Chapter 604: Self-inflicted
It depends on the situation, it should be what message the people above conveyed to them.
But soon, Xue Langjing also knew the reason.
It turned out that the lower road of their Chu army, that is, the Northern Route Army, had been breached, and the Wei army was attacking the north gate of Nanyun City.
The city is about to be besieged, do they want to go back to help?
No, as soon as they retreated, the Wei army would follow.
Even if it was just a return of reinforcements, it would evolve into a rout of the Chu army, following in the footsteps of the Northern Route Army, and finally being encircled and suppressed in all directions.
At that time, the people who originally guarded the north gate will have to guard the whole city.
If they weren't going to help, what were they going to do?
Hold on!
Stop these Wei troops who suddenly launched a fierce attack here, and prevent them from joining the siege team.
Even if he knew that Nanyun City would not be able to hold it sooner or later, it would be able to hold it for a day.
At least they have done their best to protect the people of Chu.
And, what if a miracle happens?
Of course, the miracle did not appear in the end.
This battle was fought from day to night and from night to day.
Whether it was the attacking Wei army or the intercepted Chu army, in addition to fighting or fighting.
The battle of the flesh, the battle of the ability, and the long battle make people go from habit to numbness.
Whether it is the excitement in the numbness or the numbness in the excitement, in the end, it only turns into a monstrous war intent.
Time passed in the frantic fighting between the two armies.
This is also the first time that Xue Langjing has experienced continuous combat since joining the battle.
Although her 'ultimate' helped her defeat one enemy after another, it was still a drop in the bucket for the whole battle.
Manpower is sometimes so small.
Day and night, and day again, and so on, the numb soldiers and capable people seemed to be tireless at all, and only knew how to defeat the enemy in front of them.
However, there are so many enemies on the opposite side, and there is another to defeat one.
Moreover, it is also possible that you are defeated by the other party, or even killed.
The battlefield of the soldiers has long been a sea of corpses and blood, with countless casualties, and the battlefield of the capable has a lot of casualties, especially the low-level ability.
After all, this is a battlefield, the two sides are enemies of life and death, and when fighting for life and death, no matter how good their weapons and equipment are, casualties are inevitable.
With the gradual accumulation of casualties on both sides, finally, at a certain moment, a different horn sounded.
This is the clarion call for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
What does it mean to collect troops in such a situation?
It's clear to both sides.
Therefore, even if there was no news from above, the morale of the Chu army was at a low point in an instant.
In the Wei army, which was diametrically opposed to them, cheers kept ringing.
Even if they couldn't understand the language of the Wei people, at this moment, they seemed to be able to clearly know what they were cheering for.
What they cheered was that Nanyun City, which they had been guarding for a long time, had fallen!
There may be a massacre going on inside, a massacre against their Chu people.
It's just that all this is irreversible, and they can't do anything.
The only thing I can do is to go back to sleep, relieve the fatigue accumulated in the past few days, repair the injuries, recuperate the army, and fight again in the future.
Because behind them, there are still many cities to guard.
Back at the camp, the physically and mentally exhausted people almost didn't want to say anything, but hurriedly washed off the dirt of their bodies in silence, filled their stomachs at random, and fell asleep.
Including Xue Langjing, who experienced defeat and destruction of the city for the first time.
And they slept most of the day, and all night.
Following.
Xue Langjing woke up from her sleep and slept soundly, seemingly washing away all the negative emotions of yesterday.
Her thoughts were empty for a long time, and she didn't know what came to mind, so she sat up cross-legged and released her senses.
Soon, the scene of Nanyun City, which she didn't have the opportunity to enter last time, gradually appeared in her mind.
Here, it didn't seem to be the same as the broken city she imagined.
In addition to the corpses and blood stains in some luxurious mansions, there are also several fixed mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, and the look of panic and fear on the faces of some ordinary people, it is no different from other cities.
The desolation was not there, the houses were not damaged, the rubble was not broken, and the only thing that was lost was probably only some people and property.
So, what exactly is this war for?
For money?
If the other party is just for money, then knowing that he will lose, with the urine nature of the current group of people in power in the Great Chu Dynasty, it is very likely that he will ask for peace.
Anyway, it's not like I haven't asked for peace compensation before.
But it happened anyway.
That means that Wei rejected their request for peace.
Because in addition to robbing money, they also want to kill people.
But what's the fun in killing?
Could it really be as the people discussed, that the purpose of these barbaric Wei people who did not know civilized etiquette was not only money, but also wanted to occupy their Chu State, so they had to destroy their culture first?
With the wandering of her divine sense, it didn't take long for her to have a rough grasp of the situation in the entire Nanyun City.
Soon, the camp began to assemble.
They were going to pass through Nanyun City and rush to the next place to block a new round of attacks launched by the Wei army.
By the time everyone entered the city, it was already dark, and many people had already come out to do their activities.
Looking closely, the fall of the city in the first two days does not seem to have much impact on the daily lives of ordinary people.
It's probably more of a mental fear.
As I walked, I could faintly hear the voices of the people talking.
A certain woman said, "Zhang's family, weren't you called to identify profiteers before?" ”
"Eh, I said the Li family, you can't say that, what do you mean by being called? I was forcibly dragged away, okay, so many fierce and vicious Wei soldiers are standing with murderous knives and guns, my wife dares not to go? The other woman choked, apparently not quite agreeing with her,
"How many did you ident?"
The old woman retorted directly, "You man, look at what you said, this is a matter of human life, no matter how hateful these profiteers are, the old woman can't bear so many lives!" ”
"So, you didn't identify it?" The man sneered.
The old woman seemed to be a little weak-hearted, "That, that's not it, even if I say that they are all good people, they don't believe it!" I'm sure I'll find other reasons to kill people, and if I'm not happy, I guess I'll kill my wife. ”
"So you still pointed it out."
"Don't mean it works? The old woman doesn't want to die, besides, I'm not the only one present, I don't mean it, others will do it. ”
"Zhang's family, how many did you point?"
"I pointed to Zhu Heixin, Dong Dafu, and Zhou Quede's family, but their deaths can't rely on me, many people have identified them. Moreover, they are already bad, which of us usually didn't curse them to suffer a thousand knives, and they deserve to die, but they are pitiful for the abducted girls and women. ”
Hearing this, many people also sighed.
"In this way, these Wei people are also quite disciplined in some aspects, and they kill all bad people, but in fact, they are also disguised to kill traitors and eliminate evil for us."
"Yes, these black-hearted ghosts, they don't do much black-hearted things on weekdays, whether they die, they are still happy when they die, they just pity the innocent family members."
"That's it!" In order to reduce the burden on their hearts, the old woman deeply agreed with their words.
Then he seemed to think of something, and said angrily, "By the way, that Qian is a good person, and he usually does a lot of good deeds, but as a result, Wang Liuzi has an enmity with him, and he even identified him as a profiteer." ”
"Huh? This kid is so bad! The result? Why didn't the Wei people kill anyone? "Qian Yuanwai seems to be alive and well.
"Alas, we can't watch good people being slandered in vain, they all deny it, and the Wei people don't do it."
Speaking of this, the old woman seemed to have some lingering palpitations.
"It seems that the Wei people are not all bad."
But some people disagreed, "Cut, this is a good sale with us, you know, if you kill people indiscriminately, it will arouse our fierce resistance, so you have to have a name to rationalize your own killing and looting." ”
"Yes, this Wei person, there is no good person, otherwise, why rob our woman?"
"Yes."
Listening to the talk of the people, Xue Langjing also had mixed feelings in his heart.
These people are also self-inflicted.
