Chapter 1676: The Scapegoat (I)
The slaughter in the city continued for a whole day and night, and by the next morning, the entire Pingchengjing had become like a ghost, and the pungent smell of blood choked those right guards who had already guarded the city wall were a little dizzy, if it weren't for their duty, I am afraid that no one would want to stay on this city head any longer. Vertices are updated the fastest
And the naturalized people in the city didn't seem to be able to stay any longer, and began to walk towards the only open city gate with large and small burdens on their backs.
But what they didn't know was that the location of the city gate had already laid a pocket for them, and a big event that would make them remember it for the rest of their lives was waiting for them.
"Why don't you let us out, I want to see General Yang, I want to see His Royal Highness King Qi, you have no right to stop us!" Qin Jisheng stood at the gate of the city with a red face and a thick neck, facing a lieutenant of the Right Weiwei Guard.
But the lieutenant ignored him, and just glanced at him lightly: "What are you?" Why do you think you can meet His Royal Highness King Qi? ”
"I, I am the deputy head of the Naturalization Legion, and I was personally sealed by His Royal Highness King Qi!" Qin Jisheng's old face turned red, if it weren't for not wanting to anger Tang Jun, he really wanted to stab this captain whose name he didn't know to death.
"I don't know if you're the deputy commander, but your subordinates disobey military orders, so you can't fake it, right?" The captain snorted coldly, raised his hand and pointed at the naturalized people who were gathered behind Qin Jisheng.
"What?" Qin Jisheng looked back a little uncertainly, but didn't find anything wrong, so he turned back to the captain and said, "What do you mean?" Is it trying to blackmail? ”
"Hehe, blackmailing you?" The captain suddenly laughed, and then said: "Privately dividing the spoils of war is a major crime in the army, you take a good look at your people, which one has not violated!" Female ** is also a big crime in the army, look at it, how many violations your people have! ”
"This ......" Qin Jisheng was speechless, these things seemed to them to be conventional, and when they did these things just now, they didn't think that Tang Jun would make such a fuss.
But ......, but although the Tang Army has a military order like this, but the naturalized people do not, in Qin Jisheng's opinion, if the soldiers are allowed to grab things, how can the morale of the soldiers be maintained? How can you fight a war if you can't maintain morale?
Thinking of this, Qin Jisheng stiffened his neck again: "What you said is not a big sin among my naturalized people, but the glory of those soldiers......
But before Qin Jisheng could finish speaking, the school consolation had already laughed, and only after a while did he ask with a cold light in his eyes: "So you want to rebel, right?" ”
Rebel? What kind of rebellion? Qin Jisheng was stunned at first, but soon realized what the captain was talking about, and couldn't help but start to get nervous.
You must know that although these naturalized people are acting under the banner of the Tang Army and are nominally friendly troops, they are actually no different from cannon fodder. But when they broke through Pingchengjing yesterday, they were so excited that they forgot what their identity was, so that they completely angered the Tang army.
Of course, there are many things in this that are scenes, and the most practical problem is that because they moved those things that should belong to them in the eyes of Tang Jun, so someone will embarrass them.
Thinking of this, Qin Jisheng reluctantly showed an embarrassed smile, lowered his voice and said to the captain: "Little, little general, you see, these subordinates of mine are ignorant and have not seen anything in the world, so ......" said while making a gesture of rubbing his fingers: "How much do you think is appropriate for you?!" ”
But to Qin Jisheng's surprise, the captain didn't react to his bribe at all, and just said with a cold face: "The deputy head of the naturalization legion, right?" I'm not afraid to tell you that your people have violated military orders and must be severely punished by military law, and bribing this lieutenant is useless. ”
"What, what? You, you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?! Qin Jisheng was stunned by what the captain said, he didn't know the Tang military law, he knew very well that if he followed the Tang military law, almost all of his subordinates would die, and there would be no way to live at all.
"It's not about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it's just a matter of military law!" The captain's face had changed to a hideous smile, and he raised his right hand as he spoke.
Subsequently, under Qin Jisheng's shocked gaze, the right guards who were surrounded around the city raised their firearms in their hands, and the eight crossbows also adjusted their direction and aimed at them.
"Don't, don't, little general, calm down, calm down!" Qin Jisheng's cold sweat broke out in an instant, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down from the top of his head at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What else do you have to say?"
"Little general, give, give a chance, let Qin go to the camp to find the chief manager to explain, and Qin will be remembered forever in the future." Facing a young lieutenant who was almost half his age, Qin Jisheng had to pull down his face and plead bitterly.
He knew very well what the 100,000 naturalized army behind him represented, if these people were wiped out by the Tang army in Pingchengjing, then he Qin Jisheng would be alive, and it was estimated that there would be no day to turn over.
It may be that Qin Jisheng's expression was too complaining, but the captain finally stopped insisting, lowered his head and thought about it and said: "In this case, don't say that the captain won't give you a chance, take two people, hand over your weapons, and go over!" With a slight wave of his hand, a soldier immediately made a way out behind him.
Seeing this situation, Qin Jisheng didn't suspect anything anymore, he picked two guards at random, handed over the weapons, and then bypassed the captain and went out of Pingchengjing.
……
And just after Qin Jisheng left, the captain's face changed again, and he glanced at the naturalized people who were standing not far away, and waved his right hand fiercely.
In an instant, the gunshots like bursting beans rang out one after another, and the repeating bed crossbow was even more frantically raging, like a lawn mower frantically harvesting the weed-like lives of naturalized people.
Those naturalized people who were originally carrying things on their backs and dreaming of making a fortune were stunned at that moment, and even forgot to escape, and just stood in place stupidly, completely unable to understand what was happening, until more and more people fell, and the rest came to their senses.
But it seemed that it was too late, the iron sand sprayed out of the fire gun raged in the crowd, and the continuous bed crossbow made people have no way to dodge, and there was no way to prevent it, and they could only watch as the three-edged arrows with the thickness of their fingers pierced their bodies with a sharp sound of breaking wind, and then took the lives of those behind them.
The naturalized people who were still slaughtering their compatriots frantically yesterday were like lambs that had been encircled, falling down in batches, and some people tried to resist, but they were soon killed by the firecrackers, which made the entire city gate almost instantly turn into a Shura hell!
