After several days of fierce fighting, the city of Gaotang was broken, the Qin army rushed in, and all the outer Guo fell.

But the light man Lebian didn't care about this anymore, and the only thing he wanted to do now was to stop the stupid move of the township party: his young little villager party was trying to stuff the intestines that flowed out of his stomach back into his stomach!

When the Qin army broke through the city and fought in the streets, Le Bian and the township party stabbed to death an armored Qin pawn, but the stomach of the township party was also pierced open by the sharp sword of the Qin people.

Along the way, he dragged and dragged him, and when he arrived at the place, the township party was horrified to find that he had broken his stomach, and in addition to pain, he was more afraid. With his dirty hands, he tried to get the bloody intestines back where they belonged. As a result, the more and more it flowed out, and he could only let out a desperate cry, which attracted the attention of all the survivors in the inner city.

There is also a doctor at the head of the city, but he only cares about taking care of the lightly injured, and the injuries are so serious that there is no need to treat them......

Le Bian comforted him weakly, but he could not provide any effective help, and the voice of the township party was a little hoarse, and the blood was running dry.

At this moment, a burly figure stood in front of him, knelt down on one knee, and stopped the young man's struggle.

"That's enough."

In order to resist the offensive of the Qin army, Tian Dan did not sleep for several days, risking arrows and stones on the city wall to boost morale, but this did not make the situation any better.

Qin General Heifu is worthy of being a general of a hundred battles, with rich experience, and constantly bluffing, and let people bring the people of Linzi and shout in Linzi dialect to the city, telling them that Linzi has not been slaughtered. If Gaotang City is broken, except for the first rebel, ordinary people only need to go out of the city and surrender, and they can avoid death.

As a result, there was an endless stream of people fleeing over the wall from the west, and the defenders of the city were dying.

Next, it was the fierce attack of the Qin army, under the cover of the archers on the earth mountain, countless Qin soldiers pushed the building cart and slowly moved towards the city wall, and on the other side, more than ten trebuchets also launched a fierce attack, although this thing was too poor to cause too much damage to the Qi people in the city, but the deterrent power was full.

The Qi people resisted vigorously, and within a few days, they destroyed two building carts, leaving the Qin army's siege vehicles scrapped by the city gates. But with dozens of ladders on the top of the city, the exhausted Qi people were unable to plug every gap, and the fierce battle was initially fought on the city walls, slowly moving to the city gates, and then street fighting and retreat......

"Right Sima" Tian Rong took a part of the light warriors and tried to break through from the west of the city, but after rushing out of the city, he was ambushed by the Dongjun soldiers, and the whole army was annihilated, Tian Rong also died on the battlefield, and his head is now hanging on the Qin camp flag.

Without Tian Rong, it is equivalent to going to Tian Dan's right-hand man, on the way to the inner city, Tian Dan has not known how many people have died, for the injured, he tried his best to save people to the inner city if he was slightly injured, and if he was seriously injured, he could only give them a happy death.

After asking the names and origins of the injured, Tian Dan nodded to Le Bian, who gritted his teeth and stabbed a sharp blade into the chest of the village party with his own hands.

"Xiangbang."

Le Bian knelt down, with tears in his eyes, he had something to ask Tian Dan.

"My name is Le Bian, the Bian of Biandan, and I am a light man in Le'an County......"

Tian Dan nodded, there were too many people following him, and he couldn't remember everyone.

Le Bian continued: "My township party, he is only seventeen years old, there are fathers and mothers in the family, as well as two brothers and a sister, in Le'an, I heard that Xiangbang was against Qin, but he did not hesitate at all, followed me, drew his sword, and killed Qin officials to meet Xiangbang. ”

Like Liu Ji was deeply influenced by Xinlingjun, Qi Di Qingxia is a generation that grew up listening to the stories of Tian Dan and Wang Sun Jia, with the temperament of Ren Xia, influenced by Tian Dan's deeds, and also has a bit of family and country feelings.

