The people of Wu and Yue were actually brave enough to reach this point?!
By the ugly time of the first day of September, the Wei army, which was reaping the benefits, had already settled in the city guard house in Suxian City and erected Zhao Hongrun's royal flag on the gate tower. However, this time the Qi army's general Zhongsun Sheng, who was in charge of the main attack, and his subordinates
The Beihai Navy was actually still blocked by Su County Guards Wu Yuan, who was about a few blocks away from the City Guards' Mansion.
Touching the bandage on his arm, Zhongsun Sheng looked at the admirable figure in the distance with an expressionless face.
The State of Qi had almost no war with the people of Wu and Yue, so that Qi General Zhongsun Sheng never knew that the people of Wu and Yue were so tough and brave. No wonder the huge Chu State spent hundreds of years to defeat them.
Countless armies were deployed, but they failed to bring that nation to submission.
However, that’s the end of it…
Zhongsun Sheng sighed slightly, feeling sorry for the respectable enemy general in the distance.
Because at this moment, Chu General Wu Yuan only had a few dozen people left, and all of them, including this Chu General, were seriously injured. Perhaps Zhongsun Sheng could just order another attack by the Northern Navy.
Capture and kill the Chu general who has resisted the most fiercely so far in this battle.
However, all this is meaningless.
Because Zhongsun Sheng had already heard that the Wei army took advantage of the fierce battle between the Qi army and the Chu army to sneak in and already controlled most of the city, especially the granary in Suxian city that stored grain and grass for Fulisai.
It is already in the possession of the Wei army.
In other words, there is no need to race against time.
"Report!"
A Qi sergeant hurriedly came to Zhongsun Sheng, clasped his fists and knocked on the ground and said: "The enemy general Wu Yuan refuses to surrender!"
Is that really the case...
After hearing this, Zhongsun Sheng secretly expressed his regret.
Because he had never encountered such a difficult opponent, Zhongsun Sheng was deeply interested in Wu Yuan's military strategy, so he tried to persuade Wu Yuan to surrender, but unfortunately, he was rejected by Wu Yuan.
At this time, a general next to him said disdainfully: "He is really ignorant!... Now that things have happened, can he still stop our army?"
…
Zhongsun Sheng glanced sideways at the general and frowned slightly.
It is true that at this moment, Chu general Wu Yuan only had dozens of men left. As long as Zhongsun Sheng gave the order, Wu Yuan's few men would no longer be able to resist the Qi army's offensive.
But the question is, is it really because of the Qi army that the current situation has evolved?
You must know that there were originally 40,000 to 50,000 Chu troops in Suxian City. Even if a few hours ago, the Chu and Qi troops fought each other and lost half of them, what about the remaining half?
Why are there only a few dozen people left around Wu Yuan?
The reason is very simple, because those surviving Chu troops had already surrendered to the Wei army.
Is this something to be proud of?
After a moment of silence, Zhongsun Sheng slowly exhaled, waved his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Kill!"
With an order, the Qi troops on this street once again charged forward, killing the Chu general Wu Yuan and the few dozen people around him.
Even though he was far away, Zhongsun Sheng still seemed to be able to clearly see that the fierce general from the land of Wu and Yue, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, with several arrows stuck in his body, still seemed like a head of choice.
Like a tiger devouring people, he struggled to kill the Qi soldiers who rushed in front of him one after another.
"Crossbowman!"
Following an order from a Qi Army general, more than thirty Qi Army crossbowmen shot arrows at Wu Yuan.
At this moment, the dozens of Chu soldiers around Wu Yuan shouted: "Protect the general!"
After shouting, those people actually used their bodies to block these arrows for Wu Yuan.
Although Zhongsun Sheng never saw it, Wu Yuan could clearly see the smiles on the faces of the loyal soldiers who blocked the arrows for him at the last moment.
…
Wu Yuan's gaze paused for a moment, but only for a moment.
Then, one could see that his eyes were bloodshot, and he was more like a ferocious beast that was completely enraged, killing an endless stream of Qi soldiers around him like a massacre.
Gradually, Wu Yuan was finally the only one left on this street.
Feeling something in his heart, he looked around and found that he was standing alone, surrounded by countless Qi soldiers.
Wiping the blood on his face, Wu Yuan turned to look at his dead soldiers, with a rare gentle smile on his face.
Because he knew that his loyal soldiers had fulfilled their oath: to protect Wu Yuan until the last moment!
Wu will not keep you waiting for too long, my brothers...
Wu Yuan said secretly in his heart.
At this time, he already felt that the strength in his body seemed to be gradually withdrawn from his body, so that he felt that the weapon in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and his feet were getting heavier and heavier.
"..."
In the distance, Zhongsun Sheng frowned when he saw this.
Is that the end of it...Wu Yuan.
Zhongsun Sheng looked at Wu Yuan, who was gradually losing control, and sighed secretly in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Bring me my bow!"
"Yes!" The soldier immediately took the strong bow and handed it to Zhongsun Sheng.
I saw Zhongsun Sheng taking the bow and arrow and pulling away a full moon with both hands. Due to the excessive force, the wound on his arm immediately opened, and the blood immediately dyed the bandage that wrapped the wound red.
"General..." The soldier was shocked when he saw this, and looked at the red area on Zhongsun Sheng's arm with a worried expression.
