Chapter 219
Hearing what the deputy general said, the military advisor standing next to him couldn't help but blush.
"General, you don't need to say anything. We swear to be with Tongzhou City. Even if I am the only one left tomorrow, I will stand in front of the gate of Tongzhou City and fall down."
After hearing what the military advisor said, the lieutenant stretched out his hand and wiped his face hard. Then he patted the opponent's shoulder, turned around and looked at the soldiers not far away, preparing to lead them off.
As a result, before he could give his order, he heard the scout on the city wall saying loudly to them: "Come back, come back! General Qin and the others are back! I have seen General Qin and his horses.
Yes! There is still our flag on it! They are back, and many people are back!"
Hearing the scout's words, the deputy general jumped up on the spot. He ran to the city wall in a few steps, stood next to the scout, and tried hard to look in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
Because before Qin Shenxing left, he was afraid that their night attack would fail. The imperial army took advantage of this and disguised themselves as themselves, tricking the defenders into opening the city gate.
Therefore, before leaving, he specially made up a secret code with the defenders who continued to stay in Tongzhou City. He told them that they could only open the city gate if they saw those who came back and gave the corresponding secret code.
After seeing the code given by Qin Shenxing just now, the deputy general was extremely excited.
He did not order the soldiers standing downstairs to open the city gate. Instead, he quickly jumped down from the city wall. He opened the city gate himself and welcomed Qin Shenxing and others in.
Qin Shenxing's assault was very successful. Although some rebels were injured, there were no deaths.
After Qin Shenxing dismounted, the lieutenant hurriedly squeezed over. He looked at Qin Shenxing eagerly and asked anxiously: "General Qin, how are you? Was this night attack successful?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qin Shenxing to speak, he spoke again, "Look at my words, regardless of success or failure, General Qin, are you injured this time? How do you feel? The original wound is still there
Okay? The military doctor said that if your wound opens again, it will be even more difficult to heal."
Hearing the words of the deputy general, Qin Shenxing nodded and said: "Today's operation went very smoothly. I didn't expect that the people in the imperial army were not even prepared at all.
When we passed by, they were still drinking and chatting there, preparing to rest. We first made some noise in the camp, causing them to cause chaos, and then, taking advantage of the chaos, we released their horses."
Upon hearing Qin Shenxing's words, the lieutenant's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was full of yearning for the scene at that time.
When Qin Shenxing said he was going to attack at night, this lieutenant wanted to go with Qin Shenxing.
However, Qin Shenxing told them that there were only two of the senior generals left in Tongzhou City, and they could not both stay and leave at the same time. At least one must stay behind to prevent the imperial army from making a sneak attack in the middle of the night.
After being persuaded by Qin Shenxing, the lieutenant could only stay unwillingly.
However, although he himself was not involved, he was naturally happy for his colleagues to complete the task so smoothly.
As a result, before he was happy, a soldier next to him who went out with Qin Shenxing couldn't help but said: "That's not all. General Qin is very good at archery. The one in the imperial army
When the general tried to control the situation, General Qin shot him dead on the spot with an arrow.
The general died, and the imperial army immediately became chaotic. We rushed back and forth and eliminated many enemies."
Hearing the words of this private soldier, the deputy general became even more excited at this time. "What about this matter? This is a good thing, this is a good thing. The generals of the imperial army are gone. They will definitely not have the intention to attack us tomorrow.
Tongzhou City.
The scouts we sent out earlier also came back tonight. They said they had told the leader about the situation in Tongzhou City. The leader is sending reinforcements back and they will arrive the day after tomorrow. We only need to hold on for two more days and we can wait for the reinforcements.
, when the time comes, we will all be able to survive.”
Upon hearing the deputy general's words, the people present immediately cheered.
When facing the imperial army, they naturally fight bravely and are not afraid of death, but if they can survive, who doesn't want to live?
Not to mention, relying on their contribution to defending Tongzhou City. After gathering with the large army, these people can at least live in a hundred households, and their future life will be better than before.
Just as Qin Shenxing thought, the next day, the remaining members of the imperial army had no intention of attacking Tongzhou City, and instead huddled in the camp for a day.
Later, probably their scouts also got the news that the rebel reinforcements were about to arrive in Tongzhou City. That night, these people packed their bags and left the vicinity of Tongzhou City.
After the scouts reported back and all the imperial troops evacuated, Qin Shenxing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, cheers resounded throughout Tongzhou City.
Probably because the people of Tongzhou City defended Tongzhou City together with the rebels. It turned out that there were still some strangers between the two parties, and at this time the relationship suddenly became closer.
Seeing them hugging each other and cheering, Qin Shenxing couldn't help but smile.
As a result, before the smile on his face could be taken away, due to long-term fatigue and intense fighting, the fatigue that had been suppressed, after finally relaxing, he could no longer suppress it and fell down directly.
.
"General! General Qin!"
"Military doctor! Military doctor, come quickly! Please, the general has fainted, come here quickly."
"General Qin, what's wrong with you? Don't stand around here! Get the military doctor over quickly."
"Xiao Zhou, you are strong. Don't just watch. Quickly carry General Qin back to the house and let the military doctor go directly."
"General! Just hold on, the military doctor will be here soon. Just hold on!"
Because Qin Shenxing suddenly fainted, there was a sudden chaos in the vicinity. The military doctor who was dressing the wounds of the wounded was carried directly to the yard where Qin Shenxing was currently located by several of Qin Shenxing's soldiers.
When they first heard that Qin Shenxing had fainted, the military doctor was still very worried.
