Chapter 516: Surrender, Madam
Rows and rows of arrows flew like a storm from all directions towards the officers, soldiers and warriors who were killing each other. Accompanied by bursts of screams and blood splattering, the fallen people just used those helpless eyes.
Staring at the sky with closed eyes.
"Sir...be careful!"
At the moment when the arrow rain hit, the iron tower-like man suddenly blocked in front of Zhou Yuji, and dozens of arrows fell on his body in an instant.
"ah……"
Holding the knife, the man knelt down and blood flowed from his mouth.
"Sun Dazhu..."
"Sir, take care... the little one goes first..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun Dazhu fell to the ground.
Looking at the guards lying on the ground, Zhou Yuji looked up at the bandits, looked at them with contempt, and stood up suddenly.
"Brothers, kill the thief!"
Zhou Yuji roared and charged forward with his long sword in hand. Behind him, more than a dozen officers and soldiers followed him with shouts.
Blood!
The streets of Ningwuguan turned into rivers of blood, with corpses one after another on the streets. The bandits who rushed into the city broke into houses along the streets and looted them. They stabbed people with spears and chopped with knives when they saw them. The streets were dyed red with blood.
.
Screams and cries came and went.
"puff!"
The light of the knife passed by, and the blood splashed!
Zhou Yuji couldn't even remember how he charged all the way. He was covered in blood and had no strength for a long time. He just charged forward numbly with the knife. When someone blocked the way, he picked up the knife to kill. It was quite difficult to use it.
The long sword, which was light and light, now weighed a thousand kilograms and could only be dragged with one hand. Behind him, the rogue bandits that broke into the city were killing the people in the city at will. The rogues laughed ferociously as they hacked to death the old man and tore the women apart.
Human clothes. A crying baby was picked up by a spear and fell to death on the wall...
If it doesn’t last for five days, massacre the whole city!
In fact, for rogue bandits, killing people and massacring cities is just a common thing. All kinds of violence are simply shocking, and their cruelty is no less than that of Jiannu. You must know that in history, Li Zicheng only shouted "equal land and exempt from taxes" in the 13th year of Chongzhen.
The slogan "Killing a person is like killing my father, and raping a person is like raping my mother" to win over people's hearts and stop massacres in the city.
It's just that they no longer massacre cities randomly.
They dug up the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng, and more than a million people died at their hands.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, after Li Zicheng established the so-called "Dashun" in Xiangyang, he used the slogan "No conquests for three years, no killing of one citizen" to calm the people. Even so, it was still unpopular in the end.
After all, the brutality of rogue bandits is obvious to all. When encountering stubborn resistance, massacre is their most common method, both as a means of revenge and as a means of intimidating others.
At this time, the human tragedy that is taking place in Ningwuguan is exactly what the rogue bandits are best at.
Kill!
For these bandits, this is even what they desire
Regarding all this, Zhou Yuji Yi Jing was powerless to stop him. There was no Minzhuang or soldiers around him, and he was the only one left. But even so, he was still fighting there, and he was seriously injured dragging
The injured body continued to struggle forward, his right hand still dragging the long knife used to cut the wound. Behind him were several bandits, holding red tasseled spears and following closely, but they seemed to be timid and did not dare to take a step forward.
Whenever a bandit tried to stab him with a spear, he, who seemed to have little strength, killed him with a sword.
At this time, Zhou Yuji, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body, looked like a zombie, walking and fighting in the river of blood.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind. The man on the horse looked at the frightened soldiers, and then looked at Zhou Yuji, who was walking with his injured leg.
"General, look at the small one and kill him with one arrow!"
When the guard on the side was taking the arrow, Luo Hu looked at Zhou Yuji, who was covered in blood, and raised his hand to stop him.
"Follow him!"
An astonishing scene appeared on the street full of miserable screams. Zhou Yuji, wearing tattered cotton armor and covered in blood, struggled to move forward with a long knife in one hand. In front of him
Behind him were hundreds of bandits with guns drawn.
Finally, after walking for who knows how long, he seemed to feel something, raised his head, and suddenly smiled at the blood-stained face.
