Chapter 166: The Beggar: Death
At this time, Borhan saw that the defenders of the city were so brave, and he was secretly glad in his heart. Before, he was still envious of Deb's wolf tooth army, which suppressed the defenders of the city to the point that they were powerless to fight back!
Originally, he was going to let him send more than a hundred goshawk iron cavalry to use as rangers to assist the iron armored heavy cavalry and the wolf tooth army to approach Tucheng.
But later, the ironclad heavy cavalry and the wolf's tooth army, seeing that the defenders of the city were weak in counterattack, advanced to more than 50 steps below the city. At this distance, the goshawk iron rider would not dare to approach.
The goshawk cavalry are all light armored cavalry, and at this distance, even if the bows and arrows of the counterattack in the city are weak, they can already shoot and wound them.
Unlike the Wolf Tooth Army, the Goshawk Iron Riders are protected by the Heavy Bears of the Storm, and they have no defensive bows and arrows except for the round shields in their hands.
When he saw that the Wolf Tooth Army had already suppressed the city wall, he had no power to fight back. These rangers can no longer play a supporting role, so they have already withdrawn.
Fortunately, his goshawk cavalry withdrew earlier, but this goshawk cavalry did not lose a single manpower, and after Deb saw these goshawk cavalry of Borhan, he shouted wildly: "Borhan, hurry up and let your goshawk cavalry press up! Suppress the defenders on the city wall with bows and arrows! Protect those soldiers and quickly retreat!"
Borhan spread his hands and said: "In this situation, it will be useless for my goshawk iron horse to go up! I can only lose manpower in vain! You all know that my goshawk iron horse is light armor, how can I prevent the opponent's bow and arrow attack?"
Although everyone knew that he was right, Deb still stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and roared: "Then you will just watch my wolf tooth army be destroyed there, and you will do nothing?"
Although Borhan didn't want to offend Deb, if he really sent the goshawk iron cavalry to suppress the city wall now, he didn't know how many men he would lose?
Besides, my goshawk iron horse will go up and send you to your death, and you will come back in exchange for your wolf tooth army! Are you really stupid to be my Borhan? In the face of Deb's roar, Borhan turned his head away, as if he had not heard it.
When the last Wolf Tooth archer, after being shot to the ground. All the top leaders of the rebels fell silent.
The shield bearers were also withdrawn one after another.
Under the earthen city, corpses were everywhere. The blood-red moonlight fell on the lying corpses, miserable and desolate.
On the entire battlefield, only one Storm Bear Heavy Rider was still standing.
These nearly 300 living human lives have turned into cold corpses in just such a short period of time.
Gesang took the bow and arrow in his hand and rode heavily at the only remaining violent bear.
"Let him go, although he is alive, his soul is buried here!"
Night 19 stopped the bow and arrow that Gesang was about to shoot.
Everyone looked at the only one, still standing on the battlefield.
Watching him stand there in a daze, like a lifeless walking corpse.
The defenders of the city couldn't help but shout at him: "That lucky guy!
The heavy rider heard the shouts from the city, and when he heard that he had spared his life, his eyes gradually became a little brighter in his desperate eyes.
He looked down at his former comrades and comrades, all of whom had collapsed, reduced to a cold corpse.
He suddenly fell to his knees with his legs, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry bitterly, "Why is this? What is it for? Why are we killing each other when we are people from the same grassland?" Why are we ...... each other?"
He thought he was going to die, but after suddenly hearing that his opponent had spared his life, he went from complete despair to sudden hope, and the conversion of two extreme emotions made his mind collapse.
The entire battlefield fell silent, except for the roar of the Violent Bear Heavy Rider echoing across the battlefield.
Uncle Kunshan leaned out and said to the city: "If you want to know why, go back and ask your master! If it weren't for their ambitions, this rebellion would have been set off! How could we, who are compatriots, kill each other! Go back and tell your comrades-in-arms that we should stop being obsessed and follow the patriarchs of those wolf ambitions! We are all brothers and relatives on the grassland!"
After hearing Uncle Kunshan's words, the heavy bear rider slowly straightened up, staggered around, and staggered towards the rebel camp.
All the rebels saw that almost all of the 300 men who had just gone out were destroyed under the earthen city. Only one Storm Bear was left to ride back, step by step.
Everyone looked at the name, the only surviving Storm Bear Heavy Rider. I don't understand why the defenders on the city wall want to let go of this violent bear heavy rider?
Deb gritted his teeth and said to Brownini, "This violent bear must not be allowed to ride again and come back alive!"
"Why? Lao Tzu is the only one left with a hundred violent bears! Do you still want him to die?"
Brownini was furious at this time, and he couldn't help but roar when he heard that Deb was going to kill the only remaining Storm Bear Heavy Rider.
"Didn't you hear what he was shouting, what would he say if he came back alive, what would he do if the army was distraught, so he must die!" shouted Deb as well.
