On the bumpy road that had not been repaired for years, a team of a dozen carriages was moving toward Xiangyang City.
At this moment, on the two sides of the road where the yellow sand was surging, some people in ragged clothes with bundles on their backs could be seen passing now and then.
Every once in a while, there would be an unburied corpse on the ground or a simple pile of yellow soil in the grass by the roadside.
Some dirty, emaciated children were kneeling on the ground, and their parents were begging others to take them in.
"Young Master, let's stop the carriage and give them some food. We brought a lot of food with us!"
When they passed a place where a lot of refugees were gathered, Nie Xiaoqian said to Ji Ye, who was sitting in front of the carriage, with pity.
"We can't give them any food!"
Ji Ye, however, shook his head. He was rather touched by the starving people around him.
But he refused her resolutely!
"Yes …"
Nie Xiaoqian opened her mouth and was about to say something.
But as a maid, she had always been obedient to Ji Ye.
She could only hide her head in the carriage, unable to look at the refugees on the road.
However, she soon understood why Ji Ye was so heartless.
"Stop the carriage!"
It was because Xiao Longnu and Zhou Zhiruo's carriage at the rear of the team stopped.
After that, Zhou Zhiruo, who was dressed in green, took out some of the food and water she had brought from the carriage and gave them to a sallow and emaciated man who was only wearing tattered clothes in this cold weather. He kept kowtowing to the caravan.
She had even fainted on the side of the road because she hadn't eaten for a long time!
"Miss, please give me some food. I haven't eaten for three days. Just a little will do."
"Miss, please do me a favor and buy my daughter as your maid. She can do anything as long as you give her some porridge. I beg you! "
This place was a gathering place for refugees in the first place.
The refugees on the road were actually driven away by the "evil servants" of the Manor of Beasts. Seeing that the team had stopped and that someone was giving out food, they immediately swarmed close.
They surrounded Xiao Longnu and Zhou Zhiruo's carriage and even spread to the carriages where Wu Qiao, Chu Yin, and the other female players were.
Some of the refugees even pounced forward to snatch the little girl's food.
Then, Zhou Zhiruo angrily slapped him to the ground.
But even so, there was still a large number of sallow skinny refugees surging over, causing the entire convoy to be unable to continue forward.
"See, this is it!"
Ji Ye shook his head.
He was relatively calm.
On one hand, it was probably because they had seen such scenes on TV a lot on Earth, and on the other hand, it was only in the Battlefield of Providence after all, so they were much more receptive.
Facing such a situation, it wasn't as if there was no solution.
For example, he could directly release his Dragon Qi to create a targeted "pressure", causing all the refugees to fall to the ground!
Or, he could create some scary illusions with the Mirage Dragon Pearl so that the refugees would scatter in fear.
"Hmm?"
However, before those measures were implemented, Ji Ye's expression suddenly changed.
He raised his head and looked ahead of him on the main road.
"Ta, ta, ta …"
At this moment, some dust suddenly rose on the road ahead.
Then, it could be seen that creatures that looked like camels but were wider and had four humps on their backs were moving towards them. On them, some soldiers who looked slightly different from the Song soldiers were holding weapons!
"Master, it's the Yuan Camel Cavalry! Let's retreat!"
A middle-aged man in the convoy that had stopped shouted with sweat on his forehead.
He was a guide that the Manor of Beasts had hired. He was from Xiangyang City and was familiar with the Yuan people's intelligence.
They were still three hundred kilometers away from Xiangyang City, but Yuan soldiers had already appeared in this place!
Because the Song Dynasty was even weaker at this moment, it could only concentrate its soldiers in the important passes such as Xiangyang City.
Because the Yuan people had more soldiers, they could send people to gather food for the army while they were preparing for the battle.
Those exotic beasts named "camels" were exactly what the Yuan people used to transport food. Because they were large and had excellent endurance, one camel could carry the food of two to three families for a year.
There were a hundred "camels" in the Yuan soldiers' team, which meant that hundreds of Song families' savings had been looted.
It had to be part of the Yuan food team. No wonder there were so many refugees on the way!
"Ah! It's the Yuan army! "
"Everybody, run! The Yuan people are here again!"
Noticing the Yuan food team that was coming from far away, the refugees who had been crowding around the women in the team fell into chaos. Ji Ye didn't need to do anything. Be they old, weak, sick, or disabled, they all fled in the opposite direction of the Yuan people or into the woods on the two sides of the road in fear.
It was because, in order to occupy the Song people's territory, the Yuan emperor had ordered that civilians who didn't resist were not allowed to be killed.
However, such an order, which was obviously meant to lower the morale of the Song people, couldn't be carried out by the low-level Yuan soldiers at all.
It could be seen that many of the Yuan soldiers on the backs of the camels were still holding weapons that were stained with dark red blood.
On the other hand, with Ji Ye's enhanced hearing through True Seer, he clearly heard the cries of a baby among the camels!
At the front of the Yuan camels, a baby's stomach had been pierced by a weapon that looked like a long spear, and the baby was hanging in front of the camel's head.
It seemed that the Yuan soldiers were using the Song baby as bait to lure the camels forward!
"Stop!"
Ji Ye wasn't the only one who saw it.
An angry voice echoed, and a man dashed out of the carriage behind him. His gray clothes flapped, and he looked like an eagle that was spreading its wings in the sky. He quickly crossed the distance of hundreds of meters and charged at the Yuan soldier who was carrying the baby with a spear.
In the carriage behind Ji Ye, Yang Guo and Shi the Third of the Manor of Beasts were sitting.
Shi the Third wasn't good at alacrity skills, so it was naturally Yang Guo who charged out.
It was because Yang Guo had seen a similar scene around here when the Great Heroes' Banquet was held in Xiangyang City for the first time more than ten years ago.
Although the Mongolians had been replaced by the Yuan people on this Battlefield of Providence, their memories were still there.
Seeing such a scene again, they couldn't bear it anymore.
"Pa!"
The Yuan soldier who was running at the front of the camel didn't even realize what was going on before Yang Guo, who approached like a hawk, stomped on his chest!
The stomp was launched by Yang Guo in fury and was shockingly powerful. Not only did it dent the Yuan soldier's chest and make him vomit blood, but even the camel couldn't take it anymore.
Even the "camel" beneath him couldn't withstand it. Its thick limbs were all broken, and it fell to the ground with a miserable cry.
The long halberd in the Yuan soldier's hand, on the other hand, was snatched away by Yang Guo. Then, he grabbed the tip of the long halberd with two fingers of his left hand and broke the wooden body of the bloodstained halberd with a crack.
Then, he carefully held the baby in his right arm.
That's right. After days, Yang Guo's right arm had finally regrown.
Although it was still not as strong as Ji Ye's left arm, which was strong enough to compete with Ji Ye's, it could still move normally.
It was a baby girl who was only one or two years old. Her head was a little big because of malnutrition. Although her stomach had been pierced by the spear, she didn't die because it wasn't a fatal part.
"Ahhh! Ahhh …"
Instead, she cried in pain and waved her short arms and legs helplessly. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to call for her parents.
However, because of her struggles, her wounds were torn apart, and blood flowed out of her stomach and mouth, making her feeble voice even more muffled.
"Who's there?"
"It's the Song people!"
"Kill him!"
Yang Guo's action made the camel, which could carry a weight of thousands of kilograms, kneel on the ground.
Undoubtedly, the Yuan soldiers who saw that from a close distance changed their expressions.
But after that, they did not leave in fear. Instead, they shouted angrily and urged the "camels" under them to speed up. They waved the halberds in their hands and stabbed towards Yang Guo!
