Chapter 497: Son of Man in vain
"It's dead! it's all dead......" Lu Li raised his eyes and looked around, his face full of sorrow.
The corpses in one place, a thick layer, are basically human, and the nearly 30,000 cavalry that originally followed behind them are less than 10,000 left, surrounded by mutants, and people continue to fall from their horses and die.
The Shanzi Battalion led by Qiao Shan and others had more than 70,000 people at the beginning, but now there are only more than 30,000 left, and the rest have all died in the siege of mutants.
Farther away, the more than one million troops led by Duanmu Lie, Cui Yixun, Cui Nan and others in the Scarlet War Court were divided and surrounded one by one, and there were only three or four hundred thousand people left.
In this battle, the human race killed three-quarters of the army of more than one million, and more than one million lives were lost to Huangquan......
Lu Li's eyes were red, he looked up and roared, and tears rained down. Although I had expected this to be the result, when everything really happened in front of my eyes, my heart was like a colic.
These are more than a million living people, and they are all blood soul warriors, the last pillar of humanity, and it turns out that it is gone. Lu Li couldn't help but ask himself: Am I wrong? From the beginning, we should not have beaten the drum to gather troops, we should not have been reckless from the beginning, and we should not have encouraged them to launch a decisive charge at all...... Then there will always be some people who will escape.
Can ...... now An army of more than a million humans will all be buried here, and in this case, no one will survive, all will die at the hands of mutants.
Then boundless anger surged in his heart, his eyes looked in the direction of the old capital, and he hissed and roared: "Ah...... You are in vain as sons of men!"
Seeing millions of comrades-in-arms being slaughtered, he was indifferent, and he had no intention of rescuing. How cruel, how cold-blooded, really in vain as a son of man!
Yes, mutants have more troops than humans, but that doesn't mean there really isn't a chance of victory. If the two or three million human armies in the ancient capital come out together, it will inevitably have an impact on the mutants, and there is even the possibility of a Jedi counterattack.
But now, the nearly three million elite human armies led by the major blood soul clans are cowering in the old capital, stunned by the fact that there are only more than three million mutants, unable to move, watching the lives of their compatriots, siblings, comrades-in-arms and comrades-in-arms fall into the sky......
Lu Li's sentence "in vain as a son of man" came out with indignation, covering the wilderness, clearly penetrating the ears of everyone in the old capital.
Shame, grief, and shamelessness are the first reactions of the vast majority of people. They stood at the head of the city and witnessed the bloody battle of their comrades outside the city from beginning to end. From more than one million people, there are only three or four hundred thousand people left, and the remaining more than one million people have all died in the siege of mutants.
This pain goes straight to the bone marrow, this hatred is endless, and at the same time, it is even more ashamed of itself!
"Overseer, give the order, kill the old capital!"
"Ancestor, rush out of the city and fight with the mutants!"
"They are our comrades-in-arms, how can they be indifferent!"
"I can't stand this kind of torture, let's kill it, die or die, it's better than dying in this nest!"
“......”
Lu Li scolded angrily, making countless people's eyes red and asking for battle. Even some of the core children of the Blood Soul Clan are also advocating to fight to the death against the mutants.
In the end, they were rejected by the heads of the various regiments. In the face of the increasingly agitated subordinates, they racked their brains to pacify.
I was also very helpless, but this matter is not something they can decide, and the people who can be the masters are there.
"How long are we going to sit idly by! Are we really watching all our siblings outside the city die in front of our eyes?" Ling Wansheng said sadly.
This is the south tower of the ancient capital city wall, condescending, and the tragic battles outside the city can be seen at a glance. Now it has become the temporary headquarters of the human race in the old capital, and all the town-level ancestors of the Blood Soul Clan, as well as those in power, have gathered here.
"At this time, we can't act rashly!" said a town-level ancestor, who was none other than the Hu family in Xiangzhong.
"Yes, now we must preserve our strength! These two million troops are the last main force of our human race, and we must not suffer any more losses. Feng Jing detoured.
"yes, that's my last hope for humanity. "This is Tan Rulin.
"Hehe, then you just watched more than a million people outside the city being slaughtered?" Ling Wansheng tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Alas, there is no way around it, for the great cause of mankind, someone must sacrifice. Hu Santong sighed.
"Hehe, don't you die and don't die, why don't you Hu family make sacrifices for the human race?" This is Huo Ying of the Forbidden Nine Group.
"If our Hu family is outside the city, we will naturally sacrifice for mankind without hesitation!" Hu Santong said in righteous words, but everyone understands that this is only if.
"What Ancestor Hu said is that we must start from the overall situation of mankind and preserve the last bit of fire for mankind. "Mu Huaping also appeared in the city tower with Mu Xiao, the ancestor of the Mu family, as a person in charge of a big force, but after all, he was only in the middle of the second realm, and he was very careful when he spoke.
"Hmph, I think it's a communiqué personal vendetta at all, and some people can't wait to get rid of Lu Li with the help of mutants!" Ling Wansheng finally couldn't help but say loudly.
This sentence suddenly made some people jump like thunder, just like the secret in his heart that could not be seen was suddenly exposed in public, Mu Xiao stood up with a "poof": "Ling Wansheng, what do you mean!"
"Hehe, I think some people are reluctant to let their daughter's lover die for a high-sounding reason, right?" Another voice sounded that was neither yin nor yang, but it was Yang Haoming, the head of the Yang family of Baizhutang.
Ling Wansheng was furious, and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Okay, let's not say a word, now the top priority is to discuss what to do next. "It's Li Qingyao, the town-level ancestor of the Li family in Datong Mansion.
"Whether to fight or defend, you have to make a choice. Zhu Chengxiao also spoke up.
"Needless to say, it is naturally a war! Support the army outside the city, and staying in this city will be a dead end sooner or later!" Huo Ying of the Forbidden Nine Group said.
"It's still the safest to defend, at least it can attract the main force of mutants to stay under the old capital, and indirectly reduce the pressure on humans. Even if the mutants really attack the city, we will have nearly three million defenders, which is not much less than them, and we will definitely give them a fatal blow!" Mu Huaping, who had received the signal from the old ancestor Mu Xiao, objected, there was no doubt that their Mu family wanted Lu Li to die outside the city the most.
"Hmph, you expect the mutants to attack the city, they just need to besiege but not attack, we will all starve to death!" Ling Wansheng replied, with an army of nearly three million, there were no supplies in the city, and they couldn't hold out for a few days at all.
As soon as Ling Wansheng's words came out, many people, including Li Qingyao and Zhu Chengxiao, looked a little strange.
"Hehe, don't worry about supplies, we found several huge granaries in the city, and it will be no problem to support them for a year and a half. Hu Santong said with a smile.
Is the granary enough to support an army of three million for a year and a half? Ling Wansheng, Huo Fan, Huo Ying, and the others were stunned, obviously just knowing the news. And looking at the looks of most of the other people, they obviously knew it a long time ago, only they were kept in the dark.
No wonder they are all so calm, it turns out that their worries have been solved a long time ago...... Hmmm? No!(To be continued.) )
