Chapter 30 The village is shocked
"How is that possible!? It's not June yet! Why did they come here!? ”
There can only be one reason why Lu Ren screamed like this, that is, what Lu Ren saw was a large group of cavalry. To say that Lu Ren has never seen Cao Cao's cavalry, and the distance is still a little far, it is impossible to distinguish it, but this team of cavalry has a very conspicuous mark, so that Lu Ren can be sure that it is Cao Cao's cavalry at a distance, that is, the cavalry of this brigade can all hang plain white filial piety. It has been clearly recorded in the history books that when Cao Cao's troops sent to Xuzhou, they were in the name of "revenge", and the army was all dressed in filial piety.
"No way, no way, no way! It is clearly said in the history books that Cao Cao was a soldier who was raised again after the autumn, is there a mistake in the history books? But this kind of major event will not be recorded indiscriminately in the history books! It's difficult, can the history books still be yin? ”
He was still stunned here, but Cao Cao's cavalry troops would not be stunned, and the direction of Tancheng that continued was rapidly approaching. Perhaps because this small village was not on the main road to Tancheng, Cao Cao's cavalry troops only divided into about a hundred horsemen to attack the small village, and in an instant, they were already approaching the entrance of the village at the other end of the village.
At this time, Lu Ren reacted, and hurriedly yelled in the direction of the village: "Cao Bing has been killed, everyone run for your life!" ”
There is no way, this is the only thing Lu Ren can do now, he doesn't have the courage to rush back to the village to stop the cavalry of more than 100 horsemen, and he also knows that he has no ability to stop it at all, and he can only look for death if he goes. After roaring, Lu Ren hurriedly activated the physical strength enhancer, and with a twist of his head, he ran wildly towards the forest where he had chopped wood before.
Why run into the woods? Lu Ren had made such an assumption before, that is, if he didn't find a way out, and Cao Bing suddenly killed him, he would have to go to the forest to hide first, and then find a way to escape after dark. And when Lu Ren was chopping wood, he deliberately found a few places that were not easy to be detected, and even made a hole in the ground where people could hide. I thought I wouldn't be able to use it, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
At the moment when Lu Ren ran into the woods, he had already heard the screams of the villagers in the village. Lu Ren is just an ordinary otaku sling in modern society, not to mention that he has never seen real murder and bloodshed, even if he fights, he has never fought with anyone. Even after the crossing, he has always lived a relatively peaceful life. Now all of a sudden this is happening next to him, and you can't blame him for running for his life and not going to the village to save people.
This is like a recruit egg who goes to the battlefield for the first time, it is normal to be timid and afraid, not to mention that Lu Ren is not even a recruit egg, just a civilian person? To put it mildly, now that things came so suddenly, Lu Ren can still remember that he had left a few "rabbit holes" to take refuge in, which is already a rare thing.
In this way, hearing the screams of the villagers, Lu Ren's whole body trembled, forced himself to maintain a little composure, and after looking for it, he went headlong into the hole under the root of a certain tree. When Lu Ren covered the hole with trembling hands, the whole person couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly gasped violently, and his heart was pounding wildly.
After a long time, Lu Ren's rough breath finally eased, but the person also fell into the fatigue and weakness after the panic, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he actually fell asleep.
I don't know how long it has been, Lu Ren suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and then reached out to touch his forehead, which turned out to be full of cold sweat. Reluctantly took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, Lu Ren first listened to the movement outside on the wall of the cave, and after making sure that there was no sound, he carefully removed a little cover from the hole, revealing half of his head to peek around.
At this moment, it was already dark for a long time, Lu Ren checked the time displayed in the chip again, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and there was already silence around him. Lu Ren carefully reconnoitred for a long time, and only after making sure that there were no problems around him did he get out of the hole. After carefully looking at the left and right, he finally climbed a big tree, hid in the shade of the leaves, and looked at the other side of the village.
At this moment, there are fires in many places in the small village, and I don't know whether it was set on fire by Cao Bing, or whether the villagers were killed, and the fire in the house was left unattended and caused the fire to catch fire. Anyway, as soon as Lu Ren saw this firelight, he knew that there was no longer a living mouth in the small village.
