Chapter 3257 What is it
Chapter 3256 What is it
The sound of arrows breaking through the air contains the intention of tearing everything apart and penetrating all thoughts, and then pierced on the bricks and stones, splashing out sparks and falling down.
As the last arrow fell ineffectively, the raid on Anyi was declared failure.
Some things cannot be solved by having ideas, ideas, and subjective initiative.
Human willpower can often create miracles, but the problem is that a person's willpower is insignificant. Only by winning over the majority and focusing most people's thoughts together can the miracle become a reality.
Outside Anyi, what Pei Jun expected was naturally the successful attack.
But he didn't consider that he was not the only smart person in the world.
The sky gradually dimmed, and only the burned wreckage under the city of Anyi was still releasing the last light.
At the city gate, the corpses on the ground were all over the place, most of them were from Pei Jun's men, and there were also some ordinary Cao army soldiers. No one could have thought that even if Cao army soldiers joined Pei Jun's ranks, they still failed to successfully break through the Anyi city gate...
A thief, as long as he succeeds once, he wants to be a second and third time.
The same is true for Pei Jun.
He had speculated once before, which brought him huge benefits. He did not think it was because the wind was in place, but because he could fly. As a result, he fell down under the city of Anyi and broke into blood.
But the problem is that Pei Jun still doesn't think it's his fault, or he knows it in his heart, but he dare not admit it.
If he admits it, wouldn’t it prove that he can’t fly at all?
So once he can't fly, what's the difference between him and an ordinary pig dog?
Cao Hong also frowned slightly. Although what he had expected was that Pei Jun would probably not have taken Anyi so easily, he did not expect that Anyi's resistance would be so tenacious. At the beginning, Cao Jun joked that Pei Jun's subordinates were soft-legged shrimps and their combat power was low. However, after they rushed up, they added equipment such as rushing ladders, but they still failed to capture it, and they were burned to rushing car and other siege equipment such as rushing car and siege.
The flash of fire was like a silent ridicule.
"Can you know who is guarding the city?" Cao Hong asked the guards beside him.
The guard rushed to inquire about the military academy on the front line, and after a moment he replied: "It is said that he saw Pei Ziji in command..."
『Pei Ji…』 Cao Hong frowned, 『I haven’t heard of it…』
Cao Hong nodded, shook his head again, as if he had written this name in his heart, and he also felt that he was sighing that they were all Pei, why is the gap so big?
Everything went smoothly at first, and it was indeed the case.
At first, Cao Hong saw the chaos on the city from afar, and thought that Pei Jun's plan worked. However, he didn't expect that Pei Jun's people could not rush in under the city for a long time, and then there were signs of calmness on the city. He immediately realized that something was wrong and sent soldiers to support him, but unfortunately he still couldn't attack the city.
"Something went wrong and failed to break the city..." Pei Jun came to Cao Hong near to apologize.
Cao Hong narrowed his eyes and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Pei Jun lowered his head, "A subordinate had obviously assassinated the guard, but he never thought..."
"I never thought about anything?" Cao Hong asked, "Did you never think about the resistance of the defenders in the city, or your subordinates are weak and incompetent, or you never think about the fact that Anyi cannot be captured... Haha, I wonder if Fengxian had thought about it, if he could not conquer Anyi quickly, what else would happen?"
Pei Jun felt a chill on his back.
He secretly escaped from Anyi...
Of course, this "secret" may also be Pei Mao in the city. After all, for Pei, betting on multiple sides is not a bad thing, but the problem is that Pei Jun is not just "betting", he is also preparing to turn around and raise Pei's table!
If the table can really be overturned, then all chess games will be re-turned, and Pei Jun will become the orthodox Pei Mao family, and Pei Mao and his team will come to an end. But Pei Jun overestimated himself and underestimated Pei Mao and Pei Ji and others, and the table could not be overturned!
This time, the problem is huge.
The main thing is Pei Jun’s own problem.
