Chapter 1026: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
It was rainy in the south, and the drizzle was sprinkled down again at dusk, and when night fell, the soldiers of the Blackstone Empire lit torches, illuminating the entire square of Yucheng, and on the square were thousands of unarmed Yucheng civilians, one by one with anger on their faces, scolding at the army of the Blackstone Empire.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
In the sound of horses' hooves, a familiar flag appeared in the eyes of everyone, it was the banner of the Boxer Kingdom, at the invitation of Lu Yan, Qin Yi, Qin Huan and his son must come to enjoy this massacre.
Qin Yi is already very old, his original gray hair is now completely white, his hair is soft, and even the pine hairpin is about to be unable to wrap it, and there are not many people he has brought, just two commanders and more than a dozen commander-level generals.
"Dadu, be careful. ”
A captain carefully helped Qin Yi off his horse, and when Qin Yi's boots fell on the rain, he staggered, almost unsteady.
"Father!" Qin Huan hurriedly held on, his face pale.
"Most of the capitals are here!" Lu Yan walked forward with a laugh and arched his hand: "We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Qin Yi glanced at the civilians in the square and the elite of the Haishan Army who were ready to attack not far away, and had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and said, "Commander Lu Yan invited us to come...... I don't know what to command?"
"No, no, no, there are no orders. Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yucheng has hindered us for many days, and now Yucheng is broken, the soldiers of my Black Stone Empire are fighting bravely, and I, the commander, must also reward them, and for real warriors, there is no more appropriate reward than slaughter, these people in Yucheng are stubborn, trying to fight to the death with us, hum...... I want to let them know the consequences of using the mantis arm as a car, and the Boxers are our allies, so naturally they will come to watch the ceremony, and please ask most of them to point out whether there are still flaws in the iron cavalry battle formation of our Haishan Army. ”
As he spoke, Lu Yan raised his arms and shouted, "Prepare to charge!"
In the distance, cavalrymen covered in armor mounted their horses, their shields standing upright, spears like a forest, and the majestic horses stepping on their front hooves, as if they were also expecting a massacre.
"Rush!"
Lu Yan suddenly dropped his arm.
The sound of horses' hooves roared, and the blades of spears and swords glittered in the firelight, making people feel like they were in the middle of winter on a spring day.
In the crowd, the civilians were in a panic, and suddenly, one of the people wearing low-level civilian official clothes shouted in the direction of Qin Yi, Qin Huan and others: "Dadutong, help......! I am an official of the Boxer Kingdom, and I am Zhang Jun of the Governor's Mansion of Bailing City...... Most of the capitals are helping, and Your Highness is helping......"
Zhang Jun seemed to see a life-saving straw, and frantically rushed to Qin Yi, Qin Huan and others with a group of people, how prosperous the Yihe Kingdom was, Qin Yi, the unification of most of the capitals, would definitely be able to save his life.
It's a pity that Qin Yi turned his face away and couldn't bear to look at the scene in front of him.
"Stand back!"
A group of heavy infantry armed with shields shook Zhang Jun and the others away with their shields, and even slashed them with broadswords.
"Dadu Tong! Dadu Tong......" Zhang Jun's face began to pile up despair, and in a miserable howl, his left arm was cut off by a heavy infantryman, and he was drenched in blood, and after retreating a few steps, he trembled, and the blade of a riding spear appeared in his chest, which was a black iron cavalry common to the heavy cavalry of the Black Stone Empire.
"Plop ......"
Zhang Jun fell to his knees softly, but his eyes always looked in the direction of Qin Yi and Qin Huan, until he lay down straight and became a gradually cooling corpse.
Qin Yi looked at the dead Zhang Jun, his face was calm, and he didn't seem to have the slightest sadness or joy. And Qin Huan was clenching his fists, where could he bear such humiliation, gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Lu Yan, these civilians are just unarmed farmers, craftsmen, etc., why do you need to kill them all, please be merciful to the commander's subordinates......"
"Is Your Highness interceding for this group of chaotic people?" Lu Yan looked at him and smiled faintly: "Isn't it?"
"Count...... Sort of......" Qin Huan said in a low voice.
"Less!" Lu Yan sneered: "Did His Royal Highness have such kindness when he owned half of the country? I'm afraid not, as the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, such a simple truth His Royal Highness will not understand, the people of the Great Qin Empire are like barren grass all over the ground, corrupt and tenacious, if they are not uprooted now, they will soon take root and sprout, they will smelt iron and cast soldiers, almost the enemy of my Black Stone Empire, Your Highness Young Highness does not have to intercede, I Lu Yan has my own measure. ”
"But ......"
"Don't say it, unless His Royal Highness wants to be one of them. Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Most of them are outstanding people in Lingnan, although I, Lu Yan, am ruthless, but I still want to leave a bloodline for the Qin family in Lingnan, and I hope that His Royal Highness will do it himself, knowing what he should do and what he should not do." ”
Qin Huan was stunned, so he stopped talking, Lu Yan could do what he said, he was not ordinary ruthless.
