Chapter 830
Holding a halberd, Qin Qiong straddled the horse and looked around, but saw that the entire barracks had subconsciously quieted down. The dragon-seeking army was surrounded by the Shanhai City imperial guards, and there was no chance of winning.
More importantly, the news of my lord's betrayal of Shanhai City has spread in the military camp. The army has no fighting spirit, the general has no fighting spirit, and was raided by the imperial guards and imprisoned, so there is no morale in the army.
Even if Qin Qiong forced the fight at this time, I'm afraid not many soldiers would follow him desperately.
When Qin Qiong saw this, he sighed in his heart. He had a vague premonition that no matter whether the lord betrayed or not, from today onwards, Xunlong City would be removed from the wilderness.
As a veteran who has witnessed the growth of Xunlong City all the way, Qin Qiong is really in a complicated mood.
At this moment, Huo Qubing came down to the central army tent surrounded by his personal guards. Along the road, whether it was the imperial guards or the soldiers of the dragon-seeking army, they all consciously gave way.
That is the fear of God will come from the heart.
When Lu Bu and other generals saw this, they got off their horses one by one, not daring to make any mistake. Even Qin Qiong dismounted unconsciously, looking at Huo Qubing with complicated expressions.
The name of General Hussars has shocked the past and present.
Huo Qubing was still so heroic and extraordinary. He dismounted gracefully, came to Qin Qiong, and said: "The general has a favor in Shanhai City. Your majesty has said that there is no need to force the general to make a decision immediately. When our army takes Xunlong City, the truth will come out." After that, the general will make his own decision."
"..."
Qin Qiong was silent. He didn't expect that he was seconded to Shanhai City a few years ago to teach Shanhai City's cavalry troops the halberd technique, and Shanhaigong remembered it in his heart.
Huo Qubing went on to say: "Before that, I have to trouble the general to restrain the troops and wait for the news in the camp." Huo Qubing said it very tactfully, giving Qin Qiong enough face.
Qin Qiong had nothing to say, nodded dejectedly, clasped his fists and said: "The generals of the defeated army will only be dealt with by adults."
Huo Qubing smiled and didn't care.
With Qin Qiong admitting defeat, the Xunlong Army was taken down.
Huo Qubing arranged for Lu Bu's army to guard the barracks, disarm the soldiers, and put them under "house arrest" on the spot. Time was urgent, Huo Qubing didn't delay any longer, he rectified his troops and led Ma Chao's army to kill Xunlong City.
If you don't win the Dragon City, there are still variables.
*************
Xunlong City, City Lord's Mansion.
Ten minutes after the Imperial Guard entered the camp of the Dragon-seeking Legion, a carrier pigeon flew from afar and landed on the loft, bringing an urgent battle report from the front line.
There was only one line in the letter: The Imperial Guards of Shanhai City suddenly attacked, it is critical! ! !
When Xunlong Dianxue received the letter from Fei Ge, his face turned pale instantly, he was stunned on the spot, and muttered to himself: "Is it exposed so soon? No, I have to notify Xiongba and them immediately!"
The sudden change made Xunlong's Dian acupoint flustered, the hand holding the pen was trembling faintly, and a little bit of ink was sprinkled on the letter paper.
I had to rewrite it twice before I finished writing the distress letter.
Just as he was searching for the dragon's acupuncture point to ask someone to send the letter, the guard outside the door ran in and said, "My lord, a large-scale riot suddenly broke out in the city, and many places in the city were on fire."
"Click!"
The letter in Xunlong Dianxue's hand fell to the ground, and he looked dazed. He didn't even need to think about it, the arsonist must be the secret agent of Shanhai City.
"This is simply a premeditated attack."
Now that the situation is urgent, Xunlong can't think too much about the acupoints. He said to the guards: "Send this letter first. Order the city guards to cooperate with the government officials to maintain order in the city. Any troublemaker will be killed without mercy. At the same time, order the guards The regiment assembled urgently at the City Lord's Mansion without any delay."
After a pause, Xunlong tapped the acupoints and continued: "Order the garrison brigades of each prefecture to gather in Xunlong City immediately."
"promise!"
The guard turned and left.
Listening to the hustle and bustle from time to time in the city, Xunlong Dianquan is like an ant on a hot pot, walking around in the study room, but he doesn't know how to deal with it.
If the imperial guards of Shanhai City really rushed into the city, they would definitely not be able to defend it with the Imperial Guards and the City Guards. As for the local garrison brigade, it is just doing its best and obeying the destiny.
His only savior now is [Yanhuang League].
"I hope those guys can keep their word this time." After being played by Xiongba once, Xunlong's acupuncture point perception for [Yanhuangmeng] is extremely poor.
The family background is wrong, after all, they are not from the same way.
Thinking of this, Xunlong Dianxue returned to his seat and wrote a letter. He wants to urgently contact his allies in Southern Fujian Province, calling on everyone to fight against the invasion of Shanhai City.
In desperation, he searched for dragon acupuncture points but forgot how the Imperial Guards of Shanhai City suddenly appeared in Fuyong County.
…………
Just when Xunlong's acupuncture point was trying his best, thrilling assassinations were staged in Xunlong City.
First, the post station was attacked. Although the city guards rushed over in time, the scene was still chaotic, making it impossible for the secret operations of the various forces lurking in the wilderness of Xunlong City to spread the news in the first place.
Then the personal guard who was in charge of sending letters to Xunlong's acupuncture point was attacked by a crossbow from a high place as soon as he walked out of the gate of the city lord's mansion, and fell to the ground with serious injuries. Seeing the enemy, the surrounding guards protected the wounded while arranging other people to deliver the letter.
