Siege, Easterners' Revenge
Chapter 1412 Siege, Easterners' Revenge
The generals, soldiers, and men who were just there to make up the numbers in the east all questioned: "If we are people from the Eastern Desert, why do the other tribes of the Eastern Desert take pleasure in bullying us?"
"Even the slaves of Wei who died under the imperial decree didn't suffer as much as we did!"
"At least the owners of grain depots won't sacrifice their contracted servants alive. Even if they want to beat a servant to death, they have to give a good reason, otherwise the government will intervene!"
"If a servant does something wrong and the master no longer wants him, he will mostly just sell him off. He can't sell him to a brothel, because that would be a sign of heartlessness and cruelty. At most, the master will sell the servant he doesn't want to a remote mountain village!"
"But how did the Eastern Desert treat us Easterners?"
"They want us to happily sacrifice our family members and clansmen, even live sacrifices, dismembering and roasting them alive, and consider it an honor to receive a piece of grain or meat from our own clan!"
"You beasts! Even beasts don't eat their own kind, but what are we doing?!"
"Are we happy when we eat meat? We're not happy, we're disgusting. We're forced to eat it from a young age. We have to smile and give thanks before we eat, and we have to smile and give thanks again after we eat... Ugh, even wild animals don't live like this!"
The Easterners went from questioning Dongmangfu to being tormented by the evil deeds they had committed since childhood, shouting, yelling, kneeling down, pulling their hair, and crying bitterly.
"Get up and obey orders, or we'll shoot you and make you our food for tonight!" Dongmangfu roared, but he was weak and knew he couldn't rouse his tribesmen.
Sure enough, the Easterners went even crazier: "Come on, come and kill us all! Anyway, the Easterners are almost extinct!"
"Bah! Dongmangfu, you beastly lackey of the Eastern Desert! Your arm has been cut off by the Eastern Desert people, yet you still remain loyal to them? You are even more despicable than the Liangwei people!"
"In the Battle of Dingmangtai, our Easterners were the main force and we won. But because the Wei soldiers were killed in the end, the battle turned into a Pyrrhic victory. You, the dignified tribal king, were punished by having your arm cut off. You are a meritorious general, yet you are treated like this. Do you still accept it? Do you have any dignity as a king?!"
"Haha, what dignity does he have? His queen and concubines have all been slept with by the Eastern Desert people. How many of his children who are still alive look like Eastern Desert people? He even considers it an honor that his children have mixed hair. He is what Liang Wei calls a pimp, the most despicable and undignified thing in the world!"
Good heavens, the gossip in the East is outrageous!
Taking advantage of the internal strife among the eastern people, Commander Gan and his men split into three teams and sneaked towards the enemy's side to rescue the captured Wei people.
I never expected to hear such juicy gossip.
They were stunned.
A soft hissing sound, the sound of the enemy troops in the east being felled.
The sound of ropes being cut swiftly echoed.
"Shh, we are Wei soldiers, come with us." The soldiers of each suicide squad covered the frightened Wei civilians and dragged them toward the nearest tunnel entrance.
Half of the rescued Wei civilians were in a daze, while the other half were conscious, sobbing and pointing to the Wei civilians further away, signaling to the Wei army: save them first.
When you're trying to escape, you don't have time to listen to their nonsense.
"Wei soldiers, enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The eastern soldiers in the distance noticed the abnormality and shouted urgently, instinctively firing arrows to kill the enemy.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
It is unknown whether the enemy's arrows hit the Wei army, but the Wei army's weapons blew up the enemy troops in two places.
"Ahhh! It hurts, it hurts so much, kill me!" The enemy soldiers, half-cooked from the explosion, screamed in agony as Dongfu Town once again became a battlefield.
"Quickly, continue bombarding the front section of the enemy's right flank; charge, rescue the Wei people on the right flank!" Commander Gan gave the order, his figure moving like lightning as he charged towards the enemy on the right flank, swoosh, puff, puff!
In the blink of an eye, there were four strikes: two were left and right slashes, one was a straight stab to the enemy's neck, and the last strike was a throwing knife that pierced the enemy's eye socket.
