Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 43 Tax Officer

"Finally out of the mountains, hahaha."

"It's really not easy, look at my military uniform has turned into strips."

On the edge of the jungle, a large number of ragged Xing Tujun soldiers shouted and ran out of the forest. In front of their eyes, there was an endless low hilly area.

At the beginning of May, after a difficult trek, Xing Tujun walked out of the Yunshan Mountains and entered the Luoshan Province of the dynasty.

Back then when Haotian led the Dynasty Army into Yunshan Mountain, Xing Tujun was facing life and death, and the strength of his army was reduced to more than a thousand. Now that they have walked out of the mountain, they have become stronger and stronger again.

"Wang Chaojun, I, Lin Chuan, are back again." Looking at the great rivers and mountains, Lin Chuan frowned and muttered to himself.

Many mountain warriors have never stepped out of the mountains. Seeing the endless low hills at this moment, they immediately cheered and were extremely happy.

Being able to walk out of the mountain smoothly, smiles appeared on the tired faces of Lin Nuoyan and other senior officers. Outside the mountain, there are more people and more food and grass. These are the basis for the survival of Xing Tujun.

A soldier from Xingtu walked up to Lin Chuan and gave a military salute and said, "My lord, Commander Lin ordered you to quickly send out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation."

"I see." Lin Chuan returned a military salute.

Because of the existence of military discipline troops, although the entire Xingtu army was dressed in rags and looked like beggars, the strict military discipline still allowed them to get rid of their lazy atmosphere. At this moment, the Xingtu army had already transformed into a regular army.

Soon Lin Chuan set off with the scout centurion himself.

After walking along the deserted road for less than two hours, Lin Chuan and the others came across a small village.

"My lord, there are about dozens of Dynasty soldiers inside, they seem to be members of the Luoshan provincial garrison." Soon, the scout who was the vanguard sent back a message.

These fifty dynasty guards were all assisting the tax officials to collect taxes, and they were scattered around the village at the moment.

In order to feed a huge army and a large number of nobles, the dynasty paid a lot of taxes. According to the past, the common people could barely make up for it as long as they tightened their belts. However, after two years of severe drought, they experienced another cold winter. The civilians have long run out of food, so where is the surplus food to pay taxes.

"Listen to me, untouchables! If you fail to pay today, I will throw you all into prison." The fat tax official threatened fiercely.

"My lord, please delay us for two days, we really can't deliver it now." The white-haired village elder begged.

The officer with a face full of flesh kicked the village elder to the ground, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and said with a grim face: "Hmph, I think you are the old man who is instigating them to resist the dynasty. Let me kill you first." about you."

As the officer said, the long sword in his hand pierced the village elder's heart. The old village elder struggled, and he lost his breath for a while.

"The village elder!"

"The village elder!"

Seeing the respected village elder stabbed to death, more than a hundred villagers showed grief and shouted, but they were surrounded by dynasty soldiers holding long swords.

The fat tax collector stood up, "Untouchables, listen to me, if you don't pay taxes, he will be your fate."

"I'll fight for you!" A young villager couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his fist to break away from the imperial soldiers, and rushed towards the tax official angrily.

"Hmph!" The Dynasty officer snorted coldly, and slashed down with the long sword in his hand. The young man's entire arm was cut off immediately, and he fell to the ground screaming.

Hundreds of villagers were furious at the moment, each with an angry look on their faces, pushing and shoving the soldiers of the dynasty who were holding swords.

"Are you trying to rebel?!" The Dynasty officer shouted sharply.

"You don't give us a way to survive, you rebelled!" Several young men threw the dynasty soldiers in front of them to the ground, grabbed the long sword, and stabbed it fiercely, blood gushed out immediately.

Unexpectedly, these cowardly civilians would really dare to rebel. The fat tax official turned pale with fright, and hurriedly shouted: "Kill them, kill them all."

Dozens of wolves and tigers of the Dynasty soldiers raised their long swords and killed them. Facing the heavily armed Dynasty guards, these unarmed civilians were no match for them, and their screams continued to rise and fall.

"My lord, they are massacring the villagers!" The scout ran back angrily and reported to Lin Chuan.

"These bastards!" Lin Chuan cursed, "Get in!" Lin Chuan waved his hand and rushed towards the village with more than 100 scout soldiers.

The two dynasty soldiers guarding the entrance of the village saw a large number of people dressed in black approaching aggressively, their expressions changed wildly, and they turned around and fled.

But at this moment, the scout soldiers were enraged, and soon the two dynasty guards fell in a pool of blood.

The soldiers of the Dynasty had a ferocious face, killing unarmed civilians wantonly, even babies in their infancy. At this moment, the open space was already a mess, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

"Kill them all!" Seeing such a tragic situation, Lin Chuan was so angry that he roared and rushed forward.

These dynasty soldiers are the provincial garrison, and the weapons allotted to them by the dynasty are two-handed broadswords. Facing the sharp swords at this moment, they are cut down continuously. , suddenly became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Oh, my god!" Seeing the sudden appearance of Xingtu soldiers, the obese tax official was terrified, and was about to run away with the help of his servants.

However, the tax officer was obese and had a big target. Ye Fei raised his hand and shot an arrow, and the whizzing spike shot into his back, splashing a lot of flesh and blood, and he fell to the ground.

The officers of the Dynasty were very brave. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately became fierce, hacked and wounded several scout soldiers one after another, and ran towards the entrance of the village to escape.

"Where are you running!" Lin Chuan chased after him holding his saber.

At this moment, the blood in Lin Chuan's chest was boiling like magma, and his eyes were red with anger, so he naturally didn't want to let this enemy officer go.

Seeing Lin Chuan chasing him alone, a violent look flashed in the eyes of the Dynasty officer, he turned around and stabbed Lin Chuan with his broad sword in hand.

Lin Chuan has experienced many battles, how can he, a small garrison officer, be able to sneak attack, he blocked the open sword with his sword, and slammed into the enemy fiercely with his unabated body.

The officer of the Dynasty was knocked to the ground by Lin Chuan and fell far away, his face showed pain and was dripping with blood.At the moment of the huge impact, Lin Chuan's iron fist had already swung to his face.

"Kill!" Lin Chuan roared angrily, and went up to kill.

"Pfft!" A huge head flew out.

When Lin Chuan returned to the village, the small open space had turned into a Shura hell, covered with stumps and broken arms, and all the soldiers of the dynasty fell into a pool of blood.

"How many villagers are still alive?" Lin Chuan asked.

Ye Fei pointed to the villagers huddled in the corner and replied: "Only five people are still alive. These dynasty beasts didn't even spare the newborn babies." Ye Fei, who has always been calm, also had a hint of anger in his tone.

"Ouch!" At this moment, the fat tax officer who was stunned woke up and groaned.

Hearing the sound, two wolf-like scouts rushed over, preparing to chop off his head.

"Don't kill me, I know where our city lord's treasure is hidden." The tax official was frightened and begged for mercy when he saw the bright saber.

Lin Chuan frowned and waved: "Bring it here!"
