Hearing the news, more than 20 officials with knives followed the county order on a tall horse.

In the face of the increasing number of refugees, the hands of the officials who raised their broadswords trembled uncontrollably, and their faces were full of panic.

In the face of many hungry and red-eyed refugees, more than 20 officials did not dare to step forward to stop them for a while.

"Stop, stop!"

The head catcher only dared to hiss loudly from afar, how could there be any majesty on weekdays at this time, but no one on the scene of the refugees was birding him.

"Take down these Diaomin! Those who rob a house and injure people's lives should be beheaded according to the law! ”

Riding on a horse, the county magistrate of Xiaxiang County, Qiucang, threw a loud whistle in the air with a horse whip.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The officials who shouted in unison had the courage to wave their knives and rush towards the refugees together, and the blood of the sword aroused the courage in the hearts of the officials.

Nearly 100 domestic servants organized by large families in the city joined the melee with sticks and enemies.

The refugees, who were killed for a while, fled for their lives in fear with the things they had grabbed, only hating their parents for not giving them two more legs.

Seeing this, the people hiding in Xiaxiang County walked out of their homes one after another and joined the drive.

"Hit out...... Hit out ......"

"Bang Bang Bang...... Bell Bell Bell ......"

……

The shouts and various percussions create a powerful momentum.

Whether it is on the street or the people of Xiaxiang County who are guarding their homes, they are holding back their voices and shouting.

Because they know very well that if these refugees are not driven out, they will ultimately suffer.

The refugees, who were divided into camps, retreated one after another amid thunderous shouts.

Even those who are bold and rude, holding a small number of clubs or hoes, are still frightened and weak in the face of bloody broadswords.

Their own lives are particularly important at this time, and with food that can wrap their stomachs in a short period of time, who is willing to fight with their lives.

The resistance of a few people cannot arouse the majority to follow at all.

The hoes and machetes in their hands also have a certain deterrent effect on the refugees who bully them together.

But when faced with sword-wielding officials and the morale of the whole city, they are no match for them.

…

In Xiaxiang County, where the whole city was dispatched, the surviving refugees were cleared, leaving half of the city in disarray.

Bloodstains, scattered objects, corpses strewn across the streets, and unsightly refugees.

All the shops that were visited by the refugees left a debris in their wakes like locusts crossing the border.

The little two or shopkeepers in the store who didn't have time to escape, and the customers who were hiding were covered in blood and flesh, and they had already died on the spot.

Only familiar people can identify them from their clothes.

There was the female dependent who did not escape, and the body was exposed to the ground with scars, and two of them were Qiao Zhihua's master and servant who threw silk handkerchiefs.

The master and servant of the cardamom years, for that sudden chance encounter, the bruised face was full of horror and despair.

"Ah, Lord Qingtian! You have to call the shots for my young lady! ”

"My son! refugees! ”

"Boss, how can our family live if you leave!"

"Daddy...... I want Daddy! ”

……

The mournful weeping and shouting made the people present indignant and crying, and they hated the refugee to the core.

"Lord Qiu, you can't let those damn refugees go easily.

They have destroyed our homes and killed our loved ones, and they have to pay with their lives. ”

"We want to be refugees and serve in the army for the people of the city.

If you have the courage to rob the common people, why don't you dare to go into battle and kill the enemy, they all deserve to die. ”

"Yes, let them go to military service, and the Fulai Inn is willing to donate ten loads of food."

"Kelai Teahouse is willing to donate a hundred taels of silver to let them serve in the military."

……

The people of the city contributed food and money one after another, and there was only one purpose, that is, to let the refugees go to military service, so that they could go to the battlefield to atone for their sins.

got the Qiu County Order donated by the people of the city, I didn't expect the military service matter to be solved so easily, and I sat on a tall horse and thanked the people at the scene.

"The county order is here to thank the fathers and villagers for their righteousness, since the people's livelihood is wanted, then open the city gate to attract talents with grain and money."

The high-sounding Qiu County Order has won the enthusiastic support of everyone.

"Okay, the prefectural commander said it well, guy!

Let's go with the prefectural magistrate to recruit talents, and go! "One person raised his arms to propose, and countless people followed.

The city gate opened again, and the refugees who had not gone far outside slowly gathered again, but kept a certain distance to observe.

The food and the stable environment in the city were too tempting for them.

Along the way, it is rare to have a place to stay, and at the foot of the mountain, there is also a place to run when the Beimang people attack.

Refugees who have tasted the benefits are deliberately provoked to leave after an initial panic.

…

"Recruit guards for food and silver, recruit guards for food and silver!"

The blood on the face of the official was not wiped clean, and he acted as a shouter again.

"Five liters of grain is a strong man, five liters of grain is a strong man!" Servant B also shouted along.

And the people who followed behind sang with the bold.

"Five liters of grain is a strong man, five liters of grain is a strong man!"

The refugees who heard this did not believe their ears, and they had just cut them with a knife, so how could they recruit strong men with food.

If I knew this, they wouldn't be able to get it directly, and everyone didn't have to run hard.

…

"Degui, do you think you can believe what they say?" Qiu Yougen, who didn't have time to enter the city, whispered to the people around him.

"There's no such thing as pie in the sky, and when they're in, we'll leave here.

Shimoxiang Prefecture is not a good place to settle, and soon more and more refugees will come down from the mountains.

The government can't stop it, and there will be a bloody massacre at that time. ”

Qiu Degui, who was dressed in coarse cloth patches, carried a simple burden on his back.

The carriage he rode when he left the village had killed the horses for meat when he joined the ranks of refugees in Hegu City.

Qiu Degui, who knew a lot about what the government was doing, did not expect that the south would be flooded when he came out, which disrupted his entire plan.

In a hurry, I really didn't think of any good places, so I could only take one step at a time.

Mixed in with a group of refugees, even if you have money, you can't buy much food.

In the north, there are Northern Mang's soldiers pursuing, and the major forces are even more arresting everywhere.

They were able to reach Xiaxiang County with all their beards and tails, relying on unity and his ruthlessness.

Under his leadership, the Qiu family can also run and carry it, and even half of the children and girls carry the food hidden in the baggage.

They followed along the way to rob big families, otherwise how could they have run to Xiaxiang County with a lot of strength.

None of the refugees who can come here are honest.

Such people are abandoned or eaten by their companions as early as the road.

Qiu Degui, who has personally experienced the escape, deeply understands that hungry people are more terrible than those who play tricks.

As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death.

Thousands of hungry refugees besieged together, and even if they had great ability, they could not escape death.
