Li Yue suddenly remembered what Zhang Shan said yesterday that he would be sent to Yecheng to be an eunuch.
After Shi Le's death, Shi Hu killed Shi Le's entire family, went against the grain in Yecheng, and deliberately tortured the Han people, causing the entire north to become a ghost.
For a moment, Li Yue wanted to rush forward and fight with Jieren for fun.
As soon as this idea appeared, it surged through his veins like a ball of fire.
"It's useless to die, it's better to keep a useful life for the future." Cui Jin woke up at some point and seemed to see through Li Yue's thoughts, "It's like this everywhere in the north. How many people can you save? How many people can you kill? ?”
The blood and anger in his chest quickly cooled down, and he watched helplessly as the group of people walked away, their figures gradually becoming blurred with the desolate earth.
A putrid smell came overwhelmingly.
Li Yue looked around and suddenly saw that the water upstream turned black and red, and countless floating corpses crowded on the river, slowly going down.
Thin hands stretched out to the sky like dead branches, as if they wanted to grab something. Occasionally, fish jumped out of the water and fell into the pile of floating corpses, causing a burst of black and red water spray...
A group of crows circled above, landed, picked up a piece of carrion, and then flew up into the sky at an angle...
Li Yue was pulled up by Cui Jin, and the two stood on the shore, staring blankly at the floating corpse in the water.
The rotten human faces still retain the painful expressions of life. The pale pupils stared at Li Yue, rising and falling with the water waves.
"Let's go." Cui Jin sighed.
Li Yue withdrew his gaze and followed Cui Jin, walking forward in silence.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the sky became darker and darker, and raindrops fell one after another. In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth became gray, and a chill lingered in my heart.
Finally, I saw a few big trees, and I was about to take shelter from the rain. As I got closer, I saw more than a dozen mummies hanging on the branches. They were obviously members of the same tribe, old and young, male and female, all equally thin and casual. The wind and rain shook it.
There were bursts of thunder, and the wind and rain became more intense, hitting my face, and the chill seeped from my skin into my heart.
In the wind and rain, bursts of fighting sounds suddenly came from ahead.
Li Yue thought he heard wrongly, but he saw Cui Jin next to him looking blankly into the distance.
A group of people were vaguely fighting, as if shrouded in a layer of blood mist. The surrounding raindrops and water vapor also turned red, and occasionally the neighing of war horses could be heard.
"The cavalry is from Jie!" Cui Jin stretched her neck and became energetic instantly.
No matter who the opponent is, it is a good thing to dare to intercept and kill Jie people.
Li Yue held the kitchen knife, and the fire in his heart rose again.
Only by living in this era can we understand this kind of anger and hatred!
The fighting seems to be coming to an end.
The Jie cavalry are well-equipped and everyone wears armor, which is a great advantage.
The people who besieged them looked like a mob at first glance, wearing single clothes and bare feet, carrying broken knives and broken spears picked up from unknown places, and rushed towards the Jie people desperately.
Although they worked hard, the equipment gap was too big, and it was difficult for the swords and spears in their hands to cause harm to the Jie people wearing iron armor.
And the Jie people can take away a person's life with just one spear.
There were more than a hundred young men on the ground, holding their heads and huddled in the mud. It was the Han who had been driven away by the Jie people just now.
A kitchen knife tore through the rain curtain and hit a Jie man in the face accurately. The man screamed and fell from his horse on his back.
Li Yue stepped forward and picked up the spear in his hand.
I wanted to peel off his armor, but the knight on the left had already reacted, raised his spear at him, urged his horse, and stabbed him.
Li Yue quickly struck the ground with his spear, pointing the tip of the spear at the charging Jieren, and his muscles all over his body reacted almost instinctively.
This Jie man was also extremely brave. He didn't retreat or evade, so he just bumped into him blankly.
With a "tearing" sound, the war horse's neck was torn open by the spear, revealing the terrifying flesh and bones. With the momentum, the spear in Li Yue's hand was also broken.
At the critical moment, Li Yue let go of the spear in his hand and rolled on the spot. Still using his body's instinct, he dodged the oncoming spear, and the soft mud relieved most of the force.
There was a huge pain in both hands, but luckily they were not dislocated.
Fortunately, it was a rainy day, so the Jieren cavalry could not charge, and the bows and arrows also lost their due advantages.
If it were a galloping war horse, he would definitely not be able to save his arms in just one encounter.
Jieren was half-pressed by the horse and was struggling wildly.
Li Yue ignored the pain in his arm, roared, pressed forward, and hit his face like a rain of fists. After a while, he stopped moving.
But Li Yue did not dare to take it lightly, and after completing his mission of eradicating evil, he took out the ring-headed knife from his body and cut his throat.
