Chapter 115: Waking Up from a Dream (Text)

Chapter 115: Awakening from a dream

This is the city of eternal life - Guangfu, the streets and alleys are full of lights of all-night amusement, wandering at home and abroad with a thousand strange accents and tones, all the Chinese and naturalized people who opened the feudal domain and colonized overseas, the spiritual home and sustenance that haunt the dream.

For hundreds of years, as the largest port of the dynasty,

In addition to the native Chinese or the descendants of the Tang people born in the sea, there are too many Fan and naturalized ethnic groups gathered in the city, from the north of the East China Sea, the Silla people and the Japanese people, to the hot and humid Indochina Peninsula on the Bi people, Zhenla people, Zhuran people and Linyi people;

From the Borneo barbarians, Babu barbarians, and Judao barbarians in the southeastern islands, to the dozens of tame and mature natives in Nantianzhu, the naturalized Persians and great food species in Yuanzhou, and even the Kunlun countries in the far south, the Great Qin and Taixi countries in Xiniuhezhou.

Even those who are not named, but there are a wide variety of island slaves, dotting the city with a diverse gathering.

It also makes the five cities and twelve districts of Guangfu condense too many characteristics and customs, so that no matter from that direction, you can feel different customs and impressions.

For example, idyllic songs, or workshops stretching, or trade gatherings, or seaport events, or pavilions and villas like forests, or mountains and rivers,

For hundreds of years, the wealth accumulated in this city is enough to ⊥ those ministers and dignitaries who have a huge net worth and nothing to do, and the rich and wealthy have transformed the environment and landform near their homes and residences into what they need to meet their needs for squandering and comparison.

However, it is obvious that this qiē has been disturbed by the sudden turbulent undercurrent. Although the rebels entered the city under the banner of "Qingjun's side, hoeing treachery", the riots that really spread made those people and naturalized people who did not look like traditional Chinese people not exempt from being punished.

In this chaotic and frenzied situation of ignorance, no one will have the patience to distinguish them, rushing into the house in droves, dragging them out, beating them, robbing them wantonly and discarding them indiscriminately, and in the shadows of the street corners and alleys, other more tragic things are happening in turn.

During the day, the city of eternal life was also shrouded in a gray mist by the smoke emitted by the various stars that were not burned or newly started, so that the misery and evil that was taking place loomed as if it were a distorted abstraction.

As a corner of the city, Meishan Hotel continues to suffer in some kind of confrontation.

After the old dead and wounded were cleared, the courtyard and the steps were filled with new corpses, and the enemy was closer to their purpose, clinging to long ladders, holding bumper logs at every exit and ledge, hand-to-hand combat with the almost helpless defenders.

The enemy's gunners had also come close enough, and although they were obviously freshmen who had taken up their positions in a hurry, they had become less and less impatient and stunning, to familiarize themselves with and grasp the accuracy, but to push closer little by little under the protection of the platoon.

Although the speed of this thing's launch is slower than that of the firecracker, but the sporadic launch of the slowly swallowed is more deterrent and damaging than dozens of firecrackers, although most of them hit the walls and edges, as long as they are accidentally shot, even if it is a bulky solid iron pellet, it will also bounce in the room, and the people and things it encounters will be beaten to pieces.

Next door to me, I was hit by a shot, and then the cover was directly penetrated, killing and injuring several people on the spot, and then the bouncing projectile caused a second damage, and then the gunpowder of the gunner was also ignited, causing another additional damage.

When the new personnel were replenished, it was found that the entire room of a dozen people had turned into a Shura field with only various broken arms and legs, exuding a certain smell of cooked meat, and in this case, if you want to poke your head and body out and stop those attackers, you must have enough tenacity and determination.

What's worse is that once the opponent advances, you can use shot blasting, that is, the original shotgun with a shorter range, which does not require so much hit, but the lethality and threat are not reduced in the slightest.

The opponent's gunners also stood by the artillery and began to fight as a cover, although the general range and accuracy were not very good, but after reaching a certain number, all kinds of stray bullets still caused certain casualties.

For example, because I took turns holding a few firearms on the edge of the windowsill, I was also rubbed under my ribs, pulling out a long blood groove.

But the pain only made me calmer or numb, even as the screams of the rebels breaking through the barriers and the slaughter could be heard in the rooms and corridors downstairs.

I put down the hot barrel, picked up another freshly reloaded longgun, and slowly reached out, aiming at the gunners who had come to a stop at close range, a distance that should intimidate them

Because I saw that someone was starting to pour something like a funnel into the cocked muzzle, which was supposed to be the bulk material used by the "trolls", and then I strapped the front sight to the barrel of the gun a little above his head, so that the ballistic parabola, if I was lucky, could just hit him in the back.

Like a blind cat touching a dead mouse, a shot hit the gunner who was lighting the fire, breaking his forearm in half, and the remaining palm part, along with the torch he was holding, flew and fell on what looked like a medicine box.