Pei Jun's enmity for Cao Cao was tolerated. After all, there was still a "people have their own ambitions" to cover up and explain. But now he was assassinating the defender and raiding Anyi, so the fate of Pei Jun's relatives in the city would probably be bad...
Of course, Pei Jun could also say "what does a real man have to worry about?" or "dividing a cup of meat soup". But in fact, the gangster leader Liu Shizi said that he had divided meat soup, which was "sacrificing" his relatives and choosing his subordinates for greater interests, so Liu Bang's subordinates would be grateful to Liu Bang and become closer to Liu Bang.
But what can Pei Jun have?
He sacrificed his family in the city. Can Cao's army benefit?
Sacrifice is originally a pure-color animal used for sacrifice. That is, cattle, sheep, and pigs. The order cannot be changed at will. What level corresponds to what kind of "sacrifice" should not be ambiguous.
Even the livestock that want to go to the guillotine have class aberration differences, let alone among the current Cao army?
Although Cao Hong said "Fengxian" at once, he seemed to scream very kindly, but in fact, looking at Pei Jun's gaze was like looking at cows, sheep and pigs!
Cao Hong's face wrinkled, and he looked like he was smiling but not smiling. "Fengxian...but there is a good idea? If there is no other way, you might as well go and find the Prime Minister to report it!"
Pei Jun shivered, "I, ah... I'm down, I'm down, I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm down and I'm
Cao Hong's face shook again, "So how long does it take to consider Fengxian?"
"Three, no, two, no," the sweat beads on Pei Jun's face rolled down, "Tomorrow, tomorrow morning!"
Cao Hong slapped his face, "Good! Don't say that you didn't give Fengxian the chance! Come on! Let's send Fengxian and have a good rest!"
The guards responded, and Pei Jun staggered back.
...
...
The city of Anyi.
Pei Ji leaned exhausted on the wooden pillars of the city gate tower, looking at the fires of the Cao Jun camp in the mountains and fields outside the city. In a trance, these Cao Jun camp fires were like a boundless big net, and he was a bird caught by the big net, struggling, unwilling to face death, but he could not see the hope of breaking free.
Although defending the city has a certain advantage, it does not mean that casualties can be exempted.
Especially when Pei Jun launched a sneak attack at the beginning, the casualties accounted for almost half of the entire battle!
『I reminded you...』 Pei Ji said slowly, 『Why are you still so careless...』
Pei Hui did not answer and lowered his head.
"You should have guarded this battle..." Pei Ji pulled a piece of rags on his robe that was about to fall off. I don't know if it was scratched by a weapon or where he was running. Fortunately, he was not injured, but his robe was torn to pieces and swayed in the wind, which was very intrusive.
Pei Hui was still lying motionless.
"Ah..." Pei Ji sighed.
He originally thought that he had prepared for war and had also made psychological construction of death and injury, but when he faced all this, he still felt fear surged from his heart.
Instinctive fear of facing death.
During the battle, Pei Ji didn't think so much, but almost instinctively commanded the soldiers to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps, fill in previous loopholes, counterattacked Cao's attack, and strangled Pei Jun's rebels. However, after the battle, Pei Ji found that his hands were trembling all the time, and even had to cover up by tearing his clothes.
Why are you afraid of death?
Pei Ji asked himself.
Haven't you already prepared for it?
Pei Ji did not realize that most of the time, the anxiety about death actually lurked in the unconscious. Only when some events occur and reminded himself that those anxiety will break through the taboos of thought and linger in people's minds, bringing lingering fear.
Pei Ji suddenly realized that if he died, he would have nothing.
No breathing, no temperature, no everything.
What remains are decay and annihilation.
Pei Ji felt that he was pinching his heart and blocking his trachea, forcing him to sit down and sit next to Pei Hui.
The cold iron armor on Pei Hun made Pei Ji slightly calmer.
After all, being able to feel the cold proves that you are not dead yet.
Under the illumination of torches, the soldiers guarding the city of Anyi dragged the casualties and injuries on the top of the city to the city.
