Chapter 263: The True Man
"Fainted?" , Zeng Mo frowned and breathed a sigh of relief, "Splash him up with water, and then pull him into the military tent for me!" ”
Peng Yue was afraid that Zeng Mo would directly dispose of Xiao Han in the military tent, so he hurriedly followed Zeng Mo to the camp tent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
By the time Peng Yue and Zeng Mo came to the camp, Xiao Han was already kneeling there with his head down.
"Xiao Han, you still have the face to come here!" , Zeng Mo sat down in front of the handsome case in the military tent, "You abandoned the city and fled for your life, ignoring the soldiers and people in the city, and said to yourself, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”
Xiao Han just lowered his head at first, silently listening to Zeng Miao's reprimand, but in the end, he couldn't help it, so he raised his head, looked at Zeng Miao, and said, "My lord, I know, I... Abandon the city and flee, I deserve to die, but... I didn't ignore the soldiers and people of the city... I...", Xiao Han didn't know how to explain it, stammered, and finally cried aggrieved.
"Do you dare to fight back?" , Peng Yue grabbed the manuscript on Shuai's case and threw it at Xiao Han. Xiao Han didn't hide, and smashed it all on his face impartially, but his tears still didn't stop.
"Manly man, I did something wrong, and I'm embarrassed to cry here...", although Zeng Mo said this, his heart also softened a little, "Since you said that you didn't ignore the people in the city, then why did you say that after the city was broken, you came back alive, do you know, after you fled, Tartar... Slaughtered the city..."
"The Tartars slaughtered the city?" , Xiao Han raised his head and looked at Zeng Mo in dismay, expecting a negative answer.
Zeng Mo snorted coldly and glanced at him disdainfully.
Xiao Han shouted and smashed the ground with his hand. He fell on his stomach and cried bitterly: "These bastards... Mongolian dogs... I'm damned... It's all my fault... Blame me..."
"Then you have confessed to your sin of abandoning the city and fleeing?" , once saw Xiao Han look so sad. It's also a little unbearable.
Xiao Han was choked up and couldn't speak, just crying bitterly.
"Mr. Xiao. You... When you left the city, how many soldiers came out with you, and how many remained in the city? Peng Yue had the intention to excuse Xiao Han, so he asked on the side, he felt that it was impossible for Xiao Han to lead the team to flee collectively.
"I... When I rushed out of the city, all I was left was... I'm on my own...", Xiao Han heard the meaning of Peng Yue's question to himself, and knew that he had the intention to excuse himself. Then he explained in detail: "At that time, almost all the soldiers in the city were dead, the city was broken, and some people fled through the city gates. Everyone was afraid of the enemy, so I led some of my brothers to rush out, but... In the end, few of them rushed out of the city, and they all died in the battle..."
"When the people are afraid of the enemy, what about you, you are the commander, and you are afraid. You're running away, too? Zeng Mian asked sharply.
"I'm not afraid, I... I just don't want my brothers to die in vain...", Xiao Han hurriedly explained. "At that time, the Tartars had already invaded the city, and the defenders of the city had not much left, and some of them had fled. Many of the rest were wounded, but they were all warriors who held out to the end. I will not take them out of town again. They're really... They're all dead in the city..."
Zeng Mo wanted to say something, but was preempted by Peng Yue on the side: "Mr. Xiao." Take your clothes off! ”
When Xiao Han heard this, he was startled at first, and then seemed to understand something, and began to untie the armor on his periphery.
In the northwest, autumn is cold in Japan, and it's night, so even if you're wearing clothes, you can feel like you're cold. But Xiao Han still took off his clothes desperately.
When he took off his last coat, Peng Yue was a little stunned, and there were large and small knife wounds and arrow wounds from his neck down. Halfway through, the blood from the new wound clumped with the clothes. As soon as Xiao Han exerted his strength, his clothes were torn off with flesh and newly knotted scabs, and the blood was left along Xiao Han's rough skin.
