Chapter 57: Sneak Attack
On the seventh day of the second lunar month, the horse's hooves traveled along the foothills, Gongsun Zhi and others went all the way to the west, and the scouts of the Xiliang army between the nearby mountains and fields became more and more, which means that Dong Zhuo had returned to Luoyang first and began to set off towards Chang'an with the emperor.
The crying and wailing continued to sound.
The ruined woman hugged her tattered dress like ashes, and occasionally a woman screamed out of the line and crashed headlong into a nearby tree or rock, falling bloodied. The children who were struggling to walk looked at the corpse numbly, and then they were pushed and shoved, burying their heads and continuing to walk, and the old people who were uncared for on the side of the road could no longer walk, so there were guarded horses and foot soldiers who came up and scolded, or poked a knife, and most of the young men and women carried their burdens on their backs and hung their heads, and a small part were driven to push heavy ox carts over the steep slopes and potholes that were difficult to walk, and the black pressure on the endless procession spread westward, making a low cry and buzzing.
Behind them, the once glorious city was still filled with blue smoke, and the blackened half of the gate was still burning, and a corpse pounced on it, the whole thing was curled and blackened, and the sight stretched in, and the wide streets, the houses on both sides burned and collapsed into ruins, charred, slain, or naked. Lu's Ling. The corpses of humiliated deaths came into view in a shocking way, and the drive and massacre of most of the night destroyed this ancient city.
It's hard to have a voice.
Under the outline of the city wall, through the illusory map, the group of Gongsun Zhi, who avoided the scouts of the Western Liang Army, spoke indignantly at the beginning, and then fell silent at the end, everyone had blood and human lives glued to their hands, and even slaughtered the tribes of the Huns, but none of them felt suffocating with the scene in front of them.
"Luoyang... is gone..."For the girl who has lived here for many years, Cai Yan choked up and said this sentence repeatedly.
"Gao Sheng, let Madame take you to Nangong to find a well and salvage the things in the well."
After passing the city gate, walking down the street for a while, Gongsun stopped looking at a half-cut body in the corner, naked. The corpse that was exposed, and he spoke in a low voice, maybe he took some things first, and the Sun family in the future may not be able to borrow soldiers to defeat Jiangdong so quickly, and the civil strife in the late Eastern Han Dynasty may be many years less.
"Yes, but Nangong should have more than one well, chief, we have few people, but we may not all be able to find it, don't punish me when the time comes......"
Gongsun Zhi nodded: "Do your best, if there is an army coming from the south, you will evacuate immediately and come to the west to find me." โ
Among the more than 700 people, except for Gao Sheng, who took dozens of people, the rest were also divided into two groups of teams moving westward to the north and south. The sun was walking among the clouds, among the mountains and forests, vaguely looking at the team of Changlong, Gongsun Zhi lowered his voice: "According to the previous plan......"
Subsequently, the team parted ways.
Da Da Da ......
A Xiliang cavalry passed through the bustling crowd, bringing flesh and blood when the whip was raised, and in front of dozens of carriages, a large and fat general was commanding his men.
"My brother misses the old love too much, what else will Cai Yong do besides the rhetoric of the article? Why should he be allowed to sit in the car? You waited for him to come over and invite him out to transfer with Wen Hou's family. โ
This general is Dong Zhuo's younger brother, named Dong Min, the official worships General Zuo, Feng Ju (hu four sounds) Marquis, understands that it is not easy for his brother, and tries his best to win over talents from all walks of life for the use of the Dong family in the past.
Several knights turned to the back convoy, forced a bullock cart to stop, and invited the old man inside, Cai Yong didn't say anything, just nodded: "Wen Hou is fighting, and the wife and daughter of the family should take the car...... Deserved...... Deserved... It's just that the old man's collection of books must not be abandoned. โ
He went with the knight to another vehicle.
A pair of eyes were in another ox cart, looking quietly for a while, retracting his gaze and lowering the curtain, his body turned around and sat softly, "Hongchang, you passed by Zhang Rang and others in the palace to make trouble, can you see the faces of these people clearly?" โ
On the side, a veiled woman sat still, her bright eyes crossed the bullock cart parked on the side of the road through the curtain, and the old man was invited down, her red lips slightly opened.
"It's all about their own selfish desires."
Wang Yun looked at her, slapped his hand on his leg fiercely, and sighed: "...... This is the case in the human world, not to mention the thieves who control the dynasty, all the way west, how many million people can be left... For his own selfishness, hundreds of people have lost their lives, only by getting rid of Dong Thief and returning to His Majesty, maybe the people of Dawn will be better. โ
โ...... Hongchang understands. Over there, a soft voice in the veil answered faintly.
The old man closed his eyes and nodded, "...... After that, you will suffer. โ
The mighty team of ministers and family members is several miles in the mountains and forests on the left, and in the shade of the trees, horses' hooves are splashing.
Whoosh โ
Arrows flew through the gaps in the trees, the figure on the horse fell to death with a pop, and several scouts crossed the reins, and the moment they pulled their bows and looked around, more arrows flew in......
After a while, the forest calmed down, and someone came out of the hiding place, and after killing the ownerless war horse, he dragged away the corpse of the scout on the ground, stripped off the armor, dug the corpse and buried it.
It was the result of a sneak attack, and soon after, when everyone put on their armor, they swooped down and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
......
The scouts that disappeared in the mountains and forests were not difficult to find in the past, but tens of thousands of people with millions of people could not be all-encompassing, and it would only be a little later, and some people probably did not wait for the information reported by the scouts and sent people to search, but that was not much.
A group of cavalry in front came retrograde from the front team, and the news had already been reported to Dong Min, he urged the horse to look over, and on the edge of the extended army and family team, a figure holding a Fang Tian painting halberd and wearing a red brocade robe galloped towards riding a red war horse.
"Wen Hou, why did you come to the back?" For such a fierce general in the world and the righteous son next to his brother, Dong Min will naturally encircle his brother well, and he will step forward and give it up.
On the galloping war horse, Lu Bule took the reins, the horse's head stood opposite each other, and he also arched his hand: "I haven't seen my wife and daughter for more than a month, and I am worried about it, General Zuo has led the army, and I will go to see my family first." โ
As he was talking, a cavalry of more than 300 people came out of the forest in the far rear, trampling and stomping..... Approaching the convoy, no one cared about this small number of soldiers and horses at first, but the hundreds of Xiliang soldiers who guarded a few ox carts in the middle probably made a gesture to let the other party leave and go elsewhere, the other party's speed still did not slow, and someone suddenly shouted: "Stop-"
The next moment he answered, on the back of the galloping horse, hundreds of short bows were taut.
A stone's throw.
The arrow broke away from the bowstring and swishedโflying into the flesh of the man, blood splattering.
