Chapter 36 Civilization is useless in the face of barbarism

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Boss Chen pressed his hands and the hall quickly calmed down.

Guo Xiaodao was also present.

The two sat side by side, and everyone looked up at them.

This time, 50,000 militias were formed on a large scale. If nothing unexpected happens, the most prestigious boss Chen will definitely become the head coach of the militia, and the jade-faced flying dragon Guo Xiaodao will naturally take charge of the second seat.

For this reason, their identities at this time are not only representing Pingle Gang.

In the hall, except for the Pingle Gang, there were seven or eight outsiders, all of whom were merchants who knew the Northern Liang Kingdom, and An Nansong was among them.

No one knows why the Northern Liang Congress suddenly launched a national war, but now that things have come to this point, no matter how much you complain, it will be useless.

But if you want to fight, you have to win. It is best to know yourself and your enemy.

"Dear bosses, you are all merchants who often travel between Tianyue and Beiliang. You can learn about the customs and customs of Beiliang. Please tell us carefully." Boss Chen smiled and spoke very politely, which made An Nansong and others feel comfortable.

"Boss Chen, young master, Wang is just starting to throw a brick and attract jade."

An old man named Wang with a gray beard smiled and took the lead in speaking: "The Northern Liang Kingdom, the cultivation world and the ordinary world are all under the rule of the "Hei Sha Sect". All the people believe in the leader "Hei Sha Zhenjun". They are all devout and crazy believers, and they are proud of the death of the Emperor Hei Sha!

This Black Sha Sect is actually a demonic sect with a reputation outside. Its Taoism is treacherous and very cruel and warlike. It is common for people to launch wars abroad and invade other sects.

If there are disputes in other sects of practice, wars will generally not affect the ordinary world, but the Black Sword Sect is different. If you want to fight, it is the power of the whole country, and the ordinary world will also be involved.

Wang secretly thought, well, although there are many hearsay elements, this time the Northern Liang Kingdom launched a national war, which was probably the instruction of the Heisha Sect. In other words, the real war will begin between the Yuncang Sect and the Heisha Sect, and we ordinary people are just affected."

"There is such a deep reason behind a national war." The old man surnamed Wang's insightful insight seemed to understand the inside story, which made everyone feel like they could see the blue sky through the clouds and mist.

As for whether this is the case, I'm afraid it's almost done.

"So, as long as the Yuncang Sect defeats the Heisha Sect, the war in the mundane world will end, right?" Guo Xiaodao asked without changing his expression.

"That's of course. After all, Anyang City is one of the important cities under the wings of the Yuncang Sect. As long as the Heisha Sect retreats and retreats, the soldiers of the Northern Liang Kingdom will not be able to achieve great things." The old man surnamed Wang stroked his beard and nodded.

"Since that's the case, before the Yuncang Sect and the Heisha Sect decide the outcome, we are afraid we can't count on the Yuncang Sect anymore." Guo Xiaodao's heart quickly became clear.

Then he found that if the Yuncang Sect was defeated, it would be meaningless regardless of whether they could defend Anyang City or not. Under the intervention of the Heisha Sect, the city would be invincible in the end.

"Just Wang mentioned the Heisha Sect just now, which made people suddenly enlightened. I will add some news about the soldiers and horses of the Northern Liang here."

An Nansong seemed to be brewing and slowly spoke: "As we all know, the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang is the best in the world. But you may not know that the soldiers and horses of Beiliang are actually good at capturing cities and territories."

"Oh, a cavalry is actually good at siegeing the city?" Guo Xiaodao and others became interested in hearing this.

"Yes, there may not be a city in this world that the Northern Liang cavalry cannot break, just because their siege is extremely brutal.

I once talked with a veteran of Beiliang that the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang attacked the city in this way. First, they massacred the people and livestock in the countryside outside the city, and then threw a large number of corpses into the upstream waterway and threw them into the wells, completely polluting the groundwater. It won’t take long for a plague to break out in the city.

Then, before siege, the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry would force the prisoners to build a taller castle than the top of the city, and then place several boilers in front of the formation, throw the useless prisoners or dead bodies into the boiler, and use the boiler to refine the corpse oil.

This corpse oil is the secret weapon of the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang. If you install corpse oil, throw it into the city wall with a catapult, or simply throw it into the city, it will cause a fire. Moreover, the fire caused by this corpse oil is difficult to extinguish with water, and it can even be said to be almost impossible to extinguish, so you can only let the fires rise everywhere.

After the fire started, the archers from Beiliang climbed to the earthen castle and shot arrows from the air to kill the city guards who were drowned in the fire. After a while, they could cause a large number of casualties without any effort to expel the dust. It was only a matter of time before the morale of the defending party could be defeated. It was only a matter of time before the city was conquered."

There was a dead silence in the hall, with only the heavier and heavier breathing.

Plague, corpse oil, fire...

An Nansong's words were creepy. The ruthlessness and viciousness of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry were beyond imagination.

But this is not over yet.

"What's even more terrifying is behind. Once the Beiliang Iron Cavalry breaks through the city gate and breaks in, they will allow soldiers to massacre the city for three days, burns and loots all kinds of evil. The population that can survive in every city that was broken by the Beiliang Iron Cavalry may be less than 30% of the original population." An Nansong said in a cold voice.

"What, three days of massacre?!"

Everyone's faces became ugly.

Guo Xiaodao couldn't help but think of a famous saying: In the face of barbarism, civilization is useless.

"Hey, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry came too fast, and even if we wanted to evacuate, it would be too late." Someone was so scared that he wanted to run away.

"Do you want to abandon the city and run away? Can you run past the Beiliang Iron Cavalry?" The others rolled their eyes and said angrily.

"Everyone, this time the 200,000 powerful enemy of the Northern Liang Kingdom is coming in full force. Anyang City is really in danger. If this city is lost, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people in the city will be killed. We have no choice but to defend to the end." Boss Chen looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

...

Three days later, the war broke out!

Boss Chen and Guo Xiaodao led a group of militias to the East Gate wall, which was also the city gate for the Northern Liang army to attack, and the commander of the army was also here to take charge.

Sure enough, the Beiliang army built a tall earthen fort outside the city gate, one floor higher than the city gate tower.

Boss Chen was wearing a helmet and a helmet, and his body was protected tightly.

Something happened to Guo Xiaodao here.

He was not tall enough, and his smallest armor seemed to be much larger and could not be worn. He covered his eyes as soon as he wore the helmet on his head.

There was no way, Guo Xiaodao asked for an iron shield to defend himself. He was not afraid of fighting in close combat, but was afraid that the terrifying archers of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry would suddenly attack.

It was noon at sunset and a terrifying scene appeared.
