Chapter 331: Flesh Shield Siege
Chapter 331: Flesh Shield Siege
There were about 30,000 unfortunate ordinary people, driven by Kublai Khan from all directions, and approached the border of Bazhou one after another. ()
There are also people on the road who fall down and can't get up again, and the soldiers who take care of them will not untie the rope at all in order to save trouble, and directly cut off the arms of those who have fallen, so that other people do not need to stay and keep moving forward.
On the way, a corpse with a lost arm was left behind, and the lonely death was there and no one was buried, the same thing happened in different teams, but the result was the same unbearable, and some were not completely dead, paralyzed on the ground shouting and struggling.
And those ordinary people who are still trying their best to endure the severe pain under their feet and strive to move forward, turn a blind eye to what is happening, and all they think in their hearts is that as long as there is a slight opportunity, they will not let themselves become lonely ghosts lying on the side of the road.
The soldiers in Bazhou City saw something strange when they were far away, and several scouts who ran back from outside the city had red eyes, and jumped off their horses and went straight to the city to find Zhao Tianyou to report, and they followed from a distance for a long time.
It is no surprise that the Yuan army treats the Han people like pigs and dogs, but such a large-scale drive is rare, and in those empty and desperate eyes, there is not even the courage to struggle, only out of a desire for life, obeying the orders of the Yuan army.
After listening to the detailed report of the returning scout, Zhao Tianyou's face sank, it seemed that Kublai Khan was very unclear about his character, and the pain point that he was most disgusted with and easy to anger, that is, brutal treatment of ordinary people.
Tong Wenshan, Suo Duo and other Yuan soldiers were tortured by Zhao Tianyou by all means, but they did not completely dispel the hatred in Zhao Tianyou's heart, this time Kublai Khan's methods were even more cruel, can Zhao Tianyou not break out!
There was no need to report at the observation post on the watchtower, Zhao Tianyou personally climbed to the highest spire, and set up a pergola to observe the situation in the distance.
Don't these people know what Kublai Khan was going to do? Even if the head is on wood, it should be clear that this is not a good thing, it must be a tragic thing to hit the ground with a knife swinging over the head. But what about it? We are defenseless poor people, we work hard all day long, just to get a bite to eat, so that we don't freeze and starve to death, what did we do wrong? Why suffer this boundless calamity?
The low city walls of Bazhou City have been seen clearly, and the banner of the Great Song Dynasty is waving in the wind on the head of the city, which is so familiar and so unfamiliar, and those soldiers standing at the head of the city, holding sharp blades, look so burly and powerful.
"Woo...... I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"
"Help, spare us, we're just ordinary people!"
"Uncle, uncle, we can do labor, we can herd horses and feed sheep, and we can still use ......"
Some people with active brains have realized what they are going to face, and what is the ultimate purpose of the Yuan army, who have not even given them a mouthful of water and rice, regardless of their life or death, to drive them here!
The simplest and most direct effect, when the Yuan army invaded the Song Dynasty in the morning, it liked to capture some surrounding people and drive them to the front line of the siege team, acting as a human body shield to torture the defending Song soldiers.
If you are soft-hearted and reluctant to make a dead hand, then the Yuan army will seize the weakness and take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city, the situation changes rapidly when the two armies are fighting, as long as you hesitate a little, then the opportunity has been grasped by the opponent.
If you shoot these defenseless people with your eyes closed, shoot your bow and arrows, how much psychological pressure will there be? Who should give this order?
Zhao Tianyou came down from the watchtower, stood on the city wall and pondered for a while, he knew that the problems he would face in the future, whether it was a meat shield or a threat, was not too important, and the difficulty was that he couldn't think of a solution to the problem.
Is it okay to give up Bazhou City and retreat to the sea? No, Kublai Khan's sword will always hang over the heads of these people, and he really wants to save their fate, defeat Kublai Khan as soon as possible, and overthrow all this indiscriminate killing of innocent troops.
"It's up to me to be this bad guy, always be a good person, it's easy to lose the blood in my heart!"
Zhao Tianyou raised his head and seemed to be asking the sky, but the few young generals around him could understand what Zhao Tianyou was doing, and if they all wanted to change to their own command, what kind of orders would they give?
The Yuan army brigade was overwhelming, besieging the whole city of Bazhou on all sides more than ten miles away, and tens of thousands of ordinary people who were tied together by ropes were between the Yuan army camp and Bazhou City. The arms that have been tied for a long time have lost consciousness, and now they are untied from the ropes, and there will be dark wounds on both hands, and some sequelae will fall.
But in the eyes of the Yuan soldiers, they are a group of lambs who should have died, and the main purpose of the bombardment is to let them die here, under the city of Bazhou, so no one will worry and care about them a little.
"General, why don't I take the cavalry out, and after a while, how many can run into the city, and you can't watch them die, right?"
Zhao Tianyou raised his head and glanced at it: "Even if they are all saved, what can they do?" In less than two days, Kublai Khan was able to capture tens of thousands of people to attack the city, and at that time you were thinking, is what you did today right or wrong?
They are the lowest life, and they originally had a very ordinary life, but in the realm of the sixteen states of Yanyun, where is there a place where you can live an ordinary life? In the troubled times, there are very few choices, either you rise up to resist, or you will be enslaved for life.
In fact, this person is destined today, maybe you will think, if they have the right to choose, aren't they all coming by the soldiers of the Yuan army! But let me tell you, not entirely so, that some people knew me earlier, especially some of the boys in the firearms battalion, who knew what happened to me in the Mengjia fishing village in Quanzhou.
We don't even have enough knives, but none of the young people in the village are afraid of death, and they would rather die with me than bow their heads and accede to the pirates' demands. Why are they always in misfortune? It was all one choice after another that created what they have to face today, because I was forced to choose step by step to get to where I am today.
I think that many of them are seeking relief, no matter which way they die, it is their destiny, and I would rather choose a plan that allows them to endure humiliation for the shortest time. ”
