Chapter 13: Coercing the Son of Heaven to Kill the Princes (8)

As soon as Qu Dui's voice came out, the eight thousand soldiers of the Four Realms who had gathered under the city tower immediately reacted. In addition to Pei Baolong, the three Zhenguan generals, plus a deputy general of Zhenxi, the four of them rode on the tall horses, stood in front of the army, and pointed out the several battalions of soldiers in their own army, the whole process was very fast, the four of them took the army of 4,000 people, separated the two roads, and galloped towards the battlefield on both sides of the ditch in the distance.

However, the Underworld had invested more military power on both flanks than they had imagined. But the army in the central part was still able to bite the rushing troops of the Qinshan State to the death. It can be seen that the number of chariots of the enemy army is indeed far above that of Qinshan State. With the right strategy, it is entirely possible to contain them to the death.

Downstairs in the city, looking at He Zhe, the general of the northern border, He Jingling, who was still ordering troops. There were also several city lords and deputy city lords standing beside him. He Jingling also brought his Blackwater City into the troops supporting the battlefield, but ordered every city lord present to continue to stay under the city tower and not have to accompany him. Just as the four generals were about to leave, He Zhe suddenly put his arm on the shoulders of Zheng Ergou beside him.

Zheng Ergou was stunned, he just thought that He Zhe hadn't noticed him at all. I only heard the city lord sigh, and said to him in a soft but firm voice, "You go and help." ”

Zheng Ergou raised his head and saw He Zhe's unquestioning gaze. He Zhe didn't speak, and a Blackwater City soldier on the side walked up to them, holding a suit of battle armor in both hands, and stood in front of Zheng Ergou. Zheng Ergou sighed, took it and quickly draped it over himself. He Zhe didn't ask him about what happened just now, but patted Zheng Ergou on the shoulder,

"You can come back alive. ”

"City Lord. Zheng Ergou looked at the rapidly assembled army behind him and the battlefield in front of him, took the spear given to him by He Zhe, and said, "I'm not here, you must be careful!"

On the watchtower, Qu Dui's voice became a little hoarse, "Generals, come to the lobby to discuss matters!"

On the front battlefield, the central part was still in the midst of the chariots of the two armies rushing and killing each other. The battlefield is expanding to the right. After Gao Qingshi gave the order, the remaining chariots on the right flank of Qinshan Kingdom no longer continued to fight with the enemy, but all gathered behind the Chinese army. And those troops who have been besieged, they can only choose to be roasted alive in a short period of time, and escape from the steamer, desperately trying to replace one or two of the enemy's combat power.

They can't wait for the soldiers of the Four Realms to come and relieve the siege. Even if it's only a few hundred meters.

On the battlefield on the left flank of the enemy, after the subsequent chariots that joined the battlefield completed a collision, almost all the soldiers in it got off the vehicle at the fastest speed to avoid falling into the miserable situation of almost being wiped out on the right flank battlefield. There were also many soldiers from the Hades Kingdom pouring out of the chariots. Due to the tall and large number of chariots on the two wings of the enemy, it was difficult for the soldiers of the Qinshan Kingdom to be outnumbered, even outside the scattered chariot battlefield. What's more, outside the central battlefield, the enemy army can actually send chariots to the left flank to support.

The battlefields everywhere were already full of the corpses of the war horses of the Qinshan Kingdom. Qin Shanguo rushed to fight with chariots, which was originally very costly for horses. When pulling the chariot forward at high speed, the horses are located on both sides of the front of the chariot. When colliding with an enemy chariot, the inertia of the heavily armed war horse when running at high speed is huge, and if the enemy chariot cannot be repelled with a single blow, the war horse will often be strangled by the horse and unable to breathe, and it is difficult to launch a second impulse.

Coupled with all the preparations made by the Underworld for the war horses, the death of the war horses on the left and right flanks was particularly tragic.

