Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 541 Return of the King

When they knew that the rebels had a lot of artillery, the officers and soldiers were no longer willing to come forward and die.

At the same time, they intensified their efforts to arrest nearby people and drive them to attack the city. At first, the strong ones were driven away, but later even the old, weak, women and children were driven up. For a time, there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood outside the city.

The rebel soldiers who took pleasure in massacre at the beginning could no longer stand it, let alone the common people and wealthy households in the city.

Therefore, these people sent messages to the Red Lady from time to time: "Too many kills will harm the peace of the world. Madam, please think about it!"

Later, even Zhao Yutou, Zhang Shenyan and Han Lin complained.

The red lady couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said: "What can we do? Do we have to stretch our necks for the enemy to kill us?"

"You can see how virtuous the officers and soldiers are just by looking outside the city! We are all raised by our mothers and fathers, but why do I, the Red Lady, have a harder heart than others?"

"If I don't kill you, you will kill me. This is how things are in the world. How can we expect the enemy to be merciful?"

Everyone was silent after hearing this. The red lady looked around and couldn't help but sneered: "I never want to harm people's lives. If anyone wants to harm my life, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"If the sky has eyes, it can only watch me die, but can't watch others die? If the sky has ears, I would like to tell it that if there is a punishment from heaven, I will bear it alone, so please don't bring harm to me. Others! If heaven has a mouth, I would also like to ask, what are our sins and what are the sins of the people? Why can we only end up killing each other like this!"

Zhang Shenyan was silent for a long time, then he raised his hand in admiration and said: "Zhang is burdened by fame and fortune, and he is not as good as Mrs. Zhang!"

If you are willing to kill, I will be willing to bury you! The red lady faithfully carries out her promise.

The place where she was born was originally fighting with the Mongols all day long. The folk customs are fierce, and it is often either you die or I live. She is stronger and more ruthless than many people imagine.

It's not easy for the rebels, and it's equally uncomfortable for the officers and soldiers. Killing people is naturally not something that ordinary people can accept.

Liu Guozhen and Liu Qian couldn't help but bite the bullet and admonished Chen Qiyu: "Now most of the people are dead or injured, sacrificing their lives in vain, but it has no effect. If things go on like this, it will harm the peace of the world, so please ask the superintendent to think of other measures!"

Chen Qiyu sneered when he heard this and said: "How many shells and gunpowder have been wasted by the thieves in the past two days, and how many artillery pieces have been used up, and you don't know? How can you slander me with empty teeth and hurt the lives of these stupid people and stupid people in vain?"

"Forget it, our military chariots will arrive tomorrow. They will be able to resist the artillery in the city and not lose a way!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. There are probably more than 100,000 people outside Luoyang City, but now there are countless people who have been driven to attack the city, flee, and flee, and it is already desolate.

These generals were not good people to begin with. In the past, it was common to kill good people and take credit for their merits, commit adultery and plunder. It's just like Chen Qiyu, who ferociously drives the people to attack the city, this is the first time he has encountered him.

In fact, it is no wonder that Chen Qiyu is so cruel. Luoyang City could not be captured for a long time, and he was going crazy.

Every time he woke up from the nightmare, he seemed to see Emperor Chongzhen holding a knife, sharpening the steel knife behind him, and slashing at him at any time.

"The first priority in everything we do is to destroy the 'Yu thieves'!" The words of his in-law Zhang Fengyi kept echoing in his ears.

Chen Qiyu felt that the string in his heart was about to break! But now he has no choice but to grit his teeth and take the gamble. If you win the bet, everything is easy to talk about; if you lose the bet, everything will be lost!

After thinking about the fact that there were still some old, weak, women and children in the hands of the officers and soldiers, Chen Qiyu didn't want to waste any more, so he ordered again: "We still have some common people in our hands. I wonder who is willing to drive them away and attack a few more times to avoid consuming the food in the camp?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, thinking: Is this guy going crazy after losing his mind? This kind of immoral thing can be done by anyone who likes it, but I won’t do it anyway!

After a long while, Chen Qiyu felt that his face was dull and he was about to react. Unexpectedly, a big man stood up and said loudly: "The general will go there in the end!"

