Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 60 Brutal massacre (two chapters in one)
Zheng Quchi had lived in a peaceful and prosperous world for more than [-] years, and this was the first time he encountered such a thing as an enemy attack.

Before she even had a chance to come up with a set of coping methods, she was led away by the people around her, and the atmosphere fermented by tension and terror was like boiling water under her feet, so hot that she couldn't stay in place, she had to Take action.

But she saw a stream of arrows flying through the intertwined heads, and shot into her feet with a "swoosh".

The worker's eyes widened, and he was extremely angry: "This damn barbarian is so fast!"

Zheng Quchi felt a little numb all over, and her heart was raised in her throat, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

The soldiers waved and started to run. He was trembling all over and his teeth chattered: "Run up the mountain quickly! Don't gather together, disperse!"

There are more than a hundred stonemasons in the quarry. They put down their tools with pale faces, and ran towards the rugged hills in a panic.

If you don’t choose open mountain roads and flat land, it’s too easy to expose your vision, and it’s also easy to be overtaken by cavalry barbarians.

Fu County was originally located in a border pass, and many people have seen the ferocity of the Ganyi barbarians. They control a large area of ​​grassland in the west and are good at casting iron.

Ganyi savages are greedy and brutal by nature, and it is rumored that they still have wolf genes, so every time they launch a large-scale looting, they like to bleed and cut off the heads of the Central Plains people, showing their bloody and brutal side.

They would also hang the heads of civilians in Ye State on their horses, wolf flags, and waists to show off their achievements.

Before Yu Wensheng became famous in the Seven Kingdoms War, the barbarians of Ganyi almost regarded Fu County and even the western part of Ye Kingdom as their "sheep pens", and would come to invade every autumn when the fruits are abundant. Follow hunting and hunting.

Zheng Quchi fled with them like a lost soul. People are always used to imitating strange things, and so is she.

Having never encountered a group escape, she subconsciously climbed up the mountain with others. Along the way, her eyes were chaotic, but her ears could always hear various sounds sensitively.

There was the sound of wheezing, rustling and chaotic footsteps, the panic of the restless people ahead, and the shouting and shouting of the soldiers who dispersed the crowd...

Everyone was in a mess, including her.

People who are fleeing for their lives don't care about their image.

Seeing the halfway up the mountain, she couldn't control it because she was always holding her hand in the air, and turned her head to look north of the quarry, where the city wall was being built.

I saw that it had already been reduced to a scene of hell.

The laborers and craftsmen who had no time to escape were intercepted by the group of barbarians. There were only a few dozen people, but they chased and drove the hundreds of people like cattle and sheep, and when they screamed their necks in despair, they raised their knives kill.

They also set fire to the wooden boards erected under the city wall, preparing to destroy the construction work carried out in the past two days.

Zheng Quchi has very good eyesight, even at such a distance, she can clearly see the nomadic barbarians they are talking about.

Manzi is tall, at least one head longer than the average height of Ye Kingdom.

They have long, messy long hair, not braided or tied, but scattered wildly on their shoulders, especially their hair is lush, and almost all of their faces have savage beards. He looks like a savage drinking blood.

Indeed, as the government said, these barbarians were well-equipped, wearing Lin armor, sharp and light iron scimitars, and even the horses under their crotches were smooth and shiny horses.

Even though they were so far apart, the pitiful screams from below kept hitting her eardrums.

She saw those artisans and laborers who tried to escape and resisted were all beheaded by these barbarians cruelly and with a smile. There seemed to be a smelly and fishy smell in the air. That extremely disgusting scene , she just felt shocking.

"Run... run quickly..."

Zheng Quchi couldn't help gritting his teeth earnestly, seeing the unilateral and ruthless massacre below, obviously these barbarians were only dozens of cavalry, but there were so many of them, but none of them could muster up the courage to fight, to fight desperately, go to union.

It's like... They were scared out of their wits from the very beginning, and they never thought about fighting back.

"Ge, the barbarians are not limited to the cavalry team, they have another group chasing after them, don't stop, run away!"

There was a loud shout in front of a mansion soldier. When he stood on a high stone and looked down the mountain, he found the worst situation.

Zheng Quchi was startled, and looked down the mountain, only to see that there were dozens of these barbarians, all of them were archers, wearing leather jackets and carrying arrows on their backs, they shot at the people on the mountain with their bows.

