Chapter 475 Whose country
Looking at Qi Chuanwu who took off his armor and was defenseless, Song Ying on the city wall was stunned, "There is such a stupid person?"
As the deputy general of Tong Wenshan, Qi Chuanwu's strength must be at least in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, which means that if Qi Chuanwu doesn't care about his army and flees alone, there will be no problem at all.
Before, when Song Ying decided to turn Qi Chuanwu and the others away, he had already made plans in his mind to contact the people in the capital and beat Qi Chuanwu into a rebel, so that he could not turn over. He even planned to send someone to chase Qi Chuanwu. As a result, Qi Chuanwu is now asking for death, which made Song Ying feel very surprised.
"Okay, as long as you don't resist, after you die, I will let your soldiers enter the city."
Song Ying agreed to Qi Chuanwu's conditions at once, and then immediately turned around and ordered, "Shoot the arrow, use the city-breaking crossbow to shoot him to death!"
At this time, the soldiers on the city wall also realized something was wrong, so after hearing Song Ying's order, they were hesitant. One soldier hesitated and said, "Sir, since he has given up resisting, why don't we go down and some people tie him up."
"He is General Guangwei after all. If you attack him, if the court pursues him..."
"Puff~"
Before the soldier could finish his words, Song Ying pulled out a knife and stabbed him to death. Song Ying, whose face was covered with blood, looked at the rest of the people with a cold expression, "This person is Qi Chuanwu's inner response, and intends to collude with Qi Chuanwu and treason for the enemy and seize Jingping Pass."
"Now, who else do you want to treason, stand up!"
Looking at Song Ying, who was covered in blood, as if he was crazy, the rest of the soldiers were silent and did not dare to say a word.
Song Ying looked at the silent soldiers with satisfaction, and then said, "Since you don't want to treason, then shoot arrows to me."
"I might as well tell you that if he doesn't die, you will all die!"
Listening to Song Ying's naked threat, the other soldiers avoided his gaze and then silently shot out the bow and arrow in their hands.
The bows and arrows in the sky were mixed with attacks from the city-breaking crossbow and arc sagittals. Without resisting, Qi Chuanwu instantly shot him like a hedgehog.
Blood kept flowing down his body, but his straight body never fell down. His eyes were staring at the city wall, as if he wanted to see Song Ying fulfill his promise.
Looking at Qi Chuanwu's body, the soldiers on the city wall fell silent. After a while, some soldiers gritted their teeth and asked Song Ying, "Mr. Song, General Qi is dead. Should those soldiers be let into the city?"
"Enter the city? What city does it enter?"
Song Ying glared at the soldier fiercely and scolded him: "Qi Chuanwu treason and surrendered to the enemy, so his soldiers are naturally traitors."
"If you let them in the city, will you be responsible if Jingping Pass loses you?"
The soldier was stunned when he heard this, and then he said angrily: "But didn't you promise General Qi that as long as he died, he would let those soldiers enter the city?"
"If I don't agree, will he die so easily?"
Song Ying snorted coldly, then said, "What credit do you have to tell these treasonians?"
"I tell you, guard the city, and whenever someone dares to approach, shoot and kill immediately."
Song Ying had no intention of letting those soldiers enter the city from the beginning. He just agreed to Qi Chuanwu's words, but he was just lying to him. After all, there were so many soldiers, who knew which one was Qi Chuanwu's confidant and which one was Tong Wenshan's confidant.
If they are allowed to enter the city at that time and they incite mutiny, it will be troublesome.
So the best way is to make them all rebellious and let them all die outside the city.
Hearing Song Ying's words, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help clenching their fists hard, but looking at the guards beside Song Ying, they had to slowly release their fists that were about to cleave.
If you attack your superiors without authorization, it is considered a rebellion. Even if they don’t consider it for themselves, they have to consider it for their families.
Although Song Ying could not guess the thoughts of these soldiers, he could also see their malice towards him. Therefore, he snorted coldly and did not intend to stay on the city wall for too long. However, before leaving, he warned everyone, "Remember, if someone approaches, shoot and kill them immediately, otherwise, I will designate you all as their accomplices."
