The cold prince and the little princess

Chapter 211

The officers and soldiers standing on the city tower had never seen such an angry crowd. They rushed to report, and one of them couldn't help muttering: "What's the matter today? The city gate has never been opened. Why are these lunatics here?" Request to open the city gate at this time?"

"The people in the city are also getting irritable now. I really don't understand what happened." The soldier standing beside him said rather worriedly.

This is definitely not a good sign.

"The boss has come to order. If these mobs make any moves, they will throw stones down and see who dares to move." A soldier trotted up the tower, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the already The frozen soldiers.

Let them attack the common people. The common people don't have hard shields to block their attacks. Wouldn't it be equivalent to killing a bunch of people with this blow?
"I, Liu San, will never do anything to our people! This is not the duty of a soldier. Our duty is to defend our home and country, but now we are killing each other and asking me to kill these innocent people. What is this all about? Something?" A thick-eyed soldier puffed out his chest and said loudly, "I don't obey this order, if any of you can't do it, come down with me and find the boss to argue!"

What Liu San said made the soldiers' blood boil. They are just the bottom soldiers and cannot decide the decisions above, but if they are asked to fight against unarmed civilians, they cannot do anything.

"Liu San, we all understand what you said. We are just soldiers. What a soldier has to do is to obey, absolutely obey. If the boss gives an order, even if you go to him to reason, he will definitely turn a deaf ear to it, and even use it as an excuse." I will punish you for violating discipline." The soldier who conveyed the order lowered his head and said in a low voice.

His words also expressed the thoughts of a small number of people.

The danger is coming, they are at the forefront, and they have never had their share in rewarding meritorious deeds. In the entire army, they have the least right to speak, let alone go to the boss to argue, that is just Hitting an egg against a rock is sure to kill you.

The soldiers began to look at each other, and fell silent for a while.

The commotion under the city tower also became louder, and the city gate was knocked loudly by some common people.

Liu San rushed to the top of the tower and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me, please? You are so excited now, something will happen! We don't want to embarrass you, but there is an order from above, and you must not open it under any circumstances." The city gate! We are just soldiers, what we can do is to defend this place and prevent any foreign invading forces from taking advantage of it!"

The people below couldn't listen to these words at all, as soon as Liu San's voice fell, the old woman who rushed to the front raised the crutches in her hands with trembling hands and said loudly: "We are going into the city! "

The others immediately echoed.

"Why can't everyone be quiet? If you persist for a while, the war will end soon." Liu San continued to persuade.

"You rebels, as long as you occupy Dezhou City and don't let go, this war will never end!" Among the crowd, that loud voice sounded again at the right time.

"Yes, it is because of you rebels that made us displaced and homeless!" The old woman tried her best, raised the crutch in her hand, and slammed into the city gate, "Everyone is fighting, instead of If you starve to death here, you might as well rush into the city!"

Liu San looked helplessly at the mess underneath. If this continues, the situation will only become more chaotic.

"What are you waiting for? I told you to throw stones down, don't you understand?" A majestic voice sounded out of thin air. A general of medium stature came to the top of the tower and glanced at the situation below the tower. "Are you going to wait for these people to start holding torches and throwing them on this tower before you plan to do it?"

On Liu San's face, there was a look of embarrassment: "But they are innocent people after all."

"People! If no one instigated them, would these people be so irritable? Don't even think about it! It's been so many days, why is it happening until today? There may be other conspiracy behind this, I will say again, Immediately throw stones down at me, the more the better, and smash all these mobs to death, as an example to others!"

Liu San hesitated, but some soldiers obeyed his order and pushed a small cart with stones.

"Throw it quickly!" the general ordered without hesitation, "Can I teach you how to throw rocks down?"

Liu San suddenly became ruthless, his body tensed and stiff: "The majority of those people are just old and weak women and children, and they are not aggressive at all. When I see them, I can't help but think of my parents and daughter-in-law. I can't do it! Let me ask! If the general and your relatives are mixed in, would you still order it? Would you have such a cruel idea?"

As soon as the voice fell, Liu San was slapped severely on the face by the general, "Drag this disobedient person to me, and hit him with fifty army sticks! Whoever dares to disobey my order will end up here!" Just like him!"

