In a small village with dozens of households, Shen Tang saw with his own eyes the sun-exposed skeletons in the wilderness next to the village! Under the sun, the old man leaning against the tree was completely black, and his exposed palms were like shriveled chicken feet! There are occasionally children, but they are all skinny and there is no trace of color on their faces! Survival here is already a luxury...
"Drive, drive, drive..."
The hurried sound of horse hooves woke up Shen Tang. Looking around, as a cloud of smoke and dust fell, a group of Jin cavalry broke into this small village.
Perhaps the impression of fear in his mind was too deep, so the sudden intrusion of the Jin soldiers made this peaceful village suddenly become noisy and chaotic.
There were two to three hundred soldiers in this group. They didn't care about the life or death of the elderly or even the children on the roadside. They just rode their horses and whipped their whips!
"What are they going to do!" Shen Tang's eyes were splitting with anger!
However, what answered him was endless silence from everyone!
Compared with the hundreds of knights, this village with only a few dozen households was obviously too small, but within a quarter of an hour, the scattered knights gathered towards the entrance of the village again.
And in the hands of some knights, they were holding long ropes, and the other end of the rope was actually tied around the necks of some people. Most of these people were thin men.
They didn't care about the life or death of these people at all, and directly drove these men to leave bloody marks on the ground!
"brute!"
Shen Tang hit the cart next to him with one hand, and his hand was dripping with blood, but then his hand grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist!
"grown ups!"
The next moment, a hand grabbed his wrist! Shen Tang's bloody eyes saw that it was Lei Quan.
"I'm going to kill these beasts! They don't deserve to live in this world!" Shen Tang shouted sharply through gritted teeth.
"They have more than 200 cavalry, and we only have 20! Moreover, this is only part of a thousand-man team. It only takes a stick of incense for the other people to arrive! If we have more than a hundred cavalry here, We can still fight them. However, with our current power, we can't change anything except to die."
"But, are we just going to watch these beasts slaughter the people of our Song Dynasty?" Shen Tang growled.
Lei Quan was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "Your Majesty, you should believe that everyone here is just like you, wishing to anger these devils. But we need to retain our strength and not do unnecessary things. Death! Every wastage of strength is a loss for the Song Dynasty."
"We can grit our teeth and rush forward, kill a few Jin soldiers, and then be killed by them! However, given the right opportunity, we can kill thousands or even more Jin soldiers!"
"Sir, we have watched our brother Pao Ze die in front of our eyes countless times! However, in order to complete the task, we can only remain indifferent! We are not cold-blooded, nor are we without hatred, but we know that we must Only by using our hatred in the most appropriate place can it have a greater effect on our Song Dynasty!"
Lei Quan's words did not extinguish the hatred in Shen Tang's heart, but they gave him some sense! Although his heart was still bleeding, he also understood the deep meaning of Lei Quan's words.
"Moreover, Sir, as the Lord, you sometimes represent not only yourself, but also the lives of many people. If you are impulsive now, you will lose all of our lives. If you are impulsive in the future, maybe, More people will die because of your impulse! If you want to change everything in front of you, you must keep a clear head no matter where you are, and then take the people with lofty ideals and countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty to Save more people of the Song Dynasty..."
Shen Tang gritted his teeth, but finally nodded. How could he not understand these truths, but how could the scene in front of him make him feel at ease?
"Sir, let's go. When one day we have enough strength, we will come back and return all the cruelty to them. This can also comfort the countless people of the Song Dynasty who died!"
Shen Tang was silent for a moment, but then he shook his head vigorously, "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive anymore. However, I want to engrave the scene in front of me in my heart and remember it forever!"
Lei Quan and others hesitated slightly, but did not stop him.
Although the next thing will be more cruel, Shen Tang, as the commander of the Beiwei Army, is something he must accept and endure. If he can't bear what he is seeing, then the eight hundred Beiwei's How can you follow him with confidence if you don't have the strength?
In the small village, all the villagers, whether they were children learning to talk or old women with pale temples, were all driven to the entrance of the village.
A dilapidated wheel about four feet high was erected in front of everyone.
Then, a man who was dragged in was leaned on the wheel. A soldier jumped off the horse, drew out his scimitar, and slashed him down - this was the inhumane wheel beheading performed by the Mongolian tribes! Any enemy who passed the wheel would be killed. After being beheaded, only children or women will be left behind for their lustful pleasure and driving!
Blood ripples sprayed out, staining the wheels, and also made Shen Tang's eyes red!
There was blood in his eyes, and veins popped out on his forehead! One hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and the other hand tightly grasped Che Bang, and the fingertips... blood dripped!
Humans are worse than animals!
When this scene really unfolded before Shen Tang's eyes, he finally understood what cruelty in the world really is! He also understood why Yue Fei and Yue Pengju twenty years ago roared: "Aspirations are hungry, eat Hulu meat, laugh and talk about thirst" The words "drink the blood of the Huns"! Because, if it were possible, at this moment, he could not wait to kill the flesh and blood of these beasts!
The fact that they live in this world is the tragedy of this land, and they are not worthy of being human at all.
The heads rolled down and blood seeped into the ground! Looking up, the sun was shining high in the sky! It's a pity that this bright sun cannot illuminate the world!
An old man with gray hair suddenly broke free from the rope and stared at the soldiers in front of him with a pair of bloody eyes! He said hoarsely, "I... I wanted to call you a beast in your clothes, but I'm afraid that you will pollute the nature of the beast. You We are worse than animals! We, China, have been tolerant and merciful for thousands of years. How did we interact with you in the prosperous Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago? None of your clothes and tea books have the imprint of my Chinese customs? Look at you, today we rely on A sharp weapon, but it slaughters virtuous friends like cattle and sheep! I have billions of people in the Song Dynasty, can you kill them? In the future, how will your descendants make friends with all living beings in this world? Who can still trust you?"
"Today, all our families in Shanhe Village have been wiped out. However, your actions have also left behind eternal sins for your descendants that will never be washed away!"
After he finished speaking, before the soldier could strike with his machete, the old man smiled hastily and stepped into the burning fire next to him.
