Chapter 104: Red Sky Beacon Fire

The news that the barbarian Jixiao clan, the Bogu clan, the Tula clan and other 48 tribes, large and small, gathered millions of people and knocked on the border, through the domesticated lightning falcon, has reached all counties and counties in Yunzhou in less than half a day, and the Zhennan general Zuoqiu Hongtu, who guarded Yangping Pass, frequently issued military orders to collect troops from all counties and counties in Yunzhou and go to the border to resist foreign enemies.

In fact, before the onset of winter, it had become customary for barbarian cavalry to go to the border to fight the autumn wind, and in the past, as long as they plundered enough food and supplies, or encountered strong resistance and heavy losses, they would retreat.

These are completely innocuous petty fights, however, this time they have gathered millions of barbarians, and it is obviously not as simple as fighting the autumn wind, but in a vain attempt to knock on the border and capture Yunzhou in one fell swoop!

After receiving an urgent letter from the border pass and the military order of General Zhennan, Yunzhou and the large and small counties were no less than an eight-magnitude earthquake, and the local government began to operate, recruiting people, preparing grain, grass, and ordnance......

At this time, no one dares to take half a point lightly, otherwise the war will be delayed, and it is no longer a question of whether the official hat can be kept!

In the next few days, on the official road leading to the border, the soldiers were like dragons and flags were flying all over the sky, on the contrary, the residents of the villages and towns on the border of Yunzhou packed up their finesse, dragged their families and mouths, and began to pour into the heavily guarded county town, or migrated north, preparing to flee the border battlefield.

The horn of war has been sounded, and the border of Yunzhou has fallen into a clash of blood and fire, and the battlefield has become a meat grinder for harvesting lives.

The barbarians rode across the giant wolf or lion tiger, like a gust of wind swept through the villages and towns on the border of Yunzhou, wielding axes, giant hammers, broadswords, wolf and sheep sticks and other heavy weapons, with the most cruel and bloody attitude, killing all those who dared to resist and those who did not dare to resist, making their broken corpses become the rations of their mounts, and burning the looted villages and towns one by one, so that the raging fire dotted the border land everywhere red.

The black pillar of smoke rushed straight to the sky like wolf smoke, connecting the sky and the earth, and even a pillar of smoke could be seen every ten miles and eight miles, stirring the sky into a miasma, dark clouds were heavy, and the air was full of pungent smoke!

Barbarians can be seen everywhere, or the corpses of the Terrans are lost to the side of the road, and no one collects them, telling the ruthlessness and cruelty of war.

Anfeng County!

The clouds were miserable, the wind was bitter, the towers collapsed into ruins, the towering walls were all broken, the sound of gold and iron in the city, the roars, the sounds of fighting, and the howls of misery, and there were blades, arrows, and mutilated corpses everywhere.

Anfeng County, which was peaceful and lively not long ago, has now been reduced to a ghost.

Murderous, evil, rushing into the sky, and the fiery red pillar of smoke surging high in the sky, the great sun also seemed to be unbearable to witness this cruel killing, quietly hidden behind the dark clouds, for a short time, the battle gradually stopped, and the offensive and defensive battle that lasted for several hours came to an end.

Alatu, the leader of the Tula tribe, pestled the blood-stained Ten Peerless Sun Axes on the ground, and in his sight, the collapsed houses were unknown, and the burning houses were everywhere, and the barbarians with unkempt hair and animal clothes rushed in and out of the houses that were still intact, collecting the food and materials they saw.

"Tell me to go down and let the people move faster!" Aratu commanded as he looked up at the gloomy sky, took a deep breath.

"Yes!"

At Aratu's side, a tall barbarian leader took the order.

Lifting the Ten Peerless Yang Axe, Alatu sat down on a big stone to rest, this time the Tula tribe was lucky enough to tear a small gap on the border of Yunzhou, and ate this piece of fat in Anfeng County, and then further north to advance to the interior of Yunzhou, looting more resources, this is a very big temptation, however, Alatu knows that he can't advance north.

