After listening to General Yulin's story, the five brothers of the Kong family were all stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it at all.
The general did not know many things in detail, but he always kept in mind who was in the coffins behind him.
When they heard that Duke Zhongyi of Nanhuai had died in the battle, the five brothers didn't know what to say, and the disciples of the Confucian sect behind them felt even more uneasy.
"Qin Tiantian...is he also dead..." Kong Zhi, the fourth child, murmured. Looking back, the grievances with him seemed like yesterday.
General Yu Lin nodded and said: "Well, that brother Qin died miserably...the bones cannot be recovered...there are only some of his clothes and supplies in this coffin. If you take them back, you can only set up a tomb."
The fourth brother Kong Zhi lowered his head and said nothing. The other brothers wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know what to say, so everyone remained silent.
Kong Zhi raised his head and asked: "May I ask General, which one is the coffin of brother Qin...Qin?"
The general looked at him doubtfully, and the eldest brother Kong Ren spoke up and said, "Brother Qin is my brother's old friend. He wants to... pay homage to him."
The changes in the fourth child Kong Zhi over the years are obvious to all. Ever since he bumped into Yi Xiaodao in Qucheng and was taught a lesson, he has changed his mind and no longer dares to do evil.
As the sect leader and eldest brother, Kong Ren still knew something about his fourth brother.
General Yulin called a few soldiers and told them to take Kong Zhi to find Qin Changqian's coffin.
Kong Zhi came to the coffin, looked at the black and red coffin, and knelt down with a "thump".
"Brother Qin, Kong Zhi was young and ignorant back then... I'm sorry for you..." After saying that, he knocked his head on the ground and couldn't lift it up anymore, crying uncontrollably.
Seeing this, the soldiers around him wisely moved a little away to let him vent.
After crying for a while, Kong Zhi raised his head and stared at the coffin, with determination in his eyes: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will avenge you! Send all those Beiyi beasts down to make amends for you!"
After saying that, Kong Zhi stood up and returned to the brothers.
At this time, when the Confucian disciples saw these many coffins, they became afraid in their hearts.
They are not fools. When fighting on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers can only be wrapped in horse leather. If Daqi wins, the robes will at most dig a big pit for them and bury them together. They will not use coffins to send them back to the south.
Although these coffins are not very luxurious, at this time, having a coffin containing a corpse already shows that the status is extraordinary.
There are so many big shots who can't protect themselves. If they, the ordinary disciples of Confucius Sect, are gone... aren't they doomed?
The brothers are arranging words and thinking of how to comfort their disciples. They are not Daqi's imperial troops, so the impact on the border is not particularly important to them.
"My disciples are all ordinary people. They worshiped me as Confucian sect and entered the battlefield... I am afraid that I have lost my benevolence and righteousness to them..."
Kong Yi, the second eldest brother, is usually responsible for more trivial matters in the gang, and is more concerned about his disciples than the other brothers.
"Fourth child, are you... okay?" The third child, Kong Li, and the fourth child, Kong Zhi, had the best relationship. Seeing him come back with red eyes, he asked with some worry.
"Third brother, I'm fine." Kong Zhi shook his head gently, then turned to Kong Ren: "Brother, let me talk."
Kong Ren hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, still trusting.
Kong Zhi strode to the front of the Confucian disciples: "I know you are afraid, and now you want to leave. Go back to your hometown in Donglu, guard your parents, wife and children, and just wait for the storm to pass quietly."
"I promise you, if you want to leave, you can leave now!"
"Fourth!" The other people were shocked and shouted in unison.
Kong Zhi did not look back and continued: "But you have to think clearly, if one day you are in your hometown in Donglu, playing with your children or making out with your wife, and Beiyi soldiers break into your house! What will you do? ?”
Kong Li shook his head gently: "The Fourth Brother is an insult to the gentlemen..." Confucius pays attention to etiquette and elegance, and Kong Zhi's words are a bit vulgar to them who have read many books about sages.
"I think what the fourth brother said is very good, and I like to hear it." Kong Xin, the fifth brother, kept nodding, holding the opposite opinion to the third brother.
"Come with us now, we will live and die together, and we will have a companion on the road to hell! If you go back now, you may have to see with your own eyes how scared your family members are when facing the soldiers and horses of the Beiyi!"
Disciples, you look at me and I look at you, and you can see the confusion and questioning in Guang's eyes.
"But even if we go, we may not win..." A voice in the crowd whispered, and I don't know which disciple said it.
Kong Zhi didn't pursue it, no one would admit it, let alone report it. He knew that this was what they all felt too.
"Have you seen these coffins? Go up and take a look, and count them carefully. Are they forty or fifty?"
Kong Zhi became angry and roared loudly, which was far from his usual gentle and gentle demeanor.
"Why did they die? They died for us! They died for your parents, wives and children! I will not hold you accountable for leaving today, but you will no longer be Confucian disciples!"
