Chapter 44: The Cannibal Legion

Wan'er stuck out her tongue and said secretly in her heart: "Since the regent saw Xiao Buyu, he has been very different from before.

She really values Lord Xiao very much, and in just a few days, she has already been promoted to the seventh grade. ”

"Humph!"

Li Yingluo saw Wan'er's suddenly enlightened expression, as if she was afraid of being seen through her heart, and snorted coldly: "What does the stinky girl think?"

Yu just wants to treat this guy well. ”

Wan'er knew that the regent never lied, so she couldn't help but silently pray for Xiao Buyu in her heart.

The sudden appearance of rebels in Anyi County did not attract enough attention from Li Yingluo.

She is well versed in the way of soldiers, but she made an empirical mistake.

In her eyes, the rebels were made up of a patchwork of vanguard troops that were defeated by the imperial court, and they were already vulnerable and newly defeated, and they must have been a group of routs whose morale had plummeted.

Moreover, the high barriers in Ping'an County should be enough to resist these stragglers.

Therefore, although she made some deployments accordingly, these forces were not enough, far from enough!

The leader of this gang of anti-thieves, Hu Heiya, was originally the leader of the Gannan Daohu bandits.

Later, he became the vanguard officer of the Gannan rebels, and he had a strong military quality.

Although he was defeated and fled in the battle with Li Xu, he learned the experience of defeat and quickly formed an army again with the help of the original people.

The real core legion of Tiger Black Fang is only 5,000 people.

And he used these 5,000 men and horses to collect rebels and homeless people all the way, and quickly formed a servant army of 20,000 people.

In addition, he also learned the lesson of the last time the rebels and displaced people dispersed, and engulfed no less than 30,000 displaced people to form a huge army.

The army passed by, the elite 5,000 troops killed people and plundered women, the servant legions killed people and robbed food, and the last outcasts ate everything......

It is this army dominated by hunger, where no vegetation grows, and no chickens and dogs are left.

In Xiao Buyu's words: Wherever this legion goes, it is like locusts crossing the border!

At this time, Xiao Buyu of Ping'an County was silent, and he no longer had the heart to return to his rattan chair, he was sitting upright on the chair of the county lord in the lobby, with a straight figure and a solemn expression.

For two days in a row, he kept receiving bad news, which made his whole body numb.

"What are you doing, monster siege?

Alas! It's really money to scan the code balance is empty, and the soldiers are hated less when they are used. ”

Xiao Buyu sighed in his heart, but he definitely couldn't make a sound, because he was now not only the county master, but also the backbone of everyone.

He must show composure and confidence in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

In recent years, the chaos of the Five Kingdoms has gradually subsided, and his mind has mainly focused on economic and demographic development, ignoring the importance of armament.

"No wonder the GDP of the country in the previous life was the second in the world, and it still has to vigorously engage in armaments and constantly build aircraft carriers, which makes sense!"

Xiao Buyu overestimated the deterrent power of the city wall of Ping'an County, and also underestimated the ambition of the people of this world.

At this moment, there was a fast horse with a city gate.

"Report ...... Qi Taizun, the thief rode a horse and threw a human head at the city gate, and after the confirmation of the brothers, it was our scout Feng Biao......"

"Report ...... Qi Qi Taizun, we have received another head, confirmed by the brothers, it is our scout Liu Huaqiang. ”

"Report ...... Qi Yu Taizun...... It was our scout Gao Qiqiang. ”

"Report ...... Qi Yu Taizun...... It's our scouts and shen. ”

……

Seven quick horses in a row returned, all of them were scouts sent by Ping'an County, and they were cut off by the enemy and thrown back, the situation is urgent!

All the officials in the hall turned their eyes to Xiao Buyu, but seeing that he was calm and relaxed, they didn't seem to be worried about it.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they each settled down and stood up, keeping their expressions solemn.

In fact, Xiao Buyu was very anxious at this time, he was worried about one person, his sixth brother Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu is the leader of the scouts of this eight-person group, and he received an order from the second boss Dao Brother a few days ago to spy on the rebels in Anyi County, and there is no news to send him back......

"Let's see if Zhao Hu is back, he, he must not have an accident."

Of the eight people, seven have been lost, indicating that the enemy's army is not far from here, and it is even likely that Ping'an County has been surrounded.

Zhao Hu's trip is probably more auspicious.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a quick horse report, and his heart couldn't help but rise.

"Report ...... Qi Yu Taizun ...... "At this moment, Xiao Buyu's heart has already mentioned his throat.

"Zhao Hu Sima joined the army and came back."

Nima, gasping for breath, can't you say hurry up? You're scared to death!

The big stone in his heart finally fell, and Xiao Buyu was about to speak, when Zhao Hu rushed into the county office with blood.

Thump......

"Big boss, mark down the fifty miles into Anyi County......"

Zhao Hu fell to his knees straight, his voice was dry and scary,

"At last we found out the reality of the enemy's army, and their army numbered 25,000 men.

Among them, 5,000 elite soldiers said: The tooth army ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hu suddenly showed fear on his face.

He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say a word despite all his strength.

It should be overstimulation, due to mental tension, compressing the vocal cords.

Although Xiao Buyu is not a doctor, he still has ordinary medical knowledge, and he commanded without hurrying,

"Come on, bring a bowl of water to Zhao Senjun, just come back, drink the water slowly, don't worry about what you want to say."

Perhaps under the influence of Xiao Buyu's calmness, after drinking three bowls of water in a row, Zhao Hu finally eased up.

"Big boss, those bastards are some kind of special tooth army elites, they are just a bunch of brutes......"

Zhao Hu said as he burst into tears.

An iron-clad man actually shed tears!

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but prick up their ears......

"They said that in order to ensure physical strength and bravery, they actually ...... Eating human flesh! ”

What? Cannibalism!!

Everyone in the county government felt a pang in their hearts, first showing frightened expressions, and then all of them were angry.

In times of war and famine, organized and large-scale cannibalism incidents occasionally occur.

Sometimes, when the food was cut off, some brutal generals would eat people, and the word "meat" came from the barracks.

The thing of cannibalism has always been rejected by all countries, and once it is discovered, it has become the consensus of the five countries.

Therefore, even in the chaos of the Five Kingdoms, once the military rations are exhausted, the generals would rather die in battle than do cannibalism.

Xiao Buyu had seen similar reports from ancient books, but he never expected that he would really encounter such an army.

"Taizun, you can give the order, the brothers will fight with them."

"Yes, Taizun, let's fight! I'd rather die than be a ration for these beasts. ”

"Taizun ......"

"Taizun, we fought with them......"

Xiao Buyu took a deep breath, every time there is a big event, there is calm, and he is still quiet!
