Chapter 1026 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey
It was rainy in the south, and the drizzle fell again at dusk. When night fell, the soldiers of the Blackstone Empire lit torches, illuminating the entire Yucheng square. On the square were thousands of unarmed Yucheng civilians, each with angry faces, cursing at the army of the Blackstone Empire.
"Tu tuk"
Amid the sound of horse hooves, a familiar flag appeared in the eyes of everyone. It was the flag of the country of Yihe. At the invitation of Lu Yan, Qin Yi, Qin Huan and his son must come to appreciate the massacre.
Qin Yi was already very old. His originally gray head was now completely white and his head was soft. Even the pine hairpin was almost impossible to wrap around. He brought not many people, but only two ten thousand men and more than a dozen generals of the level of the thousand men.
"Major, be careful."
A chief of ten thousand men carefully helped Qin Yi off his horse. When Qin Yi's boots fell on the rainy ground, he staggered and almost couldn't stand steadily.
"Father!" Qin Huan hurriedly held it, his face pale.
"The general is here!" Lu Yan laughed and walked forward, bowing: "We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Qin Yi glanced at the civilians in the square and the elite Haishan Army who were waiting not far away. He had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart and said, "Master Lu Yan asked us to come here and don't know what instructions?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no order." Lu Yan waved his hand and smiled, "Yucheng has blocked us for many days. Now Yucheng is broken, and the soldiers of my Black Stone Empire fight bravely. I, the commander, must also reward them. For real warriors, there is no reward more appropriate than massacre. These people in Yucheng are stubborn and try to fight us to the end. Hum, I want them to know the consequences of the mantis arm being a chariot. Yiheguo is our ally, naturally, to come to watch the ceremony. Please give me guidance on whether the iron cavalry formation of our Haishan Army is still flawed."
As he said that, Lu Yan raised his arm and shouted in a low voice: "Prepare to rush to the formation!"
In the distance, cavalry covered in armor were on their horses one after another, with square shields standing up, spears like a forest, while the horses of Xiongjun stepped on their front hooves, as if they were looking forward to a massacre.
"rush!"
Lu Yan suddenly dropped his arm.
The sound of horse hooves roared, and the blades of spears and swords flashed coldly under the fire, making people feel like they were in the harsh winter in spring.
Among the crowd, the civilians were in a panic. Suddenly, one of the people wearing low-level civil servants' costumes shouted in the direction of Qin Yi, Qin Huan and others: "Master, help me! Master, I am an official of Yihe Country, I am Zhang Jun from Bailing City Duwei Mansion. Master, help me, please help me."
Zhang Jun seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, rushed towards Qin Yi, Qin Huan and others madly. How prosperous the country of Yihe was once, Qin Yi, the general governor, would definitely save his life.
Unfortunately, Qin Yi turned aside and couldn't bear to see the scene in front of him.
"Back back!"
A group of heavy infantry holding shields shook Zhang Jun and others with shields, and even slashed them around with broad swords.
"Major! Major" Zhang Jun's face began to pile up with despair. With a scream, his left arm was cut off by a heavy infantryman, and his blood was dripping. After several steps, he trembled all over. A sharp blade of a cavalry appeared in his chest. It was a black iron cavalry rifle used by the heavy cavalry of the Black Stone Empire. The cavalry quickly rode his horse and pulled it out. For a moment, blood and internal organs splattered.
"thump"
Zhang Jun knelt softly on the ground, but his eyes were always looking towards Qin Yi and Qin Huan until he lay down straight and became a corpse that was gradually cooling down.
Qin Yi looked at the dead Zhang Jun, his face calm, and there seemed to be no joy or sorrow. Qin Huan was clenching his fists tightly. He was so young that he could not bear such humiliation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Lu Yan, these civilians are just unarmed farmers, craftsmen, etc. Why do you need to kill them all? Please show mercy to the commander."
"Your Highness is pleading for this group of rioters?" Lu Yan looked at him and smiled faintly: "Is it?"
"Think about it, right?" Qin Huan whispered.
"Young Master is here!" Lu Yan sneered: "Young Master was so kind when he was half of the country? I'm afraid there wasn't it. As the saying goes, kindness does not control the soldiers. Your Highness will not misunderstand such a simple truth. The people of the Qin Empire are like weeds all over the ground, and are tenacious. If they are not uprooted now, they will take roots and sprout soon, and they will smel iron and cast soldiers. They will almost be enemies of our Black Stone Empire. Your Highness does not need to plead for me, Lu Yan, I, will have a sense of responsibility."
"But"
"Stop talking, unless Your Highness Young Master wants to be one of them." Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The general is a master of Lingnan. Although I, Lu Yan, have a little ruthless, I still want to leave a bloodline for the Qin family in Lingnan. I hope Your Highness Young Master will do it himself and know what I should do and what I shouldn't do."
