When the knife chopped by the county Sima was still three feet away from the young man, a crumpled hand reached out from the side, but it grabbed the county Sima's forearm tightly, so that the knife in his hand could no longer advance half an inch.

The young man who was beaten saw the angry county Sima raise his knife and slash at him, and he was suddenly frightened and his soul was scattered. It wasn't until the hand stretched out next to him grabbed the arm of the county Sima that he came to his senses after being in a desperate situation. However, a hot and humid breath had already come from the crotch of his pants, and the young man hurriedly stood upright regardless of these details, and did not dare to be distracted in his expression.

The knife failed to slash down, and the county Sima turned to glaring angrily at the owner of the crumpled hand that grabbed his right hand. What he saw was a face that had been through the vicissitudes of life. The years have destroyed the facial features on this person's face, and they are a little blurred. However, what made the county Sima unforgettable was the pair of bright and sharp eyes.

The county Sima's already angry heart swelled up with anger at this time. He tried his best with his right hand, but he couldn't break free from the old man's squeeze of all his strength. Sima turned to swing his left fist and punched it straight at the old man's face.

The old man got a glimpse of the fist road of Sima from that county when he came. He quickly stretched out his other hand and took the punch that had struck. The county Sima's face turned red, and his hands were doing his best. However, the old man in front of him was still calm, except for holding the fist from the county Sima hard, which made the bone joints a little white, but the old man was not panting.

After a stalemate for a long time, the county Sima finally realized that he was not the opponent of the old man in front of him, so in addition to the expression on his face that was still angry but not angry, the strength in his hand was secretly relaxed.

"He's still a baby. Why should Sima be angry? The old man saw that the strength of the stalemate between the county Sima and him was gradually relaxed, so he also spoke kindly and persuaded him.

The county Sima withdrew the knife in his hand, and then stared at the old man intently for a long time, but his expression was even more puzzled: "Have you been in the army?" The county Sima's gaze began to ease slightly.

"Ah, back then, the old man once followed the Song capital to protect the east to the national disaster, and he also cut off a Hu man's head under Chang'an City." The old man's face was calm, and he said slowly: "It's been many years ago, and I can't count it." Now that the family's livelihood is struggling, they have to go into battle again. Between the old man's words, there was no lack of sadness.

"Since my husband has cut off Hu Ren's head, he must also have military merits, why didn't he stay in the army?" The county Sima Fang saw the strength of the old man, and learned that the old man was an old pawn under the command of Song Pei in the past, and he unconsciously had a little respect during his conversation.

"Originally, the old man relied on his military merits, but he was able to mix with an official and a half-position in the army. However, the old man just wants to go home and take care of his mother-in-law and baby. He left the army. Unexpectedly, after many years, I had to put on a battle again. Ahem, this creation is really confusing. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Sima of the county couldn't help but sigh. He secretly wrote down the old man's face and asked the old man's name. This old man is Lao Yang, who secretly came to join the army with his daughter on his back, named Yang Guangzhu. Before leaving, he finally got his long-cherished wish and saw his daughter marry the only remaining single seedling of the old Wu family. The two veterans secretly escaped from their homes behind their families, and agreed to enlist together and then go to the battlefield. The county Sima patted the old man, then turned around and continued to inspect the team. The angry anger of Fang Cai had vanished at this time.

What happened to the boy also made the surrounding chaotic crowd quickly understand his situation. They became nervous at the right time, and after the cheering orders of the surrounding cadres, the queue was already in shape. Everyone was afraid that if they were not careful, they would touch the moldy head of the grumpy county Sima again, and they would be regarded as the chicken that killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey.

Seeing that his attitude was fruitful, the county Sima also felt a sense of satisfaction and self-satisfaction in his heart. Although these rabble did not yet possess the discipline and combat effectiveness that an army should have, at this moment, most of the newcomers standing here had a sense of fear for him. And this is exactly what he wants.

I can see that these newcomers have already lined up a somewhat interesting queue. Although it still seems a little intertwined and uneven. However, at this time, the county Sima could no longer ask them for more.

The crowd of people who saw them off was still isolated by the county soldiers. Seeing that the veterans who were temporarily serving as the baggage team under his command had already loaded the grain, grass, materials, ordnance, etc. needed for the pulling, the county Sima finally stood on the point platform with great ambition, stretched out his hand to the south, and shouted: "Go!" ”

As the team moved slowly, the relatives and relatives of the soldiers who saw them off around were squeezing forward again, crying and trying to break through the barriers of the county soldiers, see their relatives again, and feel their temperature. However, the county soldiers who received strict orders stubbornly stuck to their posts, formed a solid human wall, and listened to the impact of these people wave after wave, but they never moved.

Until the army, which seemed a little down, faded away, these family members who saw them off still chased along both sides of the road they had gone, crying and shouting.

But no matter how hard they tried to catch up, or they cried hysterically. These relatives of theirs are about to embark on the battlefield of fate. Maybe one day in the near future, they will separate the yin and the yang.

The team struggled forward, and about half an hour passed. The cries of those loved ones can no longer be heard in the rear. However, under the orders of the county Sima, this rabble-like recruit army still advanced lightly. The grain and grass materials escorted by the old soldiers were far behind.

The purpose of the county Sima ordering the troops to advance in a hurry is also very clear. He wanted to speed up and rush to the Jincheng camp with this team. Then let them take a look at the extremely tragic battlefield under Jincheng County, and feel the atmosphere of slaughter in advance. He is trying to use his own way to make these newcomers overcome their fears and become a usable army.

In the early morning, the county soldiers who rushed to the camp on the north bank of Jincheng overnight and put together improvised finally appeared in the field of vision of Zuodu Hu Han Ning, who was standing on the watchtower and couldn't wait. Seeing this reinforcement army that came from afar, Han Ning finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. He walked down the watchtower in three steps and two steps, and then walked past the creaking wall of the plank-paved camp. Then he led dozens of guards to go out of the camp to meet the first army to help.

However, when Han Ning approached, looking at the uneven old and weak young people in the team, Han Ning's eyes showed a touch of restlessness.

Although the number of this support army was three or four thousand, the situation that Han Ning observed told him that this army was definitely a ragtag army made up of farmers who had just put down their hoes!
