.
After Che Zaizhen learned from the telegram that his troops were completely defeated and routed by the lingering enemy on the front line, and even harmed the interests of the Ming Dynasty King's Division.
He was so frightened that he immediately took a train all the way to the front line and personally apologized to Emperor Zhu Cixiang of the Ming Dynasty. He would fully compensate Wang Shi for any losses he suffered.
Cha Zaizhen's current power and status are all due to the support of the Ming Emperor. It is not too much to kowtow to the Ming Emperor and call his ancestors.
As long as Zhu Cixiang is unhappy, with just one sentence, Che Zaizhen will be dead. Not only will he not be able to be president, he will not get the elixir, and he will be an old man (Tongmao Dieyin) who is in despair and waiting to die.
And more importantly, there was already an extremely vivid example before him, that is, Leopold and his son. Che Zaizhen did not have the courage to imitate others...
Even in order to save his own life, Che Zaizhen had to rush to the scene of the incident as soon as possible and beg the Ming Emperor for forgiveness.
You can pay any amount of money, but it is even more necessary to execute those deserters!
"Thank you for your hard work, President Cha!"
When Zhu Cihong saw the dusty car shaking, he naturally knew the other party's intention, and he still had to say some kind words to give the other party face.
"Your Majesty, my army was defeated before the battle, which caused disaster to the king's division. I am really ashamed. I am willing to compensate for all losses. I hope your majesty..."
Che Zaizhen didn't dare to say that it was hard work. As long as he could stay alive and continue to obtain the elixir, all the efforts would be worth it. As for his request, he was a little hard to say.
"I know President Cha's concerns and worries. There is no need to be like this. I admire President Cha's personal abilities and strategic vision. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. It is good to win every battle, but there is no need to blame yourself too much for failure. , just reflect and review.”
Zhu Cixiang still wanted to see what Cha Zaizhen's attitude towards admitting his mistake was. If it was just lip service, it would be another outcome.
In Kimchi country, it's not that no one wants to be president, but many people want to be president. It's just that Cha Zaizhen has his own support and has been relying on the throne.
If others are willing to make greater compensation, then why doesn't Zhu Cixiang try someone new? What if there is a bigger surprise?
"I would like to offer 10 million silver coins to express my apology. If the amount is not enough, I will return..."
Che Zai Zhen quoted a basic price first, and then asked for directions. If it was not enough, he would double it.
Even if the iron is sold, it must satisfy the appetite of the Ming Emperor.
"That's enough! I'm so relieved! That's it!"
Zhu Cixiang didn't intend to put golden flowers on Cha Zaizhen's body, so he just wanted to do it.
On the contrary, this money will not be put into your own pocket, it must be earmarked.
"Thank you for your majesty's grace. I have decided to execute those deserters with bad conduct and no fighting spirit to serve as a warning to others!"
After receiving the approval of the Ming Emperor, Che Zaizhen finally felt at ease, but he still had to avoid future troubles.
"Execution is too harsh. I'm still willing to give these people a chance. It depends on where they go!"
Zhu Cixiang had already thought of a way to deal with the pickle deserters, and it was very interesting.
Aren't these things cowardly and afraid of death?
So whatever you're afraid of, come on!
The kind-hearted Emperor Haojing specially prepared a big gift package for them!
Zhu Cixiang helps them practice their courage!
The deserters were quickly brought to the scene. Cha Zaizhen and a group of senior Kimchi generals acted as spectators and could watch the wonderful performances of their men. Generals from other countries, as witnesses, were also lucky enough to enjoy this event for free.
The soldiers of the Ming army followed the officers' instructions and fixed the iron rings wrapped with many rags on the ground one by one, and then lit these fire rings with torches.
Drill it!
Didn’t Kimchi Deserter fool the Ming Dynasty King’s Master before?
Now a certain emperor is treating these deserters as monkeys!
If you get through it, you won't be shot on the spot, otherwise it will be easier...
This game doesn’t involve cheating
If you die, you will die even if you run out halfway.
"ah?"
Looking at the blazing fire in front of him, the pickled soldier who was first in line immediately became intimidated.
This is not a dream, it is a real ring of fire. Can you still get caught in it?
The 4,788 deserters at the scene all saw this and couldn't help but start beating the drum in their hearts.
