Section 480 Mortal deception
"Let's talk about the second one." He resisted the temptation well.
"You can leave the fortress with your immediate guards." Toren had already memorized the words of persuasion on the way here: "Lord Tyrantooth has said that he respects the brave warriors, and admires those who are loyal to their duties. No matter which one you choose, he will give you the most satisfying results. ”
Tartsville's inner shock reached its peak.
"It's unbelievable that these words came from the mouth of a savage giant...... The Lord is above, and that's a little unreal. He muttered to himself, the sense of crisis in his heart had been greatly reduced, far less heavy than before.
"Holy Lord above, all this is true!" Toren took a step forward, accentuating.
Tartsville didn't like to procrastinate, and he quickly decided: "Are those giants really willing to let us go?" ”
"It's you and your loyal men." Toruń corrected Tartsville's mistake and explained earnestly, "Lord Stormtooth needs this fortress, and all he wants is the fortress itself. As for the captives......"
As he spoke, Toren couldn't help but think of the barbaric legends about the northern giants that have been circulating among the kingdoms for many years: "They are not interested in human flesh, really! ”
Tartsville thought for half a minute and nodded slowly: "Okay! Go back and tell your giant commander that if you let us go, he'll get everything he wants. ”
……
An hour later, Tartsville led all the main building defenders out of the building.
The cruel reality is in front of us, and when the battle is fought to this extent, the Shenwei Fortress can no longer be defended. Regardless of the powerful artillery battles, especially if the drinking water is cut off, it would be suicidal to stay here any longer.
Just a diamond, not in the eyes of Tartsville. It's just a matter of tempting a junior officer like Torun who is born in a civilian background, and Tartsville's vision is not so low. He wanted to turn the tables and retake the fortress from the giants of the north. It wasn't too difficult for Tadsville to do that———— leading the remnants out of the fortress was just a show. He knew very well that those white officers and soldiers who were captured in the battle would definitely be affected by this, and as long as they went south to ask for help, or bypassed the fortress and went north to Suolong Pass, and joined forces with the kingdom alliance to counterattack, the chances of winning the battle were still very high.
Looking at these white men who were assembled in the open space outside the main building, Tyrant didn't say anything, just made a gesture, and the officer standing beside him nodded knowingly, and quickly rushed in with a team of dragon infantry, carefully inspecting and occupying various key positions.
Tazwell looked coldly at Tyrant Fang, who was standing behind the heavy human wall, surrounded by countless dragon infantry, and asked in a loud voice, "Can you let us go now?" ”
He knew Stormtooth could understand what he was saying.
After all, Tazwell had been nervous. He saw the weapons in the hands of those giant soldiers, both in length and caliber, beyond imagination. What's more, the "musket" is very different from the one you use, maybe the bullets used by the giants are like cannonballs, which will explode after firing and are full of power.
Stormtooth laughed horribly, and his thick fangs made him look particularly hideous. His gaze kept wandering over Tazville and the soldiers who followed him, staring at the arquebuses in their hands: "I didn't promise to let you leave with your weapons. Why, didn't the guy who saw you off before say this? ”
"I think you should let us keep our weapons." Tartsville replied quietly: "If you ask us to pay, it's not non-negotiable. ”
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. This is not a negotiation, but a clause that must be enforced. "The attitude of the violent teeth is very tough, and they will not budge at all.
"Alright then!" Tartsville didn't want to waste time on these things. He took the lead in drawing a short firearm from his waist, bent down and placed it on the ground, raising his hands so that Stormtooth, who was standing not far away, could see clearly.
The supreme commander of the fortress had already set an example, and the other soldiers had laid down their guns. Unloaded arquebuses were scattered on the ground, and soon gathered into a heap, looking like unorganized firewood.
"Very good, I see the sincerity of your cooperation." Brunetted with a smile, he snapped his fingers vigorously, "Get out of the way and let them out of town." ”
Everything went smoothly. As Tazwell led his soldiers past the cistern outside the main building, the Giant soldiers in charge of the guard even allowed them to fetch water with a jug. Although this caused a brief period of confusion and scramble, it largely dispelled Tazwil's vigilance.
