Chapter 228: First Move
For Lu Bu, there was nothing more curious about him than what was right now.
"All march!" Lu Bu's voice sounded, and then the 10,000-strong cavalry army led a hurricane that went forward, blowing towards the unusually quiet tribe.
The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, and every soldier is born and died on the battlefield, and the knife head licks the blood I don't know how many times. They have a keen sense of blood, so they can smell the blood, the liquid that flows through the human body, scattered in the air, like a burning bonfire, attracting their eyes in the darkness.
As soon as you step into the tribal range, you can hear the cries of cattle and sheep, and the sound of horses walking on the tribal land. It is precisely because of this that people feel quiet, except for these animals, there is no popularity here, and no one voice appears.
As far as the eye can see, there are many corpses lying horizontally in the open space between the tents and tents in the tribe, some stacked on top of each other, and some are lying alone, the only thing that is the only thing that has lost the traces of their life. These people, with a moment of confusion and surprise on their faces, must have been killed before they could react.
Among them are the elderly, middle-aged, young, women, children. Regardless of whether he was strong and beautiful in life or not, after death, he became a cold corpse, lying quietly on the ground, embracing the solid earth.
Such a scene, perhaps in the eyes of some people, will make them unbearable to witness. However, in the eyes of everyone present, there was no emotional fluctuation, and they did not sympathize, let alone mourn for each other. All the soldiers of Bingzhou understood that the last thing they needed for these Xianbei people was sympathy, just as they went south to plunder in autumn and winter, and what sympathy did they have for the Han people along the way?
Men are killed, the old and children are also killed, and women are taken captive, this is what has happened in the land of the state. There can be no sympathy for these beasts, and if they are soft-hearted, they will let go of women and children, and perhaps in the future, those women will give birth to new lives for them, and speak of hatred. And the child grew up, grew up, brandished the sword, and stepped on the territory belonging to the Han Dynasty. Even if they become old men, they will become part of the weapons of war, shepherding sheep and horses for the tribe, and providing military supplies.
So even if there are still living people in it, whether it is an old man, a woman or a child, they will not hesitate to make up for it and kill it. It's just that the tribe is so quiet that there is not even a child's cry, not even the cries of the wounded and dying, they are all dead people, and there is no time for the state cavalry to do anything.
On the tarpaulin of the tent on the side, there are also large red spots embroidered, which are left by the blood splattered on it, forming an abstract picture. The crimson blood spread out on the ground, and it was still flowing, flowing down the terrain from the high ground, like a meandering stream. A cavalryman jumped off his horse, walked to the side of the blood-red stream, stretched out his hand, and tapped his fingers in the bloody water, and the cold feeling was transmitted to his heart through his fingertips.
He walked over to the corpses again and began a detailed examination, and it didn't take long for him to come to a conclusion. These people were the same as the corpses they had seen along the way, even the wounds were exactly the same, except for the one in the chest that pierced the heart.
Such a mechanical and ruthless technique made the cavalryman swallow the saliva in his mouth, and felt a kind of fear that accompanied the admiration. You know, even the most elite soldiers can't insist on killing so many people in one way, this small tribe, there are thousands of people! Not to mention, the enemy will still resist, and there will be all kinds of accidents, so even if all of them don't resist, just stand and let people cut down, it will be difficult to kill everyone and leave only such a wound.
The cavalry ran back, clasped his fists in front of Lu Bu's war horse, and said: "Report to the general, the corpses and blood of these people are all cold, and the wounds on their bodies have coagulated, and it is initially estimated that at least this massacre happened before half a pillar of incense." ”
Massacre, yes, is slaughter. So that all the men of this tribe are unable to resist, or even postpone the coming of death, what is this not a massacre? What's more, no traces of anyone other than the corpse of the Xianbei people were found at the scene, if this was a long-planned attack, then how could the body of the attacker be left behind? Could it be that they are as elite as they are and the state cavalry? The cavalryman thought unconsciously, but there was an idea in his heart that couldn't stop spreading, maybe this was what one person did!
"Interesting. I didn't expect that I would be the first to be taken, and the prey that belonged to my Lu Fengxian would one day be hunted by others. It's so much fun. Lu Bu laughed.
There were enough accidents along the way, and even the accidents that he kept being assassinated in the first place were not as big as the accidents brought to him by everything in front of him now. So his curiosity inevitably rose, and he had an urgent anticipation to see what kind of person could be the first to kill his prey.
But...... Now is not the time.
He spoke up: "Give the order, within a quarter of an hour, gather all the available horses of this tribe, and slaughter as many cattle and sheep here as they can!" If the time is exceeded, then march immediately and continue to advance. ”
Raising war with war is what Lu Bu is talking about now, and it is also what he did. Every time a tribe is defeated, you can get the cattle and sheep raised by the tribe, and then slaughter the cattle and sheep, and dry the meat until it is dry, which becomes the military food for the army.
As for how to dry meat in an hour? You can't dry it, but you can tie beef and mutton to extra horses, use these horses as pack horses, and as long as the time goes by, the jerky will appear.
As a commander-in-chief in the army, then you should think about the whole army, not for the sake of personal curiosity. Otherwise, in the past, Lu Bu would have chased after him alone to see what kind of person he had robbed of his prey.
However, Lu Bu also knew that as long as he continued to move forward, there would always be a day when he met this person. If you can't meet it, then forget it, it's just a prey being robbed anyway. This entire grassland is full of his Lu Fengxian's prey!
