Gunsmoke, gravel, gunfire......

The desperate cries of the comrades as they charged......

Forward, forward......

The groans of pain of the wounded, the neighing of the horses......

All the sounds reached Yang Chengwei's ears, and he was already beaten by a blow, staring at the front, staring at the Jiannu who came out of the corn field, lined up in a row, and he charged without hesitation with a wheel in his hand. All the while rushing towards them. At this time, she even forgot about the pain on her body, and only one thought remained in her mind.

Onward, kill the enemy.

The wheel in his hand kept spitting out bullets, and those Jiannu kept falling, but around him, more brothers had fallen.

"Kill ......"

After the bullet was empty, he drew his riding knife and charged at the enemy, who was getting closer and closer to him, and he could even see the enemy's appearance, and he shouted on his horse, and launched a final charge towards the enemy.

Maybe this is the final charge.

The rows of Jiannu also noticed him, and pointed their guns at him, ready to release them at any time.

"I am also a Ming official soldier, and I will never let you be captured alive!"

When he waved his knife and charged, Yang Chengwei thought so in his heart, and his expression was resolute.

Although he was not tall compared to the Han Chinese, and was even a little thin, he was still a brave officer and soldier. Holding his saber high, he rode a horse and rushed straight towards Jiannu, without the slightest fear, at this time he only had one thought left, he would rather die in battle than save his honor.

The charge was desperate, and the few cavalry that survived the stone rain did not even have a chance to regroup, and under the mouth of the Qing army, they once again suffered heavy losses, and the wheel gun, which had been routed countless times in the past, failed to exert its power, and many fell under the gun.

Only a few warriors rushed to the enemy's line on horseback, but they still fell under the mouth of the gun, and when Yang Chengwei was still a horse from Jiannu, there were enemies in front of him who were firing at him, and the dense bullets were all hitting the horse.

The tall war horse slammed to the ground and pressed one of Yang Chengwei's feet.

"Breaking the ...... the enemy"

Yang Chengwei, who was thrown to the ground, still wanted to stand up, but as soon as he pulled his legs out from under the war horse, two Jiannu had already rushed over, he just raised his knife and slashed at one of them, but a few more Jiannu immediately pounced, they obviously wanted to capture the general of the Ming army alive, and they didn't use a bayonet at all, but attacked him with a gun, in the tearing and killing, after the head was hit by a support, Yang Chengwei's vision was blurred, his mind was also drowsy, and his body shook.

"Catch it alive!"

With this shout, from his blurred vision, he saw that the copper plate of the bolt was from far and near, and slammed into the door in front of him, and the man fell.

In his confusion, he felt Jiannu grab him, tie his arms behind his back, and after tying him up, he took all the things on his body, silver dollars, pocket watches, and all of them.

Yang Chengwei, who was lying on the ground, saw his beloved war horse, which had been lying there on its side, only its legs were still twitching from time to time, and its body had several holes, and streams of red poured out of the holes under the sun, dyeing the surrounding land red.

Realizing that he had become a prisoner of the enemy, a thought crossed his mind. He even wanted to shout it out.

"Kill me, kill me......"

Yang Chengwei's idea did not become a reality, and at this time, it was clear that no one would follow his idea. Help him make this wish come true. He was tied up and carried to the horse.

On horseback, he could faintly see the Jiannu around him, as well as the blue-shaved head peeking out from under his hat.

In his confusion, he heard the woman's cry, which seemed to be Aisha. She's alive. But many people died, and the cry was close and seemed to be right next to him.

After a few more moments, he heard Aisha say beside him.

"It's okay, it's okay, they won't kill you, you're a big official......"

But I want to die......

In his confusion, although Yang Chengwei's heart was extremely painful, as a prisoner, he had no choice, and now he became a prisoner of the enemy.

What a shameful thing this is.

Yang Chengwei, who had lost his freedom, just lay on the back of the horse, and as the horse walked forward, along the way, he could occasionally hear the laughter of those people, as if they were cheering for the capture of a Ming Dusi.

How many people survived?

Yang Chengwei did not know, but it was certain that there were other brothers who survived, and he seemed to hear the voices of the brothers.

He tried to open his eyes to look at his surroundings and find out how many of his brothers had survived, but he found that he simply did not have the strength to open his eyes.

It was getting dark. When it was completely dark, they heard a dog barking. Apparently they returned to the camp of the Qing army.

After entering the camp, the silence around became lively, and a group of people ran over and gathered around Yang Chengwei and others, they laughed and were surprised.

"Look, it's Han!"

"You are also Han!"

At this time, someone came over and scolded.

"You little bastards, don't forget that you are also Han yourself!"

Then he ordered someone to get Yang Chengwei off the horse, and then they untied him.

"Metropolitan Division, Metropolitan Division......"

The voices of the brethren rang out all around, and at the same time someone immediately rushed to his side. Helped him. While the brothers were helping him, they were driven into a house.

The smell in the wooden shed was very strong. However, for Yang Chengwei, who was confused, he couldn't feel these anymore, and he lay on the grass and soon fell asleep.

It's not so much asleep as unconscious.

