Chapter 332 Trial Attack

"Shut up? Do you really think the lord is an idiot? When did the lord intervene in this kind of thing?" Tagore squinted at his adjutant and said, "You are a smart person, why do you commit crimes at this time? Confused? We are the front-line commanders, we only need to think about fighting the battle in front of us, and you don’t have to worry about the rest, even if the lord has other considerations, wait until the lord’s order comes down, don’t think about it.”

"My lord general taught me that I didn't think carefully." The adjutant of the personal guard bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

It's not that you don't think well, it's that you think too much, and you think about some things that you shouldn't think about.

These words circled in Tagore's mind, but he didn't say it out after all.

Thousands of people and faces.

With so many people in the Yong Ye army, it is impossible for them to be printed from the same mold.

Especially with the formation of this large system, there will inevitably be people who have their own small thoughts, sharpen their heads and drill upwards.

This is inevitable for all forces.

Fortunately, the military leader Yongye has had the sharp blade of the military procuratorate hanging over everyone's heads from the very beginning, and at this time they have shown their might.

There may not be a shortage of people who flatter others and follow the trend, but those who use unfair competition to get to the top, dare not say that there are none, but there are very few of them. Before using it, you must think twice.

Once exposed, all my previous efforts will be in vain, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

Although Tagore doesn't like this kind of person, he has to be patient in this system. After all, sometimes he needs to borrow the smoothness of the other party. Can't bear to do this.

"My lord, you are here. Open your mouth and save those crocodile people outside! They are all our people, how can you do it?"

An elder of the crocodile tribe dragged Xiao En and cried for a while, which really made Xiao En stunned. He didn't expect such a riot to happen on the city wall. If he knew it, he wouldn't have come to join in the fun.

But after thinking about it, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled properly, it will cause a gap in the relationship between the two parties.

Xiao En said with a serious expression: "Elders, you must not say that. We are not resigned to death, but there is no way to save it. Elders, please follow me."

Sean led them to an arrow tower, pointed at the Kingsley family's barracks and said, "Look, the heavy cavalry of the Kingsley family have assembled, and they are waiting for us to open the city gate and take the opportunity to cover up and kill them. I don't need to say more about the consequences of being rushed into the city by them? Not only do these people outside have no chance of survival, but we have to take in more soldiers. This is the most commonly used tactic in siege tactics. Those who have the heart of the city, all the elders, must not fall into their tricks and mess up the position."

"It's not your clan members outside of the relationship." An elder of the crocodile clan couldn't help but said in anger.

"Even if the leaders of the Eternal Night Army are replaced outside, we will issue the same order." Xiao En said seriously, "In this situation, we can only choose to focus on the overall situation, after all, we are shouldering dozens of The life and death of thousands of soldiers and civilians."

"You mean, for the safety of the majority of people, a small number of people can give up? If we, or the lord, are also in this situation in the future? Should we save it or not?" A member of the crocodile tribe said in a sharper tone road.

"Elder Karl, you are a bit unreasonable."

Before Sean answered, another voice spoke first.

"Your Excellency the Great Elder."

"Old ancestor."

Everyone saluted the person who had just spoken.

It was Nidia, the chief elder of the crocodile tribe, who appeared at the entrance of the arrow tower. Not only him, but also the other three elders of the crocodile tribe also arrived together.

For the first time, Nidia could not hide her anger and said on her benign face: "Elder Karl, what are you doing? Why didn't you obey General Tagore's dispatch and act without authorization? What did you take our agreement for? Still messing around here."

The leader of the crocodile clan elder Carl, his arrogance obviously dropped a lot, and he explained in a murmur: "There are all our clansmen outside, I can't give the order to shoot at all, they are all our clansmen, I just want to help Just help them, just want to help them."

"Stupid." Nidia's face darkened, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid. How can you behave like a woman at a time like this? If you destroy the entire defense plan of Brother Port, you will become the sinners of the entire crocodile tribe. You still have the face to question the lord here, from today onwards, you will no longer be on duty here, and we old guys will take turns guarding."

"But..." Elder Carl wanted to say something else.

"There is nothing wrong, hurry up and apologize to the lord." Nidia said in an arrogant tone without giving him a chance to question.

