Chapter 998: Stealing Life (4K)
The West Gate is the only exit from Los Angeles at this time, and the Southwest Army deployed outside the gate are all wide-eyed and ready for battle, Hou Ye said that no one can be let go, no matter who it is, but anyone who comes out of this gate will be killed.
Compared with the Southwest Army, which was waiting for the battle, Chen Shan, who was deployed, closed his eyes and said nothing, and the soldiers and horses that came out this time were brought out by him personally, as long as he gave an order, he didn't need to look at it to know the result.
Crying and shouting came from inside the city, the southwest army did not waver for a moment, and they only needed to carry out the orders of the Hou Ye.
"Master Hou, we have something to say!"
Chen Shan didn't move, and the crossbowman's gaze fell on the range in front of him from beginning to end.
No matter what is said, these people are going to die.
The crowd surged, and I faintly saw the people with torches coming this way, and the one at the front carried a rice jar in his hand to protect himself, and slowly approached here. A wild dog rushed out in the surging crowd.
The rain of arrows rained down, and in an instant it became a hedgehog.
No...... Can't go any further.
The ranks of the people stopped.
The people led by them pushed each other, and finally one of them stood up with a rice jar and stepped forward.
"Bang-" The rice jar shattered to the ground, and before he could care about anything, the man grabbed the only remaining pottery shard in his hand and shouted, "Murder!" It's murder! ”
"Whoosh!" The rain of arrows fell, and there was no doubt about it, the people who came out were already frightened, and at this time, they didn't care about running out, running frantically towards the crowd, but shouting loudly: "General Zhong was murdered, we all saw it!" ”
Everywhere they passed were rows of dangling crossbow arrows, and the crossbowmen did not stop, they only knew: all living things within range must be shot! This command will not die unless......
"Wait!" There was no sound, but the crossbowmen instinctively stopped.
Unless Hou Ye's order, now, Hou Ye has given the order.
……
Compared with the people who trembled to the west gate and the Huns who gathered men and horses to break through, there were few people in the city.
Three figures appeared in a storehouse in the middle of the city.
The tall and thin man looked at her puzzled: "Great Heavenly Master, are you sure about this firework?" ”
Wei Yaoqing nodded and looked around: "There are no houses around, not bad!" ”
The man smiled: "After all, fireworks and firecrackers or something, you still have to be careful." "He is a local fireworks and firecrackers in Los Angeles, and almost all of the fireworks and firecrackers in Los Angeles come from his shop.
"You're good, then." Wei Yaoqing smiled and took out the silver ticket from her arms and handed it over, "I bought this warehouse." ”
No one has trouble with money, the man said thank you and put it away, but when he left, he couldn't help but ask: "Great Heavenly Master, why are you buying so many fireworks?" ”
"No way." The girl stretched out her finger and pointed to the young man behind her and said, "He likes to watch fireworks, what can I do?" ”
That's right, he remembered that when someone threw gunpowder before, this person threw a firework into it, and was told by the Huns that he liked to watch fireworks! He sighed twice, and was a little envious: "Great Heavenly Master, you are too fond of him......"
If you want to see fireworks, buy fireworks from a warehouse and play with them? He inexplicably thought of what the storyteller in the city said about the "Beacon Fire Opera Princes", if this great heavenly master is a man, if he continues to be spoiled like this, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do this kind of thing.
But...... He glanced at the man's appearance, and said in his heart: This appearance really has that capital, no wonder the Great Heavenly Master is so favored.
sighed that he didn't have the ability to eat with his face, and he turned around and left.
After the man left, the girl went into the storeroom, and after a short time came out with a few bundles of fireworks.
Pei Zongzhi leaned over and looked at her curiously: "Are these really okay?" Flying higher and brighter than the one on me? ”
The girl dismantled a few and poured them out and looked at them for a while, and said, "Try it!" This place is not far from Linlu Pass, not far from my Dachu military camp, maybe you are panicking or you are full of food and have nothing to do, and you are looking at it with clairvoyance? As long as someone sees it, they will probably find out that Chen Shan has come to Los Angeles. ”
Pei Zongzhi snorted and asked again: "Then do you want to fly pigeons to pass the book?" ”
The movement in the girl's hand paused, looked at the tongue of fire running around the city gate, thought about it and said, "Forget it!" The fire is so big, I'm afraid that the flying pigeon will not come in, but the roast pigeon will be ......"
……
……
"Why murder?" The huge catapult slammed the West Gate several times larger, the exit was wider, and the rows of crossbowmen in close line appeared in everyone's view.
There was a southwest army out of the army to start filling the fire at the head of the city with yellow sand, and Chen Shan, who had deployed all this, had already walked in.
