Chapter 563: Holy Religion
The capital of Satsuma is Sattilah.
The Satsuma people who fled from the city rushed out of the city gates with their families and mouths, and fled in a hurry.
The once prosperous city has become lifeless after experiencing the abuse of foreign troops, and now the whole city, the soldiers under the command of the fierce Grand Duke of O'Reyin are like defeated dogs, fleeing the city in embarrassment, and the people in the city still don't understand, and there are even more terrifying armies crushing this side.
On the wasteland outside the city, an array of Mongol cavalry stretched out in three directions, east, south, and north, and surrounded Sattila for nearly four days.
As for the fleeing Satsuma, they were too lazy to pay attention, and occasionally sent only a few scout squads to drive them away, shooting them with bows and arrows for fun.
The rest of them all looked at the open city gates, and the countless cities that had been conquered from east to west had never surprised him as much as he did today.
"The barbarians of this world will also play empty city schemes? Or is there really an ambush inside......"
In the screaming screams, the woman squatted on the ground with the child in her arms, and the old man squeezed against the wall, and then fell, trampled on the body by the chaotic feet one by one, trampled on the broken bones, and could only wail on the ground.
The wielded scimitar slashed at the crowded crowd, and the running war horse crashed into the crowd according to the crowd, and the crowded figures let out a terrible scream, and rolled to the ground under the impact of the war horse, and then rolled under the iron hooves that stepped away, and stepped on it to pieces.
The capital of the Satsuma people has experienced two upheavals, and this time it has finally become a dead city.
Hearing the words conveyed, Su Butai nodded his head, obviously Su Chen's trust made him feel comfortable.
As he spoke, he took out a feathered arrow from the quiver hanging on the side of the saddle, and asked him to send the commander to carry this arrow used by the Son of Heaven and deliver it to Subutai.
It's just a few feet away from the city gates!
There are also narrow alleys, where many Satsuma people gather, and dozens of strong Satsuma men carry knives and rudimentary wooden spears, and set up some clay pots and wooden railings in the middle of the road to form a simple defense.
Inside, there are many female priestesses dancing around a stone altar, kneeling down from time to time to worship, giving O'Lai a mysterious sense of ritual.
A sacrificial instrument unique to the West, played, guarded by white, loose-fitting papal soldiers with hoods.
The man who came on horseback was none other than Orein, who had been running for several days and finally arrived at the city of Maiti, and under the guidance of the soldiers in the city, he only took a few personal guards, as well as the great swordsman from the previous five hundred swordsman battalion, to the direction of the altar.
The horses galloping through the streets rushed from behind, and the Mongol cavalry above reached out their scimitars and slashed them at the backs of the fleeing men, and the horses stepped over the corpses.
Satira is the largest city in the western plateau, where tens of thousands of Satsuma people have lived for generations.
The wind on the plateau was whistling, rolling the big wind on his body, and when the red army of Tanma over there finished the formation, he raised his hand on horseback, and the trumpet sounded, and the two thousand cavalry jumped on their horses and raised their swords,
More than a dozen horsemen came from nearby, and they took the spears hanging on the side of their horses, turned over and dismounted, and pushed with their companions into the interior.
"Emperor of the East!"
The army from the east slaughtered all the way, whether it was the Satsuma people or the foreign peoples, almost all of them were on the list of slaughter.
The next moment, the two sides instantly pulled to zero distance.
But there were so many people that at this moment, there were still more than 20,000 people who had not had time to leave.
If there really is, it is to plunder the land for the people of the Xia Kingdom, find the national teacher Zhang Jiao, and then slaughter the entire West.
Then, the Mongol cavalry slammed its blades.
Keenly grasping this, he quickly took a few steps forward and raised his hand: "Kill into this city of mud pills, when the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Son of Xia Kingdom come, behead all the Satsuma people in the city!" ”
I saw that Wanfu Chang Su Butai accompanied a group of tall figures coming from a distance, and the armor soldiers who opened the way quickly lined up around and guarded this place.
Great chaos spread through the city, and as the Mongol army wandered into the city, the entire city was overturned in the twilight of the sky.
Su Chen walked through the quiet corridor with Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and other generals, looking at the surrounding murals and reliefs, "They don't know, without a strong army, they can't hold such wealth?" ”
What followed was a horrific killing feast.
And the nobles who resisted, who were not so lucky, were almost stripped of their robes, tied to the back of their horses, and dragged through the streets by the Mongol cavalry, until at last only a stump remained......
The front row of the Tanma Red Army held spears or brandished scimitars, and roared with the sound of charging into battle, so as to dispel the anxiety in their hearts.
Heavy footsteps could be heard outside.
