There is a little autumn rain on the withered yellow field, and the rain after autumn is extremely cold, and the temperature of this heaven and earth has been pulled out by another layer.

The muddy path is endless, and several people in plain clothes are rolling up their trousers, pushing a wooden frame cart stuck in the mud puddle forward against the drizzle, and if you look closely, you can see that your body is already wet.

"Drink... After putting countless dead grass pulled from the surrounding area under the wheels, several people cooperated and finally pulled out the wheels that had fallen into the mud pit.

The strongest man skillfully put the rope on the front of the car on his body, and two more people on both sides of the body cooperated with him to push the car and swayed forward.

Although it was only a light rain, the mud on the road was already soaked overnight, so the soft and slippery road surface made it difficult for the wooden frame trucks full of goods to walk.

"Uncle clan, it's not a way to go on like this, it's too slow." The man in the cart on the left suddenly said that this person was about forty years old, and his messy beard seemed to have never been taken care of, and he was staring at an old man with white hair sitting in the car, waiting for the other party's answer.

"Yes, Uncle Zu" The person pulling the cart in front of him also spoke out at this time, "There are a lot of pots and pans, buckets and rice tanks on this car, we can all go to the city and buy them again, and the second baby is now an official in the city, even if we leave empty-handed, can we still eat without a mouthful of food?" ”

The old man in the car turned a little ugly, but he still didn't answer.

At this time, the person standing on the right exited and said: "Uncle clan, when it was night last year, I heard that the Humeng barbarians had slaughtered the village on the mountain north of us, including the elbow that even the government couldn't help him, and none of the sixty-four people in the village fell, and their heads were cut off and taken away by those Humeng barbarians." ”

Sure enough, the old man in the car looked obviously shocked, because he understood who were the people in the cottage in the north of the village, and they were all ruthless people who were licking blood from the knife edge, and even the Humeng people who had cleaned them up were not afraid.

And according to common sense, the village has been ransacked, so the next is this village, which is why they have to hurry while it is dark at night.

It's just that the road is wet because of the rain, so after a night, they haven't even walked twenty miles.

The old man looked at the utensils that had been with him for many years next to him, some of them were reluctant to say goodbye to their old friends, hesitating, hesitating, and although the three people under the car were anxious, they didn't dare to say anything.

After a long time, the old man sighed and said slowly: "That's it, after all, it's something outside the body." ”

The three of them looked happy, and the man pulling the car in front walked quickly to the back of the car, "Uncle clan, the three of us take turns to carry you, and I will come first." ”

But the old man refused, "Just unload the extra things, I will lie on the car, I am old, but I can't stand your toss." ”

The man hesitated, glanced at the other two, and then reluctantly compromised: "It's okay." ”

So the three of them unloaded the things that had been piled up like a hill on the car one by one as fast as they could, but in the process of throwing them away, the old man wanted them to take everything to him for seeing, and it was up to him to decide whether to keep it or not.

In this way, it is even more wasteful of time, although the three of them are anxious, but they are helpless, in this era, "filial piety" and "loyalty" are the creed of every simple person.

At this time, it was already dawn, the three of them clapped their hands, and the last thing was cleaned out, "It's finally good!" ”

looked at each other and smiled bitterly, although there were still a lot of things in the car, but compared to the previous hill, it was much better now.

The three of them returned to their positions again, only in the next second, they were already looking desperately at the group of dark shadows that were hurrying on the road when they came.

The wild cheers of "Oh Hello ......", the waving swords, and the heavy and steady sound of horses' hooves all show the identity of the visitor.

"Death is coming!"

The men on both sides of the car only had time to react to such a piece of information in their minds, and they were divided into two groups of Humeng cavalry who rushed past and fell to the side of the car with a knife, and one of them also threw himself on the old man, frightening the old man to scream like a child, causing a burst of wanton ridicule from the surrounding Humeng soldiers.

"Hahahaha" There was a burst of laughter, although the old man and the surviving middle-aged people could not understand, but from their expressions, it could be seen that this was a game of cat and mouse, Humont cavalry was cats, and they were lame mice, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to.

A Humont cavalryman dismounted, stepped onto the carriage, and the old man in the carriage jumped down in a hurry, and did not stand firm because of the slippery landing, and fell down after a stumble, covered in mud.

There was another loud ridicule, and Hu Mengbing in the car did not follow to tease him, but turned his head and locked his eyes on the pile of debris on the car, flipping quickly, looking for what they wanted, but turned it upside down, and only turned out one, two, two pieces of silver and a few copper plates, which made the "hard-working" Hu Mengbing very unhappy.

"Waladu, Zaharaka?" Hu Mengbing looked up at the middle-aged man at the front of the car, and asked angrily.

The middle-aged man looked at the other party blankly, not knowing what he was talking about, Hu Mengbing obviously did not intend to give patience to the other party, and glanced at a Hu Mengbing behind the middle-aged man, the Hu Mengbing soldier nodded knowingly, and then took out the short bow and arrows on his side with a cruel smile, and then skillfully bent the bow and arrows, aiming at the middle-aged man.

