Chapter 20: Near the Thief Kou Seeks the Secret of the Village, and Accidentally Appears in the Valley of the Corpse
Huo Yi's troops marched fast, after all, they were trained, and no matter how they rode or walked, everyone had horses. The garrison was about two hundred miles away from Chong County, and the Gale Battalion guarding the baggage was slow behind under the command of Deng Ai, and Huo Yi himself personally led the rest of the men and horses to record the rapid march, and before nightfall, it was already less than fifty miles away from Chong County.
Although Huo Yi came from his previous life, he also knew the truth that tired soldiers did not fight, and found a wide and secluded place in the nearby mountains and forests, where he would raise horses, rest and camp, and Wang He led dozens of scouts to the rear to meet Deng Ai's baggage troops. The armies did not need Huo Yi's orders, the scouts hastily fed the horses and fodder, and made a few mouthfuls of dry food by themselves, so the whole team of more than 40 people was dispatched and scattered in various places five miles away from the garrison for vigilance.
The men and horses of the cavalry camp were divided into five teams with Wang Chong, and they took turns to patrol within five miles to prevent those who were ignored by the scouts from entering this area.
The Shooting Battalion stood with crossbows outside the battalion, and although there was no trace of the enemy, it was always in a state of combat readiness.
Fang Yuan battalion methodically dug pits and went down to the village, the tent of the Huo family army is also exquisite, different from other armies of the same era, the tent of the Huo family army has two sides, the front is earth yellow, the reverse side is leaf green, at this time the soldiers will be leaf green outward, looking at it from a distance, but it is the same color as the mountains and forests, and the end is very hidden.
Each army according to its own position, properly coordinated, Huo Yi on the side comfortably wiped his sword, from time to time with the soldiers who were camping to help, but all kinds of disgust and chaos, Huo Yi stood aside speechlessly, I don't know whether to be relieved or helpless.
About half an hour, the camp has begun to see the scale, the first to set up is naturally Huo Yi's Chinese military tent, the bored Huo Yi into his tent, there are already guards inside to set up a temporary desk for him, laid out a sheepskin blanket for rest.
Huo Yi put down the sword and spear, took off the helmet, such a heavy thing was really tiring and tight on his head, and he didn't untie his armor, he took out a sheepskin roll from his arms, and looked at it carefully, but it was a map of the distribution of barbarians near Wuling County, this map was also sent by the little official in Wuling County, the sheepskin roll was slightly yellow, and some of the lines on it were already blurred, and I don't know how many years ago the goods were hidden.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gold and iron ringing outside the tent, Wang Chong opened the curtain door, and when he came in, he didn't have time to salute, and said urgently: "General, come down with your subordinates!" There is a discovery! ”
Huo Yi raised his head, seeing Wang Chong so eager, he couldn't help frowning, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
didn't ask much at the moment, wearing a helmet and carrying a sword and holding a spear, there were already guards leading the horse, Wang Chong led the way, Huo Yi followed, Huo Yan led more than a dozen personal guards to follow. Go straight out of the camp. When they reached a valley three or five miles from the camp, the king rushed off his horse, and the cavalry of the valley mouth cavalry camp was on guard.
The sky was completely dark at this time, and the dim moonlight could only barely make people see the road ahead, and the guards lit torches and escorted Huo Yi into the valley.
Everywhere in sight, there were corpses, or they were shot by sharp arrows, or they were beheaded, or they were injured by sharp weapons. The ground was already soaked in blood. Even the blood has not yet dried.
Huo Yi came down from the battle array, except for the scout camp and the men and horses who had not fought in the battle array, they were all the masters of nine deaths and one life, and now that they have seen such a situation, everyone is related.
Lying on the ground are all unarmed civilians, what kind of people are so cruel to gather civilians here and do such bestial acts. Huo Yi thought of Nanjing in later generations, he graduated from school in Nanjing, and he had seen similar scenes in countless film and television photos, but how could it be so vivid and breathtaking.
Huo Yi even felt that his body was trembling, and the blood on the ground had not dried, if he hadn't been patrolling hundreds of miles away, he would have been able to save these people. For a while, I regretted it, and all kinds of feelings of anger came to my heart.
Suppressing his drowsy head and dazzling tears, Huo Yi slowly took a breath and said in a trembling voice: "Jing Xian, let the battalion leave a few troops, and everyone else will come here and help the victims into the ground!" ”
"Whoa!" Wang Chong took the order and left.
"Uh......"
Huo Yi seemed to hear some kind of groan, and followed the sound with a torch, and slowly walked towards the valley. Suddenly, the spear in his hand was tight, and he couldn't pull it, Huo Yi lowered his head and saw a slender and pale hand, stretched out from the cracks of several corpses, clutching his iron spear tightly, as if he was using all his strength to grasp his own vitality, desperately clutching.
Huo Yi squatted down, opened the corpses, and saw a bloodstained twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, with his hair in a messy bun, his mouth slightly open, as if he was tempting, breathing softly.
Huo Yi took off his cloak, wrapped it in his cloak, and leaned over to pick him up from the pool of blood, but he "hissed...... hiss......"
Huo Yi noticed that the young man's left arm had a deep knife wound that could be seen in the bones, it seemed that most of the people on his body were her parents and relatives, who sacrificed their lives to protect the girl.
Huo Yi carefully avoided the young man's wound and hugged him, as if he was caring for the whole world.
Huo Yi slowly walked out of the valley, but saw that Wang Chong was leading the armies to arrive, and ordered all the armies to bury the bodies of the victims in the valley to see if there was any life.
He carried the boy to the camp himself. Huo Yan led more than a dozen pro-soldiers to follow Huo Yi closely.
In the big tent, the military doctor was treating the wound for the young man, only to see the military doctor cut off the necrotic carrion with a red-hot knife, and the young man bit Huo Yi's palm in pain, Huo Yi endured the pain and looked at the young man quietly.
Not long after, the young man had already passed out, the military doctor cut the carrion, and waited to clean the wound with water, Huo Yi stopped the military doctor, let Huo Yan take a jar of wine, and cleaned the wound with wine, but the young man woke up from his slumber again, but at this time he didn't speak, just endured the pain, with tears in his eyes, and quietly looked at Huo Yi who was seriously washing the wound.
Han Du, a military doctor, had never seen anyone wash his wounds with wine, and he was puzzled for a while, Huo Yi seemed to know his doubts, and said lightly: "I have seen Hua Tuo's disciple, and he dealt with it like this." Okay, Doctor Han, apply the medicine! ”
Han Du naturally knew what Hua Tuo meant, so he secretly wrote down this method in his heart, slowly applied the mashed herbs to the injured area, bandaged the wound with a clean white cloth, and said slowly: "Ming said that I will change the medicine for him again!" If he can survive these three days, he can live, but if not, I can't do it. ”
Huo Yi nodded, and Han Du retreated. When he turned around, he saw that the young man was looking at him steadily, and his eyes were not a little angry until this moment.
