Chapter 0122: Out of Control
After the village was broken, no one could stop Zhou Qingfeng's men from looting Liuhe Village.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's expectations, occupying Liuhe Village should be a rest point on his way to escape, so he can add some food and drink. But things turned out more than he expected.
The heroes of this world are really not to be underestimated. Chu Ying rushed here to block Zhou Qingfeng with an inevitable idea, and Darkhan also chose to stay here and be ready to rescue Abahai at any time. Nurhachi even sent his son Mang Gurtai to be stationed here to control the choke point, in preparation for the later capture of Ehekulun.
Zhou Qingfeng finally took Liuhezhai, but he could only immediately think of evacuating from here. Because no matter who wins, Chu Ying or Mang Gurtai, he can take down his small role by turning his head.
"Jia Gang, go and keep an eye on Chu Ying and Mang Gurtai, if they quickly distinguish the winner and lose, they will report immediately."
"Old man Sun, you lead people to collect horses, and we have to run away next, and only when there are horses can we escape quickly."
"Sun Ren, go find the grain from Liuhe Village. Just bring enough food for two days, and don't be greedy. ”
"Who else, that ......, Cai Zhiwei, you and your apprentice Jin Ge will lead people to prepare to set fire, and when we pack up and leave, we will set fire to this place."
Darkhan and Yang Jian fled, and the Baoyi people in Liuhe Village suddenly lost their morale to continue fighting. Zhou Qingfeng had no idea of letting his subordinates rest, and a series of orders were issued accurately and clearly, that is, to continue to run away quickly. It's just that the next scene is beyond his expectations again - the slave soldiers, who have always been obedient, are out of control.
"You guys come here." Zhou Qingfeng shouted at the slave soldiers who ran in front of him. But these guys deliberately ran away from him, happily chasing the women in the village.
Once the tyrannical desires of the heart are unleashed, the oppressed slave will double the tragic experience he has suffered on the weaker target. When they kept rushing into the stockade, there was nothing that could restrain them, and even Zhou Qingfeng lost control over them.
In the process of breaking through Liuhe Village, the slave soldiers suffered certain casualties and endured great pressure. In order to boost their morale, Zhou Qingfeng also promised to loot after breaking the stockade. Now that the pressure of death is gone, the slave soldiers began to kill mercilessly in Liuhe Village without Zhou Qingfeng's consent to release the tyranny in their hearts.
The clothes in the stockade have surrendered, but even if they kneel and beg for mercy, they can't avoid the slave soldiers who stab their spears just to vent their anger in their hearts.
The messy situation made Zhou Qingfeng at a loss. He rode a puppet goat and waved his saber around, but he couldn't stop the senseless atrocity in front of him. When he wanted to kill a few disobedient slave soldiers and kill chickens and monkeys, Old Man Sun stood up and stopped: "Zhou boy, don't stop them. The Jurchen army is like this, and if they win a battle, they will kill people.
They're killing red-eyed, and if you stop them, they'll fight against you. When they've had enough, they'll stop. You can wait a while, you see I helped you to contain all the horses, there are more than fifty horses, all of them are quite good horses. ”
Old Man Sun took Zhou Qingfeng's hand and persuaded him bitterly. Zhou Qingfeng glared at the slave soldiers he had trained for two months, these people wantonly killed and raped in front of him, and scenes of bloody brutality and shamelessness were staged in front of him.
The whole Liuhe Village cried miserably, and Cai Zhiwei, who was originally in charge of preparing for arson, didn't know how to light the fire, but the out-of-control slave soldiers themselves began to make fires and burn many houses in the village. This out-of-control madness made Cai Zhiwei choke with fright, and hurriedly fled back to Zhou Qingfeng's side to seek safety.
The slave soldiers not only lost control themselves, but even infected the more than 100 miscellaneous slaves that Zhou Qingfeng had carried. They were scurrying around, looting everywhere, and they no longer cared about the orders of Zhou Qingfeng, the boss, as if Zhou Qingfeng did not exist.
The slave girl Sun Ren went to collect food, but was caught by two runaway slave soldiers as women in the stockade. She finally broke free and fled to Zhou Qingfeng, and the slave soldiers, who were already dizzy, chased after her with laughter, without any scruples.
Zhou Qingfeng rode a puppet goat and stopped in front of Sun Ren, and the two slave soldiers also saw him: "Chief master, this woman is what we found." ”
Zhou Qingfeng was furious, waved his saber and scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is our own people." ”
The saber slashed, and the two out-of-control slave soldiers were instantly settled. But more slave soldiers still completely ignored Zhou Qingfeng's existence, they were like locusts doing evil everywhere, at most they subconsciously avoided Zhou Qingfeng and avoided the two corpses in front of him.
It's messed up, it's completely messed up, and the originally good situation has become beyond Zhou Qingfeng's control in the blink of an eye. He originally thought that he had some authority to control this army, but these slave soldiers had blown his cognitive limit at once.
