The tragedy in the middle of the river shocked the captives left behind on the west bank, and they watched in horror and disbelief at what was happening before them.

This carnage on the ice was bloodier and more terrible than any they had ever experienced.

As the last cries for help dissipated into the dark night sky, the captives still hadn't woken up from the nightmare.

They stared blankly at the river, staring blankly, the muscles on their faces as if frozen, without any change.

Quiet, suffocating still, without a sound.

It's a fear that comes from the bottom of your heart, a horror that instantly clotsifs blood like ice

"Ahh

Qi Sanbao's mouth was open enough to stuff a wine jug, and the hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably, looking at Jiang Wanli standing in front of him in horror.

His right foot took a step back, he was already frightened by the tragedy, as long as the officers and soldiers in front of him turned around, he believed that he would definitely draw his knife and slash at the other party in an instant.

The ice doesn't collapse for no reason, absolutely not, but the general passed with thousands of people in the morning, why did he not stop walking at night?

It must have been the officers and soldiers who did it, they must have done it, they wanted to kill us, kill us!

Qi Sanbao didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be like those people and become the souls of the officers and soldiers. He even began to regret that he shouldn't have listened to Zhao Xueqi's words and did something anyway. It's better now, stick your neck out and let others slaughter you!

The rebels who were "anyway" with him also raised their hearts to their throats and stared at Qi Sanbao intently, they were ready to fight desperately with the officers and soldiers.

Nothing was more alarming and disturbing than the imminent murder of oneself.

However, the officers and soldiers in front did not make any moves that frightened them, they always looked at the river steadily, and did not show them the slightest hideous face and brandished a butcher's knife.

No one even turned to say a word to them, they just stared at the river with determination.

Seeing a thousand lives swallowed up by the merciless river, no matter how accustomed these Jinzhou soldiers were to life and death, they couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

They are not butchers, let alone executioners, they are just soldiers, soldiers who fight for their homeland.

They didn't know why General Lu Dao wanted to kill these prisoners who had laid down their arms, and when they heard the order to kill the prisoners, the soldiers were also surprised and confused. However, the duty of soldiers is obedience, and they have become accustomed to obeying the orders of the general unconditionally, just as they can travel thousands of miles to Liaodong to serve the pride of this hometown.

The general must have a reason for doing this. The soldiers comforted themselves that they instinctively thought of things on the good side rather than on the bad side.

But no matter how they thought about it, everything that happened in front of them still made them feel a little heartbroken, after all, it was not those barbaric Jiannu who died, but the people of the Ming Dynasty like themselves.

Perhaps, not so long ago, these people were still planting crops in the fields like themselves, holding their wives and children at home and saying ridiculous things. Now, they are frozen corpses

"Let's cross the river."

Shi Dayong sighed and waved his hand at Guo Yi, who was busy beating his horse and sending orders to the battalions.

"All up, all up, cross the river, cross the river!"

Familiar voices rang out again, this time, but no one got up. The captives seem to have agreed that they will not die yet.

The quicksand river not far away has become a deadly demon in their eyes, and these officers and soldiers in front of them are the embodiment of demons.

Dozens of screams were repeated, but the captives still did not move.

Seeing this, Shi Dayong knew that the Dao captives no longer trusted him, and they were afraid of the same fate.

With a wry smile, if you were yourself, I am afraid that you will not get up either, and you may even fight with the officers and soldiers in a desperate way. Anyway, it is a death to be left and right, and it is more pleasant to be hacked to death by someone than to drown in water.

What would happen if, at this time, a traverser like himself suddenly possessed among these captives?

Stand up, Wang Ba's anger perked up, he shouted, the group responded, killed himself to a big defeat, and then wrote a new page?

Thinking too much, thinking too much, Shi Dayong smiled self-deprecatingly, if it was possible, he really hoped that such a scene would occur, because he felt as if he was becoming more and more violent, and seemed to have fallen into paranoia. If this goes on for a long time, who knows what will become of the most despised self.

Let's talk about the future later, but for now, let's send these poor people to the other side of the river. Everyone is born and raised by their parents, and no one can deprive others of their lives casually, even if there is hardship, no matter how last resort, it is also sinful

Shi Dayong rode his horse to the small dirt slope where the flag-waving soldiers were, and shouted to the captives: "You should be glad that you are alive!" Those who died died for you, for their death was exchanged for your life! “

"You don't have to worry about being like them, you can be sure that everything is over, you can cross the river safely, and no one will harm you!"

The captives were not moved by Shi Dayong's words, they looked blankly at the masked commander of the official army, and let out a vicious curse in their hearts.

Shi Dayong was helpless, knowing that the vigilance of the prisoners of the Dao Dao could not be dispelled by a few words, it seemed that they had to let them confirm that they could live.

"Drive them across the river, and those who don't want to cross the river will be killed on the spot!"

After coldly throwing down a sentence, Shi Dayong turned his horse's head and ran to the river.

"Let's go, let's go! If you want to live, go! If you don't want to live, don't move! ”

The Changping soldiers began to threaten, and the movements in their hands began to grow.

Under duress, some of the half-believing captives began to stand up, but there were not many of them, only a few hundred, and most of them still sat there refusing to get up.

