Chapter 98 Surrender or Die

At this time, Wang Wenhuan was completely unable to control the situation, and the admiral's battalion under him was also completely unable to command. Seeing that Jingzhou City was about to fall into the hands of the Fuhan Army, he had only one thought in his mind, that is to serve the country and die .

"My sons, my sons, follow me to kill the enemy and serve the Qing!" Wang Wenhuan's face turned red. As the admiral of the Qing army's Huguang water and land, although he didn't achieve much in office, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and the emperor was nothing He was so hot that he deserved to die on the battlefield now, and he must be famous in later generations.

It's just that Wang Wenhuan didn't expect that just when he was about to die heroically for the country, the master Hengrui he was defending had already considered whether to surrender with the Eight Banners soldiers, which seemed a bit ironic.

A dozen personal guards followed Wang Wenhuan along the road to contain the rout soldiers, and then launched an assault towards the Fuhan army in the direction of Dong Ce, but before they approached, a group of Fuhan soldiers raised their guns and opened fire. A row of marbles knocked down several Qing soldiers to the ground. Amidst the rising smoke, Wang Wenhuan let out a roar, and rushed over with his braids in his arms.

Soon the gunshots rang out, and when the smoke filled the air, the soldiers of the Fuhan Army fired while marching, and the smoke moved along with it, but Wang Wenhuan failed to rush over after all, and he fell to the ground with his head up. There were a few more blood holes, and the long knife was still tightly held in his hand.

Wang Wenhuan died, and he died in Jingzhou City without hesitation with his infinite care for the Qing Dynasty.However, what Wang Wenhuan did not expect was that he did not become a hero of the Qing Dynasty. In Hengrui's later memorial, it was described that Wang Wenhuan was not good at commanding in front of the battle, and he committed suicide in fear of crime. Sent to jail.

However, although Wang Wenhuan died, the war was not over yet. It took half a day for the Fuhan Army to surround the entire city. There were more than 1 people, and the rest were old and young, women and children. They looked at the Fuhan army all over the city, and they were extremely terrified.

Fourth Master Ha is a descendant of the banner, his ancestors have enjoyed all the wealth and honor since they entered the pass, and they have never experienced hardships since they were born, but now they are also standing on the top of the city wearing cotton armor, with a pale face.

"My lords, it turns out that my great-grandfather slaughtered Yangzhou with Prince Yu. It is said that in those ten days, all the Han people in the city were slaughtered! But now, we are surrounded by Han people. If we break the City gate, we all have to die too!"

Ha Siye's words completely frightened the Eight Banners soldiers on the side. The Eight Banners soldiers who can be stationed in Jingzhou are naturally no strangers to that period of history, but now that the protagonist has become himself, this feels uncomfortable up.

"Hey, but gentlemen, this matter is not without a turnaround." Fourth Master Ha looked mysterious, "My uncle is working for the Jingzhou General's Mansion, and according to his old man, Hengrui probably wants to make peace with Chu Ni !"

"Negotiating peace? Isn't this collaborating with the enemy!" Some Eight Banners soldiers are not stupid. Of course, they know how big a crime it is to negotiate a peace on their own, but once this person has hope of living in his heart, he is determined not to die. Coughing, he hesitated and said: "General Hengrui, we still know that even the emperor praised his loyalty! This must be a rumor!"

Fourth Master Ha sneered in his heart, although he is the uncle under his banner, he never wanted to be buried here together, now that he sees these duplicity, he no longer speaks.

At this time, a special person ushered in General Hengrui's mansion. This person was originally the patriarch of the royal family in Jingzhou, named Wang Qi. However, his influence and prestige are increasing day by day, so he can also be a guest in the general's mansion.

Hengrui had a worried expression on his face. The Fuhan army was about to attack the city, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas at this time.Although he didn't know that Wang Wenhuan had died for the country, he didn't have too much hope in his heart. He was alone and helpless at this time, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

"According to the news outside the city, the Fuhan army has occupied Xiangyang. The governor of Manpi has now died for the country." Wang Qi looked sad, "Now my Jingzhou is also surrounded by the Fuhan army, I am afraid it is at stake! "

Hengrui's face was a little uneasy, and he forced a smile and said: "Old Wang's words are wrong. My Emperor Qing has already started dispatching troops and dispatching generals, and he is bound to wipe out Chu Ni in one fell swoop. Now as long as I wait to guard this city, it will be a great achievement." .” Even though he said that, his gray and defeated expression could not be concealed from others.

Wang Qi was a little impatient, and said directly: "Can the general still see what kind of environment the general is in now? If the general insists on going his own way just to defend this dead city, how many people will still be alive in the city? As far as we are concerned, there is only one road left to go.” It is self-evident what this road is.

Hengrui's face turned ugly, and his tone became a bit weird, "Could it be that Mr. Wang has already voted for Chu Ni? Believe it or not, this general ordered someone to take you down immediately!"

Wang Qi laughed loudly, without any scruples, just stared at Hengrui, "You think this is just my Wang Qi's idea? Then you are completely wrong. Who doesn't mean that in this city? If I really want to burn jade and stone together, I have to see if the Fuhan Army will give the general this chance."

Hengrui snorted coldly, pointed outside and said loudly: "This general still has three thousand and eight banner soldiers! There is also enough food and water in this city, as well as shotguns and cannons. Why should I surrender?"

"But the general has no support. Based on this alone, if the general continues to resist, the people in this city will be killed. Now, on behalf of all the relatives and nobles of the Manchu people in this city, I, Wang Qi, are here to discuss with the general about surrender. If the general does not If you are willing, you have to ask other relatives of the Eight Banners in the city if they are willing." Wang Qi's face was calm, without the slightest bit of anger.

Now Hengrui was completely powerless, and he slumped on the chair, "Is my country in the Qing Dynasty just thrown to Chu Ni? To that old Qiuba and Huangkou Ruzi?" The so-called Laoqiuba refers to Ning Zhong Yuan, Huangkou Ruzi is naturally Ning Yu.

"General, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Today's Hubei is dominated by the Fuhan Army. This cannot be changed. If the Qing Dynasty can wipe out Chu Ni in the future, I, Wang Qi, will naturally welcome Wang Shi to go south to seek thieves." !"

Wang Qi's face is full of justice, it seems that the person who betrayed the Qing Dynasty at this time is not himself at all, and he has become the guardian of the Manchus at this time, dedicating his life to the relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners.

"That's all, that's all, I only have one request." Hengrui stared at Wang Qi with an extremely serious expression, fearing that Wang Qi would object at this time, he quickly stated his request.

"As long as Chu Ni, as long as Ning Yu promises to spare the people in this city and myself, and not to hurt the lives of the people in my city, I am willing to surrender."
