Seven hundred and fortieth chapters people eat each other
Chapter 746: People actually eat each other
"Kill!" Finally a siege vehicle in Hetao approached the city wall. The soldiers on the siege vehicle shouted loudly, waving their weapons like tigers descending the mountain and rushed into the defending Mandan soldiers. It was just his spear.
Just as he pierced the neck of an enemy soldier, he was struck by several large knives from the enemy at the same time. His hairy hands fell directly to the city wall, and then fell to the bottom of the city, becoming part of the soil.
The Mandan soldiers knew that this was their last battle. The entire Mandan had been exterminated. If the city was defeated, they would not be an exception. Therefore, although they were all sallow and skinny and even about to collapse, their fighting spirit was particularly high.
When fighting begins, he does not care about life and death. Even if he is seriously injured, he will use his last strength to hug the Hetao soldier in front of him and create opportunities for his comrades behind him.
The tenacity and tenacity of a nation can only be truly seen at the last moment of life and death. The Mandan soldiers' sacrifice of life and death, after inflicting huge damage to the soldiers of Hetao, also won the Hetao very high
His praise. Haixi Shiye, worship the brave generals of the capital, and the Mandan soldiers are excellent. This is what Tie Zhen specially warned Haotian back then.
From the perspective of Hetao, the soldiers in Haixi are indeed barbaric, but barbarism is barbarism. They are also afraid of death and have fear. Moreover, because their individual combat capabilities are too strong, they ignore the cooperation of their soldiers, so when they encounter
When the Hetao attacked like a violent storm, they were instantly defeated.
The brave generals of Baijing, with top generals outside the Great Wall such as Cassimbas, Yao Jinxi, Huan Fuzhuan, Skovich, Hekimur, etc., Baijing is indeed the biggest threat to the Chinese Dynasty on the battlefield. But like Changhua
As shown in the First World War, the bravery and combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Beijing were based more on the excellent command of the generals. When the generals collapsed, the entire army became worthless.
But Mandan is different. Although they don't have good enough generals, their soldiers are too brave. To a larger extent, the elite soldiers here should have strong folk customs and believe in martial arts. Therefore, even if they fall into
At a disadvantage, even if the whole army is annihilated, they will not give in until death. Among so many opponents fighting with Hetao, except for the Holy Sect of Paradise when they first started their army, they have the integrity to never surrender even if they fight to the death.
Only the Mandan soldiers have maintained this advantage as always. Therefore, the most taboo thing in the Hetao is to fight head-on with the Mandan, because the Mandan soldiers are too tenacious, and there will always be great losses in the Hetao.
The hundreds of thousands of troops heading south, except for the cavalry, were almost in full line. Everyone knew that this was the last battle against the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, so they tried their best to fight for the right to fight before the war began. However, the walls of Mifeng City were growing.
It was also unable to accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops to attack at the same time, so Dugu simply divided each section of the city wall into different legions and allowed them to freely deploy troops to attack. This satisfied the generals below.
As the first siege vehicle approached the city wall, more and more Hetao soldiers appeared on the city wall. However, the defensive Mandan soldiers did not retreat. They knew very well that once the Hetao soldiers were allowed to stand firm on the city wall,
Heel, then you are doomed. The soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles with the Hetao, while the soldiers behind are constantly pushing forward. Many soldiers in the Hetao were actually squeezed off the city wall by their stupid method. Here
Even Zhao Dawu, the infantry commander of the Huben Corps.
Zhao Dawu fell from the city wall. The wall was four to five feet high. Even if he couldn't be killed by the fall, it would be normal for him to be crippled. But this boy was lucky. The following was crowded with soldiers preparing to attack the city. When he saw the soldiers wearing
He was wearing general armor and fell from the city wall. The soldiers below quickly threw away the weapons in their hands. Dozens of arms were raised at the same time to catch him. But unfortunately, one soldier reacted a little slower and threw it away before he could
The single sword in his hand stabbed him in the buttocks, immediately staining his shirt with blood.
"Haha, our Hetao army has been on the battlefield for so many years, and this is the first time that someone has been stabbed in the butt." Haotian looked at Zhao Dawu who was being supported by several soldiers and walked down the battlefield, and suddenly laughed and said.
When Dugu saw Zhao Dawu's bloody crotch, he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Fortunately we know that this bastard is a man, otherwise, I would have thought it was something like that. Zhao Dawu, this Hongxia Manyuegou, I don't know you
What do you think?"
