Chapter 327: Instigation

The surrounding slaves all lowered their heads, and the Rouran soldiers who were shot were even more angry when they saw this scene, and no one paid attention to him! His gaze kept scanning the crowd of slaves, and a young, stocky slave came into his sight, and in his opinion, this person was the most suspicious.

Rou Ran rushed to the young slave and stretched out his hand to grab the hem of his shirt and asked, "Did you do it?"

The young slave looked up at the Rouran soldier, he was silent, his eyes full of hatred.

"You don't admit it, do you? Okay, it's okay if you don't admit it, whether you admit it or not, it's what you did! Rou Ran said and slapped him.

With a "snap", the young slave was slapped, his cheeks swollen at a visible rate, and he endured the pain, his eyes still staring at Rou Ranbing without blinking.

Rou Ranbing scolded: "What are you staring at? Do you dare to stare at it? With that, he slapped him again, and he was angry and kept chasing after the young slave.

The young slave let him beat him and did not fight back, but the hatred had gone deep into his bones.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanbo raised his leg again and kicked a stone on the ground, the stone hit the young slave's knee, and his calf reflex kicked the Rouran soldier who was chasing him.

Rou Ranbing felt the sharp pain coming from his calf bone, and he was furious: "You dare to fight back? Give me death! He immediately drew his sword and slashed at the young slave.

The young slave looked frightened and instinctively ducked.

The Rouran soldiers continued to slash, and the young slave finally failed to dodge after dodging several times, and was slashed to the ground.

The surrounding slaves couldn't hold back any longer when they saw this scene, and they all shouted and gathered around, and a riot ensued.

The nearby guards of the Rouran soldiers immediately drew their bows and arrows, and the other Rouran soldiers lifted their leather shields and pulled out their scimitars to suppress them.

"Go back, or kill them all!" Go back, go back! A young handsome man yelled at the slaves with a scimitar in his hand.

Looking at the surrounding Rouran soldiers opening their big bows, the cold and shining arrows on the bows, the slaves were scared, the riot gradually subsided, and soon some people turned around and walked back, with the first one there was a second, the slaves turned around and walked back to their original positions, some sat on the grass, some lay down directly in order to save physical strength, some squatted, some stood.

Seeing that the slaves were all retreating, Rouran, who led the team, pointed at the four slaves and shouted: "You four, carry people away and throw them in the corpse pit!" โ€

One of the people who was pointed out was Lu Xuanbo, he looked at the other three slaves, these three were all young and middle-aged, and the four of them slowly walked to the young slave who was hacked to death and squatted down, two raised their hands, two raised their feet, lifted the corpse and walked in the direction of the corpse pit.

The corpse pit was dug out by the slaves when they were digging the mound of earth, and the corpses of the dead slaves were thrown into the corpse pit, and there was a corpse pit before, but the corpse pit was filled, and this newly dug pit was used as a corpse pit.

In the past two days, more than 200 long-term malnourished and weak slaves have been killed in order to dig up earth and build high platforms, and the bodies of these people are all thrown into this pit.

Lu Xuanbo and the others walked slowly carrying the corpse, and they were not in a hurry, and the two Rouran cavalrymen followed behind on horseback with bows and arrows, a distance of more than thirty meters.

A slave in front of him sighed as he walked with the corpse: "Hundreds of people die every day, either they are killed in the siege of the city, or they are tired from work. โ€

There was negativity and despair in his tone.

A slave next to him said: "Not to mention the death of the war and the exhaustion of work, do you know how many people starve to death every day because they don't have enough to eat?" โ€

The slave next to Lu Xuanbo said in a desperate tone: "I don't know when this battle will be over, even if the battle is over, we won't be able to live, the Rouran people don't want men to take prisoners, they only need women, women can have children, men have to waste food, and we will definitely be killed in the end."

Lu Xuanbo carefully observed the three people, listening to their words of despair and hopelessness for the future, he asked in his heart, "Do you still have family outside?" โ€

"I still have a wife and children, I was arrested on the way home, and I don't know what happened to my family!"

Lu Xuanbo shook his head: "Your son must be hopeless, and his wife may be taken away to give birth to a child!" โ€

When Lu Xuanbo said this, the slave's footsteps slowed down significantly, and his body kept trembling, and Lu Xuanbo's words once again aroused his extinguished anger and hatred, and he roared.

Lu Xuanbo asked the other two: "What about you?" โ€

One of them, in an emotionless tone, was, "Dead, all dead!" โ€

Lu Xuanbo glanced at the man, "Killed by the Rouran people?" โ€

"Hmm!"

The remaining slave, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "We can't just wait to die!" โ€

Lu Xuanbo immediately asked in a low voice, "What do you want?" This camp is tall and strong, and it is heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to escape! โ€

"If you can't escape, you have to escape, we have nearly 20,000 people, as long as everyone is of one mind, it is impossible for them to stop all of us with their guards of less than 2,000 people here, if you can escape, one will be counted as one, and those who can't escape or die on the road can only tell their fortunes!"

Lu Xuanbo turned his head to look at the two Rouran cavalrymen behind him, and whispered to the three slaves: "I think it's better to fight with the Rouran people than to find a way to escape!" As you said, we have nearly 20,000 people, and there are less than 2,000 guards here, as long as we are united enough, these 2,000 people will not be able to stop us at all, as long as someone takes the lead, the others have long been fed up with the oppression of the Rouran people, and they will definitely follow when the time comes! โ€

"What do you think?"

