Erli Village is located in the northwest of Shangfeng City, less than 30 miles away from Shangfeng City.

Although the area where Erli Village is located is a vast plain, the land is very barren, and even the wild grass does not grow luxuriantly.

Therefore, the population of Erli Village is less than 200, and it mainly depends on the small amount of cultivated land reclaimed outside the village and provides food and accommodation for passers-by.

"Driving~"

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

Outside the village, a troop of cavalry appeared on the wasteland, trampled by the hooves of horses, and puffs of dust and smoke rolled up on the dry earth.

This group of cavalry has about 300 horsemen, all of them are dressed in uniform black armor, and the horses are also covered with horse kais on their backs, and they wear horse covers, which are scattered in the shape of an awl.

"Phew!"

"Stop!"

After running for hundreds of meters, the cavalry team came to a village, and the strong man in armor at the head raised his hand to stop the team, looking at the silent village in front of him, his brows tightly locked.

At this time, it was almost time, and the people in the village should have almost returned from their work, but now there was no sign of the people's activities.

Looks like the people here have evacuated too!

Looking at the village in front of him, the strong man in armor muttered in a low voice.

This strong man in armor Hao Ran is Zhou Cang, the general of the Eastern Army, and the 300 cavalry behind him are his personal guards.

At the end of August, Ren Gui, the king of Yuewang outside Shangfeng City, launched an attack on Shangfeng City the next day after getting enough grain and grass, and the unprepared Shangfeng City was broken in one day, and the county guard Wang Yuan, the county Cheng Zheng He, the county lieutenant Du Wei and others abandoned the city in a hurry and fled.

The Nanyi army that took Shangfeng City turned the entire Shangfeng City upside down, burning, killing and looting all evil, the women in the city became the object of wanton venting of the 100,000 Nanyi army, the tragedy was staged in the city every day, and the remaining 150,000 stone grain and grass and thousands of sets of armor and equipment in Shangfeng City were also in the hands of Ren Gui.

A few days after the wanton evil in Shangfeng County, the 100,000 Nanyi army began to march towards Dongyuan County and Baishi County, which were adjacent to Shangfeng County.

However, there was still a small remnant of the Nanyi army in the northern part of Shangfeng County.

Hearing the news of the rebellion of the Nanyi army, people everywhere also abandoned their homes and fled, and in just seven or eight days, the stable Dong'an City accepted more than 100,000 exiled people.

In the southern royal army, Sima Yu has always instilled in them the concept that population is wealth and represents strength. In wartime, the relocation of the people and the acceptance of displaced people are all considered military merits.

Therefore, there are few prisoners in the southern royal army, and they are willing to accept the people who have fled for refuge, and the acceptance of displaced people in wartime is also considered military merit.

Of course, this is also because of the sufficient material reserves in the southern king's army, as well as the strong commercial transportation and supply capacity, which gave them this confidence.

Ren Guijun directly turned a blind eye to the performance of the Eastern Army in accepting displaced people, and he was beaten in Yunlong County for a long time, and he just wanted to stay away from these madmen.

In order to accept as many displaced people as possible, all the soldiers and horses stationed in Dong'an City have been dispatched in turn, and they have scattered to the southern part of Shangfeng County to recruit displaced people.

Zhou Cang relied on the fact that his guards were all cavalry, so he went deep into this place, wanting to recruit more homeless people.

Although the military merit of recruiting displaced people is far lower than that of battlefield combat, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and now the army is in a state of standby, so why not catch it if there is military merit.

"General, we have penetrated deep into the northern territory of Shangfeng City, those Nanyi people who have not yet killed the red-eyed have not completely left, and they may appear here at any time, let's withdraw first!"

After sweeping around, seeing that there was really no one in the village, Du Le, the captain of the personal guard beside Zhou Cang, made a suggestion.

For them, the safety of Zhou Cang is the most important thing, although the Nanyi people will not come to attack them stupidly, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not encounter something they can't think of.

