Qin Ge stood on the altar, put away the Qinglong Sword, and Mao Jie, who had been standing behind him to assist him in commanding the formation, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Although Xu Shu and Tian Feng received the Qiongqi Essence and Blood rewarded by Qin Ge during these days, Xu Shu studied the Immortal Formation of Protecting the Country with Tian Feng, Ju Shou and other celebrities day and night during this period, and displayed the protection of the Four Heavenly Kings at critical moments. .
However, the bravery of the beast-turned-Goryeo soldiers far exceeded the imagination of the Han soldiers. Especially the Qiongqi ferocious beast monster soldiers led by Yeon Gaesumun were unstoppable. Even facing the three divine generals Dian Wei, Zhang He and Yingzhao, they were It has the power to crush!
Moreover, in this battle, due to Zhang Jha's young age and weak fighting will, he did not have the fearless boldness of Zhao Yun. He was a little timid under the fierce power of Yeon Gaesumun, and even acted timidly and retreated at the end, causing his heroic move to be almost defeated. Yeon Gae Su Wen's formation cut, if Fei Dianwei fought desperately to save him, Yingzhao might be torn into pieces.
This made Qin Ge furious on the spot. He pulled out the Qinglong Sword and almost executed Zhang He on the spot. This made Qin Ge feel a trace of disdain for this long-awaited five-son general.
However, Qin Ge used thunder bombs to defeat the Korean coalition forces in this battle. However, the Han army also suffered heavy losses in this battle, with more than 100,000 killed and countless injured. This battle frightened many optimistic soldiers. At this time, Xu Shu was commanding The troops cleaned up the battlefield, and Tian Feng also organized treatment for the injured soldiers.
Qin Ge's face was as gloomy as water. He looked down at the vines of the Holy Spirit Forest that began to recede under the fairy formation. At this time, all the corpses on the battlefield were like rotten wood. There was no trace of blood. Instead, the green forest vines seemed to have sucked up the blood on the battlefield. , now turned strangely scarlet.
"From the very beginning of the battle, I smelled something unusual. This battle was more like a bloody battle to the death by Goryeo demon soldiers, rather than a battle on the battlefield! Kinderman said that Meili was resourceful and had a pair of discerning eyes. I can see the world. Although I tricked them in this battle, I have already revealed all my trump cards. I feel that Meili must be brewing a conspiracy. Maybe we will be wiped out in the battle tomorrow!" Looking at those bloody vines , Although Qin Ge didn't know about Meili's conspiracy, at this time he vaguely realized that Meili must have completed the preparations before some kind of ceremony.
Hearing this, Mao Jie sighed: "Lord! We were originally powerful men in Yanzhou. The Yellow Turban Rebellion started with force. My lord had a strong temperament. He interacted with Zang Ba and other heroes. He split the land of the gentry and divided it among the people. The gentry in Yanzhou regarded the lord as an alien. , and also had many grudges with the emperor's relative Liu Dai. Boning and I have discussed the lord's difficulties many times, and we also know that the lord suffered humiliation in Luoyang for my free leadership. This time the lord's Northern Expedition all narrowly escaped death, lord, do you know that you are like us? If the foundation of the world is lost, the tens of millions of people in Mount Tai... I really don't understand. Today, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou is not over, the Baibo bandits are rampant in Yanzhou, and the bandits in Liangshan, Qingzhou are rising like fire. It is the Lord who is taking advantage of the situation to rise. At this time, my lord is risking his life like this, I really can’t understand it! I can’t understand it!”
Mao Jie's eyes were red, and there was a layer of moisture in his eyes. He could hear the despair and determination in Qin Ge's tone, but he was more puzzled. Knowing that they would both be burned together soon, he asked out the doubts and incomprehensions in his heart. .
Qin Ge was filled with emotion when he heard this. It can be said that the first historical general who was promoted to the throne by him was Mao Jie. Sun Guan joined him because of his brother Sun Kang. Man Chong was found by him with the general order. , and Mao Jie is the one who truly admires him and ascends to the throne. This is the foundation of his standing in Taishan County.
"Be afraid of fighting! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can leave now. Why disturb the morale of the army here!" Tian Feng happened to come to report the matter at this time. Hearing Mao Jie's words, he immediately glared at each other.