Netia usually doesn't show off her power, but once she does, she still has a lot of power to speak.

The elder of the crocodile clan couldn't even think of rebelling for a while, and obediently bowed his head to Xiao En and admitted his mistake: "Sorry, Lord Lord, I just said something wrong..."

"It's okay, I can understand everyone's feelings." Sean waved his hands and said with a look of understanding, "After all, there are all your clansmen outside, but for the sake of the overall situation, some sacrifices are inevitable. We are not saviors, and we cannot save All people can only choose to protect what we can protect."

Although he didn't want to agree with Xiao En's words, but in the situation before him, the elder could only nod in agreement, stepped aside, sulked, and stopped talking.

"I'm sorry, we are the ones who lagged behind again this time." Netia sincerely apologized to Sean, "If General Tagore hadn't responded in a timely manner, we would have fallen into a bitter battle again."

"This is the first time I face this kind of mind-attacking tactics, it will always be difficult to accept." Since no losses have been caused, Xiao En certainly won't hold on to this issue. After all, these crocodile clan elders are not currently their soldiers, so there is no way Apply the military law of the Yong Ye Army Commander to them, "When we faced this situation for the first time, many soldiers also forgot to shoot arrows, and they shot with tears in their eyes under the whipping of those officers."

"It's all due to this damn war." Nidia cursed viciously, obviously she was not as calm as she appeared.

After a little hesitation, Nidia said: "Of course it is impossible to open the city gate, but can you leave a way for them to survive? Put some ropes down from the city wall. This should not have much impact. Can they survive?" , depends on their own luck."

It's futile, it's hard for them to even cross that moat!

Sean opened his mouth, finally suppressed the words, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for people to do it, and save one if you can."

"I have thanked the lord for them!" Nitya, who is as clever as she is, doesn't know this, but she can't stand them beheading her clansman like an executioner, but she doesn't do anything.

Knowing that doing so will have little effect, at least he can give his conscience an explanation, even if it is deceitful.

Sean quickly approached Tagore, told Netia's request exactly, and finally added: "Everything should be carried out without hindering the defense of the city. If it is not feasible, the general can give up directly."

"This is harmless." Tagore flexed his muscles and grinned, "It happens that the brothers on the city wall have itchy bones, so it's good to let them exercise their muscles and bones."

Hearing that it wasn't such absurd order to open the city gate, Tagore's heart went back to his stomach. What he was most afraid of was that Xiao En couldn't bear the pressure of the crocodile tribe and made a faint move.

At present, it seems that his lord is still as wise as ever, and will not meddle in such matters.

It doesn't matter if you put a few ropes down, just treat it as fishing, regardless of whether it is the crocodile tribe or the Kingsley soldiers who climb up the ropes.

If it's the former, it's okay to say, but the latter can be chopped up with a single knife.

Without the cooperation of a large number of large-scale siege equipment, even if they climbed the city wall, they would be rootless duckweed, dead but not alive.

Although he said to let go of the rope, the leader of the Yongye Army did not let it go blindly, but sent teams of soldiers to shout at the top of the city.

"If you want to live, throw it into the sand bag and climb up along the rope. Don't carry the sand bag into the moat, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."

The same order is repeated over and over again.

Although the moat of Brother Port is wide enough, especially in a flowing state, it is not so easy to fill the road with negative soil.

But being able to delay for a minute is a minute. If possible, they are unwilling to let a sack of sand fall into the moat.

"What are they going to do?"

Bivis was not as ecstatic as most crocodile people, who couldn't wait to throw away the sandbags and rushed towards the city wall.

The first thing that popped up in my mind was doubt.

Some don't know what the defenders of Brother Port are thinking.

If you really want to save people, how many can you save with just the few ropes thrown down from the city wall?

As the first wave of cannon fodder, the number of them may not be too many, but even if it is because of the previous waves of arrow rain, the number of people has been sparse, but looking at the black heads, there are not 10,000 but 8,000.

How many ropes did so many people go to grab?

How many people can successfully climb the city wall?

And the Kingsley family will not just watch them do this.

Therefore, as before, Bivis decided to act with the large army for the sake of stability. Even if there was a problem, there would be more people to share the danger together, right?

Obviously, there are not a few people who have the same thoughts as him.

In the past few months, they have fully realized what it means to be sinister.