Commander Da Gan rushed forward, pulled out the dagger stuck in the eye socket of the enemy soldier, and with a hiss, slashed horizontally as he pulled out the dagger, killing the enemy soldier who was attacking him with a single blow to the throat!
Whoosh, boom!
He immediately threw out a fireball, which injured the enemy soldiers who were attacking from the left.
The troops assembled from the east: "..."
Whoosh, boom!
You're all just standing there dumbfounded; if you stand there for even half a moment, you'll die. The small, sharp weapon blasted and injured enemy soldiers within a two-meter radius. Commander Gan single-handedly carved out a vacuum in the air.
With a whoosh, the sound of ropes being cut rang out. Three groups of Wei soldiers had rescued three groups of Wei civilians, a total of three hundred people, and were escorting them back to the entrance of the tunnel in the ruins.
"Don't save me, I'm crippled. Go save the others who still want to live... Junior Min, he wants to live to avenge his family. Go save him, go save him, he's right ahead."
“Save Miss Su Yan. She is a heroine. She has helped many virtuous women. Save her, not an old woman like me. I even cursed Miss Su Yan. I am not human and do not deserve to be saved.”
"We rescued them based on distance. That place is too far away, and there are too many soldiers from the Eastern Desert... You also have value. Tell the people in the city about your experiences and arouse their fighting spirit. Shut up and go! Don't dawdle and harm the Wei soldiers!" The Grand Commander of the Luo Army shouted, pulling and chasing them towards the entrance of the ruins tunnel.
Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
"Enemy attack! Western cavalry, charge! Save the face of the West!" west Yan hurriedly gave the order, spurred his horse and led his troops into Dongfu Town.
But fearing a lightning trap, he only rushed a dozen meters into the town before stopping, not daring to run any further. He ordered the other western generals: "Charge! Shoot arrows and kill them all, so that the Wei soldiers who came to the grain supply will not return!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As enemy arrows hurtled towards them, Su Yan and the other captured Wei civilians, who were still conscious, stepped forward to shield the Wei army with their bodies.
Puff puff puff puff!
Without armor, the large arrow pierced directly through the bodies of Su Yan and the others.
"Ah, Miss Su Yan!"
"Junior Min!"
"Little Uncle!"
"Mr. Qian!"
Those who recognized Wei Min, who had been shot by an arrow, cried out and ran towards them.
"Run... Don't drag the Wei army down with you!"
"Tell the people in the city not to surrender, fight to the death..." He died before he could finish shouting.
But some were still alive, and they were reattached, shouting, "Surrender is what will happen to us!"
"Run, run, get into the city alive, and tell the world about the enemy's atrocities..."
Upon hearing this, the three hundred Wei citizens who had been saved had no choice but to turn around and run towards the capital city.
"This way, the tunnel entrance is this way, don't run around!" Wei soldiers hurriedly pulled them back.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A new wave of arrows arrived, this time hitting not only the captured Wei civilians, but also the so-called eastern troops.
"Wu'er!"
"Elder Shi!"
"Uncle Cao!" The Eastern soldier was shocked and collapsed, rushing to his fallen relatives and friends.
"Don't shoot arrows! Westerners, please don't shoot arrows! We Easterners are still here! Please!" An Easterner knelt down and kowtowed.
Cao Dong'er laughed loudly: "Look, this is how those beasts from the Eastern Desert treat us! We are definitely not from the Eastern Desert, and no one would treat their own kind like this!"
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!
A series of earth-shattering explosions sent the western cavalry flying, throwing the entire battlefield into chaos.
But the Wei soldiers felt it wasn't chaotic enough, so they shouted...
"Eastern brothers, your chance for revenge has come! Pick up your weapons and fight those Western bastards!"
"Regardless of who your ancestors were, it's a fact that you were bullied by the various tribes of the Eastern Desert. Even pigs know to fight back when they're bullied, are you even less than pigs?!"
"Take up your weapons, kill the beasts of the West, and avenge you Easterners!"
"Kill! Eastern tribesmen, take up your weapons and kill these western beasts who shot our people!" The Easterners went completely mad as they watched their loved ones being shot. At this moment, all they wanted was to seek justice for their friends and family.
