The haggard woman pounced on the little boy's body, her beautiful face immediately covered with tears.
Naturally, the ruthless soldier had no sympathy for this family. After a while, the candle in front of the window flickered a few times, and the owner of this dilapidated hut could no longer make any sound.
"quick!"
"Bring all the food here!"
Outside the hut and beyond the area of a dozen loose dwellings, there were open spaces covered with grass everywhere. A group of soldiers gathered there and were stacking together the food they had snatched from the poor villagers.
Behind them, pitiful moans could be heard from time to time in the thatched houses, and all the people in the houses who could still resist were killed by them.
"That's it?"
"Not even two days is enough!"
Kodak kicked the pot hard, and the rice with its shell shook a few times.
Such ferocious soldiers were certainly not from the Jin army. These men who committed crimes at night were none other than the Di Qin squad that had been ambushing near Xiaozha for many days.
Three days have passed since the last time they clamored for food. This group of Di and Qin soldiers who were preparing to intercept the Jin army's food route not only did not wait for a Jin army to arrive, but instead ate all the food they carried.
Facing a difficult situation, General Kodak finally used his trump card.
Grab food!
There were many people and horses in Victory Fort, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he pulled his team to the west of Victory Fort and plundered people's houses.
In such troubled times, logically speaking, the scattered villagers cannot survive at all. They will either be captured in Xiangyang City or absorbed by Victory Fort.
But the current situation is also somewhat special. These villagers were originally residents of the Victory Fort and accepted the jurisdiction of the Fort.
Now living outside the fort is all arranged by the fort owner Liu Fang.
There was a lot of open space outside the Victory Fort, with abundant water and grass. Liu Fang seized the opportunity and sent a wave of fort residents out of the city to settle down around the Victory Fort, specifically responsible for raising horses and livestock.
In the past, Victory Fort had a good relationship with the Di Qin garrison in Xiangyang City. After these horses were bred, they would often not belong exclusively to Victory Fort, and Fu Rui would also happily accept some of them.
Therefore, the people of the fort raised horses and lived here, and the Qin army did not attack them in autumn.
However, with the war approaching, such peace could not be maintained. Kodak led his soldiers and looted all the villagers' food, grass, horses, pigs and chickens.
After grabbing the ready-made food, they were still very dissatisfied. They thought the food was too little and they couldn't eat it for a few days.
Cursing and cursing, he wished that the villagers in the thatched hut could become livestock and provide them with food and drink.
…………
"Team leader!"
"Look, are those Di people?"
Just when the Di Qin soldiers were satisfied and finally grabbed the food, Cao Qing also rushed here with his soldiers.
What does it mean to come early rather than come in time? Just look at the situation at this time and you will know.
The Di people all wore bright armor and were equipped with weapons. You can identify them without looking closely.
Cao Qing secretly screamed, for the unfortunate villagers who were plundered, and for his own fate.
"Team leader, we have to take action!"
"Kill these Suolu!"
The Di people and the Jin people were in the same situation. When they saw them, they wanted to get rid of them quickly. Now these Di people also robbed the villagers' food. They were so unscrupulous that the Jin soldiers behind Cao Qing had already clenched their fists.
How could such a thing happen?
Today's luck is really unlucky. Just like what the soldier said, shouldn't we march at night?
Right in front of their eyes, those villagers who were obviously dressed as Han people were bullied and killed by Di Qin soldiers. As a soldier of Beifu, Cao Qing was also angry.
However, he still hesitated a little. Looking back, he saw that the soldiers behind him were only a hundred people. They had all traveled a long distance from the intestines to get here, and they were exhausted physically and mentally.
However, looking at the formation of the Di people, it seems that their numbers are not inferior to that of the Jin army. Ever since Cao Qing took command of this small team, his only wish was to preserve his strength and not to lose his life.
It's a pity that God just won't let him slide easily.
"Team leader, please stop hesitating!"
"Didn't the team leader always want to get some cheap military exploits?"
"Now is the opportunity. While there are few of them, we can rush and kill them and avenge the villagers!"
Cao Qing and the others hid in the dark and watched secretly. Seeing that the Di people were about to finish counting the grain and leave with their livestock and grain, the soldiers became extremely anxious and tried their best to encourage Cao Qing.
Various reasons were laid out over and over again, and soon Cao Qing was confused by them.
Grit your teeth and be determined!
"right!"
"Making great achievements is only possible now!"
Once he entered a fighting state, Cao Qing's shrewd mind came back.
He took a closer look and saw that among the plunder of the Di Qin soldiers, there were several war horses, which should have been raised by the villagers.
These are all good things. When the strength of the enemy and ourselves is about the same, if we can grab these horses, it will not be a problem to strangle the Qin soldiers.
The most important thing is that these horses are all saddled!
It’s just God helping me!
"Remember, don't go head-to-head with the Qin soldiers. Our martial arts can't match them."
"What should we do?" The soldiers looked anxious, but Cao Qing found the feeling at this moment, and said calmly: "First seize the horse, and then kill!"
Grab the horse!
Killer!
In the eyes of the Jin army, blazing fire was burning, and the Qin soldiers relied on their strength. Just now they had achieved the results they wanted without any effort, plundering all the villagers' few belongings.
Most of the villagers who were still able to resist were killed by them. As far as the eye could see, there was no longer any threat within a mile radius.
The Qin soldiers were very proud, shouting and shouting loudly, showing off their brutality and arrogance.
Since there is no threat, there is no need to be alert.
The plundered war horses were not held in the hands, but were temporarily tied to wooden stakes. The horses' hooves kept pacing and neighed repeatedly.
Some horses struggled fiercely and even ran away.
Cao Qing saw the opportunity and waved his hand.
"superior!"
Before he finished speaking, the Jin troops rushed out like arrows!
Crack!
Whoosh whoosh!
When it comes to fighting, Cao Qing doesn't give in too much. Although saving his life is the most important thing on a daily basis, when it comes to fighting, Cao Qing is definitely a quick mover.
There was a whirlwind trot, and he rushed to the front. Before the Jin army could react, he was the first to rush to the horse bolt, waved his long knife, and slashed hard.
The long horse's rein broke and was thrown several times towards the thick ink sky, making a whooshing sound.
This cut was so powerful that five or six war horses were immediately freed at the same time. Cao Qingzhen had already captured a few soldiers, and he jumped to control the horses.
This set of coordination was precise and fast. The Qin soldiers, who were so powerful but had not yet had the addiction to show off their ferocity, did not react until Cao Qing cut off the reins and the horses neighed.
