Chapter 83 Spotting the enemy's plan is another trapped beast
The city gate, which had just revealed a crack, slammed shut with a bang amid Jian Chen's shout.
The soldiers in the death row camp saw that the hope that had just appeared was ruthlessly shattered in front of them, and their feelings suddenly went out of control!
"Open the door! ”
"Open the door!"
"Why is the door closed, why is the door closed?"
The procession, which had just been in order, now swarmed to the city gate, beating vigorously on the city gate.
Shen Zheng stood on the city wall, looking at Chen Jian under the city tower in confusion.
Chen Jian looked at the approaching pursuers behind him, his eyebrows trembling slightly.
"Everyone, follow me!" Chen Jian took the lead towards the soldiers who were frantically slapping the city gate, and ran towards the peak on the right side of the city wall.
The soldiers saw that the city gate was hopeless to open, and saw that the pursuers were approaching, so they had no choice but to follow Chen Jian and run up the mountain.
The pursuers behind him seemed to feel strange when they saw that Jian Chen had not entered Shen Zheng's military camp, and the team stopped and did not move forward.
Shen Zheng looked at the pursuers under the city tower looking left and right, and knew that something was wrong.
The pursuers stayed where they were for a moment, then began to move slowly again, chasing in the direction of the retreat of the death row soldiers.
Chen Jian led the soldiers into the dense forest, and ordered everyone to find a place to hide, while he went to observe the situation of the pursuing soldiers.
It is very strange that the pursuers did not catch up with the mountain, but gathered at the foot of the mountain, and everyone, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with these pursuers. Chen Jian said secretly in his heart.
He guessed that the pursuers at the foot of the mountain would not attack for the time being, so he ordered the soldiers who were in ambush to assemble.
One after another, the soldiers gathered, numbering in the hundreds.
Jian Chen stared at these people silently for a long time, his eyes swept around everyone.
"Now, everyone obeys my orders, and everyone assembles according to the team assigned during the previous training!"
At this time, when their lives were at stake, the soldiers didn't know why Jian Chen still paid attention to these trivial matters of military discipline, but in the face of Jian Chen's stern look, everyone still pushed and shoved and stood in line according to the original assignment.
Before all the assembly was over, the soldiers discovered the problem.
There were dozens of people scurrying left and right, seemingly unable to find their queue.
"Take it for me!" Jian Chen coldly watched as those people collided between the various stations like headless flies.
The death row inmates quickly understood what was happening, and some of them reacted quickly, and they had already rushed up and pounced on the group.
Occasionally, a few people who struggled to escape were suddenly restrained by Jian Chen.
"Are you the soldiers of Tart Snow?" Chen Jian looked at these soldiers who were tied up by the Five Flowers, and said coldly.
The soldiers didn't seem to expect to be discovered so quickly, and they were all so shocked that they all bit their lips and kept silent.
"You took advantage of the panicked retreat of the soldiers, caught up and mixed in with our troops, and wanted General Shen to blend into the city when he opened the city gate, yes or no!" Chen Jian's eyes were aggressive.
The plan had been exposed, and the soldiers were surprised and frightened.
"No wonder, those chasing soldiers can obviously catch up with us, but they always follow not far behind, it turns out that they deliberately want to let your group of meticulous workers enter Sanping Town!" Chen Jian said hatefully.
Jian Chen's words finally made everyone understand why he stopped Shen Zheng from opening the door just now.
When the soldiers retreated in a panic, they all ran forward like crazy, and few people noticed that there were more fresh faces around them.
After a moment of euphoria, everyone's expressions darkened again.
Although I caught the fine work, at this moment, it is not something to be happy about.
Chen Jian looked at the dark faces of the soldiers, frowned, and said in a loud voice:
"Soldiers, please listen to me!"
When everyone saw Jian Chen speak, they all raised their heads, and their eyes of hope were thrown at him.
Chen Jian knew that the soldiers pinned their last hope on themselves, but in the current situation, he lacked the skills to return to the sky, but at this juncture, the military spirit must not be vented, otherwise the original efforts will be in vain.
"I know what everybody is thinking. We are alone, and now we are trapped here, with no food and grass and no reinforcements, and the outcome can be imagined. ”
"But even so, I still hope that everyone, as a soldier, even if we die, we must die vigorously, and we cannot insult our glory as a soldier!"
"What Jian Chen said is right, sooner or later it will be a dead word, it is better to rush out and fight with them!" Chen Zhongliang walked out of the queue and stood beside Jian Chen.
The rest of the crowd chanted to follow, but most of them remained silent.
Everyone knows that with the current military strength, fighting hard with the enemy can only lead to a dead end.
They are all just some death row prisoners, although under the leadership of Chen Jian, they have worked together for a few days, but when it comes to life and death, life has become their most urgent and longing for **.
Jian Chen also knew that not all of these soldiers were loyal and brave soldiers, there were many people who protected themselves from Mingzhe, and they were not opponents of the enemy army at all if they did not practice on weekdays, and now they were able to preserve these strengths, and they had earned them back.
