Facing Ta Lu's butcher knife, the three of them looked at each other and saw deep disappointment in each other's eyes.
"Yes, my subordinates are going to gather the troops and fight the enemy to the death." A captain replied loudly, then pulled the other two captains and left in a hurry.
Outside the hall, the two captains shook off each other's pull.
"If you want to fight to the death, the two of us will never agree. Don't you know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is? What's more, we have been vassal to the Ming Dynasty for so many years. Even if they come to attack us, we are at fault first and should be punished
Punishment. If we raise troops to resist again, wouldn’t this be the following crime?”
The two captains said angrily.
"Hey, do you really think that I am going to gather my troops and go out of the city for a decisive battle? Didn't you see the king's expression? If we don't agree to him, his butcher's knife will immediately chop off our heads."
"Just chop it off. If you are hacked to death by the king, it is the king's fault. But if we fight against the Ming Dynasty, we will be guilty of treason." The two said again.
"Then what should we do? It would be disloyal for us to ignore the king and run for our own lives. To obey the king and raise an army to fight against the Ming army, not to mention throwing an egg against a stone, but to surrender to the country and fight against the master's fault, is absolutely treason."
"Alas." The two captains sighed and squatted on the ground holding their heads.
The only way to survive is to escape.
But if the king doesn't run away, how can they abandon the king and run away on their own?
"Otherwise, we won't escape or fight back, and we'll just leave it to fate." A captain suggested.
"You don't have to run away, you can't escape even if you run away. Don't even think about fighting back. The result of fighting back will be to kill everyone and leave no one behind."
A rather young-sounding male voice came from a distance.
The three of them were shocked.
The two captains who were squatting on the ground stood up instantly. The three of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
Did you see it wrong?
How can this be?
What came towards me was a group of people dressed in the clothes of Ryukyu people.
When did the people of Ryukyu dare to talk to themselves like this?
The three of them were about to have a fit, but were suddenly stunned on the spot.
There were a hundred or so people on the other side, all of them young and middle-aged.
What are they wearing on their waists, and why have they never been seen in Ryukyu Kingdom?
Moreover, how could ordinary people still have knives hanging on the other side of their bodies?
Everyone's knives are exactly the same, just like the army's knives.
No, these people are not Ryukyu people, they are the army. They are the Ming army wearing the clothes of Ryukyu people.
The three of them were shocked, and their first reaction was to run away.
"Don't think about escaping, you can't escape." The young man in the lead, "Common Man", greeted with a smile on his face.
"Who are you? You are not Ryukyu people." A captain shouted loudly and pulled out the Japanese sword at his waist with a "chila" sound.
The other two captains also involuntarily drew their swords.
"That's right, you're bound to die anyway, no matter how hard you fight, there are at least ten men who have to fight hard." Xiao Chen walked up to a few people with a smile, "Look at your clothes, and
That Buqi's clothes are exactly the same, sentiment, you three are all captains."
"That's not right, Buqi told me. There are four captains in this city. Where is the other one? Call him out. If you die together, you won't be lonely down there." Xiao Chen looked around a few times and said with a smile.
"Have you seen Captain Buqi? What did you do to him?" The three of them asked hurriedly with fear in their hearts.
"Dead, there is no one left alive in Guzhichuan City."
"Who are you? The Ming army will not massacre the people. You said that there is not even a single person alive in Guzhichuan City, and you won't even spare the people?" The three of them stared, seemingly extremely angry, but they were waiting.
.
Wait for your subordinates. Seeing that you haven't gone back for a long time, you will bring someone to look for him.
"No, no, no, no." Xiao Chen raised his right hand, "You are right, we are the army of the Ming Dynasty. As for why we suddenly came to Ryukyu and killed the Ryukyu army without explanation, you should know the reason.
Ming. As for these words, I won’t go on too much. However, although you are about to become dead, there is no need to defend the dead. However, our Ming army will not take the blame for the massacre of the people. What we killed was just Bu.
