Chapter 1505: Pathetic and hateful
At this point, the bandit group has reined in, but they also occasionally come out to make trouble, and for the weaker caravans, they will still carry out robberies, but they will kill fewer people.
In order to ensure the safety of the caravan in the nameless town, Kui Ye will send members of the Volunteer Corps branch from time to time to patrol this area.
As soon as the bandit group appeared, it dealt a heavy blow, forcing the bandit groups to gradually abandon the nameless town.
It was from that time that Zhang Ye, whose safety was guaranteed, decided to work alone and earn money in a small and living way.
"Is Kui Ye so powerful?" Yichen couldn't help but interject and asked.
Although in the eyes of Lord Li, Kui Ye can be regarded as a great hero, and he has been praised by the people for his actions.
However, hearing is believing and seeing is believing, Master Li and Kui Ye are friends, and it is normal to exaggerate.
This Zhang Ye is obviously not a member of the Volunteer Corps Branch, but has experienced the changes in the past few years, and what he said is more convincing.
"Actually, if you fight alone, the strong men of the bandit group may be able to defeat Kuiye, but the volunteer regiment branch led by Kuiye can defeat almost all the bandit groups in this area.
It is said that the three bandit groups united and entangled with the branch of the Kui Ye's volunteer group, and it is said that they fought for more than a month, and the final result was that the bandit group was defeated and fled......"
Speaking of the bravery of Kui Ye and the Volunteer Corps Branch, Zhang Ye blushed, as if he had participated in that battle, and he was full of excitement.
Although the victory of Kui Ye was due to the strength of the Volunteer Corps Branch, it was not the only reason.
The battle was going on to a fever pitch, and all sides were suffering huge losses, and the heroes of the Volunteer Corps branch were gradually at a disadvantage in number and strength.
If it continues, Kuiye's team will face failure.
For each bandit group, the victory of this battle determines whether the financial route of the nameless town will be cut off in the future, and the overall interests will be lost and owned.
Of course, the Kui Ye is also very aware of this, if this battle is lost, the volunteer corps branch will be slumped, otherwise, the bandit group can be driven out, and the caravan will be peaceful.
Everyone is bound to win, even if the combat power is consumed too much, they dare not give in lightly, just try their best to support and strive not to lose.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a group of ordinary people with sticks in their hands joined Kuiye's team.
Most of these people have low cultivation and no tactical literacy, and there are even old and weak women and children mixed in, which seems to be a rabble.
In the eyes of the leader of the bandit group, these people are no threat to him, as long as he dispatches a random battle commander and strong man, he may be able to annihilate them all.
However, things turned out to be more than anyone expected.
Several old men and women, with sticks in their hands, crowded to the front of the team and shouted at the three bandits:
"Guys, please stop for the time being, we have something to say......"
Both the Volunteer Corps Branch and the Robber Regiment were confused by the changes in front of them.
Looking at these ragged old men, they were suspicious in their hearts, not knowing what they were going to say.
The two sides were fighting fiercely, and suddenly a group of civilians ran out, which was originally an unbelievable thing.
Even the most wicked robbers would not be interested in them, and if they had nothing worth plundering, it would be of no benefit to them all to be killed.
In doubt, the battle situation fell into a state of pause, and the Kui Ye side naturally did not embarrass the people, and the bandit group did not want to cause trouble.
"We are the villagers of Huangbei Village, Beiming Town, and many of the heroes on the other side must have gone out of Huangbei Village. ”
A lean old man, trembling, pointed to the side of the bandit group, and said with grief and indignation:
"Have you ever thought that you are taking it by force outside, but your parents and relatives are suffering the fate of being robbed by others.
Appearing here are all the surviving villagers of Huangbei Village, a total of ninety-six, you can see if your parents, wives and children are still alive......"
While the old man was talking, the two gray-haired old women next to him couldn't help their grief, and muddy tears flowed down unscrupulously.
The small open space between the two warring sides was soon drowned out by the sound of weeping old and weak women and children, some calling out for their sons, some for their husbands.
The battle situation that had just stopped was turned into chaos by the cries and shouts one after another.
"Bastard!" one of the bandit leaders roared in exasperation.
He was about to command his team to continue the battle, but was interrupted by a miserable cry.
"Mother, I'm Xiaoliu, what about my father, what about my mother?"
In the ranks of the bandits, a middle-aged man rushed out and staggered to the old woman who was kneeling and weeping.
"Son, they're all gone......"
After a choked voice, the mother and son hugged their heads and cried.
The grief spread, and some members of the bandit group left the team one after another to look for their relatives on the other side.
