And inside the small east gate,

Looking at the bloody human head that was cut off and thrown on the ground, Cheng Da had begun to deeply regret and hate his hesitation and wavering; Why listen to things that chase after the wind and have not been proven at all; As a result, he and his subordinates have fallen to this point.

These are all the Pao Ze brothers who were born and died with him, and one of them is an apprentice soldier from the same village who often affectionately calls him "Uncle Cheng"; The wind, frost, rain and snow of all sides that they followed the head of the war, as well as the miasma snakes and insects of the Southern Barbarians, failed to defeat them, and the swords, guns and arrows from the officers and soldiers on the battle array failed to take their lives; As a result, now he fell into the net because he was sent to deliver a letter to him, and died at the hands of these "own people" sent by the other side.

He was so annoyed that he couldn't wait to dig out a pair of tricks that he didn't know again, so that he might not have to face the disbelief or dead expressions that were frozen at the last moment on the head.

The people who keep saying that they are for the cause of the righteous army and the Yellow King are slaughtering their own righteous brothers without hesitation; And people who are identified as ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned still trust themselves very much. What did they do wrong, is it the original sin that must be put to death as someone's command?

He suddenly remembered the voice and smile of the "good brother" who betrayed him and the rebel army to which he belonged, and almost brought everyone into a catastrophe; When he was born as a small official, he seemed to be so righteous and awe-inspiring to say the high-sounding truth, and he moved and attracted many people from hard backgrounds to join;

However, behind his back, for the future he promised in the government, he did not hesitate to take the officers and soldiers to copy the old battalion baggage and the old and young women and children; The mountains of corpses were used to blow and shake the morale of this rebel army, and led them into the ambush of the official army. In the end, only a few people, including Cheng Da Biting, who was left behind because of his injury, survived.

It was as if he had seen history repeat itself, but the roles and objects were reversed. However, the big mistake had been made, and he was tied to the side, and even his mouth was gagged and he could only let out a whining indignation.

At this time, the "old acquaintance" who was presiding over all this finally turned his head and persuaded him bitterly

"Biter, what do you think? I'm all doing this for your good, wow. ”

"The path of the virtual monk has never been like he is on the same road as our brothers in the righteous army, and the things he did in the army and the laws and regulations he carried out are more like the means and style of the official army."

"Why do you bother to follow him down the way to the dark? Now that you can't turn back, you can just take someone and my army to do it. ”

"Now that Lin Yan's dog is over, he dares to collude with the government to betray the righteous army, even if he is the nephew of King Huang, he can't protect him."

"Even if it's a virtual monk, it's not much better; Seeing that he was trapped in the city and dying, even if he could survive and stay behind, he didn't know how to deal with it."

"The old subordinates of the Sanjiang Army outside the city are now without a leader, and Wang Leizi is still far away in Chaoyang for a while and a half."

"Now that this is your biggest position, shouldn't you hurry up and think about yourself?"

"As long as you can pull the battalion people under your command over, you will still be a real commander of the Chong Commander, even if it is half a battalion person, at least a few generals and Guo Yi Lieutenants"

"If you can pull a few more battalions of men out, then at least you will be a general; Or it's not non-negotiable to give you a deputy military master. ”

"As long as our old brothers work together to wash this Guangfu for ten days and half a month, are we afraid that there will be nothing?"

"Then take these family Shi to the north to join the Yellow King, and then wrap a Dora point Ding Zhuang out of those cantonments, I'm afraid it's not a brand new military order."

He chattered so earnestly and persuasively, and slowly approached Cheng Da Bite, who was no longer struggling, and pulled out his gagged.

"You say that what I said is not true, give me a letter."

Then he saw that Cheng Da bit his mouth and moved, but he didn't know what he was talking about, so he couldn't help but lean his head over and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

Then his face turned to astonishment and pain, and twisted into a mass of fierce screams.

"Ahhhh You are crazy... ”

But Cheng Da, who was tied up all over his body, bit him his exposed neck with all his strength, and the whole person was pressed on his body, and they fell into a ball together.

"Someone, help."

The screams of the "old acquaintance" then turned into painful wails and cries, because under the full strength of Chengda's bite like a mad tiger, a whole piece of the flesh on his neck was torn off in blood; Immediately, streams of blood splattered out of the wound, spraying all over Chengda's head and face, but it still couldn't stop him from spitting off and biting it one after another;

At this time, the guards brought by the "old acquaintance" finally came back to their senses from their shock, and some busy people rushed forward to help and rescue, but Cheng Da bit too tightly with him, and the painful "old acquaintance" rolled on the ground and struggled to kick and beat and failed to break free; On the contrary, with the blood splashed on the ground, the strength and vitality are getting weaker and weaker.

At this time, someone finally remembered to use a knife, and no longer threw a mouse bogey for fear of hurting the "old acquaintance", but drew his sword and slashed at Cheng Da's neck; With the moment the blade was added, Cheng Da bit and couldn't help snorting from his nose, but it was more resolutely biting tightly.

