The fire burned for an hour before it was extinguished, and the Japanese generals Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Keiji, and more than 8,000 soldiers under their command were all burned to death in the valley.

After the fire was extinguished, Qi Jiguang sent people into the valley again, and only after confirming that there was no longer any way for the Japanese army in the valley to live, he ordered the army to return to the city.

。。。。。。。。。。

"My lord, my lord, good news, good news!"

Just when Qi Jiguang led the army back to the city, in the Donglai County Office, the staff who had previously offered advice to the county guard rushed to the county guard with an excited face and said: "My lord, the Japanese army that Qi Jiguang will commit in the future lure into the Qingfeng Gorge and burn it all with a fire. ”

"All the Japanese army has been wiped out? What about Qi Jiguang? What about the losses of our army? ”

The county guard stood up and looked at the staff member with a shocked face.

"Qi Jiguang used fire to attack this time, so the soldiers and horses who went out to fight were almost not damaged!"

"That's good news for!"

When the county guard heard the news, he was not happy and angry, and said: "I thought that even if Qi Jiguang could repel the Japanese army, he would definitely suffer heavy losses, so as long as we operate properly, we can count this credit on my head." But now the thousands of people who have left the city all know that this battle was fought by Qi Jiguang, and there are many people, and I am afraid that this news cannot be hidden. ”

"Don't worry, adults!"

The staff member who reported the news smiled gloomily and said: "According to the information provided by Neiying we sent to Qi Jiguang's hands, when the Japanese army was trapped in the valley by Qi Jiguang, they asked Qi Jiguang to surrender, but Qi Jiguang did not accept it, and burned all these more than 8,000 people to death in the valley!" ”

"Qi Jiguang, this fight is a prisoner!"

When the county keeper heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, and laughed: "Hahaha, that's great." This Qi Jiguang is really just a reckless man, he has been ominous in killing prisoners since ancient times, and the official punished him with this crime, and when the time comes, those civil officials in the court like Pei Ju and Su Wei will definitely stand on the side of the official. ”

The staff complimented and said with a wicked smile: "What the lord said is extremely true! ”

After laughing for a long time, the county guard finally stopped, glanced at his staff and said, "You immediately go and mobilize all the henchmen and sergeants of the official in the city, and when Qi Jiguang returns to the city with his army, he will be taken down immediately, and he will be executed immediately after reading his charges." ”

This county guard is also vicious, he knows that although killing prisoners is a taboo, but Qi Jiguang used less than 2,000 soldiers and horses to eliminate several times his own Japanese army, so this ability will inevitably be valued by military figures, so he plans to get rid of Qi Jiguang first. As long as Qi Jiguang dies, even if the military figures are dissatisfied at that time, presumably those civilian officials will stand up for themselves.

The staff member understood, and immediately sneered and said, "Don't worry, the villain will definitely handle this matter!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

When sending troops to resist the enemy, it was important to pay attention to the speed of the soldiers, so when Qi Jiguang led the army to Qingfeng Gorge, it took only one day.

However, now that the attacking Japanese army has been annihilated, the march naturally does not have to be as desperate as before, and it is necessary to walk day and night, and only after walking for two days and one night before rushing back to the city.

At this time, Qi Jiguang only relied on 2,000 county soldiers to wipe out the news that the more than 8,000 Japanese troops had been wiped out throughout the city, and after the Japanese army landed, all kinds of atrocities had already made the people of the city hate them to the bone, and Qi Jiguang, who had completely destroyed the Japanese with weak troops and kept the peace of one side, was naturally regarded as a hero by the people of the city, so when Qi Jiguang's army appeared not far from the city, the people spontaneously rushed to the city gate to welcome the return of Qi Jiguang's army.

"General Qi is mighty, General Qi is mighty!"

When Qi Jiguang led the soldiers and horses into the city gate, the people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly shouted in unison.

"Thanks to General Qi, if we let that group of murderous and unblinking pirates enter the city, we little people will all suffer!"

"Yes, General Qi saved our lives and is our great benefactor!"

。。。。。。。。。。

Listening to the praise of the people, Qi Jiguang also waved to the people with a smile and said in return: "Fathers and fellow villagers, we are all soldiers, and it is our duty to protect our family and defend the country!" ”

At this moment, the staff who had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time on the order of the county guard led dozens of soldiers to squeeze through the cheering crowd and shouted: "Where is Qi Jiguang? I'm here to bring you to justice on the orders of the county keeper! ”

This loud shout made the ordinary people who were still cheering loudly stunned, and looked at the staff member who was riding on his horse and the dozens of soldiers around him with a shocked expression.

Qi Jiguang sighed helplessly, turned over and dismounted and walked to the staff, and arched his hand and said: "Although the last general was forced to be helpless that day, it was indeed against the coercion of the county guard. ”

"Hmph."

The staff showed a grim face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said loudly: "Qi Jiguang, the county guard remembers that you are also to protect the people outside the city, and I don't want to cure you for the crime of disobedience." But who would have thought that you would be so vicious, and the Japanese army begged you to surrender after being trapped in Qingfeng Gorge, but you turned a blind eye and burned all these thousands of creatures to death. The county guard has an order to take down Qi Jiguang and use his head to pay tribute to the thousands of dead in Qingfeng Gorge. ”

"What, you want to kill General Qi Jiguang!"

There was an uproar in the crowd, and several generals under Qi Jiguang drew their swords out of their sheaths, glaring angrily at the people who came to arrest Qi Jiguang and shouted: "Who dares to come over?" Dare to move General Qi, let's pass our level first. ”

"Are you going to rebel?"

The staff pointed to Qi Jiguang's generals and said: "My Central Plains has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, Qi Jiguang killed thousands of prisoners, such an act is against the way of benevolence and righteousness, if you don't severely punish the four seas, how will all neighboring countries think of my Great Sui?" ”

"Fart!"

An anxious general strode forward, pointed at the staff's nose and scolded: "If there is no General Qi, I am afraid that at this time, the Japanese will have already entered the city to cut off your dog's head, you sour Confucian don't know how to be grateful, and you even have to punish General Qi for the death penalty for a group of beasts who have lost their conscience!" ”

"That's it!"

Another general also said angrily: "Since the landing, this gang of Japanese robbers has done all kinds of evil acts of burning, killing and looting, and I don't know how many people along the coast have been murdered. I would like to ask you, did they ever have half a sense of righteousness when they started to kill? ”

"Yes, General Qi saved the people of our city, why did he kill him because of those beasts?"

Under the leadership of several of General Qi's subordinates, the crowd was agitated for a while, and I don't know who was the first to make a move, in short, in the end, all the people and sergeants at the city gate rushed forward frantically, beating the staff and dozens of soldiers around him to death.

"Brothers, fathers and fellow villagers. Since it's all like this, then just don't do it, first go and take the life of the dog who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and will only frame the loyal county guard, and then reason with the court, no matter what, we have to save General Qi's life! ”

"Yes, that's right!"

"That's right!"

The angry crowd was not angry because of the death of the staff and others, and under the leadership of Qi Jiguang's several generals, they all went to the government to kill, no matter how Qi Jiguang pulled and dissuaded, he could not stop the crowd from advancing.

When the tide of people broke through the palace, the county guard, who was still sitting in the high hall and waiting for the good news of his staff, could not escape and suddenly ended up with the same fate as his subordinates.