Qin Huan was stunned for a moment and stopped talking. Lu Yan could do it, but he was not ordinary ruthless.
At this time, Baili Yan, the counselor next to Lu Yan, walked forward in a black robe, and bowed respectfully to Qin Yi: "At Baili Yan, come to see the capital of Yiheguo."
Qin Yi nodded: "Sir, don't be too polite. Just say anything you have to give me."
"Then I won't go around the corner. The Haishan Army attacked Yucheng for several days, and suffered losses of soldiers and generals. The soldiers all need to rest. Therefore, the commander asked the commander to lead the 100,000 troops of Yihe Kingdom to open the way forward, and rushed to Shangyang City in a flash. He captured Shangyang City without Xiang Yu's preparations. This is a great achievement."
Qin Yi couldn't help but look cold: "Mr. Baili is planning to let our Yihe country's army attack Shangyang City first?"
"That's right."
Baili Yan smiled faintly: "But the commander-in-chief doesn't have to worry. The more than 100,000 troops of the Black Stone Empire arrived later and pushed the commander-in-chief in the rear. If the commander-in-chief cannot conquer Shangyang City, we will take turns to replace you."
Qin Yi felt mixed feelings in his heart, and it felt like he was being roasted on fire. Baili Yan wanted to kill someone with a knife, but he had no choice but to be controlled by others step by step and was completely unable to do so.
After a while, Qin Yi clasped his fists and said, "I respect the general orders, but I hope that the sir can prepare all the food, equipment, and war horses that the country needs."
"Please rest assured, you will be ready. The Haishan Army will leave early tomorrow morning, so please lead the army to attack immediately. The soldiers are the gods, so you can't give Xiang Yu too much preparation time."
"yes"
Qin Yi's face was pale, his old body was a little hunched, and there was no trace of the momentum of Qin Yi, the former capital of the Yihe Kingdom.
The sound of killing and screams gradually stopped, and the five thousand people in Yucheng became sacrifices under the butcher's knife. For the Black Stone Emperor team, which is known for its fierceness and cruelty, it was good that they did not eat people without food and clothing. As for the crying of women everywhere in the city, the robbery shouting was even more deaf.
Yucheng and Shangyangcheng are only a hundred miles apart, and even if the infantry raids a day and a night, they can arrive.
Qin Yi didn't know what the fate of waiting for the final force of Yiheguo was, but at this moment, he regretted it.
I regret not killing my brother Qin Jin at the beginning, and that I should not have divided the world.
But if you choose only once, you can't retreat. Qin Yi knew that he and Yi and the Kingdom had no way out, so he could only move forward. Even if there were cliffs ahead, he would be blamed for his own fault.
To the east of Shangyang City, the Blackstone Empire army in Leh was continuously speeding towards Shangyang City. The cavalry in the front had already set up camp less than five miles away from Shangyang City. The front was ahead and advancing alone was originally a taboo in military strategists, but this powerful brigade was ruled by Fu Yun of the Blackstone Empire Dragon Knights. The dozens of dragon knights hovering in the air were enough to make the Qin Empire defenders in Shangyang City frightened.
Xiang Yu ordered to stay in the door and wait for help.
So Fu Yun could only wait, waiting for Lu Yan's army to join forces with him. After all, if he attacked Shangyang City alone, Fu Yun was not so arrogant. Xiang Yu and others in the city were not vegetarians, and no one was a person who had been in the wind and rain in the war for nearly ten years.
At dusk and sunset, the entire Fuyun camp seemed to be stained with a layer of blood. The dragon knights had already settled the dragon in the camp, and outside the camp, there were endless supplies, which were plundered from nearby cities and villages, including food, livestock and even living people. For the Black Stone Army, living people were also a kind of food and grass, and they were also moving food and grass.
"Report!"
The commander rushed in: "Mr. Fu Yun, we caught a memorial work and claimed to be from Lanyan City."
"Lanyan City?"
Fu Yun put down the chopsticks that were eating and said, "Lanyan City is thousands of miles away. Have they learned about the situation here?"
"I don't know, but this master said he wanted to meet the master and brought a very important letter."
"Oh? Bring it in."
"yes!"
Not long after, a man with a deer-headed rat's eyes and tied up in a big way, immediately fell to the ground: "General, please don't kill me, the villain is here to be an envoy!"
"Empress?" Fu Yun couldn't help laughing: "There is an ugly messenger like you in the world who is as timid as a mouse? Come on, I'll be pushed to kill you."
"Wait a minute, General, let's talk about it after reading the letter!"
"Hmph, present the letter!"
Letter paper is a kind of rice paper with a faint fragrance. In the scholar world of Lanyan City, many people use this rice paper made of special peach wood, but the price is too expensive, so ordinary people cannot afford it.
There are several lines of words written on the rice paper, but the title is "The Black Stone Emperor Team in charge" and the signature is "Generals of the Congress of the Great Qin Empire".
