The rumbling of horses' hooves broke the silence of the village, and a group of cavalrymen in iron or leather armor, with bangs on their heads and high-pitched and strange shouts coming from their mouths, rushed in from all directions.

In the face of the sudden cavalry, the villagers who had been lazily basking in the sun or bragging or working in the village were all stunned, and then they scattered screaming and fleeing.

It's just a pity that two legs can't outrun four legs after all, these villagers were either knocked to the ground by the war horse or covered by the lasso, and then dragged away by the war horse, accompanied by blood stains and screams.

One villager was dragged by horses or driven by cavalry to the center of the village, and when it was confirmed that everyone in the village was gathered, the cavalry left some of them to escort the villagers, while the rest roared towards the next village......

It was getting dark, and the Mongol cavalry outside Apari did not make any moves to attack the city, which also calmed the hearts of the originally nervous Prince Karui and the soldiers of Luzon.

The extreme panic was followed by extreme ecstasy and gaffes, and the soldiers of the Song Kingdom, who originally thought that there would be a bloody battle today, stood on the city wall and yelled, and some even smiled strangely and urinated on the head of the city, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

Seeing such a situation, Castro and the other three all showed disappointment on their faces.

Castro said helplessly: "I thought I was already looking down on these natives, but I didn't expect them to be even worse than I expected. ”

Mitchell said disdainfully: "If these people are my soldiers, the only thing I have to do is shoot them all so as not to waste food, such a fool goes to the battlefield and I can't think of any use except to send them to death." ”

"Let's wait and see, I think things will come to an end tomorrow." Castro looked at the Mongol cavalry outside the city who had been standing still in a neat formation, and his face showed a solemn expression, "Tell our people, we must be prepared, and tomorrow if the situation is not right, we will immediately break out of the city." ”

"Colonel, the Mongols outside are starting to retreat."

The lieutenant next to him pointed to the Mongols outside the city and shouted.

Everyone looked and saw that the former Mongol cavalry outside the city was slowly retreating towards the rear, and soon disappeared as night fell.

That night, Prince Karui ordered a reward for killing pigs and sheep to reward the army, and gave a rare part of the money to those young men who went up to the city wall to help defend the city today, and for a time the whole city of Apari was thunderous.

Both the soldiers and the people of Apari sang their praises to Prince Karui, which made Prince Karui so proud that he ordered a banquet for the officers and officials of the army in his palace, and the whole city of Apari fell into a carnival that night.

Seeing this scene, Castro couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and even began to wonder if Governor Fidel's eyes could really support such a fool. But fortunately, Prince Karui is not hopelessly stupid, at least he knows that the soldiers are forbidden to drink, otherwise he may have to consider whether to flee back to Cebu Island overnight.

The sky began to lighten, and the Luzon soldiers who had been partying all night re-climbed the city walls, and in their opinion, the only thing the Ming cavalry could do in the face of such a "fortified city" as they were to retreat quickly.

However, they were doomed to disappointment, and those Ming cavalry began to appear again, but unlike yesterday, there were other people who appeared with them.

A Luzon soldier pointed to the city and stammered, "Look...... Those are...... Who is it? It looks familiar. ”

Someone next to him: "They ...... They seem to be...... It seems to be the people of Luzon. ”

As these men got closer and closer to the city wall, the Luzon soldiers on the city wall were also stunned, and a ragged Luzon civilian, old and weak, women and children, driven by the hateful Mongol cavalry, were walking towards their wall, and behind these Luzon people, more than a thousand Mongol soldiers were slowly walking behind them carrying ladders.

Wu Keshan stood behind, looked at the defenders on the city and sneered, and he said to a herald next to him: "Aren't you not surrendering, this time I want to see what you do?" Tell me to speed up and get all the natives under the city walls. ”

"Understood!"

The herald hastened to pass his order down.

After receiving Wu Keshan's order, the Mongol soldiers who were in charge of supervising the rear began to kick and beat, and even killed several Luzon civilians who were lagging behind, loudly driving them to speed up.

Seeing such a situation, a Luzon general in charge of the defense of the West City Gate was so angry that he cursed.

Nima's, these Mongolians are too lacking in morality, how can they even use such shameless tricks.

To tell the truth, although there are not many tricks in the history of Chinese warfare, this kind of trick to drive the local people to attack the city is not uncommon, especially when a war breaks out between two different ethnic groups.

But Luzon is different, as an island country, Luzon rarely suffers from foreign aggression, of course, except for the invasion of the current Spanish colonists, so this kind of thing driven by the other party to attack the city is the first time they have seen it, and they can't help but panic for a while.

Seeing that the people who were not to be driven away were getting closer and closer to the city wall, the officer on the side was anxious and asked in a trembling voice: "General, what are we going to do?" Do you want to release arrows? ”

"I ......"

The generals defending the city were so anxious that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Just when he was in a hurry, Prince Karui, who had received the report, also arrived.

Having drunk a lot of wine the previous night, Prince Karui's footsteps were still a little fugitive, and he looked at the people of his country who were hobbling towards the city gate, and at the Mongol soldiers behind him who were driving them with swords and guns.

I saw that he turned his head and slapped the general guarding the city beside him, and scolded: "You are a fool, why don't you give the order to release the arrows?" ”

The general defending the city covered his face, and was a little stunned for a while, and after a while, he stammered: "Your Highness, but...... But here's ...... The people below are all the people of Luzon! ”

"What about the people?"

Prince Karui was in a hurry, and slapped him with another backhand.

"Now they're coming to us, you know? Didn't you hear what those Ming people said yesterday, if we don't surrender, as long as we break through the city, we will bloody Apari! Or do you want to die here? ”

After speaking, Prince Karui did not wait for the general to speak, and immediately shouted at the surrounding soldiers guarding the city: "If you don't want to die, all of you will give me arrows...... Hurry up and release the arrow...... Hear no...... Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

Under the urging of Prince Karui and his guards, the defenders of the city walls finally began to fire arrows downward, and one arrow after another shot down under the walls......
