When a person begins to be disappointed, many of the actions he should have done will no longer spontaneously move.

When a person begins to despair, everything becomes irrelevant in the eyes of the person in despair.

If it is said that at the moment when the ghost mother devoured Magong Island, the main island of Penghu, Zhang Qi, who was lucky enough to escape, only began to be disappointed in the battle situation. Then when he really saw the gap between the two Great Song courts in the north and the south, and saw clearly the super huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, he completely fell into despair.

Today's so-called royal troops of the Northern Dynasties, when Zhang Qi saw how sharp those muskets, artillery and animal-powered ironclad warships were, he no longer had the fighting spirit.

Disappointment made him give up resistance, and despair made him choose to take his eighteen brothers to the only natural cave on Nantian Island after some observation, and roasted seabirds on fire, as if he had become nineteen hermits in the mountains.

If Zhang Qi hadn't been disappointed, it would have been entirely possible for him to order a counterattack with 2,000 remnants, at least not to let the landed Royal Sailors choose the front soldiers to dig trenches easily.

If Zhang Qi had not fallen into despair, he would have chosen to live the life of a hermit during the war. At least he could find a chance, even if he captured one or two of the Royal Marine's landing boats, or at least he himself would have a chance to escape back to Liuqiu Island.

If it's used as an excuse, it's not just a little bit of if.

If everything had come true, the world might have been very different.

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a p

After realizing that he could no longer reverse and confront the Northern Dynasty led by Liu Xing, Zhang Qi could only choose to be an inactive general in decadence and made a move of passive resistance......

Zhang Qi gave up resistance, which made it easy for Yao Zheng's soldiers to land, and a large camp was built at the foot of the mountain and down to the seashore that night.

When night fell and the seabirds returned to their nests, Yao Zheng landed on the island. As soon as he landed on the island, he saw that the remnants of King Kang's army on the mountain had all gone into the cave and gave up resistance. Yao Zheng immediately ordered the Xuanwei team to go and shouted at the defeated generals of the remnants of the Southern Dynasty on the mountain.

As soon as the Xuanwei team under the Political Propaganda Department of the Navy Division received the order, they did not immediately open their throats and shout, but first went to the Security Division to receive dozens of jars of wine and a lot of cooked meat and dry food.

After receiving the food, the Xuanwei team led the people and carried the food to the nearest place to the cave at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as the Xuanwei team stood firm, they immediately looked up in the direction of the cave, opened their throats and shouted loudly: "Brothers on the mountain, everyone is Han and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, why bother to be martyred for King Kang and those who submit to our court to avoid death, and there will be wine to drink and meat to eat immediately." ”

The shouts of the team flew into the ears of the soldiers in the cave, and immediately caused many people to be quietly agitated and began to whisper softly......

A recruit standing next to the team, after he finished shouting, also burst through the dantian and shouted with all his strength: "Do the brothers on the mountain have two Zhejiang children?" I am from Wuzhou, and I was a poor man before I became a soldier. But now, I get a military salary equivalent to a few dozen taels of silver every month, and I eat fragrant and spicy food every day. ”

The shouts of the Xuanwei soldiers from Zhejiang came into the cave, and several Zhejiang soldiers heard the shouts under the mountain, and several people looked at each other, their eyes were full of desire to survive, and they were full of yearning for a better life......

"Is there a brother from Jingdong Road on the mountain? I am a person from Qingzhou, Jingdong East Road, and I am waiting for the second pole. In my family, each person is now given fifteen acres of land, and an additional thirty acres of military fields. If there are two brothers on Zhejiang Road, hurry down the mountain and return to my court! A Shandong Xuanwei soldier listened to his partner shouting, and he also stepped forward and shouted in a loud voice.

After the shouts of the Shandong soldiers were heard by several soldiers in the cave who were also fellow villagers in Shandong, they couldn't help but miss the food in their hometown and yearn for those fields......

After the Xuanwei soldiers in Zhejiang and Shandong finished shouting, they stepped aside to drink to quench their thirst, and several soldiers stepped forward one after another.

Hebei, Henan, Huainan, Huaibei, soldiers from all sides shouted in unison, and the local voices constantly sent the changes in their hometowns and their personal changes into the ears of the remnants of King Kang of all parties in the cave.

Embattled, Zhang Qi heard the shouts at the foot of the mountain outside the cave, and he knew very well that it was the Northern Dynasty sailor who was using that kind of strategy.

The former overlord was so brave, but Chu Ge made him unable to fight again.

Zhang Qi is not Xiang Yu, and he doesn't want to be Xiang Yu. In his bones, he is actually just a chess piece who was expelled from the division and was secretly recruited back to the Lingbao faction by his mentor to entrust him with a big responsibility. It has nothing to do with him to dominate the world, and a lifetime of fame is meaningless to him.

So after hearing the gusting voices of the country, Zhang Qi said coldly: "If you want to eat well, dress well, and live the kind of good life that the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty said, you don't need to worry about me, just go down the mountain!" ”

"Commander, then you ......" The old sailor of Kong Ermao and Liangzhelu heard his words, looked at him and stopped talking.

He looked sideways at Kong Ermao, his face was expressionless, but his tone was extremely firm: "The Northern Dynasty is Liu Xing in charge, and the thief not only rules the world, but also unites all the sects of the Dao Sect into one heard." I am a disciple of Lingbao and will not give in to him. If you want to come down, go there. I and the Eighteen Dharma Generals would rather die than surrender, and the heart of sacrificing their lives to defend the Tao has been decided. ”

Hearing Zhang Qi say this, Kong Ermao mustered up the courage to persuade: "You are very clear about the system and the current situation, why do you insist on it so much?" In the world for decades, how can the way you defend be against the flying immortals of that day, and why are you so stubborn to make your brothers embarrassed? ”

Before Kong Ermao's words fell, an old soldier who had followed Zhang Qi for many years and his relatives also said: "Yes, Zhang Tongzhi, even if you die for your sect to defend the Dao, who in the world can know on this deserted island?" Your current cultivation is very strong, but the Lingbao Sect drove you out of the mountain gate back then, and I'm afraid it won't set up a tablet for you to help you soar! ”

"I don't want you to wait to talk about my master's affairs, if you want to be a pawn, you just have to go, who will talk to me more, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood." was persuaded by two close veterans one after another, but Zhang Qi's face suddenly sank, and he glared at the two veterans viciously and threw out such words.

"Commander, ruler, are you really willing to let me wait for surrender? No, before I got out of this cave, you and the eighteen masters cast a spell together and took our lives. A veteran ruffian with pointy ears and cheeks who had also been in the army for many years asked with a cunning face after seeing Zhang Qi's expression.

Seeing the man's expression and hearing those words again, Zhang Qi suddenly became furious and roared angrily: "Get out, if you want to be a pawn, let me get out quickly, you are not worthy of letting me and the Eighteen Dharma Generals make a move!" (To be continued.) )
