The fastest updated novel, so the fourteenth prince said that he had a way to save his life after launching the divine thunder, and He Wuji didn't believe it very much.
On the contrary, Yan Fulong and Wang Xuan have cultivated an almost blind trust in the Fourteenth Prince, so they have no doubts in their hearts at all.
He Wuji was about to open his mouth to persuade again, when suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door.
A soldier hurriedly walked to the door and said loudly: "Report to Your Highness Fourteen, the fierce ancient barbarians outside the city have moved." β
Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, what's the movement?
The soldier grabbed his hair and said with a confused face, "This ...... Not really. I can't say what happened. His Royal Highness went out and talked with his own eyes, and he would naturally know. β
Xiao Sheng nodded, stood up, and said to Yanfu Dragon King Xuanhe Wuji and the others: "Let's go out and have a look." β
Take the lead and walk out.
The other three, naturally, followed closely.
After a while, the four of them walked up to the castle tower and looked up.
I saw that the three 10,000-strong teams of the fierce ancient barbarians were in a position a few miles away from the city, but they really didn't look like they were going to attack.
After the Menggu army arranged its formation, it also closely monitored the movements of the city here.
The four princes and others had already appeared, and in the fierce ancient army, they immediately blew the horn and beat the war drums.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men and horses galloped out and approached the city.
The leader has a domineering demeanor, like a mighty and angry lion with a self-righteous eye.
The people around him were like the earth dog next to the lion.
With such momentum, its identity is already about to be revealed.
After a few moments, the group came to a halt about eight hundred paces from the city gate.
The leader raised his head and shouted: "I am one of the ten major military protectors of the Menggu Kingdom, and the former military protector is a warrior and a warrior. Who is in charge of the city now? β
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "This king, the fourteenth prince of the Dahao Dynasty, Xiao Sheng Xiao Yuanheng." What are you doing here? Haha, it shouldn't be persuasion, right?"
Xiongwu howled and said loudly: "It turns out that you are the fourteenth prince of the Great Hao Dynasty. Well, very well. Prince Dahao, our fierce ancients have always respected heroes and admired warriors the most. Yesterday on the battlefield, you have proven yourself to be a true heroic warrior. So now, I'm going to give you a chance. A chance to live!"
His complexion changed, and Xiongwu shouted loudly: "Prince Dahao immediately opened the city and surrendered, kneeling to meet the army." Then let the priests of our wolf temple plant a forbidden in your body and swear eternal allegiance to the wolf god. In this way, you and the generals under your command will be able to live. Otherwise, on the day the city is broken, all of you will die without a corpse!"
Fourteen was stunned, then laughed dumbly, shook his head and said nothing.
Yan Fulong next to him laughed and shouted, "Cheeky brute who is not ashamed." Say such things, and you are not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue. Who won yesterday's battle?"
Xiongwu sneered: "In yesterday's battle, we were just careless. We have an army of 300,000, and there will be reinforcements in the future, and they will come in an endless stream. They are trapped in a lonely city, with no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and they will only get weaker and weaker. If you don't surrender as soon as possible, you will die without a place to be buried. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it. β
He Wuji said coldly: "Xiongwu Howling Day, if you come here today just to intimidate us, then you can save it." We Dahao men have never only died in battle, and there is absolutely no surrender on the knee. β
Xiongwu laughed and said loudly: "This may not be. Prince Dahao, I'll let you go west. After that, it's not too late for you to make a decision. β
Without waiting for everyone in the city to agree, Xiongwu Howl raised his right hand and waved it back violently.
Immediately afterward, the fierce ancient soldiers and horses arranged several miles away immediately surged like a tide.
In an instant, they advanced to a place only about a mile and a half from the city, and then at the same time to the left and right.
said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the scene in front of everyone in the city all gasped.
Then the pupils contracted, breathing suffocated, and everyone clenched their fists hard, and anger filled their chests.
Just because ...... It is the common people of northern Xinjiang, and there are at least tens of thousands of them.
As far as the eye can see, I can only see these ordinary people, men and women, old and young.
From 80-year-olds to three-year-olds, all of them are not included.
Everyone was dressed in rags, and their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were strung together in a long string with thick hemp rope, describing them as extremely embarrassed.
Many people also had injuries.
Blood continued to drip from the wound to the ground, staining the dirt red.
"Prince Dahao, are you guys?"
Xiongwu Howl Sun had a cruel smile on his face, and said loudly: "There are a total of eight thousand captives here, all of whom are your Dahao's people. If you like, we can always escort tens of thousands more captives from behind. Ha ha. Prince Dahao, what are you going to do?
