Chapter 132 The God of War Dies, Today I Know Who I Am! (Subscribe)
At this moment, Mingshan.
Deep in the mountains, heavy rain was pouring down and the world was in chaos.
Dark clouds rolled, lightning split the sky, and deafening thunder followed one after another, as if it was the venting of the wrath of the gods.
Endless rain curtains hung under the sky like a curtain, and every drop of rain was like a silver needle falling from the sky, sharp and dense.
The heavy rain gathered into small ponds on the ground and finally gathered into the turbulent Ming River.
"brothers!!!"
"We must protect Mingshan no matter what!!!"
On the river bank, Lin Zhongyun looked at the surging river water and immediately sighed.
He had no intention of digging up the riverbank on his own initiative.
After all, this kind of thing is against the will of heaven and earth. If I do this, what I have always said about helping the people will undoubtedly become false, and I will definitely receive a lot of complaints.
There is something very true about what "Wolong" said.
For Lin Zhongyun now, reputation is the most important thing.
What Lin Zhongyun has to do is to defend Mingshan and wait for Minghe to burst its banks!
Only in this way will people all over the world blame this matter entirely on the unjust government! !
In the past few days, because Mingshan is close to both Anli City and Wuyang City, Lin Zhongyun had already had people repair the river embankment on the other side.
As long as the river water passes, the dam will definitely burst at Anli City! !
So now all he has to do is defend Mingshan!!
"Defend Mingshan till death!!!"
"Defend Mingshan till death!!!"
"."
Shouts suddenly rang out at the river bank. Due to the heavy rain, Lin Zhongyun's voice naturally could not reach everyone's ears, and could only be spread through word of mouth.
Everyone's expression was so determined.
According to Lin Zhongyun's arrangement, they stood on the mountainside and set up formations according to the terrain!
There is no need for scouts to report.
Lin Zhongyun was certain that Shang Chuqing would definitely find Minghe's loophole! !
From the beginning to the end, Lin Zhongyun never underestimated Shang Chuqing's ability. No matter what, Lin Zhongyun had to be careful.
Time passes slowly.
Because of heavy rain for several consecutive days, the whole mountain was covered with mud.
Rumble!
There was a loud thunder and a howling wind.
Lin Zhongyun led his men to stand on a high place, closely watching the river water that was about to burst its banks below! ! !
But at this moment.
Suddenly, Lin Zhongyun saw a group of people appearing in the distance, heading straight for Mingshan!
With the help of the five senses of the advanced detection technique, Lin Zhongyun could see very clearly!
Almost instantly, I saw Shang Chuqing, who was leading the group!!!
"Did you really notice something?"
Without any hesitation, Lin Zhongyun drew out the Qingyang Sword from his waist and shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy!!!"
Of course he couldn’t just rush over!!!
The rain keeps coming down heavily and the Ming River is in danger of bursting its banks at any time. At this time, taking troops downstream would only mean seeking death!
Lin Zhongyun doesn't need to panic now.
The right time and right place are now on Lin Zhongyun's side, so the one who should be panicking is Shang Chuqing!
As soon as the words fell, roars were heard behind Lin Zhongyun, without any unnecessary nonsense.
At this moment, the rebels immediately took out their bows and arrows from their backs, and put arrows on them, waiting for the officers and soldiers to come forward and then shoot! !
Boom! !
The thunder continued.
As the army got closer and closer to Mingshan, Shang Chuqing finally saw the rebels standing on the high ground and the situation on the river bank!
His expression couldn't help but change at this moment.
Without any hesitation, he immediately raised the long sword at his waist and shouted angrily: "Soldiers, kill!!!"
No strategy is needed.
Now that the situation has come to this, all Shang Chuqing can do is charge!!!
The rebels have completely seized the advantage of terrain!
If it were any other situation, even if Shang Chuqing knew he would be flooded, he would probably withdraw his troops directly!
Because under this circumstance, his hope of regaining Minghe was very low.
But now, he has no way out!
After his condition worsened twice in a row, he also knew that he didn't have much time left.
To die on the battlefield and for his country was one of his ideals in life.
No matter what, Shang Chuqing must give it a try!!!
"kill!!!"
"kill!!!"
"kill!!!"
"."
At this moment, shouts and cries of killing suddenly rang out.
Without any hesitation, when these officers and soldiers saw the situation at the river bank, they already understood the current situation!
They didn't choose to run away.
No, it’s not about running away!
But everyone knows that they have no chance of escape!
No matter how fast they can run, how can they outrun the flood???
In this situation, they only have one choice, which is to seize the river bank and stop the destruction by the rebels!!!
A war broke out between the two sides.
