The first thousand two hundred and seventy-five chapters: what to kill
Jiang Hui sat on the broken wall, looking at the village that was almost about to turn into ruins with melancholy. The extremely critical situation that day is still vivid in my mind.
Even though there was a high wall as a cover, the Qi army suddenly became crazy and broke through the high wall regardless of casualties and attacked the village. The moment they went crazy was when Bao An killed the tooth general with a crossbow.
Jiang Hui was ecstatic at that time. In his thoughts, the enemy's chief general was finished, so the remaining Qi soldiers would inevitably be defeated. Deafening cheers burst out everywhere on the wall when they immediately evacuated.
At first, everything seemed to be as expected by Jiang Hui. Qi Jun, who was attacking the village, suddenly stopped and became quiet. They turned their heads and looked at the general who was almost missing on the upper half. The man was shot by a powerful crossbow and flew out of the horse, lying like a broken pocket in a green crop, with his lower body still twitching.
After a moment of silence, all the Qi soldiers suddenly screamed in unison. The scream was filled with fear and then anger. Then they turned their heads and looked at the village, and their eyes changed completely.
If they had a game attitude before, their eyes were now full of blood and red
At that moment, Jiang Hui knew it was bad
Then there was a crazy, completely unruly attack. Later generations climbed up the corpses of their predecessors, one after another, and the feather arrows behind them poured desperately on the wall, regardless of whether the arrows they shot would shoot their companions to kill them.
They attacked the wall, and once there was no cover from the wall, the people in the village would not be their opponents. Even though most of the village were Qin people, they were specially arranged in these villages after selection. However, in front of the well-trained killing machines, their blood bravery was just to delay their resistance for a longer time.
Death came without surprise, not one or two, but batch after batch.
If the garrison from Xiangxi had not arrived in advance, the village would have been gone
After several years of struggle, Jianghui has now turned into a deserted village, looking at the ruins, and she was crying without tears. Several intact houses are now covered with wounded people. One is seriously injured and dying, and the other is slightly injured. The report documents to the county have been sent over. I just hope that the imperial physician stationed in the county can come over quickly or save a few people.
It's really unlucky!
"Old Fan, this time, I'm so fucking sorry!" Bao An, who was wrapped like a big rice dumpling, limped to him with a wooden fork and wanted to sit beside him. He squatted his butt, but couldn't sit down. Jiang Hui dragged a big box from the side and pushed it under his butt, so he let him sit down.
"If I had known that person's identity was so important, I would never have shot that crossbow. If I didn't shoot him to death, those Qi people would not have gone crazy." Bao An looked of guilty on his face. After finally asking the identity of the dead general from the captive soldiers, he regretted that he had died in this village for several years. He was very familiar with everyone here, but now, most of them have died, including men and women.
"Well, there's nothing to say, this is fate!" Jiang Hui sighed: "We are originally a life-threatening person. If we didn't come to Xiangxi, we might have starved to death and froze to death. Now, at least we have enjoyed several years of blessing before our death, and lived a good life that we would never have dreamed of in a few years! Lao Bao, nothing, who would have thought that such a thing would happen? I know, you don't think about it either."
Hearing Jiang Hui say this, Bao An was even more sad. He lowered his head and started to whimper, "I laughed a few days ago, and was still talking about the harvest this year, and was still talking about the purchase of some things. He was going to marry a wife, but now it is all gone, all gone."
"If you die, you will die!" Jiang Hui stood up and shook his head hard: "Old Bao, do you say that we have killed a royal family in Qi State, what reward will the county magistrate give us?"
"Ah?" Bao An looked at Jiang Hui in surprise: "It's now, what reward are you thinking about?"
"Why don't you think that those who die are dead are dead and can never survive again. Those who live still have to continue. Those who die can earn some things for those who live, and that death is worth it. The living will remember them, burn incense and paper for them on their death day, and add a pair of chopsticks to them during the New Year's greetings to their relatives." Jiang Hui said loudly.
"I don't know." Bao An lowered his head: "If an ordinary general was killed, there would definitely be a lot of rewards, but now if he killed a royal family in Qi, it would be hard to say whether it was a blessing or a disaster."
