Chapter 159
No matter how the people of the Sang family thought about it, how embarrassed they were, how they couldn't give up the wealth given by the Dou family, and they were not optimistic about them, and wanted to bet on the Xu family, it had no meaning for Xu Hui - as long as the strategically important Yangyi was laid, Sangjiawu Fort was a lonely city, and there was no offensive value at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Even if the people of the Sang family hide in the dock fort for a hundred years and hide for a thousand years, it doesn't matter, as long as they can endure loneliness, the stored food is enough to live for so long.
Five days later, Yangyi was broken.
At the same time, Xu Hui got the news that Xu Su would marry Liang Qing, the son of Liang Kui, and Yanmen County, north of Taiyuan, also ushered in a crucial turning point.
There are nine stops in the world, headed by Yanmen; East and west wings, undulating mountains; Surrounded by mountains and dangers, it is a fortress that has defended the Hu people throughout the ages.
It has been robbed repeatedly, but again and again ushered in a new life, only the people in charge of Yanmen's defense and internal affairs know that Yanmen County seems to be the same as before, majestic and unbreakable, but over the years again and again with the Hu people's conquest, and can not get sufficient supplies, Yanmen has long been like a tree that has been hollowed out by insects, it seems to be tenacious, can withstand more wind and rain, but the layers of strength are superimposed, and one day, the light snowflakes can also crush it. What's more, where is the snowflake facing Yanmen now, but a big hail that is rare in a century?
Yanmen County, 20 miles away from Yinguan County, outside a fortress that has only been built for ten years and guards the main traffic arteries, an extremely tragic scene is being staged.
Between the moat and the city walls, and above the walls, dozens of trebuchets seemed to work incessantly, smashing them into one deep pit after another, and outside the pits, in addition to the burning fire, countless severed limbs and shapeless corpses.
Swarms of flies that were not afraid of death hovered over the corpses, buzzing and buzzing tirelessly. Maggots crawled all over the corpses of the deceased, and the blood pooled into streams, seeped into the ground, or coagulated into blood clots, staining everything around them red.
Qi Zhong stood on top of the fortress, even if he was so tired that he was about to fall down in the next moment, his posture was still upright, and his expression was still calm.
Due to the lack of manpower, the lack of food and grass, the lack of support from the allies, and the full assistance of Buddhism to the Hu people, such as leaking intelligence, secretly arranging, etc., in the face of complete adversity, as well as the vast army of hundreds of thousands of Hu people, even if Qi Zhong is a famous general with a good eye and a good sense of the overall situation, he can't help but blow such a series of blows.
No matter how coincidental the woman is, it is difficult to cook without rice, and the people he really has on hand and can be trusted, compared with the army of the Hu people, it is too pitiful. Even if his two most useful sons went deep into the enemy's hinterland and broke tens of thousands of people with a thousand people, so what? The Hu people were determined to go south to the Central Plains, and the follow-up forces continued to flow, until the end, to the end......
"Fetch me a basin of cold water." Thinking about what happened half a month ago, weakness came up unconsciously, Qi Zhong couldn't tolerate his sleepiness, so he commanded. After a while, several people came up with wooden barrels, Qi Zhong looked at it, and found that Qi Fang, who was the leader, was pale and blood-stained in his clothes, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Duanning, how did you get here?" ”
In order to disturb the enemy's rear, he sent his two most useful and excellent sons to him, and he was ready for them to go and never return. Who expected that Qi Fang's life was big, he was hit by more than a dozen arrows in his body, more than 50 knife wounds, the gun was broken, and the armor was concave, but he was forced to take a breath and was brought back by a few remaining personal soldiers.
Many senior doctors in the Yin Pavilion had seen Qi Fang's injury, and said in unison that Qi Fang's injury was too serious, and he was depressed and needed to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he had only been back for a few days, but he was seriously injured and ran to the city.
Qi Fang put down the bucket in his hand, his qi and blood were insufficient, his eyes were black, he was a little unsteady on his feet, and his voice was even weaker: "My son doesn't want to be a waster." ”
"Nonsense!" Qi Zhong glared at his son fiercely, and said angrily, "If you don't take care of your body like this, you will really be abolished, and you will be fine if you recuperate!" ”
Hearing Qi Zhong's words, Qi Fang looked at the heads of the people of Yanmen hanging not far away, not to mention that there were hundreds of extremely hideous bamboo poles, and smiled miserably: "Cultivation? The doctor told his son to relax, but his son, his son thought about it...... I hate myself for being useless! ”
Seeing that the Hu people had been attacking Yanmen for a long time, the Buddha Gate finally tore off its kind mask and dealt a heavy blow to Qi Zhong - they had been operating for many years and had already had a certain amount of power, and Qi Zhong had transferred most of his henchmen and elites to strategic places in order to resist the Hu people, so that the people of Buddhism seized the opportunity to open the door to meet the enemy.
That night, the sky above the Yin Pavilion was dyed red with blood and fire, and the Qi family was surrounded by the tiger and wolf soldiers of the Hu people. Qi Zhong's wife saw that the general trend was gone, so she summoned several daughters-in-law and grandchildren over, asked them to save the face of the Qi family together, not to do things that insulted the reputation of the men in the family, and told the daughter-in-law and grandchildren categorically that even if they died, the men of the Qi family would definitely avenge them. As long as there is a man in the Qi family alive, after a hundred years, there will be no shortage of a bowl of rice for their whole family!