A moment later, with a dull thud, the position of the three cannons and the gunners was enveloped in a gray-brown smoke.

When the smoke cleared again, all I could see was a pile of flying stumps and splattered blood, soaked in brown radial dirt pits.

As for the artillery itself, it is no longer visible, and the other two guns have also been blown down, and it will not be useful for a while.

There's a time to stop there, I thought,

Like a signal, the guards in the main building of the hotel, taking the opportunity to boost their morale, will have the "rebels" who have broken into the museum, summon up the courage to fight the counter-charge, and turn them into corpses falling from the windowsill aisle like raindrops or living people who have been pushed down, and then all kinds of backs fleeing in a hurry in the burning smoke.

But in the process, dozens of people fell, and they couldn't get up anymore, and the guards were redistributed, and I found that less than half of the so-called most elite cavalry guards were left, and there were only more than a hundred people left in the manpower brought by my own family.

And after continuous engagement, they are already exhausted, how long can this intensity of battle last, and whether they can do it again in the back-to-light counterattack, it's really hard to say.

But at least I'm alive, and I'm going to continue to fight for that little chance of survival. Back in the building, I dragged my tired body, inspected the various posts, and forced a smile to comfort and comfort them one by one.

At this time, Han Liangchen, who had this scarf wrapped around his shoulders and arms, whispered to me with a stern face. The manpower in the building that was supposed to be replaced has not arrived for a long time.

"Yes......"

I ordered a few guards who were in good shape, and followed me through the corridors and side halls, up a messy staircase, where traces of fierce fighting were almost everywhere the rebels burst in.

The large pools of blood and corpses that had not had time to be cleaned up, as well as the combatants who were tired and lying on the ground like corpses, and who only reacted slightly when they came to them, and some of the wounded who had been turned into corpses or were in the process of being turned into corpses because of the lack of medicine and treatment.

Numb and sluggish lying on the corpse, retrieving all kinds of items that can continue to be used, and becoming covered in bloody remnants of maids, slaves or something.

I was a little physically and mentally exhausted, and returned to the inner hall located on the upper floor of the main building, where the more important personnel and the old and weak women and children who had no combat effectiveness, as well as the last supplies, were all transferred, because the hall on the lower floor and the corridor aisle on the second and third floors had become battlefields.

As is customary, this will be the last stronghold and battlefield that we use to preserve the last vestiges of dignity and decency, and the narrow corridors and digressions will become natural dangers,

Of course, at this point, we are trapped in a situation where the beast is waiting to be killed, and the rest is the question of how to die, early death and late death, because the rebels who have mastered most of the substructures, even if they don't have to attack, they can clean us all up with smoke.

There are two nursing homes standing in front of the door, so I can't help frowning, there are not enough people at the bottom, they came here to see what the door is, is this laziness in disguise,.

They dared to stop me, and only allowed me to enter alone, and then I was forced aside by the short guns and crossbows against my head.

The few I brought were all warriors who were selected from life and death, and they subdued these people lightly

Then I thought about it and pushed the door open slightly, but found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall, and it was obviously divided into two camps.

The most conspicuous thing was standing in the corner of the wall, surrounded by several strong men with swords, and a small number of people, including the mysterious creature and Mrs. Chen, were all held hostage.

There were also two corpses on the ground, with a lot of blood holes on their bodies, and a large amount of blood flowed.

A middle-aged man with fair skin like a woman was yelling, and there were more than a dozen people standing behind him, including the original nursing home and the guests.

As if they had made some kind of agreement, they were using their swords to force the rest of the old and weak women and children back to the edge of the wall.

"Tanlang, why do you ...... this?"

Even under the threat of the sword, Mrs. Chen seemed to want to make another effort to persuade her

"If there is any dissatisfaction and dislike, we should think about it in the future, and now we should work together in the same boat......

"At the end of the day......"

The fair-skinned middle-aged man was excited, pointing to her catharsis as she foamed

"It's all your ......"

"I didn't have to be so ......"

"Just hand you over,"

"And then ......"

I pushed the door open

"Let's obediently wait together, slaughtered like pigs and sheep......

"Now that you've done that, do you think the other party will let go of any living mouth that might be identified?

"Stop,"

The other party jumped to his feet excitedly

"Otherwise, no one will be better off ......"

"I'm Yi Anhou, the senior minister of the Great Mansion, and the patriarch of the Sect Domain......"

Then he chattered like a nervous woman

"They won't ...... me like that"

"Send someone to ...... promised me"

I shook my head, how can I get there with this kind of second goods, or the fear of being in a desperate situation, has made them mentally broken, and Li Lingzhi is dizzy.

As I spoke, I took a few steps closer to him.

"You sent it just in time ......"

His face was a scheming flush.

"Just take your ......"

"Yes......"