Standing up from the bloody mud, Li Yue gasped for air, but strangely did not feel any discomfort. Even the fight just now was almost instinctive.
Cui Jin on the other side was killing everyone. Even though he was a sick cat in the water, he was a ferocious tiger on land. He opened and closed the long sword in his hand and swung it freely in the rain, cutting down several horses one after another.
But he was also panting from exhaustion.
The arrogance of the Jie people was immediately suppressed, and the morale of the people around them was greatly boosted, and they began to surround and kill in groups.
"Second brother, third brother, it turns out it's you!" A man climbed up from the muddy water and said in surprise.
"Brother!" Cui Jin was overjoyed.
Li Yue looked at the man standing in the rain. He was tall and tall, with a long scar on his right face from the corner of his eye to the base of his ear, adding a bit of ferocity. Before he could speak, he was already walking quickly, looking up and down with gentle eyes. , asked with concern: "Third brother, have you ever been injured?"
"I almost didn't get to see my big brother."
The name "Meng Kai" suddenly came to mind.
"Great kindness! Hahaha..." Meng Kai looked up to the sky and laughed, letting the rain pour into his mouth.
Perhaps the laughter was so loud that it attracted the attention of a Jieqi. The armor on this man's body was obviously thicker than the others. He held his long sharp sword flat and pointed directly at Meng Kai to stab him.
But Meng Kai seemed not to notice and was still smiling.
"Be careful!" Li Yue roared.
However, the two were already close to each other, and the war horses arrived in just a few steps.
Just as Li Yue's words left his mouth, Meng Kai suddenly shouted, "Get away!"
It was like a roar of thunder in the plains, the sound was extremely frightening, and the war horses were frightened to the point where they stood up, but the Jieqi's spear still stabbed out skillfully...
However, it did not stab Meng Kai's body. Instead, he caught Chang Shan with his backhand and then crashed into the war horse.
Call...
The war horse let out a long neigh and was knocked back five or six steps, finally slipping in the mud.
"Brother's power!" Cui Jin on the side smiled while stroking his sword.
Li Yue was also shocked by this nominal eldest brother. Although the war horse did not charge, but he was so high up that even the man, horse and armor, weighing hundreds of kilograms, were knocked away by him...
"Death!" Meng Kai swung his backhand, directly piercing the Jieqi's armor and pinning him to the ground.
Jie Qi was not dead for a moment and let out a shrill scream.
Meng Kai laughed in the rain.
This move completely defeated Jie Qi's resistance, and they all fled into the rain.
But they were all surrounded and killed by the minions.
At this time, a person suddenly jumped up from the ground and climbed onto an empty war horse. The movements were all done in one go. Everyone was celebrating the victory in advance. They didn't expect that the Jie man would be killed. When they reacted, they had already escaped into the rain and threw The next sentence is, "Heiyun Mountain Bandit Chief will come to take revenge one day!"
"We can't let him go!" Meng Kai got on his horse, but his equestrian skills were not good. After running a few steps, both man and horse slipped and fell in the mud. In fact, even if he didn't fall, it would be difficult to catch up. Many Jie people ride on horseback all year round. Come on, your riding skills are excellent.
Cui Jin took a bow and arrow and aimed at the vague figure in the rain curtain. Before the arrow was shot, the bow string spread out...
The heavy rain quickly swallowed up the figure of the Jieqi.
Meng Kai sat up from the mud and gasped: "Damn it, this guy is destined to die!"
Everyone began to clean the battlefield, and everything on Jieren's body was pulled off, including armor, bows and arrows, ring-headed swords, clothes...
Not even the horse corpse was spared.
Meng Kai brought over two strong horses, "Second brother, third brother, one horse for each of you!"
"Thank you, brother!" Cui Jin bowed his hand.
"Thank you, brother!" Li Yue was moved.
The idea is that one donkey can be exchanged for three young men, and a healthy horse is even more precious.
"Brother, why bother talking so much!" Meng Kai stroked the water from his hair cheerfully.
Although they won the battle, the casualties were considerable. More than forty people died under the Jie people's spears, and no less than a hundred people were injured.
Many people suffered chest and abdominal injuries and lay wailing in the rain and mud.
"So many people have died, how can I explain it to Zhao Guang?" Cui Jin frowned.
"Explain? If Zhao Heizi dares to talk too much, don't blame a certain subordinate for being ruthless. A thief in the village, does he really think he is the king?" Meng Kai showed his true nature as a strongman and took the knife in his hand.
Only then did Li Yue remember that the three brothers were living under someone else's roof.
"They are Gaoli Imperial Guards!" said one of the minions, holding up an iron sign.
