The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 179 The capital is close at hand
More than half of the Tianyun army suffered casualties, and the main general fell into a coma, which made the morale of the entire army low and panicked.In the end, under the discussion of the generals, he immediately ordered the army to rush to the capital at full speed. He must rush to the capital as soon as possible before the Eternal Army bypassed Yaoshan, otherwise, if he was chased and killed by the Eternal Army cavalry, the entire army would be exhausted Died on the way.

So the army set off immediately, and after stationing [-] soldiers and horses in Yaoshan County, they abandoned most of their luggage and moved forward lightly.Nearly [-] troops hurried down the mountain and rushed towards the capital with all their strength.

On the third day, the Tianyun Army was less than thirty miles away from the capital, and standing here, they could see the shadow of the capital from a distance.

Zhang Yi had already come to his senses. At this moment, he looked at the capital very excitedly, crying bitterly, "We are finally here, we can go home!"

All the generals choked up when they heard the words.For two days and one night, the army traveled seventy or eighty miles a day, and many soldiers fell down on the road from exhaustion, unable to get up again.Now the entire army is tired and weak, with black eyes and tinnitus. If there is an army of soldiers and horses coming now, I am afraid that no one will be able to take up weapons and fight again.

"Order the army to recuperate on the spot and restore their physical strength as soon as possible." Zhang Yi suppressed his excitement and calmly ordered, "Light up the unique beacon fire of our Tianyun Army, and notify the people in the capital that the reinforcements have arrived."

The order was quickly executed, and a black and white smoke billowed up, forming a conspicuous mark on the sky.This move was originally very risky, because such a conspicuous wolf smoke would not only let people know, but at the same time expose his tracks to the enemy.However, it doesn't matter at this time, the capital is just around the corner, even if the enemy finds out, there is nothing they can do.

Soon, this wolf smoke immediately attracted the attention of everyone within a radius of fifty miles.On the eastern plain, Tuo Muxiong looked at the beacon in front of him, frowning slightly. He didn't expect the Tianyun infantry to run so fast. According to the location of the beacon, it is estimated that it is more than 40 miles away from him, and far from the capital. But only about thirty miles away.He pondered silently for a while, and then resolutely ordered, "The infantry dismounted and marched forward, and all the cavalry marched forward on two horses at one person!"

In Floating Cloud City, the generals guarding the city wall immediately spotted the beacon smoke, and after carefully identifying it, couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Brothers, look at that beacon smoke, that is, that is our reinforcements, the reinforcements have arrived!"
Everyone stretched their necks to watch carefully the smoke and the blurred black line under the smoke. After a while, the whole army burst into cheers, shaking the whole city.

The sound spread into the imperial city, and when the emperor and ministers of Tianlue Hall were puzzled, a eunuch rushed into the hall happily, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, our reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!"

"What did you say? The reinforcements have arrived?" Bai Yunting suddenly stood up and asked nervously.

"Your Majesty, it's here. It's really here. Look, there's the beacon fire." The eunuch danced happily, pointing to the outside of the hall.

"Let's go!" Bai Yunting stepped down from the imperial platform excitedly, and led all the officials to walk outside the hall.Sure enough, when everyone walked out of the hall, they immediately saw a black and white wolf smoke rising from the east.

"Our reinforcements have arrived. General Zhang Yi is here with a large army. The capital is saved." Hu Chengjing fell to the ground without any image, laughing.

Bai Yunting tightly clenched his palms, looked at the wolf smoke over and over excitedly, and then turned around and asked, "Does anyone know how far General Zhang Yi and the others are from the capital?"

"Your Majesty, judging by the size of the wolf smoke, General Zhang Yi's army is still about [-] miles away from the capital." A general next to him calculated carefully before saying.

"Thirty miles?" Bai Yunting frowned slightly, "That's at least half a day's journey away. Now that General Zhang Yi lights up the beacon, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the enemy troops outside the city. We must restrain the enemy troops outside the city to prevent them from escaping. , as long as General Zhang Yi leads the army to arrive, he can wipe out the enemy army in one go."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, now that General Zhang Yi's army has arrived, the enemy army will definitely want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape. Our army must go out of the city to intercept the enemy army with all our strength." A general stood up and said immediately.

