Smoke billowed.
Although the Great Azure Village was prepared, when the villagers saw the enemy, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
People!
Densely packed people!
The nearby villagers, men, women, children, the old, the sick, and the disabled, were all driven over by the Hu people, like ants attacking the city.
The villagers were all from the same place, so they might have acquaintances everywhere. When they saw their relatives and friends being driven over with wooden sticks and stones, a commotion broke out on the Great Azure Village's walls.
"The Hu people are truly deranged!"
Wang Qiao, Wang Yin, and Wang Qiao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as they cursed. At the same time, they looked at Wu Ming with admiration.
"As long as anyone dares to charge, kill them all! Remember, you're not only fighting for yourselves, but also for your parents, wives, and children … "
At this time, Wu Ming had brought Qin Hu and a few fierce-looking youths to supervise the troops.
Earlier, he had told the village chief that the Hu people might want to drive away the surrounding villagers and attack the city like ants attacking the city. He suggested that the entire village be put under strict control. The elderly, women, and children should be gathered together, and all the young and strong people should be incorporated into the villagers. Then, he should set up a supervision team to suppress the riots.
Because of Wang Qiao's refusal, the arduous and unrewarding position of offending people naturally fell to Wu Ming.
"Don't … Uncle!"
"Erniu …"
"I'm Little Shitou …"
Under the urging of the Hu people, the nearly unarmed villagers slowly stepped forward. Regardless of whether it was the attacking side or the defending side, all of them had tears streaming down their faces.
"Fire!"
However, Wu Ming's expression was cold. He suddenly shouted, "If the village falls, will we still be alive?"
"Fire!"
A sparse rain of arrows fell from the earthen walls. Screams rang out as many people retreated in all directions.
"Kill!"
Accompanied by the sound of hooves, dozens of Hu cavalry finally appeared in front of Wu Ming.
The Hu people wore leather jackets and carried quivers on their backs as they galloped on horseback. On either side of them were longbows and scimitars.
Seeing the refugees flee, the leader of the Hu people shouted and immediately nocked an arrow on his bow. He pulled the bow into a full moon and suddenly released.
Whoosh whoosh!
Bone arrows flew everywhere, and those who tried to escape were immediately shot to death.
The rest were forcefully herded together and prepared for the next wave of attacks.
"Haha … Kill! Kill! Anyway, those who die are not our people. The more people who die, the better … "
Amidst the wild laughter of the Hu, the smoke of several beacons could be seen in the distance. It was a group of ten-some Hu cavalry, bringing with them waves of captives.
The Hu shouted, laughed, and even wantonly killed the men and abused the women. They did not seem to care in the slightest.
"Bastard!"
Wang Qiao and the others gritted their teeth at the sight.
As the second wave of villagers began to attack, the people on top of the mud wall all had hot tears in their eyes. They were speechless.
"I … I can't, my third uncle is still down there!"
A teenager cried as he held a stone in his hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't throw it down.
Pa!
The whip lashed out fiercely, leaving a bloody mark on his back.
Wu Ming's hysterical roar came, "What are you waiting for? Throw it! "
The teenager's hand trembled, and the stone fell.
The surrounding villagers gritted their teeth and killed without restraint. At the same time, many resentful gazes were focused on Wu Ming.
"Do you see that? Now you know why Father didn't let you do this! "
Wang Qiao secretly said to Wang Yin, "Otherwise … we would be the ones who are at the heart of the struggle!"
Wu Ming naturally knew that he was in deep trouble.
However, he only needed to hold on for seven days, and then he could leave without fear.
…
This wave of attacks only ended at night, and the Great Green Village was littered with corpses. It was a tragic sight.
Even the arrows, wooden blocks, and bricks stored in the village had been used up. What was more shocking was the physical and mental torment of the villagers.
The moon was still bright in the sky, but there were faint cries in the village.
"Young Master Nameless, I've brought you some food!"
Above the earth wall, Wu Ming was focused on observing the movements around him. He was surprised to see that a woman like Huang Ying dared to come to the Shuraba.
"I … I thought that you haven't eaten anything for a day, so I specially came here …"
Huang Ying blushed slightly and waved the food box in her hand.
"Thank you …"
There were a few steamed buns, jerky, and a bottle of wine in the food box. Wu Ming did not stand on ceremony, and immediately took them out and wolfed them down.
Huang Ying, who had boldly come up to the city wall, felt dizzy when she saw the corpses on the ground. Her eyes reddened, "These people are so pitiful!"
"The world is like a dream, and we are in a dream too …"
Wu Ming suddenly said after he was full.
"Then I hope that this nightmare can be woken up as soon as possible!"
Huang Ying suddenly asked, "Young Master Nameless, do you have a way to save these innocent people outside?"
"What can we do when we are powerless?"
Wu Ming shook his head. "I know that Miss Huang Ying might be very sad right now, but please remember one thing. Even if you have a kind heart, you have to do what you can. Otherwise, you will only bring disaster to yourself and the people around you …"
Huang Ying said thoughtfully, "Just like yesterday, when Young Master saved me?"
"Indeed!"
