...

November 29th, early morning, Xuanwu Pass...

"General Zhang, wake up quickly, wake up..."

Zhang Dingbian, who was leaning against the wall, was sleeping with a blanket wrapped around the leather wall, woke up slowly as the fierce shaking and shouting of a defender soldier.

"What's the matter? The Monroe attacked the city again?"

Zhang Dingbian rubbed the blood-stained eyes of cloth and asked in confusion to the young soldier who had caught his eyes.

Hearing this, the soldier said to Zhang Dingbian anxiously: "General Zhang, you should go to the city wall to see..."

"Um?"

Seeing the soldier's face nervous, Zhang Dingbian suddenly felt something was wrong, so he immediately lifted the blanket on his body and ran to the stairs blocking the wall.

As soon as he arrived on the wall, Zhang Dingbian saw the soldiers lying in front of the trunk and staring outside Xuanwu Pass with a panic on his face. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they all seemed to see something amazing.

“Get out of here…”

Without having time to think about anything, Zhang Ding looked out the guard soldiers who opened a cliff.

Unexpectedly, his expression froze instantly under this look...

In the direction of the embroidered red flag, a group of dense figures moved closer, accompanied by sharp whip whips and faint crying sounds.

That was when the Monroe began to drive the people of the Central Plains to demolish the fortifications in front of the walls...

These people were thin and haggard in their faces, and were trembling in the cold wind. The short and strong men behind them were still waving their horse whips to drive them, and approaching Xuanwu Pass timidly.

"What should I do, General Zhang?" The personal soldiers pointed at the people approaching and asked Zhang Dingbian with a confused look on their faces, "They are all unarmed people..."

Zhang Dingbian gritted his teeth when he heard this, his fists were tightly pinched. After a long time, he punched hard on the hard wall and asked the personal soldier: "Where is the military governor? Where has he been?"

The personal soldier said: "The military governor will go to inspect the defense lines of other sections of the city before dawn. I guess it will take a while before I can come back..."

Zhang Dingbian was silent. He really didn't know what to do with such a thing. Looking at the thousands of people slowly approaching outside the pass, the expression on his face became even more serious.

"Stop, listen to my orders~"

Bihansi was extremely arrogant and drove thousands of people to the entrance of the first wire mesh, and immediately raised his whip to start commanding.

He pointed at several wire mesh in front of Xuanwu Pass and said loudly: "Your task is very simple. Just open these three wire mesh. I don't care what you do. In short, before noon, I don't want to see those disgusting wires still standing before this pass. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Bihansi ignored the expressions on the faces of the Central Plains slaves and threw a handful of iron ellips and rusty axes in front of these Central Plains slaves, and then asked his slave army to loudly drive them away and start demolishing the fortifications.

After the baptism of blood and cold wind, the ground had already become extremely dry and hard. In addition, these slaves were already weak, so it was not easy to chisel them open.

"This group of god-killers doesn't treat us as human beings..."

A servant with frostbite hands swung his blunt axe hard and slashed on the wooden stake wrapped in barbed wire. He muttered himself while the person was unprepared, his face full of unwillingness.

The people around him were young and strong, as well as women and children. At this moment, they were all numbly fucking the instructions given by foreigners in the cold weather.

"Warrior..." a slave came to Bihansi timidly and said timidly, "We are here to remove wooden stakes. What if... the soldiers on the block attack us?"

When Bihansi heard this, he looked up at the skinny slave, snorted coldly and said to him: "What should I do? It's easy to do! Aren't you all the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The sheep in the city should take care of your lives, right?

Maybe you will come out of seclusion to save you, so won’t you have to suffer this sin? Of course, if you don’t come to save you, you can give up. This means that the sheep in Zhou Kingdom do not care about your life or death. Do you think so?"

When the slave heard this, he immediately shrank his head, avoiding Bihansi's horrifying look, and then continued to remove the wire from the wooden stake without saying a word.

"Tsk, it's worthy of being a sheep, not at all blood..." Bihansi looked at the slave who was speaking with contempt, his face full of disdain.

This is the status of the Central Plains people under the rule of Monroe. They are as gentle as sheep at any time and can be controlled by others. There is no need to worry that they will resist.

The demolition of fortifications was very slow, but due to the large number of people, with the hard work of the slaves, the first line of defense gradually showed signs of slackness and collapse.

However, Xuanwu Pass still did not move any way...

"General Zhang, think of a solution. Did you see them breaking down the lines of defense that they had finally laid out?"

Seeing that the first barbed wire fortification was about to be demolished, the personal soldiers said anxiously to Zhang Dingbian, who was standing in front of the mercedes.

However, Zhang Dingbian still said nothing and just watched the first barbed wire defense line slowly being destroyed.

