Chapter 1728 Leave no one behind

It's not that Zhao Chen is cold-blooded and likes to kill people.

In fact, I gave these people opportunities, but they didn't cherish them.

Although he said that he was not a heinous person, he was not willing to be beaten or scolded. If they didn't cherish the chance of survival, they couldn't blame themselves.

The guards waited at the entrance of the secret passage for a long time, but did not see the captain and others returning.

I immediately understood that something must have happened to the captain and the others.

It's just that he has no idea where this secret passage ultimately leads. Now he has two choices.

The first is to send people to continue to drill through the secret passage, but doing so will obviously send one person away.

As long as the other side is blocked at the entrance of the secret passage, my own people will have no way to resist.

The second is to search around the city for the exit of the secret passage.

But even though Crane City is small, they can't search everything in one night.

In other words, both of their choices now actually make no sense.

But if they fail to complete the task assigned by Helan Chushi, once Zhao Chen escapes from here, what awaits them will definitely be the annihilation of the Tang army.

Now these officers and men of the Cangzhou Army thought they were coming to annihilate the bandits' stronghold in the city outside the city.

But if once they learn that the one they have been attacking is actually the King of Han, these people will definitely be shattered in an instant.

They would even help the King of Han deal with them.

By then, these Cangzhou Army soldiers could bury them alive without Zhao Chen taking action.

The current situation left the guards at a loss as to what to do.

Today is their best chance. Once tomorrow morning comes, they are afraid they will turn around and flee.

"What do we do now?"

"General Helan's order is for us to catch those bandits. Now the captain and the people he brought have not come back until now. I'm afraid it's not

…”

Some Cangzhou Army soldiers began to worry.

"Why are you panicking? Keep coming and follow me. Everyone must speed up now and get to the exit before the air inside is exhausted."

"Light a torch if you are less than 20 meters away, and other people are not allowed to use torches."

"Follow me to the secret passage." The bodyguard was ready to risk his life now.

He knew that if he didn't catch Zhao Chen today, he wouldn't have any chance at dawn tomorrow.

At that time, both he and Helan Chushi will have no choice but to die.

Now he can only treat the Cangzhou troops around him as scapegoats and let everyone who doesn't know the truth rush into the secret passage with him.

With the personal guards taking the lead, the rest of the Cangzhou Army, although somewhat reluctant, still chose to obey the order.

The personal guard led the way, holding a torch in his hand and a weapon in his right hand, and quickly descended to the secret passage.

The rest of the people followed behind the guards and walked quickly towards the secret passage.

The secret passage is very dark and the air is stagnant. The more people there are, the more difficult it is for everyone to breathe.

The personal guard knew that it was dangerous for so many people to go down the secret passage, but he walked at the front, so at least he wouldn't feel too uncomfortable when breathing.

There were constant screams and calls for help from behind.

But none of the guards chose to stop.

If he stops here, his life can stay here.

Finally, after walking for who knows how long, the guard finally saw a bright light in front of him.

That was a torch, which should have been planted here by the previous captain.

The guard was excited: "We'll be at the exit soon, everyone, hold on."

When the others heard that they were about to reach the exit, they began to get excited. Their feet, which had been difficult to move, now became stronger.

Not long after, they finally saw the secret passage going up. The guards could not hide their excitement, and at the same time they clenched the weapons in their hands.

He was also worried that Zhao Chen's people would be waiting for them at the exit of the secret passage.

"The exit is ahead, please be careful." The guard turned back to look at the people behind him. ??

Everyone tightened their weapons.

The guard cautiously stuck his head out, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell on his face. He looked around and saw no one.

"Come out." The guards climbed out of the secret passage and waved to the Cangzhou Army soldiers behind them.

Cangzhou Army soldiers crawled out of the secret passage one after another.

Soon they gathered in the open space outside the secret passage. Only then did the personal guard realize that there were only about six or seven hundred people following him through the secret passage.

The other four hundred people didn't follow at all.

"Is there anyone else?" The guard was a little annoyed.

After all, someone dared to disobey his orders.

"Many people fainted in the secret passage, and others sent them back the same way." A Cangzhou Army soldier said.

The personal guard frowned. Although there were so many people around him, there was no problem in taking down Zhao Chen's dozens of people.

But he still felt that each of these Cangzhou troops had their own thoughts.

A small secret passage made them afraid to move forward.

Really abominable.

But they can't control that much now. The guards just want to find Zhao Chen quickly and deal with the matter.

After looking around, the guard realized that this was outside Crane City.

In other words, they actually came here directly from the city through the secret passage.

inside.

Who would put so much effort into building such a secret passage?

"Go and look around to see if they have left any traces!" the guard immediately ordered.

Many Cangzhou Army soldiers immediately looked around.

After a while, someone found the captain and others who had been executed before.

The soldiers of the Cangzhou Army looked shocked, unable to believe that their captain had been killed here.

"Have you seen how cruel these bandits are? They killed the captain and others and dumped their bodies here!" Upon seeing this, the guards immediately began to arouse the emotions of the Cangzhou army.

All the Cangzhou Army soldiers had angry expressions on their faces, and many of them had eyes burning with anger.

"These hateful bandits, if I catch them, I will kill them with a knife."

"Yes, these bandits really deserved to die. Letting them die happily is an advantage for them."

"We must catch them and kill them to avenge the captain!"

"Avenge the captain!"

A group of Cangzhou Army soldiers shouted.

The guard was very satisfied. He was afraid that these Cangzhou Army soldiers would become foreign workers, so now he can mobilize their enthusiasm.

"Okay, let's go find those damn bandits together and avenge the captain and the others!" The guards also shouted loudly.

Everyone slowly became quiet, and some soldiers from the Cangzhou Army also discovered traces of someone moving not far away.

"Now we are chasing them along the traces they left, and we will definitely catch them. As long as we catch them, don't hesitate to kill them directly." The guards shouted loudly.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them all!"

"Yes, kill them all!"

"Leave no one behind!"
