Li Kang's words, Su Qi'an didn't feel that he was deceiving himself.

Li Kang, like Tang Feng, has ambitions and occupies a state, but compared with Tang Feng's cautiousness, Li Kang is a little ruthless.

He dared to leave this sentence, which is enough to prove that Li Kang has the heart to die, at least he has to drag Su Qi'an into the water, and he just left, it is not his style.

Even if Li Kang really ran away, Su Qi'an would have to go to this state capital, and only after occupying the state capital would Jiaozhou City be truly taken, and the biggest civil strife in Jiaozhou would be over.

After some hand-to-hand combat, the henchmen in the room were basically killed, but Su Yong and other twenty or so veterans also suffered heavy casualties.

There are only seven or eight people left who can move, and after this bloody battle, Li Kang's subordinates are not all idiots.

The hand-to-hand fighting in the room ended, but outside, there was no more fighting.

You don't have to go out, standing in the room, you can feel the fierceness of the fierce battle outside.

The earth-shattering sound of fighting resounded throughout the city, the sound of various weapons clashing, one after another, and even worse, some arrows pierced the windows of the room and shot in.

Fortunately, Su Yong and the others were quite cautious, and their expressions were tense from beginning to end, and the moment the arrow came, they cut the arrow into two with one sword.

Taking advantage of the gap, he quickly covered Su Qi'an to hide in a corner of the room, and the remaining seven or eight people took off the armor from the dead guards and made a simple shield.

Formed a circle to protect Su Qi'an, but fortunately, the fierce battle outside did not last long, and the door was gasped open.

The people who were originally nervous looked at the figure that appeared and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

These men were a regiment of soldiers, covered in blood, and it was clear that they had experienced a terrible battle.

When their eyes fell on Su Yong and the others, the battalion commanders led by them greeted him and stepped forward quickly

Seeing that Su Qi'an, who had been protected, was intact, several battalion commanders suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and hurriedly said.

"Master Hou, according to the plan, the state soldiers of the city wall have been solved by us, and the Sifang City Gate has been broken through two, and the rest is no more than one stick of incense, and it can be taken."

Su Qi'an looked at his subordinates covered in blood, nodded, and asked, "What about the casualties."

"Back to the Hou Ye, a regiment suffered a thousand casualties, but it still has combat effectiveness, and the rest of the people have taken over the front wall of the state city, and the army outside the city, after entering the city, they began to encircle and suppress the stubborn state soldiers."

"Looking at the situation, they are retreating one after another, they have retreated to the inner city of the state capital, and the outer part has been taken by us, and it is only a matter of time before they break through the state capital."

Hearing the report, Su Qi'an hummed lightly, although there was no big emotional change on his face, but his heart was quite sad.

The state soldiers who were able to stay in the state city were really not ordinary people, and the first regiment of the Dongshan Army, which had the strongest combat strength, suffered an astonishing 1,000 casualties in front of the state soldiers guarding the main city gate of about 2,000 people.

From here, it is enough to show that the 10,000 state soldiers who stayed in the state city are very strong.

If it is replaced by the second regiment, the third regiment, or even the militia, it is difficult to achieve one to one casualties.

Although the Dongshan Army has been actively training for a year, it does not mean that its soldiers are invincible.

The Dongshan Army is very strong, and similarly, Li Kang, who has occupied Jiaozhou for many years, is not a vegetarian under his command.

What Su Qi'an can do is to continue to strengthen training, as the saying goes, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime.

Su Qi'an instructed several battalion commanders, "Take care of the wounded soldiers, let them withdraw from the state city as soon as possible, encircle and suppress the remnants of the state soldiers, and hand them over to the follow-up army."

"Brothers who died in battle, we must not leave any of them behind, find them all, gather them together, bring them back, and bury them well."

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, his subordinates will do their best to complete it."

After receiving Su Qi'an's order, several battalion commanders turned around and left, taking the soldiers in their respective battalions and starting to carry out their tasks.

Taking care of the wounded soldiers, collecting the fallen soldiers, and bringing back all of them without a single one is the main purpose of the Dongshan Army, and it is every recruit who joins the Dongshan Army

, the first lesson to be learned.

The soldiers of the Dongshan Army, to put it bluntly, are a big family, and everyone is not only a comrade-in-arms, but also a brother.

Su Qi'an treats every soldier equally, and those who have meritorious service are rewarded, and those who make mistakes are punished in accordance with the regulations formulated by the soldiers' committee.

The soldiers who died in battle will not only be collected, but also arranged in a place for unified burial, and this place that has been marked out is called the Dongshan Army Heroes and Soldiers Cemetery.

Soldiers who can be buried in the cemetery will be given the title of hero.

Every year, local children are regularly visited and their heroic deeds before they die in battle.

In each private school and school that was established, there was a very important lesson dedicated to these fallen heroes.

It is precisely because of the education and propaganda from top to bottom, from the old to the young, that all the people living in Qingcheng County have great respect for these fallen heroes.

Therefore, joining the Dongshan Army and becoming a member of it is basically engraved in the bones of the local people.

