Chapter 11 Snow Man Bow Knife (Part 2)
No! You must not cry, I have to find a way! Aunt Gu held the hilt of the kitchen knife tightly with both hands, and his chest was undulating violently. Mu Qingyuan took the men to the south gate and there was no news yet. The yamen was full of old, weak, women and children. Not only could they not help, but they would become a burden to the right guard. After hesitation, Aunt Gu ran back to the yamen.
"Friends, sisters!" Aunt Gu shouted in a crying voice: "Commander Yan is fighting. I saw the young men fighting hard to kill the enemy, but there were too many enemies and they were trapped. If they were not rescued, they would become the enemy's sword ghosts!"
"But... what can we... do?" a woman cried.
"We can! We can interfere with the enemy!" Aunt Gu pointed to the gong and cowhide drum left in the treasury. "We only need to make the enemy think that the commander and support are also to distract the enemy's attention, so our army can find a breakthrough! Now, who is willing to go with me?"
Facing the curled-up women and children, Aunt Gu had to pick up a gong and walked to the yamen gate. He stopped and turned around and said, "Save the army, that is, we should save ourselves. Those soldiers, they would have been our sons, husband, father, even if I am an old woman, I will die, and it is worth it to exchange for those young lives!" Then, leaving behind the panic, Aunt Gu ran to where she had been hiding before, seized the opportunity, rang the gong in her hand, and shouted loudly: "June Master, come quickly! Come here in the Tang people, June Master! Call your brothers to kill the enemy!"
This call did not attract much attention from the Tang army. After all, on this fierce battlefield, the shout of an old woman could not be heard in the ears of the warrior who was red-eyed. Aunt Gu tried several times but never had any effect. When she was anxious, she heard the footsteps behind her. The visitor was some women and children who were originally hiding in the yamen. Some of them were carrying big drums, and some were carrying gongs. Among them were women, old men, and children. They began to build momentum at the same time, beating drums and drums, and shouting loudly. Now the effect was achieved. Many Tang soldiers were affected by the shouts and turned back to see if there were really enemies coming. This happened to make Yan Yuxin seize the flaw. He waved the serrated nail-toothed spear and fought a bloody path from the Tang army who were distracted.
After a gap appeared in the airtight encirclement, the right-rank guard threw the gap into a crack at all costs, allowing more robes to escape from the encirclement. The Tang army would never let the duck that was in his mouth fly out of the palm of his hand, immediately shrink the formation, and tightly bit the tail of the right-rank guard again.
At the same time, the loud noises made by Aunt Gu and others also alarmed Mu Qingyuan and the others who were confronting the south city gate. Mu Qingyuan was very familiar with these shouts. Could it be that the enemy broke into the government office? His feet were standing in the snow, and he was so cold that he lost consciousness, but fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. Mu Qingyuan didn't know what the battle of the right guard was, and whether the government office had been captured. What happened that night exceeded his control ability. What's worse was that the people in front of him were not moved at all. The wine shop not far away was basically left with ruins.
"Perhaps the women behind me need protection than looking for a secret passage!" The Qing-faced leader basically disintegrated the men behind Mu Qingyuan. They kept looking back and looking towards the government office where their mothers, wives, and children were there, and they must not sit idly by!
"Master Mu?" Someone finally couldn't help asking. Mu Qingyuan knew that he had completely lost, and had lost to the enemy's attacking skills. He finally looked at Kejian. The other party gave him a positive look. He had no choice but to say angrily before leaving: "The exchange between us is still effective. You have not accepted it yet. Don't be afraid if you have the courage!"
When Mu Qingyuan ran back to the government office with the men, the burning scene of fire made the blood in his body cool from his head to the soles of his feet: the soldiers of the right guard were struggling by the old, weak and weak women and children who were left in the government office, screaming in shock. The Tang army was like a demon who harvested the head of a man, and was crazily robbing human lives against the bloody background. The moment before, he was a living person, and the next moment he became a demon's sword ghost. They splashed with red blood, and they were unwilling eyes. Before tonight, they were young soldiers of the right guard, and they were once a kind boss lady in the shop, a naughty child at the village head, and an old man who was enjoying grandchildren at home, but from tonight they all became the military merits of the Tang army.
