Chapter 441 Do you want to die kneeling, or live standing?
Chen Li's words further aroused the dissatisfaction among the bandit leaders.
When they are in the village, although they need to hide here and there like mice, they are free rat kings, and each of them has the power of life and death over everyone in the village.
Even if life is a bit dangerous, most of the danger belongs to the gangsters. The life of these bandit leaders is actually safer and more prosperous than that of the common people.
But when they accepted Zhao'an, everything changed.
They lost almost all their power and had to change from the former big bosses to low-level generals.
They can no longer pass on all dangers to the minions, because they themselves are already cannon fodder for the Chu army!
For ordinary thieves, the changes before and after accepting the imperial edict are not obvious.
As for the bandit leaders, there is a huge gap in their lives before and after they accepted Zhao'an. It would be better not to have Zhao'an!
A ball of anger also rose in Ge Ping's heart, but he tried his best to keep his calm: "Brother Chen, your idea is very dangerous."
"Are we now expecting that it will be easy to survive, the past will be wiped out, and there will be no pressure at all."
"As long as we accept the imperial edict, everything will get better immediately?"
Ge Ping looked at Chen Li: "No way?"
"How could a man who could lead a group of brothers to dominate Penglize for more than ten years have such ridiculous ideas!"
"In Before escaping into the mountains, Brother Chen should have known your nobles’ attitude towards us.”
"Before accepting the imperial edict, Brother Chen should also understand why the noble man ordered an imperial edict for us."
"If we don't pay a huge price and effort, how can the evil deeds we have done in the past be wiped out? How can we let our family members become common people!"
Ge Ping's words were full of rationality.
But it is undoubtedly a luxury to expect most thieves to remain rational.
Chen Li said firmly: "We did evil things because Chu State exploited us."
"Your Majesty ordered us to be safe because the Qin army won consecutive battles and Chu was no longer able to govern us."
"This is a deal, a fair deal. We are not humbler than them!"
“Qin State’s Shangqing Yao Jia was also a thief in Daliang City in the past, but Qin State never let Shangqing Yao Jia be the first to ascend!”
“Then why is it because we have been thieves in Chu? The country is oppressing us like this!"
The thieves who had been calmed down by Ge Ping became angry again when they heard this.
"Not bad! I have done a good job as the leader of the village. I accepted the imperial edict to live a better life, not to die!"
"What kind of kindness does Chu State have to us? Why should we do it?" Is Chu going to die? "
"The worst is to escape into the mountains again, I don't believe that there is no place for me and others in the world!"
The anger becomes louder.
The Chu army patrol, whose heartstrings were already tense, quickly followed the sound.
"What are you arguing about! What are you talking about!" The Chu army commander glared at Chen Li and others: "You want to cause chaos!"
When the scolding started, the bandit leaders immediately shut up and looked at them from the corner of their eyes. The leader of the gang around him.
Although their anger against the Chu army is still boiling in their hearts, they are all 'smart people' and they will not make the first move in such a dangerous time.
Seeing this, the Chu army commander became more and more arrogant: "I am asking a question, how dare you not answer it?!"
"Arrogant!"
"General Guan Er and others are plotting rebellion! Kneel down! Tie them all up!"
Looking at the arrogant face of the Chu army commander and the Chu soldiers walking towards them with ropes, All the bandit leaders had anger in their eyes.
If they were still in the bandit camp, this little corpsman would not even be qualified to see them!
Which of the bandit leaders who can stand beside Chen Li has not killed several corps commanders?
However, today, these little people are arrogantly bossing them around, but they dare not resist!
Why?
Only because they accepted the imperial edict!
In the silence of suppressed anger, Chen Li turned to look at the east wall of Hubei City.
There, a large black flag with no embroidered patterns and a large red flag with no embroidered patterns are fluttering in the wind!
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Li pushed away the Chu army who was approaching him, and glared at the Chu army commander: "Even beggars will not eat the food that comes to them."
"We are all generous and righteous people, how can we be so humiliated!"
The Chu army commander stared angrily: "It's the opposite! It's really the opposite!"
As he spoke, the man hurriedly He took out the copper bell from his waist, rang it hard, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come here! There is someone plotting here..."
Ge Ping hurriedly shouted: "Brother Chen, and..."
Before the Wu Commander finished speaking, and before Ge Ping finished speaking, Chen Li had already cut off the Chu Army Wu Commander’s neck with one sword!
While the blood was gushing out, Chen Li picked up the head of the Chu army commander and turned around to meet the shocked looks of the bandit leaders.
"Brothers." Chen Li said angrily: "Why should we be oppressed by such villains?"
"Just to survive?"
"If you just want to survive, then raise your heads and look at the battlefield!"
"Look at the west!"
"Under the monstrous fire, there were all the corpses of Chu soldiers!"
Chen Li's words diverted the attention of the bandit leaders, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look to the west.
Even the flames lacking combustion aids slowly spread over time, and have completely formed a sea of fire at this moment.
Even across E City, everyone could see the sky red with flames and the billowing black smoke.
Because of the obstruction of Echeng, everyone could not see that both the Qin and Chu armies had completely left Xishan. The fire burned Lonely!
Chen Liba shouted again in a high voice: "Look to the southwest!"
"Qin Chang'an Lord has personally led his troops out of the city and broke into the Shangzhu National Formation!"
