The sun is like a blazing fire, and the earth is like a steamer.

In the earthy yellow world, there was a troop of cavalry, numbering about thirty, and the men were sleepy and tired, and they were all sweating.

The leader was a bald man, naked and naked, standing on the back of a donkey looking into the distance.

At the end of the field of vision, a slightly distorted pass, slowly revealing its base as the cavalry approached.

The rammed earth walls, which have been corroded over the years, are layered on top of each other, extending to both sides, and finally disappearing at the junction of heaven and earth.

"The perseverance of the ancients cannot be underestimated!" Looking at this epic building, Yang Shuang sighed in his heart.

This is not the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but the much older Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, and the two are not the same concept at all.

In the future world, she has almost disappeared without a trace, and even if there are some ruins, it is less than one-ten-thousandth of what she once magnificent.

She is like a wall in the courtyard, stretching from the north bank of the Yalu River in the East Pole to Dawan in the west, turning towards Yangguan, connecting to Mingsha Mountain, and finally merging with Qilian Mountain, guardian of the vast Central Plains.

"Live up to the name of the Great Wall!"

Yang Shuang sighed again, slapped the donkey's buttocks, and rushed to Yumen Pass with thirty sword and shield soldiers behind him.

The matter of the captives was very easy to solve, and those horse thieves who were seriously injured and saved by skills, after fusing the soul of the soldiers, I don't know if it was because of the system or because they were impressed by miracles, they all agreed to be incorporated into the Sui army.

As for whether he is willing, Yang Shuang doesn't care, it's good to be able to use it, but if you can't use it, kill it!

Moreover, he also has to do experiments to see if these captives who fuse the soul of soldiers will rebel!

Loyalty is an implicit setting, which cannot be seen or touched, and only by going through tests again and again can the true identity be revealed.

There are only thirty-eight soldier souls, except for these thirty sword and shield soldiers, the rest are all converted into archers, and the remaining captives, as well as Shi Da, Sanwazi, Niu Er, and Lao Wu stayed in the ancient city of Hecang.

If the secret service is killed, the Turks will definitely come to retaliate, and the method that Yang Shuang taught Shi Da is very simple: come less, kill it, come more, and return to Dunhuang as soon as possible.

And his task is to take the Yumen Pass with Wu Kun and Abba before it gets dark.

The horse thieves entrenched here are not the gang of Hecang Ancient City, the horse thieves in the Western Regions are just a general term, according to the prisoners, what horses are lost, Loulan Road, Wusun Iron Cavalry, Tianshan Fort, etc., the big ones are nearly a thousand, and the small ones are hundreds, even Gaochang and Yiwu dare not rush to send troops.

The reason why the horse thieves in the ancient city of Hecang can run rampant for hundreds of miles nearby is entirely because of the occupation of Yumen Pass, they can attack and retreat, even if they face thousands of enemy troops, hundreds of people will not be intimidated to defend the city.

Yang Shuang guessed that the black-armored knight must also want here, but unfortunately, there are Turks in the north, Tuyuhun in the south, and the Yangguan Ancient Road is not in his hands, and the eight claws of the two kings can't reach here.

"If it's late, it will change, speed up!"

With the urging, the speed of the horse team increased again, and soon the figures walking on the city wall could be seen.

After the horse thieves left here, more than a dozen people were left to garrison, Yang Shuang was worried that other horse thieves would take advantage of the situation to attack, but fortunately, the captives all knew the leader of the guards.

"Ma Liu, open the door!"

"Huh? Second brother, you're back, what about the eldest brother? ”

"The eldest brother was entangled by Widow Liu, so he had to be happy together at night, but he was worried about the pass, so he asked us to return first!"

"Okay, second brother, you wait, I'll let someone open the door!"

The thieves did not use their own surnames, and more than 200 horse thieves selected ten leaders by force, and then ranked their seniors with the surname of horses, and each led troops.

The leader died under Shi Da's mace, the third child was shot to death by Aba, and the rest of the second child and others were much more honest.