Ah! The men roared and rushed into the battle formation. Their eyes were spitting fire. They wanted to kill their enemies. They wanted to protect their wives and children. They wanted to protect their homes. However, they were not well-trained soldiers. They were just people who were busy making a living. They had no fighting skills and no sharp weapons. They had only passionate blood. However, on the battlefield, passionate blood could not save the lives of their relatives, or even their own lives. These men fell one by one in Mu Qingyuan's eyes. Maybe they injured a Tang soldier, but they went to the underworld with their relatives.
Ah! The blood that was frozen into ice boiled again. Mu Qingyuan took off his official uniform and stabbed the sword in his hand into the chest of a Tang Bing. He was not a swordsman in people's eyes, nor the prince of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He was a student proficient in the six arts of Qingshan Academy. He was the governor of Hanzhou. I want to protect the people of Hanzhou! Mu Qingyuan drank and rushed. With the practice of swords that he never left every day, he could protect himself for a while.
Although the people's "liar military information" have temporarily lifted the right guard's siege, Yan Yuxin tried his best to make things happen. The number of brothers around him was too small, and it was decreasing every moment. The robes in red armor that he could see in his eyes were flooded by the brown Tang army. His whole body was no longer under his control. He only knew that he could wield the serrated nail-toothed spear that had already appeared in the gap to resist the waves of enemies rushing forward. Just when he was about to hold on and was about to fall, someone leaned his back on his back. Yan Yuxin had no time to turn his head to see who it was, and could only feel the warmth, straightness and tenacity of his back, like a towering mountain, which made people rely on it and feel at ease.
Mu Qingyuan and Yan Yuxin were back-to-back, serving as each other's support, and made the final resistance with the Tang army. Each Tang soldier who stepped forward to provoke would become the spoils of the two. Until the person wearing bloody red armor ordered the attack to stop, the two looked around at the enemies around, holding up the weapons with trembling hands, and the blood stains on their faces had already covered their eyes.
"It's really a man!" This person clapped, but there was no respect in his eyes. "We Tang soldiers respect heroes the most. All heroes are knowledgeable about the current affairs. You may as well look around and decide whether to continue to persevere!"
The two looked around carefully. Except for them, the other soldiers of the right guards had died in battle. Among the layers of corpses, there were many people from Hanzhou. Those who were still alive were all captured by the Tang army. They knelt down in front of the Hanzhou government office and shivered. Beside them were the Tang army, who was butcher-killing butcher-killing swords.
The man wearing bloody red armor walked up to a kneeling citizen holding a butcher knife, pressed the tip of the knife against his throat, and asked, "My army of tens of thousands of people is easy to kill you two, but now you can give you a chance to surrender. Of course, you can refuse, but I am very patient and will ask again and again. Every time you refuse, I will kill a commoner until the end of the kill! This transaction is fair, Lord Mu, Commander Yan? One of you loves the people as your son, the other loves the soldiers as your son, Humph! Now, the opportunity to love the soldiers is gone, and the opportunity to love the people depends on whether you will seize it!"
Mu Qingyuan was clearly relieved to see Aunt Gu in it. The man in front of him was right. The entire Hanzhou City was already under the control of Xia Tang. With him and Yan Yuxin alone, there was no need to use the army. If there were more than a dozen Tang soldiers, they would be in different places. Death was not difficult, but the key was that they were worthy of death. Just when Mu Qingyuan was determined to surrender, Yan Yuxin behind him finally fell to the ground due to overdrawing of physical strength.
"Commander Yan!" Mu Qingyuan helped Yan Yuxin up, who was already a bloody man. The other party's eyes were still sharp, but his whole body could no longer move. Mu Qingyuan read the same decision as him from his eyes.
"Report your name!"
The man wearing bloody red armor obviously did not expect Mu Qingyuan to throw him in such a question, and he was a little amused and confused, "I am going to General Tang Tuorong - Fan Yi!"
"We surrender and let them go!"
A smile appeared on Fan Yi's lips, "It was already like this, so there would be no need to sacrifice so many lives, right, Commander Yan?" Before Yan Yuxin could speak, Fan Yi cut off the neck of the commoner with a knife.
