Chapter 599: Horse Bandits Slaughter Town
Like the Pantheon army, Xiao Chen and the three of them successfully passed through the unguarded border town, and went all the way to the east very smoothly.
Occasionally, they encounter a checkpoint to check the identity of passers-by, and the three of them can easily pass, and they are all holding the identity nameplate issued by the city lord of Jincheng himself, which is a legendary international friend, and is treated at a higher level than the Chinese.
As for the wanted notices posted everywhere, don't worry, Xiao Chen at this time is proficient in disguise techniques, even if he appears in the Emperor Extreme Sect, he may not be recognized immediately, let alone these sentry guards.
The three of them traveled very fast, although it was not non-stop, but they could run at least four or five hundred miles each day.
The news that the four northern states were attacked by the Pantheistic Sect had reached the hinterland of Great Chu, but there was not the slightest panic on the faces of the people.
This is not surprising, in the past 10,000 years, the Central Plains has experienced dozens of dynastic changes, and the number of wars has been countless, and it has long been numb, for the common people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as everyone can eat their stomachs, the bastard will be the emperor - it's okay,
As for the slogan of protecting the family and defending the country, which has been shouted by the rulers for tens of thousands of years, all the people care about is the first two words.
In addition, the flames of war were ignited in the north, thousands of miles away from the hinterland of Dachu, so it could not have any impact here.
The destination of the three of them was the emperor-capital, in order not to arouse the ideas of others, their route was to pass through Sizhou, and when they arrived at the junction of Yanzhou, they were rerouted to the north until the emperor-capital.
After entering Sizhou from Liangzhou, the number of cities and towns gradually became more prosperous and prosperous.
It is said that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses originally stationed in Sizhou were transferred by the imperial court to the north to defend against the enemy, and without the deterrence of the army, the horse bandits and robbers here became more and more rampant.
According to the previous plan, they had to arrive at the next town before dark, rest for one night and continue their departure tomorrow morning.
As the sun sets, the three of them hurry up,
But when they came to the outside of the town, they saw a miserable scene, full of fire and smoke, and screams were incessant.
There was a river of blood on the ground, and there were many corpses lying all over the place, and a group of men in gray suits brandished weapons and chopped the men to the ground, and the old people and children were not spared, only the young women would not be killed, but they were gathered together, believing that the fate that followed would be even more tragic.
"How can this be," Chu Yue's eyes were red,
"It's a horse bandit," Lin Die often walks with the merchant group, and has seen more such things, and said: "It must be a relatively large group of horse bandits, otherwise they wouldn't dare to attack a town easily, Brother Chen, should we ...... it?"
"Of course, these beasts deserve to die," as the little marquis spoke, he had already slammed the horse's belly and rushed towards the horse bandits who were slashing and killing innocent people.
Lin Die and Chu Yue followed, and the three of them showed their weapons at the same time.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, several bandits raised their heads, and the strong man led by wiped the blood on his face, and shouted: "Qingfeng Village is doing things, irrelevant people hurry up, don't be boring,"
The reason why horse bandits dare to attack a town is that they first need to have enough troops, and they will adopt the strategy of encircling first and then fighting, so as to avoid any fish that slip through the net and ask the nearest government for help.
The massacre had been going on for more than half an hour, and the people who came by at this time must have nothing to do with the town, and besides, there were only three people, and it was obvious that they were just passing by.
Horse bandits are also reluctant to make extraneous branches, for this kind of sudden appearance, they will salute first and then soldier,
Xiao Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, his crotch - the war horse rushed quickly - stabbed, he raised his arm and swung his spear, straight to the man's throat,
Burst......
The other party had no chance to dodge at all, was pierced in the neck by a shot, and fell to the ground with a glare.
"Boy, you have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, and you dare to kill the people of our Qingfeng Village, you are tired of it, right," the other leader-like person shouted: "Brothers, deal with him first, and chop him into meat for me,"
Although these horse bandits are all soul warriors, their soul power level is not high, most of them are in the Condensation Martial Realm and the Chemical Martial Realm, and only a few leaders can reach the Qi Martial Realm, which is simply a rabble.
But against the defenseless people, the rabble still occupies an absolute advantage,
"Little Niangpi, the long real water spirit, you can come down for me......" A guy who sprayed feces in his mouth was about to say obscene words, but he couldn't say the words when the words came to his mouth, because he found that there were three more transparent holes on his body, which were the little lady's skin in his mouth.
Dealing with this rabble, the three of them are like entering a no-man's land,
It wasn't until dozens of horse bandits fell to the ground that the rest realized that danger was coming, and the most powerful leaders couldn't hold on to two moves in front of others.
For a time, the slaughtering party became the target of the slaughter, and seeing that the situation was not good, the horse bandits began to scatter and flee.
If you want to run, it's not that easy, Xiao Chen is responsible for continuing to chase and kill, Lin Die and Medina took out strong crossbows and shot the escapees one by one.
The townspeople who were lucky enough to save their lives cheered loudly, but in the face of the corpses of their relatives, they hugged each other and wept bitterly.
Xiao Chen caught up with the last horse bandit and shot him off the horse.
The man rolled around on the ground a few times, and found that he was not dead, but before he could rejoice, the sharp head of the spear was pressed against his throat,
It's not that the little marquis missed, but the live mouth left on purpose,
"Say, where are you horse bandits, where is the nest, what is the name of the bandit leader, what rank," he said in a cold tone, "You better not lie, my spear is not a vegetarian,"
The horse bandit was frightened, and quickly replied: "We are from Qingfeng Village, the old nest is one hundred and thirty miles away in Qingfeng Mountain, the boss is called Xu Dajun, and he is a master of the Xuanwu Realm......
A few minutes later, the little marquis came to the two girls with a spear that was still dripping blood.
The eyes of the two women were full of anger, they did not know how to persuade these survivors, there were more than 3,000 people in the town, the men were almost slaughtered, the old people and children were left, and the rest were either widows or homeless daughters,
Not only did the bandits kill people, but they set fires to the worst of all, and there were few intact houses left in the town.
He said in a deep voice: "I found out clearly, this group of people came from Qingfeng Mountain one hundred and thirty miles away, and the leader of the bandits was named Xu Dajun, who was said to be a master of the Xuanwu Realm, and once served as the head of a wealthy family, but was expelled from the door for violating family rules, and later gathered a group of people to occupy the mountain as the king,"
Chu Yue frowned: "How is it possible for a master of the Xuanwu Realm to be a horse bandit,"
The little marquis shrugged his shoulders and said, "When he was a horse bandit, he was only at the level of the Xianwu Realm, but in just a few years, he has risen to the Xuanwu Realm, and his power is getting bigger and bigger."
Lin Die asked, "Why do they want to attack this town, and they want to kill it all,"
"Before, they sent people to collect protection money, and the residents of the town sued the officials, and the government released big words, saying that they must protect their safety, with the support of the government, the attitude of the townspeople was very tough, but when the horse bandits appeared, the officials were cowardly," the little marquis gritted his teeth and said: "But if the government sends a bunch of people and horses over, even if it is just a bluff, do the horse bandits dare to be so arrogant?"
Chu Yue asked in a deep voice, "Senior brother, what are your plans?"
The corners of the little marquis's mouth turned up, and he said: "Qingfeng Village will be handed over to me to deal with, you go and clean up the dog official who talks about people but doesn't do personnel, he must pay the price,"
