Mr. Wen pondered for a moment before replying, “There's only one Wang family in Liushu Lane with four members.” 。The couple, along with their two sonsAnd on the official road, Liu Biao and Liu Lao Si, who had been fighting back to back, finally waited for reinforcements.
Both of them were covered in blood, their own and more from the barbarians.
"Kill the barbarians, revenge, revenge!"
"Damn beasts, I'll chop off your heads!"
The villagers, red-eyed and wielding axes, charged up with reckless abandon, quickly turning the tide of battle. But it was only a slight improvement at best.
The Barbarians were caught off guard just now, but after calming down they are not as easy to kill.
Fortunately, the villagers had been hunting wolves and bandits in the mountains and practicing for two or three months. They were no longer the weak farmers they once were.
It wouldn't be so easy for the Man to defeat them!
At this time, the women and children of the village finally ran to the dock.
"Help! Help me! There are many people, please save us, oh no, help!"
The children were also crying hysterically, "Help! Save our father!"
The soldiers guarding the pier this time could see clearly that they were all common people from Tianwu. Immediately, someone stepped forward and asked.
"Are there really bandits How many have come"
Li Lao'er replied loudly, "Twenty or thirty of them, all riding horses, with bows and arrows! The young men from our village have already started fighting the barbarians. Please, General, hurry and save them!"
"Oh, dear me! Help! Please, General, save our men!"
"Help, we finally made it here and now we've encountered barbarians, oh no, help!"
The elderly women also cried, and the children were even more disoriented, running around looking for their parents.
Grandma Li held her granddaughter, feeling a chill run down her spine.
"Doctor Zhang, please save Little Blessing, woo woo, she hurt her head!"
Dr. Zhang had nearly run out of life, struggling to step forward when the Centurion once again requested from the General.
"General, I'll take a hundred men to have a look Thirty barbarians aren't much, truly a victory! It's all thanks to your merit, General!"
The general, however, let out a cold snort. "That's easy for you to say. Those barbarians are so ferocious, what do you have to defeat them with Besides, even if we win, what if we lose Who will take responsibility then"
Zhang, the divine doctor, with his hot temper, exploded at that moment!
"What are you saying, you little wretch! You're a general, it's your duty to protect the people, yet you're afraid of losing a battle and abandoning them in need! What's your name I'm going to report you, skin you alive!"
The general already looked down upon this group of refugees, and hearing this only made him angrier.
“Old man, who are you talking about! I refuse to help you, what can you do about it! You say you are Tianwu people and refugees from the north It’s been half a year, who knows where you came from! I even say you are barbarians' spies, trying to infiltrate Jiangnan!”
He was just speaking off the cuff, and after he said it, he thought the reason was really good.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Arrest them and interrogate them first. This general suspects they are spies sent from the north!"
The soldiers hesitated a little. After all, they weren't fools. These people clearly looked like their own countrymen. And the elderly, women, and children had escaped, while the men were still fighting desperately with the barbarians at the rear.
Not only did they not send troops to help, but they also captured the elderly and children of others. It's really unconscionable.
That centurion gritted his teeth and persuaded, “General, why don’t we wait a little longer Let’s find out more before we say anything…”
The general turned around and kicked the centurion, "You mother**er want to disobey orders, huh Refusing to listen three times now, you don't want to live anymore!"
The military captain could no longer bear it. He stubbornly yelled, "General, these are our Heavenly Martial citizens who have finally escaped here. We cannot stand idly by and watch them die! Even if they're far away, to be right in front of us and still watch them be killed by barbarians… how can we do that!"
The general, feeling that his face had been slapped, drew his waist knife to hack at the lieutenant.
Master Zhang quickly treated Jia Yin's head wound, but Old Lady Li's arrow wound was too severe to be treated immediately.
Hearing this general blabber on and on, he reached into his bosom, only to realize halfway through that he had fed the poison to the bandits on the road. The old man was so angry, he was about to explode.
"You bastard, you're lucky to be alive today, or I would make you bleed from every pore and have you meet the King of Hell immediately!"
The general was also furious and retorted, "I'm not sending troops, and you all will meet the Grim Reaper!"
Wen Hai also went to fight alongside the barbarians. Leaving Wen Xiang to support Cui Madam, he stepped forward, his face black with anger, and said...
"I am Wen Qinglin, an editor of the Imperial Academy, and a close minister to the emperor! You must immediately send troops, or I will report everything that happened today to the emperor, word for word!"
The general hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at the ragged and distressed old men, women, and children, as well as the soldiers standing beside them, he raised his chin again.
"You say you're a Hanlin Academy editor, who can prove it Besides, we are guarding the docks to protect the Emperor and Empress's safety. We cannot leave our posts without permission. You, an editor, disregard the safety of the Emperor and Empress and only care about those lowly people, what crime should you be charged with!"
"You!" Mr. Wen's eyes darkened with fury, and Mrs. Cui gritted her teeth, pushing Mr. Wen aside and stepping forward to berate them, "Are you soldiers from the Dingbei Army I am Mrs. Dingbei Hou! I order you to send one hundred soldiers immediately to rescue the civilians!"
The general turned his head and looked at her, then burst into laughter, delighted beyond measure.
“I told you all, you were spies, and you still won't admit it. Why pretend to be anyone else, when you could just pretend to be the Duchess of Dingbei The Duchess of Dingbei died before the capital was moved! My sister just married into the Dingbei Hou Mansion a few days ago, she is the Duchess of Dingbei now! Hahahaha, you're all doomed!”
He waved his hand, "Come here, arrest them!"
This time, the soldiers didn't hesitate. They were indeed from the Dingbei Army, and the Marquis of Dingbei had just married a new wife...
Mrs. Cui's face was as pale as death, and her legs went weak as she almost fell. Mr. Wen caught her in time and steadied her.
After listening for a while, Li Laoer and Li Laotai et al. also felt cold in their hearts.
What does it matter if they run to the docks These soldiers don't even want to go to war!
Doctor Zhang is no good, Mr. Wen is not capable, and Mrs. Cui is even worse!
Could it be that they exhausted themselves, only to die at the threshold of survival!
"Damn you, you dogs! I'll fight you to the death!"
"You are the scum, your whole family is scum!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate.
"If you won't let us live, we die together! We die together!"
“Fight them to the death! Alas, a father can't live if his child is gone. I shall not live either!”
"Oh, Lord, open your eyes and strike these beasts down! Our lives are so miserable!"
Li Laotai was truly mad. She shoved Jiayin into Cui Fu's arms, still carrying a long arrow on her shoulder, and charged headlong at the general!
The general hadn't expected these refugee scum to dare strike back. He was caught off guard, struck in the stomach by Old Lady Li, and fell backward with a yell of pain.
Before he could get up, the crazed Li Lao Tai was already riding on top of him.
“My son is fighting with all his might! My granddaughter has a head injury! Our family is going to die! Then you shouldn't live either! We killed the wolves, we killed the bandits, we barely made it over the mountains, and you just stood there and watched us die! Then let's die together, let's die together!”
She cursed, then grabbed, and in the blink of an eye, she turned that general into a blood-soaked gourd.
The other women also rushed forward, crying and helping out.
Some people were pressing down on the general's arms and legs, some were kicking his head hard with their feet, and some even held onto his hands and bit him!n also felt sorry for his daughter, and couldn't bear to see her wronged...By the time the sun was high in the sky, Ye Shan rode his carriage back to the village to get something. Just as he was about...
