Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 233 Evil
Austin City belongs to the second-tier city of Luoshan Province. It is less than [-] miles away from the border area of ​​Nanchuan Province.

In July [-], the imperial conquest and suppression troops entered Luoshan province. The imperial army carried out bloody pursuit, interception and strangulation of various rebels by relying on the provincial roads. In just half a month, more than tens of thousands of rebels were massacred.

The dynasty's army used [-] provincial garrison flag regiments as the main force for the suppression, equipped with [-] cavalry of the Central Army. During such a drag-net-style suppression, the rebels in Luoshan fled eastward one after another.

With the passage of time, in the face of the frantically fleeing rebels, the provincial garrison banners could not catch up, so these troops from various provinces began to pay attention to remote villages.

Killing good men and taking meritorious deeds is very familiar to these provincial garrison troops. They often do this in their own provinces. The people of Luoshan Province ushered in an unprecedented disaster.

Thirty provincial garrison flag regiments are distributed in the vast area of ​​Luoshan Province. After one flag regiment slaughtered a large amount of money robbed by a remote village, the rest of the flag regiments followed suit, and the heads of the people killed were not bad. Why not exchange it for military exploits?

These provincial garrison flag regiments are vulnerable to the rebels, but they are easy to deal with unarmed people, and they have a surprising variety of tricks.

As the commander-in-chief of the conquest force, Sapphire was unaware of the actions of these provincial garrison troops, because he led the Central Army troops to advance eastward along the provincial highway, and participated in the daily meetings of local nobles and officials along the way. He had no time to take into account the actions of these provincial garrison flag regiments at the reception. The only thing he knew was that his strategy was correct and that good news came frequently, which was enough.

Thirty provincial garrison flag regiments fought all the way east, leaving a dead silence behind them, and the villages they encountered on the way were not spared, and the soldiers were like bandits.

Xue Wuman, deputy commander of the cavalry regiment of the Central Army, led the cavalry troops behind these provincial garrison troops to support the battle. He saw those dead villages along the way, covered with dead bodies in the woods, and he had some doubts, so he sent people to the front. The provincial garrison questioned, and the result was: "It's all done by the rebels!"

In this way, an unprecedented catastrophe befalls the people of Luoshan Province. Countless people were massacred, their villages were burned down, and their finances were robbed.

The garrison flag regiment of Yinshan Province also participated in such an operation. In the past week, they slaughtered and burned [-] villages along the way. rich man.

Desire and greed are endless. Although every soldier has gained a lot, the officers and soldiers are not satisfied. They continue to move forward, continue to slaughter and plunder.

Yinshan Province is located in the north. It is not rich at all. It belongs to a poor and backward area. The garrison flag group of Yinshan Province is also struggling. Now that they have such a chance to make a fortune, they will not stop unless they make a lot of money.

On July [-]th, the garrison flag regiment of Yinshan Province arrived at an unnamed village south of Austin.

"Master Banner, look!" The soldier pointed to the village in the river valley ahead, his eyes glowing.

Zhang Han, head of the Yinshan Defensive Banners, flickered a bit of grimness at the corner of his mouth, looked at this peaceful small village and ordered: "The first banner battalion will attack from the left, the second banner battalion will attack from the right side, and the third banner battalion will attack from the front. "

Zhang Han didn't want to let go of this small village. He was already very proficient at robbing villages and massacring them.

"Remember, be smart and don't leave anything behind." Zhang Han reminded loudly.

"Banner Commander, don't worry about the work of the brothers." An officer with a tattoo on his neck showed his white teeth and raised his voice to answer.

Zhang Han waved his hand: "You bastards, let's go—"

"Huhu——" Following Zhang Han's order, the soldiers of the Yinshan Defense Banner Regiment cheered, divided into three red arrows and rushed towards the small village in the valley.

No one would have imagined that such an unknown and nameless village would become the location of the first battle between the Nanchuan Army and the conquest troops, and that the Yinshan Provincial Defense Banner Regiment would also be wiped out here. More importantly, from this In the unnamed village, a famous general who will shake the continent will come out!

It all starts on this lazy afternoon.

"Grandpa, is the mainland big?" Under the big locust tree in the village, a child less than ten years old raised his head and asked his gray-bearded grandfather.

The old man looked at his grandson lovingly and replied with a smile: "The mainland is so big that I can't finish it in a lifetime..."

"Grandpa, when I grow up, I want to visit all parts of the mainland." The little boy said vowedly.

The grey-bearded old man stroked the child's head with a smile and said, "My grandson will definitely be able to do it." The old man didn't know that his own joke was like a seed that took root in a child's heart and eventually grew into a towering big tree.

"Run, there are soldiers coming!" Suddenly, the villagers shouted in panic from the entrance of the village.

The old man's face changed slightly, he hurriedly brought the little boy into the house, opened the cellar for the little boy to get in, and said: "Son, remember to hide inside and don't come out. Grandpa, go out and have a look."

The little boy nodded obediently, and the old man covered the cellar and walked out.

In such an era, soldiers are like bandits, and it is normal for the elderly. He is already in his 70s, and he is not worried that the soldiers will arrest him.

"Soldiers are killing people!" Suddenly there was a scream from outside, and the old man was shocked when he saw a villager being chopped down to the ground by soldiers in military uniform, and hurried back into the house.

There was a loud bang, and before the old man had time to open the cellar door, the door had already been knocked open by several ferocious soldiers.

"We have no food, go elsewhere." The old man said loudly, hoping to let these soldiers leave.

But what responded to the old man was a sharp sword, and with a puff, the two swords pierced into the old man's chest at the same time.

"Old thing, if there is anything we can find by ourselves, I won't bother you—" the soldier said, kicking the old man, and drew out his sword.

The gray-haired old man rolled down to the cellar entrance, blocking the cellar entrance. The little boy in the cellar watched his grandfather being killed by the soldiers through the gap, trembling with fright, and his eyes filled with tears.

"Don't... come out..." After the old man finished speaking with the last ounce of strength, he lost his breath, and the blood flowed into the cellar along the crack, and the little boy's eyes were already blurred by tears.

Several soldiers rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the house for a long time and found nothing. They knocked all the pots and pans to the ground and ran towards the next house.

At this moment, this nameless village is moaning helplessly under the swords of the soldiers of the Yinshan Defense Banner Regiment. Countless villagers have been killed and countless women have been bullied. The bloody money was stuffed into their pockets, and their swords were dripping with blood.