I saw red silhouettes flashing on the roof of the general soldier's house in front of me. Ms. Liu, holding a powerful bow, opened her bow and fired arrows from time to time. She led dozens of women on the roof to shoot arrows at the besieging public house.
of rogues.
"Madam is truly a hero of our time..."
Zhou Yuji sighed with some excitement. Looking at his wife leading the slaves at home and resisting the bandits on the roof, he felt that he seemed to have strength again. He stared at the bandits in front of him and yelled.
"Kill the thief!"
After saying that, he raised his knife and killed the bandits in front of him.
As he rushed, he waved the long knife in his hand, and the blade immediately cut off a piece of his arm and head. As the blood sprayed, several more gangsters fell under his knife.
Staring at Zhou Yuji who was slashing, Luo Hu narrowed his eyes, drew his bow and fired an arrow.
"ah!"
Shooting from a distance of thirty steps, the arrow with a cold tip flew in front of Zhou Yuji in an instant. The arrow made of fine steel pierced his thigh in an instant. He screamed, but Zhou Yuji did not stop.
Instead, he howled and continued to slash with his sword.
What a man!
After admiring, Luo Hu shouted to the guards beside him.
"Here comes the arrow!"
Another arrow.
As if the arrow had eyes, it hit his other thigh accurately and penetrated several inches. Zhou Yuji, who was hit by arrows in both legs, finally lost his strength. When he fell, he struggled and looked toward the northeast.
.
"Your Majesty, I have gone..."
Just when Zhou Yuji was about to commit suicide with a knife, a flying arrow shot through his shoulder as if it had eyes. He was hit by several arrows before he fell down until then. The bandits around him rushed up and immediately killed him.
He caught him, and just as he was about to struggle, someone slapped him on the head with a stick, and the black man fell down in front of him.
"General, general, catch him, catch him!"
When the soldiers were asking for credit, Luo Hu thought of the prime minister's instructions and shouted loudly.
"Quickly, go to the General Military Mansion and tell the people in the General Military Mansion that if they surrender, Zhou Yuji will be safe from death!"
Zhou Yuji, who lost his will, was carried to the front of the General Military Mansion. Liu, who was directing the slaves to kill thieves on the roof, was in chaos when he saw that the master was captured. Here, he only heard someone shouting from below the room.
road.
"People on the roof, listen, our major general said that as long as you surrender, you can spare Zhou Yuji's death!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu shouted loudly.
"My master is a loyal minister of the imperial court. Even if he is captured at all costs, he will not surrender to you and other thieves. He will kill them if they want. It just fulfills my wisdom!"
When the voice fell, Mrs. Liu fired another arrow towards the house, and shot down a bandit with one arrow. Seeing this, Luo Hu shouted.
"Mrs. Zhou, listen, my emperor has an order to spare Zhou Yuji. Why do you insist? Come down quickly and take care of your master. I promise not to hurt you!"
When the maids on the side heard this, they all looked at Madam eagerly. The reason why they persisted until now was because they knew what would happen if they fell into the hands of rogue bandits.
"lady……"
Looking at the master who was tied there, Ms. Liu bit her lips and was about to say something about not dishonoring the reputation of the Zhou family when she saw a group of people coming down the room, and the leader shouted loudly.
"Mrs. Zhou, I am Prime Minister Dashun. As long as Mrs. Zhou comes down, I promise not to harm my wife or anyone around her. Moreover, I will never threaten General Zhou with my wife. No matter whether the general surrenders or not, I will never embarrass the general.
…”
Sun Kewei looked at Mrs. Zhou on the roof and said loudly.
In his opinion, this Mrs. Zhou is his best bargaining chip to persuade Zhou Yuji. As long as this Mrs. Zhou can come down and surrender, then he will be 100% sure to persuade them to submit to Dashun.
So he has to convince her no matter what. And whether they surrender or not is related to some issues between him and the military advisor.*
It was precisely because of this that he hurried over without waiting for the battle to end. It was because he was afraid that Mrs. Zhou would commit suicide. If she died, Zhou Yuji would definitely not surrender.
"Prime Minister, what are you..."
Before Luo Hu could speak, Sun Kewei said softly.