"What do you all think?" Bai Yunting was still not at ease, and looked at the crowd again.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

"Okay, then order the whole army to go out of the city to fight." Bai Yunting looked at the wolf smoke, and his confidence doubled.

"Kill!" The gate of the capital city was opened, and countless Tianyun troops rushed out of the city, killing towards the barracks of the Eternal Army.In particular, [-] cavalry filed out and went straight to the rear of the enemy's barracks, preparing to prevent the enemy from escaping.

The camp of the Eternal Army was also in chaos. At this time, they saw the smoke from the rear, and immediately knew that they were enemies but not friends.Since the Tianyun reinforcements are about to arrive, doesn't that mean that the [-] army led by the God Emperor has been wiped out?Upon learning of these changes, people in the camp were immediately panicked, not knowing what to do.

Now the Tianyun army in the capital is suppressing the camp, and the number is at least nearly 10.Another [-]-man cavalry went around the battalion and blocked the retreat road.The Eternal Army Lord was very anxious, but he had no other choice at this moment, and immediately ordered the army to defend with all its strength to withstand the attack of the Tianyun Army.

Nearly 10 people rushed forward, and the two sides fought fiercely inside and outside the barracks.Thirty miles away, Zhang Yi saw thick smoke billowing suddenly in the direction of the capital, and flames blazing.I couldn't help being shocked, not knowing what happened, and immediately ordered the army to stop repairing and rush to the capital immediately.

The reinforcements rested for less than half an hour, and their physical strength had not yet fully recovered.But the soldiers didn't say much. At this time, the safety of the capital is the most important thing, and they have to rush to support it even if they are desperate.

So, the army set off immediately and marched hard to the capital.

Less than an hour after departure, countless huge roars sounded from the east, and a group of cavalry rushed to the place where Zhang Yijun had just repaired.Looking at the unextinguished fire on the ground, Tuo Muxiong's face changed slightly, unexpectedly he came a step late.At this time, the cavalry was running around continuously, already exhausted, and wanted to take advantage of their last breath to surprise the opponent, but unexpectedly, the opponent left first.

At this time, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the capital, with a cold light in his eyes, "The whole army continues to advance, the enemy army is not long here, we can catch up, let's go!"

The army continued to gallop forward rumblingly, but Tuo Muxiong was secretly anxious at this time, because just now he had faintly seen black smoke in the direction of the capital, and it seemed that a big battle was taking place.Even though the 5 soldiers and horses in the Eternal Army camp can hold the barracks, once the Tianyun reinforcements arrive, the [-] soldiers will be finished.

Time passed bit by bit, the battle in the barracks was still going on, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but neither one was willing to back down, and the battle situation became more intense as time went by.At this time, Zhang Yi was only a dozen miles away from the capital, and he could faintly hear the shouts of killing coming from the opposite side.

At this time, a dozen cavalrymen came galloping from the opposite side. As soon as they saw Zhang Yi's army, they excitedly showed their tokens and asked to meet the general.Zhang Yi hurriedly recruited him to ask about the situation in the capital.Only then did I know that when His Majesty knew that he had arrived, he immediately went out of the city to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's camp, restraining the enemy's army and waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing wryly when he heard the words, the reinforcements were now remnants, fleeing to the capital like a bereaved dog.The people in the capital, His Majesty and the ministers all regarded themselves as saviors.It's a pity, now that there are chasing soldiers, how can we still think about annihilating the enemy at this moment?
"You go back and tell Your Majesty that our army will be here immediately. Just ask Your Majesty to immediately send [-] cavalry from the capital to come over for reinforcements. There are still enemy cavalry following behind our army." Zhang Yi said with a reddish face.

"What? Enemy army? Haven't they been annihilated by you?" The visitor was surprised and asked in doubt.

Zhang Yi sighed a long time, and told him about his own situation, before he blamed himself with a gloomy face: "This is Zhang's crime. When I return to the capital, I will plead guilty to His Majesty."

"How could this be? How could this be?" The visitor was stunned, "I, I am reporting to His Majesty, General Zhang, I will resign from my humble position."

As he said that, he hurriedly urged his horse to the capital with his entourage.
