I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 276 Life And Death Choice

Chapter 276 Life and Death Choice

In the 15th year of Tianji, April 18th, Yuanzhou City.

Half of the city is covered in smoke and sand, with broken walls and ruins.

Thick smoke and broken tiles filled every alley and street in the city, and howling and whimpering rolled up the sadness of the flames of war.

With 70,000 demoralized "abandoned soldiers" facing 500,000 Dafeng elites, they stood firm for four days.

The performance of Shuzhou Army and Liangzhou Army is tenacious enough.

But that's basically it.

"Master Liang"

The atmosphere in Yuanzhou Yamen, which had been requisitioned as a "wartime headquarters", was oppressive. A middle-aged man in white armor looked at Liang Zhen and sighed softly.

He is Wen Wen, the general soldier of Liangzhou who was also "abandoned" in Yuanzhou city.

The eyebrows fly into the temples, the eyebrows are sword and the eyes are starry, the sword is worn on the waist, and the white armor on the body is spotless.

Such a gentle name and image does not seem to be a general who leads troops in battle.

But Wen Wen is indeed from Liangzhou, which has the strongest folk customs in Daning.

"Lord Liang, there are less than 20,000 soldiers in the city who are still capable of fighting a battle, which is not enough to cover the city walls, let alone defend the city."

"It's absolutely impossible for Wu Ding to return to help now, and there is no hope of breaking through. It's time for you and me to make up our minds."

"."

The bright sunlight slanted down from the window, and it was dusk.

In the courtyard, there were a few soldiers standing in the afterglow of the setting sun. The red color on their bodies was not known whether it was blood or sunlight.

Holding the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, and Wen Wen's words echoed in his ears, Liang Zhen was speechless for a long time.

He doesn't know when Dabong's next attack will be, but he knows that the next time will definitely be the last.

What Wen Wen said is right, there are less than 20,000 soldiers left in the city, and they can't even stand on the city walls, so how can we talk about defending the city?

"Brother Wen. I'm a little older than you, so let's call you brother."

"I don't know, what do you think we should do?"

Liang Zhen's tone was a bit difficult, while Wen Wen was much calmer in comparison.

He also raised his eyes to look out of the window, but instead of admiring the twilight scene, he reached out and gently closed the wooden window.

"Liang Dage, since you asked, I will speak directly, brother."

"Now Yuanzhou City will definitely not be able to defend, then we only have three ways to go."

"First, fight to the end, and use the lives of tens of thousands of brothers left to fight for the name of the two of you and me."

"Second, gather all the brothers above the third rank to protect you and me to break through. Brother, I have calculated that if you break through from the south of the city, if you can rush into Meishan, there may be a 30% chance of getting out."

"And this third way, that is"

Glancing at Liang Zhen, Wen Wen calmly uttered two words.

"Surrender to the enemy."

"."

It seemed that the light reflected by Wen Wen's white armor hit his eyes, and Liang Zhen's pupils shrank suddenly.

But as time went by, the hand that clenched the handle of the knife slowly relaxed again.

What Wen Wen said is right, there are only these three roads before them now.

If you choose the first one, you will die.

Choose the second one, maybe you can live.

If you choose the third one, you will surely live.

More importantly, not only will he not die, but the nearly ten thousand brothers under him will also be able to live.

Thinking of this, a deep sense of powerlessness and anger welled up in his heart, which made Liang Zhen's expression extremely complicated at the moment.

More than half a month ago, I brought 30,000 people from Shuzhou to support Yuanzhou. Even though I knew that the trip was dangerous, I still did not hesitate.

But who would have thought that there are less than 10,000 abandoned pawns left among the 30,000 people.

People always die in war, Liang Zhen naturally understands this truth.

However, there is value in dying.

From the perspective of the overall situation, they bought time for the army to re-deploy in Fengxian County, and it seemed that they deserved to die.

But to be abandoned is to be abandoned.

There's not much to say about this.

"Brother Wen."

Taking a deep breath, Liang Zhen looked up at Wen Wen: "It seems that you have already made a decision."

"yes."

Wen Wen didn't hide it, nodded and said seriously: "Liang Dage, I will take the Liangzhou army out of the city tonight, and I hope you can join me."

"."

Take off your armor and leave the city.

Hearing this expected answer, Liang Zhen was not surprised, but just stared at Wen Wen.

"Brother Wen, this is a crime of treason."

"I naturally understand that this is treason, and I understand that in the future I will definitely be scolded by the people of Daning for the rest of my life."

Wen Wen's expression remained calm.

"Liang Dage, my younger brother is not a person who is afraid of death, and the man from Liangzhou is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"But since it was Wu Ding and the emperor who abandoned us first, why should I work for them?"

"I only know how to repay kindness with kindness, but I don't know how to repay kindness with kindness."

Shaking his head, Wen Wen sighed again, which seemed to be mixed with endless loss.

But Liang Zhen's thoughts at this time were a little different.

"Brother Wen, this statement is wrong."

"The imperial court has indeed failed us this time, but you must know that you and I are citizens of Daning no matter what."

"If there is no Daning, where will you and I come from, and where can we sit in the position of the commander-in-chief?"

"Why do you only see the 'resentment' in front of you, but not the 'virtue' before?"

Obviously, Liang Zhen didn't want to choose the third path, and felt that Wen Wen's statement was just an excuse for self-comfort.

However, the latter's next few words made him instantly at a loss as to how to respond.

"Liang Dage, you are right."

"Whether it's the imperial court or the people of Daning, you have indeed been kind to me before."

"So, no matter how disappointed and angry I was, I still guarded Yuanzhou City for four days."

"These four days are to repay the kindness."

"Now, the favor is over, and Daning and I are in debt from now on, it's time to take the road of owning."

"."

The favor has been reported, and they will go their separate ways from now on.

Liang Zhen, who finally understood what Wen Wen was thinking in his heart, remained silent for a long time, and he couldn't say anything until the former had reached the door.

"Liang Dage, won't you stop me?"

Turning around, Wen Wen smiled and asked: "If I walk out of this door, you will have no chance."

"Let's go."

With a wry smile, Liang Zhen waved his hand feebly.

"What's the point of stopping you?"

"it is good."

Wen Wen took a deep look at Liang Zhen, and finally left a sentence.

"Liang Dage, if you have figured it out, then take someone to the west gate at Zishi. Before that, Dafeng will not attack the city again."

"Squeak"

The door opened and closed, and with the sound of "General Wen" outside the room, Liang Zhen was the only one left in the room.

Before Zishi, Dafeng would not attack the city.

This sentence means that Wen Wen may have already expressed the meaning of "surrender" to Dafeng.

It also means that if he doesn't disarm and surrender together, Dafeng will launch his last attack after 1 hour.

"Wow!"

The heavy general's armor was thrown on the table, crushing the already riddled Yuanzhou City on the sand table.

Liang Zhen was only wearing the under armor that Wei Changtian had lent him before his departure, and walked slowly around the house for an unknown number of times.

How should I choose myself.
