Chapter 45: General Su
After the brilliant fireworks, a group of falcons flew in the sky, which made Su Qi, the commander of the Southern Eight-Nation Alliance, a little puzzled. He originally thought that this fireworks was a signal for the Xia army to lure the ambush soldiers forward, and he had ordered the Chinese army to shrink in order to prevent the Xia army's ambush soldiers from attacking from both sides.
The coalition forces shrank and surrounded the crossbowmen in the center. The Xia army and the Chinese army also died down and stood still and waited. For a while, the battlefield was very strange, the sound of fighting on both wings shook the sky, but the Chinese army was staring at each other, and it was quiet.
In the blink of an eye, these falcons also flew above the coalition army, and Su Qi squinted his eyes, wondering if this was the Xia army's suspicious plan. Suddenly, I heard a sharp-eyed soldier in the army shouting: "These birds have laid eggs, and there are many of them." β
Su Qi's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "The army disperses!" But his voice had long been buried in the roaring explosion.
The "eagle falcon" in the air is naturally the "wooden bird" arranged by Mu Yi. Each woodbird carries thirty fire mines. As soon as they flew over the enemy, the "cavalry" lit the fuse with a fire breaker, cut the rope, and threw down the fire and thunder.
For a time, the center of the coalition army turned into a sea of fire, and the surviving soldiers kept rolling and slapping the flames on their bodies. But these soldiers are stained with fire oil, how can they easily extinguish the flames. Most people flutter for a while and then go silent.
Su Qi reacted quickly, and he had his own soldiers sacrificing his life to protect him, although his face was black, he was not injured. He looked at the fire in the array, his heart was sad, he knew that the general trend had gone, and he was just waiting for the Xia army to come and be killed.
However, he said that in the Xia army's formation, Yue Ting jumped like thunder, and he was extremely dissatisfied. It turned out that the soldiers on the wooden bird had not been trained much after all, and they could not grasp the speed and wind direction well, in fact, most of the fire and thunder were thrown outside the formation. Fortunately, the fire oil splashed after the explosion of these fire and thunder was too domineering, and almost all the enemy's troops were ignited, which made their military spirit collapse and collapse.
The southern coalition forces on both flanks were already short of combat strength, and they were struggling to support under the impact of the Xia cavalry.
When the fire was a little smaller, Mu Yi ordered the sergeant to check the casualties of the enemy. Those with minor injuries were simply bandaged on the spot and taken to prisoner of war camps, and those who were unrecognizable and dying could only be given a good time.
Mu Yi saw that the battlefield was extremely tragic, and broken arms and stumps could be seen everywhere, and he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart, hiding his face and sighing.
Seeing him like this, Yue Ting shook his head and said, "If you don't lead the troops, you can't do anything." Second, you are now a general, and you have millions of people in your hands, how can you still be such a little child. β
Mu Yi immediately woke up when he heard this, and nodded yes: "Sun Tzu said: 'Thick but can't be used, love can't be ordered, chaos can't be cured, like a proud son, it can't be used.'" What the eldest brother said is that if our army is defeated, I am afraid that there will be no place to bury it. β
While speaking, Wednesday had already escorted Su Qi, the commander of the coalition forces, to Mu Yima, beating and scolding him to kneel, but Su Qi remained unmoved, his face full of arrogance.
This Su Qi is about forty years old, extremely burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a wide nose and wide eyes. Although his face was black, he couldn't hide the heroism on his face. Although the general's armor is somewhat damaged, it also shows the extraordinaryness of the master.
Mu Yi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and drank to Wednesday: "Don't be unreasonable to General Su." On Wednesday, he understood and confessed again and again, and Nono retreated.
"I have heard of General Su's name and admired it in my heart. See you today, Sansheng is lucky. Mu Yi laughed while untying the rope on Su Qi's body.
In fact, he had never heard of Su Qi's name, but he had just heard Anan mention that there was such a person. It's just that he, the general, rose too fast, and there were no available generals under him. Seeing Su Qisheng's extraordinary majesty and the commander of the million-dollar coalition army, his heart moved and he wanted to use it for his own use.
It's just that his actions are too clichΓ©. Su Qi snorted coldly and shook off Mu Yi's hands: "You are the commander of the Xia Army?" It turns out that he is just a yellow-haired boy, and the milk smell has not dried up." It's really a that I, Su Qi, have been defeated by such shameful means. β
Mu Yi and Yue Ting were stunned for a moment, only to understand that he was saying that Xia Jun's tactics of "wooden birds throwing thunder" were shameless. Yue Ting sneered disdainfully: "'Soldier, treacherous. 'Even I, a talented scholar in liberal arts, know what General Su has never heard. Could it be that this mountain of less than 100,000 is too savage, and the general can only ride a horse and slash and kill, and he doesn't know what the art of war is. β
Su Qi suddenly blushed and had a thick neck, the black ash on his face could not hide his big red face, he stalked his neck, and looked at the sky with two eyes: "I was captured today, I have nothing to say." I already had the will to die, but I just wanted to know who the commander of the Xia Army was, so I didn't kill myself. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I just want to die quickly. What a pity for my husband's death, and why ridicule me. β
When Mu Yi heard this, the other party's speech and behavior were quite similar to those of the Great Xia people, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why should General Su be anxious, death row prisoners are not starving ghosts." Even if the general begs for death, he must eat and drink enough, and he will give orders for the future. lest there be no one to take care of your wife and children at home, and you will be oppressed by others. β
Su Qi's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
Mu Yi chuckled, and ordered someone to take Su Qi into the prisoner of war camp to take care of him.
