And the state, Yanmen County, Yanmen Pass.

The old Yanmen Taishou Ye Wang has not been idle these days, and it seems that his days have not been idle since the 30,000 Han army went north. Since the defeat of the Han army, the Yanmen Pass under his jurisdiction has almost every day the Han people living outside the pass migrate here from the boundless wilderness to seek protection, there were 3,000 defenders in the pass, and now they have scattered thousands of horses to guide the displaced people in the hundreds of miles outside the pass.

The gray temples have added a few more strands of gray hair in the past few days, took the towel handed by the servant, wiped it on his face, and the old man continued to build a porridge shed with the sturdy men behind him. The entire Yanmen County has been mobilized, and there are thousands of cavalry patrolling outside the city, and there are sentinel patrols farther away. The county magistrates in the county were ready to receive the displaced people, and countless porridge shacks were erected within a thousand miles. The county soldiers who were drawn from the county were also on their way to Yanmen Pass.

This is already everything Ye Wang can do, the Son of Heaven who is far away in Luoyang has already sent an edict, strictly ordering the three guards not to attack, the Son of Heaven and the dignitaries in power in Luojing are used to seeing the prosperous scenery, who still remembers the last time the Han army was defeated by foreigners. In the past few years, almost all the fierce generals in the frontier of the famous town have been transferred to the central Gongwei Imperial Capital, Ye Wang can't see through what is thinking in the heads of those dignitaries, those men who were born on the battlefield are not political materials at all, why should they be transferred?

Outside the Yanmen Gate, it was just abandoned.

When he was rarely idle, the old man sat on the bluestone steps of his house in Yanmen Pass, and often thought of the resolute face of the young man with a group of aliens, and the middle-aged general who led the cavalry a few days ago.

Outside the Yanmen Gate, it was not abandoned. Groups of displaced people fled to the gate, and there were also people in the pass who went against the current. In addition to Ma Yue's gang, there were also Han cavalry of less than 1,000 people. The commander of this cavalry is the former captain of the Yue Cavalry of the Constitutional Department, and now Lu Liang, the general of the former subordinate of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding.

Eight hundred Han cavalry fully armed, one person with two horses, iron stomach, iron armor, and even four hundred riding crossbows, since the exit of the fortress, the Xianbei cavalry encountered is invincible if there are less than a thousand. Among these 800 Han horses, there are many names that will shine in the world in the future, such as Lu Bu and Gao Shun.

This is a peerless iron horseman.

In the hot summer, the wind howls and rolls the yellow sand all over the sky. The weather in Bingzhou has never been good, and the Yanmen Gate in the north has passed through Dingxiang County, and the Xianbei cavalry is like an overwhelming wind and sand to bury the ancient city outside the Saiwai. The Xianbei cavalry is not good at attacking fortifications, but they have always been invincible on horseback, except for a few border county assassin guards in the Han Empire, they will be afraid, even the northern army of Luoyang will be difficult to defeat them.

Not to mention these militias who use cloth as armor and wooden sticks as guns.

It was not too late for Ma Yue to arrive in Luo County, and there were still a few militiamen in the city who were engaged in street battles with the Xianbei cavalry under the leadership of the remnants of the Han army, and the city had not yet been completely occupied.

This is not the era of guns, a few Japanese soldiers with heavy weapons can drive the whole village back. In the era of swords, regardless of race or bloodline, physical fitness and equipment are the top priority, and life and death depend on martial arts and courage. It's a good time, no matter how dangerous the situation, and even civilians have the opportunity to take up arms and fight for survival, rather than succumbing to the guns and resigning to their fate.

The Xianbei cavalry entered from the east gate, and engaged in street battles with the Han army of Sanmen who rushed to support in the streets, the streets were only three zhang wide, and the small roads in the city extended in all directions, and the two sides of the people belonging to different nationalities fought to the death here, while the other three gates had countless people with their families and small groups to escape and run into the wilderness.

"Brother Monkey, you say... If we rush to the city like this, will we die miserably? ”

Ma Yu lay on the tree and looked at the situation in the city, and Ma Yue glanced at Ma Yue, left the branch from the tree and threw it on Ma Yue's head: "You are stupid! Then thousands of Xianbei cavalry, not to mention the dozen or so of us, it would be useless to rush into the city ten times more! ”

At this time, Ma Yue didn't know that his brother was fighting bloodily with the enemy on the streets of the city, he jumped to the side with his head covered, and shouted as he jumped: "Dead monkey, why are you throwing me, I just asked you if you really plan to rush in... But are we just here watching the city being burned and looted by the Xianbei people? ”

Ma Yu looked at the city intently with a solemn face, and said: "The big thorn rushed in, we all have to fold in, let's take a look first, and then say, the people in the city may not be able to resist thousands of Xianbei people." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and the shouting and killing in the city gradually became quieter, but it did not stop.

On the small hillside of five miles northeast of Luo County, Ma Yue and others relied on towering trees to cover their whereabouts, and a group of people stationed horses under the trees, and the horses squatted on the high branches of the trees to overlook the situation in the city, and the backwardness of the times was always sad for him. Without the presence of telescopes, the distance of three thousand meters became an insurmountable visual gap, even if most of them were archers.

Ma Yue and the others hurriedly circled under the trees, watching black smoke billowing out of the city, listening to the roars of the soldiers in the city and the wails of the civilians, but these men with weapons did not dare to rush into the city to rescue their compatriots.

This feeling is called shame.

Suddenly, the horse in the tree shouted: "San Lang, come up quickly, I seem... It seems that I have seen Second Brother Ma! ”

Ma Yue jumped to the tree as soon as he heard the sound of 'poof': "Where!" Where is it! ”

Following the finger of Ma Tuo, Ma Yue saw most of the scene in the city, at this time the city was full of smoke and fire, and the figure longed for someone to have a horse, but Ma Yue could only see whether it was a person or a horse at such a distance, and even the Xianbei people and the Han people could not distinguish clearly, let alone see the face clearly.

"I can't see clearly, Brother Monkey, can you be sure?"

Ma Yu rubbed his eyes, but found that he could no longer find the group of people and horses just now, such a distance, it was difficult for him to see the situation in the city clearly, not to mention the smoke, he said: "I can't see clearly, but just now I did see a group of men like the eldest brother, like the second brother's burly figure, I'm afraid there are few in the whole city." I think I read that right. ”

"Then it's worth the go!"

Ma Yue jumped down from the tree, clasped his hands together and said to everyone: "Brothers, I have come to the right place, my brother and others are really alive, and they are fighting against the Xianbei people in the city at this time, I am determined to enter the city to rescue, what do you think?" ”

Before the words fell, I heard the horses on the tree shouting: "Han army! South... There is a Han army to the south to come to the rescue! ”

Ma Yue looked south, through the woods layer by layer blocked him to see the south of Luo County at this time, a few miles away from the black pressure of an ironclad cavalry with the banner of the Han army straight to Luo County, brought up the smoke and dust almost obscured the sky, this is the first time in Ma Yue's life to see hundreds of cavalry galloping and charging scene, so that he will never forget.
