People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 424 Must win!

It was late at night, and the city's defensive fortifications were demolished under the hard work of the laborers. A large number of laborers finally got a chance to catch their breath. They were already exhausted from working day and night.

They thought they could finally start to rest, but they didn't expect that this was just the beginning of the disaster.

The atmosphere gradually became quiet. The civilians were slowly gathered together under the drive of the stern-faced soldiers. They were young and strong, numbering in the hundreds or nearly a thousand, and were gathered in groups on different streets.

At this time, they had begun to feel something was wrong. The eyes of these soldiers seemed different from before. They seemed to have become particularly cold, so cold that it was chilling.

However, they still didn't realize what was going to happen, and only the instinctive uneasiness made them slowly panic.

The dead silent atmosphere gradually became restless, until teams of soldiers blocked the streets, long spears were pointed at the crowd like a forest, and the bows in the back had already strung their arrows. A solemn and cold atmosphere filled the entire city. Only then did the civilians realize the danger.

On the top of the city wall, among the civil and military officials of Wei State, some looked calm and unmoved, while others could not bear to watch and turned their heads away. However, the most important person was missing, and that was Cheng Yu.

Of course they knew where Cheng Yu was now, but they would just pretend not to see him.

They will pretend to know nothing about what happened tonight. Only tomorrow morning will they realize the tragedy that has occurred in the city, and then run to Cao Cao to reprimand Cheng Yu. Cao Cao will also be heartbroken for the people who were killed tonight, and finally punish Cheng Yu.

Everyone had a tacit understanding on this point, and Cheng Yu was also mentally prepared.

As a minister, in addition to working hard for the monarch, another role is to take the blame for the monarch. The dirty work that the monarch cannot do can only be done by the ministers.

Therefore, when the civilians were surrounded by soldiers and became more and more agitated, Cheng Yu waved his hand without hesitation.

"Do it!"

As Cheng Yu's order was issued, the faces of the generals everywhere turned grim, and then the Wei troops in various places followed suit. In an instant, the whole Jinyang City changed suddenly, shouts were heard, and blood began to bloom in every corner of the city.

The massacre has begun!

For the Wei State, this is a way to vent anger, but it is also a way to destroy the enemy's vitality. The women, children, the elderly and the weak can be left to the Wei State to increase the burden, but these young and strong people will become weapons for Xuan Xia to kill them in the future. Even if the Wei army has to leave today because of a disadvantageous battle, they will leave a mess for the Yellow Turbans!

At this time, Cao Cao fell asleep in the office. No one knew whether he was really asleep or just pretending to sleep. The howling and crying sounds that tore through the tranquility of the night and reached into the house did not make him react at all.

On the top of the city wall, Xun Yu took a deep breath, turned around and walked away, unable to bear to watch any longer. However, every scream was like a sharp sword piercing his heart.

Under the city, looking at the blood splattering and lives dying everywhere, Cheng Yu still had that numb and cold expression, as if the people dying before his eyes were not his own kind, but beasts like pigs and dogs.

The young and strong civilians who were in the disaster were all terrified, and they didn't even react at first. Even the few yellow turbans who were mixed in the crowd were also unbelievable.

When the soldiers were gathering and driving away the civilians, several Yellow Turbans felt something was wrong and even had such a guess.

But before it actually happened, they still couldn't believe that the Wei army could do such a cruel thing. It was not until the blood splattered on their faces that they suddenly woke up.

Their eyes suddenly turned red, and they themselves didn't know whether it was because of blood or because of extreme anger. The Wei army actually did this, how dare they, unable to defeat the Yellow Turban army, actually raised their butcher knives to the unarmed civilians, this was really too ugly and ridiculous.

I thought I was the one who planned to obstruct the Wei army's actions tonight, but I didn't expect the Wei army to do something even more ruthless.

The crowd fell into panic under the brutal attack of the Wei army, and soon the place was in chaos. If this continued, tragedy would be inevitable. While the Yellow Turbans were extremely angry, they also knew that they had to come out to direct the situation.

"Fellow villagers, fear is useless. Running away means death. Let's fight these beasts!"

In the chaos, a Yellow Turban raised his arms and shouted. He roared with all his might, but it could only affect a small number of people around him. Soon, there were responses from other places. Other Yellow Turbans in the crowd also responded and cooperated at this critical moment.

All of a sudden, the voices of resistance grew louder, awakening many people who were in panic.

Yeah, there’s no way to escape, so we might as well fight these bastards.

After all, most of the people gathered here are young and strong men who are at the peak of their blood. Once the initial panic is gone, they will have the courage to fight to the death in desperate situations.

Especially for so long, they have been full of resentment towards the Wei army. At this moment, the suffering they have endured over the past month suddenly came to their minds, and their eyes suddenly turned red.

"Let's fight. We'll die anyway. I'll kill one or two of them with my teeth!"

"Fuck it, I don't want this rotten life anymore. Even if I die, I can't be so miserable. Brothers, follow me and fight back. When I die and become a ghost, I will haunt the Cao family!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Voices rang out one after another. The young and brave men had no weapons, but they gritted their teeth and rushed back with their fists and teeth. For a moment, the momentum in the city changed, and it seemed that there was really a trend of counterattack.

However, neither the civil and military officials of Wei State on the top of the city wall nor Cheng Yu below the city wall were moved.

They knew that no matter how strong their momentum was, flesh and blood could not go head-to-head with gold and iron, and the final result would not change.

This was indeed the case. Although the young and strong men fought hard, the Wei army was still like a thick wall that cut off their way to survival. No matter how they fought one after another, they could not shake the Wei army's formation at all. The final scene that emerged was just them fighting to their deaths one after another.

The leader of the Yellow Turban team in the crowd looked back and saw that fires appeared everywhere in the city at some point. The raging fire seemed to be telling the madness and misery of that night.

When he turned around and looked at the Wei army again, instead of being afraid, he smiled with relief.

How can we leave the people of this world to these beasts? Only the leader can lead us to liberation. The world should change. My belief is correct.

Gathering all his strength, he roared out what might be the last words of his life, and then he rushed towards the Wei army without hesitation.

"Xuan Xia will win!"