The action of wiping his neck was also seen by this noble old man of Satsuma, and while he was stunned for a moment, he heard a bang, like the sound of something coming out of the sheath, and his head was held down from behind, and in the afterglow, a blade was wiped on his neck.
and the iron pieces of armor on the bodies of these figures, making a soft sound of friction as they walked.
Looking at the galloping horse in the distance, Su Chen exhaled and shook his spirits, "Order the front army, speed up the footsteps, and set up camp outside Sattila City before dark!" ”
"Li Chaofu told me how powerful and prosperous this country used to be, located in the east and west, absorbing many cultures and religions on both sides, but what I saw was ...... It is a rich country that enjoys comfort and forgets the dangers of war. ”
At this time, Sattila was burning with raging flames, reflecting the shadows of the people on the street running and screaming in panic.
The Satsuma nobleman, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his gaze, and the figure in dark armor was guarded and walked over, and there was a 'buzzing' sound in his ears.
The streets were full of soldiers of Holy Lothar patrolling, and on this day a team came from outside the city, and the soldiers defending the city saw the figure coming on horseback and quickly met it.
"I see."
The sound of trumpets resounded in the field outside the three gates of Sattila, and a large number of cavalry no longer had any scruples, and swarmed into the city gates.
"Hmph, along the way, a certain family found that these barbarian countries in the west really like statues, but they just want to look good!"
"Send a battalion to explore the horse red army and enter the city!"
"I want to meet Holy Lothar!"
The Satsuma inside were not soldiers, and could return fire twice at first, but as someone was stabbed to death, the entire rudimentary line of defense collapsed.
The approaching Mongol cavalry frantically stabbed the spear in his hand forward, and blood splattered in an instant in the crowd of pushers.
Most of the shops in the city are closed, and the Satsuma people in the city are hiding in their homes, afraid to go out into the streets.
The Mongol cavalryman looked back at the unrecognizable corpse trampled by iron hooves, his eyes were fierce, with a smug smile on his face, and shouted a few times in all directions, and several nearby Mongol cavalry "drove" and came over to meet him with a soft shout, and continued the killing in the next place.
"Why do you want to kill the Satsuma, we are also victims, the Satsuma people have always traded with the Western Regions of the East, and I even learned the Liang dialect of the East!"
The vast advance of more than 100,000 troops must be coordinated and advanced in front and back, left and right, and the speed of the army will be much slower.
"Put the car down, this section of the road is ready to go."
Although Lu Bu likes luxury, he also has to be luxurious to the point, he looked at these pompous sculptures and scoffed, "Our soldiers died in battle to carve their names into the monument." But they like to engrave something inexplicable, who will die if this country does not die?! ”
A Satsuma nobleman knelt there, looking at the collapsed statue and weeping bitterly, the reason why he did not die was because he was scolding this group of Mongolian cavalry in the Liang dialect of the year.
Burst!
Blood arrows erupted from the old man's torn neck and spilled onto the broken sculpture, creating an arc.
After the raiding and occupation of Olein, there were still a large number of civilians here, even though some had already poured out of the city a few days earlier when Olein's army had left.
In November, the weather began to cool, and the Satsuma Plateau went west, and it began to rain in winter, and the castle of Satsumi named Maiti was immersed in the water vapor after the rain.
"You demons!"
O'Ran walked through the crowd of worshippers, approached a familiar figure, bowed his head in front of him, and whispered.
Su Chen glanced at it, then retracted his gaze, led a group of generals to continue walking, and walked into the palace of the Satsuma people, before leaving, Wu Zixun turned around and made a neck wiping motion towards several Mongolian cavalrymen guarding the old man.
You know, after coming here, I learned that Mongolia's reputation was not good in China, after all, slaughtering cities and killing people was commonplace, and it was completely tyrannical, which made people at that time afraid.
The latter sat on the four-wheeled vehicle, looked at the Son of Heaven with a stunned expression, and immediately smiled and waved a feather fan: "It's Zilong and Wennuo that they have used, and Liang has the main force of the Shu army at that time, but he has no chance to use the empty city plan." ”
Faced with the open gates of the city, Subutai was still cautious, and immediately drew a cavalry to the southern gate of Sattila.
Then he went straight into the city.
It is probably the coming of the Son of Heaven, and there must be a maid to serve.
Arrows whizzed and landed in the chest of a strong Satsuma man in front of him, and the Mongol cavalryman put his index finger and thumb in his mouth and whistled.
Seeing the content of the intelligence, Su Chen was almost the same as Su Butai, and his first reaction was that the Western barbarians of this world played an empty city plan, and couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang, who was there with the old god over there.
