Chapter 856: Massacre in the City (VI)
Remember in one second【】
Crazy woman.
She anxiously held the child whose head was about to fall off.
Cried out tears.
Cried blood.
She wanted to save the child whose head had been chopped off.
she wailed.
she howled.
This poor mother.
The poor mother who could do nothing but wail and wail.
——An unknown bard who had the misfortune to witness war.
The massacre of civilians in Ulan City did not stop until the afternoon of the next day.
With the orderly organization and the joint efforts of all the soldiers in the vanguard, by the afternoon of the second day after the city was broken, there were almost no civilians taller than a wheel in the city...
After the massacre of civilians in the city ended, the generals began to bury the corpses.
Because the number of corpses was quite staggering, even the Delan Undead Team was brought in to help bury the corpses.
If the body is left there and ignored, there is a high risk of an infectious disease outbreak.
If an infectious disease breaks out, it will not only bring big trouble to the Holy Hiran Empire, but also bring trouble to the United Corps.
In order to avoid this lose-lose situation, dozens of large pits have been dug outside Ulan City to bury corpses.
Since the destruction of the city, the team responsible for transporting corpses to these large pits has never stopped...
…
…
Darlene carried a body on her back toward the corpse truck.
The corpse being carried by Darlene was relatively intact, with all four limbs and head intact, but the heart was shot through by an arrow.
Just as Darlene was carrying the corpse towards the corpse truck with an expressionless face,
She suddenly noticed something on the ground not far away.
It's a small severed limb.
It's a small right forearm.
Judging from the size of this arm, it should be the arm of a child.
Darlene was very familiar with the wound on this arm.
This arm was not cut off, but was stepped on by a war horse and then violently broken off.
Such wounds would only occur if someone was stepped on by a galloping horse.
As for where the owner of this arm is, Darlene doesn't know.
Perhaps he endured the severe pain of his broken arm and ran away, then died somewhere else.
Or maybe she died on the spot after being trampled by a war horse, and then her body was moved away by her comrades.
After seeing the tiny arm, Darlene couldn't stand it anymore.
She fell to her knees and began to vomit furiously.
I vomited out today's breakfast alive.
Darlene has obviously seen many scenes that are much bloodier than this.
But any bloody scene she had seen before could not compare with the impact that the scene before Darlene's eyes had on her.
"Sorry... I caused you to fall..."
When Darlene knelt down to vomit, the body on her back accidentally fell off.
Darlene apologized to the corpse while putting it back on her back.
"I am for the country...I am for the country..."
Darlene murmured.
"I came to participate in this war against the Holy Hiran Empire so that the country would no longer be invaded by the Holy Hiran Empire..."
"These are necessary sacrifices..."
While Darlene kept murmuring these words, she picked up the small severed arm on the ground, and then continued walking towards the corpse truck...
Darlene walked to the nearest corpse truck.
The corpse truck was almost full. After loading the latest body and arms that Darlene had brought, the groom raised the reins and drove the carriage toward the filling station outside the city. The burial pit was slowly transported away...
…
…
While they were massacring the civilians in Ulan City, they were also plundering all the property in the city.
From gold and silver jewelry to livestock such as pigs and cows, they didn't let go.
The pigs, cattle and other livestock were all taken to the kitchen and became the meals of the vanguard generals for the past few days.
In order to boost the morale of the entire army, the looted money will also be distributed to every soldier in the vanguard.
When they learned that they would all receive a sum of money, most of the people in the army were very happy and their morale soared.
And Darlene was one of the few who didn't feel so happy...
…
…
After all the corpses were buried, the vanguard troops had no reason to stay in Ulan City anymore.
When they left Ulan City and continued to march, they did not forget to set a fire and completely destroyed Ulan City into ruins.
After igniting all parts of Ulan City and causing Ulan City to fall into a sea of flames, Deng Jiaer no longer paid attention to Ulan City, which was now a dead city. He waved his command flag and allowed the vanguard troops to continue marching.
Although they slaughtered almost all the creatures in Ulan City, they still spared some people.
211 young children no taller than a wheel escaped their slaughter.
There were dozens of very old people who escaped the butcher's knife.
The reason why I put these dozens
^0^ Remember in one second【】
A very old man had a way out, not because of how kind-hearted Deng Jiaer and the others were.
The reason why these dozens of old men were allowed to live was just because these dozens of old men were very useful.
They forced these dozens of elderly people to watch with their own eyes how they slaughtered and destroyed the city of Ulan. After the massacre was over, they gave them several donkey carts and asked them to drive these donkey carts and take these young children who were no taller than one wheel away from here.
In simple terms, they deliberately left some people alive to let them spread the consequences of not surrendering and the horror of the massacre.
Because of their number and the donkey carts, their speed of movement must be much faster than the vanguard.
They reached the next city one step faster than the vanguard, and spread the tragic end of Ulan City who refused to surrender more crazily than anyone else.
When someone asked them how many Britannians were attacking them, they said - hundreds of thousands of troops!
Panic can completely destroy normal thinking ability.
When humans are in panic, no matter how absurd things are, they can happen.
The terrifying rumor that "the Britannian Empire sent hundreds of thousands of troops and the city of Ulan that refused to surrender was slaughtered" spread at a very fast speed.
When the news reached the next target of the vanguard troops, Goro City, the mayor of Goro City was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder.
So when Deng Jiaer led the vanguard troops to the city of Goro, the mayor of Goro City surrendered to Deng Jiaer without saying a word.
The vanguard troops took over Goro City without shedding blood or firing an arrow.
Deng Jiaer naturally treated the cities that chose to surrender well.
The combat strategy that Su Cheng gave them was to "treat cities that do not know the current situation severely and treat cities that know the current situation gently."
Deng Jiaer did not hurt any civilians in Goro City. He only confiscated the weapons of the defending troops and looted all the property in the city. He then left some soldiers to guard Goro City and continued to march forward.
The lords of several cities that followed were frightened by the terrifying rumors that spread everywhere, just like the lord of this Goro city. So as soon as the vanguard troops approached, they surrendered without Deng Jiaer sending a letter of persuasion.
The quick surrender of these lords made the vanguard troops' marching speed extremely terrifying.
Dear, this chapter has ended. I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
