On the city tower, Gao Jia's brows were tightly locked.
The rebels were slowly approaching, and not only was there no food or grass in the city, but there were not even arrows or wood. Morale has reached the bottom, and if it continues like this, there is only one result left, and that is a rout.
Seeing that the rebel army under the city tower began to gather again, and this time it was different from before, and the rebel army seemed to be going to move seriously.
Gao Jia felt a deep grievance in addition to worry at this time, he was a commander of the second grade, and his subordinates were regular Ming soldiers, and he was beaten by such a group of homeless people and cowered in the city and did not dare to go out.
Gao Jia pulled out the long knife on his waist, he spat out a mouthful of saliva on the ground hatefully, and said angrily: "Damn, Lao Tzu can't bear it anymore, it is death to shrink in this city where there is no grass, and it is also death to go out." Rather than starve to death, it is better to kill it with a heart. Immediately go and ask the general, and say that the enemy is attacking the city, and Gao Jia is willing to lead his troops out of the city to fight the enemy to the death!"
"General, General!" Before Gao Jia's personal guard could leave, a messenger ran up the tower.
"What's it called? Say it quickly, let it go if you have a fart!" Gao Jia was in a bad mood, and his words were inevitably full of gunpowder.
The messenger knelt down on one knee in front of Gao Jia and presented a letter with both hands: "Oh no, General, General Zhenguo is gone, and the two people who usually follow him are gone." This is the letter he left you. ”
"What?" Gao Jia took the letter from the messenger's hand, pulled out the letter inside, and quickly glanced at Gao Jia, who was furious. "Bastard, he dared to abandon the city and abscond? Such a big crime should be divided into five horses and punished by military justice!"
Gao Jia scolded angrily a few times, "Dog's day." "Bastard!" "Eggless soft goods, coward!"
After scolding, Gao Jia calmed down, after all, he is a person who is good at the army, but it is useless to scold at the moment, how to get through the current crisis is the most important thing.
Gao Jia took two deep breaths and said, "Come on, immediately send someone to call all the commanders of the whole army to the city tower." ”
"Yes!" the soldiers around Gao Jia immediately obeyed the order and left.
Downstairs in the city, the rebel army has gradually approached. The Ming soldiers on the city tower could only watch dryly, with no arrows, no wood, no fire oil, and no supplies to defend the city. Except to watch the rebels who didn't even have a ladder approach the tower with a large log, and then wait for them to break through the gate and enter.
On the castle tower, the heralds who were lined up by Gao Jia quickly gathered several commanders together.
The sound of "knocking knock" has begun to be made under the city tower, but fortunately the city gate is thick enough, otherwise I am afraid that the city gate has been broken at this time.
Gao Jia glanced at several commanders, shook the letter in his hand, suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here, tell you all bad news." Our general has abandoned the city and absconded, and before leaving, he handed over the command to me. ”
"Abandon ...... Abandon the city and abscond?" The commanders from the Beijing battalion, such as the Shenji Battalion, Yu Linwei, and Jin Wuwei, were suddenly stunned, and others didn't know a few of them, but they were very clear, where was the "Zhenguo General", and it was clearly the current emperor.
Several commanders immediately panicked, and Yu Linwei's commander shook his head and said, "No, General Zhenguo must not be allowed to act alone, I will go to him and protect him." ”
"Stop!" Gao Jia sighed in a deep voice: "It is a capital crime for the general of Zhenguo to abandon the city and abscond, and our current task is to defeat the enemy army and take this 100,000 army out of the city." You are still going to take someone to find the general of Zhenguo in Na Laoshzi, don't you also want to abandon the city and abscond as a deserter?"
"What kind of thing are you? It's just the commander of the small local guard commander, is it difficult for the people of Lao Tzu's Jingying Yulin Guard to listen to your orders?"
"Resist the order on the battlefield, and be beheaded for the crime!"
As soon as Gao Jia finished speaking, a sarcastic smile appeared on the face of Yu Linwei's commander, only to see a flash of white light, Gao Jia actually pulled out a long knife and cut off the neck of this Yu Linwei commander with lightning speed.
Blood spurted out from the neck of the Lin Wei Commander, like a pillar of blood.
Everyone was stunned, who was that? Commander of Yu Linwei, a dignified official in the camp. He was talking a moment ago, and now he is being killed?
"You...... You dare to kill the general, don't you want to live?" said Jin Wuwei's commander angrily and in shock, pointing at Gao Jia.
Gao Jia raised his head and glanced coldly at the brightly armored Jin Wuwei commander in front of him, and said lightly: "I have already said before that General Zhenguo has put the power of command into my hands, and there is a warrant from General Zhenguo as proof. He should be killed if he resists the order on the battlefield, what's the matter? You want to resist the order too?"
"I ...... You ......" Gao Jia's tone was flat, but the guards beside him silently pulled the knife out of the scabbard after hearing his words.
The scene was suddenly filled with murderous atmosphere, everyone was silent for a while, the sound of breaking the door under the city tower has become louder and louder, and the chaotic army that hit the city gate even shouted the trumpet: "Hey! hey!hey!"
Gao Jia said: "At present, there is no food and grass in the city, and the morale of the soldiers is low. Horizontal and vertical are all one death, rather than starving to death, it is better to die happily. Anyway, I'm not ready to live, and there is no one I can't kill right now. Now you only have two choices, one is to be killed by me, and the other is to fight to the death with the rabble of the rabble downstairs in a dignified manner, and death will not live up to the reputation of the Ming soldiers. ”
Gao Jia's words were straightforward and plain, and there was a strong sense of excitement in the overflowing murderous intent. A local commander immediately said: "Okay, I'll listen to General Gao, and fight to the death with the rebel army downstairs." ”
"Okay, fight to the death!" the rest of the commanders also shouted.
Gao Jia glanced at Jin Wuwei's commander, and he was the only one who hadn't said anything yet. Gao Jia's eyes flashed with a thick murderous intent, and the commander of Jin Wuwei glanced at the corpse of the commander of Yu Linwei on the ground, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, the battle will be the battle, the general will die in a hundred battles, and the strong man will return in ten years." It's a big deal to die on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, and the people in my Beijing camp are not cowards. ”
"Well, those who fought with me today are my brothers in life and death. After speaking, Gao Jia raised the long knife that was still dripping blood. He shouted loudly: "Send the order, everyone assemble at the city gate, open the city gate to meet the rebel army." Advance is death, and retreat is death. If we are lucky, we will fight a bloody road today, if we are unlucky, then our brothers and I can also walk together on the Huangquan Road, and we will not be alone!"
"Yes!" For a while, the soldiers who were already hungry and weak cheered up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and all the soldiers on the city tower withdrew to spread Gao Jia's orders, and soon the Ming soldiers quickly assembled at the city gate.
ps: I wish all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, so the poor tiger in the Mid-Autumn Festival is now alone in the Internet café because of the power outage at home. Last night, I stayed up all night to do the details of Henan's rebellion, as well as code words. I was able to go to bed at nine o'clock in the morning, and then I got up at one o'clock in the afternoon, washed up, ate, and started coding. Tiger will definitely complete the promise of ten more, and I hope to get great support from all readers.
