Chapter 82: Fighting to the Death with the Coffin
When I returned to the courtyard, Mo Qiu had already left.
The invasion of the four-nation coalition forces is a major change that has not happened in Dayue for a hundred years! The Mohist School can no longer limit its vision to this small world.
The war is fierce and dangerous, and there is no time to lose. A Mohist school is indeed nothing compared to the entire battlefield, but we cannot do nothing.
But the chain reaction of all this has just begun! A large number of Mohist people were sent to Yuzhou, and they must get the news as soon as possible.
At the same time, Yuzhou.
The fighting was deafening.
Blood, rain of arrows, wailing and screaming linger in my ears all the time.
Zhang Qihan looked at the coalition forces of four nations swarming towards the city. The golden armor on his body shone brightly in the sun. He was standing on the city wall with an open coffin behind him.
His life was saved on the battlefield, and now his old wounds have not healed, but the war will not wait.
The loss of 100,000 experienced border soldiers was a deep pain for Dayue.
In a short period of time, it is simply impossible and too late to organize any effective troops to fight the enemy, not to mention that the number of the enemy is far beyond what Yuzhou can catch up with.
Not every adult male who can hold a weapon is a soldier. Those who have not been trained and have never seen blood and are gathered together can only be called a mob, which is even worse than nothing.
But the war is urgent, how can we care about so many things?
Those who can still breathe must go, even if it means sacrificing their lives!
If we can hold off the enemy here for a moment, we can buy more reaction time for the rear. This is the general's responsibility.
"General, the kerosene is all used up."
"General, the arrows have run out."
"General, the gold juice is almost used up."
Messengers kept coming to report the news.
It doesn't matter which one is bad, the only difference is which one is worse.
Zhang Qihan listened silently, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes.
The great victory seemed to be just yesterday, and now the city is about to fall! Once this pass is lost, there will be no more checkpoints in Yuzhou behind that can buffer the army. At that time, the coalition forces can march straight in and conquer everywhere with the advantage of large numbers of soldiers and generals!
He has persisted in this unequal war for more than a month. Isn't it time for the news to reach the government?
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers fighting hard around him, and occasionally some enemy soldiers climbed up the city wall with ladders, Zhang Qihan waved the sword in his hand, and bloodshot eyes appeared.
He couldn't retreat any further. Behind him were the millions of people of Dayue. How could he face the families of the soldiers who died in the battle? He swung his sword again and again, but the familiar shouts around him became less and less.
"General, we are about to lose."
At some point, a personal soldier came to his side, his voice sounded like crying.
"What?"
Zhang Qihan, whose face was blurred by blood, stared at him like an angry lion, "I'm not dead yet, how dare you say we've lost?!"
"General, let's go. As long as we have the green mountains, we will never be short of firewood! In addition to Yuzhou, there are Yunzhou and Yangzhou behind us. The court will also send people to support us!" The personal soldiers begged bitterly.
"Except Yuzhou? Ha. You want to leave Yuzhou in my hands?! Although the world is big, the people behind me are the land. How dare you retreat?"
Zhang Qihan swung his sword and cut down the enemy who climbed up the wall again. "The coffin is right there. If you want me to leave, just put me in it!"
"General, we really can't stop them." The soldier wanted to say something else, but a sharp sword had already pierced his heart and lungs.
Zhang Qihan was furious and was about to chop him to death.
But he saw one figure after another walking towards him, and the one in front was someone he had never seen before.
But when he saw three bird feathers stuck on the other person's head, he recognized his identity instantly.
Commander of Daqing, Liu Xuanqi.
"General Zhang, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Liu Xuanqi greeted him with a smile, and glanced at the coffin placed on the tower, "Hmm~ Carrying the coffin and fighting to the death, it's a very high level of awareness! I wonder if my Daqing soldiers, General Zhang, will enjoy it when the killing begins?"
"you"
Zhang Qihan's eyes were wide open with anger. It was this man who used the lives of tens of thousands of Daqing soldiers as bait and forcibly led the Dayue soldiers to the Hengjie Mountains, which eventually led to the four-nation coalition forces taking advantage of the situation to surround them. Only a few thousand of the 100,000 soldiers barely escaped.
Cruel to your own people, even more cruel to the enemy! "Don't be angry, this is just the beginning. After so many years of fighting, General Zhang must be tired, right? I'll send you to meet those comrades. Oh, by the way, you don't have to miss the people of Dayue too much, I'll send them to accompany you soon." Liu Xuanqi said gently.
"Die!"
Zhang Qihan could no longer bear it and raised the sword in his hand to chop at him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The wind was whistling, and an arrow had already pierced through the armor and went straight to the heart.
The blood-stained general, holding a sword, finally used up his last bit of strength and fell straight down.
Liu Xuanqi looked at the fallen figure, his eyes swept across the opened coffin not far away, sneered, and said, "He wants to be put in a coffin after he dies? There is no such thing. Chop off his head and hang it on the spear!"
Having solved the last stubborn problem, Liu Xuanqi was very happy. He deserved to be famous in the world! After this, Yuzhou was just a lamb to be slaughtered. It would be difficult to organize any effective resistance.
By using intentional tactics to counter the unintentional ones, the coalition forces almost won a complete victory.
"Tell all the soldiers that once we invade Yuzhou, we must not put down our weapons for ten days. How much you can get depends entirely on yourself." Liu Xuanqi ordered with a ferocious smile on his face.
Cheers came from the city. Once human nature is unleashed, the damage it causes will be beyond expectations.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. If the Mohists can receive the message, then others can naturally receive it as well.
Yuzhou.
The White Lotus Sect Leader held the letter in his hand, his eyes flickering, "Is this news true?"
The subordinate immediately said, "It was the spy who risked his life to investigate. It's absolutely true!"
"OK!"
The White Lotus leader clapped his hands and laughed, "It is time for our sect to be born!"
The subordinate hesitated and said, "Besides that, the Huang Dynasty has rebelled in Yangzhou, gathering the people and calling themselves the Huang Tian Army. They killed all the wealthy merchants, powerful people, and noble families along the way, distributed money, and measured the land and returned it to the people. They have won the hearts of the people and should not be underestimated!"
"Huang Chao?!"
The face of the White Lotus leader was gloomy. He had fought with the Huang Dynasty before, so he should not be underestimated. But no one expected that he would rebel even more actively than the White Lotus. It was really outrageous!
With this thought in mind, the White Lotus Sect Leader asked, "What about Mo Qiu? His skills are no less than ours, and he founded the Mohist School and attracted thousands of followers. In this chaotic world, he should have done something. What has he done?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "The Mohist School has not changed at all. They are just adding fuel to the fire."
The White Lotus leader nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, all the followers will gather together and plan for the great cause!"
