Chapter 632: Fight to the Death Ever
since the night when the Human King swept the east wall of Dongwang City, the Alliance Army began to launch continuous attacks on the north wall.
The left, right, front and rear armies broke through the wall four times in four days, but they all stopped early and went down the wall without fighting.
On the fifth day, he stood under the wall early, holding the hilt of his sword and looking up at the city.
There was disappointment in his eyes.
He wanted to use Dongwang City to slow down the army, but after several days of attack, the army fell down the wall in half a day. If they wanted to take Donghai City, it would only take a day.
How could such a battle serve the purpose of slowing down the army?
"Marshal, aren't you going to take the city today?"
General Wolf stepped forward and asked after hitting his chest with his right fist.
He shook his head and said, "Although this whetstone is not hard enough, it can at least be used to sharpen the knife. Use it first."
General Da Ri came out again and saluted, saying, "Marshal, there are always casualties in daily attacks. These casualties are meaningless."
He glanced at him and could see kindness in his eyes.
"Kindness does not lead the army. If General Da Ri cannot control the army, give up your position. There are still many generals who do not lead the army."
General Yin Yue stood up and said disdainfully.
"You..."
"Say less."
He waved his hand, and everyone immediately shut up, bowed and saluted without saying anything.
"The whole army must take turns to attack before Dongwang City can be taken. This is a military order."
He said it decisively and firmly, and the generals could not say anything.
"Send out 5,000 soldiers from the central army to attack the city today. Once the city wall is taken, return and General Dao will command." He
glanced at General Dao, who was a little excited, and turned back to his own military tent.
After watching too many battles like this, it was boring, and he was too lazy to watch from the bottom of the city every day.
When he returned to the big tent, he saw Tai sitting in his main seat eating meat and drinking wine. He didn't care and sat down next to him.
"Drinking wine early in the morning, you don't mind it being greasy."
After sitting down and saying this, he took the porridge on the ground from the guard next to him and drank it by himself.
"You are in the alliance, in a high position, and have enough fish and meat to eat. How can you imagine the suffering I am going through here?"
Tai pouted, scraped a piece of meat from the lamb leg with a knife in his hand, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with his eyes closed.
Li shook his head, just drinking the porridge by himself, without arguing.
"Why do you make such a meaningless siege?"
Tai asked after taking a sip of wine.
"Because we have to divide the troops later."
Li said after finishing the porridge and putting down the empty bowl.
"What about dividing the troops?"
Tai asked after taking another sip of wine.
"If we divide the troops, we will have to choose a commander. We need to see how good they are and the quality of the army."
Li took the wine glass, smelled it, and put it back.
"These people have been with you for so many years, many of them are your nephews and nieces, can't you tell?"
Tai frowned and asked in confusion.
"You always say that your third son is brave and courageous, but didn't he shrink back at the last moment?"
Yi said with a chuckle.
Tai was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "My grandson looked not brave, and he has the deepest friendship with me. Who would have thought that he would... Hey."
"A man of small mind is not a gentleman, a man without venom is not a hero. Isn't this what you wanted? What's the point of being disappointed now?"
Yi said after pouring him a glass.
Tai picked up the wine glass, his eyes flickered with hesitation, and he drank it in one last gulp, saying, "You are still a little old and soft-hearted."
"Hmph."
Li snorted, saying, "You came to me early in the morning to cry about your poverty, and you used your unfilial children to get my sympathy, and you used your dying to get my pity, what, do you want to save the Shushu tribe?"
Tai's movements faltered, and he slowly turned his head to look at Li, with confusion in his eyes.
"Why, if I don't manage politics, I don't have political intelligence?"
Li filled Tai's glass again and said, "You can look down on me, Li, but you can't look down on the leader of the alliance, and you can't look down on the marshal of the alliance."
When Li first succeeded to the throne, he was the leader of the alliance. Later, when Shao changed the system, he became the marshal.
So in essence, he has both the title of leader of the alliance and the position of marshal.
"Alas."
Tai sighed, stood up, and saluted solemnly.
"When Tai started, the Rat Tribe was the first to surrender. At that time, Shao Wu suggested that I divide the four directions, and I also handed over the most prosperous Dongwang City to the Rat Tribe. Now it seems that I have harmed them. Marshal, please help me."
He said this, bowed his body for a long time.
Li stood up, dragged his hands to help him up, and said, "I have just explained to you why we need to train soldiers. It is useless to embarrass me like this."
Tai stood up, but there was still a pleading look in his eyes.
This made Li very uncomfortable. He had been in contact with Tai for a long time and knew that this person was very strong. It was rare for him to be so humble.
Moreover, it was true that his descendants were against him, and it was also true that he was about to die, which made Tai feel uncomfortable.
In the end, he was still reluctant to drive Tai away like this, or to leave in a daze.
"You have done enough for the Rat Tribe. You sealed their most prosperous town and turned them from a Rat Tribe into a Rat Tribe. They enjoyed the prosperity, and this disaster is what they deserved."
He advised gently.