Zhao Dawu's face turned purple. Looking at Dugu's obscene smile, he really wanted to commit suicide with a knife, or it would be better to kill Dugu.
Xin Jiao and others' eyes were dull. This Dugu Yuming was really becoming more and more rogue. He didn't even think about it. There were several women here. Didn't he think about building some moral integrity when he spoke?
Luo Xiang couldn't help laughing, but looking at the faces of Xin Jiao and others, he changed the subject with a smile: "Here, why don't you help General Zhao go down to recover from his injuries. Fortunately, he is the commander of the infantry. If he were the cavalry, it would be troublesome. But
For at least half a month, he could only lie on his stomach when sleeping at night."
The tenacity of the Mandan defenders on the city wall surprised Hetao. Due to the long-term lack of food, all the Mandan soldiers from generals to soldiers were sallow and thin. The Mandan soldiers who were originally not as big as the soldiers in Hetao actually looked like golden flower monkeys.
Some fought hard. Especially some soldiers wearing armor, they even took a step to shake. The Hetao soldiers were even worried that if they took off their armor and the strong wind blew, they would be blown away.
But it was such an army that blocked the desperate attack of hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao. It defeated the Mandan's most elite armored heavy cavalry with a weak force on the Great Plains, and defeated the invincible military god Kasimba outside the Great Wall in Changhua.
Si, and after the Huangyang Icefield Soldiers wiped out the Abat people with no blood, the spirit and fighting spirit of the Hetao soldiers rose to unprecedented heights. But such an elite force who had experienced hundreds of battles was actually blocked on the city wall by the opponent's old and weak soldiers.
It's impossible to move even half a step forward.
"A nation's last performance, I didn't expect it to be so tragic and glorious." Haotian watched from a distance and suddenly said with emotion.
Xuanji nodded and said: "Their fighting spirit is indeed beyond our imagination. If Mandan mobilizes all the people from the beginning, and all their troops and people can do this, then even if we can destroy Mandan, we will definitely
Pay a huge price, not just 150,000 soldiers."
Luo Xiang said quickly: "Of these 150,000 soldiers, half of them died in the hands of Cassimbas."
Haotian did not continue this topic. Since Mandan has been destroyed, it is just a cloud to Haotian. But the Mifeng City in front of him is still in the hands of Xiao Shicheng. If the city of Mifeng is captured as soon as possible, there will be dozens of rivers
Only then could the tens of thousands of troops be freed to attack the northwest prairie without any scruples.
Although the Mandan soldiers were commendable for their courage, facing the Hetao soldiers who had an absolute advantage in both physical strength and numbers, their resistance was quite difficult. It cannot be said to be resistance, it was completely a strategy of mutual destruction. The city was broken.
It is death, and dying in battle is also death. It is better to die more vigorously. Supported by this belief, the Mandan soldiers became even more crazy.
However, the spiritual beliefs they were proud of did not allow them to suppress the offensive in Hetao. From the beginning of the army in Hetao, what has always frightened all the forces in the world is their belief in fighting and the tenacity of their will. Because of this, Hetao
Only then can he go all the way from Dingzhou to the whole world, and then sweep across Liuhe to intimidate Yunei.
The losses in offensive and defensive battles are generally between 1:2 and 1:3. The defender who occupies a favorable location often loses much less. However, when the opponent's strength exceeds a certain limit, this ratio will be greatly reduced.
The morale of both sides, the commanding skills of the generals, and weather conditions will also affect this ratio. After all, Xiao Shicheng only had 50,000 men under his command, which was not even the elite regular army of the Mandan, and more than 100,000 civilians with yellow faces and severely weakened muscles.
, when the battle goes well, they can forget their physical fatigue, but when the battle is at a disadvantage, their spirit and belief will also be affected, and the degree of fatigue will be doubled.
Moreover, Minzhuang is Minzhuang after all. They are not an army. They are full of passion and determination to fight to the death, but without the cooperation of their comrades and rich battlefield experience, they are no match for the Hetao army. The number of Hetao soldiers on the city wall is increasing.
Many, Mandan Minzhuang was either killed on the spot or pushed off the city wall. With the iron-blooded mountain and river flag of Hetao firmly planted on the city tower, Haotian and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. The overall situation has been decided. Even if Xiao Shicheng
Even with the power of heaven, there is no way to reverse the situation.
