Chapter 196: Choices in Decline
Seeing a large number of cavalry led by Chen Xiaochu and Zhao Yun entering the interior of Shanchun City, Senlan Maru felt that the pressure increased several times in an instant, and he originally wanted to rely on his martial arts to kill the enemy general, and then take advantage of the chaos to break through, but he didn't expect to encounter such a variable.

"Is this man their lord?" Seeing that Pei Yuanqing also stopped his movements and looked at Chen Xiaochu's slight forehead, Senlan Pill couldn't help but think.
"Lord Lord!" Genmen Jiro came to Chen Xiaochu with a group of generals and colonels of the New Guard, and bowed in unison.
Chen Xiaochu nodded, then looked at Ono Ingao and said, "Are you injured?" Did it hurt badly? ”
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Lord Lord, it's just a minor injury." Ono said with a reluctant smile as he gently hammered the knife wound in his chest.
"I'll treat you when the matter here is over." After Chen Xiaochu finished speaking, he looked at Genmen Jiro and said, "Tell me what the situation is now." ”
A feeling of being ignored filled Senranmaru's heart, watching Chen Xiaochu listen to Genmen Jiro's report unhurriedly, and looking at himself from time to time, Senranmaru had a feeling of being looked at as a monkey, and suddenly couldn't help but say: "You are the commander of the enemy army who led this battle, don't you feel ashamed of using such a despicable method?" I have heard that China is a country of etiquette, advocating glory and reputation, so how can it use such a way of fighting? Do you dare to fight in a dignified and upright way, Dongying legend says that Mr. Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, once captured Meng and captured seven verticals, this is the real royal road, the real way of fighting of Chinese civilization, if you are really a ruler from China, then follow the example of Mr. Zhuge Kongming and let me go, if I am defeated by you next time, I will definitely be convinced by you. ”
"Oh." Chen Xiaochu couldn't help but smile when he heard Senlan Maru's words, and smiled as he looked at the remnant defender soldiers behind him with a look of fear on their faces.
"General Pei, it's already embarrassing to let you deign to be an instructor, how can I bother you to fight with the pawns before the battle, I believed in intelligence too much and underestimated the strength of the defenders, I'm really embarrassed." Chen Xiaochu ignored Senlan Pill, but looked at Pei Yuanqing and smiled.
"It's okay, it's just my own itching for a while, since Lord Chen is here in person, I can't play anymore, please Lord Chen decide." Pei Yuanqing smiled and withdrew the double hammer when he heard this, then returned to his mount and ordered the new guards to gather the whole team.
"Is this preparing for an attack?" Hearing the conversation between Chen Xiaochu and Pei Yuanqing, Senranmaru thought vigilantly in his heart, those big Han period men and white horse righteous servants in front of him, everyone had bows and arrows wound, and the crossbow machine twisted and aimed, such a formation made Senlan Maru a little impatient, the contrast of strength was too great, and the last possibility of breaking through was also extinguished.
"Give you one last chance to surrender, Ashigaru discard your weapons, squat on the ground and surrender, I will let you go home, the samurai take off all your armor and weapons, and I will give you a chance to seppuku." Chen Xiaochu moved a few steps forward to make sure that his words could be heard by the people opposite, and pointed to the open space in the center and continued: "If you refuse to surrender, the end will be to be turned into ashes with Shanchun City, this is the last chance, now, if you want to surrender, stand in the middle and start moving, if you don't surrender, please retreat, I will give you a chance to express your loyalty." ”
As soon as Chen Xiaochu's words were finished, Senlan Pill felt that the military spirit behind him was very unstable, and many feet whispered to each other, whispered, turned their heads to look at each other's expressions, and everyone's feet began to be unable to stand.
"Despicable, inferior, shameless, this is not a royal battle, do you still want to swallow everything of the Dongying people in such a way and occupy this side of the world? This will not get the support of all Dongying people. After listening to Chen Xiaochu's encouragement, Senlan Pill felt the sense of decadence of the general trend, and immediately looked at Chen Xiaochu angrily and said.
"Occupy? In the tank? Chen Xiaochu looked at Senranmaru with a hint of sadness on his face and continued: "You seem to have made a mistake, I never wanted to occupy any place here, nor did I want to get the support of all the Dongying people in the past. ”
One after another, the ashigaru began to flee from the formation held by the remnants of the defenders, throwing away the bamboo spears in their hands and running towards Chen Xiaochu's side, and then crouching around the captives who were guarded by the New Guard.
"You have seen very clearly what my fighting style looks like, but you have not found out my perseverance, what you said is not wrong, Huaxia is a country of etiquette, but that is the way of communication used to treat the subservient, this is a kind of self-restraint of the superior moral restraint, to treat the enemy who wants to destroy each other, there is no need for any etiquette, as for you think that I use the villagers who collect the corpses as a cover, and I owe something morally, that is just a reason why you are unwilling to admit defeat in your heart, At this moment, your people are burning and looting in the thousands of villages and towns of my China, and no moral restraint can stop their atrocities, only overwhelming force can stop all this, and when there is overwhelming force, moral restraint can exert the greatest effect. Morality only exists on the surface of self-restraint, and what is truly binding is the other factors below the surface. Ask yourself, what is your resistance for, and when I have managed to do nothing to harm any villagers, not to plunder any property, and only to defeat your military organization, how much righteousness will be left in your heart? What I'm doing at the moment is justice, and since I feel that morality plays a major role, then surrender. ”
"Is this, justice, justice so cruel to us?" Moriranmaru watched as most of his ashigaru left their entrenched position, squatting next to the new guard in submission, and suddenly felt unsteady on his feet. In the battle against England, these men were brave and fearless, and with the encouragement of Maeda Toshiie, they defeated several Templars who were invincible in the hearts of the rulers of Toei, but at this moment, these once brave soldiers crouched obediently to the side because of this man's words.
Moran Maru knew that there was a disparity in strength, but more importantly, the people who captured them were the Toei themselves, and this was the biggest decisive factor, which was a group effect that could disintegrate resistance, and people would fight because of their simple differences, and they would give up resistance because they had similar commonalities.
"Reduced to ashes or seppuku, hurry up and choose." Chen Xiaochu looked at Senranmaru, who was powerless to stop Ashigaru from leaving, and spoke.
"Flames... Moriranmaru's mouth muttered, as if he had returned to the moment before he was reborn, his left hand reflexively touched his knee, the memory before death, the pain of his body being slashed remained in his heart like a brand, the raging fire, and the contemptuous eyes of Akechi Mitsuhide, "Nobunaga, I can't die, I still have to watch you descend into this world, and I have to realize the ideal world in our hearts."
