The black warriors categorically would not give the Great Chu defenders of the border pass a chance to breathe, and the initial goal they set was to take the Daizhou border pass within three days at most, break through Daizhou within seven days, and fifteen days later, the troops came to the city of Jizhou.

After learning that the Great Chu of the Central Plains was on the verge of collapse, he ordered the transfer of troops to the south without any hesitation, and he would never give up this opportunity easily.

Since the first generation of the Khans of the Black Martial Kingdom, this dream has been passed down in the blood of each generation of Khans, and it has been hundreds of years now.

The Black Warriors are well aware of the complexity and frequency of the Central Plains people's infighting, and they have always believed that if the Central Plains people themselves don't give a chance, even if they are as powerful as the Black Martial Empire, they will not be able to fight, but fortunately, the Central Plains people will fight infighting from time to time, and if they fight, the entire Central Plains will be turbulent, this is a good opportunity for them to go south.

The black warriors also know very well that although the Central Plains people are fierce, they are more tenacious, when the opportunity to invade the Central Plains comes, but they can't subdue the Central Plains people at one time, then soon the Central Plains people will stand up again.

The black military general Lu Chi was ordered to go south, and the pressure on him can be imagined.

This time, the Black Warrior Empire was pulling together and suppressing the grassland people to get out of the way, which was the closest Heiwu had ever come to entering the Central Plains in hundreds of years.

He drew his scimitar and pointed it at the border.

"Kill it, let those weak Central Plains people know how terrible our scimitars are, let them surrender to the scimitars of the black warriors, let the Central Plains become our fertile land, and let the Central Plains people become our slaves!"

With the sound of the horn, the black warrior army began to squeeze towards the side of the border pass, from the grassland to enter Daizhou, this is the only passage, the mountain gorge is not very narrow, the width of the team can also allow the black warriors to play the advantage of the army.

In fact, the Black Warriors have always looked down on the Central Plains people, they think that the Central Plains people are far inferior to them in terms of height and courage, in the words of the Black Warriors, the Central Plains people are a group of inferior people abandoned by the moon god, but they have stolen the most prosperous and splendid rivers and mountains in the world.

"Kill!"

With the shouts of killing, the black warriors began to accelerate forward.

Tan Qian, the general of the border army, raised his hand and wiped it on the corner of his mouth, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, only the ruthlessness and determination of the battle that was about to start.

"Save some feather arrows, let them go to the city and shoot arrows again, don't waste them!"

He shouted loudly, and the soldiers responded in a neat voice.

When the team of the black warriors reached the range of the archers, after a loud shout, the feather arrows poured down from the city wall, and the feathered arrows thrown fell in the dense crowd, like the rainstorm hitting the beach and leaving traces of pits one by one, each pit was a fallen black warrior.

However, compared to the number of the Black Martial Army, this lethality is still too small, after all, the Great Chu defenders on the city wall can only fight more than 500 people, and it is impossible for 500 people to release arrows at the same time, in order to ensure continuous combat, these 500 people were also divided into two teams.

The black warrior roared and rushed forward, no matter who the fallen companion was beside him, even if it was the best friend who got along day and night on weekdays, he couldn't care about it at all at this time.

They braved the rain of arrows to rush to the bottom of the city wall, trying their best to erect the ladder, and the person holding the ladder became the first target of the soldiers of the Great Chu Mansion, and it didn't take long for the corpses under the city wall to begin

Piled up, but it was difficult to prevent the ladder from leaning against the city wall.

"Knock the ladder down!"

Tan Qianshou shouted while struggling to push away the ladder in front of him with a hook, the slope of the ladder, it is impossible to push the ladder down by hand, the ladder will be stuck in the wall battlement, and if you want to push it to both sides, you can't push it, you can only push it forward.

The ladder fell, and the black warrior who climbed on the ladder wailed and fell, and if he was lucky, he could stand up quickly, but if he was unlucky, he broke his bones, and it was difficult to stand up in the dense crowd, and he might not be long before he was trampled to death by his companions.

Tan Qianshou knocked down a cloud ladder, raised his head and looked into the distance, from the city down to the mountain gorge, all the black pressure was the army of the black warriors, and the cloud ladder he pushed down seemed to have fallen into the surging waves.

At the same time, the state of Dai.

Liu Mu, the general of the Daizhou garrison, glanced at the person kneeling in front of him, it was a captain who had rushed from the border without sleep, and the young man's face was full of exhaustion and expectation.

"General, please send troops to help the border pass immediately, General Tan's troops are insufficient, the vanguard team of the black warriors is dozens of times the strength of our border guards, please send troops to rescue immediately."

The lieutenant's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Warriors?"

