A series of orders were issued, and the war drums and horns in the Qingjiao army were noisy and breathtaking. The command flag waved, and the front team began to slowly approach the city.

The defenders of the city immediately responded, the crossbowmen returned to their positions, and countless crossbow arrows were condescendingly aimed at the battlefield below the city. It is conceivable that once the siege bandits enter the attack range of the city, they will be overwhelmed with arrows. The first wave of blows is always the most ferocious and brutal, and the first wave of attackers is also the most difficult to survive.

However, when the opponent's formation approached two hundred paces away, the defenders at the head of the city suddenly realized that something was wrong. In the bright morning sun, the situation below was clear at a glance, and everyone saw the first wave of men used by the bandits to fight the front, it was not the bandits' apologists at all, it was a phalanx of four or five thousand unarmed sect members. Not only are they unarmed, but they are also some gray-haired old men with rickety bodies. They walked hand in hand and in rows towards the city, muttering something in unison from their leaky mouths.

This is exactly the viciousness of Hai Dongqing, he knows that the first wave of attacks will inevitably cause heavy casualties, and he doesn't want to let the 25,000 cathars he managed to piece together be sent to death, so he let these elderly members of the Holy Elders Regiment go to be cannon fodder. This will put great psychological pressure on the other party, do they dare to do anything to these defenseless old people? If they dare to do so, they will be condemned by their conscience and will be scourged on the pillar of moral shame. If they don't dare to make a move, then the Holy Elders will rush to the city without hindrance, although they can't attack the city, they can complete a mission, that is what Hai Dongqing wants to achieve.

"Shameless, shameless. This old dog is not a man, he is not a man. If you want to attack a city, you will attack it openly, what is this? Sending these old men and women to take the lead as cannon fodder is too vicious and inhumane. ”

Guo Kun looked at the group of old people in the city who didn't know what they were doing after being brainwashed by ignorance, except for scolding, he didn't know what to do.

Lin Jue also frowned and groaned, in Lin Jue's heart, on the battlefield, all enemies are enemies, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he has a reason to be killed. However, having said that, in the face of this situation, Lin Jue couldn't convince himself to regard these old men who had a hard time walking as enemies. If you do something to these people, the sense of conscience and moral guilt will be extremely strong, and it can become a stain for the rest of your life.

Not only Guo Kun and Lin Jue, but all the defenders at the head of the city were very conflicted in their hearts, and their hands pulling the bows were unconsciously put down, and the crossbows they were holding. The bow also moved away unconsciously. They didn't know what to do, and even if the official gave the order, they didn't know whether to shoot at this group of old and unarmed old men. This is the most basic reaction of every person with a conscience.

"What to do? Fuck it, hell alive. Guo Kun turned his head to look at Lin Juedao.

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Don't do it yet, let's see what they want to do." They can't storm the city, let them climb the ladder they may not be able to climb up, and look. ”

Guo Kun frowned and nodded, he could only wait and see.

Everyone watched as thousands of old men slowly approached under the city walls. A few feet beyond the city wall was a moat, which was originally a moat and dried up because there was no living water, and only some muddy water at the bottom. It had been dug a little deeper not long ago, and the bottom was covered with wooden spikes as a barrier against enemy attacks. The march of the Old Order was blocked by the trench, and they had to stop on the side of the trench. The crowd in the rear followed, and all the people were blocked by the side of the trench.

Everyone in the city suddenly felt that this scene was a little funny, what did these old guys do when they rushed to the city with great momentum? A trench stopped them all, and it was up to them to see what they were to do.

The elders of the Holy Elders were in a panic for a moment, and suddenly they all began to move, and they began to pick up stones, clods, trees, dead trees, and other things on the ground, and carried them to the trench with their robes, and then poured them in. Thousands of people worked together, but it was also a spectacular scene.

The defenders at the head of the city suddenly realized that the purpose of these old guys was to fill in the trenches and open the way for the rear soldiers and horses to attack. This thing is really angry and funny, these old guys are really blinded by lard, and they are desperately driven by the cult, even if it is such a meager strength, they have to contribute. The terrible nature of cults in controlling people's minds can be seen from this.

However, it is not easy to fill in the trenches, and if the trenches are not filled with a large number of sandbags and rocks, how much can they be used by these old men to pick them up. Not to mention the fact that there were so many stones and clods on the ground under the city for them to pick up. After four or five thousand old men turned around a few times, the ground near the left was slippery, and even a piece of turf was gone. However, the few passages in the trench were filled with less than half a foot of mud and stone.

