Chapter 1275: What if you kill it
Jiang Hui sat on top of the ruined wall, looking melancholy at the village that was almost in ruins, and the critical situation of that day is still vivid in his mind.
Despite the high wall as cover, the Qi army, which suddenly went berserk, still broke through the high wall and attacked the village regardless of casualties. The moment they went berserk was when Bao An killed the tooth with a crossbow.
Jiang Hui was ecstatic at that time, in his thoughts, the enemy's main general was finished, then the remaining Qi soldiers would inevitably collapse and evacuate immediately. At that time, there were deafening cheers everywhere above the wall.
At first, everything seemed to be expected by Jiang Hui, the Qi army that was attacking the village suddenly stopped and quieted down at that moment, and they all turned their heads to look at the general whose upper body was almost gone, the man was shot by a strong crossbow and flew off his horse, lying like a broken bag in a green crop, and his lower body was still twitching one by one.
After a moment of silence, all the Qi soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, and that cry was full of fear, then anger, and then they turned their heads and looked at the village, and their eyes changed completely.
If they had a playful attitude before, now their eyes are bloodshot and red.
At that moment, Jiang Hui knew that something was wrong.
Then there was a frenzied, completely undisciplined assault, in which the descendants climbed up on the corpses of their predecessors, one after the other, and the feathered arrows in the rear poured desperately into the wall, regardless of whether the arrows they shot would kill their comrades.
They attacked the wall, once there is no cover of the wall, the people in the village are not opponents, even if the vast majority of this village is Qin, they are specially placed in these villages after selection, but in the face of well-trained killing machines, their blood and courage only make their resistance delay longer.
Death came unexpectedly, not one by two, but in batches.
If it weren't for the early arrival of the garrison from Xiangxi, the village would definitely be gone.
Years of struggle have now come to naught. Jiang Hui looked at the ruined village, wanting to cry without tears, several intact houses are now all lying full of wounded. One is seriously injured and dying, and the other is lightly injured, and the report to the county has been sent quickly, and I just hope that the imperial doctor stationed in the county can come over quickly, or save a few people.
What a bad luck!
"Lao Fan, this time, I'm really fucking sorry!" Bao An, who was wrapped like a big dumpling, limped in front of him with a wooden fork, and wanted to sit next to him, but he squatted on his buttocks, but he couldn't sit down, Jiang Hui casually dragged a big box from the side and pushed it under his butt and let him sit down.
"I knew that the identity of that person was so important, why wouldn't I shoot that crossbow, if I didn't shoot him, those Qi people wouldn't have gone crazy." Bao An's face was full of guilt, and after finally asking the identity of the dead general from the mouth of the captive soldier, he regretted his death. He had been in this village for several years, and he was familiar with everyone here, but now, most of them were dead, both men and women.
"Ahem, there's nothing to say, that's fate!" Jiang Hui sighed and said: "We people are originally a rotten life, if we don't come to Xiangxi, we may starve to death and freeze to death. Now at least I have enjoyed a few years of happiness before I die, and I have lived a good life for a few years that I could never have dreamed of! Lao Bao, nothing, who would have thought that such a thing would happen? I know, you don't want to."
Hearing Jiang Hui say this, Bao An was even more sad, lowered his head, and whimpered, "A few days ago, I was still laughing haha, still talking about this year's harvest, still talking about buying some things, talking about going to marry a daughter-in-law, and now it's all gone, all gone."
"If you're dead, you're dead!" Jiang Hui stood up and shook his head vigorously: "Old Bao, you said that we killed a royal family of the Qi Kingdom, what reward will the county guard give us?"
"Huh?" Bao An looked at Jiang Hui with some surprise: "It's all this time, what reward are you still thinking of?"
"Why don't you want to, the dead are already dead, they can't live anymore, the living will continue, those who are dead can earn something for the living, then it is worth dying, the living will remember them, they will burn incense and paper on their death day, and they will also add a pair of chopsticks to their relatives during the New Year." Jiang Hui said loudly.
"I don't know." Bao An lowered his head: "If you kill an ordinary general, you will definitely have a heavy reward, but now killing a royal family of Qi is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to say."
"Why is this happening? Isn't that royal family worthless? Then why are those Qi people like crazy?" Jiang Hui's eyes widened.
"It's not like this, it's because this person is too important, maybe it will cause a big war between the two countries, so I said earlier, maybe we got into trouble, didn't you see that after the garrison of Xiangxi came, they never left, and they have been digging trenches outside and building low walls to arrange defenses for the past two days?" Bao Andao.
