Chapter 113: The End of the Road
The arrival of reinforcements was something neither Shi Shu nor Ning Zeqing expected. When they first saw the army coming from near and far, they were not sure that they were coming to their aid. It wasn't until they pointed their guns and swords at the enemy that they realized that they were their own people.
When these people got closer, Ning Zeqing and Shi Shu saw clearly, led by General Yan of Zhenbei and Deputy General Zhang of General Zhendong Shuwang.
But what did they come to help for? Is it to clear the Outer Kouyue, or to annihilate the prince's power and stabilize the position of the DPRK and China, or both?
No matter how fierce the reinforcements fought against the enemy, how suspicious Ning Zeqing and Shi Shu were in their hearts.
"Is Uncle finally going to attack him?" Shi Shu thought so.
Ning Zeqing challenged his posture and protected him in front of Shi Shu.
However, the two men who led the troops did not pay much attention to them, but only commanded their subordinates to destroy the enemy, and did not seem to explain anything.
In the face of the sudden arrival of enemy troops, Qian Wanli naturally suffered.
Originally, they were only trying to resist and had some chance of winning, but now they have won or lost, and they have no backhand.
For a while, everyone was killed and retreated to their own front, as if they could not catch up with their lives.
"General Qin, this ...... What's going on with these people? Seeing the reversal of the situation, Yu Zhanpu hurriedly asked.
General Qin's face was blue, and he was unexpected.
"Oh, I said a long time ago that I should have wiped them out a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this situation now." Yu Zhanpu clapped his palms on the back of his hand, his face full of remorse.
"Shut up!" General Qin was very upset when he saw that he was blaming.
Yu Zhanpu said "oops", frowning in a circle, not knowing what to do.
General Qin ordered: "Retreat!" ”
Qi Si finally stood up, turned and walked back and forth.
But this retreat, the Wanli army withdrew directly to Qishan.
At this time, there were few remaining troops in the Wanli army, and the original countries that borrowed troops were unwilling to borrow any more, and the remnants of the defeated army could only protect the palace at most, and there were no conditions for a counterattack.
In this way, the Wanli army reached the point of despair.
Seeing that the dream of recovering the country was shattered, Yu Zhanpu's eyes turned black, and he hated this palace that had lived for decades and now had to return here.
But the bad news doesn't stop there.
The soldier came to report: "Yu Xiang, it's not good, General Qin is gone!" ”
Yu Zhanpu was extremely angry when he heard this, this person fled alone as soon as he reached the point of defeat!
At the beginning, it was he who suddenly came up to the mountain, and Mao recommended himself to lead Wanli to regain the old land.
Now, it was he who fled alone, abandoning the endgame of this place.
Could it be that Wan Li really can't return to the country?!
Yu Zhanpu didn't believe it, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he couldn't just give up.
"Quick, protect Qi Shang, don't let the thief hurt him a hair!"
As a result, Qi Si was imprisoned in the sect hall in disguise, surrounded by the only dozen or so elite soldiers who remained as the last barrier.
He is Wan Li's last bloodline, as long as he is there, Wan Li cannot be regarded as a dead country!
Coincidentally, Shi Shu was also surrounded by reinforcements and was not allowed to move around. It is said to be protection, but it feels like imprisonment.
"General Yan, what is the situation in the Hindu, do you know?"
General Yan was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer: "The last general just received a dispatch from the uncle, and ordered the ministers to come to help the prince annihilate the remnants of Qianwanli, and the rest were only heard." ”
Ning Zeqing's face was pale, looking very unhappy, and he asked him: "Send?" The king is the only one who can send you, so why do you obey the king's command? ”
General Yan was a little embarrassed and glanced at Adjutant General Zhang.
Vice General Zhang replied to him: "General Ning, I brought the will with the national seal to General Yan from the palace, and then sent troops here." ”
"And what's the matter with you!" Ning Zeqing was a little angry and coughed slightly, "Since you are the deputy general of the uncle, don't tell me that you don't know anything!" You just have to say, is the uncle rebelling? ”
Vice General Zhang was so frightened that he half-knelt on the ground: "Prince, general, the general really doesn't know about this matter." It's just that the king died suddenly at that time, and only the uncle in the palace can temporarily take charge of the state affairs, and the ministers can only listen to his edict. Later, when the princess returned to the palace, the two had some quarrels, and they were closed in the palace and refused to come out. Even the matter of transferring troops was handed over from the attendants at the gate of the temple. ”
Shi Shu sighed, not much different from what he had heard before: "How was that will written?" ”
General Yan said: "What is written in the decree is that the last general will send troops to help, and then bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace." ”
"Bring back", not "send back".
Shi Shu smiled reluctantly: "No matter what, now I can only rely on you." Do whatever you want. ”
The situation is like this, who has the ability to resist, but they are just being coerced forward by everyone.
Ning Zeqing endured the discomfort and asked many times, General Yan and Vice General Zhang still didn't know anything about the truth behind it, and they really didn't know what it was.
He also advised Shi Shu that the situation was unclear, he should act carefully, and he should not believe in people's words, but Shi Shu had already lost his heart, and it didn't matter what he did, he could only rely on Ning Zeqing to take one step at a time and plan slowly for the prince.
Qu Mingli has been reluctant to give up in the past few days, since the battle of the north of the candle, Ban Fei sacrificed, he has never shown a smile again, just lowered his head indifferently, did not say a word, and the affairs of the army were also taken care of by General Yan and Deputy General Zhang.
In the face of the newly arrived army, the Mifeng Army and the Wei Fu Ground Army not only decreased in number in terms of numbers, but also lost a lot of arrogance after repeated defeats.
Whether it is from the upper or lower ranks, the difference can be seen at a glance.
This support army pursued all the way to Qishan, the hometown of Qianwanli.
Originally, there were many soldiers here, and it was difficult to storm the mountain, but now the number of guards is insufficient, and the obstacles have not been laid for the sudden withdrawal, and the main general has escaped, and it is only half a day's work to attack the mountain.
No matter how you say it, Qishan is also the place where the remnants of the previous dynasty are entrenched, and decades of accumulation have finally made this lonely mountain a little royal style, but now the momentum is still there, but the people inside do not have the slightest spirit.
"Yu Sin and others, it's better to ask the prince to come forward and clean it up." General Yan said.
This is a battle between two dynasties, and it is indeed appropriate for Shi Shu to come to the end.
Shi Shu sneered slightly, was surrounded by a group of people, and walked towards Qi Mountain.
At this time, the Wanli army was like a soft persimmon pinched in the hands of the Zi Raid Army, and only a few people opened the way, and then smashed into the hall and cut down the soldiers who were trembling and guarding on the side.
The few remaining ministers and dozens of servants in the hall were tied up one by one and placed aside.
So far, Wan Liqi has not been seen, and only a small hall is left in front, surrounded by the last dozen soldiers.
Shi Shu said to General Yan and Vice General Zhang: "Front, let me come." ”
Even at the last moment, Shi Shu didn't want this former eldest brother to die at the hands of others.
