Chapter 753: There Was Never a Savior
In Anlu City, the people and the officials and soldiers are intersecting with each other, but there is a "big army" on the roads, fields, and inside the city outside the city......
Among them, there are fugitives from Anlu County who are ragged and holding a variety of bamboo and wooden weapons, and there are also Qin soldiers with bright armor, spears and knives, and only white scarves wrapped around their foreheads or arms to distinguish them.
Feng Jing roughly calculated that at least tens of thousands of people, and many more people were running from afar, far away, they seemed to be only the size of ants, but they were all over the mountains.
They didn't have a clear array, but they all had a unified slogan, and they all knocked on the guy in their hands and shouted in unison:
"Marquis Wuzhong!"
The east of the city, the south of the city, the north of the city, and the west of the city, all shouted from all sides for a time, one after another, like spring thunder, and the tide seemed to rush into the ears of everyone in the city.
Seeing that they were surrounded by regiments and suffering from the enemy on their backs, the ordinary soldiers in the city were shocked for a while, even if it was Feng Jing, they couldn't help but be shocked! Hurriedly mobilized everyone to go to the city wall to defend.
But after all, the locals who came were very familiar with Anlu, and many of them also participated in the repair of the wall, and they were clear about the height and thinness. And the 4,000 short soldiers brought by Heifu from Jiangnan were all those who had been practicing martial arts for a long time and were holding crossbows captured by the Wuchang battalion, and they concentrated in the south of the city and shot at the defenders on the city wall, but they did not fall behind.
Hefu was in the center of the procession, he was on a horse, his head wrapped in a red curtain, and behind him were several cloth and banners, which were extremely conspicuous. Hundreds of horsemen gathered to his left and right, and the troops stood still, eyeing each other.
Seeing that the crossbowmen were suppressing the firepower at the head of the city, Heifu commanded with ease, and shouted: "Leopard, the thieves are blocking the door of the house and breaking the way for me!" ”
"No!"
The East Gate Leopard immediately led thousands of people and launched an attack on the South City Gate.
And to deal with such a small county town with low walls, there is no need to siege the nest car, let alone Italian artillery.
Shields held high to block the chaotic array of arrows overhead, and dozens of people carried stout trees to storm the southern gate of Anlu.
The walls trembled, and the gates continued to crack, and after dozens of blows, they broke through the city!
Entering the city was easier than expected, firstly, because Feng Jing wanted to run away, he didn't plan to defend the city, and he didn't block the city gate. Second, there was a riot of more than 10,000 young people in the city, and Feng Jing's men were fighting with them near the street, and they didn't have time to return to the city gate.
The defenders were a little stunned, but the attackers immediately threw the trunk of the tree, drew their swords and shouted and poured into the city, and behind them was a steady stream of reinforcements.
In the case of a small gap in equipment, the essence of street fighting is: meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
In terms of bravery, if the Dongmen Violent Tiger is called the second, he did not dare to call the first, but he saw him holding a double halberd, and the guards who came to block the short hand, rushing forward and killing behind, shouting and fighting, only in a moment, more than ten people have died under his halberd!
And the soldiers of Anlu next to them were on their own land, in order to rescue their families who were locked up in the city as soon as possible, and their combat effectiveness was doubled, with short knives and spears.
The group was like entering a no-man's land, and the people who could kill and stop them retreated one after another, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, and retreating to the north, not yet being able to take care of themselves, let alone block the city gates.
Seeing that the leopard in the east gate had already killed a bloody road, Heifu also urged his mount, and rushed directly into the city from the city gate with a group of horseback followers!
Speaking of which, after so many years in Anlu, no matter how high his status is, every time he returns to his hometown, Heifu has always obeyed the law and galloped on the street, this is the first time.
Like a whirlwind, they swept across the battlefield of corpses, entered the streets full of barricades and wreckage, and saw the bright red flag that was still holding its ground......
"Go over there!"
Dongmen Leopard and other apprentices began to expand their results, attacking from the south of the city to the east of the city, while Heifu and his party stepped through the blood-stained street and went all the way to the north.
He's not going to fight a crushing battle, but a war of annihilation!
Perhaps inspired by the courage of the Anlu people, Heifu, who has always been steady, is not cowardly at all, but looks like a reckless man.
Hefu galloped along the long street, and in this way fought his way out of the encirclement, broke several lines of defense, and came to the barricade.
He was riding a black horse, and it was all black from a distance, but the red curtain above his head was extremely dazzling, like a jumping flame, and stopped in front of Yuan Yong.
Yuan Yong stared blankly at the general in front of him who descended like a god, and forgot to salute for a while.