General Liu Mu snorted and said: "For hundreds of years, the black warriors have never gone south at the border of Daizhou, in my opinion, it should be the rebels who attack you, if it is a rebel, you General Tan should send someone to ask Prince Wu, Prince Wu is the one who aims to exterminate the rebels in the north, as the chief general of Daizhou, I can't easily lead the army to leave, if I fall into the rebels' plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and lose Daizhou, the person who loses his head is me and not your General Tan." ”

The lieutenant jerked his head up, his eyes full of surprise.

"General, it's really a black warrior who has killed him, beg the general to ......"

Liu Mu said: "You don't need to beg me, if you General Tan came to beg me in person, maybe it would work, you go back and tell him that when I was defending the position, I sent people to him three times to ask for help, what did you General Tan say?" He said that it was difficult for each to do his job. ”

Liu Mu said: "You just say what I said...... No, this is your General Tan's own original words to bring back to him, as the chief general of Daizhou, I dare not leave my post without permission, I and him perform their own duties, it is difficult to move. ”

"Shame on you!"

The captain stood up, stared at Liu Mu with blood-red eyes and scolded: "Back then, when we fought with the black warriors, our General Tan was also under siege, if he evacuated to save you, the flank of the army would be broken by the black warriors, how many people would die in that case?!" ”

Liu Mu was not angry, but smiled and said: "So, others can't die, but I, as his former best friend, must die?" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Muyi waved his hand: "Fork people out, dare to roar at Shangguan, have no military discipline, slap them twenty times, and blast people out of the camp!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Mu's personal soldiers came up, put the captain up and dragged him out, and the captain roared angrily: "Liu Mu! You ignore the border war because of personal enmity, you are a despicable villain! ”

Liu Mu shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm a villain, go back and tell you General Tan, I didn't die back then, I was lucky because of my life, and now I sincerely wish him good luck in life." ”

The next day, the border pass.

Tan Qianshou sat on the city wall, his face was so tired, he hadn't rested much for two days and two nights,

Relying on the more than 1,000 troops under his command, he blocked more than a dozen consecutive onslaughts of tens of thousands of black warriors.

But at this moment, he didn't know how long he could hold on, for two days and two nights, the number of dead and wounded soldiers under his command was almost to the point that no one was available, and now there were almost no injured soldiers on their bodies, but all the lightly injured were on the city wall, and the seriously injured were lying in the city wall.

"General......

His own army was sitting next to him, and the man who had lost his right arm looked pale, and when the black warrior rushed to the city wall, he was the one who blocked the general's sword, and he lost his right arm, but he did not regret it at all.

He looked at General Tan and said: "The brothers are not afraid of death, until now, everyone knows that death is inevitable, but the brothers have not eaten for a day and a night, all the people who can still move are on the city wall, the black warriors don't give us a little time to rest at all, they have tens of thousands of troops to attack in rotation, and we ......"

Tan Qianshou patted Wang Kuan on the shoulder: "Wait until you get to Jiuquan, if there is a wine shop over there, I will invite all our brothers to drink wine and eat meat, but now ......"

"Here comes the grain!"

At this moment, someone in the city wall ran up with a burden, it was a simple man who looked to be in his forties, and a large bamboo basket was hung at each end of the flat pole he carried, covered with a quilt, but there was still heat coming out through the quilt.

Behind the man, there were quite a few people who were ascending the city, including women and old men, and half-grown children, all of whom had come with their things.

The man ran to Tan Qianshou's side, opened the bamboo basket and grabbed two nests from inside, and when he handed them to Tan Qianshou, his face was full of guilt.

"I'm sorry Shogun, but I'm really ...... There is really no white flour, only stick noodles, but don't worry, general, we don't mix bran or bran in the nest, this is for the brothers, we can take out as good as we can, this is ...... It's shabby, but it's the best food we can make. ”

Tan Qianshou looked at the steaming stick in his hand, nodded vigorously, and nodded again, he bit on the head of the nest, leaving some blood stains on the place where the head of the nest was bitten.

"Delicious!"

Tan Qianshou smiled as easily as he could, but tears flowed down his face.

"Folks!"

The man stretched out his hand and picked up the flat pole and shouted: "Those who can fight stay to help, women and children who can't fight will go back, they can help whatever they can, and if they don't have weapons, they will carry stones up, we won't release arrows, and we won't use stones to hit those black beasts!" ”

"Good!"

The villagers responded, they had no serious weapons in their hands, hoes, flat poles, kitchen knives, sickles, and their blood to defend their homeland, this is their home and their life.

Tan Qian stood up with his hands on the city wall, he looked at the villagers, and the villagers were also looking at him.

"Great Chu Border Army!"

Tan Qianshou shouted.

All the soldiers on the city wall who could still move stood up and stood solemnly, they were all bloody, and even the strength to eat seemed to be gone, but now they stood straight.

"Salute!"

Tan Qianshou's hoarse shout seemed to resound through the sky and pierce the clouds.

With a snort, those border soldiers who were covered in blood and injured saluted the most standard military salute of the Great Chu Border Army.