The people looked at him with a little distraction.
It turns out that this is Chen Shan! The older ones know that this person was once the famous god of war in Da Chu, who has survived the rebellion and made great achievements, and he is also the hero of the storyteller and diners in the teahouse and wine shop. But it's not easy to be a hero, and it's even harder to be a hero for a lifetime. Once the hero in the mouth of the people has become a traitor who fights for power and profit, of course, this traitor is unstoppable, and has laid down half of the Great Chu.
I imagined that such a fierce person should be the same fierce and vicious, but I didn't expect that this person I saw with my own eyes was not only rough as a martial artist, but a little elegant, and his voice was even gentle. Such a person, walking down the street, must not have thought that he would be a murderous person who ordered the slaughter of the city. But this is the case, they saw with their own eyes, if it wasn't for the Great Heavenly Master showing them a way out, they would have almost died in the fire of Los Angeles.
People can't look good, good and evil will never be written on people's faces, just like the previous Xiongnu Shan Yu, who was born delicate and good-looking, smiling all day long, but how many people's lives were stained in his hands?
"We have all seen it, in the blue sky and white day, those Huns chased General Zhong to kill ...... alone"
The Great Celestial Master said to say everything you see, don't be afraid! It is true that Chen Shanlai came to Los Angeles to slaughter the city, but compared to the slaughter of the city, the truth of the matter is more important! In particular, the death of the southwestern general surnamed Zhong is particularly important.
The southwestern army of the brigade entered the city, and the people with torches pointed in their hands, and people kept popping up.
"My family lives in the second ......room over there," in order to show the truth of what he said, the people who opened their mouths took off the key on their waists, opened the door of their houses on the spot, and took out the deed of the house, "That day, the southwest army walked to the gate of the city, and they were about to leave the city, and the Huns rushed over." ”
"There are a lot of Huns in ambush outside, that Shan Yu can speak Chinese, ran over and said that he wanted General Zhong to stay, the place where they spoke was in front of my house, we didn't dare to come out, we saw it through the window." The people pointed to a similar location, "Right here, they have been talking for a while......"
Chen Shan closed his eyes, the number of people and horses on the two roads plus the way the southwest army marched, this position is indeed almost the end of the line, this statement is credible.
"While the Huns were talking, they secretly drew their swords......"
"Yes, I saw this too." Several people jumped out and pointed to their quarters, "They turned their backs to General Zhong and secretly drew their knives, and we were almost frightened to death at that time, and blocked the door with a table, afraid that they would break in......"
It is not surprising that ordinary people react so much, they are afraid.
Chen Shandao: "Go on!" ”
"Later, I don't know who made the first move, and we didn't see it, but anyway, the fight started, and it was a mess at the time......"
"The Southwestern Army did not go through this gate, but went to the east gate......"
"We don't understand what Shan Yu, who can speak Chinese, said in Xiongnu dialect, we only saw their men chasing General Zhong and chopping ......"
"Is it only chasing him to kill alone?" Chen Shan asked.
Although the people's answers were chaotic, many of them nodded.
"At the beginning, we didn't realize that the southwest army fought fiercely with the Huns, and many people died......
"Later, I found out that it was a little strange, those people seemed to be chasing General Zhong alone, and almost all the others were fought by the Southwest Army on their own initiative......"
"The Lord of the Protectors...... That's what they're supposed to do. Chen Shan said, "It was so chaotic at that time, how can you be sure that the Huns did not take action against other southwest armies?" ”
"Because General Zhong told the deputy general to take people away quickly, don't waste his life, and then the remaining southwest army went to the east gate, and those Huns really didn't stop it. General Zhong was outnumbered, and killed many Huns by himself......"
Chen Shan suddenly spoke: "That's nature, Wu'er is brave and good at fighting, and it is absolutely incomparable to others!" ”
A large number of people followed the southwest army and unconsciously walked to the position in the city, and a few people stood up at this time.
"I live here."
"My family lives over there, and there are two of them."
"My family lives across the street."
……
They all live around here.
"Right here," the people said, "those Huns surrounded General Zhong and was cutting alone, he was covered in blood, and I saw that he had an unknown mechanism on his arm, and flew a very short arrow, and it grazed the Hun Shan Yu over there, and Shan Yu's face was scratched by the arrow." ”
"My son is an enemy of 10,000 people in the army, even if he is trapped here, he will never surrender!" Chen Shan's tone was a little arrogant, but more regretful.
