Yang He pondered for a while, and felt that the difficulty was not too great, some ordinary soldiers were just some soldiers, what kind of precautions could they have? If the assassination of such a person is not successful, then Yang He is really ashamed of the leader's cultivation and high hopes for him.

However, you have to be prepared to be discovered by Jianyu, who is mostly cavalry, and will definitely not be able to outrun the horse with his legs, so Yang He also needs to prepare a long-range weapon to snipe and chase the enemy.

At the moment, the only weapon with long-range sniping function is bows and arrows, Yang He looked at the two archers and smiled: "This big brother, can you lend me the bow and arrows?" ”

The two archers listened, and hurriedly untied their bows and handed them to Yang He: "Big brother, please take a look." ”

Yang He took the bow with a smile: "I don't know if I can pull it away." ”

After speaking, Yang He held his breath and began to pull the bow and string, not wanting to use much force, so he pulled the bow in a full circle.

Yang He couldn't help but be stunned: The pulling force of this bow is too small, right? Can the arrows of such a bow be powerful?

Looking at the two archers, Yang He asked suspiciously, "Two big brothers, how much strength does it take to open this bow?" ”

The two archers smiled awkwardly: "This is a half-stone bow, I'm afraid the eldest brother won't be able to use it." ”

Yang He also didn't know how much tension the half-stone bow was, the composite bow he used before was measured in kilograms, and if the tension was calculated in kilograms, the tension of this bow was less than twenty kilograms.

Yang He shook his head slightly, the arrows shot by such a bow are estimated to be lethal only within twenty meters, but the archer is within twenty meters of the enemy, isn't it looking for death?

Sweeping it over everyone's faces, Yang He sighed softly, if you can hit the enemy remotely on the battlefield, then you will never be in close combat, and everyone should understand this truth. But as a long-range weapon, it can only attack such a short distance, so can it still be called a long-range weapon?

Yang He thought for a while, he had seen the history of weapon development before, and in his impression, muskets should have been widely used in the army during the Ming Dynasty, but judging from the fact that these people did not carry muskets but carried bows and arrows, the power or range of muskets at this time should not be as good as bows and arrows, otherwise they would not have brought muskets.

Shaking his head, Yang He returned the bow and arrow to the man.

Everyone didn't know what Yang He meant by looking at the bow, but Yang He didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask, so they just ate meat silently.

After everyone finished eating and rested for a while, Zhang Shun got up and said, "Let's go." ”

Yang He nodded, got up and followed Zhang Shun's side, and then the group got up one after another, and under the leadership of Zhang Shun, everyone walked in the direction when they came and went.

After walking for more than ten miles, the terrain gradually flattened, the trees became more and more sparse, the terrain was flat, and the speed of the people also accelerated a lot.

After walking for another forty or fifty miles, the sky gradually brightened, and I saw a fortress in front of me in the distance, and a high platform in the fortress.

Seeing the fortress, Zhang Shun waved his hand, and everyone hurriedly stopped.

After stopping and watching for a while, Zhang Shun sighed and said: "This pier has been broken by Jianjiao, but I don't know if there are still living people in the platform, and whether there are Jianjiao guarding it." ”

"Pier? What is it for? Yang He asked.

Zhang Shun said: "For warning." There are many such piers on the line from Liaoyang to Guangning, there is one every few miles, as long as there are enemy troops around the piers, the soldiers guarding the piers will light the beacon fire, and the pier platform a few miles away will see the beacon fire, and immediately follow the beacon fire, so that the news of the enemy's invasion can be quickly transmitted to the rear. ”

Yang He nodded, this kind of early warning method is indeed fast, no matter how fast the enemy's action speed is, it is not as fast as the speed of fireworks warning, and the people in the rear can prepare in advance when they see the beacon fire, the war wisdom of the ancients is indeed amazing.

After thinking about it, Yang He asked, "Brother Zhang, how do you conclude that this pier has been broken by Jianyu?" ”

Zhang Shun said with a smile: "At this hour, every household should make a fire to make food, but there is no trace of cooking smoke in the pier in front, which is obviously unreasonable. ”

Yang He stared intently for a while, and saw that there was a faint puff of green smoke rising from the pier, and it was immediately blown away by the wind.

Yang He nodded secretly, admiring Zhang Shun's careful observation.

After watching for a while, Yang He suddenly said, "You guys wait here, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Zhang Shun hurriedly said: "Be careful that there are Jianyu in the pier. ”

Yang He said with a smile: "Jianyu also has to make a fire to warm up and eat, and now there is no fireworks in the pier, so there must be no Jianyu." ”

Zhang Shun said: "It's better to be careful, you see what weapon is handy, take the weapon and go." ”

Yang He nodded: "Thank you Brother Zhang for reminding me, then give me a gun." ”

Zhang Shun turned around and asked for a spear from the soldier's hand, handed it to Yang He and said, "Brother Yang, be careful. ”

Yang He took the gun, waved his hand to everyone, and turned around and walked towards the pier.

I saw that Yang He's movements were extremely agile, or he took a few quick steps, or lowered his body, and from time to time used obstacles to cover his figure, and soon approached the dungeon.

When he arrived nearby, Yang He carefully looked at the castle, the area of this castle is not large, the side length is only about 30 meters, but the city wall is not short, it is more than five meters high, and a high platform inside is more than ten meters high.