Guo Kun couldn't help but shout down: "Don't be busy, let's leave quickly, we are already very polite to you." Why do you believe in the temptations of cults? Isn't it good to stay at home and care for the elderly? It's unbelievable. ”

The old men of the Holy Elders Regiment under the city ignored it, and still looked for soil and rocks in circles, and some even lay on the ground and picked the hard soil on the ground with their hands. However, this is a completely futile act.

At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo in the camp of the bandits in the rear sounded, and the white-robed saints appeared ghostly, the drums beat and the carols sounded. All the cultists on the battlefield were prostrate on the ground. For the hour of prayer and chanting had come. The Holy Father increased the number of prayers to twelve, and every hour was to be prayed, and the same scene had been seen many times by the defenders of the city.

"The Holy Father is great, and Ze is heaven and earth. I teach sisters, share in salvation. The body of the crippled body, the dedication of the Holy Father, the soul of the crippled body, the clouds are honored. Enjoy eternal life, eternal bliss, the suffering of the world will never be again, and the pain of the world will never be gone. The name of dedication, praised up and down, Ze is remembered by future generations. Ahu, that Acri, Baba Ah, Ake Ababay yelled. ”

The saints sang a new tune, praying twelve times a day, and it was naturally inappropriate to always sing the same song, so Hai Dongqing asked the musicians and literati to compose a few more tunes for the saints to sing. The content is different, some are singing praises of virtue, some are about loyalty, some are about dedication, some are about sacrifice, in short, they are all brainwashing odes. From the content point of view, this song is an ode to the dedication of the people.

The carols were heard, and the old men of the Holy Order prostrated themselves on the ground beside the trench, prostrating themselves to the Holy Father, and prostrating themselves in prayer. These people had difficulty even falling to their knees, but they showed great piety.

As the prayer time passed, the old people helped each other to their feet, their faces glowing with a strange red light, and each prayer seemed to inject them with life power. And this time, it seems to be even more special. They soon gathered together, and began to talk and seem to argue and quarrel, shouting and shoving in a mess.

Lin Jue and the others in the city watched these old guys making a fuss below, not knowing what was going on, not knowing what they were going to do. But suddenly, I saw a white-haired old man rushing out of the crowd, shouting loudly: "Holy Father, lead the old man to the temple to enjoy happiness!" ”

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the old man rushed to the side of the trench and leaped forward, and fell into the trench a little deep, and rolled like a broken bag, until he rolled into the muddy water, and was pierced by spikes.

The defenders at the head of the city screamed in surprise, they didn't understand what was going on, but they saw the shouts of 'Holy Father's greatest' in the people under the city. The members of the Old Order rushed to the side of the trench and jumped down, tumbling into the trench.

"Ahh This...... Are these people crazy? What does this do? Guo Kun exclaimed in astonishment.

Lin Jue frowned and said coldly: "Poor and pathetic, this is the case with people who are bewitched, they have completely lost themselves. They wanted their corpses to fill the trenches and make it easier for the bandits to attack the city, and they were indeed insane. Abominable, pitiful, pathetic, lamentable, hateful. ”

Guo Kun suddenly realized, looked carefully, and sure enough. The places where these old men jumped into the trenches were the right places for them to fill in the earth and rocks. Since there was nothing left to pick up, they decided to use their bodies as earth and stones to fill the trenches. Shicai's prayer and carol sang about self-sacrificing dedication, which also played a role in fueling the flames.

"Bang bang bang!" One by one, the members of the Order jumped into the trench, and those who fell at first fell to their deaths, for the height of the foot and the spikes at the bottom of the trench would kill them instantly. Later, the one who jumped down would not die for a while, and was crushed by the people who jumped in above, and let out a terrible cry. Like a ghost crying, like a wolf howling. Many people don't want to die before they die, but they are pressed by other people's arms and legs, and they can't move at all, crying and screaming, and they are miserable.

In this way, the dazed congregational completed the suicide attack that they were capable of. Whether you can go up to the Sky Temple and enjoy the blessings, no one knows. What you can know is the layers of corpses in the trench in front of you, the wailing and screaming of the dying and dying, like a terrifying scene like hell on earth.

Once the human spirit is controlled, or how terrible it is to go astray, how crazy it will be, these members of the Holy Elder Order today have given everyone the best explanation.
