The small town of Xikou is no more than three miles long from east to west, but there are thousands of corpses lying on the ground.
Among these corpses were old people in their twilight years and babies who were still in their infancy.
There are even some half-dressed women hanging naked from the beams...
All the way to the entrance of the town, more than a dozen bloody corpses were hung on a big tree. Their bodies were densely studded with arrows. This was a common demonstration method used by the Wuhuan people...
From beginning to end, Liu Deng didn't say a word. He just stepped forward silently and carefully helped each corpse sort out its remains.
Originally, the generals of Yan State were still a little dissatisfied with Liu Deng, but when they saw this scene, they felt a bit stuck in their throats for a moment.
"If I don't avenge this revenge, I, Liu Deng, will be called a Han man in vain!"
Regarding the complete annihilation of the Wuhuan people, Liu Deng still had some burden in his heart, but now that burden has disappeared.
At this moment, Liu Deng only had endless killing intent in his heart, and blood debts can only be repaid with blood.
Killing and plundering, this is the original sin flowing in the veins of the nomads.
There was a time when Liu Deng thought he could change everything.
Liu Deng once believed that no nation is born to die, everything is for survival, and there is nothing that cannot be forgiven.
But now, Liu Deng just wants to fight violence with violence!
"The last general, Wang Chong, is willing to be the king's vanguard, and follow the king to sweep Wuhuan, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
After a moment of silence, Wang Chong directly pulled out the sword from his waist, and then knelt on one knee behind Liu Deng.
"The last general is willing to be the king's vanguard, and follow the king to sweep Wuhuan, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard of the great king. The greatest king will sweep Wuhuan, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"
…
Soon, all the generals knelt on one knee behind Liu Deng, regardless of whether they were from the Yan Kingdom or the Dai Kingdom!
"Very good. Send the order to bury my Han people. After two hours, I will continue to pursue Tuoba Lie! From now on, no one will be left alive in every battle. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth! Wuhuan will never be destroyed. , I will never seal the sword!"
"promise!"
Wang Chong shouted loudly and then stood up.
The other generals also stood up silently, and under Wang Chong's arrangement, began to assign their tasks in an orderly manner.
The whole town couldn't stand still now. This tragic scene left everyone dumbfounded.
Even the old veterans in the army have become silent now, and that deep sense of humiliation lingers in everyone's hearts.
Especially the generals of the Yan State, they had never experienced the cruelty of war so closely. Originally, they all thought that they were just obeying orders from above.
His Highness the Crown Prince was responsible for everything. To them, this was just a struggle for power. But now, having witnessed the horror of the alien invasion with their own eyes, the unspeakable guilt made them suffer even more.
The soldiers moved quickly, and the corpses in the town were slowly collected. At this time, there was a chaos of war everywhere, and naturally there was no place to prepare coffins.
Moreover, almost all the people were killed during this period, and all Liu Deng could do was dig a big hole and bury them on the spot.
During the whole process, the town was quiet. During the march of tens of thousands of troops, except for the noisy footsteps and the neighing of horses, there was almost no noise.
A dull atmosphere hung over everyone, and the strong murderous intent made everyone's eyes red.
"Send out scouts to search for Tuoba Lie's traces!"
Liu Deng's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes flashed with crazy murderous intent.
"promise!"
Wang Chong responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Although the Wuhuan people are all cavalry, they are on their way home at this time.
Almost everyone was carrying dense trophies on their backs, and the horses' speed naturally slowed down.
On the other hand, the Han army, although most of them were infantry, did not have much baggage to carry.
They are currently fighting in the territory of the Yan Kingdom. Behind them is a solid defense line, so each of them only carries their own rations for ten days. The speed of their march is not much weaker than that of the Wuhuan people.
Coupled with the stimulation they received this time, by noon the next day, the distance between the small armies was actually less than thirty miles!
"Reporting to your Majesty, Tuoba Lie's traces have been found. They are now thirty miles directly in front of us!"
After getting the exact trace of Tuoba Lie, Wang Chong still felt a little bit worried.
Although it is said that the mourning soldiers will win, the hatred of the whole army towards the Wuhuan people has almost reached its peak.
But after all, these Wuhuan people are all cavalry, and the vast majority of their team are infantry.
If the two sides really come to a head-to-head confrontation, the outcome is really unknown.
"Go down with the order, raise my king's flag, and tell Tuoba Lie that I have come to ask for his life!"
"promise!"
Following Liu Deng's order, a royal flag flew high.
And Wang Chong also took back some of the scouts in time.
Thanks to Wang Chong's methods, those Wuhuan's scouting horses were finally able to approach the Han army's camp!
"This, this royal flag is! Acting King Liu Deng!"
After discovering Liu Deng's Wang Banner, the Wuhuan people's scouting horses were immediately frightened out of their wits.
At this time, Tuoba Lie is planning how to devour these Han troops.
If they were just soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, his plan would certainly be correct, but if Liu Deng's Shenwu Army were mixed in, they would suffer big losses if they were not good enough!
"Go and report to the king!"
Not daring to delay any longer, several Wuhuan spies immediately turned their horses and flew back to report.
In the Wuhuan camp, Tuoba Lie was already issuing combat missions.
Since these Han people are so tight-lipped, I would be really sorry for myself if I didn't send them back to their hometown.
Although they are on the way to withdraw their troops now, it does not mean that they are afraid of the soldiers of Yan State.
"If you hold on, I will give you 10,000 cavalry. You attack from the left wing. Using my drum as a signal, I will break through the enemy camp from the left!"
"promise!"
"Tuoba Zhong, I will give you 10,000 cavalry. You attack from the right wing. Using my war drum as a signal, I will break through the enemy camp from the right!"
"promise!"
"Report——"
Just when the generals of Wuhuan were ambitious and ready to strike back, the spies who came back from Pegasus finally arrived.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Tuoba Lie was very dissatisfied with this guy for interrupting his marching arrangements.
"Your Majesty, Liu Deng's royal flag suddenly rose among the Han troops behind us!"
"What did you say?"
Tuoba Lie stood up suddenly. He really couldn't believe his ears.
"In the Han army camp behind us, Liu Deng's royal flag suddenly rose!"
"Gu——dong——"
