It is warm after frost and cold after snow.
The wind has stopped, but the chill in the air is still making people's faces hurt, even though the sun, which they haven't seen for many days, is in the sky.
Looking around, the entire Wushan area is completely white, with no green at all.
There were no birds in the sky and no animals in the woods. Everything seemed to be sealed and breathtaking.
When you are here, you don't see the vastness of the world, only you know how small you are.
The snow-covered Wujiayuanzi once again returned to tranquility. There was no longer the roaring and killing sounds not long ago, but there was a touch of solemnity and solemnity.
Wang Wu and his men, together with the old Shun soldiers, buried the deputy general Yu Guohua who was killed by Suo Yanlong.
This is what Wang Wu means, and it is also the wish of the veterans of the Shun Army.
When Yu's body was brought over, his subordinates, guerrilla Ma Sizhong, Qian Commander Xu Deyi and others discovered that Yu's abdominal wound had been sutured and the blood on his face had been wiped clean, and they couldn't help but look at Wang Wu.
Wang Wu nodded slightly and said nothing. He had no intention of using this matter to show favor to these Yu's subordinates, and then to get closer to them and use them for his own use.
Because he just did his job.
And he believed that these veterans of the Shun Army, who had fought with the Qing army for eighteen years, did not need any pretense on his part.
That would be an insult to them!
"Thank you!"
Ma Sizhong and others didn't say much, they just cupped their hands and fists towards Wang Wu, and then led others to wrap Yu's body in a straw mat and gently put it into a deep pit dug in advance.
There is no coffin, and there is no way to make a coffin for a while, so we can only bury him here temporarily.
More than 400 Laoshun troops led by Yu Guohua watched sadly as the old captain was buried. Many people couldn't help but shed tears when they thought of the scenes in which the old captain lived and died with them during his lifetime.
The group invisibly amplified this sadness.
The crying was transmitted from one person to another, from subtle to continuously amplified, and gradually the unknown valley was filled with crying.
Ma Sizhong, Xu Deyi and other officers also shed tears while covering the old captain's body with soil bit by bit.
The cry moved Wang Wu's heart. He knew that Yu Guohua must have been extremely loved by his subordinates during his lifetime, otherwise these old soldiers would not have such strong feelings for him.
But he didn't know how many people would cry for him after his death.
After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but sigh deep in my heart.
A more difficult problem faced him.
Where to go?
Wu Jiayuanzi must not be able to defend it. Suo Yanlong's deputy generals Wang Zhili, Lu Congyun and others took away about a thousand people. Hu Jungui, another general of the seal, also greased his feet and took hundreds of his soldiers with him after learning about the dam incident. After fleeing in panic and running around in all directions, the Ming army of 4,000 people now only has more than 1,000 people left.
Not to mention that these more than a thousand people can defend Wu Jiayuanzi, even if four thousand people are here, they can't!
The Sichuan Qing army on the western front had more than 20,000 troops on the front line of Wujiayuanzi alone, and they were all elite soldiers who had fought for many years!
There were not as many troops as the Qing army, and there was very little food. The weapons and equipment were even worse than those of the Qing army. What could Wang Wu do to defend the Wu family?
The road to Jiangqing was cut off by himself.
Now, he has only one choice.
Walk!
But where?
Wang Wu didn't know, he was also very confused, but he had to force himself to calm down.
Because, Big Sword Wang Wu is already the backbone of this Ming army remnant!
If he was to panic and be at a loss what to do, what would the others do?
I can only forcefully suppress the confusion in my heart and do my best.
Maybe, it really depends on fate.
But the path he chose was his own. From the moment he swung his sword to kill Tian Shouyi, it was destined that he had no choice but to go forward to the end.
Even if it’s a dead end, we have to go!
Wang Wu of the Laoshun Army was not worried. If these old soldiers were willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they would not make him take risks and end the road to the Qing Dynasty.
Now, what Wang Wu has to do is to unite the rest of the Ming army, at least twist them into a rope before the Qing army invades heavily.
No matter how many people there are, if they have a backbone and a direction, they can always generate a burst of strength.
No matter how bad he is, he can always compete with the Qing army for a few games.
After bringing people back to Yuanzi, Baihu Tianwen and Zhao Jinzhong came over to report the situation.
"Captain, it's over. There are still more than 700 people left in each department."
Wang Wen said that except for the more than 100 people in their personal barracks, most of the others were under the command of Suo Yanlong and Tian Shouyi. Some did not run away at all, some took the initiative to stay and chose to continue fighting, and some were intercepted by people led by him and Zhao Jinzhong. Down.
These people are now at the dam site.
Wang Wu hummed and motioned to Tian and Zhao to go with him to the dam field.
When they arrived, they saw hundreds of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers wearing various military uniforms scattered in groups here and there in various corners of the dam site. It seemed that they were all discussing what had happened previously.
After discovering that Wang Wu, the swordsman who killed the general soldier of Hotan in Suo Town, was coming, the crowd immediately cheered and gathered towards the dam.
There were officers in the crowd, but they were all low-level officers in various ministries, and there were no middle- or senior-level generals.
"Wang Wu!"
"Big Sword King Five!"
"Captain Wang!"
"..."
The crowd shouted different names for Wang Wu, and pairs of eyes looked at the young man on the platform with eagerness, anxiety, or confusion.
The reputation of Big Sword King Wu has taken root in their hearts.
This suddenly doubled Wang Wu's pressure, as if there was a huge weight on his shoulders, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe.
After a moment, he breathed out, walked to the front of the crowd, and then slowly scanned the dark crowd under the stage, and raised his voice: "I, Wang Wu, know what everyone is thinking and worried about now, so I, Wang Wu, have to speak out." Tell everyone clearly!"
No one in the crowd made a sound. Those in front and behind were all staring closely at Wang Wu on the stage.
There was a short man standing at the back. He even put his feet up to see what kind of fierce man the big sword Wang Wu was who dared to kill the general soldiers and led them to fight the Tatars to the end.
Tian Wen, Zhao Jinzhong, Zhu San and others were also curious about what the captain wanted to say to these people, and they all raised their ears for fear of missing a sentence.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Wang Wu calmed down his thoughts and continued to say to the crowd:
"What happened today is because I, Wang Wu, do not want to be a dog to the Tatars. From now on, I, Wang Wu, will fight to the bitter end with the Tatars. Even if I die because of this, I, Wang Wu, have nothing to regret. As a human being, always There must be an end. I, Wang Wu, was born in the Ming Dynasty, and I will die as a ghost of the Ming Dynasty. I will be his dog in the Qing Dynasty for a while. I am afraid that I will not be able to see my father when I die in the future!"
Of course, this father is not the real father who wants to exchange him with others.
It was Wang Deshun, the foster father who was not related by blood but gave him food and taught him martial arts so that he could survive in troubled times.
"But I, Wang Wu, never force others to make the same choice as me, so I will not cut off everyone's escape route, nor will I cut off everyone's way of survival. You can choose to follow me and fight the Tatars to the end, or choose to leave and seek a way out.
I, Wang Wu, have nothing to say to those who want to live. It’s easy to get together and get together! If you want to die, I, Wang Wu, have nothing to say, because we want to die together! "
After saying this, Wang Wu fiercely raised his right arm and waved it heavily in the air: "Wang Wu will not keep the only son in the family! The others will decide on their own. Those who stay will die with me, Wang Wu. Those who leave will have a happy life in the future." Burn some paper money for us during the festival and whisper a few words, I, Wang Wu, will be very grateful!"
