Chapter 8 Kill them all!
Chapter 8 Kill them all!
At this time, it was already night. Everyone discussed it and sent scouts to explore high. They did not see the firelight in front of them. That is to say, the fleeing army did not show their whereabouts. It was not easy to track in the dark night.
"This is too time-consuming," Chu Nantian said, "I can't see the trace of the enemy in front of me at night. Even if I hit the torch to find it, I'm afraid I will go astray. It's better to have a good rest first and make plans tomorrow."
Su Yong and Xiao Changfeng also agreed. After all, there was a bloody battle by the Styx River today, and then they kept on their way. It can't be said that ordinary soldiers, even if they are physically and mentally exhausted. Moreover, I'm afraid I can't go far because the enemy is so hungry and blind.
What's more, the other party is afraid that he is more tired than them. Maybe he has already rested, maybe in the dark place hundreds of kilometers ahead.
So they sent shifts on all sides, and the rest of the soldiers began to slaughter the redundant old and weak horses, ready to comfort themselves. As for Su Yong, he knew that Tianma didn't like to see his own kind being killed. He had already taken the opportunity to slip out far away until he smelled the smell of barbecue.
The bonfire, barbecue, and a little wine with you have slowly recovered the state of this iron-blooded team.
I was speechless all night until the huge red sun slowly rose from the prairie.
Su Yong walked into the team, gently pulled Zhao Gu's crooked armor, patted Sun Shangwu on the shoulder, and then put on the Tianma and looked at the soldiers who were full of Hu scum: "Brothers, are you ready?"
"Ready!" With the words of the public, the generals all raised their chests high.
"Good! Get on the horse!"
Xiao Changfeng and Chu Nantian also integrated the team and came over at this time: "Brother Su, according to the map, there will be a larger tribe within 400 miles ahead of us!"
Four hundred miles, which is just half a day's journey. Su Yong frowned. Could it be that the army of Yanmeng people had found support last night? He raised his head and asked, "How many people are there?"
"According to the signs on the map, it is about 2,000 people." Most of the tribes on the grassland are not fixed. There are relatively large nomadic tribes only in some places where the water and grass are relatively rich, and the location is also not fixed. Yesterday, it may still be in the east, and the next day may swim to the west, so it is unknown whether the large group of wild geese can find them last night.
Su Yong was relieved. Shit, two thousand people are also a big tribe? There are not tens of thousands of people in the city of Yanlong? According to the barrenness of the small tribe seen before, even if the deserter finds this tribe, I'm afraid it can only fill the stomachs of less than half of the people, right? I'm afraid of his bird!
"Follow their footprints and chase!" The flag was raised, and 30,000 iron armors ran on this infinite blue sky and green grass with the momentum of wind and clouds.
The grass along the way gradually improved. Looking at the direction where the army fled, it was clearly a straight line to the tribe. On the way, the hearts of the three generals are getting heavier and heavier. A tribe of 2,000 people naturally can't afford to support the 50,000 deserters. However, it is not difficult for people to survive for two or three days hungry. They are afraid that their horses will be fed and can always keep a distance from themselves.
Once they arrive in advance to those prairie cities that can supplement their supply, they will be in trouble. According to the map of the earth, there are five fixed grassland cities on the grassland, namely the capital city of Imor, Xicheng Xuemanshi, Dongcheng Luo Rige, Nancheng Titan Castle, and Beicheng Miye Town. The closest to here is the sunset in the East City, which is about 2,000 miles away.
It is a two-and-a-half-day journey. It is said that these grassland cities are composed of well-known large tribes on the grassland. Even outside the city, there are many medium-sized tribes scattered. If the deserter reaches the sunset in advance, it will be a nightmare.
This is also the reason why the Yanmeng deserters have been insisting on forming a team and going this way. If they are scattered halfway, it is easy for those small teams to avoid chasing soldiers, but Yanlong is almost all barren grassland, and only a few small tribes are wandering. I'm afraid they have to starve to death on the grassland before they find one of them. Not all of them have the luck of Su Yong to find sunflowers.
At noon, a cloud-like tent group appeared in front of him. When the army passed by, I saw a group of people in the tribe huddled together, and everyone's faces were full of panic and uneasiness.
Their horses and sheep have been swept away by the deserters last night, and even the pile of hay piled up in the middle of the tribe has been eaten by the hungry horses. At this moment, they are really penniless.
Su Yong looked at them and thought of the scene he saw on TV that the small village after the ancient military disaster, the last handful of rice and the last hen of the people were robbed by the deserters.
But the shepherds in these tribes are obviously more pitiful. They are not worried about whether they can survive this autumn, but... whether they can live in the hands of the Yanlong people at this moment!
This is not the first time that they have been plundered by their own people. Many tribes are used to the passing of the Great Khan's soldiers and horses, and they are bound to take away a lot of things. Take away food, horses and sheep, and even take away your husband. Everything is for the Hongtu in the heart of the Great Khan, and for the dream of the grassland eagle soaring around. They suffer, but at least they can comfort themselves that their husbands and sons contribute to the country!
But what about now? Never had an experience before! Unexpectedly, the Yanlong people invaded the grassland. At this moment, these Yanlong people with beard and black eyes are standing in front of them. Can we still live?
The army surrounded most of these two thousand herdsmen who were women and children. These people's faces showed panic, and many children couldn't help crying in a low voice.
The children cried, the old women trembled, and the few men clenched their fists, but their red eyes did not dare to show too much hostility.
Su Yong walked twice in front of them in silence, and the palms of the soldiers were full of sweat. The general didn't order them to be slaughtered with blood, did he?
Although those red eyes are a little annoying, these are old and young women and children, and the remaining more than 200 men seem to be withered, not the Yanmeng soldier.
They are not afraid of the fierce Yanmeng soldiers, but at this moment, they really feel that they can't do anything.
Just when everyone was thinking about it, Su Yong stopped and asked loudly, "Who can speak Yanlong language here?" This place is still close to the border of Yanlong, with nearly 2,000 people. There should be someone who understands Yanlong's language a little, right?
No one spoke, and there was no sound around.
Su Yong's face was gloomy, and his face was as dark as the dark clouds in the sky. He shouted rudely, "Okay, since none of you can speak Yanlong's language, it's useless to stay... Zhao Gu!"
Zhao Gu answered, "Yes!"
"Kill them all!"