Seeing that the enemy had already rushed to the front, Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate and directly said: "Shoot!!!"
In an instant, arrows as dense as a net fell from the sky!!!
Today's rebels are no longer the refugees who could only fight with kitchen knives and sticks!!!
After continuous sieges and captures of cities and strongholds, the rebel army now has no shortage of equipment such as bows and arrows.
The dense arrows fell like raindrops in an instant!
The sky was already very dark, and visibility was poor, not to mention that the rebels were now standing on a high ground, and they had a natural advantage from being high above!
Almost immediately, nearly a hundred officers and soldiers fell directly under the dense barrage of arrows!
Can!
Even so, the officers and soldiers still showed no sign of retreating!
Even Shang Chuqing is charging forward!
His eyes were filled with determination, and he kept moving towards the river bank like a madman!
But it's too late.
Lin Zhongyun had sent thousands of people to dig up the river bank, not to mention that the water in the Ming River had already shown signs of bursting its banks!!!
Just at this moment.
The surging river water broke through the river bank and spread directly down!!!
The sky and the earth lost their color!!
Shang Chuqing's expression suddenly changed at this moment!
But he still didn't stop!!
Although the river has already breached the riverbank, they still have a glimmer of hope before it breaks through!!!
As long as we can capture Mingshan!
Use all your strength to break the river bank at another place and divert the river water to Anli City, then the situation will change directly! !
This is the only way out for officers and soldiers now!!
"Soldiers!!!"
"If we take over Mingshan, we will have a way to survive!!"
He roared vigorously and rushed forward directly! !
At the same time, the officers and soldiers behind him did not hesitate at all.
Although the scene of the river bursting its banks made them a little confused, for these officers and soldiers, how could they not see the situation clearly at this moment? ?
Ming River is located at the foot of Ming Mountain!!
From such a high position, if the river bursts its banks completely, they will have no chance of survival! !
Now they can only attack Mingshan!!
People can go crazy!
Especially when it comes to this truly desperate situation, no one will give up the only ray of hope!!
In an instant, a look of madness appeared on almost everyone's face!
But how could Lin Zhongyun give them the chance to rush forward?
Nearly 20,000 rebels are lying in ambush on high ground. The officers and soldiers are just sitting ducks for them! !
Whoosh! Whoosh! Search!!
The sound of breaking through the air continued to be heard.
Dense arrows continued to fall along with the raindrops!!!
At the same time, the water flowing out from the river bank was getting bigger and bigger!!!
The situation is getting more tense!!!
But these officers and soldiers still did not retreat!!
There is only one way to retreat, now they can only grab that glimmer of hope!
But as the water flow gets bigger and bigger.
The horses under their crotches were also affected. Not only humans, but all creatures have their own desire to survive! !
They couldn't help but start to flee!!
In a hurry, the soldiers could only dismount their horses and run towards the river bank! !
Use human lives to exchange for the opportunity to block the river bank! ! ! !
But compared to the dense arrows, these officers and soldiers were ultimately a drop in the bucket. Not to mention that they had no chance to fight back at all! !
Even if there were a few lucky people among the hundreds of people who could reach the river bank, it would be completely useless.
They can't stop the river from bursting its banks!
They also couldn't break through the river bank that had been reinforced by the rebels!!!
And the most important thing is that for those who rush up, they will instinctively go to higher places.
The selfishness of human nature is fully reflected at this moment.
Not to mention the ordinary officers and soldiers, even the generals who rushed up would do the same.
As the river water flows out, it becomes larger and larger.
Finally, Shang Chuqing stopped.
Finished!
Everything is over!!!
Looking at the river that was growing bigger and bigger, Shang Chuqing knew clearly that everything was completely over.
And with Shang Chuqing's pause.
The officers and soldiers behind him were also in complete chaos.
The situation has completely changed!!
"Protect Lord Shang!! Protect Lord Shang!!"
"Don't mess around! Don't mess around!!!"
Although there are loyal generals who are still trying to change all this.
But everything is already destined.
The flood has broken the dam, and it's too late for them to run!
But everyone has a desire to survive.
Seeing that Shang Chuqing did not respond, these people yelled a few more times and then turned around and left.
Shang Chuqing ignored them.
Feeling the restlessness of the mount under him, Shang Chuqing suddenly jumped off the warhorse at this moment, staring blankly at the increasingly large flow of water. The light in his eyes completely dissipated at this moment.
He really didn't understand.
Why did this happen!
Why has it been raining so heavily for several days in a row!!!
"Could it be that I was really wrong?"
Shang Chuqing couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky again, and drops of tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes.
He allowed the officers and soldiers behind him to flee without being moved.
It has ended.
