Chapter 702: Prison
It is the closest to Shanshui, and it is also the closest to the Buddha country, a big Han border city, called Prison Pass City.
This city was originally the outermost border city of the Han Dynasty, and it was built by the prisoners who were sent here in the past.
At sunrise, a tall man appeared on the gate tower of the prison gate.
He was wearing bronze armor, but he couldn't see any patterns, because the armor was covered with various sword marks.
The density of these deep and shallow, new and old, sword marks, is like dandelion flowers blooming on the surface of the armor.
Especially in the sun. Some metal sections are constantly shining with golden light, as if there are strips of cold electricity swimming in them.
Some of the sword marks were several inches deep, but they were still not transparent. This only shows that the thickness of this armor has reached a very alarming level.
The most important thing is that these sword marks are too dense, and the force carried on these sword marks is squeezed. The metal texture of the armor itself seems to have changed, and some crystalline light has even appeared in the metal.
The tall man's face was also large, and he looked more rugged than the man in Guanzhong, and he had two long knives staggered on his back instead of a sword.
The scabbard is leather, simple sewn, and even the long hair on it has not faded, and it looks like a wolf skin on the grassland.
The handle was pale yellow, with some very moist purple red, not like metal, but like some kind of jade.
The man's eyes were also like gems, shining with a natural blue luster, pure as the sky on the prairie.
He looked at the plain in front of him from afar, and this small city, which originally had only 3,000 soldiers, had gathered nearly 10,000 people in just a few days.
And tonight the last army of 2,000 men arrives, and this small city will truly become a frontier town with an army of 10,000 people.
A morning breeze blew.
The wind came from the good water, carrying a chill and moisture, adding some solemn meaning out of thin air.
The wind brought the smell of cow and sheep dung in the distance, and the withered yellow blades of grass surged like waves in the ocean.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a group of fast horses quickly entered the city, which was an order from His Majesty.
"What !! let my 8,000 men attack it???Why??The river is so shallow, how can I defend it?" Soon, the roar of the general sounded on the castle tower!!
"Your Majesty means to give those rebels some dismount. General, if you don't do it. There are people who are willing to do it. The heralds were clearly subordinate to him, but the commanding style disgusted him.
"Slaughter the city, the two countries are at war...... Civilians are innocent. The general fell to one knee and clenched his hands into fists, but he was shaking.
The face and tone of the herald of "General......" changed, and he was obviously angry, and he wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, he was blocked by the general's words.
"Minister, take the order. ”
Obviously, he didn't expect the general to be so happy to receive the order, and the person who gave the order was obviously stunned for a moment, but still handed over the holy order.
This land of Buddhism, which is not even a city, was occupied by the Han army with little resistance.
The generals tread the withered grass. Slowly follow the road formed by the trampling of galloping horses on weekdays, and walk towards the center of the town.
In the middle of this small town, there is a large open space.
This open space was originally used as a place for gatherings to seek Buddha. But at this time, there were I don't know how many people knelt densely, most of them were women and children.
The general appeared and calmly glanced at the scene. Then he waved his hand and walked out of the city.
The densely kneeling women and children began to sob loudly.
After a few moments, the weepings turned into cries of terror and finally calmed down. The entire central square was stained bright red with blood.
"These bodies must be disposed of immediately. ”
When standing on the gate tower of this border city, looking at the square stained red with blood, Lin Ji said slowly.
"What to do!"
Lin Giant couldn't help but cry out angrily.
His body trembled violently.
He didn't want to vent his emotions like Lin Ji. It's just that he can't imagine why Lin Ji can still maintain such a calm when he sees such a picture.
"Your anger and hatred now outweigh your sorrow. ”
Lin Ji turned his head to look at Lin Giant, and his face gradually became cold. "This is war, anger and hatred against the enemy who has already missed, and can only make you act very impulsively. This leads to bigger mistakes, which makes little sense. ”
"Nothing to do?"
Lin Giant's face became unusually white, and he bit his lip tightly. A voice squeezed out between his teeth, "You don't want me to hate the enemies who slaughtered this city?"
Lin Ji was silent for a moment and said, "You have to understand." It is not these generals who lead the army to fight that can cause war, but always the highest ranking people in the world. If you get to the bottom of it, who caused it?"
Lin Giant's breathing gradually stopped, he only felt that he couldn't fully agree with Lin Ji's words, but he didn't know how to refute it.
"Hate doesn't solve the problem. It's better to find out if anyone has survived. Since we can't clean up the corpses here, we can take these living people out for so long. ”
A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Lin Ji's mouth. "I'm afraid it won't be long before there are a lot of serious infections here. ”
Hearing this, Lin Giant hurriedly ran towards the square.
"There are people alive. When Giant Lin found a living person, he shouted loudly.
"Nineteen people. There were no serious injuries, most of them were minor, two of them were children. ”
"Calm them down. Take them with you, and get out of here at once, if nothing else. The Han army will soon retreat to Shanshui, and if we are discovered, we may not be able to protect them thoroughly. Lin Ji thought for a while. Say it cautiously.
Lin Ji carefully chose a suitable route and led them to retreat towards the Buddha country.
However, there are many people in the group, old and weak, women and children, the speed of action is too slow, and the ...... What worries Lin Ji the most has happened.
The light on the plains became dimmer and dimmer.
Dusk is approaching.
Hundreds of Han cavalry appeared on the meadow eight hundred paces away from Lin Ji and the forest giant.
Different from the array used by the Han army, this scout army, with hundreds of horsemen, was completely stretched into a horizontal line, densely packed like a forest almost at the same time.
These tall horses and saddle knights obscure the view from behind, which makes it seem that there are no more cavalry behind these people, giving people a strong sense of intimidation.
Lin Ji crouched in the grass. He slowly raised his head, but his body did not move at all.
He had already explained everything that should be explained, so he didn't look at Lin Giant at all. Instead, he began to walk through the grass like a wolf.
It would be easy for Lin Ji and Lin Giant to deal with the cavalry of this squad, but these ordinary people behind them were probably going to suffer.
Lin Juju comforted the group of old and weak women and children who were trembling when they looked at the cavalry, and looked at Lin Ji's disappearing figure, but he didn't have much worry, although Lin Ji's body had just recovered at the moment, it was still very easy to deal with these more than 100 cavalry.
After confirming Lin Ji's arrival position, Lin Giant stood up, and his tall figure began to run forward.
Found the figure of the forest giant.
The cavalry, which was as neat as a line, moved at the same time.
The horse's hooves beat against the soft ground with a palpitating sound.
Three horsemen rushed out of the formation at lightning speed, instantly forming three straight forward waves in the sea of grass.
The remaining nearly 100 horsemen in the rear were slowly trotting, neatly trotting.
Snort!
The three feathered arrows broke through the air and landed accurately in the direction of the forest giant.
The forest giant stopped, and the closest of the three feathered arrows was only a few feet away from him.
In this moment.
There was a heavy thud.
Among the nearly 100 horsemen in front of him, one of them suddenly fell heavily into the wild grass, splashing a canopy of smoke mixed with countless yellow debris, and the war horse howled and could not stand up.
Then there was a heavy muffled sound and a roar.
The more than ten riders next to this ride fell to the ground in a miserable manner, just like the one who fell to the ground first.
Lin Giant's pupils contracted violently, and he saw a scene that made him stop breathing.
He had never seen such a speed of killing, or rather, the speed at which the cavalry lost their horses.
These hundred people fell off their horses almost at the same time.
Then Lin Ji began to kill.
The speed is extremely terrifying and begins to kill.