Looking at this group of young people who were covered in mud and dust, but their eyes were exceptionally bright, Heifu asked Yuan Yongdao, who was holding the flag:
"Housheng, do you recognize me?"
"Wu ...... Marquis Wu Zhong? ”
"I'm Hef." Hefu nodded and asked:
"What's your name?"
"Yuanyong! My name is Yuan Yong! ”
This Xia Yuanyong agreed very loudly, eager to let the whole county know his name.
"Who are you?" Heve has a good memory.
"It's my Father!"
"Okay, you're more bloody than your father!"
Yuan Yong wanted to salute at this time, but was stopped by Heifu, who looked at this group of scarred descendants who had been fighting for a long time, and smiled.
"The afterlife is terrifying, but do you still have the strength to rush with me for a while?"
"Yes!" Yuan Yong and a group of young people responded in unison.
"Great goodness! Flag coming! ”
Heifu stretched out his hand, and Yuan Yong subconsciously handed over the flag.
An Lu's best son took over the bright red flag and turned around.
Dongmen Leopard, Wu Chen and others have swept in from the south of the city, and are about to surround the enemy in the east and north of the city, but the other party is the elite regular army of Great Qin after all, and they are still resisting stubbornly, and even trying to break through from the west of the city.
It's time for the final blow.
Hefu himself held the flag, and the tip of the flag pointed east!
"Let's go! Save your family and capture Feng Jing! ”
"Follow Marquis Wu Zhong, save your family, and capture Feng Jing!"
Yuan Yong and the others, who were originally exhausted, regained infinite strength, roared loudly, followed Heifu, and launched a counterattack to the east of the city!
And Chengxi, who was still a little demoralized a moment ago, was inspired by this flag, and suddenly there was a lot of noise.
Marquis Wu Zhonghou is back and has come to save everyone!
There is no need to be afraid, no longer need to retreat, what to do now is to follow the invincible General Heifu and rush to the damn!
Ji Ying led a group of veterans who had followed Heifu, and the old department was the first to pour out of the ruins, gearing up.
A group of dogs carrying butcher knives slaughtered violently and came out of the alley with a fierce face.
Yuan Bai, Wen Yichi and other businessmen and craftsmen also showed their figures, staggering, but holding their heads high.
Even the teenage teenagers, who were instructed to protect their women and children, couldn't help but climb onto the roof, stand up straight, and wave flags to cheer, wanting to witness the scene......
From childhood to adulthood, they had heard countless stories and legends of Marquis Wuzhong.
And today, they, and even the entire Qianshou people of Anlu County, all men, women, and children, even a dog that helped the master bite those thieves, all participated in this battle, and they will all become part of this story!
What do they see?
The small county town, like a boiling tripod, is crowded, like boiling waves, surging again, followed by the eye-catching red flag, rushing towards the east of the city!
The defensive line in the east of the city was rapidly crumbling, and in the face of the raging sea, they had lost even the courage to pull the crossbow machine, and most of them wisely chose to throw their weapons and kneel on the side of the street in surrender......
The county temple is getting closer and closer, victory is in sight, Yuan Yong tried his best to take steps, followed the man who carried the banner on the horse, looked at his fearless back, and there were only two words in his heart:
"Hero!"
He shouted.
It is Anlu's great hero who guides his father, brother and brother!
Heifu heard it, but didn't look back, because at this moment, he was also infected with this pride!
His heart was beating with excitement, and the drums of war were rumbling.
There was blood under his feet and tears in his eyes.
But in my heart, I am still clear.
"It is freedom that guides the people!"
……
"Mother?"
There were still sporadic battles in the city, Dongmen Leopard was ordered to capture Feng Jing who was trapped on the city tower, and Heifu rushed into the county temple as soon as possible, followed the eldest brother, came to his mother's sickbed, knelt down and held her hand.
"Mother? It's back. ”
My mother didn't have black hair more than ten years ago, gray hair, dim eyes, and a weak and thin little old lady. Although she has no worries about food and clothing over the years, a series of changes have still broken her body, and it is sincerely said that her mother has survived several times, and it is not easy to survive until now.
"I'm afraid I don't believe you're dead, and I'm going to wait to see you." As he spoke, he turned his head and wiped his tears.
Hearing the shout, the mother opened her eyes, saw Heifu, stretched out her hand, touched his face, squinted and confirmed for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The old woman knows that my son will not die so easily."
"More than ten years ago, you had that serious illness, didn't you also come back to life? The old woman has checked the book of the day, but you will live past the age of seventy......"
It was the turning point of fate, not to replace it, but to merge into one, so he has always lived together as two identities, and will never change the name of "Heifu".
