Chapter 155 Long live my emperor (42)

This winter seems to be particularly difficult...

The court was corrupt, the emperor was fatuous, and various regions were divided by princes.

The people who could not stand the oppression also joined the rebel army.

The flames of war are about to ignite the entire continent...

at the same time.

It was snowing heavily, and King Xiqing was in the rear camp, losing his temper.

"A bunch of trash! You can't conquer even Qixian County, so what use are you?!"

The subordinates knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, the weather is very cold, and the soldiers are exhausted from continuous attacks on the city. After resting for a day or two, we will definitely capture Qixian!"

But being born noble, he never thought about the soldiers attacking the city in front.

I was very confident that Qixian could be easily captured in just two days, but King Xiqing actually set up camp and attacked for ten days without breaking through the city gate.

I wanted to drink some water, but it also turned into ice cubes.

However, the Qixian soldiers could have a good rest in the city.

King Xiqing was in the tent at the rear. There was a charcoal fire and fine wine. He was not afraid of the cold and could enjoy the snow scenery.

In the next few days, the weather will only get worse and worse, which is not suitable for attacking the city.

King Xiqing slapped the table and said, "Go if I tell you to!"

King Xiqing was so angry that he said angrily: "It's true that their crossbows are powerful, but do they only have so many arrows? Keep attacking! I don't believe they can't use up all their arrows!"

I didn't expect that this small Qixian County would be so heavily defended.

One of the lieutenants was seriously injured by this crossbow during the siege.

After a tiring day, I could only eat some coarse dry food, which was still stiff from the cold. When I swallowed it, my throat felt like it was bleeding.

The deputy general did not dare to say any more and had to retreat.

In fact, the King of Xiqing was too eager. They had more troops than Qixian, but the weather was bad and they could not capture Qixian, so they had to camp outside to endure the severe cold.

Having sent so many troops, he would never allow a retreat.

"You, go and mobilize the troops, and bring in eight thousand more!"

The rational counselor also advised: "Your Majesty, it is better to retreat first and wait until the weather clears before attacking the city."

Moreover, they had never seen the heavy crossbow that Qixian got from somewhere. It was much more powerful than ordinary crossbows. It could fire continuously. It was simply too powerful to be used to defend the city.

"Consume! Conquer them!"

It took a lot of energy to march all the way here, and it took a long time to attack the city.

He is an extremely conceited and face-saving person.

The deputy general who was called was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, the weather is bitterly cold and it is difficult for the soldiers to march!"

When the superior gives an order, the ants will charge into battle.

At night, the snow finally stopped for a while.

The soldiers looked at the tall tower.

Suddenly, I heard singing coming from the city.

In my nose, I seem to smell the aroma of barbecue...

After swallowing, someone whispered, "These Qixian soldiers can actually eat meat..."

It's good if you follow the right master.

in the city.

"Fan me hard, the wind is in the right direction today, I'll make them hungry!"

A row of sheep was skewered and roasted, and the fans were so greedy that they swallowed their saliva.

"Mr. Zuo, when will you feel better?"

Zuo Yi rolled his eyes at them, "Don't worry, bake them for a while longer, and bake some more tomorrow."

"Hahaha, they are going to die from hunger!" The soldiers laughed and laughed.

There was some sadness in Zuo Yi's eyes, the crossbow arrows were not enough...

Alas, I don’t know what’s going on with the adults...

Long ago, Nanyue left Qixian with some people.

She did not take away Qixian's troops, but left behind tactics and new types of crossbows. If it doesn't work, Ji Huaian is still here.

Defending Qixian is not a problem.

……

Many people in the army contracted the cold.

But King Xiqing didn't care about this and continued to attack the city despite having a high fever.

After falling down, the remaining soldiers stepped on the corpse and continued on...

Hunger, cold, illness...

There were complaints in the army, but none of them reached the ears of King Xiqing. Even if they reached his ears, he would not care, let alone find a way to solve it.

Until there were rumors that this wind chill would be contagious.

Only then did he feel distressed, "What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you throw all the cold-blooded soldiers and corpses into Qixian County?" a counselor suggested.

King Xiqing's eyes lit up. In this way, the people and soldiers of Qixian County would be sick and weak. How could they defend the city?

"Okay! This is a great plan!"

The rest of the people didn't agree with it, and those who wanted to speak out immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, think twice! Doing this will not only chill the hearts of the soldiers, but it will also damage your moral character!"

"It's their honor to be able to use Gu! When Gu takes over Qixian, he will definitely give you a reward!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

If he does this, his reputation will be ruined in the future. Will anyone still be willing to work for him?

It's a pity that King Xiqing just wants to capture Qixian and Wenzhou now.

He didn't care at all how it went.

King Xiqing ignored the advice of his loyal subordinates and looked at the counselor. He had been suppressed when Ji Yu was there before, but now that Ji Yu was gone, he realized that this man was also a rare talent.

"Mr. Wu, do you have any other good ideas?"

Mr. Wu had a goatee and an upright appearance, but he had a sinister idea behind his words. "To prevent them from throwing out the corpses, in Wu's opinion, it is better to plant crossbow arrows on the corpses of the soldiers. The same goes for the sick soldiers, who are all tied up." Load the crossbow arrows. If they want the crossbow arrows, they can only touch them. If they touch them, they will be infected with the disease, but they cannot not touch them!"

The more King Xiqing listened, the more surprised he became, and he praised: "Mr. Wu is a good stratagem, what a conspiracy!"

Mr. Wu cupped his hand with respect on his face and said, "The reinforcements are coming soon. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that he will be able to defeat Qixian within two days."

Some counselors were surprised, but did not dare to say anything.

After Ji Yu left, Mr. Wu became the first counselor under King Xiqing.

The idea sounds good at first glance, but when I think about it more, it doesn't feel right.

But King Xiqing just accepted this trick.

Especially after experiencing an arrogant counselor like Ji Yu.

Although Mr. Wu is a villain and cruel, his words are listenable and his ideas are useful.

After solving the problem of wind and cold infection and having a plan to capture Qixian, King Xiqing finally felt better.

After opening the city gate, he will personally behead that boy Chu Yu!
Let him be a coward!
Do you think hiding in the city will be fine?

Someone entered the camp and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have made milk tea. Drink some to warm yourself up."

King Xiqing looked up and saw the graceful figure of a young woman.

Originally, women were not supposed to be brought along during marches and battles, but Wuyaman's status was special and she was different from ordinary concubines.

King Xiqing also gave her some face, "Let it go."

Uyaman took a few steps closer, knelt down beside him, looked up at him, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to put the corpses of the soldiers on crossbows and throw them into the city."

"Well, what's Man'er's opinion on this matter?"

Uyaman bit his lip and said cautiously: "I think this... is not good."

"People in Daning often say that the dead are the most important, and they are buried in peace. How can we let the soldiers die..."

Before she could finish her words, a big hand grabbed her slender neck.

"It's their honor to be able to work for Gu even after he's dead! Don't think that as Gu's concubine, you can question Gu! You are the princess of the Li Kingdom and it's good. When Gu takes over Changxing County, if you don't honestly send troops to help Gu, Gu will cut off your head and give it to your father!"

Uyaman's eyes widened and his face turned red due to suffocation...

King Xiqing let go of his hand and said, "After this battle is over, you must send a message to Li State and ask them to send troops. Do you understand?"

"Ming, I understand."

Uyaman had tears in his eyes and clenched his fists...
