During the Warring States period, King Qin said, "The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushes millions of corpses and sheds thousands of miles of blood." And think that the anger of the cloth clothes is just "bare-crowned, grabbing the ground and ears with his head." ”

Since ancient times, the ruling class has considered the anger of the common people to be insignificant.

The people who have been tormented in the prisons, cowsheds, and stables for the past two days have taught them a lesson in their practical deeds: angry people are terrible.

Although the formation was messy, the movements were simple, and there were almost no tactics to speak of, the angry people beat the officers and soldiers to the point of crying fathers and mothers, and retreating one after another, relying on a ruthless force that did not want to die.

The officers and men retreated in disarray, and they were about to collapse. The sedan chair drivers judged the situation, always kept in mind "safety first", decisively dropped the big man in the sedan chair, and the girl ran away.

Ding Shang was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "You dare to leave the boss and run away from the battle, and see that Lao Tzu will not cure you for your capital crimes...... Come back to me quickly, and I will forgive you for your innocence...... There are many rewards for saving the driver. ”

Seeing that Ding Shangju was close at hand, everyone became more and more energetic, and they rushed even more bravely. It's a pity that at this time, Yan Lang brought people to stop our offensive and save the life of Ding Lao Bastard.

The relieved officers and men assembled again, lined up in formation and began to counterattack.

Although the people's army was fierce for a while, it had no rules at all, and it was chaotic when it fought, and in the end it was all fighting on its own, so naturally it had no combat effectiveness.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Wu Debiao immediately commanded a retreat and asked everyone to retreat to the palace to hold on.

Although it is a pity that Ding Shangju was not caught this time, it is not without gain. When we set out, we took more than 100 people with us, and now there are more than 300 people in the palace.

What followed was a tug-of-war between attack and defense, with officers and soldiers attacking and we killing out, fighting back and forth, and no one could take anyone.

Soon, the disparity between the soldiers and the people became apparent, and our casualties were increasing. Many beggars were also wounded or killed in battle, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

The women, who had begun to hide in the secret room, had now run out to help treat the wounded.

Ying'er was the first to run out.

Fierce fighting continued into the evening, exhausted on both sides, and had to temporarily cease fighting.

Finally a respite.

I collapsed on my back and saw the stars in the sky. What a nice weather! This is a good time for construction. The weather is sunny, there is no water on the construction site, the soil becomes dry and loose, the shovel is particularly neat, and the throwing out is also very smooth, which makes people feel comfortable.

The prince sat down beside him with a longbow, his face haggard and covered with dirt. He really wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Wu Debiao did not allow it, and finally reluctantly agreed to let him hide in the dark and release cold arrows.

He said to me, "Sir, I would like to ask you a question, can you answer me truthfully?" ”

I nodded in agreement.

"Who the hell are you?"

I was surprised that he suddenly asked such a question, and I didn't know how to answer it.

"Although I am a ridiculous person sometimes, if I hadn't met you, I definitely didn't have the courage to rebel, and I wouldn't have been able to get to this point today."

It was like a reproach, and it made me uncomfortable to listen to. But what he said may be right, if I hadn't helped him make a gun, he wouldn't have dared to rebel if he hadn't borrowed a hundred guts. In this way, I have harmed those who have died in the past two days, and those who are about to die.

"Don't get me wrong, sir, I didn't mean to blame you, it's all a mess I caused. It's just that before you die, you still want to find out, are you really from 500 years later? ”

I nodded, shook my head again, held back for a long time, and subconsciously said, "Actually, I lied to you." ”

"I knew it."

It seems that he has been deceived and prepared.

"Zhu Bajie is not the emperor, but Marshal Tianpeng, a character in the novel "Journey to the West". The Ming Dynasty only existed for three hundred years, and was replaced by the Manchu Dynasty, which is the Jurchen ...... outside the Guan"

The prince wanted to speak and stopped, and finally fell to the ground and ignored me.

After counting, seventy-two people were killed and wounded on our side; Officers and soldiers left more than thirty corpses.

The gathered corpses were piled up into a small mountain. The face of the deceased was hideous, as if telling of the pain he had suffered, and I could not bear to look at it more.

Wu Debiao asked someone to dig a big pit in the courtyard and bury the remains on the spot.

Looking at the dirt covering the corpse little by little, I suddenly sighed: "This place has become their home, I think the beggars didn't dare to approach the palace at the beginning." ”

Wu Debiao said: "When the old prince was here, there was a porridge shed at the back door, and later Lord Qian withdrew, but the beggars still gathered here, so they ......."

"It doesn't matter anymore, whether you are rich or poor, you will eventually turn to dust."

I can't imagine what I'll be like when I die.

"That's right, we're all going to die. Officers and soldiers from the surrounding prefectures and counties are already on their way and will arrive tomorrow. ”

"Don't talk about that, let's get some rest! I've got to wake up early tomorrow. ”

I freshened up and went to see Ying'er.

She sat alone on the steps, staring at the trees in the courtyard, looking exhausted.

I draped my coat over her.

She grabbed my hand and used a lot of force, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

I couldn't find the right language, and she never spoke.

Ying'er leaned on my shoulder. I took her into my arms.

Finally, she fell asleep.

Before dawn, the officers and soldiers from other places had already arrived outside the East City Gate.

"Who's coming? Please report your name. The soldiers at the gate asked.

Outside the city, he replied: "Juxian Inspector Sun Budo is not suspicious, and he was ordered to lead a hundred brothers to listen to Lord Ding's dispatch. ”

"It turned out to be a brother from Ju County, and it was hard work on the road! We're going to report it. ”

"Grandma's, what else do you want to report? I can't believe it. Call your leaders and see if you recognize Lao Tzu, damn it! ”

"Well, Lord Trouble is coming, so let's call our leaders to recognize each other."

The leader saw the appearance of the people below clearly by the firelight, and immediately said with a smile: "The subordinates are clumsy, please forgive Brother Sun!" ”

"You are not verbose, hurry up and open the door, take a few jars of good wine, and wash the dust for Lao Tzu."

"Of course, the younger brother is looking forward to having a few drinks with the eldest brother!"

The shouts of killing woke people from their sleep.

I subconsciously hugged the warbler tighter, but I had to let go.

"Find a place to hide, don't come out no matter what happens, you must find a way to live."

Ying'er nodded with tears in her eyes.

I knew that this might be goodbye, and I wanted to see her a few more times, but I didn't dare to look back after all, for fear that I would lose the courage to die.

The officers and men chose to attack at this time, and their intentions were very sinister, not only did they come very suddenly, but we also had no time to have breakfast.

The prepared officers and men were very fierce and quickly captured the front yard. We kept retreating, suffering heavy casualties and rivers of blood.

Wu Debiao was hit by an arrow in the back, my left arm was cut, the thin monkey and the donkey were also hung up, and there were few people left who could resist.

We retreated to the last house, which was filled with oiled firewood.

This is our last dignity, standing and dying in the flames.

The prince raised his torch.
