1079 Killing
When Meng Zhi and the others retreated to the low-lying lodging of the reed pond, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves immediately sounded around them, completely extinguishing their last bit of hope.
Koto is already short of horses, and it is not good to have so many horses and gallop in the wild. When we find such a group of traders who are almost powerless to protect themselves, you can also imagine how they will react.
Soon the sound of horses' hooves reached the approach, and the dead reeds around them were pushed away, revealing hundreds of knights wrapped in leather armor and fur hoods. Those knights carried bows and swords, one by one full of fierce spirit, and when they saw Meng Zhi and the others who were gathered together trembling, they suddenly let out a rattling cry in their mouths, and then with a roar, they had already drawn their bows and shot towards the team.
"Fight! Fight with them! ”
A person beside Meng Zhi saw his companions fall to the ground one after another, roared on the ground, brandished a bamboo cane and flipped out from behind the car, and roared and rushed to the opposite side.
However, without spinning his heels, several feather arrows shot directly through the air, hitting the man's body one after another, and the great force on the feather arrows enveloped the man's body and threw it backwards, directly knocking down Meng Zhi's head that was too late to stop and squatting again!
The hot blood poured on Meng Zhi's face suddenly, and he realized that he and the others were no match for those bandits at all, and when he thought that all hope would leave him, his heart was even more painful, and his thoughts were almost blank.
"Fall down, fall down quickly...... Ask the kings to spare the lives of the untouchables......"
In just a few moments, Meng Zhi was so nervous that his tone was hoarse and almost silent, whimpering and reminding his companions not to resist in vain, seeing that the goods were no longer guaranteed, the most important thing was to hope that these bandits would only rob the goods and not hurt people's lives.
Soon there was no one standing in the hundreds of the entire group, and more than half of them fell to the ground, with some arrows soaked in blood and wet. Even the cows and horses were unharmed, and one of them was lying on Meng Zhi's side, and an arrow was stuck in the cow's eye.
Although the cow was already exhausted, its body was still twitching instinctively, just like the many beautiful pictures that Meng Zhi had imagined in his mind in the past few days, it was fragmented and could no longer be pieced together. The blood foam that spewed out of the cow's mouth weakly sprinkled on Meng Zhi's face, and he was so sad for a while that he cried out while holding the still warm cow's neck!
Seeing that there was no one standing in the field, some of the bandits dismounted and crossed the frame of the car, rummaging through the survivors in the mess of corpses, occasionally hearing a groan, and a knife in the backhand, the action was clean and neat, which showed that it was not a first offense.
"The king spares his life, the king spares his life...... The small and small people dare not stop it, the small and small people are a lacquer craftsman, and they are willing to serve the king, begging and begging the king to spare his life......"
A member of the caravan crouched on the ground, begging for mercy in fear.
Hearing his shout, the bandits who were still killing the survivors stopped their pace of killing, looked at a man with a covered face on the war horse outside the battle array, and saw that the man bowed slightly, and one of the bandits brandished his sword and shouted: "Who else has the skills of the survivors, get out of the circle by yourself." If it is verified that the false report is false, he will be circumcised and killed immediately! ”
Hearing this, Meng Zhi also let go of the cow corpse that was gradually getting cold, wiped away the blood and tears on his face, crawled over the corpse of his companion who was still alive before, and did not dare to look up at the faces of those bandits outside the defense line where the ox cart and goods were piled up.
Suddenly, another scream rang out, and the heartstrings of the dozen or so survivors who had crawled out of the battle circle trembled, and when they looked up, they saw a companion who was crawling being cut down by the bandits, and his body was in a different place.
"That's the groom......"
Meng Zhi couldn't help but let out a low roar, if it weren't for this groom taking care of them along the way, the cattle and horses in their team might not be able to survive the cold trek, although it was meaningless now.
When one of the robbers heard this, the tip of the knife suddenly turned and pointed at it, and the survivors around him hurriedly covered Meng Zhi's mouth and kowtowed and begged for his life. They also saw why the groom had died, but he had been wounded by a stray arrow in the shoulder. These bandits are dehumanizing and have no patience to treat the wounded.
"Get on the car, evacuate quickly!"
After more than half an hour, there were no living people in the field, except for a dozen survivors such as Meng Zhi and a group of bandits. Hundreds of corpses were stacked on top of each other, and Meng Zhi and the others were driven by swords to carry their goods back to the car, and then quickly left the reed pond under the coercion of the bandits.
On the way, Meng Zhi saw that a horse belonging to him was also used to pull the cart, and the horse was carefully cared for by him as a child along the way, and he had a lot of beautiful imaginations for the future, but at this time, he dragged the heavy wagon with difficulty, and was whipped when his steps slowed slightly.
The crisp whip sound seemed to hit Meng Zhi's heart one by one, making him tremble and make him swallow and cry.
The bandits acted in a very orderly manner, and after leaving the reed pond, they rushed straight to Maoshan in the distance, stopping occasionally on the way, digging a pit and piling up some of the goods in the field, and as the goods lost weight, the procession moved faster and faster. After nightfall, they traveled for more than an hour before they arrived at the humble dock wall in a valley in Maoshan Mountain.
"Why did you come back so slowly?"
It's the accent of the ling!
When Meng Zhi heard this, his numb heartstrings fluttered, but he also understood that this discovery really didn't mean much to him.
"Search ......"
One of the bandits in the team opened his mouth to answer, but he was only halfway through his sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud shout: "How come there are still living prisoners?" ”
In the night, several torches swayed, followed by a series of footsteps, and soon the bandits' cavalry parted to the sides, and a middle-aged man wearing armor and holding a sword, slightly similar in age to Meng Zhi, entered in a crowd of people, and not far behind him was the leader of the bandits who followed briskly with a slight hunched waist and a sycophantic posture.
