"The commander has an order, kill them all, and leave no prisoners!"

The heralds shuttled through the army of the broken city, shouting cruel military orders, and the Beiwu guards who poured into the city like a flood raised their steel swords and harvested human lives like dogs and sheep.

The more fierce the war, the bloodier, because there is no third way except for life and death, and there is no reason to talk about it.

The surviving warriors of the vanguard battalion lay on the ground against the walls, having completed their mission and had to hurry up to regain their strength, and then bury the bodies of their comrades as they continued their march with the army.

The battle is far from over, and every little more strength you regain now gives you more hope of surviving.

Mei Chuang was covered in blood, and lay under the city gate, with a knife on his waist and his eyes closed, and fell asleep in a chaotic shouting and killing.

The high-intensity battle and tense nerves made him almost unable to move a finger, and this tragic victory did not make him feel the slightest joy, but rather felt like a boulder pressing down on his heart.

For this battle, the forward battalion really paid too much price, almost all the soldiers who were good at fighting fell under the city gate, and each of them was the root and soul of the forward battalion.

A herald ran to Mei Chuang's side out of breath, recognizing him at a glance with a bloodied face.

"General Mei, you are here, so that it is easy to find a humble position."

"What's the matter with me?"

Mei Chuang raised her eyelids and asked.

"The commander has an order, the forward battalion death squad will return immediately, and the army is about to start."

"What did you say?"

Mei Chuang frowned, and sat up from the ground with a grunt.

"The commander has an order, the forward battalion death squad will return immediately, and the army is about to start!"

The herald raised his voice and repeated.

Mei Chuang jumped up from the ground like a spring, grabbed the herald's armor, and said angrily: "The army is about to be pulled, what about the sacrificial robe?" Do you want them to be in the wilderness? ”

The herald was startled, and said tremblingly: "I don't know the lowly position, but I just pass the order of the marshal......"

Mei Chuang gritted his teeth and said with anger: "You have to give me a little time to gather the corpses of my brothers, even if I can't bury them, burn them." ”

The herald shook his head again and again: "Big ...... The commander has an order that no fireworks shall be lit at Yushan Pass, which is against the ...... Violators...... Chop! ”

"What?!"

There is a tradition in the Wei army that soldiers who died bravely must be buried in the ground in order to obtain the glory they deserve, even if they are not allowed to be buried due to the urgency of the war, they must burn the corpses on the spot, so that the soul can be reincarnated.

Only after the defeat of the army, the soldiers have no support, will they become lonely ghosts after death, lose the opportunity to be reincarnated, and wander the world forever with shame.

Thinking of the hundreds of heroic souls who fell under the city gates, they shouted to their deaths, "There is no seed in the forward battalion!" After shedding the last drop of blood for the army, but in the end he had to suffer from no return, Mei Chuang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Do you know that they saved your dog's life, and now they actually cross the river and tear down the bridge, so that they will be violent corpses in the wilderness, and they will die without life, and they will be a lonely soul and a ghost in the next life?"

"Humble ...... I don't know if it's a handsome! ”

"Humph! How can this be true, we are bleeding and sweating in front, but it is difficult to prevent the shameless villain behind us! ”

Mei Chuang pushed away the herald, gritted his teeth and said: "Who in the Northern Wuwei doesn't know that the marshal is now obedient to Xu Ruiyan, this kind of vicious strategy must be the bad idea of that little bastard, Lao Tzu will go to him, and count the new hatred and old hatred together!" ”

After speaking, Mei Chuang picked up the steel knife and walked towards the Chinese army.

"General, General!"

The herald couldn't stop it, and his face was full of gloom.

At this time, the Chinese army was ready to move, Xu Rui yawned and planned to get into Cao Gonggong's carriage to sleep beautifully, where there was the softest silk cotton mattress in the entire Beiwuwei, and he had already salivated if he liked to enjoy it.

Xu Rui stayed up all night last night, and he didn't let go until he heard the news of the city breaking, his tense nerves were relaxed, and he immediately felt sleepy, and now was a good time to be lazy.

But as soon as he walked to Gonggong Cao's carriage, he heard a sudden commotion outside the camp gate.

"Xu Rui, get out of here!"

He turned his head to look, only to see Mei Chuang, who was covered in blood, carrying a bright steel knife, walking towards him murderously, several guards wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was all slashed to the ground with the back of the knife.

