Chapter 46 Section 19

As the dusk grew thicker, the airship had bulged up, but the ropes holding the airship were still loose. It seemed that even if nothing was hung, the airship would not fly too high. Zheng Sichu walked around the airship and was watching when a soldier of Bi Wei came over and said, "Officer Zheng, General Bi invites you to come over." Bi Wei was nearby, and behind him were soldiers of the Fire Legion neatly lined up.Zheng Sichu rode over, bowed to Bi Wei, and said, "General Bi, the last general is polite." Bi Wei is wearing a helmet and armor, and a long knife is placed in front of the horse, which is extremely mighty.Looking at Zheng Sichu, Bi Wei smiled slightly and said, "Officer Zheng, how is your injury?"

Zheng Sichu said: "It's nothing serious." Although it was said that there was nothing serious, his right arm was still aching, and it seemed that his strength was only half of what it was when he was not injured. Bi Wei smiled again and said, "Come on, let's take a look at the warriors I have selected. Qiu Chongwu, come here to see Staff Officer Zheng." That Qiu Chongwu was very small, not only him, but the five warriors were all small, each of them was quite capable.But Zheng Sichu also felt that it was not very sure that these five people were going to blow up the two giant cannons.In front of Bi Wei, he naturally didn't dare to say more, but said to Qiu Chongwu: "General Qiu is dedicated to the country, he is really a loyal soldier of our Republican Army."

These five daredevils must have gone and never returned, but Qiu Chongwu didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "Sacrificing for the country is the duty of the citizens of our republic. General Bi, please wait for the good news." Bi Wei said: "Okay. In another hour, we can set off." In another hour, there will be dead bodies all over the place when the sky furnace is closed. Zheng Sichu was troubled for a while.When he set off, he also felt that sacrifice for the country was inevitable. His teacher in the military academy also said that he should treat the enemy as ruthlessly as severe winter, so he was merciless in his own actions.But what exactly is the enemy?Killing the enemy, what can be exchanged for it?

What is a republic if it must be founded on millions of dead bodies?How is it different from a family empire? Naturally, Bi Wei didn't notice that Zheng Sichu was thinking about this, and said to Qiu Chongwu, "General Qiu, hurry up and get ready. Once the giant cannon is blown up, the whole army will rush up immediately, so this must be done at all costs." Task!" Qiu Chongwu saluted and ran towards the airship.Because the lift of the airship is not enough, there is no gondola underneath at all, but a few rope nets are woven with ropes to allow people to sit on it.At this time, the airship had already swelled with steam, and the fire below had already extinguished, only a few small torches were lit in the army, and the reflections on people's faces flickered, like ghosts.

Bi Wei looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "God help me! Today is a good opportunity for a surprise attack because there are no stars and no moon." It seldom rains in Lang Yue Province, but now it is covered with thick clouds, and it seems that there will be a heavy rain soon.If the heavy rain came, it would be even more difficult for the Republican Army to launch an offensive, but now it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The airship flew silently in the air, and they might not even notice it when they reached the top of the city. Zheng Sichu also looked at the sky.The night was getting darker, and it was as dark as a deep pool, unfathomable.He didn't dare to think about how many people would die tonight.At this time, suddenly the corner of his eyes lit up, and he saw a bright spot passing by in the distance.

Is it a shooting star?He was a little surprised.But this bright spot is drawn from the bottom to the top from the back of Tianlu Pass, and it is only when it rises to the middle that it disappears.Seeing this bright spot, Bi Wei laughed and said, "Okay, dare to fight, let's go!" Qiu Chongwu and his five brave fighters jumped onto the airship. Soldiers below cut off the tethers, and the airship rose slowly.Zheng Sichu's heart suddenly brightened, and he said, "General Bi, has a surprise attack team arrived behind Tianlu Pass?" Bi Wei also seemed surprised, but he was more relieved, and said, "You finally guessed it? I checked the terrain every day for the past two days, and I heard from the villagers of Yatan Village that there is a road that goes around Tianluguan. I just discovered the trail today. Haha, Lin Shanyang’s 800 people have successfully turned to the back. As long as the sky furnace is turned off and the fire is on, they will rush forward immediately. Even if the two giant cannons are not blown up by then, there is no need to be afraid. "