Playing on someone else's home turf is not good for them.

"Alas! Du Le, I said how you are as timid as an old! ”

Regarding Du Le's words, Zhou Cang was disdainful, patted Du Le's shoulder and grinned.

As soon as these words came out, Du Le's face immediately became as black as the bottom of the pot, and he glanced at the people around him who wanted to laugh hatefully, and his heart was so depressed that he couldn't do it.

If Zhou Cang wasn't his superior, he would have wanted to slap him on the back of the head.

"Huh! There's movement in the north, let's go, let's see! ”

Just when Du Le was still about to persuade again, there was a sound of movement hundreds of meters north of Erli Village, and a group of figures could be faintly seen shaking from a distance, Zhou Cang's eyes flashed a bright color, and he couldn't wait to say, and after speaking, he ran over there.

"Alas!"

Seeing this, Du Le patted his forehead, but had no choice but to follow.

"Miss, hurry, they're catching up!"

A few hundred meters north of Erli Village, a man and a woman were running on the wilderness, and the man was cheering the woman on while running.

The man was in his early 40s, dressed like a servant bodyguard, and the woman's face was covered with mud and it was impossible to see the exact appearance, but judging by her curvaceous figure and tattered clothes, she should be a young woman.

"Yo~"

"Yo~"

Behind them, hundreds of pursuing Nanyi people shouted excitedly. With the passage of time, it is rare to see a woman in the northern part of Shangfeng County, and judging from the convoy and servants she is traveling with, this woman's status should not be low, and she may be able to exchange a lot of money.

Thundered~

"Commander, there are cavalry of the Southern King's Army in front!"

Just when these Nanyi people were excited, there was a slight tremor from the ground under their feet, and there was a rumbling sound of iron hooves trampling on the ground in their ears, and a Nanyi soldier couldn't help but look up, and saw the black-armored cavalry who was approaching The face changed greatly, and he said to Zhuo He, the leader of the Nanyi army.

"Catch them!"

Hearing this, Zhuo He glanced at Zhou Cang and them who were rushing over, his face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered loudly to the group of Nanyi soldiers.

Regardless of the intentions of these black-armored cavalrymen, let's grab that chick first.

"Miss, you go first!"

Seeing that these Nanyi soldiers began to speed up towards them, the middle-aged guard's face changed greatly, he stopped his figure suddenly, and turned to meet the Nanyi soldiers who were chasing after him as he spoke.

The young lady was raised by him, just like his own child, and he said that he would keep her safe.

"Uncle Duan!"

The woman who was running also stopped when she heard this, and exclaimed in despair as she looked at the middle-aged man facing the soldiers of the Nanyi Army.

"Good man! Brethren, save people! ”

Zhou Cang, who was riding a horse, saw this scene from afar, and his face showed a hint of emotion, and he immediately ordered Du Le and the others beside him.

He didn't want to clash with these Nanyi troops, but now he can't care about so much.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

"Ahh

"Ahh

Hundreds of arrows rose into the air and shot accurately at the pursuing Nanyi army, and dozens of Nanyi soldiers who wanted to besiege the two immediately became the souls of the arrows.

The 300 guards under Zhou Cang's command were all selected from the 10,000 troops under his command, and naturally all of them had good archery skills.

"Shoot me arrows and kill that slut!"

Looking at the dozens of companions who died tragically in an instant, Zhuo He's face turned fierce, and he directly pulled up his bow and arrow and shot at the woman.

"Thief dares!"

Seeing that several sharp arrows were about to shoot through the woman's body, Zhou Cang's sturdy body had already fallen from the sky and blocked in front of her, and the big knife in his hand danced wildly, knocking all the arrows to the ground.

"Withdraw!"

The black-armored cavalry rushed quickly, and Zhuo He gritted his teeth and had to reluctantly give the order to retreat.
