In just one day's rest time, almost a blink of an eye, has passed.
Early in the morning of the third day, the heavy gathering drum beat in Dunhuang City. Countless soldiers had already joined the team under the leadership of their respective squad leaders and commanders, and were ready to be cleaned up.
Then, with Liu Hongji's order!
The dilapidated city gate of Dunhuang City was opened, and teams of soldiers came out one after another, heading towards Yumen Pass to the west!
A team of tens of thousands of people is like a giant dragon with its head but no tail, which is very long outside the city.
As the rear army, Xiao Han and Gouzi's reserve camp were almost at the end of the line.
After he left the city, he turned back to Dunhuang.
I saw the rising sun in the east shining on the city walls, illuminating the yellowish head of the city even more golden.
And in this golden yellow, there were still figures of people who were looking carefully at the gradually leaving team.
"Mr. Marquis, be careful of the way!"
Beside him, Xiaodong's voice came, waking up Xiao Han who was stunned and ecstatic.
Because he had arrived at the war zone, Xiao Han could no longer hide in the carriage, so the carriage was left in Dunhuang City, and he rode on horseback like other generals.
Just now, Xiaodong saw that Xiao Han suddenly became distracted and was afraid that he would fall down from the horse, so he quickly reminded him.
"It's okay, let's go."
Xiao Han was woken up by Xiaodong, but he just sighed lightly, and then he caught up with the team ahead without looking back.
For some reason, when he saw the figures on the city wall, he always felt extremely depressed in his heart!
Yumen Pass and Yang Pass are only more than one hundred miles away from Dunhuang City!
As two lonely passes alone in the desert that have been guarded by tens of thousands of acres, many of the soldiers there are from Dunhuang City.
Perhaps, those people on the top of the city are the parents, relatives and children of the generals who died in battle.
The army slowly moved forward.
Before coming to Dunhuang, the atmosphere in the army had quietly changed, becoming more solemn and solemn.
Even a lively treasure like Liu Li was rushing to the road at this moment, not saying a word, but his swollen head as if it were a pig's head, looked particularly awkward among the crowd.
In this way, the long team walked silently for most of the day. As the noon approached, Xiao Han suddenly felt that the team's speed had slowed down significantly, and then he stopped directly.
"What happened? How could I stop well! Have you encountered an enemy?" Xiao Han frowned and looked forward.
"I didn't hear the war drum. I probably didn't encounter an enemy, it seemed like I had encountered a village ahead!"
Beside Xiao Han, Xiaodong set up a shed in his hand and looked far away. While looking, he did not forget to explain to Xiao Han.
However, Xiao Han has always had good eyesight. Even though he was too lazy to take out the telescope, he saw that the front of the team had really entered a village!
"Why don't you walk on the road well and have to turn into a village?"
It’s no wonder Xiao Han was puzzled. On the way westward, there were countless villages they encountered!
But if it weren't for the need for water supply, I wouldn't have been troubled by the people in these villages.
And this time, they came out of Dunhuang City, so naturally they didn’t need to replenish water. Why did Liu Hongji enter this small village?
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Fortunately, the congested team did not stop for long and moved slowly again. Although the speed this time was obviously much slower than at the beginning, it still moved.
Xiao Han was in the rear army. Although he felt strange about this, he didn't say anything. He just followed the team and leaned towards the village.
Finally, after more than half an hour, Xiao Han's rear army also arrived near the village.
But when they could see a corner of this village clearly, Xiao Han's heart suddenly grabbed!
What kind of village is this?!
He couldn't see clearly before
But now that I have arrived in front of me, Xiao Han discovered that this village was actually a deserted village!
There are ruins everywhere in the village! There are traces of burning by fire everywhere, and even the air is filled with indescribable burnt smell!
Many houses that looked quite new were also burned by the fire to remove the roof beams, leaving only lonely walls standing there.
"What's wrong with this?"
"Is this a fire?"
The soldiers from the preparation camp looked around and murmured.
Suddenly, Lanzi pointed to one point suddenly and breathed heavily and shouted, "No, Marquis, look over there!"
When Xiao Han heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at the position of Langzi's finger!
And just this glance, his pupils suddenly contracted, and finally shrank like a needle!
Lengzi refers to several corpses in the middle of the village!
To be precise, there are several corpses burned by the fire!
I don’t know how long these corpses have been there. The fire has burned them to carbonize, but they still maintain their posture during their lifetime.
This is a family, no matter how Xiao Han saw it, he just knew that this must be a family!
The two adults stretched out their arms and held the three and a half-aged children desperately in their arms, hoping to use their bodies to resist the fire for the three children so as to protect them from harm.
But the fire under them finally swallowed them ruthlessly, leaving only the nearly carbonized corpses, telling their unwillingness and despair.
"This group of beasts!!!"
Seeing this tragic scene, Liu Li's eyes quickly turned red!
Looking at the carbon ash surrounding the corpse, it was obvious that someone specially built a pile of firewood and drove the poor family inside, so that they could burn it to death to make fun!
Even Liu Li could hear: the crazy laughter made by those beasts when they surrounded the fire!
"return!"
Just as Liu Li rushed out of the team, an iron hoop-like hand tightly clamped Liu Li's shoulders to prevent him from rushing out of the team!
"Get out! I'm going to kill these beasts!" Liu Li's eyes were bloody and he turned around and was about to shake the man who was holding his shoulder, but suddenly he found that the person who was holding him turned out to be a serious guard beside Xiao Han who never smiled.
!
"Marty..."
It was Xiao Han who found that it was Xiao Han who blocked him. The blood in Liu Li's eyes was rapid, but the violent ups and downs of his chest showed that the anger in his heart was still not reduced at all!
"You want to kill them? Where to kill? How to kill?"
Xiao Han had already jumped off his horse at this time. He slowly came to Liu Li, looked at the other person's eyes, and asked in a cold tone.
"Hmm?" Liu Li was stunned.
Chapter completed!
