Chapter eight hundred and eight: repayment of blood debt
Chapter 808: Paying back the blood debt
It was getting late, and the cold wind in Jinzhou was whizzing in autumn nights, especially for the Nanyang sailors, such cold weather was a bit unbearable. Therefore, the sailors in Jinzhou City could almost tell from their clothes only. Those who were wearing thick cotton armor and had snots naturally came from Nanyang. Quanzhou was as warm as spring all year round, and the sailors there were not cold, so they naturally became much more depressed when they arrived here. Most of the ones who only wore small jacket armor were Beiyang sailors. Although they were breathing white breath, they looked calm and chatted and laughed.
When it was late at night, the military law lieutenant who was in the curfew suddenly led the team to evacuate. Teams of sailors wearing thick cowhide boots disappeared into the dark fog. Then, the whole of Jinzhou was shrouded in an uneasy atmosphere.
The north wind blew, and the world was vast. The restlessness hidden in the dark finally appeared. From the outside city, on the dark street, someone broke through the thick fog and appeared under the lights along the street. They were ragged and had a blue face. They were either holding sticks or holding broken branches in their hands. Their eyes were like hungry wolves on the field, scarlet and hideous.
There are more and more people like this, and there are more and more densely populated people. There are Khitans and Han people, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, the crowd gathers at the intersections everywhere. The crowds are getting bigger and bigger. The white air that is spit out seems to make the cold air steam.
Everyone was moving in one direction, no one made a sound, but the deep hatred and speechless killing that flashed in their eyes made everyone who saw them feel cold.
At the same time, a group of sailors surged out from the streets and alleys. These sailors did not have red silk tied with military law and did not have long swords unsheathed. They just appeared in groups and watched the people leave.
In a deep alley, a lieutenant was holding his hands impatiently and leaning against the broken wall to take a nap. Suddenly, his eyes slightly opened and he said to the lieutenant beside him: "What, has it started?"
"Report to the adults, everyone has already gone to the streets."
"Yeah." The camp officer smiled sophisticatedly, a little relaxed and a little cold, and said lightly: "Tonight, there will be many people who can't sleep. Let me tell you, everyone, cheer up. No one of our Beiyang Navy is allowed to take action, you must restrain yourself; but people must also keep a close eye on it. If there are really Jurchens who hurt others, there is no need to be polite."
"But what if it were those Han and Khitans?"
The camp officer raised his legs and leaned towards the broken wall. He raised his head and looked at the dim moonlight in the sky with his toes. He asked and said in a vague way: "The moon is so bleak tonight. The moon is dark and the wind is high. Well, Your Highness Pingxi once said that it is better to kill people than to kill people. I wonder if it is to kill people or tonight?"
The crowds had already poured into the inner city, perhaps not long ago, this was their residence; but later they were driven to the outer city with a knife. Their parents were killed, their wives were humiliated; and they were also attacked to the saddle for those mortal enemies.
They were scolded for no reason, and as long as anyone disliked them, they could whip them without hesitation. The cowhide whip stained with water and the bright big knife were pressed on their heads. Not only did they not resist, they also had to force their faces to smile and bow to their enemies, and they would speak to their master on the left and the slave on the right.
And now... they have changed from cows and horses to humans; if they are humans, there are grudges and the time for revenge is here.
At the end of the long street is an ancient street paved with bluestone bricks. On both sides of the street, the houses are becoming more and more spacious. Compared with the broken walls of the outer city, this place is like a paradise. At this time, no one is willing to be greedy for this beautiful building. In the dark, someone raised his arms and shouted: "Avenge!"
The quiet crowd, as if it was a pot, suddenly became boiling, and various sounds burst out, whether it was the Han people, the Khitans, or even many Tubo people, and Dangxiang people were also involved. Amid this huge roar, the night became no longer silent, and there was only a stronger agitation and heat.

In the temporarily opened study room, Chen Ao sat silently under the lamp holding a book. His legs were slightly raised, his whole body was leaning on the back chair, and where he leaned against his feet was a pot of red charcoal basin, emitting heat.
Chen Ao was the only one in the study room, and even the tea cups on the table were already cold, but he didn't realize it at all, and seemed to be waiting for something in his loneliness.
Suddenly, a noisy sound came out.
Chen Ao turned his eyes away from the book and looked at the candlelight. The candlelight swayed, and even the firelight seemed to be restless.
There were countless sounds suddenly sounding in his ears. Chen Ao couldn't tell the difference, but he didn't have to listen, and he knew what he was saying.
Chen Ao put down the book, sat on the chair with his feet, his eyes slightly closed, and he had no intention of reading, and began to think about it.
