Chapter 55: Killing
On the city wall of Andong County, Fengzhou, Liu Shuming, the county commander of Anton, looked at the dense soldiers composed of Dongying and Silla stationed outside the city with a heavy heart, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 people, right? Before Liu Shuming joined the company, he would never have imagined that one day, he would face such a spectacular and grand war scene alone!
The garrison force of the entire Andong County is only a few thousand people at full capacity. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Let your thousands of standing troops face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops!
"An urgent report to Lord Thorn Shi, does Lord Thorn Shi have a reply?" Liu Shuming suddenly spoke.
Beside Liu Shuming, Huang Cheng, the master of Andong County, nodded and said: "I was about to report to you, let us hold on to it, the Fengzhou garrison dialect is on the way over, and it will arrive at night." At the same time, on the Chang'an side, Lord Assassin Shi had already sent someone to inform him the day before. It is estimated that it should be almost to Chang'an at this time, and the support from Chang'an will not arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. ”
Hearing that there were reinforcements, Liu Shuming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Now that my side is guarding against the wall, it should not be a big problem to persist until the end of the day, "The Fengzhou garrison only has 20,000 recruits and 10,000 veterans, and when the time comes, we can only protect ourselves when we meet with the dialect adults!" The final result still depends on the reaction of Chang'an! ”
Liu Shuming's heavy mood was relieved by the news just now. At this time, seeing Huang Cheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he said: "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”
When Huang Cheng heard this, he said, "My lord, because our ancestors lived on this coast. That's why I've heard that there is a kind of soldier in this Toei, and they call themselves ninjas. These ninjas will have some ninjutsu and will often be haunted. Now that we have such a huge disparity in strength, the current situation is still not optimistic! ”
was already relieved, but because of Huang Cheng's words, Liu Shuming's heart was lifted again! At this time, Liu Shuming remembered that although he could defend against the wall, did the other party have to use a strong attack? Now in the county government, there are only two third-grade martial artists and ten non-mainstream martial artists sent by the imperial court. If the opponent really has a large number of such strange troops, will he have a chance of winning?
After calming down the mood that was about to suffocate, Liu Shuming said coldly: "Go on!" ”
"We're going to prepare for the worst!"
Taking a deep breath, Liu Shuming instructed: "We will make two arrangements now, one of which is that you immediately take someone to organize it now, and arrange for someone to escape from the secret passage in my study, and escape one by one." The arrangement of one household is to let those who have meritorious service or outstanding abilities in all aspects withdraw first, and then arrange for the elderly, weak, women and children. This matter is carried out in secret, not on a large scale, so as not to cause unnecessary panic. At the same time, the militia is also organized on the wall, and everyone is equipped with a stone bow, and our city cannot be broken! There is only a limit to what I can escape, if the city is broken and tens of thousands of innocent people are wronged, how can I face the trust of the Holy One! Let Zhao Dezhi Martial Master and Zhao Deming Martial Master lead the team to guard the front and rear doors respectively, no one can approach, and the offender will be killed! ”
"What about you, my lord?" After listening to Liu Shuming's meticulous arrangements, he did not mention himself. Huang Cheng couldn't help but speak.
Liu Shuming smiled miserably, "The city is here, I'm here." The city is destroyed, and the people are killed! ”
"Your Excellency, you.."
"Say no more! If... If you can, arrange for my family to leave first, and let me, the magistrate, be selfish for once! ”
Seeing Liu Shuming's resolute face, Huang Cheng knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to sigh, "Then I'll arrange it," as he spoke, Huang Cheng saluted Liu Shuming, turned around and left hurriedly.
"If the arrangements are made, you can also leave with your family, your daughter-in-law is still pregnant with Liujia, and you can't let the child be born without a father!"
Hearing Liu Shuming's words coming from behind him, Huang Cheng paused in place. Wiping away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, Huang Cheng left without looking back.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over, "My lord, the enemy general has asked for a conversation with you!" ”
"Let's go, go to the wall!" Liu Shuming adjusted his mentality, waved his robe, and strode towards the main gate city wall.
