"Yes! They won't even let go of children and women."
"We must let them know what it means to punish those who offend us, no matter how far away they are!”
The killing intent on Marquis Champion Huo Qubing's face was almost tangible when he saw this scene. When they were angry, a cold wind blew and a strong wind howled.
He could no longer suppress his anger. He looked left and right but did not see a single Turkic, so he immediately raised his single-hook spear and thrust it through the air, his anger rising to the heavens.
This time, he was extremely aggrieved!
The joy of killing these Turkic barbarians was still gone. What he wanted to kill now was the entire Turkic race.
Such a race that was worse than beasts should not exist in the world.
"I will, I will."
"They will be punished by us.”
Cao Jing stood up and personally picked up the dead child from the pit.
Seeing Cao Jing's actions, Huo Qubing panted heavily. He personally picked up a woman's corpse from the corpse pit and wrapped her body with the cloak he had given him. He followed Cao Jing without saying a word.
Behind them, the eighteen cavalrymen of Yanyun and the eight hundred champion cavalrymen followed closely behind, each carrying a Tang citizen from the corpse pit.
Li Jinghu's eyes glistened with tears when he saw Cao Jing and the others. He and Su Dingfang looked at each other and wiped their eyes at the same time. They walked into the pit of corpses and picked up a citizen of the Great Tang.
Behind them, the remaining four thousand soldiers of Youzhou Prefecture stood up, ignoring their injuries. With sorrowful expressions, they followed them, each carrying a Tang citizen.
There were five thousand Great Tang citizens in this massive pit of corpses.
Everyone remained silent and mounted their horses.
Cao Jing looked at the child's corpse in his arms and said,""The people of the Great Tang cannot return to this place and become ghosts in the wilderness. I, Cao Jing, will now take you home.”
After he finished speaking, he rode his horse toward the city of Youzhou.
Behind him were the eighteen cavalrymen of Yanyun, Huo Qubing, the eight hundred champion cavalrymen, Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and the four thousand remaining soldiers of the Tang Empire.
Along the way, no one spoke a word. Only the sound of horse hooves accompanied the howling of the wind.
.........
In Youzhou City, a woman in red stood on the city wall, looking forward to the battle.
There were no soldiers of Youzhou Province behind her anymore; however, the Youzhou commoners were still standing on the city wall. They looked at the distance of Youzhou City nervously with fear on their faces.
Suddenly, the bell alarm on the clock tower on the city wall sounded.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Standing on the highest place of Youzhou City, a Youzhou citizen who was responsible for guarding the bell tower shouted nervously.
Those commoners who were responsible for guarding Youzhou City clenched their longbows and broken crossbows tightly as they looked down the city gate of Youzhou City nervously.
When the red-robed woman heard the bell tower's voice, her entire body trembled, and tears fell from her eyes. She gently opened her red lips and muttered,"Apothecary Li, I didn't expect that you wouldn't come back after leaving Youzhou with 6,000 armored soldiers."
"Don't worry. I, the Red-whisk Maiden, swore to follow you to the death. The day Youzhou City is taken by the Turkic barbarians will be the day I come to find you.”
Her face suddenly became extremely determined. She ordered the newly organized Youzhou people around her,"Don't panic. Listen to my orders.”
When the fog dispersed and the sound of horse hooves got closer, the red-whisked woman saw a Tang army flag fluttering in the wind.
She also saw her husband, Li Jing, Apothecary Li.
Her tears could not help but flow out of her eyes again. She waved her hands repeatedly and said,"Put down the crossbows, swords, and sabers. Put down the crossbows, swords, and sabers. They came back alive.”
Swoosh!
As the red-whisk girl shouted, the Youzhou people cheered.
The return of General Li Jing and the soldiers of Youzhou meant that the Turks had been annihilated.
To them, this was great news.
The people of Youzhou City of Tang Empire cheered and ran around to tell each other about the joy of surviving the disaster.
A few moments later, the one hundred thousand citizens of Youzhou City began to charge toward the city gates. They wanted to personally welcome the Tang soldiers who had fought to the death for them.
"This is…"
The girl with the red horsetail whisk rushed out of the city gate first. She wanted to give Apothecary Li a hug, but when she saw the woman's corpse in his arms, she couldn't help but be stunned.
When the citizens of Youzhou City gathered in front of the city, they also saw the Tang children and women in the arms of the Tang soldiers.
"They are all dead."
"Killed by the Turkic barbarians!"
Li Jing spoke softly, his face filled with sorrow.
The red-whisked woman and the gathered Tang people immediately understood. They had heard of the crimes of the Turkic barbarians, but this time, they had seen it with their own eyes. These Turkic barbarians did not even spare their women and children. They clenched their fists, wishing they could personally kill the Turks to vent their hatred.
At this moment, they were standing in front of Youzhou City, watching Cao Jing, the 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun, the Champion Cavalrymen, and the Tang soldiers placing the corpses of the Tang people in front of Youzhou City.
"As the Governor of Youzhou and the Governor of Youzhou, he was in charge of the military and political power of Youzhou, but so many people of the Great Tang died."
Facing the mountain of corpses of the Tang people, Li Jinghu's eyes were filled with tears as he said,"I, Li Jing, have let down the people of Youzhou."
"General Li, I, Cao Jing, as the soul street of the Tang Empire, will not let these innocent people die in vain!”
"General Cao, you…"
Li Jing was stunned.
Cao Jing did not answer. Instead, he stared at the corpses of the Tang people and bowed."As the sole Soul Suppressing General of the Great Tang, I, Cao Jing, once again swear that on the seventh day of your first day, I will kill the seven barbarian tribes as a sacrifice to your souls in heaven.”
After he finished speaking, the eighteen cavalrymen of Yan Yun, Huo Qubing, and the eight hundred champion cavalrymen behind him held their weapons in unison, as if they had made an oath with Cao Jing.
