Chapter 83 The brutal Qin army
The fields were covered with corpses.
Wei Wuji counted about it and there were at least four or five hundred people, both elderly and children.
"Is this slaughtering that village?" Wei Wuji said intimately.
The dead bodies all over the ground have been killed for a long time and have attracted many flies after they rotted, making constant "buzzing" sounds.
At this time, Wang Xiu, who was following behind, rushed over and saw the scene in front of him, and widened his eyes.
Although Zhou De has died now, the ritual system he left behind was still preserved by the nations.
This kind of killing incident that destroys human nature is absolutely unacceptable to the world and will be despised by the whole world.
"Young Master, who can do this?" Wang Xiu said, and Zheng Dali, who was standing beside him, also looked excited.
The answer is self-evident. Depending on the degree of corruption in the body, you can infer how many days you have died.
Wei Wuji could not think of anyone else who had the ability a few days ago except for the Qin army who fled in panic.
"These damn Qin people!" Wei Wuji cursed.
This happened in the area occupied by the Wei State. If it was reported, the Wei State would definitely take the blame.
If Wei comes to memorize it, Wei Wuji can't escape. Who asked him to station Tielinyi?
"The Qin people are so cruel, they will be punished by God." Wang Xiu also said angrily. Even though he killed a lot of people himself, it was on the battlefield, either you die or I die.
"I will make them pay the price." Wei Wuji said with a gloomy face.
Turning around, Wei Wuji said to the soldiers, "In this weather, if the corpses are allowed to corrupt, it may cause an epidemic. You should find some firewood and burn them all."
"As for the order." The Wei soldiers answered one by one, and then rode their horses around and scattered.
Looking at the body in front of him, Wei Wuji bowed silently in his heart, as if he was silent for them.
I did a good thing, so I'll help them get buried! Wei Wuji said intimately. After all, cremation is also a high-level funeral.
But not long after, a cavalry came back from a horse, driving away a few ragged mountain people in front of him.
"Kneel down!"
When he came to Wei Wuji, soldiers scolded the mountain people.
"What's going on?" Wei Wuji asked.
"Report to the young master, these people are hiding not far away and sneaking, so we will capture them." The cavalryman replied.
Wei Wuji turned his gaze to the mountain people kneeling down and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? What are you hiding there?"
These mountain people were frightened by this situation and could not even speak a word.
"If you don't say anything, I'll kill you!" Zheng Dali, who was on the side, angrily scolded, and he was anxious when he saw it.
The scare worked, and saw the man kneeling in front of him trembling and stuttering, "We are... people from Shangxi Village, come here to collect... the corpses from the village."
"You mean that these people who died are all from your village?" Wei Wuji leaned over and asked.
"Yes." The mountain man replied.
"How did they die?" Wei Wuji asked, and comforted him again, "You should tell me carefully, don't be afraid, we are here to help you."
This made these people feel a little more at ease, but they still couldn't change their words and stutter.
The general meaning is that six days ago, an army entered Shangxi Village and asked the villagers to hand over all the food.
The villagers naturally refused and injured the soldiers who came to collect, which made them poke the hornet's nest.
At that time, the general was furious and directly instigated the soldiers to plunder and killed all the villagers. Now, the few people who were lucky enough to escape from the devil's claws when they caught Wei Wuji.
The general was naturally Zhai Quan, and the army that burned, killed and robbed was the Qin army. From the entire incident, it can be inferred that the Qin people's food and supplies should be in urgent need of food and grass.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so crazy. How much can a village rob? You know, it's summer now, and each family doesn't have much food to store.
This also means that there must be other villages that will be attacked, otherwise it will be difficult for the Qin soldiers to meet their needs. They will have more than a thousand mouths and must maintain their combat effectiveness at all times.
"Do you know where those Qin people went?" Wei Wuji asked the survivors in front of him.
These people shook their heads directly. If they dared to follow, they would be afraid of their long lives.
From now on, they have only come to restrain their bodies, and they know their courage.
Wei Wuji shook his head in disappointment and was a pity that he could not directly ask about the traces of the Qin people.
"Where are going north, there are still villages?" Wei Wuji asked, pointing to the mountain.
"Reply to the general's words, there are... several villages inside." The mountain man stuttered.
Now Wei Wuji felt hope again. Most of the Qin people went along the direction of the village, and the direction of the search became clear.
Wei Wuji was in a better mood and finally no longer had to go around.
Seeing that these people who escaped death were also pitiful, Wei Wuji ordered Zheng Dali, "Leave them some food, even if it is a reward!"
It was rare that Wei Wuji showed great compassion, and Zheng Dali responded and left.
Wei Wuji said to the people in front of him again, "We are the army of Wei, we are here to protect you, and we are here to help you fight the group of jackal-like Qin troops."
"Don't be afraid, we will avenge you." Wei Wuji finally finished speaking.
These mountain people kowtowed repeatedly and kept saying some rumbling words. It seemed that they were thanking Wei Wuji, but they were excited and incoherent.
After leaving the wilderness, Wei Wuji led his team back to the large army, and then led his soldiers to the deeper mountains.
Their goal is the next robbed village, and by doing so, they gradually narrowed the distance with the Qin people.
Sure enough, every time you walk out for seven or eight miles, you will encounter a village.
As Wei Wuji expected, most of these villages were robbed by the Qin people, but some of them were slaughtered by the current affairs and were not slaughtered.
Step by step, the most remote mountain village under Tielinyi appeared in front of Wei Wuji.
This is the last stop, and if you don’t get any useful news, the clues will be cut off.
Like the ones I encountered before, this village was also empty and was snatched away by the Qin people.
But they were lucky and did not suffer a large-scale massacre, but it was not easy to survive the hunger of the next few months.
On the way, Wei Wuji would announce that he was practicing the way for heaven and avenge the villagers, and set up the sign of the savior.
After time fermented, Wei Wuji could believe that these people would spread his achievements and slowly restore his reputation.
From this last village, Wei Wuji gathered people again to inquire about the whereabouts of the Qin people.
"Do you know where that group of robbers fled?" Wei Wuji asked the man.
The villagers were frightened by the swords and guns in front of them, so what else could they say was just their bodies trembled.
Wei Wuji didn't want to waste time like this anymore and asked directly, "We are here to avenge you, don't be afraid, tell us the traces of those robbers."
Originally, Wei Wuji thought he would have to comfort him well, but when he heard about revenge, some villagers bravely responded.
"Report to the general, the Qin people are in the Chayun Gorge deep in the mountains."
Wei Wuji jumped off his horse and walked into the man, "Are you saying true?"
The man said tremblingly, "The grass people dare not say a word."
"Okay!" Wei Wuji brushed his palm and laughed.
It was really hard to find the whereabouts of the Qin army, but it took no time to find it. Now I finally found the whereabouts of the Qin army.
"You will take us here tomorrow morning. If you find the Qin people, I will never be reluctant to give me rewards." Wei Wuji said to the villagers.
The man quickly knocked his head down again and thanked Wei Wuji for his gratitude.
As for why we didn’t go to suppress the bandits today, we really rushed a lot today. Now the sky is over, and it is not enough to start the battle.
Wei Wuji felt that it would be better to fix it and take down the Qin army in one go.
