Chapter 160: A barbarian has come to kill
This abrupt shout made the originally lively and joyful crowd instantly quiet down.
"What do you say? Could you please say it again? ”
One of the people in the crowd stepped forward and questioned the man who had come running to report the news.
I saw that the man's whole face was white, and he trembled his lips and repeated: "Yes, there are barbarians who have been killed!" ”
This time, everyone heard clearly.
The originally lively and festive atmosphere became quiet in an instant. Soon, the crowd exploded again.
"Oh my God, there's a brute coming, what can I do? I heard that the barbarians of the Northern Abyss Country are even more fierce than the Haikou Bandits, and there are a lot of people who come every time, and they burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, what can I do? ”
These people have been here for a few months, and anyone who has been to the town knows a little bit about the barbarians.
I heard that those barbarians have a fierce personality and a large number of people, even if the soldiers are not so easy to resist them, there will be many casualties every time.
Once, they even stepped through the entire Changting County, went all the way east, and went to the state capital.
In the end, it was the commander of the state capital who united the general towns of several surrounding county capitals to drive the barbarians out and calm the situation.
That time, nearly 20,000 barbarians came, burning and looting all the way, leaving a shadow on many people.
These newcomers had not yet seen it with their own eyes, but they were terrified just by hearing the descriptions of others.
Now that they heard that the barbarians were coming, they naturally panicked.
"Otherwise, let's run!" One suggested.
"Run? But where can we go? ”
Those barbarians had crossed the mountains from the west, and they were familiar with the mountains. Naturally, they couldn't run into the mountains and hide like they had done when the pirates came.
But if they don't go to the mountains, where can they go?
The wasteland to the north is definitely not good, there is no place where there is no one to hide.
"Ruru girl, Huaiyan Gongzi, what do you think of this?"
Suddenly, someone asked, Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan, who were standing there without saying a word.
The last time the pirates came ashore, they were the ones who subdued them. Previously, on the way to exile, they also did a lot of things, so that the exile team successfully avoided many dangers.
Now that they heard that a barbarian was coming, they naturally and instinctively pinned their hopes on Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan.
Zhu Ruru frowned slightly, and did not immediately answer this person's words.
She was also thinking about this question just now, how should they deal with these brutes?
"Do you know how many of them came? Where did you see them? ”
Zhu Ruru looked at the man who came to report the news.
The man told Zhu Ruru that he had found them when he was hunting in the mountains.
Originally, he was chasing a wild deer, but he saw something wrong on the opposite hill from a distance, and there seemed to be many black spots.
When I took a closer look, I found that those black spots were all people, dense!
He didn't know exactly how many, but there were definitely a lot of them.
After the panic, the man guessed that those people were likely to be barbarians, and hurriedly went down the mountain to report the news......
"Why don't we run to town? The streets of the town are at least guarded by soldiers, so it should be safer. Someone couldn't wait for Zhu Ruru's answer and proposed.
Zhu Ruru lowered her eyes and thought for a while, but shook her head.
These barbarians from the Beiyuan Kingdom have been here many times, and if she expected it right, the town street of Hai'an Town should be their first stop.
The troops under Cheng Zongzhen may not be able to stop them.