The fourteenth prince looked gloomy and shouted: "If you have the ability, you will lead the army to let your horses come over and fight us to the death." What kind of warrior are you taking ordinary people hostage?"
Xiongwu roared and laughed: "NaΓ―ve, naΓ―ve. Prince Dahao, are you hunting wolves in the original group? Although wild wolves have sharp teeth and claws, they never fight hard with their prey. As long as they can catch their prey, as long as there is meat to eat, the wolves can use any means. Because only by surviving is the real victory. β
"Hey, I see. β
The Fourteenth Prince nodded and said slowly: "Majestic Howling Day, appearance, I thought it was a majestic lion. But at the end of the day, you're just a wolf that grabs carrion. Well, very well. However, with this kind of indiscriminate means, you want us to give in and surrender? β
"So, you're not willing to save people?"
Xiongwu smiled gloomily, turned around, and shouted: "You all heard it, right? It's not that we don't give you a way to live, it's that your prince of Dahao refuses to save your life." In the future, I will go down to Yin Si Huangquan, remember who is the one who really killed you, haha, hahaha~~"
"Prince, His Royal Highness, save us, we don't want to die!"
With a cry of grief, the countless captives knelt down one after another, crying and grabbing the ground, crying and begging for help.
At the head of the city, Yan Fulong and Wang Xuan, as well as other soldiers, all gritted their teeth and their eyes were cracked.
The fourteenth prince clenched his fists tightly, and his whole body continued to tremble slightly, looking extremely angry.
Among them, only He Wuji was born in a family of generals, and he has followed his father to guard the Great Wall of Rock for many years.
Although He Wuji was also very angry when he saw the fierce ancient barbarians taking the common people hostage, he was not stunned by this.
Seeing that the prince was emotional, he hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, the overall situation is important, don't act rashly." β
The Fourteenth Prince asked in a deep voice: "The overall situation, what is the overall situation?"
He Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Your Highness, as a prince, has a noble status, which is the overall situation. In Qinghe Water City, more than 10,000 soldiers and thousands of civilians are also the overall situation. A little farther away, the safety of northern Xinjiang is the overall situation. Compared to the big picture, the lives of these thousands of civilians ...... Your Highness, no matter what, you can't lose a big one because of a small one. β
The Fourteenth Prince took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "I am the people of Dahao, and they are also the people of Dahao. If we have the same identity, how can we tell who is in the overall situation and who is in the small situation? Isn't the reason why our army has been fighting so far for the sake of the common people in northern Xinjiang? Now these ordinary people are in front of them, but they want to die and not save them? So, what is the meaning of our existence?"
Yan Fulong praised loudly: "Your Highness said it well. What a big picture, it's just nonsense. Human life is human life, is it possible that the lives of 10,000 people are more important than 8,000 people? So for the sake of 100,000 people, for the sake of 10,000 people, can 10,000 lives be sacrificed at will? If we continue to count them in this way, the result will be ridiculous. β
"Brother Yan, you are a layman's speech at all. β
He Wuji didn't dare to refute the Fourteenth Prince, but for Yan Fulong, of course, there was no need to scruple.
He retorted loudly: "On the battlefield, soldiers can kill, civilians can only be killed." One more soldier, one more enemy, one more civilian. So, of course, soldiers are more valuable than civilians. If you blindly follow the kindness of a woman, in the end, no one can save you, but you will lose your own life. Now we civilians are pitiful, but if we all die, who will pity us?"
He Wuji's sentence was reasonable, and Yan Fulong couldn't refute it.
He couldn't help but clench his fists, smacked the battlements, and shouted, "So...... Are we going to see thousands of civilians die?"
"Yes, that's all we can do now. β
He Wuji stared at the fierce ancient barbarian outside the city, gritted his teeth and said, "It is really the best strategy to act rashly. At most, when the fierce ancient barbarians attack the city again in the future, let's kill a few more barbarians and avenge these victims. β
"Nope. Can't wait for later. β
The fourteenth prince said categorically: "As the prince of Dahao, this king is even more subject to the holy decree of the imperial court to come to the north to drive the barbarians and protect the people. If the people are suffering before the king, how can they remain indifferent and watch from the sidelines? β
He Wuji was taken aback, and hurriedly admonished: "Your Highness, you must not! The fierce ancient barbarian is despicable and shameless, and he never keeps his promise. Even if we surrender in Kaicheng, the fierce ancient barbarians will never let go of these ordinary people. It's just a waste of death, it's worthless. β
Above the city, the dispute is undecided.
The majestic warrior under the city snorted, and laughed loudly again: "How about it, have you thought about it?" Prince Dahao, if you don't open the city and surrender, there are thousands of ordinary people here, but they all want their heads to fall to the ground." β