It is precisely because of the support of the people that the Dongshan Army can have such a strong combat power, even if it is dead, they are willing.

Among them, there are many veterans who have served in other armies before joining the Dongshan Army.

But there has never been an army that can not only have iron-like discipline like the Dongshan Army, but also be loved by the local people, even if it is dead, the aftermath of the death has been dealt with with supremely honorable.

Being called heroes, this is unthinkable before, before they were either called soldiers or veterans.

Unexpectedly, they can also have a time to be respected, and when they die, they are not forgotten, but more respected.

With such an army, they themselves are eager to fight with their lives and not discredit the Dongshan Army.

In this atmosphere, whether it is recruiting new recruits or outbursts of combat effectiveness, the Dongshan Army is a must, and the relationship between Su Qi'an and them will only get deeper and deeper.

These people are not only Su Qi'an's subordinates, but also his brothers, but this is war, as long as there is a war, there will be no immortals, everything is for a more stable life in the future.

After cleaning up his mood, under the protection of Su Yong, Su Qi'an walked out of the room.

At this time, the main gate city wall was full of dead bodies, and some of the natives who stayed behind and arranged to clean up the battlefield in front of them.

As several battalion commanders said, the main gate has been completely taken over, and the siege team has entered the city and is pressing towards the city.

The army of 70,000 is not a joke, especially when the city gates in two directions are taken, at least 40,000 troops have rushed into the city.

No matter how strong the state soldiers guarding the city were, there were only 10,000 people after all, and they lost more than 2,000 people in the battle with a regiment.

Now, under the pressure of step by step, the elite state soldiers in the city are less than 7,000.

If you continue to defend according to the divided city, it will be a matter of time before these 7,000 people are eaten, so after the city gates in two directions are breached, the elite state soldiers are very decisive to give up the remaining two city gates.

Total contraction, relying on the massive defenses built up in the inner city, resisting with all its might.

This resistance was ultimately futile, and the 70,000 troops who entered the city were surrounded in one place, and at the cost of 5,000 casualties, finally broke through the inner city.

Now the entire state city, only less than 150 zhang near the state capital is still in the hands of the state soldiers, and the rest of the places have been conquered.

These stubborn state soldiers are worthy of being Li Kang's henchmen, even if there are still three or four thousand people left, and half of the troops are missing, they still fight to the death.

For these state soldiers who refused to surrender, Huang Wenyan, who was in charge of the command, did not get used to them, and directly attacked them on heavy ballistas and catapults.

In the case of this strong onslaught, only the isolated island of the state capital, which covers an area of 300 zhang, is still holding on, and the siege army is like a tide, and it is encircled in an instant.

Next, as long as the onslaught continues, at most two quarters of an hour, the state city will be taken, which is a certainty.

Just when the army was overpowering the state city and preparing to completely end the Jiaozhou Rebellion, Li Kang's voice suddenly sounded.

It's the same thing he said before he slipped away from the secret door, if you want him to surrender, it's not impossible, let Su Qi'an show up, he only talks to Su Qi'an.

And in this conversation, he did not ask Su Qi'an to enter the state capital, as long as he could see him, he would surrender.

Li Kang's request made Huang Wenyan a little uncertain, not to mention him, even the three elders who usually deal with Li Kang, and several county guards, were quite puzzled.

On the surface, Li Kang does not have any so-called ambush meaning, even if he does, with his current strength and current situation, what ability does he have to engage in an ambush.

It seems that everything he did was to see Su Qi'an, and when he saw him, he would surrender.

This is what they don't understand the most, they really want to meet, they have already met just now, and what kind of moth is they doing this time.

But if Li Kang can be captured alive and let him surrender, this temptation is also very great, not only can it reduce casualties, but it can also make Su Qi'an Zhengda and legally ascend to the throne in Jiaozhou.

Therefore, Li Kang's proposal did make everyone a little uncomfortable, and everyone was ready to discuss how to arrange personnel to the greatest extent to protect Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an took Su Yong and a few people to the state capital so clearly.

Seeing Su Qi'an's arrival, everyone quickly reacted, first of all, Su Qi'an's location should be at least fifty zhang away from the state capital.

At the same time, there was a large group of shield bearers around him, who quickly surrounded him to protect his safety.

Under this kind of tight protection, if you want to shoot and kill, there is no such thing.

Su Qi'an looked at Li Kang, who was standing on the top floor of the state capital in the distance, and said softly, "Li Kang, Benhou has come, fulfill your promise, surrender, this is also for your good."

At this time, Li Kang, even in the face of a desperate situation now, still had a smile on his face, and he didn't take the besieging army in his eyes at all.

Looking around, his eyes fell on Su Qi'an, and he laughed out loud, "Master Suhou, you can turn the Hongmen Banquet into a combination of inside and outside, and with the cooperation of this state, you are a talent."

"But Benshu has been in Jiaozhou for thirteen years, and you are not the first to want Benshu to die, but the people who say this will all die in front of Benshu in the end."

"So, until the last minute, it's not certain who will win and who will lose."
