After Xiao Wen finished dealing with this enemy, he took a step back and walked to a safe distance. He glanced at Bi Cheng, who was standing beside him with a confused and confused look on his face. He heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that he was not injured at all other than being frightened. Immediately after, he shouted, "Little Yu, Anthony, capture them! "I want a living one.

Hearing this, the group of hoodlums was stunned for a moment before reacting. It was obvious that Xiao Wen wanted to stop the slaughter. However, before they could rejoice for too long, Guan Yu and Anthony had already rushed over. Using almost the same method, they landed a kick on their legs, causing them to become weak from the pain, falling straight to the ground.

The two Rangers fell to the ground. Due to the fact that the ground was covered with the blood of many Rangers, there was only a "pa da" sound as their faces were covered with blood. They looked extremely miserable. When had these Rangers ever seen such a huge scene? Smelling the bloody smell that entered their noses, their minds were in a mess. They could only allow Guan Yu and Anthony to subdue them.

Just then, Bi Cheng could not help but ask: "Senior Brother, what are you doing? Those people were obviously the students of the Songyang Academy. As the holy land of the Confucians, Songyang Academy will not let the matter of you killing their disciples go today. If you do this, won't you push us to the brink of war? "

What a joke. There were only a few kittens and puppies left. Even though there were nearly a thousand people in the lobby. However, out of every hundred people in the Great Tang Dynasty, one was a Confucian Scholar. As for the tens of millions of people in Great Tang Dynasty, naturally, there were hundreds of thousands of Confucian Scholars.

Just the ratio of people to hundreds of people made them feel fear. Not to mention that some of these Confucian Scholars had already taken part in the Imperial Examinations and obtained a place in it. Compared to them, any random person in the wild had no advantage in terms of numbers or quality. Once the war began, some of the weaker students would betray the sect and turn to Confucianism.

After all, not everyone had the mindset that they could just die. Asking them to stop thinking about fame and fortune and to think about academic truths in a world of indifference was not a problem at all for those students whose families were all doing business. However, these people usually had the idea of making money with a kind heart, so it was impossible for them to sacrifice their lives for the ideals of the common people.

Looking at the corpses of the "Songyang Academy Scholar" in front of him, Bi Cheng couldn't help but to be worried for his future. However, Xiao Wen did not mind. He picked up a sword from the ground and gave it to Bi Cheng, then said: "Junior Brother, look at this sword. This sword had been sharpened. Do you know what they want to do with their swords? They want to kill people! "

Hearing this, Bi Cheng's face immediately turned pale white. He was still in disbelief, so he took the sword from Xiao Wen. He was not a fool who did not know what the sabre and sword were trying to do. In fact, his sword techniques were not bad. If he had had a sword just now, he could have defeated any ranger in a one-on-one fight.

Thus, when he took the edge of the sword and looked at the sharp edge, he immediately understood the purpose of this group of Confucian Scholars' visit. But his face was even more bloodless. He asked Xiao Wen: "Senior Brother, did they come to find us trash with Blades, and want to start a war with us? So what are we going to do? We can't beat them! "

After all, the Great Tang Dynasty only had around a thousand odd people, while the Confucius family only had a few hundred thousand. With this ratio in numbers, even if all the scholars were a hundred men, it would still be impossible for them to win against the scholars from the Confucian School!

Furthermore, the majority of the Confucian Scholars were studying amongst the aristocratic families, and before they started their studies, they were honest landlords. They were good sons, and in the eyes of the big sized man and the ruler of Great Tang Dynasty, they were the best soldiers. On the other hand, these students were just a bunch of businessmen. Merchant... Just look at the island nation's 4th Regiment during the invasion of China.

The Fourth Regiment of the Island States was also known as the Osaka Regiment, the "Traders Regiment". The reason for that was because the division was organized in a bustling city with business on the island — Osaka.

Osaka's Fourth Regiment was founded in 1888. The soldiers were mainly composed of the merchants of Osaka. They were one of the most senior Regiments among the devils. This troop was under the command of four allied companies and was equipped with first-rate weapons and equipment. They could be called the "elites" of the devil. However, not long after it was established, the reputation of being a "good-for-nothing" spread throughout the world. In particular, the core unit of the Fourth Regiment, the Eighth Regiment, had received the nickname "The Eighth Regiment Unafraid of Defeat" because of its repeated defeats during the Russo-Japanese War.

