Chapter 445: A Small Big Event
Chapter 445: A Small Big Event
When the news of defeat came, Yi Shu closed his eyes in pain. Losing a thousand soldiers did not make him have such an expression, he was worried about morale, self-defeating had a greater impact on morale, and it turned out that it was not only in strength, but also in terms of strategy, that the enemy was superior to him.
Boosting morale has become an urgent matter for Yi. Yi Wei couldn't sit still, and left the house that night to visit the defenders in Beicheng.
Inside the northern city, under the city walls, the defenders were shrouded in pessimism. They witnessed the departure of the death squads, hundreds of people marched up the city wall, but only a few people returned, one of whom fell into them from the city wall in an unexpected way, and strangely, his head could not be found.
"It's horrible! His neck was torn off. Holding a Mitsubishi bolt, Kuroshi crouched beside a headless corpse and muttered to himself.
In a sense, Blackstone was the beneficiary of the crossbow hunt, and he was promoted to the top of his team of centurions, after two centurions in a row died under the crossbow.
"Brother, do you think this Li Huaitang is a mortal immortal in the world? How did you come up with the idea of making an arrow into such a shape? Kuroishi's younger brother, Kuroki, who was with him, was visibly in awe of Mitsubishi's arrowhead, and his hand reaching for the crossbow hesitated in mid-air and then retracted, as if he was afraid of angering the gods.
Blackstone didn't know how to answer, it was the first time he had encountered a Mitsubishi-shaped arrowhead, and he couldn't even name it, but he could feel its powerful destructive power. My brother's question sounds ridiculous, but it's hard to refute. If it weren't for the help of the gods, how could this Li Huaitang rise from an unknown horse bandit to a hegemon in just three years, during which he repeatedly defeated the powerful Turgish people, and even defeated several strong Hu coalition forces by being outnumbered, and now I heard that Sulu Khan was completely finished, and with this as a reference, Heishi seemed to faintly see the tragedy of Shiguo.
Kuroki continued, "I heard from those merchants that Li Huaitang was the messenger of the God of Light, and those who fought against him would be punished by the gods. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of Khan overheard." Heishi frowned, his brother's remarks were taboo in the army, and in the past few days, this kind of rumor had swept the whole city, and Yi Tutun was furious, and countless people were beheaded by the Great Khan because of it.
Kuroki disagreed, muttering: "What kind of Great Khan, forcing us to follow him against the God of Light is not for his khan, this khanate was originally robbed, and even the heavens can't see it, he is self-defeating." ”
"Brother," Kuroki suddenly looked around vigilantly, making sure that there was no one, and said a bold idea that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Why don't we sneak out of the city and surrender to Li Huaitang?" ”
"You?!" Kuroishi covered his brother's mouth in horror, panicking to see if there was a third party around.
Kuroki struggled to push his brother's hand away, and whispered: "Maybe the rope on the head of the city hasn't been removed yet, and the guard will be changed later, so it's better for us to ......"
"No! The Great Khan will not spare our families. Also, what about my brother? He was stupid and only had brute force. Blackstone rejected his brother's suggestion. Yi Wei ordered that all the families of generals above the centurion level should be "protected" in a centralized manner. Blackstone is the new centurion, Yi Yan's personal soldiers found him for the first time to ask for the address, I am afraid that at this time the family has been transferred, once he has any abnormal movement or ineffective combat, the consequences can be imagined, which is also one of the main reasons why the defenders of the city have not fled so far.
Escape used to be a forbidden area in Blackstone's mind, and once reminded of it, his mind began to move. Kuroki is right, and there is only one way to die if he continues to stay in the city. After thinking about it for a long time, Heishi finally made up his mind and agreed to let his younger brother go out of the city and surrender first, anyway, it was so dark that no one could see it, and no one cared about his brother's life or death, as long as he didn't say it, he might be able to cover up the past.
As the saying goes, there are no impermeable walls. When the two Blackstone brothers whispered, they didn't notice that there was a soldier lying on the ground near them, and the thick night blocked the view, but it did not hinder the transmission of sound......
"The Great Khan has arrived!" The majestic chanting pierced the night sky, and countless torches illuminated the temporary military camp under the city of Beicheng.
Blackstone had an inexplicable irritability, he had just counted the number of people in the team, and found that there was one person missing, and a sense of foreboding jumped into his heart.
Perhaps to confirm his fears, dozens of the Great Khan's own soldiers came towards him with murderous vigour, and among them, Heishi saw the missing soldier impressively.
"That's him!" His former subordinates became witnesses and betrayed him mercilessly.
Both Blackstone and Blackwood were arrested. The futile and desperate protest attracted Yi Wei.
"You're Blackstone?" Yi Wei stared coldly at one of the centurions who was said to be about to betray him, and the murderous aura condensed in his deep gaze.
Without waiting for Heishi to answer, Yi Yan raised his hand and flashed a knife, and the head fell to the ground with a bang, and blood sprayed all over the ground. At this critical juncture, he will not allow any signs of escape, and whether the whistleblower is true or not, he needs a chance to make an example to warn those who are not determined not to have two hearts.
"No!" Kuroki exclaimed, his voice heartbreaking.
Yi blinked his eyelids, looked at Kuroki, and said viciously, "Random horses trampled to death!" ”
Kuroki was wrapped in layers of blankets and then pushed down under the pack horse's hooves, and Iku's guards jumped on the pack horses and trampled them back and forth until the screaming stopped, until Kuroki was pulp.
Yi Wei patted the informant on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Very well, you are a centurion from now on." ”
"Yes, I would like to serve the Great Khan!" The betrayer was flattered and eager to cut out his heart to show his loyalty.
"Those who dare to betray will be the end!" Yi Wei pointed to the bodies of the two Blackstone brothers and warned the soldiers present.
The audience was silent, and the air was occupied by terror, which was almost suffocating.
The battlefield is full of countless unpredictable small events, perhaps accidental or inevitable, no one can say. Sometimes, the trend of the battle situation will be influenced by inconspicuous people, and Black Iron is such a small person. He had just woken up from a daze, and his sleep was thunderous, and his punches were unresponsive. When Yi Wei arrived, his commander and Blackstone did not dare to slack off, and let the two soldiers support him into the queue to continue the dream realm. Blackstone was killed, and the soldiers, fearing that they would get into trouble, automatically spit on Blackiron.
Black Iron was awakened by the short spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear he held upside down poked the tip of his toe. Black Iron was slow to react, and it took him a long time to learn that his two younger brothers had been killed by the Great Khan.
Yi Yan patrolled the procession, Black Iron's angry expression caught his attention, the stout soldier glaring at the two corpses on the ground, anger burning in his eyes.
"Well, yes, this big black guy is doing a good job, and you'll have to gnash your teeth against traitors." Yi Wei patted Black Iron on the shoulder appreciatively.
"Huh?! No! The informant was shocked and wanted to step forward and pull Yi Yan away.
However, it was too late, it was too late. The short spear in the black iron hand pierced Yi Wei's body, and in the roar, the big black man pushed Yi Wei straight forward, Yi Wei's eyes were full of fear, and there were countless questions......
