5days ago traverse Novels 2
In the flat fields, a team of Zhou army soldiers spread on the road.

There was also a Han man in short clothes in the public, pointing to a village deep in his sight and said: General, the Khitans stationed nearby are all there!

At present, a general stretched his neck and looked east, his eyes staying on the flags on the village... There is obviously no need to plant flags in ordinary villages.

The general immediately said: We must sweep these small places for the main striker.Wang Jun Envoy!

The last one will be there!

The general stretched out his palm and stretched forward, then turned to the right, and said decisively: You lead the headquarters to attack from the left wing and surround it from the north to the east!

Get order!

Li Jun Envoy, you go to the right wing.

Get order!

Just in a few blinks of fingers, the general immediately drew his sword, raised it upright, turned around and shouted: The rest of his body follows me!Those with bald hair on the top of their heads and those with strange clothes are all killed!

The civil servant of the military government behind him immediately reminded: Is the general's life to go to the top if he kills civilians?

The general said coldly: Someone ran to your yard to burn, kill, and loot without your consent. What other reason should I say when I use a knife?Hebei is our territory!

After saying that, he pointed the sword forward.After hearing the general's words, the army immediately slapped the horses and accelerated, and the sound of horse hooves and shouts immediately started to make a fuss on the snowy countryside.

The war horses ran faster and faster, and a herd of horses rushed out, and the iron armor shone brightly in the snow and reflected light. Although there were only a few hundred cavalry formations, it seemed unstoppable.

There was actually a simple wooden arrow tower built with thatched roof at the entrance of the village, and fences and village gates were built.The horse tribe did not stop and rushed straight towards the village gate.

Wow, swow, swow, swow... An arrow shot out from the village.There was a sound of ding-ding-dangling, like a stone thrown into the water, without affecting the charge of the Zhou army's horses wearing iron armor.

The sergeant on the arrow tower drew his bow and shot it at a horse and an arrow.Sure enough, the horse's leather armor was not very defensive. With a neigh, a horse knelt on the ground, and the person on the horse's back screamed and fell.

But the Zhou army's cavalry rushed to the front in an instant, and slap... Many arrows were nailed to the wood of the arrow tower, and the sergeant on it immediately turned pale. Sure enough, he immediately hit several arrows on his body and fell from it.

Bang!The corpse with arrows hit the ground, like a bird shooting from the sky.

Bang!There was another loud noise, and a cavalry actually knocked over the wooden barrier.

A group of horse soldiers immediately rushed in through the gap.

The Liao cavalry inside rushed up to fight, and there was a loud bang and a loud sound of fighting.

The Zhou army and the horses kept pouring in like a flood, and the Liao cavalry were immediately swept and swallowed up by a large number of people.

The horse soldiers on the left and right wings also broke through the barriers and rushed in several directions. Under the gray sky, the old houses, there were bright lights in the sky, and rockets shot towards the roof.

The torches were thrown around, and a fire broke out in a short while, and thick smoke was rolling in the village.

Rumble... The roar of horse hooves sounded loudly in the thick smoke, and only Zhou soldiers were seen on the way.

A dog barked his tail and ran out of a burning room.A Zhou army knight turned sideways on the back of a galloping horse, pulled his bow and shot an arrow, and the dog barked and fell to the ground.

Soon, many Khitans and Xi people rushed out of the fired room. They first knelt on the side of the road, holding their hands slanted, and said something, but they did not pay attention to the Zhou army soldiers, but they kept flying arrows from the horses.

Those people got up and ran away, and were chased by Zhou Jun’s martial artists riding on horseback. They caught up with him with a knife, and screams sounded from time to time in the fire.

In less than half an hour, the village turned into a ruin surrounded by black smoke, with corpses everywhere, and a burning smell of mucus filled the air.

Every time, the vanguard leader Shi Yanchao arrived here with a team of men, commended the generals who led the army on the spot, praised him for his good work, and recorded him as his first military merits in the Liao Dynasty.

Some people along the way were not afraid of martial artists. People heard that the royal army was expeditioning the north and came to send food and drinks in the middle of the road.

Shi Yanchao was very happy to see this scene and loudly ordered in front of the people: I will order all the tribes, Han people in Hebei, to kill them!

But he soon found a woman crying on the side of the road with her child in her arms.

When Shi Yanchao saw that the woman was wearing a coarse cloth dress, completely dressed as a Han Chinese, he asked casually: Why is that woman crying?

A general hurriedly replied: The woman whom the general asked someone to ask about it just now seemed to be Xu Erniang or Wang Erniang, but her man was from Khitan.The man was killed and his home was burned, so we ignored him when we were crying.

After the general said that, he added: Most of the local women in the Khitan family were stolen by force.

Shi Yanchao rode on the horse with an unhappy look on his face, frowned, and repeated: Why did she cry?

