Chapter 7 The Howling of the Wolf
The night was deep, and the red red climbed into the sky. The burning house could not bear it. It collapsed in a sudden burst of rage. The debris of flames spread to the ground. Blood spread in the soil. Screaming in panic. The figures of riding a horse and waving a knife were intertwined and mixed in the flames. A child, a five or six, was covered in horror on his face and sat in front of a corpse. Not far away, a Han woman struggled to be carried by the Huns in a fur coat and felt hat, and then threw them under a ruined wall, tearing off the clothes hideously. The woman screamed heart-wrenchingly.
Hearing the mother's scream, the child got up and ran towards the ruins, stretched out his young arm, and cried and shouted: "Mom...Mom..."
"Don't come here!!" the woman struggled and raised her head and shouted.
With a snap.
She was slapped on her face, and her clothes were torn apart, revealing her shriveled chest. The woman was still struggling, her eyes closed and she burst into tears. She kept waving her arms at the staggering figure, begging the Huns above: "Don't hurt him...I won't move anymore...Don't harm his life...Please."
The Hun turned his head and looked at the figure trotting over, pulled up the blade on the ground, and smiled cruelly, as if he had found something more fun. He temporarily let go of the white body beneath him. When he took half a step, his hands were hugged from behind. The woman shook her head and begged. The figure with the knife raised her leg and kicked her, raised her arm, and suddenly waved it and slashed it on the woman's neck.
Whoosh-
There was a slight sound of arrows flying by in the air. The Hun turned around and a feather arrow penetrated through his chest, nailed to the residual wall behind the body. The tail feather was still shaking slightly, dripping blood on the bricks and tiles.
The woman hurriedly hugged the child running. In her vision, a figure in a blue-robed beast-headed armor set off a bow and changed his sword and rode his horse and flicked over from the flames. With a muffled sound, a Hun who was dismounting and robbing was knocked out by a huge rushing horse. Blood spurted out and rolled out twice before stopping.
Herody's Law—
The reins in his hand were pulled, and the war horse neighed, and stood up high. The figure of the beast-headed bronze armor on the horse's back slashed the Huns, and the heads of the people and the horse were cut horizontally. The plasma rushed into the sky, and the corpse rushed to the ground and rolled into the wooden house burning with fire. Countless sparks and burnt wood splashed.
The person who came was thunderous, and his voice was like thunder: "Fight quickly and decide--"
Behind him, the fighting screams suddenly erupted, hundreds of figures approached from the village, and the figures of Han soldiers made response sounds, like rolling waves, roaring: "Kill--"
There were not many Huns robbing this village. At this time, the other party was suddenly surrounded in an unknown number of people. Without having time to throw away the robbed food in his hand, the beast's Hun soldiers hurriedly collided with the Han soldiers and were instantly overturned to the ground. They were chopped to death in a pool of blood. The Han general who was riding a horse in the crowd was Zhang Liao who asked for his orders. After slashing his sword, he cut off a body that wanted to climb onto the horse's back. Several Hun knights bent their bows and arrows on the side shot him.
可以可—
When Zhang Liao waved his long sword and drove the arrows down, more than ten Han soldiers pulled the Hun knights off the horse from behind and poked them to death in anger. There were only a few Huns around him who ran away on horseback. Some people wanted to chase after him, but Zhang Wenyuan stopped him.
"We have few horses..." He tightened the hilt of the knife, "Let's go to the next village..." Then, he took a deep breath, "How many people can you save?"
The Huns actually started to move south in the afternoon, but in the evening, it spread to the vicinity of Yanmen County. He learned from the prefect Guo Zhi that among the most severely affected areas, Dai County was the closest to it. At this time, I was afraid that it was almost dawn.
"We go north to Dai County..." Zhang Liao tied the reins and his voice rang in the dark: "If you are afraid of death, don't come!"
Hundreds of soldiers looked at the figures that were sank into the darkness. Some of them hesitated for a while, but they followed behind. Under the stars, the clouds in the east gradually turned white.
He knew that there were many places like this... and were suffering from inhumane robbery.
******************************************************
The wind blowing through the grass came a smell of burnt smell. The sun rose in the sky, and the birds were hovering like frightened, turning around and flying away.
Boom-
The horse's hooves were galloping, and hundreds of war horses stepped across the yellowing grassland. The rabbit, who was eating green grass, hurriedly turned over and ran back. The moment they drilled into the hole, the horse's hooves had already stepped over it.
Gao Sheng walked around the middle of the cavalry team, side by side near Gongsun Zhi, looked back and saw a white shadow hanging from the back of the team, "Chief, I have said something to me for a long time."
"Say." As he was running, Gongsun Zhi glanced at him.
"How did you talk to the wolf..." After Gao Sheng asked a question, he felt a little regretful. On the side, his knotted hair was facing the wind, and Gongsun Zhi still looked expressionless, as if he didn't care about this problem.
He yelled, and the horses under his seat slowed down and said, "If you deal with wolves all year round, observe their communication, call on how your companions roar, and how the wolf king commands the wolf pack to make another sound, you will also..."
Halfway through his words, Gongsun Zhi suddenly turned his face forward and raised his arms: "Everyone stopped—" The voice was loud, and the hundreds of horse thieves behind him pulled the reins and lowered their speed.
At this moment, he turned his head and said to the side, "Do you smell anything?"
"Taste?" Gao Sheng suffocated his nose and frowned: "It seems to be burnt wood... and... the stinky smell of the meat burnt..."
"Let's take a look ahead!"
Gongsun Zhi whipped the horse's hooves again and entered the Dai County area. Soon, a faint black smoke from the woods under the hills ahead floated into the sky, and there was a pungent smell in the air.
A few corpses floated in the pool beside the forest, and with the waves of water, the bright red color swayed on the mud and sand on the shore. Everyone rode their horses and took a look. The corpses were not unfamiliar to them, but judging from the costumes of the corpses on the water, the crude and simple Maiyi should be an ordinary person. Gongsun Zhi closed his lips tightly and did not speak. Following the road beside the pond, he rode into the woods. Then he saw one head with fear, with wide open mouths hanging on the branches, with children hanging on the branches.
Walking through this terrifying path in the forest, the vision became clear and enlarged in front of it. The burnt wooden beams were weakly placed on a broken earth wall. More than ten headless corpses overlapped in black, as if they were burned down by someone. Several flames that had not yet been extinguished made a sizzling sound on the oil.
Shocking.
"It's not a robber..." Gao Sheng didn't feel much about this scene. During the Yellow Turban period, he had seen many more miserable things than this. After a moment of silence, he said: "Bandits will not kill people, otherwise it would be like a way to die."
Some horse thieves also found that most of the dead were elderly people and children, and they rarely saw women and young men. Gongsun Zhi pulled the reins and turned the horse's head. In his fierce sight, he saw a small flag moving slowly on the phantom map. The next second, he shouted loudly: "Everyone comes with me and kills the Huns--"
Shortly after rushing out of the woods, he put the wolf's throat hidden in the cloak into his mouth and roared towards the rising sun.
Wow... Ao--
