Chapter 8 Chapter 114 Men Rampant

Leaders and clansmen, Arutai refused to accept my conditions for exchanging prisoners. In order to attract people's hearts, he executed our Mandu Latu!Today, I will execute his adopted daughter in public, and pay for it with blood! An elder in the tribe named Lao Biao sneered and said: Our hero Mandu Latu, together with the 3,000 warriors in my tribe, suffered heavy casualties. Is killing a woman a blood debt? Huo'a's eyes were like lightning, and fell on his face, he said in a deep voice: Lord Lao Biao, three thousand of my soldiers died on the battlefield!They burned the food and grass of Arutai, which greatly lost the morale of Arutai, so that our army won a complete victory.How can it be confused with the killing of Mandu Latu? Are you deliberately instigating the dissatisfaction of the tribe against me?

Lao Biao was a man in his forties, with a goatee, thin cheeks, and dark eyes. Huo'a is a woman who was brought back by Hashha, and Lao Biao has always been unconvinced that this outsider can replace Hashha to lead the entire tribe.Lao Biao's idea has a great market in the tribe, and the main person who challenges Huo'a's status is this Lao Biao. In the past, Mandu Ratu fully supported Huo'a, but Lao Biao couldn't help it.Now that Mandu Ratu was killed, he put on an appearance of defending Mandu Ratu and took the opportunity to challenge Huo'a. Hearing what Huo'a said, Lao Biao smiled strangely and said: Speaking of burning the grain and grass of Alutai, I remember that when Hatun ordered the attack, he said that there was more than one granary in Arutai, but what about now?If not, Master Mandu Ratu would have been able to retreat after burning Alutai’s food and grass, and return calmly. Why would he be ordered to continue searching and go deep into the enemy’s rear, causing the entire army to be wiped out? Hatun, I’m afraid of you It is to blame!

Huo Aqiang suppressed his anger and said: "The news changes rapidly, and it is inevitable that the collected information is true or false.This order was issued by the Great Khan himself. I just obey the Great Khan's order. If Mr. Laobiao refuses to obey, you can go to the camp of Princess Samuel to defend against the Great Khan!If Mr. Lao Biao thinks that killing Ulantuya is not a blood debt, then I can hand over all the soldiers and horses to you and go to attack Alutai! Huo'a's beautiful face was covered with frost, he sneered disdainfully, looked at Lao Biao and said: "Although Alutai has become a lost dog, the Ming army has already intervened. Lord Lao Biao, do you dare to go?"

you Lao Biao's face was reddened by the anti-general, and he wanted to wait to say more, but Mandu Latu's younger brother Shaobu said impatiently: Huo Ahatun, Lord Lao Biao, please stop arguing!Kill Wulantuya first, and sacrifice my elder brother's spirit in heaven! Huo'a and Lao Biao each gave a cold snort and said nothing. A group of people got out of the big tent one after another and came to the front of the tent. The big flag hanging on the high pole in front of the tent had already been put down, and the rope was tied to Sakura's body. In front of the flagpole, there was an incense table, on which incense was burned, ready to put When Sakura lights the sky lanterns, a big ceremony is held to offer sacrifices to Mandu Ratu.

The guards lined up neatly, surrounding the tall pole in the center, revealing a circular open space in the middle, and many tribal warriors gathered in the distance.Most of them were wounded, some were only hanging their arms, some were holding on to crutches. When they sent out the army, they were many times stronger than they are now, but now most of them have been buried in the wasteland, and most of the survivors are disabled. There is still a tinge of pity for Sakura, after all, it is only a small number of people who have some feelings of pity and sympathy. Hatred fills their chests, and most people are full of joy. Without intervention, the possibility of continuing the fight is very slim.

Because at the beginning of the army, no one thought that this battle would be so difficult.First, a main force of 20,000 people was eaten away, making the originally dominant situation into a balanced battle situation, and then the two sides always win and lose each other, and the weakening of strength is carried out simultaneously, and this balance has never been broken. As a result, the casualties were many times larger than the pre-war estimates. If the fight continues now, even if the Tatars are destroyed, their own strength will be completely lost, or they will only need a few years to recover, but will those countries around Oara miss their chance?Therefore, they had to retain some self-protection strength. Since the war could not go on, the execution of Ulan Tuya became a means for them to deceive themselves, or the dead would have something to say.

Huo Ahatun glanced complicatedly at Sakura who was tied under the pole. She didn't say anything more. The leaders and elders of the tribe were all by her side. It would be useless to say anything else. Mrs. Huo A just said in a deep voice: Hang her up and prepare for torture! The rope was held by two soldiers, and Sakura's feet left the ground inch by inch.She looked very embarrassed, her whole body was wrapped in sackcloth, her hands and feet could not move, her long hair was hanging down, stuck in locks by butter, dripping oil continuously, making her pretty face Slightly faded. There is an iron ring at the top of the high pole. When she is hoisted up little by little, an iron hook behind the rope just fits into the iron ring, and she is fixed on the flagpole.

