The most valuable thing is human life.
The least valuable thing is human life.
It is up to you to decide how much your life is worth.
It is up to others to decide how much a worthless human life is worth.
Han You, standing above the gate of Qiuye City, tried to draw the long bow in his hand into a full moon, but he couldn't do it, just like he couldn't let the lives of his soldiers be measured without money.
Not only is it immeasurable, but even on the battlefield, all human lives have become worthless.
Thirty-two thousand Japanese thieves have already begun to station themselves, and hundreds of scouts are trying to get closer to the city wall to observe the situation.
A large number of kerosene bags were thrown under the city wall. Life was becoming less and less valuable, whether it belonged to Zhou soldiers or Japanese thieves.
In just over half an hour since Han You climbed the city wall, another seventy-eight lives that should have been valuable were left so worthless.
"Approximately how long until we attack the city."
Han You gave up and handed the long bow to Wang Hai.
Wang Hai is always considerate, and Jiang Zhui is always Der's. The latter grabbed the long bow, drew the bow and string in one go, and shot to death a Ying thief who tried to throw the kerosene bag up.
"Come on, come on, you cum."
Han You picked up the quiver and threw it on Jiang Zhui's chest.
"Master, it should be sunset."
Wang Hai looked intently: "The thief took off his armor and wore black clothes. The sunset was difficult to see."
"Do we still have kerosene?"
"Less than three barrels."
Han You groaned slightly, his face full of exhaustion, and he forced himself to look at the skyline.
"After all, the strategic significance has not been achieved, and we have not reached the capital of these beasts."
Friends and other soldiers gathered around, but they hesitated to speak.
In fact, the strategic goal has been achieved, but Han You's requirements for himself are too harsh.
From the beginning, no one had the extravagant hope that the Ying bandits could really be wiped out in one battle. Let alone defeating the Ying bandits to the point of annihilation, even entering the capital of the Ying bandits was all wishful thinking.
The reason why everyone followed Han You on board the ship, why they fought until now, and why they put life and death aside was not only to repay Han You's kindness and other factors, but also for one of the most important reasons.
That is to let the Japanese thieves know that the Great Zhou Dynasty is not without resistance. The powerful soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty can board ships, fight across the sea, and hit the hinterland of the Japanese thieves. Given time, when the Japanese thieves think about it again When plundering the Three Roads of the East China Sea, you must consider the consequences, and do not dare to be as unscrupulous as before.
The cognition is different, the thinking is different, but according to Han You's idea, a lone army should not become a lone army.
He thought that because of his friendship with Lao Ba and his importance in the court, Beijing would continue to recruit troops and send them to the Third East China Sea, and the Third East China Sea would also send a steady stream of soldiers to Yingdao to let the Japanese thieves continue to bleed until they died.
Han You could also not get on the ship. No one would blame him, and no one in the world would blame him.
As he said, he must get on the boat. Only if he gets on the boat can the lonely army not become alone.
But in the end, he became a lone army, guarding Qiuye City, with a shortage of food and grass, wounded soldiers everywhere, and a lack of men and horses.
"Keep it."
Han You spat out these two words calmly, and his heart was full of worry. He was worried about the three princes, the old masters, and all his friends.
The troops were divided into multiple ways. No matter who proposed it or who agreed or disagreed, it was Han You who finally made the decision and made the decision.
Flowering everywhere, feeding on war, it also means that they will be defeated one by one.
Han You took the long bow from Jiang Zhui and tried to pull the bow and string again, but still couldn't do it.
It's not that he is weak, but that his physical strength has been consumed by more than half. This consumption is not only physical, but also mental.
The sound of drums came from far away. The Japanese thieves did not try to attack the city. Instead, dozens of people held torches and held up diamond shields, trying to get close to the city wall at an extremely slow speed.
"Shoot him to death."