Because it was given by the mother.
To be a man, you can't forget your roots.
"The son should not fake his death, let his mother suffer so much, he is frightened, and he owes his mother!"
Heifu kowtowed three times and confessed his mistake to his mother.
"You don't owe anything to the old woman, and I never believed you were dead."
The mother, like when she was a child, pulled the black husband's ear and laughed: "You can hide it from everyone, but you can't hide it from the old woman!" ”
Her voice was then low:
"It's that the first emperor treats you well, and he is an official and a knight, I heard that he is gone, and the traitorous minister has changed his edict, so he treats Anlu people harshly. Zhongzi, what you have done is worthy of the emperor? ”
Loyalty, trustworthiness, and good neighborliness, this is what the old lady has been teaching her children since she was a child.
Heifu was solemn, in front of his mother, he could tell the truth: "I ask myself, I have never done anything to be sorry for the emperor." ”
"On the contrary, everything I do is to inherit the philosophy and career of the First Emperor!"
"The world is unified, the six contract winds, Kyushu is coherent, this is what he expects, Qianshou is rich, and the four seas are peaceful, which he has never done! All of them will come true! ”
"Okay, that's it." The mother did not understand those national affairs, and asked again:
"So, are you worthy of the Anlu people, and the fathers, brothers, and brothers outside?"
This question stopped Heifu, and he was silent for a while before he said:
"I owe the Anlu people, they have long been tied to me, one is prosperous, one is lost, from the moment I fake death, they are destined to be displaced, and they will shed blood, sweat and tears in the future!"
Because of him, everyone will be forced to be involved in this wave of the times.
He nodded, confirming this: "Yes, I owe them!" ”
At this time, there was another cry outside, the voice was so high and huge, it was An Lu asking if the sugar girl was okay, and calling their hero by the way.
"Is it thundering again?"
The mother seemed to be confused again, and turned over, as if she wanted to sleep again.
"Zhongzi, go out, Anlu people have been looking forward to this rain for a long time......"
……
When Heifu reappeared, the whole Anlu was boiling.
Marquis Wu Zhong went to see his mother and brother, and others also looked for their relatives.
The fleeing Anlu people found their once lost relatives and hugged each other and cried tears.
The 800 children who followed Heifu south were also reunited with their families, either holding their wives and concubines, or holding their children who had not seen them for two years and did not recognize them, and the stubble poked the children writhing.
They rejoiced.
But there is also a sad scene.
The white-haired old man, looking for his children and grandchildren, was saddened, and the woman holding the baby was crying silently in front of the corpses on the street, and the neighbors had to help clean up the bones of the beloved, and the soldiers brought by the black man were also trying to treat the wounded, and by the way, the captured Guanzhong soldiers were detained.
There is no bloodless revolution in the world, some people will die, some people will live, but when it came to making a choice, they all stood up and gambled with their lives, and the blood of the martyrs watered the streets and alleys of Anlu.
That's why Heifu said he owed them.
But the Anlu people don't think so.
"Thank you Marquis Wu Zhong, for saving An Lu!"
Holding a dove cane, the respected county old man trembled and poured rice wine to salute Heifu.
"Thank you Marquis Wu Zhong, for saving us!"
Thousands of people who had fled in Yunmengze bowed down together, and if it weren't for Heifu who brought them back, everyone would probably be dead forever, and there would never be a day to reunite with their families.
"Thank you Marquis Wu Zhong, for saving the people of Anlu!"
On the towers of the city, on the streets, on the rooftops, and in the ravines, tens of thousands of people saluted the black man solemnly, feeling that if it were not for the spring rain that arrived in time, they would be more than lucky......
But after receiving the praise of the people, and enjoying their praise, the Hefu bowed down to them:
"It wasn't me who saved the Anlu people!"
Qin Shi Huangdi, he was high above and could not see the power of the head of Qian
But Hefu could see, or rather, he was a little bit of a god, so he understood how great and terrible this power was.
This power is iron.
This power is steel.
Harder than iron, stronger than steel!
They are the driving force that pushes the wheel of history forward, not princes and generals.
Those who can't see this clearly, no matter whether your name is a hero or a traitor, will eventually be abandoned by the people and spin in the dead circle of history!
The reason why Heifu dared to take thousands of people to risk back to Anlu was because he believed in this power:
There has never been a savior in this world.
I don't rely on any gods or emperors!
"It's not me who came to save Anlu."
Heifu bowed three times to the fathers and villagers of the city, and asked the soldiers to pass on his voice to everyone!
"It's the people of Anlu, it's your courage and fearlessness that saved you!"
