Chapter 199: Infighting
"No. Flash" the Guards replied, and then retreated.
Li Xiang lifted his forehead, only felt a pain in his head, and said to the hundred officials: "I suddenly have a headache, let's be here this morning, you Aiqing retreat." ā
"The emperor takes care of the dragon's body." The hundred officials shouted, and Li Xiang didn't pay attention to them, but walked directly to the harem.
And Zhang San's side had already arrived in Xingyang, and Cui Wuxu, the Taishou of Xingyang, looked at the mighty army outside and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, do you want to attack it directly?" Qianxing asked.
"Don't be in a hurry, make a move to surrender, and surrender if you can." Zhang San said.
"No." Qian Xing replied and retreated, and the Dayan army camped in place.
"General, that's an army of 900,000 down there, how can we stop it?" The Pioneer Officer asked.
"If you can't stop it, you have to block it, at least you have to consume a lot of their troops, so that you can have a chance of winning later." Cui Wuxu said.
"Yes." The Pioneer Officer replied.
After a while, the vanguard officer came over and said, "General, don't hold on, they are also tired of traveling and driving, and they should not attack the city today." ā
"No, they are coming in a mighty way, and they may attack the city at any time, I am watching here, and I can command it as soon as possible." Cui Wuxu said.
"General, the other party is pointing crossbow arrows at us." A soldier shouted.
Cui Wuxu immediately looked at it, and the rows of Xuanjia soldiers in between, holding crossbow arrows, were ready to fire.
"Be careful, everyone, the other side may be about to attack the city." Cui Wuxu shouted.
One by one, the soldiers were as cautious as if they were facing a great enemy.
"General, why do I think their crossbow arrows are at the wrong angle." The Pioneer Officer asked.
"Indeed, it was as if it were pointing to the sky." Cui Wuxu also found out and said.
Then, the crossbow bolts were fired, and thousands of arrows broke through the air, and the rows of soldiers at the head of the city fell directly, but more arrows swept through the city and flew into the city.
"General, there's something on this arrow." A soldier shouted.
"Is it a rocket?" Cui Wuxu asked.
"No, it's paper." The soldier replied.
Cui Wuxu pulled one from a corpse, and sure enough, there was a piece of paper on it, and Cui Wuxu took it down and opened it.
"My Dayan is ordered by the heavens, in addition to the Dao, passing through Xingyang today, I don't want to be ruined, I specially issued a letter of surrender, as long as the city is surrendered, my Dayan will never hurt it, kill Cui Wuxu, promise to seal 100 households, 1,000 taels of gold, if Cui Wuxu takes the initiative to take the lead in surrendering, seal 10,000 households."
"General, this is a letter of surrender." A soldier shouted cheerfully.
Cui Wuxu took a look at it and said: "Why are you so happy when you say that you surrender, the guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, disturbs the morale of the army, and should be beheaded according to the law, and he will be dragged out and beheaded." 35xsā
"General, spare your life, General spare your life." The soldier shouted.
"Spare your life, it's impossible." Cui Wuxu said.
"General, what should I do?" The Pioneer Officer asked.
"This must disturb the morale of the army, so quickly search the whole city and burn it all." Cui Wuxu said.
"General, no, several soldiers suddenly opened the city gate and ran out." A soldier came in a hurry.
"What? Shoot me, and I'll see who dares to surrender. Cui Wuxuan said angrily.
Immediately, the soldiers at the head of the city drew their bows and arrows and shot outward, but not all of them shot outside the city, and many people's bows and arrows suddenly turned and shot at Cui Wuxu.
"General be careful." The vanguard officer shouted.
Fortunately, although Cui Wuxu is not a master of the inner family, he is also a strong man in the outer family, and these arrows were defeated one by one with a matching sword.
"Arrest them for me." Cui Wuxu shouted.
More than a dozen soldiers were immediately arrested.
"Why did you assassinate me? Say, "Who sent it?" Cui Wuxuan said.
But there was no sound, and after a while, a soldier shouted: "What was sent, we went directly to surrender except to live, there is nothing left, and you surrendered, but it is the Marquis of Wanhu, this is not fair, but fortunately, take your head to surrender, I can also get benefits, and you will not get anything, how good is this." ā
"You bastard, I usually take you with you a lot." Cui Wuxu shouted.
"If you really want to be good to us, you should surrender in Kaecheng now, my mother is still at home waiting for me to come home for dinner, if you don't surrender, it's a question of whether I can eat tonight." One of the soldiers said.
"That's it, our family is behind us, but we can't stop the army outside at all, if we die, our relatives are sad, forget it, when they enter the city to burn and loot, my relatives will have to suffer." Another soldier shouted.
"My wife just got pregnant, can't I live to see the baby born?" One of the soldiers said.
"I haven't tasted the taste of a woman yet." Someone said lonely.
"Xiao Tao is still at home waiting for me to go back and get married." Someone cried.
"I miss my mother, I want to go home." In the whole city, everyone was silent, and one by one they bowed their heads and wept, thinking of their families.
"My son was just born, and I didn't even go home to see it, and I didn't even hug it once." Someone said.
"My mother is still waiting to be paid for treatment." In the face of the mighty army outside, no one is not afraid, how good it is to be able to surrender at this time.
"General, there is a riot in the city, and the people are shouting for Kaesong to surrender one by one." Said the pioneer officer.
"I know." Cui Wuxu replied weakly.
"General, surrender, we can't stop it at all." The pioneer officer persuaded.
"Vote? I eat the imperial court, this armor is also the imperial court, and this position is also the imperial court, so let me vote like this? The grace of dripping water is still reciprocated, I voted, is it the emperor's trust? Are you worthy of the brothers who died fighting for me? Cui Wuxu said.
"But ......" the vanguard officer wanted to say.
"One general succeeds and ten thousand bones are withered, this ten thousand bones are not the enemy, and we are ah, so many brothers have piled up my general with their lives, I can't be sorry for them, and I can't be sorry for the general you called." Cui Wuxu seemed to be too tired and was already sitting at the head of the city.
"General, Datang is already dying, and it is useless to guard it like this. Isn't there also a saying that those who know the times are handsome? The general voted for it. The pioneer officer said.
"Don't say it, I won't vote." After saying this, Cui Wuxu looked at the silent soldiers around him, as well as the soldiers who were crying and going home.
And crying and shouting beside the soldiers who had just died, they were brothers, and all the men in the family had come to join the army, but before the fight began, there was no one.
Cui Wuxu stood up, pestle his sword, and looked out of the city.
"Here, I'll leave it to you." Cui Wuxu said to the pioneer officer beside him.
