!--Chapter content begins-- Jin Zuoling is indeed an experienced hunter who has hunted for many years. This hard bow is really powerful, and the serrated wolf-tooth arrows flew up to the top of the city like meteors and lightning.
Thanks to Lieutenant General Lin's kung fu, he tilted his head at the critical moment and the wolf-fang arrow grazed his ear and was nailed to the city gate tower with a thud, piercing the wood by an inch and a half.
"What a powerful arrow! Jin, are you going to break it?" Old Lin reached out and touched his earlobe and found that the arrow had made a small cut, and it was bleeding.
"What a fool, you are really stubborn! If you want to fight, then don't blame me for being rude..."
The verbal exchange just now did shake the morale of the siege troops, but Jin Zuoling was not afraid. He knew that the difference in numbers would eventually make up for the lack of morale and equipment.
Two thousand archers, fire gunners, more than 3,000 cavalry, and more than ten fire attack vehicles prepared... Qiqihar is the capital after all, and the army's supplies are still sufficient. It should not be a problem to break through a southern city.
The archers and gunmen began to move forward under the orders of the officers. The horses under the cavalry had already felt the atmosphere of the battle. They were spitting regularly and digging their hooves on the ground.
After all, they are soldiers trained by Jin Zuoling for many years. These people have already developed an inertia towards his command. Although the morale of the army was shaken by the opponent's attacks and the soldiers' eyes flickered, they still did not hesitate once the order was given. The military formation began to advance slowly.
"Brothers..." Jin Zuoling tore his throat and yelled loudly, "It's useless to talk too much! Our home is right across the street, we can't lose it!"
"There are still millions of taels of silver stored in the treasury in the city! I swear to God today, I will reward each of these rebels with one hundred taels of silver for defeating them! The disabled will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and the families of those who died in battle will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver!" "
"There are gods three feet above my head! If I, surnamed Jin, tell a lie, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky and I will never be the next in line!"
As soon as such a vicious oath was uttered, the officers and soldiers were all excited. The ancients attached great importance to promises, because the ancients were 100% theists. Modern people no longer care about oaths. That's because many people are atheists and simply don't believe in theories such as retribution.
But that was not the case with the ancients. They believed that there is a soul after death, and there are six reincarnations. There are gods and Buddhas watching over your head. Once a poisonous oath is made, there will naturally be gods and Buddhas as guarantees.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. The five thousand army was filled with darkness and roared with excitement. The roar shook the top of the city and even the top of the city began to beat.
The private soldiers like Ning Guta are also veterans who have been fighting for many years. Their posture is not good, especially the two thousand archers who pose a great threat to the city. Once the projectiles continue, the few hundred of them will not be able to fight back. There was really no stopping the counterattack.
"Sir! What should we do? These lunatics don't want to accept our aggressive tactics!"
"What should I do? Hahaha..." Lao Lin shrank his eyes and laughed ghostly. He picked up the big metal speaker and shouted down, "Five thunders from the sky? Never? Okay! I'll let you see it with your own eyes today." Look at how your family is so unique! Pull me up..."
With a loud shout, countless figures suddenly appeared on the crenel. When Jin Zuoling saw it, he let out a roar and was about to vomit out the sweet blood in his throat!
"Mother... son..." It was the bastard's family that was pushed to the top of the city. There were more than twenty people including maids and housekeepers.
"Mom! My son is late... I took some sleeping pills! Why do I have to go hunting today... Oooh! My son..." Jin Zuoling regretted and slapped his big mouth left and right.
He really regretted it. Tepuxin entrusted such a difficult task of city defense to him and Guo Xinga. This was a great trust. Why did you go hunting by yourself? Why go hunting if you don't do the fortifications? Why can't I control my hands?
If I had not gone hunting, I would have led the cavalry into the city when the turmoil first broke out, and nothing would have happened to my family! Blame me, blame me entirely!
What's the use of regretting it? If you skip work when it's your turn to go to work, this is retribution!
"Lin! No harm to my wife and children..." he yelled desperately.
"I'm sorry! I'm burdened with a sea of blood. For this mutiny, I can't care about anything... If you dare to attack, Jin, I will kill your whole family! I will do what I say..."
"You..." Jin Zuoling couldn't hold it back in the end, and blood spurted out with a pop.
How to fight these, the coach is so angry that he is vomiting blood, who will give the order? Several soldiers rushed over to support him, "Sir! What should we do? How good is this..."
The world in front of Jin Zuoling began to spin. Stars appeared before it got dark. Various scenes were spinning in front of him like a revolving lantern.
The secret edict from the court, Tepuxin's instructions, and his cowardly drinking to drown his sorrows... The incredible scenes since the volunteer army began to counterattack began to reappear in his mind.
Regardless of whether Tepuxin is a loser or a money-grubber, at least for him, this officer is still good. His official position was promoted by the adults, and his family wealth was earned by following the adults. It can be said that without Tepuxin, he would not be there. today.
The most important thing is that letting the Cossacks enter the country this time is really the decree of the imperial court! No matter how brave Tepuxin was, he would not dare to joke about such a thing.
The general has already chosen a side in the court. He chose the conservatives, the Queen Mother and the Prince! The chips have been placed, can we still withdraw?
If he loses the city of Qiqihar, he also loses his roots as an adult. Not to mention that the general will not let him go, how will the court pass the test?
I'm afraid that even if Lin spares his family's life, Empress Dowager Cixi and Guiziliu will have to issue an order to destroy my entire family.
Everyone is dead! How do I decide?
The army suddenly became restless. Without military orders, they were at a loss as to what to do. Looking at the familiar family members on the city wall, these soldiers were immediately at a loss.
Only three minutes passed, but to Jin Zuoling it seemed like three years. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and shouted, "Mother...Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both! My son can't stand you anymore...Let's attack." !”
"What?" Everyone in the city was stunned, and the crowd was in a roar. No one thought that Jin Zuoling was so loyal that he could kill his relatives out of justice?
Old Lin on the top of the city turned pale with anger. He yelled, "You bastard! What kind of ecstasy soup did Tepu Xin fill you with? You don't even want me anymore? Do you think I'm joking..."
The bastard was standing next to the adults. When the adults called him bastard, he didn't know whether to curse or call him over, but after thinking about it in the blink of an eye, he sneered three times and turned around and dragged the housekeeper of the Jin family.
"Sir! Don't talk nonsense to him. He is testing you! If you don't kill one to show them first, they won't know your power! You give the order..."
