Chapter 173: Killing

The sky and the earth are gray and gloomy, reflecting a surprising gray light, which makes people's hearts depressed.

On the road covered by the thick frozen soil, the footprints are shallow and deep, turning up the mud, and the team of refugees who have fled the famine for miles stretches on both sides of the official road, and goes south along the official road, although this area also belongs to Youzhou, but the control force of the imperial court is still relatively weak, for no other reason, just because this area has no strategic value, just a few small broken county seats, and there is not even a county order in the county, which can be regarded as an anarchic three-regardless zone.

Most of the victims chose this road because it was so dilapidated that even the bandits didn't think about the idea of fighting here, and although the journey south was much longer than other shortcuts, the victims still made their choice without hesitation. But the victims didn't know that ten miles away from them, there was a murderous cavalry closely following them......

The victims had no idea of the cavalry that followed them, let alone the slightest of them, that in the mountains on both sides of the official road, the withered and dead leaves occasionally slipped to the ground, and a pair of feet creaked down, and the figure brushed away the messy branches, and more leaves fell on the head and shoulders of the man with the felt hat. Behind him, more figures were cautiously coming out of the forest, staring at the victims on the official road, slowly raising their weapons, and then, someone set up a bow and arrow............

On the official road, the victims of the disaster were still moving forward, people were rolling in the field with difficulty, and the men, women, old and weak who dragged their families were divided into several small teams of hundreds of people and hundreds of people staggered forward behind the only few cars, and on one of the ox carts, several squires who should have been from a good family were roasting around the small stove on the ox cart, and white gas came out of their mouths.

A middle-aged rich squire said, "So be it! We're going to leave this time, and I'm afraid we'll never come back again in this life! Let's take a good look at the land under our feet! ”

Another young man who seemed to be a nephew said, "Is this Youzhou still not the Youzhou of the imperial court?" Why is it that now more and more Hu people have moved over, occupying our land and robbing us of our things, but the government is ignoring it and doing nothing, what is wrong with this court? Could it be that in the eyes of the official master, we Shunmin are not as important as a few Hu people? ”

"Hey...... That's probably it, the court doesn't care about us, we can't ignore ourselves, we must do something to the south this time...... Although Jiangnan is a good place, the road is too long, and we still have to be mentally prepared for the long way on this journey."

"I just don't know if the taxes in Jiangnan are heavy? Is it good to buy and sell? The property on these two ox carts is the foundation of our life, I just hope that this road will not cause any trouble, God bless our family to arrive in Jiangnan safely! ”

"Alas...... It's a pity that our land, if we can bring the land to Jiangnan together, it would be good, even if we are a good life anywhere, then live a luxurious life in Jiangnan, watching the Jiangnan women curling and listening to Wu Nong's soft Jiangnan women singing small songs, then life is really dazzling and unstoppable. ”

"Hey! I'm afraid you won't be able to resist such a beautiful thing, hahaha--"

"What the old nonsense is that I ......" a few people were talking, only to hear a sound in the air: "Whoosh", an arrow flew over, the neck of a victim next to the ox cart suddenly burst into blood, the arrow passed through his neck and nailed him directly to the ground, the body of the victim fell under the wheel of the ox cart, the ox cart staggered up and down, accompanied by the screams of several people, the ox cart bumped a few times and then stuck in place.

Some of the victims have not yet reacted, their eyes are dull and continue to move forward, some have noticed the noisy noise, raised their heads to see what happened, for a while, there was some crowding, just when the victims were confused, the roar of horses' hooves in the distance came, and the victims of the organic spirit looked over, only to see that at the end of the sight, a black shadow was overwhelming. On both sides of the official road, there were also overlapping figures rushing towards them, only to see these people holding snowy knives in their hands, and the knives flickered into bursts of light and shadow in the eyes of the victims.

I don't know which victim shouted: "Run!" The victims suddenly began to run wildly like ants that had blown up their nests, and the cries of women and children, the cries of the old and weak, and the shouts and scolding of young people converged into a noisy noise.

In the blink of an eye, several fast Xianbei cavalry had formed a small array to approach the victims at the rear, and the Xianbei cavalry showed a cruel smile on their faces, pulled out their sabers across the space, and swung them down according to the victims' heads. The victim's head flew into the sky at once, and the body that lost his head still ran a few steps forward before stumbling to the ground, and the fear on the victim's head fell heavily to the ground before it could dissipate.

On the official road, the blood rushed out and sprinkled on the ground, and soon seeped into the soil, many victims were cut off their heads before they had time to shout, and the Xianbei cavalry who succeeded did not pay attention to it at all, and continued to rush forward, followed by hundreds of cavalry rushing in along the gap, slashing and killing indiscriminately.

At the same time, a tall and burly figure rode a cyan horse and brandished a steel spear rushed over, and the horse jumped to the front of the ox cart, only to see this man raise the steel spear and smash into the ox cart, with a click, the old cow pulling the cart was directly smashed to the ground without even screaming.

The next moment, the big man turned his head and looked at the ox cart, and the people in the canopy of the ox cart lowered the roller shutter in panic and shrank back. The big man smiled hideously, raised the steel spear and stabbed to death a victim who ran into him in a panic, raised his arm, rounded the steel spear and hit the wheel on the right side of the ox cart, the axle of the wheel snapped and broke, half of the wheels were broken, the carriage tilted violently, and the people in the ox cart screamed a few times and crawled out of it in embarrassment.

One of them held his hat in his hand, pointed at the big man and scolded: "Do you barbarians who killed by heaven know what kind of crime you have committed...... "Bang! Before the man could finish speaking, blood shot out. The big man grinned and stood the steel spear in front of him, only to see the viscous warm blood at the top of the steel spear dripping down the tip of the spear, and the man who was still talking just now was lying on the car, half of his head was sunken, the broken head and bone residue were covered with bones, the eye socket on the right side exploded, and the eyeball was gone.

The remaining three women who came out of the carriage looked at the man's corpse so bloody and terrifying that they were frightened for a moment. Dahan looked at the three women, smiled, and said, "Kill all the men, take the women and children away!" Hey! ”

Under the attack from three sides, thousands of victims were all wrapped in dumplings, and there was a sound of fighting around them, this was a massacre, just a quarter of an hour's effort, the sound of the fight had gradually disappeared, thousands of people in the disaster team, only hundreds of women, children and children were spared from being killed by the Xianbei cavalry to the middle of the encirclement formed, and encircled.

Under the gray skylight, the wind rose, and the wind blew the corner of Duan Wenzhen's battle jacket, and he didn't react much when he rode on the horse, "This time I went south to fight the grass valley and harvested generally, it seems that this Youzhou is already withered tight, and there is not much oil and water!" After speaking, Duan Wenzhen took a deep breath, and was about to turn his head to the general behind him to order, when a horse came and saluted Duan Wenzhen: "Lord Qiqi, I found the frame of the fourth princess Yuwen in the team of disaster victims. When Duan Wenzhen heard this, he looked incredulous, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to lead the way to have a look.

The cold wind was blowing, the hooves of horses creaking along the long official road, the corpses and scarlet blood stains were masked, and the mutilated and intact carriage had been dragged away, not a single piece of wood chips had been left. The smell of blood filled the air, and then a gust of wind came and dispersed, leaving nothing behind, as if it had never happened.