Xiao Shicheng died, and he died earlier than most Mandan soldiers. The place where his general's flag was located was the key direction of the Hetao army's attack. On the battlefield, human life was like a piece of grass, even for the generals.
After Xiao Shicheng killed six Hetao soldiers, the attacking Hetao soldiers finally saw the opportunity and cut the bodies apart with a knife. However, before the Hetao soldier had time to lift Xiao Shicheng's head into his hands, he was attacked by the angry Man behind him.
Dan soldiers beheaded him. Xiao Shicheng's body was soon trampled into pulp by countless big feet, so much so that when Hetao was cleaning the battlefield, his body was not found.
"Capture two prisoners and ask them how they have persisted for more than a month." Luo Xiang said quickly when he saw more and more Hetao soldiers on the tower.
He knew very well that the virtues of the soldiers in Hetao meant that wherever they passed, there would be no grass growing. If he didn't understand this problem, he might not feel safe even in his sleep.
The soldiers left in a hurry, but after a while of effort, they hurried back and told Luo Xiang, Haotian and others the information they obtained.
When Xian Lianchen heard this, he vomited it out. Although Qiu Mu and Xin Jiao had strong endurance, their faces were pale. However, Zhang Yuewan, who was familiar with poetry and books and had a tough mind, just frowned when he heard this.
After a long time, Haotian said with emotion: "People can eat each other. I didn't expect Xiao Shicheng and the Mandan soldiers in the city to be so tenacious."
Yes, without any food, even the roots of bark and grass have been eaten, the only thing the soldiers and civilians in the city can eat are people. First the women in the city, then the old, weak, sick and disabled, and then the weak.
In this way, under the blockade of the Hetao, the Mandan army and people tenaciously supported it.
Luo Xiang and Xuanji also had shock on their faces. Human cannibalism has not never happened in the history of China. Whenever there was a chaos and food shortage, people would exchange their children for food. But they never thought that the people in the city would
The Mandan soldiers and civilians could actually be so tenacious. After a long time, Luo Xiang finally opened his mouth and said: "My lord, after the city of Mifeng is defeated, burn it down with a fire."
Haotian nodded, with an indescribably weird expression. He didn't mind killing millions of people and destroying the country and the city, but he always found it hard to accept the cannibalism of people. Just like the reason why Jinhua Mitsukoshi was in trouble, it was because
They once caused the two-legged sheep incident on Dahu Road. But this matter was Mandan's own family matter after all. From an objective opponent's standpoint, Haotian had to admit that Xiao Shicheng and the soldiers and civilians in the city were indeed strong-willed.
Miyun City was destroyed, and the once all-powerful Shenzhou Dynasty, which was unable to resist the great power outside the Great Wall, was finally wiped out. Although there must still be remnants of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms on the vast Northeast Plains, this is no longer important to Hetao.
. In the next five to ten years, the Hetao Cavalry will visit this place until all the remaining forces are uprooted. Although Haotian's heart will show intermittent softness, but the grass will not be removed, the spring breeze will
Chui Yousheng, he is quite aware of this. But when facing his own people, he often cannot be so decisive.
Luo Xiang was a little melancholy. He was silent as he looked at the city of Mifeng that was gradually reduced to ruins in the fire. When he was born, it was when Emperor Honglie's expedition failed and the Three Northeastern Kingdoms began to rise. Later, the Three Northeastern Kingdoms and Qingfeng
One empire was prospering while the other was declining. Especially after the fall of Youyun Sixteen Provinces in 618, the national strength of both sides underwent earth-shaking changes. The three northeastern kingdoms were so powerful at that time. They could mobilize millions of troops at any time if they wanted to.
, there are far-sighted strategists and politicians like Yelu Canghai, vicious careerists and conspirators like Jin Meiliu, and military strategists and unparalleled commanders like Kasimbas Yao Jinxi who have experienced hundreds of battles and won every victory,
Coupled with the two million troops under his command that have been through battles for a long time and are well-equipped, it will be quite difficult for even the entire Chinese dynasty to confront them head-on.
Its rise is booming, and its demise is also sudden. There is a saying that when the moon is full, it will lose, and it will flourish and decline. The pinnacle of glory is the beginning of their decline. At this time, Haotian suddenly emerged and returned to Hetao.
