Chapter Seventy-Two: The Imperial Court is not even as good as a thief

Overseer Deshun said with a hideous face, thinking that this Han slave was pretending to be dead, and the whip in his hand was drawn towards the Han slave on the ground like a storm.

For a while, the crisp sound of snapping and popping sounded one after another.

But the Han man was still lying on the ground motionless, and a large piece of flesh and blood on his back had disappeared, and even the bones were about to be exposed.

"Damn, you dare to pretend to be dead, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

Deshun's face is still hideous, and he can't stand being deceived the most, especially as a Han slave.

You're playing dead, aren't you?!

Then you're really going to die!

"Your Excellency...... He's dead......"

An old slave couldn't stand it anymore and spoke.

However, as soon as he spoke, a whip was whipped in his face.

With a snap, a deep blood streak appeared on the face of the old Han slave, and blood trickled down his cheek.

"Damn, I told you to be nosy!"

However, just as he raised his whip and was about to whip it at the old slave again, he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly under his feet.

Deshun, who had been on the battlefield, could easily identify that this was a movement caused by a large force of cavalry galloping.

A large puff of smoke and dust suddenly rose on the horizon in the distance, and a loud shout of killing sounded, and the Dang Capture Army took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to enter the Xiaoling River Salt Field.

The heavy cavalry began to sweep away the defenders who were trying to organize themselves to resist, throwing their formation into disarray, and the foot soldiers of the Sweepman followed and began a fierce battle.

Oooooooo......oo

The weapons were exchanged, and the weapons of the Western Xia army were slashed on the plate armor of the Dang Capture Army, which could only make a crisp sound, and it could not break through the defense at all.

The weapons of the Dang Capture Army slashed at the Western Xia army, but they could easily break through their leather armor, pierce their flesh and blood, and take their lives.

The Dang captives fought in formation, and soon defeated the unorganized Western Xia army.

Half an hour later, the stubborn resistance of the Western Xia army was completely over, and nearly 600 of the nearly 2,000 defenders in the Xiaolinghe salt field were killed, and the rest all surrendered.

Chen Yan was wearing heavy armor, and under the escort of the personal guards, he walked into the Xiaolinghe mine, and all of them were corpses, all of them were the corpses of the Western Xia army.

The casualties of the Sweepers in this battle were not large, or the casualties of the Sweepers in that battle were not large!

In this glorious battle, the plate armor on the Swinging Army has played a decisive role, and there are not many that can break through the defenses of the Swinging Army in this era.

Only heavy cavalry, pikemen, meteor hammers and other heavy weapons, etc.!

If you want to massively kill and injure the Swinging Army, all you can do is the cluster charge of the heavy cavalry, and the Swinger Army is not out of the way to face the cluster charge of the heavy cavalry.

Artillery, earth-shattering thunder, are all big killers!

In the entire salt field, all the Western Xia were caught and tied with their hands and feet together.

Then, Chen Yan discovered a scene that made him feel angry!

In this salt field, it turned out that the laborers were Han slaves!

Looking at these ragged, thin and scarred Han slaves in front of him, Chen Yan's eyes were wet.

Especially when he learned about the tragic plight of these Han people, the anger burning in his heart was even greater!

These Han people had to work for ten hours, or twenty hours, every day, with only one meal, a bowl of gruel, and a black nest mixed with gravel and dirt, and moldy.

That's pretty good, sometimes there's not even gruel!

Even when you are sick, you have to work, and if you slack off, you will be whipped until you die.

Even some old people will be killed directly when they reach a certain age and can no longer work.

Dozens of Hermes-Epitek die in the salt pans every day.

When the Han people in the salt works died, the Western Xia army would invade the Great Song Dynasty, and then recapture the Han people.

Chen Yan was angry, completely angry.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he lifted up the old man who was kneeling in front of him and told him about the misery of the Han people.

Looking at the whip marks on the old man's face, he handed the saber around his waist to the old man.

"Old man, those Xixia dogs have been tied up, weapons are given to you, revenge for revenge, and complaints for grievances!"

The old man's eyes moistened instantly, and he didn't ask for the long knife handed over by Chen Yan, but with red eyes, he walked towards those Xixia people step by step.

Looking at the old man who walked in step by step with red eyes, those Xixia people who usually flaunted their martial arts and stood tall were so frightened that they peed their pants.

They desperately begged for mercy, but no one paid attention to them, and the swords and guns in the hands of the soldiers were pointed at them, and as long as there was the slightest movement, it would immediately be a bloody hole.

The old man rushed to Deshun, who was still in great spirits just now, and did not use a weapon, but opened his mouth and bit down.

"Ahhh......h

A large piece of meat on Deshun's face was bitten off by the old man, and blood sprayed everywhere, letting out a miserable howl.

"Ah......hh The old man killed you, the grandson of the old man, the son of the old man......"

The old man chewed the flesh and blood in his mouth, tears flowed, he remembered his tragic death of his son and grandson, and he bit down on Deshun, as if he wanted to swallow Deshunsheng.

Let Deshun scream, but no one sympathizes, and the soldiers and soldiers were also angry after hearing what happened to the Hanmin in the salt field, and they couldn't wait to go up and kill all these Tangut people, so they didn't bother to care about a Tangut person's request for help.

One by one, the originally silent and cowardly Han people became extremely crazy and pounced on the Tangut people who were tied up with ropes.

They bite with their teeth, smash with their fists, kick with their feet, with stones, with sticks, with hoes and shovels......

Looking at the crazy scene in front of him, Chen Yan's eyelids drooped and he held Liu Yueying's small hand beside him.

If Liu Yueying hadn't saved herself, I'm afraid she would be as miserable as these Hanmin now!

It's just that it was the Qiang people who took him captive!

After a long time, all the Tangut people in the salt field were dead, and they were all killed by these angry Han people.

That old man came to Chen Yan, but at this time he had calmed down and didn't see the madness just now.

"The adult saved the life of the little old man, and let the little old man take revenge, Weizhou raised Zhou Lide, and he is willing to serve under the conversion of the adult!"

Chen Yan glanced at Zhou Lide and asked.

"Are you sure?"

"Naturally, it is certain that Xiao Lao'er is not a person who knows how to repay his kindness."

"I'm a thief."

Chen said in a calm tone.

Zhou Lide nodded as if he had expected it.

"Little Lao'er knows."

"How do you know?"

Chen Yan asked with some curiosity, this little old man is a little interesting.

"The Great Song Dynasty will not take the initiative to conquer Western Xia."

Zhou Lide's face was full of wry smiles.

The external strategy of the Great Song Dynasty, since the Divine Sect, has not taken the initiative to attack.

Now those who dare to act directly against the Western Xia Army, who else can they go out to fight against the thieves?!

An anti-thief is even tougher than the imperial court, and dares to directly launch a counterattack against a country, I have to say that this is simply the sorrow of the imperial court, not even as good as an anti-thief.
