My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?
Chapter 58 When people’s hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team
Just when Ying Zheng asked to see the Queen Mother Huayang to deal with the aftermath of Ying Chengyu, another person was also having a headache because of Ying Chengyu.
"Xicheng will be destroyed in one day?" Tengfu, the pretend guard of Nanyang County, listened to the deserters' reports and asked in confusion: "Xicheng always has ten thousand county soldiers, how can it not be able to withstand it in one day?"
The deserter's eyes were filled with fear: "It's a demon fire! A demon fire that cannot be extinguished!"
"The Qin army lit the demon fire, and the demon fire swallowed up the north city, ignited the gate tower, the city gate, and the city wall!"
"The entire Beicheng turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye!"
Commander Han Ling frowned: "Stop saying such witchy words!"
"There is no thing in this world that can turn an entire city into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye!"
The deserter's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "It really does happen!"
"That's not human fire, that's demonic fire!"
"Splashing water can't put it out, and the more it burns, the more it burns. Even after my robe was lit by fire, I couldn't extinguish the flames even if I jumped into the river. Instead, it set the moat on fire!"
"I saw this with my own eyes!"
"That's demon fire, it's demon fire!"
Han Ling shouted angrily: "Escape from the battlefield is a capital crime."
"If you tell the truth and see what you see, you can still make up for the crime, but now you are full of witchcraft and deceit, but you want to die!"
While shouting angrily, Han Ling drew out his sword and pressed the blade against the deserter's neck.
The deserter huddled in fear and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Shangguan, why did you say Xicheng was broken down? That's why it was broken down."
"Be humble and obedient, humble and absolutely obedient!"
Facing such a deserter, Han Ling lost all interest in killing him and kicked the deserter hard: "Get out!"
"Torture them from left to right!"
Helplessly returning the sword to its sheath, Han Ling frowned: "What on earth is going on!"
This was not the first deserter they tortured.
Three days ago, the first wave of Xicheng deserters had already reached Wancheng.
But when asked why they could not resist for even a day, all the deserters answered that the Qin army had a demon fire that could not be extinguished.
Han Ling thought these deserters were dishonest and executed them all.
But as more and more deserters arrived in Wancheng, things became bizarre.
When asked about the reason for the destruction of the city, the first answer of all the deserters was that it was demon fire.
When seeing the flames, many deserters showed almost crazy fear.
The emotions of these deserters had a great impact on the Wancheng defenders.
Even before the Qin army arrived, people in Wancheng were already in panic!
Teng Fu thoughtfully said: "Perhaps the Qin army has mastered a new type of ordnance that is easy to draw fire."
"The soldiers could not see the whole picture and were frightened, so they exaggerated the fire several times."
"Xicheng County Lieutenant Chen Hefei is just a man with nothing to lose. He held 10,000 troops but could not stop the Qin army for a day. Maybe he suffered a loss from this fire."
"And since the soldiers have said so, let me prepare lunch in advance."
Han Ling shook his head: "It makes sense to pretend that it is true, but it is too ridiculous to say that it cannot be wiped out by pouring water."
"Being able to set the moat on fire is the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"If the fire can really ignite the moat, how should our army be on guard?"
Teng Fu said in a deep voice: "Our army doesn't know what the Qin army's fire starter is, but the Qin army must know."
"According to the soldiers, the Qin army used trebuchets to throw a large number of jars into the city before setting off the fire."
"Those jars may have been the source of the fire."
"Lieutenant Zhang, all the elite soldiers in the city who can ride and shoot will be transferred to the front army."
"I need you to lead the front army out of the city to ambush and attack the Qin army's supply camp."
"I don't care whether this battle is defeated or not, but Lieutenant Zhang must recapture some of the jars in the Qin Army's supply camp and capture some of the Qin Army's supply troops so that our army can investigate the enemy's situation."
Teng Fu saluted Zhang Chong: "Whether our army can defend the city wall until the reinforcements arrive depends entirely on Commander Zhang!"
Zhang Chong raised his hands solemnly: "If you are a lower-ranking official, you will definitely live up to your orders!"
Teng Fu said in a deep voice: "Give me another order to summon all the alchemists in the city."
