"After 50,000 cavalry went out to Bafang City, there were only 30,000 infantry in Zhenshuiguan. It was impossible to hold on to such a huge city. The only way was to die in battle." A wry smile appeared on the face of another general. He was under greater pressure than this officer.
Much more, because, besides Roma, he is now the supreme commander of Zhenshuiguan. Once Zhenshuiguan falls, he will be the first to be sent to the gallows.
A group of generals were helpless.
Time is getting tighter. According to the intelligence sent back by Black-winged Kunpeng, in less than half an hour, an army of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Bafang City will be approaching the city.
Once a war breaks out, Rom will kill people. When the time comes, no one knows who will die under his butcher's knife.
In previous wars, Rohm would personally supervise the army and even take the lead in battles. Often, soldiers he saw who were greedy for life and feared death would be directly killed.
Of course, you are lucky to kill directly. There are often soldiers who are greedy for life and are afraid of death. They will be arrested and paraded in public. Moreover, each time, Rom personally performs the attack.
In the eyes of the soldiers, Roma is the embodiment of the devil.
Usually, when a general runs an army, the soldiers will feel a sense of awe.
Awe is the emotion produced when facing something authoritative, solemn or sublime, with feelings of fear, respect and surprise. It is the attitude towards all sacred things.
However, the soldiers had no respect for Roma, only fear.
"Can 30,000 infantrymen deal with hundreds of thousands of wolf-like refugee troops?" A general who had been silent suddenly started talking.
"..."
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a while.
If the opponent is a rabble, it is not very difficult for 30,000 infantry to defeat hundreds of thousands of refugee troops relying on the towering city walls. However, the problem is that the opponent is not completely a rabble, but led by the famous undefeated God of War Zhao Yuan of the Great Qin Empire.
.
Rohm led 50,000 elite Crusaders cavalry, but was also trapped in the swamp of Bafang City and could not escape. It was obvious that Zhao Yuan, who was extremely vicious, was not in vain.
"It is better to surrender than to die." The silent soldier took a long breath and said, "I still have a wife and children, and I don't want to die in a foreign country."
Originally, everyone's expressions changed when they heard the soldier talking about surrender. However, when the soldier mentioned his wife and children, the angry crowd fell into a long silence.
Finally, the officer with a swollen face spoke.
"Even if our 30,000 infantrymen surrender against an army of hundreds of thousands of refugees, the military court of Heaven will not pursue them. Moreover, there are precedents to follow. After all, life is the most noble thing..." The officer paused and hesitated:
"The problem is, General Rom..."
Everyone looked at each other again.
As the officer said, surrender is very simple, and there are many precedents of surrender in the military history of the Kingdom of Heaven. The question is how to explain it to Rom.
Thinking of the cruel Roma, people shuddered, as if a pair of cold, death-like eyes like poisonous snakes were staring at them from behind.
"Kill him!" The soldier who had been silent had a fierce look in his eyes.
Everyone's body was shaken.
This idea is really crazy. You know, in the Kingdom of Heaven, people who want to kill Rom are like crucian carp crossing the river, but they all die, but Rom is still alive and well.
"Either he dies or we die. Think about it."
Everyone looked at each other, and there was a long silence.
Inside the room, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
The plan to kill Rom is too tempting. As long as Rom dies, all problems will be solved.
Slowly, a crazy murderous intention surged through the room.
There is no doubt that now is the best time to kill Rom, because Rom was seriously injured.
"How to kill?" a general asked in a low voice.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Everyone knows how ferocious Rohm is. Even if he is seriously injured, his fighting power is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Just before, he was killing people on the city wall.
No one wants to be a pawn.
Everyone knows Rohm's cruelty, and under his prestige, no one is willing to confront him head-on.
Things suddenly reached a deadlock.
"I think it's better to shoot with arrows." An officer thought for a while.
"Well, not bad."
Everyone agreed. After all, if you shoot with an arrow, you don't have to be in close contact with Rom.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to shoot him to death with an arrow, so I might as well just burn him with kerosene!"
Burn with oil!
Everyone's eyes lit up.
There is no doubt that this is an excellent proposition.
Immediately, people decided.
