Chapter 258: Burning
The whole village was shrouded in a thick fog. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the case of not knowing the enemy or the enemy, as a commander, it is impossible to rashly lead the troops to attack the enemy. So the officers shouted orders one after another, and the soldiers sat down cross-legged to rest until the fog completely dissipated.
"Mr. Jia......" Mu De whispered to Jia Huan, "Those scarecrows and firewood stacks we arranged will not be discovered by them, right?" If they find something suspicious, will they stop moving forward and not enter the ambush we have set up? He thought about it a lot, because he didn't have the preparation to do it, and he was a little worried.
"Don't worry, no problem!" Through Emilia's translation, Jia Huan said to Mude, "Let them start preparing." ”
It's getting late. The fog is slowly dissipating. It's just that after the weapon dissipated, it was dark again, and visibility was very low. An officer quietly came over and said to General Hall, "Could this be the will of heaven that we should not start this battle?" ”
"Heavens? Who else can represent Heaven other than Warner across the rainbow bridge from us? General Hall sneered, "But in this world, God exists, but in this world, Warner God is biased towards us." Let's start, let's attack as soon as possible, send signals, attack on three sides at the same time! ”
The officer received the order, and suddenly a white fireball rushed into the sky, illuminating the sky slightly, and then in the other two directions, there were also fireballs rising into the air. Immediately afterwards, a dense network of torches lit up on the ground, and the earth suddenly trembled, as if thousands of horses were galloping.
The first to rush out were the cavalry, who mainly played the role of dividing and encircling, and quickly surrounded the village on three sides. Then the infantry rushed in, and everything went well, not even the slightest resistance. There was a sound of shouting and killing, and suddenly after rushing into the village, the noise did not last long before it stopped.
All the soldiers looked at each other, even General Hall, who came in on horseback at last, frowned, and then looked around with the torches raised, and suddenly his face changed, and immediately ordered the officers: "Go around at once and see if there are any such things piled up in the village." ”
After a while, I heard the officers gather from all over and report: "General, it's all straw piles and timber!" ”
"Withdraw—" General Hall gave the order very decisively.
"Withdraw - lift your ass off the ground!" The officers began to shout, and they also realized that something bad could happen, so many flammable materials were piled up in the village, and if someone set a fire, they would be trapped in the fire. Come to think of it, it's a very scary scene.
Even if you whip them with a whip or kick them with your feet, you have to drive these soldiers out. Just as they were shouting and scolding, they suddenly saw a point of light coming from the distant hillside, and as the point of light got closer and closer, it suddenly fell to the ground, and then countless points of light suddenly shot from the hillside.
"Someone has fired an arrow," shouted a soldier, and suddenly a rocket landed at his feet, and immediately there was a "zi-" sound, and the flames moved so fast that it seemed to have been ignited by some flammable material. Then the flames burst into the sky, and the man did not even have time to lift his feet before he was surrounded by flames.
"Help me—" The soldier held out his hand to a nearby officer, let out a terrible scream, and staggered towards the officer covered in fire. The officer was frightened, and without saying a word, he raised his knife, and with a single stab, it stabbed into the soldier's body, and immediately the whole person twisted a few times, and since it did not move.
Now it seems to be too late to retreat. From time to time, the rockets had sent out louder sparks, encircling the people who had rushed into the village. Just imagine, 5,000 people and horses are enclosed in a small space, surrounded by fire on all sides, it is even more difficult to rush out, some people try to rush out, but as soon as they rush to the edge, they are forced back by the fierce fire.
"This fire is too big, there's something weird in it!" An officer said to General Hall, who was on horseback, "There seems to be some flammable substance around here that is more likely to burst, and the fire is fierce." What are we going to do? ”
"No matter how fierce we are, we have to rush out, or we will all burn here!" General Hall yelled loudly, "Drive the soldiers, rush in one direction, and if you can, rush out as much as you can." ”
Before the words fell, a very dull voice was suddenly heard. With a "poof", Hall felt a little pain in his chest, and his whole body was also impacted, and the impact almost carried him off the horse. It can be seen that the strength of this archery shooter is too great beyond ordinary people.
"General—" The officer was frightened and cried out in fear, "General, you've been shot—"
"Shut up—" General Hall rebuked the officer loudly, he must not make a loud noise about what he had been shot in, this is definitely a way to shake the morale of the army and kill himself. It's just that while he was scolding, he couldn't help but feel sweet in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person staggered and fell off the horse.
"The general is wounded-" The officer didn't know what to do with it, but shouted desperately, "Someone, the general is injured, come quickly-" He shouted hoarsely, causing the whole team to be confused even more. And at this time, another burst of sharp arrows came over.
This time there were no rockets, but this sharp arrow became a talisman. One after another, the soldiers fell. Screaming, moaning, howling in despair.
"I'm going to kill you!" One soldier crouched in the corner, where there was no fire, and another soldier was also crouching, just not following the officer's command, rushing forward. At this moment, an officer rushed towards them with a sword in his hand, shouting, "Damn fools, if you don't go, I'll kill you!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, for one of the soldiers suddenly jumped to his feet, picked up the sword in his hand, and stabbed it into the gap between his armor. The cold blade of the sword pierced into his body, and the officer writhed a little, the wound as if it had been burned, and he stared at the soldier with wide eyes.