The soldiers of the Ming army were only responsible for setting up the game sessions, while the supervising team was composed entirely of pickled officers and soldiers.
Che Tai'an, commander of the fifth brigade of the Kimchi Second Army, was near the ring of fire, and they winked at the officers in front of them.
The latter understood and immediately shot the hesitant deserter with a revolver.
Then he grabbed the second deserter by his collar and dragged him to the fire ring.
"Hurry up! Otherwise I will kill you!"
Under the officer's scolding, the deserter thought of the tragic fate of the guy in front of him and had to move forward tremblingly, but it seemed to be slow.
The officer couldn't stand it any longer, so he kicked the guy in the butt.
Under the huge thrust, the deserter lost his balance, and the inertia caused him to hit the ring of fire directly.
The clothes quickly caught fire and he was so frightened that he screamed on the spot.
He also forgot to get into the fire circle and started rolling on the ground in an attempt to put out the fire quickly.
When the officer saw this, he was so angry that he stepped forward and shot him three times. This was the end of this guy's performance.
Che Zaizhen didn't even dare to take a peek to see the Ming Emperor's reaction. The deserters were not only afraid of fighting, but also afraid of getting into a ring of fire.
Then why join the army? It’s such a shame to be sent abroad!
It would be a shame for both of them to die!
The third deserter was afraid of being shot, so he got in obediently. When he got to the fifth circle, he was choked by the thick smoke and burst into tears. He couldn't tell the left and right, so he bumped into the ring of fire and then died. Wailed...
This game is very simple. Each fire ring is one meter in diameter and placed close to the ground. The two fire rings are one meter apart. There are ten fire rings in total. Once you drill it, you have passed the level. There is no need to drill it a second time.
People with large lung capacity can hold their breath and drill in one breath before breathing out.
People with small lung capacity can also cover their mouth and nose with a cloth, which only takes about half a minute.
However, these kimchi deserters actually resisted this fun game from the bottom of their hearts. A certain emperor really despised him!
This is just the first level!
There will be more fun later!
If you can't even pass the first level, you won't have the chance to play the rest.
But it saves trouble and shoots them all. This time we have a reason!
Besides, a certain emperor has already lowered the difficulty of the game, without lowering the height of the fire ring or increasing the density of the fire ring.
This is already giving them a way to live. If they are still willing to leave, then just go and die!
The kimchi deserters at the back were not fools either. After seeing the tragic situation in front of them, they naturally came up with a way to deal with it.
It is definitely not possible to deal with nearly 4,800 players with a set of fire rings. There are ten sets in total, and they have all been lit and started to welcome guests...
Got shot!
Burned to death!
Smoked to death!
This is the general process of the Ring of Fire game!
Although it seems a bit cruel, it is much better than using tank tracks to "step on the backs" of deserters.
The latter has absolutely no chance of surviving. The former can survive nine times out of ten as long as he is not afraid.
After the first level, as many as 4,369 players were alive.
In other words, only 419 players were eliminated.
The elimination rate is less than 9%. It can be said that the design of a certain emperor is already very user-friendly!
The second level is slightly more difficult than the first level, but as long as you are brave enough, it is still easy to pass.
The content of the game is two wooden boards one meter wide and four meters long, placed ten meters high.
board
As long as the people above fall down,
Then it can become a real sashimi!
The good news for players is the plank
The difficulty lies in the fact that there are two wooden boards with a distance of two meters wide in the middle.
If you slip, you will die!
You will die if you refuse to play the game!
this……
Ah~ Xiba!
Pickle Deserter has already cursed a certain emperor in his heart more than 10,000 times!
If a deserter curses ten times, it means tens of thousands of times.
This is much more difficult than the first level. At least you can survive by rushing forward.
Even if you jump over this thing in front of you, if it falls a little crookedly, you may lose your footing and fall and be stabbed to death.
Everyone no longer felt helpless and hesitant when facing the ring of fire, only endless fear and anxiety remained.
Obviously the difficulty of the second level will prevent many people from surviving, but...
What's the use of discovering this problem?
Just like when the enemy's tank was discovered before and rushed over, the opponent could also kill him.
Discovery alone cannot solve any problems or overcome any difficulties.
"Don't...sir! I'm scared!"
The first deserter to perform on stage had weak legs, and his lower body was completely unresponsive to his control.