Many people were shot in the back, and they rolled down with a howl of pain, and the sound of barbarians laughing triumphantly came from below.

Her fingertips pierced into the flesh, her eyes were red, her heartbroken panic and panic were completely burned away by this anger.

At this time, an arrow was shot at her from behind. Zheng Quchi's dynamic vision was superb, perhaps because of the achievements of "Sang Xuanqing" in this life who practiced archery since she was a child. She caught the trajectory of the flying arrow and was about to dodge it. He was thrown to the ground even faster by a figure.

Zheng Quchi raised his eyes in surprise, but met a pair of familiar eyes.

"Autumn?"

She hadn't expected it to be him at all.

Qiu's face was smeared with some black oil, his whole appearance was quite different from before, and he didn't know where he had hidden himself for so long.

"Ah."

Zheng Quchi's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, like fireballs burning among thorns: "Qiu! Have you brought a crossbow?"

Qiu glanced at the back, and said, "Ruler, if you expose your archery skills here, no one will appreciate you afterwards, and you will be arrested and judged as a suspicious person."

"But……"

Qiu pulled her up, eyes sharp as an eagle, and began to search for a safe route: "I didn't bring a crossbow, and I won't let you save anyone."

"But let these savages kill so recklessly?"

"The strong humiliate the weak, this has been the case since ancient times!"

Qiu grabbed Zheng Quchi and continued to climb up the mountain. Their movements were not slow, but the barbarians behind Ganyi moved even more nimbly. They were like natural fighters, with nimble limbs, and they rushed up with a menacing attack.

In particular, the range of arrows can shorten the distance, even if dozens of arrows are fired in volley, they can always aim at many fleeing figures.

Even Qiu broke a few arrows for her, but he was inevitably injured while looking after the two of them alone.

"Leave me alone. Let's run separately. I'll try my best to get into the dense forest, covered by trees. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to get rid of the hunting savages."

Zheng Quchi saw that he gave up absolute safety in order to protect her, but she didn't want to drag him down, let alone owe him favors, because their positions and goals were doomed from the beginning, and the two of them would not be friends in the future. will be the enemy.

Qiu turned a deaf ear to her words: "We are companions, and I will not leave you behind."

He thought for a while, and stopped dragging her away, but carried her on his back and rushed into the woods.

Running away is not an option, he plans to carry out a fatal counter-kill after going deep into the hinterland.

Qiu's speed was very fast, and gradually there were no other people around them, and most of them were either killed or left behind by Qiu.

An arrogant and rough voice with a thick accent shouted.

"You bastards of Ye Kingdom, keep running, let's be prey for grandpas, hahahaha... I will kill you, and offer blood and heads to Kada."

"Help me—"

Zheng Quchi froze, and turned around suddenly, only to see those Ganyi savages kneeling down on the captured craftsmen, grabbing their hair, pulling their hair tightly and throwing it back, like killing chickens or ducks. The throat was also cut, and blood spurted out.

And after doing all this, they actually grinned their teeth, laughed heartily as if they had received some interesting reward, and celebrated with their accomplices.

At this moment, Zheng Quchi's whole body trembled uncontrollably, anger and sadness gathered in her eyes, urging the soil in her heart to plant a seed that she didn't know the name of now.

"Why do you do this..."

A barbarian wearing a sheep bone inadvertently raised his eyes and aimed at Zheng Quchi's direction. Perhaps he sensed Qiu's extraordinary skill and escaped from death several times. The standard is stable, draw the bow and aim.

Zheng Quchi turned her head to look behind, she didn't miss this scene, and immediately said tightly: "Qiu, get out of the way!"

Qiu Yizhi, there is no shelter in front of him now, the opponent is looking far away, and his archery skills are superb. It is difficult for him to retreat from any side, but at least... Qiu made a decisive decision and threw Zheng Quchi away with one arm. , As soon as he turned around, he was shot in the chest by an arrow.

Uh--

autumn!
She quickly got up from the ground, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the barbarian wearing a sheep-bone helmet, with a ferocious face running towards him, holding a scimitar high in his hand, the cold light shone into her pupils, and her eyes were pale color.

But that knife didn't cut off her head in the end. Instead, he jumped into the air and fell on Sun Chao. A huge impact shot from behind, and slammed the barbarian into the thick tree trunk.

