Chapter 143: Burning Qilin Village
After reading Yue Fei's letterhead, he was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling surged from the bottom of his heart.
The cavalry units in front had drifted away.
Looking at the figure of the cavalry troops, Wanyan Wushu suddenly had an impulse to summon the cavalry troops back; However, when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know where to start, so he had to swallow the words in his throat again.
After hesitating for a long time, Wanyan Wushu shouted, "Herald, come here." β
A middle-sized Jurchen walked over quickly, stroked his chest with his left hand, and asked, "Fourth Highness, what are your orders?" β
Wanyan Wushu waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, and the rest of the soldiers will immediately set off and go to Qilin Village."
After a while, five hundred elite abducted horse cavalry and more than five hundred Jurchen warriors who had just been released turned over and rode slowly in the direction of Qilin Village.
Going to Qilin Village was just to rob ordinary people's homes, and the heavily armed kidnappers and horses were a burden, so they didn't follow the large army just now, but stayed to protect several royal highnesses.
The knights of the kidnapping horses were originally a little resentful, but after receiving the order to go to Qilin Village, the team was jubilant; Although it is a little late, after all, it can make some oil and water.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Within a radius of 100 miles, Qilin Village is a large village, with a large population and large households, and it has raised funds to build a village protection wall, just like a small county town.
A wide avenue at the entrance of the village allows eight horses to walk together, which is comparable to the official road of the imperial court.
Captain Ullele stopped his horse, looked at the closed gate in the distance, and sneered: "Sons. His Royal Highness said. All the grabs are your own! At sunset. Assemble at the entrance of the village. β
The five thousand Jurchen cavalry cheered in unison and rode their horses towards Qilin Village.
There were still twenty zhang away from the village gate, and I didn't know what mechanism was triggered by the road, dozens of arrows were shot head-on, and the war horses that rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another.
The Jurchens are indeed superb horsemen and agile; Although the horses fell to the ground, the men jumped out of their saddles and separated from each other. and did not stop the advance of the companions behind.
Seeing the big stall of blood in the snow, the Jurchens behind were even more violent, and before the second round of arrows in the village was fired, the Jurchens had already forcibly smashed open the village gate and rushed in.
Inside the village, chickens and dogs suddenly walked away, screaming everywhere, and there was a mess.
Seeing that the front team was not hindered, the Jurchens in the back were even more anxious and went in later. Speaking of chickens, you may not even be able to grab an egg.
Less than a stick of incense. Five thousand Jurchen cavalry, all poured into Qilin Village.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Commander Uriel, who rushed to the front, was very anxious in his heart, and searched several houses one after another, although there were all the furniture and miscellaneous items, and there were also domestic animals such as chickens, ducks, dogs, and cows, but he could not see a living person.
The whole Qilin Village is neatly tied, not only does the ground not have the slightest snow, but also has a thick layer of hay, which is very comfortable and dry; There was also a pungent smell in the air.
Could it be that this village is a trap?
The more Uriel thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Seeing a family with smoke still coming from the chimney, Uriel hurriedly led people to the yard.
The rooms were searched, but there was still no living person in sight; Uriel went into the kitchen and saw that the charcoal fire in the hearth was about to be extinguished, and on the stove there was a picture of charcoalβa skull, and a fire underneath.
Seeing a large water tank beside the stove, Uriel opened the lid and saw that it was dry, and there was not a drop of water.
Uriel was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out, and he shouted repeatedly: "This village is a trap, get out quickly, get out quickly"
It's a pity that the 5,000 Jurchen cavalry have already scattered away, going from house to house, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, doing their own work, and where can they still hear Uriel's shouts.
It took a lot of effort for Uriel to find the herald and was about to give the order to blow the trumpet and retreat.
Suddenly, several arrows flew over Qilin Village, followed by many rockets flying from there, and in a short moment, the entire village was set on fire everywhere, and the smoke was filled.
Qilin Village turned into a fire dragon in the blink of an eye, devouring the five thousand Jurchen cavalry in one bite.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Wanyan Wushu and the brothers chased after each other, and finally came to the main road in front of Qilin Village.
Looking from afar, in front of the gate of Qilin Village, only more than 100 cavalry clansmen were watching the guards, and the rest of the clansmen seemed to have entered the village to beg for a living.
I didn't notice anything unusual, and I was about to say something to my brothers after finishing the Yan Wushu, shaking the reins.
Suddenly, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh", four arrows flew into the air one after another.
Immediately after, countless rockets flew up from both sides and shot into the Qilin Village.
For a time, thick smoke rose everywhere; The shouts of people, the neighing of horses, the falling of debris in houses, etc., were mixed together and carried by the wind.
Wanyan Wushu's worst fear finally happened.
"Herald," Wanyan Wushu was about to give the order to blow the trumpet and charge, and led the soldiers to rush over to save people.
"Your Highness, slow down!" The staff officer next to him is nameless. Be Mixi hurriedly stopped Yan Wushu and said: "Although this road is wide, it is full of dense forests on both sides, and there must be an ambush in it, which is a typical cloth bag terrain; If Your Highness goes in, he will just throw himself into the net, and the consequences will be terrible! β
Helplessly, Wanyan Wushu had no choice but to stop the horse with the princes and look up.
Qilin Village, a few miles in front of it, was full of flames and thick smoke, and it had completely turned into a sea of fire.
Although there are also some people who are good at the shape of the clansmen who have climbed over the wall one after another and fled from the fire; But compared to the 5,000 clansmen, the number of people who could escape was still too small.
More than 100 Jurchen soldiers in front of the village entrance were in a dilemma, so they could only let go of their throats and shouted: "Fight the fire!" β
Wanyan Wushu saw it in his eyes, and his heart kept bleeding:
"My good son, don't say that the Han people can't listen to your Jurchen; Even if they could really understand, how could they come and help save people? β
The eldest prince Muhan and the fifth prince Zeli were the most irritable, and roared loudly on their horses: "Do we just watch our people being burned to death by fire? β
Wanyan Wushu is in difficulty, and he has no idea all of a sudden, and he doesn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the exclamation of "blood, blood" came from the ranks behind him.
After Yan Wushu turned his head to look, the more than 500 Jurchen knights who had been released were slowly bleeding from their eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth.
"Bleeding from the Seven Orifices?" Wanyan Wushu was shocked, and turned his head to look at the four brothers beside him.
Although there was no bleeding from the seven orifices, the four brothers were all white, with a painful face, and they sat on their horses, not daring to move at all.
After Yan Wushu understood, he was teased by Yue Fei again.
"Bang, bang, bang......" There was a chaotic sound behind him.
After Yan Wushu looked back, those Jurchen soldiers who were bleeding from the seven orifices had lost consciousness and fell off their horses one after another.
Wanyan Wushu's palms were cold, and he suddenly exerted his strength, and howled loudly: "Yue Fei, I know that you are nearby, please give me the antidote, I can't lose my brother." β
There was silence at the entrance of the village, and there was no response, only the chaotic sounds coming from the village in the distance.
"Yue Fei, count me to you, give me the antidote, I can't lose my brother." Wanyan Wushu knelt on his legs and cried loudly.
After a while, a ringing arrow shot in the direction of Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Wushu took the arrow with one hand, and a small sachet was tied to the shaft of the arrow.
When I opened it, there was no more, no less, just five pills. (To be continued......)