The prisoners who stood up found that most of their companions had not moved, and they did not know for a moment whether they had crossed the river at the words of the officers and soldiers, or whether they had sat still like their companions.

Li Dashan and Shao Wu's two garrisons were impatient, and if the captives dragged on like this, when would they be a head. It's freezing this day, who the hell is going to be frozen outside.

Shi Dayong's order to kill became the gold medal for Li and Shao, and after a brief exchange of opinions, they ordered two hundred Changping soldiers to aim their guns at the captives, and asked the wolf cavalry to assist.

I don't eat the soft ones, I can only come to the hard ones.

Li Dashan viciously shouted at the captives: "If you don't leave, you will be fired!" ”

But the intimidation had no effect, and the captives refused to move as if they were hardened.

"Fuck! Look for death! ”

Li Dashan came up gangsterly, spat out, and waved his hand at the guns.

Suddenly, the sound of "bang" fire rang out, and after the black smoke cleared, more than a hundred captives fell in a pool of blood and struggled to roll.

The cries of wailing and the cries of terror rose and fell with each other. The captives without the guns retreated like frightened rabbits.

"But the river kills!"

The wolf cavalry pressed up viciously, and the sound of hooves made the captives unable to breathe.

The slower the wolf cavalry's horse speed controlled, the more frightened the captives became.

Cao Bianjiao's long knife was raised, and he looked ahead expressionlessly.

"Hurry across the river, cross the river, you fucking cross the river!"

Seeing that the wolf cavalry was about to make a move, he hurriedly ran to the captive, grabbed a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and then pulled him to the ice without looking back.

"If you want to live, follow me, quickly!"

Li Gu's actions caused the wolf cavalry to stop and attract the attention of the captives.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Gu pulled the young man and walked quickly on the ice. The young man's face was pale with horror at this time, but he didn't dare to struggle and resist, and let the other party drag forward involuntarily.

There is no conspiracy, the slaughter is over.

All the captives saw the officers and men always pulling one person across the river smoothly.

Could it be that the officers and soldiers really won't kill us?

The captives began to stir, and some began to believe that the officers and soldiers would not slaughter them again.

Seeing that the captives began to move, Shao Wu hurriedly shouted: "If you want to live, cross the river!" ”

The Changping soldiers rushed up again, threatening one after another, and finally, dozens of captives slowly walked out of the crowd, glanced at each other, and walked towards the river.

They walked a few steps, stopped a few steps, and looked back at the people on the shore from time to time.

Walking on the ice is like a year, and the time passes by minute by second, and the ice does not change at all.

It was not until they reached the other side safely that the captives believed that they would not be killed again.

"Cross the river, cross the river!"

This time, it was the captives themselves who were shouting, and the dozens of companions who had crossed the river safely became a guarantee of life in their eyes.

Soon, more than two thousand captives poured onto the ice, nervous and afraid, but soon, they began to get excited. Because they found that there were no traps on the ice.

Half a pillar of incense, the captives finally all crossed the river. Under the supervision of Jiang Wanli and Qi Sanbao's troops on the other side, they entered the barracks where they used to live in the town in batches.

Shi Dayong crossed the river after the most reluctance, and walked slowly on the ice with Guo Yi and more than a dozen personal soldiers.

The ice is too slippery to run the horse, so you can only walk forward slowly, otherwise, you will definitely stumble and fall off the horse.

The ice here is more than a mile away from the collapsing ice, so there is no need to worry about the danger of collapse.

Guo Yi was about to ask the general what to eat in the town, but he saw the general suddenly restrain his mount, and then stared at the ice under his feet motionlessly.

Guo Yi was strange, and walked over with a torch to see what the general was looking at. This look made him almost cry out.

Under the reflection of the firelight, under the ice, one corpse after another clung to the ice. At a glance, it is dense, and you can't see the end.

Shi Dayong looked at these lives killed by himself speechlessly, he silently dismounted, squatted down and looked down fixedly.

In his sight, a corpse floating on its back close to the ice beneath his feet suddenly moved, and then flipped around.

When the corpse flipped over, Shi Dayong let out an "ah", and the whole person stepped back and sat on the ice. Breathing instantly became extremely rapid.

He saw the corpse's eyes suddenly open, and he looked at himself with great resentment.

"General, what's wrong?" Guo Yi and a group of personal soldiers rushed over together, Guo Yi helped Shi Dayong up, looked under the ice at a loss, but couldn't see anything.

Shi Dayong let go of Guo Yi, fixed his mind, and looked under the ice again, but this time he couldn't see anything, under the ice, it was dark and there was only a vague shadow, and other than that, he couldn't see anything.

Seeing that the general's face was wrong, Guo Yi asked uneasily: "General, what's wrong?" ”

Shi Dayong didn't speak, half a sound, Fang shook his head, and ordered to the group of soldiers: "It's okay, let's get on the horse and cross the river." ”

All the pro-soldiers are strange, and they don't know what happened to Lu Dao to make the general lose his temper so much. Guo Yi was also suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he took Shi Dayong's horse, helped him get on the horse, and then led his subordinates to follow him across the river.

At his feet, one corpse after another was slowly drifting with the water in an unknown direction downstream.