Although the barbarians have always liked to think with their muscles, they can achieve the position of tribal leader, and Aratu's seven points rely on strength, and the remaining three points rely on their brains.

As early as the beginning of the attack on Anfeng County, Anfeng County has lit the Chixiao Beacon Fire, which is a special wood called Chixiao Wood in the Yuanzhou of the Dayin Dynasty as a beacon salary, which is used to ignite the fire, after burning, after special treatment, it will not be wanton and diffuse, and the red smoke will go straight to the sky, mixed with sparks, which can be seen for thousands of miles, and is not afraid of wind and rain.

Since Chixiao Mu is an important strategic resource, it is forbidden to buy and sell, and anyone who collects and sells it without permission will be punished by death, so foreign races cannot imitate it at all!

If you can't hold the border gap that has been torn open, leave a way to retreat, and let the Yunzhou army recapture, they will go deep into the interior of Yunzhou, and they will become wild wolves that gallop wantonly into earth dogs that will be beaten to death sooner or later when the door is closed!

So they had to retreat......

Moreover, the most important frontier defense place in Yunzhou is Yangping Pass, which is guarded by Zhennan General Zuoqiu Hongtu himself, with 300,000 elite troops stationed all year round, a large amount of grain is stored, and it is sealed in a special way, which is not bad for many years, enough for millions of people for ten years, just one food, and there is no need for supplies from other places.

If it can't be overcome and defeated the defense line of Yangping Pass, even if the barbarians tear a huge hole from elsewhere and attack Yunzhou, they will still be thorns in their backs, and they will not be able to sleep and eat, and they may face the enemy on their backs at any time, and the retreat will be blocked, and they will be embattled.

The barbarians have an old saying that spreads widely, the yang is uneven, it is difficult to take Yunzhou, once the Yangping Pass where the elite of Yunzhou is gathered, the millions of barbarian troops can sweep the holes with the plough court and sweep the holes, and capture the counties of Yunzhou one by one.

"I don't know how the Ji Xiao clan and the Bogu clan are preparing......

Aratu murmured.

At this moment, it was high-pitched and loud, like the chirping of gold and iron clashing through the clouds and breaking through the sky, and suddenly sounded, and then a black shadow galloped with a wind.

It was a giant monster with bent horns, black feathers, and a mouth full of smoke, and on its back sat a barbarian.

As soon as the eagle hit the ground, the barbarian jumped down, looked around, and when he saw Aratu in the distance, he stepped forward quickly and bowed down on one knee.

"Urgkin to meet the leader, return to the chief, we have found the army of the Great Yin Dynasty fifty miles to the northwest, and they are rapidly rushing here!"

Aratu had already expected that the Great Yin Dynasty would send reinforcements, and although he was somewhat surprised by the speed of the enemy's march, he was not surprised by the confusion.

"The parade team is in groups of three, and what about the two people who are traveling with you?"

Hearing the leader's question, Urgkin replied truthfully: "The two clansmen who were traveling with me let the enemy's cloud-winged trap bird and the mount Bone Horned Eagle shoot down together, and unfortunately died, and I escaped by luck under the cover of the two clansmen!"

The cloud-winged machine bird is one of the machine birds made by the Tiangong of the Dayin Dynasty, refined with special spiritual materials, engraved with the clouds of the heavens, containing eighteen layers of wind and thunder forbidden law, surrounded by smoke and clouds throughout the body, walking between the clouds and the sky, invisible and hidden, it is difficult for outsiders to find, it is a special thing for the Dayin scout, in addition, it can also send the sky wind and thunder, and the combat ability can not be underestimated!

Alatu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Can you see what kind of banner the army of the Great Yin Dynasty is hanging, and how many men and horses are there?"

The barbarian scout thought for a moment and said, "It's a banner of a white dragon on a black background, and how many people and horses are there...... According to my estimates, there are about 20,000, 6,000 cavalry, 14,000 foot soldiers, more than 100 chariots, and more than 100 trap birds of various types......"
