Chapter 60: A Painful Loss
In this way, it is more cost-effective for these people to raise such a group of people, but this practice is too cruel for any officer to dare to do so. But the current situation is different, for the heads here, in fact, they are all rebelling, if they fail, it is the crime of rebellion, and they will definitely be beheaded.
As the saying goes, friends of the dead don't die in the poor way, no matter how cruel the method is, as long as it can succeed, it is a good way for them. From the day they began to rebel, they were already doomed, there was no turning back, and if they succeeded, the prince and the prince would have a kind of Xiangning.
failed, maybe because the family has a big way back, and can pick up a life, but the good life will definitely no longer exist. Maybe in the future, he will run away and live like a mouse without seeing the light of day.
No matter what Li Xie thinks, and no matter how unbearable Li Xie is, those guys in the camp won't listen to him. I saw that these generals, all the people who had received weapons, rushed to the front line. The people of the inner camp were behind the palace, and the way for the people of the outer camp to retreat was completely blocked. A few of the stronger men stood in the first row, each holding a ladder in their hands.
Then the trumpet blew, and a man who seemed to be the leader of the team shouted:
"The first person to go up to the city wall will receive a hundred taels of silver, and he who does not move forward, and those who retreat will be killed. Rush! "One hundred taels of silver! A three-in, three-out courtyard in Luotianfu is only two hundred yuan, and it is only two taels of silver if it is exchanged at the same price, and this is only theoretical.
In fact, due to the small size of silver and easy to carry, three hundred yuan may not be exchanged for two taels of silver, which means that if you can get this hundred taels of silver, many people can live a life without worrying about eating and drinking.
As soon as Li Xie heard this, his scalp tingled, no one in such a team could resist such a temptation, and in this group of teams, such a crowded team without any training, let alone attacking the city wall, I am afraid it will be difficult to even get close.
Sure enough, a large group of untrained people, crowded almost together, launched a charge under the effect of the horn of the charge and the heavy bounty. But because there is no professional training, the young and strong will definitely run faster, and the thin or physical strength will definitely run slower.
And in the case of this crowding, the road that was not easy to walk in the first place, and then squeezed each other like this, there are not a few people who fall. What can these people do if they fall? Get up?
Don't think too much about it, in such a large team, when everyone is tempted by the pie drawn by that person, no one cares what is under their feet, which means that once you fall, the fate that awaits you is to be trampled into meat by your teammates.
And correspondingly, when one person falls, it is equivalent to a stick on the ground, causing more people to fall. So the team lost a few hundred men almost just a few breaths of the charge. In such a short period of time, those who ran fast only ran a few tens of meters.
When the distance between the fast runner and the slow runner is widened, the number of people who fall is relatively reduced, and the loss of the team also begins to decrease relatively. But this does not mean that this group of people will be able to successfully climb the tower.
Not to mention how difficult it is to climb the walls of a few meters high, but the people standing on the towers of the city can watch them approach. Of course, it was impossible, and when the distance from the city wall was less than fifty paces, the first heavy rain of arrows came to you.
At this time, many people are still just rushing forward, and they don't even raise the shield in their hands, which is more symbolic than practical. So obviously, the lethality of this round of arrow rain became extremely powerful, and everyone who entered that range fell like wheat harvesting.
There is no way for the person who rushes to the front, to be shot in the chest by an arrow and to die, and to be shot in the head. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid these fatal places, you will be shot in the foot, and unfortunately you will fall to the ground, and you will be trampled to death by the people who come from behind.
Therefore, after this round of arrow rain, no one who set foot in the range of arrows could stand alive. The impact of such a scene on Li Xie is too great.
One person fell to the ground and died, ten people fell to the ground and died, and these hundreds of people fell to the ground and died together, that concept is completely different. Only when you see such a scene will you truly understand how fragile human life is.
In the time of a round of arrow rain, in less than a second, hundreds of people fell to the ground in an instant. Hey, within the coverage of that rain of arrows, blood was all over the ground in an instant. Ordinary people who have not been trained are not bloody, and they were carried away by the huge benefits at first, but after seeing this scene, they stopped one after another.
But something even more terrible happened, and the people in front saw that this purpose was terrible and stopped. But the people behind were blocked by the crowd, and those who couldn't see this scene still rushed forward. In an instant, a large crowd of people huddled together, and the stampede happened again, and this time the casualties were even greater.
Almost all those who rushed in front and stopped were spared, and they were all trampled under their feet. But the Overseers did not care about any of this, and drove them behind with long knives and whips:
"Rush me, whoever stops will die for me."
Helpless, everyone could only raise their feet again and rush forward, but this time the reunion speed was significantly slower. It was impossible for the people on the city walls to watch them move forward, and there was no doubt that the second and third rounds of arrows rained one after another.
Li Xie had no choice but to follow the footsteps of everyone into the coverage of the arrow rain, Li Xie lowered his head and raised the shield forty-five degrees, step by step, step by step, but definitely not slow.
The first arrow came and got stuck in the bamboo, and then the second, the third, and the fourth rushed almost instantly. At last, the thin shield made of bamboo, unable to block one of the arrows, shot straight at his face.
Li Xie's spirit was extremely nervous, and almost at the moment when the arrow passed through the shield, Li Xie's hand reflexively grabbed it, and grabbed the arrow when the tip of the arrow was close to the door of his head.
After a round of arrows, Li Xie had a moment of respite, and at this time he realized that except for him behind and in front of him, there was no one standing on the left and right. When Li Xie was sighing that the old brother in front of him was in good life, the standing figure slowly fell forward, and slowly turned around while pouring, Li Xie only found out at this time that the buddy in front of him was not fate, but his own fate.
In just a rain of arrows, the old man in front of him has been shot into a hedgehog: three arrows are inserted in his body, and two are inserted in his shield. A large part of the reason why Li Xie can live is because this brother in front of him blocked the arrow.
