"Sir, Li Kang's move is just nonsense, making excuses for his failure and delaying time."
"Sir, let your subordinates lead an army. We will capture him alive within a quarter of an hour at most."
Song Biao, Er Meng and others couldn't listen at all. Li Kang's actions were nothing more than trying to save some face for himself.
There is no need to waste time with him here. Are you afraid that you won't be able to take this small state city with just one order? Read the book
This was not only the sentiment of a few of them, but also the sentiment of many rebel elders and county governors present.
The war has reached its final stage. As long as the state capital is captured, the war in Jiaozhou will come to an end. It is a waste of time with Li Kang here.
Su Qian understood everyone's mood. He nodded, looked at Li Kang coldly, and said.
"Li Kang, the matter has come to an end. As the shepherd of Jiaozhou, you should know that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since you insist on resisting, I don't have the patience to waste time with you. The whole army will obey the order and let me capture it. State capital."
The order was issued and the soldiers besieging the state capital were preparing to storm the state capital and capture Li Kang alive.
Li Kang, who was standing on the city tower, laughed loudly, "Haha, Su Qian, you want to capture Benzhou alive, but you are not qualified. Now you have already fallen into the trap set by Benzhou. There are 70,000 troops accompanying Benzhou on the road. Benzhou earns Already."
"Li Kang, stop talking nonsense here. Go to me, the elder, to capture the city and capture Li Kang alive." Elder Er said angrily.
Li Kang didn't care at all about the angry rebuke of the two elders. He had a smile on his face and then clapped his hands. Behind him, a loud arrow shot into the sky.
Then, behind everyone, far away, a violent explosion sounded.
Everyone turned around suddenly, only to see a burning flame accompanied by thick smoke rising.
That location was a corner on the edge of the city. It was relatively remote and sparsely populated, so it probably didn't cause too many casualties.
Everyone was a little stunned by the sudden explosion just now, maybe they didn't know what it was.
But Su Qian could recognize at a glance that the explosion just now was more powerful than ordinary black powder, but it could not achieve the effect of high explosives.
But if you want to blow someone up, it's more than enough.
Not long after the explosion, Su Qian immediately ordered the entire army to stop attacking the city.
With solemn eyes, he looked at Li Kang who looked proud and said in a low voice, "Is this your back-up plan? Your trump card?"
"Haha, otherwise, Mr. Su Hou, otherwise what do you think this state can rely on to govern Jiaozhou for thirteen years?"
"Su Qi'an, to tell you the truth, the explosion just now was just an appetizer. Now the entire city, the land you are standing on, has been planted with gunpowder in advance by this state."
"With just one order, Jiaozhou City will soon be in ruins. I wonder how many of the 70,000 troops you lead, Su Qian, will be left by then?"
"What...what! Li Kang, you are really a madman, a complete madman." When the three elders heard this, their expressions changed and they angrily scolded Li Kang.
Li Kang didn't pay attention to the abuses of these people at all. These guys were just a bunch of losers and had no right to talk to him.
Only Su Qian was qualified to talk to him.
"So, give up the defense of the city and continue to shrink your troops, in order to allow 70,000 troops to enter the city. At that time, with the gunpowder you have laid in ambush, the lives of 70,000 troops will all depend on your thoughts, and this is what you do The final trump card."
Seeing Su Qi'an's calm face, Li Kang's smile became even brighter. He nodded and said, "Haha, yes, this is why this state is not afraid of the so-called tens of thousands of troops attacking the city."
"The state only needs to let your troops enter the city, along with you. As long as the state can be sure that you have not escaped and appeared in front of the state, you cannot win this war."
"The gunpowder buried underground in Jiaozhou City will not be a problem to take all of you away. This state is now looking forward to how this prosperous state city, under my order, turned into a ruins and buried you all." grave."
The more Li Kang spoke, the more excited he became, and his face showed a hint of
Crazy, for today's game, he has paid no less than Su Qian.
Su Qi'an had calculated everything, but in the end it was just one move in front of him.
This time Su Qian lost!
Li Kang dared to show up and did not escape. He was already determined to die and wanted to die together with Su Qi'an.
escape? For him, it is not only a shame, but also a kind of torture. For others, being forced to leave the territory where they operate may be able to make a comeback.
But for Li Kang, once he escapes, he will have no soldiers to use in Jiaozhou, and even if he can escape from the city, he will never escape from Jiaozhou. With Su Qi'an's temperament, he must be captured, no matter life or death.
This is not just Su Qi'an's idea. If he were the winner, he would also put Su Qi to death to avoid future troubles.
Jiaozhou is his base camp. There is no place for him in Jiaozhou, and there is no room for him in other states.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to die together with Su Qi'an. Even if he is defeated, Li Kang will not lose if he can take so many people away and be buried with him.
