Chapter 4: The Battle for the Defense of the Village (2)
At a glance, the screams at the city gate became less and less, and it seemed that the gate was almost completely occupied. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, a very important thing suddenly occurred in my mind and I forgot to arrange it, because many people in the village could still be seen running for their lives.
Some people were carrying large bags and small bags, while others were driving horse-drawn carriages, trying to escape from the village through the back door.
I was so anxious that I immediately told Azo to go down together and let them all hide, otherwise the people in the thief village would be massacred.
But Azo said very heavily: "Those who achieve great things must not be dragged down by the love of their children, and they must not attach too much importance to affection and righteousness, and they must learn to be round." ”
Hearing this, I didn't expect Azzo, who usually likes to joke so much, to be such a cold-blooded animal.
Angrily said to him: "Okay, if you don't go down, I'll go down." ”
After saying that, I turned around and was about to climb down the watchtower, but Azo grabbed me and said, "Xiaowei, you can't go down now." ”
"What? If you don't go down, I'm not allowed to go down. ”
Aszo dragged me to the tower, stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, and said, "You can use it when you go down, you can see what is in front of you." ”
I looked back a short distance ahead and saw that all the crossings out of the village had been sealed by fire, and the people had no way to escape.
I immediately reached out and grabbed Azo's neck, and said angrily, "You gave the order, right?" Why are you doing this? Do you want all the people to be burned in the fire? ”
Azo smiled and replied, "Haha, so what? The art of war, put it to death and then live, it is better to let them die more worthwhile. ”
After repeated questioning, it was learned that when Azo was leading the soldiers to set traps, he ordered the soldiers to set fire to all the crossings to prevent anyone from escaping from the village.
At that time, I was so angry that I pressed Azo to the ground and beat him up, and kept scolding him for not being a thing, it was too bad.
Azo didn't fight back, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's over, right?" Have you relieved your anger, then now I ask you, who should be taken and who should be discarded after being slaughtered and killed in battle? ”
I didn't understand the meaning of the words for a while, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Azo slowly got up from the ground and said, "Do you think the people can escape?" I just went to the city gate to see, and the front troops of the Necromantic Army are all riding ironclad war horses, can two legs run over four legs? ”
Then, with a sigh of relief, Azo continued, "Once the people have fled, the Necrons will harvest them as ruthlessly as wheat. ”
I didn't pay attention to Azuo's words, anyway, the fight was over, and I couldn't do anything with him, I never felt that Azuo was so terrible before, I just thought he was a braggart king, and treated him as a living treasure.
Then I stretched out my neck and looked down at the situation below, and saw that many of the people had already given up on escaping, sitting stupidly and motionless, and saw despair in their expressions.
At the same time, Azo stretched out his neck and kept shouting loudly below: "Fathers and fellow villagers, do you want to be a slave for a lifetime, or do you want to be a hero for a minute, pick up the hoe and shovel in your hand, go to battle, and let the blood of the enemy penetrate our robes." ”
I repeated this sentence over and over again, but Azo didn't go down by himself, and he was roaring on the tower alone, which made me embarrassed.
All the people below seemed to hear Azo's shout, and everyone rose from the ground, as if their souls had been woken up by him.
Many men, women, and children look up at us with this kind of hatred, as if they hate us.
"It's the two of them, let's kill them if we can't escape." One of them stood up and said, and then a large crowd of people rushed in our direction.
At this time, I suddenly felt that the watchtower was shaking a little, and when I looked down, there were already people dismantling the tower below, holding an axe in their hands and cutting down the columns.
I turned my head to Azo and scolded, "You see the good things you did, and you put them to death and live in the future, and now they are all turning against each other." ”
Azo was not in a hurry at all, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Look, it is exactly what I expected." ”
At the same time, I also turned my head to look not far ahead, a large group of necromantic troops on horseback were killing in this direction, and they were still shouting all kinds of slogans, and they were still shouting in a neat voice.
Many people under the watchtower, seeing the necromantic army, gave up demolishing the tower, and all of them scattered, running to the east and west, fleeing for their lives in all directions.
