Chapter 453: A New and Strange World
With a heavy sigh of relief, Chu He walked into the void of Doumen, after Xuanguang, time and space reversed, and the colorful starlight wrapped Chu He, which was about to bring him to a strange era.
I don't know how long it took, a crisp sound of "pop" sounded in my ears, and then a sharp pain surged in my body, Chu He opened his eyes, and a tragic and tragic picture was displayed in front of him.
The long procession, walking on the yellow sand illuminated by the setting sun, turned out to be a group of prisoners of war, all barefoot, half naked, and the only thing on their bodies was a pair of cloth shorts, each prisoner of war had their hands tied behind their backs, and the iron cables were connected, and from a distance, there was no end in sight.
On the side of the prisoners of war, two teams of cavalry roamed, their swords shining with murderous spirits.
And Chu He turned out to be one of the prisoners of war.
What era is this, where is this, everything in front of you is very strange.
There was another "snap", a leather whip, fell heavily on his body, and a blood stain immediately appeared on his body, but the pain made him more sober, different from the previous two trainings, the Chu River at this moment is no longer the Chu River, everything about him seems to have crossed, just crossed into a prisoner of war, a soldier who is about to face killing and die, humble and insignificant.
No one will remember his name, like the dust of history, insignificant.
"Hurry up, who dares to put on the itinerary and die!" A cavalryman approached, the spear in his hand stabbed out, and a "poof" sound came from Chu He's ears, and when he looked back, he saw that a prisoner was stabbed to death, and it was precisely because this tortured and overwhelmed person fell that Chu He would be whipped down, and the loss of a life, not even a shout, died quietly.
Or in the eyes of these cavalrymen, the life of a prisoner of war is not much stronger than an ant, but this kind of killing let Chu He know that he has come to an era of iron-blooded chaos again, and it is the era of cold weapons.
The corpses were abandoned, as if to warn all the prisoners of war, and the procession moved slowly.
In the distance, the sand and dust were blowing, and several war horses galloped over.
The roar of "reporting -----" spread throughout the desert.
As the sound spread, there was a heavy sound of horses' hooves behind him, and a group of cavalry, surrounded by a general in armor, came up to meet him.
"Report to the General, the city lord of Sunset City has sent a word of mouth, hoping to buy this batch of prisoners of war. ”
"Very good, pass the order down, reroute to Sunset City, you must arrive before dark, those who fall behind, kill. ”
"Yes. ”
Soon, the cavalry wandering around received the order, the leather whip in his hand kept swinging, and there was a constant "popping" sound, and those prisoners of war who lost their strength and fainted were killed one by one, without a trace of resistance, or the defeat of the battlefield, which had deprived these prisoners of war of all their vitality, and they sank into it and let them be slashed and killed.
For them, death is the final destination and a kind of relief.
The queue of prisoners of war trotted up, and Chu He also received a lot of whips, but he did not resist, because he had obtained too little information now, and with his current physical strength, in the face of these cavalry, I am afraid that he would not be able to resist, and the long queue had at least five thousand cavalry.
Sunset City has never been heard of, unlike any dynasty known to the Chu River.
After crossing the barren sandy area and entering the green grass, the temperature slowly dropped, and in the distance, an ancient city slowly appeared in front of them, and Chu He, these prisoners of war, could finally stop and rest, and they were surrounded by cavalry, as for the general who had just met, he led more than half of the cavalry towards the ancient city.
"One person for each group, fetch water, distribute food, rioters, kill. ”
I poured a wooden scoop of water and got a cake, very rough food, but everyone got the food, they all gobbled it up, this is the life of prisoners of war, not far away, a fire was lit, a smell of barbecued meat, constantly came, those should be the food that the cavalry eat, and even the smell of wine.
Watching the cavalry dismount, tearing flesh, drinking wine, and laughing wildly, formed a contrast between heaven and hell.
It was slowly dark, torches were lit all around, all the prisoners of war lay down, the kind lying on their sides, and the chains on their bodies were not removed, but Chu He suddenly found that not far from him, a strong man, with a finger-wide knife, kept sawing the iron lock in his hand, he hid it very well, if it wasn't for Chu He's full eyesight, he really couldn't find it.
The most important thing is that through this big man, Chu He felt that there was an invisible force around him that was helping him cover up.
Chu He didn't say anything, just quietly recovered his strength, and now he knew that these cavalry were from a country called the Changfeng Empire, but he couldn't understand that in the history that Chu He knew, there was no existence of this country, this was no longer history, it should be a different time and space.
The night was deep, the cold dew invaded the body, compared with the heat in the barren sand during the day, it was bitterly cold at the moment, and the temperature was at two extremes.
Those lit bonfires had warmth, but none of this belonged to them, the prisoners of war.
With a "click", Chu He found that the strong man's hands were free, but he did not act immediately, but waited quietly for a while, moved his wrist, and then began to swim slowly, yes, he crawled on the grass, Chu He knew that his target was the place where the war horse was placed.
Only by getting a war horse can there be any hope of survival.