This means that the northern giants will largely keep their promises and let themselves go safely.
Half an hour later, Tartsville and the others had already left the core control area of the fortress and came to the square near the south gate. The terrain is open, the buildings in the vicinity are low, and there is only a wall on the side that separates the blocks.
Just walk further down the street and you'll see the gate to the south of the continent.
Hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance. Soon, Tartsville's sight was filled with giant soldiers with loaded guns. They formed a half-moon array at the intersection in front of them, with the soldiers in the front row half-squatting on the ground, the back row standing, and everyone raised their guns to aim in this direction, and the muzzle of the black hole seemed to represent the eternal end of all the targets included in the scope.
A deathly silence enveloped the square. The stupor and shock lasted less than three seconds, and the bewildered white army suddenly fell into chaos.
"What do they want to do?"
"Didn't you say okay and let us go? Why are they in the way? ”
“…… We...... We were scammed. The giant had no intention of letting us go from the beginning. They want to kill us. ”
"Why is this happening?"
"No, I don't want to die."
Chattering and shouting filled the square. Without the officers' orders, the white soldiers, who had already come to their senses, turned around and ran wildly towards the way they came. As long as there is a little common sense, no one will continue to move forward at this time, which has been ruled by death, and there is no hope of survival.
Tartsville was also turning to run away, unwillingly, completely coerced by the others and forced to do so. Behind him was a dense burst of gunfire, bullets outpacing people, and he saw the lieutenant running on the right stumbling and screaming forward. The lieutenant was shot in the right shoulder, his abdomen exploded from the inside, the powerful bullet tore his belly, the shattered liver mixed with dark red dirty blood gushed out of his body, he lay on the ground with his hands covering the outflow of intestines and rolled in pain, but was hit in the neck by a bullet, separating his head from his body forever in the explosion.
The bullet went into the back of the head of the soldier running on the left, sending the entire skull flying. Like a man whose head has been hit with a hammer, the huge explosion even overwhelms the sound of gunfire. The broken tongue jumped out of the mouth and flew out of the unblocked and blown up. The broken teeth were wrapped in brains, hit the eyeballs, and flew more than ten meters away under the impetus of inertial force, and stuck to the wall with a "snap".
In fact, there are not many people who died on the spot after being shot by bullets, and there are no more than two hundred people in full combat. Tartsville thought that the Giant Commander was worried that the soldiers surrounding the square might accidentally injure each other, so he ordered the attack to be stopped...... But he was wrong, and it was less than a minute before he turned and fled, and the intersection behind him had been sealed.
There were as many as a thousand burly and strong giant soldiers. Dressed in heavy metal armor and armed with swords and tomahawks, they lined up in left and right order, with almost measured steps, with an indescribable cruelty and coldness, like steam rollers.
The white soldier who was running at the front did not have time to turn around, and was slashed in the air by a sharp sword, from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, and the whole person was split in half along the blood line.
Several of Tazwell's familiar heads flew in the air, and below them were fountains of blood that rose into the sky like a foil.
The screams and cries were deafening, but they were completely drowned out by the wild roar of the giants. Arquebusiers were lightly armoured, but they were defenseless against fierce giants. Tartsville knew the weight of that long knife, not to mention a person, even a horse or a cow was enough to be split in two by a giant.
What's more, these terrifying alien warriors were also armed with long-handled battle axes, and they were familiar with this weapon, and they were skilful and natural in their use.
Escape!
Live!
I don't want to die!
Everyone, including Tartsville, had similar thoughts, but couldn't find a way to live.
Giant soldiers could be seen all over the perimeter of the square, and all intersections were sealed. The difference is that the Giant Guards at other intersections are armed with rifles, and only the Giants that appear in this direction use cold weapons.
Tartsville's face turned gray, and he finally understood why the giant commander called "Stormtooth" had so readily agreed to let him go.
