Volume 3 The Debater Chapter 129 Persuasion
Soon after Xie Qi rushed into the city gate, he had already noticed that something was wrong, the gate of the urn city was closed, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying in front of the door.
Immediately after that, the sound of fighting sounded on the city wall.
"It's not good, Zhongji, retreat!" Xie Qi's reaction was not unpleasant, the gate of the urn city was closed, coupled with the sound of fighting from the city, he noticed something bad for the first time, and quickly turned around, ready to rush out with people, this time in order to be able to succeed in the surprise attack, he brought all the elite people in the rebel army, once these people are gone, even if there are tens of thousands of rebel sect members outside the city, it will be useless.
It's just that in the end, he was a step slower, and when he turned around, the drawbridge had been slowly pulled up, and then Pei Feng rushed down the city with the remnants of the city, and saw Xie Qi entering the city in person from a distance, and couldn't help but change his complexion, and shouted from afar: "Retreat quickly, in the middle of the plan!"
While speaking, Fang Yue had already come to the city with a team of men and horses, and wanted to close the city gate, Xie Qi saw this, and he didn't have time to be held accountable, so he pointed the sword in his hand at the city gate and said: "Sons, kill me out!"
Kill~
At this moment, they have no way to retreat, if Fang Yue closes the city gate, then waiting for them, there is only a dead end, these people who followed Xie Qi to kill in, are all elite soldiers of the rebel army, one by one is extremely brave, very different from ordinary rebels, at this moment, I heard Xie Qi's order, one by one roared and brandished weapons and launched an attack on the city gate.
"Papapa~"
In the sky, dozens of jars fell sharply and smashed into the crowd, and a pungent smell spread in the crowd, but at this time, where could those rebel troops still manage this, and one by one they rushed towards the officers and soldiers who had already lined up with red eyes.
Behind Fang Yue, a row of archers quickly clustered the arrows stained with tung oil on the torches and lit them, Fang Yue looked indifferently at these rebel troops who were rushing wildly, and his raised right hand slammed down.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
A row of rockets instantly submerged into the crowd, and many people were splashed with tung oil, and at this moment, when they encountered the fire, they suddenly shouted, and clusters of flames scurried up in the crowd and quickly spread in all directions.
"Ah~"
Although these rebel troops can be called elite, but after all, they are flesh and blood, the flames are stained, and under the scorching heat, even the iron man can't hold it, many people fall directly to the ground and roll up, wanting to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but in this way, many rebel troops who have not been ignited by the flames have also suffered from the seedlings, and the tung oil flowing on the ground is quickly ignited, and before the time of tea, the vicinity of the city gate has become a sea of fire, and even Fang Yue and others guarding the entrance of the city gate feel a dry mouth, and the lineup of the rebel army is even more fragmented because of thisγ
"Shoot the arrow!" Fang Yue looked indifferently at the rebel army that broke through the sea of fire and rushed towards this side, and gave the order to shoot with an expressionless face.
The two hundred archers in formation loosened their bowstrings, and the rebels who had been lucky enough to break through the fire were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
"Rush ~ rush over!" Xie Qi's face turned pale, the formation had been disrupted, after these days of fighting, he was already very clear about the army's dependence on the formation, even if the rebel army that lost the formation could barely rush up, it would suffer heavy losses, but at this moment, Jiang Qiao obviously did not leave him a chance to rearrange the formation, even if he knew that there was a fire pit in front of him, he had to jump in.
The range of the flames was not large, but it completely disrupted the formation of the rebel army, although the rebel army continued to rush out, but the rebel army was more like a target of the official army, and was constantly shot.
Around the urn city, rows of officers and soldiers raised torches high to look down on these rebel troops, and a thousand archers who had been arranged by Jiang Wan walked up to the wall of the urn city in an orderly manner, just when Xie Qi was about to fight hard to attack Fang Yue, he had already shot the formation, just waiting for Jiang Weak's order, these rebels in the urn city were the turtles in the urn.
After the arrangements were made, Jiang Wan stood on top of the West Gate Tower under the escort of Yeluqi and Wang Hai, and a soldier picked up a drumstick and struck it on a gong fiercely, and the sound actually suppressed the sound of fighting in the urn city for a moment.
After the gong sounded three times, Jiang Miao stood up, looked down at the rebels in the urn city, and said loudly: "You are now a turtle in the urn, how long will you resist?"
Jiang Wan looked delicate and looked like a weak scholar, but when he opened his mouth at this time, he was angry with the three armies, and with the power of those three gongs, he completely suppressed the sound of fighting.
"Jiang Weak~" Xie Qi raised his head, facing Shang Jiang Weak's smiling face with the victory in hand, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he let out a heart-rending roar: "You don't have to be complacent, although you are defeated today, my rebels will definitely avenge me tomorrow." β
"That's his day. Jiang Qiao smiled, looked down at Xie Qi, and exclaimed: "It seems that there is no one available in the rebel army, you are the commander-in-chief, you should be in the army, this surprise attack, you are the commander of the army personally led the team, even if there are many people, what is the use, I regard it as a mustard?"
Xie Qi felt bitter in his heart, among the rebels, it is not really that there are no talents, such as that Liao Chun, now that he thinks about it, he has generals, but unfortunately he can't use it, so that today's defeat is so squeezed by Jiang Wan at this moment, Xie Qi wants to justify, but he feels that any explanation is pale and powerless, so he can only be silent.
"God has the virtue of a good life, although you are rebellious, but after all, you are still the people of my emperor's country, and many of them are the people of this country, this official really can't bear to slaughter them, as long as you put down your weapons and kneel on the ground to surrender, this official guarantees with personality, as long as you don't do such rebellion and chaos again, this official is not to blame!" Jiang Wan looked down at those rebels, sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "Think about it, you should also have a family, wife and children, right?" Even if you are loyal to the leader of the rebels, but these days, you have been loyal to the battle, killed the enemy, and made meritorious contributions, but if you die in battle, what will happen to your family? Will the leader of the rebel army still remember you?"
In the urn city, those rebels looked at each other when they heard this, although they were the elite of the rebels, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were also willing to charge for the rebels, but at this moment, the general trend has gone, they have become the turtle in the urn, and their hearts will naturally disperse, especially Jiang Weak's last sentence, which has broken most people's mental defenses.
"Mess with our army's heart?" Xie Qi looked up at Jiang Liang and gritted his teeth.
"The overall situation has been decided, what do you have to mess with? This official just doesn't want to make more killings!" Jiang Wan shook his head, and before he could say more, his eyes suddenly froze.
Beside Jiang Qiao, Yeluqi and Wang Hai took a step at the same time, each swinging their weapons and cutting a cluster of arrows into three.
Above the city tower, Jiang Qiao frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to push aside Yeluqi and Wang Hai who were blocking in front of him, and looked down at the crowd in the urn city.
But seeing that in the crowd, a rebel general stood proudly beside Xie Qi, the bowstring of the longbow in his hand trembled, seeing Jiang Qiao's eyes, the arrogance on his face gradually dissipated, and he threw away the longbow in his hand with a wry smile, and hugged his fist at Jiang Qiao: "Pei Feng has seen the envoy." β
