Chapter 15: The Massacre and the Great War
The county guard of Mingyang City looked at the billowing smoke and dust in front of him with a desperate face at this moment, and the iron-blooded army that was supposed to fight to the death with the Qi army under the hegemony appeared outside Mingyang City!
"My lord, it will take two days for reinforcements from Suluo City to arrive. "There's a guard behind you.
"It can't be helped. The county guard gritted his teeth, "Descend!"
Chu Li saw the white flag hanging on the city in front of him in the army, he knew that the other party had surrendered, and he was a little disappointed that he didn't kill it today. But seeing that those veterans were still very excited, Chu Li was a little puzzled.
"Down, we're down. Someone on the tower shouted.
"Now that it has come down, open the gates of the city. "The general's horizontal sword immediately followed the front of the city.
The people on the city wall hesitated, "The general can promise me that if I open the city gate, I will let the people of our city live." ”
"Yes, I promise you. The general nodded.
The people on the city wall were still a little worried, but seeing that the general was already impatient, they had to give an order. "Open the gates!"
At the same time, Jiang Feng, the general of the expedition to the west, waved his halberd and pointed at Mingyang City.
"Slaughter the city!"
More than 200,000 troops rushed into the city, into the welcoming crowd, and into the houses on both sides of the road.
Slaughter!
Screams and shouts of killing filled the entire world at this moment.
Chu Li's face turned pale and looked at these Great Qin soldiers in front of him who were like demons rushing out of hell.
"Do you think that these people are very innocent, and that my soldiers of Great Qin should have killed them all?" Lin Hu said softly on the side.
Chu Li nodded.
"Mingyang City is not like a hegemon, the Qi country has already perished, and it won't take long for the people under the hegemony to become the people of my Great Qin, and the Yan country is still there, if the army of the Yan country comes tomorrow, guess what this Mingyang City looks like." ”
What will happen?
Chu Li could fully imagine that scene, the entire city was full of enemies, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Army would die every moment, some people opened the city gates, some people burned the grain and grass in the barracks, those originally innocent people.
"Besides, our army has run out of food, food, and grass, and needs to be plundered from these people. Again.... Lin Hu pointed to the Great Qin soldiers who were slaughtering frantically, "Some of these people's friends died in the hands of the Yan people, and some of their fathers and brothers died in the hands of the Yan people, who will avenge this blood feud." ”
"If it is my Great Qin's city that encounters the army of Yan State at this time, what difference is this situation and this scene. ”
Chu Li imagined the scene of the crazy Yan Kingdom army pouring into Fu'an City, and shuddered, he definitely couldn't let that kind of thing happen!
This was the first time that Chu Li hoped that Great Qin's army would be invincible.
Maybe it's because of the different mentality, although he was hesitant when he looked at the scene in front of him, he didn't have the heart to stop it.
The general stood alone on the city wall, and he disdained to slaughter the unarmed with his own hands.
"Reporting to the general, we have captured the governor of Mingyang City alive, and learned that reinforcements from the Yan Kingdom will arrive in two days. "A soldier climbed the wall.
The general of Zhengxi snorted coldly, "Blockade the whole city!" ”
The general squinted his eyes as he looked at the blood flowers that bloomed in the city from time to time, he enjoyed the killing, and he also liked this bewitching and brilliant color.
Chu Li and Lin Hu did not burn and loot like those Great Qin soldiers, and the two of them walked in the less populated alleys.
Chu Li looked at the various shops standing on both sides of the road and sighed, "What kind of scene would it be if you were here during the peaceful year?" ”
Before the words fell, Chu Li saw Lin Huqian turn around and grab a long sword that stabbed from behind, and then the big black knife in his hand was raised, and a head fell to the ground.
Only then did Chu Li react and looked at the young corpse on the ground.
Eleven or twelve years old should be a carefree age, and it should be an age when I read private school and hide in the arms of my parents.
Chu Li saw the hatred and resentment in the eyes of that head.
"Brother Lin, why can't you... ”
"Why can't you let him go? I don't know who killed this little ghost's parents or relatives, but it has nothing to do with me, this little ghost wants to kill me, I'll kill him, that's enough. Lin Hu didn't look at the corpse on the ground, and his voice became a little cold, "Or do you mean that I should just stand still and let him kill?"
"I ......" Chu Li was powerless to argue, a year ago he was just a simple boy studying in a private school, looking forward to going to Zhuhai Guoxue to study.
Lin Hu sighed, "Do you know that there was a poisonous baby battle in history, when the Chu State accepted a group of refugees who fled from the Yan State, most of them were women and children, and the Chu State took them in, and three days later the plague broke out, and people knew that the children held by those women were poisoned. ”
"The state of Chu was also devastated because of that plague, but fortunately, the state of Chu at that time was extremely strong, and there were countless strange people, and finally a Langzhong cracked the plague. ”
"Did Yan Guo do it?"
