Chapter 120 Arousing Public Indignation

Xiao Langmo glared at Xiao Langtian fiercely and shouted: "Xiao Langtian, you insidious and cunning villain, see if I don't kill you!" Xiao Langmo stood up and picked up the sword.

He stabbed straight towards Xiao Langtian. Xiao Langtian knew that he was no match for Xiao Langmo, so he quickly retreated behind and was blocked by the Red Shadow Army. He laughed and said,

"Xiao Langmo, just kill me! This prince is not afraid of you, so let my Red Shadow Army serve you well! Hahahaamp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;

••" Xiao Langtian laughed a few times, waved his sleeves, then turned and left.

Xiao Langmo just got up to catch up, but was entangled by the Red Shadow Army again. The Yueling Army, which was surrounded in the middle, saw Xiao Langmo fighting with the Red Shadow Army, and shouted "Fight!" and moved towards the Red Shadow Army together.

The army went to kill them. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shadows, and the shouts of killing continued.

After a fierce battle, part of the Yue Ling Army broke out of the encirclement, and Xiao Langmo also escaped smoothly. In addition, the weapons became heavier and heavier at night. Once they fled into the woods, it would be difficult for General Hongying to find them.

After Xiao Langmo and the escaped Yueling Army fled back to Pingcheng, it was already dawn. They returned to the magistrate's mansion exhausted, only to find that the county magistrate had long since disappeared, and most of the people in the mansion had also left.

Xiao Langmo suddenly realized that it was the prefect of Pingcheng who leaked the secret.

After last night's battle, they had already lost a lot of troops. Judging from the troops he brought over, there are still half of them left. It seems that they can only wait for reinforcements to arrive before they can fight again. If the Red Shadow Army attacks again, they will

The only thing left is to resist. As for how long he can resist, Xiao Langmo doesn't know.

But just before they could take a breath, Xiao Langtian's Red Shadow Army came. Although Xiao Langmo threw the generals to fight to the death, Pingcheng was still captured in the end.

The moment the Red Shadow Army captured the city, they rushed in like a scourge. They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The people were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

The first moment was terrifying. There is nothing more pitiable than a panicked crowd! They scrambled to get their weapons. They shouted and ran, and many fell down.

The people who were attacked did not know what they were doing. They ran around and sometimes bumped into their own people. Some people who were frightened and fainted ran out of the house, ran into the house, and ran out again, at a loss.

Running around in the fight. The family is shouting to each other.

It was a tragic battle, and even women and children were involved in it. The whistling shells dragged long rays of light across the sky. Sharp arrows shot out from every corner. There was thick smoke and chaos everywhere.

The shouts of killing and the roar of artillery carts were intertwined, adding to the chaos. The horses also jumped in fright. People trampled on the injured people. There were groans everywhere in the ground. These people were frightened, and those who were frightened fainted.

Soldiers and officers looked for each other. Amidst all this, some maintained a sullen indifference.

A woman was sitting against a wall, crying for her baby. Her husband was lying next to her, with his back against the wall, bleeding from his body. Some old and frail old women were kneeling on the ground in pain.

He begged the soldiers to let him go, but he was kicked away by the red shadow army or killed with a knife. For a while, the city was filled with shouts and noises.

However, Xiao Langmo still refused to give up, saving the helpless people one by one. Finally, General Wang saw that the Red Shadow Army was getting larger and larger, and they could no longer resist it, so he pulled Xiao Langmo and retreated.

But no matter how hard they pulled, Xiao Langmo wouldn't leave.

"No, I can't leave, I want to stay and save them!" Xiao Langmo roared loudly, his face was covered with dripping blood, and he couldn't tell which ones belonged to the enemy and which ones were his own.

"Prince! Leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood! Leave quickly!" General Li pulled Xiao Langmo and shouted fiercely in his ear.

