Chapter 572: The Hun Scouts Did It

Getting closer and closer to the town, Liu Wei and the others could already see the big stone tablet marked with the name at the entrance of the town from a distance, and a personal soldier rode a horse and ran up from behind, and when he got behind Liu Wei, he did not turn over and dismount, but rode on horseback and hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Cai knows that there is a town ahead, and I implore Your Highness to allow her to enter the town with Your Highness!" ”

After receiving the report from the soldiers, Liu Wei turned his head and showed a forced smile to Guan Qing on the side, and said to Guan Qing: "Zhao Ji knows the king's intentions, and knows that the king will enter the town, so please take the first step and ask to follow!" ”

Smiling slightly, Guan Qing did not answer, but turned his gaze to the town that was close enough to see the stone tablet.

Gradually approaching the town, just as Liu Wei was about to let people go in to investigate, a team of people rushed out of the town.

The group that rushed out was not very numerous, only about 500 people.

Except for the general who rode at the front, who wore a shiny scale armor, the rest of the team was all wearing the Luoyang Army's red robes like flames.

Unlike the ordinary Luoyang army, this team of men and horses had feathers like Yulinwei on their helmets, but the feathers on their helmets were not red, but shimmering golden in the setting sun.

The group of people who walked out of the town was the dragoon guard led by Deng Zhan to open the way in front of the army.

Leading the dragoon guards and the army in the opposite direction, running to a place where there were still twenty or thirty paces away from Liu Bian, Deng Zhan raised an arm to stop the advance of the team, and he himself rode his horse towards Liu Bian.

When Liu Wei approached, Deng Zhan was riding on horseback, and as soon as he picked up his fists, Liu Wei slightly furrowed his brows and asked him, "What's wrong?" Could it be that there's something wrong with the town? ”

Deng Zhan's face was very ugly, and even when he hugged his fist to Liu Zhan, his brows were still tightly twisted into the word "Sichuan", because before he could speak, Liu Wei had already seen that something must have happened in the town, so without waiting for Deng Zhan to speak, he asked him first.

Turning his head to look at Guan Qing and Gao Shun who were following Liu Bian, Deng Zhan first sighed lightly, then shook his head, and said to Liu Bian in a very indignant tone: "The Huns have been here......

"It's another dead town with no one!" After listening to Deng Zhan's words, Liu Wei also frowned tightly, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Dead town is dead town!" With a long sigh, Deng Zhan shook his head, his expression revealed unconcealable sadness, and said to Liu Wei: "It's just that the last general doesn't know, whether it can be regarded as a ...... without people."

Deng Zhan's words were very strange, Liu Wei suddenly had a more ominous feeling in his heart, he twisted his brows and looked at Deng Zhan from head to toe, and only then did he blush, and said to Deng Zhan: "Lead this king to take a look!" ”

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei just shook off the reins and was about to clamp his legs towards the horse's belly, when not far behind him, Cai Yan's call was heard.

Hearing Cai Yan calling him behind him, Liu Wei turned his head and looked behind him.

As in the palace, Cai Yan, who followed Liu Wei on the expedition, wore a plain white Luo skirt.

Although the soldiers had just come to plead with Liu Wei and asked Liu Wei to take her with him when he entered the town, Cai Yan later thought about it, the situation in the town was still unclear, and Liu Wei didn't think that he would take her with him, so he got out of the carriage and walked to the front of the line, intending to personally implore Liu Wei to take her with him.

Approaching Liu Wei, Cai Yan happened to hear what Deng Zhan said, and she suddenly understood that there must have been a tragedy in the town in front of her that even Deng Zhan couldn't easily accept.

Deng Zhan, who was born as a swordsman, has already been stained with blood on his long sword, and if he can't stand it, I'm afraid the scene must be extremely bleak!

"Your Highness is going to enter the town?" As soon as Liu Wei turned his head, Cai Yan blessed him, looked up at him, and asked softly.

"Hmm!" Riding on horseback, Liu Wei nodded to Cai Yan and said to her: "Zhao Ji can go back to the carriage and sit down first, and then lead Zhao Ji into the town when he is in front of this king." ”

Looking up at Liu Bian, from Liu Bian's words, Cai Yan had already heard that Liu Bian didn't want to take her into the town together, and he didn't dare to force it too much, but he just blessed Liu Bian with a slightly gloomy expression, and stood sideways.

With Deng Zhan, Guan Qing and the accompanying Wang sisters, Liu Wei rode his horse towards the town surrounded by five hundred dragoons.

As soon as he got close to the entrance of the town, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

The smell of blood seemed to have been old for a long time, mixed with the stench of decomposing corpses.

Raising an arm and covering his mouth and nose, Liu Wei frowned, and did not strangle the war horse, but clamped his legs the horse's abdomen, urging the war horse to speed up a little.

