Darren Hughes is a professor in the Department of Archaeology at the University of London, but he spends most of the year in Egypt because of the beauty of Egypt's ancient culture, and even the war has not diminished his love for this sandy land. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Of course, in addition to academic research, those exquisite and valuable ancient Egyptian artworks are also one of the main reasons why he can't bear to leave.

He didn't care about the war because he felt that the cowardly Egyptians could not resist the military attack of the British Empire, but it turned out that his idea was not wrong, and a week earlier, British Army General Seymour had indeed led British soldiers to victory in the glorious Cairo War.

But less than four days later, the recovering Egyptians not only recaptured Cairo, but also wiped out almost all the British troops left in Cairo. The trial of the British soldiers made Darren Hughes even more uneasy, and he did not know what these savage and backward Egyptians were going to do with the captured British soldiers. Worried, he followed the flow of people in Cairo to the banks of the Nile.

However, although the British have now become the most unpopular people in Cairo, the majesty that the whites have accumulated for a long time still ensures the personal safety of Darren Hughes, but the strange eyes of the Egyptians around him from time to time still make him uncomfortable. After finding a place where white people gathered and standing still, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and the expression on my face became relaxed. But wait until he turns around. After seeing the scene on the banks of the Nile, his brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of thought flashed on his face. There is a strong sense of foreboding in my heart.

As the longest river in the world. The Nile is 65 million years old. It is the green corridor of North Africa, which has nurtured tens of millions of people on both sides of the strait for thousands of years and gave birth to the splendid and historic kingdom of Egypt. Today, however, the atmosphere on the banks of the Nile outside Cairo has become a little eerie. The commercial docks are now empty because they used to be used for ships to dock, with only hands tied behind their backs and black bags on their heads. Captured soldiers, dressed in British Army uniforms, knelt in a modest line on the hard rock of the docks, while behind them were Egyptian soldiers with bayonets in their hands.

"Your Excellency. Are you almost there?" said Hussein Hassel, looking respectfully at the two men in front of him, dressed in black cloaks and painted with yellow-green oil paint on their faces, like ghosts.

"Well, let's get started!" paused. "Remember what I told you. If you don't have anything to do with it, you know the consequences. ”

"Yes, sir. Don't worry, the soldiers who executed are the soldiers I picked who have seen blood and fought with the British, and they will definitely be able to successfully complete the adult's explanation. Hussein Hassel's face turned pale, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Although he is no longer a gangster who is bullied in Cairo today, he has become one of the five division commanders in the Egyptian rescue. Command a well-trained army of more than 20,000, but in the face of the two in front of you and the same outfit of the fierce warriors standing behind them. Still dare not have the slightest mistake and neglect.

Because, he had seen too many Egyptian officers who had military power before, and wanted to plot against these people, but the next day they fell to the ground and died in an unknown situation. Therefore, he cherished his life and kept his duty, and he came to today's high position step by step. And now this terrifying task of slaughtering the British took it without hesitation.

"Lao Wang, this guy is very knowledgeable about current affairs, he is a talent, it is really a pity to kill him!" Huo Zhiguang looked at the back of Hussein Hassel, who turned around to give the order, and said after a deep groan.

"Well, that's what I said!" paused, "Why don't you spare this guy's life?" After all, we still need these guys to command in the next war in Egypt, and if we kill them all, it will be troublesome to cultivate them again!"

Listening to the words of his old friend, Huo Zhiguang nodded, after today, their actions in Egypt must be more cautious, so commanding operations still requires a large number of Egyptian officers, although this Hassel's military talent is not very good, but this guy's ability to do things is still very good, thinking of this, he turned his head and said: "Okay, as you just said, let's save this guy's life." But in addition to him, the other few said that they couldn't stay, and they were unwilling to let them carry out a mission, I think they thought they were long-lived!"

Listening to the murderous aura implied in Huo Zhiguang's words, Wang Cunshan nodded secretly, "Well, I agree with this." After a great victory, and having captured so many Englishmen, that they have proudly forgotten who their masters are, it is time for these careerists to sober up!"

