Chapter IX: Pre-War Mobilization
It's been a long time since I've opened a history book...... I haven't written about the war scenes, so I'll just watch them......

Siege is never a brainless process, the enemy is not a bullet fired in a straight line, but only storms a wall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When you hear an enemy attacking an enemy from one direction, it usually means that several other walls will also be under siege.
Sure enough, before the enemy in the west could see it, the east gate where Jiang Feng was located was shrouded in the clouds of war.
On the hill directly opposite the east city gate, a twisted line suddenly appeared, and if you look carefully into the distance, you will find that it is not a twist at all, but a dense figure of people!
First the human head, then the body, then the mighty enemy that came like an ocean of heads!
They carried spears and axes of various styles, some of them with rudimentary bows and arrows, and arrows stuck in their quivers at their waists.
The huge torrent rises and falls with the terrain of northern Shaanxi, like a wave, in a vain attempt to swallow the entire giant city in one fell swoop. The waves of people are rolling on the ground, and the feet are rolling up and falling between the rolling smoke and dust, and a large group of people and waves are mixed together, which is a moving sea of smoke and dust that sweeps the sky!
From a distance, the smoke and dust looked like a column of smoke that kept moving, a monster of smoke and dust!
Step through the mountains of northern Shaanxi and kill the blood-colored sky paved by the remnant sun!
But such a terrifying scene, but did not alarm the panic of the people at the city gate, in this era called the "Longshan Culture" period by later generations, it is the "heroic era" in Chinese history, it is a world of all countries, the bloody millennium of continuous conquest!
The scene of bloody battles is something that everyone must face calmly in this period, fighting with wild beasts, fighting with nature, and even more with the same kind!
The rough men at the east gate looked at the huge enemy army that swept in, and their faces were more bloody and eager to try than panic.
The brawny man who had been executed with an axe turned back, with an axe and shield in his hand, and a bronze dagger pinned to his waist. His clothes were covered with handmade ornaments, and he had tattoos on his body, and judging by his body shape and various clothing items, this strong man was a high-class person in this majestic giant city.
"Fight! Fight! Give them a head start! ”
The strong man's mouth was bursting with anger, and the wings of his nose were like the fire dragon in Western legends, and flames could erupt directly from his nostrils at any time.
His roar was like a trumpet, and the men who had stood separately before drew their weapons and stood beside him, like an iron wall.
The strong man drew the dagger at his waist and held it high: "The despicable enemy took advantage of the gap between the army in the city and attacked us!" Our vassal tribes have also betrayed us! To make matters worse, the garrison in the city has not yet been organized! ”
On the city wall, groups of soldiers rushed out, looking hurried, obviously not fully prepared.
The aristocratic strong man came up and shouted out the current disadvantage quickly and loudly, and then changed the conversation: "But! The number of enemies is large, but they are only lowly barbarians, and as soon as our army arrives, they will be crushed at the touch of a button! The city has now sent people to contact the troops on the front, and with a little persistence, with the protection of our great city and the gods, the heads of the enemy will surely become our wine cups! ”
The strong man carried an axe and walked slowly past each warrior, and the sea of people pressing in the distance did not make him afraid.
"What we have to do now is to defend this wall! Do your best to defend this wall! ”
From the city gate came out of a lot of warriors with weapons, the number was not many, intermittently out of about a hundred people, compared to the black pressure of a piece of enemy soldiers, this hundred people of course not much, from the point of view of clothing and clothing, this hundred people and the rough men outside the city to perform the head cutting ceremony belong to the same class.
"But because of the vile sneak attack of the enemy, the garrison in our city has not yet been assembled, at least ...... If the enemy attacks directly, our wall is not ready, and if we are not careful, the enemy will attack the city! ”
The strong man looked at the undulating hills with deep eyes, and slammed his fist into his chest.
"So! We must delay the advance of the enemy army and give the army in the city time to prepare! So I'm going to take the lead! Rush into the enemy with the warriors behind you, and you, all who are bloody, will follow me! ”
The strong man raised the stone axe and dagger, and the two collided with each other, making a sonorous sound of gold and stone colliding, which is the sound of war and may be the earliest "musical instrument" of mankind.
"Now, you people will be the warriors who accompany me in this glorious mission, the heroes of this city, and the gods of war who let the barbarians see our bravery, walking on the ground!"
"Although there are many enemy troops, we still choose to advance!"
The blood vessels in the strong man's neck bulged violently, and the sonorous sound of gold and stone exploded in the field in an instant.
"Attack!"
"Forward!"
"Kill them!"
The strong man's words resonated with the warriors, who kept cheering and waving their weapons in their hands, as if they were going to pick apples from a low tree instead of sending them to death.
"And you, slaves, if you take up arms and fight the enemy, when the battle is over, whether or not there is a capture, all who live can be exempted from the status of slaves." The strong man walked up to the slave, and his words were full of demagogy, "Not only can you become free people, but your family can also be exempted from the status of slaves as long as they are alive." ”
The strong man glanced at the body of the man with the stump arm on the side with his eyes: "I believe that there will not be many people like him." And do not hope for the invading enemy, who is an intruder from the west, a cruel savage, who falls on them in battle, and you know the fate of the enemy. ”
Not every tribe is as "reasonable" as they are.
With that, the strong man took a shield from the ground and motioned for his men to throw their weapons to the slaves on the ground.
There were quite a few prisoners of war who were captured like Jiang Feng, but these prisoners of war did not belong to the same tribe, but came from different tribes, and the scattered small tribes were broken one by one, and then captured in the giant city as a supplement to free labor.
"Barbarians."
An elderly slave looked at the barbarians surging in the distance, and then at the strong men beside him, he gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, respectfully picked up the axe, and looked into the distance.
It was as if a pebble had been thrown into a pond and caused ripples, and after the old slave had stood up, one man after another had risen again.
However, most of the slaves who looked at the human head pit chose cold confrontation, they had an inextricable blood relationship with the women who had just been killed, and in the era of blood revenge, these people were already very rational if they did not directly pick up the stone axe and riot.
But there are exceptions to everything, and in this group of slaves of the same tribe who were coldly opposed, Jiang Feng stood up, picked up the axe from the ground, and stood in the line of troops who were about to use their mantis arms as a cart.
"You ......"
The coldly confronted slaves raised their heads one after another and glared at Jiang Feng, their eyes were angry, puzzled, or angry!
