C990 Sweep the battlefield (1/2)
Crack * A loud sound was heard, the whip in Sister Wu's hand left a long wound on her face, he could no longer open his left eye, following that, Sister Wu spurred her warhorse to ride on the ground, agilely whipping at the trapped beast.
The surrounding soldiers did not go up to help as if they were watching a show, they only looked at the Battalion Commander with hatred.
Gradually, this place became the focal point of the battlefield. Many local citizens who had captured the captives also surrounded this place. Upon seeing that the Demon King of Killings had been played by a valiant soldier, they all began to curse angrily.
”Kill this beast! ”Snatch our old corn cob and white mask, and kill him …”
”It was this fellow who ordered the burning of Grass Temple Village. Over fifty households were all dead. Capture him …”
”Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! ” The crowd was suddenly filled with hatred. Everyone shouted out the slogan in unison, and the fear in the red bearded man's eyes was indescribable.
Even if the dog had lost its strength, it had already lost the courage to fight. Under the Sister Wu's nimble attacks, it could only fend itself off the attacks from both sides. He finally understood that everything was in vain. Her only fate was death.
”Brave soldiers will never be insulted, God Punishment you pagan!” With a loud roar, the red bearded man turned the saber around and chopped at his own neck.
”Capture him alive!” A distant roar sounded, the hidden weapon that Sister Wu had prepared a long time ago slipped out of his hand and struck the blade wielding wrist, causing it to fall onto the ground with a clang.
The one riding over was Dragon Lord, he said angrily, ”As the assistant commander, why don't you look at the time? It's already 4: 50, why are you still not clearing the battlefield? Tie up the captives and capture them alive! ”
Several soldiers jumped on him and pushed him to the ground. A hemp rope tied him up like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. Red Beard's mouth started screaming. The soldier did not understand what he had heard and smashed four or five of his teeth into the butt of the last rifle. Then, he used the Engineer's spade to scoop up some horse dung and stuffed it into Red Beard's mouth.
Sister Wu glared at him furiously. ”Wouldn't killing him be letting him off easy? I am avenging the people, trying to win over the hearts of the people! ”
”People's hearts?” Dragon Lord laughed: ”I have a better way to win the hearts of the people, you are just playing a monkey!”
It was currently the darkest time before dawn. Originally, it should have been extremely quiet and everyone should have fallen asleep. However, the bloody battles that lasted for an entire night made everyone's spirits rise.
The battle of the three-way groove began at 7: 50 in the evening. At 1: 05 in the morning, the enemy began to retreat. The rest of the time was spent chasing down the defeated soldiers and sweeping up the battlefield.
Dragon Lord and Sister Wu rode side by side on the ground. The surrounding guards held a torch in each hand and relied only on the strength of their legs to control the war horses. The bright flame made the two commanding officers look extremely tall.
Wherever Dragon Lord went, the soldiers of the volunteer army stood up straight and saluted. On the other hand, the citizens were kneeling on the ground crying out loud, saying ”Long live the army”.
