Chapter 25: Duan Zhirong Dies
General Lin sent a few of his close men to find a way into Qingguo from the other side, while the other men and horses began to rehearse new tactics. The soldiers found it strange because the war was now fought on the plains, but their new training content had added activities such as climbing the city walls and breaking down the gates.
Beiqi has returned to the small hotel with people in the past few days, but he has not slackened himself, and he has to compete with Huamian every day, constantly improving himself. On the other hand, Northern Qi also received a message from Chang Gui from the palace. Northern Qi did not let Chang Gui make his relationship with him public, but still lived as a loyal servant of the Queen Mother. In this way, from time to time, some rebellious people will take the initiative to contact Chang Gui, and Chang Gui will reassure them while communicating with Northern Qi to report these things at all times.
After Beiqi saw the letter that Chang Gui put to him, he smiled unconsciously and burned the letter. Turning his face to the flower face,
"Uncle Flower Face, after tomorrow's affairs are dealt with, you can go back and help Uncle Chang Gui deal with these things."
Hua Mian was a little embarrassed, after all, he had never left Northern Qi for so many years. Beiqi saw his worries,
"Oh okay, Uncle Flowerface, I can take care of myself now."
Huamian thought about it and agreed. Northern Qi is no longer small, and Northern Qi's martial arts are indeed very good, so Hua Mian agreed.
The next day, Northern Qi got up early, and then moved to the edge of the battlefield with Huamian.
"Your Majesty, you're here."
General Lin came to the front of the battle early, and when Northern Qi and Huamian arrived, the soldiers were already ready. As soon as General Lin opened his mouth, he leaked the identity of Northern Qi, and several people in the vicinity heard it very clearly, what General Lin said was obviously 'the emperor'. Hua Mian was a little unhappy, because he had already decided to leave tomorrow, and if he was angry and continued to stay here, it would not be good after revealing his identity.
Northern Qi was not unhappy. Just smiled at General Lin. Then he made a silent gesture to those who heard it around him, and everyone stopped looking at him one after another.
General Lin arrived to apologize, but Northern Qi waved his hand at him, meaning not to worry about this matter anymore.
"How. General Lin, are you all ready? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, when the war begins, the rear will immediately follow. The small detachment that went earlier. This may be the time to prepare. ”
Bei Qi nodded, looking at the soldiers who were about to move.
"Well, well done. This time, he took advantage of the night to wipe out all these people and directly pushed the front forward. Remember, the speed must be fast, the movement must be agile, don't be nostalgic for the battlefield, go straight through it and occupy a city, and we will decide what happens after dawn. ”
"Yes."
The reason why General Lin didn't see the map clearly when he returned to the camp that day was because the map was not the nearby terrain. It is the closest city to the border of Qingguo. When Northern Qi had been fighting with them for so long in this place, it was actually completely unnecessary, the reason why he did this was to stabilize the other party on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to find out the situation. Northern Qi had long since stopped taking the people of Qingguo in his eyes, and after the later army arrived, Northern Qi had already decided to kill him directly.
When it was almost dark, the Qingguo people thought that there would be nothing to do today, so they prepared food and prepared to use it, and then hurried to rest early. The soldiers all felt that it was Major General Duan who broke their battle, so they didn't dare to come for a while, and they didn't worry about eating early and going to bed early these days.
"Hey, why do you eat so much. Eat less, there is no big battle these days, let's save it. ”
The soldier was yelled at by the back kitchen when he was cooking, but the cook's big shoulders and round waist did not look like something to be messed with. The soldier walked away without saying a word.
Where is the cook, in fact, it is one of General Lin's subordinates. The people sent out divided the work, two of them infiltrated the military camp of Qingguo to prepare a poisonous meal, and the other people went to open the road in the city first. The two people who were sent to the barracks were very angry, but the other one was more sensible.
"How do you speak? Shouldn't they be told to eat more, so that they will save their energy for a while. ”
The cook thought about it too, and made a big spoon for the next person,
"Eat more, don't you hear, those fart kids in Northern Qi are coming!"
The reason why these two people were able to blend in was actually because Qingguo's army was not strictly managed, and it was easy for outsiders to get in. This is not Duan Zhirong's fault, this is Qingguo has no such experience at all, so not only the kitchen, but also many places have problems.
For example, there is no clear messenger, and the direct consequence is that General Lin's men easily infiltrate the city and occupy the city gates.
When it was completely dark, some soldiers intermittently showed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. The two men in the back kitchen felt that it was almost enough, and fired a flare. General Lin saw the signal that had been waiting for a long time and ordered his men and horses to rush out.
