"Ta, Ta, Ta..."
On the old and bumpy official road, a team of more than a dozen carriages was heading towards Xiangyang City.
At this time, on both sides of the road with rolling yellow sand, you can see some people in ragged clothes and carrying baggage walking by from time to time.
And every once in a while, you will see an unburied corpse lying on the ground in the grass on the roadside, or a new grave simply made of weeds and loess.
There were even sallow-faced, skinny, dirty children kneeling helplessly on the ground, while their parents next to them begged others to take them in.
"Sir, let's stop the car and give them some food. We have brought a lot of food!"
When passing by a section where there were many refugees and should be a gathering place, Nie Xiaoqian said in a somewhat unbearable tone to Ji Ye, who was sitting in front of the carriage.
"Can't give alms!"
Ji Ye shook his head and looked at the scene of people dying of hunger around him. Although he was touched, his tone of voice was firm in rejection!
"yes… "
Nie Xiaoqian opened her mouth to say something.
But as a maid, she always obeyed Ji Ye's advice.
He could only retract his head into the carriage and couldn't bear to look at the refugees on both sides of the road.
However, she soon understood the reason why Ji Ye was so "unfeeling".
"parking!"
Because, at this time, the carriage where Xiao Longnu and Zhou Zhiruo were sitting at the rear of the team stopped.
Later, Zhou Zhiruo, who was dressed in green clothes, took out part of the food and water he carried from the carriage.
A little girl with a sallow face and thin skin, wearing only shabby clothes in this cold weather, kept kowtowing to the motorcade, but because she hadn't eaten for a long time, she even fainted on the road during the kowtow!
"Miss, please give me some food. I haven't eaten for three days. Just a little will do."
"Miss, please be kind and buy my daughter to be your maid. She can do anything, as long as you give her a mouthful of porridge, I beg you!"
The location itself was a gathering place for refugees.
Originally, the refugees on the road were actually driven away by the "evil servants" of Ten Thousand Beasts Villa. However, when they saw the convoy stopped, some people even came down to distribute food.
A sudden swarm of people surrounded the carriage where Xiao Longnu and Zhou Zhiruo were sitting, and also spread toward the carriage where Wu Qiao, Chu Yin and other female players were sitting.
Some male refugees even rushed over to snatch the little girl's food.
Later, Zhou Zhiruo was angrily slapped to the ground with the wind of his palm.
But even so, there were still a large number of sallow-looking refugees rushing over, making it impossible for the entire convoy to move forward.
"Look, this is what it looks like!"
Ji Ye shook his head.
His mood was relatively calm.
Firstly, it's probably because we've seen a lot of this kind of scene on TV on Earth, and secondly, it's because we're only in the "Battlefield of Luck" after all, so our psychological acceptance must be much higher.
Faced with the current situation, it is not impossible to do anything.
For example, he can directly release dragon energy to create targeted "coercion", causing all these refugees to fall to the ground.
Or you can use "Mirage Dragon Balls" to create some scary illusions, so that these refugees scatter in fear.
"Um?"
However, before these measures were implemented, Ji Ye's expression suddenly changed and he looked up at the front of the official road.
"Ta, Ta, Ta..."
At this time, some smoke and dust were raised on the road ahead, and then you could see some creatures that were similar to camels but wider and had four black humps on their backs. Sitting on them were some soldiers whose facial features were obviously different from those of the Song Dynasty people. It's slowly coming this way.
"My master, these are the Yuan people's camel cavalry, let's retreat to the side quickly!"
A middle-aged man in the convoy shouted with sweat on his forehead. This was a guide specially hired by Wanshou Villa. He was from Xiangyang City and was familiar with the Yuan people's information.
The group's current location is more than two hundred miles away from Xiangyang City, but Yuan soldiers have already appeared here!
Just because the Song Dynasty was weaker at this time, it could only concentrate its troops as much as possible in important checkpoints such as Xiangyang City. The Yuan people, because they had more troops, were able to send people to spread around to collect food while preparing for the siege. For military purposes.
These exotic beasts called "camels" were used by the Yuan people to transport food. Because they were large enough and had excellent load-bearing and endurance, one camel could transport almost the entire year's rations for two or three families.