When looking at anything, I can't help but start from the evil side, because this is one of the reasons why they can survive until now. The corpses of those innocent and passionate people have long since cooled down.

Another reason Beavis didn't act was that Colum didn't move.

Compared with ordinary crocodile people, Ke Lun probably has more complicated thoughts and more worries. After all, he is neither human nor ghost, even if he managed to escape to the city wall, once his actions are exposed, his fate will never be better. .

But the behavior of the Kingsley family who didn't care about driving them away like cannon fodder made them clearly realize that even though they did so much, the other party still wouldn't treat them as human beings, and continued to hang out, the result was still the same. There is no escape from death, and now it is time to find ways to get out of trouble.

There are also a small number of crocodile people who are ecstatic about it, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw. When the ropes are thrown from the top of the city, they don't think much at all, throw away the negative soil sacks, and go to the brothers. Run wildly against the city walls of Hong Kong.

I don't know if it was their illusion, but the rain of arrows was much sparser, and most of them fell behind them.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

All of them didn't care about the coldness of the river after winter, and the alligators wandering back and forth in the moat, so they plunged down and swam towards the city wall with all their strength.

"My leg is cramping, give me a hand, for the sake of my fellow man, give me a hand."

"Ah... Get out, get out, damn bastard, get out of here."

"Help me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"Let go, let me go, if you want to die, die yourself, don't drag me to die together."

At this time, the not-so-wide moat has become a roadblock. After many people plunged in, they never climbed out again.

Either the hands and feet were cramped by the icy river water, or they were exhausted and unable to climb up, or they became food for the crocodiles.

War crocodiles generally do not attack the crocodiles, that is when there is sufficient food.

In order to cultivate the ferocity of these war crocodiles, the Yongye army leader did not feed enough.

The hungry war crocodiles saw that there was meat delivered to their door, so they didn't care whether the other party was a member of the crocodile tribe, even if they were, they would still eat it.

At this moment, the selfishness of human nature is completely exposed. Everyone only cares about themselves, and is very stingy in lending a helping hand to those around them.

Not only is it a matter of wasting excess energy and wasting time, but it is also a matter of increasing competitors in disguise. There are only so many ropes, and the more people who climb ashore by then, the more competitors will be.

At this time, it is already benevolent not to use evil hands.

Bivis, who was following behind, could clearly see that after many people climbed ashore, not only did they not extend a helping hand to those behind them, but kicked them back into the water.

At that moment, his heart was colder than his body, and when he looked at his companions, his eyes were full of vigilance.

In the purgatory life of a slave soldier, human nature was distorted to the extreme. At this moment, he missed the lame old man's nagging. It was the only shining point of human nature, but it was wiped out by people like Ke Lun early.

Bivis looked at Ke Lun's back with more hatred in his eyes.

"Cross the river quickly, cross the river quickly, there will be no chance if you are late."

"You guys won't be able to get through it, but if you don't, get out of the way, we're going to get through it."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, damn it, you want to die, no one is stopping you, get out!"

As the first group of people crossing the river rushed to the bottom of the city wall and dragged the ropes to climb up the city wall, many crocodile people finally couldn't bear it anymore.

This is one of the few opportunities for them to escape. After the Kingsley family reacts, they will have no chance.

Many people began to swarm towards the city wall, pushing many people who were still hesitating by the moat directly into the water.

Collen and Beavis were among those pushed into the water.

"Dry!"

Bivis couldn't help swearing, and ended up swallowing a mouthful of the cold water from the moat, and his body felt icy from the outside to the inside.

Now that he was already in the water, it was impossible for Bivis to climb back.

Leaving aside the crowds on the shore, whether you can climb back is a question, even if you can climb back, what's the point?

Repeat the previous hellish life?

Go forward, although the hope is slim, but at least there is still a glimmer of hope.

Bivis swam forward with all his strength. In the process, he carefully avoided not only those hungry crocodiles, but also other crocodiles.

In his eyes, other crocodiles are more dangerous than those hungry war crocodiles.

At least those war crocodiles will be greatly reduced in aggressiveness after their stomachs are full, and those crocodiles will do everything they can to reduce their competitors.

Bivis has no intention of harming others, but he has to prevent others from harming him.