While the two were talking, Hussein Hassel had already walked to the front of the group, and after glancing at the British soldier kneeling on the ground, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, "Ready to carry out the order!"

"Yes, sir!" the bannerman replied with a loud voice, turned to the front of the group, raised the red flag in his hand, and as he moved, the Egyptians standing behind the captured British soldiers all raised their rifles. Then, after seeing the eye-catching red flag 'whirring' down, he took the rifle in his hand and stabbed it fiercely with a bayonet at the location of the British soldier's back heart.

Suddenly, blood splattered, and the continuous screams made people feel as if they were in Shura Hell. And the rear crowd who saw this scene screamed in fright, many of them were even incontinent, if it weren't for the soldiers to maintain order, I am afraid they would have hugged their heads and scurried.

After all, the fear caused by the massacre of thousands of people in front of us is more likely to evoke deep fear in people's hearts than the death penalty seen in Cairo before.

"No, you can't do this, you are slaughtering, God, you devils, the Lord Almighty will not let you go!" After seeing this scene, a middle-aged pastor dressed in black, with a cross on his chest and a thick Bible in his hand, walked out of the crowd with a pale face, a look of horror and strong anger, and shouted loudly.

"You savage natives, you deserve to go to hell......!"

"Bastards, you are a naked massacre, and the British Empire will not let your ...... go!"

Apparently the heroic priest encouraged the courage of the whites in the crowd, who shouted at the Egyptian army that stood in their way, but the fear in their hearts did not keep them out of the crowd.

"These guys really don't know whether they are alive or dead, if you don't need to let them spread today's news in detail, otherwise let them try the edge of the bayonet too!" Huo Zhiguang said with murderous anger in his words.

Hearing this, looking at the rioting crowd in the distance, Wang Cunshan didn't say anything, after giving the order to kill all the British prisoners, his heart seemed to have undergone a cruel tempering, and nothing could shake his heart! At this time, he remembered a sentence in a poem that the young master hung in his study, "Killing one person is a crime, killing ten thousand people is a male, and killing a million people is the male of the male!"

Not to mention what the two of them were thinking now, the massacre on the dock was going on in an orderly manner, and as the corpses in front of them were pushed into the Nile, new British soldiers wearing black cloth bags and bound hands were soon escorted over, although they had a premonition of what they were about to face, begging for mercy, cursing, or crying, but all after the red flag waved, blood splattered five steps, and their heads were different.

As their bodies were also pushed into the Nile, the next group of soldiers was soon pressed up, and the whole process was like a never-ending assembly line, on which more than 200,000 British captured soldiers died.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Nile, which was originally sparkling and reflecting the setting sun, had now become a river of blood, and the bewitching red replaced the dim yellow water, mixed with the somewhat pale corpses that had been blistered by the river, and slowly flowed northward.

Looking at this hellish scene, the entire dock was silent, and more than half a million Cairo citizens pursed their lips tightly, looking at the soldiers in yellow military uniforms not far away, with a strong look of fear on their faces. At this moment, it was as if they were no longer Egyptians of the same clan and religion as them, but devils with hateful faces and vicious murderous appetites.

"I believe that after this massacre, no one in the Nile River will dare to eat the fish!" Looking at the Nile River, which had been stained red with blood in the distance, and even caused some trouble in the river due to the siltation of too many corpses, Wang Cunshan took a deep breath, and after making the look on his face a little more normal, he slowly opened his mouth and said with a hint of joke.

Nodding wordlessly, Huo Zhiguang's heart was also a little uncomfortable at the moment, although he had also broken out of the rain of bullets before, and he was used to seeing death and killing, but today he saw more than 200,000 people in Cairo because of his order, and his heart was still a little turbulent. However, he also understood that as a senior officer of the Huo family's army, this was what it had to do.

"Let's go, let's go back too, there are still many things waiting for us to do!" After speaking, Huo Zhiguang turned around, and the soldier with the dragon's tooth turned around and left the dock.

Finally, after glancing at the silent crowd in the distance, Wang Cunshan sighed lightly, shook his head, and turned around with his guards to follow. (To be continued.) )
