The Zhaojiabao army marched non-stop every day, rushing at full speed to the junction between Sichuan and Henan, striving to stop Zhang Xianzhong before he actually entered Sichuan.

Zuo Liangyu ordered the Ming army to slowly encircle and drive Zhang Xianzhong's exiled army in a semi-circle posture, and in order to preserve his strength, he did not chase too quickly.

Therefore, the Zhaojiabao escort finally arrived at a small county town not far from the target before Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan.

As long as he rested, he immediately captured the highest point of Zhang Xianzhong's advance.

When Wang Dan entered the customs with the Zhaojiabao army, he also thought that he could see the customs of Ming Dynasty China, and regarded it as a retro tour.

However, the road is full of villages and towns that have been damaged by the war, especially after entering Henan, often passing through the whole no-man's land.

Even some of them were living corpses, looking for food in the rotting corpses and the wilderness, and occasionally looking at their own strange army was only numb and indifferent.

When Wang Dan saw the legendary scene of Yi Zi cooking, he almost ordered all the cannibals to be killed, but he finally escaped because even the parents of the children who were being cooked did not care.

Wang Dan only felt that the heavens and the earth were all blood-red, thousands of miles of red land could run wolves, man-eating evil birds flew all over the sky, and the corpses and bones on the ground had just stepped on, and there were piles of corpses and bones in front of him.

Wang Dan was awakened every night with nightmares, and only the heart of light in his hand could barely let him sleep.

He also wanted to help the hungry people here, but what puzzled Wang Dan was that the Heart of Light had not been activated again, which made Wang Dan's idea of buying food from the Heart of Light unable to come true.

The food of the Zhaojiabao guards must not be divided, otherwise the guards without food will only be another group of hungry people.

During the march, Wang Dan noticed that at some point, some hungry people would always follow behind the Zhaojiabao guards, and no matter how far the march was every day, these hungry people would follow.

It wasn't until Desai Wei came to report to him that Wang Dan knew that the real reason was that the soldiers of Zhaojiabao, who had fixed three meals a day, would spontaneously eat one less meal a day and distribute the saved food to the hungry people who followed behind.

For the behavior of the soldiers, Wang Dan only turned a blind eye. They are all miserable people.

Passing through several cities in Henan, Wang Dan wanted to buy some materials to replenish the reserves of the guards, but as soon as the people saw the arrival of the Ming official army, they immediately closed the city gate, and the residents of the city took knives and sticks on the city wall, like a thief, no matter what Wang Dan said, those cities just don't open the city gates.

Wang Dan had no choice but to leave with the army, and at the same time felt very unbelievable about the bad relationship between the Ming army and the people.

However, the guide sent by Wu Sangui was not surprised by this situation, and took it for granted.

It wasn't until I was about to reach the border of Sichuan that I was fortunate enough to enter this county town that had not closed the city gates. It's just that the residents look at themselves and the guards in strange eyes.

It's not entirely because the guards are wearing completely different armor from the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, when he and the soldiers bought things from them and paid for them, there were more such eyes.

The county officials here have long been gone, and the unmanaged county seat is lived by the residents independently, and the Zhaojiabao guards camped outside the city under the strict orders of Wang Dan and Resarit, and entered the city without committing any crimes. In just a few days, Wang Dan could clearly feel that there was a little more kindness in the eyes of the residents here.

Secretly happy at this change, Wang Dan was ready to visit this Ming Dynasty county again, and in the evening he had to march in a hurry to garrison Zhang Xianzhong's road into Sichuan to meet the long and arduous battle that was coming.

Unexpectedly, in the last quiet time before the outbreak of the war, several old men and civilians ran to their side, crying as they ran, "Lord Qingtian. Spare your life. ”

These men were all old men in their sixties and seventies, their clothes were disheveled, as if they had been torn and beaten by someone, and it was certain that they were all peasants.

Fortunately, Wang Dan only rode slowly. There was no traffic accident, this time the fifteen warriors did not make any overreaction, they have been here for almost a year, and they have also learned about the sophistication of the people here. I know that these old people are here to ask for help.

I saw a few old men kneeling in front of Wang Dan and his party, crying heartbreakingly: "Spare the people of Gao Laozhuang!

