Chapter 62 The poor people at the border
Chapter 62 The poor people on the border
The reason why the Khitans were a little panicked was that they had tended to speak out and harassment before their provocation to the Dragon Kingdom.
Harassing the borders and people of Long Kingdom, using this behavior to show their position and express their loyalty to Tang Kingdom.
But they did not expect that the Long Kingdom had such a bad temper and actually said they wanted to fight, so they sent troops directly.
And there is an army of 100,000.
Although the Khitan also has certain strength, it is obviously not worth it to face the enemy's 100,000 troops just by being a slap.
The most important thing is that they provoked the Long Kingdom for the sake of Tang Kingdom. Now facing the overwhelming army of Long Kingdom, Tang Kingdom has not yet made any statement.
This made the Khitan feel a little thankless, and it also felt like it would be a bit thankless to steal the chicken and lose the rice.
Facing the 100,000 troops of the Long Kingdom, the Khitan will suffer huge losses whether they directly respond to the battle or seek peace.
The Khitan obviously didn't want to face such losses, so he sent someone to Tang State to seek help from Tang State.
After all, he provoked Long Kingdom to embrace Tang Kingdom's thighs and show it to Tang Kingdom.
Now that something really happened, they felt that Tang State should not stand idly by.
After sending the ministers, the leader of the Khitan was much more relieved and was ready to wait quietly for the soldiers or attitudes of the Tang Dynasty to arrive. Whether it was the attitude of the Tang Dynasty that shocked the Long Kingdom or came directly to the army, in the view of the Khitan, it could help them.
Besides, Li Ke led his army to advance directly towards the Khitan, and passed by several villages in the border area and found that many villagers were fleeing.
Li Ke asked someone to go to the street to inquire about the situation.
The people who came back told Li Ke that the fleeing people were villagers from the border of Longguo.
Over the past period of time, the Khitan has been constantly crossing the border to provoke the Long Kingdom and burning, killing and looting the people of the Long Kingdom on the border, which is a complete evil.
The people on the border were forced to leave their hometowns, so the scene of escape was now caused.
But at the same time, according to the understanding, there are still many people from the border that have not escaped, and even some places have no way to escape. The soldiers who were provoked by the Khitan crossed the border and were surrounded in the village.
Hearing this, Li Ke's face turned gloomy and could not imagine what these Khitan soldiers would do to the people in these villages.
So Li Ke waved his hand and ordered the army to continue moving forward. He and General Li Yong led thousands of soldiers to the nearby villages to check the situation, and at the same time rescued the innocent people.
No matter which country it is, it will definitely be difficult for people to live on the border. The same is true for the Long Kingdom, especially the border border with the Khitan.
At this moment, a village called Dawangzhuang that is closed here is facing looting by Khitan soldiers.
This village is a very large village and town in terms of the Long Kingdom and the Khitan border, with about tens of thousands of people.
But at this time, these tens of thousands of people were surrounded by thousands of Khitan soldiers on the huge flat ground in the middle of the Dawangzhuang's village.
On this flat ground, tens of thousands of villagers looked at the Khitan soldiers around them in fear.
These soldiers were holding scimitars and wearing animal skin armor. They all smiled terrifyingly and showed ferocious faces. Looking at these people, they seemed to be looking at the lambs to be slaughtered.
One of the Khitan generals stood up, waved the scimitar in his hand, and roared:
"Everyone listens and hand over all your money. All kinds of precious things are not allowed to be left behind, and they are handed over.
There are also beautiful women under the age of forty who stand up and follow us, otherwise they will all be buried here."
Faced with threats and intimidation from the generals, tens of thousands of people were still surrounded by fear, and no one stood up to surrender.
Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, the Khitan general gradually lost his patience. He waved his scimitar in his hand and pointed at a respected old man in the village, saying to his soldiers:
"Drag this old guy out and behead him and show them the public, so that they can see what they will end up being disobedient."
Several soldiers rushed out and dragged the old man out, and fell on him without saying a few words. The old man did not frown until his death.
Countless villagers showed angry eyes and looked at the Khitans with hatred.
The Khitan general continued to speak:
"If you don't do what I want, this old man is your next fate. I will say it again at the end and hand over all your valuable things and all your women! Otherwise, I will torture you one by one until you die."
No one fears them.
Everyone is still angry.
The general was completely angry, waved his sword and said to his subordinates:
"Catch those little babies around ten years old, kill them all, set up a fire, and let the brothers bake and eat!"
When they heard this, the soldiers under their hands showed greedy eyes. When they looked at the young children, they seemed to be really looking at the little lambs.
It seems that in their eyes, these living people are like food.
Then these people rushed up with their knives and forcibly dragged the young boys and girls out of the crowd.
Ignore the cry of their parents and the beatings and scoldings of their families.
About one or two hundred young children were all concentrated on one side.
Around the circle, there were Khitan soldiers, holding scimitars in their hands waiting for the general's orders.
"Beasts, beasts, you bastards who have been killed by heaven, you are not human..."
In the crowd, an old man stood up and roared.
Similarly, there are young people who are impulsively trying to rush out and attack, but are pulled by others.
"You damn aliens, our army from the Dragon Kingdom, will definitely come to save us..." Some women also spoke angrily.
