Chapter 918: Never the Virgin
The madness under the walls continued, and the ignorant cultists of the Holy Elders rushed into the trenches like moths to a fire, filling several passages with flesh and blood. Countless hands stretched out from both sides of the passage, waving unconsciously in the air. Countless dying cries came from the trenches. Although the autumn sun was shining brightly, it had already made all those who witnessed it cold, as if they had seen a sea of corpses and blood in hell, and they were terrified to the bones.
The sound of the horn sounded again, and a phalanx rushed out of the bandit formation again, accompanied by the shouts of their crisp and immature voices. These charging men wore small black robes, carried small bamboo baskets covered with black cloths, and rushed to the city with hideous looks.
"These ...... Who are they? Children? Guo Kun had not yet recovered from Shicai's fright, and exclaimed in amazement.
Lin Jue's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Hai Dongqing really deserves to die, I didn't expect him to be so mad." It's okay to bewitch the elderly, even children are bewitched, and it's a loss of conscience. These are underage children, how can he lure them into battle? This guy really deserves to die, and it's not a pity to cut it with a thousand cuts. ”
Guo Kun frowned and said, "These children...... What can be done? Counting on them to take the city? Or ...... Children are going to commit suicide by jumping into a ditch? Crazy, just crazy. ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's see, see what they are going to do." Hey, we can't do it for the elderly, and we can't do it for the children. He commanded the brethren not to release arrows, but to observe and observe. ”
Guo Kun nodded in agreement, and said in his heart: "You are still serious about what you can't be kind to women, and now in the face of these children, I'm afraid you won't be able to be tough." ”
Under the city, two or three thousand children rushed to the city with a shout, although their faces were immature, but they were all hideous, and their faces were spitting with gray and black, like little ghosts running out of hell.
There is a special altar for children to be bewitched and brainwashed in the Youth Sect. Hai Dongqing actually attaches great importance to the demagogy and brainwashing of children in the school. Because he understands that adults may still be sensible, but children are the least judgmental and rational, and they are easily encouraged to do incredible things. They don't even care about their parents.
As a matter of fact, a large part of the murders and arsons that occurred after the Qingjiao Incident were caused by these teenagers. And often the methods are more cruel and vicious, because they have no idea what mercy and reason are. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't grown up and couldn't participate in the real battle, Hai Dongqing would have thought about establishing a boy boy camp. If the children in this group grow up, they will be out-and-out fanatics and diehards of the Youth Sect, and they will be the most ferocious and ferocious backbone of the Youth Sect. It's a pity that God didn't give Hai Dongqing this opportunity, and didn't give these brainwashed children in the church room to grow.
But even so, Hai Dongqing still refused to let go of this group of children, just like the old people in the sect, he still had to squeeze out the last trace of the children of the Holy Spirit Regiment, and act as a help for his siege of the city.
Today, these children are actually shouldering a mission, and Hai Dongqing knows that the officers and soldiers will still not attack these children, so they will arrive under the city wall smoothly like the Holy Elders and complete their mission.
With a crisp shout, the young men of the Holy Spirit Regiment quickly rushed to the front of the trench. They stood by the trench and saw what was happening in the trench. Many of the children screamed and cried in fright, revealing that they were still children. But soon, a teenager came out to beat and scolded the scared and crying children, and scolded them for being useless.
At the head of the city, Lin Jue, Guo Kun and the others stared at the actions of the group of children under the city, and they still did not order the arrows to be released, because so far, they had not found out what kind of threat these teenagers posed to the city. They didn't carry ladders, but it is not known what their intentions were in rushing to the bottom of the city.
But soon, the mystery is revealed. When more than 2,000 youths of the Holy Spirit Regiment began to line up at the edge of the trench, they lined up in two rows to form a long formation along the trench. Someone shouted an order, and the children quickly took something out of the bamboo basket behind them and held it in their hands, it was something the size of a melon, and it was in the shape of a black clay pot. These clay pots were covered with a rope net, connected to a rope several feet long, and a rope was sleeved at one end, which the young bandits quickly put around their wrists.
"That's ...... Do what? What the hell are they holding here? What kind of fame? Guo Kun asked.
Lin Jue frowned and stared down, he didn't know what these children were going to do. But soon, he understood. Because the Young Bandits of the Holy Spirit Order had already lit the clay pots, and grabbed the end of the rope and began to wave the clay pots in circles. It looks like a temple fair juggling waving fireballs to please the people, and the lit clay pots are blazing and thick
The smoke swirled around the teenagers in circles, getting faster and faster.