From the old people's fearful and desperate cries, Wang Dan learned that they were villagers from a small village called Gao Laozhuang, twenty miles outside the county seat. The village, which was originally living a relatively peaceful life, today broke into a group of hundreds of Ming soldiers. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they shouted loudly to surround the rebels, but in fact they wanted to arrest the villagers as rebels and kill them.

These old men were too old to be charged with rebellion, so they were kicked and beaten by the Ming soldiers and driven out. The villagers cried and begged for mercy could not win the sympathy of the Ming soldiers, and from the cruel laughter and scolding of these Ming soldiers, the old people learned that this group of Ming soldiers was the army of Zuo Liangyu, the largest warlord of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the villagers were driven to the center of the village, the anxious old people suddenly thought that there was another team of Ming troops in the county seat, they were very different from these Ming soldiers, and they might be able to ask for help from these strange Ming soldiers, so they rushed to ask for help.

The old people cried miserably, and the surrounding onlookers also looked sad.

The (uprising) army is coming to kill people, and the Ming army is coming to kill people, when will these people have a peaceful life.

There was an old man who cried and cried and fell to the ground.

James hurriedly dismounted and checked, and after a moment reported to Wang Dan, "My lord, this old man has died of tears. ”

There was a loud uproar around, and the residents were all angry and angry, and at the same time they all showed a worried look, it seemed that the name of Zuo Liangyu (the thief) made them very afraid.

Wang Dan saw the expressions of the surrounding residents, and he understood in his heart why he was refused to enter the city when he passed through the cities of Henan, all because of the scum of the Ming army like Zuo Liangyu.

Recalling the no-man's land and the slaughtered rural towns along the way, although it may not be Zuo Liangyu who let his subordinates do it, his subordinates must have killed good people and risked their skills.

Zuo Liangyu regards human life as a mustard, and he must take care of himself from the civilized world of the 21st century.

Wang Dan gritted his teeth and shouted to the fifteen warriors, "Let's set off for Gao Laozhuang immediately, to have a good look at the legendary killing of good and risky feats." After saying that, under the spontaneous guidance of the residents, they rushed out of the city, and James asked the county residents to take care of a few old people, and also got on the horse and chased after the lord with his companions.

Under the full strength of the dragon elephant war horse, Wang Dan and his entourage only took more than ten minutes to reach the foot of the mountain where Gao Laozhuang was located.

From a distance, I saw hundreds of Ming soldiers appear in this originally quiet mountain village, their steel knives dripping with red blood, and the other hand actually carried a string of human heads.

Wang Dan and the fifteen warriors slowed down in shock. Slowly approaching these soldiers of the Left Army.

These soldiers of the Left Army, who claimed to have come to kill the rebels, actually had many heads of children as young as seven or eight years old among the trophies in their hands.

Niza couldn't help but lose her voice, "If they weren't wearing the armor of this continent, I suspect that the dark cultists of Calradia are collecting sacrifices. ”

The other Knights of Calradia also expressed great indignation, saying that they would resolutely destroy the evil enemy.

The soldiers of the Left Army also discovered Wang Dan's gang, and at first they were frightened by the sudden appearance of the giant horse knights, but when they saw that these people slowed down their horses, they seemed to be afraid of the appearance of the officers and soldiers, so they became bold again. (As they always have)

An officer of the Left Army shouted at Wang Dan and his party, "Who are you who dare to hold weapons, you are not rebellious people. ”

In the past, as soon as ordinary merchants or ordinary people were so frightened by the Ming army, they would have been in chaos for a long time. The sensible dared to send the silver obediently to ask for a favor, and the stupid ones immediately knelt down to explain their identity and innocence.

But today, these sixteen people didn't say anything, wearing strange masks and helmets, and they couldn't even see their faces clearly, and they came silently on horseback.

Looking at the fine armor on the sixteen people of Wang Dan, the horses did not look ordinary, and the soldiers of the left army looked at each other, and then all the people surrounded them.

The officer of the Left Army said in an official tone, "Quickly recruit you from the truth, what is the origin of you, and what is the purpose of this place?" The soldiers of the left army next to him also shouted and joined the ranks of intimidation.