Knowing this time, Duan Zhirong discovered the problem in hindsight. When he heard the sound, he rushed out of the tent, and saw that there were traces of fireworks burning out in the sky of the position, and then the people around him fell one after another for some reason. Even he himself has a feeling of nausea.
"Major, Major."
The deputy general also had some abdominal pain at this time, and when he came out of the camp tent, Duan Zhirong grabbed him,
"Uncle Duan, Uncle Duan, what's going on, what was it just now."
Duan Zhirong pointed to the sky at a loss, with a vague and bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it. When the deputy general saw Duan Zhirong like this, he knew that Duan Zhirong was already panicking. This is not a good thing, as the leader of one party, if Duan Zhirong panics at this time, it means that they are about to finish.
"Major General, Major General, don't panic, Major General."
There was a louder voice, and it was getting closer. Duan Zhirong let go of the lieutenant general and walked forward step by step, and a large number of people and horses rushed towards this side with torches.
"This, this."
The lieutenant general was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to move so quickly. At this time, Duan Zhirong suddenly felt nauseous and unbearable, and he also knelt on the ground and vomited. The adjutant hurriedly held him up,
"Major General, Major General, don't worry, they will be here for a while."
The adjutant general wanted to say don't worry, our camp gate is solid, and they won't be able to break in for a while. But before he opened his mouth, he saw that the camp gate had been opened, before the Northern Qi army arrived.
The deputy general stopped talking, and directly carried Beiqi on his back and rushed to the stable in the rear. Duan Zhirong is a single lineage of the Duan family, even if there is anything else, that Duan Zhirong can't die. One after another, soldiers and squad leaders walked towards Duan Zhirong and the adjutant general, and asked,
'General, what are we going to do, don't we need to fight back. ’
'General, save me, save me. ’
'General, where are you going?' You can't go. ’
‘……’
More and more soldiers came around, and it turned out that the medicine was not a simple diarrhea medicine, and after a long time, it would foam at the mouth and die. The soldiers were all panicked, pulling at Duan Zhirong, who had also collapsed and was delirious. The adjutant general saw that there were more and more people around, and there were already people who didn't know where to come from, the Northern Qi army had broken through the camp gate, and in desperation, he drew the saber on his waist, and several people nearby were stabbed and fell.
"Get out of the way for me, the major general is responsible for you, but I am responsible for the major general, if you still want to die a little earlier, let the horse come."
Everyone didn't speak, and they retreated far away, and some thought that Duan Zhirong was the only son of General Duan, and they didn't want to dwell on the past feelings. The major general wanted to help Duan Zhirong onto the horse at this time, but he didn't want to be shot by the flying arrows.
"Whoever catches Duan Zhirong can get the antidote."
"Capture Duan Zhirong alive!"
"Capture Duan Zhirong alive! So where is the unproductive thing! Capture him alive! ”
"Capture Duan Zhirong alive!"
The crowd that had been scattered surrounded again, and the deputy general helped Duan Zhirong onto the horse, but he couldn't get out. There was no way, Qingguo's own people had to fight. I don't know if Duan Zhirong really has no strength or what, he has been lying on the back of the horse and looking straight at the people around him, without saying a word.
The adjutant was stabbed once, twice, three times...... Until he couldn't get up anymore, he knelt in front of Duan Zhirong's horse. When people saw that the last rescuer beside Duan Zhirong had fallen, in order to survive, these people surrounded him and prepared to capture his general alive and hand it over to the leader of Northern Qi to get the antidote.
But the arrows that flew from behind killed everyone.
The entire barracks had been slaughtered, and the fires had burned everywhere. General Lin had already rushed forward with more people first, and Northern Qi stayed to clean up the battlefield just to find the person named Duan Zhirong.
He has no antidote at all, he just spreads such rumors that everyone is killing each other. In the process just now, Beiqi was watching from the side, and said to Hua Yan with a smile,
"Uncle Flowery Face, you see, this is the people of Qingguo, the generals of Qingguo and the soldiers of Qingguo, who are unscrupulous and treacherous for their own interests. This is the good people under the good emperor of Qingguo. ”
Only this group of people who survived extremely strong survived to the end, but they didn't expect to be shot to death by the merciless order of Northern Qi.
Northern Qi was on that black horse, wearing a black night coat, only his face was white.
Therefore, Duan Zhirong clearly saw the mocking smile on Beiqi's face, and then closed his eyes.
After a night, General Lin personally wrote a battle report and sent it to Duanfu.
The Northern Qi army had broken through the border and occupied the border city, the Qingguo advance army was completely annihilated, and the leader, the general Duan Zhirong, died in the stable. (To be continued.) )