As soon as the other person walked out, he was attacked by a crossbow again.
In less than ten minutes, four people were killed on the way to deliver the letter.
"..."
The guards' faces were ashen, and they didn't dare to act rashly anymore, the two sides were just so exhausted. Only when the Imperial Guard Division was ordered to rush over, would the siege be resolved.
This delay was more than half an hour.
Nearly an hour had passed by the time the messenger arrived at the post station under the heavy protection of the imperial guards, suppressed the commotion at the post station, and sent the letter.
At this time, Huo Qubing had taken down the Xunlong Legion and came straight to Xunlong City.
…………
Overlord City, City Lord's Mansion.
After receiving the distress letter from Xunlong acupuncture point, Xiongba immediately summoned Wu Qi.
"General, in your opinion, what should we do now, should we send troops to rescue immediately, or should we tell other allies to send troops after we gather the army?" Xiongba asked.
Wu Qi said: "My lord, how long do you think Xunlong City can last?"
"This..." Xiong Ba was speechless, with an indescribable anger on his face, he cursed: "Xunlong Dian's Acupuncture is more than a success than a failure, and he was exposed in just a few days?! I'm afraid there are people around him. The meticulous work of Shanhai City."
Wu Qi was not good at interrupting.
Xiongba said to himself: "It's a shame that he still had the face to swear in front of me that he had guarded against Shanhai City long ago and would never leak the news. What an idiot!"
If I had known this would happen, Xiong Ba might as well not have planned to find the dragon and tap the acupuncture points.
Now it's all right, I failed to beat the tiger, but was bitten by the tiger instead. If Xunlong City falls, Overlord City will face Shanhai City immediately.
Thinking of this, Xiong Ba became furious.
Wu Qi saw it, and reminded: "Master, we still need to make a decision early."
Xiong Ba said: "The general means, don't wait for the allies, send troops to rescue immediately?"
Wu Dian nodded, "If my lord doesn't want to lose the barrier of Xunlong City, I have to send troops immediately. With the method of Shanhai City, the general will be worried. If you go a little late, it will be too late for everything."
Xiong Ba's face was uncertain, he gritted his teeth, and said: "The general is right, this matter cannot be delayed. In this way, you will lead the two legions to rush over, and I will contact all the allies in the rear, and then assemble the army."
"It's so good." Wu nodded.
Xiongba is also a man of determination, he clasped his fists and said, "Then I will thank you general!" He took out the military amulet and handed it to Wu Qi, giving Wu Qi the right to deploy troops.
Wu Qi took out the military talisman, saluted, then turned and left.
Seeing Xiongba, there is always a trace of uneasiness in his heart. Shanhai City was suppressed twice by the [Yanhuang League], and at this moment it was not so simple to make a sudden move.
No matter what, this thunder cannot be let Bawang City handle it alone.
Thinking of this, Xiongba immediately went back to the case and wrote to Dichen and the others to let them feel that Bawangcheng was promoted to discuss important matters.
…………
A series of major events that happened afterwards confirmed Xiongba's anxiety.
At noon on March 14th, before the army led by Wu Qi reached the border, the news that Xunlong City was captured by Shanhai City spread throughout the wilderness.
Xiong Ba was convinced, and immediately broke into a cold sweat from fright, and urgently ordered Wu Qi's army to rest in place for the time being.
In Bawang City, Xiongba will urgently discuss countermeasures with Dichen and others. But before they reached a conclusion, a series of battle reports left Xiongba and the others stunned.
Almost at the moment when Xunlong City was captured, a total of ten lords in Longyan County, Tingzhou County, and Shaowu County in Southern Fujian Province issued a joint statement, voluntarily abdicating the throne and accepting the reorganization of Shanhai City.
A stone stirs up a thousand waves.
There are only sixteen lords in the three counties in southern Fujian, and more than half of them belong to Shanhai City. Longyan County, which is close to Lingnan Province, is the most exaggerated, and four of the five lords belong to Shanhai City.
The remaining lord turned pale with fright, and immediately announced that he "voluntarily" abdicated to let the virtuous.
In this way, Shanhai City took Longyan County without a single soldier.
The Third Corps of the Huben Army received the military order and immediately marched into Longyan County. While breaking the stele of the territory, it gathered troops from six territories and marched towards Tingzhou County in a mighty manner.
Huo Qubing, who had stabilized Fuyong County, personally sat in Xunlong City, and at the same time ordered Ma Chao's army to advance into Shaowu County, and cooperate with Shaowu County's allies to encircle and suppress the remaining territories.
All of a sudden, the situation in southern Fujian changed rapidly.
Dichen and the others were stunned and speechless by the series of battle reports.
Xiongba broke the silence and asked: "What should we do now, should we increase our troops?" Xiongba most hoped that the alliance would increase its troops, because once Shanhai City took over the entire southern Fujian province, he might not be able to sleep well.
Dichen shook his head resolutely, and said, "How to increase troops? More than 70% of the Southern Fujian Province has already fallen into the hands of Shanhai City. With Shanhai City's reserve of one million troops, if we increase our troops by 200,000, they can follow suit by 300,000 troops." If we increase our troops by 300,000, they can increase their troops by 400,000."
"Southern Fujian Province is already a quagmire. If it sinks into it, not only will there be no benefits, but the entire alliance will be dragged down. By then, will the organization support us again?"
Dichen's words made Xiongba's face turn pale, and he realized: The worst situation has already appeared!