Then, a heart-wrenching voice came out, which was the cry of the coward, mixed with mercy, some begging for mercy, some resentment, and some resentment. This sound spread in the night sky, adding a bit of horror to the entire study. Chen Ao became indifferent, and people's sympathy was limited, or Chen Lengzi had not much sympathy, and he would not have squandered to the point of sympathy for a group of wild beasts. Once upon a time, perhaps it was such a night, perhaps it was these people, but at that time, the mercy was a butcher who killed people without blinking. How could they have ever had sympathy? How could they have thought, if I had known this, why would it have been the first one?
Killing someone to pay for his life is the law of any era. Now, it is time to pay off his blood debt.
Chen Ao leaned on the chair, fell asleep unconsciously, snored slightly, and actually slept to death in the terrifying scream.
The red candle ran Ranran, and it took countless times to be heard, screams and screams from climax to a low point, from low to abrupt end. At this time, a cheer came out, which pierced the night sky, but did not feel harsh, like a whisper in a dream, or a beautiful fairy in a fairy.
At this time, the door was pushed open, Zhou Heng poked his head in and said in surprise: "Your Highness, go and see, the inner city is very lively..." When he came in, he found that Chen Ao was already lying on the table and slept soundly, so he couldn't help but stop his voice in a little annoyed and murmured in a low voice: "It's so weird that such a wonderful show can even sleep to death." After that, he touched his head, and was afraid that Chen Ao would catch a cold at night, so he took off his clothes and gently draped on Shen Ao's body, and then tiptoed out.
Chen Ao had a dream. In the dream, a man looked at him affectionately, took off his clothes and put them on him with care. The man faintly reflected, very much like a person in his memory. When Chen Ao consciously got goosebumps, the dream woke up. He opened his eyes wide, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he realized that he was actually wearing a piece of clothes...
After a night, Jinzhou City returned to normal, and it was a little more lively than before. However, the atmosphere was still gloomy. People in front of the doors of each household had straw paper to burn it. Perhaps because of the great revenge, they gave some comfort to those who could not rest their eyes. Hurts came from the streets and alleys. The sound was long and low, making people feel sad when they heard it.
After Chen Ao washed up, he immediately put on his armor and then drove out of the city. When he went out of the city gate, many people recognized him. Whether it was the Han people or the Khitans, they knelt on the side of the road with gratitude, shouting that His Highness, Duke Wandai.
Chen Ao felt a little embarrassed at this time and left the city in shame. Outside the city, in the wilderness, ten thousand naval cavalry were fully armed, and proudly raised flags and flags. The war horses were sniffing and digging the mud with their hooves. The burly cavalry was wearing tight cotton armor, raising their heads and still moving.
The navy's cavalry organization was so scarce. The three oceans of navy had only more than 10,000 people. In order to transport war horses, they had to build special horse ships, and they had to use a large amount of horse material to press the basin. Walking on the sea, it was extremely inconvenient to take care of war horses. Although the navy was huge, it was already at its limit to being able to transport ten thousand cavalry.
Early in the morning, the navy cavalry who had rested for a night were ready and appeared in the suburbs of the city with full energy and formed a team.
Not long ago, Chen Ao had already issued an order, and the navy cavalry set out immediately, targeting Dading Mansion, and must arrive within three days. The navy troops stationed in Jinzhou, except for some of them, all the rest advanced towards Dading Mansion. Chen Ao knew in his heart that this was a race of time. The navy must take Dading Mansion before the Jin people could react, and he only relied on these ten thousand naval cavalry, and in addition, he had the determination to die.
The reason why I believe that the Jurchens would not receive the news in time is that on the one hand, the navy's surprise attack on Jinzhou was enough to make the Jin army unexpected; on the other hand, it is also because the Zhongjing Dao was one of the weakest areas of the Jurchens, and the Jin people's defense and communication were extremely relaxed. Moreover, there were many Liao troops and rebels along the way. As long as you grasp the time and take down the Dading Prefecture, the initiative on the entire battlefield would be completely in the hands of Chen Ao.
During the military meeting, Chen Ao had ordered Zhou Chu to lead the navy to follow the Iron Cavalry to advance towards Dading Prefecture, while Yang Guo led a part of the army to stay here. Chen Ao himself chose to join the navy's cavalry to launch an unexpected surprise attack towards the heart of Zhongjing Road.
Chen Ao appeared in front of the cavalry formation like a long snake, took a deep breath, took the lead in riding the horse, and waved his hand and said, "Go!"
"Set off!"
Woo... the horns ring together, thousands of horses gallop, and they rush towards the end of the wilderness to the west like lightning.
