Wanli 1592

Chapter 16 The Rebel An dares to speak out about life and death!

In the past, when foreign enemies invaded and attacked important towns that could not be attacked for a long time, they would use such reasons to persuade the defenders to surrender in Kaesong. Such things happened before when the Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, the Mongol Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing defeated the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Japan invaded China. , Threatening the lives of the people in the city, saying that if they do not surrender, the city will be massacred after the city is broken, and all the people in the city will die because of the guards, so as to occupy the moral high ground, threaten the guards, and cause huge psychological pressure on the guards .

So some guards gave up resistance and surrendered the city. The lives of the people in the city were indeed saved, but the city was lost, the defense line was breached, and the situation deteriorated sharply. The enemy army drove straight into the interior, and the country was in danger of subjugation. , People are often caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, the city is indeed lost; What matters is that tens of thousands of lives matter.

A very famous example, the Anshi Rebellion, Zhang Xun guarded Suiyang. In order to resist the Anshi rebels, he tried his best to keep Suiyang intact. He ate everything that could be eaten, including people. He held on for three years until the city was finally broken. The tens of thousands of people in the city were only a few hundred, and they were almost eaten up. Some people lamented Zhang Xun's integrity, while others criticized Zhang Xun's cruelty.

Xiao Ruxun really wanted to ask those who think that human life is more important, is it better to die as a citizen of the old country, or is it better to die as a slave to a subjugated country?
The Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and the non-resisting city was preserved, and then?The Mongolian Yuan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and the non-resisting city was preserved, and then?The Manchu Dynasty destroyed the Nanming Dynasty, and the non-resisting city was preserved, and then?Japan invaded China, and the non-resisting city was preserved, then what?
Someone once again said that it doesn’t matter whoever rules a family or a country, but oppresses the common people, and doesn’t treat the common people as human beings. Does it matter who becomes the ruler?Your court doesn't take us people seriously, why should we be buried for you?

That's it, three and a half of the four major civilizations in the ancient world were destroyed, and half of China was left. A piece of incense, XX people, quickly knelt on the beach, XX people, offering their daughters and mothers."

The remaining half is more interesting-"I am a villain, and today I am a hero of the scholar-officials. I died for loyalty, and death is like life!"

There is only one life, there is nothing wrong with those who cherish life, there is nothing wrong with cherishing life, anyone will cherish life, there are very few people who don't want their lives, almost none, but Xiao Ruxun often thinks of the desperate couplet left by the person who didn't want their lives— ——On the 10th day, he led allegiance to represent the people of the seventeen dynasties of the Taizu, [-] people died of righteousness, and stayed in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred miles.

There is nothing wrong with seeking to live, and there is nothing wrong with going to death, so who is wrong?

The court belongs to them, but the country belongs to us. What I guard is not a city, but a country.

With a long sigh, Xiao Ruxun was just about to say something, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed some changes in the soldiers at the top of the city. Looking around, Xiao Ruxun actually saw the confused eyes, the kind of bewildered eyes, as if the soldiers I felt that what this guy said made sense, and his eyes became weird.

Xiao Ruxun's heart trembled, he didn't wait any longer, he snatched a crossbow with his hands, aimed at the soldier under the city, and shot down the arrow, the arrow hit the soldier's throat, and in a split second, the soldier fell from the horse, died.

Everyone was stunned by this shocking change.

They all looked at Xiao Ruxun who had a serious expression on his face.

"Rebellious thief, dare to say that life and death are righteous! You don't even think about worshiping the traitor! How embarrassing it was to be chased and killed by the Mongols to Daming! Loyalty and unrighteousness! How can I be loyal and good in the city, how can I bend my knees to follow the thief and leave a reputation of infidelity and unrighteousness through the ages! Today, even if I die! I will also be famous in history! To be admired by future generations! Not by sons and grandchildren Poking the spine and scolding the traitor! You have to kneel in front of Zhonglie forever, and be scolded by future generations for thousands of years!!"