Under He Jingling's order, the generals of the northern border followed him towards the left flank of the enemy. The soldiers of the other three realms, each carried the banner of Qinshan by the three generals, and surrounded both sides of the central battlefield. And just as they were about to approach the main battlefield, the chariot of the Underworld Kingdom, which had almost wiped out the right wing of the Qinshan Kingdom, also advanced rapidly towards the rear of the central battlefield at the same time.

The 3,000-strong army was only a few tens of meters away from dozens of high-flying war vehicles, and behind them were some infantry of the Underworld that came one after another. The rear side of the Qinshan Guozhong Army began to move the front of the car, and the soldiers of the Yima Academy ignited the horsetail hidden bone with extreme resentment, and rushed towards the uninvited guests who appeared in the rear at a very fast speed. At the same time, the chariot of the Underworld also mobilized its fastest speed and rushed towards the army of 3,000 people who were rushing towards him.

At the forefront of the 3,000-strong army were three rows of hoplites, raising the shields in their hands at this time, advancing with all their might, rushing towards the enemy's unstoppable chariots;

"Dashuai, do you really want to go there!"

"Lao Gao, this move is just to vent your anger for this battle, you ......"

"Shut up!"

In the lobby, the generals who were originally downstairs in the city had not yet arrived. On the main seat sat Gao Qingshi, and Qu Du sat on his left hand. It was Murong Yu and Li Anliang who spoke in front of Gao Qingshi just now. But he didn't expect his kind reminder to make De Dashuai so angry, so he had to sit down indignantly.

The generals had not yet arrived, Gao Qingshi eased his face that was hideous because of anger, slowly looked at the two of them and said, "Two, I have told you many times, so now Ben Shuai will emphasize it to you again." The place we are going to attack is the various arrows and weapons that were transported by the major military cities a month ago. Half a month ago, the spies risked their lives to report that all the armament reserves of the army of the Underworld were there. Even if it is difficult for our army to win this battle, burn their weapons, regroup tomorrow, and fight the barbarians again, why not!"

"Handsome..."Li Anliang and Murong Yu had solemn expressions, but it was Qu Du on the side who answered. He sighed and spoke slowly, "If this move completely angers the enemy, the safety of His Highness ......"

Gao Qingshi seemed to have thought of this a long time ago and waved his hand. At this time, the major city lords of the northern realm had already walked into the hall first. When the marshal saw the comer, he simply raised his voice and said, "The enemy has the crown prince in his hands, and we will be passive no matter what. Originally, a big battle like today's was a good opportunity to rescue the prince in one go. I want you to understand that the more you cringe, the more you are constrained by the enemy. From now on, they will definitely not take Pei Baolong and His Highness seriously. ”

"The enemy is gambling. The same two armies are fighting, and because they have hostages in their hands, even if the situation on the battlefield is only a very small difference, if we are defeated, the losses we will suffer will be far greater than the ordinary defeat. But they are different, if they are not completely defeated and have hostages in their hands, they can still completely restrain us. ”

"The only hope is to break through this shackle! This commander has gathered you here to discuss with you a strange move, that is, to attack the enemy's underground armory. Two months ago, Xing Yang Cheng plotted against a scout of the Underworld, and half a month ago, this person risked his life to come to the informant - on the western edge of the encirclement of the Underworld, that is, behind the current trench, less than 30 meters from the trench, there was an underground warehouse, with an area of more than half an acre ......"

A month earlier, the High Priest of Tongtian, who had actual authority, had ordered the major military cities to send a large number of armaments to the front line through the puppet emperor. They arrived one after another half a month ago, and they were all hoarded in Nankang City for the time being.

The rebel scout found out. And when the military funds were transferred to the underground warehouse half a month ago, they risked their lives to follow them at night, but fortunately they were not found and learned the storage location. On the second day, he desperately left the military camp of the Ming Ze Kingdom and came to Xingyang City to report the news. This important news was blocked by several high-ranking generals such as Gao Qingshi, and the scouts were hidden in the city.

