Chapter 975 Climbing the Castle……Falling? !
Although the golden juice was a failure in Chen Fang's view, and the bright side effect it caused was not very good, but it dealt a considerable blow to the hearts of the soldiers in Hecheng.
Anyone who gets some heat will feel extremely uncomfortable.
Especially at the moment when he knew what kind of thing was scalding his head, face or other exposed parts of the body, the lingering and lingering smell, as well as the possible infection after the incident, made the soldiers of Hecheng feel scorched. panic.
Then I saw some unlucky people around me being doused by a splash of dung water, screaming horribly, and then throwing themselves into the moat full of corpses behind them, and being stabbed to death by sharp thorns. double.
Finally, under the pouring of the golden juice, the bottom of the city wall was almost turned into a dung field, mixed with the blood from the corpses on the ground, and the puddles of brown mud that were stepped on gave off a lingering, lingering nausea. The smell is simply a nightmare.
The fear of infection, the misery of the companions, and the stinky environment cast a shadow on the mental pressure, causing the morale of the soldiers in the front line of Dehe City to plummet again, and many soldiers became war-weary , just stood still.
But stagnation has naturally become a living target.
Immediately after the golden juice was poured, large stones and round logs were thrown down by the soldiers of Xincheng, and then smashed onto the heads of those soldiers of Hecheng who were standing still.
Blood splashed everywhere, and one after another the broken corpses fell down, following in the footsteps of the companions who had been lying on the ground earlier.
As the falling rocks and trees continued to fall, the soldiers in Hecheng suffered a large number of casualties again, and their morale collapsed completely.
"I don't want to fight anymore, I want to go home."
"Run away, this is not a place for people to stay at all."
"help me."
The Hecheng soldiers who had collapsed under the city wall were in a mess, and they retreated directly, squeezing their companions and fleeing backwards.
One or two finally aroused the emotions of others, leading to a large number of retreats in the front line.
"Bastard, go back to me. Anyone who dares to retreat will be executed on the spot."
The members of the law enforcement team responsible for supervising the soldiers' combat saw soldiers retreating, and immediately took action. As long as they saw someone retreating, they would kill them on the spot without mercy.
At the same time, the commanding officer at the scene also began to forcefully order the soldiers to only allow and not to retreat, and those who retreat must be killed.
Under high pressure, the Hecheng soldiers who retreated without hope of death had no choice but to turn around and come under the walls of the new city again, waiting for death in despair.
But later, they found a place that would not be attacked by falling rocks and wood, that is, the 30-meter-long ladder that reached the city wall.
I don't know why there was no attack there, and the soldiers who climbed up first were already about to climb up, but they still didn't receive any attack.
Although I don't know if there are many swords and swords waiting for them after climbing up, but at this time the soldiers can't take care of it anymore. No one wants to die early. Climb up with one brain.
The soldier who was the first to climb the ladder and was about to climb to the top, his heartbeat accelerated as he got closer to the top of the city wall. He was forced to climb the ladder before, seeking only temporary safety, but once he was about to climb to the top, he felt that he was about to face Death, hesitantly, he really didn't want to climb up again, just leaning on the ladder like this, living as long as he can.
But the people below are unwilling. Once you stop, they will reach out and grab your feet. If you don’t continue to climb up, you will only be dragged off the ladder and fall to your death.
In desperation, the soldier at the top of the ladder could only continue to climb up, then climbed over the wall and stood on the city wall.
The Hecheng soldiers who were the first to climb the city wall had to face many Xincheng soldiers with swords and sharp blades. Facing so many people, the Hecheng soldiers who climbed the wall closed their eyes and waited to die, but what greeted him was not the stabbing blades. , but a word that raised him from hell to heaven.
"Surrender without killing, we give preferential treatment to prisoners."
The Hecheng soldier's eyes widened instantly, feeling incredible, and he cast affirmative gazes at the Xincheng soldiers who surrounded him.
"I didn't lie to you. You are lucky. Our commander is kind-hearted. He deliberately didn't let us destroy the ladder, just to save you a way out." The Xincheng soldier said.
At the same time, Xincheng soldiers warned: "Of course, if you don't surrender and dare to resist, then we can only send you to hell."
The Hecheng soldier dropped his weapon without saying a word.
"Surrender, I surrender."
Just kidding, whoever can survive will resist.
Seeing the Hecheng soldiers surrender, the Xincheng soldiers were very satisfied, and then said: "Go and tell the people behind you, tell them not to resist when they come up, or they will die."
The soldiers of Hecheng immediately turned around and leaned out of the city wall, and shouted to the bottom: "Come up quickly, here it says that as long as you come up and surrender, you can live, and the prisoners are treated preferentially."
The people who are still on the ladder and the people below heard that they only need to put down their weapons and surrender when they reach the top, and there is no danger of their lives. This is okay, so hurry up.
As a result, a very absurd scene appeared on the battlefield. Hecheng soldiers under the city wall desperately squeezed towards the ladder, scrambling to climb up to surrender as prisoners, making the ladder that should have been used to transport soldiers to fight on the wall turned into an escape route. .
Of course, although the Xincheng side did not attack the Hecheng soldiers who came up the ladder, the attacks on other places still did not stop.
This is intimidation, which puts the soldiers of Hecheng who climbed on the city wall under threat of death, and makes them be more honest.
As the number of Hecheng soldiers who climbed the wall continued to increase, batches after batches were taken away, the charming girl who had been following Chen Fang couldn't help opening her mouth.
"If I hadn't been there in person, I can't believe it would have happened. It's ridiculous."
Chen Fang felt happy when he heard this, and said, "Absurd, actually it's not absurd."
"Why not absurd, they are attacking the city, we are enemies, and we have killed so many of them, isn't the other side's soldiers angry at all?"
"I climbed up, and surrendered without attacking. This is simply too strange." Charming said in an inconceivable tone.
Chen Fang shook his head and explained: "Do you think their army is very cohesive, and they will be angry at the death of their comrades, thinking too much."
Army soldiers who have no sense of belonging, no belief, and no military spirit, you want them to fight to the death, just kidding.
"Think about it differently. If our soldiers were below today, and they were killed by their own people when they retreated, and the enemy had a way out when they advanced, their morale was destroyed, and they stood in a desperate situation. Will the soldiers seize this line? Live and surrender."
Chen Fang's words were not only aimed at the Hecheng army, but also the Xincheng army.
To be honest, in his mind, the army of this world is not even a motley army, at best it is just a mob that is forced together. The battle is only based on the courage of the number of people, but once the morale is broken, it is a group of losers.
There is something absurd and strange about a group of soldiers who have lost their courage. When faced with death, they are given a way out and are not allowed to surrender.
Charming was silent. After listening to Chen Fang's words, she felt a sense of crisis, a sense of crisis for her own army.
At the same time, she couldn't understand what method Chen Fang used to cause the Hecheng soldiers to surrender as soon as they went to the city.
She wanted to ask Chen Fang about many things, but now that she was at war, she could only ask them later.
"Speaking of the quality of this ladder, they made it really authentic. What kind of material is it made of? It can be erected on our city wall. It is so long, and it has pressed so many soldiers to go up, but it keeps going up. This quality is incredible."
Chen Fang paid attention to the battle situation and found that the situation was still good, so he looked curiously at the ladder on the city wall of Hecheng.
Charming is speechless about Chen Fang's focus, and actually pays attention to some insignificant things during the battle.
In this regard, Mei Mei certainly knows why.
Of course, the ladder made of iron belly tree is not easy to break.
But she didn't say anything, because the Hecheng army was in the rear, and there was a new movement at this time.
