Chapter 85: The Funeral of 10,000 People
'Don't be fine, go!' Let's go! ’
"Father-in-law!"
Chen Qu took the lead, galloped all the way, and rushed towards Qi Kun's location. At this moment, he was completely panicked, he thought of many possibilities, and guessed that there might be something under the smoke. But he didn't expect it to be this thing!
"This ......"
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the scene in front of him was no longer just a blow to Qi Kun. He knew that it was over, even if he lived, it was over.
"Old General Liu's heroic spirit is here!"
In front of Li Ru, Cao Ren, and Yan Liang, there is also a wooden monument, on which is engraved with a row of words [Xu] General Dangkou - Liu Kan Liumen Yu Zhiying Spiritual Position!
"Qi Kun, didn't you think about it?"
Looking at Qi Kun, who was lost and depressed, Yan Liang was suddenly in a good mood.
"You didn't go to Pingliang?"
Looking at the big hole like a sinkhole in front of him, Qi Kun didn't think that this was a project that could be completed in just one or a few days. The only explanation is that he and others were deceived and were wrong from the beginning.
After the other party defeated Fu Xing, he did not go to annex Pingliang, but slept here in the open air, engaged in such a ghostly thing, waited for himself, and threw himself into the net.
"Perhaps, but none of that matters."
Li Ru just shook his head lightly and said expressionlessly.
"General! It's all fire oil, help us! ”
At this moment, between the two armies, in the crater like a monster's giant mouth, there was a panicked and frightened voice.
"You...... You will not die well! That's tens of thousands! ”
All of a sudden, Qi Kun's face turned pale, this is a whole tens of thousands of people, even if some have been killed by falling, but most of them are still alive.
"The lord has an order to see off General Liu!"
Li Ru was originally a ruthless character, how could he take care of the lives of tens of thousands of people in this area.
Yan Liang grinned and threw the stele into the pit.
"Shoot the arrows."
Cao Ren gave an order, and the archers, who had been behind them all the time, and their hands were almost sore, were immediately pardoned. The arrows in his hands came out of the string and went straight to Qi Kun and the others.
"Father-in-law!"
"You will be rewarded! Our souls will never dissipate, and the resentment of tens of thousands will curse you! Curse you not to die well, not to ...... well"
Before the words fell, countless arrows had already shot around him, Qi Kun didn't dodge, and there was no need to dodge at all, the big pit was right in front of them. In other words, there were not many soldiers in front of them at all, it was empty, and no matter how much they hid, it was only a dead end.
"Black light?"
Qi Kun looked at Hei Qian who was blocking in front of him, and he had mixed feelings for a while, and he couldn't say how he felt it.
Hei Qian, Fu Xing, and He Miao are all his old subordinates, and they have been fighting with him for many years. The sword light and sword shadow, the bloody rain and the bloody wind have all come over, but I didn't expect that in the end, they were all righteous in the first battle of the comeback!
Not sadness, not sadness, but an inexplicable feeling. Empty! Yes, it feels like the whole person is empty. It's as if something is missing in my heart.
Hei Qian's entire back was pierced by arrows, and he looked like a hedgehog from a distance.
A wisp of crimson overflowed from the corner of his black mouth and dripped to the ground.
"Hahaha...... Spanning the battlefield for more than ten years, today's day is really fate! ”
Feeling the vitality in the body, it dissipates little by little, but the black light is not afraid at all. On the contrary, it seems to be heroic and full of interest.
"Hurry! Hurry!! ”
The words were closed, the black eyes were round, and he was not moving.
"Father-in-law, let's go!"
And at this moment, Chen Qu also rushed to Qi Kun's side, and there were 30,000 iron horsemen behind him.
"Qi Kun, even if you escape this catastrophe, you are only a loser! The entire army of more than 100,000 people has been completely defeated by you, even if you can survive and return to Nanyan, Qin Xiu will not let you go! ”
Li Ru's eyes closed slightly, and wisps of essence light jumped in his eyes. The words in the mouth, although they are just words, are sharper than the knife, and the words are heart-wrenching.
Don't look at Qi Kun being calculated by Li Ru right now, but only Li Ru knows that all this is just luck.
Just about to march to Pingliang, I got the news that the city was in an emergency, and it was about to be unable to hold it. immediately set off to help, and met Zhao Qi who escaped halfway through.
Through Zhao Qi's description, everyone learned the general beginning. Li Ru immediately judged that Qi Kun was very likely to go deep alone and break through the empty door.
At that moment, Li Ru studied for a whole night before he figured out everything and designed this bureau. Let Zhao Qi go back and inform Xiao Yu that he will kill two birds with one stone, and prepare to completely solve the two major problems of the family and Qi Kun.
"Strategist?"
Looking at the panic under the sinkhole, the frightened crowd. Cao Ren's expression was a little complicated, these were all big living people, if the two armies fought and died, Cao Ren would not feel anything wrong.
But now they are people who are not threatening, and they can be said to be prisoners. The killing and surrender are unknown, and there have been since ancient times.
"Look, do we have time for these people to wait for them to come home?"
Li Ru didn't understand Cao Ren's concerns, but Li Ru also had his own considerations, if he recruited these soldiers, it would indeed make his side's strength skyrocket.
But the most serious problem at the moment is food and grass! That's right, there is not enough food and grass. The two states of Taiping, together, can only support an army of 100,000 at most. This is still the result of the implementation of the tuntian system, coupled with the help of the powerful family, all of which are counted.
Second, most of these people are soldiers in the south, and their families and wives are all in the south, and they have concerns. To wait for them to return to their hearts, the financial, material, and energy required are too much, and there will be a bloody battle in the spring of next year, Li Ru doesn't want to take such a group of oil bottles!
"I'm waiting for my will, I'm waiting for my will!"
"Spare your life!!"
Looking at the torches in Cao Ren's hands, these people were crazy, some wanted to climb out of the pit, some knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, some couldn't cry, and some even came out with feces and urine, as if they were about to collapse.
"If you don't do anything, they're going to rush over!"
Li Ru looked at the 30,000 iron horsemen who were about to rush up, and frowned, this is because of the benevolence of the moment, which caused these guys to be saved, and there will be chaos in the future.
"Don't!!"
"Spare your life!"
"Hey......"
Cao Ren sighed lightly, closed his eyes slightly, and threw down the torch in his hand.
The soldiers under the pit frantically tried to stop the torches, but they couldn't. As soon as the flames were stained with special oil, they turned into a sky-high fire, staining the entire sky red.
The strong heat wave pushed everyone around them to retreat one after another. The wail at the bottom of the pit echoed in everyone's ears, like a bitter resentment, an immortal curse, and it made people shudder.
"Let's go, continuing will only increase the casualties."
Li Ru's face turned slightly pale, looking at Cao Ren, who was also not too good-looking, Yan Liang said.
"Qu'er, take someone back! Back in Nanyan, there are these 30,000 iron horsemen, and there are about 20,000 soldiers left, I believe that Qin Xiang will open the net. ”
"Father-in-law, what about you?"
Chen Qu's heart sank, and he felt that Qi Kun seemed to have the will to die.
"Nearly 200,000 troops, the success of failure, what face do I have to return to the south? Besides, Fu Xing, He Miao, Hei Qian, they are still waiting for me! The soldiers are still waiting for me! ”
"Father-in-law, don't!"
Qi Kun didn't kill himself, it was too easy. What he needs is punishment, and the death of the soldiers needs someone to bear it, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Qi Kun, committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire.
