Chapter 1247: Zhuge saves the people
Sun Quan was right, and not long ago, Liu Bei had indeed come.
The people are kind, and when they hear that there are more than a thousand compatriots and refugees outside the city, how can they bear to see them killed.
"Let's not make a noise, quietly open the city to welcome them in for refuge!" Sun Quan smiled grimly.
To save their compatriots, of course, the people cannot refuse. So, the militia was busy, moving away the heavy objects blocking the gate, and when they opened the city gate, they slowly lowered the drawbridge.
Sun Quan stood at the front, holding the only torch in a circle, sending a signal.
After a while, I saw a person sneaking in, it was none other than Liu Bei, who was hooded on his head. When the militia saw that it was indeed the man who had arrived not long ago, they did not suspect him.
Liu Bei beckoned under the torch, and there was immediately a sound of clicking footsteps in the night.
It's close!
"Not compatriots, it's Romans, it's Romans!" The sharp-eyed militia was the first to notice the abnormality and exclaimed.
The militiamen of Daqin still had a degree of training, and the militia at the gate of the city hurriedly pushed the door and closed the city, shouting: "Withdraw quickly!" ”
Liu Bei and Sun Quan glanced at each other, and when they closed the city gate, they couldn't open it again. I saw Liu Bei rush forward with a single sword, and with a bang, he instantly killed the three militiamen on the left who were closed at the door. Sun Quan brandished his sword, and when he rushed to the right side, he also slashed three.
The city gates could not be closed, and a large number of Romans passed the guò drawbridge, and the drawbridge could not be pulled up.
For Liu Bei and Sun Quan's counter-killing, the militiamen were stunned, and then, blood rose. They were slaughtered by the Roman soldiers who arrived.
After a stick of incense, the whole city of Huiji County was on fire. The smoke in the moonlight rushed into the sky with teeth and claws. Shouts of killing, screams. Cries for help, the wanton laughter of the Romans after they succeeded, resounded throughout the city.
In front of the South City Gate, in the preparation room, Lu Xun rushed out, even when he was sleeping, he was fully armed. When he saw the fire rising from the north gate, his face changed greatly, "It's not good. Support the North Gate! ”
"Report ......, my lord, the north gate is lost, and a large number of Romans have rushed in!" At this time, a herald ran over.
Lu Xun's face changed again, the militia could fight against the Romans by relying on the benefits of the city, but now that Rome has come in, "Organize the people to retreat, death squads." Come with me! Lu Xun led a thousand-man death squad to support the northern city and resist the Romans, so that the 400,000 people in the city could retreat.
And at the West Gate. Zhou Yu made the same choice, he did not retreat, but led the death squad. Support the battle in the northern part of the city.
Half an hour later, half of the city fell.
The fire is bright. Zhou Yu and Lu Xun led the remaining thousand-man death squad to confront the Roman hoplites in the central square.
I saw these Roman soldiers. All of them were covered in blood, and I don't know how many people they killed.
In front of the Roman formation, Liu Bei shook one ear, Sun Quan shook his purple beard, and laughed: "Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, quickly surrender to the Roman Imperial Army, and ensure that you don't die!" ”
Zhou Yu lost his elegance, only full of anger, and said: "Sun Zhongmou, you actually defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, you thief." Your grandson's family has been in Jiangdong for generations, what face do you have to say goodbye to Jiangdong's fathers? ”
Lu Xun was heroic and reprimanded angrily: "Liu Xuande, I knew that you were a bastard from the time I was familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period. I didn't expect you, a traitor, to be so mad! ”
Sun Quan and Liu Bei were furious, and said with white eyes: "The bird's ambition is also known!" ”
"Phew!" Zhou Yu and Lu Xun also sang in unison.
At this time, Pompey arrived complacently and pointed out: "These are these two people, resisting my Roman imperial army?" "Since Liu Bei said that the royal army is referred to as the imperial army, there has never been a formally named Roman army, and I feel that it is a good name. And the Roman Emperor Severus also felt that it was a good name, the Imperial Army, which was conducive to him to gather the hearts of the army. Therefore, the Romans began to call themselves imperial troops.
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Your Excellency the dictator, these are these two people!" ”
Sun Quan was a little anxious, in his opinion, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun fought against Rome, obviously to protect their families and defend the country, but in fact, they should atone for their sins, so that after defeating the Romans, they would not suffer the suffering of exile from the primitive tribes. He hurriedly said to Zhou Yu: "My Grand Governor, surrender to the imperial army!" ”
Zhou Yu showed his blade, and at the same time showed his determination, "Han thief, from this moment on, I, Zhou Yu, have nothing to do with you!" ”
Sun Quan was annoyed, and said to Lu Xun again: "Second brother, listen to the eldest brother." Surrender to the imperial army, you can make a comeback, enjoy endless glory and wealth, and the money is dropped! ”
Lu Xun cut off his robe, threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, it should have been like this a long time ago!" ”
Sun Quan was very faceless, Liu Bei sneered, and said in his heart that you were also cut off, and said: "I can't tell these elm pimples clearly, kill!" ”
Pompey saw that the persuasion was unsuccessful, and waved his hand, "Kill!" ”
Fighting bloodily, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun did not take a step back. At this moment of national crisis, they will not do a single wrong thing, and they will fight to the end for the sake of the country and the nation.
