The originally peaceful and peaceful village was burned to the ground in an instant.

Only the wreckage of the burned houses still barely retain a trace of their original appearance.

Yuchiwei walked quietly among these wreckages, he could smell a stench of burnt corpses, mixed with a bit of inexplicable bloody smell.

Yuchiwei's cold and majestic face looked extremely calm, and he couldn't even feel the slightest ups and downs of emotion.

However, anyone who is familiar with Yuchiwei knows that there is no moment when Yuchiwei is more angry than the current Yuchiwei.
Lieutenant General Li, who was walking beside Yuchiwei, also had a dignified expression.

Of the more than [-] villagers in the entire village, only [-] people survived, and the rest of the villagers were all slaughtered mercilessly.

It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, a woman or a child, or a baby, the outcome is the same
"Vice General Li, send a few more people to protect the survivors and go to the fortress closest to the Great Wall to take good care of them."

"General Yuchi, please wait a moment."

As a person who has followed Yuchiwei all the year round, no one can understand what Yuchiwei wants to do at this time better than Li Xian.

But compared to the upright and upright Yuchi Weixiang, Li Xian was obviously more calm and smooth, "...this is the next best thing to do."

Li Xian wanted to stop Yuchiwei's stupid idea that was almost crazy, but it was obvious that Yuchiwei didn't intend to listen to him
"You're right, this is the next strategy. However, we can't let them go. Can't we?"

"...This is the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty. It is our Ming army's duty to protect the surrounding people."

"...It would be a great shame for Daming if the survivors were left alone here."

".And it is also conceivable that those gentry and other prince factions who deliberately want to trouble the prince will definitely take the opportunity to impeach him, and more importantly..."

"General! Please think again!",

Lieutenant General Li interrupted the words of the person he most admired very rarely, and continued to try to persuade——

"...Many survivors have already witnessed the barbarian cavalry in northern Xinjiang. Therefore, we have completed the first task assigned by His Majesty. The subordinate suggested that the army should retreat temporarily and make preparations in the Shanhaiguan area of ​​the Great Wall before carrying out the conquest. It would be more appropriate to pay crusade."

"I reject your proposal." Yuchiwei definitely refused directly.

"General Yuchi! You should be very clear that this must be a trap. The time when the village was attacked and the time when we arrived here are too coincidental. These cruel acts were definitely done after we arrived, and we didn't kill them all on purpose. , This is definitely a complete trap."

Lieutenant General Li burst into tears, and continued——

"The survivors did not escape the murderous hands of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang because they hid, but the enemy did it deliberately and they were merciful to survive."

"I'm afraid. It's a vicious strategy to let us send people to protect the survivors so as to disperse our forces."

"General Yuchi, don't you know that there is a trap ahead and continue to chase?"

Facing Lieutenant General Li's questioning, Yu Chiwei paused for a while before slowly answering——

".That's right."

"Are you serious! General Yuchi. You are indeed very strong, and you are recognized as the 'strongest warrior' by Ming Dynasty. I believe that even if you face a hundred barbarian cavalry, you can easily win an absolute victory."

"However, if there is that woman among the barbarian cavalry in Northern Xinjiang, that female God of War in Northern Xinjiang, as long as that woman is in the enemy's army, even you, General Yuchi, will be extremely dangerous. Given the current lack of troops From our side's point of view, it must be the result of a big defeat. So I beg you to order a retreat."

". You know, for the current Ming Dynasty, no matter how many villages you sacrifice, you will never lose a general. You will suffer even more!"

Yu Chiwei just listened quietly, and Lieutenant General Li spoke quite excitedly, and continued to suggest——

"General Yuchi, if you really don't want to retreat, then abandon the remaining survivors and let everyone pursue together."

"Do not."

Yuchiwei frowned slightly, and calmly retorted the lieutenant——

"What you said may be the most sensible choice. But doing so is tantamount to completely abandoning this group of people. Keeping these dozen or so surviving villagers here, do you think they can survive?"

Lieutenant General Li had nothing to say.

Because he knew that if they stayed here, their chances of surviving were almost negligible.

Had they not been guarded and escorted to safety, they would have died within days.

But even so, Li Xian still had to say it was wrong, he had to say it was right.

"General Yuchi. The most valuable life here is you, and only you! You are the core of Ming's entire northern frontier defense! Now, the lives of these villagers can no longer be controlled."

