Chapter 257: Deathwill
Among the three Bao Daxing brothers, Bao Miyun and Bao Xuanwu had already died in battle, leaving a junior, if he was also executed, the Bao family was afraid that he would be doomed, and he knelt down in front of Zhao Lanjiang.
"Please General Zhao for extrajudicial mercy. ”
Although the people of the Western Army were not ashamed of what Bao Shunyi and the three of them did, after all, they were robes who fought side by side, and they had just survived from the hands of the Tuoba Niuren, so they knelt down and pleaded for mercy.
"At the moment of the great enemy, please open up the general's appearance and let Captain Bao make meritorious contributions!"
What these people say is the truth, but it is also a fact that the three people have plagued the people. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Lanjiang can be extrajudicial in this situation, but Zhao Lanjiang looked at the people of Yinyang, saw that their faces were full of righteous indignation, and he wanted to swallow the three of them alive.
Everyone is making decisions in Zhao Lanjiang.
Zhao Lanjiang quickly gave the answer.
"Everyone, we are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is our duty to kill the enemy and serve the country, and it is our original intention to protect the safety of the people. The law, Tianli, and Bao Shunyi, the captain of the Western Military Academy, violated military discipline and harmed the people in the city.
Now that strong enemies are around, the Northern Zhou army will break the city at any time. If you want to defend the city, you need to unite as one, all of you are united, the command points to, the long knife kills, if anyone is lucky, do something wrong, will not be tolerated!"
He commanded, "Deal with it according to military law!"
Bao Daxing shouted, "Zhao Lanjiang!"
In a hurry, he no longer bothered to call the general, but called him by his first name.
Bao Daxing was a little excited, and he said loudly, "Don't think that if you become the lord of Yinyang City, you can do whatever you want, they are the people of the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty, not your subordinates of Zhao Lanjiang." At this time, you talk about military law, okay, let me tell you about military law, when you contradicted your boss and left the Western Army without permission, if you were punished as a deserter according to military law, and beheaded according to the law, how could you not act according to military law?"
Zhao Lanjiang was actually stopped by him.
When he left the Western Army, he did leave without authorization, although there were several reasons, but this is the case, Bao Daxing was not wrong.
Bao Daxing said, "Please General Zhao first dispose of himself according to military law!"
Li Chengcheng stepped forward and came to Bao Daxing. Zhao Lanjiang was interrogated, whether he argued or not, it was not beneficial to him, but Li Chengcheng was different, he was not a soldier.
He said coldly, "He is Zhao Lanjiang, Zhao Lanjiang who killed Li Xiancheng, Zhao Lanjiang, the lord of Yinyang City, Zhao Lanjiang, who saved the lives of tens of thousands of people in your Western Army, even if you want to ask for the crime, it should be asked by Yuwen Tianlu, and it should be discussed by the Ming Army." General Bao, if you commit a crime, contradict your boss, and disobey orders, you are truly disobeying military law. ”
The implication is that Bao Daxing is not qualified to ask Zhao Lanjiang for guilt.
Bao Daxing actually finished speaking.
Although Li Xianzhong did not say anything, his eyes showed gratitude.
Since the conquest of the Western Army into the city, many officers and soldiers have committed crimes in the city, causing a lot of public resentment, and there is a sense of uneasiness among the army and the people, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, and when this dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, even if the city is not broken in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the internal chaos in Yinyang will arise first. As a third person, Li Tingcheng does not stand on any side, and saying this kind of thing really helps a lot.
Zhao Lanjiang said: "Now is a very moment, whether it is the Western Army, or the Yinyang Yicong, are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if the internal is not unified at this moment, I advise you to put down the long knife, open the door and offer the city, with the character of Tuoba Niuren, everywhere you go, slaughter the people, is this what you want to see?"
Everyone said in unison, "No!"
"The Governor of Yuwen will deploy the Western Army with me, and the Golden Sword King will hand over Yinyang City to me for protection, and Zhao Lanjiang should go all out to ensure the peace of Yinyang City, and the Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic in the western frontier!"
