The sky outside the plug is far away and vast, with few white clouds and a blue sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was just after midnight (nine o'clock in the morning), and the giant sun in the sky had already begun to unscrupulously release its innate light and heat, and happily sprinkled countless hot rays that could burn the human body on every inch of land outside the plug.

The water of the Shule River is still in the quiet east, not happy for things or sad for itself, and only it knows that its flesh and blood are rising silently under the scorching sun.

The gurgling water, the straight peaks, the endless vast grassland, the brilliant sunshine is a little excessive. This is a different kind of picturesque scenery from Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

It's just that the rich smell of blood wafting in the air and the earth-shattering shouts and roars of horses' hooves make the picturesque scenery outside the plug a little more strange

In the embryonic Beacon City, there are roofless houses and empty streets, and long clusters of arrows can be seen everywhere deep in the earth or in the human body.

Everywhere in the empty Beacon City can be seen large beaches of blood that have condensed into dark red under the sun, and on top of these bloodstains are the corpses of Huns with hair tied into strands of pigtails, these corpses are either lying to the ground or facing the sky on their backs, without exception, their faces are full of horror that cannot be concealed and the memory of this world.

That's when death has come, and they're the last thing they left in this world.

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, dressed in black armor, were directing the surviving Huns to clean up the corpses in the city. Under such a scorching sun, these corpses may rot and stink after two hours of exposure to the sun.

Behind a rudimentary building with an unfinished adobe foundation. More Huns were shivering and hiding in the rear, as if the small adobe could withstand the countless rain of arrows that fell from the sky, and could protect them from harm.

Under the wall of Bijia City, which is less than a foot high, rows of soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army are resting nervously. They didn't know when the aliens outside wielding scimitars and longbows would attack again, and the only thing they could do was to seize every minute and every second to regain their strength, so that they could come forward to support at any time when the city was tight.

At the head of Beacon City, four majestic figures in black armor stood tall like a mountain.

"General, go down to the city and rest, there are ...... here"

"Let the brethren go down to the city and rest in the shade. As expected, it is not bad. This group of barbarians from the Western Regions came to attack again half an hour later. "The tube is easy to wipe away the beads of sweat that cover the eyelids. Interrupt the words of the two or five hundred lords behind him.

"General......

"Liyue, go and see how many casualties the brothers have. Cremate Jane's brothers and the rest of the fallen brethren, well, and the Huns who were killed. It was also cremated. It's too hot. ”

Guan Yi waved his hand. Looking back at the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army on the head of the city who were still as straight as a mountain like himself and others under the scorching sun, their eyes that were as hard as iron instantly became a little soft.

"The last general commands!" The general of the Jiuyuan Army who called Liyue clasped his fists and saluted.

Guan Yi is a captain, and he commands the elite soldiers of the 5,000 Yuan Army. 5,000 soldiers. According to the Great Qin military system, there will inevitably be five two or five hundred lords. Li Yue was only one of them, and there were four two or five hundred masters and three others standing behind Guan Yi.

Jian Zhi, the last two or five hundred masters, has already died!

At the end of the day, the 20,000 Huns in the city had just begun a day's work. The scorching sun outside the fortress is far more poisonous than that of Guanzhong, so most of the time Guan Yi and others began to build the city from the time of Mao (five o'clock in the morning), and as soon as the time passed (nine o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock in the morning), they all entered the tent to rest and eat, and did not work again until after the time of Shen (three o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon).

This is to preserve physical strength to the greatest extent, and also to prevent the Xiongnu who are responsible for building the city from scorching heat stroke and die in the scorching sun.

Such a gentle and humane approach was naturally ordered by Hu Hai. In fact, in the eyes of most people in this era, captives are equivalent to dead people, and they can be beaten and killed. And the Qin army, which was known for its fierce and brave martial arts, would definitely not have done such a thing.

The attack, without warning, suddenly descended on Beacon City, which had just begun a day's work.

I don't know where the cavalry came out of nowhere suddenly appeared on the prairie only ten miles away from Beacon City, and when the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves sounded, everyone in Beacon City heard the movement.

Unfortunately, this time it was already too late. Wielding scimitars, whistling and beating horses, the alien cavalry in various costumes rushed overwhelmingly.

If it weren't for the soldiers of Yiwuwu, Yishishi, and Yituntun Jiuyuan who were scattered around Bijia City to guard and charged up against the foreign cavalry that was rushing wildly, then the 20,000 Xiongnu would have been left in the first wave of attacks.

The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army saved the lives of most of the Xiongnu, but the casualties in this first engagement reached more than 2,000 people. The 5,009 original soldiers under Guan Yi were all foot soldiers.

If the two thousand Nine Yuan Army clans could form a phalanx of foot soldiers that the Great Qin infantry was accustomed to, then there would definitely be casualties, but against the cavalry in the state of charging, they would definitely not lose so much.

And Jian Zhi, who was the lord of two or five hundred, died at that time.

This is an unprecedented casualty of the Jiuyuan Army in more than ten years.

Guan Yi didn't know which clan these alien cavalry were and why they would attack Daqin Bijia City, but he knew one thing, that is, he would defend Bijia City no matter what, and defend it until Su Jiao, the lieutenant of Hexi County, led the army forward.

This is about the reputation of the Jiuyuan Army, and even more about the majesty of Great Qin.

The cavalry outside the city was estimated to be at least 50,000 people, and now the Jiuyuan army that has retreated to the embryonic Beacon City is less than 3,000 people, and of course there are more than 14,000 people who are still in shock.

Fortunately, Beacon City is built on a mountain, with Beacon Hill close to the back and north, and the Shule River to the south, so the cavalry cannot be deployed, and only the west side of the city wall is enough.

With more than 10,000 Xiongnu and less than 3,000 elite soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, Guan Yi knew that he would definitely be able to hold out until Su Jiao's army arrived.

"Woooooo

The high-pitched sound of trumpets came from far outside the city.

The alien cavalry outside the city began to assemble, forming a long scattered fan and slowly crushing towards Beacon City. Guan Yi knew that this was a preparation before charging from the cavalry. Looking at the messy formation, Guan Yi felt indescribable grievances in his heart.

Such cavalry, even if they were not equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, only 10,000 people were needed to kill them. However, now he can only cower in Beacon City.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Yi suddenly burst out.

"Jiuyuan Army, where is it!?"

"In!"

"Can you fight?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

More than a thousand lonely black-armored warriors stood on the low walls of Beacon City, their roars condensed together and soared into the sky. (To be continued......)
