Chapter 36: The Slaughter of the Village
In the remote small villages, many villagers are poorly clothed and have yellow faces and thin muscles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Stomp, stomp!"
Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, but ten horsemen galloped forward, breaking the peace of the mountain village.
"Phew!"
The horses all stopped, and the ten cavalrymen stopped in place, with a hint of evil in their eyes.
An old man in the village looked a little cloudy in his eyes.
He looked at the cavalry who broke into the village, and a look of fear flashed on his face, but he still met it with a hard head.
"Dare to ask a few adults, what are the instructions for coming to our village?"
The old man is the most famous person in the village, and the villagers only come here to avoid paying taxes, and naturally there is no village chief here.
It's just that the villagers have a very simple personality, and there are few disputes in ordinary times.
Even if there is a conflict between the villagers, they will seek out the village elders and ask them to help mediate.
In addition to being very poor, it is also a rare thing for a village without the constraints of the law to be able to have such a peaceful life.
The knight at the head couldn't help but have a sneer on the corner of his mouth when he saw the old man coming over.
"Gather all the people in your village!"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Dare to ask this adult, why do you want the little old man to gather the villagers?"
At this time, the old man also had a faint vigilance in his heart.
Some time ago, he also heard that some bandits went to poor mountain villages and killed people everywhere for fun, and their methods were very cruel.
The ten cavalrymen in front of him did not look like officers and soldiers, and their fierce and vicious appearance inevitably aroused suspicion.
"Smack!"
The knight at the head directly waved the horsewhip in his hand and slapped the old man in the face fiercely, knocking him to the ground.
"After the order, you just do it, where is so much nonsense?"
The old man was knocked to the ground, a deep blood mark appeared on his face, and he lay on the ground and wailed.
"You deceive people too much!"
These villagers living in the Sanzhi area, although they are very poor, they are also very strong.
When several young people saw the old man fall to the ground, they were immediately furious and were about to come up and fight with the cavalry.
"Ahem, stop it!"
At this moment, the old man stood up with difficulty and yelled at several young people.
A few young people seem to have a lot of respect for the old man.
When they heard this, they immediately stopped, hesitated slightly, and stepped forward to support the old man.
The leader of the cavalry looked at everything coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
The old man endured the pain and said to a few cavalrymen: "Wait a few adults, and the little old man will go and gather the villagers." ”
"Hurry up, don't waste my time. ”
The old man, supported by several young people, walked slowly towards the village.
It's been a long way.
The old man estimated that the knights could not hear him, so he immediately whispered to the young man beside him, "Hurry up and inform the villagers and let them disperse and flee into the mountains." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, these people are the Black Sand Gang bandits, and they came here this time to prepare to slaughter the village. ”
When several young people heard this, their faces were shocked.
One of them asked in a low voice, "Since you are here to slaughter the village, why don't you just kill it, but instead gather everyone together?"
The old man frowned and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, go and inform everyone to escape." ”
A few young people did not dare to slack off, so they scattered to inform the villagers.
Because of his experience, the young man may not know the sinister intentions of this group of cavalry, but how can the old man not know it?
Although these ten cavalrymen were fully armed, it was not very easy to slaughter more than 100 people in the village.
It must be known that the villagers are far more familiar with the village than this group of cavalry.
Moreover, there is a large mountain near the village, and if they scatter and escape, even these cavalrymen will not be able to do anything.
The most important thing is that the strength of the cavalry lies in the unity of men and horses, and if they get off the horse, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
If they go directly to the slaughterhouse, when the villagers hide in their houses or hide in other places, the cavalry will definitely dismount.
It must be known that there are more than 100 people in the village, and there are many young and strong, and the people are strong.
If the cavalry dismounted and wanted to slaughter the village, when the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, the villagers fought to the death, and this group of cavalry did not die.
However, as long as the villagers are brought together, even if there are only ten knights, the bandits can be swept to pieces.
The old man was well-informed, and soon saw through the vicious thoughts of the cavalry commander.
The cavalry leader looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand, which was holding the weapon, seemed to be more and more forceful.
In fact, he didn't want to come here this time.
Because most of these remote mountain villages are in the middle of poor mountains and bad waters, even if you know the location, it is not easy to come here.
For example, this time, on the way over, the war horses in many places could not gallop, so they had to walk slowly and lead the war horses.
Moreover, with the expansion of the scale of the Black Sand Gang's slaughter of villages, many villages with poor mountains and bad waters have been prepared.
Although the Black Sand Gang bandits are not afraid of these villagers, they will inevitably suffer casualties in the process of slaughtering the village.
Therefore, this cavalry commander came up with such a method.
"Boss, how many lives do you want to leave this time?"
A Black Sand Gang knight came to the cavalry commander and asked in a low voice.
The cavalry commander replied, "Just leave two able-bodied young men, and let them spread the word about the reason for our slaughter." ”
The Black Sand Gang slaughtered the village, although there were elements of anger in it, and the biggest purpose was to persecute Huan Chang.
If Huan Chang gets the news, because of himself, the Black Sand Gang has slaughtered many villages, he will definitely go to the Black Sand Gang to trouble him.
As long as Huan Chang is out of the boundary of Pingyang City, with the strength of the Black Sand Gang, there will be countless means to make Huan Chang die without a place to be buried.
Moreover, the two leaders of the Black Sand Gang have already received the news that the mysterious female chivalrous guest only met Huan Chang Pingshui, and now she has also left the country of Lu.
They may not be able to provoke that female knight, but they will not let go of Huan Chang, the hairy boy who offended the Black Sand Gang twice.
"Huh?"
The cavalry commander was thinking about something, and suddenly saw many villagers, armed with clubs and weapons, fleeing in all directions in a panic.
"Damn, I was tricked!"
The cavalry commander's face turned blue and red, and he roared loudly: "Charge me and kill them all!"
The rest of the knights also came back to their senses, and when they saw that these lowly villagers dared to tease themselves, they were immediately furious.
"Kill!"
The ten men shouted in unison, and then they chased after them.
"Drive!"
The cavalry commanded the fastest horses, staring at the faltering old man, his eyes flashing with coldness.
"Die!"
He chased after him, brandished the weapon in his hand, and was about to cut off the old man's head.
