Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 213 Qin Ke, Xu!
When Wang Rong walked into the city of Luoxian, the fire had been extinguished by the people in the city, the Bingzhou army and the surrendered army in the city.
The sledgehammer strode forward, the boots on his feet were splashed with blood, and he carried a head in his hand. When passing by the soldiers, there was a burst of exclamations.
Sledgehammer walked up to Wang Rong, gave a military salute, and said loudly: "General, fortunately, the head of the white boat is here!"
Wang Rong nodded, and did not look at the bloody head. Instead, he said to Sledgehammer, "Go, tell Tie Tower and Ma Yuansi, gather the army, we should go!"
Sledgehammer listened to Wang Rong's order, looked puzzled, and asked, "Then general, what about these surrendered troops?" Just leave it to its own devices?"
Li Sujie took over and said, "Of course not, most of these surrendered soldiers are the people of Luo County, we do not collect ordnance, and they organize their own township soldiers to defend the city to prevent the attack of the Bearded People. There are also 10,000 troops, which are removed from the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the only son, and incorporated into the first division."
This time, only two brigades came to the First Division, one was the Second Brigade with a sledgehammer, and the other was the First Brigade of Ma Yuansi.
Sledgehammer looked at Wang Rong and said, "General, you know me, now my focus is on the first brigade, do you see if you can hand over this second brigade to someone else?"
Wang Rong smiled and said, "Who are you going to hand it over?"
Sledgehammer thought for a moment and said, "I think Ling Ping is good, this person is from a scout, he is alert and resolute, and he has a strategy, which is much stronger than me, a rough man who only knows recklessness."
Wang Rong nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then Ling Ping, pass the order, Ling Ping will be promoted to the commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division because of his merits!"
Li Sujie looked at Wang Rong and asked, "Isn't it time for us to go north to Cloudsdale City next?"
Wang Rong nodded and said, "The soldiers are fast, we have to set off immediately, relieve the siege of Cloud City, and give the Eighth Prince a generous gift by the way."
At this moment, Cloud City has been surrounded for many days. The eighth prince, Qin Shu, would let people shoot persuasion letters into the city every day, and the words were clichés. What sixteenth brother is my sibling, as long as I surrender, I will save my life or something.
The sixteenth prince, Qin Ke, turned a deaf ear, except for sending people to guard the city, but there was no other action. Qin Shu was not in a hurry, he took the two armies of Zhenbei and Pingbei to besiege Yunzhong City, of course, 100,000 people besieged the city, and the camp that could be built was relatively thin. Viewed from above, it's just a thin ring.
At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Shu and Wang Shihui were discussing the military situation, although Wang Shihui was half a level older than Qin Shu in terms of rank, but who called someone a relative of the emperor, Wang Shihui only had to obey the order, and he could afford to look up to him if he came to counsel the military aircraft.
Qin Shu looked at the sand table with a puzzled expression, and asked, "General, you said that the sixteenth brother has already surrounded us here, there are no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, what are he waiting for?"
Wang Shihui also looked puzzled, and he replied: "Yes, Lord Wang, according to the report from the spies, the city has begun to kill horses to satisfy hunger, but there is no intention of surrendering, which is really confusing."
Qin Shu listened to Wang Shihui's words, and rolled his eyes in his heart: Who doesn't know this, and you still need to say it.
Just when the two of them were pondering the reason why Qin Ke did not surrender. In Yunzhong City, in the county guard's mansion, Zhang Songqi was firmly holding Qin Ke's hand.
If Wang Rong was here at this time, he would definitely be surprised. The sixteen princes, who were once high-spirited, pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan, were actually in a state of dying at this time, and the whole person was as thin as a hemp pole.
Zhang Songqi didn't change much, he looked at Qin Ke, whose lips were squirming and wanted to speak, and his heart was sad. Since the decisive battle that day, Qin Ke has fallen ill due to injuries, and he has more than a dozen scars all over his body, like sacks full of holes, and there are several buckets of blood alone. And the arrows that were shot into its body were even more incomparably damaged, and although they were not smeared with poison, they were impregnated in filth.
This made Qin Ke's wound quickly infected and suppurated, his whole body became hot, and the whole person was quickly tortured by the injury and dying.
Zhang Songqi looked at Qin Ke
, said with tears in his eyes: "I know what you have to say, I will definitely treat the soldiers of the Northern Army well, and then take them to join the Bingzhou Army. Don't worry, you should still take care of your injuries."
As soon as Zhang Songqi's words were finished, Qin Ke's held hand hung down weakly, his head tilted, and the person had already gone.
Zhang Songqi looked at Qin Ke in front of him, his expression was sad, he looked at the generals under him and said, "Pass the order!" All the army is vegetarian! Defend the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
"Whoa!"
Soon the abnormal movement in Yunzhong City reached the ears of Qin Shu and Wang Shihui, and the two hurriedly came to the city with a group of personal soldiers.
When Qin Shu saw that the soldiers in the city had white cloth belts wrapped around their heads, white cloth strips around their waists, and their flags were also inlaid with white edges, the whole person was a little confused. He hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "The whole city is Susu, it must be that the lord of the city has died, you hurry up and ask who it is, and then come back to report to me!"
"Whoa!"
Qin Shu took Wang Shihui back to the Chinese army tent to wait, and after a while, the guards who went to inquire about the news returned. The shocked look on his face made Qin Shu secretly scream in his heart.
Qin Shu hurriedly asked, "Say it quickly! Who died in the city?"
The guard said in a trembling voice, "Lord Qiqi, the sixteenth prince, died because of his injuries."
The guard's words rang in his ears, but Qin Shu's head was indeed buzzing. On the battlefield, the horse leather shrouded body, this is understandable, but Lao Sixteen became the first clan to die in this national turmoil, but Qin Shu couldn't accept it anyway.
Wang Shihui's face was sad, but the words he said were extremely indifferent: "Lord, now is not the time for sadness and sadness, the sixteenth prince is gone, and the morale in Yunzhong City must not be high at this time, it is a good time to attack the city!"
Qin Shu waved his hand to stop Wang Shihui's next words, he looked at Wang Shihui, who had a sad face but an excited look in his eyes, and said with a sad face: "Pass the order, the whole army will be vegetarian, and at the same time, hang up the battle card for a day."
Wang Shihui still wanted to persuade again: "But, Lord Wang, such a good opportunity..."
Qin Shu's sad expression instantly turned angry, and he yelled at Wang Shihui, "What opportunity? What is the opportunity? It was my brother who died, at my hands. Do you want me to teach you the truth that the mourning soldiers will win? One day of truce! Go down and give orders!"
In this way, the inside and outside of the city became a vast white ocean, and at the same time the sixteen princes Qin Ke were commemorated.