Yang He slowly touched the vicinity of the dungeon, but saw that the gate of the dungeon was open, Yang He listened intently for a while, but there was no sound in the dungeon.

Yang He flashed into the door, and when he saw that the pier was in a mess, there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and then he saw that the pier was full of lodging corpses, among which there were several women, and most of these women were disheveled.

Suddenly, Yang He's pupils contracted, but he saw a woman holding a child in her arms, the child's back had been stained red with blood, and the woman's eyes were wide open, although her eyes were long gone, but she could still see that her eyes were full of despair and unwillingness before she died.

After a while, Yang He came to his senses and began to search carefully among the remaining houses in the pier, but unfortunately there was no living mouth in the houses.

Yang He has seen many bloody scenes, but it is the first time he has seen such a cruel scene of killing people in a small city, and for a while, Yang He held the spear tightly with both hands, and his heart was full of anger.

After half a ring, Yang He finally calmed down and began to collect firewood and grass.

Yang He's purpose in collecting firewood and grass was to cremate these people.

Of course, Yang He knew that the ancients paid attention to entering the soil for safety, but now the weather is so cold, the land has long been frozen hard, and it is not enough to dig a pit and bury these people for a few days, but how can Yang He have time to do these things now? Therefore, the bodies of these people can only be cremated.

Piling up firewood and grass in the open space, Yang He was about to move the corpse out of the house, when he suddenly saw a set of shabby coarse cloth clothes on the kang in the house, Yang He walked over and picked it up and looked at it, only to see that although the clothes were worn, they were very clean, and there were several new patches on them, one of which was still connected with needles and threads.

Remembering that his clothes and shoes were out of place, Yang He sighed softly, tore off the needle and thread, quickly untied his wolf skin coat, took off all the clothes inside, changed into the worn-out clothes, and then tied the wolf skin on his body, and then Yang He found a pair of worn-out shoes, took off the shoes on his feet and put them on.

Packing his clothes and shoes still on the firewood and grass, Yang He began to carry the corpse.

When carrying the corpses, Yang He counted them, and there were twenty-six corpses in total, including seven soldiers, and the rest were old people, women and children.

Piling the corpse on the firewood and grass, Yang He took out the matches and lit the firewood and grass, originally Yang He wanted to burn the matches together, but after thinking about it, he finally stayed. Because Yang He is not as good as how the ancients made fire, once needed in the future, this match can still come in handy.

Seeing that the fire was growing, Yang He bowed deeply, turned around and strode away from the fort.

Seeing that Yang He had entered the pier and had not seen movement for a long time, Zhang Shun and the others gradually became anxious, and suddenly saw a fire burning in the pier, and everyone didn't know what had happened, and wanted to go over to see but didn't dare.

In a hurry, I saw Yang He striding out of the pier, and Zhang Shun and others hurriedly greeted him.

Without waiting for Yang He to approach, Zhang Shun hurriedly asked, "Brother Yang, what happened inside?" ”

Yang He said in a deep voice: "All of them are dead, there is no one alive, I just gathered the corpses together and buried them with fire." ”

Zhang Shun wanted to say what to do with them, but seeing Yang He's gloomy and terrible face, Zhang Shun's heart was agitated, and he immediately stopped talking.

Yang He walked to Zhang Shun's side, handed the gun back to Zhang Shun, and then asked, "Brother Zhang, I don't know something, why are there so many soldiers' families in the dungeon fort, don't they know that Jianyu will come?" ”

Zhang Shun smiled bitterly: "Isn't this the New Year, everyone didn't expect that Jianyu would send troops in the first month." ”

"New Year?" Yang He wondered.

Immediately, Yang He shook his head slightly: "I have long forgotten the time in the mountains, how much is the first month of the first month today?" ”

Zhang Shundao: "Today is the twenty-second day of the first lunar month. ”

Yang He nodded, and didn't ask what year it was, it is estimated that Zhang Shun doesn't know how many years it is now, if Zhang Shun used the ancient year, Yang He doesn't know what year it is.

Turning his head to look at the crowd, Yang He said, "If the brothers are tired and hungry, rest for a while and eat something first." ”

Zhang Shun shook his head: "I will arrive at Xiping Fort after walking for half a day, and it will not be too late to rest then." ”

Yang He nodded and gently patted Zhang Shun's shoulder.

Zhang Shun beckoned, and everyone had no choice but to continue to hurry.

On the way, he encountered several dungeons, and at this time, he didn't need to look again to know that the dun was bound to be slaughtered by Jianyu, but Yang He still led everyone into the dun to cremate the corpses inside.

When he came to a fort again, Zhang Shun suddenly took Yang He's hand and said: "Brother Yang, you can't light the fire anymore, this place is not far from Xiping Fort, if it is ignited, I am afraid it will be discovered by Jianyu." ”

Yang He nodded: "How far is it?" ”

Zhang Shun said: "There are still more than ten miles away. ”

Yang He said: "Then you can rest here, I'll go to the front to investigate, if you think it's not safe in the pier, just look for a remote and hidden place outside." ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this.

Seeing that Yang He turned around and wanted to go, Zhang Shun grabbed Yang He's hand and said, "Brother Yang, why don't you take a break?" You haven't eaten anything for most of the night! ”

Yang He shook his head, looked at the corpse in the pier and sighed: "I can't eat it, I feel panicked." ”
