In the northern city of Youzhou, on the street between Guihoufang and Yinpingfang, some figures are busy.

Although their outfits and equipment looked a little disorganized, most of them had some kind of determination and determination on their expressions; Here is the end

It was actually where their homeland and hometown were, and even under the rule of a bad defeat, they categorically did not easily give it up to the foreign enemy to ravage it

Reason;

Moreover, according to the sworn words of many people who retreated from the front, the chickens and dogs where the Huai army passed were scorched everywhere; The old and weak who have no value

Women and children were slaughtered on the spot, and only young men and women were taken captive into slavery; In order to avoid this fate and outcome for his family,

They can only fight with this rudimentary equipment and conditions.

However, there were also a few people who showed some kind of reluctant expression, and even the hands holding the weapons seemed to be a little trembling and unsteady

It's just that the mechanical ones move with the current.

"Get ready to take on the enemy."

"The men and horses will be retreated immediately."

A bearded Pinglu officer, while standing on a cart on the street distributing weapons of all colors, while facing the looming and collapsed,

Dumped in the ruins of buildings in the streets, archers and native soldiers of all colors, as well as improvised conscripts, greeted and cheered.

"All of you cheer up, and you will call the enemy to take a good time."

"So that these Huaishang thieves can learn the bloody nature and courage of Yandi Jian'er."

The streets that were originally neatly planned and spacious and accessible have been blocked with various debris and ruins, leaving only the side twists and turns

The intricate and cobweb-thin lanes and paths served as their entry and exit and hiding place.

On some of the more spacious streets, there are all sorts of glamorous-looking goods and the like.

All they waited for was endless coldness and loneliness, as well as the smell of blood and fireworks in the distance. It is said that it was in charge of the break

The armies set fire to some of the castles near the city walls to keep the enemy from moving.

It's just that at present, it seems that there is little effect, because the organization and arrangement are relatively loose and each does its own thing, and the fire has just been lit in many places

When he got up, he was already attacked by the Huai army that was galloping forward, and he broke or fled in all directions on the spot, and the fire was extinguished again;

Therefore, as long as you stand on the city wall and look at the past from a distance, you will find that although there are actually many places where smoke is emitted, the places that really burn are only

There are only a few scattered and isolated places.

In the fallen city, it was not looted and burned as expected, not even the exclamations and screams of women, or accidents

There were no temporary cries or cries;

Since the Huai army entered Youzhou City from Kaiping, in addition to the sound of long or short shouts and firecrackers from time to time because of the enemy

, just without any other superfluous movement and noise.

This can't help but make them, the local soldiers who lurk and want to stop the enemy, be a little surprised and uncomfortable; Aren't those in recent years those times

When he broke into the territory of Pinglu Road, burned the city and plundered the land, burned and killed the captured population, did he suddenly change his temperament.

In other words, these Huai troops did not receive the lure of those goods as scheduled, and then began to scatter and burn the city and plunder, but continued to divide into one in an orderly manner

Groups of warbands, under the cover of various firearms, alternately moved forward, helping to clear one by one and one building after another, and slowly

Resolutely push forward everywhere.

From time to time, people hiding in their houses and courtyards, covered with soot and pot bottoms, were found, and then they were driven away in a whispered and suppressed cry

The street gathered the flow of people in the opposite direction of the city, and finally passed through the Kaiping Gate that had been occupied, and was escorted out of the city.

Of course, under some rumors and panic, there are also city residents who try to resist and escape, or are reluctant to let go of the hidden belongings

, and even tried to do something for themselves to get rid of this fate, but without exception it was the result of painful repression.

Without even a splash, it completely disappeared and drowned in the general trend of the Huai army's rolling advance.

And near the occupied city gate, with the demolition and clearing out of the square area, a new camp with Kaiping Gate as the core, and many correspondingly

The multi-functional space is constantly expanding and taking shape.

。。。。。。。。

Shi Xiu, who had just become a unity recruit, was undoubtedly one of the many people who had been suffering and waiting, and he was hiding in a wall with a hunting bow

Behind the half-collapsed broken wall, my palms were full of sweat and I looked forward to the empty street.

