Chapter 124: Trying to establish authority, but being held hostage
Just as Wang Guo was thinking about what to do next, a chaotic noise suddenly came from outside.
"what happened?"
Wang Guo frowned and looked outside the tent.
"General! Some deserters have been caught."
Before the kingdom could send anyone to check, a personal soldier came in to report.
"Hmm~?"
After hearing the report from his personal guards, Wang Guo couldn't help but stand up.
"What do you want to do?"
Although they did not know what was happening and therefore did not rush forward to help, they intentionally or unintentionally blocked the way of those who wanted to rescue the kingdom.
With their capabilities, it would be impossible for the Ming army to hide the explosives from them."
Then, Gu Qingwu and others reached into their arms, took out short knives, and handed them to Chen Qing and others who were kneeling on the ground.
This is probably the reason why he is a staff officer and Wang Dahu is the commander-in-chief.
When did Chen Qing and Gu Qingwu have such brave men under their command?
After a while, a drum sounded in the army to assemble.
You must know that military law is ruthless! It’s too late to beg for mercy now! "
Afterwards, Wang Guo led a dozen of his personal soldiers and slowly walked towards the platform, ready to explain to the soldiers below the stage the consequences of being a deserter.
Chen Qing begged for mercy loudly once again. The other soldiers kneeling on the ground also knelt forward and begged for mercy loudly, regardless of the long swords at their necks.
Chen Qing had his hands tied, but he still knelt on the ground and crawled towards Wang Guo, begging for mercy with a look of fear on his face.
He would only express his own opinions and strategies, and the one who would make the final decision was still the army commander Wang Dahu.
Perhaps because he has too many ideas and concerns, he is indeed not as good as Wang Dahu in making decisions on the spot.
"Ha, judging from various information, it should be credible."
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingwu, Chen Qing and others' eyes flashed. This kingdom was finally free from the protection of a large number of royal guards.
That was a deliberate arrangement by the king. He wanted all the soldiers to see the consequences of being a deserter.
"Come on! Follow me to take a look."
"Hmm~?"
Gu Qingwu shouted loudly, suppressing the voices of the crowd, and then approached Wang Guo and whispered:
Don't think that you can teach me how to do things just by catching some deserters.
When he reacted, he found that the person on top of him was Chen Qing who had been tied up earlier.
“General, they are just some deserters.
After everyone gradually realized what was happening, they couldn't help but burst into a chaotic noise.
Could it be, could it be, these are the People's Salvation Army?
When Wang Guo and his companions separated themselves from the crowd and entered the parade ground, they heard someone cursing angrily.
As Wang Guo spoke coldly, he was about to walk out.
Just cut off the head according to military law and circulate it among the troops to warn everyone. There is really no need for the general to do it himself."
Wang Guo's personal soldiers, who were anxious to save people, immediately started fighting with everyone on the stage.
"you you you"
Wang Guo looked at Gu Qingwu, smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
Although Xu Ming was still a little worried, he nodded.
Immediately, Wang Guo walked out of the military tent with a gloomy face.
Some people were hacked to death before they could even react, while others had their weapons knocked away and were killed instantly, as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Some of the personal soldiers had their necks slashed before they even drew their swords.
"Wow!"
From this, it can be seen that the kingdom now has lost the support of its military.
However, most of the soldiers were indifferent and watched all this happen with cold eyes, and some even gloated over it.
These people are really similar to the People's Salvation Army. Why didn't I see you being so brave when fighting against the People's Salvation Army?
One of his generals said indifferently.
The cold blade made Wang Guo shudder all over and he stopped many words he wanted to say. He did not resist at all and let Chen Qing pull him to the center of the platform.
“Well, you did a great job!”
Wang Guo was furious. He stretched out his hand and drew the long sword from the waist of his personal soldier. He strode towards Chen Qing, intending to chop him with the sword.
This sudden scene, except for a small number of people who knew the inside story and gradually guessed what had happened, most of the soldiers in the audience were basically all confused and had no idea what was going on.
Many people also wanted to go and rescue the kingdom.
"General! Do you think those people can be trusted?"
"Well! Then call all the soldiers to watch the execution and let them know the fate of being a deserter."
Gu Qingwu, who arrived later and saw this scene, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, feeling quite regretful.
I'm already thinking about whether to transfer him to work under my command.
"Captain Gu Qingwu pays his respects to the general."
However, at this time, Wang Guo, under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, retreated to the edge of the platform and was about to jump off the platform.
In addition, there were many people watching outside the arena.
"Oh, I want to see who is so bold as to be a deserter."
If they have the support of the People's Salvation Army
When thinking of this, many people couldn't help but shake their heads violently, getting rid of the ridiculous ideas in their minds. They were loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
"Chen Qing, you are unworthy of being a centurion of the Ming Dynasty. Instead of serving the Ming Dynasty, serving the emperor, and obeying the orders of the generals, you actually want to defect from the bandit camp."
He originally wanted to kill these deserters to establish his authority and to intimidate other soldiers who had other ulterior motives.
Especially those who were familiar with Chen Qing and Gu Qingwu, their faces were filled with disbelief.
"here we go!"
When the third drum sounded, all the soldiers in the Ming army camp, except those on guard around, had been summoned to the parade ground.