Chu He also moved, his arms stretched out slightly, and the iron cables tied around his wrists were all broken, just one arm, but it hit him, and then a low voice sounded: "Don't move, don't affect Captain Lalo's actions, we are the vanguard battalion of the Great Xia Empire, and we are here to save you." ”
Chu He didn't expect that it was not just the strong man who was here, in the surrounding area, there were already many people who had opened their eyes, and they didn't seem to be sleeping, and they seemed to be waiting for this moment.
The person who spoke had already moved his body over, thirty years old, quite strong, and a little heroic.
"Save us?"
"No matter who you are, you are all the people of Great Xia, and the empress sent us here just to save you out, otherwise everyone here will become slaves of the Changfeng Empire. ”
"I know that you are not weak, but with your strength, you can't stop the attack of the cavalry, don't let so many people be killed because of you alone. ”
Chu He had a lot to ask, but he was afraid that he would suspect it, and seeing that this man had a righteous face, he was very angry, and he had a lot of good feelings in his heart, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Under the seat of General Wu, the deputy capital of the Sixth Guards Pioneer Battalion of the Third Army Corps is Fang Blood. ”
Chu He stretched out his hand and tore off the chains on the body of this man called Fang Xueduwei, only to see a happy look on his face, staring at Chu He's eyes, with a little scrutiny and surprise, he sighed lightly: "I didn't expect that among the prisoners of war, there are masters such as you, who are you?"
Who am I? Chu He really didn't know how to answer, in this world, he was an outsider.
"I'm just a passerby. This can be regarded as Chu He's answer.
But he didn't expect it, but this Fang Blood immediately had an answer by himself: "It turns out that you are a ranger, thank you, may I ask the name of Gao?"
"Chu River. ”
"Chu Xiashi, can you help and open the chains for my brothers?"
Chu He did not refuse, and opened the chains of eight people, these people should all be Fang Xue's subordinates, because at this moment, after regaining their freedom, these people had already come to Fang Xue's side, carefully paying attention to the movements around them.
"Our plan was to snatch the horses, then the weapons, cut off the chains of all the prisoners, and destroy the two thousand cavalry. ”
I have to say that these people are really bold, and they really dare to do it.
"How many of you are there?"
"Three hundred guards. Fang Xuecai finished speaking, but he felt a little regretful, and said: "Six were killed on the road, and now there are two hundred and ninety-four people. ”
With 294 people wanting to kill 2,000 cavalry, it has to be admired, but with Chu He's perception, the strength of these people is not strong, it all depends on a morale that is not afraid of death, maybe in this battle, they will all die.
"You are not strong enough. Chu He said softly.
"But we have these tens of thousands of prisoner brothers, as long as we open their chains, the cavalry without war horses is enough to destroy them, we have been waiting for this opportunity for seven days, these five thousand war cavalry are powerful, if it were not for the general of the imperial guard to enter the city, we would not dare to break out tonight. ”
Chu He knew that this general of the imperial guard should be the general of the cavalry army he had seen during the day, and he took away 3,000 cavalry, so he used these 2,000 cavalry to take care of these tens of thousands of prisoners of war.
After a few days of exhaustion, these prisoners of war were exhausted one by one, and they had iron locks tied to their hands, but it was estimated that the other party did not expect that among these prisoners of war, there were hundreds of soldiers, if they could really gather the strength of tens of thousands of prisoners of war, the outcome of this battle was really hard to say.
With 10,000 people, against 2,000 cavalry, it is also to hit a stone with an egg, but the problem is a sneak attack, once these cavalry lose their horses, their strength is only average.
"Duwei, the captain gave the signal. ”
This blood did not speak to Chu He again, and all his attention suddenly shifted to the front, looking at the place where the bonfire was lit, where a column of tents was erected, which was where the cavalry rested, and their war horses were all behind the tents.
"Pass the word and get ready for action. ”
"Yes. A regained free figure slowly receded, as if to convey an order.
At this time, Fang Xue, who had a cold face, turned his head, glanced at Chu He, and said: "Brother Chu, we are all people of Great Xia, please help us, so that these brothers can return with their lives and meet their relatives." ”
Chu He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you." ”
In fact, Chu He has no choice, because in this strange world, he almost knows nothing, since he has collided, let's take advantage of the situation, who said that after this Doumen, he will be in such a dangerous situation?
"Thank you, Brother Chu, my blood will not die tonight, I will definitely invite you to drink. ”
Fighting with their lives, just for a meal and wine, Chu He was speechless, but for the sake of these people's fearless anger, let's make a friend!
Heroes emerge in troubled times, and these people can be called heroes, which are rarely seen in peaceful times.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the night sky: "What kind of person----- fast, fast drums." ”
And at this time, Fang Xue barely hesitated, and took the lead in standing up and shouting: "Attack, kill!"
The next moment, like a mad tiger, the man rushed towards the barracks tent with a few subordinates.
Chu He's movements, of course, were also very fast, although he got up late, but the speed was faster than this blood, but unfortunately, the drum had already sounded, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the camp in the tent immediately opened like boiling water.
These are battle-hardened veterans, and as soon as the drums beat, they know danger is coming.
