Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

Chapter 127 A man’s responsibility

Li Shimin looked at the crowded people under the city wall and said: "The distance is too far, I'm afraid we can't jump over!"

Pei Xingjian said: "We can step on the shoulders of the people!"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, the group of people were like masters of light Kung Fu in the world of martial arts. After jumping up, they tapped the shoulder of a commoner with one foot and jumped again using the force.

Whoosh whoosh! !

Under the shocked gaze of the people, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others were like immortals, jumping lightly above the heads of the crowd.

Then, the people in the city gradually quieted down.

After Li Shimin arrived at the city wall, he turned around and looked at the people below.

Next to him was an interpreter from the 88th Division, who was picked up by him and jumped onto the city wall together.

I'm still feeling scared and my heart is beating fast.

Li Shimin and Li Jing stood at the foot of the city wall, looking at the spectacular scene of crowded people inside and outside the city wall.

Li Jing was somewhat disappointed: "It's out of control. We underestimated the people's desire to survive. After all, only a few young and strong people are willing to go to the front line. Most people still choose to escape."

Li Shimin also sighed: "Run away if you want, it's human nature, but those soldiers mixed in the crowd..."

Pei Xingjian searched around for something, and finally, he found what he wanted to see.

"Hello~~~"

He shouted towards a direction in the city, where there was a group of female students, but they could not hear him at all in the crowded crowd.

It's too noisy around here...

But Di Renjie, who was following the female student, heard it. He looked up and happened to meet Pei Xingjian's eyes on the city wall.

Di Renjie pointed to a place under the city wall and said, "Teacher, over there..."

Pei Xingjian looked in the direction Di Renjie pointed, and there were actually two cannons left there! !

"Your Majesty, there are cannons there. We can blow up the city wall and expand the exit!"

On the other side, Li Chengqian and his men had already entered the island.

The Japanese sailors on the warships were not equipped with many weapons, at most some officers were equipped with pistols.

In front of Li Chengqian and his men, the power of the pistol was just a tickle and was quickly put to use.

But Li Chengqian left a few helmsmen and ordered them to drive the boat to the south bank.

Leaving two guards behind as controllers, he opened the portal again and returned to shore! !

The people saw the heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly coming to them through a portal.

Looking at the horrific wounds on Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji, one could even see the bones.

Only then did they realize that these divine generals were also mortal beings who could be injured or even die.

But they were fighting with the Japs for their own sake, risking their lives!

But when facing the fear of death, most people don't think about these things, but rather think about how they can survive.

"Save us!"

"God bless you, God bless you!!"

"Please use your magic again to teleport us to the other side. Afterwards, we will definitely build a temple and erect a monument for you gods, and we will burn incense every day!"

"God, help me..."

Li Chengqian looked at the ignorant people and knew that no matter how he explained, it would be of no use.

It's best to keep things simple at this time and stabilize the order of the crowd first.

He took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me first."

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the quiet atmosphere quickly spread to the crowd in the distance.

"Men, please leave your life to women and children first. In this emergency, I hope you can take responsibility."

"The devils have already entered the city. If you want to prevent your wives and children from being abused by them, you need to step forward. I would like to thank you in advance."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian bowed ninety degrees.

Are Li Chengqian’s words useful?

Faced with the hope of life, would anyone choose to give up?

The men hesitated.

Everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to face the Japanese.

But they really need to stand up at this time.

"I'll stay, and let the children and the woman go first."

"Yes, I'll stay too!"

"For the sake of our wives and children, we must fight our way back to the city. Please ask the gods to lead us back!"

"Kill them back, kill them back!!"

The crowd was gradually mobilized, but only a few responded.

Li Chengqian didn't mind, at least things were starting to get better.

"The soldiers of the 88th Division and the Nationalist Army were still fighting bravely in the city. We followed their blood and fought our way back into the city."

"New hardships and new victories are calling ahead. Failure and retreat do not belong to us. We fight for our families and for our country!!"

"History will remember you. It will remember the city of Nanjing and your heroic fighting."

"Your family members will miss you too, because it is your dedication that makes it possible for them to survive."

"In the future, your descendants will be able to proudly say that my brother, my father, and my grandfather died in the battle to defend the motherland and the capital. I am proud and honored by this."

"This is you, the glory you leave for future generations!"

"Now, this honor requires you to exchange your blood and lives for it. Fight for the chance for your wife and children to survive."

"Would you like that?"

The crowd was silent for a moment, then burst into a roar.

"Yes, yes, yes!!"

Amid the roar, the city wall behind them shook violently under the two artillery fires! !

Li Chengqian looked towards the city wall, and saw Pei Xingjian waving at him and pointing in the direction where the wall was shaking.

"Don't be nervous, it's our own people blowing up the city wall."

"Now, the man who is willing to go back to the city with me to kill the devils, please stand up."

Countless men stood up. They stood in front of Li Chengqian and looked at the person they followed with admiration.

At this time, disputes arose among the crowd.

"No, I won't let you go. Our baby isn't even born yet. If you go now, how will I and the baby in my belly survive?"

"Dad, please don't leave. I'm scared to be alone..."

"Son, you are the only boy in the family. If you die like this, how can I explain to your father when I get to the underworld?"

A wife cannot bear to leave her husband, a child cannot bear to leave his father, and an old mother cannot bear to leave her own children.

People are selfish, and it is precisely because of human selfishness that these heroes who sacrifice themselves for justice appear as dazzling as gold.

The husband kissed his wife's forehead and whispered his final goodbye in her ear. Finally, he resolutely broke free from his wife's hand and turned away.

The father picked up his child, kissed him again and again, and finally turned and left despite the child's crying.

The son knelt down to bid farewell to his mother. He could not be both loyal and filial. When the country was in crisis, they could only choose to protect the country and abandon their small family.

Their families cried and called out to them, but their backs were so determined.

Boom boom!

Two more shots were fired.

The sound of cannons and the shaking ground seemed to be bidding farewell to these warriors!!

Cheng Yaojin wiped away his tears, his lips trembled slightly, and there was a breath stuck in his throat that he could hardly swallow.

Hou Junji looked up at the sky and thought: a real man sheds blood, not tears!

Yuchi Gong squatted down and burst into tears.
