"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1219
"My lord, seems to be one of us."
Many of the people who saw the black crowd coming were wearing the uniforms of their patrol battalion soldiers, and the Holy See soldiers guarding the city also looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but put down their arrows aimed at the outside of the city.
"Don't shoot arrows, we are our own people!"
"I am the defender of Las City, don't shoot arrows!"
The captives who were driven by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army to attack the city also shouted loudly when they saw the cold arrows shining on the top of the city.
"My lord, do you want to open the city and rescue them?" An officer guarding the city asked.
Seeing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army driving these captured soldiers towards them, some officers defending the city couldn't bear to attack them.
"They put down their weapons, it is a disgrace to our Holy See! It is not worth our rescue!"
Seeing the captives shouting loudly under the city, the city lord was also full of disgust for their soft bones.
"Besides, have you seen those enemy cavalry who are staring at you? If you open the city to save them, those enemy cavalry will rush into the city quickly, and your heads and mine will fall!"
The city lord is still relatively sober. Although the people outside the city are all former comrades, he knows the consequences of opening the city.
"But they are members of our Holy See after all, so we can't shoot arrows at them, right?" an officer said.
"Why can't you shoot arrows?!"
"They have surrendered to the enemy secretly, didn't you see that they have attacked us with weapons?!"
"But they were forced."
"How do you know they were forced?"
"They are now trying to use their previous identities to arouse our sympathy. Maybe they will raise their butcher knives against us when we open the city to save them. Can you take this responsibility?"
Facing the stern question of the city lord, the guard officers who sympathized with the prisoners outside the city also sighed and fell silent.
"If you still admit that you are believers of God and people of the Holy See, you should not take up your swords and attack us, but immediately turn your swords and kill the enemies behind you!"
The city lord supported the battlements with both hands, and shouted loudly to the armed captives outside the city.
Sure enough, after hearing what the city lord said, there was some restlessness among the prisoners.
"Attack, otherwise none of you will survive today!"
"You only need to kill five enemies, and you can be free!"
Seeing that the captured soldiers were a little shaken, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army behind them also roared.
The scarlet horsewhip kept whipping these captive soldiers away, and if anyone was slower, the knife flashed, and some fell into a pool of blood.
Hearing the yelling and howling behind them, the captured soldiers were forced closer to the city wall step by step.
"Don't get any closer, or we'll shoot the arrow!"
The city lord standing at the top of the city also warned loudly when he saw the captive soldiers who were being driven closer and closer.
However, driven by the violence of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, these captive soldiers had to approach the city wall.
"Ready to shoot arrows!"
Seeing these captive soldiers getting closer and closer to the city wall, the city lord gave the order with a cold expression.
"Didn't you hear me, prepare to shoot the arrow!"
Seeing that the soldiers under his command were indifferent, the city lord also sternly reprimanded them.
Although the soldiers guarding the city were extremely reluctant, they still raised their arrows and aimed at those former comrades outside the city.
Although the captive soldiers outside the city were begging hard for the city to stop shooting arrows, the city lord didn't care so much in order to defend his city.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following the order of the city lord, the archers of the defenders closed their eyes and loosened their bowstrings.
Amidst the sound of arrows piercing through the air, arrows densely packed like locusts poured down from the top of the city.
"Puff!"
"ah!"
The arrows kept piercing through the bodies of the armed captives below the city, creating clouds of blood mist.
For a moment, there were wailing, cursing and the sound of arrows piercing into the flesh.
Seeing that the holy Holy See army at the head of the city finally attacked his own people, Fatty Lu, the head of the First Cavalry Corps of the Qinghe Army who was holding the formation in the distance, showed a successful smile on his face.
"To survive, kill!"
"Siege!"
The armed captives originally thought that the defenders at the top of the city would take their identities into account and would not attack them, and maybe even save them.
But what chilled them was that instead of opening the city to rescue them, the defenders at the top of the city shot arrows at them.
The actions of the defending army also completely angered these captured soldiers of the Holy See.
They once fought bloody battles to defend the city, but now that they were captured, the Holy See did not care about them, which made them disappointed and chilled, as if they had been abandoned.
On the contrary, the Qinghe army did not kill them, but gave them food every day, and now gave them a chance to survive.
Under the influence of emotions, these armed captive soldiers have no way out anyway, so it is better to fight hard and kill a way out!
This time, the angry captive soldiers did not have the urging and persecution of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army behind them, and they roared loudly one by one and launched an attack on the city.
A simple ladder leaned against the city wall, and these captive soldiers who were only issued with long knives climbed desperately.
The defenders at the top of the city saw that their former comrades really attacked them, and their pity just now disappeared without a trace, and the thunder, stone and rolling wood were thrown down desperately.
For a moment, the sound of shouting and killing on the battlefield shook the sky, the defenders desperately resisted, and the attacking captive soldiers attacked desperately.
However, the weapons of the captive soldiers were too simple, and they lacked effective command. Although they attacked fiercely, the effect was not great, and the casualties were huge.
After only half an hour of attacking, these attacking soldiers lost more than 3,000 soldiers, and the corpses were densely packed under the city, which was horrible.
Many people are unwilling to die on such a cruel battlefield, trying to escape from the battlefield while taking advantage of the chaos.
However, there were cavalry cavalry of the Qinghe Army wandering around, and their small calculations naturally came to nothing. Those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape became ghosts under the sword without exception.
"Da Shun!"
Seeing that the attacking captive soldiers had almost consumed the opponent's Thunder Stone Rolling Log, Fatty Lu called Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner.
"Let the cavalry arrows cover, and send a team of elite brothers to sneak in and seize the city!"
Following Fatty Lu's order, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army began to gallop to the battlefield. They galloped across the city and shot arrows at the top of the city to suppress the archers at the top of the city.
At the same time, a group of elite Qinghe army brothers also mixed into the attacking troops and gradually approached the city wall.
The defenders at the top of the city haven't experienced war for a long time. In order to resist the attack, they almost exhausted their prepared defensive weapons in a short period of time.
At this moment, the density of their arrows was much lower, and they blocked the attack for half an hour, and their physical strength was also exhausted.
Then the city lord sent everyone to the front line, without any reserve team, so although the soldiers defending the city were exhausted, they could only grit their teeth and stick to it. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
