Eunuch Commands - C135
Hei Long picked up the defeated army and fled several kilometers away in panic. When he looked back and saw that there were no more pursuers, he heaved a sigh of relief.
His personal guard hurriedly helped Hei Long up. Some soldiers who knew how to cure the soldiers came over and carefully undid Hei Long’s thick and heavy armor. They applied some anesthetic medicinal herbs to his wounds, took out a sharp ear knife, and gently cut open his skin and took out the arrow.
Hei Long was in pain, he slowly regained his senses and said sinisterly: “This Southern Barbaric is truly despicable, someday I will devour his flesh and vent the hatred in my heart!”
Hei Long looked around, actually over a thousand of his five thousand elite soldiers had died, he did not know the situation inside the mountains, and could only return to see Wushu.
Although Wushu had heard of the Liang Shan’s name before, he was, after all, just an organized bandit group. He did not take it to heart, but this time, Hei Long’s five thousand elite soldiers were actually met with such a head-on attack, and were almost defeated by Lin Chong and Hua Rong, it was simply unbelievable.
Ha Michi suddenly remembered something, “Wolf Master, you still remember the battle at Wu Long Mountain Range …”
Wushu suddenly realized, “Are you saying that it was those two thieves again?!”
When they were at the Wu Dragon Ridge, Wushu had personally exchanged blows with Lin Chong, and Chi Yan had nearly lost his life from being shot by Hua Rong’s chain arrows. It was extremely similar to what Hei Long had described.
Ha Michi quickly advised, “Wolf Master, do not be reckless, there are still twists and turns inside!”
Wushu was startled. “What do you mean?”
Ha Michi’s face revealed a deep worry, “I’m afraid that the majority of Liang Shan s are not far from the He Jian s.”
was still confused. The news of Liang Shan having been dispatched had already reached the He Jian, and it was already a thousand miles away from Hebei, which meant that Song Jiang would have to delay at least ten days to deliver the military equipment. Even if he had to rush all the way, it would take at least a month to reach the He Jian, and it had only been a short period of half a month.
Ha Michi shook his head, “The enemies of these people are most likely those strong people from Dark Dragon Ridge. From the looks of things, they are basically Liang Shan Army horses. In other words, the Liang Shan has been colluding with the Southern Barbaric Palace since a few months ago! ”
Wushu was stunned.
Ha Michi continued: “From this subordinate’s point of view, the marriage of the Song people is a complete and thorough conspiracy!”
Wushu slowly had the same thought and clenched his fists.
“The purpose of the fake promise to the Princess of Chongguo and letting the thieves plunder her and Xie E was to start a war before our army could completely defeat the Chidans. However, they never expected that my Great Jin State would be able to finish off the Chidan easily. The Song people were forced to use their Liang Shan Army horses ahead of time. ”
Wushu still did not understand, “What benefits does this have to the Song people?”
Ha Michi sneered, “It certainly won’t do any good to the Song Dynasty court, but it will do a great difference to some people. Who do you think is the most talented out of Zhao Ji’s sons? ”
Wushu thought for a while, “I’ve heard that the Nine Son Zhao Gou is an outstanding scholar, and is quite prestigious amongst the people of Song … Are you saying that all of this is Zhao Gou’s scheme?! ”
Ha Michi did not answer, but instead muttered to himself, “Not only are Xie E and Zhao Gou extremely similar on the outside, they even became sworn brothers …”
Wushu finally understood and sighed, “Ai, with Xie E coming up with a plan for Zhao Gou, everything isn’t strange anymore. “It’s a pity that such a talent cannot be used by me!”
“We originally wanted to capture Zhao Huan, and use Zhao Huan as a hostage to exchange for He Jian. Tai Yuan’s plan seems to be out of the question!”
Ha Michi said hatefully: “Zhao Gou would have liked for us to capture Zhao Huan, that way he can fight against us in name and reason. Although our army is brave and battle worthy, after all, we haven’t had the chance to rest after exterminating Liao, so if Zhao Gou invested enough troops, we would have no chance of winning. And Zhao Huan’s life is far more important than what we have imagined! ”
Wushu sighed worriedly: “If you say it like that, then wouldn’t we be Zhao Gou’s playthings this time?!”
Ha Michi let out a heavy snort. Who would be willing to be toyed with like that?
He leisurely said: “I think there’s definitely a swaying in the Liang Shan Army. Victory and defeat have yet to be decided!”
< p > “Oh?”
Wushu immediately became alert and immediately asked for the reason.
Ha Michi said: “On one side is the crown prince, and on the other side is only a prince. At most, you can add in the title of Privy Council envoy.
< p > “…”
Wushu secretly nodded.
‘s words had hit the nail on the head. To Song Jiang’s group, finding a stable and reliable backer was the most important goal. Zhao Huan’s identity as the crown prince was definitely enough for Song Jiang to come forth and protect him at all costs.
Wushu changed his strategy and temporarily gave up his pursuit of Zhao Huan. He devoted all of his energy into attacking the He Jian fortress.
He Jian City immediately seemed to be shaken by the elements.
Chone Shidao and Zhang Shuye only had around twenty thousand people defending them. They had been besieged for nearly a month, and their contact with the outside world was completely cut off.
The only last piece of news he had was that the southern gate had been ambushed, and had escaped back to the He Jian.
A few days later, Sans and Zhang had no news about the crown prince at all, and both of them were secretly determined to die, regardless of whether their He Jian could survive or not, they could not escape their crimes, so they hardened their hearts to defend their He Jian: Rather than receiving punishment, they might as well die on the battlefield!
After several days of hard work, the old general Chone Shidao, who was over seventy years old, was already exhausted. He could not get up at all and handed over the heavy responsibility of defending the city to Zhang Shuye.
Zhang Shuye had been a He Jian for a long time, and was well supported by the citizens. All the young and strong citizens of the city voluntarily joined in the defense, while the old, weak, and children were responsible for the treatment and transportation of the wounded.
The river was the only practical benefit that could be found since the conquest of the south. With the control of the river, it was tantamount to seizing the south gate and joining forces to launch a general attack.
Three days later, a three meter gap finally opened in the North City from the artillery fire. Golden soldiers poured in like a mad tide … Blood flows like rivers… Chone Shidao committed suicide on the sickbed, Zhang Shuye’s whereabouts were unknown, and his He Jian had fallen!
Ha Michi believed that in order to effectively control the He Jian in the long run, a large number of immigrants would have to enter the city. Wushu deeply hated that a small He Jian was able to slow his descent south for several months. Without hesitation, he gave the order to massacre the city for three days, and the entire He Jian City once again fell into a storm of blood and gore!
