When the light of the morning light pierced the clouds, the entire Shanwu City had ended the war, countless torches were lit around the city, and the figures were crowded, and the entire Shanwu City was crowded with the Northern Army, and the head of the Shanwu City was full of banners of the Yongguo and the Northern Army.

A large number of foot soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were carrying ring-headed knives, cutting off the heads of the soldiers of the Ji State one by one, and then piling them together, and the city was full of blood.

Qin Ke was wearing armor, Wu Mo, Lin Chong, Wang Rong and others were on the side, and a group of people stood at the head of the city, their eyes looking into the distance along the city.

The faint morning light, combined with the light of the torches, showed that a large group of horsemen was passing through the castle, moving non-stop towards the north and east.

Qin Ke put one hand on the low city wall and asked intently, "How is the situation in Wuzhou?" ”

Xuanwu General He Lun replied with a smile: "General rest assured, my northern army will be dispatched quickly, and the commander of the Ji State of Yanmen County still thinks that we need to prepare for some time like other guards, and everything is going well at present!" ”

Qin Ke listened, nodded reassuringly, and said: "Then it's up to Liyu and Duan Siji, as long as they defeat the Ji army on the side wall, and then occupy Yanze and Zhuwenze." The northern part of Yanmen County is in my hands. ”

Fan Yuan, the general of Wude Zhonglang on the side, hesitated for a moment and said: "General, according to intelligence, the Ji army in Wuzhou City has 40,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry soldiers with armor. A total of 100,000 people, 50,000 of our army conscripted the northern army, 50,000 county troops, and 100,000 township soldiers. Now that 20,000 main forces have been allocated to the north to sweep the land, if they attack Wuzhou City, will the troops be too weak? ”

What Fan Yong said was that these 100,000 township soldiers were not so much township soldiers as people's husbands, and there were less than 40,000 people who could wear armor, and the remaining 60,000 were just wearing uniform uniforms, not even a single armor leaf.

Qin Ke smiled and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, General Fan." This time we have to fight a skillful battle, mainly to kill and injure the enemy, as for the capture of the city, the soldiers in the hands of the commander of Yanmen County are gone, what do you have to defend the city? ”

Qin Ke turned his head, looked at Wang Wei and said, "Zhong Ming, how are you preparing?" ”

Wang Rong nodded and said, "General, with these 100,000 villagers, the last general will guarantee that the underground of Shanwu City will be dug into an underground palace within three days." ”

The task given to Wang Biao by Qin Ke was very simple, that is, to dig a tunnel, starting from an inconspicuous empty courtyard in Shanwu City, and digging the tunnel behind a hillside outside the west of the city.

Wang Rong specially transferred Lin Yan, who had studied civil engineering with Lin Musen, from the position of county lieutenant of Linrongcheng to the county army as the captain. Wang Rong directly handed over the task of digging tunnels to Lin Yan, and he was fully responsible.

Qin Ke's face turned grim and said, "The matter of the tunnel is very important, Zhong Ming should be more serious, and at the same time pay attention to secrecy. Do not let the people of the city know. ”

Wang Rong bowed and gave a military salute and said, "Oh! Rest assured, General! Absolutely! ”

Qin Ke talked and laughed with the generals around him, it seemed that the smell of blood in the city did not exist, and he was still talking and laughing in the bloody rain.

At this moment, several figures walked over, their footsteps chaotic. Everyone looked at it, it was the vanguard commander Wang Bo, who was followed by several soldiers.

They also held a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and only a single shirt on his body. The middle-aged man's body was paralyzed, and if there was no help from others, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground like a puddle of mud.

When he got closer, Wang Bo pulled the middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears over, and said, "General, this fat man is the lord of Shanwu City, and when he was caught, he was sleeping with two beautiful girls in his arms." ”

The indifferent eyes of the generals around Qin Ke fell on this fat man, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

The fat man couldn't bear the pressure, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, kept kowtowing, and shouted loudly for mercy.

