As soon as he rushed out of the wooden wall passage, a bloody smell that was so rich that it could not be dissipated hit Boss Ying's nose like a fist, causing him to stop suddenly.
Not far in front of him, a dozen prisoners who had just followed the two female generals were standing here, with some traces of vomiting on the ground.
But no one paid attention to this, because the stimulation brought by these smells was in no way comparable to the scene they saw in front of them.
In front of him is an extremely wide square, no matter vertical or horizontal, there are more than a hundred steps, enough to accommodate thousands of people lining up for training.
This is the square used by the Chu army's water village to train soldiers.
But now, the square is littered with corpses. Even the loess ground cannot absorb all the blood, causing the blood to accumulate into small puddles.
Under the sunlight, the smell of blood in these puddles was evaporated, and the wind blowing from the river was blocked by the wooden wall, unable to blow away the smell, and finally it condensed into such a strong smell of blood.
About six to seven hundred dejected soldiers were sitting on the ground in the center of the square. A knight riding a black horse, wearing black armor and a golden crown was riding towards this side, joining the red plums and golden chrysanthemums.
"Why are you here?" Lu Wu asked.
"It's all because of them - hey, why are there only so many people following?" Hongmei turned around and saw that there were more than a dozen people behind her, and they all stayed at the entrance and did not follow her into the square.
While they were talking, people from behind also poured in, but everyone stopped at the edge of the square, looking at the square with pools of blood, and no one dared to come over.
"Master, you are taking action too quickly!" Jin Ju looked around and said.
In addition to the river of blood on the square, various buildings around the square were also damaged.
There are four corner towers located around the square, three of which have collapsed.
There are seven or eight longhouses with large holes cut into the wooden walls, large enough for one person and one horse to enter and exit.
There is a two-story wooden house located at the end of the square. There are several large holes on the first floor. There is even a large hole on the second floor that can accommodate a person and a horse to jump out at the same time.
"Master, did you kill all five thousand people? Except them." Jin Ju broke the horse with her palm and pointed at the seven or eight hundred soldiers sitting in the center of the square, and exclaimed.
"How is that possible? I killed at most seven or eight hundred people. Most of them ran away in boats. I captured these."
Lu Wu shook his head, not to mention five thousand soldiers, even five thousand pigs, he could not kill them all in such a short period of time.
"Go over and watch the surrender troops! If anyone moves, kill them all."
Qiutong rode out of the L-shaped curve and was surprised to see the scene in front of her.
But she hasn't forgotten why she armed these prisoners and brought them here - isn't it just to show off her support on the platform?
Now there is no need for them to show off, so they can just start with it, right?
"——Follow your orders"
"yes--"
"I understand, little one."
Everyone responded one after another that all those who jumped out just now were killed. At this time, looking at the corpses all over the ground, no one dared to jump out.
"You, and you, you, all come with me."
Qiu Tong named the thirteen people who were the first to follow the red plum and golden chrysanthemum, plus Liu Wei (the boss of Ying), the mountain cleaver who rushed out first in the second batch, and a man holding a sword, and asked them to follow him and move toward that place. The knight with the golden crown walked away.
When speaking to these people, Qiu Tong's tone was more polite.
Qiu Tong rode his horse and came to Lu Wu.
"Master, no, husband, you are moving too fast."
Qiutong said with a hint of complaint that the original promise of training troops to gather military morale has now come to nothing.
Lu Wu doesn't like to play tricks with his own people. What he wants to do and what purpose he wants to achieve must be clearly stated to avoid misunderstandings.
When Master Jiao Heng brought by Jiang Min and Sun Ben was killed by the Chu army, and Lu Wu decided not to return to Wu, the goal of Lu Wu and the five maids was already set.
Since I can't go back to Wu and have a falling out with Chu, I might as well make trouble in Chu!
Do you really think that the robbery and murder on the river can just be forgotten?
The five maids have always focused on Lu Wu, and they are at an age where they are not afraid of anything. Since the young master has decided, let's do it.
Even if everything fails, the young master can always lead them to fight their way out and rub oil on the soles of their feet.
Anyway, they don't want to go back - here they are Lu Wu's wives and concubines, and when they return to Songjing, they might become maids again.
As for the Li family's fleet, the King of Wu's secret spies, and even the generals of the Lu family, they were barely considered their own and could be abandoned when necessary.
Neither Lu Wu nor Zhong felt any psychological burden.
So Lu Wu rode into the city alone and took Wen Yi's head from the main area of the city as a sacrifice to Master Jiao Heng. At the same time, he also wanted to disrupt Chu's command hub here.
Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, Lu Wu will attack the Chu army's water stronghold and break the water stronghold.
As long as the water stronghold is broken, the Chu State's water power here will be weakened by at least half. By then, everyone in the Li family's convoy will at least have a way out, and if the Wu State has support, they can also cross the river smoothly.
Qiu Tong and other five people were responsible for defeating the patrol camp, rescuing the captured Wu merchant travelers, and coercing these prisoners into an army with the gift of saving their lives, and went to the water village to respond.
Lu Wu could roam the battlefield, but he didn't have the ability to clone himself. Without his subordinates, he might not even be able to rule a town, let alone capture a piece of territory in the Chu Kingdom.
So it’s good to find a way to build a team, even if it’s just a ragtag group of people.
It stands to reason that the Chu army's water stronghold with 5,000 people, Lu Wu and one horse, would not be able to attack it alone, no matter how efficient the killing was.
Lu Wu went in and killed them, killing half of them. Qiu Tong and others led the prisoner army in to kill again. At the same time, they gathered the morale of the prisoner army and created a barely usable subordinate.
It was planned well, but the reality is always stranger than imagined.
Lu Wu himself didn't expect that he would completely destroy the morale of the entire water village in less than three quarters of an hour after he rushed into the water village and killed them.
The sailors who were far away and had quick legs all fled onto the boat and drove the boat up the river.
As for those who were close, they shouted for mercy, threw away their swords and blades, and then sat on the ground and let them fall.
The original plan was to be a hard battle, to train troops, gather military morale, and also try to collect surrendered soldiers for one's own use. Since the soldiers in the Chu army's water village were too useless, except for the last item of gathering surrendered soldiers, Apart from using one's troops for one's own purposes, there is no chance of realizing the first two items.
Lu Wu was also helpless.
Even if his martial arts were ten times better, as long as he had not recovered to the point where he could control the vitality of heaven and earth, he would not be able to prevent the water village soldiers from escaping. Before the prisoners arrived, the most he could do was capture these surrendered soldiers - this is still Because these people were too close to him and were too scared to run away.
If these people also fled in all directions, it would be good if Lu Wu could capture more than a hundred people.
