The sky was very gloomy, the north wind was howling and blowing through the head of Bazhou City, the handsome flag with the word "Tang" at the head of the city was hunting, and the city wall was collapsed by artillery, but the handsome flag still stood tall.

The gap in the city wall collapsed only two zhang square, the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the anti-army were blocked at the same time at the gap of two zhang wide, one side desperately attacked, one side desperately defended, accompanied by countless screams, the corpses in the middle of the gap also accumulated more and more, the thick blood on the ground was trampled by countless people, it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and me, the anti-army was fighting for their own lives, and the Beijing camp was fighting for their own military merits.

Tang Zihe stood under the handsome flag at the head of the city in a daze, her soul seemed to be out of her body, looking at the soldiers who were killing each other desperately under the city, and looking at the cannon muzzle that was still emitting gunsmoke in the distance, at this moment she was like ashes.

Success or failure is nothing, it turns out that he has the ability to defeat Bazhou in one fell swoop, but he has always kept his back hand, what to fight for the world, what to build an imperial map, in fact, it is just a big joke,...... After all, it is a man's world, she is just a small pebble that disturbs a pool of spring water, and after the ripples, there is no trace.

An old man carrying a sandbag hurried past her, and the sandbag on his shoulder accidentally hit her, causing her to stumble slightly.

The old man couldn't help but look back, looking at Tang Zihe's soulless body as if he only had a shell-like body left, the old man had tears in his eyes, threw down the sandbag and knelt down at her.

"Marshal Tang, the city is about to be broken, we all know what will happen to everyone after the officers and soldiers of Lu Dao enter the city, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are tied to you, the people of the city beg you to cheer up, cheer up!"

After saying that, the old man got up and picked up the sandbag and threw it at the collapsed gap. I didn't look back and continued to carry sandbags.

Muddy old tears dripped at Tang Zihe's feet, and her heart ached as if she had been hit by an arrow.

A sharp arrow came from outside the city, as fast as a meteor, this arrow was obviously sent by the Beijing Camp marksman, and the bright arrow pointed directly at Tang Zihe's face.

The guards behind him were shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and swung their backhand knives, and the arrows were knocked away.

The marksman outside the city didn't seem to give up, and pulling the string was another arrow, and the handsome flag fell in response.

There was a sudden silence among the soldiers fighting between the two sides in the city, and a moment later. The soldiers of the Beijing camp erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"Bazhou has been broken. The flag has fallen! The handsome flag has fallen! ”

The anti-army soldiers looked desperate, and everyone's faces showed a dead gray.

In this era of cold weapons, Shuai Qi is the heart of the army and faith!

Tang Zihe was still standing at the head of the city. The fallen banner was only five steps away from her. But she didn't move. She never took these five steps, and her faith had fallen before Shuai Qi fell.

A rickety figure staggered forward, albeit slowly. But firm.

In the stunned eyes of the soldiers on both sides, the handsome flag with the character "Tang" was picked up by him and replanted at the head of Bazhou City, and the huge black flag fluttered in the wind. This person is the old man surnamed Bazhou Qi, and his grandson was starved to death by the government.

"The handsome flag has not fallen!" Qi Lao burst into tears, and his eyes were full of pleading: "Soldiers of the righteous army, the handsome flag has not fallen, and the people of the whole city are still there, please drive the officers and soldiers out of the city and earn a way for the old and young in the city to live!" ”

"Marshal Tang......" Qi Lao knelt down facing Tang Zihe, and his head banged: "Marshal Tang!" Pull yourself together! The handsome flag is not ......"

Before he finished speaking, a cold arrow outside the city swished and shot through Qi Lao's neck, Qi Laoyuan's eyes widened, and his old body spasmed and twitched a few times.

Tang Zihe trembled all over, looking at Qi Lao, who was still holding his eyes open in a pool of blood, Tang Zihe hid his face and cried loudly.

"Who is doing evil? Qin Kan, is it you or me? Tang Zihe lay on the arrow battlements at the head of the city, roaring towards the army outside the city, and his despair was like a ghost.

…………

…………

The fierce battle continued, and one by one the lives passed away under the gaze of the commanders on both sides.

Qin Kan stood in the distance, watching the people at the head of the city desperately carrying sandbags to plug the gap in the city wall regardless of life and death, Qin Kan's heartache at this moment was as painful as Tang Zihe.

always thought that he was a savior, and always thought that he represented justice, but the performance of the people of Bazhou seemed to slap him hard.

Isn't the people's heart supposed to be on his side? Why did these people resist him without fear of death? What did he do wrong?

"Who is doing evil? Tang Zihe, is it you or me......" Qin Kan raised his head and closed his eyes, muttering to himself in pain.

He found that his pain at the moment was not much better than Liu Jin, who was Ling Chi.

"Come on...... Come. Qin Kan ordered in a trembling voice.

"The end will be." The commander of the Beijing camp made He Yong hold his fist in front of the horse.

"Gather the scribes in the army, urgently copy the letter to the people, send the archers to throw arrows into the city, and then send the loud cavalry to approach the city wall, and tell the people of the city that the court will never harm the people, His Majesty the emperor has issued a benevolent decree, and will never mention the old things of the thieves, Bazhou should be exempted from harsh government, and the people can be expected to come to ......"

