Chapter 130: Mutiny (Part II)

The guards behind Gongzi City crossed out, and the sharp sword in his hand pointed directly at King Qin. King Qin's internal guards rushed out in a hurry and covered King Qin into the palace. Although there are only eleven internal guards left, they can still hold on to the palace for a while. As the soon-to-be-succeeded King of Qin, for the purpose of protecting his private property, Gongzi City did not order the burning of the royal palace.

But even so, the huge numerical advantage of Gongzi City's side forced the Qin King's side into a hurry. If it weren't for the fact that King Qin's side occupied a corner that was conducive to defense in advance, and if it weren't for the terrain that restricted the Gongzi City side from rushing up, the Gongzi City side might have been able to completely annihilate the Qin King's side with just one charge.

But just when Childe City thought that the victory was in his hands, a sudden change occurred. There was a great commotion in the originally stable rear, and the shouts of killing became louder and louder from far and near.

"What's the situation?" Childe said unhappily.

Seeing that the King of Qin was about to be killed, Gongzi City would never allow unexpected changes.

"Childe! Big things are wrong! Xianyang Wei has defected! A guard who had gone to inquire about the news soon returned.

"How is that possible!" Childe was shocked.

The Wei Hun handle he had at hand was enough for King Qin to kill his entire family. How dare he betray himself? What's in it for him?

"It's true! More than 3,000 city guards suddenly poured in from the rear, and they even instigated many forbidden troops, saying that you are the thief. Now that the situation is out of control, please make a decision quickly! The guard said in horror.

Rebellion is a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and when the real Qinwang army arrives, his own group of people will be a dead end.

Gongzi City gritted his teeth and said hurriedly: "Sue sΓΉ Jiang Wen, stop the city guards at any cost." ”

"Whoa!" The guards hurriedly went to deliver the order.

"Someone! Set me on fire! ”

Seeing that King Qin's reinforcements had arrived, Gongzi City made a quick decision. Just kill the King of Qin. A single lie can be rounded. At that time, he could completely rely on his huge influence to ascend to the throne of King Qin.

More than 100 guards from Gongzi City immediately withdrew from the palace, and soon, countless torches were thrown towards the palace where King Qin was hiding.

"Your Majesty! The rebels want to burn us. One of the guards looked panicked.

Right now, there were only seven internal guards left by King Qin's side. The rebels clearly wanted to force the King of Qin to escape. If you stay in the palace, you will be burned alive, and if you escape, you will be shot by arrows.

King Qin's face was pale, his second brother was really enthusiastic about himself! However, he would rather die in the fire than die in the hands of Childe City.

"The widow has made up his mind, so run for your lives!" King Qin lamented.

"Your Majesty!" The internal guard led by him burst into tears.

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and now the king of Qin plans to die to make his will clear, how can he live alone as a courtier. It's a big deal that the monarchs and ministers go to Huangquan Road together.

"Your Majesty! You listen! There are killing shouts outside! Another guard shouted in surprise.

King Qin's expression perked, and then he held his breath and listened carefully. It's reinforcements coming! King Qin's slogan can't be wrong! I don't have to die!

After a group of people saw the hope of life. All of them are happy, and the original depressed feelings are shaken. Seeing that the fire was getting closer and closer, King Qin and his party hurriedly retreated to the back, hoping that the speed of reinforcements would be faster, faster. Otherwise, it is still inevitable to be buried in the sea of fire.

The reinforcements were Xianyang Wei Hun's men, but at this time Wei Hun was already in a different place. I have to start from the beginning, according to the instructions of Childe City. Jiang Wen was in charge of occupying and controlling the palace, while Wei Hun was in charge of guarding all of the Qin king's cronies. Cut off Xianyang from the outside world. The plan was originally seamless, but it went wrong here in Wei Hun.

Wei Hun, like Jiang Wen, falsely spread the will of the King of Qin, saying that the King of Qin would punish the traitors tonight, and then justifiably surrounded the mansions of the ministers of the Qin State. But because there was no tiger talisman, several five hundred masters had already noticed the strangeness in it. In particular, Wei Hun surrounded the mansions of the Qin king's cronies and ministers. Coupled with the killing cries from the palace, this is obviously unreasonable. A few five hundred lords who seemed to be loyal to Wei Hun but were actually trusted by King Qin tied up Wei Hun as soon as they discussed. After a little interrogation, Wei Hun, who couldn't stand the torture, revealed the plan and inventory of Gongzi City. That's why the city guards rushed to the rescue.

Seeing that things could not be violated, the footsteps of King Qin's reinforcements were getting closer and closer, Gongzishi gritted his teeth and roared: "Retreat!" ”

Anyway, King Qin has been buried in the fire, Xianyang is in chaos, and his main purpose has been achieved. Even if someone proves that he appeared in the palace tonight, he still has an "ironclad evidence" to prove that he is far away in Yongcheng and has nothing to do with the killing of the king. The most important thing now is to flee back to the old capital of Yongcheng, eliminate the fake "self", and eliminate the last evidence that is not against you.

Thinking of this, Childe City no longer paid attention to the killing shouts that were getting closer and closer behind him, and led his guards to drift away.

After a while, the sweaty Xianyang Lieutenant (Xianyang Lieutenant's deputy) led many soldiers to rush over.

"Extinguish the fire! Extinguish the fire! Looking at the palace with great fire, the anxious Xianyang Lieutenant cried. Just now, the forbidden army said that the King of Qin was in this palace, and at the moment, except for the burning palace, there was no trace of rebels around. Unless the rebels take away the King of Qin, the King of Qin will be trapped in this sea of fire.

