For feudal society, the so-called organizing the whole city to fight a war is actually just letting ordinary people serve as logistics or servants. Frontal battles will definitely not be left to them, even those famous massacres in ancient times. The same is true for the persistence war that lasted for months and years. In the feudal era, it was absolutely impossible to mobilize the people and mobilize the masses, because the enemies were attacking the city, and the ordinary people were also their enemies. Even the ruling class was more prepared for the latter.
As far as ancient wars are concerned, they were just rulers fighting against each other. This had nothing to do with the ruled, because no matter who won, they would just continue to squeeze and exploit them. Therefore, if many people in modern times are familiar with history, then for ancient times The insensitivity of those people should be understood. It is not that they have no patriotism or national consciousness, it is just because it has nothing to do with them, because for any victorious ruler, they are all exploited, and they all A slave, nothing more.
Even if there were peasant uprisings in ancient times, due to ideological limitations, they would eventually turn into oppression and exploitation of the people by the new ruling class. No matter how nice the words are and how beautiful the historical records are, the essence remains the same. The so-called Herdsmen actually herd people like sheep. In the end, they still eat mutton and cut wool. Their essence has never changed. In the war between rulers, these are the fruits of victory. No ruler dares to arm the people who are being herded, because it is very likely that the people's hatred for them far exceeds their hatred for the invaders.
Therefore, in fact, this is the biggest difference between modern people and the people in ancient feudal times, and that is the question of whether to fight for themselves. In other words, this is the biggest difference between modern people and ancient times, and science Ah, improvements in productivity levels and so on are actually just by-products of this.
On this battlefield, neither the noble coalition nor the Blue Mountain dwarves realized this. They all looked at the siege battle in front of them with the thinking of the feudal era. Generally speaking, as long as the city wall is broken, There were no reinforcements, and there was not much difference in strength between the two sides. Then the defender of the city was considered a failure, and there was almost no possibility of reversal. So when the city defense army slowly retreated, the noble coalition cheered excitedly, not only The regular private armies of nobles and the servant armies with heavy casualties all rushed towards the capital city of Blue Mountain. The nobles who had suffered a large number of casualties finally showed relaxed, reserved and expectant expressions. Come.
As for the aristocratic coalition that invaded the city, the first thing they encountered was not the defeated city defense army, but a group of dwarf civilians, men, women, old and young, holding weapons, wearing simple protective equipment, or even plain clothes. Standing there blankly with their weapons, when they saw the ferocious aristocratic coalition attacking, most of these dwarf civilians howled miserably, dropped their weapons and fled backwards. The whole scene was in chaos. I don’t know how many dwarf civilians were killed. His own people were trampled to death.
The noble coalition forces were laughing and howling crazily. They chased these dwarf civilians. Many noble coalition forces robbed the dwarf civilians directly on the street, especially those dwarf civilians who were trampled. They immediately started searching the dead ones. , looking for valuables, and those who survived were killed neatly without any mercy.
When these dwarf civilians fled backward, behind them, a small group of provisional government troops and several loud-voiced dwarf political commissars were standing there. They tried to stop these civilians, and those political commissars even shouted loudly: : Citizens and comrades of the Blue Mountains, don’t run away, don’t show your back to the enemy. Your enemies are right in front, not behind here. For the Blue Mountains and the provisional government, you have to fight. Long live the workers.
These dwarf political commissars roared loudly, trying to stop the fleeing civilians, but soon they were trapped in the crowd of civilians. Even because of their obstruction, these dwarf political commissars and the troops of the provisional government were overwhelmed by a large number of civilians. They were hacked to death. No one in the crowd knew who had done it. Thousands of dwarf civilians moved forward like this, and more civilians around them were frightened by their defeat and joined in. Their array, along the way, killed at least three or four teams of dwarf political commissars, and the number had reached more than 10,000 civilians. Seeing that the front had rushed to the central square of the Blue Mountain capital, this rout seemed to be no longer possible. There is no way to avoid it.
All of this was seen by Aoqi's mental scan. He sighed, as if he couldn't bear to see so many dwarves being slaughtered. Next to him, Sterry said quietly: It seems that the captain's military skills Not bad at all. In this situation, how could it be possible to send civilians to stop these noble coalition forces? There were many mistakes on the city wall, otherwise the city gate would not have been breached. This has been lost and can never be undone. There are so many dwarves, they are all dead.
