Chapter 379: Cannon Fodder
"Kill !!"
As cannon fodder, the Han soldiers struggled to put the ladder on the fortifications.
The archers of the Han Wanhu soldiers and the Mengyuan soldiers knelt on one knee and shot arrows towards the fortifications.
"Whoosh !!!"
"Ahh Yes!!! ”
The archers of Wu Nian's army and civilians fell down one after another, but every time an archer fell, some reservists pounced, picked up bows and arrows, climbed to a foothold, and continued to bend their bows and shoot arrows.
"Kill !!!"
The soldier in iron armor with a spear in his hand, seeing the opportunity, suddenly exerted his arms, and stabbed the Han soldiers who were about to climb the ladder with a spear.
"Touching !!"
The sharp spear could not break the armor, but the huge strength was able to push out the soldiers of the Han people and thousands of households, and they fell heavily to the ground.
The perimeter fence of the fortifications was not high, but it was also two meters long. Falling from above, but it is also uncomfortable, with serious injuries and deaths.
"Kill !!!" Although the fate of their companions made the scalps of the soldiers of the Han people tremble with fear, they still had to take up arms and continue to march towards the fortifications.
"Kill !!"
Of course, Wu Nian's army and civilians also fought back, and the two sides fought a bloody battle up and down the fence, which was only two meters high. A famous Han soldier of Wanhu fell, and one by one the men and women of the Wu Nian army and civilians fell.
All those who fell were Han Chinese.
The Mengyuan soldiers stood not far away, as a reserve, ready to go, and watched coldly.
Although the equipment of the Mengyuan soldiers and the Han soldiers is almost identical, it can still be judged from the accent.
"Wu" under the banner of the word. Wu Nian's face was expressionless, but his left hand was slightly stronger, clutching the hilt of the knife at his waist. Wang Gui's face was unusually ugly.
Wu Nian turned his head to Wang Gui and said, "What about the captives? Find a few captives to come up and see what will happen to them if they give their lives to the Meng Yuan people. ”
"Yes." Wang Gui turned his head, looking embarrassed. After answering, he strode off the wooden platform.
Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it.
Hate its glory and glory.
Wu Nian has very complicated feelings for these soldiers of Han people. The First Battle of Chongxian. Under the leadership of Jiang Gandang, the Han soldiers of Wanhu launched a head-on attack on him, resulting in heavy losses for him.
He killed Jiang Dangdang to vent his anger with the whole family, and beheaded all the centurions and tens. I thought it could be terrifying.
Unexpectedly, the result was still the same.
These Han people.
It can infuriate people.
Wu Nian exhaled and shook his head.
"Da Da Da!" Wang Gui walked up the steps with a group of ten people, ropes and bound captives.
These captives were pale and frightened, and from time to time they secretly looked up at Wu Nian, and then quickly lowered their heads, very cringe.
Wang Gui hugged Wu Nian's fist and led the group of captives to stand aside. The captives were at a loss and looked around. Seeing that Meng Yuanjun was frantically attacking the four fortifications, he couldn't help but turn even paler.
It doesn't matter if they're captives or not.
According to the Mengyuan people's hatred of Wu Nian, if Wu Nian fails, they will probably be slaughtered cleanly.
"I'm looking for you. It's not for you to take up arms against the Mengyuan people. You are people who have no spirit, only flesh, and are greedy for life and afraid of death. You don't deserve it, you're only going to make us more scrambling. ”
Wu Nian's eyes were like blades, grazing over the captives. They quickly lowered their heads, bent over and hunched over, as if they were second-class people, cowering.
Wu Nian had a black line on his head, took a deep breath, and then suppressed the evil fire in his heart and said, "I just let you see what will happen to you for the Meng Yuan people." You should be able to hear and see that Meng Yuan is using the soldiers of the Han people as cannon fodder, right? ”
The captives were stunned for a moment, then quickly raised their heads and took a closer look at the two sides of the war. They didn't look in this direction just now, they didn't notice it. But now that I look closely, sure enough.
Aren't those who rushed ahead the soldiers of the Han people?
That's who they were before.
At this moment, the captive's mood and expression were very complicated. There is resentment, there is fear, and there is also a deep sense of powerlessness.
Some clenched their fists, others became numb.
"General Wu. What can we do? Our home and field are in Liaodong. As the Mengyuan people went south, all those who could run ran away. We're the ones who can't run away. ”
"The county order is based on household registration, and strong men are drawn. If we don't join the army, the whole family will die. ”
"What can we do?"
A man in his thirties with a capable figure raised his head both helplessly and angrily, and said to Wu Nian.
The helplessness of the situation, the anger of the Liaodong generals, and the anger of the Chu State.
Oh, yes. What can the people do?
"Hey." Wu Nian sneered and said, "I'm doing something in Beishan Fort. You could have run. Too many people have abandoned their homes and brought their families to me. ”
"When I attack Licheng and Chongxian, you can also lay down your weapons and not contribute to it. But you have raised your arms against me and killed your fellow citizens. ”
"Giving you a chance, you didn't take it. What do you have to be angry and helpless? You're just insensitive. ”
In the end, Wu Nian's tone was extremely stern, and his eyes were wide as if he was an angry bear tiger, and his momentum was soaring.
The man who spoke bowed his head again with the captives, and the timid man trembled.
"It's different now. You have been taken captive by me. The people of Meng Yuan can't figure out if you are dead. I'll take you back to Fort North soon soon. ”
"If you don't want to fight, I'll arrange for you to farm."
"If you want to fight, I'll train you. In one year, you can be trained into a good army. ”
"If you want to escape back, continue to serve as a soldier for the Mengyuan people. Then take a look at the fate of these Han soldiers in front of you. ”
"If I fail. I mean if. The Mengyuan people will lead the soldiers of the Han people to attack Shanhaiguan. ”
"Under that Xiongguan, even if 100,000 people died, it was not unusual. None of you can escape. ”
"Wang Gui. Take them down. After Wu Nian finished the words in his heart in one breath, he didn't want to talk nonsense with these captives anymore, and said in a cold tone.
"Yes." Wang Gui answered and beckoned the captives to go down. And after the captives listened to Wu Nian's words, a monstrous wave was set off in their hearts.
Before that, they were insensitive though. But thinking, who to be a soldier anyway, not a soldier?
If you have money, you can take the food.
But seeing the action mode of the Meng Yuan people this time, coupled with the words that 100,000 people died in Shanhaiguan.
Some of the captives had planned to escape so that they could return to their families. But after listening to Wu Nian's words, everyone gasped and felt cold.
Can this go back? If you go back, you will be sent to death.
Wu Nian shook his head slightly, raised his head again and cast his eyes on the three battlefields, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