From a distance, I saw Liu Shuming, who was wearing official uniforms, striding towards the high platform on the city wall, and the Yoshino dog looked at a man in a scarlet Tang shirt with an obscene appearance beside him, and pointed at Liu Shuming and said, "Hey, Lord Zhengxiong, that is the governor of this city!" ”
Masao Egawa, the younger brother of the Emperor of Toei Province, is also one of the powerful princes of Toei who holds the power of life and death in the country. Due to the impression of the Tang culture, Dongying is in many ways following the many systems of the Tang Dynasty.
Feeling the strong fighting spirit exuded by tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, if you look down from the sky at this time, you can see that the city wall of Andong County is surrounded by dense crowds all around at this moment.
Masao Egawa looked at the small city in front of him like a cat playing with a mouse. In Masao Egawa's heart, he didn't feel that this small city could stop the pace of my Yamato Empire's conquest of the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Chuan Masao shouted to Liu Shuming from afar: "Open the city gate and declare your allegiance to my Emperor, I can be the master and leave your lives behind." Otherwise, if we break the city by ourselves," Speaking of this, Jiang Chuan Masao's eyes were full of fierceness, and he said with monstrous killing intent: "When the time comes, we will kill and not leave a single one!" ”
Liu Shuming looked at Jiang Chuan Zhengxiong with a sneer, "I am in the Tang Dynasty, there are only unjust souls who died in battle, and there are no cowards who have committed treason!" Want to go into town? Fill it with your dog's life! ”
Liu Shuming's reaction was completely expected by Masao Egawa. The hard flesh and bones of Datang are already known to the world. If you want to let the other party open the city gate because of a word, this is undoubtedly a fool's dream! However, in this regard, Masao Egawa has been prepared for a long time.
Hearing Liu Shuming's refusal, Masao Jiangchuan looked calm, and his right hand was slowly raised, "Bring someone to me!" ”
"Hey!"
Not long after, in Liu Shuming's shocked and angry eyes, the old and weak women and children in simple clothes were driven out by the Dongying soldiers like 'livestock'. Seeing these dozens of civilians from fishing villages, including men, women, old and young, some people on the city wall couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that the big cow of Niujia Village and their family?" ”
"And the village of Niujia Village is here with his family! I only went to their house some time ago, and this group of brutes does not even spare the elderly and children! ”
"That's Second Sister Liu of Niujia Village!"
"Oh my God, those women are still pregnant, how dare these brutes do this!"
When a soldier saw a group of Dongying soldiers punching and kicking a woman, he remembered his wife, who was also pregnant with a child at home, and couldn't help but say with enthusiasm, "Beasts, I'm going out to fight them!" ”
"Don't, Ergou, calm down, you can't go out now!"
"Can't go out? Are we here watching our fellow citizens being bullied by them? ”
Suddenly, a roaring voice sounded from the side, "Get out?" Do you know that if you open the city gate and go out, not only will you not be able to save them, but you will also bring tens of thousands of people in our city to be buried with you! Have you thought about the consequences? Rise! ”
Listening to the indignant cursing and crying around him. and the extremely clear, gritting teeth, Liu Shuming's heart is dripping blood! Real blood! Every word that came from my ears was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart. Look at the dozens of old and weak women and children who were driven like 'livestock'! These are my people of the Tang Dynasty! Their simple life, they don't seek money, they don't kill people, they just want to live a difficult life. At the end of the day, why should people be treated like this, suffer like this, suffer this sin!
And as a parent official, I can only watch all this happen and be powerless, suddenly Liu Shuming abandoned the gentleness and elegance that a scholar should have for the first time, and roared heart-rending at Jiang Chuan Zhengxiong, "You brutes, let them go!" When he finished shouting this sentence, Liu Shuming cried! Two lines of tears poured out like a broken embankment!
Feeling the hateful gaze of Liu Shuming and the group of soldiers on the city wall, Masao Egawa seemed to enjoy this gaze, and narrowed his eyes, "Do you want me to let them go?" Simple! Open the gates of the city and swear allegiance to my emperor, and not only will you be all right, but I will also guarantee you glory and wealth! How is it? ”
The village leader of Niujia Village, named Niu Yuanya, is an old man who is over the age of old, with a slender figure and wearing a burlap suit full of patches. Although Hu Yuanya's back is hunched at this moment, Hu Yuanya's eyes are full of unyielding unyieldingness.