A moment ago, it was still a battlefield of desperate fighting, but now it has become a mutual search between relatives.
Whether it was found or not, it was a tearful look on his face, and he kept asking what happened.
Huangbei Village is located in the remote mountain col of Beiming Town, which was not too poor originally, although the grain harvest often fails, but because there are some small beasts nearby, they can be hunted and eaten, and life is passable.
However, more than ten years ago, a group of robbers suddenly came, looted almost all the belongings of the villagers in Huangbei Village, and killed the villagers who tried to resist.
Since then, every once in a while, the village has to be visited by robbers, and when the robbers leave, all the villagers will face the dilemma of hunger and cold.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will think about change, and the villagers of Huangbei Village are also thinking about how to change the status quo of the crisis.
Confronting the fierce bandits is tantamount to seeking their own death, doing business and trading, with no capital and no way, and no skills to make a living except for hunting and cultivating.
In desperation, a group of young men made an unexpected decision, that is, to go out and become robbers.
The villagers, who were tossed and frightened by the robbers, threw themselves into the bandit business in order to survive, although it was dishonorable, but it was also a means of livelihood.
The parents, wives and children at home don't agree with each other, but they have to live.
Even if he didn't want to, he had to send his relatives away in tears.
Those villagers who went out to be robbers had an agreement with each other that they would only rob property and not kill people, and leave a small amount of property for the robbed so that the family could return to their hometown so as not to die on the way.
Most of the looted property, in addition to their own expenses, was sent back to Huangbei Village every now and then to give their families and poor villagers a chance to live.
"These villagers, hateful and pathetic......" Piao Ran sighed when he listened.
It is simply incomprehensible to hate the robbers for ruining their peaceful life, and to repeat the robbers' actions of passing through other innocent people.
"It's stupid, but when survival is threatened, how many people can keep to themselves. ”
Yichen sighed, survival may be the most important thing, but there must be a bottom line.
Perhaps, for those villagers who have joined the bandit group, it is already very merciful not to kill people and leave a little belonging.
But he never thought that his behavior and the robbers who robbed Huangbei Village were just fifty steps and a hundred steps.
"Yes, so they were retributed...... "Zhang Ye thought so, and tried the black badger soup brought by Xiao Er, but it felt too hot, so he put down the bowl and continued to talk about the development of things.
The bandit groups participated by the villagers of Huangbei Village are basically small or medium-sized bandit groups, and they often fight with each other for interests, and life is not very good.
There was a large bandit group that wanted to take them in, but they refused, the reason is simple, this large bandit group is the gang that ransacked Huangbei Village and forced them to embark on the road of bandits.
As a result, the robbers offended the robbers, and all kinds of frictions continued to occur, and these small or medium-sized bandit groups did not dare to operate in the area of North Stygian Town, for fear of being exterminated by the other party.
As a result, the nameless town became their first target.
The intervention of the Kui Ye and the branch of the Volunteer Corps is equivalent to cutting off their financial routes, and fighting is inevitable.
It's just that what they didn't expect was how their parents and family could appear in a nameless town, and still stand on the side of the Kui Ye to prevent their victory.
"The Ice Explosion Bandit Group is going to slaughter the village, if it weren't for Kui Ye and his people to arrive, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Huangbei Village would escape...... "An old woman stopped sobbing and said through gritted teeth.
"Is that the Ice-Blasting Bandit who wants to force us to join?"
"That's what they say......"
The villagers of Huangbei Village had long been frightened by the robbers, and no one dared to ask more.
Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out, and the rest are more old, weak, sick and disabled, and these people have not cared about their belongings being robbed even if they want to save their lives.
Every time they are looted, they try to hide from their family members who go out to be robbers, so as to prevent them from becoming angry on the spur of the moment.
But this time it was different, the robbers not only plundered the property, but also wanted to wash the deserted North Village with blood, saying that it was a little powerful for the robbers who did not want to be absorbed.
This made the villagers panic, and in a hurry, they could hardly do anything but escape.
But in the face of wolf-like robbers and unarmed villagers, there is no way to survive at all.
The villagers who fled in front were brutally beheaded by the robbers before they left the village, and dozens of bloody heads rolled everywhere, shocking all the villagers at once.
Just when the villagers had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, a group of men and horses suddenly fell from the sky and fought with the bandits.
The leader is the leader of the Volunteer Corps Branch, Kuiye, who has reached the realm of a strong man of war.
Huangbei Village has nothing to do with the Volunteer Corps Branch, but because Kuiye couldn't bear the difficulties of the villagers' lives, he once sent people to deliver food and help the villagers, so that the villagers knew that there was a Volunteer Corps Branch.