The dead people were like a pile of rotten meat, rubbing against the bricks, stones and gravel on the ground, making a sound of brushing and pulling, and were occasionally dull and bumped into the stones and wood.
And the injured were moaning and screaming, endlessly...
This is the first day.
Some soldiers guarding the city who were not injured during the battle were in a daze, either sitting or spreading in the corner of the city, as if they were lonely ghosts, without any vitality.
Several Pei soldiers walked up to Pei Ji, "Ji Shaolang... This... let's carry Hun Langjun down..."
『Oh…』 Pei Ji nodded, stood up, and moved away from his position, 『Uh, wait…』
Pei Ji pointed to Pei Hui's armor and said, "Take off the armor and I'll wear it."
"Ji Shao Langjun, this...the armor is covered with blood..." The personal soldiers were stunned for a moment, "Why don't you get new ones for the husband?"
Pei Ji is not without his own armor, but at this moment, he felt that only by wearing Pei Hui's armor might be more meaningful.
"It's okay, you're not afraid of death, are you still afraid of this blood?" Pei Ji smiled, "What's more, this is my brother's blood... Come on, help me put it on!"
Several soldiers stepped forward and took off the armor from Pei Hun's body. They wiped it for a while and put it on for Pei Ji.
The strong smell of blood was lingering, which was a bit pungent, but Pei Ji didn't feel disgusted. He reached out and touched the gap on the back of the armor. The blood that had not completely dried up was stained with his hands, as if he still had a trace of his remnant soul...
Pei Ji stood on the steps of the city gate tower, and the body of his cousin was lying beside him.
He raised his hand, with Pei Hun's blood on his hand.
『What is this?!" Pei Ji shook his hand, 『This is blood! My brother's blood!』
"My cousin is dead!" Pei Ji shouted, "I'm still alive!"
The remaining defenders on the city were gathered on Pei Ji.
"I'm wearing my brother's armor! This is his blood!" Pei Ji looked around and saw his confused, scared, panicked, and helpless eyes, as if he saw the weak self in his heart.
『This is our home!』 Pei Ji shouted, 『Behind him are our relatives, our brothers and sisters, and our fellow villagers! My brother died, but I said, he is still alive! Because his blood is still on me! His spirit is still by my side! I still remember everything from my brother, from childhood to adulthood!』
"He doesn't like reading, he likes to play guns and sticks. He likes to eat meat, drink, and he likes to lie under the osmanthus tree in my house and snore and sleep when he gets drunk!" Pei Ji shouted, "He is dead! But I will not forget him! Pei will not forget him! Pei will not forget all the warriors who died bravely for our home and for us to survive!"
"What are you?" Pei Ji looked around the soldiers, "You are soldiers! You are warriors! You are warriors who protect all our beautiful things from being plundered, destroyed and destroyed by Cao's army!"
Pei Ji opened his hand and said, "Look at it all! This is our city! Our home! This is where our Pei family grows up! This is where we guard together!"
"Hold your weapons tightly! Put on your armor!"
"Bring the blood of the dead warriors! Accompany their unyielding spirit!"
『Protect our own home!』
The defenders on the citytop paused for a moment, then looked at each other, and some light and fire began to burn in their eyes.
"Protect your own home!"
『Oh oh oh oh oh…』
...
...
"Not good!" At dawn the next day, before Pei Jun came up with any "trick tricks", he heard his servant shouting outside the tent, "Not good! On the top of the city, on the top of the city... Langjun... Langjun...
The servant was so anxious that he couldn't even speak smoothly. Pei Jun was still confused at first, but he soon understood and his face turned pale after a flash.
Pei Jun ran out of the tent quickly, but didn't know what he had stepped on. He fell to the ground with a sniff. Before he could stand firm, he got weak again and hit the wooden stake at the door of the tent. He immediately had a bruised and swollen face and blood flowed through his nose.
Pei Jun covered his nose with one hand and staggered. He arrived in front of the Anyi Formation, looked up and saw the heads of several people pushing out from the city...
When he looked closely, Pei Jun's head buzzed and he was stunned!
