I’m The King Chapter 1011: : East to West (4)


Shang Kexi looked at Feng Fayong's head hanging on the high flagpole in the distance, although bloodstained, but his eyes were still wide open, Shang Kexi felt that those eyes were still staring at him, he He took off his helmet and knelt down on one knee. As he knelt down, the armor leaves on the city wall rang together, and thousands of soldiers knelt down.

Feng Fayong has been stationed in Shannan County for more than six years. It can be said that this Shannan County soldier was built by him alone, and the people of Shannan County are well taken care of by him. In Shannan County, he has great prestige. Right now, he died in a heroic battle, and his body was separated, not even the whole body was left. The eyes of all the Han soldiers on the city wall were full of anger, and the sound of heavy breathing was clearly audible.

With a bang, Shang Kexi stood up, "Who has the courage to go out of the city and send a few words to Wang Xiao for me?" He looked at the many officers behind him.

With a clatter, more than a dozen officers stood up.

Qian Kezhuang looked left and right with one eye, pulled his hands together, pushed the others behind him, and took another big step forward, "General Shang, I'll go."

"I am the general of Shannan Battalion, how can I leave my post without permission?" Shang Kexi shook his head and said.

"General Shang, I used to be a sentry commander in the army. When I arrived in Shannan County, Feng Jianguo respected me and asked me to be in charge of the reserve. , to teach the brothers in the reserves, let me command, I really don’t have the ability to command thousands of brothers, and the other brothers here are much better than me in commanding operations. Don't worry, besides, I may not die!" Qian Kezhuang laughed.

Shang Kexi stared at him deeply, "Okay, you go, be careful yourself."

Qian Kezhuang cupped his fists and bowed to everyone in the city, "Brothers, guard the city, I'm going to make a name for myself today, hahaha!"

A radish basket slid down from the city on a long rope, Qian Kezhuang got out of the radish basket, straightened his armor, and strode towards the Qin army array in the distance.

Walking under the flagpole, Qian Kezhuang raised his head and looked up at Feng Fayong's head above the flagpole. A drop of blood dripped down and landed on Qian Kezhuang's face. He reached out and wiped the drop of blood into his own face. In his mouth, he roared loudly: "General Feng, the blood is still hot."

He knelt down on the flagpole, knocked his head three times, stood up, and strode away to meet the Qin soldiers who were walking in front.

Wang Xiao looked at the Han general who was blind in one eye, and looked at his clothes, he was actually a battalion general.

"Did Shang Kexi send you here to beg for surrender?" Wang Xiao said coldly.

Qian Kezhuang smiled, looked up at the sky, looked at the sky for a while, and said in a suspicious way: "Hey, tomorrow is already bright, why are you still dreaming?"

"Bold!"

"Irreverent!"

The voices of general Qin angrily rebuke all around.

Qian Kezhuang raised his head high, his eyes squinted at the sky, and sneered silently.

As soon as Wang Xiao raised his hand, the noise around him immediately quieted down.

"Since you didn't come here to ask for surrender, what did Shang Kexi ask you to bring?" Wang Xiao asked.

"General Shang asked me to tell a story to you, General Wang Xiao!" Qian Kezhuang said loudly.

"Oh?" Wang Xiao leaned forward, "I didn't expect Shang Kexi to be so elegant? I don't know what story to tell me? I really want to listen carefully."

"I don't know if General Wang Xiao has heard of the Liaoning defense battle between my big man and Donghu a few years ago?" Qian Kezhuang said with a smile, "I participated in this battle there back then. The Donghu man shot blind in one eye, so he retired to Shannan County.”

"Are you retired?" Wang Xiao looked suspiciously at the battalion general on the other side.

"That's right, I'm retired, but now I'm a battalion commander of Shannan County's reserve army!" Qian Kezhuang said proudly: "When the farming is busy, the fields are cultivated, and when the farming is slack, the training is for the reserve army."

Wang Xiao nodded: "I've heard it before! Tell your story!"

"Back then in the Liaoning Guard, the Donghu people captured more than a hundred of our Han soldiers, and they hanged all of the hundred Han soldiers outside the Liaoning Guard in order to attack our guards. The city's confidence, General Wang Xiao, do you know what happened next?"

Wang Xiao snorted, and glanced at Feng Fayong's head hanging high above the flagpole in the distance, "It's nothing more than you defending the Liaoning Guards and defeating the Donghu people. This is a well-known fact in the world, but Is my great Qin comparable to the barbarians of the Eastern Hu?"

Qian Kezhuang laughed loudly: "That's not the point. The point is that General Meng Chong, who was guarding the city at that time, swore in front of the battle that he would hang all the Yuwen family and the Kirgiz family who killed my Han army prisoners under the Liaoning Acropolis. , the king of Han even affirmed Commander Meng Chong’s oath in the form of a king’s order. Later, we defeated the Donghu people, the Yuwen family, and the Kirgiz family, and none of them escaped. The place where our brothers were hanged."

Wang Xiao's eyes and pupils contracted, and general Qin breathed in all around.

