Chapter 466

The Mongolian cavalry acted immediately.

They quickly rushed to the side of the road, drew their waist knives and slashed.Many people kneeling on the side of the road were dazed at first, but then they reacted and began to run desperately, and were soon shot down by the Mongolian knights on the periphery.Another group of knights rode their horses into the Lifang, first along the wall of the square, killing all the way.

The tearful official jumped off his horse and wanted to say something in front of Mu Huali, but was pushed down by his companions, and then covered his mouth.

With his ears pressed against the ground, he could only hear the incessant screams.

This outdated Lifang was left by the Liao people back then, and the four walls happened to be the accomplices of the Mongols, so that the people gathered in the Lifang had nowhere to escape.

His eyes were on the ground, and he saw a corpse being thrown out of the wall by people.Occasionally, some people desperately jumped over the square wall, trying to escape into the alley behind.

After jumping down, a pretty woman sprained her ankle and crawled among the blood and corpses.A Mongolian cavalry rode over, and the woman Lihua raised her face in the rain, wailed and begged for her life, and said that she was willing to serve her as a slave.

But the Mongolian cavalry on Beijing Road probably had no shortage of people to serve them.They have vented many times, and they can continue to vent anytime, anywhere, so they don't care much about beautiful women.

The cavalry laughed and waved the scimitar casually.The woman's head flew high.

When the Mongolian cavalry first started killing, some people ran away from the streets that ran through Yangdemen and Zhuxiamen.Then they were whipped by the cavalry and threatened to continue kneeling in place.

So countless people just knelt like this, buried their faces in the ground, and listened to the screams one after another.Someone was very close to the two massacred Lifangs, kneeling on his knees, blood flowed over him, his face was stained red, he was trembling, and he didn't dare to move at all.

Because when the whole massacre was going on, Mu Huali kept watching.

No one knows if the irascible Mongolian general has other ideas, or how someone has offended him.

It has to be said that these people misunderstood.

Mu Huali was not irritable, among the Mongols, he was even particularly resolute and resourceful, completely different from ordinary Mongolian warriors, that's why he was specially promoted by Genghis Khan, and he was awarded the position of Ten Thousand Households.

What he is doing now is not out of cruelty, but out of the original rules on the grassland.

After tribal wars on the grasslands, the winners either slaughtered the losers as a whole, or used the losers as boul, that is, slaves.These slaves can own their own property, but their status in front of their masters is completely the same as that of dogs, horses and livestock. Once the master gets angry, he picks out his tendons, cuts his heart and liver, and cuts off his life.

For thousands of years, grassland tribes have attacked and killed each other, following this custom.Numerous repeated tragic struggles and endless harsh environments have tempered the grassland people into a unique appearance; the four words of compassion and softness have long since disappeared from their blood.

Under this custom, if the master treats the slave better, it is not out of kindness, but because the master saves his own property.And if the owner is not so frugal, it is normal, and no one thinks it is cruel.

With this in mind, when the Mongols went south and entered the land of the Kingdom of Jin, they immediately discovered that there were too many slaves in this land, so many that they could never be killed or used up.

That being the case, wouldn't it be an easy decision to occasionally kill a group of slaves as a deterrent?
This is like a shepherd on the prairie. If he only has ten sheep, he must take good care of each one.But if he has a thousand, ten thousand or more sheep, he doesn't have to be so entangled in killing one or two sheep.

In the final analysis, killing disobedient sheep is to make other sheep learn to obey, which is also for the good of the flock.

Mu Huali is a steady and restrained person. He really thinks so, and he does. Since he entered Dading Mansion, he rarely kills people; and every time he kills, it is like today. Real truth.

When the two people in Lifang were killed, Mu Huali rode forward and looked around slightly.He was satisfied to find that he no longer felt the dangerous gaze from before, and everyone he saw was so obedient, just like Mu Huali's obedience to Genghis Khan when he was a slave.

That's fine.

At this time, a Mongolian cavalryman showed great strength at this time, and rushed to other Lifangs without an order.

Mu Huali pointed out, and a group of Na Ke'er swarmed up, pulled him off the horse, stripped off the sheepskin jacket, pressed him on the street and beat him with more than a dozen whips, then pushed him back on the horse with laughter, looked at him The bloody ass didn't even touch the saddle.

Seeing such strict military discipline, many people immediately knew that Mu Huali did not intend to kill indiscriminately, at least his family can survive today.So they continued to kowtow happily, and some murmured praises for Mu Huali's kindness. It was not until Mu Huali and his party rode away that someone cautiously got up and went to visit Lifang, which had become a pool of blood.

There are also people who completely ignore the situation in Lifang and rush to places where there are few people.

When he was far away from the massacre scene, he circled the alley four or five times, and from a collapsed corner, he got back to a stable next to Lifang.

Just as I was about to lead the horse, the dry grass next to me swayed, and a face poked out of it.This face was terrifying like a ghost, from the forehead to the chin, a deep depression was cut by a knife, the nose was almost split in half, and the lips were also parted.

However, the person who had just entered the stable looked at this face and was pleasantly surprised: "Lu Qi, are you still alive?"

"Isn't this drilling a dog hole!"

Scarface angrily removed the grass stalks stuck to his face and body, but because his body was covered with stinky mud, he took a lot of work and only got rid of some of his face.He said angrily: "I guess it was Xiao Mu's death! Someone in his family was killed by the Mongols, so he would be ruthless every now and then... Those eyes are too fierce, easy to be spotted!"

It turned out that this scar-faced man was a subordinate of the Dajin Liaodong group herds who accused Li Yun, a Jurchen Wanyan Luqi who was born in Mouke, Haicang Town, Laizhou.On that day, he was attacked by wild Jurchens, and he was slashed in the face. He rested for three months before recovering.

The other person is Wanyan Luqi's old partner, Zheng Rui, who once flew into the sky with Li Ting in a balloon.

After Guo Ning took control of Gaizhou and Fuzhou, Li Yun's group herding system developed very smoothly in Liaodong.

A large amount of medicinal materials, cotton cloth, tea, and grain poured into Liaodong, while horses and some luxury accessories from Northeast China were continuously transported southward.

Between such comings and goings, Qun Mu can be said to have a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is making money every day.At the beginning of this month, Li Yun also arranged manpower one after another, under the banner of various caravans, trying to enter the Beijing Road controlled by the Mongols.

But so far, penetration is not going well.

The Mongols' habit of looting or massacring at every turn is really harmful.

Earlier, when a caravan arrived at Dading Mansion, its goods were robbed and its mouth was wiped out.If you want a long-term foothold, you have to go through the path of Mongolian Nayan and get its protection.

But that's too easy to expose.

So with today's incident, the second batch of caravans were also unlucky.The steward surnamed Mu who led the team lost his life inexplicably just now, and even Zheng Rui and Wanyan Luqi, who were traveling with the caravan and intending to inquire about the military situation, almost died on the spot.

Zheng Rui cheered up and patted Yan Luqi on the shoulder: "Anyway, this trip, I found out the scale and progress of the Mongols' construction of siege equipment... It's not a loss! Let's leave the city now , Hurry up and report back!"
