Chapter 1590: The Abilities of Refugees
Although this method seems a bit bloody, but in any case, for these refugees, this is the only way at present. They don’t know who to blame. They originally lived near the border, and although their lives are not rich and wealthy, , but at least I had the last meal and the next one.
However, due to the robbery by the imperial army, their home was deprived of everything, and the whole city was plunged into a sea of fire. Sukhguman asked them to become refugees. Only when they became refugees, the Tang army would stop moving forward.
Now that Sukhguman's trick has been achieved, how can we people survive? We people are also flesh and blood, and we also need food and water. Sukhguman doesn't think about this at all. He just leaves this mess here and lives a comfortable life in the rear.
The soldiers and people on the city wall also understand this, and they don’t want to kill these refugees. But the problem is that if we don’t kill you now, when the city wall collapses later, you will be like wild beasts when you come in, and we people will be like you, From ordinary people to refugees.
When Sukhguman was thinking of this method, someone under his command proposed it. Your method is purely a vicious circle. The army robs the first batch of people near the border and turns them into refugees. These refugees will rob the second batch. The second batch will turn the common people inside the border into refugees. Then the number of refugees will become larger and larger, and eventually they will move south. By then, the entire northern part of the empire may be filled with refugees, and the total number of refugees may reach several hundred. Tens of thousands or even tens of millions.
If that time comes, no matter what methods the Arab Empire adopts, it will be unable to avoid this civil unrest.
When he thought of this, the city lord suddenly pulled out the steel knife in his hand. Even if he didn't think about the people in the city, he couldn't let these people rush in. Once they rushed in, this vicious cycle would begin. , the Tang Empire might be able to capture many cities in the northern part of the Arab Empire without even trying.
"No one can be merciful. The people below are not our brothers. If they come in, they will drink up all our blood. Now you raise the steel knife in your hands and kill anyone who wants to climb up." Cut it down for me."
After hearing the words of the Lord of the City, the people present were also shocked. You must know that the Lord of the City has the most gentle attitude. When there is nothing else, the Lord of the City even wants to give some help to the refugees outside the city, but Why did the attitude of the city lord change so quickly?
Of course, they are no longer in the mood to think about this. Because of the help of the corpse, many people are less than two meters away from the city wall, and both sides can even see each other's eyes. At this moment, some people on the city wall hesitated, but more Many people did not hesitate to lift the stone next to them, and then threw it at the people below.
Some people were only two meters away from the city wall, and even waited for a while before going up. However, a large amount of boiling oil was poured down on the city wall, as well as raindrops of stones, which knocked these people down. In an instant, the bottom of the city wall was Hundreds of people died, but the people above seemed to have no emotions and continued to perform similar actions. Their only goal was to kill all these people and prevent them from approaching the top of the city wall. Let them have any hope.
When suppressing refugees, all the generals understand that if you give these refugees hope, more people will do it. The lives of refugees are not valuable. Everyone knows this. Once they see it, If there is a glimmer of hope, a large number of refugees will rush forward one after another. When the time comes, it will be impossible for you to stop them.
There are now tens of thousands of refugees outside the city. They seem to have been in contact with each other a long time ago. Either you die or I die tonight. When the city lord decided to shoot these people, they were no longer willing to make a small fuss. Because starting from tonight, the heart of the city lord has become as cold as an iceberg. We will never have the chance to get close to the city wall. When dawn tomorrow, they will not even allow us to enjoy the coolness under the city wall.
Under such a huge sun, if they are exposed to the sun in the open space outside the city, it will only last for two or three hours at most. I am afraid that the moisture in their bodies will be wiped out. They must fight in tonight. , otherwise tomorrow will be a day of exposure, and by tomorrow night, we will not even have the ability to act, let alone attack the city. That is simply a luxury hope.
The torches on the city wall were lit, and then someone threw the torches down. When the boiling oil on the city wall fell down, a huge flame ignited under the city wall, and many people had to be afraid at this time.
When it was dark just now, many people didn't know what happened under the city wall. Even though many refugees were killed by bows and arrows, they were still able to rush up. There was actually a lot of blood on the ground, but Because of the darkness, no one can see it, so there is not so much fear.
Although they know clearly that they are stepping on the corpses of their companions, these people still have the ability to ventilate. But if everything is clear, for example, now that the flames are lighting up, will these people still have such courage? I'm afraid it's gone.
The first to feel the collapse were the women. Seeing the mixture of blood and oil under the city wall, which was sticky and moving slowly, they felt like vomiting. Then they looked at the bottom of their feet, which was already like mud, but these things were definitely not mud. Think about how many people died today, and you will know what these things are.
Many women cried and ran around. They just wanted to escape from this hell. Without their support, the road that was built by people began to collapse. Some people were tripped while running, and then they never had a chance to get up again. When you run around, others are also running around, and one person's foot is enough to trample you to death.
When more boiling oil fell, the people under the city wall screamed in pain. When the boiling oil fell on them, the first thing they felt was pain, but it was not the most painful now, because there was no live bar thrown down from the city wall. When torches were thrown down from the city wall, you would know what real pain is.
The flames grew larger and larger, almost forming a 40-meter-long fire dragon, all of which was burned by the combination of boiling oil and people... (End of this chapter)