"General Shang asked me to speak to General Wang Xiao. He will imitate Commander Meng Chong and swear before the battle that he will cut off the heads of everyone in your Wang Xiao family and hang them outside the city of Shannan County. General Feng's condolences!" Qian Kezhuang laughed loudly. "My big Han army never makes oaths lightly, but once the oath is made, hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers will keep it. Wang Xiao, you just wait!"

With a bang, Wang Jian couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward, kicked Qian Kezhuang to the ground, and drew out his knife with a choking sound, "Father, kill this thief." /

Wang Xiao's murderous look must be revealed on his face, and his upper body leaned forward, "I want to see if I hang Shang Kexi's head on this flagpole first, or if he chops off my head in the future, I don't care." Kill you, go back and tell Shang Kexi, wash your neck, I will let him and Feng Fayong be companions soon."

"You won't kill me?" Qian Kezhuang stood up, patted the dirt on his body slowly, and cupped his hands, "Thank you very much, I will chop a few more on the top of the wall later Qin Jun's head, to thank you for your kindness. Haha, hahaha!"

He turned around and walked away.

On the closed wall, the sound of war drums was beating slowly, and thousands of soldiers, led by Shang Kexi, began to recite the oath with the accompaniment of the drums.

"I swear in the name of the master of the Great Han Dynasty, that I will kill all the members of Wang Xiaoju's family, and leave no bones behind."

Thousands of voices gathered together, rolling in from a distance, Wang Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore, he jumped up against the table, and shouted angrily: "Siege the city!"

Daijun, Xiling City, He Lanxiong stepped on the horse, at the gate of the city, officials headed by Daijun Sheriff Zhao Yong, Daijun Sima He Tianju, Daijun Guardian General Qin Lei are seeing He Lanxiong off.

He Lanxiong bowed his hands at the crowd, and said, "Everyone, the Qin army has aggressively attacked Shannan County. It seems that the war between us and the people of Qin has broken out ahead of schedule. This time, our Eastern Group Army is going all out to help Shannan County. This matter of logistics, I'm counting on you guys."

"Commander, don't worry, we, on behalf of the county, will definitely do our best to make the Eastern Field Army no worries." Zhao Yong said.

He Lanxiong nodded, "General Qin Lei, this time I took away half of Daijun's soldiers, so you have to worry more about Daijun's military affairs. Although Zhao Guo has suffered a lot this time, they still don't care about Daijun's military affairs. The ambition has never been abandoned, and I just want to take Dai Commandery back to the Zhao Kingdom, so this Nanzhang must be careful, and don't give the opponent any opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I will understand at the end."

"Master He Tianju!" He Lanxiong looked at He Tianju again. This is the first official sent by the Han Kingdom to Dai Commandery, and he is also a powerful figure in Dai Commandery.

"The reserve force of Dai County must be mobilized as soon as possible. Qin is a great country in the world. If we go to war with it, we must make preparations for the whole people to fight against it. Right now, the kingdom's focus is still on the affairs of Qi. For the time being, I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize a large number of troops to support us, and the state of Chu is ready to move. In the early stage of the war, I'm afraid we will have to support ourselves for a while."

"Commander, don't worry, it's easy to save. The regulations have been drafted last night, and today they have been sent to all prefectures and counties in Dai County. The reserve force has already begun to mobilize. Fortunately, the spring plowing is over now, and it will not hinder the farming season. !"

"My lords, the Han Kingdom has reached the most critical moment. As long as we win the battle with Qin, the world will belong to my Han." He Lanxiong laughed loudly, holding his horse Belly, "Let's go!"

The war horse neighed long, hooved lightly, and galloped away.

Since receiving the emergency document from Shannan County City, the infantry of the Eastern Field Army under the leadership of Yan Haibo has already set off first, and He Lanxiong led the cavalry to set off after arranging the corresponding matters. With the strength of his feet, he can catch up with Yan Haibo's pawns in a few days.

The 60,000 troops of the Eastern Group Army set off from Dai County, and rushed all the way to Shannan County day and night.

The battle in Shannan County has been going on for the sixth day, and the flag of the Han army is still flying above the county town. There is no shortage of food and grass, and it is a fortress that cannot be captured. Now there are 10,000 well-trained Han troops in Shannan County, and there are more than 2,000 reserve soldiers and Shannan County people who do not want to leave. The incessant Qin army was helpless, the casualties of both sides were increasing by a terrifying number every day, compared with the defending side, the attacking side suffered greater losses.

There were not many nail racks standing in the city, and most of the remaining ones were dilapidated. They were destroyed by the enemy's bed crossbows and stone cannons. The ground was piled up several feet, and Shang Kexi had intentionally asked Qin Jun to keep these corpses away, but Wang Xiao didn't believe it at all. After a few days, the stench of corpses wafted in the wind, and the smell was unpleasant.

Qian Kezhuang was sitting on a bed, entangled like a mummy, shaking his head, "Wang Xiao, the son of a bitch, is so cruel to his own people. General Shang, set it on fire, it smells too bad." (To be continued)
