: Three Thousand and Forty-one Aden's Death Bell (15)

The riot of slaves in the southern part of the Kingdom of Aden broke out when the Kingdom of Aden was about to be promoted to the Aden Empire, and like a hot oil blowout, in just ten days, it was like a hurricane that swept through the southern provinces of the Kingdom of Aden, except for the failure of food. The Great Famine had reached a very dangerous moment, and for a unique reason, that is, the Harveys,
Just five months ago, the Martini people in southern Obaro broke through the borders of the Harvey Kingdom, directly destroying the Harvey Kingdom, one of the southern powers, and the millions of Harvey people in Martinli It was sold to the Kingdom of Aden as a slave. Although more than one hundred thousand Harvey people died due to transportation on the land, the Kingdom of Aden still bought more than 1 million Harvey slaves. Such a huge number of slaves poured into the Kingdom of Aden. The impact on the slave market in the Kingdom of Aden was considerable. The price of slaves was reduced to less than one-third of the original price. In the eyes of slave owners in Aden, slaves were cheap items that were inferior to animals, not to mention,
The price of a sheep can easily buy four slaves, slaves are simply synonymous with worthless
The drought in the south was poor, the food prices rose rapidly, and the slave owners seized the opportunity to hoard food. The result was that the food price fell through the highest ever recorded in southern Aden. This is like the last straw that crushed the camel. Southern Aden civilians They went bankrupt and had to sell themselves into slaves of nobility,
Slaves are not valuable. Feeding slaves with expensive food is definitely at a loss. In order to reduce losses, the slave owners of the nobles of Aden began to cut off the slaves on a large scale. As long as the young and strong are left, the old and weak are not only working No, and food is wasted in vain, no one has any surplus food in the family, and it is impossible to spend money to support the idlers. If at other times, these old, weak and sick slaves can be sold at a low price, and now it is the same in the entire south. The major slave owners felt that there were more slaves in their hands. Even at a low price, these old, weak and sick slaves were not interested, and they spent time and consumed food in vain.
By convention, slaves that cannot be sold are considered inferior goods. In order to reduce the loss of the owner, they can be buried alive. This is written in the private property law in the Aden Code
According to conservative estimates, in the month of September alone, the slave owners in southern Aden secretly buried more than 60,000 slaves alive, which is still recorded, and there are countless unrecorded, Aden that has not rained for five months The southern part is like a gunpowder barrel that can explode at any time. Five thousand empire elite cavalry go in and avoid the city that is difficult to capture. Instead, it strikes the plantation outside the city in a very orderly manner and kills the plantation. The nobles of Aden, all the slaves of the plantation are released, and the most important part is that the imperial cavalry ignited the noble’s grain warehouse deliberately when they attacked, and then went away.
At the moment, it was raining, the ground was muddy, and the rioting slaves rushed north in the famine and cold. The reason for the north is because the Aden army was fighting the imperial army in the southern city of Bersad, and the rioting slaves did not dare. To provoke the army, the torrent of slave riots everywhere, especially the large number of Harveys among the slaves, constituted the main force of this riot
These Harveys are full of hatred towards the Adens. The commonality of the same race makes these Harvey slaves far more united and combative than slaves of other races.
But what really caused these Harvey slaves to erupt was the news of the propaganda of the imperial army that broke into the hinterland. "The Martins have been defeated. The Harvey kingdom and the empire formed an alliance. The empire broke into the southern part of the Gulf of Aden to save the For the trafficking of the Harveys, the Imperial Navy Fleet has landed in the southern estuary. As long as the empire is assisted to defeat the Adens, the Empire can force the Adens to release all the Harvey slaves.
The imperial cavalry even showed the sign to the rescued Harvey slaves. There are announcements of King Harvey’s seal, and similar announcements have been posted along the way. For the current empire, paper has become quite popular,
Regardless of whether the news is true or not, for the desperate Harveys, the contents of these announcements are irresistible temptations. The country is ruined and their families are ruined. They are away from their hometowns by the slaves on the spot. Here, the brutal Aden slaves The Lord only regarded them as the cheapest tool. Even among the slave class, the influx of Harvey slaves was also considered by other slaves as the main reason for their plunge. Harvey slaves naturally became the lowest among slaves. In that way, the Harvey people unconsciously only have a group to keep warm,
The Adenites never imagined that the imperial emperor’s killer turned out to be these Harvey slaves
"All the Aden army went to Bersad, and now the Aden have no army in the south"
"Everyone can only bear starvation and die, and they don't want to starve and kill the Aden.
