Chapter 193: Not Killing is Torture
"Drop the rocket!"
You will not let go of such a good opportunity, the crossbowmen who have been arranged a long time ago, do their best to draw the bow and arrows, do not seek accuracy, just shoot the arrows in their hands.
"You are leading the soldiers, encircling from both sides, and now several generals of the combined forces of the various dynasties are being devoured in flames, so you can kill the enemy as much as possible!"
He ordered the lieutenant general beside him.
"Yes!"
The adjutant general listened to the order and immediately led the elite soldiers to encircle from both sides. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the combined forces of the various dynasties was very good, but that was when there were generals who arranged the military formations.
Now the general is basically burned to death, the army is leaderless, the army is chaotic, and in the face of the elite soldiers led by the deputy general under his command, he has no power to resist at all, and is directly slaughtered.
On the blazing battlefield, the screams of a large number of soldiers continued. The battle led by the army ended at noon.
The results of the battle were very great! The army that came to support Nancheng was burned to death by the flames, and the rest of the army was in disarray, and they were all killed by the army himself.
This is still because he is reluctant to leave Baoqing, otherwise the enemy camp on the other side of the river will be destroyed by him.
However, for such a result, it was already possible, and it was a complete victory! The combined forces of the various dynasties had raised a total of nearly 2 million troops, and the losses had now exceeded 1.7 million.
As for the soldiers under his command, more than 80,000 soldiers were killed in the previous defensive battle, and the losses of the enemy army in the current siege may be about 100,000. A total of 180,000 people were lost, but in exchange for the enemy's losses of 1.7 million!
This result is too fruitful!
He himself also knows very well that all this is because Song Qingze's plan was successful, otherwise, let alone killing 2.8 million enemy troops, even if he wants to defend the city, he may not be able to defend it without paying the price of 8.9 million soldiers.
In the southern city, after a night of raging fires, the 1.5 million troops rushed in by the combined forces of various dynasties all died in the southern city.
Less than 200,000 of them were killed by the rain of arrows.
All the rest were devoured by the flames.
"It's over, it's all over!"
Wang Meng looked at the corpses of the soldiers who had turned into charcoal everywhere in the southern city, and he was already able to move, and he collapsed on the ground.
In addition to blaming himself, he still blames himself.
If there was no problem with his plan, he didn't believe Song Qingze, and he didn't let Chen Xuanyang enter the city with an army of 1.5 million, how could he lose 1.5 million troops now?
Just because one of his schemes was used by Song Qingze, the 1.5 million army of the combined forces of the various dynasties was all over!
It's completely over.
"Brother Wang, do you still think that your great general Chen Xuanyang will be able to break out of the encirclement?" Song Qingze looked at Wang Meng and asked.
Wang Meng looked at Song Qingze, smiled bitterly, and used all his strength to get up from the ground and lean against the city wall.
Completely ignoring the scorching bricks and stones of the city wall that were roasted by the fire, he looked at Song Qingze, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "I, Wang Meng, am willing to bow to the wind!"
"Hey, Brother Wang is polite!"
Song Qingze chuckled, looked at Wang Meng, and said, "Brother Wang, I know you are unwilling, but it doesn't matter, now there must be an army in the military camp of the united forces of your dynasties, I can let you go back and let you lead the soldiers to fight me again, what do you think?"
"You want to let me go?" Wang Meng was stunned and looked at Song Qingze incredulously.
Song Qingze nodded and said, "I, Song Qingze, am a person who cherishes my opponent very much, and in my opinion, you Wang Meng may be able to become one of my opponents, so I decided to give you another chance, and we can compete in an upright manner." ”
When Wang Meng heard this, he was very moved, and was about to leave, when suddenly, he was stunned, stared at Song Qingze, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "You are still calculating me." ”
Song Qingze smiled and asked, "Why do you say this?"
"Why do you say this?" Wang Meng sneered and said, "All the 1.5 million troops of the combined forces of the various dynasties were killed, and Chen Xuanyang, the general of the Western Expedition, was killed in battle, and if my military division returned to the barracks intact, what would Your Majesty think of me? What will the people of the Luo family think of me?"
"They will definitely think that I am a collaborator, and this plan was conceived by me, they will definitely not believe me! However, I am the military secretary of the Zhongqian Dynasty, and the military division of the western expedition of the combined forces of various dynasties, and the Luo family will not kill me, but Your Majesty does not have so many scruples. ”
"Song Qingze!"
Wang Meng's face was stunned, and he said: "Now the army of 1.5 million is dead! I, Wang Meng, am an incompetent person! If you want to kill or chop, you will listen to it." ”
Song Qingze nodded and said, "I won't kill you today, you can go." ”
Wang Meng groaned slightly, glanced at Song Qingze a few times, and said, "You don't kill me? Why don't you kill me? Everyone else kills people, is it possible that you Song Qingze will kill people and punish you?"
"Brother Wang, why do you say this?" Song Qingze asked with a smile.
Wang Meng glanced at Song Qingze gloomily and turned to leave.
"Military advisor, why did you let Wang Meng go? This person is not weak in scheming, and keeping him may not be good for the dynasty in the future!" Xiao Lingwei looked at Song Qingze with some doubts.
Song Qingze smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, he is no different from a wasted person now, whether it is the Zhongqian Dynasty or other dynasties, they will not use him." ”
"Moreover, even if there is a dynasty that does not believe in evil and uses him, it doesn't matter, he has already lost in front of me, and he has lost completely, even if he meets again in the future, he will not defeat himself without a fight. ”
"Killing him is too easy, not killing him is the real torture. ”
When Xiao Lingwei heard this, he looked blinded, but he still nodded.
For Wang Meng, being alive is the greatest torture, just like Song Qingze said, no dynasty will dare to use him. And after this battle, Wang Meng lost in front of Song Qingze, and in the face of Song Qingze, he no longer had any thoughts.
In the future, His Majesty will use troops against the combined forces of various dynasties, and if the king of the Zhongqian Dynasty makes Wang Meng a military advisor again, and encounters Song Qingze, he himself will lose confidence.
Therefore, Song Qingze didn't bother to kill him at all, a defeated subordinate who lost confidence would never have a comeback.
When he returned to Nancheng with the victorious army, he also knew about it, and said disdainfully: "You literati are really insidious, you still like to be with Qi Jiguang and them, and the dignified battle is the most hearty!"
At the same time, it is also an admiration for Qi Jiguang: "With General Qi Jiguang here, Your Majesty should be safe and worry-free." ”
Qi Jiguang is respected both as a person and as a worker, so he also has a great respect for Qi Jiguang! Although he is not a human being, he is the essence of the five elements, and he is born with a sense of closeness to a person who is heroic and upright.
