Chapter 1011: Success in the East and Success in the West (IV)
Shang Kexi looked at Feng Fayong's head hanging on the high flagpole in the distance. Although it was stained with blood, his eyes were still wide open. Shang Kexi felt that those eyes were still staring at him, so he took off the head. Helmet, he knelt down on one knee. As he knelt down, the armor leaves on the city wall roared 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 army was built by him, and the people of Shannan County are well taken care of by him. In Shannan County, his prestige is extremely high, and he is currently fighting bravely. After death, the bodies were separated, and not even the whole body was left. The eyes of all the Han soldiers on the city wall showed blazing anger, and the sound of heavy breathing could be clearly heard.
With a bang, Shang Kexi stood up, "Who has the courage to leave the city and send a few words to Wang Xiao for me?" He looked at the many officers behind him.
With a crash, a dozen officers stood up.
Qian Kezhuang looked left and right with one eye, then pulled with both hands, pulling the others behind him, and took a big step forward, "General Shang, I'll go."
"I am the commander of Shannan Camp, how can I leave my post without permission?" Shang Ke shook his head happily.
"General Shang, I used to be just a sentry commander in the army. When I arrived in Shannan County, General Feng asked me to take charge of the reserves. In fact, I can only lead everyone to train and teach everything I learned in the army. Brothers in the reserve force, if you really ask me to take 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. I can rest assured that Shannan Camp is handed over to them. Besides, , I may not die!" Qian Kezhuang said with a smile.
Shang Kexi looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, go ahead and be careful."
Qian Kezhuang clasped his fists and bowed to everyone in the city, "Brothers, guard the city, I am going to make a name for myself today, hahaha!"
A long rope hung a radish basket sliding down from the city. Qian Kezhuang got out of the radish basket, straightened his clothes and armor, and strode towards the Qin army array in the distance.
After walking under the flagpole, Qian Kezhuang raised his head and looked up at Feng Fayong's head on the flagpole. A drop of blood dripped down and fell on Qian Kezhuang's face. He reached out and wiped the drop of blood into his mouth. He shouted loudly: "General Feng, your blood is still hot."
He suddenly knelt down on the flagpole, kowtowed three times, stood up, and strode away to meet the Qin troops approaching in front of him.
Wang Xiao looked at the Han general who was blind in one eye in front of him. Judging from his clothes, he was actually a camp general.
"Did Shang Kexi send you to beg me for surrender?" Wang Xiao said coldly.
Qian Kezhuang chuckled, looked up at the sky, looked at the sky for a long time, and pretended to be confused: "Hey, it's already dawn tomorrow, why are you still dreaming?"
"Be bold!"
"rude!"
The Qin generals all around were filled with angry scoldings.
Qian Kezhuang raised his head high, squinted at the sky, and sneered silently.
As soon as Wang Xiao raised his hand, the noise around him immediately quieted down.
"Since I'm not here to ask for surrender, what message did Shang Kexi ask you to bring?" Wang Xiao asked.
"General Shang asked me to tell you a story, General Wang Xiao!" Qian Keqiang said loudly.
"Oh?" Wang Xiao leaned forward, "I didn't expect Shang Kexi to be so elegant. I wonder what story you want to tell me? I really want to listen."
"I wonder if General Wang Xiao has ever heard of the Liaoning Guards Battle when the Han Dynasty fought against the Donghu a few years ago?" Qian Kezhuang said with a smile, "I participated in this battle there and was shot by the Donghu people. I lost one eye and retired to Shannan County."
"Are you retired?" Wang Xiao looked at the uniform of the battalion general on the other party in confusion.
"Yes, I have retired, but now I am a battalion general in Shannan County's reserve force!" Qian Kezhuang said proudly: "When farming is busy, I plow the fields, and when farming is slack, I train and fight. This is for the reserve force."
Wang Xiao nodded: "I've heard about it a long time ago! Tell me your story!"
"At the Liaoning Guard, the Donghu people captured more than a hundred of our Han soldiers. They hanged all of these hundred Han soldiers outside the Liaoning Guard, hoping to undermine our army's confidence in defending the city. , General Wang Xiao, do you know what happened next?"
Wang Xiao let out a laugh and glanced at Feng Fayong's head hanging high on the flagpole in the distance, "It's just that you defended the Liaoning Guard and defeated the Donghu people. This is known to the world, but how can I, Da Qin, Are they comparable to the Donghu barbarians?"
Qian Keqiang laughed: "This is not the point. The point is that General Meng Chong, who was guarding the city at that time, swore in front of the battle formation that he would hang all the Yuwen family and Kirgiz family who killed the prisoners of our Han army under the Liaoning Acropolis. Later, the King of Han even It was in the form of a royal order that confirmed the oath of Commander Meng Chong. Later, we defeated the Donghu people, the Yuwen family, and the Kirgiz family. None of them escaped. We captured them all under the Liaoning Acropolis, and they hung us. A brother’s place.”
Wang Xiao's pupils shrank, and there was a sound of inhalation from the Qin generals all around.
