Chapter Thirty-Four: The Quartet Shows Its Might The King of Qi Cheng was finally captured
The entire county was burned, because there was no need to attack the enemy accurately, just wanton burning, so the fire oil that needed to be consumed was actually not much, and many houses were made of wood, and only a small fire was needed to ignite it.
House after house, burning violently, Long Yu's pursuers were blocked outside, and they had no intention of paying attention to King Qi Cheng, the entire army began to desperately fight the fire, and there were even many people who didn't have time to avoid being burned to death.
The two fires before and after surrounded King Qi Cheng and Qiao Chu in the middle, and neither of them seemed to be in a hurry.
"Providence is like this, it really makes people!"
There is an unknown sentry by King Qi Cheng's side, and this sentry has been by King Qi Cheng's side since he found out that Lu Zhijie was arrested.
"You can retreat, you can judge the situation for yourself in the future, I can't teach you anymore!"
When the sentry heard this, he knew what this meant, and said with tears in his eyes: "Take care of King Qi! ”
Soon the sentry was mixed up with King Qicheng's army, unable to distinguish between them.
King Qi Cheng looked at the young man in front of him and asked casually, "You let me surrender?" Aren't there some conditions? ”
Qiao Chu originally just said it casually, and didn't think that King Qicheng would really surrender.
"Oh? Will Lord Qicheng really surrender, this is the best, Lord Long Yu in front has already promised that as long as you surrender, these soldiers of yours will be exempted from responsibility? ”
"Good! So good, I hope you can keep your word! ”
"Of course!"
"The whole army lays down its weapons, does not resist, and surrenders immediately!"
The entire 200,000 troops did not have the slightest objection, and all of them put down their weapons at the same time and squatted on the ground.
Qiao Chu was a little dazed, he didn't expect it to be so easy?
It was such a great achievement to capture the king alive, and it fell on his head like this
Is there some conspiracy?
"Surround the whole army and control King Qicheng's army!"
Qiao Chu ordered that the 500,000 army slowly surround the Iron Spell Soldiers, and there was really no resistance during the period.
Qiao Chu came to King Qi Cheng, who was already a person, and stepped forward to grab King Qi Cheng's arm.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm going to plot against you?"
"Although I don't necessarily have any skills in leading soldiers, I still have confidence in my martial arts, and the little grandmaster can't hurt me!"
"Hmmm! That's right, I heard that you are already in the realm of a great grandmaster, I don't know why you are so willing to be a prince, don't you have any pursuit when you practice martial arts? ”
"Absolutely!"
"What? Splendor? Ridiculous! ”
After 30 years as an official, King Qicheng has seen through the twists and turns, and he doesn't want to take it as his ambition, and he is also laughing at such people.
"Rong! Chinese! Rich! Expensive! I'm afraid these four words will never have anything to do with me! ”
didn't care about King Qi Cheng's ridicule, but gritted his teeth and said the four words glory and wealth, Qiao Chu became extremely cold in an instant, and his eyes looking at King Qi Cheng were also full of killing intent!
A shudder, King Qi Cheng seemed to feel Qiao Chu's killing intent, this young man's heart was full of hatred, King Qi Cheng even felt Qiao Chu's heart, a young person who was crowned a king should be high-spirited, why is this?
Qiao Chu didn't want to say more, so he locked King Qicheng in a prison car, cleaned up the battlefield, collected the army, and ended the battle.
The Quartet Army showed its might, and in a short time, the news spread around the battlefield, and Qiao Chu captured Qi Cheng without spending a single soldier, and his reputation was prominent and powerful.
Qi Ping'a's training of the Quartet Array for many years did not play any effect at all, but due to a momentary coincidence, it went hand in hand with Long Yu's Dragon Array, and became the top combat power of the dynasty for a while.
A war involving the four kings of the dynasty slowly came to an end, although at the beginning King Qicheng was at an absolute disadvantage, and even had no chance of winning, but the war was cruel after all, just ten days of fighting affected the entire prefecture and county, nearly eight million people were killed and wounded, the dynasty has never had such a serious impact since its establishment, and even slightly shook the foundation of the dynasty.
At the end of the battle, the three kings collected all the prisoners of war, although they promised that King Qicheng would not convict his generals and soldiers, but it was impossible to release them so quickly, and they needed to return to Wushuang City to report to the emperor before making a decision.
It is also necessary to deal with the chaos after the war first, the fire in Nanyang Port and Mochen Road took a million troops to extinguish it for three days, and those robbers who took advantage of the chaos, for these people, Long Yu's order was very simple, it was one word "kill"!
These grass cowards are all wine bags and rice bags, and they have no power to fight back against the strangulation of the three kings, and they were swept away in a few days.
Subsequently, the three armies rested in place for three days and prepared to return to their garrisons.
King Qi Cheng and Lu Zhijie were locked up together, and Long Yu personally gave the order, although the person was arrested by Qiao Chu, but he did not dare to disobey Long Yu's order.
The two brothers were locked up together, so naturally they felt a lot of emotion.
"Big brother still couldn't escape after all, it's a pity!"
"Actually, when I arrived at the end of the road, there were no enemy troops!"