They once thought that what they were doing was a cause of loyalty and righteousness, not only could they drive the hated Qin people out of the Qi country, so that they could no longer use harsh laws to restrain the light heroes, and when the Qi country was restored, they would be rewarded for their merits, and they could also change the difficult situation and become masters......

So at the beginning, the morale of the light heroes was high, the mood was urgent, the light heroes skilled, the most important thing was fame and face, for these two things, they could kill others, they could also kill themselves, they decided that this was a great opportunity to go down in history.

Until they got a taste of war.

War is no better than a single person fight, there are no individual heroes here, only arrows that keep flying and people who keep falling. When Moroda knew that he was invincible and began to move, defeat hung over everyone's hearts, and his shoes gradually disintegrated in the endless march, and his clothes were torn into strips of cloth by bushes and branches.

At this time, they didn't have the time to pay attention to chivalry, in order to fill their stomachs, in order to dress comfortably, they began to rob ordinary people, and even did a lot of evil things to vent the fear in their hearts.

In May, when the summer rains continued, many people fell ill, and the camp was stinking and lying on moldy straw, and many people began to miss the life they had beforehand.

"Although it's a little harder, a little aggrieved, and it's not free, at least I can make do with it......"

Even so, in the face of the rumors of the Qin army's "slaughter of the city", in order to survive, they still insisted on fighting, seeing their friends being stoned to death, watching the township party belly flowing, and finally sending him to Artemisia with their own hands, which was not pleasant.

So in the end, Le Bian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what did he get involved in this war for?

What the hell are they fighting for? And what will he die for?

The question from a small pawn is like a heavy hammer, knocking on Tian Dan's heart.

For the restoration of the country? In order to repay the field for several generations? In order to repay him for more than ten years of help and small favors?

The righteous and awe-inspiring words, Tian Dan could no longer speak, when this war was nearing the end and destruction was close at hand, even he himself fell into doubt.

He once wanted to do the same career as Tiandan and Wang Sunjia, and be the hero who restored the Qi country.

But the facts tell him that not everyone can do a career like An Pingjun.

Times have changed, the situation has changed, and this rebellion has become a futile flutter. Tian Rong and Tian Du were killed in battle one after another, and the former doormen were also killed and wounded heavily, and even Tian Jiao, the king of Qi who he supported, was also separated when the Qin army broke the city, and he was probably hiding in a corner at this moment.

And right now, what Tian Dan regrets the most is that the more than 20,000 people who followed him died countless battles, and if they survived, they would also be slaughtered, and then according to Qin's strict punishment law, their families would be implicated, not to mention 100,000? These are all good Qi people who miss the Qi country, but they will be killed and restored, and there is no hope from now on.

He did not become a great hero of the Qi State, but he became a great sinner of the Tian family......

Just when Tian Dan was speechless for a long time, a loud voice answered this question for him.

"The eldest husband was born in the world, and if he is uneven, he will roar, and he will rise with a sword, what else can he do it for?"

……

It was Tian Heng who spoke.

Tian Heng was naked, he was wounded several times, bloody, and even a crossbow arrow pierced deep into his thigh, and he walked with a limp, but he only bandaged himself with his clothes, holding a spear, standing on the wall, looking at Tian Dan, and also said to everyone:

"The two hundred years of the Qi country were destroyed, Qi Wangjian was starved to death among the pines and cypresses, I saw the destruction of the sect, and I was unhappy, so I left my hometown and hid overseas, trying to take revenge!"

"Qin ruled Qi with Qin officials, treated the world harshly, treated Zhutian like pigs and sheep, or slaughtered or moved, as a member of Zhutian, I was unfair, so I led the crowd back!"

After that, he said loudly: "This is the reason why I am anti-Qin, if it is like the Yan family, the disciples of the public school, Yeyi Luzuo and other generations, who have received the food from the Qin people, and live a good life, why should they be opposed, and they will hold on when they are full?" The second and third sons followed my brother against Qin, all because of grievances in their hearts, they didn't ask the reason that day, they killed the officials to welcome each other, and today they died to the end, but they had to think about why they were against it, useful? ”

Tian Heng's self-description was true, but it made Tian Dan suddenly realize.

