Chapter 1413 The Siege: We Died Without Regret
Cao Dong'er had had enough. Because of his surname, Cao, his clan suffered the most. Before the war to destroy Wei even reached the northeastern province, his Cao clan was almost wiped out.
Cao Dong'er raised his long sword and ordered: "True heroes of the East, follow me, Cao Dong'er, the commander of a thousand soldiers, turn around and face the beasts of the Eastern Desert, and seek justice for our ancestors who have been bullied and killed for generations in the East!"
"I want nothing more, this battle is solely for justice!"
"We can't die a coward!"
In an attempt to create chaos, Cao Dong'er even ordered: "Release the grain to the Wei people and make this chaos even bigger!"
"Yes." Sure enough, some soldiers from the east obeyed the order and cut the ropes binding Wei Min.
The captured Wei civilians were all stunned, but soon some of them came to their senses and shouted, "Run towards the capital city! Run!"
"Stop! Stop! Don't listen to Cao Dong'er's instigation! You will kill the women and children of the East! You will cause the East to become extinct!" Dong Mangfu roared, his mouth was torn from shouting so loudly that blood came out of his throat.
"Yes, yes, our elderly, weak, women and children are still being held hostage behind the main army. If we let the Wei people escape ahead, what will happen to our families?"
Many people in the East are starting to shrink back again.
Cao Dong'er roared, "Then let our family die with us! It's better to die than for them to suffer inhumane conditions afterward!"
“I’ve visited my family. The elderly are treated like livestock, the women are forced into prostitution, and the children are used as food! How can anyone live a life that’s comparable to the tortures of hell? Kill them all! Kill them all! Die together today!”
Cao Dong'er roared and wailed, "Don't be pigs! Charge forward and kill the beasts of Dongmo to avenge ourselves!"
"Avenge myself!"
"Waaah, I've seen them, I've seen them, but I dare not save them. I can only kneel to the side and thank the people of Dongmo for bestowing pure-blooded offspring upon my family!"
Slap, slap, slap! The Eastern soldier slapped himself hard: "I'm not human, I'm worse than an animal... Retribution, retribution! This is the retribution for us Easterners who eat meat and grain!"
Seeing that the commotion ahead had become too great, Xi Yan had no choice but to risk spurring his horse forward for another dozen meters, his face contorted with rage, and roared, "Kill these traitors from the east to protect the hegemony of the Eastern Desert!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The western soldiers' arrows flew towards the eastern soldiers.
Thud thud thud thud thud, the Eastern soldiers, who were just there to make up the numbers and were only wearing breastplates or leather armor, were hit by arrows one after another.
Thump, thump, thump, thump—the sound of Easterners falling to the ground.
Thump thump thump thump, the sound of western cavalry charging and trampling the eastern soldiers.
"Ahhh!" The Easterners screamed silently upon seeing the tragic state of their companions.
"Take up your weapons, fight back, kill the beasts of the Eastern Desert, and avenge the East!" The Eastern soldiers no longer hesitated or feared, picked up their weapons, and used their battlefield skills to charge at the Western soldiers of the Eastern Desert.
Snap, snap, thud, thud—the most primal sounds of hunting rang out, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the area descended into complete chaos.
Commander Da Gan and the others: "..."
The rumors worked! The scheme to sow discord succeeded right before their eyes!
"Quickly save them, save as many as you can... Da Luo, you're in charge of getting Wei Min out of Dongfu Town, so they don't fall into the trap and get blown up."
"Go and inform the two centurions, Xiao Huang and A Zhong, to continue supporting us with their weapons and using a hit-and-run tactic against the enemy." Commander Gan quickly gave the order, and his soldiers immediately went to carry it out.
More and more captured Wei civilians were rescued amidst the chaos.
However, the enemy forces of the Eastern Desert were not to be trifled with. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Western King Xiqin Erqin hurriedly beat the drum and personally led the western army to charge into Dongfu Town.
"Slaughter! Leave no one or no animal alive in Dongfu Town! If any criminals in the east want to live, throw down your weapons, lie down on the ground, and await judgment!"