The people were stunned for a moment: what he said was right, the Southwest Army was indeed very brave, but such a brave Southwest Army did not protect them for a day. They are brave and fighting for power, if it weren't for the treachery of the Huns, Chen Shan wouldn't have come tonight!
"That Shan Yu was very angry, took a bow and arrow, and shot that General Zhong." The people gestured, "At that time, he was standing in almost this place to do it, and General Zhong died on the spot. ”
"Yes, yes." Several people nodded their heads in agreement, "After General Zhong died, Shan Yu also took down the mechanism tied to General Zhong's hand, saying that it was very interesting or something, and then they took people back." ”
"The streets were full of corpses that day, and in the afternoon the Huns came and kicked the door of our house." The people pointed to the broken gate and said, "Let us dispose of the corpses and burn them on the spot, or we will be whipped with a whip." ”
"There was so much blood on the street, we couldn't wash it clean, and we were terrified."
……
Chen Shan obviously has no interest in the aftermath of the people, the ants steal life, these little people who no one can look down on survived, saw what happened, and at this time, in order to protect himself, he finally let him get everything right.
"Master Hou, then ...... them" Seeing Chen Shan, his subordinates turned around and looked at the trembling people and asked how to deal with this matter.
Chen Shan turned his head to look at the people.
It seems that he feels that his life and death are only in his thoughts, and the wailing and shouting among the people are even louder.
"General Zhong was murdered by the Huns!"
"Yes, it's murder!"
……
The Great Heavenly Master said that the murder of General Zhong was very important, as long as Chen Shan did not say that he would let them live, he must keep saying it, the more he talked, the greater his vitality.
They were originally unbelievers, but, you see...... Didn't Chen Shan enter the city? The Great Celestial Master said that as long as he entered the city, this life path would be half opened.
"Everyone is right, Wu'er was murdered." Chen Shan nodded, looked at the people who shouted "Hun murder", but did not follow the second half of the sentence. If the Huns wanted to kill the Han Chinese, why should they murder? They were so upright that they sent Zhong Li back without even covering up the scars of the scimitar on his body, because they didn't need to hide it at all. The murder is only on the people who need to cover up, the Huns don't need it, the Great Chu people ...... Nor is it required.
"How innocent are the people?" Chen Shan shook his head and said to his subordinates, "It has nothing to do with them!" ”
At this time, say they are innocent? The people are stunned, they don't have to die, shouldn't they be happy? But why can't you be happy? The person in front of him will condemn them to life and death, whether they are innocent or not, it just cares about his mood.
I heard that he wants to be the son of heaven? Can the Son of Heaven take a man's life in vain? I couldn't be happier at all.
"Boom-" Fireworks rose into the sky and exploded in the night sky.
It seems to be higher and brighter than ordinary fireworks.
Chen Shan looked back at the fireworks that continued to explode in the air, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" ”
"Master Hou, it's the small fireworks warehouse that has burned down." Someone came out and said helplessly, "These fireworks are ...... ......"He wiped his eyes with his sleeve, he really couldn't cry, what happened to this firework really has nothing to do with him, it's not his anyway."
Chen Shan glanced at him and withdrew his gaze.
There is no doubt about the murder, the people of this Los Angeles city are all witnesses, he thought it happened at night, but he didn't expect that the Huns were rampant to kill people during the day, did he really think that he would not go for this truth? It's really damning!
As for the remaining captured prisoners of war, as the Southwest Army led by him, he originally thought that those people took the initiative to abandon Zhong Li and flee for their lives in order to survive, so he secretly ordered them to return to Los Angeles to guard the gate at all costs.
At present, the Huns are attacking the city, and if they want to pass through that sea of fire, they will not be damaged, and more importantly, the Huns who rushed through that sea of fire are about to meet those prisoners of war, and he has already arranged crossbowmen, how many can finally escape from that rain of arrows?
Although he knew that Zhong Li took the initiative to let them escape, it was no different to him, but the soldiers and horses he brought out left the main general to flee for his life, what was the use of keeping them?
……
The fierce generals in the barracks who need to fight at the front also need the little people who stay behind the barracks, from the staff who sort out confidential documents, to the head soldiers who cook meals, and the miscellaneous soldiers who feed the horses and wash the horses.
"The kid surnamed Wei!" When a middle-aged scribe passed by, he saw the ambitious boy squatting next to the stable holding up a clairvoyant, and couldn't help but call him, "Where are you looking?" If you want to look forward, our men and horses are fighting with the Southwest Army in front! Who gave you clairvoyance? ”
The young man who was stopped looked frightened, and when he saw that it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "My sixth sister bought it", and by the way, handed him the clairvoyance in his hand, and excitedly pointed out: "There is a place for fireworks!" ”
