Chapter 22: The King of Soldiers (5)

When they came out of the palace, Liu Dehao and Wu Nian's white-clothed couple outfits had been dyed into red-clothed newlywed suits.

"My Lord!" Lobby said.

Liu Dehao and Wu Nian were expressionless, I don't know if it was because they learned of the prince's death or because they had killed too many people.

"Zhangzun, listen to me, there is no Liu Jiaotou in this prison. Only the king's envoy was rescued, and the thief king, we also found him, he was a little seriously injured, and now he can barely speak. They were all sent out of the city. ”

Liu Dehao was weak: "Spread false news to the outside world, just say that we have successfully mobilized the forbidden army, no matter whether we can bring Tong Wen back or not, transfer the soldiers from the south to me and ambush Tong Wen, I don't want to live, I want his Tong Wen's head!" ”

"Yes!"

Wu Nian helped Liu Dehao sit on the chair: "Brother, don't be like this, you still need to be rational now, if the changes in the world are affected by your emotions, then the world will be completely chaotic, this is not what you want." Calm, calm down. ”

"We don't know where the prince is buried, if we let the old thief abandon the corpse in the wilderness, or do something even more unimaginable." Only in front of Wu Nian did Liu Dehao finally cry out: "What kind of face do you say I have to meet Your Majesty, and what face do I have to see the emperor when I die in the future, Tong Wen rebelled, I can't even see it, what qualifications do I have to say that I am smart?" The prince is such a good person, he has treated me as his own brother since he was a child, but I can't protect him when he needs it, I'm incompetent! It's all my fault, and it's all my fault so far! Liu Dehao slapped himself in the face. How can I be so stupid! How can I let ......"

Wu Nian hurriedly grabbed him: "Okay, okay, it's not your fault, I don't blame you, I don't blame you." If you want to blame that traitor! We will definitely be able to kill him, we will definitely kill him, and avenge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

"Now that I can't move the forbidden army, it's even more difficult. Do you know why I can't find Your Majesty and my father? Because Tong Wen has long been afraid that we will transfer the forbidden army, so he holds the only two conditions that can transfer the forbidden army in his own hands, and we fake the news, that is, to scare him. Now I just hope that Shenglin can hold out a little longer and wait for my reinforcements to arrive. ”

Liu Dehao never expected that he would cry in a woman's arms one day. Wu Nian comforted: "Lord Zhangzun, you can't continue to fight like this now, I know you are sad, but you hold the fate of millions of people in the Dou Country in your hands. The king of thieves is seriously injured, and the king of Qi is still trapped in Weicheng, if you fall, the world will fall. ”

"Yes. I can't fall, help me up! Liu Dehao put one hand on Wu Nian's shoulder, supported the wall with the other, and said to Wu Nian: "Thank you." ”

The two walked out, but their backs were a little more sad than before entering the palace.

……

Weicheng.

"The old thief has arrived, the archers are ready! Ignition! ”

In the twilight, the city wall of Weicheng lit up with a firelight.

"Put!"

Not to be outdone, Tong Wen here: "Catapult prepare!" Ignition! ”

Outside Weicheng is a dense army of more than 300,000 troops, and Yin Shenglin can really play the level of troops is only 100,000.

"Put!"

Yin Shenglin stood on the city tower and said in his heart, this Tong Wen is so vicious, and there are still people in the city who attack with fire, what a sin!

"Tong Wen, this old turtle!" Wang Fugui scolded: "When did our Leopard Torch Army dare to use catapults to attack the city, I have never seen such a brazen person!" Beat me all the hard, beat this old thing to death! Wang Fugui's voice was hoarse, and the soldiers on the city wall were also indignant, eager to kill Tong Wen hundreds of times.

The burning flying stones fell into the city, smashing the houses, and the people fled in all directions, and Yu Tao and Zhang Shaoyun were guiding the people to flee to the north gate. "Everyone, keep up, don't crowd, be careful."

Yu Tao picked up a child who was running around: "Be careful, what about your mother?" ”

"Whose child is this?" Zhang Shaoyun shouted.

"Child, my child!" A woman huddled in the crowd and walked towards Zhang Shaoyun and Yu Tao.

At this moment, a fireball the size of a water tank fell from the sky. Yu Tao shouted: "Get down!" He immediately pushed down Zhang Shaoyun and the child.

