Chapter 211 Suspicion
The originally excited victorious army suddenly turned into a living hell.
Screams, screams, and horse neighs mixed together.
This sudden collapse left the people at a loss as to what to do and they didn't even have the strength to fight back. The vanguard troops were killed, and the people behind immediately became alert and dared not move forward. King Yu's men had already been buried on both sides of the corridor.
The moment the vanguard fell into the pit, they poured kerosene into the pit and threw torches into it.
boom!
The moment flames shot up into the sky, this hell turned into purgatory.
Jixiang stood in front of the fire, watching the people and horses in the pit being burned to death. He gritted his teeth at the miserable struggling figures and said, "These beasts."
Su Qingqing had long experienced the perversion and inhumanity of the Takle tribe. At this moment, she stared blankly ahead. Wang Yu stood beside her, "General."
Su Qingqing ordered coldly, "Bury it in the soil!"
"yes!"
The moment he learned that the other party was from the Takker tribe, Su Qingqing, as a general who had dealt with him for many years, immediately guessed that there would be such a fight.
So when the personal soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo rushed in, she had no intention of fighting for it. Of course, since she had guessed it, she had prepared a countermeasure in advance.
As flames shot up into the sky, the sand and soil that Su Qingqing had prepared in advance was brought in. Those who were burned inside, regardless of whether they were burned to death or not, were buried alive when the large amount of sand and soil was filled in.
For every inch of sand filled in, the soldiers behind moved forward an inch. Across the fire, the two groups of troops continued to attack with arrows from a distance, resulting in countless casualties. However, the distance of the tunnel that was dug out was not long. After about an hour, the fire was extinguished by the sand, and the soldiers behind rushed forward.
Having failed to stop the incoming troops and having lost nearly half of his men, King Yu stood in the corridor of the imperial study with a grim face.
The emperor's body had just been buried in that place.
He stood there, his eyes filled with sinister coldness, "They actually prepared the sand in advance. Among these people, there must be people from the Su family army!"
The third prince thought for a moment, "Wang Yu was the commander of the Xishan Camp, and he was Su Qingqing's deputy general at the time."
Prince Yu clenched his fist and looked at the Third Prince. "The Xishan camp is in disarray. It is impossible for Wang Yu alone to deal with the fire so calmly and promptly."
The third prince said, "Before, my father wanted to raise a group of private soldiers, and Wang Yu recruited and trained them for him."
King Yu raised his eyebrows, "It's only been a short time. If you want to stabilize the situation in the first place under such circumstances, it is definitely not something that can be achieved in just a few months of training."
The Third Prince was startled, "What does Father mean?"
King Yu rubbed his fingertips and said, "There must be many people from the Su family army here. Only these people can prepare sand and soil in advance for a situation like today. Only these people can respond calmly in the fire."
King Yu had been in confrontation and entanglement with Su Qingqing in Liaodong for several years, and he had a strong intuition that the person he was dealing with now was Su Qingqing.
But Su Qingqing is dead!
Completely dead.
With his eyebrows furrowed, King Yu asked, "How many of them have come in now?"
The Third Prince said, "All of them have come in, about three thousand soldiers and horses."
King Yu sneered, "Close the door and beat the dog!"
The Third Prince clasped his fists and accepted the order, "Your son will go right away!"
A blinding stray bullet was thrown into the sky, and the Third Prince turned and left with a triumphant smile.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
The Queen Mother stood in the courtyard, feeling uneasy.
This fierce battle has lasted for five hours since this morning. Just now, news came that the personal soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo mistakenly fell into an ambush during the charge and were killed without a single one left.
The news almost made the Queen Mother faint.
At this moment, looking towards the direction of the palace and listening to the sounds of killing over there, she was terrified.
Suddenly.
A dazzling white light shot up into the sky, dazzling in the dark night sky.
The moment the stray bullet was launched into the air, the Queen Mother spat out a mouthful of blood. The nanny beside her hurriedly supported her, "Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother staggered and stood firm, then turned to He Chao and said, "Mr. He!"
He Chao stopped looking up and said, "It should be King Yu recruiting reinforcements!"
The Queen Mother's breath was stagnant.
The Zhenguogong party has used up all its troops, but King Yu still has some troops.
Is this God’s will to destroy the Great Yan Dynasty?
He Chao looked at the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty is still surrounding the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion. I guess there must be some purpose behind it."
He sighed, "At this time, if Rong'an Marquis' Mansion is willing to help us, we may still have a chance of survival. If not, I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was exactly right.
The Queen Mother stared at He Chao, a young man in his early twenties, and said, "If there is no hope, Mr. He will be buried with Dayan Chao."
He Chao pursed his lips and smiled tiredly, "If the queen wants me to be buried alive now, I can also commit suicide in front of the queen immediately. In my life, the Duke has given me glory that no one else has. I should live and die ."
As he said that, he turned around, reached out to the guard on the side, pulled out the sword from the guard's waist, and slashed it towards his neck without blinking.
The Queen Mother was startled and hurriedly winked at the guard, who raised his hand and knocked the sword down with a palm.
He Chao looked at the fallen sword and said, "At this point, Your Majesty, I don't know why you suddenly suspect me. I will die to show my loyalty. Isn't that good?"
The Queen Mother looked at him and asked, "Are you really loyal to the Duke of Zhenguo?"
He Chao sneered, "I told you, do you believe it?"
The Queen Mother immediately laughed and said, "I want to ask you, where is the Crown Prince?"
He Chao was stunned for a moment, then he understood, "Your Majesty, do you suspect that I am the prince's man? Since you suspect me, I have nothing to say. Your Majesty can deal with me as you wish."
With his hands behind his back, He Chao didn't say another word.
He could choose not to say it, but the Queen Mother didn't dare to waste time.
After staring at He Chao for a moment, the Queen Mother turned around and ordered, "Bring the prince of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion here."
The servants went to carry out the order. The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Don't blame me for doubting you. It is because of today's matter. If I and King Yu are entangled and both of us suffer losses, and we each use all our troops, the only one who will benefit in the end is the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has his own troops. After we have been entangled for so long, if the Crown Prince shows up again, it will be a win-win situation."
He Chao sneered, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, just order your men to retreat."
Having said that, he knew that the Queen Mother had no room to retreat.
All of the personal soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo have been killed. Once they retreat, the entire Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will lose its protective power. The Xishan Camp is simply unable to defend the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which gives King Yu a chance to catch his breath. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is doomed to perish.
He Chao looked at the Queen Mother's expression and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand why you suspect me. What did I do to make you think I'm a spy?"
The Queen Mother pinched her brows and said, "You are too calm."