In order to avoid leaking the news, the generals led their cronies one by one to move. Hundreds of cronies were moving firewood and transporting kerosene. Soon, mountains of wood were piled around Rom's secret room, and barrels of kerosene were also being transported.
Ready.
"ignition!"
After a group of archers took their positions, the top general issued an order.
Immediately, dozens of people poured kerosene on the wood, threw a torch up, and with a bang, the fire spread immediately.
The kerosene fueled the fire, and it was so fierce that the raging fire engulfed the secret room in an instant.
Hundreds of archers held their breath and stared quietly at the raging flames.
At the critical moment of healing in the secret room, Rom suddenly opened his eyes. He felt the scorching temperature, heard the crackling and popping sound of wood, and smelled the pungent smell of fire oil.
Could it be that Zhenshuiguan fell?
impossible!
Even if the refugee army led by Zhao Yuan arrived at Zhenshuiguan, it would not be possible for them to break through Zhenshuiguan so quickly.
Although Zhenshuiguan is located in a plain with no natural dangers to rely on, it is located in the hinterland of the Qin Empire and guards the waterways extending in all directions. Therefore, when it was first built, the project was vast and majestic, far exceeding the four borders of the Qin Empire.
Daxiong Pass.
Even if the refugee army breaks through Zishui Pass, there is no reason to burn the secret room.
In a flash of thought, Rom already knew what had happened.
Roma is not angry.
This kind of thing is not surprising to Rom, because he has never trusted anyone in his life. Even if it is his own mother, he will kill him. Even the God of Death is killed in the flesh. The perverseness of his behavior is evident.
.
The scorching heat turned the entire secret room into a steamer.
At this time, although the injuries on Rom's face were still horrific, they were no longer stained with blood as at the beginning.
Originally, this secret room had a secret passage. However, when the city was breached, the soldiers of the Qin Empire who defended the city destroyed the secret passage. Because the project was too huge, the secret passage has never been repaired. Rom just wanted to simply heal his wounds.
He immediately participated in the defensive battle, but he didn't expect that he would develop elbows and armpits.
The only way to survive is to break down the door and rush out.
Rohm stood still, he was an excellent killer and he knew when to attack.
The temperature in the secret room was getting higher and higher, and Rom's tolerance had reached its limit. However, he still gritted his teeth, held his breath, and endured the increasingly scalding heat.
At this time, Roma was like a crocodile lurking underwater...
…
The Crusader officers and soldiers gathered outside looked at each other. From beginning to end, there was no sound in the secret room, which seemed particularly strange...
The atmosphere was extremely depressing.
The raging flames rose tens of feet, and the entire secret room was enveloped in flames.
Finally, people breathed a sigh of relief.
Under this high temperature, even if it is made of iron, it will melt.
Hundreds of tense soldiers surrounding them slowly lowered their bows and arrows.
It seemed that everything was a foregone conclusion. The terrifying murderer had been buried in the sea of fire.
After Rom died, people's tense nerves relaxed.
For the Crusaders at Zhenshuiguan, Roma is their nightmare.
Peng!
Just when everyone relaxed and relaxed, the stone wall of the secret room suddenly exploded, and countless red-hot bricks were shot out in all directions.
"kill!"
With an earth-shattering roar, Rom broke through the wall and rushed out from the raging flames.
Time and space suddenly solidified.
The bows and arrows of hundreds of soldiers had no time to raise the long bow in their hands. Rom's thin body had already appeared in front of them like a ghost.
Countless heads were flying in the air, and there was endless horror in the eyes that were on the verge of death.
Killer King!
Under Rohm's prestige, a group of generals also became sluggish for a moment, and even in this brief moment of sluggishness, more than a hundred soldiers died under Rohm's scimitar.
Rohm's Death Scythe has fallen into Zhao Yuan's hands, and now, in his hand is a standard Crusader weapon - a scimitar.
Ordinary weapons turned rotten into magic in Roma's hands. He chopped vegetables and melons along the way. In just a few breaths, the bodies on the ground had piled up like a mountain.
"Brothers, kill!"
The officer with the swollen face was the first to wake up, shouted loudly, drew out his machete, and rushed towards Rom without fear of death.
"kill!"
"kill!"
…
The officer's shout of killing woke up everyone. They suddenly woke up from a dream and rushed towards Rom in a swarm.
