Chapter 223: One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither

"This Giggs is really a complete hypocrite~ Originally, I thought that this summer weather would be a good way to block the progress of filling the moat, but I didn't expect him to directly arrest a large number of civilians. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"He's going to fill the moat in one go~ Pass the order, shoot me hard when the enemy fills the moat in the coming day, since the moat is irretrievable, then kill more civilians who transport land, so that Giggs's reputation among the people will be greatly reduced. ”

The Viscount of Ceylon on the city of Petan leaned on the bulge on the city wall, looked at the civilians who were digging under the many soldiers from a distance, and said very calmly.

"So, my lord, can't we stop them?"

An officer's voice made everyone around him look at him strangely.

After looking at the officer's face for a while, the Viscount of Ceylon slowly spoke, "I can stop it, but everything I did before will become useless, and the army that goes out to stop it will also be ruthlessly killed." ”

"I know what you young officers think, but why can't you think about the victory of the opposing army?

"Remember, the one who treats others as fools is the biggest fool himself, and if you think of stopping them, won't they have anything to do to prevent them?"

"Just read more books if you have nothing to do, war is not just about carrying weapons and rushing to kill, that's what only gangsters on the street can do. ”

Ignoring the officer, whose face was flushed, the Viscount of Ceylon flicked his sleeves and walked down the tower, after all, he had only come to the city wall today because his men had reported that there were many more people in the camp of Giggs, and he had decided to come and see it for himself.

But it's only a look, the strategy he specified will not change, at this time his only chance to win is to use the advantage of the city defense to inflict heavy damage on Giggs's army, if he can seize the opportunity to capture Giggs in one fell swoop, then the situation of the entire Whispering Forest will be reversed.

As for the officer just now, he will not punish him, after all, the next battle will depend on the people in these armies, even if most of them are the kind of guys who have no brains and can't get on the stage in the eyes of the Viscount of Ceylon.

And a week later, after receiving news from his men again about the increase in the number of civilians on the other side, the Viscount of Ceylon simply nodded his head to indicate that he knew, and did not watch it in person as before, and did not seem to pay attention to it.

The Viscount of Ceylon, who lived his aristocratic life every day, muttered after the sky was overcast again one day, "It's finally here~"

Knowing clearly that Giggs wants to make a big move, then he definitely won't want to stop the operation because of the weather in the middle, then he must have to wait for a long rainy day, and after the accumulated clouds in the sky are exhausted, it will be the time for Giggs to really attack.

And the precursor of this heavy rain is naturally a message to the heads of the two sides that this battle is about to take substantive action.

......

Early in the morning after the rain had passed, Tom and the other civilians who lived with him in the humble camp were woken up by the soldiers of the garrison, who lined up honestly under the supervision of many soldiers, taking a bowl of gruel with a bowl.

Half a bowl of rice, half a bowl of water, this is the daily breakfast of these civilians, but fortunately the food seems to be abundant at the moment, so the breakfast that Giggs asked to prepare for these people may even be more satisfying than the breakfast that some people have at home.

After the heavy rain, this humble camp naturally had a leak, and some of the frail civilians simply fell ill, but as long as they did not die, they still had to endure the discomfort in front of these serious-looking soldiers to carry out their work.

If they accidentally fell ill and died, it would be easier for the soldiers in charge of guarding them to order the surrounding people to carry the corpses away from the camp and light a fire to avoid a possible plague.

The civilians who had previously been grateful to Dade for Giggs's relief food finally knew that the king was not only merciful, but also cruel.

It was only as time went by that Tom noticed that something seemed wrong today, and that they had usually gone straight to the excavation site to work, but today half of them had each received a bag of sand and waited.

And unfortunately, Tom is the one who leads the sand~

Tom saw that the troops who had captured them were already in armour, arrayed, and ready for battle, and his heart chuckled as an officer of what seemed to be a higher rank galloped towards them on a unicorn.

"Each person carries three bags of sand and pours them into the moat, and if there is no finisher, kill!"

The crowd burst into an uproar. However, as soon as there was a commotion, the surrounding garrison soldiers immediately drew their waist knives, making the crowd instantly quiet.

"This is an order, if it is not completed, use your own body to fill the moat!"

The general, who had the wing commander logo pinned to his collar, turned his head and ran towards the main formation, and ten minutes later, the horn of the army sounded in the military formation.

With the pressure of the garrison, the civilians also stubbornly carried the sand bags and rushed towards the moat, seeing this, the Viscount of Ceylon also waved his hand lightly at the head of the city of Petan.

Arrows rained down suddenly, and these civilians naturally had no trained soldiers to assist them in raising their shields, and as dozens of civilians with arrows fell, the momentum of the civilians' advance was immediately stopped, and some even turned their heads and ran back.

For such a guy, the soldiers who specialize in serving as law enforcement teams will naturally not be soft-handed, step and swing their knives, and a head is thrown high.

"Those who don't complete the task will be killed if they retreat!"

Seeing this, Tom, who was in the crowd, stopped in an instant when he wanted to follow the footsteps of those who were fleeing, gritted his teeth and raised the sandbag to block his head, and took advantage of the gap on the city head that had just finished shooting, and ran towards the moat at high speed.

Half-squatting, just like when he was hunting, while paying attention to the situation on the city, his hand quickly loosened the mouth of the bag he was holding, and the sand and soil immediately poured into the moat, splashing a few splashes.

After taking a breath of relief, noticing that the arrows on the top of the city were flying down again, Tom quickly half-knelt on the ground and ran towards the rear, paying attention to the approximate landing point of the arrows in the sky from time to time, and when he successfully returned to the previous meeting place, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

However, at the signal of the soldiers around him, Tom had to carry a bag of sand again, grasp the bamboo stick handed by an officer in charge of statistics, and continue to trot towards the moat.

And Giggs, who was riding a unicorn at the front of the military formation, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he watched bags of sand and soil poured into the moat, as for the corpses of civilians who fell to the ground, they were naturally ignored by Giggs~

Once the success is achieved, the victory of the war cannot be without sacrifice! )
