Chapter 365: Grace will take revenge
Having lost most of the fresh water, Tian Bule ordered the fleet to march towards Yizhou.
At noon, the fleet saw a huge black dot in the distance, and everyone was excited.
Peng Yue immediately ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed, and Yizhou finally got closer and closer. Tian Bule had an inexplicable feeling of excitement in his heart.
It took another hour, and Tian Bule, who was standing on the high platform, could already see the coast clearly. The coast is a lush dense forest, and the entire large island is shrouded in a white mist, which is a bit more fairyland. A river flows right from the coast into the sea, where it forms a natural harbor.
By this time they had been spotted on the coast, and it seemed to be two women and four men. The two women waved their hands vigorously in the direction of the fleet. The shocking scene was that the man behind the two women actually raised a big knife, cut the two women to the ground, and then ran away from the coast.
Tian Bule was surprised when he saw it, and those men seemed to be afraid that they would find something.
Arriving at the coast, Peng Yue ordered the fleet to stop in the harbor. After Tian Bule got off the boat, he led everyone to the place where the two women died. The two women on the ground looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and they could vaguely see a bit of posture, but their clothes were ragged, and there were more than a dozen whip marks on their bodies, and they really couldn't imagine that those men would do such a poisonous thing.
Xu Fu took the "Yellow Classic" and whispered something to them.
Hua Xie Yu lamented: "We're late. ”
Cangyue was very sympathetic to the two women, and said hatefully: "Why are these men so vicious? ”
Everyone looked at Tian Bule, waiting for his decision.
Tian Bule pondered for a moment and said, "Order some people to stay on the boat to prevent a sneak attack." The rest of the people all disembarked and went into the mountains and forests to search for the men. ”
Peng Yue persuaded: "King, the identity of those men is unknown, and Yizhou is deserted. If we are trapped here, the consequences are unpredictable. ”
Tian Bule waved his hand and said, "I know this." It's just that you see that these two women are dressed in the costumes of the Central Plains, and we are watching them being killed, how can we not care. We went in and searched, and we didn't find anything before dark, so we left here. ”
Peng Yue had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Peng Yue arranged for a few deputies to lead 2,000 people to stay on the ship, and then all the 8,000 soldiers disembarked from the ship to search. Eight thousand men divided into eight columns, twenty groups at intervals, slowly advanced along the river into the depths of the dense forest.
The dense forest is impermeable, and from time to time you can hear the cries of wild beasts, which makes people feel creepy.
Even though there are so many people, Tian Bule also feels a kind of unease.
Cangyue and Lianhua followed Tian Bule closely, even though Hua Jieyu's martial arts were strong, in such a strange environment, they also felt a trace of fear, and followed closely behind Tian Bule.
After walking for about an hour, Tian Bule felt more and more uncomfortable feeling of being watched. He raised the banner in his hand, ordered everyone to stop, and then gave the order.
After a few moments, all the warriors shouted in unison, "Come out, we have discovered you." ”
There was a commotion in the woods, and seeing that the psychological tactics had achieved their effect, Tian Bule immediately ordered, saying: "All raise their bows, three hundred steps to the southeast, shoot arrows!"
A barrage of orders went down, and a rain of arrows shot towards the dense forest to the southeast.
Just after the rain of arrows, a terrible howl sounded from the forest. Tian Bule said excitedly: "Sure enough, there is an ambush. Watch out for other ambushes and keep going!"
When they walked to the dense forest, they found twenty or thirty dead bodies on the ground. Some of the arrow wounds were not fatal, and it was apparently their companions who gave the men the final fatal blow. The corpses were only tied with a coarse cloth tied to their lower bodies, and they had tattoos on their bodies and faces.
Peng Yue said: "
Tian Bule said loudly: "They withdrew in such a hurry, they should have something to rely on. It seems that they are not far from their old lair. ”
Sure enough, the army marched two more miles, and a small city appeared in front of it. The city is built next to the river, the city is only about three or four miles, and the city wall is more like a courtyard than Linzi. However, the style of the city wall is very similar to that of the Central Plains, which makes people wonder what is going on.
The army lined up a hundred meters outside the city walls, posing as if they were ready to attack at any time.
Sure enough, after a few moments, the gates of the city walls were opened.
A brutal man dressed in a purple robe, with loose hair and a large brass ring on his right ear, walked out. There was also an obscene-looking man in a coarse linen robe beside him, pulling a small cart and walking carefully behind him.
Tian Bule looked at the pair strangely, and ordered someone to bring the two to him.
The two knelt down in front of Tian Bule, and the rough man spoke again.
The lewd man who followed him said, "This general, the servant of my master has inadvertently offended the general, and has specially sent Alida to apologize to the general on his behalf, and ask the general for forgiveness. ”
Tian Bule understood a little, and a soldier stepped forward to open the box on the cart, and immediately stunned everyone. I saw that the box was full of dazzling pearl agate, and this box can be said to be priceless. A box of treasure is enough to cover the military expenses of this expedition.
Tian Bule licked his lips and said, "Okay, I'll take the thing." But I have one condition, that you will offer me four women as beautiful as the two on the shore. ”
The lewd man spoke to Alida, who replied.
Only then did the lewd man reply, "General, please wait. We'll go back right away. ”
After the two left, Tian Bule said to the left and right: "What do you think?"
The crowd shook their heads.
The lewd man obviously had a Central Plains accent, but he obeyed Na Alida.
Tian Bule was also a little confused, so he had to say: "Wait for the four women to come over, let's inquire carefully." ”
After waiting for half an hour, the gates opened again.
Arida and the lewd man walked out with four beautiful women.
This time, Tian Bule only ordered four women to be brought to him. The four women knelt tremblingly in front of Tian Bule. The clothes on these four women are much better, and their posture is much more beautiful than the previous two women.
Tian Bule said softly: "I'm from Qi Country, what happened here, can any of you tell me?"
When the four of them heard Tian Bule's words, they were all silent.
Tian Bule continued: "Don't worry, no one here will harm you. ”
Seeing that there was still no response, Tian Bule couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
At this time, Hua Xie Yu came out and said, "King, let me communicate with them." ”
Hua Jieyu walked up to the four women and talked to them in a low voice.
Finally, a girl suddenly fell to the ground, cried loudly, and said, "Please avenge us, the king." ”
It turned out that this city was built by a group of remnants from the Yue Kingdom. After the Chu State destroyed the Yue State, some of the people of the Yue State fled to the island in order to escape the war, and lived by fishing and farming and weaving.
Until one day, a group of pirates was found by a fisherman here because of a shipwreck, and then rescued them. Unexpectedly, these people took revenge, and even took advantage of the sudden attack in the middle of the night, killing most of the men who resisted here, occupying the city, and the women became slaves for their wanton humiliation
