"The emperor has passed away. Do we...do we still have a way to survive?"

"How...how did it get to this point?"

Sitting paralyzed under the city wall, someone whispered.

Everyone around them was silent. As ordinary garrison soldiers, they had no right to resist. If they didn't obey orders, they would die, or even worse, harm their families.

Isn't it the emperor's order...

Why were they abandoned.

Looking at the bright sun in the sky, everyone just felt desolate.

"We, let's surrender..."

A garrison licked his lips and spoke with hope.

"drop?"

Someone immediately laughed stupidly, "The Xiangwu Guards are clearly going to kill us. Surrendering will only make us die faster."

The garrison covered his face and cried bitterly, "Why do you want to massacre the city? Why... massacre the city..."

"What's the point of crying now? It was against the order at the beginning."

"I heard that Marshal Su's son Su Xian has raised an army in Sui'an County. He is an army of benevolence and righteousness. If we surrender and tell us why, he will definitely give us a way to survive."

"Stop saying this kind of thing. Colonel Feng needs to know, do you want to follow in Zhu Qing's footsteps?"

An older garrison said coldly.

Everyone suffocated immediately, but Zhu Qing just said that massacre of the city was a serious crime, and the garrison's sword could not be swung at innocent women and children.

Just by saying this, he was cut into pieces on the spot, his face was so bloody that he couldn't even put it together.

Deathly silence and desolation enveloped the garrison.

"No matter what, we are going to die, so why not fight for a way out and follow Su Xian? At least we have a chance to atone for our sins!"

One person stood up, pulled off the helmet on his head, and then dropped it.

"right!"

The garrison's mood was aroused, and his eyes became a little angry.

"You are afraid of death, I will come."

"If you are lucky enough to escape and find Marshal Su, I will tell him that the massacre of the city was ordered by the emperor, and everyone was forced."

"We didn't take action at all in the villages and towns along the way."

"It's all done by those bastards like Lieutenant Feng."

"At that time, we should cooperate internally and externally to make up for our mistakes!"

"I want to be with you!"

People stood up, first one, then more and more.

They clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, trying to get a chance for themselves.

"It's broad daylight now. If you run away, you'll be caught soon. Let's take action at night."

"If you want to tell the truth, go ahead and I'll be waiting for you down there!"

After glancing at everyone, the garrison soldier who threw his helmet said coldly.

Everyone also looked at each other with warning and precaution in their eyes.

In fear, night finally covered up the day.

The five people groped their way to the city wall. As soon as the patrolling garrison left, they threw the rope over and climbed over the city wall one by one.

As soon as he landed, he ran forward.

After running a long distance, they stopped breathing heavily, "Out...out?"

Some people can't believe that if there was any abnormal movement in the past, it would be discovered immediately.

Then came the beating.

Today went so smoothly.

"Don't delay, let's go."

One person wiped his sweat and moved on.

At this moment, a cold light flashed through, the man's eyes widened, he covered his neck and fell down.

At almost the same moment, two other garrison soldiers also had their throats cut.

The two people who made the move looked at each other, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Early in the morning, looking at the three corpses hanging on the city wall, the garrison soldiers felt sad and lowered their heads.

Some people who tried to escape gave up their thoughts.

All the soldiers in the garrison listened to the instruction numbly.

Even though the sun is out, I still feel so cold.

"It's strangely quiet today."

In the mansion, Wen Heng sat on a soft pillow with the help of a servant.

"Young master is really keen. Most of the people went to Chang County under the leadership of the marshal."

"Chang County?"

Wen Heng frowned, "Xian'er is going to wipe out the garrison?"

"The Xiangwu Guards have been unable to capture the garrison, and women and children are being slaughtered every day. The marshal cannot sleep at night, and is determined to kill the garrison first, and then attack Jian'an."

"He never said anything to me." A look of worry appeared in Wen Heng's eyes. The garrison has been practicing all year round, and its strength is extremely strong, far beyond what the militiamen under Xian'er can compare with.

In the past, we still didn’t know who was suppressing whom.

"Don't worry, sir. The marshal never does anything he's not sure of. Just wait for him to come back victorious."

The boy handed the decoction to Wen Heng.

"The battlefield is very dangerous."

Wen Heng frowned, how could he really feel at ease?

Apart from his grandfather, Su Xian is his only relative.

It's not easy to meet each other, but I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen to the other person.

"Sir, please don't forget whose son the marshal is. Which one in the Su family is not a legend, and among them, marshal Su is the most legendary." The boy said with a smile.

Wen Heng didn't say much and could only hope that Su Xian would return safely.

Night fell again, and the sleeping garrison was pushed awake.

"Hu Er!"

Looking at the people in front of them, the garrison looked surprised. Although there were only three corpses on the city wall, in the garrison's opinion, they must have all been killed.

"You, you're not dead?"

"Don't be dazed. Listen to me. Marshal Su is just outside Chang County. He has promised not to kill anyone who surrenders."

"Go and wake everyone up now. We will assist Marshal Su in attacking Chang County."

"Is this true?"

The garrison's eyes lit up.

"At this time, would I lie to you?"

"Hurry up."

After Hu Er finished speaking, he went to another camp.

Under the night, more and more people are passing by.

"You guys stay here and Xie Jian takes 3,000 people with me to explore Tanchang County."

Putting away the terrain map, "Su Xian" said in a deep voice.

"yes."

Everyone took the order and left.

Chang County, Captain Feng's tent, he tore off a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, looked outside, with a look of ridicule in his eyes.

Tonight, I am tired again.

The garrison held daggers in hand and kept approaching the garrison under the city wall.

"Who!"

Following the shouts of the guards, the guards rose up and thrust their blades into the guards' bodies.
