The cyan fire reflected the panicked figures of the people, and in this situation of impending catastrophe, everyone had the threat of life and death on their heads, and they had long been ignorant of morality and ethics, pushing and crowding, for fear that the cannonballs glowing with ghost fire would fall on their heads.

However, outside the continuous ruins, in the road wrapped in green fire, a determined figure slowly walked out, with a person on his back and a child walking beside him, looking so lonely.

Jiang Ming took a lot of effort to rescue the mother and daughter from the rubble, the little girl was fine, but the woman's legs were hit by the beams on the roof, and she temporarily lost consciousness, and there was no way to walk by herself, so Jiang Ming had to carry it on her back.

The woman refused at first, although she was mentally weak, but she still adhered to the way of being a woman, Jiang Ming explained it for a long time to no avail, so she simply threw it directly on her back, and said sharply: "Your leg is cured, you may die if you stay there, if your husband says that you don't abide by the woman's way because of this matter, I will assassinate him with a halberd!"

The woman didn't struggle anymore.

Jiang Ming originally planned to go to the military camp to hide, but when he looked back, he thought that there was a strong enemy coming, and Liang Jin and the others stationed on the city wall naturally bore the brunt, and not only could they not find a place to hide, but they might fall into a crisis.

On the way, he heard some people say that there is a refuge placed by the city lord Yang Tafeng in the west of the city, and it is the farthest place in the city from the main city gate in the east, and there is the greatest chance that they can dodge the sulfur bomb, so Jiang Ming took the mother and daughter towards the west of the city.

The little girl Ling'er seemed to be frightened by Fang Cai's scene, she didn't speak after she came out, she just grabbed the corner of Jiang Ming's clothes when she walked, and the woman wondered: "Ling'er, are you okay?"

The little girl shook her head, obviously a little sluggish, recovered from her distraction, looked at the woman, and said: "Mother, why do you say these people are attacking Jiaozhi City? Those mountain bandits can meet us every day, and the people should be the same, but when there is a war, many people will suffer, are they bad people? Before, you said that the eldest brother is a bad person, but he has helped us many times, how can he be a bad person?"

The woman listened to the little girl's childish words, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Wohua Mountain used to be a heinous mountain bandit, but they never had a dispute with the people after entering Jiaozhi City, and even once on the street, Wohua Mountain came to buy soldiers and had a conflict with the traders, but it was the general of Wohua Mountain who came out to apologize to the traders, and these mountain bandits were not so unforgivable.

On the other hand, the three major families of the previous overlords, although they were not mountain bandits, but what they did had already exceeded morality and ethics, which was not tolerated by the way of heaven, and their existence had already been indignant by people and gods, even those mountain bandits were much better than them, and the good and evil in the world were too one-sided after all.

The woman was stunned for a long time before she was about to answer, but she heard Jiang Ming say: "Ling'er, black and white right and wrong are all your own business, and if you can tolerate it, it is right and good within this limit, but if it exceeds that range, everything is evil, and it is not limited by identity, because evil is evil!"

The little girl nodded, looking incomprehensible.

The woman said: "Although you saved our mother and daughter, but you can't let you distort my daughter's values, although what you just said has some truth, but it is too selfish, Xiao Ling'er wants to be able to conform to the public's concept, not to be influenced by your thoughts, and I hope you don't teach her without my consent." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "These are all things that a person should go through, those thoughts inherent in the mortal world she will naturally come into contact with in the future, and what I said is true and can be useful for her life, I don't think you have any reason to refute it." But after all, I talked a little more, and I just shut up. ”

The woman was powerless to refute and simply kept her mouth shut.

The little girl said, "Big brother, why did you come to save us?"

"Reason?" Jiang Ming looked at the little girl in a daze, and said: "I don't know the reason, maybe I don't want to lose a few acquaintances in this city, after all, people are this thing, meeting is fate, since it is not an enemy, it will inevitably shake my values, so I came to you, by the way, save you." ”

"I don't understand!" the little girl pouted depressedly and said, "Also, what the big brother said just now is wrong, people are not things." ”

Jiang Ming said: "The appearance is wrong, but in fact there is no mistake, people, sometimes they are things, sometimes they are not things." It's like this war, I don't know who started it now, but I can't tolerate destroying this city with a forbidden flint weapon!"

