Chapter 749: A Bunch of Hateful and Pathetic Poor People
749 A group of hateful and pathetic poor people
[Today's chapter is presented, ask for a wave subscription! ] 】
After midnight, the clock ticked into the twelfth.
"Kill!"
On the streets of the front line, fierce shouts broke out, and Li Zixiao took Dongcheng District to personally sit here, which has always been the most fierce direction of the Qing army's attack.
"Sir, we're in trouble."
When Peng Hao led the White Dragon soldiers and militiamen to repel the first wave of Qing attack, it didn't take long for him to come in a hurry, and said to Li Zixiao with an anxious face.
"What's going on?"
As soon as Li Zixiao saw Peng Hao's expression, he knew that something must be wrong.
"Sir, come and see for yourself."
Immediately, Li Zixiao followed behind Peng Hao and came to the main street, and with the help of the surrounding firelight, Li Zixiao saw a scene that made him angry.
"Dolgon!"
Li Zixiao gritted his teeth and roared word by word, his eyes were ruthless.
Because, at this time, the Qing soldiers on the opposite side actually drove a group of old and weak women and children to slowly force towards them.
But any people who are unwilling to advance will be hacked to death by the Qing soldiers who are driving behind.
The ruthlessness of the Qing soldiers made those people helpless, so they could only walk slowly along the street towards the White Dragon Army.
"Sir, what now?"
Peng Hao was also indignant, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, and asked Li Zixiao.
Li Zixiao had a gloomy face and did not answer Peng Hao, because he had no idea in his heart at this time.
The poisonous plan of the Qing soldiers is obvious, they want to let these people open the way in front, if the White Dragon Army blocks them, they will not let these people pass.
The Qing soldiers behind will ruthlessly kill these people, which is equivalent to the White Dragon Army indirectly killing these people, which will seriously damage the good reputation accumulated by Li Zixiao at that time.
But if these people are let over, it will inevitably disrupt the queue of the White Dragon Army in the streets and alleys, and when the time comes, the Qing soldiers will follow behind, taking advantage of the situation to cover up, and the White Dragon Army will definitely not be able to hold it.
"Sir, we can't be a woman's kindness at this time, we only have the last two low walls left, and there is no way out!"
At this time, the general of the White Dragon Army stood up eagerly and exhorted Li Zixiao.
"Sir, General Wu Qi is right.
In this battle, we must not lose, the world can be less than 100,000, millions of people, but we can't miss you, my lord. ”
Peng Hao also spoke at this time, and the meaning of his words was very clear.
Actually, Li Zixiao also thought so in his heart at this time.
He really couldn't bear to kill these innocent people, but he also knew that he couldn't lose this battle, and once he lost, everything would be gone.
"Hey!"
In the end, Li Zixiao sighed deeply, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Peng Hao's meaning.
"Sir, offended."
At this time, Peng Hao was a smart person, and he could see that Li Zixiao agreed with his words, but he did not give a clear order, so he knew that this kind of stain that would be criticized by future generations could not be carried on Li Zixiao.
Peng Hao is very smart, he is a good subordinate, he knows that he is worried about the lord, so he walked behind Li Zixiao at this time, and a palm of 'Peng' hit Li Zixiao on the back of the neck and knocked him unconscious.
"Rub it!"
In an instant, the six guards surrounding Li Zixiao immediately drew their long knives and aimed them at Peng Hao.
The quartz next to him reacted at the first time, and immediately caught Li Zixiao's soft body, and the iron rod was pressed against Peng Hao's chest.
"Captain Shi, don't worry, Ben will have no ill will towards the lord.
It would have been to see that the lord couldn't bear to hurt those people, so he had to make this decision.
The lord is benevolent and righteous, and would rather die than hurt the people.
But we, as subordinates, can't look at the lord and be killed by the Tartars with such a despicable poisonous trick.
Captain Shi, please bring the lord back to the city, and leave the battle here to the general.
Everything that is done here today is borne by the general alone, for the future of my White Dragon Army, for the great cause of the lord, I, Peng Hao, am willing to bear this infamy. ”
At this moment, Peng Hao showed no hesitation, righteousness and awe-inspiring, and said to the quartz who was protecting Li Zixiao, who was in a coma.
"We are willing to bear the infamy with General Peng, and I will die for the great cause of the lord."
At this time, several of the surrounding White Dragon Army banner generals and commanders also stood up and shouted in unison.
It's just that Quartz has a bit of a tendon, he can't figure out the twists and turns in it, he only knows how to protect Li Zixiao, whoever dares to hurt Li Zixiao, he will kill whomever he wants.
