C1715 The People from Liaoguo also Came
"I know, I know." The man kept nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice.
"Those people just now, were they the army of the Imperial Court?" Huang Feng asked, although those people were indeed wearing the military uniform of Song Dynasty. However, Huang Feng couldn't guarantee that those people weren't disguised by the people of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, he wanted to confirm it.
"Yes, they are from the Imperial Court!" The man said. At this point, Huang Feng could clearly feel the anger on his face. Clearly, they were very angry that the people of the Imperial Court had attacked them.
However, it was useless to be angry. If it wasn't for Huang Feng and the others, * Hong Long...... * Therefore... This man was very grateful to Huang Feng and the others. Regarding Huang Feng's question... Even if Huang Feng didn't interrogate him, he would tell them the truth.
"Why did the people of the Imperial Court attack you?" Huang Feng frowned and asked. Shouldn't the Imperial Court's army be fighting the Liao Kingdom's army right now? Shouldn't they be protecting these civilians? Why would they attack these civilians?
If Huang Feng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. However, what he saw just now, and what this man said... This made Huang Feng certain that those people were indeed from the Imperial Court. However, this made Huang Feng even more puzzled.
"They want to kill Liang and take credit for it!" That person gritted his teeth and said. Clearly, he hated the army of the Imperial Court.
"Taking credit for killing Liang?"
"Yes, this kind of thing often happens in border counties. Those people from the Liao Kingdom often come back to the border to fight in the grass valleys. Robbing grain and population. The army of the Imperial Court is unable to defeat them. They would not dare to fight, but they were afraid that the Imperial Court would blame them. Hence, he would often kill some of us commoners and then hand over our heads. Acquire military merits. " The man said. Obviously, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
"There's such a thing?" When the girls heard this person's words, they were all shocked. Obviously, they had never thought that such a thing would happen.
This was also because they normally didn't care much about history. Huang Feng, on the other hand, was very interested in this man's words. Because, on Earth, in the true history of China... Such sentiments often occurred at the border regions, especially at the end of each dynasty. Such incidents were even more common.
However, Huang Feng had never thought that there would be such a thing here. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he accepted it.
"Yes." The man said, "This time, the Liao Kingdom's army is here. The Imperial Court's army will not be able to defend against them at the border. We were defeated along the way, causing us, who were originally not part of the border towns, to be defeated. It has also become a border town, and those generals are afraid that the higher-ups will punish them. So, they attacked again. But... This time, it's against us, because we weren't at the border before... So, many people didn't have time to escape... So... They were targeted, they were going to kill everyone here... Pick up the head and claim the credit... And then, about what happened here... Push the blame onto the people of Liao Kingdom. This way, they will be fine."
"This is too detestable." The girls said maliciously, especially when they saw the numerous corpses on the ground. The anger on their faces became even more obvious.
Huang Feng's face had calmed down a little, but he was also disgusted by Song Bing's behavior.
"Where is the Liao Kingdom's army now?" Huang Feng continued to ask and answer. They only knew that the Liao Kingdom's army should be in this area, but they still didn't know the exact direction of the army.
"I don't know." The man said, "But, I seem to be supporting those people by saying that the Liao Kingdom's army is coming. We have to be quick."
Huang Feng nodded. At this moment, Huang Feng's ears twitched. Then, his face became serious. He said to the man, "Inform the survivors in the town to leave from the other side as soon as possible. The army of Liao Kingdom was about to arrive.
"Okay, okay." When the man heard Huang Feng's words, his facial expression changed drastically. He didn't doubt anything. Instead, he turned around and stumbled away. As he ran, he spoke to Huang Feng. The news that the people of Liao Kingdom were coming was spread out. He told the people here to leave as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?" Su Yumo knew something must have happened when she saw Huang Feng's serious face.
"The people from the Liao Kingdom are here!" Huang Feng said in a deep voice, "They are almost here."
Huang Feng had just heard the sound of thousands of iron hooves running. Obviously, this was not the army of the Song Dynasty. If the army of Song Dynasty had this kind of momentum, it was afraid that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves against the army of Liao Kingdom. That was why Huang Feng had asked that man to inform the others and leave this place as soon as possible.
