Volume 1: The Battle of the Quartet Chapter 93: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
"Stomp, stomp. β
The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground echoed across the land, heavy and oppressive, like the scythe of death roaming the ground, and could be heard even from ten miles away.
One commander received an order.
"Stop!" he waved his hand, and the troops stopped advancing.
"Listen to the rebels in the city! I know that you are bewitched by thieves, and you have to take risks as a last resort, and the empire promises you, as long as you hand over the rebel leader Ye Cheng and surrender in Kaecheng, don't make useless resistance! The rebels in the city ......"
Under the city wall, the voice of the surrenderer sounded again and again, hovering on the city wall.
"Don't be so ruthless, even if you don't think about yourself, think about these people!" continued to shout the surrenderer.
I saw that in front of the iron horse, thousands of civilians kept kowtowing to the city gate, begging Ye Wu to go out of the city and surrender.
"The people of the city ......"
The man was about to continue his clichΓ©, but was stopped by a lieutenant beside him.
"Listen, people in the city, I will give you a day to consider, and tomorrow, if the city is not opened and surrendered, we will order the siege of the city! These people are our vanguard! Go!" said the adjutant, and with a wave of his hand, the army retreated, and stood at the end of the road down the tiger head prison.
Ye Wu put down the tools in his hand and came to the city wall, he swept his eyes, and in a moment, he saw that person.
The man's back is still listening, but it is different from the past, the back was a husband and a father, and the back is a soldier now.
In the evening, outside the military tent.
The three of them were sitting around the fire, warming the wine, the imperial capital at this time had already entered autumn, but compared with the harsh climate of Nanzhou City, it was still far from here, and a thin coat could solve the cold.
Mo ruthlessly touched the wine glass in his hand with Ye Wu's, and then drank it all.
"You've seen it too......" he let out a cloudy breath, his face looking tired.
The leaves have no face and are dignified.
"Hmm...... They all had black gas on their necks, and it was obvious that the old demon was viciously forcing him with his life. He said with a gloomy face.
Mo Wuyi slammed the wine glass to the ground.
"They are all unarmed civilians, if they really fight the vanguard, it will be difficult for us to ......"
Mo ruthlessly glanced at him fiercely.
"Otherwise, what can you do? Tomorrow's battle is a matter of life and death, and you can't show mercy. β
"But ......"
Mo Wuyi wanted to continue to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stopped by Mo Wuru.
"But what? I'm your brother, my eldest brother is like my father, and now that my father is gone, you have to listen to me, do you still want to rebel? Okay, go back to sleep, and talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow." Mo ruthlessly took out the brother shelf that he hadn't used for many years and scolded.
Mo Wuyi was suppressed by him, shook his head when the words came to his lips, and entered the house.
After seeing Mo Wuyi leave, Mo Wuyi sighed ruthlessly, he looked at the flickering bonfire in front of him, and his thoughts were full of thoughts, and finally, he spoke.
"Brother Ye, your things are almost ready. He asked.
"Hmm. Ye Wu nodded, "Why are you asking this?" β
"I didn't ...... Nothing...... It's tomorrow...... I have a bad feeling that I have sent someone to survey the mountain, and there is a path that leads to the top of the mountain, over the top of the mountain......" Mo ruthlessly bit the corner of the wine glass and said.
At this point, Ye Wu already understood his intentions.
"Tomorrow is the last day of the Seven-Day Covenant, and besides, as you have seen with those people this morning, there is a black oppression, and the number of men and women is almost a million, and if they attack it, we alone will not be able to hold it. Mo ruthlessly stated the facts.
Ye Wu was silent, because he couldn't deny this.
"What do you want to say?" he asked.
"I guess that the imperial capital is probably an empty city now, didn't you ask us to bring that unfinished mecha when you set out on the expedition? You and Miss Ling'er hurriedly took advantage of the night to build the mecha, and went to the palace from the back mountain, and quickly rushed to the palace to kill the old demon, as long as he died, the battle on our side would end immediately, and before that, we would delay time for you. Mo ruthlessly said what he thought.
Ye Wu didn't answer, he was hesitating.
"How long can you last?" he snapped.
Mo ruthlessly listened to this, and sipped his wine silently.
"Actually, we don't have to fight, we can leave the Tiger Head Prison along the back mountain overnight......" Ye Wu said, but he refused.
Ye Wu's face sank.
"Are you determined to be a hero?" he asked, looking at the other man.
The other party was silent.
Ye Wu took a deep breath.
"Yes, since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. As he spoke, he pulled out a four-wood box from his storage bag.
"This ......" Mo ruthlessly opened it and took a look, only to see that there were bullets inside, roughly counting, more than a thousand.
