Chapter 45 Section 18

Zheng Sichu was dumbfounded for a while.He lowered his head and murmured to himself: "I also understand the truth. But what's the point of killing so many people?" Cheng Diwen was stopped by his question, laughed dryly twice, and said, "You stopped me by asking this question, and I didn't think about it." Zheng Sichu stretched out his hand.In the past few days, there have been several vicious battles, and some calluses have been ground on the palm of his hand.He said softly: "Diwen, when I came here, I still wanted to make contributions in the army. At that time, I only knew that I should be a sympathetic soldier for the generals, share the joys and sorrows, and show no mercy to the enemy. However, now I feel more and more that war is meaningless I have also killed a lot of people, and seeing those people die under my knife and gun, I thought, what crime did they commit and they must die, can they not kill people?"

He kept these words in his heart all the time, and he dared not say them in front of Bi Wei, only in front of Cheng Diwen.Cheng Diwen was taken aback. He always thought that Zheng Sichu was as strong as iron, but he didn't know that he was so painful in his heart.He reached out and patted Zheng Sichu on the shoulder, and said: "There is a saying that you are not in the position and do not plan for the government. You must have heard of it? These headaches should be given to those who should think about them. We all Soldiers, just follow orders." He said so, but Cheng Diwen thought to himself: "Father said that if you think a lot, you will suffer a lot. It's really good."

"Failed?" An unconcealable despondency flashed in Xingchu's eyes.This attack was really a two-pronged attack. She didn't think that both groups of troops would be successful, but she always felt that the assassination by the surprise soldier was very sure.Bi Wei thought he had a trick, and deliberately gave himself the empty door. This time, he used the trick and it really made him swallow the bitter fruit. He didn't expect that the assassination would get nothing. Instead, the sneak attack on the enemy's luggage that he didn't think would be successful before was successful. A little half.

Wrong, wrong!She regretted secretly in her heart.If they can burn all the food and supplies of the Republican Army this time, then they will be chaotic without fighting, and their side will win this battle.But I overestimated the enemy's reaction, always thinking that the Republican Army would do its best to protect the luggage, so that I missed the opportunity. Next, the enemy will definitely launch a siege battle, and as autumn is approaching, the enemy will definitely end the war before winter, and the next battle will definitely be extremely tragic.Thinking of this, Xingchu's heart ached like a needle prick.She grew up in the army since she was a child, and she has seen many fierce battles. She has seen many familiar elders die in battle, and she knows the horror of war even more.

Subdue without fighting.She looked at the sky in a daze, and remembered what Chu Shuai said to herself back then.The highest state of the military strategist is to subdue the enemy without fighting. I also try my best to do this. The enemy obviously wants to do this, but both sides have failed.Now, a frontal battle is inevitable. Even if the enemy can be repelled this time, the Republican Army will never give up, and reinforcements will arrive soon. The best way now is to go away and find another way out, right?But she knew that Cao Wendao would never agree to this suggestion.What is the enemy planning now?

She sat down, lost in thought.Seeing that Chu Shuai was distracted, the team leader didn't dare to leave, and said in a low voice, "Chu Shuai..." Xing Chu looked up at him, and said, "Is there anything else?" "Bi Wei was rescued by a young general named Zheng Sichu." Hearing these three words, Xingchu shuddered all over, stood up immediately, and said, "You killed him?" The team officer didn't expect Chu Shuai's reaction to be so strong, and hurriedly said, "Chu Shuai, do you know him?" him?" Xing Chu shook his head and said, "I don't know him. Did you kill him?"

The team officer said with a bitter face: "No, this young man is not very old, but he is very capable, and his shots are fierce. Three of the five swords will die in his hands. I can't kill him." Xing Chu felt a chill in his heart.When my father mentioned this Zheng Sichu to himself, he didn't take it seriously. However, in his two surprise attacks, this person appeared at the most critical moment. What kind of person is this person? The team officer said again: "But I took the knife he used. His knife is very good, extremely sharp, look at Chu Shuai." He took off the saber from his body and handed it to Xingchu with both hands .