Xiao Langmo was stunned for a moment, and looked at the people who died tragically on the ground and the Red Shadow Army who were running toward them menacingly. He waved the shirt in his hand fiercely, then turned around and mounted his horse and left with General Li and the others. This is

The most embarrassing time in Xiao Langmo's life was also the most shameful time for him.

This Pingcheng is a barrier for the imperial capital of Shuxing Kingdom. If this barrier is breached, the city below will be extremely easy to attack. In other words, you can drive straight in and attack the imperial capital directly.

Therefore, one can imagine how difficult Xiao Langmo’s next battle will be. Although Emperor Xiao was in the palace, he sent spies to report on the frontline battle situation every day. When he learned that Xiao Langmo had

During the war, when he lost two major battles in a row and left less than half of the army he brought with him, he was very worried and his body was declining day by day.

Since there has been no war in Shuxing Kingdom for many years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials are used to lining their own pockets and living a life of enjoyment. When they heard that there was going to be a war, they all lost their official titles and fled with their family and property. As the saying goes: Born from sorrow,

Die in peace and happiness. It is precisely because of the greed for life and fear of death of these city guard officials that the enemy army becomes more arrogant and attacks the city easier, which in turn brings a lot of trouble to Xiao Langmo and the others.

So when Xiao Langmo came to Yecheng, the scene was that everything was desolate, there was no one on the street, every household either ran away or closed their doors tightly. The Yueling Army suffered heavy losses this time, and many soldiers were injured.

, the military doctor also died in the war, and now we can only ask for help from the doctors in the city, but the pharmacies on the street are either empty or have their doors locked.

Although Xiao Langmo is the prince of a country and has every right to arrest some doctors, Xiao Langmo understands that once he does this, he will only lose the support of the people and make the people panic, which may lead to riots. But those who were injured

If the soldiers don't save them, they will die in vain.

Just when everyone was frowning, a child suddenly ran out of the street and was chasing a Cuju ball that rolled out of the alley. As a result, the child ran too fast, fell down, and fell to the ground crying.

When Xiao Langmo saw it, he quickly ran over, helped the child up, patted the dust on his body, smiled at him and said: "

How can a man cry just because he fell? This is so ungrateful."

Everyone had never seen Xiao Langmo be so gentle to anyone, and they all looked at Xiao Langmo in surprise.

After listening to Xiao Langmo's words, the child stopped crying and stared at Xiao Langmo with a pair of big round eyes. After a while, he suddenly smiled.

"Brother, are you a general?" The child tilted his head and asked innocently.

"Yes, how did you know?" Xiao Langmo smiled and touched the child's head. Compared with his usual serious look, he looked completely different.

"Because the armor you are wearing is so powerful! Xiaohu will also be a general when he grows up!" The child said with a proud look on his face, making the soldiers behind Xiao Lang ink box laugh.

"Little tiger, little tiger•amp;#8226;•amp;#8226;"

"Mom, I'm here!" the child responded loudly.

The child's mother originally heard the child's response and ran out of the alley with a face of joy. But when she saw her child being held by Xiao Langmo, she ran over as if she had seen a devil and plopped down.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Xiao Langmo while crying, and begged bitterly,

"General, please let my child go, please!"

"Sister-in-law, you should get up first! I didn't want to hurt your child, it's just that he just fell and I helped him up." Xiao Langmo smiled helplessly and put the child down.

The child hurriedly ran to his mother's arms and said with a smile: "Mom, the eldest brother is a good person. Just now the little tiger fell, and it was this brother who helped the little tiger up. The little tiger didn't cry! Big brother, right?"

The child smiled innocently at Xiao Lang.

"Yes, the little tiger is very brave." Xiao Lang said with a smile. He was about to use his hand to ink the child's head, but he pulled back. After all, the people here seemed to be very wary of them, otherwise they wouldn't

There is no one in the huge city.

"Thank you, General." The woman smiled timidly, wiped away her tears, then hugged the child and prepared to leave.

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute! I have something else I want to ask, is that okay?" Xiao Langmo looked at the mother and son leaving, and suddenly remembered that maybe this sister-in-law could help them.

