Chapter 52 another ending

At this time, there was another loud bang, but the Republican Army that rushed to the top of the city also blew up the remaining cannon.At this time, there was cheering outside the city, and the Republican Army flooded into the city like a tide. The surrounding Wude Battalion soldiers were still fighting to the death, with blood splattering and more and more casualties.Xing Chu retreated to Chen Zhong's side, protected Chen Zhong and fought while leaving.At this time, the Wude Battalion still had 6,000 to 7,000 people gathered at the gate of the city, which was comparable to the Republican Army for a while, but the Republican Army continued to increase, and the defeat of the Wude Battalion was irreversible.

The deputy general had already snatched it over, and said, "Staff Zheng, are you alright? I told you to use the dragon chariot..." Zheng Sichu pulled out the small knife on his wrist. This knife was only one finger long. It must have been used to cut meat when eating. It didn't go too deep into the meat. When it hit the chest, it was blocked by the ribs, so it probably didn't hurt the lungs. .He pressed the knife wound on his chest, coughed, and said: "Fortunately, I can bear it." He looked at Chen Xingchu and Chen Zhong in the Wude Camp. Both of them were covered with blood, but still I don't know what it's like to command soldiers to fight to the death.

At this time, the sky is already bright, the dawn is just emerging on the horizon, and the morning light is faint, and the scene behind can be seen.Zheng Sichu never imagined that there would be such a world behind Tianlu Pass, dotted with lakes, with wheat fields in between, almost like the scenery on the south bank of the great river. However, this seemingly peaceful land is now soaked in blood. The Republican Army was still advancing, and the Wude Battalion was fighting and retreating. The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Under the corner, the Republican Army did not dare to get too close for a while.In front is a large area of ​​houses, which were built by Wudeying for many years. Rows of houses are row upon row, very neat.Wudeying retreated to these downstairs and never left again. From those houses, the cries of women and children could already be heard.

That's the base camp of the Wude Camp.Zheng Sichu was thinking, and suddenly heard Bi Wei's voice behind him: "Warriors of the Republic, you have succeeded!" He turned his head, only to see Bi Wei and Fang Ruoshui coming in together.It's just that Bi Wei was in high spirits, but Fang Ruoshui's smile was somewhat bitter.Although the battle was won, Fang Ruoshui's army suffered a huge loss, and nearly one-third of its staff was reduced before and after. Hearing Bi Wei's voice, some of the officers who led the army to the front all stepped forward to salute, saying: "I have seen General Bi, General Fang."

Bi Wei rode up to Zheng Sichu, smiled and said, "Officer Zheng, are you injured?" Zheng Sichu said: "It's not a hindrance." But although he said he was not a hindrance, the wound on his chest hurt again.Bi Wei shouted: "You're still bleeding! Medical officer, come quickly and bandage Staff Officer Zheng!" Zheng Sichu felt exhausted all over his body, so he supported himself and said: "General Bi, I will finally complete the task of opening the way." After all these hardships, he finally tore through the defense line of the Wude Battalion, and he was somewhat proud of it.

"Good job." Bi Wei still had a smile on his face, and rode forward again, calling: "General Chen, Chen Zhong! Are you still there?" A shrill voice came from the remnants of the Wude Battalion: "My Commander Chen Xingchu, congratulations to General Bi for his victory." Chen Xingchu's voice was full of sarcasm.Bi Wei laughed and said, "It turns out that the commander-in-chief has really changed. No wonder I heard that there is a Chushuai. Unfortunately, you are a fake Chushuai." Chen Xingchu said: "That's right, otherwise you would be surrounded now, General Bi."

But Bi Wei didn't think it was disobedient, and still smiled slightly, as if he wanted to say something more. At this time, there was a muffled thunder from a distance. Bi Wei looked at the sky, paused, and said seriously: "This general has the virtue of being good at life. Marshal Chen, the Wude Camp has been living in Langyue Province for many years, if you know your way back, obey the fate, and surrender to our army, then there is still a way to survive, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Zheng Sichu breathed a sigh of relief.What he was most afraid of was that after breaking the city, Bi Wei ordered to kill all the prisoners. Hearing what Bi Wei said, it seemed that he also intended to be recruited.Regardless of whether Bi Wei has any selfish intentions, if he can stop killing people, it will be a blessing.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smiled wryly.Although Chen Zhong hurt his Fei Yu and Xing Chu cut off his white wood spear, he still hated them in his heart.

