Master of Fast Transmigration, put down the knife

Chapter 46 I Raised a Villain in Troubled Times ([-])
"That's marching?" Ye Chenyu said softly, then turned around and pulled back the horse.Kneeling beside her was a weeping woman, about 30 years old, holding a three or four-year-old child in her arms.Ye Chenyu asked while she was crying: "Why is the city gate closed?"

The woman wiped away her tears: "The governor of Yuyang County, who killed Qiandao, refused to let us in, saying that the city couldn't let us go. We escaped and came here. Isn't this killing us!"

Those who escaped... Ye Chenyu looked around for a week, and found that this group of people had extra bags on their backs, dragged their families with them, and also led a cow and a donkey, as if they had come from afar.

"Are you fleeing famine, or..." Ye Chenyu stopped, thought about the marching army that was about to approach, and then asked: "Do you know who that marching army is, the government army?" ?”

"What march?" The woman looked in the direction of her finger, squinted her eyes for a while, her face changed in horror, and she didn't care to cry, she got up from the ground and threw herself on the city gate.

"The Xingjia Army is here!"

When she yelled, everyone was like a frying pan, and the cries became louder.Some people squeezed in the direction of the city gate, and some grabbed their bags and ran in other directions.The woman just now cried and slammed the city gate twice, then gritted her teeth, picked up the child beside her, and staggered to follow the crowd in other directions.

There are still people who don't give up, begging or yelling at the city gate.The defenders on the wall turned a deaf ear and made no attempt to open the door.

The army in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Ye Chenyu could clearly see the word "Xing" embroidered on the military flag without Ye Chenyu's eyesight.Under the military flag, there was a cold light, full of killing intent.

The crowd at the gate finally gave up calling to open the city gate. The men picked up their bags and the women picked up their children and fled eastward.A few old people couldn't run any longer, and walked forward little by little holding wooden sticks.

On the carriage, the boy poked his head out, with a look of panic on his face; "Sister, what happened?"

Just as Ye Chenyu was about to speak, she suddenly turned around and grabbed a child who was bumping into her.This child was also an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. After being grabbed by the shoulder by Ye Chenyu, he raised his head, gave Ye Chenyu a vicious look, and struggled with all his strength.

Ye Chenyu had no intention of keeping him, so he let go of him.The child lowered his head and slipped past her, and ran eastward with the crowd without looking back.

With a calm face, Ye Chenyu turned over into the carriage, pushed the boy back into the carriage, and whipped the whip. "Crack!" The two horses were hurting and rushed towards the city gate.

Between the carriage and the city gate, there were still a few people standing sporadically.

Ye Chenyu didn't slow down, and let out a low voice: "Get out of the way!"

The frightened people fled in all directions, Ye Chenyu flicked his wrist, rolled up a person who hadn't escaped in time, and sent him to the side.

The carriage was speeding like lightning, and rushed straight to the city gate.Seeing that he was about to hit the city gate, the boy poked his head out again and could clearly see the copper rust of the nails on the city gate, so he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Ye Chenyu threw the whip aside, pulled out a long knife from his waist, with the blade horizontally in front of him, and jumped into the air.The snow-like frost blade landed on the city gate before the galloping horse.

The red-painted iron sheet was split in two under the blade, and the three-foot-high city gate made of pine and iron leaves had no time to resist. It was cut into four neat pieces by the long knife, shaking. After two shakes, it fell down.

The heavy sound of the city gate collapsing startled the horses driving, and the two horses raised their hooves high and let out a long cry.Ye Chenyu fell back onto the carriage again, sheathed his long knife, jumped onto one of the horses, leaned over to grab the mane, clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, and forced the frightened horse down.

The fleeing people turned their heads when they heard the voice, only to see the fallen city gate and the cold girl sitting on the horse with an expressionless face.The carriage ran fast, and in an instant, only a back was left behind.

The crowd froze for a moment, then turned around and rushed into the city.

Just halfway through the crowd, the defenders above the city wall finally came to their senses and began to come down to drive them away.The refugees and the defenders were crowded together, and it was difficult to distinguish the cries, shouts, and clashes of weapons.

At this time, the Xingjia army holding the military flag had arrived in front of the city gate, and a sharp whistle pierced the air. As if the army had heard some order, they all rode their horses and bent down, raised their weapons, and rushed forward .After rushing into the refugees, the weapon in his hand fell high.

The refugees who were fighting with the defenders and wanted to enter the city were hacked to the ground before they could escape. The Xingjia army on horseback skillfully picked up the luggage that fell on the ground after hacking.

In a few breaths, most of the refugees who were blocked outside the city had been cut down.The remaining refugees ran out of the city in all directions, or were chopped to the ground, or trampled down by the hooves of disordered horses.

Ye Chenyu drove the carriage into the city, waited for the horses to calm down, and looked back.The area around the city gate was so chaotic that it was hard to tell who was the defender, who was the refugee, and who was the Xingjia army.

As she was watching, the boy in the carriage crawled out on hands and feet and grabbed her sleeve firmly.

Ye Chenyu looked down at him, the boy bit his lower lip, his eyes were full of fear and panic.

"..."

At this moment, there were several screams coming from the gate of the city.

Ye Chenyu frowned slightly, she wanted to find some food in the county town, and then find someone to be a groom.In this situation, I'm afraid it won't work.

She glanced at the houses by the road, and by the height of the carriage, lifted the boy up to the roof.After jumping onto the roof, she jumped onto the city wall with a few light jumps without much pause.

The defenders on the city wall had already gone down at this time, Ye Chenyu put the boy down and looked down condescendingly.I only saw the so-called Xingjia army chasing and hacking the refugees, and snatching luggage or valuables when they saw them.

Some women wear silver hairpins on their heads, and they can't take them off for a while, so they cut off their hair and even their heads.

The boy was lying on the top of the wall, happened to see this scene, and immediately retched against the top of the wall, his two wide-open eyes were filled with tears, which kept rolling down.

He couldn't tell if it was fear or any other emotion, he just felt cold all over his body, even his chest felt cold, and then he felt a strong sense of nausea, wishing he could even spit out the water he drank the day before yesterday.

Ye Chenyu didn't look at him, but still looked at the chaos below.

With just one charge, all these refugees fell under the horse's hooves.This army, or the leader of the bandit army, seemed to have seen where the refugees were going before.A small team was separated and chased eastward.

A woman had already run out of the chaos with her child in her arms, and ran desperately into the forest outside the city.A man wearing a black and yellow turban broke away from the team, quickly chased after him, raised a knife in his hand, and slashed the woman's back.

The woman threw herself on the ground, still breathing, and pushed the child in her arms away with her last strength.

The man who was chasing up showed a sinister smile, stretched out his hand and grabbed the child back.The crying child was picked up high, and the shining knife pointed at his stomach.
