Chapter 311: Bloody
Hearing the miserable wails of the people and seeing the faces full of extremely sad expressions, Jiang Long and the others, who were originally happy because they had besieged and annihilated dozens of alien soldiers who had escaped from the village, couldn't help but sink their hearts.
As long as there is war, there will be death!
It's just a soldier.
The horse leather shroud, the halberd and the sand are sunk, this is the ultimate fate of the soldiers.
But the slaughter of the unarmed people is hateful!
When Jiang Long rode the snow field to the village, more than a dozen civilians had already died under the scimitars and maces of the alien soldiers.
When the sergeant arrived, the alien sergeant panicked and fled.
Although Jiang Long shouted loudly and asked the people to give way and not cause more innocent casualties, because there were relatives killed before, there were still a few men who died in the way and did not retreat.
They frantically waved their sticks in their hands, trying to stop all the alien soldiers.
Wait for reinforcements to arrive, so that you can annihilate all the enemies and avenge the death of your loved ones.
The end result is a corpse lying on the ground.
Recently, Hewu County has often been looted by horse bandits and foreign armies, and people have been sent to spread the word around.
This small village also received the letter, so it sent people to watch the entrance of the village.
When the lookout saw an alien army coming, they called out all the villagers and formed a circle to defend them.
Since it is a defense, the people on the periphery are naturally men.
So the dozen or so people who died in the village were all adult men.
The elderly, the women, and the children were all at the back of the pack, only slightly frightened.
Li Zheng saw Jiang Long and others coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and after asking, he realized that the brave young general who arrived first was actually Lingtong County Order.
With the respect of the county order, he actually personally carried a spear and fought with dozens of foreign soldiers!
And he arrived alone.
If it had been a little longer, more villagers would have been killed.
Li Zheng took the villagers to kneel down and kowtow to Jiang Long, thanking Jiang Long for his life-saving grace.
Jiang Long has been an official for a long time in this era, and he has become accustomed to the people kowtowing, passing over the crowd and coming to the place where the corpses are placed.
Looking at the mutilated corpse, Jiang Long clenched his fists.
"Are you done cleaning up the battlefield?"
Hearing this, Tudu replied, "It's almost there." ”
"After cleaning up the battlefield, let them all come here and have a look." Jiang Long said again.
"Yes."
Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned.
Then the sergeants were ordered by Jiang Long to line up and came to the small courtyard one by one.
Jiang Long's purpose was very simple, he had seen many sergeants fighting against the enemy before, and he was a little nervous and afraid.
So let them come and see, if they are soft, they will die by themselves.
The battlefield is the most capable of changing a person in a short period of time.
Looking at the partners, comrades-in-arms, relatives, and good brothers around you dying in front of you one by one, it will make people angry, resentful, ruthless, and even numb.
Why not train this Minzhuang, who is not a full-time sergeant, there will be opportunities to go to the battlefield in the future, but there will not be too many.
After all, the main responsibility of these people is to guard the county seat of Lingtong.
Less on the battlefield, then they can't get real exercise.
Now let them look at the corpses of the people, and make them hate the alien soldiers and bandits even more.
In this way, in the next battle, they can really show their strength.
Of course, there will definitely be people among these people who are still soft-hearted and will be eliminated at that time.
Battlefield fighting, in addition to personal bravery, is also a test of a person's inner strength.
If your heart is too fragile and you don't want to kill, or you don't dare to kill, the final outcome will inevitably be to die under the enemy's knife.
Tudu, Gunty Bak, and Qin Yu and others, after a little thought, understood Jiang Long's intentions.
"These are the people of Daqi, they work hard, plough in the spring and harvest under the scorching sun, and they are just trying to get food and clothing for a year, how simple is what they want? But there are wolves and tigers, running to burn and loot......"
In addition to watching, listen too.
Jiang Long was impassioned, which made the blood of these sergeants boil one by one.
"Bring all the captives!"
Seeing that his morale had been boosted, Jiang Long gave an order.
While cleaning up the battlefield, it was found that several of the alien sergeants were only wounded and still alive.
Including the little leader of the alien race who was put off his horse by Jiang Longyihe, although he was stabbed in his chest and his face was pale due to excessive blood loss, he was still panting.
There were nine people in all, all of whom were dragged up by the sergeant.
All nine had blue lips and fearful eyes.
Jiang Long's eyes were indifferent, and he swept over the faces of these people one by one.
At this moment, the little leader struggled to speak and muttered a few words.
So Jiang Long frowned slightly, because he didn't understand.
This is a frontier area bordering foreign territory, and there are many people who can listen to foreign languages, and a sergeant stepped forward to translate.
Jiang Long understood, and laughed for a while.
It turned out that this little boss didn't want to die, and wanted to redeem his life with money.
He promised five hundred taels of silver and twenty horses.
When the other alien sergeants heard this, they also spoke one after another.
One by one, they all want to buy back their lives with money.
When the silver is gone, you can earn it again, but when your life is gone, everything is over.
The bids were high and low, the high ones were not higher than the little leader, and the low ones were also a hundred taels of silver, and seven or eight war horses.
After hearing this, the onlookers all moved their eyes to Jiang Long's face.
Many people have bitter hatred in their eyes.
Because their relatives died not long ago.