"General Zhang, you are talking, hurry up!" the personal soldiers urged again, "Once the three wire defense lines collapse, the consequences will be unimaginable. Let the catapult hit him for a round and kill them..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Dingbian roared, stopped the words of his personal soldiers, and said loudly, "Those people outside are my Great Zhou people. As soldiers, we have the responsibility to protect them. How can you let me hurt these Great Zhou people who have suffered a lot of hardships!"

"What should I do now!" The personal soldiers were not willing to be outdone. "If you don't stop them, would you watch them remove all the wire mesh so that the Monroe people can enter the door without any obstacles?"

"I said, shut up!" Zhang Dingbian roared again, his eyes widened, "Let me think about it carefully, and I must not hurt those people, they are all innocent..."

The personal soldiers suddenly grabbed Zhang Dingbian and said, "General Zhang, now the innocent people you say are accomplices of the tiger and helping the evil, be more aware!"

Zhang Dingbian was stunned again when he heard this, stared at the situation outside the pass for a while, and then murmured: "There will be a solution. Let me think about it carefully, think about it carefully..."

"well……"

The personal soldiers sighed heavily, feeling extremely helpless at the woman's kindness that Zhang Dingbian showed at the critical moment.

Regarding charge, Zhang Dingbian was the best in Xuanwu Pass, but he lost the calmness and judgment that a general should have in these civil matters, and instead became a mother-in-law and mother, extremely anxious.

Of course, Zhang Dingbian cannot be blamed for this. He does have the responsibility of guarding the ordinary people in the Central Plains, because he has been an orphan since childhood and was supported by the people in the town.

On the day he joined the army, Zhang Dingbian secretly vowed to protect the people of the Central Plains at all costs to repay their nurturing grace. It has not changed for decades, so in the face of such a situation, Zhang Dingbian was naturally in a dilemma.

"Come!" Suddenly, Zhang Dingbian made up his mind and roared, "Does there any desperate patriot who are willing to follow the general out of seclusion and rescue those people together?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire pass was silent. The soldiers around the defenders looked at him with disbelief. Many people even suspected that they had heard the wrong ears?

"Is there anyone?" Zhang Dingbian roared again, "If you are a man, you will fight out with me and save all the people. At that time, those who follow me to save will be doubled for each rescue. Are there anyone who is willing to go together?"

There was still a silence around him, and no one responded to Zhang Dingbian's words, but the saying "all rewards will be doubled" made many people feel excited...

"No? I, Xuanwuguan, don't even have a man!" Zhang Dingbian pointed at the guards around and shouted loudly, "Are you willing to watch the people outside the pass be enslaved and driven by the Monroe people and slowly dismantle the defense lines we arranged?"

The personal soldiers next to him couldn't bear to listen, so they immediately advised: "General Zhang, calm down. Now our people will fight head-on with the Monroe people when they rush out. We are no match for them! How should the military governor explain to him when he asks for guilt?"

"The Monroe is human, aren't it me, the soldiers of the Great Zhou?" Zhang Dingbian said angrily, "If even the people can't save us, then what is the purpose of wearing this armor!"

After saying that, Zhang Dingbian waved his hand and stopped his personal soldiers and continued to speak. Then he shouted at the soldiers around him: "If you don't go, then stay here and watch. I, Zhang Dingbian, cannot ignore the people!"

Leave a word, Zhang Dingbian turned around and walked towards the stairs of the city wall.

Looking at Zhang Dingbian's departure back, dozens of soldiers gritted their teeth and followed him closely.

"Stop it all for this military governor!"

At this moment, Liu Ce's voice appeared above the pass, and everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound.

However, Liu Ce, under Jiao Luo's protection, appeared at the stairs with a serious look on his face and blocked Zhang Dingbian's way.

"Mr. Military Supervisor, I..." Zhang Dingbian didn't know how to face Liu Ce for a moment, so he could only bow and say, "Please ask General General Cheng Quanmo to lead his troops out of the pass to kill the enemy and save the people who were driven by the Monroe people..."

When Liu Ce heard this, he glared at Zhang Dingbian, went straight to the mercedes, took out the spectator and looked out.

After a long time, Liu Ce put down his glass and asked Zhang Dingbian: "Deputy General Zhang, why don't he fight back with a catapult? Do you have to be willing to see that all three wire defense lines were removed by the Monroe people?"

Zhang Dingbian hurriedly explained: "Mr. Military Governor, the thousands of people outside are all people of my Great Zhou. How can the last general ignore their life and death..."

Unexpectedly, when he finished speaking, Liu Ce suddenly shouted at him: "Behind you are also the people of the Great Zhou, billions of people of the Great Zhou! Have you considered their life and death? The Xuanwu Pass is gone, and all the people of the Great Zhou you want to protect will become slaves to aliens! Have you ever thought about this question? Answer me!"