Hundreds of war horses followed Liu Wei into the town, and the people on horseback saw Liu Wei standing in the middle of the entrance to the main road in the town, staring ahead like a statue.

On the narrow bluestone road, the dried blood stains had long since solidified, and corpses fell on the road.

The walls of the houses on both sides of the road were sprayed with blood as thick as if it had been spilled. The dried blood stains are no longer bright red, but purple-black similar to coke.

Standing at the end of the street for a while, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he shook off the reins and urged the horse to walk forward along the street.

Deng Zhan, Guan Qing, and the Wang sisters saw him walking forward and hurriedly followed, while five hundred dragoon guards stood at a distance, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

The corpses were stacked on top of each other in the streets, and judging by the number of dead civilians, the town must have been extremely prosperous in the past.

There were all sorts of corpses lying on the streets, in all sorts of poses.

There are parents who end up killing their families in one place in order to protect their children; There are also those who try to resist, and after falling to the ground, they still hold a wooden stick in their hands; What's more, there are many corpses of young women on the street who are not wearing an inch of cloth, and I think that when they were alive, they were not abused by the Huns!

"Such a trampling of life!" Walking along the street for a while, he came to a mountain of civilian corpses, Liu Wei restrained his horse, squinted his eyes slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that the Huns don't know how to fear life at all?" With such a blind slaughter, this king will definitely let these Huns die without a place to be buried! ”

When he said this, Liu Wei was almost gritting his teeth.

There was a heavy chill in his tone, and every word that came out of his mouth was like ice slag condensed in the cold winter, which made people feel excited when they heard it.

"Can you find out when the Huns passed by?" Looking around at the miserable dead bodies everywhere, Liu Wei frowned, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked Deng Zhan, who was standing behind him.

"Many towns were made by Hun reinforcement scouts!" I don't know if it was infected by Liu Bian's anger, or seeing the tragic situation in the town, he was originally full of anger, when Liu Bian asked when the Huns who passed by did it, Deng Zhan clenched his fists and bowed, almost gritting his teeth and said to Liu Bian: "The Huns have a scout, enter the state in advance, and make chaos around the border of the state, one is to explore the terrain and roads, and the other is to deter our army ...... by slaughtering civilians",

"Deter our army......" His eyes narrowed slightly, Liu Wei first repeated the last four words of Deng Zhan's words in an extremely cold tone, and then said to him: "Order someone to find out, how many people are in this Xiongnu scout, and where they are stationed now, this king will personally lead the army and go to exterminate them!" Not a single one to stay! ”

followed Liu Wei into the street full of dead people, and everyone already felt a depression in their hearts that was difficult to soothe. Now that I heard Liu Wei's words of endless determination in the coldness, I felt like I was about to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

"Your Highness......" Looking at Liu Bian, whose face was blue and his figure was covered with a thick and bloody aura under the afterglow of the setting sun, Guan Qing was silent for a long time before he took two steps closer to Liu Bian, lowered his voice and asked, "...... the corpses in the town?" ”

"Let the soldiers find a field outside the town and bury the villagers!" Squinting his eyes slightly, Liu Wei threw such a sentence to Guan Qing, then turned over and jumped off the horse, and said to Guan Qing, Deng Zhan and the others: "This king will live in this town tonight." The king will listen well at night, but there are people who have died and asked the king to avenge them! ”

"No!" At the end of the Han Dynasty, although people also had awe of ghosts and gods, they did not reach the level of awe that was almost **** after the Tang and Song dynasties, especially the Song Dynasty.

A group of Luoyang troops drove into the town, and the corpses of the people tortured and killed by the Huns were carried out of the town by the Luoyang army soldiers.

Sitting in the carriage and following the army into the town slowly, Cai Yan stretched out his hand to open the curtain and look out all the way.

She was shocked to see the bloody corpse!

She once thought she had witnessed the troubled times, but at this time she had mixed feelings in her chest, and she didn't know what words to use to express the anger in her heart.

The corpses carried out of the town by the Luoyang army included not only men, but also many women, among which there were even countless small bodies of children and the old man's blood-soaked and stiffened body.

The Xiliang Army was cruel back then, but the Xiliang Army rarely slaughtered children, and every time they were slaughtered, they always left some roots and seedlings for the villages and towns that were slaughtered.

But the trampling of foreign races is countless times more cruel than that of the Xiliang army.

Wherever the Huns' horses' hooves passed, countless families were wiped out, countless women were killed without mercy after suffering humiliation, and countless children closed their immature eyes and left the world they had not seen too much!

Looking at the corpses that were carried out of the town, Cai Yan was also angry! She only felt as if her chest was pressed against a heavy boulder, she was suffocating and breathless, and her brain seemed to be about to be scorched by the fire to the point that she couldn't think!