"What do you see? You idiot, I wanted to kill you a long time ago! The soldier spat in his face, drew his sword, and slashed at the officer's head, and a human head rolled to the ground, and the headless body fell with a "poof" like a stump.
"Matthias, you killed your officer—" Suddenly, a soldier next to him said to the soldier, "Hide and don't let them find out, damn it, ...... here" It was his friend Eddie who was talking to this man. The two of them stooped toward the wall.
The raging fire turned red almost every day. The great firepower of the power bureau is related to the gunpowder in the weapons that Jia Huan brought out by the three mercenaries of Galil. It was the primer, igniting the more explosive combustibles. So this fire burned all the 5,000 men and horses into it.
"Oh my God—" Mu De looked at the fire in front of him in amazement, and also looked at the soldiers who were rushing in the fire, faintly listening to their screams and shouts, and the smell of burnt meat after being burned, and many people vomited on the spot.
"Keep in formation, keep in formation!" Ram, who was also the commander now, shouted loudly, "Keep shooting, keep the intensity - shoot those bitches-" As he continued to shout, the rain of arrows continued to fly towards the village. With the help of the wind, another group of people's lives were harvested.
"May God forgive us!" Mud whispered with his chest folded.
"What kind of gods do you believe in?" This action fell in Jia Huan's eyes, and he looked up at Mu De and said, "Do you also believe in Fengshen?" He also wanted to know this, after all, there was a kingdom of gods just across the rainbow bridge in the Giant Country, and that was the Warner Protoss.
"Yes, we believe in the Warner God." Mu De leaned down and said to Jia Huan, "Every time, when the Rainbow Bridge opens, a god will come out at a certain time. Then this God will do something about our kingdom so that we can have a good harvest every year! ”
"But...... You are still poor! Jia Huan knew the actual situation in that village, and the villagers were not well fed and clothed, and they were very poor, "So...... They don't care how much you get after the harvest! Isn't it? Do you still believe in such gods? ”
"Yes, we do!" Mu De still said very firmly, but he looked at Jia Huan again, sighed and said, "Actually...... I prefer gods like you. As he spoke, he bowed very respectfully to Jia Huan.
The gods of Warner brought them good weather, and these workers could not enjoy it, because no amount of fruit would be expropriated by the nobles and kings. On the contrary, they felt that a god like Jia Huan brought them far more than the Warner God brought to them, so even though Mu De said it firmly, his heart had already shaken slightly.
The fire burned all night, and by the time the fire was about to be extinguished, dawn had arrived. The sky was faintly bright, and at this time, Mu De suddenly drew his sword, raised it, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, now is our time, rush forward, we will win-"
Even if there are only 800 people, they can erupt into a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound. When these 800 people rushed into the village, which had been burned all night, their original rainbow momentum suddenly slowed down. In the end, they had to slow down, and they had to cover their noses with their shirts or hold their faces.
It's hell on earth. Everywhere there were charred corpses of people and corpses lying on their backs with arrows stuck in their hands. The only ones who remained were dying on the ground, or leaning against the wall, dying. No one who was able to stand came. It was only in a well that a dozen or so people were found hiding inside.
Two of them led the way and walked up to Mud, who they could recognize as the leader. He knelt on the ground and said, "You are the general?" We want to take refuge in you! My name is Matthias, he is my companion Eddie, and everyone behind me wants to join you, and together we will defeat the king! They don't treat the soldiers as human beings! ”
Instead of immediately agreeing, Mud ordered the soldiers to take them away. I continued to clean up the battlefield with people. It's all so shocking that it feels like a dream. These people who rushed over couldn't believe it as much as Mude, and they won like this, and they won so completely.
According to statistics, more than 2,000 of the 5,000 soldiers were burned to death, and more than 1,000 were seriously burned, and it is estimated that they will not live long. About 1,000 people were slightly injured, and more than 400 people were not injured, but they had no fighting spirit. The minor injuries and the uninjured were taken into custody.
"What do we do now?" Mud had a headache in the face of such a large number of captives, and there were not many people in their team. Now the number of prisoners is more than their soldiers, which makes him feel a little headache, after all, they don't have any experience now, they just want to listen to Jia Huan's opinion.
"Kill them all!" Ram, who was on the side, spat the ground, and said loudly, his voice was like thunder, which made Emilia frown with a headache.
"Shut up and listen to sir!" Mud glared at Ram. Ram immediately shut his mouth, and now the majesty of Mud grew stronger by the day. Even Ram didn't dare to disobey him at will.
"Let them go!" Jia Huan waved his hand, "Those who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are unwilling will let them go." Even if they go back, it won't have any effect on us, but on the king's side, it won't be necessarily, they will preach our strength, and the fighting spirit they have lost will affect the rest of the king's army, and bring fear to them, and when they encounter us in the future, they won't have any fighting spirit. ”
Mu De nodded thoughtfully, Jia Huan was right, he had a more difficult to let go of Jia Huan's respect. He even had a thought, why should we believe in Warner's God? Now there is such a god-like man who can change the fate of their long-standing oppression, why not him?
The thought startled him, but it seemed like a natural thing. Because Jia Huan's influence on them is far more rapid and direct than Warner's God, and the benefits brought to them are much greater, which is absolutely predictable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists.
