At the entrance of Lishan Town.
Lin Xu turned over and dismounted, looking at the corpses of the people on the ground, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Because these people were still with them a few hours ago.
Yes, it was the people of Lishan Town who helped them cross the river. But in just a few hours, living people had turned into cold corpses.
He didn't have time to thank them properly.
At this moment, he felt regret for the first time.
If I had followed them back to town, these people would definitely not have died.
Suddenly, Lin Xu saw a little girl. Her arm was injured and blood was flowing out.
But she didn't cry like other children, she just sat quietly on the roadside and cried.
In front of her, a big man was lying.
Lin Xu had met him, and it was he who came here carrying Zhang Tianyue, the mayor of Lishan Town, on his back. His name was Wang Zhude.
He had several stab wounds on his body, the most fatal of which was the stab wound on his heart, which almost penetrated his heart.
The body was already cold.
Lin Xu stepped forward, tore off his clothes and bandaged the little girl slowly, and whispered: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." The little girl shook her head: "Dad said that no matter what happens, Nan Nan is not allowed to cry, otherwise he will be angry."
"Brother, Nannan is very obedient and didn't cry, right?" The little girl raised her dirty little face, which was full of tears, and tears fell down as she spoke.
Lin Xu stepped forward, hugged her into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Yes, Nan Nan is great. I didn't cry."
"Brother told you a joke just now. Nannan was very happy and cried with joy."
As his voice fell, Nan Nan's tears were like water bursting from a dam. She couldn't control it anymore and started crying loudly.
He kept chanting: "Nan, Nan Nan is not crying, it's my brother, my brother's smile, the joke is so good, I laughed."
"Dad, daddy, you, you can't be angry."
Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Lian, who were standing behind, did not come forward to disturb them and began to direct the factory guards to help other people.
After the Battle of Luoyacheng, out of the 2,000 Dongchang factory guards brought by Cao Zhengchun, only more than 1,500 were left.
The rest died on the battlefield.
More than a thousand people worked until night to finally bury all the bodies.
Cao Zhengchun personally went to the mountains to hunt for the people and prepared food for everyone.
"Brother, are you my father's friend?" After a day of comfort from Lin Xu, Nan Nan finally felt better and began to take the initiative to speak.
"Well, I'm your father's friend." Lin Xu smiled and touched her little head.
At this time, a stumbling figure ran over and knelt directly on the ground: "Zhang Tianyue, Mayor of Caomin Lishan Town, comes to see Your Majesty. Long live my emperor. Long live my emperor."
"The common people did not know His Majesty was coming and have been busy until now to come to see you. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
"Get up!" Lin Xu personally stepped forward to help him up and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, what happened in Lishan Town?"
"It's barbarians. They used climbing tools to climb up from the back mountain and burned, killed and looted in our town." Zhang Tianyue looked angry and clenched his fists.
If he hadn't been old, he would have rushed forward to fight the enemy, even if he lost his life.
"The Daman army is fighting with me in Luoya City. Are they still sending people to prepare for a sneak attack?" Lin Xu frowned.
"It doesn't seem like it." Cao Zhengchun came over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I checked the surroundings for signs."
"The barbarians probably just burned, killed and looted, and had no other intentions."
Lin Xu paused and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, can you clearly see the leader of the other party?"
"There are dozens of Damanzi. The leader is a young man. He is tall and thin. By the way, he has an obvious scar on his forehead."
Zhang Tianyue was hiding in a dark place at that time and did not dare to come out. If the person had not happened to pass by the hiding place, he would not have been able to see the scar on the other person's forehead clearly.
"Send someone to Luoya City and ask Xinlong Zhige." Lin Xu said calmly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The barbarians cannot stay, otherwise the people here will inevitably not suffer a second attack.
If there is one, there are two. If they are not beaten painfully this time, these people will never have peace in the future.
"Mr. Zhang, have you been attacked before?"
"No."
"It seems that this group of barbarians decided that Luoya City could not be defended, so they couldn't wait to come over and get a share of the pie."
"But they seemed to have heard the news of the surrender of the Daman army in Luoya City, so they left in a hurry."
"The barbarians burned, killed, looted, and humiliated my people. This account will not be easily reversed."
Lin Xu's expression was cold. He originally didn't want to use troops abroad so soon.
After all, there are huge internal conflicts in the Qianwu Kingdom, and if one mistake is made, it will easily cause a chain reaction.
But now the enemy is in his face. If he hasn't made any move, then this emperor is not worthy.
Hundreds of people were killed in Lishan Town, and almost all the young and middle-aged people in the town died. Even the old, weak, women and children were not spared.
Many women's bodies were lying naked on the ground, with obvious signs of violation on their bodies.
Damn these beasts! !
Zhang Tianyue still had something on his hands, so seeing that Lin Xu was fine, he respectfully withdrew.
[Ding, a new week has arrived, and the host can draw new templates. 】
[Template is being extracted...]
[The draw is successful, please choose one of the three templates: "Snow Dragon Cavalry", "Forbidden Army" and "Yellow Turban Army". 】
The long-lost system sound sounded in my mind.
This time, there are three troop templates.
"A Tong, do you also support me in fighting?" Lin Xu muttered in surprise.
[Host, the templates drawn are all random. I didn't interfere. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation. 】
Lin Xu smiled and said silently: "I want the Snow Dragon Rider."
The Snow Dragon Riders are the strongest army from the Northern Liang Army.
With them, it would be easy to crush the barbarians.
But now there's a problem.
Resettling the victims has emptied his small treasury. Even if the price of a single Snow Dragon Rider is not high, he cannot summon an entire army.
"Your Majesty is short of money?"
As the first land immortal to obtain, Cao Zhengchun was like a roundworm in Lin Xu's belly, and his plight could be seen almost at a glance.
"Yes. I intend to attack the barbarians for revenge, but I don't have the money."
"Although there are 200,000 Mu family troops, they have to guard hundreds of thousands of Daman troops. If we divide our troops to attack their tribe at this time, there is no guarantee that they will not resist."
Lin Xu sighed slightly, although hundreds of thousands of Dabarbarian troops surrendered, the Dabarbarians were still where they had lived since childhood.
These people are always a threat.
But there is no good way to deal with it right now.
"Your Majesty, if you just want to conquer the barbarians, I think there is no need to go to such trouble."
"The expedition is nothing more than a lack of men."
"But now we have just captured hundreds of thousands of people, why not use them?"
Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Lin Xu frowned, using the Daman army to deal with the Daman tribe, is this possible?
If they were allowed to return to the barbarian tribe, it would be easy for them to return home.
It won't be that easy to deal with them then.
"No, it seems possible." Lin Xu had a flash of idea and said immediately: "Cao Zhengchun, go and sort out the information about the Barbarians and give it to me."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Cao Zhengchun smiled and lowered his head. Your Majesty is really talented and he thought of a solution so quickly.