Old Man Sun also pulled Zhou Qingfeng to persuade: "It's all like this, it's all like this, since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have not been separated." This is true even for our officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Their habits are not easy to change, so let them go. ”
What the ancient army was, Zhou Qingfeng didn't know. But at the moment, these slave soldiers who are more bandits than bandits are actually from his subordinates, which is a fact that he cannot accept at all. Seeing that the riot was getting bigger and bigger, he could only turn his head to the slave girl Sun Ren and ask, "Where is the grain?" Have you got the food? ”
Sun Ren was a slave girl, and it was inherently inconvenient to participate in the captivity. She pointed in the direction of the granary of the stockade and said, "I just brought people to move two carts of rice, and the soldiers here rushed over to arrest me. ”
The Jianzhou Department has now begun to follow the example of the Han Chinese in farming, and there is farmland around the village that can produce small amounts of rice. When Zhou Qingfeng heard Youmi, he asked Sun Ren again, "What about those people from our own lineage?" ”
Zhou Qingfeng refers to his core of more than 60 backbones, all of whom can speak Chinese. Most of them were Han slaves, but some were Jurchen and other ethnic groups. Sun Ren pointed in the direction of the gate and shouted, "They shouldn't have come in yet." ”
Zhou Qingfeng personally went to find the most precious group of people in his hands, and found that a small half of the sixty people also participated in the looting, and the remaining more than forty people belonged to the relatively weak body and were not good at robbing these rough jobs, but stayed in place and looked at the smoking stockade and did not dare to move.
Zhou Qingfeng could only organize these people and use his force to open the way and push the cart to the granary to get enough food. Then the cart was turned into an improvised carriage, and more than 40 people were all mounted and ready to leave. As for the other Jurchen subordinates who were still looting out of control in Liuhe Village, he just ordered to light fires in all directions.
"Chief, don't you want to be like that?" Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's grim face, the female slave Sun Ren asked cautiously.
"The reason why I want to bring these people out is to get you out of Ekhkulun. Now that I have passed Liuhe Village, there are more roads to the west, and I don't want these beasts to be my subordinates anymore. ”
If he had time, Zhou Qingfeng would want to kill all those bad demons and erase the stain on his life. "Let's go, what I pursue is 'freezing to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without plundering', just like the army of the Yue family. Let those bastards rob and kill, they don't deserve to be my men. I'll have you all it takes. ”
Zhou Qingfeng was about to leave Liuhe Village with his greatly reduced team, but Jia Gang, who went out to investigate, rushed out in a panic and shouted: "Something is wrong!" ”
Zhou Qingfeng was also startled by these words, and hurriedly asked, "Who won Chu Ying or Mang Gurtai?" ”
"Mang Gurtai won." Jia Gang said.
"Then we'll have to flee west." Zhou Qingfeng is about to command his last descendant to the west.
But Jia Gang stopped him and shouted, "We can't go west." ”
"Why?" Zhou Qingfeng was shocked.
"Mang Gurtai defeated Chu Ying and chased all the way to Ekhkulun to the east."
"Isn't that right, let's go west."
"But as soon as I climbed the hill near Liuhe Village, I saw a team of at least a few hundred people coming from the west. It was only twenty miles from us at most. ”
"What......, from the west?"
This next week, Qingfeng was really a little brainy, he hurriedly rode a puppet goat and climbed the hill near the stockade, and under the guidance of Jia Gang, he took out a bronze telescope and looked west. This bronze telescope is no better than the toy he gave to He Zhuo in the first place, this is a professional telescope he found from a police armored car in the remote island of time and space.
After the transformation of the laws of time and space, this bronze telescope has a large field of view, high magnification, and clear imaging. Zhou Qingfeng used it to quickly catch the dust rising from the winding mountain road to the west - this is a sign of a large number of people and horses in the process of traveling, and it is absolutely impossible to be anything else.
"Oh no, it's at least a thousand people marching at the same time to be so powerful." Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to escape westward, but now he was afraid that he would have to fight head-on with an unfamiliar enemy. He saw a flag held high in the smoke and dust, and it didn't take much identification to tell that it was a white flag.
White flag? Who the fuck would march under a white flag?
Hearing Zhou Qingfeng say that he saw a white flag, Jia Gang hurriedly said: "Jianzhou Eight Banners, this is the banner of the white flag." ”
Positive white flag?
Jia Gang said again: "The owner of the Zhengbai Flag is Huang Taiji, the eighth son of Nurhachi. ”
What?
Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly raised the binoculars again to see if it was real, and after confirming that it was a white flag, he immediately scolded angrily: "I'm your mother, it's okay to have a reckless Gurtai, now even Huang Taiji is here." Why don't you let Nurhachi come and do it himself? Lao Tzu just wants to escape back to the Ming Kingdom, why is it so difficult for Mao? ”
Jia Gang asked strangely: "This white flag was only created in recent years, and its banner owner, Huang Taiji, is only in his twenties, and he has only fought some small battles, which is far less powerful than Chu Ying and Mang Gurtai. Why do you seem to be so afraid of him? ”
Zhou Qingfeng glanced at Jia Gang, and couldn't tell the other party, 'If there is no Huang Taiji, a guy who connects the past and the next, Nurhachi's Dajin will not be able to become a Qing Dynasty'.
It doesn't make sense at the moment, and it is impossible for Zhou Qingfeng to bump into Huang Taiji with his men. He had no choice but to shout to his subordinates: "Turn around, let's go back." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Don't know where to go back? It can't go west anymore anyway. Go to the granary and carry more grain, we're just afraid we'll have to spend some time in the wilderness. ”
After a good escape, he actually provoked so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, Zhou Qingfeng could only lament that he was too unlucky, but he could only quickly avoid it. As for the slave soldiers who are still making trouble in Liuhe Village, close the gate of the village and let them burn them inside.