The general was slightly stunned, reached out and scratched his forehead, and hurriedly said: She was robbed, maybe she shouldn't care about the dead Khitan... But the Khitan is the father of her child. She has no father, so she may think it's a pity.The handsome woman is maternal and cares about her children very much.

Shi Yanchao said expressionlessly: I will teach you such a simple thing?Without that child, wouldn’t she have nothing to do with the Khitans?

The general was stunned, but immediately clasped his fists and said: I understand!

He turned the direction of the horse, left the team, rode his horse back and pulled the sword out of his waist, jumped off the horse's back, and walked towards the woman.

The woman looked at the Zhou army general with tears in her eyes, and sighed softly when she heard him sigh.

The general walked to the woman, glanced at her, reached out and scratched his forehead.The woman stopped crying and looked at him in confusion.

The general suddenly raised his sword gently and poked the swaddle in her arms.His movements were understated, but they were soon accurate and immediately pulled the sword back.

The woman was stunned for a moment, looked down and saw the blood stains on the swaddle in her arms soaked out.Her face suddenly changed. She spread one hand and saw the blood in her hands. She lifted the swaddle again and saw that she looked at her body trembled.

Ah!The woman screamed and screamed at the child.

She rushed towards the general like crazy, and immediately several soldiers stood in front of her and grabbed her without saying a word.

The woman's strength is naturally not as strong as a group of imperial guards. She is not afraid of the moment, so she can't help but watch him leave.

Shi Yanchao forgot about the little thing just now and dispatched the main force of the striker's large stock to continue to advance north.

...The Zhou army vanguard had 18,000 cavalrymen. He encountered no decent resistance along the way, and only sporadic conflicts occurred, sweeping away the Liao army strongholds along the way.

The main force of Guo Shao's central army followed the vanguard and drove across the Juma River, and a large number of troops rushed into the border of Liao.

The endless fields, and the dark soil still have unmelted snow. This land is like an old man, revealing the traces of time.

On several roads, the horses slowly moved northwards in a mighty manner, and countless flags were floating in the wind.

The troops were all Zhou army imperial guards, and countless people were wearing similar clothes and armor, so it was difficult for the soldiers inside to tell who was who.

Zhao Hu is one of them. He rode his horse silently in the crowd, just having to follow people.The horses walked slowly, which felt slower, but the infantry walked much faster.

At this moment, he suddenly found a man standing there blankly beside the Canhuan Duan Wall on the front.

Zhao Hu was immediately attracted by the attention. Not only did the man look strange, but he also felt that his figure looked familiar.

He didn't say anything for a moment, but just looked at the man and continued moving forward.

The soldiers around also found the woman, but no one paid attention to it... an unarmed and disheveled woman is not worthy of the army's concern.

As he got closer, Zhao Hu finally recognized him, and his expression immediately became exaggerated.The slow movement immediately became rushing, and he rushed out of the queue as soon as he kicked the horse's belly.

Zhao Hu!Ten generals shouted from behind.

Zhao Hu was anxious, but was afraid of military law, so he shouted: I know the people over there...

When the woman shouted here, the woman turned around and looked over.Zhao Hu ran to her front, turned over and jumped off the horse, walked over quickly, and widened his eyes: Xu Erniang... Erniang...

The woman named Xu Erniang also stared at the young man wearing armor and holding sharp edges: Are you Zhao Hu?

It's Ah!Zhao Hu's expression on his face was very complicated, and his face was almost distorted.He walked to Xu Erniang, opened his mouth, and finally said: Erniang, you...

Zhao Hu's heart was extremely chaotic for a moment, and countless scattered memories surged into his heart. He was pounding the wet clothes by the pond, looking at the grinding people she dared not approach... and the broken women's clothes and blood on the straw in the Xu family's yard.

Now, the woman in front of her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, her long hair was covered with straw, and her coarse cloth clothes were dirty and messy.

She is no longer the little lady she used to be, but she is already a woman at this time.

Zhao Hu gritted his teeth, his eyes were astringent and sour, his throat squirmed, and his throat smelled salty.

Tears suddenly shed in Xu Erniang's eyes: They killed my child.

Zhao Hu exhaled and said in a trembling voice: Do you have a child?Who killed your child?

Xu Erniang raised her arm and pointed at the Zhou army on the road.

Zhao Hu lowered his head and thought for a while, he could probably guess that her child was snatching her Khitans, and the one who killed her child was the Zhou army's vanguard.

Zhao Hu was silent for a moment and said: Your brother was killed by the Khitans at that time. Don’t you know?

What?Xu Erniang widened her eyes, her eyes were filled with tears, and suddenly she softened her body and knelt onto the cold ground.

Zhao Hu stood there, and the woman in front of him was the little lady he missed day and night, but now he doesn't know what to say.

What is the beautiful lady who once blushed when she looked at her? Now she has become!

Zhao Hu looked back on this land and didn't know where he was for a moment.I don't know what caused all this...