After saying that, Song Ying stopped staying and turned around and left.
...
"These officials of the Wei Kingdom are such fucking bastards."
Wu Tugen, who was responsible for chasing Qi Chuanwu, was very powerful and looked at what happened under Jingping Pass. Although he could not guess what the two sides had communicated because of the distance, he could also guess that Qi Chuanwu was killed by the neck. Qi Chuanwu should have used his life to make a deal with the officials of Jingping Pass. The purpose of the transaction was nothing more than letting these soldiers in.
Originally, Wutugen was going to follow these soldiers and cover up the killing wave, wanting to see if there was a chance to enter Jingping Pass, but the generals on the city wall didn't count. After the soldiers approached, they actually started firing arrows again.
"Ph, what's the matter."
Wu Tugen spat fiercely. Although he was usually cruel, he had never done anything like a ruthless thing before.
It doesn't count if you kill your own people. If you are on the grassland, the guard must be given a sky lantern by the wolf master.
No wonder the wolf mainly took them across the Black Desert to fight Weiguo. It turned out that Weiguo was all these things, so it was indeed much easier than fighting the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Wutugen directly summoned the wolf guards under his command. Although he had some sympathy for the general who was killed, this did not prevent him from destroying his army.
On the grassland, the greatest respect for the opponent is to completely defeat him, so Wutugen did not hold back at all. While the army was not prepared, he directly led the wolf guards to kill him.
The morale of this army was originally low, and now Qi Chuanwu is dead. The army has no leader. It is the weakest time. At this moment, after Wutugen's attack, the army immediately dispersed.
Some people ran under the city wall in a panic, but they were greeted by the ruthless rain of arrows from the soldiers on the top of the city. Under such double attacks, the army was soon defeated.
A total of 10,000 troops chose to surrender to the barbarians, and the remaining ones were either shot or fled aimlessly in other directions.
Wu Tugen, who had won a great victory, was very happy. When he set out, he didn't expect that he could easily annihilate this army. However, after winning, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
There were too many prisoners, and he had only less than 3,000 people under his command, but there were more than 6,000 of them. If something really happened, his 3,000 people would not be able to suppress them at all.
In addition to the manpower issue, there is another bigger problem, that is, food and grass. These surrendered troops no longer have food and grass, and these pursuers also did not bring much food and grass. If they took them back, they would probably not be able to leave half of them, and these surrendered soldiers would have to rebel because they could not afford to eat.
"What's this called?"
Wu Tugen patted his head with some annoyance. He didn't expect such a result before, so he didn't ask how to solve this situation in Wulianghe. Now he has no idea what to do with these things by himself.
"or……"
Wutugen looked at Jingping Pass not far away and suddenly had an idea in his heart. Since these people could not be taken back, it would be better to let them fight Jingping Pass. Anyway, their previous leaders died at the hands of those in Jingping Pass, so it would be no problem to let them take revenge.
As for whether he can conquer Jingping Pass, Wu Tugen doesn't care. In his opinion, as long as he can kill these 6,000 people in Jingping Pass, it would be great if he could take the opportunity to consume the strength of Jingping Pass.
Thinking of this, Wu Tugen gathered the surrendered soldiers directly.
Wutugen rode on the horse, looked at the surrendered soldiers without any cover, and said straight to the point: "You are too many people, and we don't have enough food and grass. If you just take you back like this, at least half of you will starve to death on the road."
When they heard Wutugen's words, the surrendered soldiers immediately began to riot. Although many people had guessed this fact before, Wutugen said this at this moment, which still made them feel a little frightened. They even thought that in order to solve the food crisis, Wutugen wanted to kill each other until half of them died.
Therefore, some active-minded people have now begun to stare at their comrades beside them with vigilance.
"Quiet!"
Wutugen roared, calmed down the riot scene, and continued to speak, "Now there are two choices in front of you."
"One is to swing the sword at the robes around you. As long as you kill half of the people, you have a certain chance of surviving."
After Wutugen finished speaking, he did not give them time to choose and continued directly: "And the second option is to join me in building this city."
"In the city, there is enough food for you to eat, but there are still countless gold and silver waiting for you to get."
