Chapter 279 Kill!!!

Seven quarters after midnight.

The night was as dark as ink, the moon was bright in the sky and there was no wind.

When Wei Changtian and Li Si rushed to their destination at the last moment before midnight, they only saw an empty section of the city wall.

Not to mention the soldiers from Liangzhou, not even a single soldier from Shuzhou was seen.

"this"

The two men stared at each other, neither knowing what had happened during the time they had just been traveling between the city wall and the provincial government office.

Why was there no one on the city wall? Wasn't this a sign that they were going to hand over Yuanzhou City to the enemy? Could it be that Liang Zhen and Wen Wen had given up defending the city? But even if they had given up, where were the remaining 20,000 people? Why didn't they see a single soldier on the way from the state government? Wei Changtian searched back and forth on the city wall for a long time, but still didn't find a single living person.

On the contrary, Li Si's "veteran soldier" knew more about military affairs, and finally found a Shuzhou soldier hiding in a cave in the city wall.

"Why are you hiding here?!"

Looking at the silent soldier opposite him, Wei Changtian frowned and asked, "Where are the others?!"

“.”

This soldier obviously didn't know Wei Changtian, but he judged from Li Si's words and actions that the young man in front of him should be of high status.

"My Lord, you."

“Answer my question!”

Wei Changtian felt more and more uneasy, and his tone completely lost his patience: "Tell me! Where are the defenders here?!"

“.”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then answered with a wry smile.

"My lord, they have all gone to the west gate."

"What are you going to do at the West Gate?!"

“.”

The soldier was silent for a while again, and then he uttered two words with some difficulty.

"To die."

Midnight.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Silver light shone down, and two black shadows tore through the night sky, crossing the entire Yuanzhou city at the fastest speed, rushing towards the west gate.

At the same time, two groups of soldiers gathered inside the west gate, with a total of nearly 10,000 people.

"Brother Liang, I'm really happy that you can figure it out."

Standing between the two groups of soldiers, Wen Wen looked at Liang Zhen, who had a difficult expression on his face, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Brother Wen, I just don't want so many brothers to die in vain."

Liang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Since there is no chance of winning, let's just leave it at that."

"Brother Liang is absolutely right."

Wen Wen smiled and nodded: "I have already negotiated with General Meng outside the city. Dafeng will never kill any of us. Brother Liang, don't worry about this."

"Okay, that's good."

Liang Zhen turned his head to look at Liang Qin beside him, and when he turned his head again, his vision was a little blurry.

Wen Wen certainly noticed the tears in Liang Zhen's eyes, but he just thought that the latter felt guilty towards Daning, so he did not ask any more questions, but just changed the subject and asked:

"Brother Liang, the Shuzhou army doesn't seem to be fully staffed? Where are the others?"

“They are unwilling to surrender to the enemy.”

Liang Zhen lowered his head and answered silently: "Some people are willing to fight to the death with Dafeng, and some people want to hide and wait for an opportunity to escape. Let them do it."

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations, and you can't force them."

Wen Wen nodded in agreement, then sighed with regret: "It's a pity."

Unfortunately Liang Zhen understood the meaning of the words, and his mood became more complicated for a moment.

Contrary to what Wen Wen said, what was truly a pity were the thousands of "rebel soldiers" behind him.

“Boom!”

Outside the city, the sound of majestic footsteps came closer and closer, and then slowly stopped.

A messenger ran up to the two men and whispered, "General Wen, General Liang!"

"The Dafeng army has arrived outside the city!"

"knew."

Wen Wen waved his hand, looked at Liang Zhen who was in tears, and sighed softly after a while: "Brother Liang, I will be the criminal."

"Take off your armor!"

“.”

“Clatter!”

Under the cold moonlight, nearly ten thousand pieces of white armor fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Wen Wen also took off his spotless white-feathered general's armor and held it neatly across his chest.

He just held up the armor, looked straight ahead, and walked step by step to the front of everyone.

Then, he stopped and drank loudly.

"Open the gates!"

“BOOM!!”

From March 27th to April 18th.