Han You did not hesitate: "He is just an envoy. He wants to capture us alive. He wants to get the Ying thief formula. Tell everyone, don't let the brothers suffer. If anyone is about to be captured alive, give the brothers a ride. Believe me, if you fall In the hands of Japanese thieves, the pain will be a thousand or ten thousand times more painful than death in battle."
Han You has said this sentence countless times, and everyone has already memorized it and left a deep impression on them.
"Me too." Han You looked at Wang Hai: "If you don't want me to suffer, kill me before I'm captured alive."
It has been a long, long time since Han You called himself young master in front of Wang Hai. Brother Hai nodded and said with a smile: "Master, don't let me suffer."
Han You laughed loudly, and the sound of breaking through the air came from the city wall, and all the Japanese thieves trying to persuade them to surrender fell off their horses in an instant.
The sound of drums came from far away, and the Japanese bandits began to attack the city.
Lu Baichuan lit the gunpowder arrow and cursed loudly: "Tang Qingfeng, if I die in the battle, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost, Ri Nen Niang!"
No one paid any attention to him. In fact, there were quite a few people scolding Tang Qingfeng during this period.
The person who should be most responsible for supporting and joining Han You's team is Tang Qingfeng.
You must know that Tang Qingfeng entered the hinterland of the Japanese thieves along the inland river. Inland waterways extend in all directions and carry the most gunpowder. In comparison, the battle damage should be the lowest, and he should be the fastest to reach Qiuye City.
But now there is not even a shadow of a ghost. If there were Tang Qingfeng's troops, everyone would not be trapped here. Maybe they would have reached the capital of the Japanese thieves long ago.
The battle suddenly became intense at the beginning. After the gunpowder arrow fired by Lu Baichuan exploded, countless Japanese thieves appeared in the sudden brightness and rushed towards Qiuye City like a tide.
There is no need to aim, just shoot. The thief made it clear that he wanted to use human life to fill the gap.
Arrows hit the thief one after another.
Gunpowder arrows blew the pirates to pieces.
The little remaining kerosene was poured under the city wall.
Even so, the Japanese thieves seemed to be killing more and more.
They were all lighting fires. The Zhou soldiers lit the kerosene under the city wall, and the Ying thieves lit the kerosene under the city gate.
There were no injured soldiers among Zhou's soldiers, at least no one would admit that they were injured. They all climbed onto the city wall, using their last strength and last breath to defend and kill more Japanese thieves.
Finally, a ladder was set up on the city wall. Wang Hai and Qi Tong pushed hard with their long swords, and a long arrow scratched Brother Hai's cheek.
The ladder that had not yet climbed a few people fell over, but two more ladders were put up on the city wall.
Lu Baichuan made a prompt decision, stretched out half of his body, and a gunpowder arrow exploded into pieces. The moment he retracted his body, a hail of arrows struck, and Dachuan'er danced a face-to-face dance with the God of Death, almost being shot into a hedgehog.
When Han You ran to another ladder, it was already too late. A large number of Japanese thieves rushed up the ladder and could not push it.
"Fuck you."
Han You laughed evilly, raised the kerosene divided into small barrels and threw it down. A soldier lit the fire arrow, the ladder turned into a fire ladder, and the Ying people became acquaintances.
With a "plop", the soldier who lit the fire arrow fell next to Han You, with an arrow in his chest.
Han You was shocked, and just as he knelt down, the soldier handed the long bow to Han You.
"The surname...is Han."
The life energy in the eyes of the miscellaneous soldiers disappeared almost instantly: "I should have... not participated in the imperial examination in the first place. I believed... your evil deeds and entered the auxiliary army... auxiliary army camp."
Han You grabbed the longbow tightly and was about to speak when the soldiers used their last strength to shout: "Promise me, in eighteen years, you will ask the Yidao Guards to recruit soldiers again. I... I will definitely give him You should follow me personally, this is you...you owe me..."
Han You closed the eyes of the soldiers, drew the string of his bow, and fired arrows at the Japanese thieves below the city.