"Confucius, there are people who have not read poetry and books but still do not understand righteousness!"
The other four brothers stood beside Kong Zhi, which could be regarded as showing their support for Kong Zhi.
After hearing this, many disciples fell into deep thought. Kong Zhi's last words were simply shocking to them.
There are many sects in Jianghu, why did they join Confucius? It is the approval and recognition of the great gifts and righteousness of the sages in the poems and books.
"If I leave today, I'm afraid that thousands of books and thousands of miles in the future will not be able to eliminate the demonic obstacles in my heart."
"Although it is said that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, there is an old saying that a true man will do something and not do something!"
"One hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu, and three thousand Yue Jia can swallow up Wu! The master of the gate and the four chiefs, Xiaosheng is willing to go!"
"Don't leave me behind..."
The hesitation and confusion in the eyes of the Confucian disciples were swept away, and they gradually became determined and enthusiastically challenged themselves to fight.
"This general, I've been offended by your nagging for a long time. Take your leave."
Kong Ren knew that one should strike while the iron is hot, so he handed over to General Yulin, got on his Mohu, and led a group of disciples away.
General Yu Lin looked at the retreating Confucian people, and his frown gradually relaxed.
"How could Daqi be defeated? Hahahaha, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
…
In the north of Jincheng, the Beiyi soldiers and the Yulin army have been fighting for a long time, and they are inseparable.
The tens of thousands of imperial guards from the capital brought by Zhao Yizhi and Qian Ning have already entered the battlefield. Thanks to them, they were able to withstand the fierce offensive of the Beiyi soldiers.
The Yulin Army has a smaller number, and they have been constantly rotating in the past few days. Some of them are already injured, and their condition is far inferior to that of the powerful Beiyi soldiers, and they are really unable to continue to fight in the front.
Just holding on.
"Are there any reinforcements? We have been fighting for many days, and we can no longer hold it anymore..."
A Yulin war general discussed with another war general anxiously. These soldiers and horses had been fighting for several days, and everyone was exhausted.
Regardless of the fact that the two parties are still locked in a stalemate, once the army reaches a certain critical point, it will be defeated like a mountain.
"Where are the reinforcements? All the cities are fighting... If it weren't for the imperial guards brought by Qian Shuai... I heard that Shoucheng has been invaded by Beiyi soldiers, and the enemy and we are fighting in the city!"
"Once this place is broken..." General Yulin stopped talking. Both of them knew the seriousness of the matter.
Once Jincheng is defeated, although there is still a line of defense behind Shangcheng and Ancheng, no one will be optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the army spontaneously formed by the common people.
"Is Qian Shuai still under siege?"
"I once led people to rescue them, but these soldiers and horses are really powerful, even ten for one can't do it..."
In the military formation, Qian Ning was surrounded by heavy wolf cavalry, who kept attacking and killing him. Although he kept dodging and counterattacking, he had little effect. Until now, the Heavy Wolf Cavalry had only killed nearly a hundred people.
Moreover, while charging and dodging, Chonglangqi deliberately drove Qian Ning aside, getting further and further away from Jincheng.
Qian Ning also knew that his position was constantly shifting, but he really had no choice.
Even if he exerted all his internal strength and hit him hard in one direction, it would not help. There was a distance between these soldiers and horses. It was useless to knock two or three people to death with one strike.
Although he doesn't feel very tired now, he also knows in his heart that if this continues, even if he is surrounded to death in the formation, he will still be surrounded to death in the formation.
"No, we can't go on like this, try walking from above!" Qian Ning glanced into the air, waiting for the heavy wolf cavalry to charge over.
"Hey~"
The war horse sprinted over, its lips swaying, and the teeth in its mouth looked particularly terrifying, as if it wanted to eat people.
"rise!"
Qian Ning jumped up and flew into the air, but he was horrified to find that behind these heavy wolf cavalry, there were still heavy wolf cavalry. There are dozens of layers upon layers, with thousands of people...
"Fire the gun!" the commander of the heavy wolf cavalry raised his gun and ordered. All the heavy wolf cavalry raised their mace guns and threw them at Qian Ning in mid-air.
From all directions, front, rear, left and right, there were mace spears thrown at them. Even Qian Ning was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly made a heavy drop and fell back to the ground.
The wolf fangs passed by each other, and the heavy wolf riders all caught the wolf fangs on the opposite side. Some of the spears hit each other in the air and fell to the ground, causing some people to miss them.
Of course, there were also some unlucky ones who were stabbed directly by the mace spear and were injured. But no one was stabbed to death by the mace spear.
"I don't know how many heroes have died in your hands." Qian Ning was a little angry. This formation was obviously prepared for masters in the world.
"Since we can't go to the sky, then..." Qian Ning stared directly in front of him. He was not a reckless person, but now he wanted to be reckless.
"kill!"
The northern barbarians from all directions shouted, and Qian Ning also shouted, the loudest.