At a high place, the wind is even harsher. Although her hair is sticky with oil, it is still blown up by the wind. At this time, she looks like a flying witch, but she has no wings, and her whole body has been splashed with oil. wrapped in sackcloth.Perhaps, her appearance at the moment is more like a butterfly in the process of transformation, with her head poking out of her shell, while her body is still trapped in the shell With a shrill cry, a few vultures circled above Sakura's head, adding to the cold and stern atmosphere. They are waiting to eat Sakura's body. It is impossible for the fire to refine the whole person. After the person is burned to death, the iron rope tied to her body will still fix her remains on the top of the pole, and they can feast There was a pause, until their sharp beaks took the whole person to bits and pieces, and finally became an empty white skeleton.

stop! stop! Xia Xun and Peng Hao galloped like lightning.Since they had passed the first cordon and changed horses at this moment, they did not attract enough attention from the sentry at first. When they found something was wrong, they sent a warning to the back and surrounded them. Xia Xun and Peng Hao whipped his horse like flying, he had already broken through and rushed to the second cordon, so that they all fell behind and chased after him. But these police posts were not too worried. There were only two people who came here. Although they didn't know where they came from, what danger could there be for mere two people?So they were not in a hurry to catch up, and they didn't shoot and kill the two of them brazenly with bows and arrows.They were curious about these two people who stormed the camp inexplicably.

Xia Xun's people and horses were united, running like lightning, and he saw that he was in front of Huo'a's camp. The gate of the simple camp was impressively in sight, and the Diao Dou Watchtower was vivid in his memory. His hand involuntarily grabbed the handle of the cold knife, just In a moment, the cold handle of the knife became consistent with his body temperature, as if fused into a part of his body, connected by blood. These years, he was born and died, and he was used to seeing the bones. His heart is as hard as iron, and his heart is as stone as stone. However, this kind of experience did not freeze his emotions. On the contrary, the emotions became more intense, but he was more used to deeply empathizing with them. Buried in the bottom of my heart, let it ferment quietly until it emits a strong aroma of wine.

He has not been so impulsive for many years. He once recalled some impulsive and reckless things when he was young, and he thought it was just young and frivolous and immature. Only now did he realize that in fact, he has not changed for so many years.He wants to be a famous minister of a generation, he wants to be the patriarch of a family, he wants to be hereditary and create a big family business for future generations, he wants to be the most qualified husband in the eyes of his women He has worked hard for a long time, but in the end, he is still him, he is him.If he hadn't already made a major decision in his heart, or if he couldn't get rid of the shackles on his body so easily, if he got rid of all these shackles, he would just be a person who is unwilling to take responsibility, unwilling to take responsibility, and doing things for the sake of love and righteousness. , A passionate man willing to die!Of course, such a man has many flaws, but it feels good to be himself!It's great to live like this! Looking at the gate, the wara soldiers on the archery tower roared loudly, and a few sharp arrows shot in front of Xia Xun's horse to scare him off, but Xia Xun still raised his horse forward.Puff puff!The sentry was no longer polite, and a few sharp arrows shot into the horse's neck. The horse screamed and fell down. At the same time, Xia Xun got up on the horse's back, somersaulted in the air, avoided the rain of arrows, and reached the gate Before. Holding the knife in his hand, with a bang, sawdust flew, and under the blow of thunder, the entire gate like a wooden fence was smashed to pieces. Xia Xun raised the knife and entered, and every step he stepped out was a distance of nearly ten feet.The snow in the gate has been swept away, but the ground is frozen solid. Every time Xia Xun's figure falls, his knees bend slightly, and then straighten. The moment he shakes lightly, his strong figure is more than an inch off the ground, floating like a gust of breeze. Skimming in the air, flowing clouds and flowing water, it is a few steps away from ordinary people. Although his movements were fast, his figure was still calm, but his eyes became extremely sharp, black and bright, shining with a palpitating light.Fortunately, most of the people in the camp gathered around the big tent of the Chinese Army to watch the ceremony. Xia Xun was piercing through the tents. The guards guarding the gate could no longer use bows and arrows to deal with him. Some soldiers who came to stop him after hearing the news And where is his opponent. Xia Xun swung his saber, lightning flashed frequently, the spear broke and people died, and he killed the Chinese army all the way in blood. Panting, Peng Hao chased after him, shouting loudly in Mongolian: The Principality of the Ming Dynasty is here, those who don't want to suffer from the massacre, give up your weapons and make way! In front of the tent of the Chinese army, Mrs. Huo'a shook a mace arrow with a piece of oilcloth tied on the tip of the arrow to the giant butter candle on the incense table, and the flame was brightly lit. She handed the arrow to Shaobu and said in a deep voice : Master Shaobu, you come to execute! Bow! With a loud roar, Shaobu snatched the hard bow from the guard who was rushing forward, took the rocket, and buckled the string. The bow creaked like a full moon, and aimed at Sakura hanging on the head of the stick!