Zeng Mo also clearly saw Xiao Han's bare upper body at this moment, and he was also shocked in his heart. There were new wounds and old wounds on it, and some of them were stacked on top of each other, and a thick layer of bruises was bulging. The largest wound stretched from **** to the neck, red and swollen and ugly, like a poisonous snake coiled on it. Some of the new wounds had not had time to be bandaged, but they were festering, and yellow water was dripping out.
"Xiao Han, who has been in the army for twenty-two years, is much longer than me! There have been more than a dozen big battles, and there are countless small battles, much more than me! Nine arrow wounds, six knife wounds, and I don't know how much this time has been added! Hero! Heroes who are famous! However, if you abandon the city and flee this time, I will no matter what... I can't forgive you, Daming needs brave and good generals, but it also needs soldiers who are not afraid of death! ”
"My lord, I know I deserve to die, but I didn't mean to die for it!" , Xiao Han's expression was solemn, with a righteous and awe-inspiring taste, "My lord, I'm just angry, I sent a few groups of people to Ganzhou to ask for help, but... But Qiu Luan, that dog thing just doesn't send troops! The artillery of our Liangzhou City has also been taken away by Qiu Luan in advance..."
But we held out for six days. It's that I'm useless and can't defend it anymore, but the soldiers in the city are really fighting to the death and haven't flinched! I can't let those brothers die in vain, I want to keep my life and come out to complain, and come out to let everyone know how our Liangzhou City was broken! I want to keep this life, burn some paper and incense for those dead brothers! There are so many brothers who are... To protect me out... I'm dying... If I don't come out alive to report a message, I'm sorry for them...", Xiao Han said, and then remembered the soldiers who sacrificed themselves to escort him out of the city, and couldn't help but cry with sadness.
"Lord Zeng, everything has a love word, Mr. Xiao is not afraid of the enemy and death, it is really for a reason. Moreover, he escaped after the city was broken, and he did not ignore the soldiers in the city, but also fought to the death with the Tartars...", Peng Yue listened to Xiao Han's words, and couldn't help but be greatly moved, and wanted to save Xiao Han from punishment.
"Lord Zeng, the reason why we punish the defenders who abandoned the city is that we hope that the soldiers will be able to defend the city with all their might, not to encourage the soldiers to either win or die. If General Xiao fought so bravely and was punished heavily, wouldn't he have to die if he couldn't win the battle in the future? This will chill the hearts of the soldiers..."
"Master Peng doesn't need to say any more, I was a damned person, if it weren't for the brothers to protect me, my life would have been gone, I'm sorry for those brothers who died in battle, I'm sorry... The people of the city... I just hope that the adults can punish Qiu Luan's dog thing, so that under the nine springs, the brothers can also look at each other...", Xiao Han said, and picked up a knife in the camp tent.
"Put it down!" , Zeng Mian stared at Xiao Han with a fierce voice, "Don't run here to be a hero!" Of course, you will be punished, but you are not allowed to do it privately here! ”
Although Zeng Mo said this, he didn't want to punish Xiao Han heavily. What Xiao Han said just now didn't move him, and Peng Yue's words also spoke to his heart. In addition, Xiao Han did have a reason, and he also valued Xiao Han a lot on weekdays, and he also knew that Xiao Han was a person, so he wanted to let him go.
"Xiao Han, although you... The city is not well defended, but I miss you... Brave in battle, and... If there is a reason, you will be exempted from the death penalty...", Zeng Mo sighed, "This deputy commander of Liangzhou, you don't want to do it, go to the barracks to get fifty military sticks, and be demoted to the Liangzhou garrison..."
"Lord Xie's grace not to kill...", Xiao Han kowtowed heavily on the ground, "I hope that my lord can severely punish Qiu Luan, the chief soldier of Gansu!" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, let's go down and lead the army first...", Zeng milled and waved his hand, turned his body around, but he couldn't hide a long sigh... (To be continued.) )