When he awoke again, he saw a hundred and ten brothers sleeping in the room by the light shining through the wooden fence. Without exception, their clothes were tattered and wounded.

Of the 800 brothers, is there only a small number left?

These are the only brothers left. The other brothers have died, and they all lost their lives because of their desire for military merit.

If you can be more cautious, how can this be, when he thinks of many busy brothers, because of his own rashness, he lost his life, Yang Chengwei's heart is a colic.

Then he thought of the chief of staff who had been persuading him to be careful. Is he alive? So he shouted.

"Overcoming difficulties, overcoming difficulties ......"

Yang Chengwei's shout woke up the sleeping brother, Wang Ledong listened to Du Si's shout, and hurriedly crawled over and said.

"Dusi, chief of staff, he, he, he was killed......"

He was killed!

I blame myself for not listening to him at the time! But what's the use of talking about it now?

It was he who killed him. He was not the only one who died. and the brethren were killed by themselves.

Because of the bleeding from the wound, Yang Chengwei was very thirsty, and his throat was dry and wanted to burst into flames.

Why don't you kill me?

Why keep me alive?

Thinking that he was now a prisoner of the enemy in disgrace. Once again, death was in his mind. As a member of the Ming Dynasty, he knew that he should not be captured by the enemy.

At this moment, Yang Chengwei heard the sound of opening the door lock. Then one of the Jiannu came in, and with him came another Jiannu, who was dressed differently from the Han Chinese, they were dressed in horse coats, the hair on their heads was shaved, and only a small braid was at the back of their heads.

"Dog, day, day, tell you, you are a dignified Ming official army, this begging for mercy will definitely not be, if you want to kill, you have to scrape casually!"

Seeing Jiannu enter the house, Wang Ledong immediately said loudly. The brothers on the side also shouted. They all looked indignant. The momentum on his body was not considered a captive at all, at least they were not humbled by the situation they were in. He did not surrender because of his status as a prisoner.

"That's it, if you blink an eye, it's your grandson!"

Maybe it was because they said this, the Jiannu was stunned, and then turned his head and shouted outside the door.

"Bring them some water."

The person carrying the bucket was a little girl, thin and thin, thirteen or fourteen years old, but her appearance was somewhat like the local natives, but some like the Han people, and it could be seen that this was the daughter of a Jiannu and a native. Her eyes were large and bright, and she had a beautiful face. She wore a Kennu-style dress.

"Drink some water first, and if you need anything, just say it."

Shi Wenbing looked at the captives in front of him and said.

"However, you know, because we don't produce medicinal herbs here, and all medicinal herbs have to be trafficked from the Ming Kingdom through merchants, so there is no medicine, if you need it, I can give you a jar of liquor to wash your wounds."

Jiannu's politeness was beyond their expectations, but even so, Wang Ledong still said.

"You Jiannu, no matter how you behave, we will not surrender!"

Even if they are already prisoners, they still have their own insistence, they were captured because they were wounded, they did not surrender voluntarily, they did not on the battlefield before, and they will not now. In the same way, it is impossible to give a small favor because of the enemy. Forget your duties.

"Of course, of course, you are all the army of the Celestial Empire, how can you surrender?"

Shi Wenbing said with a smile, and then looked at Yang Chengwei, who had been silent, and said.

"I don't know how much my injuries are, can I sit next door for a while?"

"We're not going with you!"

As he spoke, the brethren rushed to him, trying to protect their commander.

"It's fine!"

Enduring the pain in his body, Yang Chengwei stood up and walked towards the Jiannu.

"Toji, please!"

Shi Wenbing still looked very polite.

When he came to the courtyard, Yang Chengwei saw that in addition to Jiannu, there were many women and children in the courtyard, most of those women were local natives, but the clothes they wore were all Jiannu's cheongsam. There is also no face covering on the face.

"Guo'er, pour tea for Dusi."

After entering the house, Shi Wenbing instructed the girl.

Soon, the girl ran out and came back soon with a teapot. After she handed over the water, she went to stand aside, she opened a pair of big eyes, watching how Yang Chengwei drank tea, and seemed to be very curious about this Han person.

"Guo'er, you are staring at people like this, but you are very rude."

The appearance of her daughter made Shi Wenbing laugh.

"Forgive me, they haven't seen Akito in the past."

"Oh, it's my daughter who is rude."

Shi Guo said this, but his eyes looked at Yang Chengwei without blinking.

"Listening to the accent of Dusi, it seems to be from the Southwest?"

Shi Wenbing asked politely.

"Zunyi Military and Civilian Mansion, surnamed Yang, named Chengwei."

Yang Chengwei did not hide it.

"Hey, Zunyi Yang family, so to speak, Dusi is not Han?"

Shi Wenbing's words made Yang Chengwei reprimand sharply.

"You Jiannu are really ignorant, although my Yang family is a mountain seedling, it has been sinicized for 800 years, how is it different from the Han people? Besides, I have a clear purpose: "Miao people are also Han people, they are seedlings in the mountains, and they are Han people in the mountains." ", you are waiting for Jiannu to leave the traitor!"

