Chapter 636: An Unbearable Price
Belief is a very illusory thing.
It can be a thing, an object, or a sentence, or even a belief in a grass, a cloud, or a wave.
Faith is actually an occasional burst of enthusiasm, or a second-of-a-kind epiphany.
Faith comes easily, but it is unforgettable and will accompany people for a lifetime.
Qian Sudian rushed to the front, he was not afraid of death at this time.
Because he feels that he owes more than 20,000 lives and needs to pay it back!
Faced with the danger of the remnants of the Sailor and Yizhen in Jiangbei, he was powerless.
If you owe someone's life, you have to pay it back with your life.
At this time, he couldn't wait to spray it with full blood, and paste it all over the city gate, he wanted the Tartar to understand that the men of the Han family should not be bullied!
Because he believed in Wu Zheng, and from the moment he knew Wu Zheng's ambitions, he firmly believed that the long-awaited victory and the glory of the Han people would definitely come.
And this, there will definitely be people who sacrifice, and people must be sacrificed.
20,000 elites turned into white bones in Yizhen.
Now, two thousand comrades have died in the city, and now it is his turn.
Therefore, when he used the knife in his hand to cut off one after another the heads of the panicked Tartars, Qian Sudian's eyes flashed with a light that made the enemy fearful.
So, when an arrow struck him in the abdomen, he snapped the shaft of the arrow, not slowing down the charge in the slightest.
So, when a scimitar slashed off a piece of flesh from his left arm, he responded with a stab in the head.
At this time, behind Qian Sudian, there was already a blood mark step by step.
When several spears stabbed at him, Qian Sudian was no longer able to dodge, so he made a choice and rushed forward!
When the three spears pierced his torso, he shaved off the head of the frontal tartar.
Then, Qian Sudian fell.
There was no sorrow in his countenance, but a relief.
He's laughing!
Qian Sudian shouldn't have died here.
But he did die.
His own soldiers couldn't even catch up with him.
It is hard to imagine that when the three hundred Qing soldiers closest to the city gate densely blocked the city gate, Qian Sudian actually broke through the formation of the Qing army with one person.
And he did, though he died.
He was the highest-ranking general killed in the Northern Expeditionary Army in the entire Battle of Shaoxingfu.
He is one of the four guards under the command of the General's Mansion, and the commander of the Hangzhou Guard!
When Qian Sudian fell, the whole team fell into madness.
Crazy like wild beasts, there is no soldier who does not shed tears, they hate, hate why they rushed so slowly, hate why they did not die in front of the main general.
So, they no longer think of themselves as human beings.
As a result, they almost traded their lives for the enemy.
So, in the time of a pillar of incense, the East City Gate was broken through by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and then nailed there.
So, even if Duoduo had an indomitable will and the ability to deal with everything, he had to retreat.
If you don't retreat, you die!
The Qing army retreated, and Duoduo retreated from the city wall with less than 2,000 surviving men, and they could no longer go down the city, because the city gate was already in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Duoduo led the men from the walls to the North Gate, which was now under Bolo's control.
Duoduo really didn't expect that he asked Bolo to go to the North City Gate originally to let Bolo outflank the rear wing of the Ming army, but now, it has become a way for him to retreat and survive.
……。
Wu Zhengmuran stood in front of Qian Sudian's body that had been collected and was speechless for a long time.
The soldiers behind him were silently crying.
"Why?" Wu Zheng finally roared out these three words.
"Why? Even if we can't attack this time, we can attack a second time, and even if we can't attack the second time, we can attack a third time. We're still young, and we've got time...... Why? Wu Zheng shed tears that never flowed out.
Qian Sudian died, and his death made Wu Zheng feel unreal.
But he did die, and his death almost made people feel that he was more like he committed suicide on his own initiative.
Wu Zheng couldn't understand, why?
In the face of countless soldiers asking for war in unison, Wu Zheng spit out four words, "Fight again tomorrow." ”
This order broke the hearts of the soldiers.
They want to burn themselves, they want revenge.
But Wu Zheng didn't let in.
How can it be made?
Wu Zheng even regretted why he came to fight this battle.
In the past three years, he has been accustomed to seeing life and death, and even has a sentence of mercy not being in charge of the army on his lips all the time.
He even thought that he could watch Qian Sudian die, but not now, this ...... It's not worth it!
Wu Zheng could not bear to have more people die, and he regretted the incitement of the soldiers before sending out the army.
It really wasn't what he wanted.
Soldiers need to be calm.
Yes, being calm will make people know whether they deserve to die, whether they should die like this.
Wu Zheng thought that he also had to calm down.
Think about it, when your ambitions are realized, there will be a few old people left around you.
……。
This evening, the whole city of Ningbo became a pot of porridge.
Even the people are asking each other, why is this Ming army so fierce today, and even the Tartars, who have always been invincible, can't stop them from escaping?
I heard that there was a general in the army who took the lead and died at the east city gate.
Some bold people went to the east gate with incense and candles, and finally did not dare to approach, and burned incense and bowed from afar.
And then more and more.
The human heart is complex and changeable.
But race cannot be changed.
At this time, the elegant courtyard in the north city, carved by the nine-curved bridge, in the octagonal stone pavilion.
Chen Ziling looked coldly at the men in front of him and said, "One person will give two hundred taels to buy your life, okay?" ”
The man at the head looked left and right and said, "I wonder what the girl wants us to do for a living?" Kidnap? Homicide? Set? ”
A man on the left smiled in a funny tone, "Could it be that the girl has a good relationship and has another woman, and you want us to kill her?" ”
Chen Ziling replied, "Set fire." ”
The man at the head was obviously stunned, "Where to set fire?" ”
"Gongyuan."
These two words shocked several men.
The man on the left said angrily, "Are you crazy? It had long been occupied by the Tartars, storing grain and grass, and guarded by countless soldiers, even if there were a hundred people, I am afraid that they would not be able to attack it. We can't do this for a living, so let's find someone else. ”
Chen Ziling said: "I can take you in, but how to burn it depends on yourself, and in addition, whether you can come out or not, you have to figure out your own way." ”
The man at the head asked gloomily, "Do you have a grudge against the Tartars?" ”
Chen Ziling shook her head.
"If there is no hatred, why bother?"
Chen Ziling said: "It's none of your business. You have to answer, "Do you want to go?" ”
The man in the lead shook his head at the others, then whispered to the side for a while.
"You just said, take us in, but it's a little hot, you can't run, how can you cash in the silver?"
Chen Ziling pointed to an inconspicuous wooden box in the corner of the pavilion and said, "There are a thousand taels there, as long as you should take this matter, you can take it." ”
The man in the lead glanced at the man on the left.