"Marshal."
Tai was about to bow, but was stopped by Ke. He stopped trying and just spoke sincerely.
"Dongwang City will surely become a wealthy place because of the alliance, but it is also an important place for the human tribe. I wanted to seal the leader of the Rat Tribe in the north, but they had to guard the important place for the tribe themselves. I have to repay this favor."
Ke frowned, but still shook his head with gritted teeth.
"Marshal, I don't ask you to let them go, I just ask you not to waste their manpower so much. After five days of fighting, there are already old and weak people on the city wall."
Tai lowered his head again, tears in his eyes. With
trembling hands, he took out a roll of animal skin from his arms and handed it to Ke.
Ke opened it doubtfully, but found that it was a letter from He Dong to Tai.
What is written above is the loss of people from each tribe in the city, among which the Shurat tribe suffered the most, but other tribes also suffered a lot of casualties.
Below these casualties is Hedong's analysis of the current situation in Dongwang City.
It is said that under the leadership of the Shurat tribe, most of the warriors of the tribes that opposed the Human King have been consumed, and it is meaningless to continue fighting.
At the end of the letter, it is written like this:
My father and Hedong have governed Dongwang City for decades, but they have not been able to make Dongwang City completely obey the Human King. This is the sin of the He family.
These days, in order to lure these opponents to die on the city wall, many Shurat tribe warriors have died. If they hadn't shed blood in front of them, those opponents would not dare to step into the battlefield, and would definitely surrender but have rebellious hearts.
Most of the rebellious people have died in battle. Today, Hendong will lead the leaders of these rebels to climb the city again and swear to fight to the death.
Hendong will take them to die on the city wall together, and leave a clean East Sea City for the human king and his descendants.
I only hope that the human king will allow the Shushu tribe to survive among the human tribes in the future, considering that my father and Hendong are still loyal.
For thousands of years, the loyalty of the Shushu tribe will remain unchanged.
Hendong's last strokes
. He also folded up the animal skin with a heavy heart, and his eyes looking at Tai finally softened.
"Do you want Hendong to live?"
He asked.
"No."
Tai said firmly, which surprised him.
"I only ask the Marshal, after today's battle, there will be no more battles tomorrow. Once Hedong dies, everyone in the city... will be obedient."
Tai finally couldn't help but lower his head and wipe away the tears that fell.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, but still said in a cold voice: "Encouraging General Wolf and General Sun to do this can only be done once, otherwise there will be a gap between the alliance and the human tribe, and they can no longer reconcile as before."
Tai lowered his head and nodded, without saying a word.
He looked at this scene and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Look at what life has forced this generation of dying human king into.
…………
Shortly after dawn, General Dao took the lead in attacking the city wall, and it would be easy to take down the city wall before noon.
But when he came to the city wall, he felt that today's resistance was unusually tenacious.
The number of people may not be as many as he saw from below a few days ago, but the quality has improved greatly.
What's going on?
He was puzzled, but had no answer.
"I heard that General Dao's tribe betrayed the alliance in the past. Will you, a rebel, be reused in the future?"
A loud shout came from not far away. General Dao looked over angrily and saw the brown-haired man coming with a knife.
"You rat, dare you insult me? My father is Shao Wu, and my family's loyalty to the alliance is known to the sun and the moon."
Even though he was in the enemy camp, when he mentioned Shao, General Dao still took the time to bow to the east.
"After Shao Wu students?"
He Dong had already strode over, waved his hand to disperse the warriors besieging General Dao, and took a stance to fight General Dao alone.
"With your status, if you kill me, it won't be considered a disgrace to my reputation. I am He Dong from the Shushu Tribe, and I just want a fight."
"Fight."
General Dao had nothing to say to him, tightened the bronze-wrapped stone knife in his hand, and chopped directly.
The people of Dao Tribe like to use knives, and they are good at using knives.
Their power attached to the knife always brings strange abilities, which can make the long knife sharper and chop faster.
Therefore, the people of Dao Tribe are famous for their good fighting skills.
Because of anger in his heart, the long knife in General Dao's hand chopped down several times in a row, and He Dong could only barely resist.
As soon as they started fighting, He Dong fell into a disadvantage, but he held on tightly, dodging and coping.
"You are not good at killing, but you are good at dodging. You are worthy of being called a rat."
General Dao kicked He Dong to the ground and said with a smile.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
He Dong coughed up blood, but chuckled, raised his sword and shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, fight hard to kill the enemy, and fight to the death today."
The Dongwang City warriors who were fighting to the death around them also responded one after another, shouting to fight to the death and fight hard against the alliance warriors.
"Humph."
General Dao snorted disdainfully and attacked again.
He Dong knew that he was no match for him, but he still fought with him, but he mostly avoided.
While dodging, he kept shouting "fight to the death, win today", motivating the enemies who were being killed.
Slowly, General Dao also found the problem. The enemy in front of him didn't seem to want to fight to the death with him, but seemed to want to entangle him and let the people around him die.
What does this person mean?
