Chapter 426: Swinging the Sword at the Qiang Soldiers
When Qian Dazhuang saw Zhang Heng suddenly burst into laughter, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
However, Zhang Heng immediately spoke:
"General Qian, I was right about you. I want to hand over the heavy artillery team outside the city to you. No matter what you want to do in the future, my people will not act rashly. And you should have heard that my people were killed by the Qiang people in the city today."
When Qian Dazhuang heard this, he had already roughly guessed Zhang Heng's intention and asked, "Why doesn't General Zhang work with us?"
"Hey……"
Zhang Heng sighed deeply, his expression gloomy, his eyes revealing deep helplessness and pain, and said:
"General, you may not know that when we came here, the Sima family had no intention of letting you take over Chang'an City. I think the Sima family secretly approved of all these things that happened."
After saying this, he leaned closer to Qian Dazhuang and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others, and continued: "Our family is still in their hands, and I had no choice but to do this."
Zhang Heng's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Qian Dazhuang's heart, making him instantly understand Zhang Heng's difficulties.
Qian Dazhuang shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing understanding and sympathy for Zhang Heng.
At this time, Zhang Heng silently took out a token and handed it to Qian Dazhuang without saying a word.
Qian Dazhuang was well aware of the importance of this token, which meant that he could make the artillery outside the city obey his command.
After handing over the token, Zhang Heng hurried away with his men.
"Take this token and have the artillery outside the city lower their guns and aim at the north gate of Chang'an. No one can act without our order."
When Shi Yongzhi came in, Qian Dazhuang handed the token to the captain of his personal guard and gave solemn instructions.
"As you command, General."
The captain knew very well that this was an important task entrusted to him by Qian Dazhuang. In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, he took ten personal guards with him when he left.
Shi Yongzhi had been outside the tent and had heard the conversation inside. His face was solemn as he asked cautiously, "Are we going to move tonight?"
Qian Dazhuang looked around at everyone in the military tent and said with a firm look:
"General Shi, he said he won't make any moves. This means the enemy has about 30,000 to 40,000 men. We are deploying 50,000 men. Whether we can succeed depends on your and my deployment and the bravery of our soldiers."
Seeing Qian Dazhuang's determination, Shi Yongzhi puffed out his chest, patted his chest vigorously, and said passionately: "General, don't worry, I will not be a human being until I get rid of this thief."
Qian Dazhuang stopped talking nonsense and said decisively with a wave of his hand: "Go and gather the troops, and take action immediately."
After receiving the order, Shi Yongzhi walked out quickly with several soldiers.
After a while, there was a commotion in the camp and people began to gather quickly.
The north gate was guarded by the Qin army, and the movement outside the city had not yet been noticed by those inside.
While the Qiang soldiers were still looting unscrupulously, they suddenly encountered a group of people rushing towards them. Without saying a word, they drew their swords and attacked them fiercely.
For a moment, no one could figure out the situation. Some people even suspected that another group of people were dissatisfied with the brutal behavior of the Qiang people and started fighting out of a sense of justice.
"Captain, there has been another mutiny in the city. Send someone to suppress it quickly."
Hu Yimu was enjoying the captured woman in the tent when he was interrupted by a Qiang soldier guard who came hurriedly.
"Fuck, how could something like this happen again? Whose subordinates are these? They are so brave."
He stood up angrily and cursed, then pulled a blanket over himself and said to the man, "Go find two teams and kill these damned restless people."
The visitor was stunned at first, then reacted, forced a flattering smile on his face, and walked out with a smile.
In Chang'an City, East Street.
Scattered Qiang people were smashing, looting and looting indiscriminately on the streets. At this time, some people wearing the uniforms of the surrounding army appeared. When they saw these Qiang people, they waved their hands, pulled out their machetes and rushed towards these Qiang soldiers without saying a word.
In an instant, another hundred or so Qiang people fell to the ground.
"Who are you to dare to attack our Qiang soldiers?"
Following an angry shout, several hundred Qiang soldiers appeared, riding their horses and charging forward aggressively.
The other party said nothing and turned and ran towards an alley.
The Qiang soldiers quickly chased after them.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Suddenly, countless arrows flew out from both sides of the alley, and the passers-by were shot down from their horses.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Qiang soldiers behind quickly turned their horses around and prepared to retreat. Unexpectedly, many soldiers jumped out from the upstairs, swung their swords and knocked the Qiang soldiers on their horses to the ground.
After everyone was killed, a man walked out of the darkness and slashed a Qiang soldier who was still groaning in pain on the ground with a knife.
"Damn it! Why are you running out instead of sleeping in the barracks? Let's go to their camp."
Everyone put away their swords and guns, and some people went to lead the ownerless horses, and followed the crowd to walk quickly towards the other end of the city.
Hu Yimu learned that there had been mutinies in many places in the city. He was very dissatisfied and thought that Zhang Heng's troops had been in trouble again. So he shouted loudly: "Bring the people, let's go to the Sima family's army."
The war horses in the Qiang army camp neighed, and then three thousand soldiers marched out of the camp and headed towards the west gate where Zhang Heng was stationed.
Zhang Heng knew that something would happen tonight, so he asked people to set up the artillery and install the shells early, ready to fire at any time.
He was looking out from the city wall when he saw Hu Yimu and his men coming over.
"Stop, this is a military camp, no one is allowed to approach!"
In front of the military camp, a soldier shouted loudly.
"call out……"
Without a word, Hu Yimu picked up his bow and arrow and shot at the soldiers who had shouted. After he finished, he roared, "Let your leader come out and explain why you have been mutinous tonight."
When Zhang Heng saw Hu Yimu shoot his soldiers without saying a word, he was already burning with anger.
He quietly instructed his soldiers to take aim and be ready to fire at any moment, then he walked to the battlements and said:
"You are too arrogant! My soldiers are all in the barracks and have never gone out. How could you kill my men without saying a word?"
Suddenly Yimu saw Zhang Heng on the city wall, his face full of contempt, and he laughed wildly, "You bastard, I don't care whether you go out or not, but if your people from the Great Zhou appear in the city, you will be responsible for them. What's wrong with killing you? Your father will kill you again today."
After saying that, Hu Yimu shot another arrow towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng was startled when he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air. The white arrow tail drew a sharp arc and was about to hit... Hmm?
Zhang Heng felt that the arrow was a little off. He reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed the arrow, then stabbed it into his armor. Then he screamed and fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, Zhang Heng lowered his voice and said to the people around him: "Fire at me."
The people around him were all his trusted confidants. They immediately understood Zhang Heng's intention and cried out in tears: "The Qiang people shot our general. Bomb them to death with the cannon."
Upon hearing this, the artillerymen, who had been prepared in advance, immediately fired various types of cannons.
With a cannon shot, the shell flew towards Hu Yimu, followed by a deafening explosion.
The soldiers looked in the direction of Hu Yimu, only to see him, like a kite with its string cut, instantly thrown into the sky by the blast...
