Chapter 214: No one survives
People are constantly improving, especially Chen Qianshan, the son of the daughter who should not be able to sit in the hall. His progress speed is completely unimaginable to the Tartars. Even the emperor was calculating the arrival of the army in the capital. He had already overestimated Chen Qianshan, but he still gave the other party twenty-seven days. In fact, Chen Qianshan only took twenty-four days to arrive here in Chuncheng. How could the Tartars know this young general better than the emperor?
However, in the face of such a good situation, Chen Qianshan still remained silent. He could see the battles two miles away with his naked eyes, but without his orders, the soldiers did not dare to act rashly even if they were ready to act. It was necessary to engage in military law on the battlefield.
He sat firmly on Diaoyutai in the mountains and forests, but the guards of Chuncheng were already suffering from support. The inspector and security guard of the inspection department saw that the prefect Zhu Xun was still supervising the battle on the top of the city, and he couldn't help but get angry and pushed the other party down, screaming: "You are still using you to supervise the battle at this time? The men are all fighting hard. Who would have thought that the Tartars had changed their temperament and attacked the North City today. The defense here is the weakest. ***They haven't come here for more than a month. Who would have thought of this happening?"
The reason why Lord An kept explaining so much was that he was a little guilty and blushing. Originally, there were many fortifications in Beicheng, but because the Tartars had never attacked, he dismantled most of the fortifications and went to the other three city gates. Who knew that this morning, the Tartars began to attack the North City Gate violently. How could he not let him get furious and angry?
"Sir An, let the guys support you and support for a moment. The reinforcements should arrive soon."
Zhu Xun was pushed down, but he didn't think it was offended at all. Instead, he shouted at Antu on the top of the city, but Antu said with a dark face: "You just said this, where are the reinforcements? There is no shadow. Damn it, I really can't hold on. Look at it yourself, how many people are not injured here?"
"Mr. An, hold on anyway. As long as you can attract all ten thousand vanguards of the Tartars, I can guarantee that reinforcements will fall from the sky immediately."
Lord Zhu couldn't explain too much. He was worried about the war last night and didn't fall asleep until midnight when he heard a bird song. As soon as the sky was bright, birds flew out of the mountains and forests, he decided in his heart that reinforcements had arrived. This was five days earlier than he had expected, so why didn't the old man be overjoyed? When he thought of the famous young general who was well-known in the world, the old man was also holding his energy in his heart, preparing to let the other party see the strength of his and others defending the city. It would be best to cooperate with the attack inside and outside to eat all the 10,000 Tartar soldiers outside the city. In the past half month, Chuncheng has been bullied by them.
When the Tartar soldiers suddenly attacked Beicheng, the old man was laughing in his heart and God helped me. Unexpectedly, he didn't see reinforcements appear. He just thought for a while and understood Chen Qianshan's intention. The little marshal's appetite seemed to be very big, and he didn't want to let a Tartar soldier go. This is.
It is not surprising that Lord Zhu could guess Chen Qianshan's thoughts. He cooperated with Antuyi and guarded Chuncheng for more than half a month. Can it be done without some military talent? But after he said this, Antuyi was also confused. He knew that this old man was similar to a monk in some aspects and never talked about strolls. He jumped down and said, "Give me a correct word, what's going on? Reinforcements? We calculated that at that time, didn't you say that even if Marshal Xiao Shen led the team, the reinforcements would arrive in at least five days?"
It would be boring to hide it at this time. When Lord Zhu quietly told Lord An, inspector An's two eyes suddenly glared out. The warrior who had just been shot on his shoulder didn't even know the pain. He screamed and rushed to the top of the city. He was about to make the men fight desperately, but suddenly he felt something was wrong again. The Tartars were not in a good way. They always fought desperately, but why did they seem to have left three points this time? Think about it carefully: No, they were planning to retreat if they couldn't conquer.
It was about to be taken away, so inspector An was willing to put down this big fish? So he quickly ordered the soldiers to put some water on it. The Tartars were simple-minded. As long as you pretended to be tired, they felt that they could capture the city gate with more effort, they would definitely rushed up.
At this moment, it is not easy to defend the city gate, is it not easy to release water? The soldiers have already used up all their potential. When they heard this, two people immediately collapsed to the ground. Suddenly, the city of Chuncheng was in chaos.
Or do the Tartars always say that the people of the Central Plains are cunning? In fact, it is not cunning, but the Tartars are too careless. When they see the city gate guards loose, the remaining three thousand Tartar soldiers rushed up with a scream, intending to support their brothers to take down the North City Gate in one go. As long as they enter the city, what's the use of those unarmed people? Are they just letting them kill melons and vegetables?
"Marson, the last three thousand people joined the team. In this way, all 10,000 Tartar soldiers should be on the battlefield."
The scout who had been secretly observing the form of the two armies immediately ran back to report, so Shen Qianshan, who was sitting cross-legged, stood up suddenly and said to the deputy general beside him: "Tell me the order of commander, be prepared to attack, only kill but not capture it. 500,000 to 10,000, if a Tartar escapes, come and see you."
