Chapter 176: Massacre

Three days later, the Northern Barbarian soldiers came to the banks of the Yingshui River again, but this time with the Northern Barbarian soldiers were tens of thousands of Daning people, all of whom the Northern Barbarian soldiers had captured from the five counties they had occupied in Yingzhou.

In order to prevent these people from escaping, the Northern Barbarians also tied their hands with ropes and strung them together.

Looking at the countless large number of people coming from across the river, the Flying Dragon Army was talking about it, they really couldn't figure it out, what did the Northern Barbarians do with so many people?

"Brothers, the Northern Barbarians have coerced so many of our Daning people, what do you think they want?" Long Shuai Liu Zhiyuan gathered the think tanks in the camp together to find a countermeasure.

"In my opinion, the Northern Barbarians are ferocious, they must have sent the people to the front of the team, used them as shields, let us throw rats, and then the troops took the opportunity to cross the river." A scribe with a white beard said.

"Mr. Qian's analysis is very reasonable, if the Northern Barbarians really attack like this, then we will be in trouble. Once the Northern Barbarian soldiers cross the Yingshui River and face each other, we will probably not be opponents. A middle-aged man dressed as a military general stood up and said worriedly.

Hearing the conversation between the two people in front of them, everyone present fell silent. If the Northern Barbarians really did this, it would indeed be a difficult choice for the Wyvern Army.

"If you really can't do it...... Let's shoot them together. One civilian official hesitated for a long time, then stood up and whispered.

"But shoot the people, whether we win or lose this battle, the court will hold us responsible!" Another official said.

"Damn, even if we don't make a move, it will be difficult for these people to live, and when the time comes, Long Shuai, you will call yourself sick in the camp, and I will give this order." This time it was the deputy marshal of the Flying Dragon Army who spoke, and his meaning was obvious, he would take this responsibility himself.

"I, Liu Zhiyuan, am I the kind of person who is afraid of responsibility? Sacrificing these tens of thousands of people and protecting my tens of thousands of children in Daning, they can be regarded as worthy of death, and I will bury them when the time comes. Liu Zhiyuan said fiercely, making a final decision on this matter.

The fears of the generals of the Flying Dragon Army finally came true, and the next day, the Northern Barbarians really launched an attack, they drove tens of thousands of Daning people to the front of the army, and escorted them to the banks of the Yingshui River.

Looking at this scene, the eyes of the Wyvern soldiers on the opposite side were red, because they had received an order that if the northern barbarians forcibly crossed the river in this way, they would launch an indiscriminate attack in combat mode, and many civilians would be killed and injured at that time.

The soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army all held the iron bows in their hands, and the trebuchets and crossbows in the rear were also ready, but the accident happened, the Northern Barbarians did not prepare ships, and it seems that there will be no plans to cross the river, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief, who wants to do it to their compatriots?

But in the next moment, all the soldiers of the Wyvern Army were completely furious, and many even had tears in their eyes. They had estimated the cruelty of a million people, but they didn't expect these brutes to be so cruel.

As soon as the people of Daning arrived on the bank of the Yingshui River, the Beiban soldiers behind launched an attack, but the target of these soldiers was not the soldiers of the Feilong Army on the south bank of the Yingshui River, but the tens of thousands of ordinary people standing on the bank of the river.

Closer, these northern barbarian beasts directly stabbed with knives and guns, and countless people were caught off guard, some were directly cut off by a knife, and some were stabbed by spears.

The Beiban soldiers, who were a little farther away, directly attacked the people with arrows and crossbows, and many people were shot, screaming and falling into the Yingshui River.

"Oh my God, these brutes want to fill the Yingshui River with the corpses of our people." At this time, all the soldiers of the Wyvern Army understood the intentions of the Northern Barbarians, and they were a little unconvinced of their eyes.

"Damn, let's kill them and fight them." Some soldiers could no longer control their emotions and cried and rushed to the other side of the river.

Some of the soldiers had just climbed into the boat, only to find that it was no longer possible to cross the river, because the river was already full of people, some of them were corpses, and some were still moaning in pain.

"Hold your ground and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack." Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, wiped the tears on his face and gave the order fiercely.

On the other side of the river, the people of Daning cried and cried, and they fled in all directions to escape, but their hands were tightly tied, how could they escape?

In this way, groups of people were pushed into the Yingshui River, and because the river water was scarce in winter, these corpses could not be washed away by the river, and soon they were piled up like a mountain, and it didn't take too long for a "dike" with corpses to be formed.

The big drums in the rear of the Northern Barbarian army were beating, and these Northern Barbarian soldiers shouted loudly with various weapons in their hands, rushing towards the south bank of the Yingshui River towards the embankment that had been piled up by the people of Daning.

"Fight with them!" The corpses of the common people aroused the anger in the hearts of the soldiers of the Wyvern Army, and when they saw the Northern Barbarians getting closer and closer, they each raised their weapons in their hands and killed these two-legged beasts.