The gate of Yuanzhou City, which had not been opened for 22 days, slammed down at this moment.

For Dafeng, whether Wenwen and Liang Zhen surrendered or not actually had no impact on the war situation.

Even if the latter chooses to defend to the death, Yuanzhou City will be captured tonight.

Therefore, accepting "surrender" is more of a psychological strategy.

The defection of the two state generals to surrender was not only a boost to Dafeng's morale, but also a heavy blow to Daning.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Therefore, not only would they not kill these surrendered soldiers, but they would also treat them with preferential treatment, so that they could serve as "positive examples" to the other soldiers of Daning.

It is even possible that Wen Wen and Liang Zhen could get some official positions and become typical figures of "abandoning darkness and joining the light" in Dafeng.

Of course, this is all later.

The most important thing right now is to take over Yuanzhou City smoothly.

"General Wen!"

Seeing that Wen Wen had walked a hundred steps away from him with his armor raised, the big man in golden armor turned over and dismounted, taking two quick steps to meet him.

This man was none other than the commander-in-chief of Dafeng, Meng Shi.

"General Meng, I, Wenwen, am just a defeated general. My life and death are at your disposal."

Wen Wenju knelt on one knee and said, "I hope the general will not embarrass the brothers behind me."

"No! General Wen, please get up quickly!"

Facing Wen Wen, Meng Shi gave him enough face and immediately stepped forward to help him up.

"Since General Wen and his brothers have already turned from evil to good, why should we be in trouble?"

"Don't worry, I, Meng Shi, always keep my word!"

“.”

Although the two of them probably reached a consensus on these matters long ago, they still had to express their opinions in such a public occasion.

Therefore, Wen Wen immediately responded loudly: "General, please be lenient. I am grateful to you!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearty laughter echoed in the night sky. Even though the Dafeng soldiers behind Meng Shi looked at the Liangzhou soldiers with unfriendly eyes, and some even looked at them with contempt and disdain, no one dared to disobey military orders. They all stood still and did not even have the intention of tying up the Liangzhou soldiers.

There is really no need to tie it up.

Anyway, the Liangzhou army has already taken off their armor and abandoned their swords. Their combat effectiveness has dropped by at least 80%. If a real fight breaks out, they will pose no threat at all.

But "Brother Wen, that must be General Liang."

Looking at the other group of Green Armored Army that followed the Liangzhou Army out of the city, Meng Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wen Wen's expression also froze at this moment.

Because including Liang Zhen and Liang Qin, none of the thousands of Shuzhou soldiers took off their armor.

“.”

Wen Wen and Meng Shi did not think that Liang Zhen was going to fight to the death. They just thought that he did not trust Dafeng's sincerity in "surrendering", so they were on guard.

Faced with this situation, normally one should send someone to forcibly remove the armor and tie him up.

However, doing so would make him seem too "stingy". After a little thought, Meng Shi gave up this plan and went to meet Liang Zhen with Wen Wen.

"Hahaha, General Liang, I've heard a lot about you!"

Meng Shi shouted "peaceful" from afar with a look on his face, but Liang Zhen on the opposite side said nothing.

At this time, thousands of well-equipped Shuzhou troops were only a hundred steps away from tens of thousands of Dafeng troops, and only a few dozen steps away from Meng Shi.

This distance is not close, but it is also far enough to just exert some effort.

"Click!"

Meng Shi's years of experience in fighting on the battlefield made him stop suddenly, and a sense of crisis instantly surged in his heart.

At this moment, with a gust of yellow sand rising from the ground, Liang Zhen suddenly drew out the sword at his waist without any warning.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Behind him, thousands of long swords were unsheathed at the same time, and the sound of golden swords merged into one.

There are no lofty words like "for the sake of Da Ning" or "rather die than surrender", nor are there any unrealistic ideas like "break out of the siege".

All the Shuzhou soldiers just raised their long swords high and rushed madly towards the Dafeng army which was several times larger than theirs.

Their faces were flushed, veins popped out, and even though they knew they were going to die, they still used all their strength to scream the same word : "Kill!!!"