Looking at the remaining more than 100 people, Chen Jian couldn't bear it, no matter what, it was all a fresh life, let him watch them go to death, he couldn't do it.
It's just that now, there is no other way.
"Actually, you can all be immortal. Just as the feelings of the crowd were at the bottom, someone in the enemy army who was being held in custody spoke.
Chen Jian's eyebrows swept away, and the soldier who spoke was quickly brought out.
"What are you talking about!" Jian Chen forced his gaze at the man.
The soldier, with a dark face and a pair of eyes, looked at Jian Chen timidly. "General Yelu has an order, if we infiltrate the city, it will be considered a success, and if we fail, let us find a man named Chen Jian and bring him a word. ”
"What words?" Jian Chen said in a solemn tone.
"You-you-you-" the man asked cautiously, but soon he realized something, "the general said that as long as you were captured, he would release the men from the death row!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qian Shouzheng rushed forward and grabbed the man's collar.
"Brother Qian, listen to what he has to say first!" Chen Jian stopped Qian Shouzheng.
"General Yelu said that you are far more useful than those useless people in the death camp!" the soldier looked up, his voice trembling.
"Jian Chen, don't listen to him, he must be sowing discord, and when the time comes, we won't be able to live if we hand you over!" Chen Zhongliang dissuaded.
Chen Zhongliang's worries were not unreasonable, but in Chen Jian's heart, he seemed to subconsciously believe the soldier's words.
How could Yelufu know about himself? What is the value of a soldier in a death row camp to a commander who commands an army of tens of thousands?
Yelufu would never say that he wanted to be a nobody for no reason, and there must be something in it that he didn't know.
Also, if you can really exchange the lives of these people, then even if you take the risk, isn't it worth trying?
"Why should I believe you?" Jian Chen decided.
"I can get the pursuers down the hill to withdraw. The terrain is high, and you can see our sincerity. The soldier said.
"Never. If you go, you will die for life. Chen Zhongliang saw Jian Chen's expression and knew his plan.
Can his own lives really be exchanged for more than 100 lives? Jian Chen did not speak.
Chen Jian felt that he should compromise, for the sake of so many lives. He looked at everyone, and many of them were looking at him with complicated eyes.
There are too many of them who want to live.
Seeing that someone in the crowd showed hopeful eyes at Chen Jian, Zheng Zhixiong couldn't help but become angry, "Your conscience has been eaten by dogs, Chen Jian is so conscientious to withstand the pressure and train everyone, just to protect everyone's lives, these days, if he hadn't stayed awake every night on the top of the mountain to watch the movements of the enemy army, I am afraid that we would have been wiped out by the enemy's surprise attack!"
"Jian Chen is the guard of Pingyang Mansion, known as a righteous man, with excellent martial arts, if he wants to go, he can leave at any time. Before Tart Snow attacked, General Shen wanted to keep him, but he refused General Shen's kindness for the sake of you group of death row prisoners, and returned to the death row camp to lead everyone to resist the enemy. Now, in order to save your own lives, you want to exchange him!" Chen Zhongliang raised his voice, full of grief.
"Brother Chen-you-" Jian Chen didn't expect that Chen Zhongliang would know so many things, and it seemed that his relationship with Shen Zheng was definitely not ordinary.
What Zheng Zhixiong and Chen Zhongliang said, everyone was surprised, they didn't know that Chen Jian still had so many secrets hidden in his body.
"You're right, we were originally death row prisoners, if it weren't for Jian Chen, we would have died a long time ago, and now for the sake of our own lives, we send our benefactor to die, then, even if we live, it is a shame. "Someone stepped forward.
Soon, everyone's feelings were aroused, and many people made their positions clear. Occasionally, a few people who still had the hope of handing over Jian Chen could only hide in the team and dare not say anything.
Chen Zhongliang saw that the crowd was angry, and hurriedly said, "Jian Chen, we won't exchange you, you can lead us to fight to the death!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I've made up my mind!" Jian Chen straightened up.
"Jian Chen!" Chen Zhongliang stepped forward to stop.
"Brother Chen, you're right, I rejected General Shen's kindness to return to the death camp, just to help everyone find a way to survive together, now, since there is hope, why don't I try!"
"You should know that our current situation has no way to live at all, let me watch so many brothers die, so what did I come back to do in the first place!"
"No! we must not let you take risks!" Chen Zhongliang led everyone to stop it.
"If Brother Chen insists on going his own way, I will die here now!" Chen Jian's eyes lit up, and he snatched the weapon from Chen Zhongliang's hand and put it on his neck.
"You-" Chen Zhongliang looked at Jian Chen blankly.
He knew that in order to save people, he would definitely be able to do it!
Seeing that Chen Zhongliang and the others were stunned, Chen Jian's subordinates used their strength, and with a flick of their fingers, they broke all the ropes of the tart snow soldier just now, "Now, let me see your sincerity!"