After more than ten minutes of silence, the negotiations between Zhu Fu and Pang Lu broke down, and the sulfur bomb rang out again, this time not to hit the city again, but to the city walls. The tall walls of Jiaozhi City, which had experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, were destroyed by three sulfur fire bombs, and this flint weapon, which was banned by Zhu Tianye's countries, showed the most terrifying power at this moment.

Wherever the sulfur bomb went, all living beings were destroyed, and this is not a lie.

Zhu Fu was forced back by Pang Lu and his generals, he saw that the main gate of this city was finally burst open by artillery fire, as if he thought of something, his eyes swept over, but the sheep tower wind had long been gone, and he hurriedly rushed into the city.

Seeing the collapse of the city gate of Jiaozhi, Pang Lu sighed heavily and whispered: "The south is said to be barbaric, and the carving is Jiaozhi, but it's a pity, this city is finally broken." ”

The sadness in the old eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The collapse of the city wall, only a part of the soldiers of Wohua Mountain died directly in the cannon fire and cracked stones, fortunately, Liang Jin and they had already made a plan, so that not everyone gathered at the head of the city, but Rao was so, watching his companions struggle in the cyan flames, watching the stones at the head of the city crush the soldiers of Wohua Mountain in the ruins, those who were alive were full of grief and indignation.

Wu Xiu asked Chu Hong for instructions: "Commander, please order us to rush and kill and avenge our brothers!"

Chu Hong stopped him and shouted: "Do you want to kill yourself? Rush over at this moment, I'm afraid that before you get in front of the Qin army, you will be bombarded into slag by sulfur fire bombs!"

"But ......" Wu Xiu was sad and angry, and he had lost his ability to judge at this moment.

At this moment, a sentry ran over and said, "Eighth Commander, quickly retreat to the city with his subordinates, if anyone dares to disobey the command, the Second Commander will let the Eighth Commander kill him on the spot, so as not to hinder the morale of the army." ”

When Wu Xiu heard this order, his body shook.

"The whole army retreats!" Chu Hong shouted, and at the same time slapped Wu Xiu's shoulder sharply, and said: "There is time to take revenge, if you die now, then there will be nothing." ”

Wu Xiu was slightly stunned, and immediately followed Chu Hong, at this moment he had already made up his mind to do his best for this city.

"Yangtafeng has set up a shelter in the west of the city, all the surviving people are moving in that direction, there are more than 3,000 city soldiers, the people have begun to move rapidly, as long as they get to the west of the city, even if they give up the city gate defense, but at least they don't have to suffer from the infestation of sulfur fire bombs, and the rest of the things are for us and Yangtafeng's city soldiers to come forward. ”

Lin Han had already met all the Wohua Mountain soldiers led by Liang Jin in an empty house in the east at this moment, and told them about the situation on the way here.

Liang Jin said: "Pang Lu is already determined to destroy Jiaozhi City, he will no longer estimate whether there are ordinary people and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty in this city, at this moment we are closely related to all the soldiers and civilians in Jiaozhi City, this is the catastrophe that falls on our heads, if we can't get through, no one in this Jiaozhi City will be able to survive!"

Lin Han said: "I suggest that a group of people be immediately dispatched to help the city soldiers disperse and guide the people, although we have not relied on Jiaozhi City for a long time, but today's situation is special, Wohua Mountain often has a heart of compassion for the people, not only the people of Wohua Mountain, but also the people of the whole world, we have the responsibility to help these people out of suffering." ”

Liang Jin said: "You are right, Wohua Mountain is not just an organization that guards itself, there is no distinction between high and low human life in the world, Meng Lang, Chu Hong, you immediately select a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death to help the city soldiers disperse the crowd, and open the way for them when necessary!"

Meng Lang and Chu Hong took the order to go, and they did not refuse because of the danger of this matter, because they believed that their brother would definitely accompany him with his life.