Lu Ren sighed, sat on the branch weakly, and hugged his head with both hands: "What went wrong?" How could Cao Cao's soldiers and horses come over so quickly? Could it be the difference in calculation between the Han Dynasty calendar and the modern calendar? But I have always used the records in the history books to calculate, and the calendar used in the history books is the calendar of the Han Dynasty! ”
After sighing bitterly for a while, Lu Ren finally calmed himself down, and then carefully recalled the Cao Cao cavalry he saw today, and Lu Ren began to analyze again: "I can't count how many of those cavalry there are, and Mao Mao's calculations should be more than a thousand horsemen...... In movies, television, and games, it's all nonsense to pull out tens of thousands of cavalry at every turn, and Cao Cao's current strength is not strong, these more than 1,000 cavalry should be Cao Cao's most of the cavalry's family base, mainly used to fight surprise attacks, the vanguard army for sneak attacks, right? And they just divided a hundred to ride out, and the main target is still in Tancheng. Cavalry is not suitable for siege, and a thousand cavalry sieges are simply not enough, so their main purpose should be...... Harassing and cutting off Tancheng's external contact? I don't know much about military affairs, but this explanation should be reasonable. If this is the case, Cao Cao's main force should still be behind. ”
Thinking of this, Lu Ren couldn't help but affirm his judgment: "Otherwise, Cao Cao actually sent the cavalry vanguard in advance to disrupt Tao Qian's deployment, and the main force followed behind, and the history books only recorded the dispatch time of the main force, and did not record the vanguard cavalry troops." If that's the case, the history books didn't fool me, it's because I didn't think about it. ”
Raising his eyes and looking in the direction of Tancheng, Lu Ren suddenly had the urge to cry: "This time it's really miserable." With such a cavalry unit circling around Tancheng, Tancheng must have closed its gates, and I will definitely not be able to return to Tancheng City. If I insist on going over, it will only be a dead end if I encounter those cavalry again, and even if I am lucky enough not to run into it, the city gate of Tancheng will not be able to open the city gate for a person like me...... His sister, why should I hide from Mi Zhen when I'm full? Even if you agree to Mi Zhu and give Mi Zhen to the arch again, it's actually not a big deal! Well, the shelter I've been looking for is completely useless, and where can I run now? Why don't I go to Zheng Xuan's place to hide first? But how to get to where Zheng Xuan lives? Sister's sister, I knew this was the case, I should have found an excuse to go to Zheng Xuan some time ago, so I can be regarded as recognizing the way! ”
After blaming himself for a long time, Lu Ren still decided to go back to the village to have a look first, after all, if he wanted to run away, he would have to bring something to eat. And this time I came back from Mi Zhu, and I brought back a lot of grain and rice, but I don't know if the cavalry who entered the village looted it thoroughly.
In this regard, Lu Ren analyzed it again, thinking that the main purpose of those cavalry was to kill all the living mouths to prevent the news from leaking out, and after the matter was completed, it should be to take away the things that could be seen on the surface and then join the cavalry of the brigade, rummaging things should not be thorough, and Li Lao has always had the habit of hiding things a little, so he should still be able to find some food as rations when he ran away.
It's just that as soon as he thought of Li Lao, Lu Ren's expression immediately darkened. I thought I could save Li Lao, but I didn't expect such a result, what else could Lu Ren do besides sighing?
Xiao cautiously touched back to the village, under the cover of the night, Lu Ren first reconnoitred very carefully, and after repeatedly making sure that there was no Cao Bing in the village, Lu Ren returned to the small mud courtyard. As for the bloodstains and corpses all over the village, Lu Ren didn't dare to look at them, and he couldn't bear to look at them, because Lu Ren was afraid that after he looked at them a few more times, the whole person would collapse. Although he has long known that he is in a troubled world, his relatively quiet life has always made Lu Ren subconsciously avoid this question, but unfortunately now there is no way to avoid it, so he can only use the method of not seeing to deceive himself.
There was also a fire in the small mud courtyard, and after Lu Ren entered the courtyard, by the light of the fire, he saw at a glance that someone in the courtyard was lying in a pool of blood, but this person was not Li Lao, but Xiaoping, who used to pester himself to play music. Lu Ren was shocked, and covered his mouth with both hands, not letting himself make any noise, but a few tears had quietly fallen from the corners of his eyes. In the entire village, the closest to him, except for Li Laozhiyuan, who is almost dependent on each other, only Xiaoping, a child, is the closest to him. Can ...... now
Desperately holding back the many abnormalities on his body, Lu Ren walked closer, and saw Xiaoping under the firelight, his eyes were still wide open because of fright, but his body had long since lost its temperature. Lu Ren covered his mouth with one hand, his heart was already in chaos, but he could only sigh heavily, and stretched out his other hand to soothe Xiaoping's eyes.
Reluctantly adjusted his mentality, Lu Ren stepped into Li Lao's small mud house, and saw Li Lao fall under the kang at a glance, and the ground was full of blood. Seeing this situation, although Lu Ren had already expected the result and was a little mentally prepared, he couldn't help but slam his fist on the mud wall, and his heart was full of self-blame: "I'm X! If I had thought about things a little more and taken Elder Li to Tancheng a few days earlier, it wouldn't be like this......
Lu Ren was blaming himself, but Li Lao, who fell under the kang, opened a crack with great difficulty, and after reluctantly glancing at the person in front of the door, Li Lao suddenly smiled, but this smile may not even be barely counted: "Ah, Ah Ren, you, you're fine......"
Lu Ren was taken aback and hurriedly rushed to the front: "Li, old man Li, you, you are still alive!" ”
