Chapter 12: The Butcher
Some of these Turkic people's older men let out a few angry roars and rushed directly towards Huo Gang and them, while the other women turned around and ran away with some boys, and some women also rushed up with this part of the people.
But even the strongest men in their camp were all killed when they faced Huo Gang and them, not to mention these old men and women.
With a crisp sound of "poof", the long sword in Huo Gang's hand directly split the arrow that came from the front, and then accurately slashed through the neck of a Turkic woman, and the bright red blood instantly shot out along the blade of the sword.
Huo Gang didn't even change his eyes, his long sword had already turned to the next person.
The Turks who rushed towards them were all pierced by the horse lance in a single shot, and the rest of the Turks were all fleeing, but Huo Zheng and the others had already put away the horse lance and took out the bow and arrow on their backs.
"Whoosh" The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, Huo Gang saw the archery skills of these guards cavalry for the first time, even on the back of a high-speed pursuit, their arrows were almost all shots, and one by one the Turks directly screamed and fell off their horses.
After a meal, most of the people in the entire Turkic tribe were all killed, leaving only some children to be brought to Huo Gang.
"General?" Zhao Er hesitated for a moment, and called Huo Gang tentatively.
"Huo Zheng!"
"The subordinates are here!" Huo Zheng bowed.
"Lead half of the cavalry to search all the remaining oases and make sure no one escapes." Huo Gang said expressionlessly.
"Yes!" Huo Zheng directly led the people away, while the rest of the people looked at the more than twenty children in front of them who were no taller than the horseback, and they huddled together with a frightened face.
Huo Gang didn't speak, nor did he look at these Turkic children, just sat quietly on horseback and waited for Huo Zheng to find their search results.
The area of the three oases near Yangguan is not small, and there are even some tall trees growing around the oasis, and there are crops growing in many places in the middle, but there are too few places where people can be hidden, and it won't take long for Huo Zheng and them to search.
About half an hour or so, Huo Zheng led the cavalry to search and return, and sure enough, five people were dragged back with ropes behind their horses, three men and two women.
"General, all the places have been searched, and this is a few people we have caught who are hiding." Huo Zheng arched his hand at Huo Gang.
"Hmm." Huo Gang set his eyes on these five Turkic people, these three men are relatively old, about fifty years old, and the two women also look like they are in their forties, of course, maybe they are not that old, the wind and sun on this grassland, they can't tell their age at all.
"This general! I have something to say. The oldest Turkic old man in the middle spoke loudly in Chinese.
"Say." Huo Gang said coldly.
"General, the hatred between us may not be resolved, but I hope you can abide by the rules of the steppe Gobi and let go of the children who are not higher than the horseback, all of us can die, your kindness, the divine eagle on the Gobi will see it." The old Turkic man fell directly to his knees on the ground.
"What's your name?" Huo Gang paused and asked.
"My name is Ayebi." The old Turkic man spoke.
"Very good, Ayebi, can I know where those young men of your tribe go?" Huo Gang asked without changing his face.
Huo Gang noticed that when he asked this question, the old man named A Yebi's body shook directly.
"I don't know." Ayebi just replied with two words.
"So you know what? Just today, someone with three hundred Turkic cavalry tried to raid my tribe and wanted to kill all my people there. Huo Gang's tone was very calm, as if he was saying something unrelated.
Ah Yebi was silent for a moment before continuing: "I know, so I don't ask myself to live, I just ask you to let these children go." ”
Huo Gang didn't speak, just looked at him with a calm face, and for a long time Huo just said: "I don't know if you Turkic people have any memories, but I don't mind giving you a memory from today!" Remember one sentence, if you kill me, I will slaughter your tribe, and those who dare to offend my Han people will be punished even if they are far away! ”
"Someone!" Huo Gang shouted loudly.
"In!" All the cavalry roared.
"Kill! Except for him, not a single one remains! Huo Gang gave the order directly without hesitation.
"General!" Lying on the ground, Ah Yebi raised his head instantly, shouted with red eyes.
It's just that all the cavalry who heard Huo Gang's order instantly took out the long knives on their waists, and they didn't stop at all because of A Yebi's words, and they all didn't hesitate to slash down at all the Turkic living people except A Yebi!
"General." Zhao Er over there hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Huo Gang, because in front of him was a Turkic baby who was only a few months old and still wrapped in sheepskin.
Huo Gang glanced back at Zhao Er with an indifferent face, Zhao Er shuddered at the excitement of Huo Gang's eyes, but before he could react, the long sword in Huo Gang's hand pulled a sword light, and the long sword full of patterns in his hand came out of his hand, and with a "poof" sound, it was directly inserted into the ground from the baby's face.
"Ah......" Ah Yebi, who was lying on the ground, directly let out a mournful roar, and the whole person instantly got up from the ground like crazy, and was about to rush towards Huo Gang directly.
It's just that a soldier behind him kicked him directly in the crook of the leg without hesitation, and the two people instantly pressed him to his knees and couldn't move.
Huo Gang turned over and dismounted indifferently, walked over directly, and pulled his long sword out of the corpse, a drop of blood fell from the blade of the sword, and the long sword was as shiny as new.
With a "swish" sound of the long sword into the sheath, Huo Gang walked directly in front of A Yebi as if he didn't see it, and asked in a low voice, "Do you hate me?" ”
"I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood!" Ayebi's voice was like an old lone wolf, and the voice came from his throat, and his eyes were already red.
Huo Gang didn't seem to hear it, he turned around directly, turned over and got on the horse again, he didn't look back, but said lightly: "Zhao Er, do you think I'm a butcher?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare." Zhao Er's body trembled.
Huo Gang didn't speak, his eyes looked silently into the distance, he wanted to take those thousand people to survive in this Western Regions, how to survive? How to keep their children alive and slaughtered by the Turks?
I think that my Han Dynasty has been more than 400 years, even at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes of the early Three Kingdoms competed for hegemony, the Han Dynasty was stormy, and the country would not be a country, but even if it was so internal and external, there were nomads who dared to invade my Han for half a step? !
A few hundred years later, in the Great Song Dynasty, which had famous generals like Yue Wumu, the Han people became two-legged sheep.
Why?
Without him, only blood.
