Chapter 860: Iron-Hearted Karui
Karui looked at the high-spirited Mongol cavalry under the city walls and gritted his teeth: "Bastard...... These damn bastards of the Great Ming Kingdom, they actually did such a cruel thing, aren't they afraid of being punished by the Lord? ”
Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the people of Luzon originally believed in primitive religions, they believed in animism, worshiped the gods of nature, especially crocodiles and birds, and believed that there was a divine bird that was the great and all-powerful god of creation, which created heaven, earth and man, called Batala
But after the arrival of the Spaniards, in order to show their submission, the top of Luzon began to convert to Catholicism, and Prince Carew was no exception.
After the curse, a wave of fear welled up in his heart, and looking at the corpses and wails outside the city, Karui turned his head to look at Castro and several officers beside him.
Gritting his teeth, Karui walked towards Castro and pleaded with him: "Colonel Castro, those evil Ming people have come to persuade them to surrender again, what should we do?" ”
Castro retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Your Royal Highness, didn't you already make your own choice yesterday, why are you starting to waver again?" ”
"But...... But too many of us have died...... They...... They ......," the pale-faced Caroo pointed to the people outside the city who were still pointing to the city walls, and the people of Luzon who were scolding or pleading in pain could not go on.
Castro shook his head helplessly, this Karui, he was still praising him for his courage yesterday, but before he started to fight today, he began to reveal the essence of his lust and inwardness, in fact, in the final analysis, he was afraid that after seeing so many Luzon people killed and injured, Karui was afraid, and he was afraid that he would not be able to end after killing tens of thousands of Luzon people outside the city.
He stared at Karui and said with a somewhat sharp expression: "Do you know what you are talking about now, do you think that if you stop those people of the Great Ming Kingdom now, they will spare you?" Or will the people of Luzon outside the city be grateful to you?
Don't dream, let me tell you, as long as you dare to surrender now, when the Ming army outside the city enters the city, the first person to kill will be you! ”
"Ah......h
Listening to Karstras's words, Karui also woke up suddenly.
Yes, he has already killed so many people, even if he stops killing them, it is difficult that they will still be grateful to him. If he really surrendered and let those Ming troops outside the city enter the city, maybe the first ones to kill him would probably be those untouchables outside the city, right?
Thinking of this, Karui said to Castro gratefully: "Colonel Castro, thank you for the reminder, I know what to do." ”
…………
"What, they actually refused to surrender?"
Wu Keshan, who was outside the city, looked at the centurion who went to persuade him to surrender with some surprise.
"Yes, Taiji. The native prince refused our persuasion. The centurion's face was also full of anger, "The guy actually said that even if he was all killed, he would not surrender. ”
"Good...... Very good......"
Wu Keshan laughed angrily.
"I thought I could capture a group of captives and get some money, but now that they don't want to live, then I'll fulfill them! Deliver my orders to all the remaining natives, and I wonder what it would be like to kill all my people! ”
"Understood!"
With Wu Keshan's order, the Mongol soldiers, who had already slowed down their speed, suddenly increased their speed, and this time their attack direction was not only limited to the west gate, but also attacked the four city gates at the same time, and now those Apari defenders began to have a headache.
Originally, there were not many defenders in Apari, and it was already difficult for more than 3,000 people to be stationed on the walls of the city with a circumference of several miles, but now they had to deal with attacks from all sides at the same time, and the numerical disadvantage was suddenly exposed.
Some people may say that it is only some unarmed Luzon people who come, and even if they are allowed to rush under the city walls, they will not be able to get up anyway.
This sounds very reasonable at first glance, but don't forget, there are still 3,000 Ming soldiers behind these Luzon people, if these Luzon people are allowed to rush under the city wall at will and ignore it, who knows if these people will blend in with the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, what if these people do anything below or take the opportunity to carry a ladder to attack the city?
Therefore, for the sake of Aparri's comfort, as the defender of the city, he would not dare to let the enemy wander under his walls.
Thus, the tragedy of these Luzon people who were driven away was that instead of dying under the butcher's knife of the enemy, they died at the hands of their own people.
This absurd battle lasted for three or four hours and finally ended, and at last there was no longer a standing Luzon citizen under the city walls, and the exhausted soldiers of the city sat behind the battlements, and one by one their expressions became trance-like.
Although all the people who stormed the city were finally killed, no one was happy.
Carui also leaned against the battlements, at this time he also wanted to cry without tears, after today's battle, he knew that the "feat" he had done today would definitely spread throughout the entire Luzon country in the fastest time.
He couldn't imagine what his father would do to him when he found out, and how his brothers would slander him in front of him.
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much, let's get past the current level first."
Karui gritted his teeth and was about to go to Colonel Castro to discuss the next countermeasures, but he was just about to turn around when he saw another shout in front of him, and then he heard an officer next to him shouting loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good, the army of the Ming Kingdom has begun to attack." ”
"What?"
Karui quickly poked his head out of the battlements, and saw that the Mongol soldiers, who had been standing still, began to move.
In the dull sound of bull horns, the Mongolian soldiers who dismounted began to run towards the city girl with a series of ladders, and the cavalry also began to move slowly towards the city wall.
"Quick...... Get ready for archery! ”
"As soon as the people of the Ming Kingdom rush up, they will immediately release the arrows!"
"I must not let the people of the Ming Kingdom rush up, if I don't want to die, cheer me up!"
One of the officers on the wall began to rush to the lying and sitting soldiers, pulled them all up, pushed them behind the battlements, and ordered them to take up their bows and arrows and prepare to release them.
At this moment, the Mongolian cavalry who were originally watching the battle from behind sped up their speed, and before the soldiers defending the city had time to enter the state of combat readiness, they rushed to a place more than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