"We have all surrendered!" Mu Qingyuan roared, his eyes wide open, but Fan Yi became interested instead and pressed the tip of the knife against Aunt Gu's neck. "You surrendered too late!"
"Okay, okay!" Mu Qingyuan threw away his and Yan Yuxin's weapons.
"Kneel down!"
Yan Yuxin's sense of honor made him unable to do such a humble manner. Even though Mu Qingyuan had already knelt down, he refused. Fan Yi stabbed the tip of the knife into Aunt Gu's neck and continued to force him: "The one who called for reinforcements just now is the hardest. If you don't kneel down, I will cut her throat open and see how she still shouts!"
"Mom!" Xiang Kejian, who was taken from the South City Gate, could not break free from the ropes on his body even if he tried hard. But when he saw Aunt Gu's life hanging on his back, he had to kneel on his knees, "I'll kneel down! You let my mother go!"
"How do you teach you on weekdays!" Aunt Gu's eyes were filled with tears, and she was determined to commit suicide by impulses, but Fan Yi took the knife back in time. He said proudly: "I didn't expect an old woman to be so useful! Then I can't let you seek death so easily! Yan Tong, what's wrong with you?" The following sentence was about the man who was obeying Kejian, that's right, the person who came was Yan Tong, the leader of the Qinggu tribe, one of the six tribes.
"General Fan can rest assured that the only secret passage that escaped from the city has been burned into a pile of rubble. Now Hanzhou City is completely under our control!"
"Okay! Thanks to your Master Yan Tong's Tribe and Master Nangong Tribe!" Fan Yi said as he glanced at the black figure who had been standing not far beside him. The only eagle-like eyes exposed were deeply engraved in Mu Qingyuan's mind. "Commander Yan, since you don't want to kneel down, I admire your strong and strong bones, so I have to give you a grievance, come!"
Two Tang soldiers rushed forward and pressed Yan Yuxin, who was already wounded and unsteady, to the ground. Yan Yuxin did not struggle, but just stared at Fan Yi.
"Commander Strictly, save effort. If you reach the city, you will glar at me again. Bind him and hang it to the city to see how hard the iron bone can be!"
"General Fan, please think twice!" Yan Tong clearly opposed "Our plan tonight is to fight quickly and seize Hanzhou City. If he hung him on the top of the city, would General Fan be worried that the news would not leak fast enough?"
Fan Yi curled his lips, "Master Yan's words are reasonable." He turned his head and met Yan Yuxin's gaze. "Come on, prepare a pair of cross-mounts and ask Commander Yan to put on the shelves, so that the people of Hanzhou City can see!"
The soldiers quickly nailed two wooden boards of one and a half height together and fixed them on the front door of the Hanzhou Prefecture Office. Then several people fixed Yan Yuxin's hands and feet to the four points of the wooden frame.
Fan Yi took the marching nail presented by the soldiers, and the slender and sharp nails, walked to Yan Yuxin and threw him a strange smile. Before Yan Yuxin could react, a marching nail pierced into the center of his left palm. Fan Yi punched the nail hard, and the nail penetrated the palm and the wooden board.
Ah! Yan Yuxin's shouting made Mu Qingyuan feel heartbroken. When he saw Fan Yi's palm protected by iron armor, Fan Yi enjoyed the other nail that also pierced Yan Yuxin's right palm. This time the scream did not come out. Yan Yuxin's face turned red, his whole body trembled, and a soft humming sound was made from his mouth. Each sound made the Hanzhou people present uncomfortable.
Fan Yi clapped and said, "I admire you, admire you! It's true that you have done what you said. Let's see how long Commander Yan can last?"
"General Fan!" Yan Tong said again to stop him, "It's getting late, we still have some serious business!"
Fan Yi couldn't hold it in this time. Just as he was about to have an attack, the black figure moved and stopped Fan Yi and said, "General Fan, King Khan is still waiting for your good news." This voice is very magnetic, low and powerful, with a magic power that makes people unable to stop.
"Okay!" Fan Yi dragged out a long tail sound, "Let's do the job! Detain all these people, and the dog official was put in a cage alone!"
