2,000 ordinary Liaodong people, young and old, women and children, were all driven to the east gate by the Japanese invaders, and hundreds of Japanese invaders hid in them. The people stopped a hundred meters away from the city gate and quietly looked at the defenders of the Dongjiang Army on the city wall.

After a while, the crowd suddenly stirred slightly, and two Fusang warriors came out in line, looking up at the Dongjiang army on the city wall, and they laughed arrogantly: "Open the city gate and welcome us in, otherwise these people will all be beheaded." ”

As soon as their voices fell, a few of them pulled the two tied old men to their knees. The two bright katanas were already raised in the air, threatening to slash down at any moment.

Mao Wenlong's heart was very painful, and the scene in front of him reminded him of the tragic Chinese catastrophe in later generations. Unexpectedly, he didn't meet him during the Republic of China, but he met in the Ming Dynasty, when such a thing could not happen.

The Japanese did not wait for the reaction of the Dongjiang army, and in order to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, they immediately signaled the two Japanese who were holding high their katanas to kill the two old men.

The glittering katana slashed down without any hesitation, but there was no trace of fear on the faces of the two old men who were about to die, they had already realized that they were going to die from the moment they were pulled out. The only thing they regret is that they don't know if their families can be saved after they die?

"Whoosh!"

Two sharp arrows came one after the other, and two blood sprays splattered out, but they were not two old men waiting for death to come, but the two would-be robbers who wanted to kill.

The arrow was very accurate, without any bias, and directly pierced the necks of the two widows. Before they died, they still didn't expect such an outcome, but even if they were unwilling, they eventually collapsed and died.

The sudden accident caused a lot of riots among the people and the Japanese invaders. But the riot lasted only a while, and soon calm returned, and this time the pirates were clearly enraged, and they cut off a few heads in the crowd of the people and threw them in front.

Murakotaro's roar rang out: "Mao Wenlong, this is your last chance, if you dare to make any moves, the old man guarantees that all the two thousand people here will not survive today." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't pay attention to Murakotaro's roar, and at the moment his attention was completely on the place where Adou was hiding. From there, Adou can be seen standing alone on the battlement of the city wall, with a bow in his hand and ready to shoot arrows at any time.

Obviously, the two arrows in a row just now must have come from his hand. Mao Wenlong was very appreciative, but at the same time he also felt very helpless, although he killed two Japanese and saved two lives, but at the same time caused more innocent people to die under the Japanese people's butcher's knife.

"Tell Adou not to act rashly!" Mao Wenlong whispered to the guards beside him.

One of the guards immediately led the order to retreat and ran towards the place where Adou was hiding.

Chen Jisheng's eyes were bloodshot, and the indiscriminate killing of innocent people like this made him angry: "Chief soldier, please allow me to lead the troops into battle, and my subordinates promise to kill all these Japanese invaders under the horse." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "If you kill the situation in front of you, it will only make more innocents die." ”

"But ......" Chen Jisheng was very unconvinced.

"It's nothing but wait and see, wait for the opportunity. You go down first and gather your men and horses ready to attack at any time, and wait for our orders. Mao Wenlong stopped Chen Jisheng and gave an order.

Chen Jisheng was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Mao Wenlong's order, so he could only reluctantly give up. After that, Mao Wenlong looked at the city and responded loudly to Murakotaro: "Threatening the lives of innocent people, you think you can force me to commit Mao Wenlong, Murakotaro, you are too naïve." ”

Murako Taro didn't dare to take the lead at all, he had already learned from last night that there were masters of archery in the Dongjiang army. In particular, the two men who had just been shot to death almost at the same time had already proved his previous suspicions.

Murako Taro hid in the crowd and responded to Mao Wenlong in a loud voice: "The old man is naïve or not, so I won't bother you, now you just need to answer Elder Ben, do you open the city gate or not?" ”

Mao Wenlong had already convicted Murakotaro of death in his heart early on, and Murakotaro at this moment can be said to have completely succeeded in angering Mao Wenlong. Since coming to Daming, Mao Wenlong has never had such an anger, and he can't wait to immediately break the corpse of the village Taro into ten thousand pieces!

But it was not suitable for him to be angry in front of him, Mao Wenlong could only try his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and kept calm and said: "As long as I open the city gate, will you let these innocent people go?" ”

The village Taro's lewd laughter sounded: "Elder Ben can promise you, every time you promise Elder Ben something, the old man will release ten people." ”

Murakotaro was already disheartened after his defeat last night, but when he thought about giving up this attack. The news that Huang Taiji had begun to attack Jiayuguan just came, and for a while, Murako Taro immediately rekindled his fighting spirit.

After thinking about it, he even came up with the idea of using the people of those villages in the suburbs to blackmail Mao Wenlong, and it turned out that his plan was successful this time. From the very beginning, the Dongjiang Army no longer dared to act indiscriminately, and at this moment he firmly gained the upper hand.

Mao Wenlong clenched his hands into fists, and from Murakotaro's tone, he could predict that he would not be able to save these innocent people in front of him no matter what today. Rather than waiting to be manipulated by him, and in the end, innocent people will also be killed by the Japanese invaders, it is better to launch a direct attack, and maybe some innocent people can be saved.

With an idea in his heart, Mao Wenlong suddenly became stronger, and he snorted coldly: "Murako Taro, this general soldier advises you to release all the people immediately, I can promise that as long as you release all the people now, you can leave freely." ”

This is Mao Wenlong's biggest bottom line at present, if Murako Taro still doesn't listen to persuasion, then there is only force left to solve the next matter, and there is no other choice.

In the face of Mao Wenlong's strength, Murako Taro directly threw out four heads to show his position. Two of the four heads were children of about 10 years old, the other was a man in the prime of life, and one was a woman's head.

Obviously, this is a family, and they were brutally beheaded and destroyed by the Japanese invaders!

Mao Wenlong's heart was jammed and panicked, and the unprecedented anger instantly filled his body, there was nothing to hesitate about, and any further delay would only make more innocent people die in vain.

"Chen Jisheng, kill Lao Tzu, don't leave a single one, if you dare to let a widow escape, come to see him with your head." Mao Wenlong turned around abruptly and roared at the urban construction tax that was already ready to be launched in the city!