"yes."
The deputy general agreed and passed down layers of military orders. Here, the personal soldiers beside Shen Qianshan waved the flags of the personal soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests like ants. The soldiers were already burning with blood and hatred in their chests, and their soldiers rushed out screaming and screaming.
There is no suspense at this point. As Shen Qianshan said, 10,000 Tartar soldiers survived the rush of 500,000 Daqing soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.
******************************
"The Tartars have always been brave and reckless. This time they can actually think of retreating early. I have to say that the marshal's deterrence on them is really unparalleled."
After the city gates opened to welcome Shen Qianshan into the city, Zhu Xun and Antuyi accompanied him to the Chuncheng Government Office in person. Behind them, there was a burst of joy and laughter. It was the people of Chuncheng who were venting their joy and excitement after they survived the desperate situation.
"Where is Marshal Jiang? Why did the guards in Chuncheng fall into your hands? Why did the 100,000 troops on the frontier not see?"
Shen Qianshan was not happy. As the Grand Marshal of the Three Armed Forces, Marshal Jiang rushed to help at night, and there was no reason he disappeared, although his identity was only the deputy commander.
Sure enough, when he said this, Zhu Xun and Antuyi lowered their heads. After a while, Zhu Xun sighed: "This time, Jinyue Ningxia and the two countries are coming in full force. Marshal Jiang... led the frontier defenders to fight to the death. After Qiangyue City persisted for half a month, only 10,000 remaining troops escorted tens of thousands of young and strong people to Chuncheng. Marshal Jiang was infected with poisoned arrows when he left the city to fight. He is still unconscious... "
There are 100,000 troops, only 10,000 remaining troops?
Chen Qianshan suddenly took a breath and stopped in a daze. According to the law, Marshal Jiang's defeat was enough to behead him. But he didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that the old marshal with rich combat experience could make a big mistake that ruined the lives of 90,000 soldiers.
"what is going on?"
After a while, Chen Qianshan calmed down before he asked a question in a deep voice.
"It's a disease."
Zhu Xun's body trembled in anger and said sadly: "When the Tartars came to attack, more than a dozen cities suddenly had an epidemic. The defenders retreated into those cities, and all died of illness. However, the Tartars were invincible. Marshal Jiang realized that the epidemic was probably under the Tartars. In desperation, he had to leave all the soldiers and people infected with the epidemic in those cities to fight to the death. He led some young and strong people who had not yet been infected and the remaining troops retreated to the Chuncheng. Fortunately, Marshal Jiang reminded him that the officials were guarding the two Tartar spies. They were going to poison the water source of Chuncheng, but fortunately they had not succeeded, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
“So mean.”
Chen Qianshan's eyes were full of tears when he heard this. Marshal Jiang brought the remnants of the army to Chuncheng. After more than half a month, no one here was infected. It can be known that all he chose were healthy people. In this way, I am afraid that the people and soldiers who were slightly more likely to be infected will be abandoned in those damaged cities, which will be a lifetime of death.
This fact gnawed Chen Qianshan's heart like a poisonous snake, but he didn't say much. Marshal Jiang did this, just because he cut off his arm. If it were him, there would be no other choice.
"Let's go and see Marshal Jiang first."
Sighing, Chen Qianshan took the lead in entering the government office.
******************************************
"Grandma, I'm here."
Just as he placed the things, Ning Xianbi had not had time to take a sip of tea when she heard Luhua report outside. Then Chen Qianshan lifted the curtain and Feng Fenghuohuo walked in.
"What's wrong?" Seeing his serious and sad face, Ning Xianbi couldn't stand up and asked, and said to Haitang, "Pour a cup of tea for me."
"Abi, in a city, the soldiers in the people were infected with the epidemic. However, the Tartar soldiers had no symptoms when drinking water and eating. Do you know what's going on?"
Chen Qianshan didn't bother to drink water. This incident was like a poisonous snake, which made him feel full of fear. If this problem could not be solved, it would be difficult to regain those dozen cities, even if Daqing was not destroyed, because no matter how you look at it, it was like a sign of "God was going to destroy me."
In fact, the epidemic has been mentioned slightly in the war report, but even Zhu Xun and An Tuyi dare not explain in detail the news that was enough to cause panic among the people. In their opinion, it is a bit abnormal and close to the demons of Daqing people. It is a disease, not a poison, and it is fine if you take an antidote.
"Huh? Is this happening?" Ning Xianbi was also surprised and thought to himself what was going on? Could it be that the Tartar soldiers had invented effective vaccines for epidemics? Is it so funny? Unless the other party also traveled over to a doctorate in pharmacology, it would be possible? That was the Tartar soldiers. Although they were extremely fierce, they were more than a little behind Daqing, whether in terms of civilization or productivity and technology.
ps: Huh, this chapter is to fight against blood with teeth.
Chapter completed!
