Chapter 220 The death of the country is hope, not the country

Why, these three words are the first step from primitive instinct to civilization by human beings.

This seemingly the simplest question has become the most difficult problem in the world.

This question is all-encompassing, and it seems far away from everyone, but it is close at hand.

If it is said that it is an instinct for people to live, then why they live is another question.

For the ancient period when the people's wisdom had not yet been opened, what supported the survival of the people at the bottom was nothing more than the fear of death and the institutional constraints handed down from ancient times to the present.

This institutional constraint comes from the reproductive instinct of living beings.

Reproduction is the instinct of any living being, and in order to compete for the right to mate, they do not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives, such as praying mantises.

Ancient human civilization in the matter of reproduction, in addition to instinct, and fear of death also has a relationship, newborns represent the vitality of a race, a group without newborns, naturally eliminated.

Therefore, for tens of thousands of years, human beings have directly linked reproduction to life and death, and when human beings could wantonly kill mammoths and saber-toothed tigers and other beasts 10,000 years ago, they completely stood at the top of the food chain.

Reproduction has gradually changed from contributing to the vitality of the tribe to the concept of raising children and preventing old age.

For human civilization in this period, it is a matter of course to reproduce offspring, even in the era of war and chaos, they can't eat enough, and it is a matter of course to have children.

So when Tian An said this.

We shed our blood and sacrificed our lives, not for the sake of these children who are about to be born.

It really touched everyone, and made things that seemed a little unreasonable and unfair suddenly become fair.

And it was deeply touching.

Yes, they left their homeland and abandoned their parents in order to find a place to live?

If you withdraw this time, will you want to return next time?

They have already withdrawn from the Qi Kingdom, where will they retreat next time?

As if they had suddenly figured out this truth, everyone felt that the blood in their bodies was agitated again, and their already tired bodies seemed to be injected with some kind of strength for a moment, and they swept away all the previous sadness together.

Picked up the weapon on the ground and got into Tian An's steps.

The sound of barefoot or leather boots stepping on the blood swamp was blown back by the wind.

Wei Bao re-grasped the broken long sword in his hand, ignored Wei Bao's obstruction, and followed.

He just remembered that when the Great Liang of Wei was conquered by Wang Ben with a flood, the King of Wei pretended to stand in front of the palace hall and personally sent him and Wei Ji to the only boat, so that they could escape from Wei along the flood.

Obviously, the king of Wei could also flee together, but in order to buy time for them, the heirs of Wei, he chose to stay.

But he was still smiling happily.

Why?

Wei Bao has never been able to figure out this question.

But today he seems to have figured it out.

The death of the country is the death of hope, not the country, nor the king.

Wei Qi looked at the guards beside him with complicated eyes, and after silently following Tian An's pace, a helpless smile appeared on his face, looked at a few bows and arrows on the war horse that Gao gradually left behind, and chuckled, "Use the bow and arrow from Brother Gao." ”

Gao Yanli threw all the bows and arrows on the horse's back to Wei Qi, did not speak, nodded and turned over the horse, holding the spear in both hands, and slowly urged the horse.

Uncle Le scratched his head, sighed helplessly, squatted down and picked up the cowhide bladder soaked in a pool of blood, ignoring the blood and mud on it, he turned over on the horse after taking a big sip, and muttered, "It's really damn good." ”

Then he carried the Broken Stone Sword to keep up with Gao Yuanli's pace.

At this time, Donghu Fang Pangeng and Sang Yang were also angry because they had lost a large number of men and horses by underestimating the enemy, and their morale was very low, and they originally wanted to use these coincidental enemy troops to boost their morale.

Unexpectedly, more than 5,000 people were lost in the first battle, and people were suddenly even more panicked.

After Pan Geng heard the scout's return, he cut off the scout's head on the spot, and roared to lead the guards back.

In the face of the menacing enemy, Tian An and the others were more calm this time, probably because they had experience, and with the help of the n of the impact of the war horses in the woods, they flexibly guerrilla in the dense forest.

"Ding!" A piercing metal roar sounded in his ears, and at the same time, a huge force shook Tian An almost vomited blood, the sword in his hand flew out, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a bald man with a terrifying scar on his face, and the giant axe in his hand just now was too strong, and it directly slashed into the trunk behind him.

This is a fierce general!

Tian Anxin was startled, his body rolled on the ground backwards, his numb hands supporting the ground, and his eyes stared vigilantly at this bald man.

The giant axe in the bald man's hand came from the trunk of the tree, slashing at Tian An with a cruel smile, and he was still roaring something, it should be a provocative word, but unfortunately Tian An didn't understand it very well.

The giant axe was menacing, and Tian An had no weapon in his hand to resist, so he could only roll on the ground in embarrassment to avoid the attack of the big man, and from time to time throw the corpse on the ground and smash it as a weapon.

But the strong man seemed to be infinitely powerful, the giant axe swung like the wind, and pressed step by step, forcing Tian An into a dead end of the mountain.

When his back leaned against the stone, Tian An's heart cooled down, listening to the sound of the giant axe breaking through the air, exploding above his head, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Finally, it turned into a lament.

It seems that this is how it should be.

Just when Tian An was in despair.

The bald man was the first to let out a scream.

The giant axe that was supposed to directly split Tian An's head deviated from the track and slashed into Tian An's shoulder, the axe blade just cut into Tian An's flesh and blood, and the sharp pain from his shoulder awakened Tian An's instinct again, and his hands subconsciously pressed the handle of the giant axe, and pushed the giant axe away with a roar.