It's just that because the two are passively twisted and turned together, some of the swords that are bound and dare not cut down with all their strength fail to hit the vital point of the big bite, and fall on his back, and immediately cut his robe into a piece of flesh and blood. Among them, there was even a drop on the palm of the old acquaintance who deeply pinched Cheng Da's waist, and immediately cut off two fingers with blood splashing.

Now the besieging guards became more and more restrained, and broke a piece of cowhide rope on their shoulders; Then someone finally had an idea to think of a way, and suddenly pounced on the two legs and feet that were tied by Cheng Da Bite, and immediately pressed him to the ground immovable. Then, the other person took advantage of the momentum and slashed down, but was pinched by the palm of the hand that Cheng Da bit broke free, and slowly cut out the red blood line.

Then, without hesitation, the others reversed the blade of the knife and pierced it to the ground with a thud of the left shoulder blade that thrust into a big bite; The machete he raised again slashed down at his skull.

Until this moment, Cheng Da Biting's heart became extremely calm; He suddenly felt that he should have died in that fire in Ten Spices a long time ago, if it weren't for some reason; So now he just hates that he can't pull a few more pads and make up for his mistakes.

However, he waited for several breaths, but still did not wait for the pain to fall; When he opened his eyes again, he saw the surprise and panic on the faces of the guards.

Then, suddenly, the guard who had raised his sword again paused again, and saw a sharp object protrude from his chest, and pushed his robe and armor out of the boss, and fell on him head-on.

It was only when Cheng Da Bite heard the fierce fighting and roaring shouts that suddenly exploded nearby.

"Kill these dogs."

"Avenge your brothers."

"Hurry up and rescue the captain of Chengdu."

Then, the remaining guards, who had lost their backbones, could not help but scatter in a hurry, smashed through the portal and fled after being shot down several people one after another.

"Don't let these run."

And then. Pressing the big bite of the old acquaintance, who gradually became cold and stiff and lost his breath, waited for a while in the sound of tearing, only to see several pairs of black leather boots with wooden bottoms nailed iron in the unified system of the Sanjiang Army walking to the side, and slowly helped him up and cut off the rope.

"The lieutenant is fine."

With the sound of urgent greetings, Cheng Da bit noticed that the leader was one of the entourage Yu Hou named Zhang Ran; They were attached to the battalion until they were under the ranks, and there were dozens of them in total.

On weekdays, he is responsible for writing and teaching in the army, and he also talks about ancient stories at night and in his spare time, or leads everyone to conduct and shout or something; But I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

"What's going on outside? How many officers and soldiers are left in the battalion? ”

Cheng Da bit the extremely weak inquiry.

"Most of the soldiers in the battalion are safe and ready to go."

Yu Hou Zhengsedao named Zhang Ran.

"Therefore, those thieves who pretended to pass on the orders of the remaining division have been killed or captured. The rebels who came to take over the defense were also killed. ”

"It's just that because of the rejection of the chaotic orders of those thieves, more than a dozen people below the rank of Captain Zihuan have been killed; It's up to me to gather everyone for the time being. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Da bit the heart of joy and sadness, the dead Captain Huan they were picked up by him; However, his heart widened, and his intuitive body was tired and heavy, and the pain was manifested and his eyes were blurred and blackened, and he passed out.

。。。。。。。。。

At the head of the inner city, Zhou Huai'an looked at the messenger who was driven out again. It was the third time he had been sent in to try to persuade and co-opt his subordinates who were openly guarding the inner city;

And the conditions are more superior each time, and the promises are more exaggerated than the other; It's just to divide and envelop the horses, resources, and careers left behind in case "he" is gone. even did not hesitate to take the lives of these ordinary people in the city as a price and bargaining chip;

It's as if they have forgotten why they fought in the first place, and why they rebelled against the government in the first place. Like the vast majority of separatist armies in this era, the small people are treated as if they were ants that can be wreaked havoc at will.

Although he had been mentally prepared for the scene in front of him, Zhou Huai'an still inevitably felt a certain melancholy and sad mood; This is the innate limitations of the traditional peasant army and the other side of the brutality and cruelty in its bones.

Even if they keep shouting the slogans and truths of "living for the people", "making up for the average" and "clearing the world"; However, when it comes to the interests and interests, it is inevitable to tear off the original warm skin and fig leaf, and carry out mutual invasion and merger of the weak and the strong for the sake of selfishness and profit.

He thought he could rely on his own efforts to change something; For example, through the foresight and development of the production base of the traverser, the basic plate that everyone has together will be expanded; And let the possibility of this happening become a matter of considerable time in the future;

Now that the unexpected situation has passively sent the opportunity to him, perhaps the time has come to completely change all this; Then, as if his wish had come true, he saw a few fires rising from the small east gate tower.