Some soldiers of the Left Army quietly walked behind the sixteen men of Wang Dan. And after looking in the direction where Wang Dan came, and after confirming that no one was behind, the soldiers of the left army all showed strange smiles.

Wang Dan said coldly, "Why do you kill the villagers of Gao Laozhuang, even the young children. ”

The officer of the left army glared. "I'm waiting to kill the traitors, how can there be any villagers." ”

Wang boldly pulled out the king's sword, which shocked everyone in the left army to put on a fighting posture, but Wang Dan pointed the sword at the left army and held a string of human heads in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Are those children also rebels!"

The officer of the Left Army said with a smile, "There are countless child soldiers among the thieves. Although they are young, they are also among the thieves, and they cannot be killed. ”

There is really no evidence that these people who were killed were villagers.

looked at the left soldier Youzi with a smug smile of what you dare to do to me. Wang Dan hated and said, "Don't think about what you have done, go with me to the county seat to confront the survivors of Gao Laozhuang, and the current affairs are not your own public opinion." ”

The officers of the Left Army laughed, and the surrounding Left Army also laughed strangely, and it took a while to stop.

The officer of the left army looked at Wang Dan and his party with some pity, at this time, Daming was still such a superb nerd, I don't know if the steel knife in the left army's hand is Wang Fa.

A soldier of the Left Army smiled evilly, "It's not impossible to confront you, but we must check you first, get off your horse quickly, and see that your vicious appearance must have a lot to do with rebellion." ”

The soldiers of the left army shouted and shouted for Wang Dan and the fifteen warriors to dismount, and one of the soldiers of the left army rushed to touch the dragon elephant war horse that Wang Dan was riding, and said with a smile: "Wow, these horses are all BMWs, they may be the legendary heavenly horses, I want this horse, none of you want to rob me." He roared unscrupulously at the other soldiers of the Left Army, completely ignoring Wang Qiang, the true owner of the dragon elephant war horse.

The eyes of the other Left Army soldiers also turned red, and many Left Army soldiers scrambled to catch the other dragon elephants, and it seemed that they were already impatient to kill and rob things again.

The officers of the Left Army did not join in this tragic battle to snatch the strange horses, because he knew that his men would not be able to keep these horses, and the generals at the head would not let go of such horses, but they did not know where these sixteen people got the horses.

Thinking that Wang Dan and these people might have other BMWs, he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates, "Slow down, arrest them first and torture the whereabouts of the other thieves." ”

The soldiers of the left army reacted and shouted in unison, "Okay, according to the old rules-ah!" Several miserable screams rang out in unison, and the soldiers of the left army who wanted to snatch the horse were knocked up by the back kick of the dragon elephant war horse's natural reaction, and flew until they were far away before falling to the ground and turning around a few times before they stopped moving, and they were no longer alive.

The soldiers of the Left Army were horrified and scattered one after another, and the officers of the Left Army shouted angrily: "Bold, do you want to kill the officers and soldiers and rebel! Why don't you quickly dismount and be bound, and make it clear in front of Zuo Shuai that Zuo Shuai will not wronged good people." The officer of the Left Army waved his arms and shouted loudly, and the head in his hand kept shaking with his righteous and stern shouting, and the blood that had not yet been shed splashed into the officer's mouth, and the officer of the Left Army hurriedly spat on it, as if this would clean his mouth.

The soldiers of the left army were very afraid of getting dirty, because they loved to be clean and wanted to vomit, they threw the heads strung in their hands far away in the open space on the side, anyway, they were not afraid that the severed heads would run away.

After spitting out his saliva, the officer of the left army hatefully threw the human head string in his hand on the ground and kicked it aside, and complained very aggrievedly, "What are these little soldiers doing, and the blood is not cleaned." ”

However, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't deceived Wang Dan and his gang off the horse, so he put on a gentle attitude, and wanted to tell Wang Dan and the fifteen warriors how Zuo Shuai was fair and wise, but he saw a giant sword coming straight towards him.

The sword was wide and sharp, and the officers of the left army only felt that the left and right eyes could see the world from different angles, and then died unwillingly with a frightened and confused mind. (To be continued......)