Being choked by Yang Chengwei like this, Shi Wenbing's face became a little ugly, but Shi Guo on the side smiled.

"Yang Dusi, our Shi family is also Han."

"You are traitors!"

With a cold smile, Yang Chengwei looked at the girl in front of him and said.

"If you are not a traitor, how can you recognize a thief as your father, and how can you be willing to drive slaves for them, clothe slaves for them, shave their hair and make it easy to wear, and recognize thieves as their fathers, and there are Han people who still have the face to call themselves!"

Although the other party is just a little girl, there is no room for compromise in the face of righteousness, and a traitor is a traitor.

"You, you ......"

Shi Guo glared at this Ming officer Zuo, and she was so angry that she finally had to say.

"It's not like you, a young man."

"Even if you are Miao Man, you also know loyalty and righteousness, and you also know how to serve the Ming court, you promise to be Han, but you are willing to help the abuse, and you have the face to call yourself Han?"

After some cynicism, Yang Chengwei stared at Shi Wenbing and said.

"Although you talk to yourself as a Han person, but in fact you are just a traitor who doesn't know what loyalty is, Yang Mou, as a Ming official army, naturally has the self-knowledge of serving His Majesty and the court with his body, and he wants to kill and scrape, at will, but in any case, Yang is by no means like Er, who does not know loyalty and recognizes the thief as his father!"

Yang Chengwei's answer made Shi Wenbing's face very embarrassed, but he did not defend himself, from the day his father surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he was destined for all of this today. Just when her daughter wanted to speak, Shi Wenbing said sharply.

"Guo'er, adults speak, don't interject!"

Shi Guo, who was reprimanded by his father, quickly stopped his voice and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"What General Yang said is very true, in fact, the ancestor was also a general of Guangning, and later surrendered to the Qing people, which is tortuous, and I don't say much about it, after all, what I have done is what I have done, but it is just ......"

Shi Wenbing stared at Yang Chengwei and said.

"The ancestor betrayed the court, he is really a guilty person, and he is also guilty of retreating west with his father in the next year, but Guo'er and these people have never set foot in the Ming land, nor have they hurt the Ming people, the court should give them a way to live!"

Shi Wenbing's words made Yang Chengwei puzzled.

"So, I want to ask the general to wait for me to survive?"

He, what is he trying to do?

Give them a way out?

Now he is the defeated man in front of him. Now they are prisoners of the Qing army. What does this person want to do?

"What do you mean by that?"

"If I want to lead the army to the imperial court, I wonder what the general thinks?"

What the?

Looking at the person in front of him in surprise, Yang Chengwei's eyes were full of disbelief.

"You, since you want to, you want to be obedient, why do you ambush the officers and soldiers!"

Suddenly, Yang Chengwei knew that the person in front of him wanted to win and surrender, in the past, the Southwest Tusi would often do this kind of thing, nothing more than to use the victory to talk about some conditions, but now the Ming Dynasty will not accept it, in the face of failure, the Ming will transfer heavy troops to attack, and will never give the Tusi more tolerant conditions because of a failure. On the contrary, the court will do everything possible to defeat the other side and not give them the slightest room to maneuver.

Sometimes an iron fist is unavoidable. But it is also an effective method, taking advantage of the victory seems to help the court solve the trouble, but it also buries hidden dangers. bought the hidden danger of future rebellion, after all, those people will be lucky to think that they can still earn more profits by defeating the official army in the future. Therefore, it is impossible for the champion to let those people have such a fluke mentality.

"If you want to surrender with victory, let me tell you, I will never accept this kind of blackmail now!"

Staring at the man in front of him, he added.

"Not only will we not accept your blackmail, but we will soon mobilize a large army and wipe you out once and for all."

He believed that when the defeat was returned, a large number of brothers would soon come here, and they would avenge the brothers who had gone, and they would never let go of the man in front of him and the Qing troops under him.

"The general misunderstood, Zai really didn't think about it that way, the reason why Zai Xia ambushed the general was just to find a way to survive."

Asking for a life?

Shi Wenbing's words made Yang Chengwei not react for a while.

"Survival?"

His doubts made Shi Guo on the side say.

"Isn't it just a way to live, if you call here, how can you let us live?"

Her words made Yang Chengwei fall silent, indeed, as she said, if he attacked this cottage, he would definitely kill the killer, this western expedition is not just a simple western expedition, everyone hopes to solve the problem once and for all.

But how can we solve the problem once and for all?

The answer couldn't be simpler, although there was no clear military order, but the military order had already been issued orally, and everyone understood it and knew how to deal with something. There are some things that don't need to be said. You just need to do it.

Now that he was choked by this girl like this, Yang Chengwei knew that what the other party said was the truth, no matter whether Shi Wenbing surrendered or not, the result was the same.

"The general thinks that he is winning and surrendering, and he wants to talk about what conditions, yes, and no, what he wants to do in the next is just a way to live! Therefore, I have to do this, and I ask the general for forgiveness. ”

Looking back at his daughter, Shi Wenbing stared at Yang Chengwei and said after turning around.

"If the general agrees to be here, there will be another big gift for the general!"
