Chapter 772: The Cavalry Arrives (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Many times, surrender is also a luxury, especially on the verge of imminent collapse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Several voices of surrender were heard, but these people did not give up resisting, because they wanted to negotiate terms before surrendering.
But the people of Middle-earth did not give them such an opportunity - in fact, most of the Middle-earth cultivators did not understand Ivan at all.
Seeing that those who wanted to surrender were mercilessly killed, among the remaining living people, some people shouted, threw away their weapons and ran away.
This run has caused an avalanche effect, and what is especially bad is that these people in the west of the city are simply a rabble, for their own interests, they can resist desperately, but once the overall situation collapses, they run faster than anyone else.
A well-trained army, once it collapses, is like a mountain of defeat, let alone these guys.
The situation in the west of the city was settled, and there was a faint sound of thunder outside the east of the city, and then the earth seemed to tremble.
Even in such a chaotic situation, there are masters who notice this anomaly.
Someone even shouted, "Cavalry, a large number of cavalry...... The main force of the White Wolf Bandit has arrived!"
The person who said this was in standard Ivan dialect or with a Great Petersburg accent.
The originally noisy city became more and more chaotic, and as the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, even ordinary people felt the shaking of the ground, and countless people screamed and ran for their lives.
There were still a considerable number of small groups, in the midst of such chaos, extinguishing the lights, guarding the door firmly, trying not to attract the attention of the bandits, waiting for possible rescue.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city, feeling the shaking of the ground, and hearing the countless screams and running sounds outside, coupled with the smoke from the burning of houses, these people couldn't bear it anymore and decided to take advantage of the chaos to flee for their lives.
A large number of white wolf's horse team arrived, and if they didn't run, they couldn't run.
These small organized forces went out of the house, and once they encountered someone of unknown origin, they directly stepped forward to fight.
At first, they may not want to kill, but they will suffer heavy losses when they encounter adventurers who take advantage of the fire, or Middle-earthers who sneak up on them.
If you lose a few times in a row, the Buddha will have to kill people in anger, not to mention Iwan, who has a bad temper.
Of course, it is also important to note that if you don't move quickly, you are likely to be trapped in the city, either killed or burned to death.
At this time, anyone with a blade in their hands will choose to fight their way out.
The town within a radius of four or five miles was full of firelight and shouts of killing, as well as terrible screams and loud curses, and it was like hell on earth.
The worst place should belong to the south of the city, where there are military camps and the city lord's mansion, and many people rush to the city at the risk of death, just to get the protection of the army or the city lord's mansion.
But this place has long been beaten to pieces by Li Yongsheng and Gongsun Weiming, and they have set fires, but these two places are castles, stone buildings, and the rooms inside are badly burned, but the outside is not easy to see.
The people who rushed to the rescue rushed in, and there were just some remaining soldiers who wanted to rush out, and when the two sides met, they had to fight, and when everyone found that there were acquaintances in the other party's crowd, they temporarily stopped communicating.
When they communicated and planned to rush out of this fire, a large number of people rushed in outside, and this time, let alone fighting, just stepping on it could kill many people.
On the other hand, there are also Middle-earthers who insidiously sneak up on them, which makes no one want to trust anyone else.
It took a long time for the chaos before those shrewd people came up with an idea, and they shouted loudly, "Don't fight, don't fight, no one can go if you fight again, go through the south gate, get out of the city, out of the city!"
The vicinity of the military camp and the city lord's mansion has become the place where Smuk has the highest concentration of casualties, more than 2,000 people have died, and the most speechless thing is that hundreds of them were trampled to death, and the scene was terrible.
It is precisely because of these two hellish places on earth that what happened tonight is defined as the "Smuk Massacre", not the "Smuk Riot" or something like that.
However, it was not so easy for them to get out of the south gate, because with the arrival of the White Wolf Bandit Horse Team, the outside of the city was also completely chaotic!
The Middle-earthites placed a dozen men outside the city, and also tried to set fires and cause chaos, but the results were not very good, for the simple reason that the outside of the city was much larger than the inside.
This mere dozen people, desperately creating chaos, will not do much, even if they release a large number of cattle and horses.
The outside of the city is too big, and there are too few of them, and the people who live temporarily outside the city generally gather in gangs, and when they encounter danger, their first reaction is to form a formation to protect themselves.
This is similar to the situation in the west of the city, if a small force decides to defend to the death, this point is really not enough for the people of Middle-earth.
At this moment, a large number of horsemen rushed from the darkness, and the sound of horses' hooves frightened them to death.
Some larger forces can gather hundreds of people, and all of them pull people out, putting on a desperate appearance, betting that the white wolf will not easily gnaw this hard bone.
