Chapter 185 atrocities

At night, a bonfire was lit in the barracks in the wilderness, and the bonfire was crowded with people, surrounded by many soldiers. On this small open space surrounded by many people, a man in a commoner stood.

The man looked about forty years old last year, with a thin figure, a hunched back, sparse hair, an old face, a skeleton under his jaw, and his eyes were big and small. At this moment, he was talking in tears.

"That night, I was doing the update. It was raining and there was a rustling sound everywhere..."

Wu Laoliu, a 43-year-old widower, known to many people in Xuanhu City, were the survivors of the "Yunhu Two Days". The enemy troops stole the city that night, and he happened to fight in the city, but he witnessed a series of outrageous atrocities.

After luckily avoiding the massacre, Wu Laoliu looked for an opportunity to escape and headed north. He finally met the official army returning to Xuanhu.

At this moment, he was telling the soldiers of Yuzhou what he saw and heard in the city, and the tragic situation in Xuanhu City, which had turned into hell on earth, and told the soldiers who were eager to fight back to take revenge.

He said that the enemy took advantage of the rain to steal the city that night, but he was caught by the other party. In order to cover up, he sent two soldiers to follow him and let him continue to fight.

As soon as the enemy entered the city, they slaughtered several high-ranking officials and their entire family and sent troops to control the barracks. Wu Laoqi later learned that the enemy initially claimed that they were here to serve the king, and that they only punished the main evil, and did not investigate the remaining criminals.

It is also said that as long as the state soldiers are "anyway", they will never be in a difficult situation.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the state soldiers who were left behind in the military camp could not rush out in a hurry. Seeing the other party swearing that they would not be embarrassed, they could only put down their weapons and surrender. The enemy asked them to gather at the school ground, saying that they wanted to count the number of people, but the result was a massacre.

Archers had been ambushed on the school ground. The soldiers were shocked to find that they had been trapped and wanted to resist but were unarmed. They were all shot to death by arrows. After the enemy massacred all the defenders in the city, they finally showed their true face.

They sent people to block the city gate and then plundered the troops. At this time, Wu Laoqi and other refuels were no longer needed to fight, but they did not take it seriously when they saw that he was weak. It was precisely because of this that Wu Laoliu witnessed a series of atrocities with his own eyes.

The enemy soldiers first burned, killed and looted the wealthy families. After breaking open the door, they rushed in, chopped the men when they saw them, and threw them at the women when they saw them. They snatched all the valuable things, and then ordered the mansion with a torch.

The enemy soldiers robbed, killed people and set fires from house to house. Many families were so scared that they took out all the valuable things in their homes, saying that they were willing to "respect the king" and only wished their families peace. However, after the beast soldiers took the things, they still killed people and set fires.

Some of the officials and wealthy neighbors in Xuanhu City joined forces to gather to protect the courtyard. The children and servants resisted, but they were all defeated by the enemy soldiers and could not escape.

The burning, killing and looting lasted for a night. The civilians in the city thought that the enemy soldiers were just big-name people, so they were lucky enough to think that the other party had killed enough and robbed enough, and would not attack the poor people who were poor.

The next morning, the enemy soldiers indeed calmed down a lot, and just as the people thought they had escaped, the atrocities began again.

Wu Laoliu was crying when he said this. A soldier rushed forward and pulled him, shaking him constantly: "Wu Laoliu! I am Liang Er from Sanli West Street, Chengnan! What's wrong with my family?!"

"Your home...ah..."

Seeing that Wu Laoliu wanted to speak but stopped, the soldier named Liang Er was anxious and shook the other party desperately: "Say it! Say it!"

"Oh, your family... is so miserable..." Wu Laoliu slowed down and told the Liang Er family about the experience.

Wu Laoliu and Liang Er's family were familiar with each other. Liang Er's family had five people, Liang Er's parents, his wife and a child less than three years old lived. That day, the enemy soldiers robbed them from house to house. Seeing that it was difficult for Liang's father to escape, he hid his daughter-in-law and grandson behind the firewood pile in the woodshed.

The enemy soldiers rushed into the Liang family and searched for valuable things. The two old men knew the importance of the matter and honestly handed over all the valuable things in exchange for the other party not to kill.

The food and chickens in the house were all taken away. The enemy soldiers searched the yard for a round and found no valuable things. Just as they were about to leave, crying came from the woodshed.

