn it! What the hell is going on!"

Meng Zan could not keep his composure anymore.

He always felt that something was not quite right.

However, it was hard for him to figure out what kind of medicine Yu Chen was selling in his gourd!

What he did not know was that Yu Chen was currently fishing.

"Infantry and Crossbowmen, move out! Cover the Cavalry!"

Seeing that the situation was about right, Yu Chen gave the order again from the top of the city wall.

At once, the Cavalry, coordinating with the Infantry, charged out again.

The Jinghua Cavalry, which had clearly been on the defensive just moments ago, were charging once more. This time, they had the cover of the Infantry on both flanks.

The Wild Goose Formation on the Youzhou side was directly broken open.

"Hold them back, hold them back for me!"

Meng Zan was acting like a madman again.

However, what kind of equipment did this Jinghua Infantry have? What they were wearing was fine armor produced in Liangzhou!

The range of these Crossbowmen was also terrifyingly immense.

The situation was reversed once again.

Meng Zan's expression sank in an instant.

With one hundred thousand fighting twenty thousand, not only had he failed to gain any advantage, but he had also suffered several massive losses in a row; annihilating these twenty thousand troops was now hopeless.

At this moment, Meng Zan had a new idea.

Such top-tier combat power must be all the elite forces from Jinghua City; Jinghua City must be empty now. If the Infantry went to attack the city at this time, he believed there would certainly be gains!

After deciding, Meng Zan ordered his Marshal's Personal Guard to go and relieve the Infantry that were being pinned down by the Jinghua Cavalry.

Although this might cause the Youzhou Cavalry to fall into an even more passive position, he had no choice but to take a gamble now.

The combat power of the Marshal's Personal Guard was very strong, and since they had not been affected by artillery fire, their fighting spirit did not fall behind; through their reinforcements, the Youzhou Infantry quickly broke free from the entanglement of the Jinghua Cavalry, and then, without stopping, headed straight for the Jinghua Imperial City.

At this time, the order Meng Zan gave them was: Jinghua is just an empty city; whoever is the first to scale the city gate will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces and titled a Wanhu Marquis!

With such heavy rewards, even the Youzhou Infantry, who had just been beaten into a rout, reignited their fighting spirit and charged toward Jinghua City with a roar.

They had originally thought they would easily take Jinghua City, but they did not expect the defense of Jinghua City to be unusually stubborn!

On the city walls, thunder stones and rolling logs were being hurled down continuously in countless numbers; they simply could not charge up.

Scaling Ladders were set up, but the people who went up were all smashed back down; the city walls could not be taken at all!

Since the city walls could not be taken, they could only set their sights on the city gate. After paying a certain price, although they pushed the Battering Ram to the city gate and smashed it open, once the gate was breached, they saw countless people holding Firearms aimed at them.

Although the gate of Jinghua City was the widest of all the gates, at most only a few dozen people could enter at once; it was not an easy task for these people to charge in.

The Youzhou Army kept charging in endlessly, while bullets were constantly greeting them.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the city gate was piled high with the corpses of the Youzhou Army. Although there were heavy rewards following behind, the current charge was no different from throwing their lives away. After seeing the battlefield flowing with blood, the Youzhou soldiers also sobered up; although they had not yet received orders, they all fled the battlefield one after another.

Seeing the retreating soldiers, Meng Zan hurriedly ordered the supervising troops to go and stop them, but the defeat was now like a mountain collapsing; the supervising troops were already useless.

The Cavalry were entangled by the Infantry, and the Infantry were also in a rout...

Retreat?

This thought suddenly sprouted in Meng Zan's mind.

But...

He was still somewhat unwilling! Pop-ups have been frequent lately, click to download to avoid pop-ups.