Don't think Qin Shenxing is still active today, guarding the city in Tongzhou. A few days ago, he took his soldiers to the imperial army's camp for a night attack.
But in fact, Qin Shenxing's injuries in previous battles were not minor, and he did not rest well during this period. The military doctor told his colleagues more than once that if an ordinary person was injured as seriously as Qin Shenxing,
, maybe even unable to get off the ground.
It's hard to believe that Qin Shen, who has reached this level, can still defend the city vigorously.
Now that he heard that Qin Shenxing had fainted, while the military doctor was worried, he actually had an idea in his mind that this was indeed the case.
Even before he came to see Qin Shenxing, the military doctor was afraid. When he went in, he saw a man who was no longer breathing.
It's just that the military doctor didn't expect that Qin Shenxing's physical fitness was really that good. Under such circumstances, the reason why he fainted was just because he was too tired and fell asleep at this time.
After hearing the words of this military doctor, the soldiers who were in chaos secretly admired Qin Shenxing, but also felt a little dumbfounded.
Probably because he finally let go of the things he had been worrying about, Qin Shenxing slept very soundly. Qin Shenxing did not wake up until the reinforcements entered Tongzhou City.
At the beginning, these people in Tongzhou City could still pretend that he didn't have a good rest.
However, when he still didn't wake up on the morning of the third day, the people in Tongzhou City couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
No matter how the military doctor assured him that Qin Shenxing was like this because he was too tired and relied on sleep to rest, they didn't believe it.
After the reinforcements arrived, they brought other military doctors over. After several diagnoses, they all came up with the same results. These people were relieved.
This time, Qin Shenxing's contribution to the preservation of Tongzhou City was really great. So much so that the leader of the rebel army, after finishing other things, made a special trip to Tongzhou to visit Qin Shenxing, who was still recovering from his injuries.
Seeing Qin Shenxing, who had been recovering from his injuries for more than ten days and was still a little pale, the leader thought for a while and said to him.
"I remember you once said that you have other relatives in your family. You haven't mentioned it before because we occupy a small area. We usually run around here and there and rarely stay in one place for too long.
And at that time, we were not sure whether we could win the battle with the imperial army. We were afraid that after bringing our relatives over, if we failed, they would be implicated by us.
Now, in the battle with the imperial army, we have barely gained the upper hand. Although I can't guarantee you what the final outcome will be. But at least, we have a pretty good chance of winning.
I think this way, you are still recovering from your injuries. Even after you recover, I don’t want to send you to the battlefield again in a short period of time. It just so happens that the people in Tongzhou City recognize you very much, so I want you to go to the battlefield first.
Tongzhou City settled down and tidied up Tongzhou City.
In this way, you will have to stay here for at least four or five months. I am thinking about sending a few people to your hometown to pick up your relatives. You will be happy to have them accompany you.
Can this injury heal faster?"
Hearing the leader's words, Qin Shenxing was very happy that he could think so much for himself.
He has not seen his relatives for more than two years. If he said he missed them, he would definitely be lying.
Even after the leader finished speaking, Qin Shenxing was very moved.
However, after hesitating for a while, Qin Shenxing finally shook his head and said to the leader, "Let's forget it? Leader, you also said that I can't stay here for too long. Take them over and let's reunite."
It won't be long before we have to separate.
To put it bluntly, the job we are doing now is to put our heads in the waistband of our pants. Maybe when I go to the battlefield, I will not be able to come back. Rather than letting them come over and worry about me all day long, it is better
Let them live a peaceful and stable life in their hometown.
Now, there has been no news from me for more than two years, and my family may have thought that I was dead. If one day, we can really win, I will go home to pick them up.
If I really stay on the battlefield one day, it will save them from feeling sorry for me again."
After hearing Qin Shenxing's words, those present felt a little uncomfortable.
Not only Qin Shenxing, they are also facing this situation now. Whether they are married or not, their families are very worried about them every time before going to the battlefield.
Looking at the eyes of their loved ones at home, they felt sad but had to leave.
Therefore, they understand Qin Shenxing's thoughts very well. But understanding is understanding, and some things that should be said still have to be said.
"Actually, I asked you to bring your family members over, not only so that you can recuperate more peacefully, but also for their safety.
Before, you were just an inconspicuous young general in our rebel army. Those arrogant generals in the imperial army may not necessarily notice you. Your not contacting your family is the greatest protection for them.
But things are different now. You only led 8,000 people to defend Tongzhou City, which can be regarded as becoming famous in one battle. If I remember correctly, before you joined our rebel army, you were forcibly recruited by the imperial court.
If the court wants to investigate, they won't be able to investigate the situation inside your home. By then, people in your family may be in danger."
Hearing the leader's words, Qin Shenxing's eyes showed a bit of smile, "It's okay, anyway, I always gave a false name. My family has moved away from the place where we have been living a long time ago. They
You shouldn’t be able to find me here.”
Hearing Qin Shenxing's words, the leader finally couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Shenxing helplessly, "You, you, you are obviously not old, why are you so thoughtful?"
Well, in this way, your family will be safe.
Okay, since you already know what's going on, I won't say anything more. Recuperate well. I'll wait for you to come back and be my vanguard general after you recover."
This was the leader's promise to Qin Shenxing that he would be promoted in the future. However, Qin Shenxing really didn't care about this. He just smiled and expressed his gratitude to the leader and stopped talking about this topic.
The leader usually has a lot of things to do. If Qin Shenxing hadn't directly improved the reputation of their rebel army this time, he wouldn't have been able to come here.
After saying a few words to Qin Shenxing, he let Qin Shenxing continue to recover here and left.