The big drum behind the Flying Dragon Army rang out, and a general wearing silver armor and a red cloak personally beat the big drum, this general was Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, and the evil deeds of the Northern Barbarians ignited the raging anger in his heart, and he chose to use this way to inspire his soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

The Northern Barbarians have lived a nomadic life in the steppe for a long time, they are brave and fierce on weekdays, they are very strong, and they often fight with rich combat experience, and they are the best at this kind of direct encounter.

In this case, the Daning soldiers are generally not the opponents of the Northern Barbarians, which is also the main reason why Daning and the Northern Barbarians are fighting and are often defeated despite their superiority in numbers.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers who successfully rushed to the south bank of the Yingshui River were also very excited at this time, on the frontal battlefield, they didn't pay attention to these weak Daning people at all, and they had already thought of the scene of chopping melons and vegetables in the past battles.

But after the battle between the two sides, these northern barbarians found that these Daning people today are different from the past, and they are extremely brave. Every time the sword strikes, a powerful force bursts out, and in the face of the attacking swords and guns, many people actually choose not to dodge at all, but continue to attack themselves.

The soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army have greatly surprised the expectations of the Northern Barbarians, who have been fighting with Daning for many years, except for the Fierce Eagle Army back then, they have never seen such a deadly way of fighting.

When it comes to the battlefield, sometimes martial arts are no longer the most important, but more importantly, to see who is more ruthless and not afraid of death. And the current soldiers of the Wyvern Army watched tens of thousands of compatriots being killed, hatred had long overwhelmed their reason, and they had only one thought in their hearts, to kill these jackals and avenge their compatriots!

The Northern Barbarian soldiers were completely unprepared for the bravery of the Flying Dragon Army, they had never seen the Daning people use such a fighting style, and after seeing some people around them fall, these guys who took pleasure in killing people were actually frightened by the blood of their companions, and began to retreat.

"Brothers, kill these Northern Barbarian dogs and avenge our compatriots." The generals and officers at all levels in the Flying Dragon Army have also been on the battlefield for many years, and of course they will not let go of such a good opportunity, and they continue to inspire the soldiers with various words, so that they can continue to fight the enemy with high morale.

The Northern Barbarian King Heihan Mugu stood on a high place, looking at the battlefield across the river, the dark brown leather armor of the Northern Barbarian soldiers and the red robes of the Daning Flying Dragon Army were clearly distinguished. The Northern Barbarian soldiers, who are good at encounters on weekdays, actually show signs of being pressed and beaten by the Daning people.

The red wave on the other side of the river was like a rainbow, completely overwhelming the dark brown Northern Barbarian soldiers, and the dark brown flow of people retreated step by step, occupying less and less area on the battlefield.

Heihan Mugu frowned, he had also led his troops to fight with the Daning people many times, this situation was indeed rare, and he finally figured out a way to fill up the Yingshui River, and there was such a situation.

Seeing that his soldiers showed signs of being unstoppable, Heihan Mugu sighed, put down the sledgehammer of the drum in his hand, and gave an order to the herald beside him.

Hearing the horn of the withdrawal of the troops, the Northern Barbarian soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief, they fought too aggrieved in this battle, completely pressed by the other party, the Northern Barbarian soldiers have always been known for their toughness, I didn't expect that there was more desperate than themselves today.

Seeing the Northern Barbarians retreating like a tidal wave, the Wyvern soldiers began to cheer, and they created a myth that in a frontal raid, they actually repelled the Northern Barbarians who were the best at this style of play.

Night soon came, and the battlefield had finally returned to its quiet, and the soldiers of both sides, who had fought hard for a day, were now exhausted to the extreme, and they fell asleep in their respective camps.

At this time, everything was quiet, but the mountain of corpses in the Yingshui River reminded the soldiers on both sides who were still patrolling that this was once a purgatory on earth.

The camps of the commanders on both sides were brightly lit at this time, and both sides were thinking about tomorrow's tactics. Because both sides know that by the time dawn comes, an even more brutal battle is coming.

"Tomorrow's battle is very critical, the middle road is particularly critical, we must not let the northern barbarians break through from this line, when the time comes, I will personally lead the Chinese army to supervise the battle in the rear, if the brothers in front can't stop me, I will go up. The two wings will be handed over to you, and we must not let the opponent's cavalry break through and outflank us......" Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of the Flying Dragon Army, pointed to a combat map and arranged the combat tasks for his generals in detail.

And in the tent of the Northern Barbarian King, Heihan Mugu sat there alone, he quietly looked at the light in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking?

A red glow appeared in the eastern sky, which indicated that a new day was coming, and the range of the red glow was getting larger and larger, and soon a red sun appeared in the sky, it was slowly rising, and the light was getting stronger and stronger.

The soldiers on both sides had already assembled on both sides of the Yingshui River, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses did not make much noise, and they all quietly looked at the enemy opposite. They both knew very well in their hearts that today's battle would definitely be even more fierce until the winner was decided.
