Finally, after nearly ten minutes of ideological struggle, Li Zicheng and others made a decision.

"Someone on our side has to make sacrifices, or they won't trust us..."

After discussion, Li Zicheng said to Zhao Yong and others:

"Someone has to stand up and go with them to stop the bullets, or they won't believe us no matter what conditions we make."

"This..."

Zhao Yong was a little hesitant when he heard this, and he also had a little headache, because it was not suitable for any of them to come, after all, the family was full of old and young people, and if they left like this, their families would definitely be driven out of the civilian area in the capital.

"I'll do it!"

Li Zicheng knew that they all had people in their family to take care of and all the benefits that came with their job, so he decided to stand up and make sacrifices himself.

"Don't worry, I'm a person... I've been alone since I was a child, and if it hadn't been for our squadron leader who adopted me, I might have starved to death in the wilderness..."

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Yong and the others to respond, he turned around and walked directly to the crowd and asked loudly:

"I can ignore the previous suspicions and take you out..."

"Really?"

When they heard this, they all raised their heads and looked at Li Zicheng with incredulous eyes.

"However, our plans require sacrifices from some of you..."

“...”

The crowd was silent for a while, and then someone said:

"How can we trust you to get us out safely?"

"It's, it's..."

The others listened to what the man had said, and they echoed it.

"We were just about to unload your arms, and the devil knows if you want to take revenge on us!"

"yes, and why should we be cannon fodder, not you?"

At this time, doubts were once again heard in the crowd.

Li Zicheng saw that they didn't believe it and were a little unwilling to be cannon fodder, so he put forward conditions:

"Give me peace, the condition given by our side is that some of you are willing to rush out to block the bullets, and after we go out, we can arrange your family to work in the capital..."

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, some people began to discuss in whispers:

"It's... This condition... At least it can give my son who is not angry, a little hope of survival..."

"yes... They're soldiers, and they might actually be able to get some of us out safely..."

"I don't really want to do it... How many years have I been alone..."

Seeing that they were almost discussed, Li Zicheng continued:

"Those of you who are willing to make sacrifices, I will rush with you to the front to block the bullets..."

"Okay, I'm willing to be cannon fodder, but you must fulfill your promise and arrange for my family to work in the capital."

A middle-aged uncle who was nearly fifty years old stood up tremblingly.

"Me too..."

"Me too..."

Then more people came forward, all for the sake of their families, because they knew that they could only die if they stayed here, and most of them came out to do this dangerous transportation work for their families.

If Li Zicheng and the others can really go out, then they feel that it is worth it when they die, after all, if they can be arranged to work in the capital, it means that they can also be arranged to live in the capital, and have a residence permit in the capital, but many people want to get it.

The main reason is that the security index of the capital is higher than that of any other city, and the educational facilities in the city are complete, and there are also bars and gymnasiums.

It is surrounded by a high wall, which can withstand the attacks of any dangerous people.

However, because of the limited area in the city, it was generally sold only to the wealthy, and to soldiers of government forces, and to civilians working in the city. This also makes it difficult to find a residence permit in the capital.

Li Zicheng counted the number of people, plus his total of twenty people, and asked them to report the names of their families and the addresses where they live now, so that they could send them job invitations after they went out.

He told everyone about their plans in detail.

The plan is that these people who are willing to block bullets rush to the front, and Zhao Yong and others will use their cover to solve them from the side.

"We've tried this plan before, but their guns are faster than yours, can you?"

Someone questioned.

"Don't question a group of well-trained soldiers, besides, a group of soldiers who have experienced the battlefields of the late North and South!"

Zhao Yong responded quite confidently, because he believed that he could solve the other party before he pulled the trigger.

Li Zicheng motioned for everyone to be quiet and continued to listen to him:

"When I was brought in by them before, I noticed that there were no guards outside this cell, and didn't I ask you how many people there would be every time the robbers came, didn't you say that there were only five people? So, even if they have guns, we have a numerical advantage, and besides, we have eight well-trained soldiers..."

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he went back and forth to explain the plan completely.

And now the cannon fodder has been arranged, the plan has been made, and everyone has heard very clearly how to do it.

So, now just wait until the time is up, wait until twelve o'clock at noon.

Li Zicheng found a place with a pillar to lean on and sat down, habitually touched his pocket, and found that the cigarette had already been taken away by the gang of robbers during the search.

When Zhao Yong saw that Li Zicheng was worried about his addiction to smoking, he took out a cigarette from a crack in the sleeve of his military uniform, which was so wrinkled that even the tobacco leaves were about to fall, and after he took it out, he turned his head and handed it to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng took the cigarette and was taking out the lighter, when he found that the lighter on his body was gone.

When he was about to return the cigarette to Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong took out a box of matches from nowhere and handed it to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng asked with a little surprise:

"Wow, where are you from? You can really hide it! ”

"Alas, don't ask more, it's not forced out by the security department of the army..."

Zhao Yong smiled and replied as if jokingly.

