992

The next morning, on the outskirts of Kyoto, which had fallen silent, white fog filled the air, except for the potholed ground that had been bombed in the thunder god bombardment, and the charred black land that had been burned by the fire, and it seemed to calm down again.

Having withstood the heavy blows of yesterday's battle, the Ottoku people no longer dared to arrogantly pull their troops outside the city of Kyoto, but hid behind the strong city walls, and watched the movements of the falcon army on the opposite side with a trembling gaze.

Since this morning, the Falcon army on the opposite side has not stopped, and the groups of Jude captives who have been jumped up by ropes are like a show, lined up in dozens of large and small queues in front of the Falcon army camp, and there are a large number of people who are black, and the faces of these captives are very depressed, judging from the speed of some faltering movements, after the great rout of yesterday's battle, many of them are completely relying on two small short legs to confront the cavalry captured by the falcon army,

The result was obvious, nearly 100,000 captives, almost all of whom were captured by the search Falcon cavalry, in order to prevent these captives equal to the number of Falcon troops from making a commotion, on both sides of these Roude captives, countless neatly arranged crossbow phalanxes were waiting, and then the attack line composed of trebuchets and Thor,

On the high ridge, the falcon battle flag, which represents the myth of invincibility, flutters in the morning breeze, and the golden winged falcon on it, with its sharp talons bent and wings spread, the falcon eyes woven with gold thread are dazzling and lifelike under the light of the sun rising on the distant horizon, while on the opposite side of the falcon battle flag, the Nord battle flag on the wall of Nord Kyoto looks so lazy that it seems that it can't be refreshed at all

The 40,000 Falcon Cavalry lined up like a black cloud covering the ground behind these captives, hundreds of siege engines were also being busily assembled, and the heralds running back and forth and countless mobilized troops indicated that the Falcon Army was about to launch a major attack on Goutoku Kyoto

"This is for us to use the enemy as cannon fodder!"

The Goude captives looked at each other, and they all saw worried and hesitant expressions on each other's faces, they had long heard that the brutal Kugit had the custom of driving the captives to open the way to attack the city, but they didn't expect the Falcon Army to have such a habit, but think about it, the Falcon Dynasty annexed the northern steppe region, and there are many Kujits among the current commanders, and it is normal to use this cruel tactic

It was not that no one tried to escape, but after hundreds of captives were shot through their bodies by countless clusters of arrows, and suffered a torrential rain of stone-throwing projectiles, and finally shattered like broken sacks, and finally fell to the open ground a hundred meters away from the Kyoto of Ryoku in a sad manner, the captives knew that what was waiting for them was a death trap

Among the hundreds of captives, only a few or three people were lucky enough to run to the location of the gate of Kyoto, but they were greeted by the closed gate of Kyoto, with a dull metallic luster, just like the color of this world, so cold and ruthless, and the Nord defenders above watched like this,

"Open the door, you cowards!"

The captives jumped off the moat in grief and anger, swam across the river in the icy water, climbed the bank close to the city wall, and slammed the closed iron gate of Kyoto with his hand, and the rapid shouts in his mouth made the archers on the city wall turn their heads to look at the squadron leader behind them

"No one is allowed to open the door, there may be spies of the Falcon Army inside!" Facing the complicated gaze of the soldiers, the squadron leader ordered with an embarrassed face, "This is an order from above, in order to deal with the spies of the Falcon Army to destroy the city gate, Prince Yagfeton gave a death order, unless the prince orders it, no one is allowed to open the city gate of Kyoto, otherwise, the whole team will be beheaded!"

"Then what are they going to do? just watch? Let the Falcon Army take them back!" the Nord archers asked in a loud scold, their red eyes bloodshot, they were their companions, the same Gouds as they were, and just like that, looking at the desperate howls of these captives, the soldiers felt as if their hearts were being grabbed by something...,

"They shouldn't have run back...... "The Nord infantry squadron leader looked ugly, and finally gritted his teeth and raised his hand with determination, "All archers ready, target, city gate area, cover!"

"What!" said some of the archers, thinking that they had heard it wrong, and that covering the city gates was not the same as covering all the captives.

"Execute the order, if you don't want to be killed by those bastards who are coming!" Squadron Leader Nord said meaningfully as he looked at a group of law enforcement teams that were approaching not far away

"Heaven will forgive us for our mistakes, because we have no choice but to do so!" the squadron leader looked at the archers who were still deadlocked, and his face was about to cry

He could feel that the footsteps of the law enforcement team were getting closer and closer, and the long swords of those senior Rude soldiers in the law enforcement team had been drawn, these law enforcement teams were all cold-blooded guys, killing their own people more ruthlessly than killing the enemy, it seemed that as soon as this kind of position appeared, their target was their own people, and the law enforcement team of the Rude Army has always been known for its cruelty

Since yesterday's fiasco, in order to strengthen the control of the remaining troops, Prince Yagfeton brought his instincts as a conspirator into play, and he arranged a small law enforcement team in each flag regiment to monitor the abnormal movements of the various troops, especially strictly forbidden to talk about yesterday's fiasco in the battle, and if it was discovered, it would be immediately beheaded, let alone treat the prisoners who had escaped.