Until the start of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Fourth Regiment had never been to the front line. However, this does not mean that it does not have the opportunity to show "bravery". In 1933, when the Second Regiment of the Fourth Division was running a red light in the center of Osaka, they clashed with the police. In order to "preserve the dignity of the Imperial Army of the Great Island," they resolutely led their troops to smash the police station, which was known as the "Go-Stop Incident in Osaka".

In 1937, because of the tight numbers of the devils stationed in China, the base camp assigned the Fourth Division to the northeast of China, and assigned it to the Dongfang Army. How could this army be made to fight? After much thought, he came to the conclusion that the commander was the decisive factor in the fighting strength of a single unit. As a result, a few notable generals were sent to the base to retrain the division, and for example, the "Tiger of Malay" Mountain Fenwen had once been a Regiment Commander, but he could not do anything about the loose Fourth Regiment.

After two years of hard training, the Fourth Regiment finally had a chance to show their faces. In 1939, when war broke out between the Soviets and the island nations in the Normenkan area of the Sino-Mongol border, the Kwantung army ordered the urgent mobilization of the Osaka and Sendai Regiments stationed in the northern part of Manchukuo to reinforce the front lines. After receiving the order, the Sendai Regiment, the Second Division, marched four days from Hailar to Normenkan, where they entered the battle on the very day of their arrival, but were quickly beaten down by the Russians.

On the contrary, although the order for the Fourth Regiment had been given, it did not move. The reason for that was because after the order to move was given, the number of sick soldiers in the Regiment increased rapidly. Looking around, the entire battalion was made up of officers and soldiers who had been requested to stay behind for a variety of reasons. Under the rage and agitation of the joint captain, he personally took charge of the infirmary to participate in the diagnosis. Only then did he barely manage to organize his troops and set off for the front lines. The joke of "the joint captain changing his profession to a doctor" was spread among the demons.

However, things were not over yet. The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment once again put up a new trick – they would stay idle. It took four days for the Second Division to travel from Hailar to Normenkan, eight days for the Fourth Division, and a large number of stragglers. Coincidentally, on the same day that the vanguard of the Fourth Division arrived at the front line, Suzi declared a truce.

As the news spread, the stragglers of the Fourth Division quickly followed, as if they had just eaten a powerful pill. Many of the officers and soldiers who had been left behind also rushed to the front lines, while grumbling about how they had not had the chance to fight.

Ironically, on the way back, the full and vigorous Fourth Regiment became the mightiest of all the devils, while the Second Regiment, who had been the first to arrive on the battlefield, had lost their weapons and was now filled with wounded soldiers.

Guan Dong Jun's officer in charge of public information could not stand this, so he used a pen to change the headline of the "The return of the Fourth Regiment of the Invincible Royal Army" to "The return of the Fourth Regiment of the Unwounded Royal Army", and taunted this' weakling 'troop in a roundabout way.

The Chinese army had long since heard of the reputation of the Fourth Regiment. During the battle of the Xu Province, the Chinese army had even encountered a "strange devil". At that time, facing the evil spirit's encirclement, Li Zongren commanded the army of four hundred thousand to jump out of the evil spirit's encirclement. However, after the Chinese army broke through the encirclement, they were already exhausted. They had also lost a lot of heavy equipment and their fighting strength had plummeted. After passing a road at the border of the Rusu and Anhui provinces, the tired Chinese army suddenly discovered that there was a well-equipped and well-equipped Japanese army on the road.

Because the troops were exhausted, the Chinese army panicked when they saw the enemy and left the road in a state of disorder to retreat to the nearby mountains. Strangely, after a long time, there were no evil spirits chasing after them. The commander of the Chinese army sent out some scouts to investigate, but he saw that the evil spirits had no intention of chasing them. On the contrary, the evil spirits were openly burning food on both sides of the road. This strange group of devils was the southern unit of the Fourth Regiment.

Because they had just jumped out of the devils' encirclement, the situation was still very dangerous. The Chinese army had no choice but to harden their hearts and force their way across the road. The result was a safe journey. After the incident, the leader of the southern forward squadron used the excuse of "strict compliance with combat discipline" to explain to his superiors: "I didn't get the order to intercept the Chinese army."

It could be said that sending merchants to the battlefield was not something that could be relied on. Although merchants had the nature to take risks, they also liked to take opportunistic measures. It's fine to let them take occasional risks and gamble in business, but to let them sacrifice their lives for their ideals... Sacrifice was something that was impossible. It was something that would be impossible to sacrifice for the rest of one's life.

Bi Cheng was very clear on the nature of the people in his own guild. He even knew that he himself had that nature, hence he was extremely worried.
