Chapter 311: Border People's Death
"Scouts of the Huns!" Yan Ming stood up as soon as he turned over.
Wei Qing also immediately got up, walked directly to the approaching sentry, and asked, "Where is the person?" ”
"Bring it here!" The sentry waved his hand, and the two Hu cavalry captains dragged a limping Hu man over.
"Get on your knees!" The sentry shouted.
The Hu scout obviously understood Chinese, but he rolled his eyes. There was no intention of kneeling down for Yan Ming and Wei Qing at all.
A few lieutenants who were escorting the Hu people scouts were going to use force to make the Hu people kneel.
Yan Ming immediately waved his hand to stop this behavior. For some reason, he had some bad premonitions. So Yan Ming suppressed his temperament and said, "We are going to send a big gift to King Zuo Xian of the Huns." How did you hurt the envoy of the Huns, hurry up and bandage the wound. ”
As he spoke, his eyes gestured slightly. Wei Qing immediately understood that Yan Ming was something, and waved his hand to call out to the army Langzhong.
"Hmph, you kid, you have some eyebrows." The Chinese language of the Xiongnu scouts is very jerky, but they are also clear.
"Yes, yes, we have already told King Zuo Xian that we want to send him a big gift. Are you here to pick us up? Yan Ming asked.
The Huns' scouts were nothing more than a small group of Huns who harassed them. The total number is less than five hundred. They also didn't know what kind of deal there was between the Great Han and the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King. However, the greedy nature of the Huns was exposed.
He rolled his eyes and wanted to lead Yan Ming and them to his own people, so as to rob the messenger of the Great Han.
In the dark night, it is impossible to see how many troops the Han Dynasty has. However, it seems that the official titles of the two teenagers are not large, and there will not be too many people.
Driven by the desire for profit, the Huns said: "Our team is hunting in the direction of Shuofang at the moment, and it is King Zuo Xian who has come to meet you!" ”
Yan Ming's heart froze, and the slightest bad feeling was instantly confirmed. This group of Huns attacked Shuofang.
"Kill him, let's go to Shuofang immediately." Yan Ming said unceremoniously, not even looking at the Huns.
"Order, send the troops." Someone yelled.
Before the Hun scout could figure out the situation, his head was cut off by a swallow knife.
"Speed, go to Shuo Fang." Yan Ming said a little anxiously.
After all the Hu cavalry captains were assembled, they immediately set off and rushed in the direction of Shuofang, galloping all night.
Even Princess Yanran followed Yan Ming without being sleepy.
After nearly two hours of running, I finally saw a burning city in the dark night.
That's right, burning, city.
That city is the city of Shuofang.
It's just that Shuofang City at this moment, except for the raging flames beating, there is no longer a trace of life.
The collapsed walls could not be burned, and the only few dilapidated houses were also set on fire by the Huns. Corpses, lying in the streets, above the ruins.
Some were headless, some had broken arms, some had no clothes - it was a woman.
Yan Ming and the others rode in.
On the streets, they saw children and elderly people who brought food to them during the day. There was also the young man who recognized Yan Ming, whose neck was cut off by a knife and his head was tilted to the side.
At this moment, Yan Ming has a kind of mourning!
He wanted to roar, he wanted to explode.
These people, who were alive in the afternoon, died in the evening and had no place to bury.
He had asked the old man before how he had survived the Hun invasions again and again.
The old man said that they had always been very careful, and that there were people scouting the situation outside every day. Once the Huns were discovered, all of them were to hide.
But why are they not hiding today? It must be because there are no sentinels!
And why didn't there be sentinels? I must have seen the officers and soldiers just passed!
Yes, the officers and troops have all driven out, how can any Huns dare to attack at night?
There is nothing wrong with these border people, they just want to sleep peacefully.
But even this small wish has become an extravagant hope.
Officers and soldiers failed to protect their lives. They trusted the officers and soldiers, but because of this trust, they died tragically!
"Master Hou who dares to fight against the Huns!" Yan Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, but tears rolled down his eyes.
Between the ruins and broken walls, the corpses that lay down and could never get up again were all he had seen during the day. Several of the children looked at him like a hero.
Yan Ming's fingernails had pierced into his palm, but he didn't feel it.
"Master Hou, there are very few women who die on this earth!" Yan Ran reminded.
Yan Ming took a closer look and immediately got on the horse: "Chengxin, you take five hundred people to leave and bury the corpses of the border people." For the rest, let's go to the Huns to settle accounts. ”
"Yes, the Huns kidnapped the woman, and they will definitely not go far." Wei Qing also jumped on the horse's back and lifted the spear on horseback.
Yan Ming shook the military crossbow in his hand.
Yanran also jumped on horseback: "I'll go too, that's the woman of the Han Dynasty, as the princess of the Han Dynasty, I will definitely save the Han woman with my own hands." ”
Yan Ming didn't say much, and let the people who were good at tracking the traces be in front, looking for the whereabouts of the Huns in the dark night.
Fifteen hundred men chased them out.
The Huns, less than five hundred. But he took more than 50 women from Shuofang. Although these women are old and young. But they still laughed triumphantly.
"Han girls, good!"
"Well, the skin is white, **soft."
"Haha-"
Bursts of lewd laughter came from among the ranks of the Huns.
These women, they did not intend to bring back to the Xiongnu as slaves. Their idea is simple. After being brought to the Xiongnu territory, the fifty people were all beheaded after the wheel.
These ragged Han women were not worthy of being their slaves at all. To be able to use them as a tool to extinguish the fire is already to lift them.
"The sentinels in the rear didn't follow, is there any accident?" This is a brigade of the Huns, said a shrewd Hun beside the captain.
The captain of the Huns said indifferently: "In front is my Hun grassland, once you reach the grassland, it will be the world of eagles." Why be so careful. I think you're scared by Duggall's death. Remember, we're not an army of kings like Dugle. We belong to King Zuoxian. ”
After being reprimanded, Da Gu Duo nodded again and again. King Zuoxian's army has never suffered a loss in the Han Dynasty. In other words, except for Dugel's idiot, which of the Huns' little king of Mo Nan was not robbed in the Han Dynasty.
He is from the Dougal tribe, and after Dugal's death, he came to King Zuoxian's side and became a staff member around the captain.
"I said Daguduan, is it frightened by the Han people? After a while, let you pick a girl, have a good time, and suppress the shock. The Hun captain laughed.
Da Gu Duo looked embarrassed, but his eyes swept to a girl in the team. He had already set his sights on the girl.