Therefore, at this time, the iron rod in Quartz's hand was not put down because of Peng Hao's words, and it was still on Peng Hao's chest.
This made Peng Hao a little embarrassed, but fortunately, at this time, Li Zixiao, who was lying on Quartz's shoulder, opened his eyes slightly, and said to Quartz in a low voice: "Stone, don't embarrass General Peng, take Benjue back to the county office." ”
It turned out that Peng Hao's palm just now was not heavy at all, and it did not stun Li Zixiao, and the two ministers had already thought of going together and acting in a play.
Quartz, who heard Li Zixiao's voice, put down the iron rod in his hand, glanced at Peng Hao in front of him, and then shouted to several guards around him, "Let's go." ”
Immediately, Quartz escorted the 'unconscious' Li Zixiao and returned to the county government in the city.
"Hey, I am also a hypocrite!"
Li Zixiao was carried away by quartz and sighed in his heart.
He knew that many people would die here tonight.
Although the culprit of those innocent people is Tartar, these people also died because of him after all, which still made Li Zixiao feel a sense of guilt.
"Throughout the ages, those who want to achieve great things really don't have blood in their hands, and I will count this revenge on the Tartars, and I swear that I will definitely get it back for you."
In the end, Li Zixiao had to make such an oath in his heart to make up for the guilt in his heart a little.
"Soldiers, you have also seen the situation ahead.
The vicious dogs want to use the lives of those innocent people to force us to get out of the way, so that they can kill the lord behind us.
But you know, the lord can't die, even if we all die, the lord can't die.
Think about your wives and children in your family, why they have been able to eat and clothe themselves in recent years, why they no longer starve to death, all because of the lord.
The lord was merciful and didn't want to kill the people in front of him, so he was knocked unconscious by the general, and the chief of the stone guard had already escorted the lord back to the county office.
Ben will know that this is a great crime of rebellion, and when this battle is over, Ben will personally ask the lord for his guilt if he is still alive.
Ben Jue cherishes the people and can't bear to hurt those innocent people, but Ben will not care so much.
As long as Ben will stay here for a moment, he will never allow anyone to attack our defenses, and no one will be allowed to cross here.
What Ben will do today may be pointed out by thousands of people in the future, but Ben will not be afraid, are you willing to follow Ben to bear this crime together? ”
Peng Hao personally stood in the middle of the White Dragon soldiers and shouted at them, and his words were deeply recognized by the White Dragon soldiers.
These soldiers of the White Dragon Army also understand that Li Zixiao can't die, otherwise their wives and children will probably have to live a good life again.
After hearing Peng Hao's shout, these soldiers shouted loudly: "I am willing to accompany the general to bear the guilt, swear to protect the lord to the death, kill and kill!" ”
These White Dragon soldiers are purer than Peng Hao, they are really only fighting to protect Li Zixiao.
"Okay, the whole army is arrayed, from now on, anyone who dares to attack our army's array, no matter who it is, will be our enemy, and there will be no mercy!"
Peng Hao put on his helmet, drew his sword, turned to look, and the hundreds of people who had already approached a very close distance, followed by four or five hundred Qing soldiers.
"Listen, the people in front of you, don't be an accomplice of the Tartars, and don't go any further, otherwise we will treat you as the lackeys of the Tartars, and we will kill you without mercy!
Now you can turn back and kill the Qing soldiers who persecuted you. ”
Peng Hao shouted loudly to the people who were already only seven or eight steps away from them.
The people who were driven away by the Qing soldiers in front of them stopped one after another after hearing Peng Hao's shout, and looked at each other in horror, looking helpless and pitiful.
"Go forward, don't stop, or kill!"
Poof, poof!
As soon as these people stopped, a group of Qing soldiers shouted angrily behind them.
Several Qing soldiers went up and stabbed several civilians to death with long knives and spears, causing a panicked shout, and the people behind rushed forward.
"General, please let us go, the Tartar soldiers are behind, if you don't let us pass, we will only have a dead end!"
In front of the people, a middle-aged man finally came out and shouted at Peng Hao.
"No, can't you see the poison of the Tartars? Ben can't kill everyone for your sake.
Now, your best option is to turn back and fight the Tartars who persecute you. ”
Peng Hao was unmoved, his face was cold, and he said.
"General, you are forcing us to die, we are unarmed, what do you let us use to fight the Tartars, you soldiers, eat the imperial food, isn't it supposed to protect us?"