A large group led by Qi. But the people of Guzhichuan City were killed by Buqi when the city was breached."
Looking at the three of them, Xiao Chen said slowly and seriously.
Xiao Chen didn't bother to tell anyone about anything else.
Only regarding the attitude of the people, Xiao Chen did not want anyone to misunderstand him.
In his mind, the people are his real parents.
Without those ordinary people who have lived their lives in poverty but can't see any human suffering in their eyes, giving themselves a mouthful of hot or cold rice, many years ago, I would have been buried in an unknown stinking ditch.
Although this is Ryukyu, people from all over the world are interconnected.
They are all honest people who live at the lowest level and don't know how to fight in court or intrigue. They just work hard and want to use their own hands and hard work to solve the problem of food and clothing for their families.
As long as they don't take up arms, these people and the army have no reason to massacre.
"Impossible, how could Captain Buchi kill our Ryukyu people?" a captain retorted loudly.
A pair of eyes took the opportunity to look at the direction of Xiao Chen and others.
How could such an act escape Xiao Chen's eyes?
And Xiao Chen could clearly see how they were waiting for the guards to arrive.
However, the smile on his face has not diminished at all.
"I won't lie to the dead. And the reinforcements you are waiting for may not come." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
The three of them did not speak, but the right hand holding the handle of the Japanese sword secretly increased its strength.
"The gunpowder arrows of the Ming army not only destroyed your defenses, but also destroyed your military morale. After staying here for so long, even if your men were not killed, they began to hide in Tibet in a panic.
Forget you captains." Looking at the three of them, Xiao Chen's eyes were full of mockery.
For the accomplices who killed Duan Tianming, Xiao Chen not only wanted them to pay with their lives, but also wanted to punish them before they died.
"No, it's impossible. Those squadron leaders were all promoted by us. They will not abandon us and escape for their own lives." A captain shouted loudly.
Failure in battle is not terrible, it is just that your skills are inferior to others.
But he couldn't accept the abandonment and betrayal of his subordinates.
If a disaster strikes and your subordinates all go their separate ways, it means that you are a complete failure as a human being.
"Why not? Aren't you guys discussing how to abandon your Shannan King and save your own lives?" Xiao Chen laughed brightly.
He raised his right hand and pointed at Wang Gong in front of him: "Inside, your king, your Shannan King Talu, is waiting for you to gather your troops and rush out of the city with him to fight with the Ming army. What are you doing? Are you there?
What to discuss?”
The three of them were ashamed, their faces turned red, and they were speechless for a moment.
Although Haimen made a move to abandon King Shannan, they refused to gather their troops and followed King Shannan out of the city to fight, which was already disloyal.
As the highest commander of the army, refusing to carry out the orders of his own king is enough to be despised.
This is disloyalty, this is betrayal, this is selfishness and cowardice.
"I, we." Just as the three of them were about to tell each other, Xiao Chen interrupted them again.
"Of course, it's really hard to say whether King Shannan would be so righteous and escape secretly while you were fighting with the Ming army. People are selfish, let alone when faced with a life or death decision. You can all do it.
If you abandon him, why will he abandon you?"
"Alas." Xiao Chen let out a long sigh, "Perhaps you are all of the same species, and you are all just flying away when disaster strikes."
"The king has said that he will fight you to the death. He will not run away from the battlefield, and he will not abandon us and escape secretly." The three captains stared and shouted loudly.
He is the captain of Shannan, and Taru is the king of Shannan.
For these outsiders, they did not allow anyone to slander their king wantonly.
"Really?" Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth, "Perhaps Ta Lu is still packing his things in the palace and preparing to escape."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Okay, follow me in and see what your Shannan King is doing now." After saying that, Xiao Chen nodded towards the captain behind him, "Tie them up."
However, just as the captain was stalking the three of them, the Japanese swords in the hands of the three struck at Xiao Chen's neck at the same time.