Wu Ming was startled, and then said, "Yesterday, I had the confidence to save you, so I naturally had to be chivalrous. Just like today, if I could fight a hundred people alone, or even kill a shaman alone, I would have done such a good deed long ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the strength, so what can I do?"
"I understand …"
Huang Ying bowed to Wu Ming, and suddenly said, "Today, the Hu cavalry did not suffer any damage, but our morale was greatly affected. In my opinion, I am afraid that we will not last more than three days …"
"Also … that Brother Qin Hu seems to have his own plans …"
"Let him do what he wants …"
Wu Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Miss Huang Ying, have you thought about what our main mission is? And why do we have to emphasize the word 'choice'? "
"Could it be …"
Huang Ying cried out in alarm.
"That's right, our mission is only to survive … that's all!"
A trace of a smile appeared on Wu Ming's lips. "It looks like the Hu people won't launch another sneak attack tonight. I wonder if Miss Huang can find Qin Hu to replace him and do me another favor?"
… …
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Hu cavalry continued to chase away all the villagers they could find in the vicinity. Like ants besieging the city, they greatly depleted the strength of the people guarding the village.
By the time all the people in the vicinity were dead, there were nearly a thousand corpses beneath the Great Azure Village, and the surrounding villages had been emptied.
Compared to this, the Great Azure Village's trenches, obstacles, and even stored weapons had been greatly depleted. There were also casualties among the villagers, and more importantly, the blow to their morale was extremely tragic.
At this moment, the true test had only just begun.
"Release the arrows!"
The arrows fell like rain!
Once all the refugees were dead, no matter how unwilling the Hu cavalry was, they had no choice but to personally take the field.
Wave after wave of arrows landed on the top of the earthen walls, only to be blocked by wooden shields. Several dozen cavalrymen dismounted and climbed up the walls.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Wu Ming, Qin Hu, and a few of the village leaders were wearing leather armor and wielding well-tempered steel sabers. They were leading the villagers on the front lines.
Only experts at Physical Body Tier 3 or 4 like them could rely on the terrain to withstand the attacks of the Hu warriors.
"Watch my blade!"
Wu Ming's expression was resolute. He remained unfazed by the charge of a Hu. Straightening his shoulder, he took the initiative to meet the saber. The saber left a deep mark on his leather armor, and an intense pain even seeped into his bones. Meanwhile, the steel saber in his hand was like a venomous dragon emerging from a stream as it ruthlessly pierced through a Hu ten-man commander in front of him.
The Hu were poor, and even their arrowheads were made of bone. Naturally, they did not have much good armor.
But what Wu Ming was wearing was the trump card of the Great Azure Village. It was the capital that elder Wang Qiao had accumulated bit by bit. Furthermore, with the terrain advantage, he naturally had an advantage.
【Killed a Tulu warrior. Obtained 100 Small Merit!】
The notification from the main shrine sounded faintly in his ears, but Wu Ming could not be bothered with it anymore.
If he could not survive, what was the point of accumulating more merit?
"All of you, get out of the way. Watch me!"
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. Wu Ming looked over and saw Wang Yin walking forward with a snake spear in his hand. He was actually wearing a suit of armor and was sweeping through the Hu like a god descending from the heavens. Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
This set of armor was the true trump card of Wang Qiao's arsenal!
Ancient iron was expensive, and this full body armor required a terrifying amount of materials and an astonishing amount of craftsmanship.
It might not be accurate to say that this set of armor was comparable to the entire Great Azure Village, but it was more than enough to cover half of the Great Azure Village.
With Wang Yin's cultivation in the True Energy Realm, coupled with the armor, he was practically a human-shaped killing machine!
God killed God, Buddha killed Buddha. The Hu finally left behind a few corpses and retreated like the tide. The villagers on the wall suddenly cheered, worshipping Wang Yin as a hero.
"Look!"
But right after that, a cry of surprise broke this atmosphere.
A villager pointed to a place not far away, his face full of shock.
"Hmm?"
Wu Ming narrowed his eyes and saw a suspicious person wearing a mask and carrying a red drum on his waist suddenly appear in the Hu camp.
"The Wolf God has bestowed upon us power!"
The Hu with the deer antler mask roared and patted the drum on his waist.
Dong! Dong!
The low sound of the drum seemed to resound in everyone's heart, making Wu Ming feel a slight tightness in his chest. On the other hand, the Hu cheered loudly. The wounds on their bodies began to stop bleeding. Some of the lightly injured had a bloody scar directly torn off their bodies, revealing new tender skin. They had actually healed without needing any medicine!
"F * ck! Group healing minor injuries? "
Wu Ming cursed in his heart and gave the enemy's skill a name. Wang Qiao, on the other hand, screamed as if he had been strangled, "It's the shaman! The shaman of the Hu, we have sinned … How many sins have we committed to meet this? "
"Go! The people of the Wolf God will never fear us! "
The shaman's blank eyes moved. He took the drum in his hand and continuously patted it. A faint circle of blood-red light appeared and shrouded the surroundings.
The Hu shrouded in light roared as they charged, brimming with energy and morale. In contrast, the Hu on the walls were horrified, their morale at an all-time low.