"Go home, everyone go home together"
The highly concentrated areas of slave plantations, every village, city, township, field, forest, resonated in the hearts of every living Harvey slave. So, from the top of the Gucci Mountain in the west to the shore of the rippling river, horrible killings were heard everywhere, and millions of Harvey slaves screamed out. These were slaughtered and sold by Martins. The Harvey people seemed to be awakened overnight, one person became two people, two people became a group, and the group joined the group again and became a team. The sickle and the stick were raised, and the sword was slammed. To the guards of the nearby Aden slave owners. Chopped the entire garrison into pulp, and then gathered more Harveys
"The Harveys are crazy!"
The slave owners everywhere were also terrified. They were used to facing those docile, gentle, and submissive slaves. The slaves with spikes had already been dealt with, and now, they suddenly felt their feet The earth is collapsing, and those Harvey slaves bought by them at the lowest price suddenly become so brave, and they are shockingly planting plantations everywhere, but the regional defense forces have all gone to Bersad, even they Half of the private soldiers under his command were in Bessad. In the face of the tide-like Harvey slave riots, the only thing the slave owners could do was to give up the plantation and curl up in their respective castles.
But they forgot that Harvey slaves were not only civilians, but also many captured Harvey soldiers, and even generals. These former soldiers of the Harvey kingdom shouted, "Our boys are coming!" As if suddenly popping out of the ground, countless Harveys armed with sickles and wooden spears came from all directions, and a team of more than a thousand people was pulled up on the spot. When they heard that the Harvey team had arrived, the slaves who were completely out of control came from all around. When they arrived, the Harvey people had already been promoted, so they chased in the direction of Harvey’s progress. Go, remorse all the way to know the news too late.
The crowd of people is like a small canal converging into a river, and the river flowing into the sea
At the beginning, the main body of the Harvey people was soon joined by other ethnic groups. As the visitors did not refuse to absorb them, the ranks of the rebellious slaves expanded like snowballs. Large and small feared chaos blossomed throughout the southern provinces as a combat unit. In general, the requirement is not just the number of people. Although so many slaves are rushed to form a new team, the experienced Harvey soldiers quickly became the core of the entire team’s battle, and the riots began to become real storms. In Daru City, an astonishing number of rioting slaves rushed into the town like a torrent and tsunami. They started a street battle with the garrison team in the town. Half an hour later, all the Aden garrison team was cut into pieces, and the slaves looted the town More than 13,000 Adenites were killed
Outside the city of Slam in the southern province, more than 1,000 Aden garrison troops were killed, and the rest of the city fled panic and abandoned the city, completely ignoring the life and death of more than 30,000 Aden civilians in the city.
Just at Deer Hill, less than fifty miles from the city of Bessad, the center of the Empire and Aden Wars, more than 30,000 Harvey slaves attacked the Aden’s logistics transport team, wearing Harvey slaves with the bright flame symbol of the Harvey faith, More than two thousand Aden soldiers were dispersed, and the logistics of the Aden army were carried away
Outside Icham Castle, there are 30,000 slaves surrounding the castle, not including the team that follows them, they are hidden in the dense forest, waiting quietly and patiently until the next day the sun rising. Seeing that Icam Castle closed its gates and refused to fight, the rioting slaves retreated somewhat unwillingly
There was a shocking night, but the rioting slave appeared on the vital Issam mountain!
This news shook the whole of Aden. The Issam family was hailed as the gateway to the Gulf of Aden from the south. The battle of decades ago laid a strategic position for Issam Castle. The place is rich in products. With a vast hilly barrier, the rebel slaves dared to rush to Issam Castle. If they occupied Issam Castle, they could easily enter the Gulf of Aden directly in the Kingdom’s core area, and the damage caused was second. The impact of the rioting slaves' impact on the hinterland of the Gulf of Aden was the main reason why the Adenites could not sit firmly. The Kingdom of Aden was about to enter the ranks of the empire, but even a small slave rebellion could not be suppressed. Are you eligible to wear the crown of the empire, this is a naked face, not only will it become the laughing stock of the entire continent, it will be forcibly promoted to the empire level, in other people’s discussions, it is just a broken and fake empire
This kind of argument was like a pot of cold water pouring down to the Adenites. Even King Aden couldn't stand it at the moment. How much effort was allowed to allow flaws, and he was still beaten by a bunch of lowly slaves. The furious King Aden held an emergency military meeting, and another legion, one of the two armies of the capital of Aden, the second army of Aden quietly left the capital.