"This man said that the gate of the warehouse was deep in the crypt, and there were fifteen soldiers guarding the town. Moreover, he had heard the soldiers of the Underworld mention that this was the only place where the weapons that could be sent in the future were placed. And now, the left flank of the enemy army is engaged in a struggle with our army, and the area of the enemy's warehouse is not in the battlefield, it is an empty area. ”

All the generals have already taken their seats, as they have been in the past few days. Gao Qingshi, who was on the main seat, stood up, his voice deep and stern, "This marshal and General Murong and General Li will personally go to attack the enemy's warehouse. The three of us will bring with us the best fighters in our own guards. At the same time, the commander also wants to select a total of fifteen warriors from among the generals' subordinates who can walk with the three of us. At critical moments, they can even be willing to sacrifice their own lives. ”

"Among you, are there any generals whose own guards have not gone out of the city to fight, and are they willing to borrow their warriors to use their own commanders?"

As soon as the words fell, the Qi City Lord of Dongzhou City in the eastern realm immediately got up and hugged his fists and said, "I am willing to go with the three generals!"

Before he took up the post of city lord, he was originally a person from Rong. This time, sending troops to the front line, the Qi City Lord also did a very good job. Gao Qingshi nodded. Then, many generals on the left and right sides took the initiative to promote the brave and good warriors in their own soldiers who were not afraid of death. The generalissimo and the two hussar generals selected nearly ten warriors under the generals and ordered them to bring the warriors quickly.

When Gao Qingshi's gaze turned to the back of the lobby, he suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Hezhe City Lord?"

He Zhe, who was sitting next to the two city lords in the north, stood up behind the seat, bowed unhurriedly, and said, "What do you command?"

At this moment, his heart is far from being as calm as he appears. He didn't want to fight, and he didn't want his own people to fight. When he was in Blackwater, all the words that his wife had said before he left came to mind at this moment

- You take care of yourself, don't be in the limelight, if you can, you won't go out of the city!

"Under the city lord's mansion, is there a strong man named Gao Liuting?"

He Zhe was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly. The eyes of the people around him were focused on him, and for some reason, his heart beat very quickly.

"The lord of the castle should know too. This person once belonged to Ben Shuai's family in the capital. However, his status and blood are low, first he was brought to a Gao family in the west when he was a child, and then he participated in martial arts, returned to the capital, and was included in the command of the city lord. ”

Gao Liuting has known He Zhe for more than ten years. From the time he gained fame in the capital, Gao Liuting worked under He Zhe, became his personal guard, and protected his He Mansion. And his past is even clearer, just as Gao Qingshi said.

However, He Zhe really didn't want to, absolutely didn't want to, let his old men who were like his brothers and sisters go to the depths of the enemy army to take this risk.

At that time, his Hefu was only a branch of the Wan'an He's clan. There are few people in the family, and my father and brother have been back to each other many years ago. His fame is still very small, and the family's business is still completely in chaos. If it weren't for the help of another Holland, this Holland might have been unknown for a long time.

At that time, Gao Liuting was a few years younger than He Zhe, and he had excellent results in the military examination for preparing officials in his hometown in the west, and was able to be sent to the capital to serve as a small official in Xicheng. At that time, although He Zhe's official position was not high, he was also young. But his conduct is still quite famous among the six or seven sesame officials. It didn't take long for the Hefu to recruit a group of guards and servants, and Gao Liuting came to him at night, hoping that Hezhe would accept him into the mansion.

That's how the two got connected. After a long time, He Zhe has always regarded him as his most powerful assistant and brother. Between them, from Wan'an City to Blackwater City, they have experienced a lot of sleeping together. He Zhe couldn't understand why Gao Qingshi didn't send someone to do such a dangerous thing, but went himself, and he was even more reluctant to put his most capable men in danger.

After all, he is not a person who is in the army, and it is difficult to understand Gao Qingshi's current mood.