In fact, Brown Tini also knew that if he let that Violent Bear ride back to the barracks, in his state, I don't know what he would say? If he really wants to say something that disrupts the morale of the army, then he will be killed, and it will be a little late, so it is better to just let him stay on the battlefield!
Unbeknownst to the Bear Heavy Rider, the Grim Reaper was waiting for him. After just walking more than a hundred steps, he gradually adjusted, and although he was still depressed, he was in a better state.
He is getting closer and closer to his barracks, and he will be able to return to the army after a hundred or ten steps. The defenders of the city at this distance were no longer able to shoot him.
When he finally picked up a life and came back, three more violent bears rode out of his camp and rushed towards him.
These three comrades are here to pick me up, and after I go back, I must take off this armor and be a herdsman who keeps my duty from now on, and live a good life with my family!
The violent bear rode heavily, looking at the three comrades who rushed over, and the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
But the smile on his face quickly froze on his face.
What are they carrying in their hands? How is it a chain hammer that specializes in dealing with heavy armor? How is it that in their eyes, it is no longer the affection between comrades-in-arms, but the hideous killing intent!
The three ironclad heavy riders quickly enlarged in his eyes, and then a black thing went straight in front of his eyes. Ever since he saw the hideous killing intent in the eyes of his comrades, he had stayed there.
He didn't understand, who were these comrades-in-arms trying to kill? Could it be himself?
With a "bang", the sound of a heavy object hitting his head was heard in his eardrums, and the sound of bones shattering, which was the last sound he heard.
After the hammer hit the head of the Storm Bear Heavy Rider, the Storm Bear Heavy Rider was hit by this blow, and the whole head was smashed and collapsed, and it was no longer human!
The Violent Bear rode to death and didn't understand why the enemy didn't kill him, and his comrades wanted to kill him?!
His body fell heavily on the grass in a parabola, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The three Bear riders spun in a circle, then threw the hammer out of their hands, wrapped around the Bear Rider's ankle, and dragged him back.
All the rebel soldiers didn't understand why they wanted to kill the only one who had escaped.
When three heavy horsemen were seen, the body was dragged back to the rebels.
Deb rode his horse with a straight face, and came to the corpse of the heavy bear and took a first look. Then, with the horsewhip in his hand, he pointed at all the rebel soldiers who were standing solemnly, and said sharply: "The men on the grassland can only live by standing, how can they die on their knees!? He is actually under the earthen city, kneeling there, begging for his life from those defenders! He has already lost the face of our steppe people! Therefore, he must die! Only by dying, can he wash away the shame he has brought himself! Everyone listen! If there is another person like him who kneels and begs to surrender to the enemy army! There will be no mercy for immediate death!"
All the rebel soldiers were frightened, defeat and capture were common! Except for the fact that few people would surrender when fighting with the outer steppes, if there was a tribal dispute within the tribe, when there was a battle between the two tribes, it was a very common thing to be defeated and beg for their lives, and it was not a shameful thing!
And this kind of thing will also be allowed by the patriarch of his own tribe. Because after the dispute, the defeated side will always have to compensate cattle, sheep and livestock, and will also use cattle, sheep and livestock and other goods in exchange for the captured soldiers.
The purpose of this is to prevent the population of one's own tribe from losing too much due to the internal war, and thus losing the foundation of its foothold.
Cattle, sheep and livestock will breed in large numbers in two or three years, but it will take ten or twenty years for the population to increase.
If we are defeated today, we may win it back tomorrow! As long as there is a population, what is the gain or loss for a while? But if we lose the population, we don't know when it will be relieved? If the population is even reduced to a certain extent, it will be annexed by other tribes, and there will be no more days when the people will be established.
All the rebel soldiers knew that inside the city was the old Khan Khan. Those who fought with him were also on the southern grasslands, and the chiefs of various tribes were waiting to be guarded.
In the final analysis, these are all people in the southern grasslands, and this war, no matter how you look at it, can be regarded as an internal struggle in the southern grasslands. It's normal to be defeated and beg for your life, but what's wrong?
But just now, the patriarch of Debu announced that if anyone dares to be defeated and surrender again, there will be no mercy!
This war is no longer an intra-clan war, it is equivalent to fighting with people from another tribe!
Then this battle will become a war to the death!
The blood-red moonlight on the night sky gradually faded, and the blood moon had already set.
At this time, the entire battlefield was pitch black, and it was the darkest part of the day, the darkness before dawn.
The defenders of the city walls sat against the wall, and there were already lighted torches in several places, and after a short period of time, the sky would be bright.
After Kunsang saw the rebels ride the fleeing bear and kill him. I couldn't help frowning and sighed.
After Chu Chongshan saw it on the side, he smiled at Kunsang and asked, "Uncle Kunsang, how beautiful the battle just now was fought by the brothers! Why did you win, and you still sighed?"