Luo Hu said: "So Lao Jin, you built another very low in Sihai City earlier, most of the dispatchable manpower in the army is already in Sihai City, Butterfly, Miss Huanziyu, General Yu Bushi, as well as all the snake girls, most of the deputy generals, have all been transferred to Sihai City early, and now Pang Lu is leading the main force to come here, thinking that it should be safer to come to Sihai City." ”

Liang Jin said: "I originally planned to learn from the three caves of the cunning rabbit and establish a new base in Sihai City, hiding in the shadows can help us achieve great things, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen today, the secret agents I sent out and all the vulture members did not report to me, it is estimated that they have been cleared by Pang Lu." ”

Lin Han said: "This is a blessing, at least we are blessed by Wohua Mountain, even if the army of our Jiaozhi City is difficult to resist the siege of Pang Lu, but at least there is a resurgence of Sihai City, the left and right generals, the general of the two sides, and the adjutants are all training the new soldiers who will become a climate, and in time there will definitely be an army that is not inferior to the veterans." "8090 Chinese

Luo Hu smiled bitterly: "Are you comforting you by saying this? Pang Lu's 50,000 Qin troops pressed the border, and just the sulfur fire bomb made our team lose more than half of it, and we only have less than 3,000 men and horses on display, how can we stop those thousands of troops and horses, this should be the calamity of a few of us who are the commanders." ”

Lin Han teased: "Don't say it, it's really like this, now there are only six of us in this city, as well as Du Heng and Wu Xiu, two deputy generals, and all the backbones have been dispatched, which is indeed a good thing." ”

Liang Jin said in a deep voice: "Luohu, if it really comes to that situation, you and your eldest son and Jiang Ming will rush out earlier, and it doesn't matter how many of us are, but you can't." ”

The reason why they can't is because the three of them already have families.

Although Luo Hu and Die have not yet married, they have already become husband and wife, and they are together for rest and dinner; although Chu Hong and Huanziyu have not yet reached that step, they can also see it clearly, and their ears and temples have been grinding for many days, and their feelings naturally cannot be talked about.

And Jiang Ming was the last to join this group, his own wishes were different from theirs, and he had a woman who loved him deeply, so naturally he couldn't let him get into danger.

Liang Jin and Lin Han looked at each other secretly, naturally understanding the deep meaning.

Luo Hu, who was about to laugh when Lin Han's ridicule was made, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and only said, "I'll talk about it then!"

All three fell silent at the same time.

At this moment, Jiang Ming had not returned, but Meng Lang and Chu Hong left again, and the three of them prepared their troops and horses and walked at the back of the evacuation of the people to protect more people.

The sulphur bombs were fired again, and the dozen or so catapults threw sulphur bombs intermittently, and from time to time there were green fires burning around them, engulfing several soldiers.

However, Liang Jin and the others couldn't save it, so they could only watch their soldiers struggle in the flames, and finally lost their voices. During the march, there were occasional soldiers who had inhaled too much of the poisonous mist, and without warning they fell to the ground convulsively, foaming at the mouth, and before the doctor could diagnose the medicine, they had lost their vitality.

There were a few cases of this kind of thing, and people were terrified, and even the most daring soldiers began to be afraid, but under the soldiers of the three commanders of Liang Jin, they also walked in the last place without fear of death.

The gates of Jiaozhi had collapsed, but the Qin army did not continue to advance, and still sent sulfur bombs into the city.

Lou finally said: "Governor, when are we going to attack the city?"

Pang Lu said: "Wait, all the sulfur bombs we carry are gone, these things can't be left for other wars, this time the sin will be borne by me alone, and I hope that no other city will suffer this kind of disaster." ”

Lu Xingyang said: "Governor, when the catapult is used up, blow it up, the last general has already brought enough gunpowder." ”

Pang Lu nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want, it seems that you are the only one in this army who knows what I mean, and I suddenly remembered that the three strategies you proposed to me to break the enemy at the beginning, one of them is a sulfur fire bomb, right?"