But things are not the same as Azo thought at all, the people did not do any resistance at all, or fled for their lives, and let the necromantic army chase and kill unscrupulously.
Azo and I also took the opportunity to climb down the watchtower and escape to a small wooden house and hid.
Soon after, I saw that the streets and alleys were covered with the blood and corpses of the people, and not a single necromantic army was injured, let alone a single necromantic army fell.
It's like a pack of jackals pounced on sheep, not that the invasion was fierce, but that everyone did not make any resistance and let him slaughter them.
In fact, I have always felt incredible, why the people are so uplifted when they see us, and they want to cut it with a thousand knives, but they are very timid in the face of the necromantic army.
At this moment, there was a bang, and it seemed that the Necromantic Army had stepped on the mines that had been planted in advance.
Because there are not many mines, they are made by improvised processing, they are too hasty, they are buried very scattered, and even some mines have problems with their quality, they are dumb mines, and they cannot be stepped on.
After a long while, I heard a sound, and I had the impression that there were a lot of mines, and it stands to reason that the thunder should have been coming constantly.
It seems that most of the mines planted before are dumb mines, which also led to more than half of the casualties of the Necromantic Army, but he didn't expect his first plan to fall through.
After a while, no more thunder was heard, and the enemy was on guard, and they were all surprised, and they could not be seen advancing through the cracks in the house.
Some of the necromantic armies even camped in the same place to cook and cook, and they also found a lot of food from the houses, which was all poisonous.
I also specifically instructed the soldiers to use the kind of poison that occurs slowly, not to be highly poisonous, so that everyone can eat the poison.
If the first soldier is poisoned immediately, the rest of the soldiers will certainly not eat it, and I don't want the second plan to fall through again.
At this moment, two necromantic soldiers suddenly rushed into the house where Azo and I were hiding, and the two of them quickly hid in the corner of the bed.
Seeing that the two of them were tossing and turning, searching for food everywhere, thankfully they didn't search under the bed, probably because they didn't think there would be any food under the bed.
After a while, the two necromantic soldiers walked out with their food, watching them use the food of the people as military rations, and the more they looked at them, the more they looked like bandits.
It didn't take long for the Necronomicon to start gobbling up the food after cooking, but strangely, after an hour, I didn't see a single Necronomicon poisoned and collapsed, still giggling and chatting.
I wondered if these soldiers had poisoned their food, and I turned around and asked Azo.
Azo said quietly: "It's indeed poisoned, maybe the toxicity is a little too weak." ”
"It's not weak, I don't see any signs of poisoning at all." I whispered back
Azo didn't reply to me, but his face was a little ugly, as if he was about to sneeze, and I immediately reached out to cover his nose, suggesting that he should hold back and not make too much noise.
At this time, the necromantic army outside the door was full of laughter, chatting with each other, and seemed to be safe.
A man was seen riding a horse on the street in front of the door, followed by a number of soldiers, dressed in blue battle robes, who recognized at a glance as the dwarf, who was the supreme commander of the Necromantic Army.
If even he is here, it proves that the main forces of the Necromantic Army are here, and it seems that this rebellion has caused quite a stir.
But at this moment, what I am worried about is whether this poison will attack in the end, and if it does not, the second plan will not be in vain again.
Azo was still whispering comforting on the side, saying, "It's okay, we have a third plan, and this plan is the most practical." ”
The third plan in Azzo's mouth was to wait for the necromantic army to fall asleep, and send a signal to the soldiers hiding in the tunnels in the house, so that they could quietly come out and assassinate the spirit army.
The signal is a code word, learn from the cat and the dog, and when the sound is heard, the soldier will quietly crawl out of the tunnel and kill by surprise.
After that, the sky darkened, and many of the necromantic soldiers began to sleep soundly, and many soldiers were still snoring non-stop, but there were still a few soldiers standing guard on the night shift, and they also looked listless.
When the time was ripe, he began to keep sending codes, his voice was hoarse, and he didn't see the soldiers crawling out of the tunnel, and the screams continued to be continuous, and the several necromantic soldiers standing guard began to be a little suspicious.