Just the same people.he thought.They are all the same people, but they have different beliefs, so they become enemies. What's the point of this? Chen Xingchu pondered for a while, and said, "Is what General Bi said true?" Bi Wei said: "Bi Wei speaks a lot, and there is absolutely no falsehood!" Chen Zhong suddenly shouted: "Nonsense! Bi Wei, you also swore at the beginning that you would wipe out the rebels of the Republic. Why did you become a rebel yourself today?" Both Bi Wei and Fang Ruoshui's old department knew what happened back then, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard Chen Zhong scolding so badly.Bi Wei didn't even change his face, and said: "This moment, that moment. Now our army has surrounded you all. If you refuse to surrender, then you will charge!"

As he was speaking, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, as if to cheer for his words, heavy rain poured down.It rarely rains in Langyue Province, and this rain is also very rare. Bi Wei stood in the rain like a god. After a while, Chen Zhong suddenly said weakly: "Okay, Bi Wei, you won." Bi Wei laughed loudly and said: "Chen Zhong, destiny is like a tide. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. The Wude Camp is not ineffective in fighting. Ha! Ha! Ha!" he said at last, his voice growing louder.Zheng Sichu looked at him as if he was looking at some monster, he couldn't tell what it was like, he was admiring, afraid, and envious.

When Bi Wei returned, the Wude Battalion sent a special envoy to discuss the matter of accepting the surrender. It was agreed that the entire army of the Wude Battalion would be disarmed today, and the general would join the Republican Army as a hostage, and the formal acceptance of the surrender would be held tomorrow. After the rain, the sky became clearer. Xingchu stood in front of the army with his hands behind his back, and Chen Zhong stood behind her and said, "Xingchu, are you really going to be a hostage?" Xing Chu nodded, and said: "Otherwise, they won't believe it." She turned around and said indifferently: "Father, the child is incompetent, and I should pay the price for the defeat of Wu De Ying."

Chen Zhongdao: "I can't blame you, I don't believe anyone in the world can win such a battle—unless it is him." Speaking of this, his eyes became even more sad.Maybe that person is still alive in this world, but he must be heartbroken. For Wudeying, that person is already dead. Xing Chu stretched out his hand to stroke his temple hair.She has always been dressed in military uniform, and only this action shows her full femininity.She knelt down on one leg to Chen Zhong, and said, "Father, forgive me for being unfilial. But father, you said that as long as a person never gives up on his ideals, even if he fails, he will not regret it." Chen Zhong didn't say anything more, he stretched out his hand to stroke Xingchu's hair, and a few more tears fell from his eyes. The sun is setting on the mountain, and countless stars have appeared on the sky to the east.The terrain of Langyue Province is high and steep. Looking at the night sky here, the stars seem to be much bigger.The sky full of stars seems to be hanging in the air, forcing a waning moon to be dimmed.Xing Chu saluted Chen Zhong for the last time, put on his helmet and walked towards the camp of the Republican Army. Chen Zhong looked at her back with tears streaming down his face. Although all the firearms have been handed over, Xingchu has already prepared a secret path, through which he can cross the mountain and head northwest.That place is said to be thousands of times larger than Langyue Province, with fertile land, beautiful water, and abundant products. There, Wudeying will definitely find a place to settle down.However, Xing Chu was no longer there. A lieutenant came up silently, stood beside Chen Zhong, and whispered: "General Chen, Shuai Chu is right. The Republican Army is indeed preparing firearms. It seems that they want to catch us all. General Chen, get ready to leave. " Chen Zhong wiped away the tears from his eyes, and whispered: "Okay, let the women and children go first. Once the rebels find out, the whole army will resist with all their strength, and the women and children must be let out." The lieutenant saluted and said: "Of order." Chen Zhong didn't say anything, just touched his waist knife. Now the long soldiers have been disarmed, and only these short knives are left around.But as long as Wudeying is still there, hope is still there. Suddenly something lit up in the corner of his eyes, and when he looked up, there was a meteor flying down towards the northwest corner in the sky.This star has sharp edges and corners, showing its sharpness, Chen Zhong's heart suddenly ached, his nostrils were sore, and tears were about to come out of his eyes again.He raised his head, let the wind blow on his face, and let out a long breath. The west is still as red as blood, but the night in the east is full of stars.Every star is dazzlingly bright, dragging a long line of light, like billions of long swords.