Basin after basin of water poured on the burning palace, and the fire decreased slightly, but in a few moments, the flames flew higher. Regardless of his own safety, Lieutenant Xianyang poured water on himself, and then led dozens of soldiers to rush to the sea of fire.

Maybe King Qin's life should not be extinguished, and the commander of Xianyang soon discovered that several people dressed in internal guards were layered on something. They had long been burned to death by fire, what was it that deserved them to be guarded like this? Lieutenant Xianyang only felt that his throat was smoking, and his body was about to burn, so he didn't care about the dead at the moment, and kicked away these dead people. Just glanced at it, Xianyang Duwei was overjoyed, this is not King Qin, who else!

It's just that King Qin's state is very bad, his eyebrows have already been burned, and the towel in his hand has a trace of moisture left, and he can see that there is more air in and less air out. The commander of Xianyang immediately greeted a few soldiers and carried the king of Qin out.

September 27, Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

Lian Po's army was ultimately unable to break through to the east bank of the Fen River. Qin Jiang Bai Qi finally set up such a game, how could he let Lian Po go lightly! The Qin and Zhao armies fought more than a dozen battles, and the Zhao army was repeatedly defeated due to lack of food and grass. Lian Po lost 50,000 soldiers and could not advance a single bit. At present, the entire Zhao army has only three days of rations left, and Lian Po knows that if he can't quickly withdraw to the east bank of the Fen River, maybe the rout of the whole army will be three days later.

"Order the whole army to have more food tomorrow morning." Lian Po said in a calm tone.

"General!" Deputy General Zhao Bao wanted to speak and stopped.

Lian Po knew that Zhao Bao wanted to say that Zhao Jun had failed one after another in the past few days, and his morale was extremely exhausted. At present, the grain and grass are already extremely tight, and if you add more food, Zhao Jun's grain and grass will only be enough for two days. The reinforcements on the other side of the river were blocked by Bai Qi and could not come to support. Even when they came, they carried very limited food and grass. Therefore, Zhao Bao has hinted more than once whether it is possible to have one meal a day, or two meals a day but halve the amount of meals.

But Lian Po also knew that the high-intensity war had greatly depleted Zhao Jun's body. If you can't let the soldiers of Zhao have enough to eat, morale exhaustion is still a trivial matter, and once a mutiny is caused, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Lian Po said with a firm expression: "Tomorrow, after adding food, the whole army will carry a day's rations and attack the Qin army." If we can't break the blockade of the Qin army, we don't have to come back. ”

Zhao Bao's expression was dazed, and Lian Po was going to fight to the death. The longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to Zhao Junxing, and maybe Lian Po's approach is right.

"Whoa!" Zhao Bao stepped back.

The camp of the Qin army, the tent of the Chinese army. Bai Qi looked at the map in front of him and said nothing.

"General!" Adjutant General Wang Ling shouted cautiously.

"Hmm. Are the casualties counted? Bai Qi asked nonchalantly.

"Eight thousand wounded, twenty thousand dead."

"How many warriors are there?" Bai Qi didn't look up, concentrating on studying the map.

Wang Ling thought for a while, put aside those who were seriously injured and unable to move, and reported a number: "Seventy thousand!" ”

Bai Qi finally raised his head and glanced at Wang Ling. At present, the ratio of Qin and Zhao's forces in Taiyuan is 7:9, as long as the Zhao army's offensive is blocked a few more times, the Zhao army's grain and grass will definitely run out. The offensive of the Zhao army was really strong, especially the onslaught of Lian Po regardless of the losses, which brought a lot of pressure to the Qin army. But Bai Qi knew that this was just a dying blow, and victory was not far away for the Qin army.

"Tell me to go down and hold on for two more days, and the three armies will be rewarded." Bai Qi said.

"Whoa!"

"Is there any news from Hedong?" Bai Qi asked again. Now that the victory of Taiyuan has been decided, Bai Qi is thinking about how to recover Hedong, Sanchuan, and Nanyang all the way south according to what King Qin said.

"The main force of the Sanjin Dynasty in Hedong should have learned the news of the Zhao army in Taiyuan, and they are now attacking Anyi. However, the prime minister sent a letter saying that there is nothing to worry about at the moment. Just waiting for the general's good news, after the army merged, it conquered the city all the way and recovered the country. ”

Bai Qi smiled, the prime minister really lifted himself. However, it is better to wait for the main force of the Zhao army to be severely damaged, I just looked at the map and analyzed it carefully, Lian Po should have no way to escape. Presumably tomorrow, Lian Po will launch the final dying struggle!

"Struggle! This will be your last swan song! Bai Qi said secretly.

"Report! There is a messenger in Xianyang who asks to see him. A voice came from outside.

"Xuan!" Bai Qi put away his thoughts and said with a straight face.

I think it was the King of Qin who came to inquire about the war, but the messenger came just in time, and he could ask the King of Qin to suspend the delivery of grain and grass. Now there is more than enough food and grass.

A figure then broke in, and when the messenger saw that there was still the deputy general Wang Ling in the big tent, he immediately said: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, except for Wu Anjun, everyone else will retreat!" ”

As soon as Wang Ling heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said, "In this way, the last general will retire!" ”

Bai Qi nodded, signaling that he knew. But what the messenger said was very strange, why did the Queen Mother suddenly send a decree over! Could it be that something happened to Xianyang?

As soon as Wang Ling withdrew, the messenger unfolded the edict in his hand and read to Bai Qi, who was kneeling on the ground: "There is a change in Xianyang, and I order Wu Anjun to lead the army to return to Xianyang as soon as possible, and there must be no mistake." (To be continued......)
