Chapter 44 tragic

These scenes of terror, not to mention the hastily formed peasant army, which lacked effective organization and training, even regular troops, were unbearable and unbearable to look directly at.

"Ah, ah, ah, this is hell, hell..."

The soldier who escaped by luck, stained with the blood of his comrades, climbed up from the sea of ​​corpses, shouted like crazy, and fled back desperately.

"I won't rebel anymore, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

"Mother, mother, mother, I want to go home..."

How helpless they are at this moment.

They are no longer soldiers, they no longer have the courage to resist, they are just a group of poor children who are homeless and cannot find a home.

They dropped their swords and guns, their shields, their bows and arrows, and everything they could, just to get away from here as soon as possible, away from the group of devils who wanted to take them to hell.

In less than a minute, a team of 1 people, including those who had just retreated from the siege, threw down the siege equipment and weapons under the spread of panic, and joined the rout. in the crowd.

Seeing the completely disintegrated troops, Zhou Chongyu, as the coach, just watched all this dullly.

It seemed that there was only the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in front of him, which was completely filled with tragic red. Wang Xing beside him shouted: "Steady, steady, don't run away, don't run away."

However, Zhou Chongyu didn't seem to hear it, didn't respond, and didn't give any order.

He couldn't understand why the enemy didn't rush forward to fight, but stayed more than 100 steps away before attacking.

What's even more frightening is that their weapons are really so terrifying. They are more than 100 steps away, not only so fierce, but also have such terrifying lethality.

"Is there a magic weapon? Are there really magic weapons?" Zhou Chongyu's lips moved slightly, and the voice of mumbling to himself could only be heard by himself.

Seeing that the formation on the other side quickly disintegrated, and the soldiers began to flee desperately, Tangning immediately shouted, "Stop shooting."

The order was conveyed quickly, and the terrifying roar of MG42 stopped abruptly, and a few soldiers who reacted slower fired another shot.

As the sporadic gunshots subsided, the entire battlefield seemed to have suddenly fallen into silence.

Tangning didn't give an order to move forward. All the soldiers just maintained an attacking stance, without saying a word, and let the crowd continue to flee.

"General, general, retreat quickly, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

After Wang Xing failed to stop the fleeing soldiers, he knew that he was powerless, so he reluctantly summoned more than a dozen subordinates who hadn't escaped in time to return to Zhou Chongyu's side.

However, Zhou Chongyu remained indifferent, with only sadness and desolation in his eyes.

The surrounding soldiers all fled away, and more than a dozen people standing alone were revealed.

Looking at the muzzles of the black holes pointing here, several people fell to their knees directly on the ground with their legs limp.

A few others howled, no longer caring about Zhou Chongyu and Wang Xing, and fled back.

Wang Xing wanted to stop him, but he couldn't utter the words, because he couldn't control the fear that spread to every pore in his body.

Because he himself knew that as long as the other side moved his finger, his king would die without a place to bury him.

"Leave me alone, run away by yourselves." It seemed that Zhou Chongyu woke up at this time, and he sighed heavily as if he had exhausted all the strength in his body.

Wang Xing wanted to persuade him again, but his body didn't listen, he hurriedly said "Take care of the general", then turned around and ran away.

The rest of the soldiers scrambled and crawled to keep up.

At the first step of fleeing, Wang Xing's originally somewhat proud faith collapsed, leaving only endless desire to survive.

He prayed that the soldiers of the new army would not shoot. He prayed that Tangning would not mind his rudeness on Red Lotus Mountain. He prayed...

He has a lot to pray for, and it seems that only by praying non-stop can he disperse the sense of fear sweeping his body.

He ran all the way for an unknown distance, until he couldn't run anymore, Wang Xing reluctantly turned his head and glanced, except for a few subordinates, there was no other figure in sight.

Wang Xing's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees directly, and then lay on his back on the cold ground, looking at the blue sky, as if he had been reborn.

In the huge temporary camp, apart from the corpses and various weapons scattered all over the place, as well as the groans of the wounded from time to time, there was only a solitary figure standing there, motionless.

Under Tangning's leadership, the soldiers of the new army came over silently.

On the city tower of Chenghai County, there was also a complete silence at this time.

The soldiers who were already too exhausted to stand up did not take advantage of this rare opportunity to rest, but worked hard to get up and look into the distance.

The wounded also stopped screaming in pain, and there seemed to be something in the distance that was very attractive, diverting their attention and making them forget the pain.

Not long ago, Liu Gong, the county magistrate, arrived in a hurry after being notified by the city guard officer. After climbing up the tower, he happened to see the terrifying power of the new army defeating two thousand enemy troops with lightning speed.

Facing everything he saw with his own eyes, Liu Gong felt mixed emotions, including excitement, shock, and disbelief.

In the distance, a group of soldiers was slowly approaching the city gate. There were not many of them, only a little over 200 at best.

If such a small number of people are placed before, no matter how elite they are, in front of the towering city wall, the soldiers guarding the city, including Liu Gong, will not pay attention to them.

But at this moment, the footsteps of that group of soldiers were not fast, but every step they got closer, there was an indescribable sense of oppression, which made people feel that they could not afford any rivalry.

Liu Gong stared at him, and couldn't help exerting a little force on the palm of his hand on the city wall. At this time, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

The enemy army was finally repelled, and it was a big retreat. It must be impossible to stop an effective attack in a short time, and the crisis in Chenghai County was resolved.

However, a force more terrifying than the enemy is pressing towards Chenghai County. They are reinforcements sent by Liu Gong.

At this moment, Liu Gong couldn't guarantee whether they were enemies or friends.

Therefore, Liu Gong now does not know whether to open the city gate and let them enter the city.

If the other party just attacked Guo by false means, and after entering the city, they took Chenghai County together, I am afraid that Liu Gong would be the sinner of Chenghai County.

However, it seems immoral to shut out the friendly forces who provide a huge helping hand.

If Tangning wanted to win Chenghai County, this would be a very suitable excuse.

Because of this, Liu Gong seemed very embarrassed.

The city guard officer seemed to see Liu Gong's entanglement, and he said: "My lord, in front of them, we can't open the city gate. It doesn't seem to make much difference. On the contrary, it will irritate them."

When Liu Gong heard this, he couldn't help being startled, yes, facing such a team, with the strength of Chenghai County at this time, what difference does it make if it can't open the city gate?

In case Tangning didn't want to attack the county, shutting them out right now would make things worse.

Thinking of this, Liu Gong no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Open the city gate!"
