Chapter 311: Fireworks Burning the City (11)
When Tang Qu said such words, the first thing he heard was of course the soldiers on the city wall who had already raised their throats, and everyone looked at him with a shocked face, and with a bang, it was an arrow in the soldier's hand that shot out uncontrollably.
It was also in this harsh voice that pierced the air that everyone came back to their senses. After the initial confusion, some of the people in the city had already knelt down and wailed something, and then more people knelt down and bowed down to this side.
Everyone has the right to live, but at this moment, Tang Qu has no better way, if he opens the city, then not only the already skinny people outside, but even the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and even south of Jixian County, may be involved.
Thinking about it, Ling He ran up from under the city, and his armor made a crisp sound.
Ling He went to the city, and the eyes of the soldiers defending the city fell on him, with hope in his eyes, Ling He nodded, walked to Tang Qu's side, and looked down against the battlements.
"My lord, there are no less than a thousand people."
Tang Qu had a calm face, "Even if it's 10,000 people, 100,000 people, I can't open the city today." ”
Tang Qu said word by word, "Jixian is just a small city, if it weren't for the reinforcement of Princess Fan when she was in the north, you and I would have no power to fight back in front of these 5,000 Rong cavalry, even now, how long can you and I support it?" Tang Qu turned his head to look at Ling He, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Jixian County is a lonely city, although the other party's five thousand people can't be surrounded, but you and I don't know what will happen afterwards...... Moreover, these 5,000 cavalry suddenly appeared in Jixian County, who knows if this is the case in other places? We don't know anything about their purpose, but if we let them break through, we know what kind of ravages our rear will become. ”
"Your Excellency!" Ling He wanted to persuade a few more words.
Tang Qu said: "If there is any blame above, I will take responsibility, as for these people under the city, this official should take off this head and sacrifice it afterwards...... General Ling, what you have to do is to defend this city, not to argue with your own officials. Tang Qu said and took half a step back, bowed and saluted towards Ling He,
Ling He's breath stagnated, sighed, and said with his fists clenched: "The last general will take the order."
After Ling He retreated to arrange the defensive task, Tang Qu's gaze fell on those who knelt on the ground and pleaded, and the soldiers left by Ling He to protect him looked unbearable, and even glared at him with some blame.
After Tang Qu noticed it, he didn't say anything, and muttered softly: "Shout to them, their lives are their own, if you want to live, then turn around, even bite me with your teeth......"
Tang Qu's words were irresistible, and the soldiers around him led the order, and soon the sound of Taoism sounded on the city tower, breaking through the wind curtain and overflowing over there.
Tang Qu didn't care if it was useful or not, I was thinking about what might happen next.
It is true that in the past, the Rong cavalry would rarely be used directly in this kind of siege warfare, and he even thought at first that this cavalry only happened to appear in Jixian County, but when the other party drove those people out from the rear like pigs and sheep, he understood that this time the matter was not as simple as he thought.
That is to say, if he softens at this time, then the only thing that will greet him is destruction.
Now I can still fight for a while.
Now Tang Qu doesn't know that it is precisely because of his decision that he has fought for a lot of things for the rear, so that many things have returned to the negotiating table, and he has no chance to cut off the head in person to pay tribute to the dead people.
That's for another story.
Jixian County is a small city, and Tongxian and other places form the second line of defense against the Rong people, but now that the other party has arrived in Jixian County, I don't know how the other party bypassed the outpost in front, Tang Qu had to secretly curse Zhending, those stupid colleagues in Taiyuan Mansion.
However, Tang Qu was also willing to believe that this was just a rogue of the other party, but it seemed unreasonable that a ranger could engulf more than a thousand people in such a short period of time.
In other words, something must have happened at the front.
However, without Tang Qu thinking about it, the other party rushed out of the queue, arrived at the city, and shouted: "I am the pioneer of the second prince of the Great Wei Southern Courtyard, and the second prince of the Great Wei Southern Courtyard is under the Tugu ......resignation."
After talking for a while, his words were mostly disdainful, Ling He took a bow from the guard next to him, but was stopped by Tang Qu.
Tang Qu stepped forward, arrived at the battlement, and said: "This official is Tang Qu, the magistrate of Jixian County, and you are waiting for Chen Bing to go down to the city, obviously the person who came is not good, how can this official open this city gate today......
"The general has already said that he is only here today to escort the people of your country back."
"Oh, I'm afraid a three-year-old child won't believe such words." As soon as the words fell, with a bang, a sharp arrow was inserted on the wall next to Tang Qu, and Tang Qu was pulled behind the wall by Ling He.
"Hmph, you claim to be the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, but you don't know how to be hospitable so much, today I will teach you to wait!"
As he spoke, he turned his horse's head around and returned to the queue.
Tang Qu's face was gloomy, "Hmph, if it is a real guest, this official will personally go out of the city to greet him and prepare good wine and food...... Waiting for this trip, where is it like a guest......"
The verbal battle between the two sides stopped at this point, Tang Qu came out from behind the battlement, looked down, and said to Ling He beside him: "Prepare, send someone else to the rear, it is best to know what is happening ahead."
In an instant, this small county town was shrouded in a dark cloud for a while, and the standing garrison of Jixian County was less than 2,000, and it was not easy to fight this battle.
At the same time, in Taiyuan Mansion, in the prefect's yamen, a bearded general hurriedly walked out of the gate, ignoring the yamen staff who followed behind him, got on his horse, and left in the dust.
The bearded general walked out of Taiyuan City, and the 3,000 officers and soldiers waiting outside the city were all shocked, and said respectfully: "General."
Qin Ruiqing nodded: "Let's go."
He followed the adjutant general and rode his horse to his side, and asked in a low voice, "General, where are we chasing?"
Qin Ruiqing thought for a while: "Daimyo's Mansion."
The lieutenant immediately added a sentence to the queue, and rode to the front.
Not long after, Qin Ruiqing changed his order again, and the Jingbian Army changed to two routes, one route was led by the deputy commander Tang Tong to chase in the direction of Jixian County, and the other route was led by Qin Ruiqing himself to chase in the area of Tongxian.
As the only mobile army in the border area of the new dynasty, the tragedy caused by the negligence of some people this time can only be handed over to the Jingbian army, but when Qin Ruiqing received this order, the five thousand rats were no longer in the realm of Taiyuan Mansion.
Even in the eyes of a battle-hardened man like him, there was not much usable information left.
But no matter what, you have to catch up and kill no one left.
Jixian, the big war has begun.