The Hu people hated Qi Zhong to the core, and they had long had the idea of humiliating his family and eating the flesh of his wife and son, who would have thought that Mrs. Qi would be so fierce that after letting the whole family commit suicide, she set a fire, and would rather break the bones and scatter ashes than be humiliated by the Hu people? Qi Fang easily picked up a life, and when he heard the news, he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and fell into a coma again.
When he left, his beloved son was less than 100 days old, and for his family and country, he had already saved the heart of death, thinking that the desert yellow sand was his only destination. Who would have thought that the person who should have died survived, but the person who was absolutely safe died?
Seeing his son's demeanor like this, Qi Zhong looked around, and his heart became a little heavier.
His subordinates originally had five captains, and there were countless commanders, but these days they have been defending the city again and again, and the familiar faces are not there one by one, and ninety percent of the attendees have become brand new, and they are still a little childish, but they have been tempered by blood and fire to the early vicissitudes of life.
The casualty rate of officers is so high that you can imagine how many soldiers died. In fact, there were only 500 soldiers left in the fortress, and half of them were slightly or seriously wounded.
If you can wait for reinforcements, it will be fine, but knowing that there is no hope in this battle, in addition to stubbornly delaying time, you will not be able to ...... at all
If, if the dynasty can be changed and a new dynasty can be established, instead of the current situation, the court will be in a corner of peace, and the north will be independent. This way, this way...... Desperate......
Thinking of this, Qi Zhong's eyes were blazing and terrifyingly bright, and he saw a hand knife that knocked Qi Fang, who had no defense against him at all. Then he turned his face sideways, and the personal soldier named Qi Ba, who trusted him the most, ordered: "Just now, I received a letter from Brother Xu, saying that someone had rushed to that place. After that, he paused, and then said with great difficulty, "Old fellow, settle him...... Please! ”
He had promised to fight until the last moment with the generals. But watching his sons and grandchildren die one by one, even if he is as strong as him, he can't withstand such a blow. Sending away the most useful and appreciative son Qi Fang, and retaining a trace of the Qi family's bloodline, is the last selfishness of this doomsday hero.
The princes of the Northland, only Xu Ze has a good eye for heroes, and he does not dislike his background and behavior, except for Xu Ze, he is loyal to him, and no one believes it!
Qi Ba had tears in his eyes and responded solemnly.
Hearing that his unconscious son was sent away, he estimated the distance of the carriage in his heart, and then looked at the flag hanging over the heads of people in the distance, Qi Zhong raised a faint smile.
Hold on for another seven days, just hold on for another seven days.
Qi Fang woke up quickly, and when he saw that he was lying on the carriage, and the originally cracked wound was carefully bandaged by the accompanying doctor, he knew that something was wrong. He struggled vigorously to go back, but was restrained by several strong pro-soldiers, who either knocked him unconscious or used a few hemp boils to calm him down.
Qi Zhong, who ran out of ammunition and food, did not last seven days, and on the evening of the fifth day, the fortress was completely breached, and the Hu people's iron cavalry broke in, like a torrent, to drown everything.
Qi Zhong did not retreat or avoid, and greeted him with a small number of personal soldiers, obviously all of them were wounded, but they were like thousands of troops, unstoppable. Qi Zhong waved the horse lance in his hand and knocked off the horse one after another, but was blocked by a tall and bearded Hun man.
He knew this person, the Xiongnu nobleman, and also the warrior they admired, Mao Da.
That angry, distorted, hateful face was so close, but so far away. He saw Mao Da's mouth open and close, as if asking something, but the voice was unusually distant.
I can't hear clearly! However, it doesn't matter if he can't hear clearly, he understands that what Mao Da wants to ask is nothing more than to ask him who grew up in the Xiongnu, why he betrayed them, and let the Hu people enter the Central Plains, the opportunity to enter the Central Plains is twenty years late.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of when he was a child, at that time, his father was a small staff member under the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang, and his life was quite comfortable. The slave of the Han family scolded him for being the son of a traitor, and he angrily fought with the other party, and after beating the other party to the point of bleeding, he told his father excitedly, thinking that he could be appreciated, but he was directly slapped by his father twice.
Many years later, his father angered King Zuogu Li over a trivial matter and was dragged to death by a horse. His mother hugged him and wept and told the past, and he learned that the reason why his father took refuge in the Xiongnu was just an expedient measure for three generations of the family to keep his wife and the child in her womb. Even in the Xiongnu, he never refused to give advice to the Hu people, let alone his son really thought that he was a Hu person - no matter how many things they did for the Xiongnu, in the eyes of the Hu people, the Han people would always be just a dog, and the difference was only in the use and non-use.
When a husband comes to the world, he needs to be upright, how can he be a dog? His name is Zhong, not loyal to the Huns, but loyal to the Han people, loyal to the Huaxia Sheji!
Thinking of this, Qi Zhong didn't know where he got the strength, brandished the horse lance, endured the violent neighing in his ears, and shouted: "I am the son of the Han family, not the Hu family-"
The next moment, the shouts of killing, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of weapons colliding were completely away from him. He fell from his horse, and the world in front of him completely lost its color.
Knowing that his left chest was pierced, but he didn't feel any pain, at the last moment, Qi Zhong thought that it was not his only bloodline Qi Fang left in the world, but Yanmen County, which had been ravaged and exhausted over the years.
"After all, it never ...... Keep...... Fathers and fellow villagers ......" (to be continued.) )
