Chapter 626: Missed
Bodi didn't know why these Han people had to have a military attache named Yang Chengzu. Even this operation to enter the customs was to open the horse market and restore the trade routes between the Central Plains and the grasslands that had been cut off by the Battle of Yingzhou, but also to ask for the head of Yang Chengzu.
In his opinion, these Han people have hands and eyes to the sky, and their influence has penetrated into all strata of the Ming Dynasty, so that their army can enter the customs smoothly, and they can also make the border army of King Qinwang unable to rush to the rescue in time. Since he has such a strong ability, why should he be obsessed with arresting a military attachΓ©? Otherwise, hire some people to do it, and cut him down, won't it be over?
For the Mongols, these calculations were too complicated to fit their habits of thinking. However, the men on the grassland have their own wisdom and calculations, since these people want this person so much, then this person can't be handed over so easily. At the very least, he must be exchanged for enough benefits before he can make the transaction.
"Distinguished guest, as far as I know, the man named Yang Chengzu doesn't seem to have been caught yet. But I have commanded the heads of the tribes, and if I find him, I will cut off his head and give it to my guests. β
The Han man smiled, "Great Khan, it seems that the news we got is not quite the same. Yang Chengzu had already fallen into the hands of Kedun of the Qimud Division, and his head was still well on his neck, and it didn't seem to have been cut off. Of course, this is not a bad thing, I hope that the Great Khan will hand over the people to his subordinates, and as for the decapitation, it is good for the contemptible people to do it themselves. β
Yang Chengzu and Guo Jiujie didn't expect that small village to last long under the iron cavalry of the Mongols, and those gatehouse courtyard walls could not play a role in front of the Mongol soldiers. As long as there are six or seven good archers, you can suppress all the descendants of the village, and then you can break the goal smoothly.
However, the Mongols did not know what was going on, and did not attack the village, and the two of them circled around the wall, and did not see any clues. The patriarch warmly invited them to go down to eat, and patted his chest to promise that even if he was born in this village, even if he spilled his life, he could ensure the safety of these people. Then he showed them a magic weapon, an escape tunnel.
According to the patriarch, this tunnel can lead directly to a dense forest behind the village, as long as it gets dark, escape along the tunnel, and then escape to the nearby nameless mountains. Although there are many Mongols, they are not familiar with the geography, and it is impossible to go into the mountains to search for people. After hearing this, the hearts of these people relaxed a little, and after eating something, they went down the tunnel.
I just walked for a long time, and I found that this tunnel was a large cellar at all, and there was no road ahead. When everyone turned around and wanted to go up, they found that the entrance to the tunnel had been sealed and could not be pushed open at all. When the entrance finally opened, dozens of Mongolian men armed with bows and arrows appeared in front of them.
At this point, Guo Jiujie realized that she had been betrayed by the patriarch, and a series of vicious curses spat out of her mouth, and she vowed to raze the entire village to the ground. The Mongolian officer who led the troops sneered and said, "Don't do it for you, we have done this work for you." There are no more men in this village. β
After going up, Guo Jiujie and the others found that the body of the patriarch had been cut into two and fell to the ground, and there were more than a dozen dead bodies in the village around them. When they came to the open space in the village, there were more dead bodies, and it was obvious that the villagers were taken to the courtyard by the Mongol soldiers, and then they were executed in a centralized manner.
All the children, including the infants, the elderly, and the boys, were all killed. In the room, the screams and wails of women and the laughter of men can be heard. Many soldiers lined up outside the house, and whenever one came out with his robe tied, the person behind him would immediately rush in.
In order to compete for a position, or to come first and first, some Mongols tore in the ranks, fists and feet, rolled together, tore at their opponents' bodies and hair, and rolled up puffs of smoke and dust on the ground.
Some of the Mongolian soldiers at the back of the line fell on Guo Jiujie and the female soldier beside her, and invariably, these soldiers surrounded them. The female soldiers beside Guo Jiujie realized that something was wrong and rushed in front of the young lady. However, Guo Jiujie's figure is taller than that of this female guard, and the significance of this kind of blocking is not obvious.
Several Mongolian soldiers seemed to be impatient, and reached out to touch Guo Jiujie's face, and a few went to touch the female soldier's chest. Although the two women have kung fu, they are tied with ropes, and their martial arts can't play a role, so they can only dodge in embarrassment, and the scene is not optimistic.
Suddenly, a soldier screamed and carried the female soldier up, and was about to walk to the house next to him, but then he felt a pain in his body, and he stumbled under his feet, and his body fell to the side, and the person in his hand also rolled to the ground. A young Han Chinese man had already knocked him to the side.
Yang Chengzu's body was also sturdy, and even the treasure knife with a sharp blade and the family heirloom embroidered spring knife were also confiscated. Before he could stand up, more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers surrounded him, and their fists and feet rained down, and the overturned Mongolian soldier drew his knife and came out with a knife, waiting to be cut down.
There was a whistling sound, a leather whip fell violently, and the Mongolian soldier with the knife screamed to dodge the leather whip, and the single knife in his hand fell to the ground. And the officer who wielded the whip scolded loudly, "You pigs, this is a person who wants to be wanted, who dares to hurt a single hair of him, Mo Zhigen will eat you alive!" If you want a woman, go and line up yourself! β
As soon as they heard about Mozhigen and Kedun, all the Mongol soldiers lost their courage and ran back to their respective ranks to line up. Several soldiers helped Yang Chengzu up, tied him up with Guo Jiujie and others, and escorted him to the outside of the village. Outside the village, a group of horsemen lined up, and each horse had a weeping woman, presumably from the village, as a trophy. Those who remain in the village will only be dead.
The cart behind the horse was full of grain, as well as bundled livestock and live chickens, and the leading officer whipped Yang Chengzu with a leather whip: "Han people, we want to see you, don't try to play any tricks, otherwise, we will trample you to death with horses!" β
These people were tied hands, they couldn't walk fast, their steps staggered forward, Guo Jiujie and Yang Chengzu were close, and took the opportunity to walk, and whispered: "Yang Chengzu, let's discuss something, find a chance to give me a chance, I can't embarrass the Marquis of Wuding!" β
"Don't dream, if I could kill you, I would have killed the Mongols. Don't worry, let's wait for the opportunity. β
In the midst of this uncertainty and apprehension about their future fate, the group was escorted by the soldiers until they came to the tall elephant chariot, and then they met the captain of the guard named Morrigan, and his elite guard.
