The fire burning on the bodies of the father and son gradually extinguished, and the smell of burnt skin and flesh mixed with the clothes was extremely unpleasant, but it quickly dissipated with the wind.
Zhu Xiangyu tightened his cloak and shouted sharply to the crowd again.
"It is none of my business that you starve to death and freeze to death. I only ask you one question: hand over all the food, hand it over, or not?'
No one dared to answer. If all the food was handed over, wouldn't it be equivalent to starving the whole family to death? Who knows how long this blizzard will last?
The feeling of starvation is unpleasant, and no one wants to do it. Of course, the most important thing is that the people in the town are rich, and almost no one has received the military rations, so they feel unfair!
"Should we hand it over?" Zhu Xiangyu didn't care about this. He took his subordinate's torch and raised it high, and said fiercely, "If you don't hand over it, that father and son will be your fate."
As soon as he said this, all his subordinates raised their torches, ready to throw them into the crowd at any time.
At this time, someone in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out angrily.
"General Zhu, you are soldiers who protect your home and country, not robbers. You can ask us to donate rice and food, but how can you use robbery like this?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, a deputy general quickly swept into the crowd, accurately picked up a young man, and threw him in front of Zhu Xiangyu.
"Is that what you said just now?" Zhu Xiangyu stepped heavily on the man's chest.
"Yes, that's what I said." The man didn't deny it, and said as if he was dead, "But am I wrong? What's the difference between you burning, killing and looting like this and bandits?'
"Do you need to tell me whether I am a robber or not?" Zhu Xiangyu stared at the man on the ground like a poisonous snake, "If you dare to contradict me, you will die." After saying this, Zhu Xiangyu kicked the young man away, and at the same time, the torch fell on him.
on the body.
The man was in the sea of fire but still screamed with grief and anger.
"Ah~~ You group of robbers, you group of robbers, you will not die in peace!'
"Folks, if you hand over the food, you will be helping the evil tyrants. Even if we die, we will not let these evil thieves succeed in robbing our homes.
"Night King~~The Night King's troops will come to deal with you soon. Just wait.'
As the flames intensified, the man's screams and curses were drowned in the sea of flames.
Seeing a living human life being lost by his own hands, Zhu Xiangyu had no expression on his face, and even had a smile on his lips.
He yelled at everyone again.
"Who else doesn't want to pay the grain? Come forward for me, don't waste my torch."
No one dared to say anything anymore, and the whole place was silent.
"Sir General, the common people are willing to hand over all the food." The townspeople were frightened and took the initiative to donate food.
Zhu Xiangyu raised his vicious lips and warned loudly.
"I have put my words here. If any family dares to keep a grain of rice privately, if I find out, the whole family will be executed."
"Yes, General, the common people don't dare." The townspeople have seen Zhu Xiangyu's methods, who dares to say no?
Zhu Xiang glanced at everyone with satisfaction and spoke loudly.
"Then you go back now and transport the food to my military camp overnight."
"Remember, this general will send someone to register in the town. If anyone dares to act carelessly, you should know what will happen."
"Yes, General." Everyone responded helplessly, and then hurried home to collect food.
Not long after, someone drove a carriage and took the cattle and sheep out of the town, and hurried to the military camp under the moonlight.
Zhu Xiangyu, on the other hand, took several of his men and continued to rush to the next village and town by moonlight.
On the way, the deputy general flattered Zhu Xiangyu with admiration.
"The general's idea is really brilliant. In this way, not only the army rations, but also the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep will be offered. It will be more abundant than our own army rations.'
Another deputy general said, "If this happens, our reputation may not be as good as that of the Night King."
"Fame is nothing!" Zhu Xiangzhu wrapped his black fox cloak tightly around his body and smiled disapprovingly, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as I win this battle, I will be the number one in the Zhou Kingdom."
Do you understand that for a great hero, his faults cannot be concealed?"
"Hey, boss, this idiom is very clever." "The deputy general continues to flatter me.
Zhu Xiangyu became more and more proud, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"We have too many untouchables like this in the Zhou Kingdom. If half of them die, how can we still be short of food?
"Don't talk so much nonsense to them in the next village. Just tie up the villagers, pour kerosene on them and set them on fire!"
"Not bad, not bad. They all rush together like a firecracker and light the fire directly. It must be a spectacular scene, hahaha."
As soon as I heard about the murders of these villains, I became excited, and they all looked uplifted.
Zhu Xiangyu also laughed loudly. These ruthless bandits who regard human life as nothing are very perverted.
Just as he was talking proudly, suddenly a soldier hurriedly caught up with him from behind.
"General, General, there seems to be a fire over there in the southeast. The flames are so high that I don't know what happened."
Zhu Xiangyu and others hurriedly turned around and saw fire rising into the sky from the southeast side of the river.
"No." Zhu Xiangyu's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Could it be that the place on fire was our military camp?"
"It's a bit like it, general." The deputy general's heart suddenly jumped up, and he felt very bad in his heart, but he still comforted Zhu Xiangyu and said, "General, don't be afraid, the general is here, and he will handle it properly even if something happens.
'
Another lieutenant general also hurriedly said, "The gang of bastards guarding the river are burning bonfires every day and night. Maybe there is a problem with the burning and the water is leaking."
"They must have escaped." Zhu Xiangyu also comforted himself and then gritted his teeth, "If these damn things burn down the military camp and wait until this battle is over, I will definitely destroy their entire clan.
"General." The subordinate turned around and pointed forward. "Put this aside for now. We are about to enter the village. First, burn all the people in this village to death to dispel their anger."
"Okay, let's go." The group of people had not gone far when suddenly the soldiers following behind began to become confused again, exclaiming from time to time.
"General, General, there is also a raging fire burning due south. It looks like it is over there at our main camp."
Zhu Xiangyu was no longer calm now, his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he hurriedly turned around.
When he turned around, he saw the flames suddenly bursting out in the direction of the southwest military camp. Three flames shot up into the sky from three directions, reflecting half of the sky red in the snowy light.
It’s over!
Zhu Xiangyu's hands, feet and even his whole body suddenly became tense. He couldn't react for a moment and froze on the spot.
"This~~ General, could it be possible that all three places were compromised?
"Pa~~" Before the deputy general finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Zhu Xiangyu and cursed, "Are you still deceiving yourself? The Night King came in and killed us by surprise. Hurry, return immediately. Drive~~"
As he spoke, he turned the horse's head and shot it out like an arrow in the horse's belly.
