Chapter 178: A decision under desperation [Dabro]

Accompanied by the sound of metal and stone collision, more than a hundred hook claws successfully grabbed the wall of the whistle;

Although there was a dead corner of the attack of a heavy long crossbow below the whistle, this did not mean that the soldiers in the fort had no choice but to do anything to these people;

They pulled out their short swords and searched for the hook claws on the walls beside them, and slashed them with one sword whenever they found them;

After the rope connecting the hook claws was cut off, soon there would be screams and dull sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground below the city wall.

However, under the raid of the soldiers in the East, dozens of people successfully climbed up the observation post and fought hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers above.

Although they are highly morale, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number of people; even if one person can kill two or three middle-level soldiers, it will not change the fate of annihilation of the entire army.

After confirming that the surrounding situation was safe, Dabro roughly estimated the battle losses of both sides.

About dozens of people were killed in one side of the Central Realm and more than a hundred were injured;

And on the eastern border... at least four or five hundred people were killed. This kind of war loss ratio can be completely repaid to Marquis Moor as a big victory.

"Master Dabro!" A soldier from the middle realm shouted to Dabro: "Those soldiers from the east realm have jumped into the river!"

Jumping into the river... Dabro frowned, which was somewhat different from what he expected.

Dabro picked up a leather shield to cover his body, and then carefully came to the wall;

He observed the East Army soldiers through the gaps between the shield and the wall:

As the report said, the Eastern Army soldiers who had attacked with bows and arrows did not continue to charge;

They took off their armor and arms one after another and jumped into the river.

This kind of behavior is almost like seeking death - only a little bit of slim vitality.

These soldiers chose to jump into the river in the downstream of the mute bridge because the waves there were relatively gentle;

However, even so, the wide and fast Four Realms River is not so easy to swim.

These people should be planning to swim to the other side and then arrive at Wangyuan City to report on the situation;

Then the moonlight reflected by the waves, Dabro could see hundreds of black dots floating in the water.

Most of these people will die... but as long as one person successfully swims, their goal will be achieved.

"Don't you attack them?" asked the white ape, "Just let them go?"

"There is no need to waste arrows, let them go." After Dabro observed, they had been washed far away by the river;

With the cover of Botao, it is not easy to shoot them.

The arrows in the bridgehead are not enough to be wasted at will, so let them go.

After confirming that there were no soldiers from the East Frontier who could still fight on the bridge deck, Dabro ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Dabrow was able to roughly guess some of the other party’s thoughts about the battle tonight—and was also shocked.

These people should know that without complete siege weapons, it is impossible to win the bridgehead.

However, they still launched an attack desperately, without any intention of retreating, and it is very likely that they were just for "death".

There is not enough food in the castle. If there is no reduction in the number of people who eat, everyone will starve to death faster;

In this case, they had to choose this method that can only be described as "extreme".

For those in the East, dying in the battlefield for the lord may be more dignified than starving to death.

Although this tactic is very touching, it does not make people want to imitate it at all. Dabro did not sigh for long. For him, it is more important to report the battle in a complete manner.

"Master Dabro!" A soldier called out and turned around and left Dabro, who had not taken a few steps. "It seems that there is movement in the gate opposite again!"

"Prepare for the battle..." Dabro stared at the gate opposite, but before he could say the word "fight" he stopped;

Because the opposite side is not here to fight.

The soldiers walking out of the bridgehead did not hold weapons in their hands; on the contrary, each of them held a white flag in their hands;

Even militias who have not been trained know what this means - they are not here to fight.

"Sir, they should be here to collect the corpse." The white ape said in Dabro's ear--his eyes were so good that he saw the wooden cart behind the people.

Although these Eastern soldiers failed to choose to die gloriously, they believed that they had the obligation to put away the bodies of their companions.

They took a few steps forward with the white flag, then stopped and waved hard for a few times - this was to express the signal to the enemy: We are not coming for battle.

"Sir, what should I do..." The white ape asked Dabro for advice.

"Torch." Dabro felt it was more reliable to respond to the other party's things himself. After all, his subordinates had not had the corresponding training - this was too troublesome for them.

Of course, the premise is that it is absolutely safe.

After taking the torch, Dabro raised his head high, then slowly lowered it, repeating three times - agreeing to a temporary truce.

The other party clearly knew what this meant, so he continued to move forward.

"Ah, Lord Dabro, are you going to wait for them to get closer before you can kill them all?" Bai Yuan guessed after thinking for a moment, "You are really..."

"I don't think so. I'll throw the bodies on the observation post and let them take them back." Dabro shook his head, "Don't attack them."

"Ah..." Bai Yuan was stunned. This seemed to be in line with Dabro's usual style of conduct. In the former's impression, the latter was a person who would not stick to means to achieve his goals...

Even so, he still faithfully conveyed Dabro's orders.

"Don't be too short-sighted." Dabro turned around and left the observation whistle, and the wind at night seemed a little cold: "If you do this, it means you have completely tore through the etiquette and rules of the war."

"Didn't you always say that only boring people care about those?"

"Those who care about us are dominating our future." Dabro said as he walked, "If such a contrary to the principle is done because of the result of a small battle, then our captured nobles will be difficult to redeem, and the bodies of the soldiers will not be buried, Marquis Mor would not be happy."

It would be easy to deal with if you don’t feel happy, but if you hold the blame... then the problem will be big.

"Say... it's right." The white ape followed - in his impression, Dabro has always been a versatile planner, and this time it should be...

Dabro's pace suddenly stopped.

"What...what happened?" The white ape felt that Dabro suddenly remembered something.

"...I'm wondering if there are other meanings for their recovery of the body." Dabro shook his head, "It shouldn't be so crazy... I hope I'm thinking too much."

Will the people in the East Realm do that kind of thing in extreme hunger...?
