Chapter 964: I Don't Want to Die
Yang Xiuqing had no boat in front of him, and thousands of soldiers were killed on the back road, and he and his less than 10,000 remnants were completely forced to a dead end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mu Guiying rushed forward, leading the Great Wei soldiers with unfinished killing intent, crashing into the remnants of the Taiping army like sharp blades, and the pear blossoms flew in the air, wildly collecting the heads of the enemy's pawns.
Under the rush of the Wei army, the remaining enemy troops were quickly torn apart, cut into pieces, and surrounded one by one.
Ma Chao was even more unstoppable, the iron cavalry rampaged directly, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers like a god of death.
In a moment, 10,000 Taiping troops were almost killed and wounded, and blood flowed from the river beach into Qinshui, staining the river along the river into a bright red.
Mu Guiying was already red-eyed at this moment, slashed wildly, and went straight to Yang Xiuqing's place, no matter what, he had to get this great achievement in his hands today.
Yang Xiuqing shrank under the protection of hundreds of dead guards, seeing his own army being wiped out, and seeing Mu Guiying unstoppably killing him, he couldn't help but be extremely sad and desperate.
The remaining soldiers, under the wave after wave of the Wei army, were swept by the huge waves, almost like the small boats of the sea, mercilessly swallowed by the huge waves.
He knew that the tide had been set, and he had no way out.
If he continues to resist, he and the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers will be killed by the Wei army, and he will not escape death.
In desperation, Yang Xiuqing suddenly moved the idea of returning to the potter.
In the blink of an eye, the idea fell apart.
He remembered the cruelty of the potters, how the princes who perished one by one were ravaged in the hands of the potters, and how could he, the second person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have good fruits to eat if they fall into the hands of the potters.
What awaits him at that time is probably a torture that is worse than life and death.
"This king is the king of the east of the kingdom of heaven, what kind of identity, how can he surrender to that Tao demon and be humiliated and tortured by him, this king would rather die-"
Driven by the residual self-esteem, Yang Xiuqing angrily drew his sword and wiped it towards his neck, and was about to raise his sword to commit suicide.
The blade of the sword was pressed against his neck, and in an instant, Yang Xiuqing really had such an impulse, after such a ruthless touch, he could sacrifice for the kingdom of heaven with honor, and become a famous and famous talk for eternity.
The blade of the sword slashed across his neck, a trace of blood seeping out, and the pain instantly irritated his brain, causing him to suddenly develop a deep fear.
It was the fear of death.
That fear overwhelmed his so-called self-esteem, overwhelmed his beliefs, overwhelmed all the thoughts in his heart.
There is only one thought left:
I don't want to die!
The sword blade stopped there, and he didn't cut half a minute again, Yang Xiuqing just held the sword like that, his body trembled, his face was distorted and tangled, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he stiffened in place.
Yang Xiuqing's forehead was dripping with sweat, and the beads of sweat were rolling down the brush, and in his field of vision, Mu Guiying had already tore through the chaotic army like a killing god, and was getting closer and closer to him.
"Alas-" With a long sigh, Yang Xiuqing raised the sword around his neck, slowly put it down, and plunged it into the ground.
After all, he still didn't have the courage to commit suicide.
The sword had been abandoned, and Yang Xiuqing stood in place so gloomily, waiting for Mu Guiying to kill.
A stream of blood splattered up, splashing Yang Xiuqing's body and face, and Mu Guiying slashed the last holy soldier who was blocking in front of him and crossed in front of Yang Xiuqing.
"What, Yang Xiuqing, don't you have the courage to commit suicide?" Mu Guiying looked down at him and said coldly.
Obviously, when she rushed to kill, she also saw that Yang Xiuqing wanted to commit suicide, but found that he didn't have the courage in the end, so she was naturally very disdainful in her heart.
Yang Xiuqing froze in place, ashamed and angry in the face of Mu Guiying's sarcasm, so angry that her face turned red and her fists clenched.
After holding back for a long time, Yang Xiuqing said in a deep voice: "The surname Mu, you are not worthy of talking to this king, only your emperor is qualified to talk to me." ”
"I'm not qualified." Mu Guiying snorted coldly, and suddenly her apricot eyes were stunned, and the silver spear in her hand slammed out.
Bang!
The barrel of the gun slapped Yang Xiuqing's skull, knocking her muffled snort, her body fell to the ground, and she immediately fainted.
"Come on, tie this guy up and keep it for the Son of Heaven to dispose of." Mu Guiying snorted.
The soldiers who came later rushed up and tied up Yang Xiuqing.
Mu Guiying rode his horse and danced his spear, and once again killed the remaining Taiping army.
Although Yang Xiuqing has fallen, these brainwashed Taiping troops are still resisting stubbornly and will not surrender.
Mu Guiying and Ma Chao, they didn't intend to give these fanatics a chance to surrender, they trampled over with iron hooves, killed the Taiping army like a river of blood, and killed 10,000 enemy troops cleanly, leaving no one behind.
At dusk, the killing finally ended.
The entire Qinshui coast was covered with corpses, half of the river was stained with blood, and countless corpses fell into the river and floated down the river into the sea, becoming a delicious meal for the fish.
The Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was captured, and the 40,000 Taiping troops were annihilated.
"General Mu, congratulations, you actually captured Yang Xiuqing alive and made a great contribution." Ma Chao, who came on horseback, had a little envy on his smiling face.