He came to Bao Shunyi and said, "The life of Tuoba Niuren is still handed over to me." You can go on the road with peace of mind. ”
Someone will be three
The people were escorted down to the execution, and a dispute was resolved.
After everyone dispersed, Li Chengcheng said to Zhao Lanjiang, "Just now, you hesitated. This is not the Zhao Lanjiang I know. ”
Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Then what is the Zhao Lanjiang you know?"
Li Chengcheng said, "The Zhao Lanjiang I know, he is decisive in killing, he will never mess up his mind and break his Dao heart because of such a trivial matter, you want to please both sides, and you can't offend, in this world, it is impossible." If this is the case, you will have no power to fight back against the Tuoba Cattle in the future!"
Zhao Lanjiang smiled bitterly, "You still see it thoroughly, if you really understand me best." ”
Li Chengcheng said, "I can't understand you anymore." The higher the martial arts, the more fearful they are. ”
Zhao Lanjiang said helplessly, "In the past, one person was full, and the whole family was not hungry, but now so many people's lives are in my hands, and it is inevitable that I will think more about doing things." ”
Li Chengcheng said with a serious face, "Believe me, be yourself, this is the reason why Yuwen Tianlu and Li Qiuyi chose you!"
Someone came to say, "General Zhao, there are people outside the city who are scolding and fighting!"
In the past few days, the Northern Zhou army has continued to provoke Yinyang City, forcing them to open the door to fight, and Zhao Lanjiang's order has not responded, which has lasted for many days.
Hearing this, Zhao Yanjiang said, "Just ignore it." ”
"This time it's a little different. ”
Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng came to the top of the city, and three hundred steps away, a Northern Zhou general rode a war horse, dragging a person behind the horse, his clothes were in tatters, and he was covered in blood.
Zhao Lanjiang has recognized that the person on the ground is Liang Yuanzhi, the chief soldier of the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty. His hands were tied, and he staggered with the enemy general's horses being dragged around.
On top of the spear, it was Liang Yuanzhi's battle helmet that was being carried.
Above the city, there were many defenders of the Western Army, seeing that the main general was humiliated, his eyes were full of flames, and a general said, "General Zhao, please open the city gate, your subordinates are willing to fight!"
Zhao Lanjiang shook his head.
The man said, "General Liang was humiliated, how can we tolerate the arrogance of the enemy, if the general refuses to open the city gate, then please put his subordinates down with a hanging basket, and I will save the general soldier." ”
Zhao Lanjiang still refused.
Bao Daxing died of his nephew, and he hated Zhao Lanjiang for this. At this moment, he said indifferently, "General Song, now that Yinyang City is General Zhao's business, if you really rescue General Liang, I'm afraid some people will be unhappy." ”
The Song surname will go to Zhao to block the river.
Zhao Lanjiang said, "Tuoba Niuren is known as the god of war, and his actions are deliberately provoking us, if you go down to fight, you will fall into their arms." I don't. ”
General Song's eyes were red, "Do you want them to insult General Liang like this?"
Bao Daxing said, "I said it all, sometimes ......"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and Li Qingcheng's voice sounded behind him, "What's wrong with some people?"
Bao Daxing knew that although this person seemed to be calm, his martial arts were far superior to him, as long as he vomited his internal strength, he was afraid that his small life would not be able to be saved, so he changed his words, "Sometimes, sometimes, I will believe that everything has an end, get together and leave, sometimes, nothing is immortal." ”
The enemy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty saw that there were people in the city, and he became more and more unscrupulous, clamping the horse's belly, the war horse was in pain, and he accelerated forward, Liang Yuanzhi couldn't keep up, and was dragged on the ground, Rao was so, and he didn't shout.
The enemy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will drive his horse to within 300 paces.
Entering the range of the crossbow arrows, several crossbowmen raised their crossbows and aimed them at each other.
The man shouted, "Zhao Lanjiang, Lao Tzu is the first general under the name of the Northern Zhou God of War, Renault, your main general Liang is here, do you dare to go out of the city to fight? As long as you win, I will return it to you!"