"No, they're going to throw canisters." Lin Jue shouted loudly.
As soon as Lin Jue's words fell, thousands of lit clay pots had already flown out of the hands of the young men of the Holy Spirit Regiment, cutting through the space of more than ten zhang and flying towards the city. A burst of ping-pong sounded. Some of the canisters smashed on the outside of the wall, some fell directly into the wall, and some fell behind the wall. After the clay pot broke, the viscous black oil inside splattered the bursting flames in all directions, and immediately filled the place with choking smoke and fire. Some soldiers could not dodge, and were splashed with fire oil, and immediately screamed in horror, causing a lot of commotion.
Originally, it was impossible for these teenagers to throw the canister of fire oil on the top of the castle with their arm strength, but after the rope was turned to help, and the distance from the city wall was extremely close, it was not disturbed in any way. A few pounds of clay pots flew up the city walls with no effort. All of this has been rehearsed and proven to be feasible before. Hai Dongqing also took advantage of the weakness of the officers and soldiers who would not attack children, so that they could get close to the city wall, and then suddenly launch such an attack.
The viscous oil is difficult to extinguish when it ignites, and even if it is not thrown on the city wall, even if it sticks to the outer wall, it can burn for a long time, emitting a pungent smoke. This will cause great trouble for the defenders. Not to mention the part of the city wall that was concentrated by the canisters of fire and oil, and if the place full of materials such as rolling wood arrows caught fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Compared to the situation on the city wall at the head of the city, the situation at the city gate was even more critical. Hundreds of canisters were targeted at the drawbridge and the city gate, which shattered to the left of the gate and the drawbridge, igniting a raging fire. As the fire spreads, if no action is taken, the oil sticking to it will quickly ignite the gates and drawbridges, causing the gates to open. That's the most worrying situation.
When the city was on fire everywhere and the smoke rose to the sky at the city gate, there was a cheer and shouting in the rear bandit array. The singing of the holy women began again, but this time it was the order to send off the main force of the bandits, the Guardian Army, to attack. Amidst the loud singing, the 25,000-strong contingent of the cathars divided into three waves and began to shout and charge towards the city. This time they carried long ladders, shiny scimitars, and two thousand archers charged with shields. The official siege did not begin until this time.
Under the city, the young bandits of the Holy Spirit Regiment had no intention of retreating, and after throwing a round, they took out the canister of fire oil from the bamboo basket they carried on their shoulders, lit it, and continued to wave and throw it towards the city. They let out unbridled laughter, and when each of the canisters burst burst into flames inside and outside the city walls, they opened their mouths and let out shrill laughter and cheers.
"Burn you demons and turn you into roast pigs."
"Hahaha, that's it, that's it, all of them are roasted pigs. Grilled thoroughly. ”
"This time the Holy Father must be very serious to us, saying that we are too young to fight? We've done a great job. ”
"Yes. He said that the officers and soldiers did not dare to release arrows at us, because he gave us a drink of runes and blessed us with the magic of protecting the body, and the officers and soldiers were frightened, and they really did not dare to release arrows. Let's not be afraid of anything, just smash the jar and burn these demons. ”
"Yes, yes, the Holy Father is great, the Holy Father is great, the world is invincible, the world is invincible."
“……”
At the head of the city, in the face of such a chaotic situation, Guo Kun jumped like thunder.
"Lin Jue, tell me what to do? I can't help it. They're not children, they're bandits, and I can't let them attack so recklessly. I don't care. ”
The muscles on Lin Jue's face twitched a few times, and through the thick smoke and fire, he saw the figures of the laughing children in the city. Yes, they are not children, they are killing machines bewitched by the Qingjiao, and they are opponents on the battlefield. If nothing is done, the consequences will be devastating. The boys had at least three or four cans of oil in their baskets. Throw them all over, and the city will be a sea of fire. The supplies will be burned up, and the gates will be burned.
However, if you want to make such a decision, you have to bear a lot of psychological pressure. After all, it's a bunch of bewitched children. It's a real dilemma.
Bang! A canister of fire oil smashed on the city wall not far from Lin Jue, and a flame flew up, and several archers were on fire, screaming loudly.
"Ah, ah, save me, save me." The soldier on fire shouted.
The surrounding soldiers rushed over to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and one of them had been burned beyond recognition, his face was black and red, and he could not fight at all.