Looking at the crying villagers around him, for the first time, Niu Yuanya put on the momentum that a village should have, and said loudly: "Is crying and crying a joke?" Shut it all up! ”
Everyone looked at Niu Yuanya in confusion. Niu Yuanya ignored everyone's puzzled gazes, but turned his gaze to Liu Shuming, who was standing on the city wall in the distance, dressed in official uniform, "My lord, the little old man is the village leader of Niujia Village, and he is here to salute you!" ”
Liu Shuming looked at this scene tremblingly, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence, just watched Niu Yuanya kneel down and bowed, then stood up and said, "My lord, although I haven't been to school, I don't know a single big character." But there is some truth, I still understand. Little old man, I know, now it's our group of unproductive people who are embarrassing you! However, I would like to tell you, please don't be embarrassed. This door must not be opened! We can't afford to take more innocent lives because of us! ”
"Grandpa, are we going to die?" Suddenly, a little girl a few years old came to Niu Yuanya's side and said sweetly. In the eyes of the little girl at this time, the whole world has not yet fully unfolded, and yet.....
Niu Yuanya trembled his hands and hugged the girl, "Sweet girl, grandpa will take you to a world where you can eat rice every day and eat meat, where there will be a lot of toys, many, many..."
"Woo woo~~~"
"Bastard! What is that old man talking about? Kill him for me! "Poof~~" "Uh," looking at an arrow passing through his chest, Niu Yuanya used his only remaining consciousness to show the last smile to the little eyes full of horror.....
"Bang~~", "Ahhhh Brutes, you brutes, you will not die well! Seeing Niu Yuanya die, Liu Shuming on the city wall was completely like a madman, roaring and roaring at Jiangchuan Zhengxiong.
"Fuck it, bastards, brutes, these brutes!! My lord, give the order! Even if I die, I have to pull one on my back, looking at it like this, I'm better off dead! A soldier suddenly said to Liu Shuming.
"Me too!"
"I'll go too!"
"Don't let them have a good time even if they die!"
…… Ignoring the red-eyed soldiers, Liu Shuming looked directly at Jiang Chuan Zhengxiong, "What do you want to do to let them go!" ”
Masao Egawa looked at his fingers as if admiring a perfect work of art. Hearing Liu Shuming's words, Masao Egawa put down his hand and glanced at Yoshino Dog. Yoshino Inu understood, took out a hundred people from the team, and pressed everyone from Niujia Village to the open space in the middle, and each soldier put a knife on the neck of the villagers, along with some children who had already fainted from this battle!
When everything was ready, Egawa Masao shouted, "Now, their lives are in your hands. Or open the gates, and I'll let them go, and everyone will be happy! Otherwise, if you refuse to open the gates, I'll kill them! Now, pick one! ”
Hearing Masao Egawa's words, Liu Shuming, who had never cried once in his life, closed his eyes tightly, and still wet his face with tears. At this time, Liu Shuming chose to retreat for the first time when faced with a choice. In the difficult choice between tens of thousands of lives and dozens of lives, Liu Shuming chose the former.
Under dozens of pairs of eyes containing various complex emotions, Liu Shuming knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed three times on the ground. At this time, Liu Shuming didn't feel the pain in his body at all, and he still relied on the blood on his forehead, "I, Liu Shuming." Hereby make a blood oath of heaven and earth! In my lifetime, I will definitely avenge you and go all the way! ”
"My lord, I hope that in the next life, you can still be our adult!"
"My lord, please don't blame yourself, we don't blame you. You must kill all the dogs for us, let's go first! ”
"I don't want to die! Don't kill me! ”
"Bastard, what's there to be afraid of dying! Don't lose our people, thirty years later, another hero! ”
"Dad, Mom, woo woo woo ~ ~~~"
"Tut-tut, what a touching scene!" Masao Egawa suddenly spoke, waving his hand: "Kill!" "Shoot me!" Liu Shuming looked at the moment when the knife fell, and shouted at the hundred Dongying soldiers.
"Stop, you dare!"
"Shoot!" As soon as Liu Shuming's words fell, a wave of arrows rained up into the sky............
