Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 391 The golden cicada sheds its shell, and the gecko breaks its tail (II)
Like everyone else, Tang Tiande's gaze kept scanning back and forth over the corpses of those dead Tang disciples, and his old face was full of sadness and grief.
Although he had already expected it, when the facts were really in front of him, when he saw that these elites of the Tang Sect were really wiped out, the old man's heart still throbbed.
This is the foundation of the Tang Gate, over the years, it is with their existence that the Tang Gate can be invincible in Sichuan and Shu, making people talk about the tiger's color, even if they enter the Central Plains, the signboard of the Tang Gate is still enough to scare the people from all walks of life.
And now, the foundation of the Tang Sect has been completely destroyed, and those who don't die may not live for a few days before they will be tortured.
What made him feel even more sad was that he still bore great responsibility for all this, because it was precisely under his own guidance that they walked out of the north gate and into the encirclement of the official army.
Yes, in fact, when he decided on the strategy of this golden cicada shelling, he could already have imagined that such a result would occur.
The chief general of the imperial army, Emperor Sun Ning has always acted carefully, which can be inferred from the fact that he took down the entire Sichuan and Shu departments all the way like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. How could a guy like this make the mistake of opening the net and letting people escape?
But in the case of this army besieging three sides, it is true that only the north side can escape, and the escape secret passage prepared by the Tang Gate as a precaution is indeed a direct access to the mountain on the north side of the city.
Therefore, in order to bring this real Tang Sect elite out safely, he could only treat the other elite disciples as cicadas and geckos as the tails that were sacrificed......
"Taigong......" Tang Shouheng still hissed and asked, his eyes were already red.
When he went to the backyard before dusk at the behest of the princess, he was led by a group of people into such a tunnel that he had never heard of before, and then walked along the winding tunnel for a long time before stopping at the end of the road.
After that, he heard the fighting and screams outside.
Tang Shouheng thought that he was still in Jinguan City, maybe everyone was planning to suddenly emerge from a certain tunnel exit and take the official army by surprise.
But wait, wait, wait, but the outside was completely quiet, until he was impatient to wait, only to see someone open the mechanism in front of him, and when he came out again, he found that he had actually reached the mountain outside the city, and saw this tragic scene.
I don't know where I am, but others, especially Taigong, should know, how could he sit back and watch the children of the Tang Sect being killed, but only shrink in the dark?
Abandoning the city and fleeing out of helplessness, in order to save the last bit of the Tang Sect, forget it, but the people who died just now were all their own relatives, brothers and uncles......
Tang Shouheng really couldn't accept it, so at this time, he didn't care about any dignity or inferiority, what situation, and actually stepped in front of Tang Tiande in one step and stared at him deadly.
The surrounding people wanted to scold, but they were taken by its momentum, and it was difficult to speak for a while.
"Because that's the only way we have to live...... Have you ever seen a gecko? When its life is in danger, it will often break its tail without hesitation to attract its enemies to escape. That's what we do, they're our tails......"
After the old man sighed, he gave an explanation miserably, but the tone was not as firm as before.
Tang Shouheng obviously couldn't accept such a statement: "However, we can obviously let more people be with us......"
As he spoke, he looked around, and there were only twenty people who could come out of the secret passage with him, and there were ten times as many dead clansmen below.
Who's the tail?
Tang Tiande immediately understood what he meant, and said bitterly: "This is the price of wanting to survive in death, otherwise do you think we can leave safely?"
"If we really leave a few hundred people, not to mention the big target, the officers and soldiers in the city will also be aware of it, and then we will be blocked on all sides, and we will really have no chance at all. Only a few people can leave this place as soon as possible without the officers and soldiers noticing.
"Only when we live can the Tang Sect be immortalized and can we rise again. You are the hope of my Tangmen to make a comeback! ”
The old man said in a trembling voice, his gaze swept over Tang Shouheng, and then fell on the other children who were also full of grief and anger: "Remember today's hatred, this will become the biggest driving force for my Tang Sect to rise again."
"One day, my Tangmen can truly become the lord of Sichuan and Shu, and even the whole world!"
Everyone, including Tang Shouheng, gritted their teeth at this moment, clenched their fists, and secretly swore in their hearts that they must not let these clansmen die in vain, and he will definitely return this hatred to those enemies a hundred times in the future!
Seeing this, Tang Tiande finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that these people would be confused because of the death of their clansmen, and they were bent on turning back and fighting with the officials and soldiers.
At the same time, he was also worried that Tang Shouheng would ask a more acute question, so why didn't he take more people away?
A few hundred is not enough, but what about ten or twenty more?
In fact, Tang Tiande has already considered this question, and the answer is very simple and not worth it.
The real elites of the Tang Sect are these, they are either proficient in using poison and blending poison, or they are good at making all kinds of sharp and terrifying secret weapons, or they know all the martial arts in the sect......
As long as these people are brought out safely, then the Tang Sect will not die, and there will be a chance to re-establish it.
It took decades, and the Tang Gate was still the same Tang Gate.
But if you bring some other people who are not so important, the risk is naturally greater.
Once the news is leaked, it will attract more children to follow, and even reveal the existence of the entire secret passage, which is a fatal problem that must not occur.
Therefore, Tang Tiande chose to sacrifice everyone else and only took these twenty or so people away.
It's just that this thought can't be said explicitly, and it will only make everyone deviate from morality......
Seeing that everyone was silent, he perked up a little more and ordered, "Let's go." Before we are found in the city, and it is getting dark, get out of here......"
Saying that, he had already taken the lead in moving forward, and the other disciples also hurriedly followed, that is, Tang Shouheng, at this time, he could only accept the reality, and then follow the instructions.
The team began to move forward silently, but before they could take a few steps, something happened from the front.
Bang Bang Bang -
Crisp applause suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility of the mountain forest at night.
Just when everyone in the Tang Sect was moving and looking around, a little bit of fire continued to light up from the forests in front and back, and almost completely surrounded their group.
Then a slightly lazy female voice also sounded: "Old Lady Tang is really thoughtful, decisive and ruthless, and can actually use such a strategy of golden cicadas shedding their shells and geckos breaking their tails." I almost got you out. ”