I was still naïve. The north and south of the continent have been opposed for thousands of years, and many wars have led to countless deaths. This is an undying blood feud, and it is impossible to be easily alleviated, let alone change each other's cognitive stance because of the war situation or out of some need.
Fiercefang, dressed in heavy armor, joins the fray. He was originally a heavy infantryman, and hand-to-hand combat was his forte. The sharp steel axe fell again and again, and he killed happily and heartily.
Cut off Tartsville's left arm, kicked him over as he was screaming and turned to run, and rushed over to step on his back, watching with furious teeth and contented as Tartsville wailed in pain and despair.
"Please, don't kill me. I'm willing to pay the ransom, no matter how much money you want. ”
"I am a nobleman, and I am entitled to make a claim to redeem myself."
"You can't kill me, or my family won't let you go. They will send killers and put you on the assassination list forever. ”
Tartsville is a very fast talker, often in times of fear and despair. Although he was lying on the ground, he could see the white soldiers around him being killed continuously. Several of the heads even rolled over and hit Tazwell's face, the perpetual frozen horror expressions that made him tremble, weak and crazy.
With an axe in one hand, Stormtooth slashed at the back of Tazwell's neck. The blade of the axe fell on a particular part, cutting off the bones, but only breaking two-thirds of the side muscles. An acute triangle appears between Tartsville's head and shoulders, and the smooth edge of the incision is as straight as if it were planned with a ruler.
Stormtooth wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face and spat at the corpse on the ground.
"Phew! Death is death, and the real chicken (harmony) talks a lot. ”
……
From the beginning, Tyrago had no intention of sparing the remaining defenders, led by Tartsville.
Persuasion is nothing more than a formality. In fact, even Storm Tooth himself doesn't have much hope for this. He prepared twenty cannons, intending to use a simple and crude method to blast at the building, and then send infantry to clear it.
Ensign Torun is an excellent lead party. He was shocked by the reward of the Tyrannical Tooth, which led to more greed.
"Sir, please leave this matter to me, and I will definitely do it to your satisfaction." Toruń patted his chest and made a reassurance.
Violent Tooth was skeptical, but for the sake of Torun being the first to surrender, he agreed to the request. In fact, in addition to long-term considerations———— it is really difficult to transport ammunition from Rock City, and a small amount of supplies from Leizhou City can reduce the risk of being cut off by the white coalition forces in the middle. Both bullets and cannonballs are precious, and if this guy named Toruń can really trick Tadsville out of the main building, Tyrant Tooth won't be stingy enough to give him a few more diamonds.
Not all defectors are treated the same as Toruń. As a result, he gained the trust of the Tyrant and gained the right to lead a detachment brigade on his own. It was five hundred white men who had laid down their arms and stripped off their armor, and Torun led them to clear the entire square, carrying all the dead out of the fortress and into the old dry riverbed to the north.
According to Tyranny's orders, 10,000 white troops began to repair the outer walls of Kamui Fortress. The fortress is stocked with various building materials all year round, and the walls that have been destroyed by artillery fire have been rebuilt layer by layer from the base. The process took some time, and Stormtooth continued the old way of selecting overseers from among the whites, giving them whips and clubs, showing off his two terrible fangs with a smile, and speaking English not too skillfully enough for the listener to understand: "The walls must be repaired within the appointed time." Don't talk about the difficulties and impossibilities. If you can't, I'll throw you to the soldiers below. ”
It's easy to understand ———— I don't eat meat, but that doesn't mean others don't eat it.
The progress of the first day of the project was satisfactory to Storm Tooth. Of course, the corresponding price was also high, and three hundred and eighty-eight white soldiers were killed on the spot by their fellow overseers for various reasons. The bloody and hideous heads hung high on the wooden poles on the construction site, becoming the best props to shock everyone.
New artillery mounts began to be erected at the same time, warehouses were emptied, useless metal shells were thrown into the ravines outside the city, and large quantities of gunpowder were buried and marked on the important sections of the road to the south.