Lu Xuanbo whispered: "There are people following behind, this is not the place to talk, wait until you return to the camp and think about it in the long run!" โ€

Jinling Battalion.

A Rouran handsome man walked into the big tent and reported to Princess Tuzhen, who was reading: "Princess, the people who went to raid Shanwu County have returned, and they are only ten miles away from here!" This time, before the defenders of Shanwu County could react, they broke into the city in one fell swoop, scattered the defenders, and captured countless baggage, which were loaded with 600 carts, and our strength was limited, so we captured a lot of young men and strong, and let them use them as coachmen and coolies, and finally transported this batch of baggage back! But ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Princess Tuzhen was overjoyed at first, and then when she heard the turn, she immediately asked, "But what?" โ€

"Because we had too much baggage and the speed of our march was too slow, we were chased by the pursuers sent by the Wei State, and the two armies were less than two hours apart. According to the investigation of the ranger sentry after the break, the pursuing Wei army had more than 10,000 cavalry, and the leading general seemed to be Yanpu, the cavalry general of the Wei cavalry! โ€

Princess Tuzhen got up and frowned, and asked, "Are there really more than 10,000 cavalry?" โ€

"Nothing more, no less!"

Princess Tuzhen thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to prepare for evacuation, and once the men and horses of Shanwu County return from the raid, immediately withdraw to Tunqi Mountain!" โ€

"Yes!"

An hour later, the Rouran cavalry that raided Shanwu County drove a large number of slaves and escorted them back to the Jinling camp, and Princess Tuzhen ordered them to retreat to Tunqishan Fort together with the Rouran cavalry of the Jinling camp without waiting for them to rest, leaving a bunch of rangers to explore the post.

The Wei army on Jinling Mountain was relieved to see that the Rouran people were finally gone, although they were very aggrieved, but they were able to hold Jinling and not let the Rouran people destroy the tombs of several emperors, which was already a great luck in misfortune.

After the Rouran army withdrew, after half an hour, a sentry was sent to report that the Rouran people had withdrawn ten miles away, and the prison army Gu Bi came down from the mountain with his men and horses.

Looking at the empty and messy Jinling camp, Gu Bi, the supervising army, wanted to cry without tears, Yongchang Wang Tuoba Jian also kept a straight face and did not speak, and the generals and officials sat in the tent and sighed.

The fifth princess Tuoba Yuling went to arrange patrols and sentry posts, and took over the defense of the Jinling camp.

It didn't take long for the sentry posts arranged on the periphery to report: "Qiyu Wangye, the supervising army, the Xiao cavalry general Yanpu is here with the Xiao cavalry army!" โ€

Tuoba Jian and Gu Bi were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately took the generals to wait outside the camp gate, in fact, with the identity of the two of them, it was not necessary, but now the two of them are the generals of the defeated army, and they really feel ashamed, where can they take care of their identity.

The sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and many black dots appeared at the end of the horizon, and the black dots quickly turned into cavalry, and as this cavalry team moved rapidly, the countless flags of the team flew and fluttered.

When the army arrived at the gate of the camp, Yanpu jumped off his horse and hugged his fists to Tuoba Jian and Gu Bi to salute: "The last general will meet the prince and the servant!" โ€

"The general is exempt from courtesy, the army is tired, let's go to the camp to rest!" Tuoba Jian raised his hand.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, dare to ask how long it has been since the Rouran people left?"

Gu Bi said: "An hour and a half! โ€

Yan Pu immediately said: "The Rouran people carry a large amount of baggage, and the speed of the march must be as fast as a turtle, and the final general is confident that he will be able to catch up with them in an hour at most!" Thank you for the good intentions of the prince and the servants, the cavalry will not enter the camp to rest, please wait for the good news of the last general! โ€

Gu Bi wanted Yanpu to be cautious, but the Xiao cavalry army was not in the Jinling camp, if he persuaded Yanpu to stay, he would be suspected of preventing the other party from making meritorious contributions, then it would be really a villain, he opened his mouth, and the words of persuasion were not said in the end.

Yanpu took more than 10,000 cavalry of the Xiao cavalry to chase the retreating Rouran army, leaving only Gu Bi and Tuoba Jian looking at each other outside the camp gate.

Twenty miles northwest of the Jinling camp, the Rouran army was moving slowly, and there were too many baggage, and they couldn't get up fast if they wanted to.

A ranger desperately hit his horse to catch up and panted and reported to Princess Tuzhen: "Princess Qiyu, the Wei Guoxiao cavalry has caught up, less than ten miles away from our army's rear team, and it will be able to attack our army's rear team in half an hour at the latest!" The ranger after the break suffered heavy losses, and only the villain remained! โ€

Princess Tuzhen looked at the southeast direction and sneered, took out a small paper roll from under her belt and handed it to Rouran Xiaoshuai beside her, and nodded to him.

Rou Ran Xiaoshuai took the paper roll and put it into the small tube on the feet of the eagle standing on his arm, he took a piece of meat for the eagle to eat, touched the bird feathers on its back, and whispered: "Go!" โ€

With its arms raised, the eagle spread its wings and flew high, quickly disappearing into the sky.

Princess Tuzhen beckoned to a Rouran general, and the Rouran general stepped forward and stroked his chest and said, "What does the princess command?" โ€

"You take two thousand men and horses to guard the slaves and escort them to Tunqi Mountain, and the other horses are left for this princess, and this princess is going to meet what kind of person the general of Wei is here!"

"Command!"
