Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter 25 The villain goes to the spring, and the righteous Qingcheng is the city
The battle between Qingcheng and Shangquan Xinyi ended with the victory of the Great Qi Army, and the soldiers were cheering, but King Guhong, as the commander, did not seem to think that things were so simple, but secretly arranged for Xu Lin to mobilize part of the troops. So, which unit did he transfer? What is the arrangement?
This matter will be put aside for the time being. In fact, not only King Guhong, but Qingcheng also seems to be dissatisfied with Shangquan Xinyi's attitude. And he looked at the cheering soldiers, and he didn't want to hit them immediately, because he knew that they had waited too long for this victory.
As for Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi, since he threw down the saber in his hand and said that he had admitted defeat, there seemed to be no further action, but he patiently watched the soldiers of Daqi celebrate. Qingcheng was even more dissatisfied with his performance.
"Shangquan Xinyi, since you have already admitted defeat, my Great Qi Wang Shi will not rush to kill them all. However, immediately order your troops, lay down their weapons, and stand aside to wait for the attack. At the same time, let go of the hostages in your hands. If you cooperate, I promise that we will not attack again. ”
After Qingcheng finished speaking, the soldiers of Daqi also stopped cheering and looked at the pirates with waiting. On the one hand, Qingcheng's leading soldiers can convince them from the bottom of their hearts, and as the main general of the victorious side, Qingcheng led them to regain their dignity, which made them respect Qingcheng even more.
On the other hand, Qingcheng can be regarded as reminding them that there are still hostages waiting for their rescue in the hands of the other party. However, after listening to what Qingcheng said, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a statement, he just chuckled and glanced in the direction of the hostage, and then turned his head to look at Qingcheng.
"General Duan is brave and invincible, leading the troops well, and Shangquan is ashamed of himself. My brothers will sacrifice in vain, and they should surrender. But Kamiizum, please ask the general, how can we guarantee that after we hand over the hostages, we will be able to escape with all our bodies? ”
Listening to his words, Qingcheng frowned, and thought to himself: As I expected, it is not as simple as I imagined.
"Shangquan Xinyi, you are facing the king of the Great Qi of Lang Huaxia, and you will do what you say. As long as you surrender and let them go, I will stop the attack, which is what we said at the beginning. But what do you say? Retreating? You seem to have misunderstood, or you want to regret it. ”
In what Qingcheng said, Kamizumi Nobuyoshi smiled bitterly and said, "The general is not strange. If it's just Shangquan alone, if you lose to the general, you should be at your disposal. But I can't help but plan for these brothers. ”
"Hmph, you don't give me more rhetoric", Qingcheng sharply accused, and continued: "I tell Shangquan, you invade my territory and disturb my people, and I have my own royal law to sanction me." If you surrender today, I promise you a fair trial, but if you want to bargain with me, I advise you to dispel that idea sooner rather than later. This is not a duel between us, let alone a personal vendetta, this is a war between countries, and I can't, don't want to, and won't let you go! ”
Qingcheng's words were conclusive, and the soldiers of the Great Qi Army hurriedly echoed him after hearing what he said, and shocked the pirates with their shouts. Looking at this situation, Nobuyoshi Kamiizumi sighed lightly, made a helpless expression, and said, "Hey, then there is no way." Please forgive the general, Shangquan can't let these brothers live and die regardless of them, and let them be slaughtered. ”
After Nobuyoshi Ueizumi finished speaking, he put his toes on the hilt of the saber on the ground, and then exerted his strength on his feet, and saw that he kicked the saber on the ground to the front of the hostage, and the strength of his feet was so strong that his saber was directly inserted into the ground. The pirates immediately understood, and some of them took control of the hostages, while the rest surrounded Nobuyoshi Kamiizumi and waited for him.
Looking at the sudden situation on the pirate's side, Qingcheng didn't seem surprised, and after snorting coldly, he shouted: "Shangquan!" Less clever words. Tell you, I expected you to turn back, because I don't believe brutes can speak! I also tell you, I have been prepared for everything, and you will not escape today. I advise you to surrender at once, the opportunity is fleeting, and then it will be too late for you to regret it. ”
After Qingcheng finished speaking, Lei Ying gave the order tacitly, and all the soldiers of Daqi shouted angrily, and at the same time, the archers pulled their bows and arrows, and the spearmen and infantry weapons stretched forward, just waiting for Qingcheng to give an order, and they could attack at any time.
However, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi didn't seem to intend to obey orders, he chuckled and raised the saber in his right hand, slowly pointed in the direction of the hostage, and said, "Where did the general speak?" When will Shangquan have to retort. Before the war, Kamiizumi only promised the general that as long as the general won, he would definitely protect the safety of the hostages, but he didn't say anything about handing over the hostages. ”
As he spoke, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi glanced at the subordinates guarding the hostages and continued, "Also, please don't intimidate me and others. Shangquan is timid, if the knife falls with a shake in one hand, it is inevitable that someone's head will fall to the ground. In the current situation, Shangquan really didn't dare to anger the general again, let alone fight against the general again. But please also ask the general to take a break from the anger of the thunder and think more about the safety of the hostages. ”
Shangquan Xinyi's words are threatening Qingcheng, but the hostage Qingcheng in his hands really can't be saved for a while, and if he really wants to fight again, he may not be able to maintain it completely. Otherwise, with Qingcheng's anger at this moment, he will definitely let these beast corpses be all over the field.
