In the rain, the roads were muddy and it was difficult to walk. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this regard, the 100,000 people in Beiliangcheng did not complain, helping the old and the young to move forward, and everyone knew that stopping might mean losing their lives.

The movement of 100,000 people migrating is too big, and it is impossible for the Jin army not to pursue after learning about it, so it is only necessary for the Jin army not to find out that Beiliang City has gone to the empty city too quickly, otherwise it is destined to be a disaster for the 100,000 people of Beiliang.

However, fortunately, in the battle of Beiliangcheng, the Han army captured a large number of Jin army war horses, which became pack horses at this time, reducing the burden of the people of Beiliangcheng, thus effectively speeding up the march.

The people's rations are not a problem, there is enough grain and grass in Beiliang City, and the Jin army's baggage has been captured, Xuanyuan Chen ordered to open the official warehouse to distribute all the grain to the people when he abandoned the city, so there is no need to worry about the people having no food to eat within half a month, and this also increases the determination of the people of Beiliang City to escape.

It's just that Xuanyuan Chen wants to save the lives of the people in the city, but some people are lucky and would rather put their fate in the hands of the Jin army.

About 4,000 people who were reluctant to leave their homeland were reluctant to leave Beiliang City.

How simple and sad it is.

The Jin army suffered such heavy losses in the battle of Beiliangcheng that it would inevitably vent its anger and kill people, and when the 4,000 people made the decision to stay, they were doomed to a miserable end.

Xuanyuan Chen only sighed at this, he did everything he had to do, but he still couldn't save everyone after all.

There is still half a day to reach Heishui, and after crossing the big river, they will enter the Pengcheng area, which is also the final destination of Xuanyuan Chen and 100,000 people fleeing south.

The three largest cities in the West Mountain Road of the Han Dynasty are Beiliang, Pengcheng, and Tianshui, and after Beiliang City was abandoned, Pengcheng and Tianshui became the most worthy places for the people of Beiliang.

The reason why Xuanyuan Chen chose Pengcheng instead of Tianshui was because of the big river Heishui, which could be used as a natural danger to block the pursuit of the Jin army.

It's just that after crossing the black water, whether he really wants to stop in Pengcheng, Xuanyuan Chen was shaken in his heart after hearing Leng Junao's reminder.

Beiliangcheng was attacked by the Jin army, and Pengcheng and Tianshui were unmoved, as if they were completely unknown, which had to make people doubt their position.

So when 100,000 Beiliang people come to Pengcheng, what kind of treatment will they encounter?

Xuanyuan Chen didn't know that he, the former puppet prince, had no influence on Peng Cheng at all.

But now, even if the future is uncertain, he has to march towards Pengcheng.

The helpless choice is just the only choice.

The rain became lighter, the wind eased, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers ahead, and the shouts of "Heishui Bridge, Heishui Bridge" were faintly heard.

Xuanyuan Chen walked out of the carriage, the fresh air came with a fresh smell of tender grass sprouting, Xuanyuan Chen let out a long breath, and saw that the people were rushing forward, so he also walked away.

The sun sets, and the river is like a belt.

At dusk after the rain, the grass and trees are dewed. Xuanyuan Chen walked to the shore, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the river, the river water was sparkling, and it seemed to be paved with a layer of light gold.

After a whole day's rapid march, both the 100,000 people and the soldiers of the Han army were exhausted, and it was impossible for more than 100,000 people to pass through the black water at once, Xuanyuan Chen thought for a moment and ordered: "Look for ferries along the riverbank, the old and weak women and children will cross the river from the pontoon bridge first, and the rest will rest in place."

There are only three pontoon bridges on the black water, only wide enough for five people to walk side by side, and without ferries, it would take at least three hours for 100,000 people to pass.

The three critical hours are also the fatal three hours.

Xuanyuan Chen never expected the Jin army to give up the pursuit, and it would be dangerous to stay on the bank of the Heishui River for a moment, once the Jin army was infested, it would mean a vicious battle.

Two thousand remnants of Beiliang, plus five hundred Han cavalry who escaped from Beishan, this is the only force in Xuanyuan Chen's hands.

As long as the Jin army pursues to this point, these 2,500 people will bear the heavy responsibility of blocking the Jin army, as for the outcome, Xuanyuan Chen doesn't want to think about it, he can only do it, but he has no right to judge the result.

Sometimes, there are some things that you know you can't do, but as a soldier, you must stand in front of the people, and if you will definitely die in battle, the soldiers must also die before the people.

It's a responsibility, and it's an honor!

Xuanyuan Chen's order came out, and a team of Han troops began to search for ferries along the coast, and the people who did not have their turn to cross the river gathered in groups of three or five, took out the dry food in their baggage, and ate it with cold water.

Perhaps because of the great victory of the Han army in the first battle of Beiliangcheng, the people did not panic much, laughter and laughter were heard from time to time in the crowd, and the people crossing the river in front were also orderly.

Everything seemed to be going very well, but Xuanyuan Chen's eyes were not a little relaxed, and suddenly the corner of his eye jumped, only to see someone riding a horse from a distance, and after dismounting, he said loudly: "Lord Wang, the Jin army scout has been found in the north!" ”

What should have come is still coming, like the calm before the storm, but it is just an illusion of slackness.

Xuanyuan Chen took a deep breath, and only said slowly after a while: "Captain Zuo, send someone to investigate again, if you find a large force of the Jin Army, immediately return to this king." "Captain Zuo's name is Zuo Kui, and he is one of the five hundred horsemen who broke through from Beishan.

Zuo Kui is the second best person in the five hundred cavalry after Leng Junao, if he hadn't been a little rude and not good at interpersonal communication, he would have been promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Zhichong with military merits alone, rather than a mere captain.

