Chapter 329: The Slaughter of Armageddon
After the order was issued, the entire city of Tocharian became a hell on earth, and the Tang army became the most sophisticated killing machine, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, which was stronger than the Byzantine aborigines who were defeated and grabbed some broken copper and iron as weapons.
And how well-trained soldiers are what these civilians can withstand. The Mo knife team stood at the front, and every time the Mo knife was swung up, it would bring up a burst of bewitching blooming blood, and every time he took a step, he would step on the blood and stumps on the ground. And after the Mo Knife team, there are archers, and when the Mo Knife team is tired and needs to rest, the archers in the rear will shoot deadly arrows.
And in this process, the Modao team retreated, and the army behind came up again, rotating again and again, and just like that, they came towards the mob suppression.
On this night, the entire city of Tocharian became a stage of blood and fire, blood sprinkled all over the city, and the light of fire illuminated the sky. And all this was accompanied by the death of hundreds of thousands of Tocharian natives, and the entire city became a dead land. The Tang army also suffered the largest casualties after entering the Western Regions, with half of the death squads dead and the Tang army losing several thousand people.
This kind of loss made Li Daozong, who was in charge of garrisoning Tocharian City, angry in his heart, why the civilians who had been placed in the city suddenly rioted, he made it necessary to investigate thoroughly, and asked people to go to the rest of the cities overnight to warn and let the rest of the cities prepare.
But all this is a little later, the Byzantine Empire, built on a strong faith, perhaps there will be people in the ruling class who will be shaken by some interests, but most of the people at the bottom have a devout faith in Allah after Muhammad's years of preaching.
Therefore, before the messengers sent by Li Daozong reached the rest of the cities, popular uprisings broke out in those places one after another, or suicide attacks by the people of the Byzantine Empire. In this era, countless people can do anything for the sake of faith, believing that Allah will take them to the paradise where milk and honey flow after their death.
The Tang garrisons in all the cities made the same decision - suppression, bloody suppression, and kill all the people who participated in the mutiny here, and the Tang army during this period of time, completely slaughtered, and killed all the Byzantine civilians who could be searched and had combat effectiveness.
Because in this riot, the Tang army injured nearly 100,000 people, these are Tang Erlang, and their deaths made the generals and strategists of the Tang Dynasty no longer merciful. At this moment, all the generals of the Tang Dynasty will not risk the lives of the Tang soldiers to bet that these captured people will not riot again.
Therefore, the thirteen cities taken by the Tang Dynasty completely killed the Byzantine aborigines in just a few days. The smell of blood filled the entire defense line of the Thirteen Cities, and the corpses were burned in the fire, and millions of Byzantine civilians were completely killed.
Perhaps history will record their atrocities in the future, but as generals of an army, they have no other choice at this time. And if this news is transmitted back to Datang, they will be scolded by those Confucian scholars pointing at their backbones, but they have no regrets. Because they know that there is absolutely no room for negligence in this battle, which is related to whether the entire Datang will still exist, and it is the key to life and death.
So even if they are scolded by later generations as bloody butchers, they will not flinch in the slightest, even if they are poked in the back, they will stand up and bear it. These are the fate of their soldiers, to fight on the battlefield, to defend the country and kill the enemy. Whether the enemy is a fierce army or an unarmed civilian, as long as it is considered an enemy, then it must not be tolerated.
The speculation of these generals is not wrong, in the Tang Dynasty, when the news came, there was indeed an uproar, and countless Wenchen jumped out to accuse the front-line generals of being butchers and devils who annihilated human nature. But all of them were suppressed by Li Er, and he sat on the Nine Dragons chair in the Pure Yang Palace, looking at the hundred officials below.
Li Er only said one sentence: "All this is for the sake of Datang, if this battle is lost, Datang will be doomed." Everything that the front-line soldiers have done is on behalf of me and the Tang Dynasty, and if you accuse them, you are completely pushing the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire Central Plains nation into the abyss, do you also want to do the self-destruction of the Great Wall? ”
No one thought that Li Er would say this, and even among the people who jumped out to accuse, no one knew what this war was for.
A cholera disappeared without a trace, and Datang was behind it as the strongest backing of the front-line army, and even Li Er once again began to draw the army and prepare to support the Western Regions, because all this is really related to the Tang Dynasty and the life and death of the entire Central Plains nation.
Li Er unconditionally supported the army operations on the front line behind his back, and the entire Datang did its best to support the front line at this moment, and no one dared to question it at this time. In other matters, Li Er may let them advise and make compromises, but in this matter, he must be dictatorial.
This time it was a desperate gamble, the fate of the entire Tang Dynasty was pressed, except for the army in the southwest to prevent Tubo and Tuyuhun, the rest of the places must fully support the Western Expedition, if it was because the Tang Dynasty did not go all out, resulting in the failure of this Western Expedition, then the Tang Dynasty may only be able to become a prisoner of the European people in the future.
Of course, it is Lu Hanyang and them who really decide the victory, but Li Er, as the king of the Tang Dynasty, must make his own attitude, even if he is a tyrant who dictates the dynasty once this time, he will not hesitate to be infamy, and the infamy through the ages is also relative, if he wins this time, then the Tang Dynasty will become the strongest empire in the entire world in his hands.
In the face of such a measure of gains and losses, Li Er knew what choice he should make, and he also knew that there was no way out at this moment.
And Lu Hanyang and they have gone deep into Europe at this time, and even to the western tip of Europe, a place across the sea from North Africa, which is called the Visigothic Kingdom, they did not put the battlefield in the Western Regions, not even in the Byzantine Empire, but directly went deep into the enemy's base camp, at this time they were on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Lu Hanyang couldn't put the battlefield close to the Tang Dynasty, he didn't want the battle to affect any of the Tang people, although this time the Tang army would definitely suffer heavy damage, after all, the war between mortals was a battlefield of flesh and blood. But if their battle had been a little more affected, there would have been far more casualties than a great battle.
