Chapter 54: The Assembly of the Whole Clan
The magnificent Qianlong City is gloomy, the bustle and noise of the past have disappeared, the doors of every house are closed, the old and young women and children are locked in their homes, and a few pedestrians can occasionally be seen on the street, all of them are worried and in a hurry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
All of them were silently waiting for the final outcome of the all-clan meeting.
In the magnificent hall in the city, the whole clan assembly is going on nervously, and there are many people attending the meeting, in addition to the clan elders, military dignitaries, and officers and soldiers who have fled from the surrounding cities. Liang Mushi and the others are still sticking to their opinions, but the atmosphere at the scene is very different from a few days ago. The chiefs and generals who once preached a lesson for the Northern Coalition Army are now uncharacteristically reticent and silent.
A confrontation, a big defeat, shattered the pride in the bones of many Wikipedians. If even the mighty Sand Python Legion chooses to flee, what else can they expect?
It seems that the Wikipedians are at the end of their rope.
In the face of the olive branch thrown by the patriarch Xiao Shile, the other party showed disdain, and even expressed his contempt for the Wikipedians with an undeclared war.
I can't beat it, and no one pays attention to it. Is there only one way left to surrender?
"The Wikipedians have always been the masters of the Tigris continent and have an illustrious history. These glories were bought by the Wikipedians with their own blood and lives, and no one should be allowed to desecrate. Even if we are defeated today, what can we do? There are 5 million valiant people behind us.
Therefore, for the glory of the Wikipedians, for the sake of the 5 million people of the Wikipedians, we must fight to the end no matter what, even if we fight to the last man, we must not give in to the other side! Liang Mushi, with gray temples, stood in front of everyone, waving his arms and speaking loudly and generously.
"That's right! Even if you die in battle, you must not give in!! Several Wikipedia generals who supported Liang Mushi also stood in the crowd and shouted excitedly.
Their words were fierce and imposing, but there was an unusually silence around them, and there was little to talk about.
Liang Mushi was emotional when he saw this, showing an expression full of righteous indignation.
"A bunch of cowards, cowards! Lost the face of the ancestors! ”
"Uncle Shi, calm down first." Xiao Shile walked up to Liang Mushi at this time and said mildly.
"Calm down, how can I calm down! If you look at the way they look now, they have a bit of a bloody backbone. Liang Mushi stared at the triangular eyes, staring at the people in front of him majestically.
"Old stone! What nonsense are you talking about? A burly old man who seemed to be a few years older than Liang Mushi couldn't stand his sneering, and retorted violently: "If you talk about bloody backbone, my Gu Feng will not be half a point less than you, and you will give me less trouble here!" ”
"If you don't say anything there, you're obviously afraid!" Liang Mushi said stubbornly.
"Rabbit cub, dare to say that I am afraid! Back then, you were under siege, if it weren't for me and my brothers who worked hard to save you, you would have already exposed your corpses to the wilderness, don't know how to bite people indiscriminately. ”
"Brother Gu Feng, I know your life-saving grace, but you are really afraid of this matter, I am not a three-year-old child." Liang Mushi sneered when he heard this, and pointed at everyone again: "And you, you, don't think I don't know your mind, hum!" ”
Xiao Shile saw that he was also in the ranks of being accused, and his heart suddenly became a little annoyed, Liang Mushi, Gu Feng and several other old people, they were all old brothers who followed their father to fight in the east and west, and now they are all in their fifties, according to the average age of Wikipedians, they can be regarded as long-lived people. After Xiao Shile served as the patriarch, he respected them as the elders of the clan, and not only gave them rich rewards, but also personally proposed that they become elders of the clan and live for a long time. But this beam of wood and stone doesn't know which tendon is wrong, in front of so many people, the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, and the eyes are not the eyes, and even the patriarch himself is no exception.
"Elder Liang's words, I don't dare to agree!" At this moment, a sonorous voice suddenly came from the crowd, and immediately after, a Wikipedia general with an awe-inspiring face and full armor strode out.
"That's right, I'm scared. Because we're no match for anyone else at all! ”
However, before he could continue, he was interrupted by Liang Mushi shouting:
"Xiao Tuya, you fart! A deserter, what face does he have to come out and speak? It's clearly demagoguery! Come! Drag him down for me. ”
The person who came was Xiao Tuya, the deputy commander of the 3rd Legion.
As soon as Liang Mushi said this, not only Xiao Tuya's eyes froze, but even several other generals in the army were also angry.
"Elder Liang, I said my opinion to help everyone recognize the facts, why are you making indiscriminate accusations? Today is the general meeting of the whole clan, but it is not a hall of Elder Liang's words. Xiao Tuya's face was sad and indignant, and he said in a deep voice: "Our 3rd Legion has lost tens of thousands of brothers outside Sword Pavilion City, why do you insult us and charge me with arbitrary charges, I don't accept it!" ”
"We're not convinced!" Several generals of the Sand Python Legion also stood up, exuding a compelling momentum.
"You want to rebel, come on, arrest a few of them!" Liang Mushi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and said to the guards who rushed into the main hall.
Seeing this, the guards looked at each other, they didn't dare to disobey Liang Mushi's orders, but Xiao Tuya was a few arrogant soldiers, and if he was not careful, he would be killed by the other party.
"Stop it!" Xiao Shile's face turned pale, and he shouted to the guards: "You guys go out!" ”
"Patriarch!" Liang Mushi was about to speak out to dissuade him, but saw Xiao Shile waving his hand at him: "Today is the whole clan meeting, everyone has the right to speak at the meeting, this is the rule set by the ancestors, could it be that Elder Liang has forgotten?" ”
Liang Mushi was stunned when he heard this, but he saw Xiao Shile looking at him with a smile, a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he was speechless.
Xiao Shile turned his head at this time, faced Xiao Tuya and said, "General Xiao, tell me your opinion!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Tuya first bowed to Xiao Shile, and then to the elders. Then he stood before them without fear, and said:
"Everyone knows that I escaped from Sword Pavilion City, and the situation was the same as today, except that the other party used a different weapon. Originally, Lord Huyan and I planned to return to Qianlong City with the 3rd Legion and gather the strength of the whole clan to fight to the death with the other party, and we have always been prepared for this. But just a few days ago, I met several brothers who had fled from Huncheng, and after listening to their descriptions, I suddenly changed my mind. ”
"What did they say?" Someone asked.
"Everyone has seen the strength of the other party today, to put it mildly, even if you push all the sand python legions up, it will be in vain. It's not that we're not brave enough, it's that the other side has mastered the power of nature, which has long been superior to manpower, and can't be defeated by bloody courage.
It stands to reason that the other party has this kind of power, and it is easy to kill us all, but the brothers who escaped back said that the northern coalition army only killed all the rebels, and did not commit any crimes against the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, including the wounded soldiers, and even bandaged the wounds of the wounded soldiers before forcing them to leave the city.
This incident suddenly reminded me of the Battle of the Sword Pavilion, when the other party could also attack the Sword Pavilion and kill us, but they didn't do that, they just forced us to take the initiative to retreat. What can you think of through these two things? ”
Xiao Tuya said this, suddenly stopped, and everyone looked pensive. (To be continued.) )