『No! No no no no!』
Pei Jun remembered that he had already sent his mother out of Anyi, but for some reason, he saw his mother's gray hair on the top of the city, and saw that his mother was still in the city of Anyi!
『This is impossible! Impossible!』
Pei Jun shouted, shouted, widening his eyes. Then he saw the figure of the old housekeeper who had been following Pei Mao, and immediately understood. He collapsed on the ground, kowtowed heavily, tears and nose blood flowed out, "Mother..."
Pei Jun's mother neither shouted nor insulted, but looked at Pei Jun with an indescribable expression. Perhaps with some regrets, perhaps with some reluctance, or some complaints, but his mother didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.
This is her cub...
Pei Ji stood on the top of the city, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Those who rebel against the clan and turn against the clan and pursue profit and forget righteousness are extremely evil!"
"Now there is this thief who has left the clan. He should have read poetry and books clearly and understand the principles. However, his ambitions are despicable and greedy, and he even betrays the legacy of his ancestors, despise the rules of his family, and for his own selfish desires, and harm the same clan and the same clan. This is really a shame for the family!"
"He takes profit first, regardless of the feelings of flesh and blood, does not care about the meaning of his compatriots, and walks alone, and is arrogant! Little do he know that the benefits are nothing but clouds, smoke, like dew, lightning, mirrors, water and moon! Only then can the family's grace and bloodline be extended for a long time and follow each other forever!"
"It is important to know that heaven and earth have righteousness, and articles are full of integrity! People's hearts have a fixed mind, and they can act with sincerity!"
"Now this thief is unfaithful and unrighteous, and his gold and jade are beyond the form, and his destruction will become a stigma for all ages!"
"Alas, right and wrong are all related to one thought!"
Pei Ji looked at Pei Jun who was kneeling down from the city and bowing to the ground, and his eyes gradually became cold.
If he remembered correctly, Pei Jun lost his father in the early years. It was his mother who worked diligently to raise him and was kind to Pei Jun. If there was something good, Pei Jun would eat first. His mother's daily food and clothing cost was very simple, and she tried her best to meet Pei Jun's study needs. All the money was spent on Pei Jun, and now...
But I have developed such a thing?
Pei Jun just knelt down at the city and howled without raising his head.
Pei Ji exhaled a long breath and whispered to Pei Jun's mother: "Old lady, you are well-raised!"
Pei Ji tied Pei Jun's mother out again, and then shouted those scolding words after seeing Pei Jun. Although it was unpleasant, it was like giving Pei Jun a chance after all.
A chance to commit suicide.
If Pei Jun can apologize for committing suicide, then the death penalty will be eliminated. Although Pei Jun's mother will be sad and may not be able to live well, at least she can survive, which is also a glimmer of hope that Pei Jun will win for his mother.
However, it is obvious that Pei Ji has been shouting for so long, and Pei Jun is still just kneeling down and just howling under the city.
Not even a little fight.
Pei Jun's mother heard Pei Ji's words and did not refute, but still said nothing. She just sighed in a low voice, her eyes still on Pei Jun who was under the city...
"Such people who are unfaithful and unrighteous, unkind and unfilial!"
Pei Ji shouted, "I harmed the same clan and implicated the family! In the past, my flesh and blood were together, but now I became enemies! Who is he? He is a person who forgets his roots! He used to be the same clan and his ancestors, and his bloodlines were connected, but now he goes against the will of his own, and he is cut off from the genealogy. Therefore, he is ordered by the head of the family and expels this thief from the clan today! Eliminate the clan and becomes strangers from now on!"
"Since you are a stranger, you will harm the people of my clan and you will pay for your blood debts!"
『Come!』
"Behead the thief and commit suicide to sacrifice to my battle flag with his flesh and blood! I lay my soul!"
Under Pei Ji's order, someone immediately stepped forward to hold Pei Jun's mother and other people related to Pei Jun.
The cold light flashed and blood flew.
Pei Jun shouted and fainted and fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
