The villagers lined up in a row, and the Qi army drove behind.

The team advanced little by little, approaching the Qin'an city wall.

The villagers did not dare to stop, because behind them were the spears and broadswords of the enemy, and if they were a little behind, they would be killed by the enraged enemy.

The wax moon in the northwest is really cold.

The villagers hid in their homes, were captured by the barbarian generals and led by the soldiers, walked through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, some regretted not listening to the persuasion of the officials to take refuge in the city, and some collapsed in great fear.

There was silence on the walls of Qin'an.

The soldiers defending the city clenched their weapons.

The officials of the county government were annoyed: they should have been tougher a few days ago, whether these villagers wanted to or not, they should be brought back to the city for resettlement, and now they will not become hostages of the barbarian army!

The guards and officials of the city can still stabilize their mentality, but it is more difficult for those people to fight.

When the Qi army drove the villagers closer and closer, some people recognized the acquaintance and immediately broke down.

"Second grandfather!"

"Auntie."

"That's the seventh uncle in the village......"

More and more acquaintances were recognized, and there was an uproar on the city walls.

The soldiers guarding the city didn't know what to do, they were all waiting for Cheng Qing's order, but they didn't know that Cheng Qing was also fighting between heaven and man in his heart.

The closer the enemy gets, the more unfavorable it will be to Qin An.

Considering the villagers who were at the forefront, Qin An could not attack first.

This is somewhat similar, but not exactly, the situation in which Cheng Qing ordered the shooting of civilians during disaster relief and epidemic prevention in Wuhe County, Huainan.

At that time, Cheng Qing couldn't tell whether the civilians who attacked the defense line were the spies of the scarf thieves, and Wuhe County gathered many victims in Huainan, and Cheng Qing couldn't let the civilians suspected of being infected break down the anti-epidemic defense line she had worked so hard to establish.

When those people did not listen to the dissuasion, in order to avoid the deterioration of the situation, Cheng Qing decisively ordered to kill the civilians who took the lead.

This incident made her be swept away by the first emperor to the end, and she became a commoner without official or office.

Regardless of whether the first emperor later revived her, Cheng Qing never regretted his orders at that time.

But that time was different from the current one.

The civilians who stormed the epidemic prevention line were active, and the villagers who were driven away were passive.

The villagers did not want to destroy Qin'an's city defenses.

asked Cheng Qing to order to be shot, but she couldn't do it for a while.

Intellectually, Cheng Qing knew that hundreds of villagers could not be compared with a city behind her, and she had already ordered the villagers to take refuge in the city, these villagers were reluctant to enter the city by luck, and now they have become hostages of the Qi army, Cheng Qing does not have to be responsible for anyone's life!

And once she started this head, then Agoura was undoubtedly an encouragement, Qin An was captured by him like this, and Agoura would also use this trick in other cities.

Ignoring the lives of these hostages and defending as usual is Cheng Qing's best choice.

She understands everything.

Emotionally, she has a hard time making decisions.

Have you changed?

The lives of hundreds of villagers have become cheap in her eyes?

The mines buried outside the city were not completely triggered when the Qi army attacked the city last time, and as the villagers were driven close to the city by the Qi army, some villagers finally stepped on the mines.

The sound of explosions [smoke and rain, red dust] resumed.

This time, it was not the lives of the Qi army that were harvested, but several villagers who faced the shock wave.

Regarding the development of powerful new firearms, Meng Huai asked Cheng Qing to be cautious.

When this powerful firearm came out, it was like opening a dungeon where demons were imprisoned, and the original intention was to repel the barbarians and protect the people of Great Wei.

After all, firearms themselves cannot think, they are dead things, but people are alive and cunning.

Seeing that someone he knew was killed, a cry rang out on the city wall.

Opposite to the cry of the Qin'an city wall was Agoura's hearty laughter.

Agoura was very proud.

The firearms buried under the soil made Agoura lose his elite, and that was because he was defenseless!

With precautions, there are countermeasures.

Firearms buried in the soil cannot be moved, and the living creatures can be destroyed by driving them through!

Agoura didn't have to waste half a day catching the villagers who were hiding, he could use livestock to try out, and the most convenient option was the war horses of the Qi army.

But why did he sacrifice his own war horse to explore the way?

Agoura is to use the villagers of Wei to explore the way.

He was provoking Cheng Qing.

I want Cheng Qing to feel his previous grievances and heartache!

Agoura laughed, and the generals of the Qi army also laughed, and all the Qi troops laughed.

The laughter was very harsh.

On the city wall, it can be said that everyone is sad and angry.

"My lord—"

Hu Xiancheng spoke before Cheng Qing, "Don't blame the lower officials!" ”

Hu Xiancheng couldn't help it.

Among the villagers who were driven away by the Qi army were Hu Xiancheng's acquaintances.

The old peasants affected by the explosion had previously chased Hu Xiancheng to ask how to raise sheep, and Hu Xiancheng had forced himself to teach himself about animal husbandry and breeding knowledge in the direction of a technical official.

Old acquaintance!

Hu Xiancheng watched the other party being blown up, and he couldn't bear it.

It was because he couldn't bear it that Hu Xiancheng wanted to give these people a good time.

The soldiers defending the city did not kill the villagers, and after the barbarians broke through Qin'an, everyone could not escape death.

This order should not be given to Lord Cheng, Lord Cheng is still so young and should not bear these stigmaties, Hu Xiancheng decided to go on his own!

As soon as Hu Xiancheng spoke, Cheng Qing knew what he was going to do, and before she had time to stop it, there was a change and a change under the city wall.

A villager looked tremblingly in the direction of the city wall, listened to the laughter of the Qi army, and suddenly refused to go forward.

The Qi army behind him drove away with spears, and the sharp blade pierced the backs of the villagers, and they cursed in their mouths.

Not only did the villager not hide, but he slammed into the back with all his might.

Although he himself was poked a hole in the back, he also knocked down a Qi soldier.

There were still weapons left on the ground that had been blown up and killed by Qi soldiers, and the villagers wanted to pick up the weapons, so several Qi soldiers surrounded him and cut him.

He was stabbed several times, and he suddenly burst out of strength without knowing how, and shouted hoarsely:

"My lord, let go, let go of the arrows—Northwest boy, no, no!"

The men of the Northwest are not bad.

The villager roared before he died, and the villagers who were driven away were shocked.

Everyone was scared.

No one wants to die.

They should listen to Lord Cheng's persuasion and should go into the city.

Master Cheng is a good official.

Everyone is almost having a good life, and the damned barbarians are calling.

It's too late to say anything.

Why, then, should we harm a city?

Sooner or later, it's going to be dead.

A scene that made Qi Bing dumbfounded appeared, these Wei Guo villagers who were as fragile as lambs and trembling as they were refused to move forward.

The less timid ones close their eyes and wait for death.

The bolder ones turned back and drove them away.

It's ridiculous that a flock of defenseless lambs would fight with a ferocious Qi soldier.

But no one could laugh.

Including Agoura, who was proud just now.

The Wei people always refresh Agoura's cognition.

If these people are crazy, then what makes them crazy?

Agoura rode on horseback and looked up at the city wall, trying to find Cheng Qing's trace on the city wall.

On the city wall, Cheng Qing burst into tears.

She had to be worthy of the hostages outside the city who had killed themselves.

"Defend the city with all your might!"

"Throwing stones—"
