Section 88: Captive
The moment when he broke the wooden arrow shaft with his right hand, Jing Zhong felt that his brain seemed to be pried by some hard object, and he left his original position, dragging the central nervous system and bursting out with an indescribable severe pain.
He gritted his teeth tightly, and the pain stimulated the nerves to produce huge force, crushing the molar on his right. The numbness of chewing a lot of sand was spreading in his mouth. He then opened his mouth and let out a "ah" scream. The sound was so shrill that it was not like a human, full of despair.
The guard quickly reached out to support him. Jing Zhong struggled sideways for a few times, and used his trembling right hand to find his spear on the ground. He endured the severe pain, tried to open his right eye wide, stared at the distant village gate in the hazy bright red stained with blood, and burst into howling like a beast.
"Let's go, everyone goes... go!"
When sieging cities and robbing villages, the most commonly used weapon is rockets.
But the Niu people did not use this kind of thing.
Their purpose was obviously from the beginning, and they targeted the warehouses in the village. In addition to food, there were also mountains of cloth.
That was the result of the labor hard work of women and the elderly for more than half a year.
"Damn the cow clan bastard, I won't leave anything to you!"
He struggled to stand up, raised his spear with the little left, and let out the loudest roar in his life: "All men come with me, kill... and kill all these cow bastards!"
The leader's majesty continued to work as usual. Hundreds of followers quickly gathered around Jingzhong. They brought all kinds of messy debris to block the precarious gate, quickly forming a new obstacle.
Jingzhong now looks crazy, but his mind is very clear.
Mengxiang Village can no longer be defended, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.
I will die here in battle.
The only blessing in his heart was that he was not so stubborn before. He followed the advice of the warehouse manager Kun Wei and built a new door on the north side of the village wall.
The people of the Niu tribe certainly don't know about this.
The women and children have begun to evacuate Mengxiang Village from the north.
They must be given enough time.
He spit out the broken teeth in his mouth and viciously ordered a guard beside him: "Tell me my order, light the fire, and burn the warehouse."
The guard nodded calmly and quickly turned around and ran away.
Even if it is a piece of cloth or a piece of food, it cannot be left to the cattle people.
...
Kun Wei, carrying a heavy wicker basket, followed a large group of women, escaped from the north Xinzhai Gate in chaos and climbed up the hillside.
The west and south are blocked by the cattle army and cannot get through.
To the east of Mengxiang Village is a cliff that is hundreds of meters high. You must climb up the hillside to the north and go around the top of the mountain to get to other Lu villages from the small path.
Fear and frantically bit Kun Wei's brain, he felt very lucky and had the foresight, so he opened a door on the wall of the north village in advance. Look at the unkempt and panicked women around him. If it weren't for me, you would have been trapped in the village and waiting to die.
An indescribable sense of pride and superiority arose, and Kun Wei felt that he should be the leader of all the escapees. He admired the leader very much, which was a real man, with a group of men who were fearless and fearless. In fact, when he turned around and thought about it carefully, it was indeed his duty.
I want to take these fugitives to Liuyun City and report everything to the clan leader.
Kun Wei had a wishful thinking. At this moment, he completely forgot about Aqin. He had no idea in his mind that "if it weren't for Aqin's suggestion, I wouldn't have thought of asking the leader to open a new village gate in the north." The fear of death was no longer as strong as when he just escaped from the village. There were not many men who escaped with the woman. Kun Wei was still a "head of a hundred people" with a status. If he had good luck and arrived in Liuyun City smoothly, the King of the Deer Clan would definitely feel that I had made contributions, and maybe he would ask me to take these people to choose another location to rebuild the village. By that time, I would be the new leader.
After going uphill and entering the forest, no one would worry about the wild beasts like howling wolf in the forest at this time. There were many people fleeing, and no matter how fierce the beast was, he would dare not come out.
"Ah! You...who are you?"
The front end of the fugitive team let out a scream of terrifying females. Through the gap between the crowds, Kun Wei, who was sweating on his forehead, saw dozens of tall figures.
All of them were men, wearing leather robes unique to the Cattle tribe, wearing armor unique to the Cattle tribe, and holding a battle axe made of stainless steel in their hands, reflecting a heart-pounding metallic cold light.
The screams were louder and more.
The group of escaped people seemed to be collectively electrocuted, and turned around and retreated to the way they came. The thoughts with beautiful and dreamy colors in Kunwei's mind disappeared instantly. He suddenly turned around, pushed away the woman blocking the front, stepped on her body that had lost balance and fell to the ground, and ran wildly out of the woods as quickly as possible.
"Bang!"
A black and hard object hit Kun Wei's cheek accurately. He screamed and fell down in reverse, with blood oozing in front of him. Kun Wei covered his face tightly with his hands, and the scream spread through the gaps in his palm. His fingers were trembling. He touched the bridge of his nose that was sunken from the middle, and his bones must have been broken.
Tian Kuang, who was nearly three meters tall, stood on the edge of the woods holding a steel axe. He was wearing thick shoulder armor, and the metal breastplate was wrapped around his body with ropes. From waist to legs, the three layers of armor were arranged in stacked form according to the joint structure of the human body. He took a step forward, with a crisp metal collision, and stepped directly on Kun Wei, who had lost his ability to resist without any mercy. He held the heavy long-handled battle axe and slapped heavily on the ground, giving a satisfying and deterrent grin.
"Everyone, hold his head with his hands and squatted for me honestly."
He then added: "If you don't want to die, do what I say. If anyone dares to disobey, I will chop off his head!"
...
Mengxiang Village was captured.
Looking at the village full of devastated and flames everywhere, Liang Dong, the leader of Qinglong Village, was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
The battle process is very simple, and there are no details worth describing. The facts once again prove that the deer tribe is not the opponent of the cattle tribe.
However, the number of casualties on our side is very large, exceeding the forecast.
More than 200 people were killed in battle, and more than 700 others were injured.
According to the logic of the northern barbarians, if an arrow is shot in a critical part of the body, this cannot be considered a war loss. Only when the hands and feet are cut off and cannot be recovered, or the damage to the eyes, lower body, key fingers (thumb or big toe), internal organs and other parts can be considered a true injury.
Five thousand to three thousand, and nearly one thousand people suffered a loss of war... This is not the result that Liangdong wanted at all.
What's worse is that there is almost no gain in this battle.
Chapter completed!