At this time, Bai Liyan, a strategist beside Lu Yan, stepped forward in a black robe, and respectfully bowed his hand to Qin Yi and said, "In Xia Bailiyan, see the Boxer Metropolitan Commandery." ”
Qin Yi nodded: "Sir, don't be polite, if you have any orders...... Just say it. ”
"Then there will be no detours in the next round. The Haishan army attacked Yucheng for several days, losing troops and generals, and the soldiers all needed to rest, so they also asked the capital to lead the 100,000 troops of the Boxers to open the way in front, lightning rushed to Shangyang City, and captured Shangyang City without Xiang Yu being prepared, which was a great miracle. ”
Qin Yi couldn't help but look cold: "Mr. Baili is planning to let our Boxer army attack Shangyang City first?"
"That's right. ”
Bai Liyan smiled faintly: "But don't worry about the capital, the more than 100,000 troops of the Blackstone Empire will arrive later, and they will suppress the formation for the capital in the rear, if the capital can't capture Shangyang City, we will take your turn." ”
Qin Yi had mixed feelings in his heart, and it felt like he was being roasted on a fire. Bai Liyan wanted to kill people with a knife, but he had no choice, he was controlled by others step by step, and he was completely unable to be autonomous.
After a while, Qin Yi clenched his fists and said, "Obey the general's order, but ...... All the food, grass, equipment, and war horses needed by the Boxer Kingdom are also expected to be prepared by Mr. ”
"Most of the capitals, please rest assured, they will naturally be ready in the future, and the Haishan Army will set off early tomorrow morning, so ...... Please lead the army to attack immediately, the soldiers are fast, and Xiang Yu can't be given too much time to prepare. ”
"Yes......"
Qin Yi's face was pale, his old body was a little rickety, and there was still a little bit of the momentum of Qin Yi, the capital of the Righteous and National Congress.
The sound of killing and screaming gradually stopped, and the people of 5,000 Yucheng City became sacrifices under the butcher's knife, and for the Blackstone Empire army, which was known for its ferocity and brutality, it was like a common thing, and it was already good that they did not eat people when they had enough food and grass, and the cries of women and the shouts of looting that could be faintly heard everywhere in the city were even more deaf.
The distance between Yucheng and Shangyang City is not more than 100 miles, and even the infantry can reach it after a long-distance attack of a day and a night.
Qin Yi didn't know what the fate of the last troops of the Boxer Kingdom was, but at this moment, he regretted it.
regrets that he shouldn't have killed his brother Qin Jin in the first place, and he shouldn't have divided the world in two.
But there is only one choice, and if you choose, you can't retreat, Qin Yi knows that he and Yiheguo have no way to retreat, so they can only keep moving forward, even if there is a cliff ahead, it is also self-inflicted if they fall to pieces.
……
In the east of Shangyang City, the Blackstone Empire army in Leh City is constantly galloping in the direction of Shangyang City, and the cavalry in the front has been camped less than five miles away from Shangyang City.
Xiang Yu ordered to close the door without a fight and wait for help.
So Fu Yun can only wait, waiting for Lu Yan's army to join forces with him, after all, if he attacks Shangyang City alone, Fu Yun has not been arrogant to this point, and Xiang Yu and the others in the city are not vegetarians, which one is not a person who has been stumbling in the war for nearly ten years in the wind and rain.
At dusk and sunset, the entire Fu Yun camp seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood, the dragon knights had already settled in the camp for the dragon's perch, and outside the camp was an endless stream of materials sent, those were all looted from nearby cities, villages and towns, grain, livestock and even living people, for the Blackstone Army, living people are also a kind of grain and grass, and they are also food and grass that can be moved.
"Report!"
The herald galloped in: "Lord Fu Yun, we have caught a small worker, claiming to be from Lanyan City. ”
"Lan Yan City?"
Fu Yun put down the chopsticks that were eating, and said, "Lanyan City is thousands of miles away, have they already learned about the situation here?"
"The subordinates didn't know, but this little man said that he wanted to see the lord, and brought a very important letter. ”
"Oh, bring it in. ”
"Yes!"
Soon after, a roe deer-headed rat-eyed man who was tied up by a big flower walked in and immediately knelt on the ground: "General...... Don't kill me, general, the villain is here to be a messenger!"
"Messenger?" Fu Yun couldn't help laughing: "There is actually an ugly and cowardly messenger like you in the world? ”
"Wait a minute, General, read the letter!"
"Hmph, bring me the letter!"
Letterhead is a kind of rice paper with a faint fragrance, and many people in the scribe world of Lanyan City will use this kind of rice paper made of special peach wood, but the price is too expensive, so ordinary people can't afford to use it at all.
A few lines of words were densely written on the rice paper, but the title was "Lord in charge of the army of the Black Stone Empire", and the inscription was "General of the Congress Army of the Great Qin Empire".
Fu Yun glanced at it, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu, these people are not good to enjoy happiness in the imperial capital, but why should they cooperate with our Blackstone Empire?"