"You Daming are known as the first in the world, how can you start a war and be like a girl?" he took out a woman's obscene clothes from his arms and put it on Liang Yuanzhi's head
Above the top.
This move made countless people in the city crazy, and they cursed one after another.
Then Reynolds rode forward again, and came to within two hundred paces, and his mouth was full of arrogance.
At this moment, the Northern Zhou army is far away, if the door is opened at this moment, it is very likely that Liang Yuanzhi will be rescued, and Zhao Lanjiang was a little moved in his heart.
Li Chengcheng stopped him.
"The Tuoba Oxman deliberately sent him to the door. First, it will destroy our morale, and second, if we really rescue him, I am afraid that I will really fall for his tricks. ”
Li Chengcheng didn't say it thoroughly, but Zhao Lanjiang understood what he meant.
A mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a city cannot tolerate two masters.
Although he holds the Tiger Festival, in terms of rank, Liang Yuanzhi is higher than Zhao Lanjiang, if he is really rescued, with Liang Yuanzhi's prestige in the army, there will definitely be people to follow. Zhao Lanjiang commanded the White Horse Yicong, and if the two sides disagreed, there would naturally be disputes.
Now that the war is imminent, this is the most taboo thing.
Tuoba cattle people are really calculating.
Seeing that the city head was unresponsive, Renault cursed, jumped off his horse, unbuttoned his pants, and used the general's helmet as a urinal, and peed in front of everyone.
"What's the matter?
He raised his hand casually and buckled his hat on the top of Liang Yuanzhi's head.
"Your commander-in-chief, you are only worthy of drinking Lao Tzu's urine! ha!"
General Song said loudly, "General Zhao, I am willing to fight to the death!"
Zhao Lanjiang looked at the city and saw Liang Yuanzhi.
At this time, Liang Yuanzhi was looking up at him.
The cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely firm.
He was the chief soldier of the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty, and after becoming a prisoner, he already knew his fate.
On the same day in the Guillotine Slope, in order to save his subordinates, he listened to the Tuoba Niu people, and ended up like this, if it were not for Zhao Lanjiang's action, I am afraid that half of the Western Army would be wiped out.
Now, the Tuoba Cattle brought him to scold the battle, and he did all the insulting things, in order to break the morale of the Ming army, how could he not know?
Liang Yuanzhi looked at Zhao Lanjiang, exerted his last strength, and shouted, "Zhao Lanjiang, after I die, gouge out my eyes and hang them on the head of Yinyang City, I want to see you tear the Tuoba Niu people to pieces!"
He also said: "The Western Army of the Ming Dynasty obeys the order, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, fight to the death!"
With that, while Renault was not paying attention, he pounced forward and bit him on the neck.
Renaud screamed in pain and slammed his right hand on the head, "Loosen up!"
Liang Yuanzhi has a will to die, where is he willing to let go, he has already exerted all his strength. Renault screamed incessantly, blood running down his neck and staining his chest.
"Whew!"
The screams were endless.
Although Renault had martial arts, he was bitten in the neck, and under the severe pain, he couldn't use the slightest strength, so he lay on the ground and struggled, and in a panic, he took out a saber and stabbed Liang Yuanzhi fiercely.
A dozen knives in a row.
Liang Yuanzhi fell to the ground, motionless, already out of breath.
Liang Yuanzhi, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, suffered humiliation after being captured, and on the battlefield, he bit off Renault's throat and faced death in the most dignified way.
Above the city, everyone was moved, many of the Western Expedition troops were already crying bitterly, and some of them opened their mouths, and the pain was so extreme that they couldn't say a word.
Liang Yuanzhi was dead, but the force of his teeth was so great that Renault couldn't break it, endured the severe pain, and cut off Liang Yuanzhi's head with a knife.
He stood up, ignoring the blood in his neck and laughing.
"You Daming, you're all a bunch of cowards!haha!"
The laughter came to an abrupt end.
A sharp arrow passed through his forehead and came out of his skull, bringing out a patch of blood.
Zhao Lanjiang put down his longbow and jumped down.
