Chapter 277 277.Flag of the Qi State
"A homogeneous word?" Uesugi said to himself, thinking that this was the banner of the Daimyo.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a big name that used Qi characters as a badge......
The national emblem of Qi is not a Qi character, but the Qi army uses Qi as the military flag when attacking, which is to tell people that this is the flag of Qi State.
The national emblem of Qi is actually a white flag and black snowflakes......
Generally, when the Qi State attacks, only the position of the commander will have such a banner, and the only flag that the rest of the generals can use is the Qi flag.
After Zhou Baotong stationed the army here, he was not marching, he meant that he was taking root, and he was not in a hurry to march.
Although Zhou Baotong meant to sweep the entire Dongyi Island Country, he had to be prepared to sweep.
Following.
Uesugi Shin led the army to the front of Zhou Baotong's army.
Of the 20,000 elite soldiers led by Zhou Baotong, only 2,000 belonged to the Xuzhou Legion, and the rest were all navy.
Originally, Wang Yi didn't even want to give Zhou Baotong 2,000 troops, but Zhou Baotong just had a navy, no army, and fought on land, so he was afraid that Zhou Baotong would be completely annihilated.
Therefore, Wang Yicai gave Zhou Baotong's army of 2,000 men to help Zhou Baotong's navy fight on land.
and also equipped Zhou Baotong with a strategist named 'Liu Xing'.
Liu Xing helped Zhou Baotong set up a regular quadrangle, and at this time, Zhou Baotong sat on a Taishi chair and looked at Uesugi Shin in the distance.
Uesugi Nobu rode a white horse: "I am the patriarch of the Uesugi family, who is Your Excellency 'Uesugi Shin', and why did you come to invade my Uesugi family?" ”
A rape translated to Zhou Baotong in Dongyi Island, but Zhou Baotong did not reply to Uesugi Shin.
Instead, he asked a person to shoot an arrow at Uesugi Shin, who saw the arrow rushing towards him, he didn't react at all, and then the arrow fell directly to the ground, and the arrow was directly inserted into his head.
Zhou Baotong was born as a thief, he didn't talk about any demeanor, he heard that the name of the newspaper was the patriarch, and the thief was the king of Qinqin, so Zhou Baotong killed Uesugi Shin with an arrow.
Poor Uesugi Shin was directly killed by someone so aggrieved, and the Uesugi family saw that the patriarch was dead, and suddenly became chaotic, and Zhou Baotong immediately ordered an attack.
Such a surprise quickly defeated the main force of the Uesugi family, and this high-ranking daimyo in the Dongyi Island Country was defeated in two days under the attack of Zhou Baotong.
In the morning, the two sides fought, and in the afternoon Zhou Baotong's army surrounded the capital of the Uesugi family, which was called Yuecheng and a place in the Qi country.
This is the largest place of the Uesugi family, Zhou Baotong's 20,000 elite soldiers marched into the Uesugi family, after this battle, Zhou Baotong's army became more than 23,000 people, and he incorporated some of the people who took refuge.
After Yuecheng was besieged, the Uesugi family exploded at this time, and no one could have imagined that Uesugi Shin, a generation of talents of the Uesugi family, would be killed in such a suffocated manner.
A man named Uesugi Kiyoshi shouted, "We will avenge the Patriarch of Uesugi Shin, fight to the death with the enemy, and gamble on the reputation of our Uesugi family!" ”
At this time, an older person looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi: "Are you going to fight to the death?" ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly shrunk his neck, this is said to be a battle to the death, in fact, it is to send to death, when they fought yesterday, they thought that the other party was a few thousand people, and in today's battle, they completely recognized that the number of the other party was above 10,000 people.
The total number of troops assembled by their Uesugi family was only 10,000, and after the defeat of the two major wars, the Uesugi family had long since lost so many people.
"I think we should now nominate a new patriarch to make peace with each other!" Uesugi said to everyone.
Uesugi Gui is the old man just now, he feels that fighting to the death with the other party is to send death, rather than sending death, it is better to surrender and protect the Uesugi family.
It is said that it is a peace, but in fact it is a surrender, and the alliance under the city is basically a surrender......
Everyone has hit your city, are you still qualified to negotiate terms with others? What else can be done but surrender?
Unless you have the capital to consume with others, but the Uesugi family obviously does not have the capital to consume with Zhou Baotong's Qi army.
Uesugi believed that as long as the other party ordered the siege, this Yuecheng would not be able to hold it for even an hour.
Therefore, Uesugi Guiju's surrender is the most correct choice.
"Surrender? I, the Uesugi family, have failed since the founding of the country, but I have never succumbed to the enemy! Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Uesugi and said.
At this time, Zhou Baotong, who was outside at this time, looked at a friendly traitor next to him and said: "You go to their city to deliver a letter, just say that I will only give you three hours to think, if they don't surrender, I will attack the city, the day the city is broken, I will let them all become slaves, and all the men will be killed!" ”
This rape was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Baotong: "General, this ......" He obviously didn't dare to send this letter, he was afraid that he would go and never come back.
But Zhou Baotong didn't care about this: "You don't dare to go? ”
This rape gritted his teeth and said, "General, I'll go!" "There may be a glimmer of life if you go, if you refuse, Zhou Baotong will definitely be killed.
He weighed it and chose to go, of course, there was another reason, that is, the two armies were fighting without fighting.
As an emissary, your Uesugi clan is a very prestigious clan, and if you kill me, I'm afraid your reputation will be greatly reduced at that time.
Kazutome arrives at the Uesugi family's headquarters.
This rape is very tough, of course, it's just pretending, if it's really tough, how can he surrender to Zhou Baotong, and become Zhou Baotong's translator and messenger?
"General Zhou, the vanguard general of the Qi country, 'Zhou Baotong', asked me to pass on a message to you, and give you three hours to consider, if you don't surrender, my Qi army will attack the city, and on the day the city is broken, the women will be slaved and the men will be killed!" And the traitor said to the people.
"Qi Jun?" The Uesugi family was stunned, thinking about the Qi army, where did this army come from.
After thinking for a long time, the high-ranking members of the Uesugi family couldn't figure out where the army was, and at this time a young man walked out: "Qi army, I'm afraid it's the army of the Western Empire!" ”
"The Western Empire?" As soon as the young man said this, it occurred to them that there was a huge empire in the West.
The people of the Uesugi family have actually been in contact with maritime merchants, and they all know that there is a huge empire in the West, but when the Qi army first invaded, they could not have imagined that it was the invasion of the huge empire in the West.
Hearing this, Uesugi Gui hurriedly said: "You have also heard that our enemies are not those daimyos, but a huge empire, do you think that our Uesugi family has the strength to fight?" ”
The Uesugi family heard the legend of the Zhou Empire, which said that they controlled the entire continent in the west, and were courtiers beyond the four seas, and the head of the empire was located in the center of the continent and was called 'Emperor'!
At this time, those hardliners also fell silent, if the other party is really that huge empire, they are fighting, basically killing themselves. Imperial power struggle
