Two days later. Wei Cheng and his party finally arrived at Zhuangzi, which Wei Mu once managed. The aura of dilapidation that can be seen is unbearable, and scavenging black crows are hovering in the low sky.
Their dark eyes stared closely at the humans moving "food" on the ground, and their sharp beaks let out an intrusive cry.
Occasionally, a few bold crows would try to grab food in the ruins, but they would be shot down by arrows shot from nowhere as soon as they swooped down.
Hao Zhao put away his short bow and looked down at the field where the corpses were placed. Dozens of city guard members were diligently digging graves.
There are more than a hundred corpses arranged neatly, but this is just the beginning. According to the request of the young master, all the bones must be buried today. The dead are the most important, so they must be buried in peace. The old man must not be eaten and desecrated.
On the other side, Zhong Xian is carving a tombstone with a dagger. Every time the knife falls, it is accompanied by a sad humming sound. It is the mournful music of remembering the ancestors and a requiem to guide the lonely souls to return home.
Several more charred skeletons were brought over. Hao Zhao drew a few lines on the ground with a short bow and said in a deep voice:
"One hundred and thirteen, one hundred and fourteen, one hundred and fifteen. He looked back at the ruins behind him. From the burned and collapsed houses, shouts of 'found it' and 'there's more here' could be heard from time to time."
"Xiao Zhao, Master said, we will camp here tonight." Hua Cun came over carrying his mace with a solemn expression.
Hao Zhao was also not in the mood to joke. After saying "Hmm," the two of them watched in a daze as the bones were put into the grave and buried.
"I have never resented those Hu people as much as I do today. If I had known that the Hu people were so hateful, I should have brought my brothers here, and I would have robbed the Hu people's caravans." Hua Cun suddenly said.
Hao Zhao looked at the old crows hovering in the air with vigilance. Hearing this, he said in a low mood:
"I used to think that the Yellow Turban thieves were hateful enough, but I didn't expect that there were people more cruel than them. Halfway through that tripod, Hao Zhao couldn't help but retched. Seeing this, Hua Cun shook his head and said:
"Stop talking, it won't be good if Wei Mu hears it later. His two children are about the same age. I just hope that Wei Mu's children are still alive. Although it's a bit selfish, I still hope that the one in the tripod is still alive." The child is not his son or daughter." Hao Zhao wiped the corners of his mouth and took a deep breath, rarely agreeing with Hua Cun's thoughts.
Buzz~
"what sound?"
"It seems like a big bird flew into the sky from the young master's tent." Hao Zhao had good eyesight and pointed at a black shuttle thing a few hundred meters high. Hua Cun looked up and saw that the thing had changed. It turned into a black spot and was flying rapidly towards the east. While the two of them were looking at the flying object curiously, Xu Ding's voice came.
"Where is Hua Cun? Hua Cun was startled and stood up quickly.
"Yes, I'm here." Xu Ding shouted:
"Quickly lead two hundred people to pursue eastward. Follow the direction of Tianyan. There is a small team of barbarians there."
"Eye of the Sky?" Hua Cun was startled at first, and then looked shocked:
"Are there barbarians around?" Xu Ding nodded and said:
"It's just a small team of about thirty people. The master wants to be captured alive. We also want to let them taste the feeling of being burned alive by the fire. Okay, you quickly take the people over and be sure to capture them." Hua Cun raised his head and looked at The flying object named Sky Eye ran towards his mount.
"Brothers from the third and fourth teams, you have work. Mount your horses quickly and follow me." The team members who were rummaging for bones in the ruins raised their heads one after another. The men belonging to the third and fourth teams quickly dressed up and turned over. Mount your horse.
Seeing that everyone was here, Hua Cun was less than twenty breaths away. He nodded with satisfaction, waved his whip and galloped away in the direction of the Sky Eye.
With a roar, two hundred horses galloped across the ground with great momentum. After following the so-called eye of the sky for about ten miles, I actually saw someone lighting a bonfire in the wilderness. The fire was bright and conspicuous under the night, and I could see the figure moving even though I was still far away.
Hua Cun's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he was about to issue an order when he saw the thing called Sky Eye flying towards them.
"Hua Cun listened to the order and sent a hundred people to follow me. The rest waited for the signal to launch the attack."
"Mr. Young Master?" Everyone looked frightened and confused. Wei Zheng's voice came from the humming thing in front of them.
"That's right, it's me. Follow my instructions to launch the attack. Make sure not to let anyone go. When I start to flash the green light in a while, you will launch the attack together. Now send a hundred people to follow me, hurry up." Silver carp was stunned for a moment, and then he respectfully bowed his fists towards Tianyan:
"yes."
"The third team listened to the order and followed me. The fourth team was waiting where they were. When they saw the green
"The green light is flashing." Wei Cheng reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes, when the green light flashes, we launch an attack together. Hua Cun gave an order, and a hundred people stepped forward in order. Seeing this, Wei Cheng flew into the sky again, leading Hua Cun and his group around a low mountain and The creek went directly behind the group of barbarians. After a stick of incense.
"Okay, please pay attention to my signal." As soon as Wei Cheng finished speaking, the Sky Eye flew high into the sky again. When it reached the top of the heads of the group of barbarians, the originally weak red light suddenly emitted a dazzling green light with a rhythm. 's flickered.
Seeing this, Hua Cun waved his hand:
"Attack. Ta-ta-ta, 叏鲁lv
"What's the sound? The sudden strange noise made the barbeque barbeque instantly alert. He picked up the torch and threw it in all directions.
"It's the Han people, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking
"The opponent has a large number of people. Everyone is running eastward. We don't have food. It's important to save our lives." The Hu people's reaction was not slow. They got on their horses one by one and ran eastward with the leader.
However, what they didn't expect was that a group of cavalry also appeared in the east. Under attack from both sides, the leader shouted decisively:
"Run away separately. No matter who it is, after escaping back, immediately report to His Highness King Zuo Xian that the Han army is coming." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the north. Compared with other people's mounts, his The horse was obviously more explosive. Before he finished speaking, he ran a few dozen meters away. Others were not as lucky as him. As soon as he turned the horse's head, he found that there was no way to escape and someone had made dumplings. At this moment, the Sky Eye in the sky landed on Hua Cun's head again, and Wei Cheng's voice came:
"Take five people and chase them north. One of them has escaped. Follow the Heavenly Eye closely. Hurry." Hua Cun's Adam's apple twitched in disbelief. This Heavenly Eye must be too powerful.
It was so dark, how did it find someone slipping away? After coming back to his senses, Hua Cun and five people chased after him personally. Under the guidance of the Sky Eye, they pursued in a straight line.
The barbarian leader, who was in a panic and couldn't choose a path, moved east and west for a while, constantly changing directions in order to escape pursuit.
In the end, as expected, they were overtaken by Hua Cun and others. One to six, the leader of the barbarians dismounted and surrendered.
He's not feeling well. This is a wilderness, and there are even more dark clouds tonight. How did these Han people catch up with me?