It was the crying of Liang Er's son. Seeing this, the enemy soldier opened the firewood pile. Seeing Liang Er's wife holding a crying baby, she immediately turned red and wanted to catch people. Liang's father and mother swung a wooden stick to fight to the death, but were killed by random knives.

The enemy soldier pressed Liang Er's wife to the ground and took turns to commit violence. When he saw the little guy crying and felt a quarrel, he used a spear to prick and lift it up like a fish. The little guy could not stand it. After a while, he died. Liang Er's wife was tortured to the point of being unable to form a human being. Seeing that her family was dead, she died soon.

When Liang Er heard that his family was slaughtered, he felt cold in his limbs. He was stunned for a moment and then squatted on the ground and hugged his head and cried loudly. Seeing this, the soldiers around him came from their hearts. A few more acquainted with Wu Laoliu rushed up to inquire about their family’s situation.

"Die, all are dead! They are all harmed by enemy soldiers!" Wu Laoliu shouted in tears. When the soldiers heard this, they felt dizzy, and the last trace of luck disappeared.

At first, when they heard the news of something happening to Xuanhu in the camp outside Fangcheng, they felt that their family was barely in the walls, and that the enemy soldiers would harm the big families and rich people, so their families should be able to live a life of silence.

The army retreated to Fangcheng, and again news came one after another, saying that the enemy had slaughtered Xuanhu. Many people were still praying that their families would escape the disaster. When the army continued to advance towards Xuanhu, the cavalry met many people fleeing north, including Wu Laoliu, the updater in Xuanhu City.

Wu Laoliu described himself as a survivor of the "Erhu Two Days". After the enemy soldiers slaughtered Xuanhu, they needed people to carry the bodies and dig a pit to bury them. He carried the bodies for several days and escaped while the guards were not strict when they were digging.

Many of the soldiers of Yuzhou who were in Xuanhu City were familiar with Wu Laoliu, so they asked him about the situation at home. Because there were too many people, the generals simply summoned the soldiers to gather and asked Wu Laoliu to talk about the situation in Xuanhu City in front of everyone.

In fact, it was to add fuel to the fire and arouse the soldiers' revenge. The enemy's atrocities that Wu Laoliu cried and caused many victimized soldiers to be heartbroken. The other soldiers' eyes were red when they saw this, and they were panting.

Seeing the soldiers excited, the generals knew that the time was coming, and the time for the two armies to fight was right in front of them, so they had to make a fuss while the iron was hot.

"In a few days, our army will fight the beast soldiers who slaughtered Xuanhu. Who is willing to be a vanguard and get into battle? I am willing to raise my hand!"

"I! I!"

The soldiers surrounded by the bonfire rushed to raise their hands, and the remarks about what Wu Laoliu said about the atrocities made them indignant. Although some people were not in Xuanhu, they were also angry by the cruel behavior of the enemy.

Head coach Hoba Fuen, looking at the excited scene in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked down at a piece of paper with words in his hand.

It was a letter of persuasion from the enemy cavalry. The person who wrote the letter claimed that he was the emperor who fell into trouble. Heba Fuen read it in public, but all the generals disagreed. However, he recognized that the handwriting on the letter of persuasion was indeed the handwriting of the emperor Yuwen Gankeng.

In other words, the emperor in Xuanhu City who called on the world to support the king was really Yuwen Gankeng.

But so what?

Hoba Fuen kneaded the letter of surrender into a ball and threw it into the bonfire. The jumping flames came into his eyes, reminding him of a past event.

When the Zhou army invaded Jinyang, Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou led his troops into the city as soon as possible. Just as the Zhou king and ministers believed that the overall situation was settled, the remaining Qi army in the city suddenly counterattacked, and the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties and was driven out of the city.

Yuwen Yong was trapped in the chaos, and his personal guards were all injured and killed. The firelights around him were all covered with Qi soldiers. He was about to be captured alive. It was Heba Fuen, who had just surrendered, who sacrificed his life to save Yuwen Yong and rescued him from the sea of ​​blood.

Heba Fuen, who should have been a loyal minister of the Yuwen family, did not intend to be loyal to the Yuwen family anymore, because the misconduct of Yuwen Yong's son Yuwen Yong made many people look at him. Now the puppet-shaped Yuwen Gankeng is not qualified to be loyal to him.
