Chapter 491: There is no way back
The huge war drums, which were more than two people tall, and with the brackets, they were already more than three people tall, and the sound of the drums clearly reached the ears of every human on the battlefield.
"Tom...... Tong...... Tom ......" drum only saw a gap between breaths, although it was long, but it was rich in a certain rhythm, which was the sound of war drums used to gather troops.
The sound of the war drums of the gathering army gave a shot in the arm of the human millions that were in the midst of the rout, at least it was no longer an aimless rout, and subconsciously began to converge under the mountain where Lu Li was. They know very well that two legs will never be able to outrun the iron cavalry of the mutants, and if they blindly escape, they can only become the souls of the mutant cavalry under the knife in this flat field.
Moreover, where the drums of the battle were sounded, a bright red battle flag was erected, and four five-pointed stars guarded this big five-pointed star, which was their guiding light.
The mutant cavalry in the north is already very close to the old capital, and if you charge with all your strength, you can reach the old capital in a few minutes. It takes ten minutes to catch up with the fleeing human army. But for some reason, at this time, the speed of the charge was suddenly reduced, and it became a slow rein, not much faster than not doing it.
Although it was a slow journey, the impact of the endless cavalry front line did not diminish in the slightest, and was even more shocking.
But at the same time, it also gave the fleeing human army enough time to flee and began to converge on the mountain where Lu Li was. Lu Li was secretly glad in his heart, glad that the mutants did not encircle the city wall according to the old capital five hundred years ago, but only built the city wall in the core location. The length of the north and south is greatly shortened, otherwise it will be difficult for the vast majority of the human army outside the city to run from the south even if they break their legs.
The drums of war that gathered the troops did not stop, and more and more human soldiers gathered under the mountain bag. When the vanguard of the mutant cavalry arrived at the north gate of the city wall, nearly a million people had gathered under the mountain of Lu Li.
Except for those who had diverted their route and fled for their lives, most of the scattered human soldiers had gathered under the mountain. Standing opposite to Lu Li's Shanzi Camp, the distance is only a few tens of meters.
Millions of people, millions of eyes, all focused on Lu Li. Frightened, hopeless, overwhelmed...... Most people don't even understand why they've come here to the beat of the drums of war.
At this time, the mutant cavalry was still moving at a slow pace, slowly advancing forward. Although the speed was slow, the pace of the mounts under him was uniform, and in this way, the mutant cavalry began to slowly outflank the old capital from the north, east, and west.
Although this slow-paced march lacks the overwhelming impact, the power it brings is no weaker than the charge, and even the psychological impact is stronger.
Affected by this, the millions of human soldiers gathered under the mountain began to riot, and fear and despair enveloped everyone's hearts. It was only then that everyone could see the number of mutant cavalry, which was by no means less than one million.
What is the concept of a million cavalry appearing on the battlefield at the same time? And not only cavalry, but also the entire northern sky, under the dense surging black tide, adding up to several times more than one million.
It was clear that the million cavalry was only the vanguard of the mutants, followed by millions of mutant infantry. In terms of numbers alone, mutants are by no means less powerful than humans.
Originally, humans still had the strength to fight, but they fell into the trap set by the mutants, and the end was cut off by the tall city wall, which could not be echoed, and it was impossible to re-form the formation. In the overwhelming cavalry charge of the mutants, they were defeated before they could fight.
As the army of mutants slowly approached, the human army gathered under the mountain pack became more and more commotional, and even many people had begun to think of running away again.
"Five-star battle flag!" Lu Li stretched out his hand and took the bright red battle flag from Zhanpeng's hand. Then with a clamp between his legs, he rode the ground-stepping beast down the mountain bag, and when he reached the middle line, he suddenly turned around and galloped sideways along the army of millions of blood souls.
"Brothers, I can escape, the tens of thousands of cavalry under my command can escape, but you can't!"
"You will never be able to outrun the cavalry of the mutants with two legs, and if you escape, you can only give your back to the machete in the hands of the mutants, and you can only die faster!"
"I can escape, but I won't escape, and the tens of thousands of cavalry under my command won't escape, but I will stay here and fight the mutants to the death!"
Lu Li galloped back and forth, the sound was like a bell, loud and majestic, stirring in the sky above the army of more than a million.
"Because I want to defend the glory in my hands, the glory of this five-star battle flag!"
"Hundreds of years ago, our human ancestors were able to defeat mutants and defend the dignity of human beings, and today we can't coax and lose the face of our ancestors. ”
"I know that death is terrible, everyone is afraid of death, and I am no exception, but whenever there is a glimmer of hope, I want to live. ”
"And now, if you choose to stay, there is only one result, and that is to die in this wilderness. But in the same way, if I run all the way in vain, I will only end up with one death, the death of the nest!"
"Why don't you choose to fight head-on? Die on the battlefield, shroud in horse leather, this is the last vestige of dignity we have......
Lu Li kept galloping back and forth, the five-element battle flag in his hand fluttering high, and the sound of subdued frustration floated in the sky.
"Die well, at least we did our best, did what we should do, and are worthy of this five-star battle flag that has been passed down for hundreds of years!
"Brothers, we have no escape, because there is no way back behind us!"
"Have you ever thought about what is behind us? It is our parents! It is our wife and children! It is our blood relatives! If we flee without a fight, the mutants will surely drive straight in, and then the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and the rivers will change hands, and our parents, wives and children, and all our relatives will become lambs to the slaughter, and they will be ravaged and tortured endlessly......
"As sons of men, fathers, and husbands, we are in vain!"
"Therefore, we have no way to retreat, even if we know that we will die, we will fight to the death! Defend the last glory of our mankind, defend our parents, wives and children, we will die without regrets!"
Lu Li's voice became more and more excited, roaring hard, galloping in front of the army of millions of blood souls of the human race, and by the end he was already exhausted.
The armies on both sides were silent, only the sound of Lu Li's hissing and exhaustion reverberated back and forth. More than a million eyes chased the figure of the landing, leaving the back and forth. The look of horror and despair is fading and is being replaced by a resoluteness.
Lu Li's words hit the pain point in everyone's hearts, who has no parents, who has no wife and children, who has no relatives? Thinking about the consequences of the mutant being driven straight in, a fire is burning in everyone's hearts.
And Lu Li's roar continued...... (To be continued.) )