Chen Qiyu took a look and saw that it was General He Renlong. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Okay! What a crazy man, if you win this battle, I will definitely report to the court and promote you to the rank of chief military officer!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel great regret when they heard this. They had known this, why did they do it in the first place. Although one cannot be without conscience, but compared with being an official, how much is conscience worth?

Only this time, the officers and soldiers tried to drive away the old, weak, women and children, but they couldn't do it anymore. Many people simply lay down on the ground and said directly to the officers and soldiers: "If you want to kill, just kill them quickly. Why bother to torture us like this?"

"If you are killed by swords and guns, you can still act like a ghost. If you are injured by artillery, we may not be able to become ghosts even if we want to!"

He Renlong smiled when he heard this, and shouted sternly: "Do you think this is a clay statue of a Bodhisattva? Kill a hundred people first, and I want to see who dares to rebel?"

Then a group of officers and soldiers rushed up, stabbing with swords and spears, and for a while there was a burst of crying among the old, weak, women and children.

At this time, a man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, knelt in front of He Renlong and cried: "General, we are convinced, please don't kill anymore. As long as you give me a little time, I will persuade him." them!"

He Renlong saw that this man was fat and strong, and he had a lot of strength. He said nothing, just snorted with his nose.

After coming here for a while, I almost had enough kills. He Renlong then said: "I will keep my word. I said I would kill a hundred people, but I would not kill ninety-nine! Now that you are all convinced, go and lead them to attack the city!"

The man was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and asked in a low voice: "General, we are helpless when we come here with our bare hands. If the military master is kind, can you give us some weapons, which will be better than nothing!"

"The requirements are quite high, aren't they?" He Renlong sneered at this in his mind. It was all a waste of the thieves' ammunition, and it would be a waste to hold it.

Fortunately, these two officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, but they had a surplus of weapons. Although He Renlong is cruel, he also understands the principle of "a slap in the face and a sweet date".

He smiled and said: "In that case, give each of them a weapon, and let them live and die according to their destiny!"

The man couldn't help but be happy when he heard this. When the officers and soldiers brought the weapons, he picked them for a long time, then reached out and picked out a ghost-headed sword.

When He Renlong saw it, he couldn't help but take two steps closer and said with a smile: "This is a thing left by some executioner. It's fine for beheading, but it's not easy to use in a battle formation."

Before He Renlong finished speaking, he didn't expect that the person in front of him suddenly looked ferocious. He held the ghost-headed sword in his hands and slashed at him with one strike.

He Renlong was caught off guard and was slashed on the shoulder by him. He felt a strong force coming from him and staggered back several steps before feeling pain in his shoulder.

He Renlong turned around and saw that the shoulder pads had been chopped open, and blood soaked into the armor seams.

He has always been cruel, but he finally showed kindness, but he didn't expect this to be the final result. He Renlong couldn't help but roared angrily and cursed: "Straight bitch, I treat you badly, how dare you do this!"

Unexpectedly, the strong man chopped down the two soldiers on the left and right, and shouted loudly: "Why is it not thin? My wife, son and old father of the family were driven to pieces by the artillery in the city. There is no greater blood feud than this. This is it!"

"Fellows and villagers! Now it is death, and attacking the city is also death. Since we are desperate, why not fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people immediately grabbed their weapons and fought desperately towards the officers and soldiers. Although the officers and soldiers were caught off guard, especially when General He Renlong was injured, they immediately fell into chaos.

It's just that the officers and soldiers are equipped with armor and weapons. How can they, the old, weak, women and children armed with simple weapons, be able to deal with them? Before long, the resistance turned into a one-sided game of massacre.

The strong man glanced at it and couldn't help but cried out sadly: "Oh my god, open your eyes and take a look! What's wrong with my king Yi Dao to end up like this!"

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's God's vision. As Wang Yidao shouted, there was an earthquake and a shaking sound.

He Renlong couldn't help but change his face when he heard the sound. As a veteran, how could he not hear the sound of a galloping war horse?

When he looked up, he saw a black mass of cavalry coming from the northwest, like a huge stone roller, rolling towards him!
