Chapter 265: Self-Rescue Before the Battle

Zhao Tianyou saw the meat shield in the front row at a glance at the head of the city, this is a common trick used by the Yuan soldiers to attack the city, driving the cannon fodder meat shield at the front of the team, no matter if the other party does not kill the meat shield, but the psychological contradictions and entanglements cannot be avoided.

"Lord Wen, the front row of the Yuan soldiers is driven by Han hard labor, there are four or five thousand people, and the Song army with shields is mixed with them, how can we deal with it?"

Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "Since you have been reduced to a meat shield, why do you have to walk forward and die at the hands of soldiers of the same clan, it will be a little easier to be embarrassed?" ”

"What does Bun-sama mean ......"

"Being captured alive by the enemy, no matter how much you pray, it is nothing more than a prayer for life or death, and there is no third way to go. And now those who came in front of the city didn't even take the second way, no matter who won or lost, they took a road of death.

If it were me, I would seek death in front of the Yuan army's chariots and horses, even if I used my corpse as a roadblock to make the Yuan army's chariots and horses a point or two slower, then I would be worthy of my ancestors. ”

Zhao Tianyou hugged his fists and said: "The integrity of Lord Wen is accepted by the world!" ”

Although Zhao Tianyou knows very well that indecisive character is not allowed on the battlefield, let alone the life of the meat shield, to let alone let the Yuan soldiers get close to the city wall, there is only one truth, that is, to pay the smallest price to kill the other party.

But he still told Liu Changhai to wait until the meat shield that could not be done was as close as possible, and then open the cannon to bombard, hoping that when the cannon sounded, they would have a chance to choose their fate.

The distance of three miles entered the range of the cannons at the head of the city, but the entire meat shield plus the troops of the Song army had already crossed the three-mile line and slowly walked towards the fortifications at a distance of one mile. This team of 30,000 people is the cannon fodder sent out, and their mission is to disrupt the morale of the army in Guangzhou, as well as the cannonballs used to consume the city, I don't know if they understand their fate.

But the cannons at the head of Canton were silent, although the gunpowder of each cannon had been loaded, and the flowering shells were ready to fly into the crowd to bloom, waiting for them to cross the last cordon.

The more silent the city, the greater the pressure felt by this team, not only the desperate meat shield in the front of the heart, but also the Great Song soldiers who followed closely behind them, the formation was already a little flustered under the pressure, and the restless soldiers began to look around looking for their generals.

"Second brother, this forward is also death, and if you stop, you have to die, don't we buddies have a way to live?"

"It's not a problem, this is a dead end today, as long as the cannon in the city goes off, our brothers have to finish playing."

"I'm not reconciled, I endure humiliation and live like this, isn't it just to have the opportunity to go back to my hometown alive and be able to meet my father, it's over!"

Looking at the approaching team, Liu Changhai raised the red flag in his hand expressionlessly, as long as this flag was waved down, more than 200 cannons would blow up these meat shields. In this case, not only Zhao Tianyou had no choice, but all the soldiers of the firearms battalion of the city guard army had no second choice, so they could only kill them all at once as enemies.

At this moment, there was a row of flesh shields with bound hands, and the ropes suddenly broke, and the hands of those men were free. Suddenly, this change happened, and the footsteps of the entire team stopped, and everyone looked at those panicked meat shields at a loss, and those people were also flustered, not knowing what to do next.

The initiator was a small squad of soldiers, one of whom was a clever squad leader, with a dagger in his hand, who was cutting the rope from the hands of another row of meat shields.

"If you want to live, run to the west, there are no soldiers there."

"If you want to live, run to the west, there are no soldiers there."

He repeated the phrase every time he cut the rope from a man's hand, at first he was the only one who did it, then he was followed by five or six of his men, followed by another squad of soldiers.

The highest commander of this group was a burly general, with a long beard, and when he saw the chaos in front of him, he didn't react at first, and when there was a hard labor to get rid of the shackles, he was a little anxious.

"Stop, stop, cut off the heads of those little soldiers for me, and those who violate the order will be killed if they reorganize the team!"

"Yes, General!

A deputy beside him bowed, as if he was about to command the entire army, but he handed out a sharp knife from his waist and stabbed through the lieutenant's burly body with a single knife from the soft underbelly.

"You, you, how dare you kill me? Those who disobey military orders ...... die"

"Fuck you, follow you until everyone dies, you still have the face to speak!"

"Poof!"

The deputy stabbed the heart again, and the deputy curled up and saw that he couldn't survive.

"Brothers, if you want to run to the west for your life, there are no soldiers over there!"

"Come on, help us cut the rope, thank you! Thank you, big brother! ”

"And us, and us."

Thousands of hard laborers also wondered, and now that they had a chance to live, everyone's face was bright, and they called for the people next to them to help cut the rope. The eyes of the slaves lit up, in addition to being happy or excited, this is really a desperate situation, but it is still a little short of real safety, and the first thing to do is to get rid of the soldiers behind them.

In less than a short period of time, the situation under the city was reversed, and those hard laborers who had regained their freedom began to run fast, but after a while, they were overtaken by soldiers with quick legs and feet, and a large flow of people went straight down in the direction of Xicheng.

"Hahaha, did Boyan see it? Haha, I guess I'm going to be angry with him when I see it! Hahaha! ”

Zhao Tianyou couldn't suppress his laughter, Wen Tianxiang and other Song army guards were also happy, it was really unexpected, these people who looked like they were going to die actually started to save themselves, and the Yuan soldiers behind had no chance to chase them.

If it was really in an open place, they would have been walking on two legs, how could they have escaped the war horses of the Yuan soldiers, and after being caught up, they were also hacked to death with knives, so they would not have the idea of escaping at all.

But now it is different, these people have approached the city wall of Guangzhou within one mile, and the Yuan soldiers of the brigade are still about three miles away, and only a small group of Yuan soldiers and cavalry follow the meat shield, and they dare not chase and kill the team of 30,000 people with the combat strength of one hundred and ten people.

There is also the most important threat, as long as they fight their horses to chase the fleeing meat shields, the Song army at the head of the city will definitely not hesitate to send them some cannonballs to taste, so the entire Yuan army brigade is stunned.

"Prime Minister, when I lead the troops to hunt them down, I won't let any of them go."

Ah Shu finally seized an opportunity where no one was fighting him, and was ready to fight to the death for this opportunity, if he succeeded, wouldn't he be able to turn around.

"Forget it, those who run will run, the key is still in this move, everyone must not slack off."
