Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 290

The crowd came surging, and several squad leaders shouted at their squad at the same time, being drowned in the surrounding noise, the crowd quickly rushed to the front, they couldn't see clearly in the smoke, forty or fifty Huaxia guards held crossbows It had already been triggered, and then he rushed up with a knife and slashed violently. The crowd seemed to hit a dam, and one part was shot down by a crossbow arrow, and then another part was hacked to death. Continuous blood mist spewed out in front of the crowd, and the horrific shouts continued. In one piece, the horses mixed in also suffered the same fate.

Wu Jianfa didn't know how long he had been killing, when his eyes suddenly disappeared, the crowd disappeared, and the remaining people went south again.In front of him were layers of corpses, forming a wall of flesh, and the wounded and wounded horses inside were still struggling and wriggling.

Wu Jianfa could hardly feel his hands. He turned his head to look at his teammates, only to see that their faces were also numb, their faces were covered with blood, and everyone was breathing heavily.Wu Jianfa knew for the first time that killing people would be like this.

"Forward!" Wu Jianfa's team leader shouted again, and then the other team leaders shouted from both wings. Wu Jianfa dragged his almost numb hands and feet, stepped on the corpse wall with difficulty, and stepped over the wounded wriggling under his feet. At that time, there were almost no people, and there were quite a few empty horses left in place. Fortunately, although these horses seemed restless, they did not run around, so naturally no one went to kill them.After all, war horses are extremely rare and precious resources in any country and force.

At this time, the smoke gradually faded, and the surroundings suddenly became much quieter. When they walked out of the thick smoke area, Wu Jianfa felt that the light in front of him seemed to be much stronger.

Then he saw corpses all over the ground. Among the corpses were densely packed rogues kneeling on the ground, and hundreds of empty horses. They seemed to be even more exhausted. They didn't even have the strength to stand up.Dawn brought light, and after they could see their surroundings clearly, they ended their madness, but their physical strength had long been exhausted. They no longer ran or howled, and stayed where they were, waiting for the massacre they thought would come.

The eyes of the rogues and refugees were numb, and they stared blankly at these terrifying officers and soldiers they had never seen before. The faces, arms, and weapons of these officers and soldiers were all covered with red blood, like bloodthirsty Shura Yakshas.

The front line paused in front of these refugees, Wu Jianfa turned his head and took a look, and found that nearly a hundred teams had come here.Soon he saw the young man in white standing on a high place, that was the director of their operations department, that cool and powerful young swordsman who was always dressed in white and seldom spoke.He heard from the squad leader that the director is a new generation of sword masters, and in terms of kendo alone, he is close to invincible in the entire world.

Although Bai Canghai came, since he entered the bandit camp, he didn't kill a single person from the beginning to the end, and he didn't draw his sword out of its sheath.

Bai Canghai stood on the dilapidated roof, said something to the soldiers next to him, and the team leaders who came here soon ran over.

Bai Canghai gave them an order, and then 25 teams stayed behind to guard the refugees kneeling on the ground, while the other teams continued to go south.

More than 70 Huaxia Guard teams immediately drove away the captives on the ground with their waist knives, and walked south through the gap between the captives.

Wu Jianfa's shoes were soaked in blood, and the inside was greasy. He only felt the awkwardness at this time. He followed the people in front of him over a ridge, and the scene in front of him stunned him.

The plains I saw in front of me were covered with dense corpses and sundries, almost covering the color of the land. Thousands of refugees knelt on the ground, hundreds of horses and mules stopped or walked slowly. The shacks spewed clouds of black smoke into the sky.

A mile away were rogues fleeing in all directions, and the number of people swarming densely was innumerable. A part of the Huaxia Guards team was still chasing after them, and the place exposed after they left was full of mess again.

The first rays of sunlight came down, Wu Jianfa looked east, the sun was just rising, and several cavalrymen in the distance were coming from west to east or north to south.He knew those cavalry soldiers. Those who came from the north were the Imperial Guards from Kyoto brought by Duke Cao from the capital, and those from the west to the east were the Imperial Guards from Sichuan and Sichuan.Following Ye Chen's order, the cavalry started to set off in the middle of the night, and finally arrived at full speed at dawn.If Ye Chen hadn't attacked the camp of the rogues at night, even if these cavalry arrived, the rogues would have quickly dispersed. At most, they would have killed some refugees who had no horses and were too hungry to run.But it's different now, the bandits have collapsed and ran around, the cavalry came at just the right time, and they just happened to chase and kill them.

The rising sun illuminated the killing field. Ye Chen stood on the south wall in the center of Xu Qingfei's camp, raised his banner high and fluttered high in the morning wind.In the morning light, tens of thousands of bandits covered the ground like densely packed ants, fleeing in all directions in a panic.

"My lord, the cavalry of the Imperial Army of the Capital and the Imperial Army of Sichuan and Shu have arrived."

Ye Chen looked to the north and west, and there were three or four thousand cavalry galloping on each side. Looking at the uniforms, he knew that they were the cavalry of the bandit suppression army. They came earlier than he thought, and the timing was very good. Obviously, Today is sure to be able to severely injure the rogue bandits to the greatest extent. Judging from the current casualties and captives of the rogue bandits, the rogue bandits will definitely suffer heavy losses, and they will not be able to disrupt the Song Dynasty in the future.