During the mental scan, not only did the tens of thousands of dwarf civilians flee, there were also thousands of dwarf civilians who had no time to escape and were captured by the noble coalition soldiers. Moreover, the nobles had already issued an order to cleanse the city, so the noble coalition forces There is no need for any prisoners at all, the thousands of dwarf civilians have been massacred, and if this continues, the entire Blue Mountain capital will be massacred.
Sterry's words made everyone around him have the same idea. Only Zhang Heng, Nian Xikong, and Tom didn't say anything. After a while, Tom said: Believe in the captain, he is better than you think. It is much more powerful. Since he said that he is most proud of the art of war, then I believe him. Captain, let us see what is Chu's killing method.
At the same time, the fleeing dwarf civilians had rushed to the edge of the central square, but in the next moment, what greeted them was not the protection of the city defense army, nor more dwarf civilians joining them, but dense crossbow bolts, and they were The crossbow bolts filled with fighting spirit not only penetrated the first row, but also penetrated several rows of civilians in succession. At least three or four thousand dwarf civilians were shot to death in just one shot. It was blood and corpses. The dwarf civilians running wildly stopped in shock, and then looked ahead with puzzled faces.
You traitors, you dogs of the nobility, you traitors of the revolution, you are no longer Blue Mountain dwarf citizens, you are no longer great workers, you are traitors worse than invaders, dwarves, traitors and revolutionaries.
These dwarf civilians were all stunned. They stared blankly ahead. In the central square, there were not only all the city defense troops who had retreated, but also almost the entire dwarf civilians in the Blue Mountain capital, standing in front of them. It is their great mentor Chu Hao, and Chu Hao now actually accuses them of being traitors and accusing them of betraying the revolution. How is this possible
We, we don't
Some dwarves had already roared loudly. They stood up from the fleeing dwarf civilians and loudly talked about their experiences. They met the noble coalition, were chased and massacred, and they even recounted that there were people behind. Thousands of dwarves have been slaughtered to death, but they did not betray the revolution or escape.
no betrayal
Chu Hao's voice was even louder. He used the power of magic, and his voice almost spread throughout the square. He shouted loudly: When we stand here to prepare for a counterattack and a bloody battle with the invaders, you know what we saw with our own eyes. We saw that instead of fighting the invaders, you turned around and slaughtered the political commissars and provisional government troops who were sheltering the defeated soldiers and preparing to shelter you and protect you when you arrived at the square. We saw with our own eyes that you slaughtered them. You turned around, Look at what you did. You massacred your own comrades, and then rushed to the square to continue massacring us in order to clear the way for your noble masters. Can you still call this not betrayal
These dwarf civilians turned around blankly and looked out on the square. The city gate was no longer visible due to the obstruction of the buildings. Looking out from here, they could only see the scenes on two streets. There, two groups of dwarf political commissars and provisional government troops blocked their way forward. They had been killed by the running mob, leaving only two corpses. And in this square, they could be seen clearly.
Yes, Chu Hao had sent a total of four or five batches of dwarf political commissars in advance with the provisional government. The first two or three batches of dwarf political commissars indeed roared loudly to drive the civilians back to resist the aristocratic coalition, but this Two or three batches of political commissars have been blocked by buildings, and people in the square cannot see or hear their roars. However, the last two batches of dwarf political commissars have been ordered to contain and protect them. As well as guiding civilians to the square, these two batches of political commissars happened to be visible to everyone in the square, and people who were close could hear that their roars were just roars of containment and protection.
But these two batches of dwarf political commissars were massacred on the spot by the fleeing dwarf civilians, who thought the political commissars were still driving them to meet the enemy, under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of dwarves in the square. This was I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Because of this, when these civilians came to the edge of the square, the city defense army obeyed Chu Hao's order without hesitation and fired crossbow bolts directly at them. This group of people, among all the dwarves, In his eyes, he is already a traitor
Chu Hao turned to look at some officials of the provisional government and some dwarf officers of the city defense army. These dwarves all nodded silently, and even the surrounding dwarf civilians shouted loudly. The voice was very simple, It means the same thing
Kill them, kill these traitors, kill these traitors who betrayed the revolution.
Chu Hao closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, there was only coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes.
I declare that you are traitors to the revolution, you are traitors to the dwarves of the Blue Mountains, and you are traitors to the dwarves of Turin. All of you will be punished with death. Your families will be driven out of the Blue Mountains and let them
Be the slave of a noble forever
As he spoke, Chu Hao waved his hand, and behind him, crossbow arrows flew together