The woman stopped and hesitated for a long time, then turned back and looked at Xiao Langmo: "General, can you ask me something? But I, a woman, can't help you."

"Sister-in-law, I just want to ask if all the people here have left. Many of our soldiers have been injured and military doctors have also died. If no one comes to save them, I'm afraid their sacrifices will be in vain." Xiao Lang

Mo said with a hint of sadness that if these soldiers died like this, then he would be very sorry for them.

The woman looked at Xiao Langmo's sincere look and was moved by his emotions, because his husband was also drafted into the army, so she could help a little. Maybe the more soldiers she saved, the more her husband would be.

Although she may be reviled by her fellow villagers for doing so.

"Okay, let me tell you. In fact, most of the villagers have not left, only a few

Rich people have gone to seek refuge with relatives elsewhere, and that's all I can tell you." After the woman finished speaking, she quickly turned around and left.

But just after taking two steps, the doors of every house on both sides of the street suddenly opened. Everyone was holding vegetable baskets, hoes, and sticks in their hands, and shouted loudly towards the woman,

"You bitch, your husband went to war, and you want to take the lives of innocent people like us? Do you think this bitch deserves to die?!"

"Yes, damn it! Beat her to death! Beat her to death!" The people said, picking up rotten cabbage and eggs and throwing them at the woman and child.

"Mom, I'm scared. Ugh, why are you bullying us?"

#8226;amp;#8226;amp;#8226;

Those eggs and rotten cabbage.

"Everyone, stop! Everyone, please stop!" Xiao Langmo quickly stepped forward to block the mother and son, shouting loudly, but not only did no one pay attention to him, but the beating became even more fierce.

"Stop it! This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" General Li couldn't stand it any longer. He rushed forward, drew out the saber from his waist, and pointed it at the mob, exuding a murderous aura.

As expected, the mob was frightened and immediately stopped what they were doing. Even the woman hiding behind Xiao Langmo was shocked. They did not expect that he was actually the high and mighty Crown Prince.

But I don’t know who shouted: “You don’t care who His Highness the Crown Prince is, they have discovered our whereabouts anyway, sooner or later we will be robbed of everything and then killed by them, so why don’t we all fight to the death!”

"Yes, kill them! Kill them!" The mobs all responded in unison, raised their "weapons" and walked towards Xiao Langmo and the others.

When the Yueling Army saw that the mob was going to harm Xiao Langmo, they all rushed forward in a fighting manner. The mob's hands were filled with vegetables, hoes, and hammers. How could they compare to the real swords and guns of the Yueling Army?

He was so frightened that he backed away.

"If any of you dares to take a step forward and harm His Highness the Crown Prince, I will kill him!" General Wang stood in front of Xiao Langmo with a long sword and said menacingly.

Unexpectedly, not only were the mobs not threatened, but they were even more excited, and they were about to rush over.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and Xiao Langmo did something that shocked everyone. General Wang turned around and saw Xiao Langmo kneeling straight on the ground. Everyone present fell down.

He took a breath and looked at Xiao Langmo in shock.

"Prince, how can you kneel down to the people casually when you have gold under your knees?!" General Wang quickly stood aside and helped Xiao Langmo up.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Langmo pushed General Wang away, stared ahead, looked at the mob with a firm face, and said sincerely,

"If the gold under my knees can save those soldiers who are in danger, I will be willing to kneel down thousands of times!"

The mob looked at each other with shame on their faces. No one dared to take a step forward. For a moment, they didn't know what to do. The two sides were in a stalemate.

"Folks, I know that war scares you. It's my fault that I can't stop the war from destroying our homeland. But now the battle has begun and our country is in trouble. If even we ourselves are against our own army,

Protect our country, who else will protect us?

Think about it, you can still stand here holding hoes in your hands and talking, but many of our soldiers have died on the battlefield to protect you, and you can no longer stand up or say a word. Could it be that
