Chapter 68: A Slaughter of the City
I heard the sound of cracking, and quickly turned to look, and saw that the stone figurines had completely cracked, and the surface of the stones fell off one by one, revealing the mighty black-armored warriors hidden deep inside.
"Click!"
A thunderclap suddenly sounded on the flat ground, and the giant stone figurines exploded violently, but the cracked stone did not fly around, but turned into powder in the air, slowly falling and piling up on the ground.
In the center of the pile of stone powder, a sturdy man with a beard and a military robe was kneeling and bowing to me.
I stood there, frowning and a little embarrassed.
The bearded man at the head said respectfully to me, "Please take the stage, general." ”
His voice was loud, like a thunderbolt, and it spread far away.
Behind him, the black-armored warriors shouted in unison, "Please take the stage." ”
Checkmate? I'm a tomb robber, how did I suddenly become a general? Could it be that pair of tiger talismans made them misunderstand me?
At this point, I could only reply with a hard head: "Good." ”
The soldiers hurriedly got up and retreated to make a way out of the gate.
I took a deep breath, tried to calm my mind, and walked forward with my legs raised.
The beard followed me closely, the sword at the waist and hips, and the wind was blowing step by step.
The moment I walked out of the door, I looked out and my eyes widened in disbelief at what I was seeing.
What appeared in front of me was no longer a dark underground palace, but an extremely wide plain. On the plain, there were densely packed with tiger and wolf divisions, with tens of thousands of people, all black armor and black battle flags.
The battle flag fluttered in the wind, embroidered with golden three-legged black, as if it was crying high.
Directly in front of the army was a formation of sword carts, followed by several rows of axemen, spearmen, and long knife soldiers, and on the flanks stood neatly black-armored cavalry. Behind them were archers, standard-bearers, war drums and drummers.
Behind the blackened soldiers, there was a high platform that stood majestically.
I was a little confused, and I didn't understand why I suddenly encountered such a bizarre scene.
Could it be that my brother and I have crossed over?
Bearded raised his hand next to me and made a "please" gesture to signal me to move on.
I was stunned and moved on.
Behind me, a tidal wave of soldiers poured out, guarding me at my right and left, and sending me into the formation.
Everywhere I passed, the black-armored warriors gave way to salute. Although I still have some apprehension in my heart, I feel very good, my mood is surging, and I feel that being born a man is like this.
The military discipline of this army should be very strict, and so many people did not make a sound, and they could almost hear a needle drop.
After walking for more than a kilometer, I finally came to the high platform, and saw the white marble staircase leading straight up, and there was a throne with delicate carvings at the top, which sounded very familiar to me.
The beard accompanied me to the high platform, looking down, all the scenes at a glance, not feeling the wind and the wind, only feeling the heroic sky.
In the direction I was facing was a hill with a city on it.
The city was broken, and the sky was full of black smoke.
After a short time, the black armor army pressed the prisoners in the city, the old and the young, women and children out of the four city gates, and concentrated them in the open field in front of the army.
I asked the beard next to me, "What are you doing here?" ”
The bearded beard said expressionlessly: "Uncivilized people, when they are slaughtered, please give the general an order." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately fell into an ice cellar, my whole body stiffened, and my back was cold.
There are so many people, including the elderly and children, and even more women who are powerless, these are all fresh lives, how can they be killed and killed?
"Why kill him?" I hurriedly asked.
The sentence I asked was in classical Chinese, which translates to mean, why kill them?
The beard did not answer me, but took a half step back, bowed to me, and said loudly: "Please give the general an order." ”
"No!"
The beard looked up at me with a stunned expression, as if he didn't believe that I would refuse to give the order to slaughter the city.
I stared at his glittering tiger eyes, and I didn't hide from it.
The sound of crying in the distance, carried by the wind, sent into my ears, made me feel a tingling in my heart.
Just as I was looking at each other awkwardly with my beard, someone below suddenly shouted: "The military advisor has arrived!" ”
The beard and I hurriedly shifted our eyes to look down, and saw an old man in a black civil uniform passing through the array of knives and guns, his steps hurriedly, and he went straight to the high platform.
When I saw the old man's face clearly, my brain exploded, and I almost fell off the high platform.
The old man's appearance was deep in my heart, so familiar that I couldn't be more familiar with it, and I could never forget it.
"Zhao Ye!"
I hurried to catch up, tears rolling in my eyes.
The beard also followed, and the horizontal sword stopped between me and Zhao Ye, glaring at Zhao Ye angrily: "Who are you waiting for?" ”
I was very angry and ordered Luo Huhu to withdraw his sword, but he ignored me and just glared at Zhao Ye.
A sword, separated between me and Zhao Ye, made me very annoyed, but there was no way.
Didn't someone report that Zhao Ye was a military advisor, why did this beard still have to stop him?
Zhao Ye didn't care, just stared at me, and said to me in a low voice: "Little Fifth Brother, killing without teaching is abuse!" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was struck by lightning, and suddenly I felt that what I saw in front of me, where I was, was all illusory.
I hurriedly raised my hand to touch the back, but I couldn't touch the little zongzi lying on my back.
It dawned on me that I was hallucinating, and that all that I had been experiencing was just an illusion.
Leng Yue said let's do the four evils separately, and such a grand scene finally led me to do the evil of "killing without teaching".
Seeing Zhao Ye's eyebrows so clear, my mood was extremely complicated.
At this time, the beard had already violently stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Ye, and reprimanded angrily: "The thief pretending to be a military advisor should be punished with capital punishment." ”
I looked at Zhao Ye, who had a meaningless look on his face, raised his hand and patted the shoulder of his beard, and said with great difficulty: "Order, slaughter the city!" ”
My voice was small, but it rose with the wind, getting louder and louder, echoing under the clouds in the air, and reaching everyone's ears clearly.
All the black-armored warriors below shouted "Order" in unison, while the old and young women and children cried and screamed.
I looked down and saw the swords fluttering, heads flying, blood splattering to the ground, converging into rivers of blood, staining the dirt red, and the armor and blades of the warriors.
I've only seen such bloody and violent scenes on TV, and I didn't feel it at the time. At this time, I experienced this scene in person, and I really couldn't bear to look at it anymore, I only felt that my heart was dripping blood, so I could only look away and stare at the surface of my feet.
Zhao Ye suddenly said to me: "Little Fifth Brother, cherish." ”
I looked up and found that Zhao Ye had disappeared, and the bearded man with a long sword in his hand was standing next to me, looking down.
It seems that Zhao Ye has never appeared from beginning to end.
Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder and lightning were thick, strong winds were blowing, and torrential rain poured down.
I felt like I was in a trance, the world was spinning, and I had a splitting headache.
Screams, screams, swords, wind and rain......
All sorts of sounds came together and reached my ears, making me feel as if my whole body was about to explode.
I don't know how long it took, but it was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.
It was as if I was deaf and could no longer hear anything.
Suddenly, I saw a beam of light appear at my feet, then I saw my flashlight, and I saw messy bones scattered around.
The white-haired dumplings fell from my back and fell heavily to the ground, twitching their hands and feet.
I felt as if I had just been soaked in water, covered in cold sweat.
I bent down to pick up the flashlight, looked around, and saw that the incense that Leng Yue had inserted into his bones was only half burned.
Slowly closing my eyes, my tears flowed uncontrollably.
I silently said in my heart: "Master Zhao, thank you!" ”