Lu Zhijie grabbed King Qicheng's arm in surprise and asked puzzledly, "Then why is the eldest brother still arrested!" ”
Looking at the brothers who have been with him for many years, King Qi Cheng smiled and said: "I can't bear to see my brothers for many years on the road alone, and I want to give them more opportunities to escape, I am too old to leave!" ”
A man has gold under his knees, and he will never kneel down to anyone.
Men don't flick when they have tears, and no matter how much bitterness they break up, they don't shed tears when they swallow it.
At this moment, Lu Zhijie couldn't hold back his tears, and slipped down wildly, dripping on the prisoner car.
"Why? Why? ”
Compared with King Qicheng's indifferent attitude, Lu Zhijie cares more about other people's lives.
Looking at King Jie, who was crying like a child in front of him, King Qicheng patted him on the back and said: "Don't cry, the four of us brothers bowed at the beginning, and after so many years of ups and downs, it is worth it, this time you and I go to this Huangquan Road together, there is nothing to be afraid of, I just want to be brothers again in the next life!" ”
Lu Zhijie's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, he looked up at his eldest brother who had taken care of him for many years, and said hoarsely: "That's right, if there is an afterlife, I will be brothers again!" ”
Lu Zhijie knew in his heart that King Qicheng might have a chance to escape, and he couldn't bear to see himself die alone, so he actually accompanied him on this Huangquan Road.
The two of them don't need to say much, everything is already clear in their hearts, and there are no regrets about having such a brother in this life.
Li Cheng was reporting on the recruited soldiers, when he suddenly discovered a major incident and hurriedly reported to Long Yu.
"My lord, it's too bad, I counted all the captives just now, and there are no Qian Yu and Zhou De, not even King Qicheng's wife and son!"
Long Yu was worried about the excessive number of casualties, and when he heard the news, he frowned and said, "Is the count clear?" Didn't fall? ”
Li Cheng said anxiously: "No, I've counted it three times, but I haven't found it, did I escape through the end of the dust road?" ”
Long Yu thought about it carefully and said: "First release the portraits of Qian Yu and Zhou De to the prefectures and counties, assist in investigating and arresting him, and go all out to search for the end of the dust road to see if they have been burned to death, if they passed the end of the dust road before, I am afraid we will not be able to catch it now!" ”
Li Cheng seemed to have become an ant on a hot pot, and said hurriedly: "It's my lord, it's bad, how can this be good!" ”
Ran out in a panic.
Putting down the inventory file in his hand and looking at the direction in which Li Cheng ran out, Long Yu felt strange in his heart, Li Cheng usually does things with his own orders first, never asks more and never talks, and will not do something beyond his authority, why is he so enthusiastic about King Qi Cheng this time?
However, Long Yu didn't think much about it, after all, Li Cheng was picked up by himself, afraid that the emperor would blame him?
The conversation between Lu Zhijie and King Qi Cheng just now also reached Long Yu's ears, the prisoners have no free space, King Qi Cheng's every move is now closely monitored, and Long Yu has never been able to understand why King Qi Cheng rebelled.
There is simply no one plausible reason to explain all this.
Nanyang Port is the end of this rebellion, some people are happy and some are sad.
"Get out of the way, don't stop me!" Zhou De angrily pushed away Qian Yu and prepared to rush back to the end of the road.
"You're crazy, it's a dead end to go back now, we worked so hard to escape!"
Qian Yu couldn't stop Zhou De at all, the weakest of the four brothers, and he used his brain far more often than he did.
was thrown to the ground by Zhou De, and Zhou De immediately mounted his horse and prepared to rush back to Nanyang Port.
A flying knife shot at the horse's throat with precision, and the speed was so fast that even the Great Grandmaster's Zhou De didn't react, and the horse fell to the ground in response.
Unexpectedly, Qian Yu's methods were so vicious, Zhou De was even more angry, and rushed up and knocked Qian Yu to the ground with a punch.
shouted: "In vain, the eldest brother and the second brother regard you and me as brothers, and now they are in deep danger, you actually let me abandon them, and even lied to me that it was a sneak attack on the enemy, and I was careless to fall for you!" ”
It turned out that Zhou De and Qian Yu escaped from the end of the road, Zhou De was deceived by Qian Yu, thinking that their team of more than 1,000 people was a sneak attack on the enemy, who knew that it was a deserter.
Zhou De didn't want to talk nonsense with Qian Yu anymore, his life was saved by King Qicheng, and if he couldn't save King Qicheng, he would die with him, and he had repaid the grace of saving his life.
"Qian Yu, I misjudged you!"
Zhou De led another horse and prepared to leave.
Seeing that he was about to be unable to stop Zhou De, Qian Yu was also anxious, hurriedly stood up from the ground, and shouted: "Zhou De, you stop for me, it is the order of the eldest brother to let us retreat, do you want to disobey the military order?" ”
Zhou De, who was about to gallop on horseback, was stunned for a moment, he also knew in his heart that Qian Yu was not the kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and it must be the intention of the eldest brother to do this, but he couldn't accept such a humiliating life.
"I, I don't want to disobey the military order, but this time it's really ............!"
Just when Zhou Deleng was in place, another pair of centaurs walked out from the side.
It turned out to be the wives and children of the four brothers and some elderly people in the army, who also escaped from the end of the road.
King Qi Cheng's son was also an adult, and he watched the battle between the two uncles and did not speak, because he knew that he could not change the facts no matter what.
Looking at his wife and children, Zhou De was also a little touched, and his eyes were filled with tears.
