Chapter 859: Are You Willing to Surrender Now?
"Daddy...... I'm afraid! A child said to his father as he ran forward as he was pushed forward by the crowd behind him as he looked at the Luzon soldiers standing on the city walls.
A middle-aged man was running forward with his two wives and three or four children, and as he ran, he instructed: "You all follow me to the city wall, those soldiers on the city wall will not shoot arrows at us." β
In the eyes of this middle-aged man, Apari is so big, everyone looks down and doesn't look up on weekdays, and if you find a few people, they may all be related to each other, and those soldiers don't dare to release arrows at all.
This was not only the thought of this middle-aged man, but also the thoughts of those around him, at this time, these people had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to hurry up and run under the walls of Apari, and when they got there, those evil Ming people behind them would not dare to whip and kill them at will, and the warriors of Luzon would teach them a hard lesson.
Seeing that he could run under the city wall in another one or two hundred meters, this middle-aged man seemed to be able to be saved as long as he worked harder.
At this moment, he faintly heard a shouting order coming from the city wall.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Poof......
"Poof......
Arrows were shot from the city walls, and although there were not many arrows, for the people of Luzon who were huddled into a heap and rushed forward, the archers did not need to aim at all, as long as they shot arrows at the general target, there were always unlucky ghosts who would be shot.
The middle-aged man, who was running desperately with his wife and children, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, he looked down and found that he had an arrow in his chest at some point, and blood was slowly flowing from the tail of the arrow made of rough pine wood.
His strength was drawn out of his body with the blood, and although he wanted to keep running, his body had begun to disobey him, and his steps had become staggering.
As his speed slowed down, he was quickly knocked to the ground by the crowd surging behind him, and before he could even scream, he was trampled by a pair of feet, and in a short time it had already turned into a pile of rotten flesh with blurred flesh.
And the two wives and children who were not supported by him also continued to move forward under the push of the crowd behind.
"Whoosh...... Whoosh ......"
The archers on the city walls kept shooting arrows, constantly taking the lives of the people of Luzon.
On the city wall, Prince Karui was shouting to the soldiers, "Keep firing arrows for me...... Shoot me to death those untouchables and Ming people! We must not let them rush to the walls, or we will all die, you know? β
In the face of the crazy Prince Caroo, the Luzon soldiers on the city wall did not dare to slack off, and kept bending their bows and arrows towards the city.
At first, some soldiers couldn't bear to shoot arrows at their blind dates, but they were soon discovered by Prince Karui's guards on patrol. The soldiers of these guards didn't care whether you were a comrade-in-arms or not, and the leather whips and wooden sticks in their hands immediately hit them headlessly, causing these soldiers to scream and scream.
After the fight, the guards warned them again, this time only a warning, and next time they would cut people.
Under the threat of death, even the most reluctant soldiers could only shoot arrows at the Luzon people under the city walls, anyway, the following was so dense that as long as the bow was opened and the arrows were shot, there was almost no miss.
"Ah...... Ah......h
As the people of Luzon continued to be shot under the city walls, the people who had thought that the soldiers would not shoot arrows at themselves gradually came to their senses, and only then did they realize how naΓ―ve their original ideas were.
Why everyone is a villager, what Luzon soldiers don't kill the people of Luzon, these are all. In the face of war, any feelings are fake, and in order to defend the city walls, the soldiers will definitely not be stingy with the arrows in their hands.
There is an old saying in Huaxia, there is no turning back when you open the bow, since this step has been taken, the Luzon soldiers who were still a little unbearable in their hearts have gradually let go, since they have already killed people, is there a difference between killing one and killing two or three?
In addition, there were also Prince Karui and his henchmen shouting loudly beside him, if these people were allowed to rush into the city, then not only these people would die, but also they and their families.
After hearing more, the soldiers gradually changed their minds, if it weren't for the Ming people who did such a shameless thing and drove the people of Luzon to attack the city, they would not have been "forced" to fire arrows at their fathers and villagers.
Human thinking is so strange, sometimes after doing something bad, instead of self-examination, it will take the anger of others and put the blame on others.
Of course, this is indeed the case, the initiators of this incident are indeed those Mongols, if it were not for Wu Keshan's order, those Luzon people would not have been used as cannon fodder to attack the city.
Soon, the Luzon soldiers, who had been killed, lifted the stones from the city wall and smashed them at the Luzon people who had already rushed under the city wall.
This is lively, dozens of pounds of stones fell from the high city wall, the power is not comparable to a small arrow, in the face of the crowd of cheats, a stone will take away at least several lives, not to mention those who have broken hands and feet.
Seeing the groups of Luzon people under the city wall being driven under the city wall by those fierce Mongolian cavalry like driving cattle and sheep, and then falling in a pool of blood in batches, even Castro and several other Spanish officers who had been mentally prepared were secretly surprised, but they didn't expect these Luzon people to kill their own people without mercy.
It's just that although the Luzon soldiers are so hardworking, the Luzon people under the city are still constantly attacking the West Gate.
You must know that yesterday alone, Wu Keshan led his Mongolian cavalry to almost sweep away the villages within a radius of thirty miles of Aparhi, except for a very few villages that were too remote and undiscovered, most of the villages were swept away by them, and nearly 20,000 villagers were captured by them.
Today, Wu Keshan divided the 20,000 people into several batches to attack the West Gate, and in just one hour, more than 6,000 people fell under the city wall.
Some of them were killed by arrows, some were stoned, but many more were trampled to death by their own people, and the road leading to the west gate was littered with corpses of various shapes.
What is even more tragic is that those who did not die are wailing loudly, and some are lying on the ground and begging for help from the people around them, and for a time the whole battlefield is filled with wailing, mourning and cursing sounds.
This tragic appearance made even Prince Karui, who personally gave the order, look a little dazed.
This miserable situation lasted for an hour, and Wu Keshan ordered the Mongol cavalry to stop driving the people of Luzon to storm the city walls.
It was still the same Luzon interpreter and cavalry from yesterday, still a hundred meters away from the city wall.
The Luzon interpreter asked in a loud voice, "Prince Karui, how have you thought about it, and are you willing to surrender now?" β