"This is the imminent death of man, is his word good?"

Tian Dan laughed, Tian Heng is not good at words and does things, but only people like him can do things to himself until death!

He smiled and answered Le Bian's question: "The Qin people swept away Zhutian one by one, and I am not satisfied that the Tian clan has been rooted in Di County for a hundred years, and the branches are luxuriant, but they are about to be forcibly moved away, so they rebelled." ”

"Qi counties, Zhutian must not be a long official, I am not full of ambition, but I can only be a Qian, so I do something, Qi Wangjian, the ancestor Sheji who was defeated by the emperor and Yongchen, I want to rely on my own ability, take it back one by one!"

Tian Dan not only wants to be "Tian Dan", he even wants to do what Tian Dan didn't do, kick the incompetent and mediocre royal family away, and become the king of Qi himself!

The only few hundred people left in the inner city also have their own "grievances".

Tian Heng's Haikou, the former soldiers of the Qi State, were not satisfied with the loss of everything they had in the past, and they were not satisfied with the fate of being blockaded by the Qin army and starving to death on the island.

Le Bian and other light chivalry swords, it is not equal to Qin Lu's attack on light heroes, so that they are not free, and when they encounter injustice, they fight with swords, isn't this what light heroes should do?

was provoked by Tian Heng, Tian Dan, who would rather die in state affairs than sit still, came back, and he glanced at everyone:

In order to express the grievances in his chest, the second and third sons made a fuss with our brothers for two months, and then moved to ten counties, which was also vigorous and made the world look sideways. It's a pity that the time is also strong, there are only a few hundred people left at the moment, facing the attack of tens of thousands of Qin troops, they will definitely die, but who regrets it and wants to surrender? ”

"If there is, please behead Tian Dan and dedicate it to the Qin general Heifu, not only can you live, but you can also be rewarded!"

There was silence for a while, but then, Le Bian, who questioned Tian Dan, was the first to snort and said:

"Xiangbang, so far, people who are afraid of death, people who regret it, should have fled early, those who can come here with Xiangbang would rather die than surrender to Qin, Xiangbang said this, is it to look down on our light chivalrous skills? If you die, you will die, I only wish to be able to kill one or two more Qin people to accompany the burial! ”

"Yes!" The crowd and the light man responded loudly.

Tian Heng was ambitious, and he also endured the injuries on his body, patted his chest and said: "Brother, Tian Heng can die in Qidi, die in the Tang Dynasty, which was started by his ancestors, and have no regrets!" ”

"So do we!"

Haikou, who followed Tian Heng back from Salmon Island, also loudly agreed, he was truly "seeing death as home".

"Xiangbang, Zuo Sima, the Qin army is here!"

The warning sounded, Tian Dan and Tian Heng stood on the inner city and looked out, but saw that on the streets of Gaotang Waiguo, the Qin army finally appeared, still with a dark banner, everyone holding a shield and sword, forming an array, and slowly advancing forward.

The Qin people had already taken control of the Outer Guo Gate, cleared sporadic resistance, and were preparing to put down the rebellion completely on the orders of Heifu......

This inner city, in fact, is the Gaotang Palace of Tian Qishi, the wall is only two zhang high, everyone is now retreating to the "Gaotang Terrace" inside, as long as the Qin army pushes it over, it is very easy to break through the wall.

Everyone fell silent, but unlike the previous hesitation, at this moment, they were determined to die.

"How many of us are left?"

Tian Dan asked while personally counting the number of people, and then someone told him: "There are only five hundred ...... left."

"It's a blessing to be able to die with five hundred soldiers!"

Tian Dan looked at Tian Heng, who was covered in scars: "Brother Heng, can you still fight?" ”

Tian Heng laughed: "My brother once told me that Xingtian cut off his head, and he can still use his milk as his eye, his umbilicus as his mouth, and his relatives as his dance, not to mention that I just broke a leg?" ”

"Good!"

Tian Dan took a deep breath, looked closer and closer, more and more Qin people, and gave him the last order as the "Prime Minister of Qi State".

