The night sky reveals the stars, the quiet outline of the city wall is faint in the lead blue, the cicada chrysalis in the soil breaks through the soil, slowly climbs the tree pole, little by little breaks the chrysalis into a cicada, stretches its wings, the night has faded, the bright sun shines down, the shade of the trees clearly shakes on the road in the distance, it sends out the first sound of coming to this world at the same time, the flag flutters in the wind and stretches.

Yunzhong is a border county, since King Zhao Wuling set up a county here, most of the local people have blood and bravery, Hu Lu will also fight to defend their homeland when they invade the south, only when they are powerless and powerless will they hide in the surrounding cities to participate in the defense of the city.

The surrounding villages have seen more than 7,000 soldiers and horses crossing the border, boldly go to the entrance of the village and look at the big banner with the words Han and Gongsun written on the side, the clouds have been hanging in the north for a long time, since the death of Emperor Ling, there are few troops passing here. In the marching procession, scouts pass messages to and from ordinary people. On horseback, Zhang Yang, who was forced to participate in the expedition, looked at the city wall that had shown its outline at the end of his vision, and his heart was somewhat excited, he had not returned to his hometown for many years.

"After taking Yunzhong County, Uncle Zhi may be able to sit in this position." Half Moon's march, he was already quite familiar with the other party, he rode up side by side, his eyes also looked at the silhouette over there, with a smile on his face: "Huaxiong and Gao Sheng have already taken Dingyang, Gongsun Yue and Zou Danbing have taken down Daijun without blood, and only this cloud is left, so you have to work harder." ”

Zhang Yang looked at the general with a smile on his face in silence, and after a while, in the midst of the horse's hooves, he finally spoke: "Lead the general...... If it is a childish uncle who believes in me, let me go into the city, and if I can persuade the city to come and surrender, the blood of the soldiers will not have to infect the earth in vain. ”

He paused in his words, tightened the reins, and shifted his gaze to the city again, then smiled at the corner of his mouth, and lowered his voice: "Gongsun Assassin Shi is decisive and never forgives people easily, presumably this is the reason why he didn't kill me." ”

Probably when Zhang Yang said these words, he had some guesses in his heart, and at this time, he would not continue to ramble, if the Taishou of Yunzhong County really didn't know whether to live or die, then it would not be difficult to attack a city in disrepair with more than 7,000 people under his command.

"Well, since Uncle Zhi already has a case in his heart, he won't talk much." He took a deep breath and looked at the bright skylight, the cicadas squeaking and squeaking...... "But it's useless to just talk, you have to put on a threatening posture of soldiers coming to the city." ”

Immediately, he raised his hand: "After the order, the camp is thirty miles away from the clouds and goes down to the village, and the cavalry will follow me to escort Zhang Taishou into the city." Then, he turned his gaze, "Time is pressing, how about Uncle Zhi enter the city first to test it?" ”

"Okay, I'll go into the city first." Zhang Yang arched his hand, whipped his whip, and shouted violently: "Drive-"

The horses galloped.

Around, the 1,500 Black Mountain Cavalry led by Zhao Zhao also began to accelerate, everyone waved their long soldiers and shouted loudly, and the team formed a long dragon and rushed out, running faster and faster, the ground shook and roared, rolling up smoke and dust, and made a threatening gesture towards Cloud City in front. Soon after, the cavalry was found on the city wall, and the herald rushed down the city with the news, and ran towards the government office, half an hour later, the officials and generals rushed up to the city wall, and in the early morning skylight, the cavalry figures on the opposite side galloped forward, listing the formation, the distant infantry brigade, hunting with flags, constantly replenishing in, and stretching out.

Soon, a horse galloped under the city wall alone and shouted upwards: "I am Zhang Yang and Uncle Zhang Zhi, and I want to see the clouds in the middle of the world." ”

"Uncle Zhang Zhi...... Isn't he a member of the party...... Why did you bring the troops back? ”

"Do you want to take the city?"

“.…… Don't guess, Zhang Yang has always been loyal and righteous, and he won't come for no reason, since he rode over to meet him alone, he might as well let him into the city and listen to what he has to say. "It was suggested.

In the small whispers, he finally opened a gap in the city gate and let Zhang Yang, who came alone, in...... Looking at the figure entering the city, he waved his hand and issued a series of warning and defense orders, and the formation was violently swinged.

Spirits and wolves.

*********************

Our field of vision extends to the west, is the undulating magnificent and majestic Yin Mountain, the beast is running in the forest, suddenly stepping on the empty foot of the fallen leaves and falling into the trap, a hunter in the distance excitedly chased from behind, smiled and glanced at the prey caught in the hole, when wiping the sweat, there was a wind blowing in the forest field, faintly there was a different sound, he leaned over, picked up the grass and looked at the opposite mountain, his pupils constricted, something reflected the sun, shining into his eyes.