As one of the nine important towns in the north, Youzhou City once accommodated hundreds of thousands of people in its heyday and prosperous years; The same was absorbed

Naturalized people from various ethnic groups such as Khitan, Xi, Mohe, Murowei, and Silla from the surrounding area, and became permanent residents of the area;

There were even losers from the struggles in the steppes outside the Seychelles, or the losing factions that had been exiled and expelled by the princes of Anton. Alias "Desperate Saburo."

"Shi Xiu's ancestors from the Raole Governor's Mansion are one of the representatives; It's just that after seven or eight generations to his generation, the ancestors of Yu Ze have been

There was nothing left, but it made his family a lot of debts in the neighborhood.

So as a Tuhu who was so dilapidated that he was taken away from the place of refuge, he could only live on the streets, relying on the courage he still had to perform boxing for others

and Jiaojiao, relying on Guan Pounce and gambling to make a living. Because he performed very hard and hard in the hall, he got such a nickname.

As a result, since the fall of the Northern Dynasty, the years in this Youzhou city have become worse and worse, although several disputes and troops have not been affected too much.

They are the steep rising people who have no overnight food in the market, but are willing to spend a small amount of money to watch their wrestlers, strong men, and wrestlers

People are also gradually becoming extinct.

So he could only run to the porridge field, and then he became one of the newly recruited united soldiers in the city because of this 180 catties of meat that he could still see

In fact, they have only eaten the camp head meal for five or six days, and they have not even lined up in a decent formation in the basic queue, so they were hastily pulled into the city here

The battlefield is up.

And because he looks like he has long and powerful arms, he has been given a half-new hunting bow for archery, and even the process of testing his skills is saved

omitted, it was arranged in this ambush position.

As the sun gradually shifted, the stomach that had eaten a bowl of rice porridge full of sand grains in the morning had become a little empty again and secretly woke up

When he came, he had to endure the increasingly obvious hunger, and kept swallowing his saliva to slow down for a while, and then tried to recall the scene when he first entered the barracks, everyone ate bread and drank vegetable porridge.

Suddenly, the whistle of the person in charge of watching from a high place sounded, and I saw a large number of running footsteps suddenly on the street, and Shi Xiu couldn't help but lift his spirits and involuntarily probed out from the side, and saw a group of people rushing over non-stop, while still dancing and shouting something.

He couldn't help but be nervous for a moment, and his hand slipped, and most of the hunting bow flew out, and then after crossing an unpredictable arc, he landed on the head of the running man and horse, and in an instant, he fell down with a scream, and was drowned in the countless legs and feet that could not stop trampling.

And this scream seemed to have suddenly opened a certain prelude, and it seemed to have unintentionally triggered the tense strings of these soldiers who were lying in wait in the neighborhood, good and bad, and in an instant, there were many arrows that followed Shi Xiu's forehead trajectory, and flew towards these galloping men and horses from all directions, and suddenly the screams were aroused in front of them.

"Stop."

"It's my own people...

"There's an ambush...

"Help."

"Let me pass."

"The enemy is coming."

The other party, who was covered by this rain of arrows, almost scattered to dodge and escape, while shouting and trying to distinguish his identity.

And then with this delay, there was no other one;

Because the Huai army's neat light gray array slowly pushed over from the street like a molten iron stream, and the remnants of these remnants who couldn't escape were constantly knocked to the ground from behind.

Then, before waiting for these "ambush soldiers" who had already exposed most of their location, they scolded and kicked the officers around them, and once again took the bow and shot a second round of arrows.

From behind the array where the opponent stopped, some spheres that were thrown far away with smoke trails had already rushed down and bounced in the positions of these preset ambushes, and then turned into roars and explosions one after another.

Suddenly, Shi Xiu was pushed hard by a wave of air, and his back slammed against the uneven edge of the wall; At the last moment of losing consciousness, he was thinking about his sister-in-law surnamed Pan, who couldn't earn some more food to go back to support her.
