Yunyang-Tiancheng border.
Lide affectionately put his arms around a soldier's neck, pointed to the distant city wall, and asked:
"How about brother, can you think of a way to fuck his mother?"
The artilleryman looked at Lide flattered, his body was tense and stiff, and he replied loudly:
"Listen to the lord's orders!"
Lide let go of the arm hooking his neck, pointed to the natural flag on the city wall, and said to him and the others present:
"Wait for a while to fire the cannon. The first cannon will knock down the flag first; the second cannon will be fired at a crowded place to break their morale; Wood and rocks are flying, just enough to make them tremble with fear. If something unexpected happens later, don’t be afraid, concentrate on attacking the city, can you do it?”
The soldiers stood at attention and said in unison:
"able!"
Lide clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Okay. I've heard that there have been a lot of anecdotes about Tiancheng Territory recently, and they have also been circulated among the army. But I trust you, so I can stay at the front line with peace of mind. And you? You should trust your superiors, believe With the cannon in your hand, all demons and ghosts should bow their heads obediently in front of you, and the truth will always be within the range of the cannon."
Lide patted another soldier on the shoulder casually, and said:
"I'm right here, watching you fire the first shot of Yunyang's foreign war. Do you have confidence?"
The soldiers raised their heads again and replied loudly:
"have!"
Lid nodded, and walked into the distance alone.
This is the westernmost city of Tiancheng - Anju City. Although it has an auspicious name, it has nothing to do with "Anju" at all. On the contrary, the people here live in poverty, and have a natural hatred towards Yunyang: everyone has the same nose and two eyes, but just because of a visible and tangible border line, one end is heaven and the other is hell. So they often think about how to drag the people of Yunyang into the water, and how to grab Yunyang's wealth.
They were pitiful at first, because they didn't want to be like this. When the hard-earned food is robbed, when the children who have been carefully raised are taken away, when they have to tighten their belts and risk their lives for a mouthful of moldy pancakes, they will naturally lose all enthusiasm for labor and start to go to work. The direction of the bad guys moves closer.
Killing and setting fire to the golden belt, repairing bridges and paving roads without corpses. It was the world that forced them to become villains, or all the goodness was lost in the chaos of war, everything is the result of natural selection.
But on the other hand, when Yunyang opened the border and wanted to help them out of the sea of suffering, they also committed crimes with the mentality of "I'm not going to make it easier for others, and don't think about it for others." It is true that these people are pitiful, but poor people must have something to hate, and Lide will not have any compassion for them.
Whether they are innocent or not is something that God should judge, Lide's mission is to send them to God!
The people in Anju City walked up to the city wall and watched the army gathered outside with ashes in their eyes. They were no different from the walking dead, and they didn't show any fear at all, because they had friction with the soldiers of the previous Lord Yunyang. At that time, the leader of the team was Karpas, the general of the Eastern Army of Yunyang. That man led the army and stationed on the border between Yunyang and Tiancheng. The people of Tiancheng were extremely hungry, so they went to grab food from the army. Those who were unlucky died, and those who snatched it had a full meal and continued to live on. They are very used to this process.
But this time it seemed to be different from before. Yunyang's army was stationed far away and did not fight over.
The people of Tiancheng didn't know why.
But they still stood at the head of the city, looking at the troops, thinking about how to gnaw off a piece of meat from them.
They are not afraid of death, and people who are not afraid of death are often the most difficult to deal with. Especially when many people who are not afraid of death get together, they will become a completely uncontrollable chaotic force. The so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and this is the secret of the strength of Huangyan's rebel army, but compared to these idle forces, Huangyan's well-trained army is even more terrifying.
Li De looked at the people in Anju City, looked at those eyes full of viciousness, and smiled.
People can suppress their fear of death, but they cannot completely eliminate this fear after all. They rely on hatred and blood to cover their sights, and commit crimes to strengthen their courage, but these are only temporary appearances.
But now, Yunyang's army will help them remember the feeling of stepping helplessly into the abyss in the face of absolute power.
In a way they can't comprehend at all.
"Get ready. Put—"
The torches lit the fuses, hundreds of cannons roared in unison, and the pitch-black shells instantly blew up everything on the city wall. The flag was broken, blood was scattered, and the sky was covered with dust. The "defenders" on Anju City couldn't understand what happened at all, and there were already large-scale casualties. This round of salvo almost directly knocked down half of the city wall.
The people who were still alive got up from the dust and looked down the city with all kinds of stolen weapons, only to find that the long spears and short spears in their hands were useless at all. The soldiers in Yunyang were still several hundred meters away, not to mention their melee weapons, even bows and arrows could hardly reach such a distance.
If it's melee, they can swarm an opponent in groups, gaining a steady stream of courage from the fight.
At least they can fight with the idea of "biting off a piece of meat from the opponent's body". This kind of crazy criticism can easily suppress those troops who have never seen the world. But now the situation they have to face is completely different. The opponent has not moved at all, and their own side has already fallen. This is not a hearty hand-to-hand combat, but a cruel crush.
There are many fears in the world that go beyond death, and the most direct one is the fear of the unknown.
The people in Tian Cheng had never seen artillery, and most of them were even unfamiliar with the concept of magic. Their fears are finally reawakened when confronted with weapons beyond their comprehension.
"Load. Ready, reload—"
There was another round of salvo, and the gate of Anju City was trembling and might collapse at any time.
But before it collapsed, the gate suddenly opened inward, and then countless people poured out of the city.
They rushed towards Yunyang's army like locusts passing through, or swarms of termites.
For them, this may also be a desperate charge, the last hope in despair. As long as they can get close to Yunyang's army, they can use their best fighting style, use their skinny arms, and use those tattered weapons to slash, plunder, and fall into a new abyss.
However, this time they failed to rush to the front of Yunyang's army.
Thick walls of ice rose up from the ground, blocking their way forward; billowing thunder fell, adding countless new casualties.
Li De let out a breath, and said to Fang Shisan beside him:
"Don't tell He Yue about this part."
