Chapter nine hundred and sixty-three: shed the last drop of blood
When panic spreads, even the most rational person, when they know that all this is futile, they will find that nothing they have done means, and that is the case for the rebels.
Countless people threw away their armor. Although in fact, the casualties were not as great as they imagined, this sense of fear had already spread all over their bodies, and wailed in waves, countless people were like headless flies.
Zhang Chang felt that his heart was cold. He looked at everything in front of him incredible ways. Finally... he thought of the most terrifying possibility.
Zhang Chang was still rational, much calmer than most people. He thought of a terrible consequence in his mind. As a rebel, as the leader of the rebels, his family had dozens of people, and anyone could be pardoned, but he was absolutely unable to pardon. In this defeat, there was nothing and everything was empty.
His shoulders trembled slightly in fear and shivered. Then, he cheered up and gritted his teeth. He looked back and glanced at the generals behind him, and said sternly: "What are you still doing? Are you not afraid of the whole family's death? Chen Kaizhi is cruel and ruthless and will never give you any way to live. Now, if you can win, you will win, and if you cannot win, you must win. Today, if you don't die, you must retreat. We have no way out!"
The governor and commanders were only excited at this time. Only then did they have fear in their hearts, and there were more people who could only regret it.
I thought it was easy, but I thought it could be easily obtained and could be taken from my pocket, but who knew that everything was empty.
You can imagine how desperate you feel in your heart.
But Zhang Chang's words forced them to cheer up. It's good, even if they bit the bullet, they would continue to waste their lives, because there was no other way to go besides.
"Hurry up, gather the troops again. Everyone will lead their own personal soldiers to reorganize the retreating troops. In any case, they must continue to fight. They will not shed the last drop of blood and will never retreat!"
With the order, Zhang Chang took his own guard and personally took his sword and led his horse to stop the defeated soldiers.
For them, they could only run out of their battles. Even if they knew they were defeated, the rebel soldiers must be buried with them, because even if they only won one-tenth of the victory, it was worth it for Zhang Chang.
He rushed into the formation of defeated soldiers with red eyes, behind him were hundreds of personal guards. He held a whip and beat him wildly, shouting: "Where you escape, wherever you escape, there is no way to heaven or go down to earth, where can you escape? Fight to death, you have to fight to death. Now, there is only one who dares to escape, and who dares to escape, and who will kill you without mercy? Think about your parents, wife and children, and think about Chen Kaizhi, will anyone have a good end for those who have ever rebels? If you are afraid of death today, tomorrow, there will be countless swords hanging above the heads of your family, young and old, where do you escape?"
More and more defeated soldiers gathered together by him and escaped from the range of Italian cannons. Although the defeated soldiers were still scared, at least they could barely breathe a sigh of relief, which also gave Zhang Chang and others room to gather the remaining troops.
Zhang Chang's eyes were chilling. He seemed to be making an idea. If the rebels did not launch an attack for the time being, they would first surround these people and wait for an opportunity to act... this... seemed to be his only way.

State Guesthouse.
The news of the rebellion always lags a little later. It was not until the rebels attacked the palace city that the news was confirmed. Although there were all kinds of rumors before, the rebellion in broad daylight was still a bit unbelievable. But now, when the exact news came, the State Guesthouse was already in full swing.
The governors were all mixed with all kinds of feelings. They were very dissatisfied with Your Majesty. Why did they have to cut the vassal state? It was really not easy for everyone to live a life of vassal state. Although the system of reducing the vassal state was to refute their interests, it would not be more or less protected, and they would not have nothing to do. But this is the case, and the benefits they obtained were robbed of by others, and they would inevitably feel unhappy.
Now that they heard the rebellion, they were at a loss. Everyone ran to Liu Aotian's residence. Liu Aotian came out with his chest and was obviously idle in the capital. He drank wine with people all night last night and slept late. When he heard the news, he didn't have time to dress up, so he came out without any image. When he saw everyone coming, someone whispered in a low voice: "The rebels have entered the palace, I'm afraid that His Majesty has died. The garrison of this palace is not strict. As long as the city is broken and tens of thousands of rebels are invading, what else can be spared?"
"What should I do now? Go back to the vassal state immediately? Prepare for war and prepare for unexpected accidents. Who knows, who will decide this Da Chen at that time will be in trouble? For decades, the owner of the palace city has seemed to have changed. Let's stay in the capital, and God knows if there will be any changes."
"Yes, go back to the vassal state immediately and return to the vassal state. Even if it is a big deal, it will be fine. This is a place of right and wrong. Brother Liu, you are the oldest, you have to say something. Let's just part with each other today. See you next time."
Liu Aotian was stunned. He couldn't come back for a long time. He saw many people bowing their heads and wandering, and some people were tempted to retreat. After a long time, he said: "If we are in the vassal states and the capital rebelled, it would be fine. After all,... the far water cannot save the near fire. But now we are waiting in the capital, and the rebels are running under our noses. Everyone, we can run away, but we can run away, and the friendship between the monarch and the royal family has been cut off. Everyone, we are touching our conscience and say, which one has not been given the emperor's kindness for generations and is moving towards ourselves.
For a few lifetimes, which one is not a family that can enjoy endless wealth. When the court has nothing to do, we are delicious and delicious. Oh, now we have something to do, but we retreat in the face of trouble. Just because of our own selfish thoughts, we will see us. In the past, we could even tell our own people that we were governing the country according to the orders and that we were guarding the soldiers and people of the town for Emperor Chen. You have said a lot of these words, but now, what should we say, we say, we are afraid, so we escaped. Emperor? What should the emperor do? Scared, God knows!"
After hearing this, many people showed shame, and some people said among the crowd: "Yes, we can't just go back."
"But Your Majesty wants to reduce the vassal...we...ah..."