"The most important thing is that they have turned you out and killed your generals."
"Don't you just want to take revenge? Don't you just want to go home? Are you just willing to be a wild dog that is turned away?"
When Wu Tugen said this, his voice became louder and louder, and he was almost roaring, and his words aroused the fighting spirit of these soldiers as expected.
Coercion, temptation, hatred, and such soldiers have no other choice. Unless they are willing to aim their weapons at their comrades beside them, siege is their only choice.
"Send them the weapons."
Looking at these soldiers who were aroused from fighting spirit, Wutugen directly sent back the confiscated weapons to them. Wutugen was not too worried about whether they would rebel. Since he could defeat them once, he could defeat them twice.
Without generals, these soldiers were just a mob and had no thoughts to worry about.
These soldiers did not have much intention to resist. Under the instinct of survival, they built some simple siege ladders at the fastest speed, and then, with the support of the wolf guards, launched a death charge towards Jingping Pass.
Before, they seemed fragile under the attack of the Wolf Guards, but at this moment, under the will to survive and the anger of revenge, they were all fearless and fearless. With these simple siege equipment in their hands, they and the Wolf Guards rushed to the top of the city several times and almost directly captured Jingping Pass.
"These barbarians actually dare to attack the city."
When Song Ying received the news, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he looked at the soldiers fighting on the city wall and the wolf guards supervising the battle under the city. He had only a few thousand barbarians, just a small army, so they dared to attack the city, and they almost captured it. If the barbarian army came, can the city be preserved?
Thinking of this, Song Ying felt a little scared. He called out his guard directly, and then whispered: "Go, pack up your greetings, and we will return to Beijing immediately."
"Return...return to Beijing?"
The guard was also stunned. He never expected that the first thing that Song Ying thought of at this moment was to escape in the last battle. He asked in disbelief: "Sir, what should you do if you leave?"
"This museum is not the garrison of Jingping Pass, I'm not in this city."
Song Ying said without any hesitation: "Tong Wenshan was defeated, Qi Chuanwu treason and surrendered to the enemy. As the envoy of the government, the top priority is to pass the news back to the capital as soon as possible. As for the rest, what does it have to do with me?"
After saying that, Song Ying did not hesitate at all and took the people back to the mansion. Then, while the fierce battle on the city was in full swing, he took the property he had plundered these days and directly escaped from the city.
After he left, the city wall was lost without the commander and fell into chaos, especially after discovering that Song Ying had escaped in the battle, the soldiers collapsed even faster. It was not long before the city wall was attacked by Wu Tugen.
After the city was broken, the soldiers of Jingping Pass rescued Han Wenzhong who was under house arrest. When they learned that the situation was hopeless, Han Wenzhong did not fight hard and took the remaining soldiers of Jingping Pass to withdraw from Jingping Pass.
At this point, Jingping Pass was completely fell, and the Wei Kingdom was basically out of defense for the barbarians.
...
In the capital of Weiguo, as Song Ying fled back, he forced the information to suppress for more than a month, and at this time it finally reached the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
"The barbarians are powerful and seem to have come out in full swing and continue reinforcements."
"I will lead the troops to nail the barbarians to death in Longbei County, and I hope to send reinforcements."
"Food food, hurry up..."
“…”
Zuo Xiangtan Kong Mingshu's table was filled with information sent by Tong Wenshan more than a month ago, while he sat in the study room with a little blank expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Tan Kongming picked up the last latest information, which was sent to him by Han Wenzhong. It said that Tong Wenshan was suspected to be defeated due to a shortage of food and grass. Qi Chuanwu led his troops to retreat to Jingping Pass, but was framed by Song Ying and forced to death outside Jingping Pass.
As for Jingping Pass, Song Ying escaped at the last battle, he has now lost his position.
"Treason, treason..."
Zuo Xiang muttered these two words blankly, and a line of hot tears rolled down his wrinkled cheeks, "Whose country is this?"
"Whose country is this!!!"
Zuo Xiang was in the room and used all his strength to let out this roar, the sound was like a wounded beast.
Desolate, and helpless...