These wounded aliens in front of them are the executioners who killed their loved ones!
But no one dared to speak out.
Although the imperial law prohibits the buying and selling of foreign captives, there are still many people who privately agree to let the captives redeem themselves.
As long as the price is right, even if the princes and nobles of different races are captured alive, they can still redeem themselves.
Most of the Great Qi generals and sergeants who traded also hated the aliens.
But only when you have money in your hands can you support your family.
Therefore, knowing that Lu Dao let the aliens redeem themselves, he was letting the tiger return to the mountain, and he still did business.
This kind of trade has been one of the ways for many generals and sergeants to make money.
Most of the people of the frontier have heard of it.
"Self-redemption?"
Jiang Long sneered, raised his hand and pointed to the corpses of dozens of people, "They also want to redeem themselves and be able to come back to life, have you given them a chance?" ”
The sergeant who knew a foreign language immediately translated it to the little boss and the others.
These people are even more panicked.
"You are a group of evil wolves who only know how to rob, and the silver in your hands was originally robbed from our people, and we used our money to buy back your lives?" Jiang Long's voice was fierce, "After you go back to recover from your injuries, then ride a horse to rob us of our silver?" ”
As soon as the voice landed, the onlookers couldn't help but applaud loudly.
"How can this officer do what you want?"
The sergeant translated the past, and these alien sergeants were even more afraid.
One by one, they shouted.
Without the sergeant's translation, Jiang Long could also guess that in the face of death, these timid aliens were already frightened.
Increase the price and increase the price, just to be able to go back alive.
Burst!
Jiang Long suddenly made a move and pulled out the sword on Fan Ren's waist who was standing beside him.
The sword flashed and was already in his throat.
An alien sergeant's eyes widened, and his mouth snorted, and he didn't bat at a glance.
No one expected that Jiang Long would suddenly make a move.
It wasn't until Jiang Long pulled out his sword that the sergeant went from kneeling to falling sideways that everyone reacted.
Everyone's eyes were instantly fixed on Jiang Long.
There was surprise in the eyes of the people, because Jiang Long said with his actions that he would not let the alien soldiers redeem themselves.
These enemies who killed their relatives will all die here.
There is also awe.
Jiang Long shot decisively, without hesitation, and killed without blinking.
The surrounding sergeants were shocked and admired in their eyes.
Jiang Long's shot was unexpected.
The price offered by these aliens was very high, and if it was replaced by them, they might not be able to withstand the temptation of silver.
Fan Ren's eyes flashed, and when he saw that Jiang Long was not greedy for money, he thought that he was following the right person.
He already planned to follow Jiang Long for a long time.
The alien sergeants kneeling in front of them shouted even louder.
One by one, they were terrified, their voices hoarse, some of them raised their prices, and some of them begged loudly.
The majestic body of the little leader was already trembling.
Jiang Long's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at the little leader, and several of the dozen or so civilians who died in the battle were killed by heavy weapons.
And in this group of alien sergeants, only the small leader uses a heavy weapon mace.
Feeling the faint murderous aura on Jiang Long's body, the little leader's face showed despair.
Sonor!
However, Jiang Long was put into the sheath of his sword.
The next moment, Jiang Long turned around and left abruptly, and his cold voice also sounded, "Let the people take revenge on themselves!" ”
Then he ordered the sergeants, "You all stay and watch." ”
As soon as Jiang Long and the others walked out of the courtyard gate, a group of ordinary people rushed up and punched and kicked those alien soldiers.
The alien sergeants snorted in pain and rolled on the ground.
After a while, someone had a nose bleed and convulsions.
The little boss had killed several civilians before, and the relatives of the deceased had already been staring at him.
The serpent-like gaze made the little leader tremble.
In the past, he only regarded these Daqi people as livestock, a flock of sheep, and he grabbed them when he wanted them, and killed them when he wanted to.
It was only at this moment that it was discovered that these sheep actually had fangs.
These people pounced, not only punching and kicking, but even biting with their teeth.
It seems that if you don't do this, you can't fully vent the hatred in your heart.
The little boss's nose fell off and his right ear was gone......
The eyeballs were also detonated.
Finally, no more rolling and dodging.
Hearing a burst of miserable screams around him, Jiang Long took a deep breath.
Of course, he will not be soft-hearted.
If you go to war, you will die.
Either the enemy dies, or he dies.
Fan Ren pulled out the sword at his waist at this time and gently wiped the blood stains on the sword.
For no reason, Jiang Long remembered two lines of poetry.
Killed millions of soldiers in Jiangnan, and the sword on his waist was still bloody.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who made it after the Battle of Poyang Lake, and Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang's million-strong army with fewer victories.
The next day, he made a private visit to a monastery, and the host saw that his evil spirit was very heavy, so he wanted to relieve his evil spirit and asked his name. Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a poem on the wall of the temple, and he walked away with a smile.
At this time, after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he already had the ambition to sweep the air and see the world, and the poems always revealed the spirit of a king.
The last two sentences are that the old monk doesn't know the hero, so he just asks for his name.
At this time, Jiang Long, thinking of this poem, was also heroic.
Of course, there is no way to compare with Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.
When Zhu Yuanzhang wrote this poem, he had already defeated Chen Youliang and had his own base.
There are ambitions, and there are ambitions!
Look at the world and touch the country.