They no longer have any way to survive.
Unless, like the rebel army, they can occupy the high ground, or cross Mingshan Mountain and rush to Anli City.
But, in this situation, how could the rebels let them rush over? ?
The outcome is already determined!
It is completely meaningless to run or not.
Shang Chuqing naturally understood this.
Now he didn't think about the issue of life and death at all. It was his luck to die on the battlefield.
That's the only question he's thinking about now!
Could it be that I really did something wrong?
It seemed that he was really in a desperate situation. At this moment, the wailing sounds suddenly appeared in his ears again.
What follows are scenes from his experiences from childhood to adulthood.
His father was a military advisor who died at the hands of the northern barbarians. His widowed mother raised him alone until she passed away when he was ten years old. In the end, he relied on eating at other people's homes to exchange his studies for an official career.
It is precisely because of this that Shang Chuqing has an absolute hatred for the Northern Barbarians, and is also unwilling to be in the same boat with the world and covet the money of the people.
His vision gradually blurred.
In a trance, a picture seemed to appear before his eyes.
I remembered that when he first entered the officialdom, although he was only a county magistrate, he managed the entire county in an orderly manner, and the people praised him and were reluctant to see him go!
Recalling the scene when the country was in crisis, he volunteered to be the commander-in-chief despite the danger and guaranteed his life, which finally earned him the opportunity to go to the battlefield and defeat the Northern Barbarians!
I remembered his willingness to die because he was dissatisfied with the court's repeated recalls and criticized Emperor Yuanqing for being devoted to Taoism and ignoring the world!
Everything in the past suddenly became clearer at this moment.
This time, Shang Chuqing did not shout as usual, but the whole person seemed to really realize something at this moment.
He was indeed wrong!!!
If he had not surrendered at the beginning, he would not have abandoned the people.
Having served as an official for many years, he thought he was incorruptible and different from others, but in fact he had also developed the bad habit of caring only about winning or losing and had forgotten his original intention.
Faintly, he seemed to see again the high-spirited young man who was determined to help the people and support Daqian.
It’s a pity that the dragon slayer finally became a dragon.
He was definitely wrong!!!
“Today I know who I am!!!”
His vision was completely blurred and tears kept falling. Shang Chuqing suddenly murmured softly, and his emotions became calmer at this moment.
He seemed to have made a decision.
The next moment, just when Shang Chuqing was about to make a move, a loud roar suddenly rang out.
"Shang Chuqing, do you know your mistake???"
Shang Chuqing looked over almost instantly.
This was the voice of the messenger beside Lin Zhongyun.
With the help of his five senses using advanced detection techniques, he could clearly see Shang Chuqing's every move.
The moment he saw Shang Chuqing stop, Lin Zhongyun knew that everything was over!!!
What he has to do now is to finish the show!
Since he was the one who invited the wrath of God, he must be the one to put an end to it!!!
Shang Chuqing stared at the mountain closely. Under the influence of the rain, he couldn't see where Lin Zhongyun was at all. He could only vaguely see the densely packed figures.
This time, he did not shout as usual.
He just stared at the mountain, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Lin Zhongyun!!!"
"The country is about to perish, and no one can save it!!!"
"But since you are here to save the common people, you must remember to avenge the people of the world and destroy the Northern Barbarians!!!"
As he spoke, veins popped up on Shang Chuqing's face, as if these few words had exhausted all his strength.
Although compared to the noisy sound of rain, it was difficult for people on the mountain to hear what he said.
But Lin Zhongyun could hear it clearly!
Hearing this, Lin Zhongyun's eyes couldn't help but slightly condense, and he was about to speak.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly shook.
The moment Shang Chuqing finished saying these words, he immediately drew out the long sword from his waist and placed it around his neck.
Without any hesitation, he paddled straight down!
Blood immediately flowed from his neck.
The weapon in his hand fell directly to the ground at this moment.
He did not die immediately, but raised his head again and knelt directly in the direction of Lin Zhongyun.
He shouted with all his strength:
"Old man! Please!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body fell down at this moment.
This all happened so fast.
Even Lin Zhongyun had never expected it.
And in the next moment, the river embankment, which had long been unable to withstand the pressure, finally collapsed completely, and the river water poured down along the terrain!
Almost instantly, Shang Chuqing's body was completely submerged, and the fleeing officers and soldiers were caught up.
Immediately afterwards, screams rang out.
Standing there, Lin Zhongyun stared at the scene in front of him, unable to hide his shock. Thinking about what Shang Chuqing had just said, he couldn't help but mutter:
"Northern barbarians?"
Ps: I'm begging for a monthly ticket!! I'm begging my brothers to help me out!!!