He Yong looked at Qin Kan, who was pale, his lips pursed, and he hesitated: "Master Hou, the Bazhou city wall has opened a gap, and the city can be broken at a glance, is this move ...... Somewhat redundant? ”

Qin Kan stared at He Yong with murderous intent, and said loudly: "He Yong, listen to me!" Rejuvenate the king and not the minister, this is a righteous war! If you look at the performance of the people at the head of the city, if the army breaks through the city, the people flock to resist, and the soldiers have to raise their butcher's knives to the people, is this still called a righteous war? You taught me how to order my soldiers to kill the people? How to kill these old people, women, children and children? ”

"Master Hou, they are no longer people!"

"They are the people!!" Qin Kan shouted violently: "As long as they don't pick up weapons, they are the people, they are still the people under His Majesty, and our court soldiers are absolutely not allowed to touch a single hair of their hair!" This is Benhou's military order, and those who violate it will be beheaded immediately! Just go! ”

He Yong pursed his lips, and finally hugged his fists and gave the order.

Turning his gaze to the busy people in the city again, Qin Kan muttered bitterly: "Fight again...... Fight for the hearts of the people again! ”

…………

Qi Lao at the cost of her life, so that Tang Zihe is no longer a soulless shell, when she came back to her senses, the arrows at the head of the city flew all over the sky, the gap between the two armies under the city was still fighting desperately, five steps away, her handsome flag was still flying high, like a trapped beast that would never give in, arrogantly straightening her body, looking at the vicious wolves.

Looking at the mountains of corpses piled up in the gap in the city wall, Tang Zihe smiled miserably with tears.

"The soldiers let go of the gap, and the city is in formation! A thousand men came up from the top of the city, and threw sandbags, rolling logs, and stones into the gaps, and all the women, children, and children of the city moved to the inner city! ”

With Tang Zihe's order, all the anti-army soldiers and the busy people in the city were excited, and they instantly seemed to have found the backbone, and they carried out their own orders in an orderly manner according to Tang Zihe's order.

The rebels let go of the gap in vain, although they knew that there were more fierce killing formations waiting for them after breaking through the gap, but the soldiers of the Beijing camp were still happy, as long as they broke through the front killing formation, the first person to break the city was the credit of pouring the sky, and this credit could even last for several generations, enough to fight with their lives.

In the shouting of the landslide and the ground cracked, the soldiers of the Beijing camp rushed in from the gap with their swords, and just rushed into the city, what was waiting for them was a chaotic and orderly rain of knives and arrows, as well as sandbags, rolling logs and stones that were constantly thrown overhead, countless soldiers screamed and were killed by random knives or smashed to death by rolling logs and stones, and the number of casualties rose sharply, and no one dared to cross the deadly gap at the very end.

After all, the enemy was outnumbered, and it was difficult to defeat the four hands after all, and the untrained opposition army formed a position so vulnerable, and nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Beijing camp who rushed into the city were like tigers into the flock, unstoppable, and the anti-army was defeated and retreated.

"The rebels are down, let's come!" An old cloth-clothed man trembled and picked up his weapon and joined the battle group stiffly: "Only by driving the dog officers and soldiers out of the city can we have a way to live!" ”

With a shout, the elderly, women, children, and children consciously picked up their weapons from the ground, trembling slightly, but their expressions were extremely determined to walk towards the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

This is a tragic, never-before-seen siege battle, the army and the people seem to be confused, right and wrong seem to have been blurred, but life and death are clearly visible.

Tang Zihe cried heartbreakingly, knelt at the head of the city and kowtowed to the people who picked up weapons and fought for their lives, knocking on his forehead and bleeding profusely.

On the side of the moat outside the city, countless cavalrymen with banners galloped around the city on horseback, and shouted loudly: "The chief military officer has an order, when the city is broken, the people will not investigate the old grievances, regardless of the previous feuds, the court will never kill innocents, just ask you to restrain your horses from the precipice, do not attach to the rebels!" Your Majesty has a benevolent decree issued, Bazhou's harsh government is abolished, miscellaneous taxes are exempted, folks, don't be obsessed anymore! ”

A fist-sized stone was thrown at the knight, and a child of seven or eight years old spat hatefully at the castle and said, "Phew! We don't believe it! ”

Countless people carrying sandbags at the head of the city echoed angrily: "How many years has the Dog Court scourged Bazhou, how can we still believe you, even if the city is broken today, it is just a death, what are you afraid of!" ”

Many of the people simply did not speak, threw away their sandbags, picked up their bows and arrows and spears on the road at the head of the city, and shot them at the knights who were shouting outside the city.

In front of the Chinese army, the generals looked anxious and clenched their fists at Qin Kan.

"Master Hou, the city will be broken in an instant, and the fighter plane will be fleeting, please give the order!"

"Please give an order!"

Qin Kan roared in pain: "They are the people!" How could Ben Hou give an order? ”

Miao Kui, the supervising army, said loudly: "Master Hou, when they pick up their weapons, they are no longer ordinary people, but chaotic people!" The rebels should be killed! ”

Qin Kan's surroundings, both generals and sergeants, all knelt down.

"The rioters should be killed! Please give the order to break the city! ”

"Please give the order to break the city!"

Qin Kan trembled violently and sighed in pain.

Seeing Qin Kan's silent appearance, Miao Kui simply gave a military order on his behalf.

"Fire! Besiege! ”

Boom Boom!

The 100 Francos cannon let out an earth-shattering roar, and the gap that had just been plugged by the sandbag rolling log was ruthlessly blasted open again.

A tidal wave of soldiers from the Beijing camp poured into the gap.

Qin Kan staggered a few steps towards the city wall, staring at the devastated Bazhou city wall with gunsmoke all over the place, silent for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "I, Qin Kan, have been a man all my life and act up to the sky, and I don't bow down to the ground, why don't you believe me?" Why don't you believe me? ”
