The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Yancheng finally received the emperor's order.

"Congratulations, General. It seems that the Emperor also understands the importance of the Wei Family Army to Dongling. This time he even asked the Fifth Prince to come and reward us in person."

"Yes, even if Northern Qi doesn't invade for the time being, we are still indispensable!"

"I heard there are 500 jars of imperial wine. We can drink to our heart's content this time."

In the study, several generals were laughing happily.

Suddenly Jiang Xiubai was found to be in a bad mood, and a big man patted him on the shoulder.

"Kid, what's wrong with you lately? You look so sullen all day long."

Jiang Xiubai looked at Wei Tiankuang and said, "General, now that the emperor has issued an order, I request your order to go and fight against Juque!"

Juque refers to the alliance of several small tribes, headed by Juchao and Qingque.

Several generals put away their smiles.

"Yes General, it's time to give the order!"

Some of them, like Jiang Xiubai, did not understand why the general had to delay for so long this time. But they blindly worshipped Wei Tiankuang and would not question any of Wei Tiankuang's decisions.

Wei Tiankuang spoke slowly: "Wang Man, Jiang Xiubai, listen to my orders!"

"The general is here!"

"I'll order you two to lead the troops and make sure to drive Juque away completely."

"Yes!"

As soon as Jiang Xiubai and the other man went out, they went straight to the military camp, selected the soldiers, and rushed towards the location of Juque without stopping.

"Deputy General Jiang, the village ahead is Hongshi Village, which was attacked by Juque a few days ago."

"Walk lightly and don't scare the villagers again." Jiang Xiubai dismounted and gave the order.

"Yes."

Seeing him like this, Wang Man also dismounted.

The two men walked in front, leading the horses, and slowly approached the village.

The village was extremely quiet; not even a dog barking could be heard. The old tree at the entrance of the village was still lush and green, but the whole village was lifeless.

"Everyone, be careful."

Jiang Xiubai led the horse and walked slowly inside.

Once they entered the village, without the trees blocking the view, the scene before them shocked everyone.

The corpses wrapped in tattered and blood-stained clothes were lying all over the ground, emitting a foul stench that attracted carrion crows to circle in the sky, emitting bursts of shrill and terrifying cries, which was creepy.

There was not a single intact house in the village, as the fire reduced them to ruins. Under the eaves of the only house that did not collapse, there were several corpses hanging, including men, women, young and old.

Jiang Xiubai's eyes were bloodshot, and dusty memories swept in, making his whole body tremble slightly.

Wang Man clenched his fists: "Damn bastards! I'm going to kill them all!"

Jiang Xiubai clenched his fists: "There are more than a dozen villages like this! We must hurry up and get there!"

Just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped.

Wang Man asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Did you hear anything?"

"No."

Jiang Xiubai slowly approached the house where several corpses were hanging and pushed the door open.

He looked around and finally went into the kitchen.

He opened the lid of the rice jar and removed the rags piled on top.

A child of four or five years old was looking at him with horror on his face, his thin body curled up into a ball.

Wang Man's eyes lit up and he picked up the child. The child kicked his legs and screamed in fear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We are the Wei family army. You are saved."

The "Wei Family Army" is the reassurance for the people living in the border town and is the patron saint that these children have worshipped since childhood.

He burst into tears with a 'wow' sound.

"Mother said that the Wei family army would come to rescue me. Mother didn't lie to me. Where are my mother and father? And my brothers and sisters..."

Wang Man glanced at the bodies swaying in the wind under the eaves, then lowered his head in shame at the children's trusting and joyful eyes.

"Your mother and the others have gone to a very far place. Please let us take care of you first." Jiang Xiubai said.

His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was cold. The child shrank into Wang Man's arms.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Wang Man patted his back.

"I'm not afraid because you are the Wei family army." The child's voice was clear and innocent.

Jiang Xiubai couldn't bear it any longer and turned around abruptly: "Go! Speed ​​up!"

Wang Man walked out holding the child in his arms. Before leaving, he covered the child's eyes with his big hands.

After leaving the village, Wang Man sent someone to send the child to a safe place, and he and Jiang Xiubai led the army to speed up the journey at a risk of their lives.

"I know the general is doing this for the good of our Wei family army, but letting the people suffer so much is really..." Wang Man said to Jiang Xiubai beside him while he kept on walking.

"But I guess the general doesn't know that these bastards are so bold that they not only rob people but also massacre the whole village!"

Jiang Xiubai tightened his grip on the reins.

Not only did Wei Tiankuang know about this, but he was also the one who gave the order!

What is the guardian of Dongling!

What do the lives of the people mean to him!

"Gee!" Jiang Xiubai whipped the horse, and the horse felt the pain and ran away quickly.

"Wait for me!"

They set out after noon and were still on their way at midnight.

"Do you want to take a break? The soldiers haven't rested since they set out." Wang Man asked.

"Do you want them to massacre a few more villages?"

"I know you are angry, and I hate you as much as you do, but it is night time now, and those beasts have to sleep, right?"

"Sleeping? Don't you know that they like to see the night turn into day?"

"The night is as white as day?"

"The fire made the night as bright as day."

Wang Man's face changed and he no longer mentioned resting.

After walking for another half an hour, they suddenly saw flames rising into the sky ahead.

Jiang Xiubai's expression changed: "Hurry!"

The closer you get, the louder the shouts become.

As we got closer, we saw some burly foreigners laughing wildly and waving their swords to hack at the elderly and children.

Some of them were carrying struggling women on their shoulders, with lewd smiles on their faces.

Women and children who are powerless can only be bullied.

"Beast!" Wang Man shouted and rushed forward with a knife.

The soldiers behind him also rushed forward with swords brandished.

"Ah!! The Wei family army is coming! Retreat quickly!"

"The Wei family army is here! We are saved!"

Jiang Xiubai rode on his horse, drew his bow and aimed his arrow at the burly man who was carrying the girl and running away.

Three arrows were fired at the same time, instantly taking the lives of the three beasts.

He jumped off his horse and shouted, "Don't let any one go!"

"Yes!"