The original knife was taken out, and what was inserted inside was an invisible knife.Because the invisible knife is thinner and shorter than ordinary knives, it is a bit empty when pulled out.Xing Chu pulled out half of it to look at it, and praised: "It's really a good knife." "Chu Shuai, you can use this knife. I hope you can kill this beast and avenge us." This team officer also boasted that his saber skills were unrivaled, but this time it was a complete defeat, he even took an arrow in his leg, and he was extremely angry with Zheng Sichu in his heart.Xing Chu said: "Okay, don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely use this Zheng Sichu's head as a sacrifice to the heroic spirits of the fallen soldiers."

After seeing off the team officers, Xing Chu took two steps in the room, and said to the maid next to him: "Xiaohui, prepare the horse for me, I'm going to visit the city." The maid Xiaohui said: "Shuai Chu, it's time for dinner..." Xing Chu smiled faintly: "The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, a dinner is nothing." The sky furnace was closed, and many soldiers of the Wude Battalion were eating food.Unlike the Republican Army, Wude Camp has a base camp behind them, so their food is very good, with meat and rice, steaming hot.In comparison, the camp of the Republican Army in the distance looked much more depressed.When the soldiers on the top of the city saw Xing Chu, they all stood at attention to greet him, and the morale of the whole army was very high.In today's battle, although the outcome was not decided, but a small half of the enemy's luggage was burned down, which is considered to have achieved the goal, and the soldiers of Wude Battalion are more confident in winning.

But Xingchu knew that the real battle was coming. She patrolled for a week, and Cao Wendao and Chen Zhong rushed over after hearing the news.The two of them led the team to charge today, and they are also stationed at the top of the city at this time.Cao Wendao's horse was fast, and when he arrived in front of Xingchu's horse, he immediately jumped off his horse and saluted, "Commander Chu, the last general Cao Wendao is very polite." Xing Chu was not used to Cao Wendao's excessive etiquette, so she jumped off the horse and said, "Uncle Cao, don't be too polite."

Cao Wendao still had a look of excitement on his face.He knew everything about the Republican Army and Bi Wei's methods. He knew that he was no match for him with his own abilities, so he was somewhat worried about Xingchu.But the war has passed for a few months, and the Wude Battalion did not lose the wind at all. Even when the enemy reinforcements arrived, they were able to take the initiative to attack, and the losses were minimal. He immediately became more confident, and felt that it was really a good idea to give up the position of commander to Xingchu. Do it right. Xing Chu said: "Uncle Cao, is there any change in the enemy army?" Cao Wendao frowned and said, "It's nothing else, but there is one thing I can't figure out. They are still pumping up the airship." The airship was just a tactic to lure the Wudeying out of the city. Xingchu had already seen through it, so the attack did not destroy the airship.But the Republican Army actually wanted to inflate the airship, and even she was a little confused.She took a telescope to look at it, and said, "Yeah, it's strange, is the airship really useful?" In Lang Yue Province, because of the thin air, it is difficult to even fly a plane to the sky.She also vaguely thought of this, and was very distressed, because if it was in the plains, the flying machine would have been successfully tested long ago.But can the airship of the Republican Army really fly into the sky? Xing Chu's heart skipped a beat.If the airship was not a tactic to lure the enemy, then his miscalculation at this step would be fatal.Although she couldn't help but panic in her heart, she remained calm as usual and said, "Uncle Cao, call the generals to discuss immediately." Cao Wendao said, "Are you in such a hurry?" "The Republican Army is likely to attack overnight!" Cao Wendao was taken aback, and said, "What? Are they so fast? Do they still have this ability?" The Wude Battalion launched an attack during the day, and the whole army was already attacking. Bi Wei will attack overnight. "Uncle Cao, I heard what you and Dad said about Bi Wei. This man is narrow-minded, good at strategizing, and doesn't care much about soldiers. He will probably attack overnight." Cao Wendao nodded and said, "Yes, Bi Wei is too small-minded." When he said this, he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.Back then, fighting side by side with the Four-Phase Legion, if Bi Wei hadn't been upset that Chu Shuai was in charge of the commander-in-chief and threatened the Shushui Legion to rebel at the most critical moment, I am afraid that the Republican Army would not exist. However, there are no "ifs" in history.