"We're almost there?" The other girls were slightly stunned. They hadn't expected this. They had indeed come to the front line to take a look. However, they first encountered the troops of the Song Dynasty who were killing Liang and risking their lives. After that, before they could recover from their shock, the troops of Liao Kingdom had already arrived.
"En, soon. Let's go to the front and take a look." Huang Feng said to the girls.
"Alright."
They came to the entrance of the town and found a relatively intact house. They jumped on it and looked into the distance.
Huang Feng could vaguely see the shadows of the Liao Kingdom army. Su Yumo and the other girls did not have the ability. However, he could also see the dust and dirt in the distance. It should be caused by a large number of horses running. That should be the direction where the Liao Kingdom's army came from.
"What should we do?" Tang Muxue asked. The other girls also looked at Huang Feng. Obviously, they were waiting for him to make a decision.
"Let's find a place to hide first." Huang Feng thought for a while and said. This was a large number of troops from the Liao Kingdom. No matter how powerful he was, he had to face so many people at the same time. It was also very dangerous. In the novels, those martial arts masters... They were only a hundred enemies. If they were surrounded by the army, they would also be in danger.
Furthermore, Su Yumo and the other girls were by Huang Feng's side. Their martial arts skills were even weaker.
After making a decision, they immediately moved and retreated to the back of the town. Behind the town was a mountain, the people from the town just now. They had already climbed up the mountain and were ready to climb over it. To the other side of the mountain. They were the residents here. Naturally, they understood the environment here. So... It wouldn't be too difficult to climb over this mountain.
However, Huang Feng and the others didn't intend to do so. They were just hiding on the mountain. After climbing the mountain, Huang Feng and the others found a good spot and looked down.
The dust in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer. Soon, even Su Yumo and the other girls heard it. And what they saw was... There were also countless cavalry. Huang Feng estimated that these people should be the vanguard of Liao Kingdom. After all, cavalry were more skilled and could be in charge of clearing the way. And... Investigations.
However, since the start of the war, the Song Dynasty army's resistance had been very weak. They were simply no match for the Liao Kingdom army. Hence, the scouting nature of the vanguard cavalry had been greatly reduced. In their opinion, there was no need to investigate. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty... They did not dare to confront them head-on. They were now chasing after the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. They would kill every single one of them they encountered.
The town at the foot of the mountain wasn't too big, so... Not all the cavalry entered the town, but Huang Feng and the others found out. The cavalry were divided into two parts, and a large portion continued to advance. The other part had entered the town. Although it was only a small part, there were still over a hundred people.
When they saw the scene in the town, they didn't seem too surprised. As the army at the border, they understood the habits of the Song Dynasty soldiers. Those losers of Song Dynasty only dared to swing their swords at their own people and kill their own people. They used their heads to show their heads to claim the credit.
Therefore, the cavalry were not surprised by the scene in front of them. They came in to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, or if there were troops of Song Dynasty staying here.
However, the whole town was very quiet now. The people in the town were either killed or escaped. Not a single living person was left.
However, the cavalry seemed to have found some clues. They found that the people in the town were not all dead. It was possible that some people had escaped.
Huang Feng and the others saw it clearly on the mountain. The cavaliers below seemed to have discussed it. Then, a small team of about ten people got off their horses and headed up the mountain.
Huang Feng did not leave. Instead, he looked into the distance at the large group of cavaliers. At this time, they had already passed the front of the town. In other words, there were only hundreds of cavalry in the town. It was not a problem for him to kill them. As for the troops in front of him... When they knew that something had happened in the back, they would come back. It would probably take some time. With that time... That would be enough time for him to retreat.
After thinking it through, Huang Feng let Su Yumo and the girls hide a little more. He used an Invisibility Spell and went to the road in front of Su Yumo and the girls, waiting for the cavalry below to come up.
The ten cavalry who had given up their horses came along the mountain road. As they walked, they shouted loudly. It was unknown whether they wanted to encourage themselves or threaten the townspeople who might be hiding on the mountain.
These ten or so cavalry were all very strong. Compared to the weak people of Song Dynasty, they were more rugged and strong. In a one-on-one situation, the soldiers of Song Dynasty were not a match for these Liao people.
At this moment, a few soldiers of the Liao Kingdom had passed by Huang Feng. The soldier at the front suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered Su Yumo and the others hiding in the grass not far away.
