The officer's face flashed a trace of unbearability, but in the end he chose to carry out the order, he took a few people to ride a fast horse and immediately entered the house where only the old man was left, Liu Ran stood outside, riding a horse and looking at the house not far away, the emotions in his heart were also very complicated, as a person who was almost fifty years old, he knew very well what these old people were thinking, his homeland was difficult to leave, even him, if he was allowed to leave his hometown, he was unwilling, he would rather die on this land than leave.
Because this land carries too many memories for him, for him, it is not just a city, it is equivalent to the memory and meaning of their life, if they leave like this, then the meaning of their life will disappear like this, so Liu Ran can completely understand them, and as a doctor, giving such an order is also a torment for him, but he must give such an order, otherwise if the secret is leaked, then the Black Iron City will be exposed in front of the Holy Alliance, The dangers are self-evident.
Didn't Liu Ran know that it was extremely unlikely that these old men would betray them? What's more, they still have these young people in their hands, they are the future of the village, if these old people tell their situation to the Holy Alliance, Black Iron City will definitely know, they will definitely worry that Black Iron City will deliberately take revenge on their descendants, and make these young people angry, they don't know what kind of people Black Iron City is, since they were invaded by the Holy Alliance, they know the faces of these invaders very well.
Although Liu Ran's team is very good, but what is it, who can know, they are not natives of Yangcheng after all, and no one dares to trust them, so they must be afraid of Black Iron City, so there is a high probability that they will not say the specific body of Black Iron City, this point, Liu Ran also knows that to be able to achieve this position, he does not rely only on the identity of Skywalker, on the contrary, many people regard Skywalker as a group of martial artists, which is actually wrong, The IQ of most of them is very normal, even much smarter than many people, and they have been in the highest power center of Black Iron City since they were children, and for ordinary people, it is a story, but for them, it is staged every day, in such a bad environment, even if it is a little white, after decades, it has already been reborn, Liu Ran naturally cannot be a fool, so he knows very well that these old people will most likely not tell others.
But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Liu Ran really doesn't dare to gamble, no one can guarantee that these old people can stick to their beliefs, and they can't guarantee that these old people can endure torture, their bodies are already very weak, those punishments are enough to make their lives worse than death, in that environment, will they still be so firm in keeping secrets? Liu Ran didn't dare to believe it easily, and if the secret was leaked, the impact behind it would be really too great, so at this point, Liu Ran had to give such a cruel order, he looked at the houses in the distance, and the feelings in his heart were also very uncomfortable, after all, as a doctor, it was his duty to save lives and help the wounded, but now, he had to raise the butcher's knife to kill people, and it was a kind person who was killed, although it was in the interests of Black Iron City, but for Liu Ran personally, he was suffering a huge conscience condemnation at this time.
And at this moment, the officers who entered the house walked out not long after entering, mounted their horses and headed in the direction of Liu Ran, Liu Ran looked at the knives in their hands, there was not even a drop of blood, he didn't hear the gunshots just now, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this group of soldiers is still unwilling to start? He could not help but be a little annoyed in his heart, so he rode towards the officer, and when he came to him, he raised his whip and said, "How is the mission?" ”
He was about to take advantage of this opportunity to let out a breath to relieve the depression in his heart, but at this time, the officer glanced at Liu Ran, his eyes were full of complexity, and then said: "When we entered the house, the four old men had already broken themselves, all of them were hanged, and there was no survivor. ”
After saying this, the officer saluted Liu Ran, and lowered his head, and the soldiers behind him did the same, and one of the younger ones left tears directly, crying in a low voice, although the family affection between the people of Black Iron City is indifferent, but this does not mean that they do not desire family affection, the love between people is the natural feeling given to human beings by nature, and they naturally also crave such deep feelings of wooden calves, especially when they can't get it, even more so, and the soldier is obviously sad for these old people, I also feel deep admiration for the courage shown by these elderly people to protect their children.
At this time, Liu Ran never thought that these old people would be so resolute, they wanted to stay in this land, but they were afraid that it would endanger the future of their children and grandchildren, so they chose this way to reassure Liu Ran, looking at the broken thatched house in the distance, Liu Ran's heart was 100,000 heavy, he turned his horse's head, faced the room, and solemnly bowed his head and saluted, and the same was true of several soldiers behind him.
"The juniors will not live up to your efforts, these children, they will all grow up strongly, they will all have a bright future, and in the future, I will definitely send them back and let them return to their homeland, in the name of the thirty-ninth generation of the head of the Liu family, the sky is thick, and I will learn together."
Liu Ran said very solemnly, several private soldiers of the Liu family couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the head of the family say this, in the Black Iron City, the families attach great importance to their own name, so they rarely promise easily, and at this time, Liu Ran made a promise with the name of the family, if this cannot be done, then the Liu family will lose its prestige in the entire Black Iron City, there are more than twenty soldiers here, and the news will soon spread throughout the Black Iron City, but at this time they did not raise any objections.
In the next two hours, Shu Han's Skywalkers quickly harvested the population of the surrounding villages, most of the villages were the same as the villages captured by Liu Ran, most of the young women and children were willing to leave, while the old people were divided in half, some were willing to leave, some chose to stay, and most of them, after the people of Black Iron City left, chose to end their lives by self-destruction, and let themselves sleep under this homeland.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Black Iron City were all moved, and at the same time, they also felt admiration for the people of Yangcheng in their hearts, so angry to die, that kind of determination, is admired by the young people of Black Iron City, although they can't hold a knife, maybe even walking is already very difficult, but the posture they show at this moment is no less than a real hero.