Xu Rui frowned, and just as he wanted to speak, Gonggong Cao had already poked his head out of the carriage first, and shouted: "Bold Mei Chuang!" How dare you break into the tent of the Chinese army with a knife, and you can't rebel? ”

Mei Chuang didn't look at Gonggong Cao, pointed his knife at Xu Rui's head, and said hatefully: "But you ordered the army to be pulled out immediately, so that the brothers would be in the wilderness?" ”

"Presumptuous, this prison army is talking to you, do you hear me? Come on, give him to me......"

Seeing that Mei Chuang was so rude, Gonggong Cao was immediately furious, and when he was about to have a seizure, Xu Rui hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook his head slightly.

Gonggong Cao snorted coldly: "The kid is you, there are not many people in the world who can help our family out, and you still don't appreciate it?" ”

Xu Rui hugged his fists and bowed: "Father-in-law loves Xu Rui and dare not forget, please stay for a while, can I share a few words with him first?" ”

Today, it only took one hour to conquer Yushan Pass, and one day he would be able to return to China safely, Cao Gonggong, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, was naturally very happy, and Xu Rui's eyes were full of love, and this face would naturally not be given.

"Since you intercede, then our family will spare him for the time being, but there are no rules, if he is shameless again, then don't blame our family law for not being merciful."

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Seeing that Xu Rui and Gonggong Cao sang and harmonized, not taking themselves seriously at all, Mei Chuang was even more furious, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the hilt of the knife turned white.

"But you ordered the army to march out at once, and let the brothers storm the wilderness?"

He gritted his back molars and asked again, word by word.

"Of course, the order was given by the commander, but the idea was mine."

Xu Rui's face did not change and said calmly.

Mei Chuang twitched, suppressed his anger and said: "Okay, let me ask you again, if my five hundred warriors fail to break through the city gate, are you also sure to break through the Yushan Pass quickly?" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "Yes, as long as you fall from the sky, the defenders of Yushan Pass will definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress, at that time they can't take care of the end of the tail, and the flaws in the city will definitely be exposed, and my army can take the opportunity to break the city, at most half an hour slower." So, for me, the moment you descend from the sky, the Rain Mountain Pass has been breached! ”

Mei Chuang's pupils shrank: "In this way, the five hundred warriors of my forward battalion are just an outcast of you to break through the Yushan Pass, yes or no?" ”

Xu Rui hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "Although I don't have the heart to abandon my son, it's okay for you to insist on understanding it like this." ”

Mei Chuang sneered: "Okay, just admit it, in order to break a small Yushan Pass, you did not hesitate to deliberately send me five hundred strong men to death, and what is even more hateful is that the warriors of my forward battalion are iron-clad and loyal to the country, but you deliberately make it difficult for them to die!"

Don't fight for this life today, Lao Tzu must also seek justice for them, and must not chill the hearts of the soldiers! ”

Mei Chuang lifted the steel knife and drank coldly.

Xu Rui raised his eyebrows and sneered.

"Justice? Do you deserve it too? ”

"What did you say?"

Mei Chuang was furious, raised the steel knife and wanted to slash, but the surrounding guards hurriedly hugged him when they saw this, and then reluctantly stopped.

This scene frightened Cao's father-in-law's face pale, but Xu Rui's face did not change, and he sneered again.

"What a General Mei, not only blaming others for his crimes, but now he still wants to kill people?"

"Fart, Lao Tzu is sitting upright, what is the crime? Do you think you can pass the test with two nonsense sentences? ”

Xu Rui suddenly burst out laughing, leaning forward and backward with laughter.

Mei Chuang's eyes froze, and his face became colder and colder.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Of course, I laugh at you for your big sin but you don't know it, and you dare to say that you are not ashamed of what kind of crime you have, it's just stupid!"

"You ......"

"What are you? Could it be that I, Xu Rui, brought the 50,000 troops of the Northern Wuwei to this place of death? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Chuang was suddenly stunned.

Xu Rui didn't give him a moment to breathe, and continued: "It was you mediocre officials who were incompetent, so you fell into the trap of the king of Wuling, and took these 50,000 soldiers to crash headlong into the heavy encirclement of the Southern Dynasty. ”

Mei Chuang was shocked, and immediately wanted to open her mouth to refute, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know where to start, so she had to stare at Xu Rui with a big mouth, looking so funny.