Mao Jie is gentle and elegant. Although he comes from a poor family, he is open-minded and tolerant of others. He is a true Confucian.
Man Chong, the free leader, is fierce and ruthless in enforcing the law, while Mao Jie is in charge of personnel affairs and associates with scholars and wise men. One is strong and the other is soft. They are the two pillars of the free leader's government affairs.
Of course, it is precisely because of the scarcity of free leaders that Mao Jie has been serving as the general manager of logistics during the war, responsible for the logistics and transportation. It can be said that Mao Jie is Qin Ge's confidant, and Qin Ge has already regarded him as a brother.
Mao Jie knew that Tian Feng was a madman. In the past few days, Qin Ge had been playing the piano and dancing for Kinderman at the mansion. Tian Feng was dissatisfied and rebuked loudly in front of the mansion. Everyone in Zhuojun City knew about this, and everyone knew that Tian Feng was jealous of Tian Feng. Due to his behavior, Qin Ge was silenced and disgraced several times.
Tian Feng was so arrogant and arrogant. As the earliest confidant loyal to Qin Ge, Qin Ge could talk and laugh with Tian Feng. However, Mao Jie couldn't bear it. Mao Jie, who had always been good-tempered, came forward many times to stop Tian Feng from committing crimes, and even quarreled with Tian Feng in public until his face turned red. , it can be said that the two had very unpleasant troubles several times.
Hearing Tian Feng reprimanding Mao Jie, Qin Ge raised his brows and said in a cold voice: "Xiao Xian has followed me and fought bloody battles. He has waded through the sea of blood so many times. If Xiao Xian was afraid of death, how could he come here thousands of miles away!" First of all, my brother cannot be insulted!"
Tian Feng was shocked when he heard this. He looked back at Mao Jie who looked indifferent, cupped his fists and said, "Tian made a mistake, please forgive me, Mr. Mao!"
Mao Jie glanced at Tian Feng in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the madman in his eyes could still succumb. Qin Ge looked back at Mao Jie and said, "Xian Xiao, have you ever thought that without me, Qin Ge, this China would not be able to survive?" The earth will become a sea of blood! If everyone cowers for their own gain, I am afraid that Yuan Gaesumun’s cavalry would have already marched straight into Luoyang, and there would be no unbroken eggs in the nest!"
Tian Feng nodded when he heard this and said: "This is the world for the common good!"
Mao Jie was shocked when he heard this, and then he sighed and said, "This subordinate is so narrow-minded!"
Qin Ge turned back and patted Mao Jie on the shoulder and said: "We still don't know whether we will win or not, but as Yuan Hao said, as long as we hold on for one day, we have a better chance of winning! At this time, the general's army is probably about to arrive in Jizhou. ...Even if our entire army is wiped out, the Koreans have been strategically defeated!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Ge turned around and looked at Zhang He who was kneeling not far away. He came to Zhang He with the Qinglong Sword and pressed the tip of the Qinglong Sword against his throat. Seeing this, Jushou and Shenpei quickly knelt before Qin Ge. He said at his feet: "General Qin! Junyi is indeed afraid of fighting in this battle, which almost led to his defeat. However, it is unlucky to kill the general before the battle, so Junyi can be punished and meritorious!"
At this time, Zhang He's face was full of fear, his whole body was trembling, and he almost collapsed under Qin Ge's power. He could feel the terrifying murderous intention released from the tip of Qin Ge's sword.
When Xu Shu heard the words, he sighed and said: "My lord! In this world, people like Dian Wei, Zilong and Yingzhao who are not afraid of death for their loyalty and righteousness are as rare as phoenixes. Yuan Gaisu Wen is so fierce that many soldiers are frightened. What Mr. Nan said is right, there will be a decisive battle with the Goryeo coalition forces in the near future, and killing Zhang He at this time will be detrimental to the war situation!"
Qin Ge originally had high expectations for this five-son general in history. Although Zhang He showed very superb commanding abilities in commanding the military formation, he did not have the bravery that Qin Ge most expected.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, Qin Ge favors Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Shu and others because they are the same type of people as him. They can shed blood for their ideals and beliefs. These are the heroes Qin Ge admires most. gas.
