Chapter 46 Massacre
"Tian King! This is the last tribe in a radius of hundreds of miles!" Looking at the smoke rising from a distance, a Hun soldier told the Central Bank to report.
"Attack in! Burn their ferry and ask if they have seen the Han people come!" Zhonghang said with a frown slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He has not yet discovered the whereabouts of the Han Dynasty's mission! Could it be that they have gone to the north? He waved to the envoy responsible for the training of the eagle in the team, "There is no news yet?"
The eagle gently combed the feathers of the eagle on his shoulders, shook his head and replied, "The King of Heaven, the condor who saw General Subu off the day before yesterday, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to receive the reply until tomorrow!"
"If Xubumo had discovered the whereabouts of the Han Dynasty mission, he should have sent a message long ago!" The Bank of China said that there was little hope to block the Han Dynasty mission on the east bank of the river! Although he could not guess how the Han people crossed the river, he had realized that he had to start planning the next plan!
"Get the pen and ink!" The personal follower quickly brought the pen and ink and parchment paper. The Bank of China said that he would sit on the horse and write two text messages to the Eagle Envoy, "One for King Xiu Tu, and the other for King Kun Xie! Let them be sure to stop the Han people's mission!"
Although King Kunxie and King Xiu Tu were not as respected as King Zuo Xian and King Youxian, they were also the most powerful forces among the Huns! They each led tens of thousands of nomadic people on the west bank of the Yellow River, and the Han delegation was the only way to go to the Great Yuezhi.
Among them, King Xiu Tu's tribe controlled the later generations of Wuwei County. If the Han Dynasty envoys crossed the Yellow River, they would soon enter the sphere of influence of King Xiu Tu! The Kunxie King's tribe controlled the Zhangye County. In the opinion of the Zhongchang, even if those Han Dynasty envoys could escape the siege of King Xiu Tu's siege by chance, they would be controlled by King Kunxie.
"Yes, the king!" The eagle took the letter with both hands, rolled them into paper rolls and stuffed them into bamboo tubes tied to the eagle's legs and sealed them. After a while, the two eagles spread their wings and flew high, turning around their heads, one by one and one by one, and then flew towards the west bank of the Yellow River, and disappeared into the clouds in a short while.
In this moment, the Hun cavalry had occupied the small tribe, and the ships were found and piled up together to burn; the leader of the tribe was brought to the Central Bank.
"Have you seen or heard of Han people passing by here in the past few days?" Zhonghang said coldly as he looked at the timid guy, and the answer naturally disappointed him! This small tribe has not met any outsiders in recent days.
"Save some people here to guard the ships! The rest will come back with me!" The Bank of China shouted sternly, coming out of the valley, there are only a few roads to travel west! Since I haven't found them yet, I must have crossed the river from somewhere I passed by!
"The King of Heaven!" The Hun soldiers who escorted the tribe leader carefully looked at the Zhonghang and then hesitated, "The ships have been burned!" Didn't you order all the ships you searched for wherever you go? Why are you going to send someone to guard them now?
"What!" said the Bank of China, then, remembered that it was a customary thing for a tribe to burn ships first. He could only watch the flames rising from the air not far away and regret it. Without these ferries, how could they cross the Yellow River? Could it be that they would have to go around a big circle and cross the river from other places?
Unfortunately, the other tribes closest to them were already a hundred miles away. When they met Subumo, they found the tribe with ships to cross the river. At that time, the Han Dynasty delegation had run to where they had already run!
"Tian Wang! This is the last tribe! Should we go there next?" The soldier seemed to have not seen what Zhonghang said, and asked blankly.
"Go there?" The Bank of China said that he was holding a breath in his heart for a long time and could not dissipate. First, he was defeated by others with less hits and more, and then he ran away in vain. When did he suffer such setbacks, who had always played with the Han court in applause? It was so depressing!
His eyes wandered around, and by chance it fell on the tribe leader! The Zhonghang said he took a deep breath, picked up the whip and slapped him in a scattered manner! "Kill them all! Then we go back!"
"Good luck, please! Good luck, please!" The tribe leader screamed at the top of his lungs, but his voice not only failed to arouse the sympathy of Zhongxing, but also made him more and more disgusted! A look passed, and the guard immediately pulled out a scimitar and cut off his head.
The wailing sounds here stopped, and a louder cry broke out in the small tribe not far away! Teams of Hun soldiers laughed and rode their horses through the tent, waving their scimitars to slash at the poor Qiang people! The wailing sounds that were still unable to die for a while, the heartbreaking crying sounds of the heartbreak, the curse after despair and the laughter of the Huns, turning this place into a cruel scene like hell.
The blood dyed the earth red in a short while, and the tent was thrown on torches by the Huns. Several Qiang people hiding in the tent ran out of the tent with fire, and threw themselves to the ground and rolled desperately. The Hun soldiers also put away their scimitars and looked at these unlucky guys with a smile! They knew that being burned to death was much more painful than killing them with one knife.
In less than a stick of incense, this tribe, regardless of gender, age, was slaughtered by the Huns! The bloody smell soared into the sky, attracting countless vultures and crows circling in the sky. They would fly down as soon as these Huns left and they would eat.
If I were to catch those Han people, I would definitely make them suffer a hundred times, a thousand times more! The wailing sounds of these Qiang people before their death finally made the Bank of China feel better. He turned his horse's head and ordered, "Take all the horses they can run! Let's go back!"
He was lucky enough to be in his heart. If he had a fast speed, he might be able to catch up with the Han delegation at the last moment. At that time, he would definitely let them learn about my methods!
After a moment, the galloping of thousands of horses shook the earth. The vultures hovering in the sky and the crows were frightened and flew upwards. Until the sound gradually stopped, they circled and pounced on the food they had longed for for a long time!
Outside another Qiang tribe, Li You was hesitantly looking at the Qiang captives! What should we do with them? If we let them go now, would we kill them all?
"Empress! It's time to cross the river!" Tang Yi's father jumped down from the sheepskin raft and urged. After a while, most of the supplies had been transported to the opposite side of the river. Now the six sheepskin rafts are enough to transport the remaining people at once!
