The messenger made the meaning clear and wanted Zhang Biwu to take the initiative to ask for the battle.

Lu Rongzhe was injured, so of course he could not fight. The remaining Zhang Biwu, Qin Dongsheng, Liu Fang and Zhang Yi could fight. Zhang Biwu looked at Qin Dongsheng, Liu Fang and Zhang Yi, all of whom were silent. Obviously, the three of them did not want to go.

Zhang Biwu did not answer. He came to Xiaoxi's grave. When he buried Xiaoxi, Zhang Biwu was sad in front of the grave. He was full of guilt - he thought he could not protect Xiaoxi but let Xiaoxi be killed.

Zhang Biwu said word by word to Xiaoxi's grave: "I'm going to join the war!"

Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Biwu dissatisfiedly and shouted, "Zhang Biwu, you want to make achievements, but look at how Wang Yu died! What are we in your heart? Are you a tool for making achievements? Do you want us to push us to die, right? Do you want to make achievements? OK! Go by yourself! We won't go! I still have to save this life to live a leisurely life!"

Zhang Biwu stood up and said his heart: "Yes! I long to make achievements! But this time I joined the war, I was not for myself! I was to wash away the shame! I promised Xiaoxi that I would not let her have something to do! But she died in front of me! Died in my arms! I can't even protect her, a child who lives with me day and night! It's a shame for being a soldier! I want to avenge my shame!"

"Bang" Zhang Yi hit Zhang Biwu's face with an old boxing, and he shouted: "Don't use Xiao Xi as a shield! Excuse! Everything is an excuse!"

Zhang Biwu stretched his eyes and shouted: "Excus? Then do you know? I clearly agreed to her that Uncle Zhang would protect her and let her return to her parents safely, but she died in front of me with a trusted smile! My promise was shattered! My dignity as a soldier was shattered! Her body became cold in my arms! Do you know how painful my heart is? Xiaoxi is such a lively and cute girl, and she died in front of her eyes!"

When Zhang Biwu said this, he felt very sad.

Zhang Biwu yelled: "What kind of men are you who don't even dare to protect women and children! Besides, we are soldiers, and defending the people is our duty! But we have to abandon our duty and live with our heads like a turtle! I can't do it!"

"It is a soldier's misfortune in troubled times, and it is even more of a blessing! Soldiers in troubled times should have the confidence and determination to make achievements! Born at the right time, they are in vain to live a life of seven feet without a single life. What is the man doing? Soldiers in troubled times should use their blood and bravery to stop fighting for martial arts, strive for stability of the country and peace of the people, and win great luck to the country! Soldiers should be like this!"

Zhang Biwu took off his helmet and threw it to the ground with a "clang" sound. The helmet rolled on the ground. Everyone looked carefully and their eyes turned around.

Zhang Biwu said sternly: "How can a man be like a turtle with his head shrank, timidly carrying shame and infamy and infamy, watching the people he should be protected allow foreign aggression to bully and plunder. A great humiliation! The shame of a soldier should be washed away by the blood of others! What is the achievement? Yes! I want fame! But now I want more to fight as a soldier and as a man!"

Zhang Biwu said this, looked around everyone, and said, "I am fighting for myself now! You don't go, it doesn't matter! I'll go! Even if I'm the only one! I'm not afraid of everything! Because I'm not just a man, but also a soldier! Even if I die, I'm a dignified man!"

After saying that, Zhang Biwu turned to Xiaoxi's grave and bowed, saying, "Xiaoxi, don't worry! Uncle Zhang will definitely avenge you! Just watch Uncle Zhang expel the Tartars and will never let you down, 'Uncle Zhang is a hero!'"

The scene of Zhang Biwu taking the risk of killing the enemy cavalry under the horse's hooves was reflected in front of Zhang Yi and others. Zhang Biwu was crying while holding Xiaoxi's body, and his oath to expel the Tartars was still resounding in his ears.

Zhang Biwu turned to the messenger: "I am a man! I want to join the royal army and fight against the Manchus!"

When Liu Fang saw Zhang Biwu fighting for his daughter, as his father, if he didn't go, it would be even more unreasonable! He also said: "I am a man and a soldier, but I am a father! I will go too!"

All the things Zhang Biwu said just now have come into their hearts. They are men and soldiers. They have the responsibility to defend their country. Of course, they do not want to live with shame.

Zhang Yi's thoughts changed, and he did not think that Zhang Biwu wanted to join the war because he was selfish and wanted to make achievements.

Zhang Yi also shouted out the voices of many people: "Zhang Biwu, don't think that you are a man, I am a man and a soldier! I don't want to discover such a tragedy as Xiaoxi! I also want to join the war! Fight like a man and a soldier as you said!"

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he arrived in front of Zhang Biwu and punched Zhang Biwu's chest with a light punch. "Zhang Biwu, let's see who looks more like a man!" Zhang Biwu smiled and also responded to Zhang Yi's punch, saying, "Okay! Just one word is determined! See who looks more like a man!"

The soldiers next to them also felt Zhang Biwu's aura. Some people took the lead and they all expressed their willingness.

When the messenger saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The worries just now were finally unnecessary. When Zhang Biwu's example came out, he would probably set an example among the officers and soldiers of Datong Town?

Zhang Biwu finally turned around and looked at the graves of Xiaoxi and Wang Yu. He bowed, gritted his teeth, and looked into the distance. What will tomorrow look like?

Wang Pu led his Datong Town official army to set out to serve the king. There was no so-called urgent marches, and every move was controlled by the Qing army.

Zhang Biwu was treated with courtesy because their deeds of killing four enemy cavalry during the Qing army's raid were soon spread throughout Datong Town for political needs.

Look, when the soldiers saw Zhang Biwu and the others on the chariot, they all said, "Is this Zhang Biwu? It was when the Qing cavalry raided, only one person was sacrificed to kill four enemy cavalry people? They asked for the first time!"

For this reason, the soldiers looked at Zhang Biwu more. The soldiers thought that Zhang Biwu was like a scholar, not a powerful general. He was really so powerful? Can he kill four enemy cavalry?

The Qing army repeatedly entered the frontier, but the Ming army had no choice. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army was far better than that of the Ming army. The Ming army's military pay was severely deducted, and there was little training, and the combat effectiveness was very poor. In addition, the generals liked to raise private soldiers, so the soldiers became even more disinterested.

For this reason, the Ming army was at a disadvantage in fighting the Qing army, and the atmosphere of fearing the enemy was spreading throughout the Ming army for a while. It is not surprising that the soldiers suspected it in such a situation.

The reason why Zhang Biwu and his team defenders had such a front-line performance was certainly aroused people's spirits. In addition, Wang Pu wanted to inspire people and establish a martial spirit, so he set an example to promote them among the officers and soldiers of Datong Town.

Although Zhang Biwu had a preliminary impression, he still had a long way to go to conquer the hearts of the soldiers, and he still had to prove himself in the future battles.