"These captives are unusual, they all have a skill......
The bandit leader bent down to explain, but the middle-aged man frowned, his face was dissatisfied, and Meng Zhi and the others palpitated.
"I have already commanded that you should take goods directly, and not take people captive, and leave no livestock!"
The middle-aged man's tone was cold, but the words he spoke were several times colder than the cold wind: "Kill all!" ”
There was another chaotic sound of strings, and then Meng Zhi and the other survivors were completely overwhelmed by the darkness.
If there were people in the middle of the capital who were here, most of them would be able to recognize that the middle-aged man who ordered the execution of all the captives was Wang Yunzhi of Langya, and not far behind him was Wang Xuanzhi, who had surrendered to Yu Yi earlier.
Seeing that some of his captives were killed by Wang Yun's order, Wang Xuanqi's face also showed a little anger, and there was no lack of complaints: "These captives are not ordinary ant people, they are all skilled craftsmen, if they can choose a place to settle their business, and the output is endless, can't they be better than just goods!" ”
After Wang Yunzhi heard this, he sneered and said, "Then I don't know where Your Excellency plans to place these raw mouths?" Wudi Township Brigade is frequently hunted, can you say that Shen Shiju can be indifferent? At that time, he will send his subordinates to supervise the water and land, and if the stolen goods are obtained, will the old raccoon dog spare your life? ”
"It turns out that what Wang Jun is afraid of is nothing more than Shen Shiju's revenge. In that case, why take the risk of hunting in the countryside? Zunfu is a famous family in the country, is it so embarrassing that he can't even get some money for equipment? ”
Wang Shou sent a part of the ordnance and materials to help Wang Yunzhi arm the villagers, but this part of the equipment was not given in vain, and Wang Yunzhi was required to pay for the goods, after all, the resources that Yu Yi could use at the moment were also very limited, and it was difficult to be extravagant.
However, Wang Yunzhi turned around and proposed to pay for the goods by hunting and hunting Wuzhong merchants and looting goods, and Wang agreed after a little silence.
On the one hand, he can receive more money for goods, and through hunting and robbery, he can also hone his troops more and be familiar with the terrain around Gyeonggi, and more importantly, he has fallen to this point, and the fields are all forced by the Shen family, and now he does not dare to disobey the Shen family, but privately abducting some of the Shen villagers, it can be regarded as a bad breath.
But although he is also surnamed Wang, his background determines the world's difference between his identity and Wang Yunzhi. And Wang Yunzhi is too lonely, and his contempt for him is beyond words, and he does not hide it at all, so after this period of cooperation, Wang Xuanzhi has also accumulated great resentment.
Hearing Wang Shouqi's implicit ridicule, Wang Yunzhi's eyes suddenly became cold, and he felt a little flustered in Wang Shouqi's eyes, and subconsciously wanted to soften, but he couldn't get over his face after all. Moreover, with the Wang family's current situation reduced to the point of looting and seeking wealth, they did not dare to use force him, a henchman of Yu Yi.
"Yu Zhi is sincere and resolute, but there is only one thing that is not beautiful, that is, His Majesty is not powerful, and he will suffer from this for a long time!"
Although Wang Yunzhi chose to cooperate with Yu Yi, it did not mean that he had to look at the face of a dog under Yu Yi's command, and snorted coldly: "I might as well explain to you a little, lest you be greedy and corrupt again." ”
"Now that is under the control of Taichung, the Wu people are no longer easy to come and go, especially if these cold business travelers want to make a living, they must choose to travel in a hidden wilderness. I hunted in the suburbs, in addition to taking a little money, but also to make Wu Zhongqun's feelings throbbing, so that Shen Shiju could not live in peace, and it was necessary to dispatch troops to guard along the way to prevent evil things. Moreover, his people will inevitably force Taichung and make the guards stationed outside the country. ”
When Wang Xuanqi heard this, his eyes flashed suddenly, if it wasn't for Wang Yunzhi talking about this section, he really thought it was just a simple robbery.
But seeing Wang Yunyi's appearance of being high and wise, Wang Suqi also felt a little awkward, and sneered: "Now that the situation is tense, Wang Jun's training subordinates will inevitably not be able to hide from the Shen family's supervision." In such a situation, how could Shen Shiju disperse his troops and dilute his military strength and put himself in danger? Moreover, even if he dispersed his troops, he would probably have to retreat outside the country to avoid danger. I'm not criticizing the king's plans, but I'm just warning against self-defeating. ”
When Wang Yunzhi heard this, he glanced at Wang Shouqi casually, and said indifferently: "Shen Shiju will definitely protect the villagers, this is the difference between a family and a family. General Wang may be able to show his bravery, but he is shallow after all. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Yunzhi paused for a moment before he said: "Although I am not from the same clan as the general, I am also known as a family. ”
In just a few words, he first ridiculed Wang Suqi for his humble background, and then ridiculed him for forcibly taking wrong points and falling into this step. After listening to this, Wang Shouqi felt ashamed in his heart.
It's not that he has no words to refute Wang Yunzhi, for example, the Langya Wang family was prominent in his early years, and he was even the benefactor of the Shen family, but he was suppressed by this old department to this down-and-out appearance, and even Wang Yunzhi's father Wang Shu was forced to death by the Shen family, why didn't he see him so wise at that time?
However, he still pressed it down, because Yu Yi's plan in the future really needs Wang Yunzhi's help, and once they are too embarrassed by each other and do not cooperate well, he will inevitably be guilty. At this level, what matters whether he is a lackey decent or not.