After hearing Peng Hao's words, the middle-aged man was obviously anxious, with a gloomy look on his face, and shouted sharply.
This time, Peng Hao didn't reply and shook his head slightly, because he knew that it was useless to say anything more.
"Ahhh
At this time, the Qing soldiers who were behind began to kill again, forcing the people to continue to rush forward.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these dog officers and soldiers in front of us don't give us a way to live, they want to force us to death, let's fight with them, everyone rush, rush out of a way to live."
The middle-aged man was refused to get out of the way by Peng Hao, and finally became angry, thinking that Peng Hao was trying to force them to death, and instigated the surrounding people to attack the White Dragon Army's military formation.
This middle-aged man didn't know that it was not the White Dragon Army that really wanted to kill them, but the Qing soldiers behind them.
Just because the Qing soldiers are very ruthless, he knows that attacking the Qing soldiers in the future is the way to death.
On the contrary, Peng Hao, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army in front, as Ming officers and soldiers, are still easy to speak, maybe they don't dare to really kill them.
As long as they can rush over, they will have a way to live, as long as they can live, they will not care about the Tartar poison scheme, and Li Zixiao will not die.
In his opinion, those court officials will not die to do anything to him, the most important thing is to survive themselves, and people will not be destroyed for themselves.
At this time, the people around him were very helpless and had no idea, but at this time, the middle-aged man shouted loudly, which was equivalent to finding a goal for those people to live.
"Rush!"
In an instant, hundreds of people rushed towards the White Dragon Army.
"Damn Diao Min, kill!"
At this moment, Peng Hao was really enraged.
In front of them, these people would rather attack their military formation than turn back to fight the Tartars, which simply aided the abuse and directly issued the order to kill.
But at this time, Peng Hao, who was angry, didn't want to think about how innocent these people were.
Ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention these ordinary people who can't read big characters.
For these basically, uneducated peasants at the end of the Ming Dynasty, talking about national righteousness with them at this time is similar to playing the piano to a cow.
For these poor peasant people, their wish is very simple and humble, that is, to live.
As for who won and who lost in the battle between the White Dragon Army and the Qing soldiers, they really didn't think so much, and they couldn't think so much.
It is such a humble and simple wish, and in such a troubled world, it is difficult to realize it.
In troubled times, life is not as good as dogs, it's really not to say.
Of course, among these people, there are also scheming people, and the middle-aged man who took the initiative to stand up before is one.
This middle-aged man is not an ordinary person, but the head of a wealthy gentry family in Gaotang Prefecture, and he has heard of the names of Li Zixiao and Bai Longjun.
Especially in the past two years, Li Zixiao led the White Dragon Army to gain a great reputation, the White Dragon Army can fight well, and Li Zixiao's reputation for loving the people like a son is widely known.
Therefore, the middle-aged man at this time thought that Peng Hao might just scare him, and with the reputation of the White Dragon Army, he should not really kill them.
Otherwise, if the slaughter of the people spreads, it will simply stink the good reputation that the White Dragon Army and Li Zixiao have accumulated so hard!
In the end, in order to survive, this middle-aged man had to fight and incite the surrounding people to attack the military and political affairs of the White Dragon Army.
Because, in his opinion, there is still a glimmer of life when attacking the White Dragon Army formation, and if he turns around and attacks the Tartar Army formation, he will definitely die.
And among the hundreds of people, many of them are holding the same luck as the middle-aged man.
But in fact, most of the people are blindly following the herd.
This is a group of poor people who are both hateful and pathetic.
"Kill!"
Poof, poof!
When these people rushed to the White Dragon Army, trying to break up the White Dragon Army's military formation, and fled into the city.
However, they found that these White Dragon soldiers led by Peng Hao killed them, which was no worse than the Qing soldiers, and they all shot ruthlessly without hesitation.
These unarmed peasants rushed to the heavily armed White Dragon Army foot soldiers, and were not only blocked by the low wall, but also by the shield wall, and then they were slashed by the spears and knives of the White Dragon soldiers.
Peng Hao was also helpless, he couldn't watch the army formation of his soldiers being scattered by these 'Diao people' who were swarming over, so he had to kill them as enemies.
"Ahhh
The White Dragon Army killed the killers and killed all the people who rushed to them, and it was not their turn to spare their hands at this time.
"They...... They really killed them, is Li Zixiao crazy? ”
The middle-aged man hiding behind the crowd looked at the White Dragon soldiers who were really killing people in front of him, looked frightened, and said in a low voice.