However, his father once warned Qingcheng that hostages are important, but once they lack confidence during negotiations and lose to the other party in aura, they will only be led by the nose. As a result, people often can't be saved, and the enemy will have a chance to escape smoothly.
Therefore, even though he was worried about the safety of the hostages, Qingcheng did not show a trace of hesitation, but instead signaled Lei Ying with his eyes, ordered the soldiers to press forward, and said sharply: "Shangquan, if I were you, I wouldn't do this." I advise you not to have any illusions, and I am not afraid to tell you that the commander of the Wanli Army, Mu Wangye, is outside, and I will consider the safety of the hostages, but Mu Wangye, what he wants is to annihilate all the pirates. So now I'm talking to you, you still have a chance, if you really have to get to that point, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to say a word. ”
As he spoke, Qingcheng raised his hand and signaled, and the soldiers stopped. And after he thrust the thunderbolt into the ground, he took a bow from the hand of the soldier beside him, drew the bow and arrows, and said: "As long as I give a signal, the 10,000 vanguard troops outside will immediately rush in, and then you see who else will talk to you." ”
Qingcheng's words are not all bluffs, and Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi understands that King Guhong, as the coach who supports Linhai City, urgently needs a big victory, so he and Qingcheng naturally look at the problem from a different angle. Moreover, when King Guhong conquered Haichuan back then, he also killed countless enemies, and he still had an impression of Shangquan Xinyi, and he also knew that the former was not a good man and a woman.
"The general said it very well, and Shangquan also thanked the general for his righteousness. Therefore, the general should rest assured that as long as Kamizumi is still there, he will ensure the safety of all the hostages, as he said before the war. This is also out of respect for the general. But please also ask the general to respect himself, if he continues to act, Kamizumi will have to be a person who does not keep his promises. ”
As he spoke, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi waved his right hand, and the saber in his hand fell slightly. The pirate over there saw it in his eyes and naturally understood what he meant, and immediately raised the weapon in his hand and made a gesture to cut off the head of a hostage.
"Don't you think about it!"
Looking at the situation in front of him, Qingcheng, who had already prepared, immediately released an arrow and shot the pirate with one arrow. The pirate reacted so quickly that the pirate was killed by an arrow through the head before he could see the arrow.
After shooting the pirate, Qingcheng drew his bow and arrows again, and the archers on the side of Daqi looked at the scene just now, and they all turned to the direction of the hostages, aiming at the pirates over there. Looking at this situation, Kamizumi Nobuyoshi frowned slightly, and then smiled: "I didn't expect the general's archery skills to be so superb, think about it carefully, Kamizumi would like to thank the general for not killing just now." ”
As he spoke, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi's right hand naturally fell, and then he bent down and bowed to Qingcheng. What he was referring to was that when Qingcheng was in a duel with him just now, he didn't try to shoot him, but simply duel.
"Shangquan, this is the difference between me and you, the difference between my Daqi army and your Haichuan bandits. Since I have promised to fight with you, I will only defeat you with dignity and keep my promise. But as for you, you only have the opportunity to thank you, and you are not qualified to be admired! ”
Qingcheng's words were sharp, and Kamizumi Nobuyoshi knew that he was wrong, so he didn't make much excuses, but raised his right hand again, the tip of the knife was still pointing at the hostage, and said: "What the general said is reasonable, but please also ask the general to respect himself." If I really want to fight again, I don't think the general can protect all the hostages. There are always one or two, and Izumi's self-confidence can be killed. ”
Listening to Shangquan Xinyi's words, Qingcheng snorted coldly, and after putting down his bow and arrow, he actually said: "I know what you are thinking, you always feel that you have the overall situation in your hands. But alas, you'll soon regret it. Listen, I can get the soldiers out first, and give you a little more time to think about it. But you remember, I did this not only to protect the safety of my Daqi people, but also to not let the filthy blood of your waiting fall on this blessed land of my Daqi! ”
After speaking, Qingcheng really ordered all the soldiers to retreat to guard outside the mine. Looking at his actions, Fujiwara asked puzzledly, "What does he mean?" ”
Fujiwara was puzzled, but Nobuyoshi Kamiizumi knew it. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Hey, thank you General Duan." ”
"Report! Oh no, there are Daqi soldiers and horses in ambush in the three secret passages, and our people were chased and killed by their cavalry as soon as they went out, and they suffered heavy casualties. ”
"What?! There are ambushes in three secret passages? And cavalry? ”
On the side of Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi, the pirates who originally planned to quietly evacuate in the secret passage were ambushed by the cavalry of Daqi as soon as they went out. Originally, they were like frightened birds, but they were chased and killed by the cavalry, and naturally there were many casualties.
originally thought that he would drag Qingcheng in front and let his subordinates evacuate quietly first, and then make other plans by himself, so that he could steal the day.
After all, they rarely use a few secret passages around, and few of their own people know about it, let alone believe that the soldiers and horses of Daqi will know. However, as Qingcheng said, he really regretted it.
And this, naturally, is Qingcheng's arrangement. However, even if the overall situation is in hand, Qingcheng has encountered problems.
"Young master, evacuate quickly! King Guhong mobilized the artillery battalion to shell the mine and annihilate all the pirates! ”
"What!"
