Chapter 1316 Easterners Need to Get Smart
Can't you just stop apologizing all the time?
Okay, just cut off their heads.
"You piece of trash, get out of here! After this battle is over, my Northern Royal Family will settle accounts with you Eastern lackeys!"
"Thank you for the mercy of the Northern True Royal Family. This servant and the entire East will serve the Eastern Desert with utmost loyalty!" Dong Miecheng said devoutly, crawling back on his knees for several meters before daring to stand up, mount his horse, and await orders.
The tens of thousands of eastern cavalrymen just watched, their faces showing no resentment or humiliation.
Jiang Dalang's guess was indeed correct; Dongmo had a complete set of skills for subduing people through mental torture.
Chi Ling, the son of General Chi of Tianmang Prefecture, was forced to work for the Eastern Desert and harm General Liang after suffering such torture to subdue him; that's why he showed a relieved smile when he was killed.
"Pah, you dog slave!" Bei Qide spat at Dongmie City, his face full of disgust, feeling that the air around him was polluted by the Eastern slaves because of Dongmie City's proximity.
Then, thinking of the predecessors of the Easterners—the Mountain People—I felt a pang of regret: otherwise, the Eastern Desert could have had hundreds of thousands of Mountain People soldiers.
“The lowly mountain people hate us for changing their race and customs, and have completely surrendered to the Wei court. Now they are helping Jiang Dalang fight us.”
"By the way, don't worry too much. Although the Wei army looks large, there are only tens of thousands of actual Wei soldiers. The rest are all mountain people."
“They haven’t received any military training; they’re just a bunch of filler. We’re sure to win!” Bei Qide said quickly, trying to persuade the 30,000 Dongmo soldiers to fight the Wei army head-on.
We can't run away, we have to fight, and we have to win, otherwise he and the entire North will lose face!
Bei Qidewei said, "If that's the case, then let's fight to the death! Heroes of the Eastern Desert tribes, listen to my command! Prepare to dismember Liang Wei and serve the Eastern Desert!"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Wei, who cuts through grain, is loyal to the Eastern Desert!"
The voices of 30,000 people resounded through the sky.
And the one leading the charge was still: "East Extinction City, your chance to serve the Eastern Desert has come! Charge forward, draw the enemy in, and the true royal family will vindicate you and bestow honor upon you. Your families and clansmen will all receive the treatment of true citizens!"
Good heavens, that's right. Only after dying for the Eastern Desert can the people of the East exchange their merits for one or two True Citizen statuses.
In other words, they are not considered true citizens of the Eastern Desert yet; they will only be considered citizens if they die for the Eastern Desert.
But people in the East don't see anything wrong with it; they think it's perfectly normal, that's how it should be.
Dong Miecheng was in tears. He stretched his hand out into the air, made a series of scribbling gestures, and then choked out, "Eastern people of the Eastern Desert, listen to my command! Charge forward to draw the attack of the grain-producing Wei, assist the true royal family in the battle, be loyal to the Eastern Desert, become true citizens, and the Eastern Desert will surely win forever!"
No, young man, you do all this?
Can't you use your brain for a second and point the knife at these bastards?
Dongmiecheng declared that this was unacceptable, stating that the slave laborers of the East were guilty and should die for the true royal family and the true people.
???
Okay, then go to hell. Goodbye.
"...Serve the Eastern Desert with utmost loyalty and become true citizens!" Tens of thousands of people from the East shouted in unison, expressing their most fervent loyalty.
Damn, are they putting on a big show?
Bai Baihu said he didn't have time to watch your opera performance.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
A 50-pound burning flint, like a meteorite, came crashing down from the sky and slammed into the group of idiots.
In an instant, men and horses fell, their limbs and heads smashed, resulting in heavy casualties.
Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
The enemy's drums thundered in the Eastern Desert. Bei Qidewei shouted, "Eastern heroes, charge! The rest of the Eastern Desert cavalry, retreat! Withdraw out of the grain supply range!" "Retreat! Withdraw out of the grain supply range first!"
"Easterners, don't run! Charge forward! This is your destiny! If you dare disobey, all the people of the East will become food! Do you want to be food?!"
People from the East are a bit confused: Don't we in the East offer a batch of meat and grain to the True Royal Family and the God of September every year?
They even said that being able to become food was a lucky thing, so why are the real royals now saying that being food is a punishment for cowardice?
Which statement is correct?
Oh no, the Eastern lackeys are starting to get smart; we need to get them to serve us faithfully as soon as possible!
"Dongmiecheng, take your troops and buy the True Royal Family of the Eastern Desert a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, our True Royal Family will come to rescue you. Hold on!"
After Bei Qidewei finished speaking, he ignored the lackeys in the east and led more than 20,000 cavalrymen to gallop wildly towards the back of the main road.
The warhorse of Dongmiecheng was startled and ran away. He fell off his horse, his head still buzzing. It took him a while to come to his senses. He then ordered his confidants: "Wave my Eastern Army Flag! Eastern heroes, assemble! Form a human wall and block the grain supply for the true royal family for a quarter of an hour!"
"In a quarter of an hour, we will become heroes and true citizens. Our descendants will no longer be bullied when they join the tribes of true kings and true citizens, and will be able to stand on equal footing with them! Hold on!"
Well, Dongmiecheng is really loyal and obedient.
Unfortunately, they were loyal to the wrong people... No matter how loyal they were, the people of the Eastern Desert still looked down on them. To the people of the Eastern Desert, their deaths for the Eastern Desert were nothing more than the death of a group of slaves.
A servant should die for his master; he has only done his duty, it is only right and proper. Why do you want a reward? That is where you servants are wrong.
But some of the eastern soldiers seemed to have finally come to their senses, shouting, "Young royals, we're all from the Eastern Desert, why should we die for them? We should stay with them!"
Dong Miecheng couldn't answer that question. All he knew was that generations of people in the East had been loyal in this way, and that his grandfather and father, Dong Mangfu, had taught him the same thing.
As for taking the second path?
That's something only traitors do; they'll be punished even after death. You absolutely cannot leave!
"Form ranks with our bodies to repel the attack of Liang Wei, aid the true royal family, and serve the Eastern Desert with utmost loyalty!" Dong Miecheng shouted.
"Form a human defense line to meet the attack from the grain-producing Wei..."
The attack was like fifty-pound flints and a deluge of arrows; if you dared to meet it, you would be doomed.
You'd better run for your lives.
But they didn't run away; they wanted to take the attack with their bare hands.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Both men and horses suffered heavy losses. The horses were frightened and ran away, trampling the people in the east. The 10,000 cavalrymen of Dongmie City were in complete chaos.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained down from the sky, and when Dongmiecheng looked up, he could only see tiny black dots.
Ding ding ding ding!
The arrow struck his armor, but he did not die.
Puff puff puff puff!
But the armor of the others in the east was not as good as his, a young member of the royal family; many were just sheepskin armor. When a volley of arrows came down, they were riddled with holes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Eastern cavalrymen fell to the ground one after another, blood flowing from their leather armor, staining the land red.
Dong Miecheng was not yet twenty years old, and among these cavalrymen were a thousand of his personal guards, who were his relatives and childhood friends.
In the blink of an eye, countless people were killed or injured, and his mind went blank even more.
Bei Qide and the others looked down on him, saying, "Useless! He didn't even put up a fight back before being blasted to death by the grain army!"
"Don't be angry. The East has been useless for a long time." Bei Qidewei was smart enough not to curse, but instead had a messenger shout: "You did a good job with the young royal family of Dongmie City. Your order now is to prepare poison. When the Liangwei bastards arrive, use poison to kill them and be loyal to the Eastern Desert!"