"General Shang asked me to speak to General Wang Xiao. He will follow the example of 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 Shannan County City to pay tribute to General Feng. "Sorry!" Qian Keqiang said with a smile. "Our Han army never swears easily, but once the oath is made, hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers will keep it. Wang Xiao, just wait!"
There was a roar, and Wang Jian on the side could no longer bear it. He rushed forward and kicked Qian Kezhuang to the ground. He pulled out his knife with a choking sound and said, "Father, kill this dog thief."
Wang Xiao's face showed murderous intent and he 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 won't kill you either. Go back and tell Shang Kexi to wash his neck, and I will soon let him be with Feng Fayong."
"You're not going to kill me?" Qian Kezhuang stood up, patted the dirt on his body slowly, and cupped his hands, "Thank you very much. I will kill a few more Qin troops on top of the city later." I’m here to thank you for your kindness. Haha, hahaha!”
He turned around and walked away.
On the wall, war drums beat slowly, and thousands of soldiers, led by Shang Kexi, began to recite their oaths to the accompaniment of drum beats.
"I swear in the name of the King of the Han Dynasty that I will kill everyone in Wang Xiaoju's clan and not leave any chickens or dogs behind."
Thousands of voices gathered together and rolled in from a distance. Wang Xiao finally couldn't bear it any longer, slapped the case and stood up, shouting angrily: "Attack the city!"
Daijun, Xiling City, He Lanxiong mounted his war horse. At the city gate, officials led by Daijun Governor Zhao Yong, Daijun Sima He Tianju, and Daijun Guard General Qin Lei were seeing He Lanxiong off.
He Lanxiong raised his hands to everyone and said: "Everyone, the Qin army is launching a massive attack on Shannan County. It seems that the war between us and the Qin people has broken out in advance. This time, our Eastern Group Army is going all out to assist Shannan County. I will leave this logistical matter to you." Already."
"Commander, don't worry. I will do my best on behalf of the county so that the Eastern Field Army will have no worries." Zhao Yong said.
He Lanxiong nodded, "General Qin Lei, this time I have taken away half of Daijun's soldiers, so you will have to worry more about Daijun's military affairs. Although Zhao State has been greatly damaged this time, they have never had any ambitions for Daijun." The clan abandoned it and wanted to take Dai County back to the Zhao Kingdom, so we must be careful about Nanzhang and not give our opponents any opportunity to take advantage of it."
"You will eventually understand."
"Lord He Tianju!" He Lanxiong looked at He Tianju again. He was the earliest official sent to Dai County from the Han Kingdom, and he was also a powerful figure in Dai County.
"The reserves of Daijun must also be mobilized as soon as possible. The Qin State is a big country in the world. If we go to war with it, we must be prepared for the whole people to resist. At the moment, the kingdom's focus is still on the affairs of the Qi State. For the time being, I am afraid that we will not be able to do so. A large number of troops have been mobilized to support us, and the Chu State is ready to make a move. In the early stages of the war, I am afraid we will have to support ourselves independently for a while."
"Commander, don't worry, I will save you money. I have drafted the terms last night and sent them to all the prefectures and counties in Daijun today. The reserve forces have begun to mobilize. Fortunately, the spring plowing has passed now and it will not hinder the farming season!"
"Gentlemen, our Kingdom of Han has reached its most critical moment. As long as we win the battle with Qin, then this world will belong to our Han Dynasty." He Lanxiong laughed loudly and grabbed the horse's belly, " let's go!"
The war horse neighed, raised its hooves lightly, and galloped away.
After receiving the emergency document from Shannan County, the infantry of the Eastern Field Army, led by Yan Haibo, had already set off. He Lanxiong, after arranging the corresponding matters, led the cavalry to set off. With the cavalry's foot power, It won't take a few days to catch up with Yan Haibo's infantry.
The 60,000-strong Eastern Army Group set out from Daijun and marched day and night toward Shannan County.
The war in Shannan County has been going on for the sixth day, but the flag of the Han army is still flying above the county. Gao Yuan once said that if there were 20,000 well-trained troops in Shannan County, there would be no shortage of food and grass. , is a fortress that cannot be conquered. Now within Shannan County, there are 10,000 well-trained Han troops, in addition there are more than 2,000 reserve soldiers and the people of Shannan County who are unwilling to leave. They are united and united, and they are allowed to attack continuously. The Qin army was helpless. The casualties on both sides were increasing by a terrifying figure every day. Compared with the defenders, the attackers suffered greater losses.
Not many of the nail racks that originally stood in the city have survived, and most of the remaining ones are in dilapidated condition. They were destroyed by the enemy's crossbows and stone cannons. Under the city, corpses are piled one on top of another, and the ground is piled up. It was several feet higher. It was good news that the Qin army had previously restrained these corpses. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao did not buy it. After a few days, the stench of corpses wafted in the wind, and the stench was unpleasant.
Qian Kezhuang was sitting on a crossbow bed, wrapped around his body like a mummy, and was shaking his head, "Son of a bitch, Wang Xiao, is so cruel to his own people, General Shang, Put it on fire, it smells too bad." (To be continued)