Su Qi'an saw Li Kang's madness. He was silent for a while, but suddenly said.
"Li Kang, how about I make a bet with you? Believe it or not, you detonated the city and I am still safe."
Li Kang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Qi'an and laughed even louder. Su Qi's words could not be said to be arrogant, but to seek death.
Li Kang felt that his behavior was crazy, but Su Qian was even crazier than him.
I want to make a bet with him to detonate Jiaozhou City and bet that their 70,000-strong army will be safe and sound.
This is not seeking death. Since Su Qi'an wants to die, Li Kang will definitely help him.
It just so happened that Su Qi'an was with him on the Huangquan Road, so he wouldn't be alone.
Li Kang waved his hand, and the confidant state soldiers behind him fired several loud arrows into the sky again.
The sounding arrow took off into the sky, and then, starting from the four edges of the city, several explosions sounded one after another.
The burning flames were mixed with thick smoke, and even if they were far apart, the ground beneath their feet was faintly shaking.
Seeing the explosion flames rising in the distance, Li Kang spread his arms and shouted, "Su Qi'an, accompany Benzhou on the road."
Then he closed his eyes and waited for Jiaozhou City to turn into ruins at any time.
The corners of his mouth raised. As time passed by, the explosion that sounded from the edge of the city gradually returned to calm after more than ten breaths.
This stunned Li Kang. His slightly closed eyes suddenly opened and he looked at the thick smoke rising in the distance.
Contrary to his imagination, there would be a chain reaction one after another, from the outside to the inside, and finally the explosion that completely covered the entire city, but there was no movement.
The previous explosion on the edge of the city ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Not to mention Li Kang's confused look, even the three elders, the county governor, Song Biao, Er Meng and others also looked puzzled.
Although they are puzzled, on the surface, Li Kang's idea of dying together seems to have been solved, which is a great thing for them.
"What's going on? This is impossible!"
Li Kang's face changed, and he roared at his subordinates. He buried the entire city with gunpowder, lured Su Qi'an into the city, and died with him. Only he knew this trump card.
He never told anyone, even his confidants who were responsible for burying the gunpowder, Li Kang always finished a batch and secretly killed a batch.
This can completely prevent the news from leaking. When Su Qi'an finally enters the city, he will issue an order and only need to send some dead soldiers to detonate various gunpowder points.
But at the critical moment, it didn't work. This was something Li Kang would never have expected.
He looked at Su Qian with wide eyes and said something, but quickly denied it, "Su Qian is you? No, this is absolutely impossible, you don't have this ability!"
"You're right. This matter is really not my fault. It's just that someone gave me a message in advance. With this news, it shouldn't be difficult for me to send someone to kill your dead soldiers."
"Who! Who is it!" At this time, Li Kang was extremely emotionally unstable, like a crazy beast.
"state
Mu, you are so smart, don’t you know? "
Li Kang was startled at first, his red eyes rolled, and suddenly he seemed to think of someone. His body froze, and he murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
"It's him! How could it be him! It turns out that all of Honshu's plans were arranged by him. Why, why did he betray Honshu!"
Li Kang looked like he was crazy, his eyes were dull, and there were layers of reluctance, anger, murderous intent, sadness, etc. in his eyes.
From this unstable state, Li Kang came to his senses as the besieging army launched its final attack.
He almost roared as he said to the siege army, "Counterattack for Honshu! Kill! Kill them all."
Those who can stand with Li Kang are without exception his close confidants.
Even though there were tens of thousands of tide troops in front of them, these people showed no fear and launched a suicide attack under Li Kang's order.
Even if these people were not afraid of death, they were eventually chopped into pieces when the tidal wave of troops attacked the city.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Kang's last stronghold, the state capital, was breached.
Countless people swarmed forward, trying to rush to the top floor of the state capital to capture Li Kang alive.
Li Kang stood on the steps of the top floor, looking at Su Qi'an in the distance and laughing.
"Su Qian, Benzhou lost this game. You are so capable of inciting Benzhou's cronies to rebel. Benzhou admires you. With you replacing Benzhou and taking control of Jiaozhou, Benzhou has nothing to say."
"But if I want to capture Benzhou alive, let alone you, even the royal family can't do it. Su Qian, Benzhou takes a step first and will watch you from underground. As far as I can go step by step, I will wait for you underground!"
After saying this, Li Kang jumped off the top floor in front of countless people, and died on the spot.
Li Kang's suicide was unexpected by Su Qi'an. Regardless of the two camps, Li Kang was a strong woman. Compared with Tang Feng's cautiousness, this way of death was quite manly.
Su Qi'an still admires this kind of person.
He turned his head and said to Su Yong, "Arrange the manpower and prepare a coffin to bury Li Kang's body safely."