Zhou Yu's silver armor has become red armor. And Lu Xun's black armor became purple. "Defend the family and the country!" As the compatriots around him continued to fall, the remaining people let out their last cry.
The Great Qin thousand-person death squad had only more than 100 people left, but they did not retreat.
Zhou Yu shouted: "Fight to the last moment, protect the people and retreat!" ”
The ground was full of corpses and blood that had gathered into a sea, and Liu Bei stood on the sea of blood and laughed: "I have already figured it out, don't think about leaving any of you." Those who fight against the imperial army must pay the price! He turned and nodded to Pompey, "Yes! ”
Pompey nodded with satisfaction, and felt that Liu Bei was a rare and trustworthy person among the Chinese people.
Sure enough, behind Zhou Yu and the others, a militia rushed in, about three or four thousand people. It was Zhong Limu who led the team, he saw the killing field in the square, and was full of admiration for Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, who were fighting to the death, fell to the ground, and shouted sadly: "Dadu, the enemy is ambushing outside the city gate, our army has suffered heavy losses, and the people have been driven back to the city by the Roman devils!" ”
"What!" Zhou Yu lost his mind for a moment.
"Chatter......." Liu Bei laughed and said in his heart: "I got this great achievement!" ”
Pompey stroked the brush on his helmet and laughed.
"The Grand Duke!" The desperate militiamen prayed. At this moment, Zhou Yu, who fought bloodily and devoted himself to the people, was once again recognized by Jiangdong's fathers.
Zhou Yu, who was called the Metropolitan Governor again, was not happy at all. Seeing that the Romans were going to kill the people, Zhou Yu waved his hand and shouted: "Retreat, enter the people's houses, and fight in the streets!" Your Majesty, you'll be here to save us soon! ”
"Your Majesty!" The desperate militia had hope again, and under the leadership of Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, they protected the people into their homes and began street fighting.
The people of Daqin bravely resisted the Roman invaders, and after the city was broken, the Romans were dragged into an even more tragic war. The streets and alleys throughout the city have become the battlefields of the Great Qin militia. These alleys, crisscrossed by cobwebs, are unfamiliar and have no idea where they lead.
The Great Qin militia took advantage of these alleys and killed many Romans.
The siege did not lose the Romans, but killed as many as five thousand in street battles.
However, the Romans raided at night and captured many of the people of Daqin in the area they are now occupied.
At dawn, an angry Pompey pushed 100,000 people into the square in the center of the city.
The people of Great Qin were angry and afraid.
100,000 people were piled up like sardines in the square, surrounded by a phalanx of 10,000 Roman heavy infantry, which was not easy to deal with, and they were able to kill these 100,000 people very quickly.
And Pompey will never allow the situation of Wu County to happen again, and the Romans, who have lost their ability to fight the jungle, will not be able to feed hundreds of thousands of Great Qin slaves. Therefore, Pompey made a decision to intimidate and avenge the rebels in the city, and he raised the sword of glory on the high platform of the square, and exclaimed: "Kill them all, and leave not one behind!" ”
Whew, when 10,000 heavy infantry raised their throwing guns at the same time, they brought the howling of the wind.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan were expressionless, and Rome had already shown the pleasure of killing. The Roman soldiers looked at Pompey, waiting for the moment when the saber fell.
100,000 people, the cry shook the sky, but not one of them went out to beg for mercy.
Zhuge Liang looked at the grief-stricken 100,000 compatriots, and he couldn't bear to look at it anymore. How can he sit back and watch a hundred thousand of his countrymen being slain, one hundred thousand today, and one hundred thousand tomorrow, and there are four hundred thousand people in this city.
When Pompey's sword swung down, Zhuge Liang rushed out, brandished a feather fan and shouted, "Slow! ”
Pompey saw that it was Zhuge Liang and was furious, "You are a little servant, you dare to run out and disrupt the execution!" ”
Liu Bei's face changed greatly, he knew Zhuge Liang, and said in his heart that the military advisor would definitely not run out lightly. So, Liu Bei also hurriedly ran out and said: "General, I am quite familiar with military strategy, many years ago, I defeated Emperor Hongwu several times, he must have something to say." Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang after speaking, and said in his heart: "No matter what the situation is, hurry up and make it round for me!" ”
"Oh?" Pompey held back his anger and said, "Zhuge Liang, what do you have to say?" If you are vexatious, beware of my Roman military law! ”
Zhuge Liang was surrounded by the Romans in the center, he didn't think of a way, just instinctively stood up just now. Behind his emaciated body were 100,000 people about to be slaughtered. Zhuge Liang's deep eyes looked into the distance, the feather fan in his hand shook slowly in front of his chest, he went all out for the first time, thinking of a solution, but time was running out.
As time passed, Pompey grew impatient. He knew in his heart that if there was any strategy for this, he would have said it a long time ago. Without saying a word, pretending to shake the fan, it is clear that he is delaying time. Pompey raised his sword again and shouted, "Grab Zhuge Liang and prepare to do it!" (To be continued......)