After everyone dispersed, Yue Ting asked curiously, "Second brother, are you trying to recruit Su Qi?" But I think this person is a hard bone, and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. β
Mu Yi smiled: "If you surrender with one move, I don't dare to use it." In fact, there is no way, my general has risen too fast, and there are no henchmen under him who can fight well. Wednesday, Liu Fugui, can also be a guard commander. It's okay for them to lead people to fight, and it's okay to lead troops to fight. β
"The prisoners of war of Wu and Zhao were all escorted back to Great Xia by Xia Wenyuan. I also took advantage of the eight southern countries to quickly develop some henchmen and generals, so as not to be isolated and constrained by Xia Wenyuan and them. β
Yue Ting couldn't help nodding: "Second brother, you have finally grown up." Then how are you going to deal with this Su Qi. In fact, it's okay to develop others, I think there are a lot of tough guys in this southern army. β
Mu Yi was confident: "Big brother, don't worry." I think this Su Qi must be an old man from the former dynasty of Great Xia, and his words are quite passionate, presumably he has been influenced by Confucianism for a long time. The sage said: 'Filial piety comes first'. In ancient times, there were soldiers who left their seriously ill old mothers and fought with the army. was denounced by Confucianism as unfilial. The sergeant remained at home and was reprimanded by the courtiers for being disloyal. β
Therefore, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and Su Qi is not a person who has been in the mountains for a long time. Moreover, Su Qi has been the commander of the army for a long time, and he has a group of generals who can recruit and fight well, as long as Su Qi is subdued, he will be able to subdue most of the Southern Army. β
Yue Ting couldn't help but speak: "I didn't expect you to be so far-sighted to the second brother, the eldest brother really underestimated you." I'll send someone to find out the whereabouts of Su Qi's family, so I can make plans as soon as possible. β
After cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Yi led his army eastward, and the coalition forces of the eight southern countries were destroyed, and the countries were no longer able to resist.
Everywhere Xia Jun went, the kings of all countries opened the city gates, drove white horses, led sheep, knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and hoped that Mu Yi, the general, could open the net and bypass their lives. If you look at their sincerity, if you say a few good words to Emperor Xia, give them an empty title, and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, it is even more unwanted.
With this good thing, Yue Ting naturally will not let it go. Along the way, the lion opened his mouth and looted the treasury of various countries, which not only did not receive criticism, but made these monarchs smile, thinking that their lives must have been saved, and it would be okay to be crowned a marquis and earl.
Mu Yi was a little crying and laughing, if it was those generals, he would have let him go, and naturally no one would care. But the monarch of this enemy country, it depends on the meaning of Emperor Xia. On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to snore. How could Mu Yi not understand Xia Yuxuan's thoughts.
When the time comes, I can only help them try their best to say good things, and it depends on God whether they can save their lives. As for the knighthood, I don't dare to mention it. However, following Yue Ting, he also learned to be thick-skinned enough, and he didn't know about Yue Ting's empty promises.
Su Qi's family was also found quickly, after all, no one knew about the general's mansion. Mu Yi heard that Su Qi only had an old mother, and his heart was even more settled. Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism are all men's concepts. Most of the women in the previous dynasty were illiterate, and it was easier to fool around.
Yue Ting already has a lotus tongue, and such an errand is naturally handled by him. After a while, I saw him return happily.
Before he could sit down in the hall, Yue Ting couldn't wait to speak: "It's really effortless. Before I entered the door, the Su family lined up outside to welcome me. The old lady of the Su family also called me one by one, which made me embarrassed. β
Mu Yi was also surprised: "Could it be that this old man is from the Great Xia clan, isn't he from the Great Zhou Dynasty in the previous dynasty?"
Yue Ting waved his hand: "What Great Xia, Great Zhou." Except for some sour and foolish loyalists, who cares about these names. When Great Xia was founded, most of the ministers of the former dynasty were not all obedient. But no one is immune to this homesickness. Su Qi's ancestor was originally a general of the previous dynasty, and he followed a prince to establish a country in the mountains of 500,000. Life in this mountain is miserable, and no one misses their hometown. Whether it's Great Xia or Great Zhou, aren't they all from our own clan? Not occupied by foreign races. β
Mu Yi was even more happy when he heard this. Hurriedly went to talk to Mrs. Su, and after talking, I found that the ancestor of the Su family was also from Lingzhou, and now there is a descendant of the Su family in Lingzhou.
In this way, Mu Yi was even more relieved, and passed Su Qi to the court overnight, lest he accidentally commit suicide.
Life in the 500,000 mountains is miserable, even the candles are very thin, Mu Yi deliberately lit only one, and the hall was dim and abnormal. When Su Qi arrived in the hall, he couldn't see clearly who was sitting next to him for a while.
Mu Yi didn't wait for him to take a clear look at the people in the room, so he preemptively asked, "General Su, don't come unharmed." β
Su Qi put away his eyes and sneered: "Your subordinates are afraid that I will lose a single hair, so they will naturally be fine." I know what you're going to say, and you're going to die of this heart. 'Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been two masters. Although he is not talented, he also knows etiquette, righteousness and shame. β
"Since you know etiquette, do you know that 'the order of your parents cannot be violated'?" Old Madam Su in the dark said coldly.
"Ah!" Su Qi heard his mother's voice, so he hurriedly knelt down and said angrily to Mu Yi: "'Woe to the family', the erector actually threatened Su with his mother, how could it be done by a gentleman!"
