And state, outside Yanmen Pass, Zhongling City.

The fortified city of Sizhang was breached on the tenth day of the siege under the stormy attack of the Xianbei cavalry. The remnants of the 600 Han troops broke through the east gate and suffered heavy casualties. Thousands of Xianbei entered the city to burn, kill and loot, the residents were killed or taken captive to the outside of the city as slaves, and there was not one Han in the city.

This Xianbei adult's name is Bu Dugen, he is Putou's younger brother, compared to his brother who has suffered countless casualties but is difficult to break Luo County, his luck is much better.

The same 10,000 people attacked, the giant trees outside Zhongling City were towering, and the trees were lined with cloud ladders that were driven out by the slaves one by one. The county lieutenant in the city cowardly escaped with his family before fighting, and died in the chaos of the army, and there was no one to command the resistance. Before he could fight, Budugen won half of it.

Zhongling City, county government.

The beast's head oil pot, which had been burning all night, smoked, and the blood on the ground mixed with the wine slurry and seeped into the ground, leaving brown stains, and seven or eight tribal adults snorted and shook the sky with their pillows on the wine jar. The young leader, Budugen, sat on the couch with a tired face, and the young general in the animal skin jacket whispered to him about the military situation.

"My lord, three of the ten scouts sent back, Lord Putou has invested almost all his troops in Luo County in the north for a long time."

Budugen's eyes were very big, like two longan grapes, and he widened his eyes and said, "Big brother Luo County didn't beat it down?" ”

"There are remnants of the Han army in Luo County, and Lord Putou has lost 6,000 people, and the city walls have been scattered and have not yet been captured."

Budugen smiled: "Then I will take the headquarters to support the eldest brother, you wait here, and let them escort the captives all the way back when the tribe adults wake up." After taking two steps, Budugen turned around and stretched out two fingers to point at the young man in the leather jacket: "Let them leave me five thousand slaves, don't forget." ”

The young general hurriedly said, "My lord, last night I found the corpse of the scout twenty miles to the north, all of them are gone, there is a Han name Ma Yue, and the traces are not more than 100 people in a small group of Han troops." ”

"Got it."

Bu Dugen doesn't care, there are more than 7,000 people in his headquarters, 1,000 dead and 1,000 ran away and 5,000 left, the remnants of the Han army are just a group of lost dogs in his heart.

When Ma Yue jumped out of the woods on both sides of the road with more than 20 Qiang people, the remnants of the Han army turned around and ran, and even lost their weapons when they ran fast. Ma Yu hurriedly whistled and chased after them with more than 20 Qiang horsemen, and surrounded them on the official road.

The Han army was frightened, and more than 50 people who had lost their armor all the way to exile were disgraced, and when they saw that Ma Yue and the others were mostly aliens, they turned around and ran, and they didn't even realize the difference in numbers.

After some reassurance, Ma Yue convinced the Han army that they were also Han.

"Young man, run, Zhongling has been breached, Dingxiang, Shanwu, Wucheng, and Luoxian beacons have all been ignited, and tens of thousands of Xianbei people are about to be killed, run to the Guannei, it's too late!"

Ma Yue has been staring at these county soldiers for a long time, and when he saw Guan Yu pouting at him, he had not been out of the customs for a long time, but it was obvious that Ma Yue had lost a lot of weight, and now his face had a little more taste of a mature man. He smiled and asked, "Have you heard of Ma Teng's name in the city?" No, what about Cheng Yin? No, okay, Brother Monkey, leave thirty horses and we'll go. ”

The group left thirty good horses to fly away, leaving the panicked county soldiers to look at each other. The twenty-six mounts were all Xianbei horses with excellent bloodlines and could travel 300 miles a day, but they disappeared from the sight of the county soldiers in a moment. The soldiers sighed, they didn't know the origin of this group of murderous and well-armed murderers, and they didn't want to know, they just wanted to escape.

That's right, the equipment of the group led by Ma Yue can be regarded as sophisticated, each has leather armor and crossbows, and even has at least two ring knives in their hands, which is almost comparable to the regular army in Liangzhou in this era.

Guan Yu frowned on the horse and said to Ma Yue: "San Lang, why do you want to leave good horses for those cowards, if it weren't for one person and two horses, we would have been wiped out." ”

Ma Yue rode very seriously, although he had already learned a little about riding, he still didn't dare to be careless, looked ahead and said: "If someone meets the eldest brother, I also hope that someone can wish him a hand." ”

Sighing, Guan Yu didn't say anything more, and rode away with everyone...

It has been six days since the north out of Yanmen Pass, and in six days, Ma Yue and others met nine Xianbei tribesmen, three large troops of more than 100 people were escaped by everyone, four ambushes and assassinations were ambushed twice, and several times escaped from death, which made everyone feel a lot.

Even a man with a strong physique like Guan Yu couldn't help but show a trace of tiredness between his eyebrows, not to mention everyone. In the past few days, every time Guan Yu fights, he must be the first, and the most dangerous place on the front line can always see Guan Yu's majestic figure wielding a long knife, the more small-scale the battle, the more important the cutting-edge force, if the number of people is equal, Guan Yu can block three people, and two people can free up their hands to help their partners, and victory or defeat is often between the first line.

The smoke and dust of history devoured countless flesh and blood. Only the living exist, and the dead are scattered in the smoke and dust, and they can't be dragged away. At the beginning, with full of anger, Ma Yue and Guan Yuma played with more than 30 people and dared to rush out of the northern Xinjiang, and now the team has been reduced by nearly half, and the anger of several escapes from death has been cooled by the cold reality, and reason has returned to his mind again Ma Yue understands: It is easy to break out of Yanmen Pass, and if you want to survive here, or even find your brother, you need more than just courage.

Ma Yue and the others are similar to a scout team in terms of strength and equipment, and the battles they have experienced have also taken place between scouts. Except for the scouts, when the Xianbei team of more than fifty people found out and fled immediately, it was not a wise choice to fight. The gap between veterans and recruits is not in martial arts, but in mentality. Skirmishes are especially important in small battles, where the slightest negligence of any one person on the battlefield can lead to the destruction of a team of more than twenty people.

More than 30 brothers went out to look for their families, and some of them never saw their families again, regardless of the life and death of their families, they forever fell on the way to find their relatives and slept outside the Yanmen Pass. Ma Yue didn't have the time and energy to feel the deceased, he needed to plan everything, the route of travel, and the tactics. Whenever he used his brain to think about what to do next, Ma Teng's majestic face would appear in his mind, teaching him to be proficient in the essence of General Fubo's art of war handed down by his ancestors.

He easily gained the leadership of this team, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders kept him from breathing. Leadership is not a simple and easy thing, and if you don't think about it in place, your brothers will die. He is a man who is easily afraid, he is afraid of everything that is unknown, he understands too little and thinks too much.

Many historical figures in later generations are often criticized for their indecision, such as Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, who was the most promising hero in the world, and Ma Yue also stood at the highest observation point of later generations to despise Yuan Shao. When he returned to this era, he really led more than 30 people to fight through the vast land, and realized that because of his words, the body of his partner was pierced by the enemy, and he finally understood.

The so-called indecision is nothing more than a concern for the leader. Who is not a careerist who does not care about the life and death of others? History cannot judge right or wrong by success or failure, and victory or defeat is mostly determined by fate and the current situation.

"San Lang, the four counties of Dingxiang are all smoking, where are we going?"

"Luo County is the closest, and then go to Wucheng, Shanwu, Dingxiang. Run one by one, as long as you have a life, you will definitely be able to see your eldest brother. ”