"Open the door and meet the enemy! Even if we die, we will fight to the death! ”

No one objected, the gate of the inner city was slowly pushed open, and everyone on the Gaotang platform was armed with swords, facing the strong bow and crossbow of the Qin army.

Although Tian Heng said that he could fight, in fact, he was injured to the bone, took a few steps forward, and almost fell unsteadily, but Tian Dan supported him and picked him up.

"Brother......" Tian Heng choked up a little, his own brother Tian Rong has been beheaded, but from his brother Tian Dan, he is also like a brother.

There were no more words, like when they were children, the brothers supported each other, one with a spear and the other with a sword, and watched with red eyes as the Qin soldiers who were ten times and twenty times their own surrounded them.

Tian Dan suddenly smiled.

"Although we die without regrets, it is a pity that there is no song and harmony in this situation."

"Who said there is no song?"

Tian Heng held on to the shaft of the spear and said: "We have nothing else to do on that small island, except for generosity and sorrow, which can pass the time for a while." But it's a funeral song, do you want to listen to it, brother? ”

"Funeral song? Couldn't be better! ”

Tian Dan stroked his palms and laughed, Qin Jun was closer, and he could almost see the lines of their armor, and when it came to the end, he saw that many people next to him were still trembling uncontrollably, until Tian Heng's heroic and pathetic singing sounded.

"Shallot on the dew, He Yixi ......"

The pirates who returned from Salmon Island opened their mouths and followed Tian Heng's singing in hoarse voices.

"The Ming Dynasty has fallen, when will people return when they die?"

……

The tragic and heroic song sounded on the only remaining high platform in Gaotang and also reached Heifu's ears.

The song of the Qi people, Heifu couldn't understand it, so he called Yan Hua and Lai Sheng, the translators of the puppet army, and asked what the dying people were singing?

After Yan Hua listened, his face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time, while Laisheng lowered his head and said, singing:

"Who's in Artemisia? There is no virtuous or foolish soul to gather.

Why is the ghost uncle urging? Human life must not be less hesitant! ”

He explained: "The people of Qi Di think that the souls of people who die return to Artemisia near the left side of Mount Tai, where there is no distinction between the virtuous and the foolish. General, this is a funeral song......"

When Heifu heard this, he was surprised: "Is he singing for himself?" ”

When he saw the inner city open, his subordinates either thought it was a fraud, or thought that the Natian brothers were going to surrender, but as soon as they heard the meaning of this song, Heifu understood.

These hundreds of people who have resisted stubbornly are already determined to die!

How anxious the ghost uncle urged, he couldn't tolerate the slightest hesitation, this group of rebels who had recovered Qi no longer hesitated, and the Qin army was the ghost uncle who urged his life! Send the rebels to Artemisia!

On the battlefield, there is no room for sympathy, as Heifu waved his hand, the drumbeat of the attack had already sounded, and the Qin army marched in a neat pace, and the five soldiers were mixed together, moving forward together, they were like the great waves of the times, trying to crush all the rocks.

But the rock, however, did not move, and met the fierce gathering.

The hundreds of rebels on the Gaotang Terrace, but they shouted in unison, and they launched the last wave of attacks towards the Qin army!

This is a death-like attack, under the crossbow machine of the Qin army, one by one, the soul returns to the artemisia, like dew evaporated by the sun, disappearing quickly......

But the song of the shallots and artemisia has not been stopped for a long time, accompanied by the rise and fall of the spears, the arrows are galloping, lingering in the head of the Gaotang City, but it is getting lighter and lighter......

Until, the last living "traitor" was decapitated! This song came to an abrupt end!

In this situation, even the black man, who thought that he was used to seeing the destruction of all countries and fighting on the battlefield, could not help but be moved.

"Qi Fei died when Qi Wangjian surrendered to the court......"

The people who resolutely sang to their deaths were only left with corpses everywhere at this moment, lifeless.

Heifu stepped forward, looked around at Gao Tang in the dead city, raised his head again, and said, "Qi died here, at this moment!" ”
