In front of the ruins, Chang Zilong bellowed with an ashen face, ”Excavate! Even if you have to dig three feet out of the ground, you have to dig it out for me!”
At this moment, only the brick walls were still standing. The windows, doors, columns, beams, as well as the furniture and bedding in the house had all been burnt down. Although a large amount of water had been splashed on the walls, smoke still rose up from them and occasionally, sparks would even burst out due to the explosion of the wood.
Nearly a hundred soldiers were digging desperately with shovels, pickaxes, and shovels.
Every inch of the ground was being searched, every piece of wreckage was being inspected.
The corpses were brought over and four of them slipped away. They were burnt beyond recognition. Some parts of them were burnt to the point that only bones were left, almost to the point of drying up.
”Lord, I've already searched for it three times, there isn't any!” A soldier came over and said, ”There's no need to look for them. I think that Master Bao and that woman should … It should be time to turn into ashes! ”
”How dare you!” Chang Zilong kicked the soldier onto the ground and roared, ”The Master Bao can call the wind and summon the rain, it is absolutely impossible for him to be burned to death. ”Find it, continue searching. If you can't find the answer, come see me!”
The soldier scrambled back up and continued to rummage through the ruins.
Looking at the ruins in front of him, and looking at the four charred corpses, Chang Zilong's heart kept sinking.
He himself had brought 120 Janitor s with him to scout ahead, but after walking more than 20 kilometers, it had only been two hours.
had one hundred and twenty Janitor s, thirty to forty other Zhengjia Village disciples. The remaining one thousand four hundred plus people were divided into five battalions, and each battalion had more than three hundred people, which were respectively under the charge of his five trusted aides.
But now, four of them had turned into charcoal, their bodies curled up and still emitting the smell of barbecue.
In addition, there were 11 dead soldiers and 25 wounded soldiers.
On the first day of the great army's battle, they hadn't even seen the enemy face each other, yet they had already suffered such heavy casualties. This was simply too hard to accept.
What was even harder for Chang Zilong to accept was that the soldier in charge of guarding outside the house had told him that Bao Dachu, who had a transcendent technique, had also come here.
While ”Bao Dachu” was reprimanding the four generals for oppressing the people, he was suddenly ambushed by the villagers, who then turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared without a trace. Not only was there no corpse, there was not even a single bone left behind.
Chang Zilong could no longer remain calm, according to the leisurely information he had gathered, he was unable to confirm that ”Bao Dachu” had really came here, much less determine whether or not those villagers were affected by ”Bao Dachu”. That was why he suddenly unleashed his extraordinary courage, and launched a suicidal attack towards the soldiers that were ten times stronger than himself.
If that person was really ”Bao Dachu”, then what did that portend?
Was the deity expressing his anger at Ji Huanhan of the army, or did it mean that the deity had given up on him?
If they didn't have the help of the deity, how could a group of soldiers that couldn't even beat a farmer to bring down the Yi Zhou City?
”Didn't I tell you to set up a camp outside of the village and borrow some firewood and water from the villagers? Is your food not enough to eat? Why do you still want to rob? ”
”Lord Douyuhou, this is Commander Zhao's order.” A soldier behind him replied, trembling, ”He said … When we go to war, we have to follow the rules. When we fight bandits, we always go wherever we eat. Since you didn't give the order not to … ”Then …”
”Where's Zhao Pingzi?” Chang Zilong immediately grabbed the sword hilt.
”He … ”He …” The soldier pointed at the corpses in front of them and said, ”The biggest one should be him. He's the fattest!”
Chang Zilong's body swayed, and he shouted: ”Who was so bold as to force this humble girl to drink with them?”