Maybe you can really survive by jumping over, but what if you can't jump over?
Wouldn't the fate be worse than that of a wild boar caught in a hunter's trap?
"To jump or not to jump?"
The officer put the muzzle of the revolver directly against his head, having no time to talk nonsense to such a coward.
"I……"
In this case, the deserter still hesitated.
"One! Two~"
"wait……"
"Snapped!"
A crisp gunshot ended the short negotiation, and the body immediately fell from the high platform.
Fortunately, it was
The second player came one after another, but when faced with this life-threatening game, his reaction was not much different from that of the previous player.
"Stop dawdling! Hurry up!"
"..."
Having learned from the past, the second deserter did not dare to talk back. Although he was walking forward, his steps were smaller than that of a lady.
He was obviously very frightened. The further he walked, the more fear he felt in his heart increased exponentially.
Ever since he was a child, he had never tried this extremely dangerous game.
The wooden board opposite was not far from me, but it was too high. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
My calves were shaking constantly, which seemed more terrifying than an enemy tank coming from the opposite direction.
"Hurry up! We're all waiting for you!"
When the officer behind him saw this, he shouted impatiently.
"ah……"
The deserter was immediately startled. He wanted to squat down to lower his height and make himself stand more stable.
Unexpectedly, when I saw the sharp wooden stick on the ground out of the corner of my eye, I was immediately frightened and felt like the world was spinning.
Then he lost his balance and tilted his body. He still wanted to grab the board with his hand, but unfortunately his movement was half a beat too slow.
He flipped over, his back was pierced, a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he died with his eyes open.
When a certain emperor saw this, he did not laugh at these two losers.
This is an excellent game that their descendants like to play. Don’t the Kimchi ancestors want to try it?
If it can be passed down, it will definitely last for a long time, and it can even apply for intangible cultural heritage!
After the third player appeared, he stopped moving forward.
When the officer's gun was about to hit his temple, he actually tried to grab the gun.
Fortunately, another officer next to him took action in time and killed him directly, so no bigger joke was caused.
This move is also easy to understand. On the other hand, if you can get through it yourself, it is better to just grab the gun so that you can have some support.
After this incident, the officers became even more vigilant towards deserters.
Looking at them is like looking at a prisoner on the execution ground, and there may not be much to discover in the end.
The fourth deserter was not as timid as the first three, because he was a mountain hunter before joining the army.
Whether it is fungus, pine nuts, human body, or Tai Sui, he needs to go over mountains and ridges, and even go to the cliff to pick it.
His fear of heights does not exist for him. The only difficulty is that the board is a bit narrow and it is difficult to control the force when falling on the opposite side.
Once the body loses balance, even if you can jump over, you may fall and die.
But there is no way out, either grab the gun or jump over, there is no third way.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, slowly leaned down, and started to run.
Although the board is very short, as long as you are accelerating, you still have a good chance of using the inertia to rush directly to the opposite side.
The player ran faster and faster, and finally jumped up at the end of the board, glided across the gap, and landed on the opposite board with his right leg.
Then he took two more steps. Just when his body was leaning and he felt that he was about to lose his balance, a hand suddenly grabbed him.
As long as you can jump over and the officer here can reach it, it's not a foul.
And it is necessary to set a successful example at the beginning, so as to give a glimmer of hope to those who follow.
"Thank you, sir!"
The deserter suddenly felt lucky to have survived the disaster, and he seemed to be happier than being able to serve as a soldier and eat meat.
"You passed!"
The officer congratulated him and then turned his attention to the opposite position again.
Not all deserters have such courage and good luck. Many officers and soldiers watching the battle also thought that it would be difficult for them to successfully pass the test.
But as long as you don't desert on the battlefield, you don't need to play this kind of game that is more terrifying than fending off the enemy.
They also understood the Ming Emperor's intention. From now on, few people would dare to escape from the battle.
Next, the fifth, sixth, and seventh players performed a "three consecutive sashimi" and performed a hat trick.
It wasn't until eighth place that the miracle of fourth place was replicated, and only two of the top ten players survived.
A certain emperor never intended for most of his nearly five thousand deserters to survive, for a simple reason.
If a large number of deserters survive the punishment, wouldn't the Kimchi Army be able to form an organized army and escape from battle in the future?
The impact will be extremely bad, so...
