154 There is no shame in being afraid of death
Approaching the Tokugawa Iron Cannon in front of the rejection, a dozen figures suddenly came out, holding a round ball-shaped object in their hands, rounded their arms and threw them out!
With this throw, Luo Tianjie threw away all the grenade stocks that Luo Tianjie had scavenged from the Fusang Kingdom......
With the parabola stried, the back of the breastwork suddenly became a human purgatory.
At the same time, the horse-repellent piles and the trenches that were not too deep had been filled in by the Tokugawa Iron Gunneru Ashigaru, and even the forked rows of timber arranged on the breastwork had been removed without any hindrance.
Even many of the breastworks were neatly blasted out of the gaps by grenades.
The loud explosion took away the last of the resistance of the defenders of Edward's Town.
The officers and soldiers of Edward Town, who were not guarded by grenades on both sides, threw down their weapons one by one and knelt down to surrender, or fled in confusion towards the town of Edward behind.
The Tokugawa Iron Cannon swarmed in, controlling the officers and soldiers of Edward Town who had abandoned their weapons and surrendered, while at the same time following the rout, some of them rushed into Edward Town, and some of them rushed towards the rice flag at the high point.
The old butler looked at the native soldiers armed with rapid-fire 'muskets', and rushed towards him as he advanced and killed the people who stood in the way, and his first thought was to kill Don Quixote, the current titular owner of Edward's town, who has the blood of the Edwardian family!
Because in the eyes of the old butler, Don Quixote is a family gentleman who does not seek progress.
Once he is captured by the enemy, Don Quixote will inevitably quickly defect, and use his position to help the invaders quickly stabilize Edward's town and break Edward's remaining will to resist.
Even if Edward's town was to share the hatred of the native invaders, it would need to have a strong enough leader.
The people of Edward's town know that this is the territory of the Edwards family, and they also recognize themselves as the lords of the Edwards family, once a member of the Edwards family stands up at this time and tells them to lay down their arms and not to make useless resistance, and let their deaths be worthless, who else will continue to fight this war that is sure to be lost?
These thoughts flashed through the old butler's mind in an instant, and he didn't know how to save this situation because he didn't know anything about military affairs, and even when he had the idea of killing Don Quixote, he actually decided in his heart that the defeat of Edward's town was decided.
All that remains is to do everything in their power to leave Edward's town in the flames of war, leaving nothing of value for the indigenous army.
Typical of what I can't keep, the selfish mentality that I'd rather destroy.
This kind of mentality can be regarded as one of the common disadvantages of human beings.
It's just that when the old butler turned around to look for Don Quixote, he found that not only did the family guards he personally selected run away, but Don Quixote's figure also disappeared......
"Where did Don Quixote go?!"
The old butler roared angrily at the people who had not left, and his face gradually became distorted.
Don Quixote's departure made the old butler understand that this family waste had been 'ready' for a long time!
Faced with the worst on the horizon, the old butler's sanity is rapidly fading......
At this moment, a series of gunshots suddenly came.
The old butler, accustomed to the effective range of the flintlock pistol, apparently subconsciously ignored the distance from the enemy......
The old butler's body shook, and he looked at the rich blood that bloomed on his chest, in addition to the pain, he felt that the strength in his body was also passing rapidly, and his body fell to the ground weakly.
At the last moment of his life, the old butler began to recall his past.
Then he was horrified to find that his memories had become a blank!
People who are about to die are completely meaningless to the virus, and naturally they will not do memory 'patches' again.
After a burst of strafing fire, there was no one around the rice flag who could stand up, and the Tokugawa iron cannon rushed forward.
These Tokugawa iron guns Ashigaru had been trying to avoid the possibility of hand-to-hand combat from beginning to end, and this was not Luo Tianjie's order, but his instinct, even in the face of a collapsed enemy, they were still doing it.
As a result, when the Tokugawa Iron Artillery broke through the defense of Edward's Town, the losses suffered were not as good as the short fire that had been fought before.
The victory was decided, but Luo Tianjie did not release control over the soldiers.
A group of Tokugawa iron guns, armed with ordinary iron cannons, followed by Edward's town, and the last to fill in was the orc infantry.
A handful of orc infantry and Spartan warriors stayed behind to guard Luo Tianjie's side.
At this time, the army is Luo Tianjie, and Luo Tianjie is the army!
Don Quixote, who ran to the town hall of Edward's town, stood on the balcony and watched the rice flag fall in the distance, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Then he turned around and glanced at the civil servants of the town government behind him: "If everyone wants to live, then they all have to obey my orders, understand?" ”
The officers in the town government were all on the front, including the lieutenant who had been with Melville before.
As a result, there are only a few civil servants in charge of government affairs left in the town government, and most of them are women.
Don Quixote didn't know that the adjutant had been killed on the spot in the previous short shot, but he didn't care either.
The lieutenant was only Melville's confidant, and his status in the Edward family was not even that of a loyal old butler.
So after Don Quixote and the old butler came to Edward's Town, they quickly took over the supreme power of Edward's Town with a warrant issued by the Edward's family.
The lieutenant cooperated with the orders of the Governor of Melville, and died on the battlefield......
Even if he doesn't die, Don Quixote doesn't worry that the other party can compete with him for power in this situation.
One is that the name of righteousness is in him, and even the name of the old butler is not as good as him, which is why the old butler wanted to kill Don Quixote in the first place when he was defeated.
The second is that Don Quixote believes that most people are as greedy for life and afraid of death as he is.
Don Quixote doesn't think it's a shameful thing, the British Empire is a country that eliminates suicide and respects life, isn't it normal to be afraid of death?
Even on the battlefield, the British cabinet government clearly stipulated that in the face of inevitable defeat, officers and soldiers were allowed to surrender to the enemy to save their lives.
This is a sign of respect for human rights!
Of course, there is still a modern version of chivalry in the British Empire that sacrifices for the country, but Don Quixote has always scoffed at the so-called chivalry, and even more disdainful of the aristocracy to lead the way.
In Don Quixote's eyes, he was finally reincarnated into a big family with aristocratic blood, shouldn't he value his life more?
After all, the quality of life of the aristocracy is completely different from that of the common people, and the life of the aristocracy is called enjoying life!
