It was dark.Everything around was eerily quiet.Except for the sound of the procession marching into the city, there was not a sound in the entire wind coming to the town.Mangdong looked up at the sky, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.He clearly remembered that it should be noon, but it seemed to be evening."
Alert all around!"
At this time, the army had already crossed the drawbridge behind the fall of the city gate, and gradually walked into the town of Fenglai, and the Mangdong shouted at this time.The surrounding armor soldiers were more or less affected by this strange atmosphere, and they all clenched the swords in their hands and looked around vigilantly.Before entering the city, there was a long corridor, and the already dim sunlight could not shine into it at all, making this corridor look even more eerie.Mangdong led the army, walking in the road, every time he landed, every time he stepped on the sand and gravel paved on the ground, the light sound made his heart can't help but worry.Finally, he walked out of the corridor and came to the town of Fenglai.The moment they stepped into the town, the army sped up without an order, assembled in the open space in front of the town, and set up a posture, swords facing around, nervously staring at the city wall and the surrounding houses that might become the Liao people's ambush bunkers.Standing in the center of the line, the Mang Cave looked around nervously, his gaze sweeping over everything around him again and again.But it was a stalemate for nearly half an hour, and there was no movement around.Mangdong couldn't help but muttered in his heart, his brows furrowed, and he secretly wondered if something was wrong.The adjutant beside him looked up at him: "General, this ......"
Mang Gu obviously knew what he wanted to say, he thought for a while with a calm face, and then said: "Leave three thousand people on standby, and the rest of the men will go to the city gate with me to have a look." ”When the soldiers heard this, they quickly counted the men and horses, and led them carefully to the city gate.Two thousand armor soldiers walked together, even if the Mang Cave had deliberately instructed everyone to lower their voices, it stands to reason that the Liao defenders on the city gate should not be unaware, but in the process of going up, the city gate was as silent as in the city.Finally, when they reached the city gates.Mang Cave thought that at this point, the city gate was either empty, or a large number of Liao people were already waiting for them.But at this time, the sight was very much beyond the expectations of the cave.At this moment, on the city wall, there are sparsely standing figures of nearly a hundred Liao soldiers outside, and they are standing there motionless, no different from the scene when Liu Zizai called the battle under the city before.Seeing this scene, Mangdong was about to step forward, but as soon as he stepped out, the adjutant beside him stretched out his hand and grabbed Manggu: "General, be careful!"
”Hearing this, Mang Cave didn't pay attention to it, but just took a few steps forward by himself.Seeing this, the adjutant couldn't stop him anymore, so he could only take the soldiers and follow quickly.It is also very strange to say, this time, the footsteps of the Mang Cave no longer have the slightest intention of deliberately suppressing it, but those Liao soldiers standing at the city gate are still standing still, as if they have not noticed the slightest abnormality.In this way, Mangdong walked straight behind them with a group of armor soldiers, Mang Cave stretched out his hand and gently touched one of the armor soldiers, and the armor soldier's body fell straight to the ground at this time, silent.Such a change was beyond everyone's expectations, and the adjutant beside him saw this, and at this time he walked to another Liao soldier standing at the city gate, stretched out his hand and touched it, and the body of the Liao soldier immediately fell to the ground, lying motionless on the ground.They......
He's dead?
…… The army got the news and soon entered the city.Li Danqing stood in the open space in Fenglai Town with everyone, looking at the corpses of the Liao soldiers who were moved down one by one by the soldiers, his brows furrowed, he looked at the Mang Cave beside him and asked, "You mean, these Liao people were already dead when you went up?"
”Mang Gu didn't dare to hesitate, and nodded at that time: "Yes." ”When Li Danqing heard this, he didn't ask any more, but looked down at the corpses of those Liao people.The armor worn by the corpses of these Liao people is covered with thin ice, and there are some frost marks on their faces, the weather in this Luwu County is cold, and it is not very possible for the living to produce these frost and ice, obviously the death of these Liao people has not just happened.It is very likely that before the arrival of the army, these Liao people were already dead."
So......
I wasn't playing the harp to a cow just now, but talking to a dead man?
”Liu Zizai on the side thought of his "coy" shouting under the city gate, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.However, at this time, Li Danqing did not have the mind to ridicule him, he squatted down and groped for a while on the corpses of those Liao people."
