Chapter 22
The most worthless thing in this troubled era is human life, Zhao Lei has seen a lot of tragedies over the years, and now he has no relatives, and his heart has long been indifferent and ruthless.
He has no ability, and he doesn't want to care about the idle things in front of him, Zhao Lei is like this, watching from afar, waiting for the final result.
Zhao Lei inquired with the black-haired bear before, and now this place is only three or four days away from Pingyang City.
Now it's almost dark, so Zhao Lei is not in a hurry, as it gets dark, the riot will slowly stop.
Everyone is a flat-headed common people, and many people are blindfolded, and they can't see much when it's dark.
But after just a while, Zhao Lei felt a slight vibration on the earth, and then the vibration became bigger and bigger.
Zhao Lei felt that something was wrong, which reminded him that when he was a child, there was a team of cavalry passing by their Zhaojiazhuang, and the movement was the same as this.
I'm afraid this is someone from the government, and it shouldn't be here for long.
Soldiers are like combs, and bandits are like grates.
Zhao Lei hurriedly ran to the mountains, as long as they reached the mountains, the cavalry would be useless, dismounted, relying on the terrain in the mountains and his own martial arts, it should not be a problem to deal with two or three.
But in the face of an organized army, there may be cavalry inside, even if it is a mounted infantry, it is not something that Zhao Lei can deal with.
The army uses the technique of battle formation, no matter how high Zhao Lei's martial arts are, he can only catch the blind, he has no choice but to run quickly.
Although he couldn't figure out why he encountered the army in this wilderness, this kind of thing was not something that Zhao Lei could consider now, he just ran away.
After running out for three or five hundred meters, he would hide behind a big rock, and he saw the sand and dust rolling not far away, the vibration was getting bigger and bigger, and the small stones on the ground were shaking up and down with the frequency.
Along with the smoke and dust appeared dozens of tall horses and heavily armed cavalry on them.
The sound was like thunder, as fast as lightning, dozens of cavalry, forming a cone, and the smoke and dust in the sky followed them, forming a great visual impact.
What followed was the rout of the whole crowd, and before the cavalry could charge, the whole crowd scattered and fled like frightened beasts.
Many of those who ran behind were so frightened by the cavalry that their feet and stomachs trembled, and they stood there with their legs not at all, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
And those who did not directly face the cavalry, spread their feet and fled for their lives, many of them were already frightened, and ran forward with the current, leaving their backs to others completely.
Those who run in the back only want to pull the person in front to block the knife for themselves, while those who run in front hurriedly throw out all the things that get in the way on their bodies, they don't want to run the fastest, they just want to run faster than others.
Many people think that as long as they run faster than most people, someone will back them.
In this way, dozens of cavalry easily overwhelmed the black oppressive crowd, and Zhao Lei also saw three cavalrymen chasing hundreds of people and cutting them, but no one resisted.
Everyone is scrambling forward, for fear that the unlucky ghost running behind is himself.
At this time, as long as someone took the lead, one person could drown the three cavalrymen with a mouthful of foam, but unfortunately it didn't.
Some of them really couldn't run, so they simply sat on the ground and waited for death, and some of them stopped when they saw that they were wearing the armor of the court soldiers, and they were lucky.
But their wishful thinking was wrong, and these people did not relent because they gave up their resistance.
With a scimitar in their hands, they don't have to slash hard, it's a light belt.
With the speed of a galloping horse, a fine head flew into the sky, and the blood sprayed completely crushed the terrified people.
At this time they had no way up to heaven and no way to go down to the earth, and there were dead people everywhere.
But more often than not, the homeless people who were injured and did not die immediately fell to the ground and groaned. Recite.
Zhao Lei saw with his own eyes that a woman was cut in half by a cavalry knife, and then did not die immediately, but just hugged her lower body and wailed.
These homeless people are desperate, and they just want to eat a mouthful, but there is no place for them.
The group of cavalry shuttled back and forth through the crowd three times, and after each time, it was as if they had been ploughed with knives, forming a blood-colored blank.
By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and a huge dark cloud had covered the sky, and the whole land was pitch black.
Only the torches held by the cavalry emitted a light of light, and from time to time there was the sound of weeping on the ground.
The cavalry did not kill them all, they drove them all to a low-lying place, singled out the old, weak, sick and sick among them, and after searching them from top to bottom, they drove them out of the crowd.
And among them, the men in the prime of life were pulled out by them one by one, and then used the ropes they carried on their bodies to connect them all in series, these are all their 'captures', and it is up to them to make a fortune.
And the women and children were also separated into a line and strung with ropes.
It is already conceivable what consequences await them, but these people have been killed by the cavalry, and none of them dare to come out to resist.
Although it was already dark, the cavalry still drove them forward in the dark.
Zhao Lei, who was hiding in the distance, was glad that he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have become one of them, maybe it was the one who fell to the ground.
When they were gone, they left a mass of corpses on the ground, many of whom were not dead, but would soon be dead.
Zhao Lei did not take advantage of this to escape, but quietly followed behind this group of cavalry.
He wasn't very familiar with the surroundings of Binh Duong City, but he had only been here two or three times, and it was a long time ago.
Now follow these cavalry and finally have a direction.
Because only Pingyang City can afford this team of heavily armed cavalry, as long as you are careful, there should be no problem.
And there can be an invisible advantage, that is, relying on these dozens of cavalry, at least there will be no blind bandits on the road.
Zhao Lei comforted himself, as long as there are a few more days, he will be able to go to Pingyang County, and everything will be better by then.
Sometimes he can't help but wonder if he has exhausted his luck with the water element trick he obtained, so that he can be so unlucky.
Zhao Lei didn't dare to slack off, he touched the darkness and followed them cautiously along the side of the road.
Fortunately, because the people in front of them were connected together, the speed was not fast, and Zhao Lei could keep up.
It went on and on until midnight, when the whole team stopped.
The cavalry were divided into two small and one large and three groups, one on patrol and one on guard, and the most numerous group dismounted, and made a fire and gathered together to rest and eat.
When Zhao Lei saw them stop, he quickly stopped, and then got into a small dry ditch, and then covered himself with dead grass on both sides.
The team that went out to patrol happened to pass by where he was hiding, and as the sound of horses' hooves approached, Zhao Lei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
With a knife in his hand, he was ready to burst out at any time to kill and flee with his horse.