Jiang Hui looked at the place outside the village that was already full of faces, some soldiers were wielding iron and doing happily, they were indeed preparing for a big battle, and suddenly wilted.
"Fuck, it's really different from the value of human life, just the death of such a person will trigger a war between the two countries, I think it was originally going to be fought!"
That being said, but that's an introduction. And this trigger was triggered by us, to be exact, by me." Bao Andao.
"Don't say that, if it weren't for you, us homeless people, who know how to fight, we wouldn't have survived peacefully in the past few years, I said first, this is fate. Old Bao, let's go, let's take a look at them, there are a few of them, I'm afraid they won't last a few days!" Jiang Hui stretched out his hand to support Bao An, and the two slowly walked down the slope and down the high wall.
What happened next seemed to confirm Bao An's opinion, more and more troops were transferred from Taoyuan County to the vicinity of Xiangxi, and countless supplies were also transported by caravans, and the atmosphere in Xiangxi gradually became tense, and at this time, even the most dull people could feel that a big war had begun to gradually kick off.
Ten days after the incident, the village finally welcomed two big people. The county guard Ben Kuan of Taoyuan County and the general of Taoyuan County town guard Wang Yun came together.
Jiang Hui and Bao An knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads. The biggest official Jiang Hui has ever seen in his life is just the county order of Xiangxi County, Bao An used to be just an ordinary soldier, and he was able to come to the village as a military attache because he was old enough, and it was good to not be able to take a look at the lieutenant-level officials from a distance, but today, when the Ming Dynasty's feudal officials and the town guard generals stood in front of them, they were still terrified.
What happened during this period of time, without exception, seemed to show that they had indeed caused a catastrophe, and this planned war between Qi Ming was really caused by them.
I don't know what I'm facing, Bao An is a little better, but Jiang Hui is very scared, the officials of the court he saw in Qin Di before, which one is not domineering, and he doesn't treat them as human beings at all? This is still their honest situation, if they make a mistake, then the end is not to mention.
Now it seems like I'm in trouble.
He shivered slightly. It's not that he's afraid of death, it's just that now he has a wife and children, and the happy days have just begun, so he doesn't want to die. In the cruel battle that day, it was because of this that he broke out with a ruthlessness that he had never been before, and the Qi soldiers who died under his hands were as many as a dozen people, and even the knife was indeed broken, and when the war ended, he was carrying more than just an axe picked up from there.
A calloused hand pulled the two up from the ground, and what reached their ears was a hearty laugh, "General Wang, this is Bao An and Jiang Hui, who have made great achievements and killed the royal family of Qi on the spot, come on, come and know these two heroes, the two are Bao An, and that is Jiang Hui?"
Jiang Hui couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe that the calloused hands that were similar to his own were actually a big official. He stared at these hands with some apprehension, as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was really the Shou Benkuan of Taoyuan County, but just now Xiangxi County ordered Huang Shanglian to pay homage to the Hou is indeed called that.
He didn't react, but Bao An on the side had been a soldier for many years after all, and his calm kung fu was much stronger, and when he heard Ben Kuan's question, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lord Hui County Shou, the villain is Bao An, he is Jiang Hui."
Ben Kuan laughed again, patting the shoulders of the two, Jiang Hui could feel the strength of that palm, this Ben Daren's hand is really strong, and at first glance he is a person who often works.
"Great, great, General Wang, shoot down a general with a crossbow, there are not many talents under your command who have this ability, right?"
Wang Yun smiled and said: "It's really good, but it's still a surprise advantage, but it's hard for you to shoot so accurately. This kind of crossbow is rarely used in our army now. I'm afraid your craft will be wasted. But Ben Junshou, if you want to talk about it, I appreciate this Jiang Hui even more!"
He looked at Jiang Hui: "I read that the military newspaper said that you alone beheaded more than a dozen Qi soldiers, and the knife cut off a few handles, not bad, do you want to be a sentry commander under my command?" Well, there aren't many people with you, only 500 people."
Jiang Hui froze when he heard this, and looked up at Wang Yun: "General, I, we are in trouble!"
"What's the trouble?" Ben Kuan on the side asked strangely.
"We killed a royal family of Qi and triggered a great war between the two countries!" Jiang Hui said in a low voice.
Ben Kuan laughed again, "Kill it, kill it, so what? If he wants to fight, then he will fight, is it possible that we are still afraid, if they dare to come, we will kill a few more now, and if we kill more, our Taoyuan County will be peaceful."