"Why is this happening? Is that royal family worthless? Then why are those Qi people going crazy?" Jiang Hui widened his eyes
"It's not like this, it's because this person is too important, and it may trigger a war between the two countries. So I said earlier, maybe we've gotten into trouble. You didn't see Xiangxi's garrison coming, and never left again. You have been digging trenches outside and building low walls to set up defenses in the past two days?" Bao An said
Jiang Hui looked at the place outside the village where he was already full of faces. Some soldiers were waving their iron ropes and doing a happy job. He was indeed preparing for a big battle and was immediately depressed.
"Damn it, people's lives are different. If a person like this dies, it will trigger a war between the two countries. I think they are going to fight!"
"That's it, but this is an introduction. This introduction was triggered by us, to be precise, I was triggered by us." Bao Anduo
"Don't say that. If it weren't for you, we homeless men, knew nothing about fighting. We wouldn't have been able to cross over safely in the past few years. Let's talk about it first. This is the fate of Bao Bao. Let's go together and see how many of them are. I'm afraid they won't last a few days!" Jiang Hui reached out to support Bao An, and the two of them slowly walked down the slope and down the high wall.
What happened later seemed to confirm Bao An's view. More and more troops were transferred from Taoyuan County to the surrounding area of Xiangxi, and countless supplies were transported by caravans one by one. The atmosphere in Xiangxi gradually became tense. At this time, even the slowest people could feel that a war had begun to gradually begin.
Tenth day after the incident, the village finally welcomed two big men, Ben Kuan, the county magistrate of Taoyuan County, and Wang Yun, the general of Taoyuan County, came together.
Jiang Hui and Bao An knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, the biggest official Jiang Hui had ever seen in his life was just the county magistrate of Xiangxi County. Bao An used to be an ordinary soldier. He was able to come to the village to be a military officer because he was old enough. It would be good if he could not look at the officer level at the lieutenant from afar. But today, when the Ming Dynasty's chief officials and the garrison general stood in front of them, they were still frightened.
What happened during this period seems to indicate that they have indeed caused a big disaster. This planned war between Qi Ming was really caused by them.
I don't know what he would face, Bao An was a little better, but Jiang Hui was very scared. The officials he had met in Qin before were not arrogant and did not treat them as human beings? This is their honest situation. If he made a mistake, he would not have to mention the consequences.
Now it seems that I have caused a big disaster
He was trembling slightly, not because he was afraid of death, but now he has a wife and a child. His happy days have just begun. Why didn't he want to die in the cruel battle that day? It was because of this that he burst out with a ruthless spirit that he had never had before. There were more than a dozen soldiers who died under him, and even several swords were cut off. At the end of the war, what he was holding in his hand was not just an axe he picked up from there.
A hand covered with calluses pulled the two of them up from the ground, and what came to his ears was a hearty laughter, "General Wang, this is a great contribution to killing Bao An and Jiang Hui of the Qi royal family on the spot. Come on, come and get to know these two heroes. The two are Bao An and the ones are Jiang Hui?"
Jiang Hui couldn't believe his ears, and even more so that his hands were called calloused like him were actually a high-ranking official. He stared at the hands in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was really the governor of Taoyuan County Ben Kuan, but just now the Xiangxi County Magistrate Huang Shanglian paid a visit to defend the Hou was indeed called this.
He didn't react, but Bao An, who had been a soldier for many years, was much stronger in calming skills. Hearing Ben Kuan's question, he quickly bowed and said, "Good county magistrate, the villain is Bao An, he is Jiang Hui."
Ben Kuan laughed again and patted his shoulders hard. Jiang Hui could feel the strength of the palm. Lord Ben's hand was so strong that he looked like a person who often worked.
"Excellent, amazing, General Wang, shoot down a general with one crossbow. There are not many talents under your command who have this ability, right?"
Wang Yun smiled and said, "It's indeed good, but I still took a surprise advantage. However, it's hard for you to shoot so accurately. Now our army rarely uses your skills. I'm afraid it's going to be abandoned. But the governor of Ben County. If you want to talk about it, I admire Jiang Hui even more!"
He looked at Jiang Hui: "Looking at the military newspaper, you killed more than a dozen Qi soldiers alone, and cut off a few swords. Not bad, do you think I would be a whistle leader under my command? Well, I have not brought many people, only 500 people."
Jiang Hui was stunned when he heard this and looked up at Wang Yun: "General, I, we have caused trouble!"
"What trouble did you make?" Ben Kuan asked strangely on the side.
"We killed a Qi royal family, which triggered a war between the two countries!" Jiang Hui whispered
