Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 215: : Drink poison to quench thirst
Dongzhou's troops were exhausted by boats and vehicles. After entering the city, they closed the city gate of Xinxiang County.
No soldier from Xinxiang County is allowed to enter the city until all Dongzhou people have withdrawn. After all, safety comes first.
The soldiers in Xinxiang County are also very self-aware. Under the leadership of Zhang Qiang, they are very good at avoiding suspicion.
They were stationed five miles away from Xinxiang County. They were completely undefended. There was no one on guard at night, and there was no vigilance at all. Everyone sleeps defenseless in the tent. Say sleep and sleep.
This is also for the Dongzhou people to see. The superficial attitude is: We are stationed outside the city overnight. In order to prove that we are sincerely surrendering, our troops are so loose that there are no guards on duty at night...
The night passed like this.
Too many things happened during this night.
Hebi County broke the city in three minutes. This shocking news was spread to all parts of Kyushu by the forces lurking in Hebi County.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Qiang, who was half asleep and half awake, also received the news from the spies in front: "Princess, the situation in Hebi County has been investigated clearly."
Zhang Qiang's expression tightened: "Speak quickly."
"After a few days of stalemate between Dongzhou troops and Hebi County, Li Zhen suddenly said, 'I'll give you five hours to either open the city gate, or level Hebi County.'."
"Then, Hebi County was indeed leveled." Zhang Qiang sighed, "If Hebi County isn't destroyed, how can we get to Xinxiang County?"
The spy took a deep breath: "Then when the time came to five hours, Li Zhen gave the order to destroy the city. Jiang Tian, the princess of Hebi County, resisted desperately, saying that the reinforcements sent by us are coming soon, let everyone Persist in resisting. But... the equipment of the Dongzhou troops is really against the sky. I don't know what they did. It was a round of salvo, and the gate of Hebi County was directly blown out of a trough more than 40 meters wide... ..."
"What!" Zhang Qiang gasped.
Slot?
A trough more than forty meters wide? What a concept. What kind of destructive weapon is this.
"Then the entire city tower collapsed. It was just a round of salvo, Hebi County broke the city, and the city wall of Hebi County became a ruin in an instant. The whole process took less than three minutes, and the city was broken in three minutes."
"What!"
Zhang Tian jumped up in shock and took a breath: "The city will be destroyed in three minutes?"
"It may be less than three minutes. The city tower in Hebi County was destroyed in an instant. In the third minute, all the soldiers in the city went out of the city and surrendered. Therefore, the city was broken in three minutes. Strictly speaking, it should be... broken in an instant city."
"What about Jiang Tian?"
"Because Jiang Tian had resisted before and then surrendered. So after breaking the city, Li Zhen beheaded Jiang Tian directly and did not stay in Hebi County. After breaking the city, he left, but before leaving, he killed all the officials in Hebi County. Killed. Thousands of soldiers in the entire Hebi County were scattered, and no one dared to lead the team. Now it’s time to disperse, and it’s time to run.”
Zhang Qiang narrowed his eyes: "Have all the officials beheaded?"
"Yes. As long as it is an official with some power and prestige, kill them all."
"Okay, I see."
“…”
After the spies left, Zhang Qiang was dripping with cold sweat, as if he had just taken a bath. With a keen mind, he instantly analyzed the significance of Li Chen's actions. Sure enough, Li Zhen didn't bother to occupy the territory at all, he just wanted to enter the Eight Dragon City. If you don't give way, you will die, and those who give way are easy to talk about.
I am living well now, and I haven't killed myself, which shows a big problem.
"Then Dean Li, why are you in such a hurry to enter the Eight Dragons City? Could it be that you really want to directly control the center of the court? You don't even bother to fight a little bit of territory, and you are directly approaching the center? But... it's not like Ah, he doesn't seem to have much desire for power, it's dispensable. Even if he kills the emperor, I'm afraid I can't believe that he wants to replace him."
Zhang Qiang is very accurate in seeing people, and he can tell that Li Zhen has no intention of imperial power at all. Not a man of heaven.
What was even more shocking in my heart was the strength of the Dongzhou troops, which broke through the city in three minutes. What kind of concept is this. Hebi County is the largest fortress of the imperial court today. All the towers are made of concrete. Is it so easy to break?
Is that right, there is no problem for this force to directly enter the Eight Dragon City?
Not only did Zhang Qiang get the news, but all forces got the news.
Early in the morning, the court finally got the news.
A fast horse rushed towards Eight Dragon City like crazy.
"Report! Report!"
"Quickly open the door, it's urgent! Report!"
“…”
With a stern shout, the people in Eight Dragon City were woken up.
The palace gate opened, and the soldier rode straight to the gate of the Golden Luan Hall, looking at the emperor on the dragon chair, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. He staggered in: "Report, it's urgent!"
Xun Jiayuan's eyelids twitched: "Say!"
"Li Zhen declared war on the imperial court. Last night, Dongzhou and the imperial court went to war. They broke Hebi County in three minutes and beheaded all the officials in Hebi County. They didn't stay in Hebi County. They passed Hebi County and went directly to Xinxiang County. Xinxiang County Probably also lost."
"What!"
Everyone was shocked.
Xun Jiayuan stood up directly from the dragon chair and roared in horror: "Is this true?"
"It's true."
‘Wow——’
The entire imperial court exploded in an instant, turning into a mess.
"I have said long ago that Dongzhou Li Zhen is ambitious. Talking about business is fake, but seizing the Eight Dragon City is real."
"Fortunately, he was not allowed to drive straight into the Eight Dragon City that day, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Sure enough, Li Zhen also intends to compete in the world. This wolf is ambitious."
"Son of Heaven, hurry up and send troops to intercept. If you don't block the Dongzhou people, you will really let him enter the Eight Dragon City."
“…”
Xun Jiayuan took a few deep breaths, and immediately waved his hand: "Ma Junqi, you immediately lead 40,000 imperial troops to Xinxiang County. Be sure to intercept Li Zhenren's horse."
"Yes!"
"Lin Shangyuan."
"In."
"I'm asking you to summon the troops from Central Province, gather all of them in Eight Dragon City, and prepare for the worst."
"Yes!"
"Order all the counties along the way to strictly guard against death. Fight to the death, and we must not let Li Zhen enter the Eight Dragon City."
"Yes!"
After the orders were passed out, Xun Jiayuan's whole body trembled. He had a premonition that his country was about to perish...
How far is Xinxiang County from Eight Dragon City?
If you march in a hurry, you can reach ~IndoMTL.com in a day and a half~ From the break of Hebi County last night, to the early morning today, when the scouts returned to Beijing to report, it can be seen that the distance is really close.
Silently returning to his bedroom, Xun Jiayuan's eyes were full of remorse, he knew that his country was destroyed in his own hands. The dream of the universe has not been realized, the country is about to be lost, the sesame seeds are picked up and the watermelons are lost. The problem is, I didn't even pick up sesame...
"Come here."
"In."
"Give this letter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
"Yes!"
An hour later, the Chancellor of the Exchequer received a secret letter, which was only a few words short - an additional printing of 10 million Kyushu coins.
Hiss——
The Minister of Finance sucked in a breath of air. From this moment, he had a premonition that Kyushu was dead. ) Download Free Reader!!
