With a crisp sound of gold, the Ming army, which was constantly attacking the walls of Sicheng, finally stopped, and then retreated like a tide, which made the local soldiers and generals in the city breathe a sigh of relief, but there was no joy on their faces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the Ming army was repelled again, and judging from today's sky, the Ming army could not launch a new round of attack, but everyone knew that this was just a slight delay, with the current disparity in strength between the two sides, I am afraid that one day, this Sicheng Prefecture will be broken by the Ming army outside the city, and then what awaits them will be the most terrible revenge.

But even if they knew that this would be the end in the end, they could only grit their teeth and hold on, this was a decision made by their toast and their city lord. Moreover, the moment everyone followed Cen Yunmo to raise the anti-flag, there was no possibility of turning back, and the only thing they could do was to continue to hold on and repel the Ming army's attacks again and again until the moment they died in battle.

This realization made everyone's expressions indifferent, indifferently finding a place to sit down at the head of the city, indifferently dragging aside the corpses of his comrades who had been killed in the previous battle, and indifferently taking the dry and cold steamed buns from the hands of the people, and eating them indiscriminately with cold water. It seems that each of them is just a machine in the defense line of this city, and there is no personal idea anymore.

Just as all this was happening, as had happened for many days before, a group of people strode up to the city. Everyone subconsciously looked up, and then, the original indifferent expression changed slightly, and there was a little excitement and expectation: "General Ji ......"

It was Ji Baicang who could bring some vitality to these soldiers, and when he saw the very bleak scene at the head of the city, his nose didn't feel sour. These people are all in Sicheng Prefecture, and they are all the most loyal people in the Cen family, and Cen Yunmo is using these people's lives to satisfy his selfish desires!

After taking a deep breath, Ji Baicang slowly hugged his fists at these native soldiers, which made the native soldiers stunned, and many of them hurriedly got up and returned the salute to the respected old general.

And this movement quickly alarmed a young general who was hiding in the city tower-Qu Bao. As Cen Yunmo's confidant, it was his persistence and command here that allowed Sicheng to resist the attack of the Ming army. At the same time, he was also very aware of Cen Yunmo's suspicion of Ji Baicang and other old people, and when he saw these people suddenly coming to the city, his heart moved, and then he greeted him with a vigilant face: "Why does Ji Lao have to come to my city with leisure?" It's not safe here, I think you're still ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Baicang waving his hand: "Qu Bao, do you think these people can really defend Sicheng?" ”

"Ah......" Qu Bao was slightly stunned, but then sneered: "Whether this city can be defended or not, what does it have to do with you Ji Baicang." I am guarding the city on the orders of the city lord, as long as I am here, as long as there is still a soldier here, I will hold on to the end! ”

"Good! Okay, what does this have to do with me...... A good sentence to keep to the end! Do you know how many people have died in this city during this time? Do you know what will happen to the soldiers and civilians in this city if this continues? Ji Baicang finally broke out, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded loudly: "Do you know that these are all things that we should protect, and they are guarded by the old city lord and us old guys for decades!" And you ...... Because of some selfishness of yours, you are going to destroy all this, and now you are telling me what does everything have to do with me? Are you really that when we are old, we can't do anything? ”

"You...... Dare to make a big fuss here and mess with our army's heart! Qu Bao was also annoyed when he heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he said sharply: "Come on, arrest all these guys for me and hand them over to the city lord to deal with!" ”

Several pro-soldiers behind him wanted to step forward when they heard the order, but they were stopped by Ji Baicang's shining old eyes, only to see him draw his knife in his hand and shout: "I see who dares to do it to me!" At the same time, the people who came with him also drew their weapons in their hands, and looked like they were ready to go up and fight with him at any time, except for three people, who happened to watch everything in front of them for a long time.

These three people are Yang Zhen and a few of them.

After Ji Baicang took Cen Yunmo, he sent someone home to call the three of them over and discussed with them. When he knew what Ji Baicang had done, Yang Zhen's spirit was lifted, and he immediately put forward the suggestion of striking while the iron was hot and opening the city gate to surrender.

In this regard, neither Ji Baicang nor anyone else had any objections, so after a little preparation, they rushed to the city and had the current scene.

"I can't see it, this old man still has some prestige, and none of those native soldiers dared to move because of his words." Yang Zhen praised in a whisper.

"Of course. Ji Bo was also a famous general in Guangxi at the beginning, otherwise he would not have the name of the bronze lion. It's just that with the increase of age and loyalty to Cen Shaoxun, this has been suppressed by Cen Yunmo. But now, as soon as the knot is untied, the old lion is about to show his heroism! Zhukong Yan sighed softly.

