These soldiers in the Xishan Camp are not saints. They are just soldiers who eat food. They are also afraid of death when they encounter danger, and they will still take credit when they encounter it!
If we encounter a period of chaos without the control of superiors, these people may also be able to do some immoral things such as burning, killing and looting!
But the performance of these 800 people tonight was jaw-dropping and dumbfounding. It was clear that we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered, but they actually dared to launch a counterattack? Still shouting such noble slogans?
Fifth Master Yi Pei and the officials around him, as well as the Sanbao and other defenders on the high Xizhi Gate, were all dumbfounded and did not expect that the situation would turn around like this!
After the war, the Northern Bureau even had intelligence officers interrogate these soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, but the answers they got were very speechless!
"You ask me if I'm afraid? Nonsense, of course I am. We are all two-legged infantry. How can we not be afraid if we are all cavalry?"
"But what can I do if I'm afraid? Those people are already planning to burn us to death. How can we do it if we don't fight?"
"You asked me why I thought of saving the people? Hey... they are all local folks in this hometown. We can name many of them. Many of the food, wages and daily necessities in Xishan Camp are distributed from the grass market here. cart!"
"We are really allowed to watch our fellow villagers die? It's really intolerable..."
"Besides, don't we still have to break out? We have to work hard, shout some noble slogans, and feel energetic..."
"Haha...you ask me the truth? Don't tell anyone else..."
"I'm afraid of death, but I'm also afraid of dying without a complete body... How terrible is it to be burned to death? The bones will turn into ashes, and I won't be able to be reborn as a human being in the future..."
"When the soul is burned to ashes, it will become a small insect in a field of flies and mosquitoes in the next life! People have to think about the next life!"
"If you rush out and fight hard, you might be able to find a way to survive. Even if you die in battle, whether it's by bullets or hacking to death with swords and guns... you'll still be a complete corpse in the end! You can be reincarnated as an adult in the next life!"
"If you don't regret it, you won't regret it if you do it..."
Wang Ju's men were shocked when they received such answers, and then lowered the threat level to Xishan Camp from the highest to the medium!
Why is there such an adjustment in the danger level? What the head of state said after the turmoil made everyone panic: "Army! If an army has its own thoughts and beliefs, it forgets materials for some kind of spiritual power." Go fight!”
"Then such an army will definitely become a strong army! I wonder if you are very familiar with the spiritual power that the Xishan Battalion outside Xizhimen broke out at a critical moment?"
These few words made the hairs on the hairs of the senior Chinese officials present stand on end. When the Chinese people rose up, they fought bloody battles, and they were never won by rewarding them with money!
That kind of desperate momentum of unity and hatred against the enemy not only scares the enemy, but also makes everyone gathered in it feel extremely shocked!
Now that something like this has appeared in Xishan Camp, how can the Chinese not pay attention?
The Xishan Camp's fighting spirit, which makes Xiao Letian extremely vigilant, is already an incredible miracle in the eyes of Yi Pei and others!
The fifth master had no idea of slapping someone in the face at this moment. He just stared blankly at the fighting, lonely, bloody, unyielding... soul in the sea of fire dancing in the flames!
Even if they collided with the most savage Jurchen Kaizi horse cavalry, not one of them would retreat!
The kidnapping horses formed a chain of cavalry and charged back and forth on the narrow streets. The originally sparse and lonely military formations were penetrated again and again, and the blood dripped from the stabbings!
But it didn't collapse, and the momentum never let up! Once, twice, five times... In the end, even these barbarians outside the pass were killed. In their eyes, there was no military formation that had not collapsed after being penetrated three times!
From ancient times to the present, when cavalry defeats infantry, they often start to harvest heads after a charge!
And today, they actually charged and killed five times in a row, and those soldiers who were covered in wounds could still line up to attack them, even if their bayonets were bent in the fight, they still kept moving forward!
The eight hundred desperate lone troops were bleeding all the way, but the military formation was moving more and more northwest, and they were about to break through successfully!
The officers kneeling behind the Fifth Master cried out in grief and despair, "My lord... you must not fail to keep your word!"
"They have rushed out as you expected! Can't you give them a way to survive?"
"The Xishan Camp has 60,000 soldiers and 40,000 auxiliary troops! Don't you want the military morale of these 100,000 troops at all?"
Yi Pei closed his eyes and waved his hand, "Send the order...surrender and avoid being killed...give the order...I really didn't expect that my sixth brother is really a talent!"
"The result is a good army, a good army!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats gradually stopped. The slaughtered savage soldiers, covered in white smoke, lined up and looked at the Xishan Camp formation with more than 400 people left in front of them. They couldn't help but raise their swords to their chests!
The courtesy that would only be given to warriors was given to these trapped lone soldiers today!
In the long street, which spans more than 200 steps, 400 wounded soldiers formed five simple circular formations, watching vigilantly at the enemies who suddenly stopped their horses!
The circular formation protects the wounded soldiers, and wailing sounds come and go. You can even see blood slowly flowing through the gaps under the circular formation and between the leather boots!
Yi Pei rode his horse and stopped at the place closest to the position. "I am Prince Chun. Do you know me?"
"If you know me, put down your weapons! Surrender to avoid death..."
No one spoke, and no one put down their weapons. The four hundred Xishan battalion just stared at Prince Chun in front of them, covered in blood!
"I have said it! Surrender to avoid being killed! Put down your weapons!" Yi Pei raised his voice again.
"We don't believe you! We don't believe anyone!" A bloody soldier suddenly stood out from the battle formation. His left arm seemed to have been broken and pierced, and it was hanging bloody at his side!
"Your Majesty! We have been deceived once tonight, and we cannot be deceived a second time! You want us to put down our weapons so that we can have a spoonful of stew, right?"
"You asked us to believe you! But look at the appearance of these savages just now. They even killed ordinary people, how can they let us go? Such soldiers have been activated! How can we still dare to believe it?"
"Bold! How long has it been since you dared to negotiate terms with me? If nothing else, I would like to ask you, why did you go from Kunming Lake to Xizhimen?"
"There is no military order to mobilize troops. What are you doing? Now that you have a way to survive, do you still dare to bargain?"
Two senior officials rushed out from behind the prince's horse. When they met, they yelled, "Yu Chun'er! Are you crazy? Do you talk to your master like this?"
"My lord is benevolent and righteous. I'm sure I'll surrender without killing you. Why aren't you done yet? Kneel down quickly and put down your weapons!"
It wasn't until he saw the regimental commander and division commander directly under him that the company commander Yu Chun'er took off his disguise and sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Master? He is our fucking master..."
"You are fighting for power... We are the mud under your feet! Wuwuwu..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu So many brothers! Did they die in vain? The ones who died in the end didn't even have a word to explain... What on earth did they die for!"
The company commander who was lucky enough to survive cried bitterly, but no one laughed at him at this moment!