"What? I thought that only my garrison troops could not bring cigarettes into the barracks, so it turned out that you subordinates of Commander Hua couldn't either? ”

Li Zicheng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then handed it to Zhao Yong and continued to chat with Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong took the cigarette butt and explained to Li Zicheng:

"Brother Li, I don't dare to say that I am Commander Hua's soldiers, if I am Commander Hua's soldiers, I don't need to go to the border to garrison..."

The military hierarchy system in the south is quite strict, and no officer can skip the rank of management, this is to prevent some officers from leading troops to become monks and establish warlords themselves.

Therefore, in addition to being able to order his own escort of fifty people, the commander could only order the division commander who was one level lower than him.

When Li Zicheng and Zhao Yong were chatting, they saw the nineteen people who were going to be cannon fodder with him, and they kept staring at them.

Still, to be exact, staring at the cigarette in his hand.

Li Zicheng seemed to understand something, walked over and handed them the cigarette, didn't say anything, and went back to the pillar and sat down.

The men took the cigarettes and smoked them one by one, until they had sucked the fire until it was extinguished.

In fact, they now regret a little in their hearts, not that they agreed to be cannon fodder, but that they regretted robbing the clothes of Li Zicheng and others, and threatened to unload their arms to open meat.

Instead of forcing them to block the bullets, they put forward conditions and let them choose for themselves.

Li Zicheng leaned on the pillar, very calm on the surface, but in fact, he regretted making this decision a little in his heart, and he still had the task of exploring "Plan A" is only one of them, the most important thing is that he doesn't want to die yet!

However, since it has been decided, Li Zicheng will not regret it. After all, "being a man of your word and being trustworthy" is Li Zicheng's principle, and it is also what the squadron leader who adopted him has warned him since he was a child.

Zhao Yong saw that Li Zicheng had been leaning against the pillar in a daze, so he asked:

"Brother Li, don't you have anything you want me to bring back to Squadron Tan?"

Li Zicheng paused, thought for a while before speaking:

"What is there to say to him, he has already sent me to the northern country as a spy, which means that he doesn't care about my life or death at all, otherwise how would he send me on such a dangerous mission..."

"Uh... However, after you go out, you have to convey a message to Commander Hua for me, saying that I have died in the line of duty and can no longer complete the mission..."

Zhao Yong just nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything.

After a while, the person standing by the cell door ran back and told Li Zicheng that someone was coming outside.

Li Zicheng also quickly let the nineteen people who were ready to block the bullets stand four or five meters away from the cell door.

Soon, the cell door opened with a "click", and five robbers with rifles in their hands walked in, and there was no one else behind them.

Li Zicheng stood at the front of the crowd and shouted:

"Rush!"

Twenty people rushed up like a surging tide, and when the five robbers saw this scene, they immediately dispersed and fired wildly at them, and for a time the blood flowed like a river.

At the same time, Zhao Yong and others, who were standing six or seven meters to the left and right of the crowd, also seized the opportunity of these few seconds.

They immediately stepped forward and rushed towards the five robbers, who were still shooting at Li Zicheng and them, and did not notice the approach of Zhao Yong and the others.

Zhao Yong and the others took advantage of these ten seconds to rush to the side of the five robbers and give them a fatal blow.

Zhao Yong kicked off the rifle in the hand of a robber with one kick, and then directly stepped on his neck.

Xiao Wu and the other soldiers quickly took out the other four robbers.

After solving the five robbers, Zhao Yong asked the others to get the guns on the ground, and he immediately rushed to the pile of lying corpses and found Li Zicheng.

"Hey, brother, brother... Wake up..."

Zhao Yong picked up Li Zicheng and shook his shoulders vigorously, almost crying loudly.

"Don't... Other... Don't shake... up"

Li Zicheng opened his mouth with difficulty, raised his hand and put it on Zhao Yong's shoulder, seeing that Zhao Yong did not continue to shake him, he continued:

"You... You guys... Quick, fast... Let's go..., don't... Don't, leave me alone..."

"No, we can't leave you... Let's go, hurry up... Get up. ”

Zhao Yong took off his coat to cover Li Zicheng's wounds, and then wanted to pick up Li Zicheng and leave together. However, Li Zicheng's weight was too heavy, and Zhao Yong couldn't hold it at all.

"No... No... Don't bother, hurry... Let's go..."

Li Zicheng saw that Zhao Yong wanted to take him with him, and dissuaded:

"Old... Brother, I... This is... Can't go... You're quick... Fast... Let's go..."

"yes, let's go!"

The three merchants also urged impatiently on the side:

"You see that those people have already run away, and if they don't leave, it's too late, he will definitely not survive after he is like this, what do you care about him?"

"Why don't you tell me again?"

Zhao Yong yelled at the three businessmen with impatient faces:

"If it weren't for Brother Li blocking us in front, do you think you would be able to get out of this door?"

"Let's go..."

Li Zicheng said with difficulty again, because he knew that if they didn't go out now, the gang of robbers would block this later, and it would be impossible to go out again.

After speaking, Li Zicheng fainted.

There was no way, Zhao Yong had no choice but to leave helplessly under the urging of those people.