Xu Rui sneered: "Do you think I'm rarely exhausted here, a fox and a fake tiger?" Isn't it good to have some time to get some sleep? It's not like wiping your ass for you idiots! If it weren't for me, you would have atoned for your sins in the first battle of Yishui, and you would still be able to make a big deal out here?

Please use your brains and think about it, the army is a moment late, the more dangerous it is to be overtaken, and once the Black Flag Army catches up in the field during the march, how many people will be left of the 50,000 Northern Guards?

Also, today's blue sky, no wind in the four fields, once the fire is burned, the enemy can see the billowing smoke dozens of miles away, and then the idiots will know where our army is, what is the point of conquering Yushan Pass?

Do you want the blood of the soldiers to be shed in vain? ”

"I ......"

Mei Chuang was stunned for a long time before squeezing out a word from her throat, but she had no follow-up, and looked at Xu Rui like an idiot, not knowing what to say.

Xu Rui sighed: "General Mei, Ci is not in charge of the troops, you open your eyes and take a good look, there are 50,000 Northern Martial Guards around us, each of them is a fresh life, and no one is inferior to others."

But if you fight a war, you have to sacrifice, you have to die, I used the lives of 500 warriors of your forward battalion to save the life of these 50,000 troops, is it to save people or harm people?

As the commander of an army, if you really cherish your soldiers, then you should always stay sober and always exchange the smallest price for the greatest victory, otherwise it will be a waste of human life and hypocrisy! ”

After saying this, Xu Rui ignored him anymore and turned his head and got into Gonggong Cao's carriage.

Gonggong Cao's face has long returned to normal, since he came to Beiwuwei to be the prison army, he has not been less affected by the bird anger of those stinky soldiers, watching Xu Rui scolding Mei Chuang, his heart is naturally very happy.

"Boy, I didn't expect your eloquence to be so good, but it reminds our family of those reversible black and white imperial historians in the court, hehe, if you don't want to join the army in the future, go to the imperial history platform to get a job, I'm afraid you can also become famous."

Gonggong Cao patted Xu Rui's shoulder and said with a smile.

Xu Rui arched his hand towards Gonggong Cao, and the anger in his heart did not disappear.

He is not angry with Mei Chuang, although this guy is a little stupid, but he can risk his life to stand out for a soldier, and he is also a good general, and what really makes him angry is actually Yang Weiyuan and Liu Yi.

"I said that these two old foxes suddenly became diligent, and they went to be busy, and they didn't support me, I had long expected that Mei Chuang would come, and this is using me as a shield!"

Xu Rui muttered, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't sleep at all, jumped off the carriage of Gonggong Cao, and angrily went to find the two old foxes to theorize.

Gonggong Cao looked at Xu Rui's angry back and couldn't help laughing.

"Boy, you've had a day of being? Interesting, really interesting. ”

On the other side, Mei Chuang was stunned by Xu Rui's words, and his head was stunned for a long time, and when he came to his senses, Gonggong Cao's carriage had already driven away.

The soldiers who watched the excitement around him looked at him with a strange look, and several of the guards even had some obvious disdain.

Mei Chuang's face was red, and he had to admit that Xu Rui did have some truth in what he said, but he really didn't understand how he became a guilty person when he was fighting bloodily?

What a demon this kid is!

He was so angry and anxious that he slammed his fist into the ground.

"Why should the general be like this, that kid fox fake tiger might, the villain has the ambition, even if God doesn't accept him, there will always be someone who wants to accept him, I think he is like a grasshopper after the autumn, it won't be long before he jumps."

At this moment, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded beside Mei Chuang, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Han Baixing, a thousand households of the White Tiger Camp.

Han Baixing originally came to the Chinese army to do business, but he happened to see the scene of Mei Chuang being scolded by Xu Rui, and said in his heart that this was a godsend, and he just used the contradiction between the two to make a fuss, so he stepped forward to comfort him.

Who would have thought that Mei Chuang was angry, and his face suddenly changed when he heard this.

"Shut your dog's mouth, what if he dies and the army? I think that kid is right, it is just that you wait for this group of mediocre officials and bear generals to bring my 50,000 troops of the Northern Wuwei to death, and in the end, the soldiers of my forward battalion will use their lives to wipe your ass, hum! ”

Angrily reprimanding Han Baixing, most of the stuffiness in Mei Chuang's chest dissipated, raised his head, took a big stride, and walked towards the forward camp.

Han Baixing's face turned pale, his fists clenched, and his teeth creaked.