Many people cried, and at the same time planted a good impression of Yangcheng in their hearts, the country of heroes always makes people reverent, originally the people of Black Iron City because of the mastery of musket technology, for Yangcheng is very much disdainful, always think that Yangcheng is just a chessboard, but at this moment, the ordinary people of Yangcheng have used their lives to tell Black Iron City, this city, this country, is not simple, and it must not be despised by all. 135 Chinese
When Shu Han heard this report, he didn't speak for a long time, and Zhang Ruoming on the side sighed deeply and said: "It's really old and strong, the pillars of the country, with these people, Yangcheng will not die, maybe our attitude towards Yangcheng should also be changed." ”
"I will report this matter to Marshal Liu Sanyi and Yang Wang Di City Lord, now our main task is to attack, order all troops to close immediately, our spies have found out the movements of the Holy Alliance, a force of two thousand people is rapidly approaching the villages in this area, we must be prepared before they come, order the soldiers to enter the first-level security state, and at the same time officially distribute the army, this is the first battle with the Holy Alliance, we must give them a head-on blow, and they must not be allowed to underestimate us."
Shu Han said very firmly, if it was in the past, he would not be able to see the elderly and children being bullied, and every time he saw it, he would be uncomfortable for a long time, let alone do it himself, but now, the cruel war has already made Shu Han's heart as strong as iron, and he was only sad for a short time, and then recovered immediately.
And the team hidden deep in the forest also officially began to unfold, around the ambush site began to deploy, and at this time on the other side of General Li did not know that he was about to usher in the greatest shame of his life, at this time, he with an army of 2,000 people was very proud to advance in the direction of his station, not yet knew that his station was already empty, and had already been emptied by the cavalry under Shu Han.
At this time, General Li was still immersed in the excitement of being about to achieve great achievements, and then being appreciated by Zheng Yuanche, so as to ascend to the sky in one fell swoop, and waited until he was about to walk to his own defense area, only then did he realize that the surroundings seemed to be too quiet, although since the Holy Alliance occupied this place, the surrounding villages were almost ravaged, and there was smoke everywhere, and the people were generally reluctant to go out, but now it was still afternoon, and it was not yet evening, these Yangcheng people, Anyway, it should be cultivated at this time.
Although there are only some women, the elderly and children left on the land of Yangcheng today, the people of the Holy Alliance are not merciful enough to take care of their feelings, even if there is no strong labor, but the use of these children by the Holy Alliance will not stop for a moment, it is completely used as strong labor, if you can't do farm work, you will be killed directly, this is the attitude of the Holy Alliance, so this is the time when these farmers start to work, no matter how you say it, there will be a little noise, and at this time, But they only heard the sound of the wind, and they couldn't hear any other sounds, and General Li obviously sensed that something was wrong.
He couldn't help but immediately let the scout troops go to investigate, and then his troops began to march slowly, and soon, he heard the news that many of the villages he occupied had already been empty, and his own soldiers were directly hanged on the door plates of the villages.
General Li's face showed anger, while several other generals showed a good look, they were not from the same city, but under the assignment of Blue Pigeon City, they came to Zheng Yuanche's door to obey the command, except for Zheng Yuanche's orders, almost no one obeyed anyone, originally they and General Li were at the same level, and now they suddenly wanted General Li to command them, and their hearts were unhappy, but because of Zheng Yuanche's face, they reluctantly complied, and at this moment they saw General Li deflated, Although they didn't say anything on their faces, they only looked like they were doing business, but in their hearts they really laughed at General Li.
And General Li naturally knew that these people were watching their jokes, and at this moment, a scout army suddenly ran in front of General Li and said: "General, three miles ahead, there is one, an enemy army is fighting against the troops stationed there!" The soldier panted, and he was the only one who came back from the entire scout force of five people, apparently under attack.
General Li immediately asked, "Do you know how many of them there are?" ”
The scout immediately said, "Three or four hundred men, half of whom are cavalry, they have a large number of firearms, general, please send troops at once, or my comrades in the village will probably have to give an account." The scout said angrily, his brothers, who were killed directly from a distance by the other party, had no time to react at all, thinking of this, he had a deep fear under his anger.
Hearing that the other party only had three or four hundred people, General Li's eyes couldn't help but light up, but there were more than two thousand troops in his hands, he couldn't help but say to the rest of the people beside him: "The enemy army is alone in the depths, and now it is trapped in the village by our army, I will attack at this moment, and it will definitely be crushed with one blow, I don't know what you think." ”
Everyone's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of disdain, this was obviously surrounded by enemies, at this moment in the mouth of this person surnamed Li, it became his own deliberate, it was shameless, but everyone couldn't help but be moved by General Li's proposal, the number of enemies is not much, if it can be eliminated directly, this is undoubtedly good news, enough to make Zheng Yuanche happy, this is only good for them, there is no harm, besides, they don't want to be mixed in this kind of countryside all the time, there is nothing here, there is no wine, There are no beauties, where can they compare to the military camp on Zheng Yuanche's side, beauties, fine wine, you can enjoy day and night, thinking of this, they all nodded in agreement, only one of them said: "Generals, I think it's better to be conservative, the other side only has more than 300 people, which is not enough evidence, we only need to send 1,000 people to attack, which is enough to completely cut off the enemy, there is no need to mobilize the army, and the scale of dispatching 2,000 people, when the time comes, these 1,000 people can completely stay in the rear to prevent changes." ”