The city was lifeless, but as you went to the Lord's Palace, the streets over there were rarely lively.
Immediately, he was kicked to his knees by the Mongolian cavalry next to him, he gritted his teeth and glared at the soldier angrily, and looked at Su Chen again.
Now that you can be trusted, there is nothing to ask for in Subutai.
"You have received your retribution!"
"Then the prime minister thinks, but Ling Butai led the army into the city?" Su Chen turned his head and looked at the four-wheeled bicycle that was put down by Lux and Zhuge Liang who was sitting on it.
"This is the ancestor of the Satsuma people, the great Saratila!"
The dozens of Mongolian cavalry on this side glanced back, beckoned the companion who wanted to pee to get on his horse and retreat to the side.
Su Chen glanced at the old man of Satsuma who was grinning and screaming, and he didn't bother to listen to these words that didn't have any nutrition, since he had killed him, he hadn't thought of any reason.
It was getting dark, and in front of the ancient castle, the statue of the founding emperor of Satsuma, which had once stood, had been pulled down by the Mongol cavalry with ropes, and it broke into several pieces on the ground with a bang.
However, he was answered by the ridicule of the Mongol cavalry around him, and some soldiers even rolled over and dismounted, unbuckled their belts, took off their pants, and were about to urinate on this nobleman's body.
Su Chen nodded, and on the back of the slowly marching war horse, he summoned Wu Zixun, "Quickly hand over my order arrow to Subutai, and tell him that he can be in charge of the former military reasons, and he doesn't have to ask about everything, so that the cavalry will delay the fighter plane." ”
After traveling more than 70 miles, the commander sent out had already arrived at Sattila at dusk in the afternoon with the arrow of the Son of Heaven, and handed it over to Subutai with his own hands.
"The people are like a herd of beasts, knowing how to avoid disasters, obviously the barbarian army in the city heard that their city was slaughtered, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they evacuated first, and the people in the city naturally panicked like a herd of beasts, and fled away from the city."
That afternoon, the nobles, who had not squeezed out of the city and were reluctant to pay for gold and silver, ran desperately to their homes, but soon after, the cavalry from outside the city flooded in, scimitars, bows and arrows, and the fierce, hideous smiles of the group.
There was hardly any army in the city to resist, and the Satsuma who had fled home knelt in front of the shrine, trembling and praying, while the nobles who were reluctant to leave their homes either hid in cellars or organized their servants and slaves to resist, and often before long, the Mongol cavalry that swarmed throughout the mansion set fire, and everyone was burned to death.
I saw that under the bright sky, two thousand Tanma Red Army rushed towards the crowded city gate with apprehension, and the Satsuma people at the city gate saw the rushing war horses, and immediately panicked, pushing each other and crowding in the chaos.
However, when the cavalry who had just passed suddenly turned back and turned their heads to look into the alley, the Satsuma people inside finally could not suppress the fear in their hearts, and finally could not help but scream and cry at the moment when the other party turned their horses' heads and drew their bows and arrows.
The Mongolian cavalry was formerly a Xijon person, and they had heard the local dialect of the Liang State next to it, and even some people could understand it, even if this old Satsuma nobleman spoke awkwardly.
The whole of Sattila was completely entangled in the battle of this twilight, and the slaughter spread throughout the city before dark.
The women of the court were brutally torn open by the Mongol cavalry and dragged into the grass or a certain room, but they were not killed in the end, but slowly got up to the laughter of the Mongol cavalry, put on their clothes mixed with dust, and were carried outside the castle to wait for the death.
As the commander of one side, but with the Son of Heaven by his side, he couldn't give orders at any time like back then, so he sent scouts to ride fast horses to the east, looking for the main force that was advancing westward, and the scouts reported it, walked to the middle of the march, and handed over the news layer by layer, and after a few hands, it arrived in front of Su Chen.
Occasionally, the sound of horses' hooves passed by the mouth of the alley, so frightened that the men, women and children inside did not dare to exhale, and several women in the crowd covered their mouths, and the other hand held the children to look at the Mongolian cavalry running by outside, shivering, sweat beads penetrated the linen woven dress.
Suddenly, an awkward Liang Guo's words sounded, and Su Chen, who was talking to the generals, stopped and looked out of the corridor, where an old man with a lot of temperament got up from the ground, his hair was scattered, and his face was full of blood and glared at Su Chen.
The notoriety of the Eastern army spread westward, and by this time it had reached the point where children stopped crying.
The crane fan fell and patted the wrestler holding the four-wheeled bicycle below.
In the distance, Satsuma Palace.
"You have brought calamity, Olein."
The man was tall, with his hood removed, revealing a dark, pious face.
