Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 10 No one is innocent

"I'm afraid that the White Lotus Sect will attack the city early tomorrow morning. Judging from the slack combat readiness of Zhuozhou City, it can hardly stand up to an attack. What can I say with a small person like myself?" When ambitions are rampant, Zhu Gan was completely in trouble and didn't know what to do.

Zhu Gan suddenly smiled coldly, walked to the big drum by himself, picked up the drumsticks, endured the pain all over his body, and started to beat the drum.

The sound of the drum trembled, unable to withstand the attack of drowsiness, but Zhu Gan's thin figure standing under the drum and beating the drum strenuously shocked everyone. In the predicament, I used this sentence to tell Gao Yingxiang that there was no way out.

What is his purpose, what kind of spirit is supporting him in his thin body, his ambition is still sincere.

"If you want to sleep, you can go home and sleep, but once the White Lotus Sect enters the city, let alone you who are sleeping, even your home will be destroyed, you will be killed, and your women and daughters will be reduced to playthings. Your son will be turned into a slave, or even turned into food for the hungry, you can imagine it yourself! Go home and sleep, just for a moment of pleasure, or go with me to reorganize the army, strictly enforce the military discipline, and make this city of Zhuozhou Build it into an unbreakable iron barrel to keep your wife and children safe."

Some sharp-eyed people could see that under Zhu Qian's thin clothes, a large area was already stained red with blood, but he stood there tall and straight, with a high-pitched tone, without the slightest trembling. Inspired by this, many people finally came to their senses, not daring to have the slightest chance. If the White Lotus Sect enters the city, they will die, and their wives and children will also suffer.But as long as they keep Zhuozhou City, maybe they will die, but their wives and children will be fine.

"Although we are greedy for money, but you can do this, why should we not try our best to protect our family!"

"Yes! We don't want rewards now, we want to protect our family."

Perhaps it was Zhu Gan's blood-stained back and his spirit of daring to stand up to hardships that really moved them. After all, there is no shortage of anything these days, except for such a leader.

"Maybe it can be used?" More than 100 people marched towards the city with torches, waking up the sleeping people. Tonight will be a sleepless night.

More than 100 mobs became Zhu Gan's temporary guards, and those 40 people were his personal soldiers. They went up to the city wall with their toes high and high, watching the soldiers leaning on their weapons and dozing off in twos and threes. Some were even more grunting.

Because the military officers in Zhuozhou City basically went to the Zhizhou Yamen, there was no senior military officer to lead them at this time, and the defense on the city wall was so slack that it was appalling. So many people climbed the city wall, but no one got up. The soldier just opened his eyes and took a look, then changed his posture and continued to sleep with the weapon in his arms, completely unaware of what happened.

Zhu Gan was so angry that he kicked the leg of the person who blocked the way. The person was so painful that he couldn't sleep. He stood up cursing and cursed angrily: "Little thief, I greet your ancestors for eighteen generations. Don't hurry up and apologize to the uncle..."

"Hmph! Take it down." With a wave of Zhu Gan's hand, a group of people rushed up aggressively and beat him to the ground.

Looking at the soldiers who were rubbing their eyes in twos and threes, Zhu Qian felt sad, but at the same time rejoiced. The Ming Dynasty had enjoyed the country for 300 years. The twilight of the year is passing by, so no matter how hard Chongzhen works, he can only end up in the southeast branch of himself in the end, leaving a sad and lamentable history, but there is an extra bloody epic.

But now I have come by myself to change everything that is thick and rotten, starting from Zhuozhou City first, starting from the top of this city.

There were screams from the top of the city all night, and the people outside the city were also terrified all night. It was so abnormal that no soldier rushed out of the city until dawn.

The two guardians of the White Lotus Sect outside the city also discussed for a whole night, but in the end they broke up unhappy.

"Junior Sister! Are you really going to let him go like this?" Xu Mao asked a little dissatisfied. The night wind howled, blowing away the heat of the day, making people feel a little cooler all over.