"Select one stone of each kind from all the materials in the city and send them to the city wall."
"I don't believe that the fire can't be extinguished. It's just that we haven't learned the method yet."
"In that case, let's try one by one!"
"Preach to the whole city that our army will definitely extinguish the flames of the Qin army, and Korea will be victorious!"
In the yamen, all the subordinate officials raised their hands and shouted: "The Great Han Dynasty will be victorious!"
After boosting the morale of his subordinate officers, Teng Fu also left the yamen and personally supervised the defense of the city.
Tengfu didn't know whether his preparations would be useful in the face of the Qin army's flames.
But Tengfu understood that the army must be busy now. He was too busy to think too much and had no time and energy to think about the flames of the Qin army.
If people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team!
He was busy until the moon was dim, and Tengfu finally dragged his tired body back to his house.
However, when he was about to arrive at his house, a figure at the entrance of the alley attracted Tengfu's attention.
After pondering for a moment, Teng Fu dismissed his servants, dismounted from his horse, and walked into the alley with the hilt of his sword in hand.
"Brother Chen?"
Looking at Chen He standing in the alley, Teng Fu's eyes showed a hint of joy: "You are still alive!"
Chen He bowed his hands in shame: "Greetings to the false guard!"
If Chen He had not surrendered, he would not have been so sneaky even if he returned in defeat.
After all, no matter how miserable the defeat is, there is no greater guilt than surrender!
The first time Teng Fu saw Chen He, he knew that Chen He had surrendered.
Therefore, Tengfu did not address himself as county captain, but called Brother Chen directly.
At this moment, Tengfu didn't want to respond to such a courtesy, but just nodded: "It's great news that you are still alive."
"Don't say anything else. Let's have a drink tonight!"
Chen He cupped his hands and saluted again: "If Jiu Shou is willing, I would like to accompany Ji Shou to get drunk before resting."
"But not today."
"Someone is waiting for Jishou."
Tengfu finally frowned: "Chen He, you have already surrendered. Do you still want to persuade me to surrender to Qin?!"
Chen He sighed softly: "I am not here to persuade you to surrender, but to serve the thousands of Guizhou leaders in Wancheng."
"Does Tengjia Shou know how Xicheng fell?"
Tengfu shook his head: "I have had a headache for several days."
Chen He's face showed bitterness: "Flame!"
"It's like a flame coming from the Nine Netherworld!"
"That flame can burn anything. It can not only ignite the city wall, but also the moat."
"It cannot be quenched by pouring water, and it cannot be contained at all."
"In this battle, at least 30% of the houses in Xicheng were burned down, and countless people were killed by the flames!"
"I really don't want that kind of demonic fire to come to Wancheng again!"
Teng Fu had strong doubts about Chen He's words, but he asked thoughtfully: "The fire of Xicheng has been burning to this day?"
Chen He shook his head: "It will be destroyed the next day."
Teng Fu smiled: "This further strengthens my opinion."
"This fire can be extinguished! It just cannot be extinguished by water."
"As long as it's a fire that can be extinguished, there's nothing to fear."
Teng Fu bowed his hand to Chen He and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for sending back the news."
"I will definitely speak kindly to Brother Chen in front of the king and ask the king for a lighter punishment."
Chen He was not upset that he had spilled the beans, nor was he happy that Teng Fu was willing to help. He just sincerely persuaded:
"Then the fire can be extinguished. How many casualties will it take before the fire is extinguished?"
"Chen's understanding of that fire only ends here, but the Qin Army coach must know that fire very well."
"The commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, Lord Chang'an of the Qin State, led only a small army of soldiers and was waiting at Daguanpo, fifteen miles northwest of Wancheng."
"Fake defense means not saying surrender, but you can still see it!"
Teng Fu asked back: "That Lord Chang'an of the Qin State who is especially good at speaking and speaking, and used his words to seize my territory of hundreds of miles of Korea?"
Chen He said calmly: "He is only sixteen years old."
No matter how eloquent Ying Chenglong is, he is still only sixteen years old.
Are you afraid?
After Tengfu pondered for a moment, he finally said: "Lead the way!"