The bandit leaders' eyes were deflected again , and saw the middle armies of the Qin and Chu armies fighting in the southwest of E city.
The long distance prevented them from seeing the detailed battle situation. They could only see that the banner belonging to the Qin army was slowly but firmly advancing towards the banner of the Chu army.
But you don’t need to look closely at the bandit leaders on the battlefield to guess that Ying Chengxuan took the initiative to go out of the city to fight because he had found a chance to win!
After all, Ying Chengyu's life was so comfortable. If he hadn't been sure that he could safely defeat the Chu army, how could he have put himself in danger? The large banner that is still moving forward interprets the battlefield situation more vividly!
Chen Li looked around at all the bandit leaders and asked in a deep voice: "Have you never heard of the reincarnation of Lord Qin Chang'an, Zhu Rong?"
"You don't know Lord Qin Chang'an? Bravely conquer the three armies?”
“Listen to the drum! This is the decisive drum for the Qin army!”
"The elite of the Chu army has been caught in the sea of fire, the center of the Chu army is about to be overrun by the Qin army, and Shangzhu will soon be beheaded by Lord Chang'an!"
"We are the only ones who are still being driven away by the Chu army. Attack E City like a child servant!"
The mood of the bandit leaders is very complicated.
After a while, we, a group of people who fished and paddled to fight against the wind, actually became the main offensive force?
That’s outrageous!
The war situation has developed like this, what should we do next?
However, there was no time left for them to think.
The bell that Chen Li rang with connivance had summoned a large number of Chu troops!
"I would like to see who dares to cause trouble!"
"The thieves are shameless and fickle. They will not dare to admit their crimes in the face of us. They will form an array and destroy this place. Completely surrounded, no one can be spared”
"Yes, no one can be spared!"
The faces of the bandit leaders changed, and anger welled up in their eyes when they looked at Chen Li.
"You are the only one who is impulsive, but you make me wait..."
A bandit leader couldn't help but angrily scolded Chen Li, but was completely covered by Chen Li's louder voice: "The war situation has developed At this point, if we really want to survive, we should rebel against Baochu and defect to Lord Chang'an!"
"Jun Chang'an will definitely accept us and give me a way to survive regardless of our past grudges!"< br>
"Am I waiting for more than 200,000 brothers to defeat thousands of Chu troops?"
After saying this, Chen Li stopped agitating, but clenched his spear and shouted: "Will you kneel down?" Those who are dead will stay where they are and let the Chu army punish them. "
" Those who are eager to stand alive will kill the enemy with me! "
The two bandit leaders suddenly turned to look. Echeng.
When they saw the two flags, one black and one red, they looked at Chen Li with more kindness. They also raised their weapons and stood beside Chen Li, shouting loudly:
"The imperial edict of Chu State still cut off my back!"
"Instead of dying on my knees, I just want to stand and live!"
Chen Li took on the most arduous task of taking the lead. .
The two bandits came out one after another, further creating a trend of chaos.
Under the leadership of the three men, more and more bandit leaders rose up with hatred.
"There are only thousands of Chu troops, but a certain Chu army killed more than this on the mountain!"
"My mother, I have never suffered so many grievances in my life, and this revenge must be avenged!" "
"I finally see clearly, there are so many noble people in the world, only Lord Chang'an treats us as human beings, and fighting for Lord Chang'an is a righteous battle!"
Ge Ping sighed in his heart when he saw this, but he also wanted to get up.
However, a hand held Ge Ping.
Ge Ping's eldest son, Ge Ying, whispered solemnly: "Ah, something is wrong!"
"Qin Chang'an is certainly a general of the world, but Chu Shangzhu is not an easy person."
>"There is a huge disparity in strength between the Qin and Chu armies in this battle. How could the Qin army defeat Chu in one day!"
"And Lord Qin Chang'an left the city too eagerly. Even though Lord Qin Chang'an's men were all elite, Chu's superior Zhu Guo’s subordinates are also elite.”
“I think that the current battle situation on the battlefield is just an illusion deliberately created by the Qin army.”
"The purpose is to force us to rebel so that we can be used by the Qin army!"
"As long as we don't rebel against Chu, we will not know whether we will win or lose this battle!"
Listen Ge Ping was slightly startled by Ge Ying's analysis.
It seems to make sense!
Ge Ping couldn't help but look at Ge Ying with a bit of relief and pride.
A thirteen-year-old child saw a problem that no one else could see.
As expected of my son!
Ge Ping patted Ge Ying on the shoulder: "That's very well said!"
"But the victory or defeat of the battle is not only determined on the battlefield, but also in the hearts of the people!"
"Now that the hearts of our troops are in chaos, and the Chu army has drawn its sword against us, it is useless even if Naiweng informs the brothers of these analyses."
"The Qin army has gained momentum, we have no choice!"
"Protect yourself."
After finishing speaking, Ge Ping stood up and roared in the face of Ge Ying's puzzled gaze:< br>
“Brothers, rebel!”
They are one person, but not just one person.
Every bandit leader stood up and shouted, causing hundreds or even thousands of soldiers to respond.
The rise of a famous bandit leader triggered the trait of thieves and bandits to fight against the odds, forming a further chain reaction.
There was a lot of backlash among the Zhao'an army!
