Chapter 8 One Hundred Thousand Fires
"Captain, please get out of the way!"
"If we continue fighting like this, our mighty army will be wiped out!"
On the thick wall of Xiongzhou City, a young general with blood on his face spoke to Qin Kai, the Governor of Xiongzhou City, in a bitter tone.
"Zhuoer, Xiongzhou is the barrier of Dragon City. Once we get out of the way, the rebels can march straight in and go straight to Dragon City!"
Qin Kai put his hands behind his back and looked very determined.
Three days ago, a large-scale rebel army broke out in Guannei Prefecture. Many states and counties were captured without even responding.
Only Qin Kai, who was firmly entrenched in Xiongzhou, responded promptly and took all defensive measures before the rebels attacked the city.
However, the number of rebels was too large. Qin Kai visually estimated that there would be no less than 100,000 people, while the mighty army stationed in Xiongzhou City only had more than 7,000 people.
Relying on the strong defense of Xiongzhou City, they managed to survive for three days under the heavy attack day and night by more than 100,000 people.
"Commander, your Majesty is currently weak and incompetent. Even if we all die in Xiongzhou, no one will know about it!"
The young general's name is Qin Zhuo, the eldest son of Qin Kai. He has been full of talent since he was a child. At only twenty-four years old, his martial arts has reached the third level of metamorphosis. He is a rising star in the Qin military world.
"Qin Zhuo, shut up!"
Hearing this, Qin Kai was furious. He was an extremely traditional general at heart. He was loyal to his emperor and was loyal to his emperor. Such qualities had long been deeply engraved in his bones.
"Grand Governor, the Second Young Master has led a few casual riders and rushed out of the encirclement!"
At this moment, a mighty military captain trotted all the way to the city wall and whispered in Qin Kai's ear.
"Okay, now that Ying'er has broken out, we only need to hold on for a few days before the imperial army will arrive!"
After hearing what the captain said, Qin Kai's expression improved slightly. The second young master the captain mentioned was his second son Qin Ying.
Qin Kai, who was familiar with military affairs, naturally understood that with the three melons and two dates in his hands, it would be a matter of time before the city was defeated, so while holding on, he recruited people who dared to die to form a help mission.
His second son Qin Ying, who was only sixteen years old, was also among the delegation seeking help.
When he asked Qin Ying to join the mission, everyone in the mighty army shed tears.
"Father, you...how can you let your second brother, he is only sixteen years old!"
Qin Zhuo did not know that Qin Ying had joined the aid mission, but Qin Kai had deliberately ordered it to be concealed.
Because he knew his eldest son too well. If he knew that Qin Ying had joined the mission for help, his eldest son would probably overthrow the entire Xiongzhou City.
Qin Zhuo's eyes were red at this time, and his tone was somewhat stuttering.
He didn't expect that his father would actually ask his second brother, who was only sixteen years old, to join the Lao Shizi mission for help.
"Because he is my Qin Kai's son!"
Qin Kai, who was dressed in military uniform, said this in a deep voice and left quickly.
Looking at his father's back, Qin Zhuo felt for the first time that his father was so cold-blooded and pushed his son into a pit of fire for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the country.
"well"
"Major General, please be considerate of the Commander-in-Chief!"
"The general knew that when he sent the second young master to the mission for help!"
"The circles under the Governor's eyes are all red."
The mighty military captain sighed, then looked at Qin Zhuo and spoke in a deep voice.
…………
Two days later, a young man covered in blood fell outside Dragon City.
Several Northern soldiers on duty quickly ran over to take a look.
When they saw the envelope held tightly in the young man's hand, their expressions changed drastically.
After they looked at each other, they helped the young man up.
At this time, in the study room, Qin Yuzheng and Li Ru were discussing and agreed on the matter.
"Your Majesty, Qi Cheng, this old fox, has left no trace behind."
Li Ru, dressed in white, smiled helplessly.
"Eighty percent of it was Hei Bingtai's fault. I can't think of anyone other than them who could be so generous."
Qin Yu, who was sitting on the master's seat in the upper study room, snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, urgent report!"
At this moment, a rapid voice suddenly sounded outside the upper study room.
Qin Yu frowned, then stood up and walked out the door.
Li Ru, dressed in white with a thoughtful look on his face, followed Qin Yu.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
A soldier from the Northern Army outside the door took out an envelope that was stained with blood on the surface and handed it to Qin Yu respectfully.
Qin Yu didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw the big words on the envelope, his expression suddenly changed.
It was clearly written on it that Xiongzhou was in urgent need.
He quickly opened the envelope and read the letter word for word.
After a long time, Qin Yu said quietly: "Qin Kaizhen is a loyal minister, who is the other person who sent the letter?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have placed him in the hospital."
The soldiers of the Northern Army responded quickly.
"Okay, you go down first, remember this matter is not allowed to be announced!"
"promise!"
After the soldiers from the North bowed their hands and saluted, they quickly left the upper study room.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Li Ru, dressed in white, asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Xiongzhou is surrounded by more than 100,000 rebels."
Qin Yu's face was extremely solemn, and his two sword eyebrows almost formed the character Sichuan.
Even if he is stupid, he still knows how important Xiongzhou is to Longcheng and the entire Great Qin. To put it bluntly, once Xiongzhou falls, Longcheng will not be able to survive alone.
Hearing this, Li Ru's expression also changed. Through his understanding in the past few days, he naturally understood the importance of Xiongzhou mentioned by Qin Yu.
Xiongzhou is the barrier of Dragon City. Once it falls, the rebels can march straight into Dragon City.
"Your Majesty, please send troops quickly."
“There is no room for failure in Xiongzhou!”
After figuring out the link, Li Ru quickly asked Qin Yu to send troops to support him quickly.
"This time I am preparing to conquer in person!"
Qin Yu, with far-away eyes, spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, Confucianism is willing to accompany you!"