I immediately told Azo to stop and tell him to stop screaming, because something would happen when he was calling.
"What did those soldiers do? Why hasn't it come out yet? I whispered angrily.
"I don't know, I guess I'm asleep in the tunnel."
"Lean ......"
Now it's over, all three plans are invalid, and the mine plays a role as a culmination, killing several necromantic armies.
I turned my head and continued to ask Azzo if he wanted to use the last plan, but Azo shook his head and said no, the night was too humid for the fire to burn completely, and there was no contact with the soldiers.
The last plan was to set fire to the village, which was originally intended to be used tomorrow morning, but now there is no way to communicate with his soldiers, and even if it burns, the only ones who can escape are me and Azo.
At this moment, several necromantic troops standing guard and patrolling in front of them fell to the ground one after another, their faces were bleeding, could it be that the poison had attacked?
Chen Yu suddenly took a few soldiers out of the cabin and took the opportunity to kill the necromantic army lying on the ground and not waking up.
Ah Zuo and I also rushed out at once, and joined Chen Yu together, and the necromantic army on the street was lying on the ground one after another.
You can even hear the screams of some of the necromantic army, and it seems that the poison has really attacked, and the necromantic army stationed in the village has lost their resistance.
"Brother Chen, you don't need to come out, hurry up and hide back in the house."
After Chen Yu heard this, he nodded, and returned to the small wooden house with the soldiers.
The toxicity was one after another, and many of the necromantic soldiers were poisoned and fell over, and from time to time, three or five soldiers rushed out of the alley and made up two knives for the necromantic army who fell to the ground.
The necromantic army stationed outside the village heard the screaming sound, and thought that the soldiers had a cold, but they didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the sound was very scattered and the movement was not loud.
Overnight, all of the necromantic army in the village was poisoned alive, with the occasional one or two struggling in agony on the ground.
It wasn't until the next day that the necromantic army stationed outside the village came in and saw it, so they hurriedly withdrew their troops and left, according to the reaction, these necromantic army thought that there was a plague in the village, so they did not dare to set foot in the village for half a step.
At noon, I sent soldiers to count the number of necromantic troops, and found that only about 300 people had been poisoned last night.
According to the soldiers' reports, there were no less than 100,000 necromantic troops who came to attack the city yesterday, and most of them were stationed outside the village, and only a few hundred people were symbolically stationed in the village.
Chen Yu also told me that they used to have a very large and prosperous fortified city, not far from this village, but now it has fallen, and there are many "rebels" stationed there. After the Necronomicon took the city, they stopped by and took the village.
Hearing Chen Yu say this, he understood, and he had been thinking about it before, how could such a large army come to just a small village.
After understanding the general situation, he returned the talisman to Chen Yu, but Chen Yu excused himself and kept praising me, saying that I had the talent of a general, and hoped that I could continue to lead these soldiers.
Azo also pulled me over and quietly told me not to return the talisman and take the opportunity to expand his power.
I didn't pay attention to Ah Zuo, stuffed the talisman directly into Chen Yu's hand, and said, "Brother Chen, although I am not a good person, I will definitely not take advantage of others. ”
When Chen Yu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Haha, dare to call yourself a bad person, you really have an extraordinary bearing, if it wasn't for the help of my brother and Taiwan yesterday, I would have died under the chaotic sword a long time ago." ”
Although Chen Yu repeatedly refused, he finally returned the talisman to him, and Azuo kept saying that I am a woman's benevolence, and it will never work.
Not long after, Chen Yu and I came to the mansion together, and saw that the people inside were all talking.
Some people say that the people in the village are all dead, and what will they rely on to sustain themselves in the future.
Others said that it was better to go to the mountains and become bandits......
The group of people in the mansion were still the same as yesterday, and when they saw us entering the mansion, they were much more enthusiastic than before, and they were not in that kind of discriminatory eyes, and they all called me and Azuo generals.
But the old man in front of him, after seeing us come in, didn't pay attention to us, but walked up directly to ask Chen Yu: "Has the talisman been returned?" ”