Lu Xingyang's face was cold, and he said: "At that time, it was His Highness's order, and the plan for this sulfur fire bomb had already been laid out, but it was my own idea to blow up this catapult today." ”

Pang Lu was slightly stunned, his expression gradually softened, and said: "Meng Jinyan went to Jiaozhi City a few days ago, just to force Yang Tafeng to ask for the last components of the catapult, those components can ensure that the catapult can create huge power, if it is an ordinary material, it will naturally not be projected so far. Speaking of which, I did go against my original long-cherished wish, violated the deal with Yangtafeng, and it was not my idea to destroy Jiaozhi City, but I did it after all, and it seems that I must have suffered a lot of hatred in this battle. ”

Lu Xingyang knelt down and said: "People who really achieve great things will naturally be slandered by countless people, but what the governor did was to do great things for the tens of millions of people of the Qin Dynasty, and I will remember such merits." ”

Pang Lu said with a smile: "Get up, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not, I have sent troops to surround the entire Jiaozhi City, those surviving mountain bandits and people should go to the west of the city to take refuge, and we should also send men to pursue." This time, the people and gods are angry, let the people and gods be angry, pass on my order, the people and bandits in Jiaozhi City, not a single one will be left!"

The sound of the sulphur bombs gradually stopped, and a loud bang was heard, countless metal fragments were splashed in all directions, and all the catapults were destroyed in an instant, and there was no possibility of recovery, and this forbidden weapon for the siege of the city was completely destroyed on this day.

Pang Lu stood on the chariot, drew the saber at his waist, swung it forward, and shouted: "Go to war!"

On October 7, 226 of Qianli, the battle of sulfur and fire that shocked the entire Qin Dynasty began, and the Qin Emperor's personal suppression of bandit governor Pang Lu used the Zhu Tianye countries to ban the weapon sulfur fire bomb to bombard Jiaozhi City, and then led 50,000 soldiers and horses to sweep Jiaozhi City.

50,000 soldiers and horses doesn't sound like a lot, but for an ordinary city, it's devastating.

Yangtafeng has 5,000 city soldiers, Wohua Mountain has experienced several major battles before, and then there has been no replenishment of troops, only more than 3,000 remnants.

A total of 8,000 people faced 50,000 Qin soldiers, and even if the soldiers of Wohua Mountain were brave and good at fighting, they could not resist.

By the time the soldiers of Wohua Mountain withdrew to the vicinity of the central altar, the sentry in front had already received news that the Qin soldiers had begun to attack the city in a big way, which meant that the real bloody battle would begin at this time.

Lin Han looked around, there were still traces of the battle just now around this central altar, after they fled with Zhou Yihui, they only had a slight contact with the Misfortune and the Illusion Realm, and then they left separately, after all, both of them were Nine-Rank Martial Arts Masters, no matter which side they wanted, it was not so easy to die.

"It seems that the realm has already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the city, and the ruling department has created a reason for Pang Lu to march in the name of eliminating demons, whether this is a conspiracy or not, Jiaozhi City will inevitably suffer this disaster!"

At this time, a sentry suddenly came to report and said, "Tell the Sixth Commander, the Qianfeng Inn is empty, there are many traces of the burning of the document organs, and it should have been evacuated half a day ago." ”

Lin Han pondered: "It seems that the seventh act also received the news early, Qiu Jue's plan is not leaky, Pang Lu is also determined, it seems that he wants this Jiaozhi City to have no life." ”

Liang Jin said loudly: "Don't go any further, this is already the center of Jiaozhi City, we can't mix with the people of Jiaozhi City, this will affect those innocent people." There are tall buildings here, the structure of the buildings is complex, and the streets and alleys are easy to hide, which is suitable for our army to fight, so we will fortify here and wait for the Qin army to come!"

Luo Hu said: "That's right, we have lived in Jiaozhi City for so long, and we should also give some kindness to the people of Jiaozhi City." With us taking the lead, Yangtafeng should have enough time to think of a way to get the surviving people to escape, right?"

Lin Han saw that the two of them were both tragic, and he couldn't help but have a miserable look, this time they were really facing a Jedi, they couldn't escape, they couldn't escape, they could only fight.

However, the battle will be lost.

Really going to die!

"I haven't really thought about it, I'm really going to die. A life of pride is more than hardship, a life of chivalry more than sin, I think, I should die a well-deserved death. ”

"Although there is one regrettable thing, I have never been able to get her approval, so I shouldn't have a chance in the future, right?"

Since ancient times, the tragic songs have been infinite, all listened to by passers-by.