There were hundreds of "camels" in this group of Yuan soldiers, which meant that hundreds of Song families were robbed of all their savings.
And this must be just part of Yuan Ren's food team. It's no wonder there are so many people fleeing along the way!
"Ah! It's Yuan Ren's army!"
"Everyone, run quickly, Yuan Ren is here again."
When they noticed the Yuanren food team coming from a distance, the refugees who had originally swarmed around the female family members of the team suddenly fell into chaos, but Ji Ye didn't need to do anything else.
Whether they were old, weak, sick or disabled, they all ran away in the opposite direction to Yuan Ren with fearful expressions on their faces, or fled directly into the woods on both sides of the road.
Just because in order to occupy the territory of the Song people, the emperor of the Yuan people issued an order not to allow the indiscriminate killing of civilians who did not resist. However, this order was obviously just to undermine the fighting spirit of ordinary Song people. It was impossible to really win over the lower-level Yuan people in front of them. Execution of human soldiers.
You can see Yuanren soldiers riding on hunchbacks, and the weapons in many of their hands are still stained with dark red blood.
In addition, with Ji Ye's hearing enhanced through "The Golden Wind Has Not Moved, the Cicada's Awakening", he could clearly hear the cry of a child in the camel caravan!
At the front of the camel team of Yuanren soldiers, a baby was stabbed in the stomach by a halberd-like weapon and hung in front of the camel's head.
Looking at this scene, the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty used the babies of the Song people as a "bait" to attract the "camels" to run forward, just like using carrots to attract donkeys!
"stop!"
Ji Ye was not the only one who noticed this scene.
A somewhat angry voice sounded, and a figure rushed out from the carriage behind him. His gray clothes fluttered like a large eagle spreading its wings in the air, and he quickly rushed towards the person over a distance of tens of feet. A Yuanren soldier carrying a baby on his halberd.
In a carriage behind Ji Ye, Yang Guo and Shi Laosan from Ten Thousand Beasts Villa were sitting. Shi Laosan was not good at light kung fu, so the one who rushed out was naturally Yang Guo.
Just because Yang Guo had encountered something similar here before when the "Heroes' Banquet" was held in Xiangyang City more than ten years ago.
Although the Mongols have been replaced by the Yuan people in this "Battlefield of Luck", this memory has not changed. Now that he has become the "Condor Hero", how can he bear to see such a scene again? live!
"Snapped!"
The Yuanren soldier who was running at the front of the team didn't even have the chance to fully react before he was stepped on the chest by Yang Guo who rushed towards him like a giant eagle.
This kick was made by Yang Guo in a rage. It was so powerful that it not only directly pushed the chest of the Yuan Ren soldier into a depression, causing the body to vomit blood and fall to the ground, even the "hunchback" under him could not withstand it. All the thick limbs were broken, and he fell to the ground screaming.
Yang Guo snatched the Yuanren soldier's halberd. Then he held the tip of the halberd with two fingers of his left hand. With a strong click, the blood-stained halberd's shaft was broken off. .
Then, very carefully, the baby was held in his right arm.
Yes, after these days, Yang Guo's right arm has finally grown out. Although it is still slightly lacking in strength and is not as strong as his left arm that can compete with Ji Ye, it can still move normally.
It was a baby girl, only about one or two years old, with a slightly enlarged head due to malnutrition. Although her stomach was stabbed by a halberd, she did not die directly because it was not a fatal position.
"Ah, ah..."
Instead, its short arms and legs waved feebly, and its small mouth opened as if it wanted to cry out to its parents. However, the wound tore open due to the struggle, and blood flowed from its belly and mouth, making the weak cry even more unclear.
"who?"
"It's from Song Dynasty!"
"kill him!"
And Yang Guo's behavior actually caused the "camel" that could carry thousands of kilograms to kneel to the ground.
This undoubtedly caused some color changes on the faces of the Yuanren soldiers who saw this scene at close range.
But then, they did not leave in fear. Instead, they shouted angrily, and then directly drove the "hunchback" under them to speed up, waving the halberd in their hands and stabbing Yang Guo fiercely.
