"Demons! They are demons from hell!"
"Honorable White Stone God, why do you not protect your people?"
The centurion did not answer Yueji's question, but stared blankly at the sky, muttering to himself.
He seemed to be under some kind of curse or experiencing nightmare-like pain.
When Yueji asked him what had happened in the city, the centurion remained silent in fear.
Yueji was furious at the centurion's strange behavior.
If this centurion hadn't come from the Ehe Shaoge tribe, the most populous tribe on the Huangshui grassland, Yueji would have had him beheaded long ago.
"Useless! You're a Qiang warrior from the plateau, a warrior as mighty as an eagle. What else, besides the White Stone God, could possibly frighten us?"
“Drag him away, lest he incite unrest among the troops.”
The guards took the centurion, who was still rambling on, away.
Yueji turned his attention back to the battlefield.
Looking up, one could see crossbow bolts the size of javelins still being fired from the city walls, each one taking away dozens of knights.
Despite their small numbers, their extremely long range and terrifying lethality had terrified the Qiang cavalry.
They were terrified that the next wave would hit him.
Meanwhile, arrows rained down from the city walls at close range.
This greatly frustrated the Qiang cavalry who were already fighting back from below the city.
They had already fired more than 20 arrows from horseback, and their shoulders were aching.
But the soldiers shooting arrows on the city wall seemed to be made of iron and never tired. Every volley of arrows they fired had no diminishing force or range.
If this stalemate continues, the Qiang cavalry below the city will only be able to passively take hits.
Their morale, which was initially high, gradually waned and became low.
The endless stream of cavalrymen charging into the city gate seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit.
Yueji clearly remembered that, in addition to the centurion who had run back, two other centurions of cavalry had also charged in.
There are four or five thousand people here, and the number of people guarding the city is only that many.
"This centurion must have gone mad. He rushed into the city and then ran out. It's inexplicable."
"The Imperial Guards followed me into the city and wiped out all the Han Chinese in the city."
"The women and wealth of the city are beckoning to us!"
Yueji, in a rough voice, loudly encouraged the troops.
The two thousand guards were strong men from Yueji's own tribe. Upon hearing Yueji's urging, they howled like wolves.
"Kill them!"
"Charge!"
"Newbies, get out of my way!"
"Slaughter the city, rob money and women!"
Yueji took the lead, surrounded by two thousand guards, and surged like an ocean current among thousands of Qiang cavalry.
The other Qiang cavalrymen made way for them.
It should be noted that among the 20,000 Qiang cavalry led by Yueji, who were ordered by the Qiang King Cheliji to accompany Lü Bu to attack the Yuchi Xianbei and recover the three counties of Hexi, Yueji's 2,000 guards wore leather armor and carried iron weapons.
These leather armors and weapons were taken from the armory of Liangzhou Prefecture and given to the Qiang people by Ding Yuan when they came to help.
The remaining 18,000 Qiang cavalry were originally herdsmen from the upper reaches of the Huangshui River, and they carried their own warhorses and weapons when they went to war.
Most of them wore sheepskin coats, which offered absolutely no protection.
Even the arrows they carried had arrowheads made from ground animal bones.
What's more, their main weapons even included large bones.
Therefore, when these Qiang cavalrymen saw Yueji's guards coming into battle, they naturally cleared the way for them.
At this moment, inside the city gate and within the barbican, the stench of blood grew stronger and stronger.
Li Siye and his thousand Mo Dao soldiers were caught up in the frenzy of battle. They fought their way from the inner city gate, a hundred paces away, to the barbican gate, each step a bloody battle.
The barbican square, which was about 1,000 square meters in size, was piled high with corpses and flowed like a river of blood.
Countless severed limbs and heads were scattered all over the ground, with brains, intestines and internal organs floating in pools of blood, still steaming and glistening with oil.
Geng Chun and the other ordinary soldiers from Juyan Lake on the city wall felt nauseous at the sight.
Shen Lian, on the other hand, was very excited, his hand holding the knife itching to use.
He had long heard that Xue Rengui had slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Shanwukeng and even made prisoners kill each other in the barbican, with only 200 out of 3,000 surviving.
But what is happening now is many times more brutal than what happened back then.
One by one, vibrant lives were cleaved in two like clay chickens or earthenware dogs under the gleaming broadsword, a truly cruel sight.
But the other party was a foreign race, a barbarian.
The prince said that if these foreign tribes are not exterminated or completely conquered...
A century later, they will rise from the ashes and wreak havoc on the Central Plains with even greater ferocity.
Those who are not of our race will surely have different intentions; the only way is to kill and exterminate them.
At this moment, Shen Lian felt that Li Siye's Mo Dao Camp was really too small.
In such a short time, they had killed just over two thousand Qiang cavalrymen.
Meanwhile, on the city wall, Geng Chun commanded twenty triple-bow crossbowmen and three thousand crossbowmen, who had already killed nearly four thousand people.
There are still eight or nine thousand Qiang cavalry outside the city!
Shen Lian wished he could kill them all at once!
"The Qiang cavalry are attacking again!"
At this moment, some soldiers saw Yueji personally leading two thousand guards into the gate of the barbican.
"Hehe, I'm just afraid they won't come!" Liu Wei chuckled.
Li Siye swiftly defeated the Qiang cavalry in the barbican, killing over two thousand who had entered the city. A few escaped.
Liu Wei was worried that if they reported the situation in the city to the Qiang cavalry leader, the Qiang leader would be afraid and withdraw his troops.