In the northwest, they fought against the Jianghuai River and leveled the southeast. With the help of Xiang Xing and other Qingfeng Empire elders and Li Xiaomo and other young heroes from China, the three northeastern kingdoms were finally expelled south of the river, and then were driven back to the outside of the Great Wall from Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.
, eventually destroying the country one by one.
Luo Xiang was filled with emotion as he watched the three northeastern kingdoms being destroyed one by one by his own hands. Will Hetao and the Haotian Empire one day embark on such a path?
The old man suddenly became confused in the relatively mild wind outside the Great Wall.
At the foot of Mifeng City, Haotian finally left his Qingyun vehicle, mounted his long-lost war horse, and prepared to leave Miyun westward with hundreds of thousands of troops, and meet up with the cavalry of Feng Jing and others on the prairie.
The Qingyun was so huge that it could not pass through the gates of Miyun City. On the entire Great Wall defense line, only four major passes such as Juyongguan could accommodate the Qingyun. Thinking that his two sons had followed him out for so long, Chu Xiangcheng
He Yu and others will definitely be missed very much, so Haotian took advantage of the situation and let the Qingyun sail south from Juyong Pass, and asked Xian Lianchen to lead his own soldiers to personally send the Hao and Jin brothers back to the Holy Capital of Tiandu.
If it were in the past, Haotian would not have dared to do this. However, the three northeastern countries have been completely wiped out. Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they are no match for the three thousand soldiers. As for the Sushen and other clans, even if they are given one thousand and one
No matter how brave they are, they don't dare to go against the Hetao. After seeing the bloody methods of the Hetao, the Northeastern barbarians are now completely silent and do not dare to challenge the Hetao. Everyone knows that Haotian only has two sons, and these two sons are still
Born by God's will, it is his lifeblood. No matter who dares to take advantage of the Hao Jin brothers, who knows what Haotian, a lunatic, will do.
In this westward expedition to Tieying Qiuming, the troops on the Hetao side are unprecedentedly strong. The five regiments of the North Route Army with 350,000 cavalry have crossed the northern part of Duanhun Ridge. It is estimated that the northern territory of Tieying Qiuming is now full of smoke. And the troops on the southern route are
It is even more terrifying. In addition to the three main legions of Hu Ben, Xue Sha and White Tiger, and the two direct legion legions of Qilin and Honor, there are also Chu Lianfeng's Eastern Legion and Li Xiaomo's Flying Bear Legion, plus Miyun City's Red Snake Legion and
The total strength of the Canglang Legion at Yumen Pass and Hetao is close to one million. Since the reign of the King of the World, no army of this size has ever taken the initiative to step outside the Great Wall.
"Sir, what do you think about the upcoming war?" Haotian asked in a deep voice while riding on horseback.
"As long as Rouran doesn't get involved, then annihilating Tie Ying Qiu Ming is just a snap of the fingers. But if Rouran takes action, then we will definitely have some troubles." Luo Xiang said with a smile.
Xuanji chuckled and said: "Rouran will not interfere. Just three days ago, the Kipchak Khan personally commanded an army of 200,000 to raid Thuringia, the most important principality east of Obsburg, and sent a small group of cavalry to attack directly.
Within the Obsburg Empire, the Obsburg Empire was shocked and had asked Suganev to personally lead the troops into battle. You know, every time Rouran attacked before, the number of troops used in a single attack was around 100,000 people, and
A total of 200,000 troops were dispatched this time, which is already half of Rouran's standing army. Even the Obsburg Empire did not dare to neglect."
Since the Qingyun has been sent to the Holy Capital of Tiandu, Haotian also wanted to relive the feeling of riding a horse on the battlefield. Therefore, although there were several smaller carriages following behind him, he insisted on riding with the soldiers. Now it was
Xuanji suffered a lot, and Xuanji didn't like riding horses. He always felt that if he continued like this, he would become bow-legged. But even Haotian stayed on the horse, so it was naturally difficult for him to ask for special treatment. But in this way, his riding skills were quite good.
Reluctantly, Xuanji had to hold on to the reins tightly and even fastened the feather fan to his belt.
Haotian also saw Xuanji's thoughts, so he smiled and asked Xuanji to return to the carriage. However, Xuanji was very proud of his face. Although he was moved, he still firmly rejected Haotian's kindness, so Haotian said no more.