Zheng Sichu suddenly realized, and it wasn't until then that he understood Bi Wei's real intentions.For him, the airship is still a feint, and the real means is the surprise attack team of 800 people!The strategy is indeed a good one, but this kind of risky raid is too risky. If you win, you will win big, if you lose, you will lose big, and the loss will be huge. Zheng Sichu said: "However, General Lin's surprise attack team is not large in number, so it is very difficult to succeed." Bi Wei said: "That's why Fang Ruoshui made a frontal attack and gathered the enemy's army in the pass."

Zheng Sichu's heart was getting colder and colder.In order to conceal his intentions, Bi Wei actually ordered the whole army to launch a strong attack. I am afraid that when Lin Shanyang's surprise attack team succeeds, the Republican Army will suffer huge casualties first.He shouted: "In that case, I'm afraid General Fang's troops will suffer heavy casualties." Bi Wei said sternly: "For the sake of the Republic, sacrifice is inevitable." After he finished this sentence, he added: "Officer Zheng, a soldier must have a heart of stone. A soldier of the Republic sacrifices for the country, and that is a worthy death. Die with honor!"

Hearing Bi Wei say the word "death" two times in a row, cold sweat broke out on Zheng Sichu's forehead.Bi Wei's strategy did not care about the life and death of the soldiers at all, and he also did not hold back against the enemy. In this battle, no matter whether he won or lost, thousands of people will die in the battle. Bi Wei said: "Officer Zheng, after breaking through Tianlu Pass, I will give you command of the Fire Dragon convoy. Kill the enemy well, and don't insult your father's name! Haha." That is the credit that Bi Wei gave to himself.Zheng Sichu thought.The fire dragon chariot cleared the way, the flames were raging, and the Wude Camp could not stop it at all, I am afraid that there will be no survivors.Just as he was about to resign, Bi Wei shouted: "Come on, bring the criminal army up and sacrifice the flag!"

Before Zheng Sichu knew what had happened, two of Bi Wei's personal soldiers had already escorted a soldier over.Bi Wei looked around and shouted: "Zhang Peng, who committed the crime, do you know the crime?" The soldier named Zhang Peng was tied tightly, fell to his knees, and cried: "General Bi, I have a wife and children in my family. I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die!" Bi Wei's face was livid, and he shouted: "Sacrificing for the country is the bounden duty of a soldier. Those who escaped will be dealt with by military law! Someone, bring my banner!"

Zhang Peng was so frightened that he hissed strangely: "General Bi, please spare me! I am willing to be a brave soldier, and I dare not escape again!" It was only then that Zheng Sichu realized that Zhang Peng must have escaped from battle and was captured after being designated as a brave warrior.He wanted to intercede for Zhang Peng, but when he saw Bi Wei's bearded face, he was too frightened to speak.Bi Wei shouted loudly: "It's late!" He took up the big knife and slashed it down.Zhang Peng still had to struggle, but the knife was like thunder, with a flash of light, Zhang Peng's head flew straight up, and blood spurted out wildly, all sprinkled on the battle flag in front of Bi Wei's horse. Bi Wei beheaded Zhang Peng, took the blood-stained flag from the flag officer, waved it in the air, and shouted: "Warriors in the army, the battle is imminent, and those who retreat before the battle, follow this example, behead!" His roar was extremely loud, and the entire army of the Fire Legion stood at attention, and said in a low voice, "Obey!" Zheng Sichu was standing next to Bi Wei, a few drops of blood spilled on Zheng Sichu's face, and one drop was still splashed on the corner of his mouth.He reached out to wipe it away, not knowing what it was like in his heart. Salty.he thought.Blood tastes the same no matter who it comes from.