"No one admits it, but if the Chu State hadn't suffered this catastrophe back then, it would have dominated the world long ago. ”
Seeing that Chu Li was silent, Lin Hu continued, "On the battlefield, as long as it is not your comrades, the others are enemies, no matter how old they are, whether they are men or women, they should be killed, if you don't kill them, then you will die." ”
Chu Li nodded, he didn't want to die on the battlefield, he still had to go back to Fu'an City to marry the big shopkeeper of the banquet building that day.
Thinking of Liu Rui'er, Chu Li touched the half of the jade pendant hanging on his chest, it was a feeling that someone was waiting for him to go back alive.
The Great Qin Iron Blood Army entered Mingyang City, burned and looted on the first day, washed away the strong smell of blood on the second day, and buried the piles of corpses into the huge burial pit in the center of the city.
On the third day, when the sun had just risen, Chu Li felt the ground tremble, and then a ten-strong commander, a centurion, gathered their respective soldiers together, signaling them to wait silently at the city gate.
The ten-captain corresponding to Chu Li and Lin Hu was a black-faced man, led the ten people to the city wall, and then made a silent action.
Although Chu Li didn't know what was going on, he could feel the tense atmosphere.
It's going to be war.
"General, you are finally here, and the thief army of Great Qin is twenty miles west of the city. "There was a shout from the walls.
An impatient voice sounded under the city, "Talking so much nonsense, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let me wait to go in and repair." "The army came on a rapid march, and for two days and two nights there was hardly rest, and the army was already exhausted.
"Squeak" The city gate opened, and Chu Li's was at the edge of the city gate, and he saw the army in black armor outside the city.
The army outside the city was not suspicious, and the vanguard soldiers entered the city gate first, step by step, step by step, until Chu Li could even see the patterns on the black armor of the leading soldiers, he could only hear the shouts of the general Zhengxi, "Kill!"
Chu Li rushed out in one step, and before the black-armored soldiers led by him could show a frightened expression on their faces, their heads rolled to the ground.
There are more than 200,000 people who rushed out with Chu Li!
The entire Mingyang City is like a hornet's nest that has been stabbed, from the city gate, on the city wall, endless silver-armored soldiers rushed out.
The generals outside the city were stunned, and he couldn't think about where these Great Qin soldiers came from, "There is an ambush! The whole army retreats!"
Before he could utter a second shout, his head flew high, and a man fell from the city wall, cutting off the head of the enemy general with a sword.
General of the West!
"Kill!" Chu Li rushed to the front, he was already red-eyed, he only knew that all the enemies in front of him were enemies, so he kept rushing forward, slashing and slashing all the time.
Chu Li had the illusion that he had returned to the Tian'an Valley that day, but only he and Lin Hu broke through that day, and today there are more than 200,000 comrades!
The shouting of killing shook the sky!
When the army rushed to kill, and Chu Li gradually had more allies around him, he regained his clarity, and as soon as the magic skill worked a little, a burst of comfort hit, and Chu Li was pleasantly surprised to find that the true qi that had been consumed had become the size of a pea, which was not much worse than when he was in the middle camp of the Iron Blood Army that day.
The battlefield is really a good place, Chu Li said silently, this is just the beginning of so many true qi condensation, he looked at the still endless enemies in front of him, his eyes actually revealed incomparable excitement, like seeing a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
Slash hard! Like the wind!
Chu Li only felt that this hand-splitting man was really specially tailored for the fight on the battlefield, and he saw that the stitches and needles were swimming in the crowd like ghosts, slashing and splitting the enemy's heavy armor, and blowing into the cracks of the armor like the wind, but this wind blew out human lives!
Chu Li didn't know how long he had been rushing, his whole body was covered in blood, his clothes had been soaked, wet and sticking to his body, and the silver armor was also washed more and more dazzling.
Suddenly, a silver light lit up, and Chu Li looked at the center of the battlefield.
The general of Zhengxi took off the red cloak on his body.
It turned out that when the general went out to fight, the silver light could really illuminate half of the sky, Chu Li muttered to himself, and then he was shocked, how many enemies did the general kill!
Just when the silver light lit up, the morale of the entire Iron Blood Army suddenly struck.
"Kill!"
The roar shook the sky.
Those veterans who have not died on the battlefield know that this silver light is their patron saint, and as long as this light is not extinguished, the Predators will not lose!
This battle was fought from dawn to evening, Chu Li was already tired and couldn't raise the steel knife in his hand, although the magic skill could keep his true qi sufficient, but it could not relieve the physical and mental fatigue, he glanced at the still bright silver light, and knew that this battle was about to end, because there were more and more friendly troops around him, and there were fewer and fewer black armor.
Finally, when night was about to fall, the trumpet sounded, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Mingyang City at night was still brightly lit, and the soldiers were sitting around the piles of bonfires, no one wanted to move, and so was Chu Li, who felt that he was too tired to move a finger.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey. ”
"Little Chu Li, are you really okay?" Lin Hu was very helpless, Chu Li had been laughing stupidly for half an hour.
"It's okay, it's okay. Chu Li wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, his true qi mass was already the size of an egg, flowing back and forth in his body with the operation of the exercises, bringing bursts of numbness and sourness.
Chu Li felt that he was now able to run around this Mingyang City with a needle, an indescribable sense of strength and fulfillment.
