Chapter 35: Changes in the City
"Boss, why did you change a suit of armor today?" A group of troops on alert, said one of the soldiers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The general, known as the "chief", stroked his pale beard and said with a smile: "How is it? This suit of armor is good, right? ”
The soldiers around him are all waiting to meet the praise: the general should be strong, majestic, and vigorous.
This army, which was on guard, was not near the city walls, but surrounded by a military camp inside the city.
"General, please forgive your subordinates for making their own decisions." The prince said with a grim face, still kneeling on the ground and not getting up.
Qu Zhou walked up to Wang Zijiang, patted his shoulder wearing heavy armor with his hand and smiled: "Just your little trick, will I still not know?" I have already ordered the fourth team of the standing army to surround your seventh team, and Yan Hong will not let a fly out without my order. ”
After hearing Qu Zhou's words, Wang Zijiang's heart thumped, and he was completely chilled.
The seventh team of the standing army is composed of elites selected from ordinary people's homes, and the team is full of Xiliang nationals from poor backgrounds, and the prince general is no exception, so the sergeants of the seventh team listen to the prince general more than Qu Zhou, because of the close identity, and Qu Zhou also opens one eye and closes one eye, and has the intention to let the prince establish prestige in the army.
However, the prince knew that after today, the sergeants of the seventh team would definitely make an uproar, and the relatives of the seventh team were all outside the imperial city......
Tianyinke stood beside Cao Zhuo and whispered, "Brother Cao, it's not a way to go on like this. ”
"Of course I know that the people in the city are already iron-hearted, and they want to see all the people outside die, and if no one answers, then the two of us will have to choose a way to die." Cao Zhuo said with some frustration.
One: fell into the cold water river and froze to death; Two: Died by molten slurry.
Everyone knows that even if you cross the moat, you can't go up to the city wall, and even if the soldiers in the city are decorations, there are no ladders and other things to climb the city at this time; Light work? The whole wall is slippery, and sooner or later it will fall down if there is no place to settle down.
On the other side, the Porcupine King was digging the city wall under his command, and finally had some harvest and opened the city wall, but the entrance of this city hole could only let the Porcupine pass through, and the huge body of the Porcupine King could not drill through at all.
Digging the hole, the arrowhead pig you scramble to drill to the hole, but the hole is too small, can only allow one by one, at this time there are two crowded together to block the hole, and no one let anyone pass first, still desperately squeezing out, the whole hole is blocked.
The Porcupine King is also under his command to slow down the arrival of the molten lava; After discovering the situation on this side of the city cave, the whole pig's face was twitching, and he walked to the city cave to disperse the other arrow pigs, and roared directly at the entrance of the hole blocked by the two arrow pigs.
The entrance to the cave of the city did not collapse because of the roar of the porcupine king, but the two archery pigs turned into a curtain of blood, dyeing the entrance of the cave red.
The Porcupine King said with a blue face: "Captain of the guard, watch them pass by one by one, and if such a situation happens, they will be killed on the spot, along with you." ”
A Arrowhog Captain hurriedly responded.
The Porcupine King continued, "Those who go out dig the walls in the same place as the outside, and if they go out and escape alone regardless of the safety of their kindred, they will be crippled worse than dead if they are caught by me." King Porcupine's red eyes full of anger swept over the more than 10,000 Arrowhogs present, and suddenly all the Porcupine Pigs present had a cold war.
Kill......
Suddenly, there was a shout of killing in the city, and Qu Zhou and the prince general in the city had their own expressions on their faces.
Qu Zhou's face was full of surprise and ordered his men to go down to investigate the situation and see what was going on.
But Wang Zijiang was happy, this voice was too familiar when he usually led the team to train, and said to Qu Zhou: "My seventh team is here, it seems that General Yan didn't watch it." ”
Qu Zhou gritted his teeth with a face full of surprise and said: "Impossible, I know best what Yan Hong's ability is, but he was taught by me, if it weren't for the fact that he was a foreigner, he would be the second in the ranks of military generals." ”
"Report." The people who went down quickly rushed up to report: "General, General Yan led the fourth and seventh teams to rush to kill the city gate guards, and more than 100 soldiers guarding the city gate have all been guarded at the city gate, and the situation is very critical. After saying that, he glanced at the prince who was kneeling beside him.
The prince will watch this soldier come back and report back, and his heart is even more happy, with Yan Hong, the old general, leading, the other teams of the standing army dare not move at all, but seeing that the soldier suddenly made a look at himself, he felt that things didn't seem right?
Qu Zhou's face turned blue with anger, and he scolded Yan Hong: "Old horseman, old horseman, angry with me, you immediately take my military order, and order the first, second, fifth, and sixth to encircle and suppress them." ”
"General, who are they referring to?" The soldier looked at Qu Zhou and asked puzzled.
After Qu Zhou saw the soldier's face, he staggered back a few steps, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and he pulled out his sword and slashed at the kneeling soldier: "Dare to delay time and delay the military aircraft." ”
But the soldier knelt on the spot and resolutely did not move, with a relaxed and natural smile on his face, as if he had done something very remarkable.