Wang Guo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Qingwu with a somewhat unfriendly look.
"It's still a bit dangerous. If they don't care about their own deaths and bury the gunpowder in advance, we won't be able to stop them."
When seeing this, some people couldn't help but secretly complain.
"it is good!"
Facing the kingdom's personal soldiers, their swordsmanship was sharp, and their strength and speed were far beyond the ordinary.
"General, I don't think it's appropriate to kill them now."
At this time, Wang Guo had gradually reacted and saw Chen Qing grinning at first sight.
Upon hearing this, both the kingdom and the general's expressions changed.
But suddenly, many people reacted and gradually opened their eyes wide as they looked at the man who was fighting bravely and invincible on the stage.
Looking at the other side, there were also many very powerful soldiers. With just a few steps, they had already rushed to Wang Guo and others.
Just when Wang Guo arrived at the center of the reviewing platform, Gu Qingwu signaled his soldiers to get ready.
Staff Officer Xu Ming was a little worried.
"As ordered!"
When he saw that the visitor was Wang Guo, he immediately knelt on one knee and bowed.
Judging from their performance, even though there are more soldiers below the stage, it is impossible to break through their defense in a short period of time.
It turns out that there is support from the People's Salvation Army. That's all right.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly pounced over.
"Ok!"
"How dare you instigate the soldiers to flee?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Qing and Gu Qingwu were shocked.
"Damn it, save the general!"
Chen Qing grinned, put the knife on his neck, then pulled him up and retreated to the center of the reviewing platform.
In an instant, he was thrown to the ground.
"Pfft!"
The sounds of weapons clashing and screams merged into one.
On the other side of the reviewing platform, by the time Gu Qingwu led the other soldiers to surround them, the king's personal guards had almost all been killed.
At this moment, the kingdom felt a chill in its heart.
The man seemed to be startled, his whole body was alert, and then he turned around quickly.
Killing them now would be a deterrent to others, but it would not be as direct and effective as watching the beheading in person."
Chen Qing and others, who were kneeling on the ground waiting to die, instantly untied the ropes tied on their hands according to the noose left in advance.
At this time, Chen Qing and his men had been taken to the parade ground and were being escorted and guarded by three to five hundred people. Some generals were angrily accusing and cursing Chen Qing.
Especially at this time, if it is not handled properly, it will cause big chaos.
Then they suddenly turned the blades, some of them raised their swords and killed Wang Guo and his men, while the other people rushed towards the generals' platform.
However, even if there are more soldiers under the reviewing platform, they cannot rush up in a short time.
"Thank you for the praise, General. This is all because of your good command of the army!"
Looking at the group of deserters kneeling in front of him and the chief centurion's petition, Wang Guo's face turned a little dark.
At this moment, the soldier who had just reported said again:
At the parade ground, Chen Qing and others were kneeling on the side, while Gu Qingwu led his men to escort them with knives.
It turned out that during the previous charge, Chen Qing had been paying attention to Wang Guo, and was able to knock him down before he jumped off the platform.
"Humph! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Some of the soldiers in particular were like they were given an injection of chicken blood, their speed and strength were incredibly powerful.
However, their way was blocked by a group of soldiers on the platform.
"Stop them!"
Wang Dahu said with a smile, and then changed the subject again, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth:
"Besides, even if it's a trap, so what? Can they stop us?"
"Um"
They said, how could people like Chen Qing and Gu Qingwu have the confidence to kidnap a commander of an army among nearly 10,000 soldiers?
It turns out that there was a Salvation Army secretly supporting them.
Chen Qing and others who took the daggers also acted instantly. Like Gu Qingwu and others, some of them killed Wang Guo and some rushed to the generals' platform.
Seeing this scene, Wang Guo was horrified and quickly ordered his personal soldiers to stop them. The generals under Wang Guo's command also reacted instantly and directed the soldiers to rescue.
"General, please spare my life. General, please spare my life."
"Choke!"
Now, not only did he fail to establish his authority, but he was also held hostage.
"Ding Dong!"
Even though the personal guards who followed raised their weapons, they were unable to block even a single blow from the attacks of those soldiers. Their weapons were knocked away and they were killed on the spot.
Wang Guo shouted and looked at the man with admiration.
"Don't you you you, it's mine mine mine."
"Yes, General, what this centurion said does make some sense."
This is really a fickle thing.
For a moment, everyone felt somewhat relieved.
Listening to the drum sounds coming from the Ming army camp, a faint sound suddenly rang out in a forest several miles away.
This, this, this.
Many people were stunned by the brave and invincible performance.
If you don't know how to praise others, don't do it. I have reason to suspect that you are mocking me.
A captain of a hundred households was naturally nothing to the Kingdom, but he was already a low- to middle-level military officer.
"presumptuous!"
“General, why don’t you gather all the soldiers to the parade ground to watch the execution.
"Eh~, let's not talk about whether they have that much gunpowder. Even if they do, they can't bury it quietly.
You know, the Ming army camp now has not only the Ming army tipping off people, but people from the Intelligence Department have also already infiltrated.
"This time, it's the captain who is making a petition, preparing to lead all his soldiers to defect."
"General, General, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance."
"what!"
However, he still had some hope in his heart.
Maybe these people are just asking for military pay and food?
This way, he still has hope of a comeback.