The man was trembling in front of the Hu Mengbing in the car at this time, completely unaware that the breath of death behind him was quietly rushing in.

The white-haired old man on the side saw everything clearly, but under the deterrence of Hu Mengbing, he didn't even dare to let out a fart easily, so he could only turn his gaze to the side.

As if he had a premonition in his heart, the middle-aged man turned his head in panic, trying to see everything clearly, but the moment he turned around, Hu Mengbing's right hand holding the bowstring loosened.

The sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh sounded, and the arrow pierced the middle-aged man's neck with unmistakable accuracy, and then passed through the other side.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened and he tried to open his mouth to say something, but all he could do was the sound of blood bubbles accumulating in his throat.

The green tendons on his neck erupted, as if he was struggling to return to the light, but after a few breaths, his eyes began to fade, and his originally energetic torso was now out of life, and he slowly collapsed on the muddy road, allowing blood to gush out of his mouth.

In the face of the tragic death of his clansmen, the white-haired old man still shrunk his body, trembling and stumbling his teeth and knotting:

"Don't ...... Don't kill me, I ...... Child...... The son is in the city...... As an official, I can ...... Can be given ...... Give you money. ”

Hu Mengbing in the car obviously didn't understand what the old man said, but looked at him with great interest, as if he was thinking about how to deal with this guy who was afraid of death, because this kind of person often has some use value.

……

The land outside Shema Town was wet due to the rain at this time, and this situation was absolutely unfavorable for Humeng's army, so since last night, Humeng stopped attacking Shema Town in small groups, and the Humeng camp at this time was full of property, cattle and women looted by Humeng people from all over the country.

Because it is not far away, all the things in the Humeng camp outside the city, the Yan army on the city wall can see it clearly, and at this time it has become the hell of the Yan people, and countless painful wails are there to rush to the sky, floating in the ears of every soldier of the Yan army, making people shudder.

The voice of the "camp commander" was very serious, mixed with a little sadness, even if Yan Wuji had experienced so many lives and deaths, but when he saw this scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be angry, eager to rescue those who were suffering.

Qiu Xin was standing next to Yan Wuji, and at this time he was also quietly watching everything outside the city, but for the veteran generals of the battlefield who were accustomed to seeing life and death, what the Humeng people did in front of him was to provoke the soldiers in Xiema Town, make them angry, make them willing to fight, and let them ignore the military rules and laws because of anger, and at that time, even if they were themselves, they would not be able to suppress them, stop them, and order them.

A group of fierce beasts out of the cage, although the individual combat ability is extremely fierce, but under the intention of the Humeng army, these thousands of soldiers, that is, enough Humeng people to cut the meat mound for half a day.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to make the anger that has gradually grown in Shema Town quickly fade.

More and more Yan soldiers ran up to the city to watch the situation of Humeng's camp without orders, Qiu was anxious, but he couldn't do it, so he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Wuji, if the formation is orderly with scattered and disorganized, what will be the result?" ”

"Defeat!" Although Yan Wuji was puzzled, he still answered the answer he knew.

Qiu Xin nodded, and then asked: "'The soldiers have clouds, avoid water, prevent forests, and do not enter the mountains; Jealousy, jealousy, and anger are silent. Do you know why? ”

This sentence is a sentence written in the "General Outline of the Way of Soldiers" in the classic book "Wu'an Soldier's Book" written by the Spring and Autumn Soldier Saint Bai Sheng, and Yan Wuji has also read it many times, and the gist of it is also clear.

To put it more bluntly, when marching, do not follow the waterway, and do not boast about the water until it is absolutely necessary, because it will easily be flooded by the enemy; Do not march into the woods, as it will be easy for the enemy to take fire; When passing through the peak, do not go up the mountain, otherwise you will leave the enemy besieged on the mountain and left alone.

The next sentence says that the commander of the army should not be proud of the enemy because of his own advantages, otherwise it is easy to let the opponent take advantage of it because he is ready to relax his vigilance; Those who command the troops must not be impatient, otherwise they are prone to make wrong judgments and decisions; When you are angry, you should not easily send troops into battle, it is likely that it is a spur of the moment caused by anger, but the enemy will not give you a chance to regret it at all.

After Qiu Xin's words, Yan Wuji suddenly woke up, and looked back at the purgatory scene outside the city, how could he not understand the sinister intentions of the Hu Meng people.

Yan Wuji dared to guarantee that outside Xiema Town at this time, there must be a big knife that was always shining with cold sword light, just waiting for the Yan army in Xiema Town to show his head, as long as Yan Jun showed his head, the big knife would be cut down without hesitation.

The Humeng people don't care how much combat power they can kill the Yan army, as far as they are concerned, the defenders in Xiema Town, they can kill as many as they come, even if they are all dispatched, they also have the strength to chop the whole body into meat sauce.