Seeing this, the prince also drew his sword and wanted to save the life of this soldier who was not afraid of life and death, but he was restrained by the guards of the generals around him.
Just as the head of this soldier, whose name no one knew what his name was, fell from the drawbridge of the city gate, and with a babbling bang, the city gate was opened.
In the barracks, news had spread outside the city, and the sergeants of the seventh team were anxious, and there were still their relatives outside the city; Wang Zifeng, the deputy general of the seventh team, the younger brother of Wang Zijiang;
As early as when the prince was going to see Qu Zhou, the prince would specially explain that if he did not come back within a pillar of incense, he would immediately rush to the city gate with the seventh team, and if the city gate was not opened, then the city gate would be knocked down.
But not long after the prince left, General Yan of the fourth team surrounded the camp of the seventh team with his sergeants.
Wang Zifeng knew that things were not good, many soldiers in the army were very afraid of Yan Hong, although Yan Hong did not have any status in the ranks of military generals, but his prestige and reputation were only below the general Qu Zhou, and his fourth team was strictly disciplined and well-trained, and it was the only team in the standing army that could compete with the first team directly under the general.
The time of a pillar of incense passed in the anxiety of Wang Zifeng, and only a dozen or so of the sergeants gathered dared to follow him to rush to the fourth team's town guard pass, but for some reason, the fourth team guarding the exit of the seventh team's camp suddenly withdrew; Wang Zifeng knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and immediately ordered all the sergeants of the seventh team to rush to the city gate.
Without the moderation of the fourth team, the sergeant of the seventh team was also relieved.
"General, just let them out like this, aren't you afraid that the general will blame them?"
Things outside the city, I don't know why they are also spreading in the fourth team.
Yan Hong shook his head and said, "They are going to save their relatives, do you think I can stop them?" ”
More than a dozen sergeants beside Yan Hong suddenly heard the word "relatives", and their bodies were shocked.
A sergeant trembled and knelt on the ground and said, "General, my father and mother are still outside the city, I want to go and see." ”
One after another, others also knelt down, pleading with Yan Hong.
"It's already a big crime for me to let the seventh team out......" Before Yan Hong finished speaking, a sergeant kneeling below preemptively said: "General rest assured, all the blame will be borne by a few of us, and letting go of the seventh team is our own poor supervision, and it is not the general's business." ”
Yan Hong laughed with satisfaction and said: "I can let them out, and I can also let you go, but don't forget, all the brothers of our fourth team are like flesh and blood, and your relatives are like our relatives, if you want to save them, you have to let our fourth team go together." ”
A few sergeants beside Yan Hong who did not kneel also agreed.
The fourth team suddenly turned the gun around without any defense, killing Qu Zhou by surprise.
Wang Zifeng saw that Yan Hong actually led the fourth team to help, and he was even more happy to directly put the seventh team under Yan Hong's command; Yan Hong's prestige in the army is indeed very high, after the army and the standing army patrolling the city saw it, they did not dare to come forward to inquire or block, if Wang Zifeng led the seventh team to march in the city in a hurry, it would have been intercepted by other standing armies and defenders in the city.
During the period of vigilance, without the order of the general or the king of Gaochang, any army that did not participate in the defense must remain in their own barracks, and once they leave, the troops patrolling the guard can be regarded as a rebellion and killed on the spot.
Just when Yan Hong led people to rush and kill the defenders of the city gate, the four standing armies on both sides turned a blind eye to this situation.
The soldiers who came down to investigate the city also watched the defenders of the city gate be killed on the side, and then hurriedly returned to the city to return to the general Qu Zhou. If it weren't for this soldier, if he was selfish, he would have gone back early to tell him, and now that the four standing armies under the city have already intervened, whether the city gate will fall into the hands of Yan Hong is another matter.
If you see that your relatives are about to die in front of you, whoever has the ability will save them, and this soldier is no exception.
Watching the drawbridge be lowered and the gates opened; The people outside the city were overjoyed and ran into the city.
Tianyinke and Cao Zhuo were also overjoyed, and they also rushed into the city in the crowd.
However, some people still found that Cao Zhuo was special.
The sergeant in the city found a man in armor in the crowd and followed him into the city, thinking that it must be the general who was afraid of death.
Qu Zhou looked at the people who had poured into the city and lost their minds.
The prince was unarmed before he struggled and said to Qu Zhou: "General, at this time, when you are officially proclaimed that you are both benevolent and virtuous, and sympathetic to the people's feelings, the current king's virtue is bad, and you are the emperor's uncle, general......"
"Don't talk about it." Qu Zhou roared.
If you can, why don't you want to? But as long as Xiliang Yuxi is in his hands for a day, he will always surrender to him. The jade seal can mentally control the members of the royal family, otherwise how could he let himself be a general with the personality of King Gaochang? And installed so many members of the royal family to hold important positions in the court?
