Chapter 729: Dead Knot
"What should I do?" At this time, Lu Shi, who was standing on the top of the mountain and observing the battlefield, was already soaked with sweat. Seeing Li Zicheng's organized father and old woman, they were so silently oppressed, letting their brothers constantly and helplessly retreat, and even those old and weak women and children, constantly flying out with smiling arrows, so that their brothers kept being hit by arrows and falling off their horses, and then, if they couldn't be rescued, they were immediately trampled under the feet of those silent old and weak women and children, and they were silent in an instant.
And looking at such an ending, he was also powerless and helpless, which really made Lu Shi feel powerless.
"King Chuang, let's shoot." Captain Zhang of the firearms battalion watched his brother who got along day and night die so innocently, the corners of his eyes were already bleeding, he stomped his feet, and he didn't know how many times he pleaded, and even begged Lu Shi.
"No, you can't fire." Lu Shi and Chunlan gritted their teeth together and rejected the captain's request. "In any case, they didn't have weapons, that is the people, we invade the army, and we can't fire at the people under any circumstances. This is a matter of principle. ”
Yes, this is not only a matter of principle, the most important thing is that in the past few years, Lu Shi has stopped telling his brothers all the time, what is our combat goal, which emphasizes the most, is to fight to the death for the father and the elder behind him, and the father and elder behind him actually refers to the thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty, such a concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Lu Shiquan's base area, and has become a driving force for their predecessors and successors, caring for the people, becoming a concept, and becoming a bottom line to abide by, and once today, Lu Shi ordered the people to open fire, then, after the rumbling cannon, is the collapse of the brothers' ideas, as long as this opening is opened, then, all the brothers in the face of the people who are coerced by the pole, without the slightest hesitation to move the knife and gun, then, it is a big violation of their own promises, their own ideas, and the collapse of the concept, that is, the collapse of the world advocated by the entire Lu Shi, established.
If you don't have an army of ideas, you will immediately become an army of beasts.
However, it was precisely this "weakness" that Li Zicheng seized on, so that his army fell into an inextricable predicament and suffered losses in vain.
The ranks of women, children, old and weak are still slowly pressing, and their own army is still helpless, and they are about to be forced to go up the hill. And the more serious consequence is that whoever exterminates humanity in the future and follows the same example will deal with himself in this way, then he will be in a defeated position.
And there are still a lot of such inhuman guys, especially the beast army full of Tartars that he will face in the future, at that time, what will he do?
Lu Shi's sweat is now rolling down like a stream, looking at the present and his own ending in the future, but he is helpless.
"Fathers and brothers, come here." At this time, a girl from the Women's Army, seeing this kind of scene, was really unbearable, so she begged the fathers and sisters who were already close to her with tears, "Defect to King Lu Chuang, join the base area, and King Chuang will give you four acres of land each, and these fields will keep you for life and life." ”
Just when everyone was helpless and anxious, the girl of the Girl Army cried out, which made those angry men complain loudly, "When are you still begging them for these pickled things, they are that-" However, the brothers who wanted to complain again suddenly found that this girl's pleading had an effect.
Just after shouting to give them land, the women and children under Li Zicheng, who were originally expressionless and moving forward like puppets, began to slow down, and the most important thing was that someone there had already begun to hesitate to stop.
"Propagandist shout, shout." Seeing this change, a little military commander seized this opportunity, immediately jumped to his feet, and shouted to the propagandists who were always chirping in their ears when everyone was training, and everyone was annoyed that they wanted to beat him: "Quick, tell them the declaration of the city gate that we have broken into the king, the policies we have obtained, and what our peaceful and prosperous days are like, quickly." "Complaining turned into urging, but I didn't expect this girl's method to be effective, and this time everyone saw hope.
Immediately, the tin horns of the army ran out, and they all took out all their tricks and began to shout hoarsely to the old and weak women and children who were driven to the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, in this way, the effect was immediate, and the original lifeless pressing team completely stopped, and in the square team, the buzzing sound that had just gotten up suddenly fell silent at this time, not indifferent, but listening.
