Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

The girls were ecstatic and were about to shout for help when they heard a conversation in the moonlight.

"Boss, if we escape like this, it will be over if we are caught by General Zhu."

"The army rations are all lost, how can General Zhu care about us?" Hearing this voice, it was the money-grubbing boss who had cleaned up the banknotes on Shadow and let him pass the customs.

He sneaked out of the barracks with a group of his men, and was preparing to escape with the wealth he had collected these days.

Seeing that the right-hand man around him is always hesitating, he always shakes the knife in his hand and threatens: "What? You don't want to go? If you don't want to go, hum!!"

"Of course I want to leave!" The subordinate said firmly, but soon his waist became weak again, and he said in fear, "It's just that you know how General Zhu deals with deserters. Damn, it's really terrible."

He always put his hands firmly on his face and lowered his voice.

"Believe me, he can't protect himself, what else can he do to win us?"

"We let so many people go out, these people may have already leaked the loss of our military rations."

"Night King will definitely seize this opportunity and attack Luozhou as soon as possible. If we don't leave now and wait for them to attack, it will be too late!"

"Yes, yes, the boss's analysis is correct." After hearing these words, the subordinate nodded hastily.

But the girls hiding in the snow were full of despair, lying on the snow and not daring to move. Could the soldiers brought out by the bandit Zhu Xiangyu be good people?
Once taken away by them, I am afraid that he will fall from the tiger's mouth into the wolf's den, and the end will be equally miserable. It is better to die here.

This group of people ran away in a hurry, and they didn't notice the girls lying in the snow, and they just disappeared into the snow under the moon in such a hurry.

Generals Wang Chang, Lin Yi, Niu Zhi and other generals from the Tongzhou Night Battalion were summoned by Ji Xun overnight to discuss the military situation.

Niu Zhidao, "His Royal Highness, since Zhu Xiangyu's rations are lost, why not delay him for a few more days, and then attack when those soldiers are half dead from freezing and starving, wouldn't it be easy to catch them?"
Wang Chang shook his head.

"How could Zhu Xiangyu be so cruel and ruthless that he could sit and wait for death? He might grab all the food for all the people within two days, and the people who will suffer by then will still be the common people."

"Your Highness the Night King, this subordinate thinks that if you want to save those people, it is best to send troops tonight, and kill him by surprise."

"The subordinates agree with General Wang." Lin Yi, He Mang and others nodded.

After listening to Wang Chang's analysis, Niu Zhi also felt that it was reasonable, and hurriedly said, "My subordinates don't know much about Zhu Xiangyu. If he really doesn't care about the lives of the people, he really can't delay."

After hearing what everyone said, Ji Xun nodded calmly.

"Well, that's why this king summoned you all night."

"The moon is shining brightly tonight. It's a good weather for mobilizing troops. Everyone hasten to go back and prepare. Before Haishi, we will attack Luozhou in three ways."

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." Several people responded loudly, got up at the same time, and then left in a hurry.

It is a wave of newcomers guarding Tongzhou to go to the frozen river in Luozhou.

They took the money of the chief in private, and took the vigil in their stead tonight.

Piles of bonfires were built on the shore, and they drank strong wine to drive out the cold.

Zhu Xiangyu hid the loss of rations to death, these subordinates knew nothing about it, just thought it was an ordinary night as in the past, after a few sips of wine, some people got into the tent and went to sleep.

Others dozed off by the fire, leaning back and forth.

A young soldier on night watch woke up in a daze from the cold, got up and went to the side to relieve himself.

Before he finished urinating, suddenly Shuxue next to him gargled and fell down, something seemed to cause quite a shock, as if a large number of people were coming towards this side.

He stood there in a daze and forgot to lift his trousers. After a while, the sound of horseshoes approaching, and then under the moonlight, he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him like a mountain and a sea in the distance.

"Alert~~Beware that the Night King is attacking." The little soldier murmured in panic with his eyes widened in horror, he even forgot to lift his trousers and crawled backwards.

The other soldiers who were resting were also awakened by the movement.

No one expected that the Night King would attack suddenly, and everyone was in a mess.

There are nearly 20 soldiers guarding the checkpoint here. Everyone thinks that the Night King's soldiers are starving and half-dead without food and cannot take the initiative to attack, so most of them are sleeping soundly at the moment.

But the guards who were awakened hurriedly sounded the warning gongs and drums, and the arrow rain came in a surprise attack, and they all fell to the ground with arrows.

The group of cavalry rushed straight over, unstoppable, and rushed directly to the camp.

When they were a little closer, rockets were fired at the tent, and the tent was quickly set on fire, creating a sea of ​​flames.

"The Night King is attacking, resist quickly, hurry!" the lieutenant, wearing a thin jacket, rushed out of the sea of ​​fire in panic, losing his shoes, and shouted anxiously.

After all, it was Zhu Xiangyu's trained soldiers. Although they were caught off guard and confused, the soldiers soon started to fight back.

After the cavalry broke through the checkpoint, Lin Yi rushed in with [-] soldiers and fought with Zhu Xiangyu's soldiers.

Immediately, flames and smoke rose into the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing was loud.

Yongshui Town.

After Zhu Xiangyu arrived here, he directly tied up all men, women and children in the town, dragged them to the flat ground outside the town, and poured oil on fire.

After preparing all this, a lieutenant general threw a six or seven-year-old boy out of the crowd.

The child fell in front of Zhu Xiangyu, crying loudly.

Holding a torch, Zhu Xiangyu glanced at the crowd and asked loudly.

"Whose son?"

"Back to the general, it's from Cao Min's family." A well-dressed middle-aged man walked out of the crowd tremblingly, keeping his children behind him. "The grass people didn't receive the food, and I hope the general will check it out."

"Whether you get it or not, you are required to hand over all the food in the house immediately, otherwise~~" Zhu Xiangyu said and handed the torch in front of them.

Fire oil was poured on them, as long as a spark fell, the two of them would surely fall into a sea of ​​flames.

But the middle-aged man still hesitated, knelt on the ground and begged Zhu Xiangyu for mercy.

"My lord, if there are more than a dozen members of Caomin's family, if we hand over all the food, will we starve to death?"

"I beg my lord to save some for us, Caomin is willing to pay one-third of the two
"Hmph? Do you dare to bargain?" Before the man finished speaking, Zhu Xiangyu pulled the corner of his mouth and narrowed his fierce eyes, and threw the torch on him in a hurry.

The father and son suddenly fell into the sea of ​​fire, howled in pain, and kept rolling in the snow for help.

But who would dare to save them? So people knelt in the snow, trembling with fear.

Fire oil was poured on the father and son, no matter how much they rolled, the fire would not be extinguished, and they were burned into black coals amidst the mournful wailing.