Standing on the small hill, Yang Ling looked at the city of Zhuozhou, whether it was right or wrong for her to choose to believe him.Perhaps when her senior brother raised the banner ahead of time and made noise because of revenge, she had nowhere to go, even if it was a straw, she had to grab it, so she had to make this risky move.

What about him!Will it succeed, or will be caught and beheaded.

Seeing that Yang Ling was just staring at Zhuozhou City in a daze, she thought she was thinking about how to attack the city tomorrow, so she continued: "Junior Sister! Don't think so much, the ladder has been built, and I will attack the city tomorrow! I can't take it down!" , let’s just run away, this is Zhuozhou, the gate of the capital, if there is any commotion, it’s a great achievement.”

"But you never thought that how many innocent people will be implicated by the imperial court's anger, are they just stepping stones for you to climb up?" Yang Ling was interrupted several times by Xu Mao, suddenly a little annoyed, and sarcastically said mercilessly.

Xu Mao was not angry but happy, and said earnestly: "Junior Sister! Since ancient times, one general has been successful and his bones are dead. How can people not be killed in war? It's just that these people are stupid. They can leave. I didn't stop them. I just wanted to leave." It's greedy, they all want to go to the city to pull fat pigs to eat rich people."

Xu Maoyue became more excited as he spoke, dancing with his arms and legs: "You haven't seen how vicious these people are. The villages around a few miles away have been ruined. I saw a thin old man with my own eyes during the day, and he kept leading us the way. Running at the forefront, breaking into the house of a mother and child, killing the child with a sharpened bamboo, and raped the mother who wanted to protect her son... There are too many such things, and this troubled world has picked up the knife No one is innocent, you and I are no exception."

Looking at the excited Xu Mao and listening to what he saw and heard, Yang Ling felt disgusted in his heart, and waved his hand and said, "Go away, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Xu Mao taunted: "In addition to your martial arts being a bit higher than mine, your prestige is a bit better than me, but you still lack one thing I have. It is because I have it that I am not a woman, and I can be cruel."

Yang Ling stood on the hill obsessively, feeling her body was getting cold, so she moved and walked slowly towards the tent in the mountain depression. I really hope he can succeed!Not many people will die by then.

The sun was hanging high, the gates of the city were closed tightly, and the scorching sun made the people outside the city lazy. They just wanted to find a cool place to take a good rest.

One of Xu Mao's confidantes came to Xu Mao's side, and whispered: "Guardian, it's such a hot day, if you don't attack the city after lunch, maybe it will be cooler by then."

Another confidant came over and said in agreement: "That's right! Dharma protector, it's such a hot day, and it's such a high city wall. If you climb up, many people will suffer from heat stroke and fall off! I just went to a village far away. The village is quite big, there are more than 100 households, and there is still smoke, so I just went there to settle my lunch."

Xu Mao was wearing a decent set of Eight Banners armor. His horse was tall and muscular, and his body was gray and white. These equipments were captured by the Golden Cavalrymen. It was so hot that he couldn't bear it, so he took them off. Cotton armor, shirtless, glanced at his confidant angrily.

He said dissatisfiedly: "The two women you found for me before are both vulgar fans, who are you looking for this time, don't be some ordinary people, you have to know what kind of women you want after entering the city." There are no beauties, so don’t mention ordinary ones.”

"Absolutely beautiful, only a little worse than the eight protectors, but with the same beautiful eyes as the eight protectors, and they are twin sisters." One person said with a smirk.

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's go first and let her go to attack the city!" When Xu Mao thought of the twin sisters, he didn't know whether it was the scorching hot weather or his anger. up.

Is this the peasant army?The siege equipment has been built, but why is it still not attacking the city at this time? Is it because I want to wait for the people on the top of the city to get sunburned, or there are other plans.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhu Gan began to have difficulties with these White Lotus Sect who did not play cards according to common sense. Should he go out to fight in the city, or stick to the city gate?But first, you must maximize your own interests.
