The big man is on the run

Chapter 47

On the south bank of the Weishui River, north of Zheng County.

Before dawn, the village was burning in the sky, and black smoke rose into the sky.

The villagers in the village are already desperate, they can only run away desperately, but the cavalry under Guo Si's command does not intend to let them go, the cavalry wielding long knives and spears frantically hunted down the villagers, and from time to time some people fell down. Down.

The helpless villagers were driven intentionally or unintentionally by Guo Bang's cavalry, and gathered towards the well under the old locust tree in the village.

Some villagers who were too old to move were injured and trampled to death by horseshoes, and an old man lay on the side of the road wailing with his white half of his leg bones exposed.

Some children were kicked away by the horses, or directly smashed through the wall and fell to the ground.

Some women were thrown on the side of the road with their legs cut off, and their blood flowed to the side of the road.

The villagers cried and shouted endlessly.

A burst of miserable cries kept echoing in the village, and the villagers kept running, crying, and begging for mercy.

"Master Jun, please let us go. We know we are wrong. We are willing to exchange all our property for a way out."

"Please, please spare us."

"Don't kill me, don't."

There was constant wailing in the village, and a group of villagers were terrified to avoid the beheading of the sword. They kept running, praying, and begging for mercy, but it still didn't work. Their pleadings didn't bring any mercy.

"kill!"

Guo Bang, the leader of the team, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, exposing Senhan's teeth.

His ring knife slashed at a woman who was running away, and the woman immediately fell into a pool of blood, which stained her clothes red.

A strong stench spread, and some timid people who were afraid of death were already paralyzed in fright, their faces were full of fear and despair.

"Run away! Get out!"

"Son, run away! Leave us alone!"

Seeing their loved ones lying in a pool of blood, those who still had the strength to wake up all of a sudden and ran away into the distance recklessly.

It's a pity that before they ran a few steps, the saber slashed across their backs, and heads fell to the ground one after another, blood sprayed out, and gorgeous flowers bloomed.

After a while, pieces of corpses were lying on the ground, and those people's eyes were wide open, as if they still had a hint of unwillingness.

The sound of shouting and killing resounded through the sky, countless cavalry raged in the village, and there were cries and cries everywhere.

These cavalry were not content with that.

As the escape distance increases, the killing efficiency of sabers and spears has begun to decrease.

Not only did they drive their horses to chase other people in the village, they also began to shoot and kill the villagers from a distance with the bows and arrows in their hands. On horseback, they looked down on the entire village like gods.

In this chaos, the remaining villagers were driven towards the locust tree in the center of the village, and the village was full of corpses and eyes full of blood.

Some survived by luck, but they just groaned in pain, they had no chance to resist, their bodies were full of arrows, blood stained their clothes red.

Countless tragedies happened, and everything showed that they were powerless to resist, no matter if they were men, women, old or young, whether they were strong or weak.

They were running for their lives, howling, they didn't know what they were going to face, but some people clearly remembered the appearance of that person.

Not far away, a general wearing heavy armor and holding a big gun watched all this happen coldly.

Guo Si on horseback is so indifferent, it seems that this kind of situation is commonplace.

"General, all the young and strong men who can run have been driven here."

A soldier came to Guo Bang's side, knelt on one knee and cupped his fists and said.

Guo Si nodded slightly and remained silent.

After a while, he said: "These selected people are most suitable for filling trenches, and they are strung together with rope."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen soldiers came up and tied up young and strong men one after another with ropes. Their faces were full of horror and despair, and they even forgot to struggle.

In less than a few minutes, the hands of dozens of people have been tied up and strung together with a long rope.

For Guo Bang, this cruel killing, which was tantamount to a disaster for innocent villagers, was just a screening.

Those who can survive, go to fill the trench.

Those who cannot survive will die now.

This is the logic of Guo Bang, a horse thief who survived tenaciously in the Xiliang desert, simple and brutal.

"Don't kill me! Please! Don't kill me! Please!"

A young man knelt down on the ground, his lips trembling slightly, and he kowtowed unceasingly, his face was pale, full of fear and fear.

"Tell me a joke."

Guo Si pulled out a kind smile and said, "I won't kill you."

"Thank you General, thank you General!"

The man kowtowed like garlic, his forehead was covered with blood and dust.

Just as he bowed his head, the tip of the big gun in Guo Si's hand slammed down on the young man's head, and the man's head was cut off immediately.

"Che Qi, I have a question."

"Let's talk." Guo Si turned his horse's head.

"There are so many people in Zheng County who voluntarily migrated with the army, why don't you arrest them?"

"You think Zhu Jun is as stupid as you?"

Guo Bang scolded impatiently, he is very simple, but it does not mean he is stupid, especially in the field of war.

"The south and east of Zhengxian County are the Shaohua Mountains. We crossed the Jing Bridge from the north. When we arrived in Zhengxian County, the people accompanying the army had been evacuated long ago! There will be no civilians who will fill the trench with soil. You go to fill it?"

The lieutenant suddenly realized, Guo Si ordered.

"As soon as dawn, all the nearby villages will be slaughtered, and the strong men will come to join the army."

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then the internal response I contacted?"

"What do they have to do with me? I don't expect anything to happen. It would be nice to add some confusion to Zhu Junneng and disturb the hearts of all the ministries."

"No." The lieutenant looked at Guo Bang anxiously, "Cheqi is mainly gold."

"Idiot! If you break the city, you will spit out everything you eat!"

Guo Si didn't want to talk to the lieutenant anymore, so he whipped the idiot and rode away.

The lieutenant didn't take it seriously while covering the burning scar on his face. If he wasn't stupid, how could he bring out Guo Bang's simple and cleverness?How could he get to where he is today?

Now that Guo Si has said it all, the lieutenant general has no more words, just follow through, and he will not be responsible for what happened in the end.

The Xiliang cavalry drove the stumbling young men away, and after a long time, there was a sound in the ancestral hall.

A few half-grown teenagers came out of the dark room where the grain was stored with dusty heads.

"Don't cry! Maybe they haven't gone far!"

The leading boy put his hand into his companion's mouth. The companion's face was full of tears, and his hand soon oozes blood.

Looking at the village that had been turned into ruins overnight, several teenagers squatted on the ground and sobbed silently, their shoulders shrugged one after another.

"Guo Si, I swear to kill you!"

　Fight tomorrow!