The bald man's thick arm was hit by three arrows, and the giant axe that he couldn't hold fell into the dirt, and his eyes were red and he looked at the person who fired the dark arrows like a hideous beast.

Wei Ji held a leaf in his mouth, and the longbow in his hand had already been attached to two wolf tooth arrows, and looked at Tian An, who was kneeling on the ground with his shoulders covered with a smile, "Don't you still want to see the child?" ”

Tian An's body trembled, he looked up at Wei Ji with a complicated gaze, showed a weird smile, nodded vigorously, struggled to get up, staggered two steps forward, and fell to the ground again, his vision was already a little blurred due to excessive blood loss and fatigue.

But in a trance, through the gaps in the lush leaves, I seemed to see a ray of slanting sun, red and dazzling, and I also saw a face that should not appear here.

After that, I lost my instincts.

Tu Tan stretched out his hand to probe Tian An's snort, touched his neck vein, stuffed two pieces of ginseng into his mouth, and then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wei Qi who came over and said, "There is still a breath." ”

"If you don't come, it's useless for us to breathe." Wei Ji looked at the elite armored warriors brought by Tu Tan with complicated eyes, and easily tied the fierce and incomparable bald man to the war horse after a hammer blast, "There is such a strong army, why don't you come earlier?" ”

"You think this is my army?" Tu Tan smiled and shook his head.

Wei Ji blinked, smiled and arched his hand, "Thank you Brother Tu for your help and save our brother from fire and water." ”

"Actually, you can't die without me." Tu Tan grinned and helped several royal soldiers put Tian An on a stretcher, "But time is pressing, we don't have much to say, we have to go back." ”

"Where are you going?" Wei was stunned.

"I'm borrowing soldiers to help you, so naturally I have something to do when I go back." Tu Tan smiled, hesitated, and handed a cowhide schoolbag on horseback to Wei Ji, "This is for Tian An's mother-in-law, I heard that she was born?" ”

"Yes, it should have been born, this child is blessed, so many people escorted him to be born." Wei Qi said with a smile.

Tu Tan raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head, turned over and waved his hand, whipped away.

The 6,000 royal army was almost scattered by the Donghu army of the dense forest n action force under the surprise attack.

And after seeing that the equipment banner of this army was the same as the banner of the gang that broke through the Donghu camp, everyone gave up resistance.

Zhai Qiu commanded his subordinates to arrest the leaders of all the tribes, and after some investigation, he did not get the answer he wanted.

"Sang ran away?" Tu Tan frowned and asked.

Zhai Qiu couldn't see the expression on his face with a mask, and his voice didn't fluctuate, "I should have run away." ”

"Take someone to chase, you shouldn't be able to run far." Tu Tan said.

"No, it's important to get down to business, these should be the last people in the Donghu Rear Army, Da Liangzao took the Iron Kite to kill them." Zhai Qiu looked at the Donghu leaders who were kneeling in a pool of blood and trembling, "Kill them directly?" ”

"Leave it to them." Tu Tan pointed to Gao Yuanli, who was dressed in a bloody robe.

"It's here, I'm going to go with you to Liaoyang City to find Wang Ben." Gao gradually took off his blood robe and said with a frown.

"Tian An is seriously injured and needs someone to preside over the overall situation." Tu Tan frowned and said, "And these Donghu captives also want you to help guard them." ”

"Are you okay?" Gao Yuanli turned to look at Uncle Le.

Uncle Le glanced at Tu Tan, then at Zhai Qiu, and nodded with a smile, "You think I can do it, after all, I haven't done it before." ”

"How many more brothers are there who can stand?" Tu Tan frowned and asked.

"It should be less than three thousand, and the camp is full of women and children." Uncle Le estimated.

"Then let's kill them all." Zhai Qiu said.

Gao Yuanli and Uncle Le looked at the iron-masked general at the same time, thinking that this person's murderous heart was so heavy.

"Then keep them all here, and go back with only these leaders, and tell these people that they are gone." Tu Tan narrowed his eyes and grinned.

"That's tens of thousands of Hu people!" Han Wangxin, who ran over, exclaimed.

"If you have faith, I'll give it to you, no one will rob it anyway." Tu Tan smiled, "The things that were cleaned up on the battlefield are left to you, we are leaving." ”

"All for us?" Uncle Le raised his eyebrows slightly, but looked at the armor on Tu Tan and Zhai Qiu, and laughed and felt that he had said nonsense.

These things on the battlefield are good in their eyes, but to this mysterious team, they are like garbage.

Zhai Qiu didn't speak, blew the suona, and instantly rushed back countless royal troops from all directions.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow at the latest." Tu Tan patted Wei Bao on the shoulder and followed the army.

Looking at the royal army that came and went like the wind and descended from the sky, it was clear that it was only a few thousand, but the momentum was countless times stronger than the tens of thousands of Donghu troops just now.

"It's really a strong army in the world, if South Korea has such a strong army, how can the tyrannical Qin succeed." Han Wangxin couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Xuanniao Flag finally disappear from sight.

"Don't be presumptuous." Uncle Le said with a smile: "It's better to send the brother back for treatment as soon as possible." ”

Han Wangxin nodded hurriedly and picked up the rope that tied all the Donghu leaders on the ground, "Then I'll take these Donghu leaders back." ”
