Chapter 713: Want to be eaten? Roasted alive!
Born noble?
Blood of God?
Yan Jing couldn't imagine why anyone would believe such nonsense?
How could there be a God in this world?
Well, even if there is a God, shouldn’t the descendants of God also be God?
Yan Jing couldn't understand how anyone could believe such nonsense.
"My dear, since I have the token, I will go there myself!"
"My husband, can you speak the language of the Frost Spirits?"
Du Yunyi didn't want to attack Yan Jing, but the fact was that her knowledgeable husband was not omnipotent.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, my lady!"
What could Yan Jing say? He couldn't understand what the Frost Spirit people were saying. Even if he had the token, it would probably be useless. The language barrier was indeed a big problem.
…
When Yan Jing led his men away from Kunlun Village and traveled day and night back to the Tang Dynasty, the war in Longxi Prefecture had already entered a white-hot stage.
Just as Mr. Xu thought, the Frost Spirit people really thought of a way to deal with the kerosene tanks.
They assembled the siege vehicle directly, and then filled it with people. A group of warriors holding shields used their lives to stop the attack of the kerosene tanks.
After discovering that the kerosene tanks were no longer enough to threaten the Frost Spirits, Old Man Xu ordered the catapults to start firing stones, which shortened the attack range of the catapults a lot.
Although many of the Frost Spirits' siege vehicles were destroyed in the process, some of them eventually approached Dragon City, and the siege began.
Dead bodies soon piled up like a mountain under the walls of Longcheng.
The Frost Spirits seemed to have no idea what fear was. Some of them were even like monsters. Even when their bodies were set on fire by kerosene, they still climbed up. Some of them were so brutal that they would cut off the burning part of their bodies with a knife.
This first round of siege lasted for most of the day.
Many of the Eight Ox Crossbows used for defense in Longcheng were scrapped.
As for the consumption of arrows and crossbow bolts, the figures are astronomical.
But even so, in this siege, Mr. Xu and his men who were defending the city still suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
Many soldiers were almost scared to death and at one point they lost the courage to face the Frost Spirits.
Just one siege almost broke Longcheng, which was beyond the expectations of Mr. Xu.
In the end, it was Fubao's words that saved the increasingly low morale of the army.
"You want to be eaten? Roasted alive!"
Whenever a soldier is afraid of fighting, he will hear such questions.
Want to be eaten? Roasted alive!
Just thinking about that scene makes one's hair stand on end and one's hair stand on end.
No one wants to be eaten, let alone roasted alive by a bunch of savages.
A bunch of savages, like animals, they're just going to die, right? Kill one and you'll break even, kill two and you'll still make a profit!
It was precisely based on this mentality that the morale of the Longcheng army suddenly changed.
The army that is in despair will win!
If Fu Bao had not spread such words, Grandpa Xu felt that this group of savages could really take over Longcheng in one siege.
However, even Mr. Xu did not expect that the other party would attack the city in this way.
There is no such thing as main attack or feint attack, it’s all main attack.
Moreover, there were no probing attacks. Once the siege began, it would be continuous, just like the waves, one after another. The power of each wave was almost the same, and occasionally it would become stronger.
When the Frost Spirits finally retreated, Old Master Xu almost collapsed to the ground.
Even Mr. Xu found this kind of defensive battle difficult to handle.
If there were not enough Northern Barbarian soldiers in the city to assist in the defense, Mr. Xu also felt that Dragon City could not be defended.
In fact, when Longcheng was attacked, Pingmancheng was also attacked by the Frost Spirits.
Trapped in the city, Old Master Xu and Boss Xu had no idea how many people were coming. They could only passively defend the city with all their might.
Compared to Longcheng's words about having a blessed treasure to boost the morale of the troops, the situation on Boss Xu's side in Pingman City was much more tragic.
He could only replace the demoralized defenders in waves, and defend Pingman City at an even more tragic cost.
There were more than 3,000 casualties in Longcheng, and over 10,000 casualties in Pingmancheng, and many soldiers were frightened.
"Damn it, what kind of losers did I run into?"
Boss Xu was so angry that he stamped his feet.
However, the morale of the army was broken. If it could not be reversed in time, Pingman City would inevitably be breached when the Frost Spirits attacked for the second time.
At this time, there were already rumors in the city that people were abandoning the city and fleeing.
"Go, catch him for me!"
"Anyone who dares to talk about running away will be killed!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"Even with Pingman City protecting you, you've still been beaten to such a pulp. Once you leave Pingman City, you'll be captured and roasted alive by the savages!"
Boss Xu was very angry and blurted out all sorts of things.
But what he didn't expect was that his angry words, after spreading, actually slowly reversed the morale of the army in the city.
Just like the people in Dragon City, why are the people in Pingman City so afraid of the Frost Spirits outside? The main reason is that the Frost Spirits are cannibals.
But now, let these people think that if they don't fight to the death, then they and their loved ones may be eaten.
So everyone fought bravely just to avoid being eaten.
Many people even told the people around them that if they died in battle, there was no need to keep their bodies, but to burn them directly into ashes. If they could be sent back to their hometowns, they would be sent back. If not, their ashes would be scattered directly.
Rather than being eaten by the savages outside the city and turned into shit, they would rather be burned to ashes.
Another case of the army of the underdog winning!
Many times, the truth of history is so coincidental and full of similarities.
The Frost Spirits did not know that their actions of causing the Northern Barbarians to collapse had now achieved the opposite effect.
Nowadays, everyone in Longcheng and Pingmancheng is determined to fight to the death.
Surrender, it is impossible to surrender!
Unless, you want to be the target of someone’s barbecue!
As for escaping?
It's the same principle. If you want to be roasted alive by savages, then run away.
They even have giant wolves, and their running speed is as fast as that of war horses, sometimes even faster. Can you escape?
"Baby, Daddy really has to thank you this time!"
In Longcheng, in the prefectural government office, Mr. Xu was slumped in a chair, exhausted all over, not wanting to move at all.
When Fubao heard what his father said, he rolled his eyes.
"Dad, do you think the savages outside will keep fighting?"
"meeting!"
Old Master Xu sighed, "No matter why they come, they will definitely keep fighting. Otherwise, we will destroy their retreat."
"Dad, why do I feel like these people are not afraid of death!"
Fubao couldn't figure it out.