Xiao Ruxun opened his throat and yelled at the rebels on the city wall. His name will be infamous for thousands of years and he will be scolded by future generations, which instantly made all the soldiers on the city stare wide awake.

The history has left a bad reputation for thousands of years, everyone is a small person, and they don't care.

But Xiao Ruxun thought, if future generations ask why they are not loyal, and if they are hated by their parents and family members, just like Hong Chengchou, would it be okay?

How many people still don't know about Qin Hui kneeling in front of Lord Yue?How many people do not know?Qingshan is lucky, but Baitie is innocent?

"Soldiers, today, I will lead the battle to the death. If the thief comes, I will fight to the death! I take a step back, and you can all behead me! Take a step back, the steel knife in my hand doesn't recognize our fellowship! Military order Here, those who refuse to accept! Cut off!!”

With a dark face, Xiao Ruxun drew out his waist knife and slashed at the city wall. The hearts of all the soldiers were awe-inspiring, and they no longer had the heart to retreat by chance.

"promise!!"

The soldiers at the top of the city yelled in unison, and the sound spread hundreds of steps away, stunned by Qi Yun and the others who were observing the situation not far away.

"He...he won't surrender?"

Xiao Yun turned his head to look at Xiao Yong who was also dumbfounded.

"Didn't he just say...he...he...general...I...we..."

Xiao Yun stayed there for a while before realizing that he had been tricked. Not only had he been tricked, but he had also been demoralized in the army. The morale of the Ming army in the city was greatly boosted, and the situation changed.

At this thought, Xiao Yun, who is brave and good at fighting, is so proud that his face and neck are all red. The red is terrible, which makes Xiao Yong a little worried, worried that he will see blood oozing from Xiao Yun's face and neck in the next second. !
"Siege!!! His grandma! How dare you play me!!! Xiao Ruxun! I'm going to cut you into pieces!!!"

Hearing Xiao Yun's roar, Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, his face paled in shock: "General, general, no, no... Ah——"

Xiao Yunfei kicked Xiao Yun two or three meters away, and Xiao Yong fell to the ground, dying, and no one dared to question Xiao Yun's decision.

The [-] cavalry retreated, and more than [-] infantry slowly lined up under the leadership of each thousand generals, and took up an offensive posture. Large-scale siege weapons such as artillery, rockets, and bed crossbows were readily available. The rebels had two thousand bows. The crossbow formation moved in formation, and the sword, shield and spearmen carried the ladders, preparing to ascend the city for hand-to-hand combat.

"General, the bandit army will attack the city soon, please come down to the city, general!"

Wang Hui stepped forward, wanting Xiao Ruxun to go to a safe place.

Xiao Ruxun glared at Wang Hui: "This general said, if I take a step back, anyone can behead me! In this case, if the bandits don't retreat, the general will not retreat! Send the order! Reload the ammunition of the Frang machine guns! Unified fire! Don't Wait for the bandit army to line up! I will strike first!"

Wang Hui was shocked, looked at the position of the rebels, and hurriedly said: "General! The distance is too far, we can't hit it! The range of the Fran's machine gun is more than one mile, and it is obviously impossible to hit it from here."

Xiao Ruxun observed the position of the rebels, then half-raised his hand wall to 45 degrees, and ordered: "Raise the muzzle of the gun, as if my arm is on the ground, we will live on the high wall, raise the gun The course will improve, so let’s take a look at the specific situation first! There’s nothing to talk about with the rebels!”

Wang Hui had no choice but to do so, ordering a cannon to raise the muzzle a little, and then ordered the gunner to fire.

With a bang, the cannon fired, and the cannonball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, slightly tilted, and hit directly between the two cannons of the rebels. People were killed, and there were many casualties among the crossbowmen gathered around them preparing to line up, which made the Ming army and the rebels stunned together.

"it is good!"

Xiao Ruxun yelled, and ordered: "Gunners obey orders! Raise the muzzle! Fire!!"

Wang Hui looked happy, and immediately raised the flag: "The gunner obeys the order! Raise the muzzle! Load the ammunition!!"