It's not the best option, but it's definitely not the worst either, and anyone who knows the rules of the prairie knows that when horse bandits are plundering, they usually don't choose to go on a hard hit at first.
Horse bandits are also human beings, and there are many targets to be robbed, so why should they grab those that are difficult to rob? First rob the easy ones, how to deal with these hard bones, and then slowly discuss them.
Just as they thought, when the bandits saw that the formation was too large, they chose to avoid it, roaring past, and robbing the seemingly small team.
There is no shortage of good players in the small team, but the people who charge the horse bandits are really terrible, and when they see the battle formation composed of five or six priests, they dare not hesitate to crash over, and before the horses arrive, the people fly up first and kill them.
Nima, this is the great knight charging into battle! Iwan, who witnessed this scene, was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
The great knight in the eyes of the Ivan people is the real person that the people of Middle-earth say, the real person rushes into battle, who is not afraid?
The Huyan scholars who rushed into the battle were also sighing secretly, no way, I can't do it if I don't rush into battle, looking at the cavalry that has come more than a thousand, nine out of nine can't fight, and it is already very good to be able to ride on the horse safely without falling off.
The cavalry he brought with him were all Rouran slaves who were rescued from the Red Valley, and these slaves were the masters who lived day by day, and they worked extremely hard every day, but the food was not enough to satisfy their stomachs, and they were mining with their lives overdrawn.
Some people often fall to the ground and never get up again.
Iwan turned a blind eye to this, inferior slaves, died and died, if they were fed, would they have the strength to rebel?
To put it mildly, even the people of Middle-earth treat prisoners like this, even if it is a national prisoner, it is impossible for you to get fed and cause trouble, you must starve.
If you can't stand it, then you deserve to be out of luck - just try not to starve to death.
And Iwan is even more so, and you deserve to starve to death!
Therefore, the rescued Rouran slaves, one by one, are weak and can't help the wind, and they may all fall after blowing a breath of air.
However, Huyan scholars really didn't have time to hesitate, and after slaughtering the soldiers and administrators of the guards, he immediately gathered the slaves and issued an order: report each other, if you are not from Rouran, die!
Of course, those Rouran people who really didn't even have the strength to ride horses could only stay in the Red Valley.
There are not many Rouran people who want to come to Smuk, only three or four hundred, and they already know that they have been saved by their clansmen, but ...... I really don't have the strength to fight Smuk.
Even if we recuperate for two days before we go, it's easy to discuss, we can't fight with this strength.
Huyan scholar deserves to know the Rouran people very well, and he made another decision, the Rouran people who stayed, drink broth and milk, you are not in good health, you can't eat more, otherwise you will die.
Come with me to fight Smuk, one person and a half catty of mutton, and you can drink three sips of wine!
It's not that I don't have wine and mutton, but I can't let you eat too much.
Then he gathered 1,200 men.
So he left four Middle-earthers to guard the camp, and came with the others dead.
On the way here, while handing out wine and meat, he ordered, if you don't have the strength, don't just shoot casually, just pretend, the most important thing is ...... Don't fall off the horse!
There are a few Rouran people who claim to be warriors, saying that half a catty of mutton is too little, not enough to recover, give us a lot of meat, and we will try to kill.
As a result, a Rouran warrior, who was still a low-level cultivator, fell directly under the horse after eating three legs of mutton in a row...... He didn't fall to death, but he died, and his belly was broken!
In fact, it is very close from the Red Valley to Smuk City, only a dozen miles away, this guy ate too fast, less than five miles, he ate three legs of mutton, and died alive.
The other Rouran people were also within five miles, and they ate up the food of their subordinates, but the Huyan scholar told them that they would not be given any more food before dawn.
With such a group of people, the scholar's pass began to trample on the outside of the city, and he didn't want to gnaw those hard bones, but he really didn't dare to gnaw them...... Once the truth is revealed, it is likely to lead to the failure of the entire plan.
There are also strange things in the Rouran people, especially a few mine tyrants and dozens of little brothers who follow the mine tyrants, who usually eat a little more food, and today they also asked for more food, and they dared to try to harass those hard bones.
However, around the horse team, there are also Middle-earth cultivators to maintain order, and they are also protecting these Rouran slaves.
These Middle-earth cultivators were chosen to attack the Red Valley, and they were all soft-spoken, and they restrained these people not to go too far.
It would be bad if it provoked the opposition of these hard-nosed bones.
It turned out that their worries were a bit unnecessary, seeing that there were more than one real person rushing into battle, Iwan was already stupid - when did the power of the white wolf become so strong?
(The third watch is here, there will be no single chapter today, how much can the monthly pass go up?)
