806 National treasury, one hundred thousand urgent events
There was a loud noise from the north city gate, and a louder cry for help.
"What's going on? Let's go and take a look." Qin Jiyan already had a guess in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"Report...the northwest army attacked the North City Gate. Your Highness, please send someone to rescue." The messenger arrived very quickly, which shows the efficiency of the Qin army.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask for your orders." Prince Pingxi stepped forward after hearing this.
"Sure." Qin Jiyan didn't stop him.
There is a big river separated from the north city gate and the northwest army camp. There is no bridge on the river, so you can only live by walking through the water.
Because of this natural danger, although there were not many soldiers and horses stationed at the north city gate, there were also not many people in the northwest army who could cross the river.
It was extremely dangerous to let the army cross the river in the middle of the night. King Zhao really risked his life in order to cooperate with Xihu's night attack.
The Prince of Pingxi County knew about the situation at the North City Gate and only ordered 20,000 horses to pass through.
Deploying 20,000 troops will reduce the strength of this side, but it will not affect the overall situation.
After Prince Pingxi left, the secret guards behind Qin Jiyan appeared like ghosts, guarding Qin Jiyan on the left and right.
Standing on the city wall, although Qin Jiyan could not see everything on the battlefield, he could see everything that should be seen. If he wanted to make a fool of himself under his eyes, he would have to risk his life!
I don’t think so, but there are really desperate people who want to take advantage of the darkness to do stupid things.
One of the lieutenants pointed out by Prince Pingxi took advantage of the darkness and thought that no one had seen his movements. He led the troops behind him to rush to the side gate without receiving an order, and said to the people guarding the city gate.
: "Open the city gate, I want to go to war!"
"Get him!" Qin Jiyan knew what the other party was planning upon hearing this, and ordered the secret guard behind him before the city gate opened.
The secret guard was like a ghost, falling quickly under the city wall. When the soldier was about to open the city gate, he blocked it with his sword and said, "Who dares to open the city gate without His Highness's order?"
"Sir, villain..." The soldier who opened the city gate jumped, his legs shook and he knelt down. But there was another person who was even more frightened, and that was the deputy general sitting on horseback.
He didn't expect that someone would notice his little move in this chaos.
"Sir, sir, the general is about to go into battle." The deputy general spoke tremblingly, constantly telling himself that he should not panic at this time, but he could not control his body.
"Going to fight? Humph..." the secret guard sneered, without saying anything to him. He pointed the sword in his hand at the opponent and said to the soldier on the side: "Tie the man up and remove his jaw."
"Sir, what are you doing? What did the general do to you to tie up the general?" The deputy general was frightened, but he still shouted loudly, as if this was the only way to prove his innocence.
"Betraying Da Qin and colluding with Xihu, what else do you want to do?" The secret guard glanced at him and said to the dumbfounded soldier on the side: "What are you still doing? Why don't we take him down quickly? Anyone who resists will be punished with the same crime."
"No, you can't..." The deputy general wanted to argue, but the soldiers guarding the city immediately became angry when they heard the secret guard's words.
"Are you a spy? Hurry, capture him, don't let him escape." Someone shouted loudly, which immediately attracted the support of the surrounding soldiers. One by one, they stepped forward and tied up the people around the deputy general. As for the deputy general himself?
He wanted to escape, but as soon as the secret guard took action, he had no way out...
A rebellion is over before it even begins!
Feng Yao was outside, but he didn't see the city gate open for a long time, so he knew that the spy Xihu had buried for many years had been exposed.
Feng Yao didn't know who Xihu's spies were buried in Da Qin. Using a night attack to force the spies to come out automatically was a great deal.
However, Feng Yao cannot lose this battle. If he loses, will he still have any prestige in the army?
"Bring me my gun!" Feng Yao took the gun and rushed into the battlefield, pushing past the deputy commander who was fighting with General Cheng. "I'll pick him, and you lead the men to attack the city."
"Yes!" The deputy commander happened to be defeated by General Cheng. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, he immediately backed away after hearing Feng Yao's words.
"You're here just in time!" General Cheng's blood boiled when he saw Feng Yao.
During the daytime battle, he and Feng Yao hadn't decided the winner yet, and just when he thought he hadn't fought enough, Feng Yao came.
General Cheng is extremely tough, but he is no match for Feng Yao, who did not try his best during the day.
In order to prevent General Cheng from losing too embarrassingly and to prevent others from knowing his true strength, Feng Yao did not rush to defeat General Cheng. Instead, he fought with General Cheng for more than a hundred moves before taking the spear out of General Cheng's hand.
Fly, give him a shot with your backhand.
"Boom..." General Cheng fell off his horse, and Feng Yao paused for a moment without leaving a trace, giving the people behind General Cheng enough time to rescue him, and then he flew forward...
"General Cheng, I admit it." Feng Yao raised his gun and stabbed General Cheng in the heart.
General Cheng fell to the ground motionless. Seeing this, the people behind him quickly stepped forward and dragged General Cheng back, "General, be careful!"
"Push..." Feng Yao's spear head was pierced into the soil, and the sharp point was completely submerged into the soil. Can you imagine what would happen if this spear pierced General Cheng?
"Quickly, take the general away." When the people protecting General Cheng saw how brave Feng Yao was, their expressions changed greatly, and they carried General Cheng and ran into the city.
Feng Yao did not chase immediately, but turned around and jumped on the horse, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Follow me, charge!"
Feng Yao charged forward and gathered a group of elites. Wherever he went, the Qin army was no match...
This battle lasted for three hours, from midnight to dawn. Xihu's army rushed to the city gate several times. If Tang Wanzhen hadn't blocked the city gate, the city gate would have been broken.
At dawn, everyone was exhausted. Xihu did not break the city or attack again, but chose to retreat.
It’s not that the Qin army is chasing them, it’s that they are retreating!
Although the city was not destroyed, the people of Xihu swept away yesterday's depression, laughed boldly and shouted loudly: "The commander is mighty!"
In this battle, Da Qin defended the city gate, but the Xihu people did not lose. Under the leadership of Feng Yao, the Xihu people regained their confidence and their morale was unprecedentedly high...
"Feng Yao, it's not simple!" Qin Jiyan stood on the city wall, looked at the Xihu army moving away, and shook his head.
Fortunately, Feng Yao didn't try his best, otherwise this battle would have been difficult to win.
Qin Jiyan returned to the tent and before he could sit down, the secret guard hurriedly came to report, "Your Highness, news from Beijing has arrived."
"Say." Qin Jiyan paused, then sat down again like no one else.
The fact that the news came out so quickly shows that nothing happened to Jin Yiwei.
The secret guard swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Highness, the news from the Jinyi Guards said that the emperor's urgent order for you to return is related to the loss of money from the treasury, and our Great Qin treasury is empty."
"Say it again?" Qin Jiyan, who was as calm as Qin Jiyan, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news.
Is Da Qin’s treasury empty?
How is this possible?
Who can empty out the treasury of Da Qin?
What a joke!
