The entire county was burned. Because there was no need to attack the enemy accurately, it was just burning wantonly, so the kerosene that needed to be consumed was not much. Many houses were made of wood, and only a small flame could ignite the fire. Burn.
One house next to another burned violently. Long Yu's pursuers were blocked outside and had no intention of paying attention to King Qicheng. The entire army began to fight the fire desperately, and many people even had no time to escape. Burned to death.
Two fires before and after surrounded King Qicheng and Qiao Chu, and neither of them seemed to be in a hurry.
"It's God's will. It's really God's destiny to manipulate people!"
There is an unknown sentry beside King Qicheng. This sentry has been by King Qicheng's side since he discovered that Lu Zhijie was arrested.
"You can retreat now. You can judge the situation by yourself in the future. I can't teach you anymore!"
The sentry heard this and knew what it meant, and said with tears: "Take care of King Qi!"
Soon the sentry was mixed with King Qicheng's army and could not be distinguished.
King Qicheng looked at the young man in front of him and asked casually: "You want me to surrender? Don't you have some conditions?"
Qiao Chu originally just said it casually and did not think that King Qicheng would really surrender.
"Oh? Will Lord Qicheng really surrender? It's best this way. Lord Longyu in front has promised that all your soldiers will be exempted from guilt as long as they surrender?"
"Okay! That's very good. I hope you can keep your promise!"
"certainly!"
"The entire army lays down its weapons, offers no resistance, and surrenders immediately!"
The entire 200,000 troops did not have any objection at all. They all put down their weapons at the same time and squatted on the ground.
Qiao Chu was in a daze. He didn't expect it to be so easy?
Capturing King Qicheng alive was such a great achievement, but it actually fell on him like this.
Is there any conspiracy?
"Surround the entire army and control King Qicheng's army!"
Qiao Chu gave the order, and an army of 500,000 slowly surrounded the Iron Curse Soldiers. During this period, there was really no resistance.
Qiao Chu came to King Qicheng, who was already alone, and stepped forward to grab King Qicheng's arm.
"Aren't you afraid that I will plot against you?"
"Although I don't necessarily have any skills in leading troops, I still have confidence in my martial arts. The little grandmaster can't hurt me yet!"
"Yeah! That's right. I heard that you have reached the realm of a grand master. I don't know why you are so willing to be a prince. Don't you have any pursuits in martial arts?"
"Of course!"
"What? Glory and wealth? How ridiculous!"
After serving as an official for thirty years, King Qicheng has seen through the twists and turns, and is no longer willing to pursue this as his ambition, and is also laughing at such people.
"Rong! Hua! Wealth! Nobility! These four words will probably never have anything to do with me!"
He didn't care about King Qicheng's ridicule, but gritted his teeth and said the four words of prosperity and wealth. Qiao Chu became extremely cold in an instant, and the eyes he looked at King Qicheng were full of murderous intent!
With a shudder, King Qicheng seemed to feel Qiao Chu's murderous intention. The young man's heart was full of hatred. King Qicheng even felt Qiao Chu's heart. A young man who was crowned king should be high-spirited. Why is this?
Qiao Chu didn't want to say any more, so he locked King Qicheng in a prison car, cleaned the battlefield, gathered the troops, and ended the battle.
The Quartet's army showed its power, and soon the news spread around the battlefield. Qiao Chu captured King Qicheng alive without spending a single soldier, and his reputation became famous and powerful for a while.
The square formation that Qi Ping'a had trained for many years had no effect at all, but due to a coincidence, it kept pace with Long Yu's dragon formation, and it suddenly became the top combat power of the dynasty.
A war involving the four kings of the dynasty slowly came to an end. Although King Qicheng was at an absolute disadvantage from the beginning, and even had no chance of winning, the war was cruel after all. The battle in just ten days affected many people. It destroyed an entire prefecture and killed nearly eight million people. Since the establishment of the dynasty, there had never been such a serious impact, and it even slightly shook the foundation of the dynasty.
After the battle, the three kings collected all the prisoners of war. Although they promised King Qicheng that they would not offend his generals and soldiers, they could not release them so quickly. They needed to return to Wushuang City and report to the emperor before making a decision.
We still need to deal with the chaos after the war first. The fires in Nanyang Port and Mochen Road took one million troops to fight for three days before they were extinguished. There are also those bandits who took advantage of the chaos. For these people, Long Yu's order is very simple. It’s just one word “kill”!
These grass bandits were just drunkards and rice sacks. They had no power to fight back against the strangulation of the three kings, and they were wiped out in a few days.
Then the three armies rested in place for three days and prepared to return to their bases.
King Qicheng and Lu Zhijie were imprisoned together. Long Yu personally gave the order. Although Qiao Chu captured the person, he did not dare to disobey Long Yu's order.
The two brothers were locked together, so naturally they felt a lot of emotion.
"Big brother couldn't escape after all, what a pity!"
"Actually, when I arrived at Mochen Road, there were no enemies yet!"
Lu Zhijie grabbed King Qicheng's arm in surprise and asked puzzledly: "Then why is the eldest brother still being arrested!"