"Where is this person now?"

"He... He did not leave the city, but accompanied the little girl in the northern military camp. He Zhe raised his head and looked directly into Gao Qingshi's eyes.

"Ben Shuai needs a warrior like Gao Liuting. Lord, look at ......"

He Zhe suddenly interrupted his words, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Dashuai, I am willing to go with you with Liuting." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Gao Qingshi's expression was a little ugly - what are you doing without any martial arts? This is the front line of the battlefield, is it possible that you are reluctant to lend me one of your subordinates? What kind of thing are you doing with children's affection?

However, at this time, Qu Dui on the side opened his mouth to speak for He Zhe, "The Lord of Hecheng wants to go together to serve the country, and General Ben thinks it's okay. Then please ask the city lord to change into a military uniform again, and this general will send someone to call the tall man here. ”

He Zhe nodded heavily, and Gao Qingshi glanced at Qu Du and didn't say anything.

Inside the city, in the big tent of the city lord of Blackwater City.

He Yue lay on the straw mat in the center of the tent, her eyes tightly closed. Her delicate face had a painful expression, as if she had fallen into a nightmare that she could not wake up from.

The beautiful complexion brought by the cultivation was all gone, and her face was pale and terrifying. The long hair is coiled behind the head, and the color is dull. At this moment, she fell into a coma, and a sentence kept echoing in her mind. The voice that is definitely not good is repeated, "Siqingshi, Siqingshi......"

In fact, even Zheng Ergou was absolutely unable to explain how Fang Cai Heyue suddenly appeared in the divine consciousness world between him and the monk. But what is clear is that it has taken a toll on her body.

He Yue on the straw mat closed her eyes and lips tightly, and her whole body was hot. On either side of the straw mat sat two men with eager expressions. One is Gao Liuting, who was named by Gao Qingshi, and the other is Zhao Fugui, who has already arrived at the front line to participate in logistics work. That is, Mr. Confucianism enlightenment of Heyue.

The reason why Zhao Fugui didn't meet with He Zhe and He Yue after the reinforcements from Blackwater City arrived was actually because the logistics were too busy this week.

Gao Liuting had been staying here when He Yue fell ill, and later Zhao Fugui happened to pass by here, only to know that this was the main camp of Blackwater City. After greeting Gao Liuting, he saw the heart-wrenching scene of He Yue falling ill in bed.

Her whole body was getting hotter and hotter, even if Zhao Fugui put a wet cloth on her forehead, it would be useless. Zhao Fugui knelt on the edge of the table and gently rolled up her sleeves. He gently gripped Heyue's delicate wrist and watched with heartache as patches of puffiness appeared on her white arm. Zhao Fugui knew very well that almost all the doctors and soldiers were waiting under the city tower to rescue the injured soldiers, and no one had time to take care of He Yue. He could only hold her hot hand gently.

Gao Liuting helped take off her shoes and socks. As soon as he touched Heyue's feet, he was immediately shocked. The temperature on the delicate ankle was terrifying, and as soon as Gao Liuting touched it, he withdrew his hand as if he had touched boiling water. He looked in disbelief at the girl lying on the straw mat, delicate and delicate after falling ill, but she was suffering from such pain.

At Zhao Fugui's command, he brought a basin of ice water for He Yue and put her feet in it. Originally, it was not a very good choice to do this, but He Yue's feet were too hot, and if he didn't cool down, Zhao Fugui was afraid that something would happen. Just after his feet were immersed in ice water, He Yue, who was unconscious, suddenly let out a slight cough.

In her consciousness, in the world of divine consciousness hidden in her body, she saw the relics of the five-colored mending stone that had become no longer the same as before after passing through the hands of the monk.

And in the outside world, at this moment, Qu Dui's herald opened the big tent of the main camp of Blackwater City out of breath, rushed into it quickly, and ordered Gao Liuting to go to the main hall of the city tower immediately in an irresistible tone.
