Chapter 452: The Emperor’s Destruction of the Zhenguo Mansion (22)
But everyone tacitly hid a portion of it. As long as the amount hidden was not too large, no one would come to search them.
Suddenly, some of the people who stood up to exchange prisoners saw a pair of carriages approaching quickly in the distance.
The sacks piled high on the carriage were obviously sacks of grain.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked over there.
The city had been under siege for a full month and a half, and the city had been out of food for several days.
When he suddenly saw food, wouldn't his eyes light up as if he had seen his reborn parents?
He was stopped in his tracks by Qi Lao Ba's loud shout.
“The food won’t run away, tie up the prisoners first.
Otherwise, when the effect of the medicine wears off, who knows what will happen.”
Everyone then woke up and quickly finished their work.
When the food arrived, Qi Lao Ba was not stingy and waited to transport the food back to the city.
He directed some women, children and the elderly to start cooking.
Then, when he found out that there were at least 200,000 dan of grain, he immediately sent people there to provide support.
It is imperative to bring back the food, weapons, armor, cotton clothes, etc. from there as soon as possible.
It took an hour before all the food was moved over there.
Some people have already started to strip those people of their clothes and weapons.
A soldier from the Qi family army took out a stack of banknotes from the inner pocket of a Beiyun general.
Looking at the stack of silver notes printed with Qingguo Tongbao, he suddenly picked up the scimitar beside him like a madman and slashed the general's neck.
He roared loudly, "Damn Beimo dog, kill Beimo dog!"
After killing them, he crawled on the ground and cried loudly.
"Dad, Mom, wife, dog, I've avenged you!"
After saying that, he suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand again and stabbed the motionless person next to him.
In an instant, expressions of hatred appeared on the faces of most of the people present.
He grabbed the captured weapons in his hands and stabbed them hard into the bodies of the Beiyun soldiers.
These people were all ordinary people whose families were destroyed by the Northern Desert Army and who had no choice but to join the army to avenge their wives and children!
Now in their eyes, these people are not captives who can be exchanged for benefits with the Northern Desert Kingdom, but sworn enemies who killed their fathers and mothers.
These people were very quick and before anyone could stop them, not a single one of the more than 1 people on the ground was alive.
Then they all knelt in front of Shuangshuang.
"Master Qi, we have violated military orders and are willing to accept punishment."
They all raised their scimitars and slashed at their necks, only to be met with a roar of anger from both sides.
"Everyone, stop it!"
The town mayor stopped what he was doing.
Shuangshuang ignored them and just glanced at Liu Dazhuang next to her.
"Uncle Liu, remember this, when you get back, go ask my Big Brother for credit.
Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission this time. Not only did we burn Beiyun's food supplies, but we also set fire to Beiyun's military camp.
We wiped out over 10,000 enemies and won a great victory!"
After saying that, he snorted, mounted a horse and rode away quickly.
All the Qi family soldiers present knelt down and kowtowed in the direction where Shuangshuang left!
"Master Qi, I swear to be loyal to the Qi family army until death."
Seeing the man and horse running far away, Liu Dazhuang said to the kneeling person.
"Hurry up and get up! Go find all the lamp oil in the camp, we still need to burn the food and the camp!"
Everyone knew what Liu Dazhuang meant, their eyes filled with surprise, and they moved quickly.
For Shuangshuang, a general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers, so there is nothing wrong with these people killing the enemy in order to avenge their loved ones.
Although she herself would not be affected by this cause and effect, it was none of his business if others eliminated the cause and effect themselves.
At the border between Qing Kingdom and Beimo Kingdom, there is a valley with smooth cliffs on both sides and no place to stand.
The men of the Qi family army were all skinny and bony, hiding naked in the leeward place, trying to find ways to save themselves.
The unshaven Duke Zhenguo looked worriedly at his brothers and comrades in front of him.
At the beginning, the Duke of Zhenguo was betrayed by his subordinates, who said that they could go directly to the Northern Desert from here.
In order to resolve the war as soon as possible, he resolutely took a small number of people with him and planned to sneak into the Northern Desert from here to strike first.
But when I came here, I found that everything was a conspiracy.
The path leading to the northern desert was completely blocked.
Knowing that he had been cheated, he hurriedly wanted to go back.
But the way in was blocked by rocks and logs that had suddenly rolled down.
At the beginning, the Duke of Zhenguo also tried to lead everyone to break out.
The blocked area happens to be the narrowest part of the canyon.
The Northern Desert Army stood there, one man blocking the way and ten thousand men unable to break through.
After the Qi family army charged several times and suffered some casualties, they retreated back to the valley to think of other ways.
At this time, their food and grass had long been eaten up, and the grass and leaves at the bottom of the valley were almost eaten up by them.
If we can't find a way out, I'm afraid we will all be trapped here to death.
A plan was devised a month ago. Someone was sent with nimble hands and feet to go up the cliffs to get help, relying on the protruding rocks and plants growing on them.
In order to clear the road, everyone took off their clothes and pants and tied them into a life-saving rope.
Whenever the soldiers climbed to a solid protrusion, they would tie a piece of cloth there so that those who came later could grab the lifeline and climb up.
However, the cliff was too steep and there were few footholds, and many soldiers had fallen down during this period.
Although there was a thick layer of dead leaves and loose soil underneath, the cushioning did not affect their fate.
But they were all seriously injured, and if they were not treated, they would probably not be able to hold on.
At this time, everyone was nervously looking at the soldiers who had already climbed one-third of the way up.
This is the highest climb and has the greatest hope.
Because the higher you go, the more there are and the more places to stay.
Shuangshuang learned about the situation in the valley from Xiaojuzi and did not wait for them to save themselves.
He went to ask Qi Lao Ba for the two thousand people who had gone to the Beimo military camp before, and then went to the canyon.
The Northern Desert Army did not have many men at the valley entrance, and because they had trapped the people, they took it for granted that the Qi Family Army could not get out.
At this time, they were having a barbecue to celebrate in advance, and some of their subordinates were flattering the leader.
"Boss, since we captured the Duke alive, you have made the greatest contribution. I think you can be promoted two levels higher."
The so-called boss smiled smugly, "Don't worry, I will report your achievements to the higher-ups."
"Thank you very much, sir."
A group of people were chatting smugly and arrogantly.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers who was carrying firewood suddenly started shouting in panic.
"Boss, Boss, it's bad, our camp is on fire!"
The soldier who had been flattering the boss before immediately shouted at him unhappily.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Our camp is well-defended, how could a fire possibly start?"
"That's right. Our soldiers are trapped in Dingyun City. How can we burn the camp?"
However, the soldier's face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
She almost burst into tears. "It's true. Come and see if you don't believe me."
