Chapter 417 Unknown Fate
The angry roar of the man, the desperate scream of the woman, the helpless cry of the child, intertwined into a lament of death, which lasted for half an hour.
Half an hour later, when the screams of the last young man were heard, the grass under the Xianbei tribe was already stained red with blood.
In the entire tribe, all the men who were more than the height of the wheels were killed by the Han army.
All that remained were some old and weak women and children, who were now surrounded by the Han army in the midst of the tribe.
Their eyes were full of despair, they didn't understand why a Han army suddenly entered the prairie, didn't their khanate still lead people to the Han realm to plunder?
Could it be that the revenge of the Han people came so quickly, and when they thought that these Han people were here to take revenge on them, as long as they had children, the Xianbei women all became heavy.
Just now they witnessed the tragic death of their own family.
Could it be that next, they have to watch the tragedy of their children being killed by the Han army continue to happen?
They thought of running away, but now they were surrounded by the Han army, which made it impossible for them to escape!
As the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, a Xianbei child could no longer control his fear, and even when he was hiding in his mother's arms, he cried loudly.
This can frighten the surrounding Xianbei people, if the enemy generals on the opposite side are angered by the cry of the child, none of them want to live!
At this time, the child's mother could only cover the child's mouth vigorously, hoping to minimize the child's crying sound, but the more she covered it, the more the child struggled.
She didn't know what to do for a while, but as she covered her for longer and longer, the child's crying slowly began to subside.
But this did not make the mother feel any better, because she knew in her heart that it was not her child who had overcome fear, but that her child was about to lose his hand!
At this moment, a tall Han army general came to her.
This humble woman looked at the Han general who was getting closer and closer to her, and her eyes couldn't help revealing a pleading look.
It's a pity that the general didn't care about her pleas at all, and directly reached out and grabbed the hand she was holding the child's mouth, although she wanted to break free, but she couldn't match the strength of the other party.
Almost instantly, her hand was pulled down by the other party.
Then the other party grabbed it, and the coughing child in her arms made the Xianbei woman directly on the verge of collapse.
She couldn't be afraid anymore, she just turned over and got up and rushed towards the general, grabbing the other party's face while rushing at her hand.
Just as she was about to catch the other party, suddenly the Han general's body spun in place.
This made the Xianbei woman, who was already on the verge of madness, unable to react at all.
She could only watch as she swiped past the other party, then tripped over the grass beneath her feet, and then she fell to the ground.
She knew that her ability alone would not be able to save her child, but the clansmen around her would never rebel against each other because of their own children.
After all, in the Xianbei grassland, the more the defeated side resists, then they will face more brutal slaughter from the victorious side.
No one will compete with the winning side for other people's children, now she is only herself, helpless despair makes her lie on the ground and cry!
Just as she was crying loudly, she suddenly found an extremely familiar pair of bast shoes in the corner of her eye, which were clearly made by herself for the child.
Could it be that the other party has killed his own child, and now these shoes are the relics of his own child, the more he thinks about it, the more this humble woman cries.
But in the next moment, she suddenly stopped crying, for she heard her own child's voice, and it was quite close to her.
She looked up in disbelief and found that her child was beside her, and now the child had not only stopped crying, but was still comforting herself.
Seeing that her child was still alive, the Xianbei woman immediately hugged the child tightly in her arms and kept kissing the little face with tears on it!
However, she still saw the Han general, who had already left their mother and son's side and was walking into the distance.
In her heart, this Xianbei woman silently said thank you to that person, although it was he who led people into her home and killed her husband.
But in the prairie, such things are not uncommon, and as a man of the Xianbei clan, he must be ready to die on the battlefield from the moment he becomes an adult.
Therefore, she was prepared for her husband's death on the battlefield.
But the other party can let go of her child, which is definitely a great gift for her as a mother!
The behavior of the Han general made many Xianbei women feel a little relieved, it seemed that the other party was not ready to kill them, could it be that the other party wanted to turn them all into slaves?
Thinking of the miserable situation of those Han slaves in the clan before, many Xianbei people felt that life was loveless, and becoming slaves was simply worse than death.
Just as they were guessing, the Han general came to the front of their group again, and then they only heard each other shouting.
They didn't understand what the other party was shouting, but when they saw the old patriarch slowly stand up, many people guessed that the other party should be looking for a fellow Chinese speaker just now.
There were quite a few people in their tribe who could speak Chinese before, and many of the young and middle-aged Xianbei warriors who had just been killed knew a little Chinese.
But with all these people killed by the other party, the only one in the clan who can speak Chinese is now the only daughter of the old patriarch except for the old patriarch.
Of course, the old patriarch would not let his beloved daughter come out to deal with the other party, so when the other party was looking for someone who could speak Chinese, the old patriarch could only come forward to deal with it himself.
Zhao Yun looked at the Xianbei old man in front of him, his face was wrinkled, and a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
From the few steps that the other party walked out, he could see that when the other party was young, he must have also been a Xianbei cavalryman.
But as long as the Xianbei cavalry is in his hands, there is no one who has not been stained with the blood of the Han people!
If it weren't for the fact that he still needed the other party to do things for himself, he would definitely not let go of this old thing!
"Who are you? Do you speak Chinese? ”
"Respect to the Han general, Lao Yu is the patriarch of the tribe so far. Now in the whole tribe, only Lao Yu still understands a few words of Chinese, I don't know what the general has to tell Lao Yu to come out? ”
"Commands? Don't dare to do it! Gorman, if it weren't for your knowledge of Chinese, the general's sword would have cut off your head long ago! You should be glad for that! ”