Most of these old and weak women and children are coerced, and what awaits them can only be the landfill on the battlefield and the consumption in the attack, even if they become Li Zicheng's subordinates, they can't change this fate. This time they were driven to the military formation, originally everyone was in the mood of death, and there was no longer life, but unexpectedly, this time the "enemy" they faced was different, they did not rush to kill themselves, did not shoot arrows at themselves, but faced their unwilling retreat, retreated and retreated.
Such an army surprised them, but more importantly, it made them feel the hope of life, if there was really a miracle, let themselves rush to open a way for the king of Da Chuang, maybe there would be a reward. But, everyone knows, this time is lucky, but what about next time? This time he faced the legendary benevolence and righteousness Lu Shi, so what about the next time he faced the official army?
Everyone knows in their hearts that if they win in this way this time, then next time, no matter who they fight again, they will become a shield again, and they will still have no hope of life, but they will die early and die late.
However, just above this lifeless battle array, suddenly, the plea of a girl in white made everyone suddenly feel that the black canopy opened a small gap, allowing the long-lost sunshine to splash down like sharp arrows, so that everyone suddenly saw the hope of life.
So, one by two, I couldn't help but whisper to the people around me to confirm and secretly discuss the way.
In particular, when dozens of men with strange creatures suddenly appeared on the ridge and began to tell everyone about their policies towards the prisoners and the common people, everyone was in an uproar.
I have long heard about the wealth of King Lu Shichuang's base, and I have long heard about the policy of loving the people and supporting the people under the rule of Lu Shi, and some people have long been suspicious of it, but this time it has been really understood by everyone, why not let everyone be tempted?
At the very least, everyone really saw that they were in the battle queue, there were no old and weak women and children, so that everyone could really see that those of them, in the face of their own defenseless old and weak women and children, took the approach of retreating and avoiding, rather than slashing and killing without scruples, okay, everyone else can't see it, but it's enough to see these, a benevolent and righteous teacher, really behind the benevolent and righteous teacher, is definitely a benevolent and righteous leader, then what they said may be right.
In the past, it was life, that is, four acres of land per person, that is, there was no excesses and miscellaneous taxes, there was no wolf-like answer to the exploitation and urging of the officials, and there was no more displacement, and it was a day that I could not think of in my dreams of peace and security. Even if it may not be as good as those guys with weird family belongings say, but even if it is a hundred times worse than what they promised, it is a good life that is countless times better than it is now.
So, a scene that stunned Li Zicheng, who was still laughing proudly, appeared, the women and children who originally regarded death as home, could make Lu Shi at a loss, and could open a way of life for themselves, suddenly slowly knelt down, one by two, and then a group of pieces, and finally entered the sea like a low tide, and the whole piece fell to the ground, accepting the surrender of Lu Shi's thief.
"Don't believe their nonsense, don't surrender." A pole mixed in the crowd, with red eyes, roared loudly, and shouted at the women and children around him who had fallen to their knees, stopping them from such a "stupid" action.
However, those pickled things that trembled when they saw themselves, no one paid any attention to them at this time, and they only buried their heads in the soil one by one, waiting for the men of the thief Lu Shi to accept their surrender.
But no matter how much he kicked and scolded, no one took his orders, which made him angry, so he foolishly waved his big knife and slashed at a snow-white head kneeling beside him.
There was no scream, the gray head, with the anger that had just risen, rolled down unwillingly.
"Daddy-" At this time, a man who knelt beside the old man, trying to keep his body as low as possible, so that the leader around him could not see his age clearly, screamed and pounced, picked up the body that was not yet cold, and cried.
When the leader saw it, he was even more angry, and he felt that this kid was still a soldier, and he also had a sign of the king of Da Chuang; "Shameless deserter, take your life." As he spoke, he swung his broadsword and was about to cut down the deserter.
However, before he could swing the big knife, countless figures jumped up beside him, including men, women, old and weak, all with red eyes, and pounced on him desperately, pressing him tightly to the ground.
As a result, such scenes happened everywhere in the whole camp, and the elite poles who hid in the women, children, old and weak were immediately overwhelmed by the ocean-like crowd, and in the blink of an eye, they were no longer visible.
