Chapter 1566: Gate 2
"Quickly close the gate!" Seeing the slaves rushing towards the gate, the captain of the guard of the city was also anxious. If the rioting slaves entered the city, his officials would not be lost?
However, the captain of the guard was obviously thinking too much. After the slaves entered the city, his life could not be saved. Where can he take care of any official?
"Boom ..."
"Creak ..."
With a choppy sound of agitating gears, the jammed city gate noose finally lived up to expectations and closed the city gate.
"Hoo ..." The guard captain just breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to report to his superiors, but a sudden loud noise came from his ears!
"Boom!" With the loud noise, the captain of the guard standing in front of the city felt like an earthquake, and the entire city wall was shaking.
Leaning down and looking down at the city, I saw dozens of strong slaves hitting the gate with a huge log, and there were more than one group of slaves doing the work, and there were several groups of slaves holding the log behind. !!
"Damn! Give me an arrow! Shoot these dirty slaves!" The captain of the guard roared loudly, because he knew that the generals responsible for guarding the imperial capital had not corrupted the military expenditure in recent decades, so the city gates had already counted It has not been reinforced for ten years. Although the surface is painted every year, it looks just like the new one. In fact, the interior has long decayed and decayed. Under this violent impact, the city gate can't last long!
"Uh ..." The soldiers at the city's head immediately put their arrows, and the sharp arrows easily shot through the slaves without any protection. A corpse fell down. Within a short time, the slaves' offense stopped and people were right. The fear of death is an instinct!
"Come with me! Mara's wealth and beauty are waiting for us!" Gironde knew that his time had come, for his brothers, not to mention the rain in front of him, even if it was a sword and fire. !!
"Chong! For freedom!"
"I want to live a good life, rush!"
"Beauty! I am coming!"
"I want to be a rich slave owner too!"
Uh ...
Don't look at Gironde's incitement is very simple, but it is very effective for slaves. Freedom is what they desire most. At home, beauties and wealth, there is nothing to stop slaves from invading the capital. Horse drawn, even death can't scare them!
"what!"
"what...."
"Kill!"
During the slaves' charge, shouting and screaming came one after another. The slaves fell in waves of arrow rain, but more slaves rushed up. They crossed the companion's body and then picked up. The log that fell to the ground, and then continued to charge!
The slaves were shot down constantly, but there were always new additions in the back, and soon a log reached the gate!
"Boom boom boom ..." The sound of round wood hitting the gate was more intensive. Two logs hit the gate at the same time, which caused more damage to the gate, and the time to break the city was getting shorter and shorter!
"Shoot me! Shoot the slaves!" The captain of the guard was already red-eyed. Although he had sent troops to ask for help, the city gate was really in disrepair for a long time, even if he made people sick. Continuous support with wooden sticks, and even temporary repairs of wooden boards and nails, but this did not help. The slaves outside the city had gone crazy. Their attack was stronger than the wave, and the dilapidated city gate insisted on it. Not long!
"My lord! Our arrows are running out!" It is said that the house leak missed the night rain, and the captain of the guard hated his immediate boss at this time. The old guy was greedy for the military expenditure, and the arrows on the city wall and others Shoucheng equipment has very few reserves, only some of them are stacked on the surface for inspection, others have been sold for money.
"Damn!" The captain of the guard whispered in secret, then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, no matter what you do, I will keep the gate for me, think about your family wealth, think about your wife and daughter Do not let these hundreds of thousands of demons enter the city! "
Obviously, this captain of the guard is a man of understanding. He knows that these slaves have been oppressed for too long. They usually look like harmless sheep of humans and animals, and even anyone can bully them.
就是 But because of this, the slaves who have been suppressed for too long, once liberated, they will become more brutal beasts than demons. Once they are released into the city, the entire Mara will suffer a catastrophe!
"Yes! Lord!" The soldiers promised, and then guarded the gate of the city desperately. The arrows on the head of the city ran out, and the soldiers carried stones from the city, and then smashed the slaves below the city.
After the stones were used up, the soldiers had to forcibly demolish the house near the city gate. Although the people yelled, the soldiers knew that if they did not make every effort to block the slaves, the people would suffer losses. Bigger!
大 "Master ... Master, it's not good, General General ran ..." A soldier came running panting, but he brought news that the captain of the guard was almost furious.
It turned out that when the slave attacked the city, the general who guarded the capital had received the news. The old man with a fat stomach drank too much soldier blood. He knew very well how empty the defense of the capital was under his crazy exploitation!
In order to take up time, the general disarmed four-fifths without authorization. The entire emperor claimed to be 100,000 defenders, but in fact it was less than 30,000. Not to mention all kinds of equipment and armaments. Fortunately ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but it really fought, maybe it's not as good as a big stick.
It was because he knew what he was doing that the Lord General had concluded that Mara would fall. So he did n’t wait for the captain of the guard to send him a notification. Out of the city from the underpass, the family fled towards the north.
In fact, like this general, the aristocracy who flees from the undercover with his family is not a minority. Corrupt officials are often more intelligent than clean officials, but they do not use their wisdom in the right place.
There is a saying called Cunning Rabbit Three Caves. These corrupt officials and nobles are no exception. They have dug up secret passages. Although the original purpose was to run away when the emperor wanted to run them, when Mara City was in crisis, this The secret way also saved their lives.
"Damn! These **** maggots!" The captain of the guard screamed and asked the soldiers to go directly to the palace for help, but within a short time, he apparently had no reinforcements.
"Brothers, Mara City now depends on us! We will fight to death today, not for the abominable aristocracy, nor for the dreadful emperor, just for our parents, wives and children not to be attacked by demons. Today we Fight to the end! "The captain of the guard saw that the city gate was about to be broken, so he made the final mobilization!
"For parents, wives and children!"
"Breaking the blood!"
The soldiers roared, and then lined up in front of the gate, because the gate was about to collapse. After that, they would be the second gate made of flesh and blood!