Between the narrow mountain roads, it is a long snake like an army circling in the mountains, a short eagle flag with nameplates, neatly held high in the hands of the marching flag bearers, the number of nameplates on it is also slightly different, probably representing the title or number of each team, countless footsteps step across the ground and tread, along the road winding to the south, pointing to the foot of Yin Mountain, the south of the Wuyuan City.

The eagle flew over the mountain stream, the black shadow brushed over the back of the mountain road, a row of scaly armor, wearing a mask of spear-wielding cavalry, the field of vision further back, a figure riding a brown and yellow war horse raised his hand to cover the sun, looked at the black shadow flying in the sky, put down his hand, the skin was white and rough, the beard was cleanly shaved off, the eye sockets were deeply sunken and the nose was high, the upper body only had a short-arm breastplate, and a white robe was covered, and the figure looked quite burly and strong.

Ahead, a herald ran up, his right hand straightened, and after saluting with his palm facing down, probably to convey the news from the front, and soon the general on horseback nodded, let him go, hooked his fingers, his chapped lips lightly opened, and commanded in a language that belonged only to them: "Ahead find the village of the Orientals, maybe you can get supplies there, send someone to try to communicate." ”

The trumpeter blows the horn.

"Where did it come from...... The army ......" Orion flinched back in fright, and then pulled out his legs and ran back, presumably to pass the news on to the scout station in the nearby Gohara.

Soon after he left, a Roman team of about eight people had already left Yinshan Mountain and headed for a village at the foot of the mountain, at this time noon passed, most of the villagers were busy in the fields, some of them did not notice that the foreign soldiers entered the village, and the other part saw that something was wrong, ran back from the field and shouted at each other, and chased after them.

The soldiers who entered the village looked at the buildings in the village, probably a little strange, and then went to a private house, knocked, and after a while, the white-haired old man came out tremblingly with a wooden stick, looking at the figure of Badao in burlap clothes, bare thighs, and wearing a pair of leather sandals, his cloudy eyes narrowed, and he raised the wooden stick to beat: "Get out of the village...... Foreigners are not welcome here. ”

The soldier took a step back, let go of the wooden stick that had been knocked down, laughed and muttered something to his companion beside him, pointing to the opposite one, gesturing to compare his height, and then the other seven people also laughed, but they didn't mean to do anything.

The old man couldn't understand what they were saying, but he could probably hear the mockery from the laughter of the other party, his wrinkled face crawled with anger, the wooden stick smashed on the ground, and he yelled at them hoarsely: "Brown haired slave get out, I want the Xianbei people to invade the south back then, but I have killed several people in my hands, and if you stay, I will kill you......"

The laughing Roman soldier was stunned, but he saw the old man's excited appearance, laughed for a while, shook his head and turned away, and went to another house, some women in the village were feeding a few poultry, and suddenly saw a strange figure coming, so frightened that he hurriedly fled into the house with the children playing next to him and closed the door.

The Roman soldiers frowned, and one of them pointed to a few poultry pecking on the ground not far away, and they had not eaten meat for half a month after a long march, and when there was not enough food, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at each other, and pounced, and ran around with the wings of the chickens.

Behind them, the old man before came over with a wooden stick uneasily, and when he saw that the eight aliens were chasing, he angrily quickened his pace, waved the wooden stick and smashed it on the head of one of them, and the other party staggered forward with his head in his arms.

"These are the lifeblood of the old Li family, you dogs are taking our lives! The old decay fought with you. The stubborn old man shouted and waved his stick, and the rest of the people rushed over to push the old man from the East, but in the confusion, the white-haired figure fell down and hit the wall, and the blood flowed from his forehead, and he crawled on the ground and did not move.

In the next room, a woman saw this scene through the crack in the window, and screamed in horror: "Murder! The foreigners are coming—"

Several nearby neighbors also poked their heads out, and then retracted, and some people rushed out with sticks and hoes and shouted loudly, nearly half of the village was alarmed, and dozens of people ran out of their houses and rushed in the direction of the dead.

In the midst of the screams, the eight Roman soldiers saw that this was not right, and hurriedly pulled out their legs and ran towards the outside of the village, however, the men who had seen them enter the village in the fields before, and more than ten people who called friends and friends were also intercepted, and when they heard a voice in the village shouting "killing", they angrily smashed their hoes and sickles at each other's heads and faces.

The eight men drew their short swords and wanted to form a formation, and then ...... Seventy or eighty figures swarmed over, smashing and smashing, and after a while, the resisting bodies screamed a few times, and after a few people fell, two people broke through and ran out.

At this moment, the sky clouds became ominous.