It is not the first time that they have been killed immediately without examination, and it is said that it is to prevent the Falcon Army from infiltrating Kyoto, but in fact, it is obvious that these captives are displeasing to the arrogant Royal Highness the Prince, as a sign of the humiliating battle, reminding him of his defeat at all times,

"Damn, shoot fast! Target, cover the gate area!" shouted the captain of the Odd infantry again, with all his strength, as if he was under his influence, or was really frightened by the word law enforcement team,

The archers on the city wall squinted their eyes, loosened the bowstring that had been tightened to the extreme, and collapsed! There was a shaking sound of grace, countless arrows poured like a white light curtain at the city gate, and there was a burst of shouting and scolding from below, and the archers couldn't bear to turn their heads after releasing the arrows, and they didn't even have the courage to look at the position they had just covered.

"Why...... Why kill us!"

The captives, who were feeling lucky that they had escaped, had expressions of disbelief on their faces, their eyes bulging as big as brass bells, and they looked at the cluster of arrows that pierced their bodies in disbelief.

Until the moment the corpse fell, they still couldn't believe that they would die at the hands of their own people, bright red blood mixed with shiny arrows, peeking through their backs, in front of the huge Kyoto city wall, the corpses of these soldiers were so insignificant, but so shocking

"A bunch of bastards, do you want to secretly communicate with the Falcon Army outside the city?" At this moment, a law enforcement team of 50 elite Ved Guardians rushed through the opposite passage, and one of the officers in the lead placed a chilling sword on the neck of the Nord infantry captain

"No, my lord!" The captain of the Odd infantry was so frightened by the long sword around his neck that his face turned pale, he pointed to the location of the city gate covered by the arrow cluster just now, and shouted hoarsely, "Don't believe it, we shot, really, we killed those traitors of the Wild Army, the spies of the Falcon Army, and killed them without hesitation, we are the most loyal warriors of Roude, and we are the supporters of His Royal Highness the Prince, how can we collude with the enemy!"

"Count yourself a little smart! If you were slower, I would definitely cut you with a sword" The officer of the law enforcement team withdrew his sword with a solemn face, and said in a vicious voice, "His Royal Highness's order, in order to prevent the spies of the Falcon Army from destroying the city gates, any captives who escape are regarded as enemies, and if they are discovered, they will be shot immediately, and next time, I don't want to see anyone hesitate! Don't blame us for being polite then!"

When the law enforcement team left, the Nord squadron leader on the city wall wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a pale face, "It's so dangerous, it's just a little bit, if you put it a little later, your head will be hung on the flagpole on the city wall, and the way it swings in the wind must be very ugly!"

The silent wind blew through the open field, and the scene that was just discovered at the gate of Kyoto made all the prisoners of Virtue turn pale and stunned, why? Why is this happening? The prisoners are all angry at what happened to those prisoners who died at the gate of the city, just to protect themselves, just to save their own face, do the people inside even want to kill their own people?

"Okay, take the captives back! In this case, there should be no possibility of a large-scale escape, if there is a scattered escape, send cavalry to capture them back" The fat man standing on the top of the hill put down the lookout glasses in his hand and instructed the generals behind him

"Your Majesty, what if these captives resist fiercely?" asked a Banner Commander of the Falcon Central Army seriously, 100,000 captives, this is definitely the largest number of one-time captives of the Falcon Army since the battle,

100,000 young adults, almost as much as the population of a medium-sized city, which can make many Falcon generals feel difficult, it is because of such a hidden danger that the fat man decided to personally choreograph this fratricidal drama, now it seems that the effect is not bad, the frightened Nord Kyoto defenders, really started to kill their own people

"Don't abuse them, but don't be too good either" The fat man rolled his eyes and said to the flag commander who asked the question, "Only one half-full lunch is served every day, and they are so hungry that their hands and feet are weak, you let them resist, and they have no strength to resist, if there is really someone who is disobedient, you can sue him, he can have a chance to escape back, but if he is killed by the defenders of Kyoto, don't blame us for not reminding him!"

"What does your majesty mean to let them go?" The fat man's words made most of the Central Army generals confused, the fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Continue tomorrow, I also want to see how many times those captives have to escape before they die!"