Qin Ke didn't bother to glance at this fat man who was afraid of death, looked at Wang Bo and asked, "How is the situation in the city?" ”

Wang Bo smiled and said loudly: "Except for this guy, none of the miscellaneous soldiers in the city have left any living mouth!" ”

When the fat man who knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing heard this, he was completely paralyzed into mud, his body trembled incessantly, and he was afraid in his heart: This group of guys is also ruthless!

Qin Ke raised his eyebrows, looked at the fat man who was kneeling on the ground, already scared to pee, and asked, "You are the Lord of Shanwu City?" What is your name? ”

The sobbing fat man was still shocked by the killing of the Yongjun at this time, his brain was blank, and he ignored Qin Ke's words and couldn't answer at all.

Wang Bo looked at the appearance of the fat man, frowned, kicked him and shouted angrily: "General Zhengbei asked you!" Dumb?! ”

The fat man was kicked awake by Wang Bo, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly replied, "Return... Back to the general, the villain's name is Zhao Jue. ”

Even if he is a pig, he has heard the name of Qin Ke, the general of the expedition to the north, as the sixteenth prince of Yongguo, he has been in the army since he was a child, and some time ago he led the army to repel the soldiers and horses of the two countries.

Qin Ke showed a kind smile, stepped forward to help Zhao Jue up, and said, "General Zhao Jue, right?" Come on, come on, what are you doing on your knees, stand up and talk. ”

Zhao Yu stood up with fear on his face, his legs trembling unconsciously, not knowing what he was going to face. He only knew that the more than 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers who were still alive during the day had now become headless ghosts, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city were estimated to be more than lucky.

Qin Ke looked at Zhao Jue and asked with a smile: "General Zhao is the Ji State Sect?" ”

Although Qin Ke's tone was calm, it was like a bell urging Zhao Jue's ears.

Zhao Yu hurriedly explained: "The villain is just a distant branch, and in my generation, it doesn't matter whether or not you have the name of this clan. ”

Zhao Yu was really afraid that Qin Ke would cut him down with a knife and send him to the Imperial Court to invite merit. He really didn't have the temperament of a city lord at all, and he didn't even have the temperament of a soldier. His appearance made the surrounding generals and colonels of the Northern Expeditionary Army show a look of deep disdain on their faces.

Qin Ke smiled and reached out to pat Zhao Jue's shoulder, and said, "General Zhao, don't be afraid, I didn't expect to do anything to you, looking at your appearance, you must want to live, if you want to live, it will be easy to do." How about doing something for General Ben, and if you do it, you can not only survive, but also get a large bounty? ”

When Zhao Jue heard that Qin Ke would not kill him, he seemed to see the hope of living, and his face was overjoyed, and when he heard that Qin Ke asked him to do something, his expression was stunned again, and he asked cautiously: "I don't know what the general wants the villain to do?" ”

Wang Rong listened to Zhao Yu's question, snorted coldly, and said with a full sense of intimidation: "What, General Zhao still wants to bargain with us?" ”

When Zhao Jue heard Wang Rong's words, he immediately shook his head and quickly explained: "The villain doesn't dare, he doesn't dare, but he is driven by the general!" ”

This good city lord who was majestic and powerful before, has already realized that he can't help himself if he can't do it, if he shakes his head, he is afraid that he will have to move his head in an instant.

Qin Ke nodded with satisfaction at Wang Rong's intimidation, and said very solemnly: "General Ben is a good man, and he will definitely not kill you after the matter is completed!" ”

When Zhao Yu heard Qin Ke's assurance, his face was overjoyed, and his eyes lit up, as long as he could survive, let him do anything!

Qin Ke tilted his head towards He Lun and Fan Yuan, and said, "This guy will be handed over to you, don't go wrong!" ”

He Lun and Fan Yan bowed and clasped their fists and said, "No! ”

After a while, the first and fourth divisions of the Northern Army rode a total of 20,000 people out of Shanwu City, and more than 1,000 people in front of the team wore the uniforms of the Ji army. 20,000 people gradually disappeared from view, and they didn't know where to go.

Qin Ke stood at the head of the city with his hands on his hands, looked at the crowds outside the city, and sighed: "What a big Beijing temple!" ”