Yu Chiwei's eyes were slightly closed, he understood the painful decision of the lieutenant very well, and was also saddened that he was unable to change such a dilemma.

Even so, he still couldn't agree to the lieutenant general's proposal
"I was born as a commoner, so you must be the same."

Facing Yuchiwei's sudden emotional words, Lieutenant General Li was a little stunned, but he still replied respectfully——

"Yes. This subordinate joined the barracks because he admired you, General."

"I remember that you were also born in a certain northern village?"

"Yes. So, General Yuchi refers to"

"Life in the village is not easy, especially in the north. Not only do they have to be invaded by the barbarians in the north, but they are also attacked by monsters, monsters, and evil spirits from time to time. They often have to be neighbors with death, causing many casualties and even massacring the village. It's not uncommon, is it?"

"That's right."

"When encountering monsters, it is difficult for mere soldiers to fight them. If you don't have the money to hire a sect master who specializes in fighting monsters and monsters, you can only bow your head and wait quietly for the monsters to wreak havoc before leaving."

".Yes."

"Then, haven't you expected it? When you need help the most, haven't you expected the chivalrous men in the rumors, or the powerful superiors to help you?"

"...If you say you have no expectations, you probably won't believe it. But in fact, no one has ever offered to help. At least in the subordinate villages, I have never seen it."

"That being the case... then, let us prove that this is not the case. Now, I am going to save them!"

The deputy general was suddenly speechless. He remembered his childhood expectation for the "chivalry" in old people's stories.
"Vice General Li, let the people of Ming Dynasty see it. Let's see what it means to be a chivalrous man who knows the danger and is willing to sacrifice his life to save him, and what it is to be a strong man who is willing to help the weak."

Yu Chiwei and the lieutenant's eyes met, and they exchanged countless emotions.

The lieutenant responded in an impassioned tone even though he was already exhausted——

"...Then, let the subordinates lead the army. There are countless people who can replace me, but no one can replace General Yuchi!"

"What are you talking about!" Yu Chiwei reprimanded: "If I go there, the probability of everyone surviving and winning is the highest. Lieutenant General Li, you must know that we are not going to die, but to save Daming People!"

Lieutenant General Li wanted to speak again several times, but in the end he chose to keep silent.

"Now, immediately go and choose the soldiers who will escort the villagers to the Great Wall Fortress."

As Yuchiwei said, he steered his war horse to walk in the other direction
"Let's go to the next village immediately!"

In the far horizon.

On the grassland that was dyed red by the setting sun, many figures suddenly appeared.

The total number of people is about forty or so, and they are well equipped, and each of them is equipped with three top horses.

The group of people were like ghosts, slowly appearing from the empty place.

Their camouflage is really clever, and they must have used some kind of camouflage spell.

From their attire, it can be seen at a glance that these people are not just escorts or some bandits.

Their exterior decorations are exactly the same, and the armor they wear is made of special metal and animal skin, which is both mobile and defensive.Those clothes with magical effects have a better defensive effect than full-body iron trowels.

The leather bag on the back is very small. If there is no Taoist space magic added to it, it really doesn't look like a backpack that ordinary troops would carry.

The waist has a special shape, equipped with a belt case for several bottles of pills, and the scarlet cloak on the back also exudes the aura of Taoism.

No matter in terms of money, time, or energy, getting together so many sets of top-level equipment is by no means easy.

But even so, that group of people still wore such dazzling equipment, which is enough to prove that they have the support of a fairy-level force behind them.

However, there are no signs of their identity and affiliation on their equipment.

In other words, they are illegal teams that must conceal their identities.

The eyes of the group of people quietly looked at the abandoned village in front of them.

Although he looked at the bloody and scorched village, he couldn't see any emotion in his eyes, as cold-blooded and heartless as if he was looking at a scene that was taken for granted.

"...It looks like they have already escaped."

A tall woman dressed as a Northern Xinjiang general spoke with a flat but moving voice, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

"This must be something that can't be helped, General Wanyan."

The man wrapped in the black robe continued to say to the woman in that hoarse voice: "Let the northern Xinjiang warriors continue to attack other villages like this. We will definitely help you and lure the ferocious beast the 'beast' into the trap."

The woman's sharp eyes looked at the direction in which Yuchiwei and his party were leaving.

"If it wasn't for my inconvenience, how could I use you?"

".Tell me the village of their next target."