However, Zhongsun Sheng seemed to feel no pain. He drew his bow and pointed it at the Chu general Wu Yuan from a distance. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Wu Yuan!"
In the distance, Wu Yuan heard Zhong Sun Sheng's shout, and was stunned for a moment. He raised his head subconsciously, only to see Zhong Sun Sheng loosen the bow string, and a sharp sword left the bow with a whoosh, and in just a blink of an eye, it plunged into the bow.
It touched Wu Yuan's heart.
"..."
Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand that a general like Zhongsun Sheng could actually hurt people with secret arrows. But when he realized that the surrounding Qi soldiers saw this scene, they all put down their raised weapons, Wu
Only then did Yuan suddenly realize.
So that’s it, did you want Wu to die in a dignified way? It’s really the benevolent style of Qi State...
Putting the spear in his left hand on the ground, Wu Yuan held the arrow that had pierced his heart with his backhand, and looked deeply at Qi General Zhongsun Sheng in the distance.
He didn't say anything, and Zhongsun Sheng didn't need this.
On the battlefield, the tacit understanding between men, even if they are enemies of each other, can be conveyed with just one look.
That’s it for now…
Wu Yuan said to himself secretly.
At this moment, young faces gradually appeared in his mind.
That was when he was a soldier of the Dongou Army.
Ten years... is really a long time for you to wait...
Under the silent gaze of countless Qi soldiers around him, Wu Yuan took a deep breath, struggled to pull out the arrow piercing his heart, and then turned his head to look to the southeast.
In that direction, there is his hometown.
There was the army he had been in.
besides……
His Highness Shaokang...
A figure finally appeared in his mind, and the look in Wu Yuan's eyes finally dimmed completely. Note: Shaokang, the leader of the Wuyue people, did not appear.
After a long time, seeing that Wu Yuan had not responded, a Qi soldier cautiously stepped forward to check his breathing. Only then did he realize that this fierce general of Chu who was born in the land of Wu and Yue was actually standing there and had already passed away.
The death of Chu general Wu Yuan in battle meant that Suxian County truly fell into the hands of the Qi and Wei coalition forces.
"General..."
The Qi soldier quickly came to Zhongsun Sheng, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhongsun Sheng wave his hand and said in a heavy tone: "Bury him.... This man is brave, so don't be humiliated anymore."
.”
"As you command!"
All the Qi soldiers responded.
At this time, Zhong Sunsheng took a deep breath to adjust his mentality, and then focused his attention on the other side of the street.
"General." The soldier beside him seemed to have guessed his general's thoughts and asked tentatively: "Do you want to send someone to negotiate with the Wei army?"
Negotiate with Wei Jun?
Zhongsun Sheng turned his head and glanced at the soldier, but said nothing.
According to reports from soldiers in his army, the Wei army had gathered most of the surviving Chu soldiers in the city and controlled most of the city.
This shameless behavior made Zhongsun Sheng extremely angry, and he wished he could send an army to investigate the crime right now.
But when he remembered that the leader of the Wei army was Ji Run, King Su of Wei State, even Zhongsun Sheng felt a little wary.
After all, the scene outside Suxian City happened not long ago, and Zhongsun Sheng still vividly remembers it.
That was a man who unabashedly said in front of the generals of Qi that he wanted to kill a few people to establish his authority. He even used Wei's attitude on the confrontation between Qi and Chu to threaten and bluff the generals.
The once proud and arrogant generals of Qi no longer dared to act arrogantly in front of King Su.
He even dared not look at the young King Su of Wei again.
As for now, although Zhongsun Sheng is angry at Wei Jun's shameful behavior, does he dare to bring people to question him?
He didn't dare.
After all, the Qi general who was deprived of his position as general already had Gan Mao. Could it be that he, Zhongsun Sheng, would also follow in his footsteps?
Thinking of this, Zhongsun Sheng took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Commander Tian will decide the affairs of the Wei army. It is not for us to interfere... You send someone to report the situation in the city to Commander Tian."
"Yes!" The soldier nodded and summoned another soldier, instructing him to report the battle situation in the city to Tian Dan.
After that, Zhongsun Sheng restrained his Qi soldiers and began to clean up the battlefield, sorting the many corpses in the city into one place for Chu soldiers and another for Qi soldiers, and burned the corpses on the spot.
It has to be said that the Qi army caused too many killings when they attacked the Chu state. Because there was no time to dispose of the corpses, a plague broke out in the Chu state, and the Qi state also suffered greatly.
Since then, Qi's army has attached great importance to cleaning up corpses after the war.
Of course, the more important reason is probably that Zhongsun Sheng wanted to give his soldiers something to do, so that they would not conflict with the Wei army because they were angry that the Wei army had seized the granary in the city and the military exploits of their Qi army.
Avoiding fighting with friendly forces was secondary, but more importantly, Zhongsun Sheng did not want to anger King Su of Wei again.
As for who deserves the credit for conquering Suxian this time, Tian Danhui will argue with Zhao Hongrun after dawn.
Looking at the Qi Army on the East Route, Tian Dan is probably the only one who can talk to Wei Gongzi Run. In addition, even Zhongsun Sheng, the deputy general of the Qi Army on the East Route and the commander of the Northern Navy, is not qualified for this.
