Yangzhou City is really in chaos these days!
Those city defense troops come in and out like ants every day, and occasionally bring back a few thieves, and the city will be as excited as the New Year.
Onlookers can line up from the city gate to the Yamen Prison behind the city!
Along the way, various vegetable leaves, soil, and stones rained down on the thieves! Occasionally, wealthy families would throw in a few eggs and salted fish, making the captured thieves even more embarrassed.
The soldiers who escorted the thieves into the city were also bad!
Before entering the city, he deliberately found a long rope and strung the captured thieves into a string like candied haws on a stick.
One of them is in front, and the other is behind, pulling the rope from a distance and controlling the route. This way, they are not afraid of people escaping, and they are not afraid of suffering from the disaster of pond fish!
Moreover, in order to make the smashing more enjoyable for the people in the city, they deliberately slowed down their pace!
Originally, this road could be walked in half an hour, but now it has to be walked for an hour! By the time he reaches the prison and is thrown into prison, the thief will only have half his life left.
Originally, although the people in the city also hated these thieves, they did not hate them so much.
After all, they stayed in the city from beginning to end and were not harmed by thieves! And once the hatred lacks personal pain, the hatred will naturally not be too strong.
But, after the war.
As the refugees came and went, and the officers and soldiers who captured the bandits reported what they saw along the way back to the city, the people in Yangzhou who were originally interested in watching the excitement became extremely angry!
Yangzhou has been at peace for too long! People living here have forgotten that nothing in this world is more cruel and inhumane than war!
Under war, all order and morality become a joke. Only blood and destruction are the true colors of war.
I remember that the first news came back from a small town about a hundred miles north of Yangzhou.
At that time, even though we knew that the thieves were coming, how could all the people in the town escape? There would always be people who couldn't let go of their family fortunes, or who had illusions and wanted to do something that was innocent of others.
Daydream.
And there is no doubt that these people who stayed behind eventually turned into cold corpses, and the town was eventually burned to the ground!
Even when Yangzhou was victorious and the officers and soldiers arrived, black smoke was still rising from the ruins of the town!
In a landlord's compound near Chuzhou, before a large group of thieves passed by, they tremblingly offered their wealth and prayed to be spared.
But after the thieves passed, only the thick smell of blood was left floating in the huge courtyard. The whole family of 132, plus servants, maids, etc., were all killed by the murderer!
Fishing villages along the coast! Villages adjacent to the mountains! As long as the thieves can reach them, there are traces of their wreaking havoc everywhere!
The above-mentioned tragic events, which are outraged by both humans and gods, only occur in a small part of this land!
There are more, but people don’t even have the courage to speak out!
Wang Wu, Xiao Dao and other rangers are still running fast in the mountains and fields.
If we say that at the beginning they only wanted to get rewards for their military merits!
Well, after witnessing several tragic events with their own eyes, their purpose has unknowingly changed!
Although, they were all scoundrels in the market before! But being a scoundrel also has a bottom line!
The beastly behavior of these thieves in front of them has deeply touched their most basic bottom line as a "Tang people"!
Now in the minds of these rangers, there is only one word for these stragglers: "kill"!
The team was walking in a hurry. From the bushes on the roadside in front, a rabbit suddenly jumped out in panic. It hopped on the forest path a few times and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
Wang Wu saw this scene from a distance, and his pace slowed down a lot. Then he waved his hand, and immediately there were several rangers behind him, leaning forward and groping into the bushes.
The bushes here are very large, and the dark green leaves are particularly eye-catching in this dry and yellow winter day.
However, precisely because of its conspicuousness, no one would pay special attention to it! If it hadn't been for the rabbit that was frightened out of the nest, Wang Wu would not have thought that there was someone hiding in it.
Several rangers came to the bush quietly. One of them took a look inside, then turned back and made a gesture to Wang Wu, which meant that there were not many people, and they could deal with it.
"Kuoluosi!!" (It means "kill" in Japanese. This is the correct pronunciation. Don't be confused by "kill me" and "die me die" in the drama...)
"kill!"
Soon, several frightened shouts sounded from behind the bushes, followed immediately by the crisp sound of weapons clashing, and the muffled groan of sharp blades cutting into bodies.
The chaotic sounds did not last long, and soon everything calmed down again.
The few rangers who went to investigate emerged from behind the bushes again, holding two heads with strange hairstyles in their hands.
"Japanese?" Wang Wu only glanced at the heads and recognized that they were the heads of two Japanese, and frowned unconsciously.
Although he had never had any dealings with the Japanese, he still knew the Japanese's ferocious temperament, so he quickly asked the rangers: "How are you? Are you injured?"
Several rangers laughed when they heard this, and one of them even shook his body a few times and said: "Fifth brother, you underestimate us. If we charge on the battlefield, we may not be as good as them, but after entering this forest, let
The two of them are no match for us!"
Wang Wu laughed loudly: "Okay! But we can't be careless. We brothers are living for ourselves now, so we don't dare to compromise!"
After that, he pointed to the heads in the hands of those people and continued: "Don't carry it, it's disgusting to look at! Take it and let the people behind collect it, and hand it over to the officials when you return to the city!"
"Here!"
The rangers agreed, picked up their bleeding heads with a smile, and ran towards the end of the team.
There, there are people who are responsible for collecting the heads of thieves so that they can be sent back to the city to record their merits.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, one strike on the head means one turn of merit!
Although people like Wang Wu now have their first goal changed to avenge those innocent victims of the Tang Dynasty!
But this military achievement is just a matter of chasing rabbits and killing rabbits. You can't just abandon your brother's wealth just for the sake of righteousness, right?
The ranger team quickly resumed their journey. For them, what just happened was just a small episode.
Just look at the blood-stained huge bags at the end, and you will know that they have experienced similar encounters many times!
They are rangers! They are born to pursue, find, and hide!
And during this period of marching and pursuit,
Wang Wu has become the real leader of this ranger team.
When those forces including the Mo family pushed these people out, they probably never thought that they would come back alive!
Now, not only did they come back alive, they also joined the military and became soldiers!
When those forces came back to recruit, no one followed them back.
Today, you ignore me, but tomorrow, I will make it impossible for you to reach high!
