Chapter 1344: Rebellion
His thinking was as fast as light and lightning at this moment, almost instinctively, and he judged the landing point of the shell, the time of explosion and the scope of impact, as well as his own escape route.
Indeed, luck cannot interfere with the material world, but it can affect the spirit, and then through the spirit, indirectly affect the body to achieve super-level performance.
This potential burst is certainly not long-lasting, but many times, at a critical moment, a difference in ideas and a little difference in physical fitness are enough to determine a life or death.
Qiao Jiang is in this situation at the moment.
Zhao Cheng now has a great supernatural power and is hostile to him. Mentally, he is naturally suppressed and his willpower will be reduced. Therefore, Qiao Jiang even had the will to die at that moment.
But under the influence of luck, this suppression was broken. Not only that, in order to get out of the predicament, Qiao Jiang's mental state rebounded directly from the bottom, just like a spring, the harder it is pressed, the higher it bounces.
Of course, this is also because Qiao Jiang is very lucky. According to the original historical trajectory, Qiao Jiang later surrendered to Cao Zheng and surpassed the top-notch generals. He can be said to be half a god general, with great military exploits throughout his life and loyal.
However, even with such a great fortune, after meeting Zhao Cheng, he had to consume two-thirds of it directly before he could temporarily escape from the cage. It can be seen how terrifying Zhao Cheng's current skills are.
In a flash, Qiao Jiang jumped down from the tower without hesitation, and his body fell straight down rapidly.
Then, the tower above his head exploded, and the explosion sounded, mixed with the smell of smoke, blood, and flames. The fire and shock waves, with shrapnel and stone fragments, spread in all directions.
But because of the city wall, some of the shrapnel and stone fragments were blocked by the tower itself.
He fell down at this moment, but he just escaped a disaster.
And this was the only way out he could think of at that moment.
At the same time as the explosion, Qiao Jiang also took out the short sword he carried with him, and with a reaction force far beyond that of ordinary people, he accurately embedded it into the gap on the city wall.
When the city wall of Tianjue Pass was first built, there were naturally no gaps, but now after a long time, even if it has been repaired every year, it is impossible to be seamless after a long time.
After a short slide, Qiao Jiang finally stopped, but even though his strength was amazing, he still felt that his arm had lost consciousness.
At the same time, he was also breathing heavily.
He survived after all.
It's not that he was afraid of death, but that there was no point in not wanting to die.
His value is definitely not to charge into battle and die on the battlefield.
He is familiar with the entire recruitment and training process of the new army. If he dies, it will not be easy for Liu Guangzheng to find someone to replace him.
And the most important thing in the current battle situation is time.
As long as he is alive, he can save Liu Guangzheng a lot of time and energy by training soldiers for him in the future.
To repay the emperor's grace, he cannot die yet!
As for the shame of jumping off the city today, there will be a time to deal with it in the future.
Qiao Jiang thought bitterly in his heart.
The world is not short of people. Now the court has money. If it is given time, millions of troops can be trained.
At that time, it will be directly surrounded and killed by the army. What does it matter if the Zhao thieves are brave? !
It is said that there is great terror between life and death, but after the great terror, he is completely transparent and understands where the road is.
But just as he was daydreaming, a lead bullet flew straight towards him and directly penetrated the back of his head. Immediately, Qiao Jiang froze, and then fell straight down.
There is a moat under the tower, but falling directly from this high height is no different from falling on flat ground.
In just a few seconds, Qiao Jiang was shattered to pieces.
At this time, Zhao Cheng had successfully climbed up the tower.
As for Qiao Jiang's death, it was just Zhao Cheng's casual wave of his hand.
If luck is useful, what is the use of strength? !
Whether it is individual force or the power of the crowd, strength is always greater than luck.
Otherwise, Wu Yuan would not have died in the Lianshan.
At the moment when Zhao Cheng climbed up the tower, the soldiers around him no longer dared to shoot, and their bodies became extremely stiff.
"I know that you are all forced conscripts in the city."
"I am the general of Yingtian, obeying the will of heaven, so heaven is helping me to climb the tower city."
"This general promises that if you turn against us and help our Yingtian army now, not only will the past be forgiven, but there will be rewards in the future!"
"Da Cang is unjust, what are you still hesitating about?!"
"Turn the gun around."
"Kill!"
Zhao Cheng's voice was clear and powerful. Although the city was noisy, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone within a radius of more than 100 meters.
Among the forced conscripts, there were several spies of the Yingtian army. After a brief silence, they shouted without hesitation: "Da Cang is unjust, and let us die. What are you waiting for?!"
"Kill!"
"Destroy the unjust, punish the violent Cang!"
"Kill!"
While shouting, they fired into the sky.
The civilians who were forcibly conscripted were already extremely tense on the battlefield at this moment, and they had no self-judgment. Zhao Cheng's magic power was so great that it was impossible for him to directly control the minds of so many people at the same time. However, in this extreme situation, he only needed a little guidance to magnify some things many times. In addition, among the civilians, there were people from his Yingtian Army.
Once it was launched at this moment, it directly broke the fragile balance in the hearts of the civilians.
At this moment, the muzzle of the gun turned directly and pointed at the military supervisor behind.
Most people are bullies and fears the strong. These military supervisors usually treat these strong men rudely and arrogantly, but at this moment, facing the turned muzzle of the gun, they softened and immediately shouted: "I..."
But before these people could finish their words, someone had already opened fire. As someone opened fire, the rest of the people also pulled the trigger subconsciously.
And this was just the beginning. As the first batch of people defected, under the instigation of the Yingtian Army who were mixed in with the people, someone immediately shouted: "The Yingtian Army is here, the Yingtian General is here, the general is here to rescue us innocent people!"
"Da Cang is unjust and cruel to the people. The old thief Sun Yuantai has lost all conscience. We might as well kill the old thief Sun's running dogs and gain freedom!"
Some people also shouted: "The general said that as long as you are willing to kill the enemy, no matter what your identity is, the past will not be blamed, and you can be rewarded according to your merits!"
"Today is the day to make achievements, kill!"