His eyes widened, he spat out a mouthful of blood mist, and then turned his head in horror.

"Ganyi barbarian?" A spear was in front of his eyes, a tall and burly man of about the same stature was against the light and shadow, he retreated a few inches with his arms bent, those fox eyes that usually laughed and slack, At this moment, Nei Li was furious with the storm: "Damn you!"

puff--

The tip of the spear directly pierced his eyes, and the barbarian wailed in pain, grasping the spear tightly with both hands, but Wei Yao did not stop moving, but continued to roll over with force.

After a lot of torture, Manzi finally fell down.

Zheng Quchi's chest rose and fell, and he looked at Wei Yao in a daze: "Brother Wei, Brother Wei..."

He turned his face as cold as water, stared at her for a moment, then put his palm on his forehead, and smiled wryly: "At least, at least I saved you..."

Did a lot of people die?
she wants to ask.

But she shut her mouth just in time, just because she thought it was nonsense.

Didn't she see it with her own eyes before?How these barbarians who broke through the gate cruelly tortured and slaughtered those craftsmen, staining the city wall with their blood.

"They're all dead?" she murmured in a daze.

Wei Yao's Adam's apple rolled a few times, and said in a dry voice: "No, but... not many survive, we are late."

But then he said sternly: "However, with the general around, none of these animals can escape."

General?

Yu Wensheng?
Zheng Quchi's mind was a little sluggish at the moment, and it took her half a beat to react before she remembered him.

Yes, with him here, as long as there is one of him in Ye Kingdom, they won't be slaughtered and humiliated by these crazy nomadic barbarians, but...

She looked up: "Why are you late?"

Wei Yao paused, clenched his fists, and murmured heavily: "Sang Xuanqing, there is more than one Guijiao Ridge in Fuxian County, and there are several major gates to guard in the six prefectures. When your eyes are in one place, the disaster will be there." One place, but our eyes can't just stay in one place."

Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had misunderstood. Although she has always been a small citizen, she also understands what it means to take care of the overall situation. She wanted to explain: "I didn't mean that... I just want to know what is wrong with me now. It can be done."

She suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It turns out that once a person is trapped in a war, they can be so small and helpless. Once ordinary people are not protected by the national army, they are like antelopes. It is someone who can kill if they want to.

When Wei Yao heard that she had survived a dangerous situation, the first thing she thought of was not escaping, avoiding difficulties, and rejoicing, but introspection, self-blame, and positive face.

To be honest, he really likes her sunny and bright personality.

Stretching out her hand to rub her hair, Wei Yao guided her with her previous experiences and perceptions: "Ah Qing, what you can do is up to you to think about it. When you want to do something from the bottom of your heart, you will You will naturally know what to do and what to do.”

The burden on Wei Yao is not light. As Yu Wensheng's left and right arms, he naturally will not only shoulder the task of rescue.

He didn't have time to talk to her, so he had to set off.

And after Zheng Quchi and Weiyao led the troops to mop up and hunt down the barbarians, he allowed himself to stop pretending, showed a real worried look, and hurried to find Qiu.

Just now after she was rescued by Wei Yao, Qiu hid when no one was paying attention.

"Autumn!"

Qiu heard her shout and came out from behind the tree. He had already pulled out the arrow in his chest, but surprisingly, the wound did not bleed much.

Although Zheng Quchi was puzzled, he still asked, "Qiu, how is your injury?"

He shook his head: "It's okay, I have medicine, you hurry down the mountain, it will be safer to follow Wei Yao and the others."

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me, the most important thing is not to arouse Yu Wensheng's suspicion of you."

Unlike Shan Bian, he didn't ask Zheng Quchi why he was so familiar with Yu Wencheng's people.

Seeing that he did not look seriously injured, Zheng Quchi nodded.

After taking two steps, she stopped slowly, turned her head and said solemnly to him, "Qiu, thank you."

Qiu froze for a moment, and subconsciously touched the place on the chest where the wooden eagle was placed.

This time the arrow wound was so light, it was only because the wooden eagle blocked most of it for him that he was able to survive.

It was the wooden eagle she gave him that saved him.

Looking at Zheng Quchi's back as he walked away, he lowered his eyes.

"Ruler, don't betray..."

He doesn't want to kill her.

Although he had killed many people before, killing was as simple and common to him as drinking water and eating.

This is the first time he has resisted and unwilling to kill people.