The sound of the explosion was like thunder, and Zhang Shaoyun found Yu Tao under the burning ruins and the burial of the loess.

"Yu Tao! Yu Tao! Wake up, brother! ”

Zhang ...... General Zhang...... Is the kid okay? ”

"The kid is fine, it's okay." Zhang Shaoyun cried when he saw the child run to his mother, who, like most people, died in the fighting.

Yu Tao used his last strength and said, "General Zhang...... General, I said that in this life, whether you are rich or poor, you will be your adjutant general, I broke my promise, I'm sorry. ”

"You hold it up for me! Do you hear me? This is my order, it is the order of General Ben! ”

"General, take care of that child, he has no mother, you must ...... Be sure to find him a good home. ”

Zhang Shaoyun bit his lip tightly and shed tears: "You hold it up for me!" Can't die! If you die, who will be my lieutenant? You wait, the doctor in the army has already come, hold on...... Ah, hold on! I don't want others to be my lieutenant, I want you to be my lieutenant, and I Zhang Shaoyun only needs you as a lieutenant in my life! Do you hear me, don't die! ”

"Thank you, General...... I can meet a general in Tao's life, and I can be a general for less than a day...... Lieutenant for the day, I'm very happy...... The general has always been my most admired and respected ...... Person...... I feel that in this life, I have really ...... There is nothing to regret. Like I said, in war, someone must die, this is the fate of our soldiers, die on the battlefield......" Yu Tao used his last breath to shout the word he wanted to shout the most: "Worth!" ”

Zhang Shaoyun roared angrily at the sky: "Tongwen! I want you to pay back the account of my Lingcheng army! ”

The little boy wiped away his tears and walked silently in front of Zhang Shaoyun: "Uncle don't cry, when my father left, my mother said, you can't cry, don't cry in this life." ”

Zhang Shaoyun didn't quite understand that a child could say such a thing, "Uncle don't cry, let's go with my uncle." What is your name? ”

"My name is Liu Mo."

Later, this orphan named Liu Mo became a legendary figure among the imperial thieves. And General Zhang Shaoyun, who later lived to be more than eighty years old and became the peak of Dou Guo's lifespan, led troops, trained troops, and fought in the second half of his life, and never recruited a deputy general again. But these are all things that come later.

……

"Kill!" Liu Dehao's army had reached the south of Weicheng. But at this time, Tong Wen had already withdrawn.

Liu Dehao walked to the city tower, Yin Shenglin was covered in blood, and leaned against the wall.

"Tong Wen is too yin, he has already calculated the time. Although we held Weicheng, we suffered heavy losses. There are only 20,000 of my people left. General Zhang's headquarters suffered the heaviest losses, and General Ma was killed in battle. General Yang and Wu were also wounded. ”

"It's all my fault, if only I could ...... faster"

"No, I don't blame you." Yin Shenglin said: "How is Changling over there? ”

"My father and your father, the emperor, have not been found, but they have rescued the queen and are rushing here. It's all my fault. ”

Yin Shenglin waved his hand: "No, no, Tong Wen must have already reached our hand, and he will definitely hold Liu Jiaotou and His Majesty hostage at any time." We're still not smart enough. What's next? What are your plans? ”

"What about you?"

"I don't know, plus your soldiers, that's all. When Tong Wen goes back to repair, he will definitely lose if he comes back to fight Weicheng again. ”

"Then you think we lost, and where did we lose?"

"Troops. No matter how good the tactics are, it is impossible to take 60,000 or 70,000 people and fight hundreds of thousands of others. Burning Chibi and winning more with less, how many times in the history of this kind of battle are there? We can't do it. ”

"Then if I say, I will raise military funds for you, how many soldiers and horses can you recruit in ten days?"

Zhang Shaoyun interjected: "The money of our people has been used for a long time, where is the military spending?" If there is really silver, I will be able to recruit a new Weicheng camp for you in seven days. ”

"That's what you said."

Yin Shenglin asked, "Where can I get silver?" ”

Liu Dehao replied with one word: "Tomb." "The imperial thieves discovered many years ago that there was a large tomb in the north of Weicheng. It's just that I haven't started digging, and now, it's the right time.
