Chapter 8 Jade Pendant

The snoring sound of the Beihu camp was like thunder, the wind and snow were blowing, and before the Beihu soldiers could enjoy the mare's milk wine in their dreams, they were awakened by the war drums, supported their weak bodies, tightened their sheepskin coats, and immediately prepared to assemble.

As soon as the sky was bright and the wind and snow stopped, the sentry on the tower of Beiguan City saw the Beihu army gradually emerging above the horizon, and soon the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the grassland and the shouts of the Beihu people were getting closer and closer to the city wall. After a while, it was less than a mile away from the city wall, and the Beihu army finally stopped at this moment, as if it was showing off its might to the soldiers in the city, declaring its strength.

There was no emotion on the cold faces of the sergeants on the city tower, and behind them were busy with a large number of recruited laborers, who were carrying the equipment for defending the city neatly put together, as well as a large number of swords and shields.

Suddenly there was a very noisy sound in the city, which became louder and louder, and there was a constant loud scolding and crying on the city walls, followed by the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of a page of armor colliding, and then the sound of several sharp weapons piercing flesh, and then there was no sound, only a few occasional sobs.

The city gate shook a few times, and a large group of yellow-skinned, thin-skinned people in military uniforms poured out of the city gate. At this time, there were also countless archers at the battlements of the tower, and the tips of the arrows flashed with cold light and pointed directly at the group of soldiers who poured out of the city gate.

After the thousands of soldiers were forced out of the city gate by the sergeants behind, the city gate was immediately closed. Standing in the cold wind and shivering, this group of soldiers was like lambs, and the Beihu army not far away was like the fierce hungry wolves, they had no power to resist.

"You are all guilty people, now you defend your family and defend the country and bravely kill the enemy, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, if you have made meritorious achievements and survived, the general will definitely take off your slavery for you, and reward you according to the head, rest assured! As long as you can hold on to a pillar of incense, the soldiers in the city will naturally rescue you, hehe" said to the group of people below the city wall dressed in school captain armor, as for whether someone will be sent to rescue them, it must be a lie.

At the same time, on the city wall, the swords and shields that had just been transported were thrown down the city tower one after another.

How could these desperate people not know that this was death, and in the face of a hopeless glimmer of life, everyone did not directly give up resistance, but successively picked up the weapons they felt were worthy.

.......

The Beihu army looked at the soldiers rushing towards him, all of them were yellow and thin, and couldn't help but laugh for a while, is this here to send them to death?

Of course, the Beihu army was not to be outdone, and directly sent nearly 100 cavalry to meet the battle.

Unexpectedly, Da Zhou was so down, and the soldiers in the Beihu army all laughed in their hearts.

The speed of the cavalry had long since increased to the extreme and began to charge, getting closer and closer to the city walls.

This group of abandoned slaves suddenly yelled, "Rush! ”

One person is carrying a big knife and charging straight forward. The rest of the people's blood rushed straight to their brains, whether it was for meritorious service or the last struggle before death, they all roared and rushed forward.

"Anyone or anyone within range can fire three volleys." The captain glanced at the cavalry of nearly 100 people, explained the guards on duty and left.

"Yes!"

These cavalry of nearly 100 people were obviously sent by the enemy to find out their truth, and they were also soldiers used to send them to death.

The group of cavalry roared, the scimitar in their hands and the sturdy war horse under the crotch almost did not hinder the slave in the slightest, the blade skimmed over the thin body of the slave, and the huge hooves of the war horse stepped on the slave, and the thousands of slaves almost collapsed at the touch of a button. With the interspersed penetration of the Beihu cavalry, there were two or three hundred more corpses on the snow, which collapsed in an instant, and everyone scattered and fled.

Some of them ran in the direction of the city tower at the fastest speed, but the Beihu cavalry never came close to within an arrow, and the distance was very accurate.

These cavalrymen wanted to control the speed of the horses under their hips, which gave the slaves a chance to flee back, but just thinking that the cavalry would no longer pursue, and he narrowly escaped with his life, an arrow took away all his hope, and all the slaves within the range of the bow and arrow were shot!

These escaped slaves were even more frightened, and the hopeless glimmer of life disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The scattered slaves were soon overtaken by the cavalry, and there were several waves of slaves that posed a slight threat to the cavalry, but they were soon cleared.

In less than a pillar of incense, thousands of corpses of slaves and dozens of corpses of Beihu people appeared on the snow outside Beiguan, and calm was restored again.

"Report to the general, none of the soldiers outside the city survived, and dozens of Beihu people were killed and wounded" The guards on the city wall were even denser than just now. A sergeant reported to the defender of the city

"Hmph, if you're dead, let's die, just let Beihu be happy for another day" Gu Jinan said with a gloomy face.

——

The next day

Inside the big tent, Lin Yixiao saw that Yang Qice outside the screen had already put on the basalt fish scale armor and was about to leave, and hesitated in his heart, when Yang Qice was already a few steps closer to the door curtain, Lin Yixiao finally firmed up in his heart, hurried over, stopped Yang Qice, and handed the jade pendant held in his hand to Yang Qice.

"This little girl with a jade pendant has been wearing it on her body since she was a child, hoping that the general will be able to return triumphantly."

Lin Yixiao's face was slightly red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Yang Qice's eyes, feeling a little apprehensive.

"I see."

Yang Qice stretched out his hand to take it and said expressionlessly.

Lin Yixiao thought that Yang Qice would refuse, but she didn't expect Yang Qice to accept it.

As the curtain fell, Lin Yixiao was the only one left in the tent again, she didn't know the life in the army, and she didn't dare to walk around the tent at will, although she was like a bird in a cage, but she didn't have any discomfort, after all, women in ancient times, in the deep palace courtyard, have been used to living, here is nothing more than a change of place, narrowing the scope, and, because Yang Qice accepted the jade pendant she gifted, her heart was full of joy at the moment.

Soon, Lin Yixiao returned to the bed and sat down, sorrow occupied her heart again, it is reported that the Beihu million army, I don't know if Yang Qice can return safely in this battle, and where are his parents at the moment?

Lin Yixiao couldn't help resenting that she was just a powerless woman, and the joy just now had been buried in her heart.

——

Before I knew it, it was more than half of the night, and the night was a little brighter than usual against the backdrop of the cold winter snow.

Near the hill, nine hundred men stood as armed, like corpses dried in the snow, without any movement, lurking in the low grass. Among them, 800 people were wearing black armor and holding horse lances, the purpose of this group was the Chinese army commander and led by Yang Qice himself, and the other 100 people were dressed in Mingguang armor and wore demon masks on their faces, these 100 people were the ghost dumb army that no one knew except Yang Qice and Chen Yujue.