I don't know how many times it was repaired, but the rotten door full of nails was quickly pushed open, and the squeaky and grinding sound made people can't help but get goosebumps.

In order to prevent the captives from taking the opportunity to rebel, Abba took the lead in rushing into the pass with a huge bow in hand.

"Boss, evacuate quickly, there is a situation !!"

"Woo Woo ······"

Just by breathing, Aba's anxious voice came out from inside, and before Yang Shuang could react, dozens of feather arrows suddenly shot down from above the city gate, and then Aba staggered out with his bloody thighs in tow.

Yang Shuang hurriedly fused the soul, raised his shield to block the arrows, jumped off the donkey's back, and protected Abba behind him.

"Retreat!!" Seeing this, Wu Kun ordered the sword and shield soldiers to stay away from the pass with vigilance, and to his relief, this group of horse thief captives who fused the soul of the soldiers did not have the slightest abnormality, and they all obeyed the general's orders, dismounted, erected shields, and formed a circular military formation that they had just learned.

"What's going on?" Yang Shuang held the shield with one hand, picked up Aba with the other, and quickly retreated to his own team.

Aba's thigh scar was deep into the bones, the blood flowed like an infusion, judging from the wound, it should be a knife injury, after being put down, he inhaled cool air in pain, quickly poured out some green powder from the medicine gourd, sprinkled it on the wound, gritted his teeth and hummed: "There is an ambush inside!" It should be the Igo soldiers! It's too dark inside to see the number of people! ”

The duration of Tianxiang's 24-hour life extension had not disappeared, Yang Shuang cut off the spear and stuck it on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "Yiwu soldiers? ”

Ma Er is now considered Wu Kun's deputy, and when he heard the conversation between the two, his eyes were full of incredulity, "Impossible!" Yiwu is now in the fear of the Turks heading south, and it is impossible to send soldiers across the desert to Yumen Pass! Unless······"

Ma Er was talking, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Yang Shuang was stunned, could it be that there was any secret in this? Hurriedly asked, "Unless what?" ”

"Yangguan Ancient Road! Unless the Yangguan Ancient Road is lost, the Sui ····· entrenched in the Yangguan Ancient Road No, it's our own people who have retreated here! Logically speaking, it shouldn't! Although our attire is still the same, you and a few adults, the general, are all wearing standard simple armor! How could they possibly attack the Abba Witch? ”

Yangguan Ancient Road lost?

Yang Shuang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, the Yangguan Ancient Road was not in the hands of the Dunhuang defenders, how could it be lost?

Before, the Black King Eight sent troops to fight, and I don't know what the result was, could it be that Tuyuhun went north, and the Black King Eight was defeated and died?

Someone's face changed, some pity, some excitement, and finally sadness.

Although the eight Black Kings are not good, they have taken in themselves anyway.

Before someone could fall silent and grieving, Wu Kun suddenly spoke, "No! None of them are right! ”

Yang Shuang and the others were stunned for a moment, and then focused their eyes on them.

"It is impossible for the Dunhuang garrison to fail, because the reinforcements from Zhangye and Yumen County have arrived. In order to deal with the Turks who are going south, as well as Tuyuhun who are preparing to go north, the number of troops will naturally not be small, although it will not reach 10,000 people, but there will be 5,000! Under the frenzied attack of thousands of troops, the Yangguan Ancient Road must have fallen into our hands, and these soldiers may be the defeated army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty guarding Yangguan! ”

"Hiss ······"

Yang Shuang gasped, under the attack of thousands of troops, can there still be a rout?

What a rout!

"Boom la la ······"

didn't let Yang Shuang doubt for too long, and many armor soldiers came out of the inland of the city gate one after another!

Yes, it was the armor, like the armorers who guarded the guards in the first place, almost armed to the teeth.

Horizontal swords, shields, spears, simple armor, battle helmets, and combat boots, although they are seriously worn everywhere and stained with blood, the momentum that leaks out of the whole body does not have a trace of a rout!

They are indeed Northern Zhou soldiers!

Because the battle flag engraved with the word "Northern Zhou" has fluttered on the top of the Yumen Gate Tower!