Although Qin Ge did not criticize his brothers for being like this, in his heart, this is a ruler for Qin Ge to treat his subordinates. For brothers who are heroic, Qin Ge appreciates and is close to them from the bottom of his heart, even if they are enemies such as Qin Ge admired Jin Yuncheng who died in the Snow Wolf Fort. Even though Jin Yuncheng almost killed him and the soldiers of the expeditionary force, when Qin Ge mentioned him, everyone always praised him and expressed admiration in his words.
At this time, Zhang He was an unheroic coward in Qin Ge's eyes. No matter how strong he was, Qin Ge would still look down on such a person. In Qin Ge's heart, Zhang He had already been sentenced to death for abandoning his comrades on the battlefield.
"Who were you before, and what will happen in the future? It has nothing to do with me, but now you are my soldier, and you must obey military orders! Even if you, a coward, live in vain, once the Goryeo beasts are allowed to invade Jizhou, those hundreds of millions of people will die in vain. Will the evil spirit of the surname let you go? Will Huanghuang Tianwei let you go? Today I will tell you that you can only survive if you win. If Zhuojun City is lost, none of us can survive! My eyes will always be on you, If you dare to take another step back, I will definitely kill you for all the people in the world, you are a weakling! Trash!" As he spoke, Qin Ge patted Zhang He's head with the Qinglong Sword, put the sword into its scabbard with a look of disgust, and turned away.
At this time, Zhang He had collapsed to the ground in fear, especially Qin Ge's words, which were like knives piercing into his heart. His dignity was shattered by Qin Ge at this moment, but more of it was fear and fear. panic.
Shen Pei's face was extremely livid and he snorted coldly: "We Jizhou people have lost all our faces because of you, this trash! trash! Come here! Give me an order. Who dares to retreat like this coward on the battlefield in the future? General Qin is not needed." , I will judge him first and kill him first!" After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
Jushou turned back and glanced at Zhang He. At this time, Zhang He was still young. It is human nature to be frightened on the battlefield. However, the stakes in this battle were too high, especially since Qin Ge's soldiers were not afraid of death and always fought bloody battles on the front line. As a Jizhou native! It's really as shameful as Shen Pei said.
Jushu came to Zhang He and said: "General Qin is right. We have no way out in this battle. If anyone dares to escape from the battlefield, not only the military law will not be able to spare him, but the hundreds of millions of people in Jizhou will not be able to spare him, and the panic of heaven will not be able to spare him." , if you are a man, you will fight to the death upright and don’t embarrass Jizhou heroes again!”
At this time, Zhang He was kneeling on the ground, his face looking like an overturned five-flavor bottle, but it was more humiliating.
…
On the altar in the Goryeo army formation, Meili was withered at this time, like a mummy crawling out of a grave. After the battle, Yeon Gaesumun was covered in blood. He walked to the altar step by step with his sword, leaving a string of blood at his feet. His bloody footprints were staring at his wife sitting cross-legged on the altar.
Meili slowly opened her eyes, and there was a sense of determination in her deep-set eyes: "It seems! I'm really going to the last step!"
Seeing his wife in such a miserable state, Yeon Gaesomun suddenly knelt on the ground with his majestic body, and said with tears in his eyes: "No! I will take you back to Tangun's sanctuary now. As long as Tangun can cure you, I am willing to sacrifice No matter what...even if I am shattered to pieces, I will capture the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty for him!"
Mei Li showed a wry smile and said: "Although the millions of elite soldiers led by Yang Wanchun and the army of the Li Dynasty have arrived in Youzhou Prefecture, the Han government has gathered elites from various states and sent heavy troops into Jizhou. If Zhuojun cannot be defeated as soon as possible, they will take advantage of the situation to catastrophe. By plundering Jizhou and acquiring massive amounts of supplies, we will lose the initiative in the war! If that happens, let alone asking for mercy from Tangun, I am afraid that Tangun will take action on you!"
"The high priest is right! In the past, the reason why we were victorious in all battles was that we caught the internal chaos of the Han Dynasty and caught them off guard. But now the Han Dynasty court has come to its senses and mobilized heavy troops to suppress the situation. By then, we will be stronger than Qin Ge. People and strangers will emerge one after another, and the big man's full blow will be like the overwhelming force of Mount Tai! We have no retreat!" Cui Yu walked over with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Yeon Gaesumun's eyes were as scarlet as blood, and Yangtian roared as his emotions were released.
