Chapter 55: Abandon the City!
Chapter 55: Abandon the City!
The high throne is unattainable, if it goes on like this, will the Qingxiao Kingdom still be the Qingxiao Kingdom of the palace?
Thinking of this, Gong Xuanzhi felt a chill in his heart, and his face couldn't help but deteriorate, even if he was a bastard, he knew the seriousness of the matter.
Same-sex rivalry is civil strife, and external sexual involvement is invasion!
So in the Qingxiao Kingdom, no matter how fierce the competition between their brothers is, but after all, it is an internal war, no matter who wins in the end, or the people of the Gong family become kings, but now that Li Tang is rising, especially with an army of soldiers, plus a mysterious battle formation, there must be other plans to expand their power in the Qingxiao Kingdom.
"What should I do now, my lord?"
Jiang Hua also asked with a face full of shame, at this time, they had a feeling that there was no way out, but where was the village where the willows and flowers were bright?
The 150,000 defenders now have 60,000 people left, although these 60,000 people can solve the immediate crisis, take advantage of defending the city, and repel Li Tang's attack, but what about next time?
The five counties of Weidong County have gone to four counties, as long as Li Tang mobilizes Zhao Yun's army again, it will be easy to break through Fengcheng, even if he does not attack, just besieging the city, relying on the food in the city, he will hold on for a month at most.
"Retreat, we can't keep Feng Cheng. Gong Xuanzhi said a little decadently, he couldn't even keep his own city, what was the use of him.
The Son of Heaven is the gate of the country, and the monarch is dead;
All things are empty, and abandoning the city is like cutting meat!
"Yes, King!"
Jiang Hua said decadently, I want to spend my life and try my best to fight dozens of large and small wars, but at the peak of my life, I have to bear the charge of abandoning the city and fleeing, which is really sad and lamentable!
"Bell ......"
With the sound of the bell, the order to retreat was passed down step by step, and tens of thousands of troops retreated in an orderly manner, without even carrying the extra baht, Gong Xuanzhi, who had withdrawn from the city, turned his head to look at the city wall with the battle flag fluttering, and left quickly with a sigh:
I am ashamed to treat wine as a song,
I haven't seen you in the empty city today;
Taste the courage to lie down and work hard,
slaughter the city and imprison the king in the coming day;
Vent your hatred!
The long army, winding along the official road stretching behind Feng Cheng, marched forward like a long dragon, but there was no domineering spirit of a dragon, only the decadence of a snake.
Outside Fengcheng, the Qiong Ming army was still clearing the remnants of the enemy, and the infantry who heard Gong Xuanzhi come to send them to death, the originally neat army, after a round of fighting, was scattered and began to flee in all directions.
"Dismantle!"
When the battle situation was foolproof, Qin Qiong ordered the battle formation to be lifted, and when the battle array was lifted, the momentum of all Qiong Ming troops dropped by several grades, and it was just an ordinary military strength.
But with the strength of the armed forces, it is still very easy to deal with a group of remnants of the defeated generals.
"Drive!"
On the plain full of broken corpses, Qin Qiong rode his horse and galloped, even if the horse's hooves splashed the blood on the corpse, he didn't care at all.
Deep in the plain, in a clean place, Li Tang was naked, a knife wound cut through his chest, deep visible bones, faintly oozing blood.
A military doctor sweated on his forehead, picked up some herbs and applied them to the wound, which was stimulated by the medicinal properties, producing severe pain, causing Li Tang to grit his teeth and his face to twitch.
"My lord, although the wound is big, but fortunately it only scratches the flesh and blood, does not hurt the muscles and bones, and promotes the internal organs. ”
After the herbs were dressed, the military doctor said with a sigh of relief that although he was confident in his medical skills, he was still very nervous about treating Li Tang.
"Well, there's Mr. Law. Li Tang said with a smile.
When fighting with the Chinese army, he fought with two generals in a row, and was slashed by negligence, but fortunately there was armor to protect him, only scratching the flesh and skin, if there was no armor, he would have died in Huangquan long ago, which can be described as extremely thrilling.
At this time, Qin Qiong also rode over on a horse, he was covered in blood, he looked grandiose, turned over and dismounted and asked anxiously:
"Lord, are you alright?"
Seeing Qin Qiong, who was in a hurry, Li Tang said with a smile on his face: "I'm fine, how is the battle situation now?"
Seeing Li Tang, who had a terrifying wound on his upper body, but his voice was loud and full of energy, it should be fine, so Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Back to the lord, the war is over, our side has won a complete victory, and the enemy army is being cleared, and there is an eyeliner report that Gong Xuanzhi has abandoned the city and fled." ”
Li Tang was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this palace Xuanzhi still had some talent, and he could decisively give up Feng Cheng, so he said with a smile: "This is good news, when the remnants of the army are cleared, they will enter Feng Cheng." ”
"Obey!" Qin Qiong said with a smile.
Li Tang nodded, and then thought of something and said, "After entering the city, you must remember three points, otherwise you will be decided!"
"Whoever harms the people, behead!"
"Those who steal money from the, behead!"
"Those who don't listen to military orders and make trouble will be killed!"
In the three decisions, that is, in order to standardize the army, there must be no harm to the people, once because of the disaster to the people, leave a bad impression on them, and then rule the city, it will be very difficult to win the hearts of the people, if there is no people's heart, Feng Cheng will not only not bring him benefits, but will drag down their development.
The reason why the warning was put forward was because the Qiong Ming army was different from the Changshan army, the Changshan army had fought many times, and it had become a law to defend itself after entering the city, and the Qiong Ming army fought for the first time, killing countless people, and after entering the city, there was no standard, and there was a great chance of what Li Tang was worried about.
"Needless to say, if that kind of deception happens, I will kill it myself. Qin Qiong nodded in agreement, mounted his war horse, and galloped into the distance.
A few hours later, Li Tang, who was wounded, slowly rode into Fengcheng, because of the continuous war, he did not see a single person after entering the city, and he looked very lonely and quiet.
He didn't care about this, he believed that under his rule, everything would be restored, for the better, business would prosper, and the people would live and work in peace.
And the people of the city, as they huddled in their houses, looked through the cracks in the portals at the army walking outside.
When they introduced it, they sensed a murderous aura, which made them cold all over, and the blood that they had not had time to wipe away, the bloodstained military flags, and the disabled soldiers all brought a great shock to all civilians.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Fengcheng, I am a subordinate of Li Tang of Qingtian County, I believe you have also heard of the prosperity of Qingtian County, and from now on Fengcheng will be under the rule of Qingtian County, please rest assured, our rule will only bring you happiness, not pain......"
Hundreds of cavalry, with Li Tang's words, spread in the city, so that all the people knew the news that Fengcheng was ruled by Li Tang.
Hearing this news, some people were very puzzled, and some people were a little worried, but they were more happy, after all, Qingtian County can live a rich life, and it is inextricably linked to Li Tang, the county government.
Many bold people quietly opened the door and went out to welcome the army into the city.
The people's heart, the general trend is inevitable, it can be said that the one who wins the people's heart wins the world!