Sure enough, under Ji Baicang's authority, none of those native soldiers dared to step forward, but they just stood there hesitantly, but they didn't know what to do.

Seeing this situation, Qu Bao was immediately shocked and angry, and scolded loudly: "It's the opposite! You Ji Baicang is really the opposite, and you ......"

"It's you who are the opposite, you don't care about the situation in the city, you actually dare to raise the anti-flag and oppose the court, do you really not know how to write the word dead? At this time, I still don't know how to repent! Do you have to wait until the knife is on your neck before you regret it? Ji Baicang didn't look at Qu Bao, and a pair of old eyes only swept on the faces of the native soldiers at the head of the city: "Don't you want to live a peaceful life, do you have to do this kind of thing to destroy the Nine Clans?" Just for the ambition of one or two of them?

"The old man watched you grow up, and he will never allow you to die because of this! But if you want to be rescued, you also need to save yourself, now is a great opportunity to save yourself, hurry up and open the city gate to join the official army, so as to save your own life! Finally, Ji Baicang explained the purpose of his visit.

"You...... Old thief, traitor, eat me! Seeing that the more he spoke, the more he couldn't speak, Qu Bao finally couldn't hold it back, and he personally drew his knife and rushed forward, with a knife in his head.

......Seeing this, Zhu Kongyan hurriedly wanted to step forward to help, but he didn't want to be pulled by Yang Zhen: "Don't worry, Ji Lao, he can handle it!" ”

As if to confirm Yang Zhen's words, as soon as his words fell, Ji Baicang's hand had already poked out like thunder. At this time, the knife in Qu Bao's hand had just slashed in front of him, but immediately, his wrist holding the knife was suddenly buckled. I saw Ji Baicang take advantage of the situation to pull and push, looking at the rather stocky Qu Bao's body was staggering, and as soon as Ji Baicang let go, he flew out like a kite with a broken string, slammed into the city wall on the side, and let out a muffled snort.

This empty-handed into the white blade, coupled with the kung fu of borrowing strength, surprised everyone present. Although everyone was full of respect for Ji Baicang, they didn't expect him to be so powerful, and he knocked such a Qu Bao to the ground with just a wave of his hand.

After a long time, Qu Bao struggled to prop himself up from the ground, and his fierce gaze fell on the old man: "You are really determined to turn back." Someone is coming, why don't you go and report to the city lord and ask him to bring someone to get him quickly! He didn't dare to do it himself, so he could only hope for Cen Yunmo.

"You don't have to think about it, Yun Mo has been taken down by me before, and he seems to be crazy when he looks like he has lost his mind, all of this is wrong! He asked everyone to desperately resist the official army, which was a decision made when he was mad, do you have to work hard for such a person to accompany the funeral? Ji Baicang once again said something shocking and inexplicable.

And these words were even more shocking, even stronger than the effect of him raising his hand to knock Qu Bao down, and all the soldiers stood there stunned, their faces full of confusion and surprise.

"The old man knows that many of you will think that I am committing a rebellion by doing this, but the old man has a clear conscience, all this is for my Sicheng Prefecture and our deceased old city lord. I know that if the old city lord was still alive at this time, he would definitely make the same choice as me. No, if he were still here, there would not have been such a change, and we would not have rebelled at all! ”

Ji Baicang's words reached the ears of all the native soldiers, making them suddenly stunned. They unconsciously began to think about whether everything would really be as he said, what was the attitude of the old city lord Cen Shaoxun, whom they respected and were familiar with.

In the end, everyone showed a knowing look. Ji Baicang is right, Cen Shaoxun will never let so many people fight to the death because of the honor and disgrace of his family, let alone rebel knowing the consequences.

I don't know who got the head, and a knife was thrown to the ground with a choked sound, followed by a second person, and a third person...... The native soldiers at the head of the city threw their weapons on the ground one after another, and some people also said: "Ji Lao is right, we are willing to open the city and surrender, and no longer resist......

"We are willing to surrender ......"

"We don't fight ......"

Everyone made a final decision, and no one holding weapons in the city, including Qu Bao's own soldiers, also dropped their weapons.

Qu Bao, on the other hand, leaned against the wall with a surprised and unwilling face, and didn't know how to react for a while.

In Yang Zhen's satisfied smile, Ji Baicang took a deep breath and said, "Lower the flag and surrender ...... Kaecheng."
