Chapter 176: Jialing Pass Broken
"This is the Qingrong people!"
Wushang's hoarse voice sounded behind Ruan Qingqing.
"Aren't the Qingrong people blocked at Jialing Pass?" Suddenly, Ruan Qingqing was shocked by her own guess, "They can't be that crazy, right?"
"Is there anything they dare not do?" Wushang's sarcastic voice was tinged with sadness in the cold wind.
"Wu Shang, did you remember something?" Ruan Qingqing turned her head to look at him.
"Well, don't worry, I won't harm you and the people in Zaoziling. It's just that there are some things that are inconvenient to reveal to you, please forgive me!" Wushang lowered his head.
"It doesn't matter. The important thing now is to stop them from entering the village!" As long as she was sure that they were not enemies, Ruan Qingqing had no interest in exploring other people's secrets.
"Thank you!"
Wushang's voice was very light and was quickly torn into pieces in the air by the cold wind.
The Qingrong people were well prepared, with logs for battering down doors, ladders for climbing walls, arrows flying all over the sky, and sturdy shields.
Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips into a straight line. If they continued to attack like this, they might succeed in less than two days.
"Wushang, do you have a way to kill their leader?"
"It's difficult. Not only are there a lot of them, but they also have archers. It's not easy to get close to them." Wu Shang took a few steps forward and after observing for a while, he shook his head.
"Then we must hold on for as long as possible. I hope they can return to the mountains as soon as possible!"
They fought for three days and three nights, and more than a dozen catapults were all broken due to the frequent throwing of stones. Most of the other mechanisms on the wall were also broken.
It seemed as if the Qingrong people were endlessly killed.
"Qingqing, it's no use. We have nothing left to hurt those bandits!" The villagers' legs and feet were shaking. After three days and three nights of high-intensity fighting, they had reached their limits.
"We retreat!"
"Qingqing, please retreat! I really can't walk anymore!" someone cried.
"No! If we stay here we will only die. Cheer up! As long as we hide in the mountains, they won't be able to do anything to us for a while." Ruan Qingqing used a long stick to support her body, saying while panting.
“We’ve really reached our limit!”
"How about this! My family has dug a tunnel. Let's go to the tunnel with me first and hide there. After you have rested, we can run to the mountains."
Looking at everyone stumbling on the ground, Ruan Qingqing finally came up with this idea.
"Okay! Let's do it!"
Everyone walked towards Ruan Qingqing's house tremblingly. Just as they hid in the tunnel, noisy footsteps were heard outside.
After the footsteps faded away, Ruan Qingqing urged everyone to hurry up.
Except for the ten guards given by Fu Yuanhao and Wushang, the other ten villagers who came with her fainted and could not be awakened no matter how they were called.
"Let's take turns carrying them away. They'll freeze to death if they lie here!"
"it is good!"
The exit of the tunnel is near Wudaoling.
When they came out, the Qingrong people had not yet searched here.
Ruan Qingqing was tired and hungry. When she sat on the ground to rest for a while, she accidentally saw some potatoes left in the field. She didn't care about anything else and wiped the potatoes on the grass next to her and stuffed them into her mouth. After eating two, the burning sensation in her stomach was not so obvious.
"Hurry, here are some potatoes, everyone, eat some first."
The others were also very hungry. When they saw the potatoes being rubbed on their bodies, they began to eat them with a crunch.
Each person ate two potatoes, and continued searching after they had enough strength. The ten people who had fainted woke up one after another and joined the team searching for potatoes.
Except for what they ate, everyone put two in their pockets and then stopped.
"Hurry up, let's hide in the woods!"
Wushang reminds everyone.
After entering the woods and climbing over two mountains, everyone felt like they had escaped.
But by then it was completely dark.
Wu Shang made several torches on the spot and handed them out to everyone. "We should hurry to the mountains as soon as possible. They didn't get any advantage in the village, so they will definitely search the mountains tomorrow."
No one dared to delay. They had all witnessed the bravery and ferocity of the Qingrong people. If they really met them face to face, their chances of winning would be slim.
"it is good!"
Everyone supported each other and followed Ruan Qingqing as they walked forward, taking one step forward and one step back. Fortunately, Ruan Qingqing was familiar with this road, so she was not afraid of getting lost.
Wushang was responsible for erasing the traces at the back.
In front of the Jiangxia government office, a cavalryman jumped off his horse before it even stopped and rushed inside in a hurry.
"Report! Urgent report!"
Everyone he met automatically made way for him.
"Report, urgent report!"
Zhou Zheng was originally lying on the table, ready to take a nap, but when he heard the urgent voice, all his sleepiness disappeared.
"Xize, what's the urgent news? Send the messenger to come forward and report."
"Yes! Your lord!"
"Report, urgent report!"
The messenger ran all the way to Zhou Zheng with an urgent report in his hand.
"Submit the urgent report!"
Zhou Zheng couldn't help but stand up, quickly took the urgent report from Xize's hand, and read it quickly.
Finally, he couldn't help but slam his hand on the desk, "Cheng Yuanqing, that old bastard! He is truly harming the country and the people!"
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Jialing Pass fell, and a group of Qingrong people disguised as Yunqing's soldiers were led to Qingshui County by someone with ulterior motives. Qingshui County has fallen, and several villages have been massacred."
Xi Ze's pupils shrank. "Even if Jialing Pass is breached, what about the garrisons in Jialing Prefecture and Xiling Prefecture? How can they watch the Qingrong people enter the pass? And where did they get the military uniforms to disguise themselves as our Yunqing soldiers?"
"You'll have to ask that old bastard Cheng Yuanqing!" Zhou Zheng said gritting his teeth.
"This is a crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, punishable by death for all generations! How dare he do that?"
"What would he not dare to do to avenge his son? Retribution! It's really retribution! Back then, he harmed the Chi family army with a clear conscience, but the emperor didn't give the Chi family army an explanation. When he overturned the case for the Chi family army, the emperor only reprimanded him lightly.
What's going on now? They've made the emperor's kingdom in jeopardy! I wonder if the emperor regrets it now?"
Regret! Murong Jinyang regretted it so much!
"Pass the decree down. Whoever can capture Cheng Yuanqing alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. I will execute him by slow slicing!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Zhou Che tried to comfort him.
"He dared to collude with Qing Rong and destroy my Yunqing grain base. I will make him pay the price!"
"Your Majesty, please dispatch troops to Lulin for rescue. Otherwise, the soldiers at Xiyu Pass will be attacked from all sides, and their food and grass supplies will also be cut off. If this continues, a large area of land south of Qianlong River will be lost."
Zhou Che suggested with tears in his eyes.
"Lulin is an important city of our Yunqing country, we must not lose it!" Murong Jinyang agreed. If we hand over our granary to others, the country will soon be destroyed.
He was an emperor of great military strategy and wisdom, how could he be a king who destroyed his country!
"Lord Zhou, I order you to lead 20,000 guards to fight on my behalf. You must kill all the Qingrong people in Qingshui County!"
Zhou Che wanted to say that he was just a civil official, but now there is really no good general in the whole Yunqing who can take on this task.
The Imperial Guards were in charge of the war, and he was just representing the Emperor to appease the people.
After thinking through these hurdles, Zhou Che gladly accepted the order.
"Sir, obey!"