Lin Jue suddenly woke up, what are you doing, this is on the battlefield, how can there be any children, women and children on the battlefield? But all opponents who participate in the battle are enemies, and mercy to the enemy is cruelty to one's own side. These teenagers are no longer mere teenagers, he
They are all soldiers of the Qingjiao, and Hai Dongqing just took advantage of his weakness. How can I hesitate here, let them act recklessly, and let my own brothers be harmed? What's more, the large-scale siege of the bandits has already begun, do you still have to throw a rat bogey, and you will not be able to selectively attack for a while?
"Uncle, give the order. If you go to war, you are the enemy. Whether it is an old man or a young man, they are all enemies. Let the woman's kindness not be had, or they will take advantage of it. I suggest that the order be given to shoot with arrows, not to be tolerated. Lin Jue gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
Guo Kun nodded and said, "I think so too, but on the battlefield, how can there be any mercy to talk about?" Don't be soft on your enemies. Give me orders, give me arrows! ”
On the high part of the city tower, the military flag waved. The soldiers had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Buzz! Arrows shot out from the top of the city like locusts, and a black cloud enveloped the young men of the Holy Spirit Regiment beneath the city. Puff puff, blood splattered, blood bloomed, and one by one crossbow arrows pierced the delicate bodies of this group of teenagers who did not know the height of the sky, making their jubilant laughter and joy come to an abrupt end. The dense rain of arrows, the extreme distance, barely gave them any room to escape. In the explosion of blood mist, the young bandits fell like cutting leeks, and were nailed through by arrows. But as long as the arrow was hit, not even injured, all of them were killed.
In just a rain of arrows, hundreds of these teenagers who were not afraid of heaven and earth before were shot and killed.
At the head of the city, Bai Bing, who was standing beside Lin Jue, couldn't stand it anymore, she turned her head and couldn't bear to look at it again. After all, it was a woman, and she couldn't see such a scene. After all, it was children and teenagers who fell, and she couldn't accept such an outcome.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Bing'er, if you feel uncomfortable, go down to the city to rest." I was actually in pain, but I had to. ”
Bai Bing shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving, I just hate that Hai Dongqing, all of this is caused by him." You have to make such a decision. But have you thought about it, and someone will criticize you in the future. After all...... They're just teenagers. ”
Lin Jue said coldly: "I understand, otherwise we wouldn't be so entangled before." But this is the battlefield, the opponent is the enemy, and we have no other choice. I don't want to be a virgin either. ”
"Our Lady? What does that mean? "White Ice Road.
"To put it simply, it is to be kidnapped by the so-called moral conscience. Some people will be bound by these shackles, and often ignore the big things and only care about the small things. For example, today, if we choose to indulge these teenagers just because they are teenagers, it will give Hai Dongqing the opportunity to kidnap us. If this battle is lost, then we are sinners under heaven. In order to quell the rebellion of the cult and bandits, to prevent any more people in the world from being bewitched by the Qingjiao, and to prevent countless people of all ages from being poisoned and bewitched, we must not be soft-hearted, and we must put the counterinsurgency first before discussing other things. I, Lin Jue, will never be bound by my behavior with the so-called moral conscience, and they will never want to use this kind of shackle to bind me. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Bai Bing pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "I understand, today's kindness is certainly reassuring, but it will cause him great trouble in the future. For the sake of the overall situation, it is a last resort. We don't deserve this what Our Lady of Rausch is. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Understand, correct." We will never be the Virgin, we will do what we have to do. Regardless of his old men and children, those who attack me are enemies, and if they are enemies, they deserve to die. Sometimes, it's as simple as that, and there's no need to think about it. Only those who are generous to others will blame others before the end of the day. When the butcher's knife rests on his neck, he will make the same choice. ”
After the second round of arrow rain, more than half of the arrogant young bandits of the Holy Spirit Regiment under the city were killed and wounded, and at this moment, they could not be arrogant. In the final analysis, they are still mentally incomplete teenagers, and they are not so calm in the face of death.
"Invulnerability is fake, the Holy Father has deceived us."
"Yes, it's all a lie, it's all a lie. Xiao Dezi died, Erzhuzi also died, and the Holy Father deceived us. Woooooooo ”
"Woo woo, my brother is also dead, run, if we don't run, we'll all die."
"But...... The people behind are attacking, and the Holy Father said that no one is allowed to retreat. ”
"Do you still listen to the Father? He lied to us. He's a liar, do you still listen to liars? ”
"yes, run, or you'll die."
The teenagers shouted, crying and fleeing backwards. However, they only escaped a few dozen paces before they were blocked by the cathars rushing up from behind.
"Little bunnies, dare to escape? Rush with us. Whoever runs away will be killed. The cathars shouted and cursed. The teenagers were helpless, and under duress, they had to be coerced by them and attacked the city.