There are no obvious external injuries, the weather is too cold, and I am afraid it is difficult to discern the specific time of their death from the stiffness of the corpses.Li Danqing quickly issued an order, and several servants did not dare to slack off, so they recruited a soldier and carried away several corpses of Liao people.Then, Li Danqing stood up, and Gongsun Zhi beside him stepped forward and said: "Shizi, this thing is indeed a little strange......
"What are the Liao people doing here?"
Why did they drop so many corpses of Liao people, and besides, these Liao people didn't look like they were killed on the battlefield. ”"The Liao people's actions this time are full of weirdness, and it is not easy to figure it out."
Li Danqing shook his head and said.After saying this, he turned his head to look at Gongsun Zhi and asked, "By the way, apart from these hundred or so corpses, have you found anything else?"
”Gongsun Zhi said: "I have sent people to search the town, so far, except for the bodies of these Liao people, no trace of anyone else has been found in the town. ”"What about the people of the town?
Are they all gone?
”Li Danqing asked with a frown.Gongsun Zhi shook his head: "There are no traces of living people in the city. ”"Who opened the gate of the city?"
Li Danqing said confusedly.Gongsun Zhi obviously couldn't answer this question, he was about to say something, but at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation not far away: "Come here!"
”The direction from which the voice came from was the west side of Fenglai Town, and when Li Danqing and the others heard this, they hurriedly led the army towards that place.They had only taken a few steps when a soldier came to meet them and lead them all the way, and after crossing a long street, they came to a gate that looked quite spectacular.A plaque in front of the house fell to the ground, the plaque has been cracked, a small half is missing, and it is also stained with some blood-stained things, but a few words of the town lord's mansion can be vaguely seen.The armor soldier who led the way was pale, and without saying much, he led the people into the house.And at the entrance of the house is a large open space, and the scene on the open space makes all those who see this scene clearly, in an instant, their bodies tremble, and their faces suddenly look ugly.In the open space in the mansion, there were no fierce ambushes, nor were they rumors of Yin soldiers that everyone had been worried about.All there was was was a pile of grass that was several feet high......
Corpses!
Among them were old men with flowers, children waiting to be fed, men with swarthy faces, and women with frightened expressions on their faces.The cold weather in Luwu County did not decompose the corpses, so much so that the expression on their faces seemed to stay at the moment before they died.The fear and sorrow seemed to be what happened a moment ago, but it was forever frozen in that moment.Only the blackened bloodstains on the ground told of the massacre, a tragedy that had long been a foregone conclusion."
Bastard!"
Liu Zizai finally couldn't help but let out an angry scolding.The man's fists were clenched tightly, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged."
These Liao people are really transformed into beasts!"
He said angrily, it looked like he was eager to kill the Liao camp right now and cut seven in and seven out.Everyone was silent, of course they did not lack Liu Zizai's blood, but just like this, the scenes of thousands of unjust souls that fell in front of them turned pale after all, and they ...... after all, "After all, we are a step late." ”Li Danqing looked up at the group of Liao people piling up a mountain of corpses like defeated grass, and said.He didn't choose to flee, his eyes swept over the corpses one by one, trying to remember the appearance of each face, and digest their grievances and their unwillingness one by one, all in his heart."
Send someone to bury them, use the household registration list brought from the Ten Thousand Books Division, check them one by one, and if they can distinguish them, they will be buried on a monument, and if they can't be distinguished, they will be buried together."
Li Danqing said.Gongsun Zhi nodded yes, and hurriedly called a large group of armor soldiers to start working on the matter.Immediately, he took another deep breath to calm down the stuffiness in his chest a little, and then walked to Li Danqing's side and said."
But we still haven't found the person who opened the door, we have searched up and down in this town, and still no trace of the living has been found, and my subordinates are afraid that there are strange things hidden behind this, especially why those Liao people died on the city gate, if they don't find out, their subordinates are uneasy."
Gongsun Zhi said.The Liao people finally occupied this Luwu County, although Fenglai Town is not considered to be a high city and deep pool, but it also belongs to the important land of Luwu County, and it is indeed a very unreasonable thing for the Liao people to give up so easily, and Gongsun Zhi's worries are by no means unfounded.Li Danqing understood his concerns, he nodded, and then said: "Put the corpses of the Liao people in one place, let the heavy soldiers take care of them, and at the same time let the servants speed up the progress and check if there is anything strange about those corpses, as for the matter of opening the city gate, ......"
Speaking of this, Li Danqing suddenly paused, looked back at the corpses of the people all over the ground, and then said again."
I don't think there's a need to look it up."