I spread my hands so he could see that I wasn't armed, and stepped forward again. Suddenly pressed the belt buckle, pulled out the soft blade on the waist, and felt the general direction, and suddenly pumped,

With a scream, he held the palm of his hand that had four fingers cut off, and a large piece of skin and flesh on his face suddenly cracked and burst out with blood, and then I lightly pulled his neck with a soft blade to cover it.

"What are you going to say now?"

Then I said with an understatement to my accomplices who were eager to put their swords on the hostages' necks as if they were on the verge of a great enemy

"You can do it......"

"What"

At this moment, not only those accomplices, but even the hostages' faces changed.

"Is there a difference between dying here and dying at the hands of the rebels......

I continued

"But at least I'll find out your whole family, not one of the cats, dogs, chickens and dogs, and "how dare you ......" for their burial

Someone couldn't hold their weapon and fell to the ground with a clang, which was like a signal

Then with a bang, the side window was knocked open, and the backup called, under the leadership of Bo Fu, rushed in, knocked those accomplices over the uniforms one by one, and suddenly achieved an overwhelming advantage.

A moment later,

"How is this going on......"

I looked at the enigmatic creatures that were a little aggrieved

"Didn't you take turns watching Ami and ......"

"Who knew that those female dependents had internal responses, and they directly deceived people......

She said in a low voice.

"It also killed people......"

I looked at it, the bright red strangulation marks and a palm print on the neck of the enigmatic creature, a nameless anger, and said coldly

"Who's that accomplice?"

She glanced at a woman, who was slumped on the ground like a terrified quail

Then I walked over, and the woman, who kept retreating, said incoherently in a panic

"You...... You...... It can't be like this, I'm a family member of the country......"

"I can give you power, money, official positions, and so on......"

"Fuck you power......"

I grabbed her bun and dragged her viciously down the hallway to the amidst heart-rending screams and pleadings, and then spoke

"Goodbye, good ......"

Shoved out of a window, and in the terrible scream of waving hands and feet like butterflies, it turned into a blood flower that quickly bloomed on the stained ground.

Then the noise in the hall was gone.

After solving the internal problems at some cost, we have to return to the harsh reality of being besieged.

The rebels gathered in the courtyard blew the rhythm of some kind of drum and trumpet, apparently no longer deliberately disguised, and with the sound of drums and trumpets,

Some of the figures covered in blood or disheveled clothes were dragged to the courtyard with their backs tied, and then rows of knives flashed, blood gushed like springs, and rows of headless corpses collapsed to the ground with the rolling heads.

But it was the other party who began to execute in front of the formation, and killed these generals who fled back due to ineffective attack, one by one, on the spot, there were dozens of people, all of whom seemed to be the leaders and officers.

Then a new formation was gathered, and they hummed some unknown tune, and slowly pressed forward again, looking extremely determined and determined.

"Listen to Ami, have you seen a lot of dead people? ……”

"Yes, all sorts of dead people......"

"Now I've met with you too......"

I led the enigmatic creature and watched from the rooftop on the top floor, the hideous face of the large armor light and open flame holding soldiers coming in my direction, and felt the wet sweat of her palms.

"Do you regret it......"

I pretended to be relaxed and turned my head sideways

"Got mixed with me......"

"I do regret it......"

The voice of the enigmatic creature forced its composure to reach my ears

"But does it work......"

"If I die here, it's a happy ...... I can also pull a few pads."

I even had the heart to joke

"But if you fall into their hands......"

"Then please give me a decent result first......"

She looked at my eyes seriously with the same face and said,

"I don't want to embarrass the face of modern people, but I still can't help but be afraid, afraid that I don't have the courage to break myself......"

"Woo......"

Suddenly I turned around and stood on tiptoe, and something wet and soft, like a dragonfly touching water, hit my mouth hard,

"Don't get me wrong, the old lady doesn't want to cheapen other people's ......"

She explained in a panic, but she involuntarily recoiled several times, wiping her lips with the sleeves of her skirt, as if to get rid of the dirt.

Then he tripped and fell to the ground for no reason, and in a panic he showed a rare childlike appearance, and fled in the wilderness.

"Rest assured, we won't be so easy to fold the ...... here"

I savor the taste of this lip flap, although it is a mysterious creature that does not know its real age, but at least this body is still a young man.

"I haven't enjoyed enough of the benefits of this era, and I haven't given full play to my abilities, and there is still a big harem dream that hasn't been realized......"

I laughed at myself

"How can you die lightly......"

As if echoing my expectations, there was a sudden cacophony of noise blowing in the wind, as if the notes and rhythms had been suddenly disrupted.

Although the formation formed by these "rebels" was still marching, the rear ranks they left on the streets outside the wall, along with their baggage and wounded, were broken up by another fresh force that had been killed from the bottom of the mountain, and turned into one after another screams of exclamation.
