"What?"

"Did the Huns break through the border?"

"It's over, what can I do?"

……

The sergeant's words were like a bomb, instantly detonating the people around him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is the Xiongnu, in this era, the Three Kingdoms are in power, although there is always a little friction, but it will not cause any major turmoil, but the Xiongnu are the enemies of the three countries with a headache.

The Xiongnu are located in the northwest, the territory is vast, but most of them are grasslands, not to mention less water and less land, it cannot be regarded as much, for the huge number of Xiongnu, it is simply not enough.

Born on the steppe, as if born on horseback, the Huns had always been fierce and strong, and soon, in the face of lack of food, their khans launched wars to obtain enough supplies for survival.

The nomads, all brave and good at war, good at riding and shooting, have always acted quickly and violently, like cheetahs, for the more comprehensive army of the Central Plains, except for the cavalry, there is no army that can resist these Huns.

Zhou Bei and they were also taken aback, Li Changan didn't realize the Ming calendar, he had just come out of the mountain, and he didn't know anything about these state affairs, and the general trend of the world basically had nothing to do with them.

also looked at the frightened expressions of these people around him, Li Changan asked, and Zhou Bei said it at this time.

"This Xiongnu wanders on the border of Chu all the year round, and the king of Chu has already ordered his border generals to send additional troops to garrison the frontier, and a town like the one we are in now is also to supply supplies to the border army, but large and small are full of border guards."

"The Huns are also in order to grab supplies in a town like ours, they will fight and wander with the border army, it is now autumn, they are also going to start preparing food for the winter, at this time, it is also the time when the Huns attack most frequently, I also came here to kill the Huns on the front line, and I happened to meet you, the virtuous brother."

Li Changan was thoughtful, and hurriedly asked the sergeant: "This soldier, may I ask how many Huns have attacked the border, and how many people will probably come here?" ”

The sergeant was out of breath, and when he saw Li Changan asking, he didn't answer, but said: "Why don't you scholar know what to do, the Huns are coming soon, it's too late to escape, hurry up and hide." ”

Zhou Bei smiled heartily, "This soldier, you are wrong, my brother is not a scholar, my two brothers are both people from the rivers and lakes, besides, don't look at him as a scholar, but when it comes to strength, I am afraid that none of the ten are his opponents." ”

Li Changan smiled silently, just pulled the hem of his clothes, revealing the two long swords underneath.

This sergeant was also stunned, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, but even the two of you are useless, at that time, according to what the newspaper soldier said, there were three hundred cavalry, at that time we were attacked by the Huns on the other side, and sent troops to support, resulting in emptiness, I didn't think that the Huns fought this tiger away from the mountain, only more than 100 soldiers left, the Huns have collapsed after an impact, I was ordered by the general in danger, and I rushed to the town to inform me quickly, and now I am afraid that it will ......."

The hearts of the people around sank, and they hurriedly dispersed and went home to hide, if they really waited for the Hun cavalry to arrive, I am afraid that they would be unable to escape death!

Li Chang'an guessed in his heart and knew that this sergeant was whipping up his horse quickly, and it was only a cup of tea time from the border defense here, and he was afraid that there was not much time left.

"Run, run, it seems that this town is going to suffer again......" An old voice came, Li Changan turned his head and saw that it was actually the innkeeper.

"Why did the old gentleman say again? Has this happened before? Li Changan asked, and the two Tang family members who were also outside the door also looked at each other with questions.

"Li Shaoxia's problem, Xiao Lao'er also wants to know." Tang Kan said.

The innkeeper sighed, with a sense of gloom: "That was more than forty years ago, when I was only seven or eight years old, I also lived in this town, I grew up here, that time it was just two hundred Huns riding alone, at that time there were far more people in the town than now, but in more than an hour to kill, rob, burn all!" ”

"And I, hiding in the cellar, almost suffocated to death, but it was the arrival of the army that saved me, and since then I have been out for twenty years, and I have come back and opened an inn, and I have been there until now."

Li Changan gasped, although there are not many people in this town, there are also thousands, much more than now, presumably not one or two thousand, and it was actually leveled in an hour, which shows the combat effectiveness and swift action of the Hun iron cavalry.

The innkeeper turned around and walked towards the inn with heavy steps, and Chi Dusk's back suddenly paused, "I won't hide this time, I'll die here, anyway, I won't have a few years to live." ”

The innkeeper returned to the counter and sat inside, fiddling with his abacus as usual, but his trembling hands showed the trembling in his heart.

The street scene is depressed, and no one is still on the street, only Li Changan and the Tang family are still at the door of the inn, and even Xiao Er has already found a place to hide.

Tang Kan didn't have any trouble, so he stepped forward directly and said, "What should Li Shaoxia do?" Need a place to hide? ”

"Hide?" Li Changan shook his head, "How can we knights be afraid of these people from outside the territory, I want to fight!" ”

Tang Kan was stunned for a moment, "Young man is so spirited!" However, the combat effectiveness of the Hun iron cavalry is not as reckless, their single force may not be nothing, but what they are good at is group combat, and the strength of group combat is not one plus one, but multiplied! ”

"With a few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand a charge."

Tang Dong sneered: "Don't be delusional, my uncle and I have seen the bravery of the Hun iron cavalry on the border, even if the troops are equal, they will be defeated, with a few of us, I'm afraid it will only be enough to kill one to return to the capital, and you may be able to kill a few more, hehe." ”

"Xiaodong, don't make a mistake." Tang Kan scolded angrily, "Don't mind Li Shaoxia, my nephew is like this, but what he said is indeed true, in my opinion, let's evacuate quickly." ”

Zhou Bei next to him also persuaded: "Brother Xian, don't think about it, it's just a simple matter to escape with our footsteps, but if you resist hard, you will definitely die!" ”

Li Changan sighed: "You ...... Do as you wish, I still want to fight! The family teacher has taught many times that chivalry, chivalry and righteousness are the original intention, if you are as timid as a mouse, it is difficult to achieve great things. ”

"And I want to protect the people on this side!"

Not to mention how domineering it is, but it is extremely firm.

Looking at Zhou Bei with a look of embarrassment, Li Changan only sighed in his heart, picked up the long sword with the sheath, placed it across his chest, and unsheathed it for three points, revealing a cold light.

'Xingzhou' is afraid that it is going to see blood.

Zhou Bei saw that Li Chang'an had made up his mind, and he was also enthusiastic, patted his chest, and said: "Brother Xian, since it is for the safety of the people, I, Zhou Bei, am naturally not a turtle with a shrunken head, my head has a big scar, and I will be a good man after eighteen years, and I will definitely advance and retreat together!" ”

"Good!" Li Changan put away the long sword, held the sword and arched his hand: "Brother is so angry, advance and retreat together!" ”

Tang Kan next to him shook his head, but he was also a little happy, if Li Changan died, he would naturally be happy, and he would naturally hate being injured by Li Changan before.

Tang Dong is undisguised happiness, in his opinion, Li Changan will definitely die!

"The Huns are coming!"

A sergeant ran into the town in a panic, followed by ...... Three hundred Hun iron horsemen!

"Kill !!"