In addition to Zuo Kui, the five hundred cavalry led by Leng Junao were all elites who had survived a hundred battles.

And after breaking out of the 80,000 Jin army, although these 500 people were fugitive divisions, everyone's morale was very high, but when they encountered the 3,000 friendly troops outside Beiliang City who were unarmoured and fighting, they almost instantly put away all their arrogance.

Heroes cherish heroes!

The two heroic teams will become close without any communication, and after touching each other along the way, Leng Junao's five hundred horsemen and two thousand remnants of the Northern Liang Army have been integrated, and Xuanyuan Chen and Leng Junao have also won the praise of the other party's soldiers at the same time.

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's order, Zuo Kui said without hesitation: "My subordinates understand, please rest assured." He spoke loudly, and his eyes were full of reverence.

In the army, the strong are respected, and Xuanyuan Chen's performance in the battle has undoubtedly won enough respect.

Xuanyuan Chen's expression was calm, and he did not show any panic because of the appearance of the Jin army's scouts, and he didn't even look at the north where the Jin army would appear at any time, but looked south and said, "Captain Zuo, do you know who the Pengcheng County Guard is?"

Zuo Kui touched his slippery head, he has a vulgar temperament, he only has wine and meat on weekdays, where would he care about what Pengcheng County guard, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Leng Junao's voice came, and he said indifferently as always: "The Pengcheng County Guard is called Wenshi Dao, and I heard that he is the proud protégé of King Qi."

Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows, but he sighed, he knew that King Qi was the younger brother of today's Holy Mother, did Leng Junao mention King Qi have any deep meaning?

Beiliang City was besieged, and Wen Shidao saw death and couldn't save it, could it be that there was an instruction from the King of Qi?

Xuanyuan Chen's eyes condensed, and he said faintly: "What a protégé of King Qi, I don't know how much face I, the King of Beiliang, can have in him." Before the words fell, there was an exclamation from the riverbank.

There was an object floating on the shore, and on closer inspection, it turned out to be not an object, but a corpse.

Xuanyuan Chen's gaze stayed on the corpse, his face changed slightly, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.

The corpse was wearing armor, and it was also the standard armor of the Han army.

Who is the deceased, could it be the defenders of Pengcheng, what happened to Pengcheng?

Two soldiers rushed to the corpse, and one of them poked his head out, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "It's Tang Yun!"

As soon as Tang Yun's words came out, it immediately caused a commotion in the Beiliang army, just because he was the commander of the hundreds of cavalry of the Han army who left from the south of Beiliang City and lured Aqige to pursue.

His body was rushed from the upper reaches of the Black Water, which was in the direction of Pengcheng.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Chen's gaze was like the tip of a needle, and his voice was hoarse: "I thought Tang Yun and they would die well, but I didn't expect ......" He didn't say any more, but the extremely cold tone had already explained a lot of problems.

Leng Jun's arrogant eyes were still indifferent, Zuo Kui was a little dazed, and the Han army in Beiliang City was almost full of righteous indignation.

At this moment, another exclamation sounded, Xuanyuan Chen looked for prestige, his face was already a little miserable, and he saw the north almost instantly, and a puff of smoke rushed up.

The smoke is all over the sky, and Xiao is ruthless.

After only a moment, a horse galloped over and shouted: "Lord Wang, there is a golden army to kill, at least a thousand!"

The man on horseback was Wan Xiaodao, and as soon as he finished speaking, he rolled from his horse and fell to the ground, with a feathered arrow stuck in his back shoulder, and bright red blood bloomed from his wound like a plum blossom.

A soldier stepped forward to pick up the ten thousand small knives and carefully pulled out the feather arrows for him, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes showed a look of horror, and he stared at the feather arrows in his hand and said: "It's the ghost tooth chasing the wind arrow!"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and their hearts were pounding, as if they were about to jump out of their chests.

Ghost tooth chasing wind arrow, the arrow is made of black iron, extremely sharp, the arrow body is made of rare iron wood in the grassland, light and tough, the tail of the arrow is made of the feathers of the rare bird Hai Dongqing, the cost of such an arrow is high, and it is also a sharp killing weapon.

And in the steppes, only one army is qualified to use such arrows.

That is the head of the Three Wolf Army under the command of the Dajin Lord Borjueluo, the Heavenly Wolf Army!

The elite of the 5,000 gold army that Batu brought to Beiliang City was the Wild Wolf Army, one of the Three Wolf Army, in addition to the Earth Wolf Army, and the Sky Wolf Army, which had the strongest combat power.

Dajin has 200,000 male soldiers, and there are only 1,000 heavenly wolf troops!

Although the number of the Sky Wolf Army is small, it is the most terrifying force in the hands of Borjueluo, and it will never move lightly until it is necessary, but I didn't expect it to appear here, and probably only the Sky Wolf Army can pursue it in the shortest time.

Wan Xiaodao desperately reported the news, and he bought a little time for 100,000 soldiers and civilians, but this time was too short.

Xuanyuan Chen wanted to line up to meet the enemy, but soon found that he didn't have time to line up the whole army at all, and a trace of ground trembling came from the soles of his feet, and then turned into a trembling mountain.

The black dust danced wildly in the sky, and it was like a tornado, roaring.

A thousand heavenly wolf army, in the blink of an eye!

Wan Xiaodao straightened up with difficulty and hissed, "Lord Wang, cross the river quickly." ”

Xuanyuan Chen was unmoved, still standing in place, and only did one thing.

He faced the speeding Sky Wolf Army, and slammed his hand up, and in a brilliant silver light, the battle knife had been pulled out!