The Mediterranean coast, which is an oasis, is the opposite of the deserts in Asia, which is opposite the Mediterranean, where the subtropical high is affected and precipitation is scarce. The battlefield was chosen here in order to have a greater certainty of dealing with the enemy.
Lu Hanyang chose the battlefield and was originally prepared to be in the desert area, so that Pierce had room to play, but then he changed his mind and came to the place near the sea, because during this period of time, Xue Ji almost controlled the Seagod Trident, although it did not reach the level of James, but it was also similar to James who did not break through the demigod level.
At this time, Yukihime is able to control the sea and control the sea to attack. This advantage is not used, Lu Hanyang feels that it is a pity, and Pierce's yellow sand ability has also made a breakthrough at this time, although this area cannot be compared with the desert, but it can also control a large area of soil, and even stones.
Therefore, although the changes in the battlefield have an impact on Pierce, the impact is not too great, so the changes in the battlefield have a greater advantage for Lu Hanyang and them, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
So the battlefield was changed by Lu Hanyang, to this seaside, and in the area to the north, there is a desert, and when the time comes, Pierce will be able to exert his strongest strength if he puts the battlefield there.
The site of this battlefield is now called the Visigothic Kingdom, and more than a thousand years later it was called Spain. This is the most suitable place for the battlefield that Lu Hanyang found after searching all over Europe, so that his team can exert the most powerful combat power.
Now that the battlefield has been determined, all that is needed is the enemy, how to guide the enemy to this battlefield? Lu Hanyang went directly to Arthur, and he couldn't let the other party come with him, and it was more likely that he would be directly besieged and killed, because there were also several foreign players on his side.
And to go together? Why are you looking for this battlefield in that case? Therefore, there must be a more ingenious way to attract the enemy.
However, this way is not easy to find, just like Lu Hanyang's previous scruples, there are few opponents to eat directly, and there are many people, so it is better not to choose the place where this piece can be played the strongest. Then there is only one left, or Lu Hanyang will go by himself, and he will never be in love with the touch of a fight, so that he can attract the enemy.
After arranging everything, Lu Hanyang was ready for everything, so he could only act alone to lure the enemy over, and this time, Lu Hanyang had the biggest idea, he didn't just want to lure the enemy over together, and then solve it together. He thought more about killing a threatening enemy before the battle.
That's right, this is Lu Hanyang's idea: don't shoot, quietly enter the village, and then want to steal a chicken before being discovered. On the one hand, this can make the other party more jealous of himself and make it easier to lure the enemy. On the other hand, Lu Hanyang can take the opportunity to get rid of an enemy and expand the results of the battle.
And which one does Lu Hanyang want to get rid of? There is no need to think much about this, first of all, Anubis, the undead army summoned by this guy is still a trivial matter, and those things are only a little more difficult than ordinary people. Anubis' greatest threat is that he can summon the Hellhound, and the Hellflame of the Hellhound is the only thing that can threaten the Servitude Sigil.
So at this time, if you want to steal an enemy first, then Anubis is the first choice, because when Anubis dies, not only will the three-headed dogs of hell not appear, but the undead legion will not appear. And the second choice is the three-headed dog of hell, for the same reason. But it's missing Anubis.
That's right, as an alien player, Anubis is not as good as his own summoned beast, which is also sad.
But now it's not certain that these things are still true, at least you have to find the enemy first, and then kill the target, lure the enemy to chase you, and finally fall into this battlefield that you have laid down.
But where is the enemy? Lu Hanyang didn't know this either. Because Arthur was a demigod like him, and he didn't stay in one place, no one could force Arthur to stay still. On the other hand, Lu Hanyang felt that the other party must also have a conspiracy, and this time he searched for the enemy, maybe there would be unexpected twists and turns.
But what if there is an accident? Lu Hanyang still has to go, because the war has dragged on, and the manpower and material resources invested by Datang have reached the brink of danger, if it continues for a period of time, then Datang may not be able to hold on.
This is what Lu Hanyang has to consider, he needs to take one step at a time, not to go straight to the enemy, but to sneak in the past. So after finalizing the plan, he asked his men to continue to familiarize themselves with their fighting methods around the battlefield, while he himself quietly touched the British.
The legend of King Arthur is British, so Arthur's lair is definitely in Britain, which is not wrong, and the reason why they touched Spain all the way is because they have carried out a meticulous search along the way, and they have searched all the way to Spain, which is about to enter the Atlantic Ocean in the west of Europe, and have not found any trace of the enemy.
Then Europe will only be left with Britain in the north, so Lu Hanyang did not go elsewhere, but directly touched the UK, but he did not fly directly from the sky, but flew over the English Channel against the sea.
After standing on British soil, Lu Hanyang still did not show his figure, but quietly controlled the surrounding situation, he needed to know if the enemy was really here, and where the other enemies other than Arthur were expected.
Fortunately, Lu Hanyang's attribute panel has its own translation function, and there will be no language barrier wherever he goes, so at this time he directly inquired, half a year ago, it was not called the United Kingdom, but England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, etc., Arthur didn't even unify the United Kingdom.
This is England, and Arthur had been here half a year earlier, heading north to the Scottish territory, where it seemed that the castle was located. And at that time, in addition to the well-known servants of the Knights of the Twelve Round Table of King Arthur, there were also two mysterious guys.
This let Lu Hanyang know that the other party must have found a helper, and it was two, as for who it was? Lu Hanyang knew after a little thought that there was no one else except Anubis and Blood Shadow, and there were only two foreign groups left in this world, himself and Arthur.