Everyone was shocked, if the [-] army sticks go down, if the executioner hits harder and only hits halfway, the person who was beaten will probably only have half his life. Doesn't this mean that Liu San is going to die?
Some timid ones already lifted a stone, closed their eyes, and threw it down the tower, not daring to look at the situation below.

"These officers and soldiers are going to beat us unarmed civilians to death, everyone, run away!" Someone in the crowd screamed and ran forward like crazy.

For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.

The people who were hit were all bleeding and howling all over the floor.

This situation only lasted for a while, when the crossbowmen led by Xuanyuan Che saw that the time had come, countless sharp arrows were fired towards the tower, like a big net, engulfing all the people on the tower.

But Liu San, who happened to be taken down at this time, escaped the attack instead.

"The tower is on fire! Hurry up and fetch water to put out the fire!" The general rushed down the tower first, and stopped the soldiers who were about to escape with him: "You guys continue to guard, look down Throwing stones must be someone from King Rui's side, and they must stay here, otherwise the city gate will fall."

In desperation, the soldiers had no choice but to hunker down and bite the bullet to go up the tower again. Everyone was looking for a place to hide. King Rui's crossbowmen were all carefully selected, one in a million good shooters.

"We can't wait like this anymore, the city gate will be opened sooner or later!" Liu San suddenly appeared in front of everyone: "Don't you still understand? Whether we are defeated or won, we will not have a good life Pass,"

"Liu San, what are you going to do?" Someone asked.

"Open the city gate and let King Rui's army come over." Liu San got up, and the flames above the tower imprinted his righteous expression, "We are rebels now, and we are not popular among the people. The common people regard us as scourges. Our side won, so what? Bearing such infamy, do you live in peace?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, they objected: "The winner is the king. As long as we win, who cares who we used to be?"

General Liu San raised his head, "Then you should touch your conscience and follow the general who told you to point your knife at the common people. Will you all have a good death?"

As soon as his words fell, countless bows and arrows shot straight at them. This time, the arrows had no sparks at their tips, and they came straight towards them, the soldiers guarding the tower.

The little soldiers who came up with buckets struggled to put out the fire, and even dodged the bows and arrows that flew from time to time. The tower was already in chaos at this time, and the timid ones rushed down the tower desperately. They would rather be deserters than He was forced to die on the top of the city tower.But there are the general's confidantes guarding them below, they have no way to escape, they can only stick to the tower, this is their fate, if they die, they will die at the forefront.

"If you want to survive, just resist. There are only ten soldiers guarding below, but all of them are one level higher than us, so we are so afraid. How many people are here, count them, five people deal with one, it is difficult If we fail, are we afraid that they will fail? They want us to die here, knowing that the upper levels will definitely be burned to death or shot to death by random arrows, should we still go up? Brothers, don’t worry about it so much, just go down.” Liu San threw his helmet on the ground, "From now on, we are no longer soldiers of the Ning army, we have to find a way to survive by ourselves!"

The soldiers were already furious when they heard this, and imitated his actions, threw down their helmets, and rushed down the tower with the spears in their hands high. The belief in wanting to live made their eyes reveal an unprecedented Seeing this formation, the ten high-level soldiers knew that the group of soldiers above had decided to turn against them, so they turned around and ran away.

The city gate was also forcibly opened by Liu Sanyi and others at this time. Xuanyuan Che did not expect the city gate to open so quickly. Bai Yuchen led the other soldiers to observe all this in the dark. Che's order, he did not dare to rush in easily.

"Could there be deceit?" Xuanyuan Che thought in his heart. He couldn't see the movement on the tower very clearly, but there was no one on it. This can be confirmed. Could it be that there is civil strife?

He didn't immediately order the army to go forward, but stayed where he was and waited and watched.

He also needs a fulcrum, a fulcrum to excite his troops.

Dozens of people ran out of the city gate, and the leader shouted: "They told us to point our knives at innocent people. With such a general, how can we ordinary soldiers survive? Run away!" "

At this time, the city gate was about to be closed, and a large number of archers appeared on the tower: "Quick, shoot these deserters to death!"
