Chapter 609: No mercy
Master Hong Wei was present, and immediately retorted: "Ye Gongzi, the poor monk's words are that the butcher's knife is against the butcher's knife. But I didn't say butcher's knife against an unarmed civilian. Don't change concepts. ”
Ma Yuankang supports Liu Ye's point of view, "I agree with Liu Ye's opinion. We are the victims, but we are treating others the way we do. We go and plunder, but we don't kill. ”
Master Hong said, "Can you promise not to kill anyone?" When the Tibetan people rebelled to protect their property, could you promise not to kill anyone? ”
Liu Ye said resolutely: "Long pain is better than short pain, we are already mired in the quagmire of war, no matter who this pit is, someone will jump into it after all." If someone can't be born and kills too much, I'd rather carry it all. One day I fell, and the master didn't recite the mantra to me. ”
The reason why Zhang Yichao also opposes Liu Ye's plan is because he has experienced the tragic scene of being killed, and the scenes of those unarmed people being killed are unbearable, and he has to take action against the people, he can't do it.
Liu Yeli disagreed, "This matter is so decided, I will go with General Ma, we don't have to bring more, five hundred people can go, go and return quickly." ”
Zhang Yichao agreed to Liu Ye's request, and the next day Liu Ye, Jiang Yao, and Ma Yuankang set off early in the morning with 500 people and rushed to Songgan Village.
After the Songgan tribe was heavily damaged, the guards were loose, and the young and middle-aged suffered a lot of losses in the disaster, and the population was reduced by two-thirds.
Liu Ye led people to the tribe, and it was midnight when he quietly touched the tribe. Sentinels patrol around the tribe. Their armor was originally snatched from the Tibetans.
The soldiers who were the first to touch in heard the sentry's command, and talked to them according to the password, and the three of Liu Ye each led a wave of men and horses, sneaking in three directions.
Liu Ye led people to rush into the enemy's camp, and as soon as the sentry's whistle was put to his mouth, the sword in Liu Ye's hand had already fallen. The sentry landed on his head. The soldiers stormed the tent and killed the sleeping enemy.
Ma Yuankang's group of people went to collect livestock, and cattle, sheep and horses were driven out, and these people who grazed and cultivated the fields for the Tubo people on weekdays were familiar with the procedures of grazing livestock. Ma Yuankang and his 100 men drove the livestock first.
Some herders, awakened by the noise, came out of their tents to tend to their livestock. But they saw that there was nothing in the corral. Ride your horse and chase the robbers.
His family's belongings were plundered, and if he didn't get food for the winter, he would be ruined in the future. Instead of starving to death, it is better to desperately defend property.
More and more herdsmen held big knives in their hands and rode horses to chase Ma Yuankang and his party. Willow Leaf commanded loudly; "Set fires, set fire to the tents."
The soldiers snatched the torches set up around the camp tent and threw them onto the camp, the weather was dry, the wind was strong on the grassland, and it was still a late autumn night, and the fire was burning with the help of the wind.
The herdsmen chasing Ma Yuankang in the distance saw the direction of their home, the sky-high fire was ignited, the family was still in the tent, the livestock were gone, and the tent on which they relied to cover themselves was also burned down by the bandits.
Compared with people and livestock, people are still important, and herders ride horses to their homes. The soldiers in the tribe suffered heavy casualties in the monk fear heat battle last time, and many of the soldiers led by Liu Ye were recruits.
Willow raised his sword and slashed at a young soldier, who dropped his weapon, held his head in his hands, and knelt on the ground. Liu Ye raised the sword in his hand, but still killed him mercilessly.
Today you let him go, tomorrow he will take up arms and confront you. The left and right hands are also stained with blood, and he is not worse than him.
Jiang Yao fought the enemy in the other direction. There were also soldiers who laid down their weapons and held their heads. Jiang Yao confiscated his weapons and let him live.
The place where Liu Ye and his men passed was not alive, and it was a mess. Gradually, the two sides converged in one place. Liu Ye raised his sword and fell, and what he harvested was a human life.
A group of soldiers were frightened by the ferocity of the willow leaves, and ran around like headless flies, without the power to fight back. Willow leaves sword one by one, and a group of people fell.
Jiang Yao rushed from the side, and when he saw the willow leaves at this moment, he couldn't believe that the person with the beautiful scenery and the moon no longer existed. At least at this moment, it was the murderous messenger of hell who appeared in front of him.
Willow Leaf's armor and clothes were completely stained red with blood, and even his face was blood-red. The blood of the enemy stained his vision.
Liu Ye rode his horse forward, and saw the oncoming Jiang Yao staring at him motionlessly, and in his blood-red sight, a soldier was about to sneak attack Jiang Yao.
Liu Ye exclaimed, "Jiang Yao." Jiang Yao backhanded his sword and slashed the soldier who wanted to sneak attack him to the ground.
One of the soldiers he had just let go, before he could collect his weapon, he seized the opportunity and pointed the blade of revenge at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao came to the question on his lips, "Liu Ye, are you still you?" He swallowed it back.
Maybe on the battlefield, there is really no right or wrong, except for one thing that is recognized, either you die or I live. To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.
But if there are enemy soldiers who lay down their weapons, Jiang Yao will still let him go, maybe he is someone who really doesn't want to fight. Give him a chance. Jiang Yao said to himself.
Willow Leaf is still killing. Except for children who are less than a horsewhip, as long as the blade is pointed at him, he will not let go.
Liu Ye took his team, as well as the captured enemy horses, weapons, and armor, and retreated all the way, and the sky was not yet bright at this moment.
Jiang Yao didn't ride with Liu Ye for the first time, he led the team in front, and Liu Ye pressed the formation behind. The two fought with their soldiers for nearly a night, and Liu Ye was covered in blood.
Jiang Yao didn't grab his body and check it up and down to see if there were any injuries. He walked directly to the front and didn't say a word to Liu Ye.
Liu Ye knew his philosophy, Jiang Yao couldn't accept it, he was a disciple of Xuanyuan Ji and a Taoist cultivator. It's not easy to accompany yourself here and to the battlefield.
Ma Yuankang walked slowly, and Liu Ye and his party caught up with Ma Yuankang. Ma Yuankang looked at Liu Ye and was startled, "Ye Gongzi, how did you become a blood gourd?" ”
Liu Ye still had a red sight in front of him, and there was no water nearby, "Can you crawl out of the blood pile without blood gourds?" ”
Until the door of the cottage, Jiang Yao didn't come over to say a word to Liu Ye. Zhang Yichao and the soldiers who stayed behind came to the mountain gate to greet Liu Ye and others.
Herds of crushed cattle gather in front of the mountain gates to ensure that they survive the harsh winter. The crowd cheered.
"Ye Gongzi, Ye Gongzi." It is because of Ye Gongzi's strong initiative that there is a bumper harvest of livestock today. And the casualties of the five hundred people brought out were not large.