Ye Wu pointed to these boxes of ammunition.
"These are gunpowder obtained from the shells of the Shenwei cannon, and those technicians are temporarily asked to use instruments to build them, because the gunpowder of the Shenwei cannon is not pure enough, there may be a dumb fire. β
"Remember, you are generals, and the duty of a general is to sit in command. Ye Wu reminded cautiously.
Mo smiled ruthlessly.
"If I die here, I have to bother you to collect the body for me, brother, I don't want to storm the corpse wilderness...... By the way, it's better to write a book about the heroic deeds of our brothers, and then spread it out, and tell future generations how heroic we are, and don't tell her about it, just say that I was transferred to the frontier, and ......"
His tone was like a normal joke, but the content of his words really made Ye Wu unable to laugh.
Ye Wu waved his hand.
"Keep your heroic deeds to yourself......" he left.
Watching Ye Wu leave, Mo Wuru sighed.
"Hey...... Don't. With that, he did not enter the house, but went to the barracks.
"Report! All personnel have been assembled!Please instruct!" said one of them, saluting and whispering.
"Good ......" Mo nodded ruthlessly, he looked at this group of soldiers of different ages.
"You have also seen today's events, let me ask, are you afraid?" Mo ruthlessly said indifferently.
"Don't be afraid, from the moment we joined the army, we were ready to die. β
"yes!"
β......β
Seeing that this group of people was high-spirited, Mo ruthlessly showed appreciation.
"Very good, you are all good," he patted a soldier on the shoulder, and then changed his words, "I know that some people have sneaked in, and their actual age is not the standard for joining the army, if only I could have turned a blind eye to arrange you in the back row or the herald or the logistics supply soldier, but now it is different, you have to go." β
Mo ruthlessly glanced at everyone with that clever look.
"Eighteen years old in a row!" he said.
In the face of Mo Wuru's eyes, those dolls who didn't have any hair could withstand it, and hundreds of people stood up honestly.
Mo ruthlessly looked at these people and nodded with satisfaction.
"Stand behind me, from high to low, in a line. He said, gesturing behind him.
In the face of Mo's ruthless order, these people did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and stood in a neat line.
"If you're not married, give me a step forward!"
β......β
"Those who are married at the age of twenty-five and have no children are listed!"
β......β
"Twenty-five-year-olds are out of the ranks!"
β......β
"Those who have been married at the age of thirty-five, and those whose children have not yet reached the age of one are listed!"
β......β
In this way, after screening over and over again, the original team of hundreds of thousands of people was forcibly screened into 10,000 by him.
Mo ruthlessly looked at the people left in front of him, and suddenly, his eyebrows raised, and with a wave of his big hand, several people were pulled out of the team.
Mo ruthlessly grabbed a person's ears fiercely, looking at his immature face, he roared angrily: "Are you eighteen?
The man was ruthlessly pulled and screamed.
"Full ...... It's full. He nodded repeatedly.
"Get out. Mo ruthlessly kicked several of them in the ass, kicking them behind him.
Looking at those who were screened out, Mo Wuru took out the Nanzhou urgent book that he hadn't shown to Ye Wu before.
"I don't think you know yet, just the day before yesterday, Yan launched a fierce attack on Nanzhou City, although General Shi's side resisted stubbornly, but there were many people on the other side, the outer and middle rings of Nanzhou City were lost one after another, General Shi had to take the people back to the inner ring, Nanzhou City is our root, we can't lose it, your task is to support General Shi and them, remember, you are not deserters. He explained cautiously, for fear that these people would have a psychological burden.
Although he said that, the part of the people who left was still unsteady in their hearts.
"Yes, if we all die, won't there be anyone to tell future generations how brave we were on the battlefield at that time?
As soon as this sentence came out, some people laughed, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly eased a lot.
"I have enough money in my life, my children are eleven, twenty-three, and there is nothing to pursue. β
"Haha, you're only twelve or thirteen years old, my children are all married, and my grandchildren have run all over the ground, let me tell you about my grandson's ......"
β......β
Mo ruthlessly listened to the words of those people behind him, and then looked at the people in front of him.
"Do you hear that? When we get home, you're going to have to burn a manuscript for each of us, and it's going to write about how mighty we are, do you hear me clearly?"
The people in front of him had already cried into tears.
"Listen...... Hear me!" they shouted, wiping away tears from their eyes.
"Be louder, you haven't eaten! I remember that every time you eat, your group eats the most!" quipped, and the veteran laughed.
"I hear you!" they shouted.
Mo ruthlessly looked at everyone, nodded, sighed and said, "Okay, everyone turn right!
"Yes!" they replied, and followed the leader.
After Mo ruthlessly sighed, he walked briskly towards his tent.