Mu Guiying said lightly: "General Ma didn't also behead Xing Daorong, but also made a great contribution." ”
Ma Chao smiled bitterly: "Just one Xing Daorong, how can the weight be compared with Yang Xiuqing, it's not worth mentioning." ”
Mu Guiying didn't want to say anything, just smiled, and suggested that he lead the army back to Panyu to meet Deng Ai, and at the same time send someone Pegasus to report the good news to the Son of Heaven behind.
"General Mu will go back to Panyu first, just divide half of the soldiers and horses to me." Ma Chao walked against the shore.
Mu Guiying was stunned, and Le Ma asked, "What does General Ma plan to do?" ”
Ma Chao raised the blood-stained silver spear, pointed to the west of Qinshui, and said proudly: "Now that Yang Xiuqing has been wiped out, I want to take advantage of the situation to kill Qinshui, go deep into the hinterland of Jiaozhou, and capture Bushan City in one go. ”
Mu Guiying frowned, and reminded: "I advise General Ma not to be greedy for merit, we have been running here for a long time, and after such a big battle, the soldiers are already extremely tired, which is not conducive to further expeditions, and Bushan City is an important town in Jiaozhou, and the Taiping Army must have heavy troops, and we have already exposed our whereabouts, and if we lose the first hand of the surprise attack, we may not be able to take Bushan City." ”
"If you can take it or not, you have to try it to find out." Ma Chao's tone was confident.
Mu Guiying had to remind again: "Since General Ma is so confident, I can't say anything, but the order His Majesty gave us was only to order us to save Panyu and destroy Yang Xiuqing, but it did not authorize us to march into Bushan City again." ”
Ma Chao said proudly: "The so-called general is outside, the king's order is not granted, such a good opportunity is in my eyes, if I don't seize it, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will blame it." ”
Seeing that Ma Chao insisted on this, Mu Guiying couldn't say anything, after all, the two of them had the same power, and there was no power for anyone to control whom.
At that moment, Mu Guiying gave half of his troops to Ma Chao, led his own troops and horses, and went to Panyu to meet Deng Ai.
Ma Chao led 15,000 cavalry and ordered the soldiers to immediately cut down trees and build bamboo rafts to cross the Qinshui River and take Bushan City, the seat of Guilin County.
……
Three days later.
The 60,000-strong cavalry army marched south along the mighty Qinshui and arrived at the north of Panyu City.
The "Wei" word imperial flag flew proudly, the potters in golden armor marched forward, looking at Panyu City with eagle eyes in the distance, and when they saw the flying Great Wei battle flags, a smile of relief appeared on the faces of the heroes.
Panyu City.
Deng Ai had already organized the army and broke down the sealed Quartet Gate overnight, restoring the internal and external smoothness.
At this time, Deng Ai and Mu Guiying, who had already led the victorious soldiers, greeted them outside the north gate to welcome the arrival of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing from afar that the imperial flag was near, the two of them rode up to meet them, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down to the potter.
Looking at these two heroes, the potter couldn't close his mouth happily, jumped off the horse and helped the two of them up, stroked their shoulders, and said with a pleased smile: "Shizai, Gui Ying, you two have made such miraculous achievements for me, it is really hard for you, and I am very satisfied with your performance." ”
"Your Majesty is extraordinary, and he dares to use his ministers...... The minister's strategy has a chance to succeed, and the minister never dares to ...... Meritorious. Deng Ai said humbly.
Mu Guiying also smiled faintly and said: "The minister was just pursued by His Majesty's order, and His Majesty was like a god, and he speculated that Yang Xiuqing would come to capture Panyu. ”
The potter laughed, although the two generals' sycophants were very useful and comfortable, but this reward was still indispensable, so he immediately ordered to increase the food for Mu Guiying, and ordered Deng Ai to be promoted to a miscellaneous general and enter the pavilion.
Although Deng Ai and the others did not take credit in their mouths, how could they not look forward to the reward in their hearts, they were naturally grateful, and repeatedly thanked the county.
"What about Meng Qi, where are the others?" Only then did the potter find out that Ma Chao was not there.
Mu Guiying reported Ma Chao's insistence on dividing half of his troops and going to take advantage of the situation to capture Bushan City, and reported it to the pottery merchants.
"After this battle, the soldiers must be exhausted, and it seems a little reluctant to attack Bushan again." The potter's brows condensed slightly, but he said: "But since Meng Qi has this confidence, let him give it a try, after all, this is an opportunity." ”
The potter did not reproach Ma Chao, and immediately accompanied by Mu Guiying and Deng Ai, he walked into Panyu City with his head held high and went to the county capital.
The seat of Nanhai County, the most prosperous port in the southern Xinjiang of the Great Wei Empire, and the throat of the South China Seas, have finally returned to the territory of the Great Wei.
In the city, the people who had been poisoned by the Taiping Army, hearing the arrival of the Emperor of the Great Wei, came out spontaneously and knelt on both sides of the street to welcome the grand occasion of the savior and the entry of the potters into the city.
Today, after experiencing the ravages of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they truly realized how merciful the potters were.
The potters proudly accepted the worship of their subjects, entered the county hall, entered the hall, and took their seats with their heads held high.
Mu Guiying stood at the bottom of the stairs, brushed his hands and shouted: "Come on, bring Yang Xiuqing's traitor to Your Majesty!" ”
