Chapter 83: The Brutal Qin Army
The fields were littered with corpses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Wuji probably counted it, there were at least four or five hundred people, both old people and children.
"Is this the slaughter of that village?" Wei Wuji said secretly.
The dead bodies all over the ground, because they have been dead for a long time, have attracted many flies after decaying, and they keep making a "buzzing" sound.
At this time, Wang Xiu, who was following behind, rushed over, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
Although Zhou De is now mourned, the etiquette system he left behind has been retained by other countries.
This kind of pit killing incident that exterminates humanity is absolutely unacceptable to the people of the world, and will be spurned by the whole world.
"Childe, who could have done this?" Wang Xiu spoke, and Zheng Dali on the side also showed excitement.
The answer is self-evident, depending on the degree of decay of the body, it can be inferred that he has been dead for a few days.
A few days ago, Wei Wuji really couldn't think of anyone else except for the Qin army who fled in panic.
"These damn Qin people!" Wei Wuji scolded.
This happened in the place occupied by the Wei State, and the Wei State would definitely have to bear the blame for this pot.
If Wei Guo came to carry it, Wei Wuji wouldn't be able to run, who would let him garrison Tielinyi!
"The Qin people are so cruel, they will be punished by heaven." Wang Xiu also said resentfully. Even if he killed a lot of people himself, it was on the battlefield, and either you died or I died.
"Ben Gongzi will make them pay." Wei Wuji said with a gloomy face.
Turning around, Wei Wuji said to the soldiers, "In such weather, if the corpses are allowed to decompose, it may cause an epidemic, so you should quickly find some firewood and burn them all." ”
"Yes." The Wei soldiers replied in unison, and then scattered in all directions.
Looking at the body in front of him, Wei Wuji silently bowed in his heart, which could be regarded as a silent mourning for them.
I've done a good deed to help them settle down! Wei Wuji said secretly. After all, cremation is also a high-class funeral.
But it wasn't long before a horseman came back from a horseback, driven by a few ragged mountain people.
"Get on your knees!"
When he came to Wei Wuji, some soldiers shouted and scolded those mountain people.
"What's going on?" Wei Wuji asked.
"Tell the childe, these people are hiding sneaky not far away, and we will arrest them." The knight replied.
Wei Wuji turned his gaze to the mountaineers who knelt down and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" What are you doing over there? ”
These mountain people were so frightened by this situation that they still had the courage to reply, and they couldn't say a word.
"If you don't speak, I'll cut you!" Zheng Dali on the side scolded angrily, he was anxious when he saw it.
The frightening worked, and the man kneeling in front of him trembled and stammered, "We are...... Be...... People from Shangxi Village, come here...... Collapse ...... ...... in the village Corpse. ”
"Are you saying that these people who died are all from your village?" Wei Wuji leaned over and asked.
"Yes." The mountain man replied.
"How did they die?" Wei Wuji asked, and said with relief, "You speak carefully, don't be afraid, we are here to help you." ”
This made these people feel a little more settled, but they still couldn't change their stammering.
The general meaning is that six days ago, an army marched into Shangxi Village and demanded that the villagers hand over all their food.
Naturally, the villagers did not allow it, and wounded the soldiers who came to collect it, which stabbed the hornet's nest.
At that time, the general was furious, directly connived at the soldiers' ** captivity, and killed all the villagers, and now he caught these few people in front of Wei Wuji, and they were the few people who escaped the clutches of the devil.
That general is naturally Zhai Quan, and the army that burns, kills and loots is the Qin army. From the whole incident, it can be inferred that the Qin people should be extremely short of grain and grass.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so frustrated, how much can a village grab? You know, it's summer, and the families don't have much food in stock.
This also means that there must be other villages that will be attacked, otherwise it will be difficult for the Qin soldiers to meet their needs, it is more than a thousand big mouths, and they have to maintain their combat effectiveness at all times.
"Do you know where those Qin people went?" Wei Wuji asked the survivors in front of him.
These people shook their heads directly, they dared to follow, even if they were too long.
From the fact that they have only now come to collect the remains, we know their boldness.
Wei Wuji shook his head in disappointment, it was a pity that he couldn't directly ask about the traces of the Qin people.
"And to the north, but there are still villages?" Wei Wuji asked, pointing to the side of the mountain.
"Back to the general's words, inside...... And also...... Several villages. The mountain man stammered.
At this moment, Wei Wuji's heart was rekindled with hope, most of the Qin people were going in the direction of the village, and the direction of search became clear.
Wei Wuji was in a better mood, and finally didn't have to go around blindly.
Seeing that these people who had escaped death were quite pitiful, Wei Wuji instructed Zheng Dali, "Leave them some food, even if it is a reward for them!" ”
It was rare for Wei Wuji to show mercy, and Zheng Dali responded and went.
Wei Wuji said to the few people in front of him again, "We are the Wei army, we are here to protect you, and we are here to help you fight that group of jackal-like Qin troops. ”
"Don't be afraid, we will avenge you." Wei Wuji finally finished speaking.
The mountain people prostrated again and again, and kept muttering some muttering words. It seemed that he was thanking Wei Wuji, but he was incoherent with excitement.
After leaving the wilderness, Wei Wuji led his team back to the main army, and then drove deeper into the mountains with a group of soldiers.
Their goal is to be the next village to be plundered, and in this way, they will gradually get closer to the Qin people.
Sure enough, every seven or eight miles you walked out, you could meet a village.
As Wei Wuji expected, most of these villages were looted by the Qin people, but some villages knew the current affairs and were not slaughtered.
Just like this, step by step, the most remote mountain village under the jurisdiction of Tielinyi appeared in front of Wei Wuji's eyes.
This is already the last stop, and if you don't get any more useful information, the clue will be broken.
Like those encountered earlier, this village was also ten rooms and ten empty, and it was robbed clean by the Qin people.
But they were lucky not to be massacred, but it was not easy to survive the next few months of starvation.
Along the way, Wei Wuji went to every village, proclaiming that he was doing the right thing for heaven to avenge the villagers, and erected a sign of savior.
After time fermented, Wei Wuji could believe that these people would definitely spread his merits and slowly restore his reputation.
From this last village, Wei Wuji gathered people again and inquired about the whereabouts of the Qin people.
"Do you know where the robbers fled?" Wei Wuji asked the man.
The villagers were frightened by the knives and guns in front of them, so what else could they say, but their bodies trembled vigorously.
Wei Wuji didn't want to waste any more time, so he asked directly, "We are here to avenge you, you don't have to be afraid, tell us the traces of those robbers." ”
Originally, Wei Wuji thought that he would have to be appeased, but as soon as he heard about revenge, some villagers had the courage to respond.
"General Hui, the Qin people are in the Cloud Gorge deep in the mountains."
Wei Wuji jumped off his horse and walked into the man, "What you said is true?" ”
The man said in a trembling voice, "The grass people don't dare to say half a lie. ”
"Good!" Wei Wuji flicked his palm and laughed.
It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and now the whereabouts of Qin Jun have finally been found.
"You will take us over early tomorrow morning, if you find the Qin people, my son will not hesitate to reward them." Wei Wuji said to the villager.
The man quickly knocked his head down again, thanking Wei Wuji for his kindness.
As for why we didn't go to suppress the bandits today, we really had a lot of hurried today, and now that the sky is over, it's not enough to start a fight.
Wei Wuji felt that it was better to take down the Qin army in one go after repairing.