As soon as the Western King gave the order, the Western soldiers charged like wild beasts, hacking and slashing with their swords and firing wildly with their bows. In the blink of an eye, countless corpses lay scattered on the ground, most of them Easterners, since they outnumbered the captured Wei civilians and were positioned behind them.
However, many Wei civilians were also killed by a hail of arrows.
more importantly……
"Run! Wei army, run! There are too many enemy troops. You only have a few hundred men. You can't win... Don't worry about us, run! We've done our part. We won't die in vain!"
"Yes, run! Seeing you risk your lives to save us makes our deaths worthwhile. Go quickly, don't die for us!"
When their homeland was captured by the enemy, when their family and clansmen were slaughtered, and when they were taken prisoner, they hated the Wei army, blamed the court and the Wei army for their incompetence, and questioned why they didn't come to their rescue.
When they saw that the Wei army had risked their lives to save them, they felt relieved and now only wanted the Wei soldiers to survive so that they could kill as many enemy soldiers as possible for them in the final battle!
"Withdraw! Escort the rescued Wei people! Withdraw!" Commander Gan weighed the pros and cons and quickly gave the order.
The Wei soldiers were in great pain, but this was the best option. They immediately switched from offense to defense, retreating while shooting down enemy soldiers who were charging towards them.
Xiao Huang and A Zhong, the two centurions, were not idle either. They immediately came out of the tunnel entrance, set up small throwing devices, and aimed at the western troops.
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!
The people and horses were all familiar with each other, and the aroma of barbecue filled the air.
"Continue bombing the western troops. We can't let the eastern enemy die too quickly. We have to protect them and let them keep causing trouble!" Ah Zhong, the centurion, had a name that sounded honest and kind, but he was full of cunning ideas.
"Yes." The elite soldiers under his command immediately carried out the military order.
The wildly arrogant Western soldiers were bombarded ten times with sharp weapons, and tens of thousands of them were completely scattered, with several thousand killed or wounded.
Why is it so lethal?
Because they are densely packed.
"Hahaha, Heaven has eyes, it's helping our East!" Cao Dong'er laughed uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face, and then ordered: "Eastern heroes, kill the beasts of the Eastern Desert, and carve out a new world for yourselves!"
"Stop, stop..." Dongmangfu persistently urged the Easterners to continue being dogs.
Whoosh!
Cao Dong'er shot him with an arrow and roared, "Dong Mangfu, if you want to live a life of ignominy, take your personal guards and run back. You can even file a complaint against us. But don't interfere with us seeking justice for generations of people in the East!"
"Remember the achievements we have made for you!"
They were doomed, but they only wanted to use this bloody battle of rebellion to get what they deserved for the living Easterners.
What?
"Father, Father, what are you standing there for? Quickly order Cao Dong'er to be killed! Only by killing him can we atone for our crimes, otherwise our Eastern Kingdom will be wiped out today!" Dong Mangfu's two sons with mixed-colored hair came over to urge him.
"..." Dong Mangfu looked at their brown hair, deep-set eyes, high noses and high cheekbones, and thought about their backgrounds. He was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
"Hahaha!" Dongmangfu laughed to himself again, truly amused by his own life and by the fate of generations in the East.
Liang Wei is right. Even pigs know how to rebel, yet the people of the East have succumbed to this for generations.
Dong Mangfu took one last look at Cao Dong'er, then called to his mixed-haired sons: "Go, go back and report to the Fourth Prince that the bastard Liang Wei has sown discord and Cao Dong'er has been bewitched into rebellion. We beg the Fourth Prince to send troops to quell Cao Dong'er's rebellion!"
what?
The two sons with mixed-colored hair froze, nearly killed by stray arrows. They dared not linger any longer and hurriedly called to the guards protecting them: "Go, follow your father, and go ask the Fourth Prince for help!"
……
The enemy's fourth prince was so angry that he laughed after hearing the reports from Dong Mangfu and the scouts from the Eastern Desert.