Looking at his brothers who have been with him for many years, King Qicheng smiled and said: "I can't bear to see my brothers who have been with me for many years go on the road alone, and I also want to give them more opportunities to escape. I am old and don't want to leave! "
A man has gold at his knees and will never kneel to others easily.
Men don't shed tears easily, and no matter how much pain they swallow, they don't shed tears.
At this moment, Lu Zhijie couldn't hold back his tears, and they fell crazily, dripping on the prison car.
"why why?"
Compared with King Qicheng's indifferent attitude, Lu Zhijie actually cared more about other people's lives.
Looking at King Jie who was crying like a child, King Qicheng patted him on the back and said, "Don't cry. The four of us brothers were sworn brothers at the beginning. After so many years of ups and downs, it was worth it. Today This time you and I go to this hell road together, there is nothing to be afraid of, I just hope that you and I can be brothers again in the next life!"
Lu Zhijie cried until his eyes were red and swollen. He looked up at his eldest brother who had taken care of him for many years, and said hoarsely: "Yes, if there is another life for you and me, we will be brothers again!"
Lu Zhijie knew in his heart that King Qicheng might have a chance to escape, and he couldn't bear to see him die alone, so he accompanied him on this road to death.
There is no need for the two of them to say anything, everything is understood in their hearts. With such a brother in their life, they will have no regrets.
Li Cheng was reporting on the recruited soldiers when he suddenly discovered a major event and hurriedly reported it to Long Yu.
"Sir, it's terrible. We just counted all the prisoners, and Qian Yu and Zhou De were not included. Even King Qicheng's wife and son were not among them!"
Long Yu was worried about too many casualties. When he heard the news, he frowned and said, "Is the count clear? There are no missing ones?"
Li Cheng said anxiously: "No, I've counted it three times and still can't find it. Did you escape through Mochen Road?"
Long Yu thought about it carefully and said: "First publish the portraits of Qian Yu and Zhou De to all the prefectures and counties, and assist in the investigation to arrest them. Search Mochen Road with all our strength to see if they have been burned to death. If they passed Mochen Road before, I’m afraid we can’t catch the road now!”
Li Cheng seemed to be an ant on a hot pot, and said anxiously: "It's my lord, this is bad, what should I do?"
He ran out in a panic.
Putting down the inventory file in her hand and looking at the direction in which Li Cheng ran out, Long Yu felt strange. Li Cheng always followed his own orders when doing things. He never asked or said more, let alone did anything beyond his authority. Why are you so enthusiastic about King Qicheng this time?
However, Long Yu didn't think much about it. After all, Li Cheng was promoted by himself. Was he afraid that the emperor would blame him?
The conversation between Lu Zhijie and King Qicheng just now also reached Long Yu's ears. Prisoners have no free space. King Qicheng's every move is now being closely monitored. Long Yu has never been able to understand why King Qicheng rebelled.
There is no logical reason to explain this.
Nanyang Port is the end of this rebellion. Some people are happy and some are sad.
"Go away, don't stop me!" Zhou De pushed Qian Yu away angrily and prepared to rush back to Mochen Road.
"You are crazy. If you go back now, you will be dead. We worked so hard to escape!"
Qian Yu couldn't stop Zhou De at all. He was the weakest in martial arts among the four brothers. He used his brain far more often than he used his hands.
After being thrown to the ground by Zhou De, Zhou De immediately mounted his horse and prepared to rush back to Nanyang Port.
A flying knife was accurately shot at the horse's throat. The speed was so fast that even Grand Master Zhou De could not react, and the horse fell to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Qian Yu's methods were so vicious. Zhou De became even more angry, rushed forward and knocked Qian Yu to the ground with a punch.
He shouted: "It's in vain that the elder brother and the second brother treat you and me as brothers. Now that they are in danger, you actually asked me to abandon them. You even lied to me that it was a sneak attack on the enemy. It was my carelessness that fell into your trap." when!"
It turned out that Zhou De and Qian Yu escaped from Mochen Road. Zhou De was deceived by Qian Yu, thinking that their team of more than a thousand people was attacking the enemy in a sneak attack, but who knew they were deserters.
Zhou De didn't want to talk nonsense to Qian Yu anymore. His life was saved by King Qicheng. If he couldn't save King Qicheng, he would die with him. He had repaid his life-saving grace.
"Qian Yu, I misjudged you!"
Zhou De took another horse and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Zhou De was about to be unable to be stopped, Qian Yu became anxious and hurriedly stood up from the ground and shouted: "Zhou De, stop here. It is my brother's order to let us retreat. Do you want to disobey the military order?"
Zhou De, who was about to ride on horseback, was stunned for a moment. He also knew in his heart that Qian Yu was not the kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. This must be his brother's intention, but he could not accept such a humiliating life.
"I, I don't want to disobey military orders, but this time it's really...!"
While Zhou Deleng was standing there, another pair of men and horses came out from the side.
It turned out that the wives and children of the four brothers and some elderly people in the army also escaped from Mochen Road.
King Qicheng's son was also an adult. He watched the fight between the two uncles and did not speak, because he knew that the facts could not be changed no matter what.
Looking at his wife and children, Zhou De was also touched, with tears in his eyes.