At this time, Feng Zhiyuan collected the reports of several intelligence agents who had been lurking among the gangsters before, and said to Ye Chen: "My lord, except for Xu Qingfei, all the six gangsters around have collapsed. Yidao, Xuebutcher and other ministries, under the operation of our Anzi, all broke out in camp screams, killing nearly half of each other in the chaos, especially the six leaders including Heilang, Huang Yidao, and Xuebutcher were all lurking in the bandits by the assassination department of the Action Department The killers in the village took advantage of the chaos and succeeded in beheading, making the small and medium-sized leaders of the six gangs fight each other for the gold and silver and the leader's woman, causing heavy casualties. Now, only a small number of gangsters have scattered around with some horse thieves before dawn. The rest of the refugees also scattered and fled for their lives. The other two bandits tried to rescue them, but they also collapsed immediately after being attacked by the refugees."

"Very well, all those who were hidden among the lurking bandits this time have made great contributions, especially you and Wu Gang and the few Huaxia Wei who successfully beheaded are considered first achievements. Hmm...Xu Qingfei escaped, right?"

"Reporting to my lord, the interrogators of the intelligence department are interrogating the horse thief captives. According to their account, they saw Xu Qingfei just rushing out in front of the south gate of the camp. .”

"Pass down the order, since the cavalry of the bandit suppressing army has arrived, we don't need to deal with the other rogues in Huaxia Weifu, um...call Bai Sishi and Li Sishi."

Feng Zhiyuan agreed, then turned and left.

After a while, Li Junhao and Bai Canghai had arrived, and before Ye Chen had anything to say, Li Junhao said, "Master Chief Commander, what should we do with these tens of thousands of refugees, we can't kill them all!"

Ye Chen glared at Li Junhao, and said angrily: "You are a murderer! You haven't killed enough."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chen turned his head and said to Bai Canghai: "Brother Bai! You leave half of the Huaxia Guards to watch, and when the bandit suppressing officers arrive, hand it over to the Sichuan and Sichuan Imperial Army, and let them handle the matter with the local officials."

Bai Canghai obviously didn't like to deal with this kind of thing. He glanced behind Lian Jicheng, the commander of the assassination department, and the latter hurriedly bowed and said, "Your subordinate will make arrangements."

Ye Chen turned around and said to Xia Fei, the commander of the transmission department behind Li Junhao; "Xia Fei, your lightness kung fu is the best. You take your men and horses to find Xu Qingfei. After you find him, don't move him. Follow him and see how he is with you." Anyone who meets, if they find Shangguan Bingyun's trace, they should not act rashly and send someone to report quickly."

Xia Fei knelt on one knee and said yes, then flew away.

Bai Canghai said suddenly: "I will lead the people from the Assassination Department to follow Xia Fei. Otherwise, if Shangguan Bingyun is really found, I am afraid they will not come back alive. Even if Shangguan Bingyun did not find them, wait for them to report, Shangguan In all likelihood, the ice cloud disappeared again."

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Bai is right, so let's do what he says!"

Bai Canghai nodded, turned around and pointed at the assassins of the two assassination teams.Follow Xia Fei away.

Watching these people leave, Ye Chen took Li Junhao and Huang Louping, the envoy of the Security Department of the Operation Department, to the center of the camp, and walked into Xu Qingfei's big tent.

There are corpses everywhere, but there are also gold, silver and jewels everywhere.Five hundred black cavalry are tidying up.There are quite a few good things inside. Although a lot of them were looted last night, there are still good things left, and everything can be called a treasure.

Chen Xin picked up a white jade tiger on the ground to play with. The white color was flawless, the jade color was warm, and the shape of the tiger was vivid. Although Ye Chen didn't usually pursue these jade antiques, he was still amazed when he held it in his hand.Li Junhao also picked up a red agate bracelet casually, held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.Huang Louping next to him was dumbfounded.

Ye Chen said: "The mission of the two of you is to send people to gather all the gold, silver and jewels from the various bandit camps, and then escort them back to Kaifeng with five hundred black cavalry, and hand them all over to the court."

Li Junhao and Huang Louping hesitated to speak, but Ye Chen knew what they wanted to say, and said with a cold snort, "Although these gold and silver jewels are not visible to the court, they are all in the open, and we cannot eat them, otherwise the court will not like them. If the emperor doesn't like it, it will only bring some trouble and suspicion to our Huaxia Weifu. Besides, the most important thing our Huaxia Weifu needs is money. This money may be a lot, but it is not in the eyes of this Marquis. Give them to the court on their own initiative With the Son of Heaven, there will naturally be endless benefits."

"Don't worry! Both the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department have made great contributions this time. After returning to Kaifeng and verifying the credits and reporting them step by step, in addition to the rewards from the imperial court, the Marquis will naturally ask the Department of Internal Affairs to award rewards. Absolutely not Let the hard work of the brothers these days be in vain. But we must use our own money, and we must not touch the seized hands of these rogues."

The two respectfully said yes, and Ye Chen specially sent five hundred black cavalry escorts, and Li Junhao and Huang Louping, the envoy of the Security Department of the Operation Department, were in charge of the matter at the same time, in order to prevent anyone from being enriched during the process.