"Huhu"
With a roaring stone throwing across the sky in an arc of death, and then violently smashed into the crowd, blood splashed, howling everywhere
Under the city of Bersad, the Aden army launched another offensive, braving the arrows clusters that were generally shot in the face of heavy rain, and the Aden army queue slowly moved to the front. This time, not only slaves, but also more than 30,000 Aden garrison troops, These squadrons carried shields and spears and followed behind the group of slaves. The black-pressed queue was like the tide, and the mountain-like spears stood up high in the sky, and the wind blew the flag, making the sound of hunting.
This time, Tobras took 15,000 of his 4th army, the military food was almost reaching its limit, all preparations were quite adequate, and the messenger from the king capital sent the order of His Majesty the King. Inside, His Majesty the King proclaimed Tobras for so long, that the situation in the south eroded to such an extent that the slave rebellion in the south was because Tobras ordered the evacuation of the private troops of the garrison and slave owners everywhere. , Leading to the inability of the entire southern nobility to suppress the rebellion in front of them, which caused the snowball to the extent that it is now very difficult to manage,
A large number of siege towers are pushed like tall buildings, with fire protection in front, and the wooden wheels below are covered with iron sheet, which is crushed on the ground and makes a heavy noise. The heralds of horse riding are running in various squares. In the passage between them, the password "Ready!" was issued loudly. Behind the entire attack line, eight thousand Yading archers were divided into six columns, and they were giving arrows to their strong bows with a cold expression.
When the two armies approached a hundred steps, Arrows flying in the air fell into the dense queue of the Adenites, splashing a flower and moaning. The Aden soldier in the arrow fell silently, and the soldiers in the back stood a step forward without speaking. Make up the vacancy in the queue. The captains of the infantry commanded: "Shield!" Suddenly, the shield players lifted their shields to the sky to cover them, and looked from above. The front row of the entire queue showed a metal reflection, as if they suddenly had more metal Roof. Suddenly, the arrows jingled and shot the shield wall, but it could not cause any harm.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, the bows and arrows of the Imperial Army can't hurt you," the former commander shouted.
"Rush!" The Aden soldiers roared like thunder and launched a charge. They ran forward in large strides and rushed towards the enemy formation with the turbulent momentum of the mountains and the sea. The gray crowd surging and expanding like waves, shouting killings , The momentum is amazing, when they rushed to a distance of about fifty steps, the powerful imperial crossbow began to shoot. At this distance, the powerful crossbow fired, and the damage caused was terrible. There was an amazing hustle and bustle, "Ah, ah..." The cries continued, and the hundreds of warriors who rushed to the front immediately fell halfway. The successor moved forward courageously, another terrible metal storm caught in the middle of the crowd, the infantry queue seemed to be pinched by paper mud, and the click of the spear was broken everywhere.
"Ah!" The shouting shouts, like a terrible storm, were released in an instant, hitting the first row of the Empire's heavy steel crossbow and shooting through the human body, followed by the second row~EbookFREE.me~ the third row, The people behind were squeezed away like a crashing ball, the steel collided fiercely and pierced! There was a pungent blood in the air, and the red mist was scattered. It was a scene in which human blood was squeezed and exploded, and their blood was flowing in vain.
The Imperial heavy crossbow vehicle is definitely a highly efficient killing machine with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Although the Adenians are full of war this time, the gap between weapons and strength is quite ruthless, and as the center of the main attack, it is paid attention to. The Thundergods of the Hundred Gates slammed at the attack line of the central crowd, the explosions of the fire were dense, the corpses were heavy, and the casualties were heavy. The violent attack wave was like a sea wave hitting the reef, smashing it all.
The fierce battle lasted for two full hours before the trumpeter of Aden sounded the withdrawal trumpet, and the offensive troops with heavy casualties did not intend to fight again, and the team poured down from the front line like a low tide. In the past two hours, the Aden Army has killed more than 6,000 people in battle and suffered quite a lot of injuries. On the Imperial Army, the city’s fire protection has decreased a lot in about an hour. Under the harassment, the supplies of the imperial army began to run out
At this time, the Aden Army also shouted thunderously, "The Fourth Army is moving forward! The flash of a weapon is burning, the whole queue is black and black, and only the sound of the impact of the sword and the friction of the armor are heard. People. Fifteen thousand Zhang Hao's faces shouted in unison, "Long live Aden', the sky is cracking!
